Detective Ghost Empress

311 Competition

As Second Master Liu spoke he sensed something amiss between his adopted son and his majesty, though he did not understand what it was but as a father, he naturally stood on the side of his son. This was what his brother has taught him ever since he was young, no matter right or wrong, always stand by your family and protect them till the end. He did not understand why his brother gave such teaching to them but since he was the head of the family no one questioned Liu Dong Ming and followed his teachings like sheep.

” Your majesty, is there something wrong?” He asked as he ever so subtly stood in front of his children, though Second Master Liu was small in stature and Liu Yuyang was too tall thus even if Second Master Liu could hide his daughter who was still young behind him with his stocky physique he could not hide his son who was tall and too muscular to hide behind him.

Zhai Tianyu looked at the actions of his father-in-law and something flashed in his eyes, it was something momentary and it vanished before it could be caught by anyone in a haste. He looked at Second master Liu and then greeted him with a quiet voice, “Father-in-law, how are you?”

He did not answer the question which was a silent answer to Liu Yuyang, that he was not going to drop this matter now or ever. Even though he was not clear about the feelings that he had for Liu Hui Ying it was not the place for Liu Yuyang or anyone else to look down on his feelings and try to create a rift between him and his wife or to look at her like they could possess her.

Even if he didn’t consummate his marriage with Liu Hui Ying, she was his wife and will remain so as long as he was alive. In fact, even when he was dead, she will solely belongs to him.

Liu Yuyang’s heart stilled when he saw Zhai Tianyu glaring at him but he did not back down, instead, he looked at Zhai Tianyu with the same gaze as the latter was looking at him. His feelings might have escaped and he might have not kept them under control but was Zhai Tianyu in any place or did he have any right to look down on him? Or question him?

He was far better than this man who couldn’t even protect Liu Hui Ying, if he knew that this person would be this useless, he would have refused his uncle’s suggestion of marrying Liu Hui Ying to that place, even if she was bratty he could have protected her a thousand times better than Zhai Tianyu.

Second Master Liu sensed the tension between his son-in-law and his son, but he ignored it very wisely and then chuckled softly as he nodded and replied, ” I am doing very well, please come with me…my brother is waiting for the ceremony to be started, he will be pleased that you are here to pay respect to his daughter, your majesty.”

Liu Dong Ming would indeed be really pleased, he was in a very sour mood when he heard that Ji Yang and his family actually held the same ceremony for Ji Xianglan on the same day as Liu Fei Fei. Even when the two of them were dead, the Ji family was showing little to no respect for those who have departed from this world even making something so solemn as a competition.

.....

If Zhai Tianyu went to the Ji family, Second master Liu was certain that his brother was going to burn the Ji family’s warehouse down tonight since he could not go against Zhai Tianyu at the moment.

Zhai Tianyu did not say anything, he only nodded at Second Master Liu and then turned to look at Liu Hui Ying who was walking beside Liu Yuyang. His eyes narrowed in displeasure, he was her husband and yet she was walking next to this man? Can’t she see that the man had no good feelings for her if anything he was looking forward to turning his hair green?

” My queen,” he said making Liu Hui Ying who was staring at the portly man with shock in her eyes after learning that he was the father of this body. She wanted to stay as inconspicuous as possible since she did not know what kind of person the father of this body was but then her plan was foiled by Zhai Tianyu who suddenly turned all the attention towards her.

Liu Hui Ying cursed the man for being too nosy but she still smiled and then lowered her head as she replied with a smile, ” Your esteemed majesty?” What do you want you jerk? Do you wish to see me burn so much? Why couldn’t you stay silent?

” Walk by my side, lest someone misunderstands,” even though Liu Yuyang was now Liu Hui Ying’s brother, many knew that he was brought to the Liu house to become the house husband of the Liu family by getting almost engaged to Liu Hui Ying, if not for the sudden move by Liu Dong Ming who wanted to make Liu Hui Ying the Queen after finding out that Ji Yu was going to be the imperial concubine, he would have married Liu Hui Ying.

No one would say anything about Liu Yuyang and Liu Hui Ying when they were standing alone when Zhai Tianyu was not here but now that he was here and Liu Hui Ying was still walking with Liu Yuyang, it might create some rumours.

Liu Hui Ying tilted her head as she looked around the surrounding, and sure enough, she saw a few gossipy people who were looking at her and Liu Yuyang and rolled her eyes, seriously was this necessary?

Though she was annoyed, she still turned a blind eye to those people and walked over to Zhai Tianyu. What she did not know was that behind her Zhai Tianyu shot a triumphant glance at Liu Yuyang causing the latter to turn red in anger.
