Liu s.h.i.+mei crossed the threshold and entered the flower hall, observing the four women inside, their faces all darkened. She felt a sense of satisfaction deep within her.

She couldn’t help but think to herself, ‘Well, I’ve certainly a.s.serted my authority!’

“s.h.i.+mei, how dare you speak like that?”

Madam Zhang, seeing her eldest daughter-in-law’s displeasure, adopted a stern expression and scolded Liu s.h.i.+mei. However, she had forgotten that the present Liu s.h.i.+mei was not someone who could tolerate being scolded.

Liu s.h.i.+mei tilted her head, saying, “Madam Zhang, your words are quite strange. Did I say something wrong? Am I not the designated Princess of Dun Yu? Hasn’t Cousin Wan’er long been betrothed to her fiance? Isn’t that a prearranged marriage?”

Madam Zhang was suddenly rendered speechless.

“Liu s.h.i.+mei! What does it have to do with you whether I agree to the engagement or not?” Wan’er, infuriated, stood up suddenly, shrieking, “Mind your own business! You’ve married a fool, and you think you’ve found a treasure, don’t you?”

She kept calling him a ‘fool, fool, fool’… Liu s.h.i.+mei’s eyes turned cold. Her lips curved down, and she retorted, “The fiance you’ve agreed to marry is just a young gentleman from the household of the Minister of Personnel, indeed having nothing to do with me. But, Cousin Wan’er, who my fiance is, doesn’t seem to concern you either, does it? The things you were talking about just now, weren’t those meddling in someone else’s business?”

No matter how you looked at it, Zhang Wan’er had indeed said a lot of insulting words to Liu s.h.i.+mei. Even if Liu Yan’er wanted to help her, she couldn’t. No, it’s not that she didn’t want to help, but she didn’t dare to!

After all, she didn’t want to offend Liu s.h.i.+mei in the slightest now!

In case Liu s.h.i.+mei caused trouble, it might really strip her of the crown princess position. The incident with Yu Wanqing was still fresh in her memory – it was a lesson from the past!

Moreover, her parents had warned her repeatedly not to provoke Liu s.h.i.+mei, so she had no choice but to suppress her dissatisfaction for the time being.

Of course, once she became the crown princess, everything would be different!

When Liu s.h.i.+mei retorted so sharply, Madam Zhang recalled the warnings that Liu Fuyun had given her multiple times about Liu s.h.i.+mei’s powerful connections. She cleared her throat and said, “s.h.i.+mei, it has been a long time since Wan’er and you met. It’s natural for her to have some misunderstandings. s.h.i.+mei, please forgive her.”

Zhang Wan’er looked at her incredulously and asked, “Aunt, I spoke the truth. Why do I need her forgiveness?”

Her mother, Madam Wei, frowned and said, “Wan’er, you can’t be too aggressive when the Eldest Young Miss is so a.s.sertive.”

Liu s.h.i.+mei snorted.

Women from humble families really had no foresight!

They only cared about the present, without thinking about how they would fare in the future!

No worries, she would teach them how to behave!

She looked at Madam Zhang and said, “Madam Zhang, when mediating, one should be impartial. I believe you have learned this lesson quite well.”

Exaggerating a sigh, she added with a regretful tone, “I hope Madam Zhang understands the gravity of the situation. If I’m provoked, I might have to go back and tell my father… I might reconsider the agreement we made!”

Madam Zhang clenched her teeth!

How could she forget that lesson?

How could she not know that Liu s.h.i.+mei was as unmanageable as a hedgehog?

How could she not know that the Grand Chancellor had repeatedly instructed her to be respectful and keep her distance from Liu s.h.i.+mei?

In the end, she forced herself to say, her teeth almost grinding to powder, “Enough, enough. Young ladies arguing among themselves, let them argue. Let them resolve their own fights. We, as elders, should act like elders.”

Liu s.h.i.+mei’s lips curved into a smile, and she glanced at Zhang Wan’er before saying, “Now that I’ve met everyone, I’ll take my leave!”

She turned to leave.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Qingxi grabbed her arm and said, “Cousin s.h.i.+mei, please don’t leave yet!”
