The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

The old lady was like crazy. She slammed her cane on the ground and shouted:

"Someone come! Someone come quickly! Get these two crazy women talking nonsense out of here!"

According to the calculation of the date, Hua Jingqian was clearly born prematurely, but when the baby was pulled out, it turned out that Hua Jingqian was not full-term.

What this means is self-evident.

At this time, the servants in the room lowered their heads in fear, not daring to even breathe, let alone pay attention to her.

Seeing that the people from Duke Dingguo's Mansion could not be persuaded, the old lady instructed Hongxiu to teach the two old ladies a lesson.

Hongxiu also understood the current situation. She thought that Hua Wuke had already investigated the matter clearly and even found out that the adulterer was the kneeling steward.

Asking the old lady to come here was just to confront her.

Hua Jingqian has fallen, and the old lady has done such a despicable thing. Hong Xiucai would not be stupid enough to stand on her side until now.

She immediately fell to her knees.

"I also remember that the old lady had frequent contact with the chief steward in the month before she became pregnant. It would have been fine if it was during the day, but she even did not avoid suspicion at night."

"I didn't think much about it at the time, but now it seems that I'm afraid this matter has something to do with the steward!"

Jian Hongxiu actually betrayed her at such a critical moment. She was so angry that her eyes were bloodshot and she raised the cane in her hand and hit Hongxiu.

Hongxiu was beaten so hard that she rolled on the ground.

Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly chaotic, Hua Wu Ke signaled his servants to quickly hold the old lady down and stop her from going crazy.

Hua Zhukong stared coldly at the old lady who was forced to kneel on the ground and Hua Hua Yuzhong who had remained silent:

"At this point, what else do you two have to say?"

Hua Yuzhong no longer had any time to struggle and just said something in a low voice.

"Damn slave."

The old lady finally realized that she could no longer cover up what she had done. She waved her hands to break free from the servant who was holding her, collapsed on the ground, and started laughing crazily.

"Hahaha, you didn't expect that, Hua Zhukong, I have been humble and subservient to you for so many years, but you actually dared to mess up the bloodline of your Hua family."

After laughing crazily, she became furious again, staring at Hua Zhukong and yelling at him:

"You forced me to do this!"

"I thought it would be my turn to be the general's wife after Wu Xuerong died, but you refused to touch me even when you were drunk! You would rather spend the whole night thinking of a dead person's face!"

"Otherwise I wouldn't have resorted to such a desperate measure and let a dog slave touch my body!"

After hearing the old lady's angry curse, Hua Zhukong actually felt less angry.

It turned out that that night was just a lie told by Liu Rumei, and he did not let his deceased wife down.

The guilt that had been weighing on his heart for years suddenly dissipated, and Hua Zhukong felt a lot more relaxed.

"In that case, from now on, you and Hua Jingqian will no longer have any relationship with our Hua family."

Now that the matter has been clarified, no matter how the old lady curses, it will be of no use.

Considering that Hua Yuzhong had followed him for so many years, Hua Zhukong did not send the two men to the government, but simply had them thrown out.

The old lady, however, had no shame at all and made a big fuss at the gate of the mansion, causing passers-by to ask what had happened.

It would have been fine if she had gone crazy in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, but the old lady just couldn't bring herself to do it in front of so many common people, and she got in the carriage back to the Hua Mansion with a gloomy face.

Soon, the news spread slowly in the capital and reached Sun Ruhui's ears.

When Sun Ruhui learned about this, she was so shocked that she could hardly hold her teacup.

"Is this true?"

Chuntao looked at her with wide eyes and nodded quickly.

"It's absolutely true, ma'am. It's spreading everywhere."

No wonder the old lady looked so unhappy when she came back. She ignored me when I saluted her and just left with a dark face.

After solving the problem of the old lady, Hua Wu Ke felt much better.

The matter was resolved so smoothly thanks to Ye Buhuo who sent people to find the two old ladies.

There happened to be a lantern festival at night, so Hua Wu Ke asked Ye Bu Huo to go out for fun together.

There were secret guards accompanying them, so in order not to attract attention, the two of them did not bring guards. Only Ye Yi and Qingmei Qingzhu followed behind them from a distance.

The two of them shuttled through the crowd, and Hua Wu Ke sighed:

“This lantern festival is really lively.”

Ye Buhuo agreed.

"It's cool and pleasant in the summer evenings, so naturally everyone wants to go out for a walk."

When passing by a stall selling lanterns, Ye Buhuo noticed a little tiger lantern.

The little tiger opened its mouth, revealing two small fangs, and had round eyes. Although it was a ferocious beast, it had an indescribable cuteness.

Like a coquettish cat.

Ye Buhuo found it interesting and bought it from the stall owner.

He held the lantern and placed it next to Hua Wu Ke's face, so that the little tiger and Hua Wu Ke looked at him side by side.

"Sui Sui opens his mouth."

Hua Wu Ke didn't understand what was going on. He just stared blankly with his eyes open and his mouth open.

Ye Buhuo looked between her and Little Tiger for a few seconds, then said seriously:

“It’s exactly the same.”

Hua Wu Ke suddenly closed his mouth and glared at him.

"You said I was a tigress?"

He was clearly praising her for being as lovable as a tiger cub, so how did he bring up the tigress?

Ye Buhuo handed her the lantern and explained helplessly:

"That was not what I meant……"

Hua Wu Ke took the lantern and snorted.

"Humph, a tigress is a tigress. If you dare to mess with me in the future, I will bite you like a tigress."

Ye Buhuo followed her words.

"Well, even if I don't provoke Sui Sui, Sui Sui can still bite me."

"..."

"Sui Sui, do you want to guess lantern riddles?"

Hua Wu Ke shook his head.

She has been competing with Hua Jingqian and Ye Chuji in wits and courage all day long, so today she wants to do something that doesn't require her brain.

Walking around and following the crowd, I soon reached the river.

Hua Wu Ke had a small tiger lantern bought by Ye Buhuo in his hand. He didn't want to put it into the river, so he turned around and went to the restaurant on the shore.

This was the time when the place was busiest with guests, so Hua Wu Ke didn't think about asking for a private room and just sat in the hall.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Ye Yiyi took out his badge, the shopkeeper arranged a room for him.

"Yoichi's waist badge is so useful?"

Ye Buhuo said calmly:

"This restaurant is owned by Prince An's Mansion."

Hua Wu Ke was shocked to find that any restaurant he entered was his property.

I knew Ye Buhuo was rich, but I didn’t expect him to be so rich!

The room is on the third floor, next to the river. Sitting by the window, you can feel the cool river breeze blowing across your face.

Hua Wu Ke closed his eyes and felt it carefully.

Then he raised his lips slightly and said happily:

"Hmm, I smell the fragrance of lotus!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Buhuo gave her an amused look, then pushed a stack of plates that the waiter had just brought towards her.

Hearing the noise, Hua Wu Ke opened her eyes, and then saw a stack of lotus-shaped pastries in front of her, faintly emitting the fragrance of lotus.

Ye Buhuo suppressed his smile and spoke seriously.

"Yeah, I smell it too, the aroma of lotus cake."

"..."
