Chapter 22
“Ah!” Nanny Li’s eyes lit up. “With this amount of dowry, it will only fill two or three carriages at most. The Grand Chancellor can’t afford to lose face like this! I’ll go get the carriages ready!”
Nanny Li had just gone out to call for a carriage when she suddenly came back again. “Young Miss, King Dun Yu is here!”
As soon as she finished speaking, a crisp voice with a strong penetrating power reached the warehouse. “Wife, Wife! Look what I brought you!”
Liu Shimei walked out of the warehouse and saw a figure running towards her from the corridor. It was like a silly Husky running in the snow.
He was wearing a luxurious brocade robe, but other than the dirt on it, there were also many places that were torn. He looked like a silly dog that had rolled a few times in the mud!
The silly dog rushed in front of Liu Shimei, and only then did she realize that he was holding something in his arms. She frowned slightly and asked, “What have you been doing? Why are your clothes torn?”
This heavenly-looking but extremely foolish King Dun Yu finally saw his wife. Like a dog who had seen its master, he wagged his tail crazily and pulled out a rabbit from his bosom, as if he was presenting a treasure. He raised it in front of Liu Shimei and said, “Look, isn’t it cute? In order to catch it, I spent an entire afternoon!”
Liu Shimei was speechless.
“So, you got yourself covered in mud just to catch a rabbit?” She looked at the sky speechlessly.
Seeing that she was not happy at all, Huangfu Lingyao’s face suddenly showed an anxious expression, and he said timidly, “You don’t like it? I saw that it was so cute, so I caught it for you!”
He lowered his eyes and stared at the rabbit in his hand. His eyes were slightly cold, and his face was full of unwillingness. “I thought all girls like this kind of fluffy little animal!”
That expression, that tone, he seemed to be saying: ‘If my wife doesn’t like you, what’s the use of keeping you around?’
Seeing that he was making things difficult for a rabbit, Liu Shimei could not help but laugh. She reached out and picked up the rabbit by its ears.
Fortunately, she was covered in dust after tidying up the warehouse all day. She did not mind the dirt and hugged the rabbit.
But…
“Why did you spend an entire afternoon catching a rabbit? Also, why was it that at least half of its fur was gone? Third, why are your clothes torn all over your body?”
The rabbit’s ears were red and swollen, and its fur was missing here and there. One of its legs seemed to have been injured!
It was a tragic sight!
And this King Dun Yu’s clothes were like the bald fur of the rabbit!
Huangfu Lingyao was stunned for a moment before he explained, “It really knows how to hide. It went into the dog’s home and then ran into the Beast Garden. I was afraid that it would be eaten by the big cat, so I rushed in to save it despite the danger. My clothes were scratched by Big Cat!”
“Big Cat?”
This was not the first time he had mentioned ‘Big Cat’. When he thought about the Beast Garden, Liu Shimei had a bad guess in her heart, “It can’t be a tiger or a leopard, right?”
“Woah!” The excitement on Huangfu Lingyao’s face intensified. “Wife, you’re so smart! Big Cat is a tiger! I gave it a name, isn’t it great?”
Liu Shimei praised with difficulty, “… It’s a great name, the best in the world!”
However, aren’t you afraid of being bitten by a tiger? Do you think a tiger is a face-con like me and will sympathize with your low intelligence?
Huangfu Lingyao’s eyes swept over the storeroom behind her, and he seemed to have only just realized what she was doing. “Wife, are you packing your things? Do you need my help?”
Liu Shimei’s eyes rolled. She reached out and touched the ears of the frightened and poor rabbit in her arms. She said inadvertently, “That’s right, these were all left behind by my mother. When I marry you in the future, I’ll bring them to the Royal Mansion.”
“Do you think that this is too little?” she looked at Huangfu Lingyao and asked.
The corner of Huangfu Lingyao’s eyes twitched imperceptibly. He stared at her for a moment before turning his head away, as if he was trying to find something that interested him.
However, he could not find anything. He turned around and pouted at her, looking very aggrieved. “But these things don’t look very fun!”
Liu Shimei was puzzled. Thinking from the perspective of a five or six-year-old child, there were so many things, but he really could not pick out anything fun? She had a slight suspicion that he knew what she was trying to do!
“It’s not very fun, because all the fun things have been taken away by people who like to play!” Liu Shimei said with a smile.
