Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Huangfu Lingyao had thought all night, and finally came up with a way to meet his wife. Wasn’t it for the sake of her gentleness like this?
Now that his wish had come true, he felt like every pore in his body had opened up in comfort.
He gazed at her with bright eyes and said, “Wife, I’m here to accompany you through the night.”
Liu Shimei tidied him up, looked down at him, and said, “You’ve come all the way here. Do you think I can force you to crawl through the dog hole again?”
In other words, she had agreed to let him stay.
“Wife, you’re so good to me!” Huangfu Lingyao’s words came straight from the heart.
It had to be said that, growing up, even his own mother did not pamper him like Liu Shimei did. Within her boundaries, he could do anything!
In the whole world, the person who was kindest to him was none other than Liu Shimei!
After Liu Shimei finished arranging her silly dog, she went to light an incense stick and said, “Since you’re already here, come and offer incense to my mother and older brother.”
The fiance granted by the imperial decree could not escape. Even during the day, they went to pay respects at the ancestral graves, so offering incense to the spirits was a small matter.
Huangfu Lingyao glanced at the neatly arranged ancestral tablets of the Liu family. Liu Shimei’s biological mother, Lady Ruyi, was placed at the top side, while Liu Quan, who had passed away early, had a relatively distant position.
His eyes flashed, and he looked at Liu Shimei, who had brought over a cushion for him to perform the ritual. He felt a pang of heartache for her.
Such a good girl was truly suffering in the Liu family!
He could not wait for the days to pass quickly so he could marry her and take good care of her in the future!
“Come.” Liu Shimei raised her head, noticing that silly dog had been staring at her with a serene gaze. She could not help but touch her face and ask, “What’s wrong, is my face dirty?”
Huangfu Lingyao looked at her face. It had originally been fair as snow, but now, due to her action, it had a touch of red.
It was because of the red incense. The dye had transferred to her face when she wiped it just now. Despite the slight blemish, in the bright candlelight of the ancestral hall, the red incense residue actually made her snowy skin look even more enchanting.
Action speaks louder than words!
He smiled and touched her face, saying, “There’s incense ash!”
Gently, he wiped the dirt off her face and, suddenly and without warning, placed a kiss on it.
Liu Shimei was stunned by his audacity, quickly glanced at the ancestral tablets of their ancestors, and then scolded him in a low voice, “Lingyao, this is a shrine; you must behave respectfully!”
“Oh, can we do it later when we’re not in the memorial hall?” Huangfu Lingyao asked casually.
Liu Shimei frowned. His logic was perfect, but it did not seem so wonderful when applied to her.
She did not say anything, just glared at him.
“Okay, okay, I won’t say anything.” Huangfu Lingyao stole a little advantage, but of course, he knew when to stop. He took the incense that was burning in her hand and knelt obediently on the mat, bowing to the tablets of her future mother-in-law and elder brother.
If she wanted him to be solemn, he would be. He did not have any reservations about bowing to her mother and brother, even though he was a prince.
Seeing him so well-behaved, Liu Shimei’s expression softened. She pulled him up and said, “We’ll be keeping vigil until dawn. Are you hungry? Mo’er has prepared some snacks. Would you like some?”
“I’m not hungry.” Huangfu Lingyao walked over to the coffee table, where he saw not only snacks and tea but also writing materials.
Her hairpin calligraphy was exquisite, a pleasure to behold.
He casually glanced at the materials and realized it was the business plan for Fusheng Pavilion. He gave it a cursory look and then sat down in the grandmaster’s chair, asking, “When are you opening your medical hall, Wife?”
Of course, the opening date was not the main point; the real focus was yet to
come!
