Chapter 516: Second Aunt, Are You Sure Ninth Brother Is Your Biological Child?

When it came to her own dog, Liu Shimei pressed her lips together and said, “Although Lingyao may not have any martial skills, every time there was a life-or-death situation, he instinctively protected me. He never cared about his own safety. Even if he got hurt, he wouldn’t complain. I was scared for him, but he comforted me, saying it was nothing.”

She was unscathed thanks to his protection, but he was not as fortunate. Besides being wounded in his palm from grabbing the sword, he had some other minor injuries on his body that she hadn’t had the chance to examine yet.

Hearing her words, everyone felt a pang of sorrow.

Liang Wei nodded and said, “This kid isn’t bad at all. Your affection for him is well-placed!”

Liu Shimei,”…”

Even her grandfather could tell she cherished the foolish young man like a son?

Knowing that Liu Shimei was fine, Liang Sheng finally felt relieved and asked, “What exactly happened?”

Liang Wei sighed and said, “The taller the tree stands, the stronger the wind blows against it. Shimei is quite talented, so it’s inevitable that she attracts envy. From now on, she must be more careful.”

Liang Yi, on the other hand, focused her attention on Zhong Lang. “Sister, if it weren’t for Zhong Lang leaving without permission, you wouldn’t have been in danger!”

She knew the inn was chaotic, but if Zhong Lang had informed them before leaving, she wouldn’t have allowed Liu Shimei and the Silly Second Prince to go to the restroom alone. He should have followed them.

But Zhong Lang had neglected his duties for his own affairs!

People in the martial world might be powerful, but their unpredictable nature made them unreliable!

Liang Wei shot Liang Yi a stern look, his gaze filled with anger. “It’s all your rotten idea! If we had hired a guard who knew the ropes to protect Shimei, would this have happened?”

Liang Sheng added, “Yeah, we’ve been searching for a female guard all along, but then you said someone like Zhong Lang, a martial arts expert, would suffice. In my opinion, that wasn’t enough.”

After receiving a scolding, Liang Yi lowered his head, not daring to speak. When it came to their family patriarch’s reprimands, not only the one in trouble but also others dared not intercede.

Only Liu Shimei had the courage to stand up for Liang Yi. “Grandfather, you can’t blame Ninth Brother for this.”

As the one favored by her brother, she couldn’t let him take all the blame!

She paused and continued, “If anyone’s to blame, it’s not Zhong Lang’s fault either.”

“What? Are you going to defend Zhong Lang too?” Liang Yi’s eyes widened.

Others also looked skeptical.

Liu Shimei furrowed her brows and said, “Zhong Lang and I have a business relationship. I know how to handle this. I’ll talk to him and figure out how to resolve this situation and prevent future incidents. That’s between him and me.”

Liang Wei disagreed but didn’t want to force his will on Liu Shimei. He said, “Shimei, Grandfather will still find a female guard to accompany you closely.”

“A female guard is fine,” Liu Shimei accepted their goodwill but had her own thoughts. “But as for Zhong Lang, I’ll make my own decisions.”

“Alright, if you insist, Grandfather can’t do anything about it,” Liang Wei sighed. He continued, “Today, thanks to King Dun Yu guarding you. Despite his foolish demeanor, he cares about you. I can reluctantly accept him as my grandson-in-law now.”

It was clear that although he had previously accepted it, it had been out of necessity.

His true acceptance came from this incident..
