Since the opening of the Fusheng Pavilion and the incident with leprosy, Liu Shimei hadn’t returned to the ancestral home for over ten days.

Liu Fuyun had wanted to find her, but as a father, he did not want to lose face by searching for his daughter. He thought such matters weren’t urgent and instructed the butler to inform him when Liu Shimei returned, so he could summon her to his study.

Little did he know, it would be several days later before he saw her!

“You insist on running a medical hall, but there’s no need to be completely absorbed in it,” Liu Fuyun said. He did not mind her opening a medical hall. In wealthy families, everyone needed to find a way to make a living. Relying solely on the court’s salary couldn’t sustain a large household, especially with so many servants. Starting a clinic and investing in others to run it was acceptable.

However, Liu Fuyun wasn’t entirely pleased with Liu Shimei personally attending to patients and putting herself at the forefront. “You are the future Princess Dun Yu, the future daughter-in-law of the royal family. It’s acceptable to have some business and money on hand. It’s necessary to have wealth for future arrangements. But being a female doctor, isn’t it too undignified?”

His tone was relatively mild, mainly because Liu Shimei had recently gained a good reputation. Her medical hall had become popular as she treated patients without any discrimination, which had won the people’s hearts. On the day of its opening, she had saved a patient on the verge of death, establishing her reputation as a skilled physician.

From Liu Fuyun’s perspective, if Princess Dun Yu could win the people’s hearts, it could be advantageous in the future when Liu Yan’er became the Crown Princess and, eventually, the Empress. These popular sentiments could be useful for her.

If she had money, she could manage relationships within and outside the palace, which would be beneficial. So Liu Fuyun’s attitude was relatively favorable. He thought, “This daughter has already gained a bad reputation anyway. If she can salvage some of it, it’s a good thing. If she can earn a lot of money and support her maternal family, that’s also appropriate.”

The ancestral home did not require her financial support, but when Liu Yan’er became the Crown Princess, there would be more expenses where money would be needed.

But his calculations were ringing in his mind; however, Liu Shimei was not falling for it!

She sneered and said, “If you have something to say, just say it. Let’s be straightforward with each other, no need for deceitful words!”

In other words: I know exactly what kind of person you are, no need to play roles in front of me!

Even with their faces torn apart, why pretend to be a loving father?

Liu Fuyun’s face stiffened, and he said, “You’ve become too arrogant; you can’t even talk to your father anymore!”

Liu Shimei remained silent, wearing an expression that said, “Go on, let’s see if I care about what you say.”

In fact, if Liu Fuyun didn’t get to the point soon, she was ready to leave!

Liu Fuyun wanted nothing more than to strangle her a thousand times, but he was helpless. He pushed the stack of documents on the table forward and said, “Take these and read them yourself.”

Liu Shimei raised her eyebrows in surprise, took a few steps forward, and flipped open the documents on the table.

As soon as she opened them, she exclaimed, “Are these all related to Elder Brother’s horseriding incident?”

“You’re not illiterate; can’t you read them yourself?” Liu Fuyun was in a foul mood.

How could he be in a good mood when dealing with this infuriating daughter?

Liu Shimei was not angered by his attitude. Her attention was fully captured by the documents. She asked, “Should I take these and read them?”

Liu Fuyun glared at her coldly and said, “Take them! These are all the materials gathered by the investigators related to that case. I’ve gone through them myself and didn’t find anything suspicious. Take them, read them yourself. If you find anything strange, then come and talk to me.”

Liu Shimei glanced at him, squinting her eyes, and asked, “Father’s intention wouldn’t be something like this, would it? You couldn’t find any issues, so you decided not to investigate and want me to do it instead?”
