Chapter 14
Chapter 14: How’s He Doing?
In the letter, she learned everything about Tianci. His mother, Rong Qiyue, had been killed in a cruel way by some thieves in her room and Tianci had been poisoned dumb and abused by a maid.
She never thought that just a few days after her death, the ferocious Princess Huizhen cruelly mutilated Tianci!
A fierce fire emerged from Hua Qiyue’s eyes. Lv Xin remained silent, not daring to say a word.
"Wang… Thank you. " Hua Qiyue’s voice was a little husky. She had been entering the green jade gourd to cultivate the Qi Art at night these past few nights. She practiced so hard that even Tianpi, the handsome man, was surprised
She had to be strong to protect her son and avenge her parents.
"Miss…" Lv Xin called her softly. Hua Qiyue came back to her senses and the anger in her eyes was replaced by calmness.
"The thieves… were too cruel. The kid is pitiful. " Hua Qiyue’s eyes turned red. Lv Xin and Youshui thought that the Miss was soft-hearted and she felt sorrow for the boy. So, they tried to offer a few words of comfort.
"Miss, what’s happened has already happened. No matter how angry you are, you can’t change the fact that he’s become disabled. Could it be that Miss likes this child?" Lv Xin asked softly.
Youshui nodded, "I have seen this child. Although he was a bit thin and timid, he looked pretty. It’s a pity that he’d been poisoned dumb. If you like the boy, you can
Holding back tears, she had to remember that she was Hua Qiyue, not Rong Qiyue.
"Mm, let’ s have this child. Send his family some gifts and bring him back today." Hua Qiyue said calmly.
Youshui was surprised. She did not think that she was dissatisfied with the 300 to 400 children before, but she decided to have this one as soon as she got his information.
Perhaps his experience was so tragic that she stirred pity.
Youshui had the servants prepare a batch of presents. In Changjing Kingdom, the person who was going to adopt a child must give the biological parents some presents, usually 100 taels of silver, 100 pieces of cloths, 50 kilograms of rice and 50 kilograms of meat.
Youshui was worried. Even though the old lady had asked the Second Concubine to return the money they had pocketed from her, it was not enough.
The Second Concubine had gotten someone to make her clothes and taken a lot of money from her.
Hua Qiyue endured in silence. Anyway, their days were numbered.
Now they only had 159 taels of silver. They couldn’t afford the gifts.
"Miss … We don’t have enough money …" Lv Xin also knew Youshui’s difficulties.
Hua Qiyue smiled faintly and pointed at the Long Reds outside the window that were blooming in gorgeous flowers.
"Pick a flower and tell Butler Wang to sell it to the medicine store."
Lv Xin and Youshui’s eyes widened. Butler Wang was the husband of Nanny Wang. He was now her enemy. How could she trust him?
"Miss, Butler Wang is Nanny Wang’s husband!" Youshui reminded Hua Qiyue.
Hua Qiyue remained calm and a cold light flashed between her brows, "I know. That’s why I asked him to sell the herb. Lv Xin, just do as I say."
Lv Xin had no choice but to give the flower to Butler Wang and asked him to sell it to the medicine store.
Butler Wang had heard that Hua Qiyue had planted some strange things in the backyard after she had returned from the Hanyue Temple. Now, he was even more confused when he was asked to sell that strange plant.
The butler pretended to respect and obey her, but after Lv Xin left, he showed the herb to the Second Concubine.
The Second Concubine looked at the Long Red that looked like a human being and shook her head in confusion, "I don’t know what it is. Did you get it from that bitch? Could it be the strange thing she planted in her courtyard? "
