“It’s Anhe.”

Liu Shimei’s lips curled up, but she did not stand up. Instead, she waved the fan in her hand and greeted him.

Under the night sky, only half of her face was exposed, and the other half was in the shadows. Coupled with her nonchalant expression, she was beautiful, but also a little cold.

“Isn’t the banquet not over yet?” she asked. “Why are you back?”

After Liu Anhe finished bowing, he stood up straight and replied respectfully, “I wasn’t feeling well, so 1 didn’t go to the Spring Autumn Hall.”

Liu Shimei searched through her memories about her half-brother. In his memories, Liu Anhe had always been a gentle and indifferent person who did not like to be in the limelight.

The son of the Grand Chancellor, Liu Quan, was a person who was skilled in both civil and martial arts, while the little brother, Liu Anhe, only studied literature and did not practice martial arts. He studied hard, but his talent was slightly lacking.

She did not know how much he knew about his mother and sister, but the men and women of the Liu family were raised separately. He was not tainted with the petty temperament of Madam Zhang and Liu Yan’er.

The young man’s stature was considered alright. He had yet to mature and appeared somewhat childish.

Liu Anhe glanced at the house behind him and asked, “Big Sister is accompanying King Dun Yu back? Fortunately, only King Dun Yu and 1 are staying in the Cold Fragrance Waterside Pavilion, so I’m not afraid of damaging your reputation.”

“Didn’t my reputation be tarnished long ago?” Liu Shimei did not hesitate.

How could Liu Anhe not know what had happened at home recently? He pursed his lips and lowered his head. “1 am very sorry for what Mother and Second Sister did to you, Eldest Sister.”

“What are you sorry for?” Liu Shimei’s lips curled up. “Did they discuss it with you when they wanted to harm me?”

Liu Anhe hurriedly raised his head and said, “No!”

After saying that, he felt that it was a little rude to speak so loudly, so he lowered his voice and said, “If I knew that Second Sister wanted to harm you, 1 would have stopped her long ago. However…There’s something I’m really sorry about.”

He looked guilty and lowered his head again. “I heard that Second Older Sister wanted to go to your storeroom to steal. 1 also stopped her, but she was unwilling to listen to me. 1… I’m sorry that 1 didn’t inform you, Big Sister.”

He had only said a few words, but he already had three apologies.

Mo’er’s face was filled with anger. When she saw Liu Anhe, she felt that he was jackals of the same feather as Madam Zhang and the others. She said coldly, “Second Young Master, it’s easy for you to say that! You’re sorry, but is it useful? Even if you didn’t know about the dirty things that Madam Zhang and Second Miss did, why didn’t you put justice above family and speak up for our Eldest Miss afterward?”

“Stop pretending!” she snorted.

Liu Anhe’s eyes were filled with displeasure after being reprimanded by a girl. However, Mo’er’s words were indeed reasonable, so he could not refute her. He could only look at Liu Shimei and say, “Originally, 1 thought that Father loved Eldest Sister and would make a decision. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this…”

Mo’er’s words did hurt. He thought about it and said, “Forget it. It’s already happened. It’s useless to say anything.”

“What about the future?” Mo’er said.

Liu Anhe pursed his lips. After all, he was a young master nurtured by a sour civil official. How could he allow a girl to be presumptuous in front of him? “Mo’er, a Master is speaking. Who are you to interrupt?”

Mo’er was speechless.

She could not argue, so she looked at her Eldest Miss.

Liu Shimei turned around and met Liu Anhe’s gaze..
