Chapter 56
Chapter 57 – Pig head, who are you?
Huang Yue Li's gaze was icy cold.
These hypocritical relatives not only seized family property like a turtle-dove, they also forced Bai Ruo Li to death. These things ……you cannot forgive things like these!
Walking into the corridor that lead to the audience room, she could start to hear Bai Liu Jing's voice from a distance.
"What is going on? They have left for already an hour, but they have still not brought the person back? They are only there to capture a good-for-nothing girl. Do they need that much time?"
The Manor Madam consoled in a soft voice: "Lord, do not blame the guards. It may be that the girl Bai Ruo Li refuses to come, delaying for time. You may not know this, but lately she has grown some courage. Not only does she dare to have secret relations.h.i.+ps with others, she also dares to hit her own elder sister! I heard others say that even the fourth girl has been hit by her………"
"What? There was also this kind of thing?? She is overturning the heavens!"
Bai Ruo Qi also sobbingly added: "Father, you must seek justice for your daughter. Your daughter was..h.i.t quite miserably by her ah! ………."
"Hehe….." An extremely light sounding chuckled rang out cutting off her lamentations.
"Second Sister, what do you mean by that ah? Did I hit you? You must take responsibility for your words. When did I raise my hand to you?"
Everyone present in the reception hall turned their heads.
They all watched as a young girl dressed in a billowing white dress slowly walked in. Her movements were graceful and she carried a dignified and elegant charisma about her, like an immortal fairy who had cut herself off from the secular world. Cold yet n.o.ble.
Startled, Bai Liu Jing blurted: You are……"
For a moment, he couldn't recognise who she was!
Huang Yue Li smilingly asked: "Second Uncle, you cannot recognise me after not meeting for a few days?"
"You are Bai Ruo Li?? How can that be?" Bai Liu Jing cried out in surprise.
These years, under his deliberate suppression Bai Ruo Li had become a complete trash. So much that she could not even raise her head in public with dignity.
Everytime she left home, her head would be lowered to her chest, not daring to raise her voice. Even her clothes were not extravagant and could not even measure up to a maid's from an influential family! She had long become a laughstock at every n.o.ble gathering!
But the young lady standing in front of him now possessed an air that was out of the ordinary. Every move and motion of hers displayed an unspeakable and automatic placing of someone from a grand and n.o.ble family. I made people want to pay their respects to her willingly.
What she still that trash Bai Ruo Li?
But after a careful observation, the five facial features were undoubtedly the same.
After a long time of distraction, Bai Liu Jing finally regained himself.
Meeting her enemy, Bai Ruo Qi's eyes reddened as she mockingly laughed out loud: "Bai Ruo Li! You have finally come! You dare to harm into this state and still dare to come here. Let's see how my father will deal with you!"
Scratching her ear, Huang Yue Li chuckled in a low voice: "Why do I not dare to come? Wasn't Second Uncle who invited me here? Furthermore, who are you? I think I do not recognise you?"
"Bai Ruo Li, what garlic sprout are you?!"
Eyebrows creased, Bai Liu Jing spoke in
At a loss, Huang Yue Li's gaze swept over Bai Ruo Qi. Following that, in a very exaggerated motion she placed her hands over her mouth.
"This……..You can not possibly be telling me that, this pig-head is my Second Sister? How can this be? You must have made a mistake. My Second Sister is a renowned icy beauty in the country of South Yue. With countless young and powerful young men are kneeling under her dress. How can this stinking girl be her?"
With her mention of 'pig-head' and another of 'stinking girl' were like piercing daggers. They struck straight into Bai Ruo Qi's heart.
Bai Ruo Qi was graced with good looks from birth. When had she ever suffered such a humiliation before?
This was all harmed by Huang Yue Li! And she still dared to mock her like this!

Chapter 58 – The ridiculous Second Uncle
"Bai Ruo Li, you……you wait!"
Bai Ruo Qi's finger trembled just as she remembered that she was in the presence of the Manor Lord. That she must maintain her virtuous and refined lady facade.
Fiercely she glared at Huang Yue Li before turning to Bai Liu Jing, tearfully: "Daddy, you must seek justice for your daughter ah!"
Bai Liu Jing saw that the moment Huang Yue Li stepped into the hall, she did not put him, her Second Uncle in her eyes. He was long angered by this.
Now watching as his most beloved daughter with such a swollen face, suffering from such wrongdoing he angrily slammed his hand on the table. The teacup and saucer were swept off the table and shattered onto the ground.
"Huang Yue Li, kneel down for me!"
Severely Bai Liu Jing ordered.
If it were the previous her, Bai Ruo Li's would have long caused her legs to soften in fear from his att.i.tude, kneeling on the floor.
Unfortunately in the eyes of Huang Yue Li, this scene was far too amusing.
Laughing softly, she shook her head and said: "Second Uncle, are you speaking to me?"
Bai Liu Jing furiously replied: "If I am not talking to you, who am I talking to? Hurry up and kneel down! Is this the proper manner for you to speak to an elder?"
Calmly and tranquilly, Huang Yue Li replied: "Second Uncle, you are saying I do not understand proper etiquette? I'm afraid the one who is unclear about the situation is you? I am Region Princess whose t.i.tle was personally bestowed by the Emperor. If we are to talk about status, I hold a higher t.i.tle than you, a Marquis. It should be you who should be greeting me, no?"
"Preposterous!"
Bai Liu Jing did not expect Huang Yue Li to refuse. Stunned momentarily, his face turned ashen as he retorted: "I am your elder! If I want you to kneel, then kneel! You dare to twist words and force logic?"
"Elder? I guess so. Second Uncle, as my elder you forcibly possessed the a.s.sets left behind by my mother and father for yourself. Such a kind-hearted elder, if others were to hear of this, they would most likely praise Second Uncle. They would say that you are someone who possesses good sentients and a good sense of justice right?"
"You!"
Bai Liu Jing was at a loss for words.
He did not imagine that Huang Yue Li would suddenly the mention the topic of family property! This matter was a guilty conscience of his. Many years have pa.s.sed and Bai Ruo Li had never mentioned the matter!
The reason why he could take possession of the a.s.sets left behind by Bai Liu Feng was due Bai Ruo Li's young age and naiveness. He could bully her and forcibly take it away.
Later on, though she grew up, she suffered tremendously under the combined bullying of those in the Manor becoming cowardly and timid. Adding on the fact that she was good-for-nothing, no one put her words to heart. As time went on, she no longer dared to go against Bai Liu Jing.
What was with this girl?
Today, not only did her entire temperament change, every single one of her words..h.i.t a key point!
Ignoring the deathly gazes, Huang Yue Li went to find a chair to sit down on and poured herself a cup of tea.
Smilingly she spoke up: "Speaking of which, as a Region Princess I can entire the Royal Palace at any time. When I was young, the Emperor and Empress Dowager would treat me quite well. So many years have pa.s.sed since I last paid my respects. This is a bit unacceptable. I think I should find some time to enter the Royal Palace to visit my senior the Empress Dowager and inform her of how I have been spending my days…."
When those words left her mouth, Bai Liu Jing's heart jumped.
The matter of him suppressing Bai Ruo Li was naturally hidden from the Royal Palace.
The year that Bai Liu Feng became the number one expert in South Yue, was not only because of his numerous and brilliant military conquests. But because he had saved the Emperor's life, numerous times!
Even though he had disappeared, the Emperor was someone who cherished old relations.h.i.+ps and gave hundreds of benefits and leeways these years for the Manor. These were all because of friends.h.i.+p between him and Bai Liu Jing.
If the Royal Palace were to be informed that he had constantly been mistreating Bai Liu Jing's only daughter these past years, he could possibly be angering the dragon!
