Chapter 12: 12. Checking the Truth

Third person POV

The maids clean up the table and left the hall. Only leaving the three of them. " Hong er, how is your life until now?" Bai Huiqing asked Hong er while gently holding her hand. " uhm, quite good." Hong er replied.

Bai Huiqing :" Where do you live before you come here? Where is your guardian?"

Hong er: " I live in a small village beside Thousands Beasts Forest with my granny. She died one and a half year ago. Since then I was a slave until this morning. I became a chef in there that's why I had some experience in cooking."

Bai Huiqing:" y-you were slaved?"

Hong er: " yes ma'am"

Suddenly a frightening aura come out from Bai Huiqing, the ground shook by its aura. A large hand hold her hand, she looked at Xu Tingfeng. Seeing his bad expression too, make her a little bit calm. The ground stop shaking.

Hong er: " Madam, are you okay?"

Bai Huiqing caress Hong er's hair.

Bai Huiqing: " I'm fine. You are a good child for worrying about me. What did they do to you?"

Hong er: " nothing special, they whipped me, flogged me, and beat me up. But I was lucky enough that I got to eat even if it was only once a day."

Hong er lean closer to Bai Huiqing's hand, ' uhm, it feels warm.'. Bai Huiqing's hand shook , the ground start to shook again but it is stronger this time. Xu Tingfeng was angry after he knew that she was slaved by those Bei Zhou. But after listening to what she had been through, he is furious. " My Lord! Madam!" A voice woke them up.

Bai Huiqing: " What's wrong Hong er?"

Hong er: " My Lord and Madam both have a very scary expression. So I thought that you were disgusted by me. I am sorry if I dirty this place with my lowly presence but please don't kick me out. I have nowhere to go."

Hong er quickly kowtowed and slammed her head on the floor for a few times. Xu Tingfeng and Bai Huiqing are shocked by her action. They immediately pulled her up and stopped her from slamming her head on the floor.

Bai Huiqing: " No, that isn't what we mean. We are just angry by how they treat you. And why would you think we will kick you out?! Don't ever slam your head like that ever again!"

Hong er: " Really? I can stay here?"

Bai Huiqing: " yes, you can."

Xu Tingfeng stood silently, not uttering a word like how he usually did. ' I WILL ANNIHILATE BEI ZHOU!' " My Lord, Madam." The physician from before bowed.

Bai Huiqing: " Why are you here?"

Shu Huatuo: " My Lord had ordered me to come after dinner time. As what I'm going to do, I still don't have any idea."

Bai Huiqing: " Why?"

Xu Tingfeng: " Uncle Tuo, please check her. She said that if someone look at her eyes, they will be contracted by a disease."

Shu Huatuo was shocked, is there a disease like that? He sit beside Hong er and checked her pulse. Right now Hong er is sweating, she is afraid that they will find out she is lying to them. After a while, Huatuo retracted his hand.

Shu Huatuo: " There is nothing wrong with her, she is as healthy as a normal person."

Hong er face paled, her life is done. Just after she found a kind master, she is going to die. She closed her eyes tightly.

Bai Huiqing: " Would you let us see your eyes?"

Bai Huiqing asked gently. Hong er opened her eyes and nodded. ' What is the use of protecting your eyes being gouged out when you literally going to die.' She sweep up her bangs and slowly open her closed eyes. She looked down, afraid of looking at their face.

But she was suddenly hugged by Bai Huiqing. She was too shocked that she can't move. ' I have not die?' then she look at Xu Tingfeng that have a shocked expression on his face. He couldn't hold his tears, he really found his daughter.

Hong er realized that the Madam is also crying. She patted Bai Huiqing's back with her little hand. ' What is Happening?'

After 30 minutes of crying, Bai Huiqing finally released her from her hug. She laughed after she saw Hong er's super confused face.

Bai Huiqing: " hahaha, maybe you are confused by this."

Bai Huiqing ordered a maid to bring a mirror. After the maid gave Hong er the mirror, she froze. This is the first time she see her eyes, granny only told her that she had a unique eye color. She touched her eyes. She had a golden eyes. The same golden as the General Xu.
