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.
Chapter 65: It's all her fault!
Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Just moments after Huang Yue Li left, Bai Liu Jing whipped his body around. With a loud 'pa', he gave Bai Ruo Qi a slap.
"Father! You....."
Clutching her cheek, Bai Ruo Qi could not react.
She was the most favoured daughter of Bai Liu Jing. She had never been hit by him before.
Who would have imagined that Bai Liu Jing would take his anger on her. Furthermore, he did not offer an explanation before landing that slap.
Bai Liu Jing was immensely angered by Huang Yue Li, but had no method to release it. When he turned around and saw that pig-headed daughter of his, he slapped her in a fit of anger.
In the past, the more he saw the more he liked her. But now, just looking at her made him disgusted.
"It's all because of you! If it weren't because of your loose mouth with Yan'er, how would she be able to alert that damn girl of the key? Now that she become this powerful should all be because of Elder Brother's inheritance!"
Even in his dreams, Bai Liu Jing dreamed of obtaining those treasures. He had been stuck in the Ninth Level of the Defensive Profound Realm for many years already. He was hoping to find a pill within those treasures and hopefully be promoted to the Spirit Profound Realm!
With that increase, he would become on the of the powerhouses in South Yue. He would no longer need to spend his days in fear over the happiness and moods of the Emperor.
He didn't expect that Bai Ruo Qi would leak the news out. Halting his grand plans!
Not to mention how many properties and treasures Huang Yue Li had asked him to return! Such heavy losses!
If it weren't for the fact that Bai Ruo Qi could not reconcile with Huang Yue Li, how could be possibly be blackmailed by that girl?
Prostrating tearfully, Bai Ruo Qi said: "Father, this truly was not daughter's fault. It was all due to Fourth Sister's loose tongue, she definitely heard of the conversation between mother and I! It's all her fault!"
The burning flames of anger, burned even more ferociously within Bai Ruo Qi's heart!
It's all because of Bai Ruo Li, that cheap slut!
She was clearly a wastrel, yet beat her to such an ugly appearance! She also dreamed of becoming the Crown Prince's Imperial Consort!
If Bai Ruo Li were to end up in her hands, she would suffer a fate worse than death!
...
At the Manor entrance
Bai Ruo Yan was currently in the midst of an argument with the Manor Madam's confidante, Mama Liu.
"Move aside for me! I want to see my father! I don't believe that my father would drive me away from the Manor! There is definitely someone working from the shadows. Let me see my father, so I can explain everything to him!"
Putting in a false smile, Mama Liu said: "Fourth Young Miss, the Master already said he no longer wants to see you again. Why don't you obediently go to the farmstead and not lose anymore face for the Manor!"
"Not possible! How can my father not want to see me? Then I want to see Second Sister! Second Sister will definitely help me!"
Just was Huang Yue Li was leaving, she happened to see the exchange between to the two parties. Watching this, she smiled from amusement.
Looking at her blankly, it took Bai Ruo Yan sometime before she recognised that person.
Soon afterwards, she stormed over. In a fit of anger, she raised her hand and slapped towards Huang Yue Li!
"Little slut! It's all your fault! What demonic technique did you use on me, making me act like that? Now you are pleased? I'll beat you to death!"
With a light move her foot, she kicked a stone right under Bai Ruo Yan's foot.
Stepping on the stone, Bai Ruo Yan lost her equilibrium and fell heavily onto the floor.
Furthermore, she landed in a sprawled position!
Giggling, Huang Yue Li said: "Ai, Fourth Younger Sister I know that you feel very grateful towards me. But there is no need for you to go to such lengths to express this. You make your elder sister embarrassed to accept it!"
