Chapter 241 - 241 ignoring him

241 ignoring him

Nanny Gong wanted to say something to Zhai Heng but seeing the gloomy and sunken face of his, she did not dare to say anything. She has heard that the eldest son of the Dowager Empress was born on the day when the ill star was shining brightly in the sky and his birth caused a lot of trouble for the Dowager Empress which was why he was not treated well by the Dowager Empress and was sent away by her.

The plan of sending Zhai Heng away of course came from Liu Dong Ming who thought that his ill fate was bringing disaster to the Liu family given that as soon as he was born, the Emperor brought another concubine who was already pregnant back then, it could be said that the Liu family had a hard time getting rid of that concubine and her child in the past.

Even though Zhai Heng did not say anything to the Dowager Empress nor did he try to avenge himself, one could say that he was not close to the Liu family and even hated them. So, when she met Zhai Heng’s gaze, she was a bit startled and immediately turned her eyes away from him, what was more the scar that ran up at the corner of Zhai Heng’s lips was never sewed close causing his mouth to be a bit wider than other.

Because of this even though he was handsome, he often scared others.

” Your —— my lord, we will stay here but if you need something please call us,” Nanny Gong did not have any strength nor was she strong enough to go against Zhai Heng but if it was for the sake of saving Liu Hui Ying then she was going to fight this big beast to death!

As she thought about this, she puffed up her chest and looked at Zhai Heng with an unfriendly gaze, warning him not to even think about going against her mistress, she was just a bit short on telling him not to even think about bullying Liu Hui Ying other than that her stance was very clear.

Zhai Heng raised a brow when he saw that Nanny Gong was actually looking at him with an unfriendly look on her face, he, of course, found out that the two people who were following Liu Hui Ying were none other than her maid and Nanny, after all even though Liu Hui Ying’s appearance was hard to catch on, Nanny Gong and Qui Ai’s was not as good as Liu Hui Ying’s which made it easier for someone like him who was trained in martial arts to know that the two were none other than Liu Hui Ying’s followers and the remaining confusion vanished when he saw how protective they were regarding Liu Hui Ying.

He nervously licked his lips because of the fact that the corner of his mouth was slashed a bit longer than others many were scared of him, but he wasn’t even surprised when he saw that nanny Gong was actually so scared of him…after all, he did look a bit terrifying, if not then he wouldn’t have stayed unmarried for so long.

No young miss wanted to marry him, as he thought about this, he turned to look at Liu Hui Ying and think, ‘ Was she scared of me as well?’

.....

The thought caused him to be unsettled in a very weird way.

Liu Hui Ying understood that nanny Gong was trying to protect her which made her feel both awkward and happy. The number of people who wanted to protect her could be counted on one finger and she would be lying if she said that except for her sister, no one has ever tried to be protective of her, with that thought her smile turned a bit more genuine as she looked at Nanny Gong and said, ” Don’t worry, do you think that he can even bully me?”

Nanny Gong looked at Liu Hui Ying who was as tiny as a pixie and then looked at Zhai Heng who looked like he was a monster who descended from the mountain, she wanted to nod but then she thought about how Liu Hui Ying was very capable of protecting herself and didn’t say anything but she still narrowed her gaze at Zhai Heng who raised his eyebrows and looked at the woman with knitted brows.

Why does she keep glaring at me? He was not happy with the continuous glares but there was no way he would be willing to fight with a woman who was old and couldn’t even withstand his strength which was why he did not say anything and simply pursed his lips and acted as if he couldn’t see the glares that were pointed in his direction.

…

Liu Hui Ying left nanny Gong and Qui Ai behind to guard the doors while she walked inside, she did not care about Zhai Heng who was following her inside. He already knew about her powers which was why she did not need to hide anything from him—— calm as a cucumber she walked inside the room where Liu Fei Fei’s body was kept after she was pulled out of the pond and ordered, ” Jia Li, do your thing.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Jia Li has been waiting for this moment, the second Liu Hui Ying asked her to start her investigation, she walked into the centre of the room and then pulled out her kit from the space that only belonged to her. The kit that she used to investigate a case was very simple ——a white metal box that had no particular difference but the things that were inside it were totally different from normal investigation tools.

These things were what Jia Li discovered when she was young and had a lot of free time, the first thing in her investigation kit was ‘tracing powder’ it looked like a normal white powder when it was kept inside the small glass bottle but in truth, it was a miraculous thing and if its report was published on time when Jia Li was still alive then she would have been awarded a noble prize!

Because the second she picked it up and sprinkled it all over the floor, footsteps that were as old as a day started appearing right in front of the eyes of others causing Zhai Heng who was behind Liu Hui Ying to gape in shock at the sight in front of him.
