Chapter 178

178 Where is your apology

Liu Fei Fei in short was Liu Hui Ying’s elder cousin even though she was at the same age as Liu Hui Ying because her father was Prime Minister Liu who was Liu Hui Ying’s father’s older brother, Liu Fei Fei was used to bullying Liu Hui Ying with the help of her position being superior.

And even Liu Hui Ying who was scared of her eldest uncle would let Liu Fei Fei bully her behind everyone’s back, after all, she was not close to her father after the loss of her mother.

Every time Liu Hui Ying saw Liu Fei Fei, she would lower her head and let her do what she wanted and even after getting bullied to the point where her hair was scattered and ripped off her scalp even then she would not say anything to her father who would ask her with whom she fought with, in fact, it was better to say that she would snap at her father for being too nosy.

This was what Liu Fei Fei was used to but now all of a sudden she was seeing Liu Hui Ying look at her like she was not even worthy of her time. Her eyes were brimming with confidence and she did not look scared of her at all, in fact from the challenging glint in her eyes one could see that she was hoping Liu Fei Fei to come at her such that she would be able to teach her a good lesson.

Seeing these changes in Liu Hui Ying made Liu Fei Fei rather speechless and stunned, on the other hand, Qui Ai who was looking at the happenings in front of her was rather proud. She knew that her missy was no longer the same scaredy cat who would get bullied by just anyone who wanted to bully her, seeing her missy look Liu Fei Fei in the eyes made Qui Ai puff her chest out as she shot a proactive look at the maid who was with Liu Fei Fei.

The maid who was with Liu Fei Fei was called Gu Xiao Xiao, just like her mistress, she was really arrogant and would often bully Qui Ai. Because Liu Hui Ying never fought back, Qui Ai would have to suffer under Gi Xiao Xiao as well, because she had no support to back her up. Because of this, she was beaten up by Gu Xiao Xiao many times but this time she was sure that she would be able to take this woman who has bullied her for more than ten years.

Gu Xiao Xiao saw the smirk that was playing on Qui Ai’s lips and was really furious, she wished her missy would teach the Empress a good lesson such that she would be able to take Qui Ai down as well, does this woman think that she was in a better position just because she was the maid of the Empress?

Who here did not know that the only reason Liu Hui Ying became the Empress was that she was the only legitimate daughter of the Liu family, if not then her missy would have become the Empress instead of Liu Hui Ying, but never mind that now. Once her missy was done dealing with Liu Hui Ying, she will be crying and they will step out of the room as the victors.

With that thought in mind, Gu Xiao Xiao raised her head and looked at Qui Ai with a face full of arrogance causing the latter to narrow her eyes and glare back at Gu Xiao Xiao who glared right back, sending sparks to fly all over the room.

.....

These two were not the only ones who had sparks flying between them, because Liu Hui Ying and Liu Fei Fei were glaring at each other in the same manner. They stared at each other before Liu Fei Fei smirked and she walked over to the small cushion that was sitting in front of the table where Liu Hui Ying was sitting, what she did not know was that Li Gang was sitting on the spot where she sat down.

Li Gang who was suddenly straddled by a woman was stumped, he immediately scrambled to the side but he was still a step too late because Liu Fei Fei sat on his lap causing her to shiver. Liu Fei Fei shivered as she looked back but did not see anything, she couldn’t understand why she was feeling cold all of a sudden but she could still sense that something was wrong which was why she rubbed her arms and then tried to calm herself down before she turned to look at Liu Hui Ying who was eyeing her with amusement.

” What are you looking at me like that for?” Liu Fei Fei was rather upset when she saw Liu Hui Ying who was looking at her like she was enjoying a show. Seeing that she was acting like this, Liu Fei Fei was not happy –she was the one who was supposed to enjoy making fun of Liu Hui Ying and not the other way around.

Liu Hui Ying shrugged as she looked at Liu Fei Fei and answered with a soft smile, “It’s nothing, I am surprised that you are acting like this in front of the Queen, are you that confident that I would not call my maids and have you punished because you acted like this in front of me? Where are your greetings, Concubine Liu ?”

Even though the two of them were cousins, it did not change the fact that she was the Empress and Liu Fei Fei was nothing but a concubine for her to sit down without greeting the Empress and even enter the room of the Empress without even announcing her name was nothing short of being a punishable crime.

If Liu Hui Ying wanted she could always have Liu Fei Fei dragged away and her punished but she did not say anything instead she exerted her aura on Liu Fei Fei who shivered in return and said in a soft yet no-nonsense voice, ” Where is your apology? Concubine Liu?”
