The General's Genius Daughter Chapter 25

Chapter 25 Apology in Person

The Third Concubine’s face turned pale suddenly, “Blacky… Come back! Don’t ruin the Long Red! No!”

Even the Old Madame regarded the Long Red as her treasure, not to mention Hua Qiyue who had become totally calculating with chill eyes.

The Third Concubine was still very scrupulous about Hua Qiyue. Now her dog had rushed to the Long Red, and if it was damaged, then…

Everyone was stunned!

A slight smile climbed up on Hua Mengshi’s face. It was she who asked Qiuyun to attract the black dog, and ordered her men to drive the black dog mad by hitting it behind, so as to destroy the Long Red.

That was such a double-gain plan, which could destroy the Long Red on the one hand, and push the Third Concubine and Hua Xiaoyi to become the enemies of Hua Qiyue on the other hand. It was perfect!

Quick as a wink, the black dog stepped into the red clay. Just as it was about to step on one grass of the Long Red, the whole flowers suddenly disappeared in the exclamation of the crowd!

The black dog slammed into the wall and fell into a faint.

Frightened, the Third Concubine quickly ordered to take the black dog away. She glanced at the Second Concubine and the Hua Mengshi, “I didn’t expect there to be such a perfect plan in this world! Fortunately…”

Fortunately, those flowers suddenly disappeared.

Where did they go?

The Second Concubine, Cheng, was also so surprised, and even forgot to respond to the Third Concubine, just staring at the red clay.

“Oh my God! Really magical herbs! It is said that the magical herbs know to escape when they are going to be picked by someone other than their owners!”

“Magical herbs… Our Miss owns magical herbs!”

“Who gave them to her?”

Those servants who had bullied Hua Qiyue shouted in shock, totally forgetting that the Second Concubine was still here.

“Humph! What kind of shitting magical herbs they are! She’s just playing tricks!” Hua Xiaoyi was irritated. In just a few days, Hua Qiyue not only gave her two lessons, but also gained the love of the Old Madame, even got those famous herbs, which aroused her greed and anger.

The Third Concubine took the hand of Hua Xiaoyi, “Xiaoyi, don’t talk nonsense here. Let’s go back to our court.”

Hua Xiaoyi was in a little anxious, but still dragged away by the Third Concubine.

After a long time, the Long Reds still did not show up again. Everyone was very guilty, and quickly turned away.

In the last, only Madam Cheng and Hua Mengshi were here. Strong hatreds could be seen in Hu Mengshi’s eyes. She just thought that her plan would succeed, but didn’t expect those Long Reds to disappear within a moment!

Madam Cheng gazed at the piece of burning red clay which was glowing with cold light, as if laughing at their stupidity.

“Let’s go back, Second Miss!” Madam Cheng sighed. Hua Meng Shi knew that she had failed to ruin Hua Qiyue’s magical herbs this time, and left with Madam Cheng reluctantly in a gloomy mood.

Hua Mengshi returned to her court and vented her anger by breaking several vases. She did not stop until the Nanny Zhou reminded her.

“Second Miss, this is not the way to go. We have to find another way to remove that girl as soon as possible, otherwise…” Zhou’s eyes were full of chillness.

Hua Mengshi nodded. She understood that now Hua Yueqi was not the same as before. If Hua Mengshi still lived here with her, she would have no place in the Hua’s Mansion anymore.

In the afternoon, the sun was ardent. Hua Mengshi stretched out her hand to pinch off her favorite Flos Albiziae in the vase.

…

Returning to the Hua’s Mansion, the Butler Wang told Hua Qiyue what had happened at noon. Hua Qiyue bent her lips coldly. “I’ve told you! The herbs own spirit, and can’t be stolen by others. So it’s not necessary to have servants to guard them. But, Second Concubine and Hua Mengshi will definitely continue to find a way to deal with me.”

“What should we do?” Lv Xin and You Xin asked at the same instant.

Hua Qiyue gently pinched the wine cup in her hand, turning it into powders, which made everyone stunned.

How did the Fist Miss gain such a powerful strength?

The eyes of the Butler Wang shone. It seemed that Miss was really different from the past. Or maybe she was hiding her capacities and biding the time.

“There are always effective countermeasures.” Hua Qiyue said calmly. The Butler Wang suddenly felt that he really followed the right person this time. If he did not obey Hua Qiyue last time, his end must be bad, too!

He came out from the Cuihua Court and returned to the court of Nanny Wang. The court where these servants lived was not as big as the owners, but the butler’s was considered spacious.

The Nanny Wang was lying on the bed. The 20 boards as punishment hurt her veins and bones, and it would take a month or two for her to totally recover.

A servant was taking care of the Nanny Wang. It was Hua Qiyue who told the butler to let the servant come over.

“Wife, are you better?” Seeing Nanny Wang’s sleepy look, Butler Wang whispered his wife and retired the servant.

Nanny Wang opened her eyes and sighed when she saw his husband. “How good can I be? My bones seemed to be broken, and it is extremely painful.”

The Butler Wang patted her hand, “Wife, though you suffered a bit of injury this time, it proved that we did not follow the wrong person. Later… you have to look after Miss well…”

The Nanny Wang remembered the cold and severe Hua Qiyue that day, and looked at Butler Wang in confusion.

The Butler Wang told what happened in these days. The Nanny Wang’s eyes suddenly shone when she heard that Hua Qiyue specially rewarded 1,200 tales of silver to Butler Wang because of his cooperation with her!

The two’s total income of five years was not so much! Following the Second Concubine, the Nanny Wang was only paid two tales of silver a month. Although there was a bonus, it would never be more than three tales of silver in total.

One thousand two hundred, it was a very large number!

“So, Miss is now different. These days, the Second Concubine and the Third Concubine gained a lot of losses because of Miss, and they couldn’t cope with her. The Old Madame will return tomorrow. Miss also won the love of the Old Madame, so this time we have absolutely made the right choice.”

Confidences sat in the center of Butler Wang’s eyebrows. Nanny Wang rarely saw such status of him. She recalled Hua Qiyue who suddenly became different, and somehow a kind of awe rose in her heart.

—

In the Birong Court, the Third Madam Pan was walking around with anxieties. Hua Xiaoyi, who sat on the side, shouted dissatisfied. “Mom, what are you doing?”

“I thought Miss will come to us after her returning. But up to now she still didn’t show up. Can it be that she doesn’t care about those Long Reds?” Pan’s eyebrows were knitted, filled with bitterness.

Hua Xiaoyi snorted. “What does she dare to do to you even she comes, mom? Don’t forget, you are her elder!”

“She doesn’t dare to punish me, but the Old Madame does if she returns…” The Third Concubine looked sad and hesitant.

Hua Xiaoyi pouted, “Mom, don’t worry. She is not a fool. She can absolutely guess who led the black dog. Humph! That bitch Hua Mengshi must also hate Hua Qiyue very much, and let’s see them fight!”

The Third Concubine just locked her brow and stared at the Flos Albiziae outside the window. The clusters of bright red bouquet reminded her of Hua Qiyue’s Long Red.

Hua Qiyue had now become the favorite of the Old Madame. Fighting against her would lead to a miserable end.

What’s more, she gained the help of a master. After all, the ordinary people wouldn’t own the seeds of Long Red. And it was much stranger that she could cultivate them well.

In addition, it was weird that the soil of the Cuihua Court was brown, but the clay burying the Long Red was red. Why Hua Qiyue changed a lot? She must have experienced something!

The Third Madam Pan was usually a calm person. Although Hua Xiaoyi was too arrogant, it did not mean that Pan was such a person as well.

The Pan was clear that Hua Xiaoyi’s mammy was also a follower of the Second Concubine. It was her neglect to not adjust her daughter well.

“Nanny Luo, give me the latest set of head ornaments. Xiaoyi, dress up, and let’s go to the Cuihua Court.”

The Pan said faintly. Hua Xiaoyi looked at her in confusion. Her tone was a bit rushed. “Mom, are you going to please that b**ch?”

“Xiaoyi, shut up! If you don’t restrain yourself, you will lose your life! Do you not remember the Lanzhu although she is only Hua Mengshi’s maid, she is sinister. Once she hates you, she will set you as an enemy of Hua Shiyue, and will you be her opponent?”

The Pan said sharply. Her eyes were full of the look of anger, her body trembled slightly, and even the shackles on her dagger creaked.

Hua Xiaoyi got stumped. Her mother had never reprimanded her like this. Ever since Hua Qiyue returned home from the Hanyue Temple, Madam Pan seemed to be more and more dissatisfied with Hua Xiaoyi.

Hua Xiaoyi snorted coldly, but did not say a word. Now, Madam Pan was furious, and how dared she talk back?

The Mammy Luo took out Madam Pan’s newly head ornaments. The Pan personally took Hua Xiaoyi and Mammy Luo to the Cuihua Court to apologize.

Hua Qiyue was having dinner. Watching the little guy drinking a bowl of the fragrant Long Red soup quickly, she felt that the scars on his face seemed to fade a lot.

The Pan and others came here and did not stay long. They just chatted for a while about what happened today implicitly.

Of course, when they entered the Cuihua Court, Madam Pan saw the flamboyant Long Red were still there. She didn’t expect them to appear again.

They must be magical herbs, so after their owner returned, they automatically appear!

Hua Qiyue was quite polite to Madam Pan with a respectful attitude, no blames for her.

Relieved, Madam Pan just took everyone to leave.

Hua Qiyue put a steamed chicken in the bowl of Tianci. “Tianci, eat more! You have to be fat, and mommy wants you to be fat.”

Tianci blinked his eyes. After he came here, his food had been greatly improved. Though only two days passed, he had been very close to Hua Qiyue.

Tianci was well-behaved and nodded. But Hua Qiyue was in a gloomy mood. The little guy used to be cute and mischievous. For those he didn’t like, they must be tricked. He could be called a spoof little demon.

But now He became well-behaved, presumably because of those injuries.

Hua Qiyue squinted her eyes. After she adopted Tianci, Zhou Zhicheng and the Princess Huizhen had not visited her yet, but this was the rule, the two parties of the adoption should officially meet after one month, so they would definitely come here!

“Miss, you are really smart. I didn’t expect that the Third Lady would actually apologize in person.” Lv Xin laughed aside.
