Chapter 416: This Daughter Never Backed Down From a Challenge

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Little did she expect that in order to secure Liu Yan’er’s rise to power and the future of the Liu family, the Grand Chancellor was genuinely flexible. He was enduring it all, even though it was almost giving him high blood pressure and heart problems.

Impressively, extremely flexible!

From another perspective, the hunger for power was truly terrifying!

She pondered in her heart: Should she agree or not?

Oh my, such a dilemma!

It’s not right to take advantage of someone else’s misfortune, but helping Liu Yan’er rise to power and harm others made her feel disgusted.

Seeing her standing there in contemplation, it seemed there was a chance for a deal. Liu Fuyun continued, “Liu Shimei, I know you have wit and strategy. If you’re willing, helping Yan’er rise to power won’t be difficult. You can set your conditions, as long as it’s within my capabilities, I’ll agree!”

This was something he had considered for a long time.

His eldest daughter could not marry the Crown Prince; that was certain. However, since she had been betrothed to King Dun Yu and was now a member of the royal family, as long as she was willing to help Liu Yan’er, stabilizing her position would not be difficult at all!

Of course, that had to happen before Liu Yan’er rose to power, even if it meant becoming a side consort to the Crown Prince!

Liu Shimei gave him a sidelong glance, her internal calculations popping like fireworks. ‘According to Huangfu He’s thinking, even if I don’t help Liu Yan’er, she can still become the Crown Princess, right? So… I don’t need to scheme against Zhang Miaozhen or Miao Linglong. The outcome will be the same? In that case, if I agree, I won’t have to do anything, just accept the benefits. Isn’t that like picking money off the ground?’

Very good, she agreed!

But now, she had a bit of a headache: What conditions should she set?

She did not lack money at the moment, and Liu Fuyun could not provide her with social status. Right now, there was nothing she could scheme for.

In the blink of an eye, Liu Shimei suddenly thought of something. “Alright, I’ll help Liu Yan’er take the position, but you can’t interfere with how I go about it, and I won’t be under your command. On this condition, if Father agrees to one thing for me, it’s a deal.”

“What is it?” Liu Fuyun frowned, wary of her audacious request. She had a history of making outrageous demands.

But this time, Liu Shimei did not have any ulterior motives. She simply said, “I want Father to initiate a fresh investigation into my elder brother’s cause of death.”

Liu Fuyun was taken aback. “You’re only suspecting this now? Investigating something so long ago is almost impossible.”

“If you don’t agree, I’ll do it myself!” Liu Shimei did not rush, saying, “You handle your matters, I’ll handle mine.”

Liu Fuyun hesitated for a moment before saying, “Alright, for now. The clan will try to investigate, but I can’t guarantee the outcome.”

Utilizing his position, he could retrieve all available information, making it relatively straightforward.

Liu Shimei chuckled lightly. “No problem. Whether Father does his best will determine if I do mine.”

Liu Fuyun sighed. This daughter never backed down from a challenge. Where did she learn this stubbornness?

But what choice did he have? As long as Liu Shimei could help the Liu family, he could tolerate her temperament.

May 6th.

During this time, the Fusheng Pavilion entered the peak of its publicity campaign. Copies of promotional flyers were distributed to every corner of the Capital, even the local markets.

From birth to death, people needed medical care when they fell ill. Illnesses arose from eating unbalanced diets, and getting treatment required money.

On the first day of Fusheng Pavilion’s opening, all medical fees for patients seen by Eldest Miss Liu were waived!

Although many people found it hard to believe that a high-born lady like Eldest Young Miss Liu would practice medicine, curiosity was enough to draw a crowd.

The opening was scheduled for midmorning, and the Fusheng Pavilion was all set. Seeing that it was almost time, Xu Xian turned to Liu Shimei, who was sitting in the main hall, and asked, “Eldest Young Miss, shall we open now?”

“Yes, open the doors, announce our arrival!”
