Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Those who could utter such words, if not the Silly Second Prince, then who else could it be?

However, Liang Yi, who always quarreled with Huangfu Lingyao upon sight due to their incompatible fates, surprisingly obeyed him this time. After delivering a few kicks, he inquired, “Sister, what do you plan to do?”

Liu Shimei replied coldly, “Send them to the Magistrate, and file a case!”

The reason for sending it to the Magistrate was that the incident on the day of the opening had already been documented with statements and evidence in the Magistrate’s office. Initially thought to be a civilian dispute, it had now escalated into a criminal matter!

When the case arrived at the Magistrate, he was drenched in cold sweat.

He dared not take on the case, but faced with the notorious Liang family, he had no choice but to accept it. He could only grit his teeth and go through with it, getting four men in black to sign and seal the documents, then sending the accused to prison.

If it were just a covert attack among peers, the Magistrate could handle it himself. However, this was an injury to the Emperor’s son and the murder of a future royal daughter-in-law!

This case…

A Magistrate couldn’t bear to handle it. Wiping his sweat, he assured Liang Wei, who was watching him like a hawk, that he would neatly compile the case files and submit them to the Grand Court. Since the injured party was King Dun Yu, even the Grand Court couldn’t shoulder the responsibility alone. They would certainly report it to the heavens.

But today, the day was already late, and it was impossible to process it now. They would have to handle it again on the second day.

With this assurance, the group dispersed and went their separate ways.

Huangfu Lingyao didn’t leave; he was injured and had been settled in the Liang family’s house by Liu Shimei to rest and recuperate.

Liu Shimei left the house, leaving only Lian Qiao and Lu Ying in the yard to take care of her silly puppy.

She had no choice but to leave, despite her concerns. As the person involved, she had to make this trip and couldn’t possibly bring the injured puppy along with her.

After they all left, Huangfu Lingyao pretended to be tired and sent Lian Qiao and Lu Ying away.

Soon after, the window moved silently, and a figure slipped in.

Li Xin knelt on one knee and said, “Master, are you alright?”

In theory, such minor injuries weren’t a big deal for his master, but this one was severe!

The crucial point was, he was stabbed on his own turf. That was just too ironic!

Huangfu Lingyao’s face was incredibly dark. “Where were you when it happened?”

A fight had broken out here, and it had lasted for quite some time. Li Xin hadn’t brought anyone to handle the situation. If he didn’t hold Li Xin responsible, then whose fault was it?

If he hadn’t protected her so well, and if Mu Jiangli hadn’t happened to pass by, his wife would have been in danger. How could he not be furious?

Zhong Lang belonged to his wife; he couldn’t touch him even though he had abandoned his post. But Li Xin was his own man!

Li Xin knew he had failed in his duty; he looked ashamed and said, “Incidents like this often occur in places like the Yong’an Inn. I didn’t pay attention at first. I thought the lords were discussing matters inside, so I took that time to instruct our people. When I heard there was trouble here and hurried over, it was already when Young Master Mu appeared. To avoid exposure, I didn’t dare to come out.”

In other words, by the time he rushed over upon hearing about the incident, it was too late.

What could he do? For the sake of arranging this elaborate scheme to deliver a message to his master, and fearing that his subordinates might neglect any details, he had so many things he had to do personally.

Moreover, he also knew that there was a skilled expert like Zhong Lang protecting Liu Shimei. No one had expected Zhong Lang to neglect his duty at a time like this!

Huangfu Lingyao snorted coldly.. “What do you think should be done, then?”
