Chapter 453: Patience Was Key

Huangfu Lingyao had intentionally brought up the matter, knowing well she wouldn’t agree. This time, he took advantage of the situation and said, “Alright then.”

But soon after, he added, “I’ll come to the Grand Chancellor’s Residence tomorrow morning to escort you to Fusheng Pavilion!”

“Sure.” Liu Shimei nodded in agreement.

Although he bored her to death by hanging around, oddly, she felt worried when he wasn’t by her side.

Even though she knew rationally he had been foolish for all these years and nothing significant had happened, hadn’t he frequently been beaten up in the past?

She really did not want to see any traces of violence on him anymore!

Huangfu Lingyao smiled, saying, “Wife is truly wonderful!”

Isn’t this great?

As long as his requests were reasonable and did not cross her boundaries, she generally wouldn’t refuse.

Sometimes, he even let his mind wander, like thinking about kissing. If he pushed a bit, she wouldn’t refuse in the end. So… if he wanted to go further, to the bed, would she still resist completely?

In that regard, as long as the woman’s refusal wasn’t absolute, men were easily victorious!

Of course, he only dared to think about such things.

No matter how desperately he craved, he had to hold back until after their wedding. Their beginning had not been too auspicious; he had schemed and tarnished her reputation. He could not burden her with the name of a promiscuous woman.

Patience was key; having someone he wanted to cherish, even if the blade was at his throat, he had to endure!

Inside the consultation room, Huangfu Lingyao asked again, “Wife, you really let those three people stay at Fusheng Pavilion?”

His face was full of confusion.

Liu Shimei led him to wash his hands and replied, “Yes, I let them stay.”

“Aren’t you afraid they’ll seek revenge?” Huangfu Lingyao sneered.

Liu Shimei smiled faintly, saying, “They still have their uses.”

She did not explain further.

But she did not need to; Huangfu Lingyao understood.

Today’s charity was designed by Liu Shimei specifically.

Firstly, it was to publicize her medical skills—to let everyone know: the patient everyone believed was beyond saving, I cured him! I didn’t just heal his leprosy but also his liver disease that had him knocking on death’s door!

Secondly, it was to create a good reputation for herself in the medical field. She did not fear dirt and grime, risking infection herself, she saved a life. But in doing so, she contracted leprosy and had to isolate herself for so many days, leaving scars on her face, ruining her beauty!

Finally, it was to lure the snake out of its hole!

Guided by Huangfu Lingyao’s deliberate direction, Liang Yi conducted a careful investigation and finally found evidence on Jin Xi.

Finding Jin Xi meant finding Du Gong.

Since Du Gong intended to harm her, and now that she knew Liang Yi had evidence against her, even submitted to the authorities, she was bound to panic.

Liu Shimei knew this was orchestrated by Du Gong, even suspecting Zheng Medical Hall’s involvement, but she did not act rashly. Instead, she set up a trap, waiting for the other party to fall into it!

Given the current state of Fusheng Pavilion, which had just started, it was unwise to make enemies with Zheng Medical Hall directly.

So confronting them directly was out of the question. She had to find a way to ruin Du Gong’s reputation, to make him dig his own grave!

Huangfu Lingyao admired her greatly as he thought, ‘My wife, you truly handle things with wisdom and grace!’

However, he pretended not to understand, looking foolish yet filled with unquestioning trust in her. “Alright then! Wife, I will help you keep an eye on them!”

Liu Shimei chuckled and said, “There’s no need for you to watch them. These three people, even if I wanted to drive them away, they wouldn’t leave.”

Afuk had reclaimed his life, and San Yuan and Si Xi had finally escaped the fate of odd jobs. How could they possibly leave now?

Huangfu Lingyao nodded and asked, “So, Wife, how do you plan to deal with those villains?”
