Chapter 974 Liang Yue (1)
Li Mei has a soft waist, charming movements, and a pair of eyes full of waves. Wherever her gaze goes, she seems to be looking at others, but also seems not to be looking at others. She is like a butterfly, tickling people's hearts. They think the butterfly is about to stay in their hands, but when they are not prepared, they see the colorful butterfly flapping its wings and flying away.
Even the women were gazing intently, how much more so the men? Men, after all, loved pretty things, their eyes practically glued to Li Mei. Madam Ye and Ye Maocai gradually began to reveal a look of pride. Giving birth to such a beautiful and talented daughter, attracting the attention of all the men in Daliang, was a skill not everyone possessed.
Lu Wan'er was filled with jealousy and resentment, gritting her teeth in anger.
Shen Miao watched Li Mei dancing with cold eyes, her thoughts drifting back to her previous life.
She first saw Madam Mei when she returned to Dingjing from Qin. She had only heard that there was a new concubine in the palace, but everyone addressed her respectfully as "Madam Mei" without mentioning her title, which was somewhat unusual. Hearing that Fu Xiuyi doted on Madam Mei, Shen Miao felt bitter, but she didn't take it seriously. She thought that with Fu Xiuyi's cold personality, no matter how much he doted on someone, it wouldn't be excessive.
Then, she went to the Imperial Study to find Fu Xiuyi, intending to discuss a serious matter, but instead saw Madam Mei smashing Fu Xiuyi's paperweight in the study. Madam Mei had claimed illness the day she returned to the palace, so this was the first time they had met. Shen Miao saw the woman as breathtakingly beautiful, her every frown and smile a picture, yet she was also arrogant and unruly, throwing a tantrum in the Imperial Study. Shen Miao expected Fu Xiuyi to lose his temper, and indeed, he did, and Madam Mei simply turned and walked away.
Shen Miao thought at the time, what a fiery woman, she actually dared to speak to Fu Xiuyi like that, with such a temper, how long could she survive in the harem?
She was busy asking about Wanyu and Fu Ming's situation at the time, so she didn't pay much attention to it. She just thought that the woman was an extremely beautiful and arrogant person.
But even though Fu Xiuyi was so angry, the next morning, Shen Miao saw Fu Xiuyi walking with Madam Mei in the Imperial Garden. His words were so doting that it made people stunned.
She had never seen Fu Xiuyi like this before, and Fu Xiuyi wasn't a good-tempered person. Fu Xiuyi's gentleness was only shown when he was with his "talented" friends. He had never been very patient with women. But Madam Mei had angered him only yesterday, and the next day, she had Fu Xiuyi smiling all the time. It was then that Shen Miao suddenly realized that this woman wasn't just beautiful and arrogant; she was extremely dangerous because she could manipulate people's hearts at will. Regardless of whether it was with men or not, she had successfully captured Fu Xiuyi's heart.
As expected, as Shen Miao's time in the palace grew longer, she gradually discovered that Madam Mei was truly terrifying. She appeared arrogant and impertinent, unrestrained in her temper, yet she managed to maintain a safe balance. Fu Xiuyi simply found her true nature untamable, becoming increasingly captivated. However, when facing Shen Miao, Madam Mei was rude, sarcastic, and confrontational. Furthermore, because of Fu Sheng's connections, she repeatedly sowed discord between Fu Ming and Fu Xiuyi. Unfortunately, Fu Xiuyi's heart was always biased.
What is Madam Mei's true face? Shen Miao looked at the charming and affectionate woman in front of her. In this life, she became the daughter of the Ye family. She was cautious and prudent, and knew when to advance and retreat. She no longer showed her arrogant side. But, was this really her face?
Having dealt with Madam Mei for her entire life, Shen Miao knew how terrifying she was. She was a cunning woman like a fox, never going directly to get what she wanted, always going around in circles, taking many detours, and ultimately taking advantage of her and even turning the tables on those she had harmed.
