Detective Ghost Empress

319 When have you seen me leave you in a lurch

On the other side, The Dowager Empress was trembling with fury while her son was planning to devour his wife. With rage filling her every fibre of her being, she trembled while looking at the guards who were responsible for taking care of Liu Fei Fei’s tomb and clenched the cup of tea in her hands as she said, ” Speak! How was it possible for something like this to happen when you two were guarding the tomb? Did I not say that nothing was allowed to go wrong!”

“Exactly!” Second Master Liu also could not believe that something serious like that happened in the presence of all the elders of the Liu family. And that was not even the most important thing, the thing that made him angered to the point of no return was——

” Because of your uselessness my dear daughter who is like a flower in the middle of a solemn field with nothing but her fresh fragrance to protect her was startled, how are you going to pay for this?” As he spoke Second Master Liu placed his hands on his waist and glared at the two guards who were responsible for taking care of the tomb.

If only they took care of the tomb better then his poor daughter would not have been startled like that! How useless!

‘Second master Liu, the daughter whom you are comparing to a flower ripped someone’s heart and smashed it into bits what are you talking about! If she was startled by the blue roses and the disrespect of the Liu family then they were nothing but shy little girls!’ The two guards who were burly as trolls immediately cried in their heads but they did not dare to say a single word to Second Master Liu since they knew that they will be punished if they were to say a single word about the Queen.

As the guards of the Liu family, they knew very well that Second Master Liu doted on his daughter the most and if not for his elder brother’s interruption, he would have kept Liu Hui Ying next to him throughout his life.

” We don’t know how it happened, your majesty, the dowager Empress!” One of the guards on the right pleaded for mercy as he banged his head on the floor. He knew that he was going to be killed if he did not push this responsibility off his head which was why he immediately started knocking his head on the floor and then explained, ” We swear that those things were not there when the people who came to clean the tomb arrived. They were not there when the guests arrived but then all of a sudden they were there as if they appeared out of thin air!”

Liu Dong Ming who was calmly sipping his tea on the side paused but he only paused for a mere fragment of a second which no one caught and continued to sip on his tea leisurely.

” Are you trying to make fun of this Empress? How can something appear out of thin air? It must have been you two who did not pay attention to the situation and allowed the Ji family to take advantage of us!” When Dowager Empress thought about how that old hag was going to get a good laugh at her expense, Dowager Empress Liu felt bad all over her body.

.....

She wished she could tear the person who did this to her niece’s tomb but more than that she wished she could tear that old hag’s mouth. Years after years, that woman has ruined the life of women of the Liu family and yet she acts as if she was someone holier than others. How shameless!

” Calm down your majesty,” Liu Dong Ming who was sitting on the side immediately raised his head and looked at Dowager Empress Liu who was shaking with rage. “I understand your fury but there is nothing that we can do about this now, what was supposed to happen has already happened and even if we make a fuss about it now…nothing will change.”

“How can you say that nothing will change, brother Ming ?” Dowager Empress Liu turned to look at her cousin and clenched her fingers, her past humiliation coupled with the humiliation that she suffered today made her shiver with anger. ” That was your daughter’s tomb, adopted or not…she was disrespected …a member of the Liu family was disrespected and you are saying that I need to calm down?”

” Sister is right, brother Ming,” when Second Master Liu saw that they were no longer using the formal title, he heaved a sigh and then turned to look at Liu Dong Ming and said, ” Are you going to let them go just like that? They have made a mistake coming after the Liu family! How can you just simply let them be?”

” When have you two seen me leave my family in a lurch ?” Liu Dong Ming questioned as he turned to look at his siblings and finally smiled, his face that was ageing immediately became a few years younger as he smiled. ” I am the guardian of this family, as long as I live, no one will be able to get away after slighting us…I assure you…” his eyes narrowed as he rubbed his wrist which was covered with blackened finger marks and promised, ” I will pay the Ji family for everything that they have done to our family, don’t you worry.”
