Liu Shimei smiled at her and said, “It’s like me. My reputation was tarnished before marriage, but I encountered the simple and kind-hearted King Dun Yu. It turned out to be a fortunate thing!” T/his chapter is updat𝓮d by nov(ê(l)biin.co/m

Madam Jiang, enlightened, responded, “You’re right. Despite living longer than you, I still can’t understand these intricacies! I was truly ignorant.”

Liu Shimei smiled faintly.

It’s not a matter of how long one lives, but rather the influence of the environment one is exposed to!

She continued, “Miaozhen is my friend, and I try to spend more time guiding her. However, affairs at the Fusheng Pavilion are busy, and I can’t be with Miaozhen all the time. So, I thought…”

Although she felt that the Zhang family might not agree, she still proposed her suggestion, “If the Madam doesn’t mind, I suggest secretly sending Miaozhen to the Fusheng Pavilion, to stay in my courtyard for a while. Whether it’s me or the people around me, being away from her current environment might help her overcome her mental distress.”

“You are thoughtful. Thank you, Shimei!” Madam Jiang, grateful, said, “But I can’t decide this alone. I need to discuss it with her father.”

True sincerity is revealed in times of trouble; those willing to help in adversity are truly genuine.

Madam Jiang looked at Liu Shimei and sincerely said, “Shimei, it’s a great fortune for Miaozhen to be friends with you. Regardless of whether she can overcome this hurdle, in the future, if there’s anything the Zhang family can help with, we are willing to assist to the best of our abilities!”

“Helping Miaozhen is because I like her. But with Madam’s words, I thank you in advance.” Liu Shimei also sincerely expressed her gratitude.

As for what will happen in the future, who knows!

Although her fiance is a fool, he is also the Emperor’s heir.

And the Zhang family is influential in the court.

After she marries into the family, who can guarantee that there won’t be problems she can’t solve, requiring the help of the Zhang family?

After administering the medicine, Liu Shimei entered the room again, saying, “Miaozhen, it’s me.”

Zhang Miaozhen was still in tears, belatedly recognizing Liu Shimei. Upon seeing her, Miaozhen’s tears flowed even faster!

“Shimei, I fear my life is ruined.”

That was all she could utter!

Sighing inwardly, Liu Shimei turned to the others and said, “You all leave first; I want to have a private conversation with Miaozhen.”

The maids left, and Shu Yutong also said, “Then I’ll go outside to find His Highness!”

Liu Shimei nodded.

Once they were gone, Zhang Miaozhen cried even more bitterly. Her eyes were swollen like peaches, and her lips were parched.

Liu Shimei sat on the edge of the bed, looking down at her, and said, “Why do you think your life is ruined? Miaozhen, you’re only 15 or 16, still in the prime of your life! Who dares to say you’re ruined?”

“I’m already like this, isn’t it ruined?” Zhang Miaozhen continued to cry, her voice hoarse.

Liu Shimei sighed and said, “Mountains and rivers may hinder your way, but another village appears after the dark forest. No one knows what kind of scenery you’ll encounter around the next corner. Darkness will pass, and dawn will surely come. Though it may sound cliche, it’s also a fact.”

She reached out and held Zhang Miaozhen’s hand, saying, “Miaozhen, I asked earlier. You are lucky; your family hasn’t given up on you. They care about you. You must understand, if this had happened in my family, the consequences would have been severe!”

Even in her confused state, Zhang Miaozhen couldn’t be unaware of the fate awaiting Liu Shimei in her family!

In comparison, she was indeed fortunate!

With tears streaming down her face, she asked, “Shimei, how did you manage to get through what happened on the Lantern Festival?”
