Chapter 109
109 Disapproval
“Well, I can’t even imagine letting anyone walk all over me,” the last time someone tried to step on her, that woman got two broken teeth and several stitches around her mouth. These women should be glad that she couldn’t reach them or else it would have been them instead of those maids.
” That’s exactly what I have been telling you, your majesty,” Qui Ai picked up the empty bowl from the table and then placed it in the tray. ” You are the empress, you are supposed to be the one evoking fear in the hearts of those Concubines not the other way round but you never listened to me, the loss of your memory seemed to be really timely.”
” Haha,” only if she knew the truth, Liu Hui Ying laughed the matter off as Qui Ai rose from her spot and started walking towards the door when suddenly the door was slid open and a maid whom Liu Hui Ying has hardly seen knelt in front of her and said, ” Your majesty, your brother Liu Yuyang is here and he is asking to meet you, should I let him in?”
” My brother?” Liu Hui Ying turned to look at Qui Ai in confusion as the latter hurriedly came to sit next to her and then started telling her about Liu Yuyang.
” He is the elder brother of your majesty,” Qui Ai told her in a whispering voice. ” But he is not your biological brother, he was adopted by your father when he was young because your mother passed away after giving birth to you. Your father already knew that you will be sent away to the imperial palace and you won’t be able to inherit his wealth, which is why it was your father adopted a child from a distant relative, you and he have always been close and before you got married, he went to another city. He must have returned which is why he came to see you.”
When Liu Hui Ying looked confused as to why Liu Yuyang came looking, Qui Ai seemed to have understood her confusion as she explained further and said, ” It has been like that for ages, every time the eldest master left he will come looking for you first and he will bring a bunch of gifts for you. Most probably in his eyes, you are still the young girl who would ask for gifts when he returned from another city.”
Liu Hui Ying frowned as she turned her head to look at the maid who was still kneeling in front of her and was suddenly torn, should she allow the brother of this body to come looking for her? If he was really that close with this woman then he might realise that something about her was different, wouldn’t he?
” This is going to be difficult,” Jia Li who has just woken up stepped inside the room as she stretched her arms behind her back and then looked at the maid who was kneeling on the floor. ” If this guy is really as close as the maid says, then he will definitely catch something.”
Liu Hui Ying was aware of this as well, she thought about it and then turned to look at Qui Ai to tell her to send the man back but then she heard Qui Ai say, ” The last time the eldest young master brought you a ruby the size of a chicken egg, I wonder what he might have brought this time.”
.....
” Oh no...” said Jia Li as she smacked her hand on her forehead.
” There it goes,” Li Gang shook his head. ” Our Ship is going to sink now.”
” Call him then,” only Liu Hui Ying knew how hard it was for her to buy those paper talismans last night, that Emperor seemed to be trying to keep her as downtrodden as possible, but he didn’t send her any money. Instead, he sent nothing but pieces of jewellery...the one that was only exclusive to the Empress, she couldn’t even bring the jewellery with her because she knew that she will definitely be treated like a thief. In the end, it took her a long time to find a piece of jewellery that could be sold in the market.
If she was to get something then she will be able to buy all kinds of herbs and instruments to break the curse on the beads that she got from the grand dowager Empress.
” As you say, your majesty,” the maid kneeling on the threshold bowed her head and then got up from the floor before shutting the door close and then walking away.
Once she was gone, Jia Li turned to look at Liu Hui Ying and said, ” You are so going to be caught.”
” Where are my popcorns when I need them?” said Li Gang on the other hand as he looked around, when both Jia Li and Liu Hui Ying turned to look at him, he casually shrugged and said, ” What are you looking at me like that for? I am dead, enjoying a show is what I deserve in the least.”
In return for his response, he received a spiritual electric current that made him drop on his four.
” Never learns his lesson, does he?” Jia Li clicked her tongue as she looked at the crouching Li Gang before turning to look at Liu Hui Ying. ” You do know what you are doing right?”
” Nope,” said Liu Hui Ying honestly as she turned her head to the side. ” But that man is my lottery ticket, he will be the one who will help us advance in our cultivation.”
When Jia Li and Li Gang heard that there was a chance to raise their cultivation, both of them raised their heads and then turned to look at Liu Hui Ying who smiled at them and said, ” Just wait and watch.”
It didn’t take long for Liu Yuyang to come knocking on her door, as he pushed the sliding door aside, Liu Hui Ying had to click her tongue in disapproval. She looked at his handsome face and the perfect way he carried himself and shook her head, just what did the man of this world grow up eating? They were just too perfect!
