Detective Ghost Empress

176 Not happy

Liu Hui Ying was slightly offended when she saw that the Emperor sent someone to keep an eye on her but she did not say anything to An Qian, she did not have anything against this woman. She was only doing her job, but she underlined the name of the Emperor with a red line in her heart, one of these days she was going to make that man suffer.

” You can stay here but I don’t like being followed by anyone, it will be better if you make your presence as inconspicuous as possible.” Liu Hui Ying told the woman who nodded and then vanished from the spot where she was hiding, Liu Hui Ying could, of course, sense the presence of the woman but at least she no longer has to see the face of that woman.

She breathed heavily and then pushed herself off the bed, she was truly not in the mood of dealing with the emperor but looking at how he was trying to drive her mad the first thing in the morning, she was going to have that man turn impotent sooner or later.

With that thought in her head, she picked herself up from the bed and then headed straight to the bathhouse where she bathed herself and then dressed in new clothes but even after taking a cold bath, the anger in her heart was stewing more and more. Why was it that she was being spied on by a guard? She was not a criminal!

” That dumb man!” She finally exploded as soon as the breakfast was served as she glared at the seafood porridge that was sitting in front of her. “He did not even know that his aunt was killed, if not for me telling him, he would have been under the impression that his aunt died in an accident and he would have never understood a thing and yet now that I have helped him, he sent a guard to spy on me.”

Somewhere she knew that she might be overreacting but Liu Hui Ying grew up under the watchful eyes of her neighbours who found out that her sister died with her being in the house.

Liu Hui Ying was very young back then there was no way she would have killed a fully grown woman who could have taken her down at any moment but even then someone in the neighbourhood spread the rumour that she was the one who killed her sister when the latter was asleep because no one went into Liu Hui Ying’s house and they did not hear anyone scream either given that her sister felt secure with the presence of whoever was in her house.

Back then everywhere she went she had to withstand the glares of the neighbours and because the police could not provide any evidence that showed that Liu Hui Ying was not involved in the murder, no one believed her and kept an eye on her as if waiting for her to go crazy and kill one of them.

Right now, with An Qian near her even though her gaze was not hostile and suspicious, Liu Hui Ying felt really uncomfortable.

.....

” Don’t think too much,” Jia Li tried to coax Liu Hui Ying, she has seen the Emperor’s expression when Liu Hui Ying told him that she wanted to go back home. That poor guy looked like someone kicked his puppy.

” Yeah, don’t get so upset with the presence of that little girl,” Li Gang too did not like the fact that the Emperor has sent someone to their courtyard, more people meant he has to reign into himself even more. But he knew that if Liu Hui Ying got angry then they will have to suffer under her, if she was upset then she will not share her spiritual energy with them and if she does not share her spiritual energy with them, this meal will taste like dirt.

Which was why he tried his very best to calm Liu Hui Ying. ” The Emperor might have sent someone to spy on you but it’s not like we don’t know how to take her down, now do we?”

” Exactly, when that bald head of your department sent someone to spy on you didn’t we take that man down as well?” Grandma Lan Fen said as she ladled the porridge into her bowl and waited for Liu Hui Ying to instil her spiritual energy in the food such that she could take a bite of this savoury porridge.

” Don’t try to act nice, I know you all are saying these nice words because you want to eat,” Liu Hui Ying narrowed her eyes as she scrunched up her face into an ‘ I know what you are thinking’ look, nonetheless she still shared her spiritual energy with the ghosts. ” I just think that this is too much, that man seemed to be overestimating himself these days because I acted nice to him.”

Nice? All the three ghosts paused when they heard Liu Hui Ying say that she has been treating the Emperor nicely but then they thought about how she always treated other men by throwing them or either kicking and kneeing them in their crotches and had to agree that she was indeed treating the Emperor rather well at least she still hadn’t kicked him in the only tree that stood tall in his forest.

Though Li Gang would have liked to tell her that her definition of treating a man nicely was widely different than the one that was popular among the men, he decided to keep quiet after all this matter had nothing to do with him. And more importantly, he would miss out on this delicious porridge if he was to say anything at the moment.

While the three ghosts were busy with their meal, Liu Hui Ying was occupied with the idea of making the Emperor suffer and as she thought and thought, something came to her head and she smiled sinisterly before turning to look at Jia Li who almost dropped her chopsticks when she saw that sinister smirk on Liu Hui Ying’s face.
