Detective Ghost Empress

111 Comparison of hate

” Now it’s your responsibility to make me feel better,” Liu Hui Ying told Liu Yuyang who felt like he was dreaming, the queen– the woman who has always looked down on him was actually acting spoiled with him. Really? He was really confused about what was happening around him, for a second he thought that he was dreaming which was exactly why he pinched his thigh and then looked at Liu Hui Ying who was still looking at him with a sullen look on her face.

This was really happening?

” Ah, forgive me, your majesty,” Liu Yuyang didn’t know why Liu Hui Ying was upset at the mention of the Emperor but since she asked him to entertain her then he would have to do it. He raised his head and then clapped his hands, the maids who were waiting outside with all the gifts that he has brought for Liu Hui Ying came walking inside the room.

When Liu Hui Ying saw the maids carrying a bunch of stuff in their hands as they placed them on the table and the space around her, her eyes started to shine, she wanted to take the cover off the trays one by one and see what kind of expensive good this man has brought for her but she resisted that urge instead she waited for Liu Yuyang to unravel the goods that he has brought for her.

“Here,” Liu Yuyang pinched his fingers and then picked up the cloth that was covering a box of wood on the tray before he picked the box up and undid its lock and flipped it open. As soon as Liu Hui Ying saw the golden hair clip inside it, her eyes turned green with greed — this was it! This was what she was waiting for! If she was to sell it then she will definitely earn a lot of money right?

That old hag was still holding onto her dowry and who knows how long will it take for Zhai Chenguang to find the woman whom she was looking for, if she was to take a lot of time then the old hag will drag the matter of handing her dowry to her even more and if she was to go to the Dowager Empress, then that old witch will forever hold this against her.

Liu Hui Ying knew that even though that aunt of hers and the uncle of hers cared about her but their care was more like that of caring for their treasure that will bring them a great fortune when sold. They only saw her as someone they could use and Liu Hui Ying had no desire to be used by them, which was why she was going to rely on herself and get away from this place, anyway, this wasn’t her mess and nor was this her life.

” This is something that I brought from the country of Cai Shi ( totally made up),” Liu Yuyang told Liu Hui Ying, he went on and on about how costly the piece was and how long he had to bid before he was able to get this, for a little while he completely forgot that he was actually talking to Liu Hui Ying, he treated her as his friend and it was only when Qui Ai returned and placed the tray in front of him, did he snap off his daze and then snapped his head to look at Liu Hui Ying who was listening curiously to him.

Liu Yuyang cursed himself for being carried away and then lowered his head. ” I am sorry please forgive me for speaking too much.”

.....

Now he was surely going to get an earful, she will definitely tell him how he was wasting the money of the Liu family for the sake of showing off, even though he brought these things because his parent asked him to bring them for Liu Hui Ying but that wasn’t the concern of Liu Hui Ying was it?

” Oh then you have worked hard, the eldest brother,” Liu Hui Ying replied as she picked the teacup in front of her and then took a sip. ” It must have been hard on you, I appreciate your efforts in looking for this hair clip for him.”

Liu Yuyang was once again stunned, Liu Hui Ying was actually being nice to him and even saying that he worked hard. He has been working hard for years but she has never been nice to him and she has never said such words to him either.

What was going on?

Liu Yuyang was stunned throughout the entire time, he didn’t understand what was going on but as Liu Hui Ying continued to chat with him, he continued to listen to her. And at a certain point when he noticed how her eyes would shine at each treasure, he could not help but feel a sense of satisfaction in his heart, he didn’t know that Liu Hui Ying’s gratitude for his hard work would make him this happy but it did and he was really contented by the time he left Liu Hui Ying’s palace.

...

” You seem to be in a good mood, young master,” Liu Yuyang’s aide was used to seeing his master bursting out in anger every time he went to meet the missy of the Liu family alone but today he was actually smiling. How was that possible? No even better how in the world did such a miracle take place?

” Yes,” Liu Yuyang replied as he walked out of the doors that were being guarded by the guards and then waited for his aide to open the door of the carriage and then smiled softly. ” The weather today is after all rather cheerful.”

The aide: “.....” the weather was cheerful everyday master. And why are you smiling like this? I thought that you hated the missy!

....

” I thought that you hated men,” Jia Li commented as she looked at Liu Hui Ying who was asking Qui Ai to place the treasures inside the locker room after cleaning them. ” How come you don’t hate that man.”

” I hate him all right,” Liu Hui Ying replied calmly. ” But compared to the Emperor my hate for that man can still be managed.”

” And what’s the degree of your hate for the Emperor?” asked Li Gang.

“It’s to the point where I wished that the man becomes a eunuch and I should be the one to do that.”
