Chapter 140



With that Grand Dowager Empress breathed heavily and then she smiled at Liu Hui Ying sweetly. ” My dear granddaughter-in-law, We hope that you are doing well?”

” I am doing really well for someone who was poisoned and did not get any medical treatment,” Liu Hui Ying replied with a nod and Grand Dowager Empress was once again speechless, she has to admit that this woman was truly petty.

Just look at her it has been so long yet this woman was still taunting them because of that incident!

Even Zhai Tianyu was speechless, he knew that Liu Hui Ying was not going to make this easy for them but he did not expect her to act so difficult, she has already taken the money yet she was acting like this. Was she not afraid that she will be called a fraud?

As he thought about this, he glared at Liu Hui Ying asking her to not go too far but the thing was that the woman in front of him was Liu Hui Ying, not only was she scared of him, she even raised her brow and shot him a sneering smile making Zhai Tianyu stiffen. This woman! Was she saying that she was going to find trouble with his grandmother?

Grand Dowager Empress too understood that she has hit a wall which was why she did not get angry, instead, she took a seat as Nanny Gong and Qui Ai were done cleaning the seats next to Liu Hui Ying, she sat down and then turned to look at Qui Ai and Nanny Gong before saying, ” You two can leave us, there is something that we want to talk to the queen about something.”

Nanny Gong and Qui Ai frowned inwardly, the Grand Dowager Empress also wanted to talk to the Queen about what was going on. How come the Queen became so popular out of nowhere?

The two were confused but they still walked out of the room and the second they stepped out of the hall, both of them turned to look at each other, confusion mirroring their eyes. If they were not wrong then the Queen was the least favoured despite being the ruler of the Harem, why was it that she was suddenly sought out by both the Emperor and the grand dowager empress?

.....

Once the two of them left the room, Grand Dowager Empress turned to look at Liu Hui Ying, she did not know how to start and where to start speaking. The wrongs that they have done to Liu Hui Ying were not small and if the girl wanted to sit down and settle them all, then maybe she will have to ask her grandson to bring her case in front of Liu Hui Ying after her death.

But at the same time, Grand Dowager Empress felt rather wronged, who would have thought that there will be a time that a member of her family will need the help of someone from the Liu family, clearly they were the ones who killed her son and caused her to almost lose everything and yet she was the one who had to lower her head in front of the younger generation of the Liu family.

” Queen, I know that you are upset about what happened on the night of your wedding but I promise that I will ask my grandson to repay you for it by working as hard as he can,” for the sake of her daughter’s peace, Grand Dowager Empress did not feel upset about pushing her grandson in front of the fire. After all, Zhai Tianyu was Liu Hui Ying’s husband, a husband’s duty was to make his wife happy, right?

Zhai Tianyu who was suddenly sold out by his grandmother felt shocked to the core, he stayed where he was and looked at his grandmother with his mouth hanging open as he looked at her in surprise. Work hard as he can? It was one thing that Liu Hui Ying hated men and would not want them to work hard at all but in case she asked him to work hard then what? What would have happened to him?

Grand Dowager Empress did not look at her grandson who was looking at her with a questioning look on his face and made a point to just stare at Liu Hui Ying as she said, ” I know that we had our fair share of differences but you can have my grandson make it up to you–”

” That is not what I want, your majesty,” Liu Hui Ying replied as she placed her cheek on the back of her knuckles as she sighed heavily. ” As you can see I am having a lot of trouble, this place is really not fit for anyone to live in, one it’s at the corner of the palace and there is no good scenery in here either. I can’t even walk around the backyard and since the garden is exclusive to Concubine Ji, I cannot go there as well. What’s more, I am currently dirt poor with no money in my hands with my dowry still being checked.”

She turned to look at Grand Dowager Empress who was looking uncomfortable and smirked, ” I think if someone was to ask for my help they have to show their gratitude, right?”

Grand Dowager Empress was feeling a bit torn at the moment, and though she wanted to ask for Liu Hui Ying’s help, her initial desire to keep Liu Hui Ying as downtrodden as possible haven’t left either. She did not like the idea of giving Liu Hui Ying a new palace and money to improve her lifestyle, if she was to do that then others would think that she was supporting Liu Hui Ying as well!

How can allow that to happen?
