Trouble Again

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After interacting with him for a long time, Liu Shimei no longer treated him as a fool. Perhaps she knew that his intelligence was not high, but she was still willing to talk to him nicely.

For example, some people knew that they would not get a response from the tree hole, but they still spoke to it.

This was because the tree hole would not understand the thoughts that you did not want others to see, nor would it tell others!

To Liu Shimei, it was precisely because Huangfu Lingyao was a ‘fool’ that she was willing to tell him everything regardless of whether he understood or not!

“Well, I…”

She curled her lips, her smile a little evil. “I might not be able to get back what 1 lost, but whoever took my things, even if they won’t return them to me, I will make sure that they will suffer for it!”

Huangfu Lingyao did not interrupt. He looked at the smile on her lips and listened quietly.

Liu Shimei’s smile turned cold as he continued, “1 won’t mess with them. When they let down their guard, I’ll give them a sharp warning!”

Huangfu Lingyao did not ask her what she was going to do. When he saw her confident smile, he knew that these blind people would definitely be in big trouble if they provoked Liu Shimei!

As expected, Liu Shimei did not move that night.

Regardless of whether it was Madam Zhang from the West Courtyard or Liu Yan’er from Lotus Courtyard, they all thought that Liu Shimei did not express anything and had silently suffered this loss.

Who would have thought that the Supreme Court would receive a complaint early the next morning?!

The complaint was written with great literary talent. She was indeed the number one talented woman in the Imperial Capital.

The eldest daughter of the Liu family had filed a lawsuit against her family for theft and had lost some valuable property.

The Capital governor had always been the one to handle the matter of the crows and dogs stealing. He would not directly report it to the Supreme Court. However, because Liu Shimei was the daughter of the Grand Chancellor’s Wife and also the future Princess Consort Dun Yu, the matter escalated!

What else could the Supreme Court official do when he received such a complaint? He could only order an official to personally lead people to the Grand Chancellor’s Residence. He braced himself and told the Superiors about the matter, requesting to search for evidence.

“What is it? 1 didn’t report a theft in my residence, so where did you come from?” The veins on Liu Fuyun’s forehead were about to pop out.

How could he not know that it was Liu Shimei’s doing?!

Yesterday, she kept saying that things had turned over a new leaf, and after a night, she actually wanted to cause trouble again!

This unfilial daughter, why not just drown her in a pig cage and sink her into a pond on the night of the last Lantern Festival?!

Lu Mou, a Deputy Head of the Supreme Court, was in his thirties. His age was similar to Liu Fuyun’s, but their official ranks were more than one step apart. To Lu Mou, Liu Fuyun was his superior.

Anyone who had worked on a case with Lu Mou knew that this person could do anything he wanted. However, when it came to handling cases, he had a terrible temper!

It was like a stone in a latrine pit, smelly and hard!

This was also the reason why Liu Shimei specifically asked Lu Mou to handle this case when she filed the complaint!

“Grand Chancellor, please forgive me. Since the Supreme Court has received such a complaint, regardless of whether it is true or not, this lowly official needs to investigate it carefully. If there is no such thing, I will apologize to you again!”

He was very respectful, but he could not refuse. “Grand Chancellor, please bring me to Lady Liu’s courtyard and investigate!”

It could be said that Liu Shimei’s move had caught the entire Grand Chancellor’s Residence off guard!

When she came back yesterday, she saw that her nanny was injured, the courtyard was in a mess, a hole was pried open in the storeroom window, and half of the property in the storeroom was lost… However, she swallowed his anger.

If Liu Fuyun knew about this, he would understand that the loss of these properties was just a drop in the bucket for her, because she had just extorted a large amount of property from him yesterday, and even a gold mine!

However, he did not know that this was happening. When he found out, it was in front of him — Lu Mou had already led his elites to the door!

When the Supreme Court was handling a case, even the Grand Chancellor could not stop them. Therefore, he had no choice but to lead Lu Mou’s men to Leihua Courtyard with a livid face.

At Leihua Courtyard, Liu Shimei returned to the Supreme Court after submitting her complaint. She had just returned to sit for a while when Liu Fuyun brought Lu Mou over.

Facing Liu Fuyun’s gaze that seemed like he wanted to kill her, she was indifferent..
