Chapter 63: You are fit to become the Crown Prince’s Imperial Consort?
Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Ignoring Bai Ruo Qi's murderous gaze, Huang Yue Li turned her attention back to Bai Liu Jing.
"Look at that Second Uncle. Did I not say that the matter of Second Sister being hit is not related to me in any way? She has admitted it herself, so there should not be any more problems with me?"
What more could Bai Liu Jing say?
He knew that Huang Yue Li was aware of the key, and was afraid of alerting her of anything more. As a result, he could only continue to act oblivious and hope to gloss over the leak that Bai Ruo Qi made.
"Li'er ah, this was Second Uncle's fault. But you secretly meeting with men outside is not correct. You are still a conferred Region Princess. If news of this were to spread out, even the Emperor himself would lose face! Worst case, he might strip you of your title!"
Huang Yue Li's thought this was laughable, lips curving.
Want to use the Emperor to scare her? This Second Uncle of hers is really short sighted.
In her previous life, even the Lord of the South Sky Region would treat her with extreme deference. Say nothing of a measly South Yue, who was but a tiny country in the South Sky Region?
This so-called Emperor, she did not put him her eyes.
Purposefully she smiled: "Many thanks for Second Uncle's reminder! Since you are not searching for anything, there is no need for me to move! The Manor's Back Courtyard is where I grew up. If I were to move and unable to accustom myself, I might might say the wrong things. There is also the possibility I might secretly come back. If this were to be misunderstood by others that Second Uncle was treating me badly, how bad that would be!"
Hearing those words, Bai Liu Jing's face turned steaming red from anger!
This damn girl really was not the same!
If it were the previous her, she would have long been scared speechless and obediently complied.
But now, she clearly saw through all his motives and was evidently threatening him.
If he were to forcibly drive her away, this girl would go around spreading malicious rumors. Ruining the name of the Manor.
And if those rumors were to reach the Emperor's ears.....
Biting his teeth, Bai Liu Jing replied: "Good! You are old now and your wings have hardened. Your Second Uncle can no longer control you! Since you do not want to take shelter from the wind, you cannot blame your Second Uncle if you cannot be married off!"
"Then I won't trouble Second Uncle for his worry. Afterall, I am someone who has a verbal engagement with the Crown Prince. Who knows, I may wed into the Royal Family and become the Crown Prince's Imperial Consort?" Huang Yue Li lightly replied.
Just as she finished her words, Bai Ruo Qi uncontrollably cried out.
"You sure dream well! On what basis...…...want to become the Crown Prince's Imperial Consort?"
Calmly, Huang Yue Li answered her: "Why can't I? My father was a famous and the strongest person in South Yue. While I am a Region Princess whose title was personally conferred by the Emperor! Even when I was young, the Emperor mentioned marriage between the Crown Prince and I! If I cannot become the Crown Prince's Imperial Consort, who can? Could it be you, Second Sister?"
"You! Don't always think about the past! The current master of Valiant Martial Manor is my father! Also, do you think that the Emperor will allow the Crown Prince to choose someone whose is a cultivation trash as his Imperial Consort? The Crown Prince is a mighty Fifth Grade Talent, who would definitely need to choose a female of similar talent as he is to match him. A trash like you...….don't think about soaring your entire life!"
"Looks like Second Sister has some intention towards the position of Imperial Consort...…..determined to win!"
"Oh, of course! Apart from me, who else can match with the Crown Prince?"
"Qi'er!" Interrupting them, the Manor Madam cried out, "Don't speak anymore!"
Startled, Bai Ruo Qi finally reacted. Under the provocation of Huang Yue Li, she had said all the things which had kept secretly within her!
If those were words were to be heard by those within the Royal Palace, it would be great disrespect!
Hastily she shut her mouth. Clamping down hard, she glared hatefully at Huang Yue Li.
Presently, Huang Yue Li confirmed the motive behind this mother-daughter pair's accusation of her of illicit relationship. It was all due to the position of Imperial Consort.
Chapter 64: Demanding back the estates
Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
She no longer wanted to waste anymore time in the manor filled with evil-hearted people. Placing the teacup down, she stood up.
"Second Uncle, the time is no longer early so I will first return! But I still have a task to trouble you with."
Finishing, Huang Yue Li took out a piece of paper that was filled with small words.
Knitting his eyebrows together, Bai Liu Jing asked: "What is this?"
Pronouncing each word clearly, Huang Yue Li replied: "This is list of my father's private properties and items in my mother's dowry. I will trouble Second Uncle to look over it."
"What is your intention?" Bai Liu Jing's facial expression shifted.
Smilingly, Huang Yue Li said: "Second Uncle, since I was young in age, I asked you to look after the estates and properties that my mother and father left behind for me. But my heart would not me feel to feel at peace. How can I continue to trouble you? Now that I am older, if I were to allow Second Uncle to work hard like this, people will say that I am unfilial!"
"You....."
He did not expect that today's visit of Huang Yue Li was for this. She even prepared a written list, waiting to meet him!
He was leading a wolf into the home!
Though her words were nice to listen to. The sarcasm that mocked him for bullying his niece due to her young age to possess her property was heard very clearly.
If he was not willingly to return it, was she prepared to cause a large fuss?
With great difficulty, Bai Liu Jing steadied his emotions and said: "Li'er ah, your intention, Second Uncle understands. But this is not something that can be done in one or two days. I must take time to calculate everything clearly and accurately before handing everything back to you. What do you say?"
Very quickly he decided to stall for time. He will first stabilise his position with this girl, before slowly refuse to admit anything.
Afterall, she was just a girl who had yet to experience society. The management of the properties was not an easy task, she would understand anything. When the time came, he would transfer all the money away and send her an empty statement. She wouldn't be able to find a way out!
Huang Yue Li long expected he would say this. Smiling, she didn't refute his words.
"Since it's like this, then do not worry about any changes. I ask that Second Uncle send a compiled list of all the properties to my back courtyard within three days."
"This.....don't be so hasty. The storehouse needs to make in inventory of all the treasures and the like..."
Smiling: "Second Uncle, I forgot to tell you. The items listed on the list were all bestowed by the Royal Palace. If the Empress were to ask me of the those bestowed items when I enter the Royal Palace in a few days, I would be committing a grave sin if any were to be missing! Second Uncle, you wouldn't dig such a pit for me?"
Bai Liu Jing was stunned for quite awhile.
Forcibly possessing items bestowed by the Palace would definitely result in conviction from the Emperor. He could only return that portion to her.
But the things that Bai Liu Feng left behind, how was he to know which ones were Palace bestowed and which wasn't? Didn't he still have rely on Huang Yue Li's word?
If she said they all were, he wouldn't be able to tell the difference!
But what if the few items he did not return were the bestowed items, wouldn't he be leaving a handle for her to grab onto?
And coincidentally, all the things that Huang Yue Li listed were priceless and invaluable. Forcing him to give them up so easily, really made him want to spit blood! The pain was equivalent to slicing his flesh away!
Bai Liu Jing forced out a smile: "Okay, Second Uncle will do his best to sort things out and send it over for you!"
"I shall give my thanks first Second Uncle!"
Completing her objective, Huang Yue Li waved her hands and walked out. She ignored Bai Liu Jing's fiery gaze.
