Detective Ghost Empress

125 Poked him in the eyes

” Why?”

“‘ When?”

“Oh my dear!”

Jia Li’s confession came out of nowhere, startling not only Liu Hui Ying but even Li Gang and Grandma Lan Fen who looked at her in surprise and shock, they stared at her while their mouth opened and closed as they stared at Jia Li in shock. Especially, Liu Hui Ying who was looking at Jia Li like she was looking at a traitor, she looked quite offended, even more, offended than Zhai Tianyu who was peeped at.

” You...how could you do that? You have snapped my nose in half by peeping on a man!” Liu Hui Ying was not upset about Zhai Tianyu’s virtue, she was angry at Jia Li for peeping at a man.

Zhai Tianyu: “....” If you are going to get angry then at least get angry at her for peeping at me while I was bathing.

” I was just curious whether or not his physique was as good as his face,” Jia Li replied with an innocent expression on her face but no one took her expression seriously, seeing them look at her like that, Jia Li rolled her eyes and simply scoffed. ” I was not eyeing him like that, you know I used to cut and examine a body for autopsy, I like watching naked bodies because to me they are like works of art. I was thinking about how I will cut him in case he dies and I get a chance to examine his body.”

Li Gang scoffed as he turned to look away from Jia Li and then floated in the air before coming to a stop next to Liu Hui Ying as he muttered under his breath, “Even ghosts will not believe your nonsense. What a perverted woman!”

“Hey!”

.....

” What?”

” I was saying that you shouldn’t do that,” Zhai Tianyu saw that they were getting away from the topic and immediately put a hold on the fight that was starting between Li Gang and Jia Li, he eyed them curiously because he could see that there was something weird about the two of them. But this was something that he did not want to mess with, this was the matter between the two of them which was why he turned his attention to Liu Hui Ying and said, ” I would appreciate it if your ghost would stop peeping on me while I am in the bath–”

” Why are you being so shy, you have so many concubines surely your body is not an exclusive secret, if you can share with them then you can share with me as well for research purposes,” Jia Li felt rather at a loss when she heard that she wouldn’t be able to see the awfully gorgeous body that she found interesting. She still haven’t thought about how she was going to cut him if he was to be stabbed in the back, she wanted to study his physique a little more.

” Just because I have a lot of concubines does not mean that I am sharing my bed with them– what?” He asked when he saw Liu Hui Ying looking at him with a confused look on his face but Liu Hui Ying simply shrugged her shoulders and said, “It’s nothing, I am just seeing how ruthless men can be when they want to.”

” They are all given to me by my officials!” Zhai Tianyu felt wronged, he clearly did not do anything to the women who were sent to his imperial palace by his officials and yet he was still being blamed and was being called ruthless.

” Yes, Yes...your esteemed majesty, I can see how desired you are in the eyes of others,” Liu Hui Ying waved her hand and Zhai Tianyu felt a nerve throb in his head but she still calmed down and then closed his eyes before he heaved a breath and then said, ” That is not important, I want to know if you can help me talk with my aunt.”

” Why you do not believe what I say?” Liu Hui Ying raised a brow and asked, she thought that Zhai Tianyu was asking about this because he didn’t trust her but then she watched him shake his head as he replied, ” I am only asking you this because I want to see my aunt and ask for her forgiveness, she has been roaming in this world for so long because I was a fool.”

Liu Hui Ying no longer refused when she heard Zhai Tianyu’s reply instead she held her hand out. Seeing her stretch her hand out caused Zhai Tianyu to frown in surprise as he looked at her empty hand and asked, ” What is the meaning of this?”

” Hah, what else...” she rolled her eyes as she tipped her chin at her empty hand and said, ” You have to pay me for my work right? If you want to see your aunt then place the money in my hand and then we will talk.”

Zhai Tianyu was speechless but when he saw that Liu Hui Ying was not joking, he sighed and then rummaged in his pockets before he dropped a bunch of coins in Liu Hui Ying’s hands when he saw that Liu Hui Ying placed the coins in her pockets without wiping it, he couldn’t help but say, ” You don’t find my scent on the gold coins annoying now?”

” The scent of money wipes yours.” Was all Liu Hui Ying said and Zhai Tianyu once again speechless, he really could not win with this woman can he now?

He sighed and then placed his hand in front of her and then said, ” I have paid now please hand me the talisman or whatever that will allow me to see my aunt.”

Liu Hui Ying, however, did not hand a talisman instead she stood up from the bed and then studied her nails and said, “It’s a good thing that I cut my nails today.”

” What are you–” Zhai Tianyu began speaking but then before he could finish, Liu Hui Ying poked him in the eyes.
