Liu Shimei sighed and said, “In a previous experiment I conducted, the container was made of jade. Due to the high temperature, it failed.”

She fondly remembered the modern instruments and equipment. In this ancient era, everything required finding substitutes, making it difficult to achieve standards.

She spoke casually, but how could Huangfu Lingyao believe it was that simple?

Glancing at the workshop, he saw that she had already tidied it up.

Casually, he asked, “If that thing exploded, can it still be salvaged?”

“No, after the failure, I have to have Mo’er find a craftsman again to make a new batch of containers.”

Liu Shimei thought since it had already failed, there was no need to continue. She grabbed his hand and said, “Let’s go out. It’s almost time for dinner.” Huangfu Lingyao followed her out of the laboratory.

Indeed, it was already dark, but summer days were long, and it was currently dusk.

Shu Yutong was waiting outside, holding a medical book.

Seeing the two coming out, she pouted and said, “Your Highness, you are so disobedient. Master said not to be disturbed during experiments, but you insisted on going in!”

Huangfu Lingyao raised an eyebrow.

Did she really treat him like a child of her age, even scolding him?

Immediately, Shu Yutong turned to Liu Shimei and said, “Master, can we have dinner now? Mo’er just said that dinner is ready.”

“Alright, let’s go.”

The group went to have dinner.

In Liu Shimei’s place, there wasn’t a clear distinction between status. She, her silly dog, two apprentices, and guest Zhang Miaozhen sat at one table for dinner. Another table included Mo’er, Lianqiong Changge, and Zhong Lang.

Originally, Shu Jun used to return home every day. However, after Shu Yutong arrived, he rarely went back home. He basically lived in the Fusheng Pavilion, taking care of the affairs of the medical clinic for Liu Shimei. At the same time, he could spend more time and energy studying the Nine-Nine Soul-Sucking Needle Formation.

After dinner, everyone dispersed, each attending to their own duties.

Huangfu Lingyao held Liu Shimei’s hand and said, “Wife, let’s go out for a walk, digest our food, okay?”

As soon as he spoke, he faced opposition from Changge, “No! In this turbulent autumn, the Eldest Miss is better off staying in her own territory, relatively safer.”

It’s not that Changge wanted to restrict Liu Shimei’s freedom, but mainly because going out would not involve only Liu Shimei. If Liu Shimei went out, even without her disciples, she might have to bring Mo’er with her.

Then there’s the Silly Second Prince, which means Changge would have to keep an eye on several people, and she worried she might not be up to the task.

As for Zhong Lang, despite being powerful, due to the incident last time, Liu Shimei herself didn’t feel anything. She just fined Zhong Lang three months’ salary. However, the people around her had lost confidence in Zhong Lang.

So what if he was one of the top five experts in the martial world? He failed in his duty!

Huangfu Lingyao sighed, “Well, then, let’s take a walk in the Fusheng Pavilion!”

No one opposed this idea.

The two held hands and walked. As they strolled, someone suggested climbing onto the roof to view the night sky.

“The moon is so round!” Liu Shimei sat on the ridge, looking up at the sky.

Huangfu Lingyao sat beside her and replied, “Isn’t it the 14th of July? There’s still a month until the Mid-Autumn Festival!”

He had counted on his fingers!

In another month, Huangfu He would marry the Crown Princess!

And then, a month later, he could marry his wife!

“Yeah,” Liu Shimei smiled, looking at the beautiful moonlight, not saying anything more.

Huangfu Lingyao glanced at her, lowered his head, gathered courage, and asked, “Wife, I have a question I want to ask you.”

“Sure, go ahead.” The atmosphere was romantic, and Liu Shimei was in a good mood.

Huangfu Lingyao pursed his lips, summoned a lot of courage, and finally asked, “If you find out that someone has deceived you, what would you do?”
