The wound on her head was still painful, but she still needed to go out for putting on a show to restore her image. “It was all caused by Princess Huizhen!”

Huiling’s hatred for her sister was indelible but even deeper.

At this moment, a woman dressed in white stepped by with a small boy about five or six years old. The boy was stunned when finding the group of children dressed in shackles nearby.

The woman dressed in white had a perfect appearance, whose skin was as tender as snow and eyebrows were so picturesque that no one could forget when seeing her. She stepped by Princess Huiling and said in a slight voice, “Greetings, Princess Huiling. I am Hua Qiyue.”

Hearing this “familiar” voice, Princess Huiling raised her head with a cold expression on her face. However, she tried to suppress the contempt in her eyes under the reminding of the Qi Artist. Then, she said casually, “It turned out to be Miss Hua. Please sit down! Please!”

Hua Qiyue wore a slight smile and sat down with Tianci. There were only a bowl of soup and two dishes on the table, which were really simple.

“I came by with my adopted son, but felt hungry. Then, I got inside for a meal, but I did not expect that I can meet you here, my princess. It is really my honor.”

Hua Qiyue smiled and said. She did not mention things happened yesterday.

Princess Huiling held her voice and said with a smile, “Of course, it will be a thousand-year honor for you, such a pariah, to meet me here.”

This kind of restaurant was really good for a normal person. But for a princess, it was a little bit aggrieved for her to have a meal. However, as for buying a house, she needed quite a lot of money, so she needed to pretend to be closer to the public. Therefore, the Qi Artist suggested her to have a meal over here.

Princess Huiling had no choice but to grieve herself.

“Princess Huiling… on that day… Princess Huizhen are really over-extended.” Hua Qiyue said slightly, while Tianci was glancing at the group of children to time.

Princess Huiling snorted, but Hua Qiyue’s words made her feel a little more comfortable.

“Princess Huizhen has long been in pairs with Mr. Zhou, secretly and apparently. It said that before Mrs. Zhou passed away, they…”

Hua Qiyue paused and looked around with a complex look.

Princess Huiling blinked her eyes. “They secretly hooked up?”

Hua Qiyue smiled slightly. “As a pariah, how can I know the truth. I just heard this from other people!”

Princess Huiling smiled. In other people’s eyes, she was smiling happily and friendly. However, her words were so mean.

“In my aspect, I think that bitch must do what I said. She must have been in pairs with Mr. Zhou since his wife was still alive. After Mrs. Zhou died, she went to their family every day, which made our father so angry and mad at her, so she finally restrained her self.”

Princess Huiling’s eyes shone with an ironic light. “She is such a princess that no one hopes to marry her, but falls in love with a man with a wife. It’s really ridiculous.”

“A man who has a wife… On the basis of Changjing Kingdom’s custom, if his wife died, another woman he married again could also become his wife. Therefore, a woman still has a chance to become one’s legal wife if she gets married to a man with a wife.” Hua Qiyue said slightly, while the two Qi Artists looked at her coldly. They found that Hua Qiyue meant something more in her words.

“Princess, the human heart is sinister, so we must take care.” Hua Qiyue glanced at Princess Huiling and took Tianci to another empty table. When the waiter served their meal, they enjoy their time leisurely.

Princess Huiling twisted her eyebrows and her pretty little face wrinkled together.

“What do Hua Qiyue’s words mean?”

“Since Mrs. Zhou has died, Princess Huizhen would have a chance to become the Mrs. Zhou if she really gets married to Zhou Zhicheng?”

“As a princess, she would naturally not become a second wife, so…”

It must be that Princess Huizhen killed Mrs. Zhou!

Princess Huiling’s eyes lit up. “Yes, why didn’t I realize the truth?” Princess Huizhen used to take her maidservant to visit Zhou’s family and sneaked in after Mrs. Zhou died. What was worse, as for the abusive boy, Huizhen must be the culprit.

She had seen Huizhen personally poisoned one of her maidservant.

Then… a princess killed a normal person’s wife, which could be a piece of earth-shattering news. Then, the emperor would be furious and would defame Huizhen as a normal person…

Thinking of this, Princess Huiling was happy immediately. She could not help sneering and felt pleased. All the grievances and frustrations in her mind were swept away.

“Well! Well! My sister, since you are not good to me, I am not righteous to you. Wait for me to find the evidence and you will wait to die!”

Princess Huiling ate all the food on the table, which made the waiters and the shopkeeper totally grateful. They thought if their meals needed to make an advertisement, they could use Princess Huiling as a sign.

They had not expected that Princess Huiling even agreed their suggestion and she gave the shopkeeper a silver coin. “Thank you for your reward, Your Grace. Thank you, my princess!”

The shopkeeper kowtowed to her for a few times. The princess left with her maids arrogantly, leaving two guards to arrange those orphans. At this moment, everyone had a good impression on Princess Huiling.

Therefore, Princess Huiling and Princess Huizhen were successful in their acting. On that night, the emperor and the queen were both satisfied and treated the two daughters not that strict.

—

In Hua’s Mansion.

When Hua Qiyue went back to her mansion, Butler Wang’s hustle steps came to her before the tea turned cold. “First Miss… First…”

Hua Qiyue felt a bit strange that Butler Wang was always a calm person, so why did he behave as he had met something happy?

Butler Wang rushed in and said with a smile on his face. “First Miss, please come out quickly and greet Eunuch Li. It said that the emperor will reward you!”

Hearing this, Lv Xin and Youshui were looking at each other and felt surprised. Hua Qiyue rushed to the outside of her yard with Tianci. Eunuch Li was waiting for her in the front hall and talked with Old Madame and drank tea.

Old Madame and Eunuch Li were at the same generation, and they knew each other at an early time. There were full of waves of laughter in the hall.

The Second Madame and the Third Madame were also there. They both looked pleased. It seemed that Eunuch Li’s coming made many people in the mansion happy. Even if one was not happy, he or she needed to pretend to be happy.

“Greetings, Eunuch Li. I am Yue Er. Wish you have a good day.”

Hua Qiyue and her maids made a bow to Eunuch Li and the latter one smiled. He was a chubby round-faced eunuch and looked very amiable.

Such a sleek and smooth person would make everyone like him. It was no wonder that he could become the fair-haired eunuch of the emperor.

“Your Grace, you don’t have to be so polite. Come here. This is the rewarded money from the emperor. When First Miss was betting with the other ladies, the emperor was interested in and wrote a note for you, First Miss.” Eunuch Li said and passed a wad of silver tickets to Hua Qiyue.

Hua Qiyue kneeled and got the money. Eunuch Li smiled and said, “This is 10,000 yuan, because the emperor said First Miss is the luckiest person who could win Miss Ouyang, which made him really shocked!”

Hua Qiyue smiled and lowed her head. “Thanks for the rewards from the emperor. Eunuch Li, please convey my gratitude to him.”

Eunuch Li smiled. “Of course!”

Hua Qiyue stood up and took out a silver ticket which was worthy of 500 yuan, and then passed it to Eunuch Li. “You’ve had a long day, Eunuch Li. How about staying here and having a dinner?”

Eunuch Li tried to refuse the money but accepted finally. “I don’t deserve it. Thank you so much first, First Miss. I know you are busy, so I ask for leave.”

After sending Eunuch Li away, Hua Qiyue took the silver tickets in the hall. The Old Madame looked at this refreshed granddaughter with satisfaction. Her eyes were full of joy and appreciation.

“Yue Er, you have done a great job this time. I used to be afraid that you would suffer losses, but I did not expect that you could even win 20,000 yuan back. You have won glory for Hua’s Mansion!”

The Old Madame smiled and said. Nanny Luo besided also nodded her head. “Yes, First Miss is really a lucky girl and she will always meet good things!”

Hua Qiyue smiled lightly and handed the 9,500 yuan to Butler Wang. “Butler, since our family is lack of money, keep this 10,000 yuan for our family first!”

Butler Wang looked at the Old Madame and the latter one nodded her head. “Yue Er, since you’re so considerable, just keep it, Butler Wang. When Yue Er gets married, I will prepare her an abundant dowry.”

Hua Qiyue was embarrassed, and her face turned pink. “Grandma, how did you get there?”

“Haha, Yue Er, you are turning to 16 years old. You’re getting older if you’re not getting married. Why shouldn’t I mention this matter? If you favor of a childe of any family, you can tell grandma and I will ask a media to talk to him?”

The Old Madame smiled lovingly, and the Second Madame agreed with her words. “Yes, First Miss. You’re right at the time of marriage. We should talk about this. How about I find a few good childes for you to choose?”

The Third Madame also moved forward and said, “Old Madame, I can also find some suitable childes for First Miss. After all, I know a lot of dignitaries!”

“Well, well, Yue Er…”

“Grandmother, I have one thing to beg for you… My marriage, I hope you can give me the right to make the decision.” Hua Qiyue smiled docilely. “Since Qiyue has a bad name outside, the normal rich childes could not take a fancy to me!”

The Old Madame was stunned. Hua Qiyue’s words were reasonable. After all, her bad name was known in the whole imperial city. How could the childe who knew her deeply take a fancy to her?

The Old Madame suddenly became worried about Hua Qiyue’s marriage. The Second Madame and the Third Madame looked at each other and quickly smiled. “Old Madame, First Miss’s words are not right… Now, First Miss always goes out with the medicine saint. We heard that the medicine saint’s sister liked her very much. Now, First Miss’s name is getting better.”

The Second Madame took a sip and looked sincere. “I have a nephew at 20 years old. He has not got married. Though he is an illegitimate son, he is running a silk shop. The business is decent. If Qiyue marries him, it could be doubly related!”

Hua Qiyue sneered at the bottom of her mind. The Second Madame’s nephew? When she was reborn and back to the mansion, she had figured out the foundations of the two madames. She even knew the number of their mother’s families and their favorites. She knew them clearly!

The nephew of the Second Madame was a small boss who was running a silk shop name Chunxiu Silk Shop? His name was Cheng Jin. Hua Qiyue had met him before. He was dressy and foppish. Though as a man, he was feminine and tender. Besides, he was sexually amorous, but thought highly of his reputation. Therefore, he secretly asked his butler to look for girls to him and sent them back after having fun with them.

Such a person was not notorious in the imperial city, but definitely not a good person to get married.
