“Eldest Young Miss! Eldest Young Miss!” Mo’er burst into the room, excitement written all over her face. “Do you want to hear the latest developments?”

Earlier, when her master had fallen asleep, with Changge attending to her, Mo’er had sneaked into the hall to gather some gossip.

She knew everything that had happened at Lotus Courtyard like the back of her hand.

However, Liu Shimei lazily yawned, showing no interest at all. “The latest developments are simply this: Zhang Qingxi went to Lotus Courtyard, sneaked into Liu Yan’er’s room, and had his way with her. Liu Yan’er couldn’t escape because of her injured legs, and the other servants were all muddled due to my medicine. Even if Liu Yan’er screamed her lungs out in her room, nobody would come to her rescue.”

Mo’er widened her eyes. “Eldest Young Miss, you’re so heartless! Can’t you let me finish my story?”

Liu Shimei felt despair in her heart. “Go ahead, but what’s the point of listening to what I’ve heard through the walls all afternoon?”

But thinking about it, it made sense. Her master had prepared the medicine herself; how could she not know what effects it would have?

“Fine, tell me about their reactions then,” Liu Shimei said as she sat down at the vanity, preparing to comb her hair.

Mo’er hurried over to help her comb her hair, her eyes shining with excitement. “Their reactions were huge! I watched for a long time over there, until Miss Liu Yan’er stopped screaming like a slaughtered pig. I secretly prompted one of the household servants to find Master Grand Chancellor and catch them in the act! When Master Grand Chancellor arrived, that young master from the Zhang family was still fooling around in the room!”

“Oh?” Liu Shimei glanced at her through the mirror, praising her. “Well done!”

Changge stood by with her sword, unable to hold back her laughter. “Mo’er is really sharp-witted.”

Originally, she had been dissatisfied with being a maid and protector for a mistress. But when she met Liu Shimei for the first time, it dispelled her impression of weak and timid noble ladies.

Although she looked delicate and scholarly, there was nothing out of place about Liu Shimei among the Liang family members!

The events of this afternoon made her understand what it meant to have everything vanish like smoke in the wind, all within a casual conversation.

Her admiration for Liu Shimei was genuine and heartfelt.

‘Just as the master, so is the maid,’ she thought. Even Mo’er was a clever one!

Mo’er grinned and said, “Ah, Changge, you don’t know. I’ve been waiting for Eldest Young Miss to deal with Second Young Miss for a long time. It’s just that Eldest Young Miss kept saying she had no time for such trash. She said she’d deal with it properly when the opportunity came knocking. Well, now is a perfect opportunity!”

Liu Shimei smiled and replied, “Just wait, we still have a tough battle ahead.”

She glanced at herself in the mirror and said to Changge, “Changge, go and ask Nanny Li to visit Constable Li’s house in the east of the city. Tell Madam Li to reschedule the appointment a bit later. I will be delayed by half an hour.”

“Yes,” Changge nodded.

Mo’er teased, “Half an hour, is that enough time for the cleanup?”

“Whether it’s enough or not, all I can give them is half an hour. Let’s consider it front-row seats to the show,” Liu Shimei thought to herself. Til just view it as stealing some leisure amidst my busy schedule, watching a movie.’

As expected, the events at Lotus Courtyard were disastrous. Soon, a maid came over, saying, “Eldest Young Miss, Lord Grand Chancellor asks you to go to Lotus Courtyard to treat Second Young Miss!”

“Treat?” Mo’er had finished adorning Liu Shimei with pearl flowers, and her hair was neatly combed.

She coldly snorted, “Why should Eldest Young Miss go and treat her?”

Liu Shimei chuckled lightly, “Of course, I have to go. How else am I going to enjoy the show?”

She stood up and said, “Call Changge as well.. Let’s go and see the results of our handiwork!”
