Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Liu Shimei sighed and said, “How can I let you bear my fault?”

She smiled faintly and said,” It’s good that you have this intention. I won’t resist what I should suffer. This was how things were in this world. Good was rewarded with good and evil with evil. It was not that the time had not come for retribution! If one is wrong, one should be punished. Be good and don’t cause trouble for me, okay?”

She sounded like he was coaxing a child.

While they were concerned about each other, Liu Fuyun had not expected Liu Shimei to do something like this!

The sudden turn of events caught him off guard!

However, he was the Grand Chancellor of a dynasty after all. He only needed to go through the motions in his mind to know that Liu Shimei was trying to suppress him!

Of course, he would not believe a single word of what she said about admitting that she was wrong!

She was the one who had caused the situation to escalate to this point. Would she still feel that she was in the wrong and be willing to bear the consequences?

No!

She deliberately made this matter known to everyone and used public opinion to force the case to be publicly heard. Then, when the trial ended and Madam Zhang could be convicted, she pretended to kneel down and admit her mistake, requesting to withdraw the lawsuit!

He had to admit that she played a good game of chess!

He was afraid that the night she returned to the Grand Chancellor’s residence and discovered that the Leihua Garden had been robbed, she had started to plan, and each move counted, all the way till today, right?

Step by step, what a good plan!

He did not know that his daughter was so capable!

If such a scheming person became the Crown Princess, she would definitely bring prosperity to the Liu family when she was conferred the title of Empress! However, such a good chess piece was actually destroyed by Liu Yan’er, that trash with a small scale!

What could Liu Yan’er do?

She was actually so stupid as to steal something to vent her anger. It was such a small thing. No wonder she could not even win against Liu Shimei!

However, now that things had come to this, there was nothing he could do. Liu Shimei had already completely left him. If he wanted to stop his losses, he could only accompany her through this game of chess!

Thinking of this, Liu Fuyun also stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting to Wang Lan in the hall. He said, “This official is ashamed that a family matter has been brought to the Supreme Court. It was caused by Liu Jun’s lax management of the family. This matter should not be borne by my daughter. All the blame will be borne by me! If Shimei is determined to withdraw the lawsuit, 1 am willing to bear 30 strokes of the cane for her. I beg Lord Wang to allow Liu Jun to bring his wife and daughter back to the residence to discipline them!”

With that, he bowed to the ground.

Once the Grand Chancellor gave her such a big bow, Wang Lan had no choice but to stand up and return the bow. He said, “Does the Grand Chancellor really want to do this?”

If he could not see through the current situation, then he would have wasted his years as a Chief Justice of the Supreme Court!

This pair of father and daughter were really high-level!

However, Wang Lan was also in a difficult position just now. It was not a big deal that the Silly Second Prince in front of him would cause a ruckus. What he was afraid of was the group of troublemakers from the Liang family!

The Supreme Court was fair and strict. It was not that he did not dare to punish them, but it would be difficult for him to explain to his Sister Wang if he went back after the punishment!

If things went wrong, the Wang family might not want to have any dealings with him for the next ten years!

And Liu Fuyun was going to take the place of the 30 strokes of the cane. If he really sentenced this first-rate court official to the caning, he would also need to watch his back later!

After thinking about it, he was in such a difficult position because of Liu Shimei!

Liu Fuyun said, “Lord Wang, you don’t have to worry too much. Shimei is my Eldest Daughter. She has the consciousness to admit her mistake and be punished. How can Liu Jun be an unreasonable person? Lord Wang, please be magnanimous and allow Liu Jun to turn this matter into a small matter. Turn the public case into a family matter and go home to deal with it!”

“Liu Shimei, what do you think?” Wang Lan asked.

Liu Shimei was still kneeling on the ground. He looked up at Liu Fuyun, then at Wang Lan, and said, “Father is so righteous that I admire you. However, how could I let Father accept it on my behalf?”

Liu Fuyun snorted. “Liu Shimei, I’m your father. Since I’ve said that 1’11 take the blame, how can I allow you to refute me?!”

The matter was already set in stone..
