When Huangfu Lingyao entered Liu Shimei’s consultation room, he happened to overhear the attendants talking, “People come and go; he left from the back door, and no one knows where he went.”
Mo’er added, “Eldest Young Miss, you don’t need to worry! When you weren’t here to look after him before, the Prince used to roam around the Imperial Capital every day. Apart from a few fights and bullying incidents, he still grew up just fine, didn’t he?”
She almost said: You’re like a mother, always treating him like a baby, even though he’s 20 years old!
Liu Shimei replied firmly, “I am worried that he might be bullied, that’s all.”
“Rest assured, Eldest Young Miss!” Mo’er said exasperatedly, “The present King Dun Yu is not the same as the old one! Thanks to your excellent guidance, he’s tough now! Anyone trying to bully him won’t have an easy time!”
Indeed, since Liu Shimei had instilled the idea of ‘fight back if someone bullies you’ into the Silly Second Prince, he no longer acted timidly. Knowing he would retaliate, people naturally bothered him less.
“Enough, enough.” Liu Shimei waved her hand, saying, “You can leave now. If he doesn’t come back soon, send someone out to find him.”
Even though dogs usually find their way home, she wasn’t that confident. He clung to her so much; he wouldn’t stay away for long. If he didn’t return for a while, something was probably wrong.
Mo’er walked out of the consultation room and saw Huangfu Lingyao standing outside. She sighed in relief and said, “Oh, Your Highness, why do you wander so carelessly? Miss was so worried about you!”
Huangfu Lingyao, aware of his wife’s deep concern, felt extremely content. He explained, “I was just bored, so I went to buy some interesting things, including the crispy rice cakes you like!”
“Lingyao came back?” The sound from outside reached her ears, and she walked out.
Huangfu Lingyao hurried towards her, a smile on his face. He handed her a bag of roasted rice crisps eagerly, saying, “Wife, try these quickly. I waited for a long time just to buy these crisps!”
Liu Shimei took the crisps wrapped in oil paper and glanced at him with a smile. She noticed a small windmill stuck in his hair bun.
She couldn’t reach it, so she gestured to him, “Bow your head.”
The obedient puppy immediately lowered its head. Liu Shimei reached out, took the small windmill off, and asked, “Why did you put this in your hair?”
“Oh, I needed my hands free to carry something else,” he explained. Since he had already given her the crisps, he had a hand free to take the windmill. He continued, “Wife, take this back and let Big Cat play with it! Big Cat really likes these things!”
Liu Shimei,”…”
Mo’er’s lips twitched.
Damn it, why would a fierce tiger like to play with a small windmill? It would just claw it apart!
But she didn’t dare say anything. She would be warned by the Eldest Young Miss’s cold gaze. So, she stuck out her tongue, turned around, and said, “Eldest Young Miss, I’ll go get a plate to serve these snacks!”
Liu Shimei called Huangfu Lingyao into the house, had him put the things on the table, and poured him a cup of tea. “The sun outside is getting stronger. Don’t go out too much if you don’t need to.”
“Okay..” Huangfu Lingyao nodded obediently, thinking in his heart, ‘How can I subtly tell my wife what I know without her realizing it?’
