Chapter 577 - 577: Heartlessness and Lack of Integrity
After tending to all of Liu Yan’er’s wounds, Liu Shimei stepped out of the bedroom door.
By that time, Liu Fuyun had already handled the matters outside. All the maids and servants had been taken away.
As for how to deal with them, Liu Shimei didn’t want to concern herself, nor did she want to dwell on it.
She had a rough idea in her mind. Although she felt some sympathy for these people, but…
Liu Fuyun was still waiting in the courtyard. The Zhang family members had already been sent away. His face remained grim as he asked, “How is Yan’er doing?”
Liu Shimei answered truthfully, “She resisted quite fiercely, and got injured quite badly.”
To be honest, she was in a much worse state than that night during the Lantern Festival!
When she woke up, she was burning with fever, and encountering a handsome man, she thought he was harmless and used him as an antidote. Because her body had already reacted, she didn’t suffer as much as Liu Yan’er, who resisted fiercely and ended up in such a miserable state.
Liu Fuyun frowned and said, “Everyone’s been dealt with. Today’s events were caused by you. I should hold you accountable for this. But Shimei… no matter what, you are my daughter. This kind of situation between father and daughter is a disgrace to your mother. From today onwards, I will reflect on myself as a father. I hope you… can let go of your pride. We are family after all, aren’t we?”
Upon hearing this, Liu Shimei was shocked.
She couldn’t believe it—Liu Fuyun had actually spoken these words. Was this… a truce?
A truce now? Wasn’t that a bit ridiculous?
Or perhaps, was there some conspiracy at play?
Liu Fuyun continued, “In the past, it was Madam who disciplined her daughter. Her vision has always been narrow, driving Yan’er away from her sisters. Now that Madam has left the Liu family, as the elder sister, it’s your responsibility to guide your younger sister. After all, she’s still young, there’s a possibility you could lead Yan’er onto the right path.”
In Liu Shimei’s mind, there were a thousand expletives!
But she kept quiet. She wanted to see how shameless this man claiming to be her father could really be!
Seeing her expressionless face and lack of response, Liu Fuyun grew impatient. “What are you thinking?”
He sighed, saying, “Shimei, you’re so skilled in the use of medicine. If you’re afraid that Yan’er might harbor ill intentions towards you, I don’t mind if you resort to medicinal methods to influence her. Now that she no longer has her mother to guide her in the mansion, as the elder sister, what do you think about taking on that role?”
Liu Shimei said nothing.
Even she, someone adept at using drugs to control people, hadn’t thought of using medication to control Yan’er. She hadn’t expected her own father— because of her display of skill today—to start plotting this way!
One couldn’t help but admit that this Grand Chancellor, truly had a sharp mind!
Unfortunately, his moral character was so abysmal that it couldn’t even be found in the dirt!
“Let’s talk about it later,” she didn’t immediately agree, only saying, “I have patients waiting for me. I must take my leave.”
She had already wasted more than half an hour here. She would have to apologize profusely to her patient for being late!
Seeing her response, Liu Fuyun said, “Think it over carefully. After all, Anhe is still young. The prosperity of the family will rely on you.”
He spoke with a trace of sorrow, saying, “If only your older brother were still here…”
Liu Shimei looked at him with cold eyes.
It seemed somewhat sincere, but it couldn’t hide this man’s heartlessness and lack of integrity!
The more she encountered these hypocritical people, the more she missed her dog at home!
She couldn’t be bothered to reply. She turned and left.
After finishing with her patient, Liu Shimei entered the palace.
Having been tainted by the outside world, she wanted to go back home and wash her eyes with the sight of her silly puppy!
