Chapter 10: Oh, my bad temper

Turning her head, a pair of beautiful eyes shone brightly as she said to Liu Shimai, "My dear, do you want me to beat her? I'll definitely do a better job than you!"

The thief looked so excited, just like a newly released husky, which made Liu Shimai unable to help but laugh and cry, "She's just a scoundrel, I don't need your help."

"Liu Shimai, how dare you kick me!"

Yaner was helped up from the ground by a maid, looking incredulously at Liu Shimai and said, "I am now the candidate for the crown princess, you are overstepping your bounds!"

Liu Shimai sneered and said, "Aren't you going to call me big sister? I'm really curious, with your appearance, you could sell the makeup on your face by the pound. How could you be chosen by the crown prince? Oh, it turns out you are a 'candidate' for the crown princess!"

The emphasis on the word "candidate" was heavy.

It can be seen that the royal family still holds the Liu family, a prominent minister for several generations, in high regard, as anyone can be a candidate for the crown princess!

"Hmph, I heard that. Originally, the crown princess should have been chosen directly, but without the presence of the young lady, the crown prince suddenly decided to select four candidate crown princesses, saying that he wanted to observe their character. The real crown princess will not be decided until after the Mid-Autumn Festival. It's still early before the Mid-Autumn Festival, so everything is still uncertain!" Mo'er said smugly.

In the past, Liu Shimai always ignored these hypocritical clowns, which only fueled Yaner's arrogance.

But now, the young lady finally showed her power!

"Oh?" Liu Shimai was somewhat surprised.

She searched her memory and pulled out an image of the crown prince.

In her memory, the crown prince looked pretty good, right?

Mo'er continued, "Young lady, you still don't know! The selected candidates also include Princess Ping'an, the youngest granddaughter of Minister Zhang, and the eldest daughter of Duke Anguo!"

Because she was upset that her young lady missed the opportunity to become the crown princess, she specifically inquired about this!

They were all focused on tearing each other apart, and no one noticed that when they mentioned the "crown princess," Huangfu Lingyao quietly glanced at Liu Shimai, observing her emotional changes, with a look full of scrutiny.

Liu Shimai didn't have much feeling about the crown princess. She returned to the bed and brought over the medicine bowl placed on the bedside cabinet, drank it in one gulp, and then coldly said, "If you don't want to stay here and get beaten, then hurry up and leave!"

Huangfu Lingyao's eyes flickered, and soon he put on a silly look, clapping his hands and echoing, "Did you hear that? My wife told you to leave, aren't you going to leave? Do you want me to help you roll out like a ball?"

"You..." Yaner came to ridicule Liu Shimai, but unexpectedly, she was humiliated instead. How could she be willing?

But facing Liu Shimai's icy and sharp gaze, and considering that she would not hesitate to act now, she couldn't afford to provoke her without finding her mother to help, could she?

She gritted her teeth and said, "Hmph, let's wait and see!"

Just as she took a few steps, Liu Shimai narrowed her eyes and said, "Wait!"

Yaner's steps paused.

Huangfu Lingyao also looked at Liu Shimai in confusion and said, "My dear, is she not leaving? Do you want me to help you turn her into a ball so she can roll out?"

Liu Shimai said, "..."

Although his suggestion sounded exciting, her focus was not on that.

She walked over to Yaner, staring at the tassels on her head, and asked, "This thing, is it mine?"

It was the dowry left to her by her mother, Lady Ruyi!

"You used my name to participate in the selection of the crown prince's consort, and you dare to wear the jewelry left to me by my mother! You have a lot of nerve!"

As she spoke these words, Liu Shimai didn't hesitate to take action, quickly approaching Yaner and snatching the six-piece jewelry set from her head!

The earrings on both ears couldn't be missed either!

"Ah!"

As she pulled the earrings, Yaner's ears instantly bled, and she screamed, "Liu Shimai, do you think you are still the high and mighty Miss Liu? You are now the laughingstock of the entire capital, you are a broken shoe! These things are already mine, they are mine!"

"Oh, I have such a bad temper!" If she hadn't spoken, Liu Shimai might have been able to hold back, but with this shouting, she couldn't hold back anymore!
