Detective Ghost Empress

28 Making things difficult for her

There were many things that Liu Hui Ying hated– 1) being ignored, 2) being looked down upon and 3) being treated like air and currently, all three things were happening to her at once.

According to what Nanny Gang told her she just needed to serve tea, take the gift that the grand empress dowager has prepared for her and then go back to the safety of her own room where she was free to do whatever the freak she wanted to do but it was as if these blind dogs could not even see her.

She has been standing next to the grand dowager empress with the cup of tea in her hands while the old hag was busy giggling and laughing with that concubine Ju and the jerk who sat next to her. It was a rather humiliating sight as too, the grand dowager empress, the emperor and his beloved Concubine were all sitting on chairs while she alone like the rest of the maids was standing with half of her waist bent as she waited for the old hag to pick up the cup and take a sip.

Fortunately, Liu Hui Ying who was used to hitting walls while solving cases had a lot of patience and was able to withstand this ordeal without throwing the cup of tea at the head of the old dowager empress.

If someone else other than her was standing here, they might have lost their patience by now and dumped the entire thing. But not Liu Hui Ying, oh she was smarter than that, she knew that these three idiots were looking forward to her making a fool out of her but she remained as calm as ever and remembered what was important — all right, alright, she was on the verge of losing her temper as well, okay.

But after she listened to Jia Li and Li Gang, she realised that she was no longer in the modern world where they had all the laws about no killing, not murdering anyone and absolutely no execution until very necessary. This was the era where she would be chopped to death if she made the slightest mistake, now she wasn’t very scared of death, knowing how vengeful she was, Liu Hui Ying was very certain that the person who will come to regret her death would be that prissy jerk, given she will make his life similar to living in hell.

However, she would like to die in a rather simple way instead of being hacked into the middle and most certainly she didn’t see her half-chopped butt as the last thing before dying, that was the only reason she was silent till now or else she would have long thrown this teacup at the bastard who was giggling as if Concubine Ji was telling him some real good joke.

What was there to laugh about her maid spilling tea and almost slipping on it? Was there anything to laugh about in it or was there an inside joke? She sure as hell wasn’t getting why the heck they were laughing.

Just when she was planning to do something, the grand dowager Empress once again let out a startled yelp and then turned her head to look at Liu Hui Ying. ” Aiya, what are you standing there for huh, little Ying? Come here and sit down.” Though she did take the tea cup from the tray, the sly grand dowager Empress did not take a sip of it.

.....

The meaning was clear she didn’t accept Liu Hui Ying as her daughter-in-law.

Nanny Gang and Qui Ai’s expressions turned to sour but Liu Hui Ying didn’t care, why did it matter to her whether the grand dowager Empress accepted her as her daughter-in-law? The thing that mattered the most was whether she accepted her as her grandmother-in-law or not, after all, Liu Hui Ying didn’t need this old hag to help her out, in fact, it was the grand dowager Empress who needed her.

Or else how will her daughter go to the underworld and attain reincarnation?

Forget about drinking tea, just wait until she does her thing.. she will make that old hag worship the ground she walks on.

Liu Hui Ying sat down and took a long breath, the crown on top of her head was heavy enough and after standing for half a day with her waist bent, she felt like she was almost going to die.

” Little Mimi, go and bring the gift that I prepared for little Ying,” the grand dowager empress turned to look at the maid behind her, however just as the maid turned around, the grand dowager empress stopped her and then said, ” Wait, how could I forget such an important thing... little Mimi, I prepared something for Yu’er go and bring it as well.”

Little Mimi, Little Ying and Yu’er,... so the old hag was treating her in the same manner as she would treat her maid huh?

Liu Hui Ying curled up her lips as she skimmed the red embroidered roses on her dress and licked the inside of her lips. She was so going to make this old hag beg her, can her precious Yu’er send her daughter to the afterlife?

She raised her head and looked at the ghost woman who was standing behind Grand dowager Empress and smirked, seeing the amount of grudge this woman has, forget about grand dowager empress precious Yu’er not even a celestial master of great attainment will be able to take care of her at all.

Liu Hui Ying caught sight of Zhai Tianyu’s gaze as he quickly looked at her, seeing him look at her, she not only nodded her head, she even shot a dazzling smile at him as she thought inwardly–

‘I am going to make this man’s life so hard, he has no idea about it, disrespecting me? If your granddaddy was to wake up from his grave now, even he will have to bow down to me and call me master, how dare you... a man who don’t even know the ways of the world make things difficult for me and disrespect me like this, just wait and watch.’
