Chapter 221 - 221 Take this off



” If that is the case then,” Liu Hui Ying leaned back on her bed and then crossed her legs one over the other while she smiled pleasantly at Nanny Cheng. ” As you already know I don’t have much money, even though his majesty comes to see me every once in a while because of my family, he is still wary of me which is why I am asking you to give me some money in exchange of investigating the truth about your missy’s death.”

” Money?” Nanny Cheng was really shocked when she heard the words of the Queen. Since when did the Queen become so poor that she started to ask for money from servants?

” Don’t look at me like that,” seeing that the woman was looking at her in surprise, Liu Hui Ying easily smiled at her and waved her hand. ” Don’t you already know that the Liu family is not treated nicely by the Emperor, my dowry is in the hands of the Grand Dowager Empress and I don’t have any money in my hands either, if I want to help you investigate the truth then I will have to hire some personal guards and look in the matter on my own since we cannot attract the attention of the Dowager Empress who told us that the matter has been closed, you understand?”

Nanny Cheng did understand what the queen was saying but a part of her was telling her that something was very wrong which was why she looked at the Queen with confusion and then said, ” but I don’t have any money, how should I raise money for you, your majesty?”

” You don’t have much money but your late mistress did right? Even if you want to keep the money with you what will you get it from? You might as well give me the money and then we will be able to bring justice to your mistress, don’t you think this plan is more concise and suitable?”

“There she goes, what a money grubber——she does not even let go of anything or anyone,” Li Gang muttered under his breath but he was glared at by Jia Li who said, ” What’s wrong with her asking for money, don’t forget that we need a lot of things as well. Have you forgotten we are running low on talisman papers and paper money? I need some burning money for my daily shopping as well.”

” Where the hell you are going to go shopping now?” Li Gang asked as he looked at Jia Li who was obstinately glaring at him.

” I will look for something, I am done wearing these penguin pyjamas,” she glared at Li Gang and then narrowed her eyes. ” If there could be a ghost festival in the modern world then I am sure that there will be a ghost festival in this place as well, I just need to make sure that I get my money from Liu Hui Ying only then will I able to get myself something nice.”

.....

Grandma Lan Fen would sometimes be the wise woman in such scenarios but tonight even though she was very much silent, this tea was sold in the ghost market at a very high price when she was in the modern world. Some vendors called it Emperor tea and said that it was really expensive which was why she could never try it but surely now that she was in this ear she would be able to get that tea at a suitable price, right? With that thought in her head, even Grandma Lan Fen stopped worrying about everything and threw the matter at the back of her head.

What was more important than money anyway? Nothing!

Nanny Cheng too thought that it was reasonable after all the Queen has already agreed with her request, there was no need for her to make things difficult for her which was why she was willing to accept what Liu Hui Ying came up with but a part was telling her that she was falling in a bigger trap.

She looked at Liu Hui Ying who was smiling at her while her maid used a big hand fan to wave air at her and then shook her head. What trap could she even fall into? The Empress was helping her even though she had a feud with her late mistress, this was already good enough what was she thinking about making things difficult for the queen?

” I understand your majesty, I will certainly bring you the money that has been saved up by mistress,” Nanny Cheng replied as she got to her feet and then looked at the queen before bowing her head. She did not turn around instead she slowly and very carefully walked backwards before reaching the sliding door only then did she turn around and opened the door to leave.

Once she was gone, the smile on Liu Hui Ying’s lips falter and then she dropped the curl of her lips. Even though Nanny Cheng said that she will not regret it, she was certain that once the truth comes to the light …no one will regret it more than Nanny Cheng.

But this was not what she needed to worry about after all she has already asked and Nanny Cheng has indeed agreed with her suggestion even after listening to what she had to say, there was absolutely nothing more that Liu Hui Ying could do for nanny Cheng now.

She raised her body from the throne-like seat in the main hall and was going to walk back to her bedroom when she heard the sliding door behind her being pushed open in a hurry causing the door to ricochet with a loud bang as the man who was responsible for it came bursting inside with long strides.

” Get this off from me.” As he said that he pointed to the long robe that he was wearing.
