Chapter 507: They Protect Her Too Well

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Next, Liu Shimei discussed the whereabouts of several other servants mentioned in the document with Liang Yi. There didn’t seem to be any suspicious points, but they still needed to investigate each one individually. Perhaps the least likely person could turn out to be the one with a problem?

They couldn’t afford to overlook anyone!

As they chatted and drank, they lost track of time. After two cups of tea, Liu Shimei needed to use the restroom.

Naturally, Huangfu Lingyao stood up with her, saying, “Wife, I’ll accompany you!”

Liang Yi chuckled, “It’s just a restroom, and you want to come too?”

“You don’t understand!” Huangfu Lingyao glared at him. “There are so many people in this inn, and Wife is so beautiful. What if someone kidnaps her? You’ll have to compensate me then!”

Liang Yi suddenly realized, “That makes sense.”

Although the reason sounded funny, it was indeed true.

Yong’an Inn was too chaotic, a den of iniquity. No one knew what might happen there. Liu Shimei was a weak woman without any means to protect herself, and she was also exceptionally attractive. If something happened, what would they do?

Reluctantly, he glared at the silly Second Prince and said, “Fine, you’re right this time!”

A man who could be flexible and compromising!

The Silly Second Prince was not satisfied. “What do you mean, right? I was right from the beginning!”

Liang Yi waved her hand. “Sister needs to use the restroom. Why are you arguing with me? Go quickly and come back soon! Once we finish discussing things, I’ll go find someone to investigate the rest. We can’t entirely rely on the results from the Pavilion of Six Paths and Eight Directions.”

Although news from Pavilion of Six Paths and Eight Directions might be verified before being sold, given their unfamiliarity, who really knew?

Seeing his skepticism, Huangfu Lingyao subtly raised an eyebrow and took Liu Shimei’s hand, leading her outside.

Liu Shimei needed to use the restroom, so Huangfu Lingyao had to wait outside.

Before going in, she smiled, took a dried flower from her purse, and handed it to him, saying, “Smell this; it won’t be so bad.”

Huangfu Lingyao’s eyes lit up. He quickly stuffed the dried flower into his nostrils and laughed, “This is jasmine!”

“Yeah,” Liu Shimei indulged in a smile and turned to enter.

It was just a quick restroom break; she came out after a while.

There were hidden spots behind the Yong’an Inn, so there were several restrooms. The one they used was on the inn’s side, adjacent to the dining area.

When Liu Shimei came out and saw her loyal puppy waiting patiently for her, her heart softened. She walked over, grabbed his hand, and said, “Actually, I could have managed alone.”

They always thought she was weak, and indeed she wasn’t strong physically, being a scholar. But how could they forget, she was skilled in poison!

In the end, she was a disciple of the Ghost Doctor Qi Yang, a master of poison. Surprisingly, she rarely had the chance to showcase her poison skills. It had to be said, they protected her too well!

“I have nothing else to do anyway. I want to accompany Wife.” Huangfu Lingyao clung to her, thinking, “You’re always afraid I’ll lose you if I’m not holding your hand. Aren’t I afraid too?”

With such a wonderful wife, he might cry himself to death if he lost her!

Liu Shimei chuckled softly and said, “Sure, let’s go find Ninth Brother. We don’t have any other plans for the evening. It’s been a while since I visited Grandpa. How about I take you to the Liang family for dinner?”

“Sounds great!” Huangfu Lingyao readily agreed. He wouldn’t refuse any opportunity to be with his wife.

As they chatted, they walked through the courtyard.

Suddenly, a white light pierced directly towards Liu Shimei’s chest!
