Chapter 72: Wife Is Doing What She Likes

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In this era, although strawberries were cultivated in greenhouses, there were no chemicals to ripen them, nor were there any fertilizers. They were all artificially dewormed, so the yield was definitely very small. They were not big, but they were very sweet.

After Liu Shimei washed his hands, he took a plate and filled it with half of the food before handing it to Mo’er. “Send it to my grandfather.”

After all, there was not much. There were too many relatives at home, so she could not give it to everyone. She could only send it to Liang Wei and let the elders give it to whoever they wanted.

This was an extremely smart move.

“Alright, I’ll go now.” Mo’er took it and smiled.

While the master and servant were conversing, Huangfu Lingyao was sitting at the round table, his hands on the table supporting his handsome face. His gaze fell on Liu Shimei, and he did not take his eyes off her.

However, there was not the slightest bit of foolishness on his face.

…..

However, when Mo’er turned around to leave and Liu Shimei turned around, his face was immediately filled with a silly smile. “Wife, there’s not much left. Eat quickly! I don’t know if it’s good after half a day!”

Liu Shimei smiled and sat down. He picked up a red strawberry and peeled the green leaves on it. “You’ve painstakingly snatched the strawberries from the Empress, but I’m giving it to my Grandpa. Won’t you be unhappy?”

This question seemed unintentional, but it was actually a probing question.

Most of the time, Huangfu Lingyao was a completely silly dog. However, Liu Shimei would occasionally have a feeling that he could be very silly, but when he should be smart, he was not at all careless.

Therefore, she would occasionally test him.

However, Huangfu Lingyao did not seem to hear it at all and said matter-of-factly, “Since your Ninth Brother is my Ninth Brother, your Grandpa must be my Grandpa too! Shouldn’t we show filial piety to Grandpa? It’s just that there are too many aunts. I can give it to First Aunt, but I can’t give it to Second Aunt… Then I have no choice.”

Liu Shimei put the strawberry into his mouth and asked with a smile, “Have you never tasted any of them?”

The silly dog’s mouth was stuffed with food and he could not speak. He could only shake his head and finish it in a few bites before saying, “I heard that you have to eat it quickly, or it will go bad, so I came quickly. But you weren’t around, so I waited for a long time.”

Towards the end of his sentence, his face revealed an aggrieved expression.

He was silly and cute, and did not feel out of place at all.

Liu Shimei shook her head and thought, ‘Why do I suspect that he is pretending? He’s already so old. No matter how much he pretended, he can’t possibly be this good at acting, right? I shouldn’t suspect him.’

She stretched out her hand again, wanting to feed him the strawberry in her hand, but the silly dog looked back and refused to take it. He said, “Wife, this is for you. I’m not eating anymore.”

“Hey!” Liu Shimei sighed.

This silly dog, how could she not want to treat him well?

She smiled. “I might not be at home during the day in the future. If you want to look for me, don’t come over during the day.”

“Then where are you going? Are you going back to the Grand Chancellor’s Residence?” Huangfu Lingyao widened his eyes and said, “Don’t go back there! They don’t treat you well!”

Liu Shimei placed the strawberry in her hand into her mouth and took a bite before saying, “I found a job in a medical hall. I have to work during the day and will only come back at dinner time.”

Huangfu Lingyao was surprised and asked in confusion, “What? What do you mean by finding a job?”

Liu Shimei felt that it would be difficult to explain to a five or six-year-old child why she had to work, so she simply went over it and said, “You don’t have to care why I’m looking for a job. I like this job very much, so I have to do it, understand?”

“Oh!” Her explanation was perfect. The silly dog immediately understood. “My wife is doing something she likes!”

“Then can I go and find you?”

Liu Shimei shook her head. “When I do work, it’s not like what you see now. I don’t have time to play with you, so you should be more obedient during the day. If you want to see me, come to the Liang family during dinner.”

“Yes.” Huangfu Lingyao obediently agreed, even though he looked regretful.

However, his gaze was fixed on Liu Shimei’s face. His gaze fell on her red lips that had red juice left on them after eating a strawberry..
