Chapter 355 - 355: Who Brought You Here
That was last year in April, right?
Liang Yi asked in a composed manner, “How did you end up here? Who did you come with?”
The silly puppy immediately looked cautious and leaned a bit closer to Liu Shimei. He held onto her arm and said, “Wife, why does it feel like Ninth Brother is interrogating me, like questioning a criminal!”
He even went on to draw a vivid comparison, “You know, that person from the Supreme Court… what’s his name… the one who interrogated your stepmother last time. Isn’t he doing it the same way?”
Liang Yi was speechless.
This analogy was too fitting; he was going to make him cough up blood!
But he wasn’t in a hurry. He thought, ‘1 don’t believe my sister won’t have any suspicions! My sister is a clever little fox, she surely can’t overlook any clues, right?’
However, to his disappointment, Liu Shimei had strong trust in her husband.
Although she had suspected him many times before, the various events that had occurred later had made her not want to continue suspecting him.
So, she was merely curious and asked, “Lingyao, I’m also curious. Who brought you here?”
After all, he was indeed a bit simple-minded. Thousand Butterfly Valley was a gathering place for martial artists from the martial world. While some upper-class individuals from the imperial capital might disguise themselves and come here to auction off valuable items, who in their right mind would bring this goofy guy here?
Why bring him here? Aren’t you afraid he’ll cause trouble, damage the house, or get into trouble?
Well, the only one afraid he might get into trouble was her, but…
Could it be that someone intentionally brought him here to harm him?
Liang Yi asked, and Huang Fu Ling Yao might not have answered, but when his wife asked, he would definitely respond, “Let me think. It seems like it was… Fourth Prince who brought me here?”
“Fourth Prince?” Liu Shimei recalled the Fourth Prince, Huangfu Yao, from her memory.
That’s right, don’t assume that because his name is “Yao,” he’s a girl. The Fourth Prince was named Huangfu Yao, and he was not much younger than Huangfu Lingyao, probably 19 years old this year.
In ancient times, boys were given single names and style names.
For example, Huangfu He, style name Wen Bin.
Wen Bin, consisting of two literary characters and one martial character, symbolized that the Crown Prince was more literary than martial, which was suitable for a Crown Prince, emphasizing the importance of culture over warfare.
Other princes were the same. After reaching the age of 15, they would be bestowed with style names by the Emperor, except for Huangfu Lingyao, who was an exception.
In his childhood, he was named Huangfu Yao, but later, because he became different after becoming mentally challenged, the Emperor thought he was a different Yao and named him ‘Another Yao’.
But the character ‘Another’ was not suitable for a name, so the Emperor gave him the style name “Lingyao.”
So, Huangfu Yao, style name Lingyao, was his proper name.
It had to be said that this Emperor was really arbitrary.
He casually gave style names, and the title ‘King Dun Yu’, which meant ‘King of Benevolent Folly’, was even more ironic!
“Yeah, Fourth Prince never really liked me.” When Huangfu Lingyao mentioned this person, his face showed a resentful and complaining expression. Holding his wife’s hand, he spoke with a tone of complaint, “Wife, you don’t know! This Fourth Prince is too wicked! He claimed I stole his name, so he often found trouble with me. He either mocked me, scolded me, or beat me!”
He also rolled up his sleeve, revealing a long scar on his left forearm. He continued, “Look, this is what he left from beating me in the past. At that time, you could even see my bones. It hurt so much!”
He looked like he was about to cry if he continued to complain.
Liang Yi could not stand seeing this big man display such a girlish and whining expression. But there was nothing he could do; his younger sister fell for it!
As expected….
