The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

As soon as Hongxiu left, Qingmei murmured in dissatisfaction:

"Miss, do you really want to go?

The old lady is not your real grandmother, and you also didn't let me tell the master and the head of the family how much the old lady usually goes too far.

Why are you following her like that..."

Old Madam Liu Mei was my grandmother’s distant cousin. My grandmother took her in because her family was in trouble and she had no one to rely on.

After entering the mansion, he has been cautious and has little sense of existence.

No one cared that there was a new cousin in the house.

On the seventh day after my grandmother’s death, my grandfather was so sad that he got drunk.

When I woke up the next day, I saw Liu Mei huddled in the corner of the bed, trembling, hugging her knees and crying silently. I thought I had mistaken my cousin for my lover because I was drunk.

He was suddenly filled with ashamed, but things had already happened and he had no choice but to marry Liu Mei.

Because he didn't want to disappoint Madam Yuan, he arranged Liu Mei to live in another courtyard and never set foot there again.

Unexpectedly, that very night, she became pregnant with Hua Wu Ke's second uncle Hua Jingqian.

I used to think that the second branch of the family was always the relatives of my grandfather and father, and thus my own family.

Although the old lady always made things difficult for me, it was not a big deal, so I didn't want to tell my father, fearing that my father would have to worry about me on the battlefield.

Unexpectedly, his tolerance concealed the true face of the second wife and caused a disaster.

To do it again, Hua Wu Ke decided not to sugarcoat the truth anymore and take this opportunity to dampen the old lady's arrogance.

Hua Wu Ke sat in front of the bronze mirror, watching Qing Lan insert a hairpin for him, and said slowly:

"Since the old lady misses me so much, it's okay for me to go and see her. It just so happens that I miss the people in the second house..."

Qinglan heard her young lady mention the second room in a tone that was different from usual intimacy and looked at her in confusion.

But he didn’t ask any more questions.

After all, she also hopes that the young lady will stay away from those people with bad intentions.

Qingmei, who was standing next to them, didn't understand Hua Wuke's deep meaning and curled her lips.

Dejectedly, he repeated what Hua Wu Ke had said before:

"The old lady is an elder, and the orders of the elders must be obeyed. The second house is a relative, and the family must live in harmony... But young lady, you are still injured..."

"No one except my confidants in the mansion knows that I was injured. If I don't go, won't the second wife be able to make up stories about how unfilial I am?

This time, I want to let her know that even though my father and brother are away all year round, I, Hua Wu Ke, will not let her control me!"

Hearing these words, Qingmei and Qinglan raised their heads, widened their eyes in disbelief, and looked at her in surprise.

Hua Wu Ke stood up, turned around and looked at the two of them, unable to hide their happiness that he could no longer endure it.

A calm smile appeared on the corner of her mouth:

"Don't worry, I have tolerated them for so long, I won't let them bully me anymore."

Hua Wu Ke, wearing an eight-piece Xiang skirt with a moon-white and green background, a pair of flying phoenix hairpins on her head, white jade earrings, and a pair of glazed emerald bracelets on her fair wrists, walked out of the courtyard.

The general's mansion has three courtyards, and in the middle is Xuerong Hall, which was named by my grandfather after my grandmother. My grandfather Hua Zhukong lived there.

On the right is Jiaming Hall, which is the courtyard of the main house.

Because my grandfather loved my father and Hua Wuke and his sister, and my father Hua Rongyu and my brother Hua Wujing were both military generals, there was a martial arts training ground in the yard, which was the largest of the three yards.

Second uncle Hua Jingqian didn't like martial arts when he was young. When he got older, he found a civil service job and now lives with the old lady in Jinghua Hall on the left.

Hua Wu Ke and her maid crossed a rockery and covered bridge and arrived at Jinghua Hall.

Inside the room, the old lady was in the middle, Hua Fuyue and her mother, the second lady Sun Ruhui, were on the right, and Hua Fuying was on the left.

Hua Fuying is the daughter of Aunt Lin Siyu, and Aunt is not qualified to pay respects to the old lady.

The family was having a meal, and no one took the initiative to pay attention to Hua Wu Ke even though they knew he was outside the door.

After Hua Wu Ke paid his respects to the old lady, he sat down opposite her without waiting for her to speak.

After all, in the previous life, the old lady didn't respond at all to his greetings.

After waiting for a long time, he knelt down and admitted his mistake under the "reminder" of Nanny Hongxiu.

He asked the old lady to forgive him for not being able to come and pay his respects a few days ago due to illness.

The old lady then slowly put down her chopsticks and asked her to stand up as if she was doing a favor.

The old lady didn't expect that Hua Wu Ke would sit down on her own and not give her the chance to make things difficult for her.

He put down his chopsticks unhappily and looked at Hua Wuke with a frown:

"The third young lady is really becoming more and more unruly. How come she doesn't even admit her mistake after not coming to pay respects for a few days?"

Seeing the old lady couldn't wait to put the blame on herself for being unruly and disrespectful to elders.

Hua Wu Ke sneered in his heart.

I wanted to find an excuse to punish myself again, but this time it wasn't so easy:

"Wuke has been in a coma for the past few days and just woke up today. He gets dizzy easily when he moves.

The doctor originally told me not to go around, but Wu Ke thought that etiquette should not be abandoned, and since the old lady wanted to see me, I might as well come."

As the elder in the family, the old lady must have known that Hua Wuke had been injured and bedridden for so long.

Now that he knew his grandson was injured, it would be fine if he didn't show any concern or ask anything, but he is still blaming him for not coming to pay his respects.

It's really unacceptable.

Since the old lady wanted to ignore the injury and say that she didn't know etiquette, she said that the old lady was unkind and didn't care that the young man was injured and asked others to come and pay their respects.

With just one sentence, he retorted to the old lady's criticism.

Seeing that her mother-in-law was at a disadvantage, Sun Ruhui sneered and said:

"Third Miss is too weak. Our Second Miss was attacked on the same day as you. She has never missed a day to pay her respects."

The old lady smiled and looked at her daughter-in-law approvingly, praising her:

"My Yue'er is so filial. She came to see me, her grandmother, even when she was hurt."

Then he glanced at Hua Wu Ke and said in a sarcastic tone:

"Unlike the third lady, the third lady is precious~"

The so-called injury of Hua Fuyue was just a little shock. There was not even a scratch, let alone a knife wound.

After all, I tried my best to protect my second sister at that time.

Looking at Hua Fuyue, whose face was ruddy and didn't look sick at all, Hua Wu Ke pretended to ask:

"This is also my own fault. I was injured while trying to save my second sister, so I was unconscious for several days and couldn't come to pay my respects. My second sister is naturally the most filial.

But why didn't you even look at your sister? "

Seeing Hua Wu Ke implying that her granddaughter was ungrateful, the old lady was immediately unhappy:

"We are all family, there is no need to talk about saving or not saving. As a younger sister, do you really want your frightened sister to come and see you in person?"

Hua Fuyue was spoiled by the old lady and the second lady and was used to being arrogant and domineering. She never wanted to be outdone, and even less wanted to be suppressed by Hua Wuke.

He was rude and ruthless, and snorted at Hua Wu Ke with a pout:

"I don't need you to save me!"

Hua Wu Ke did not intend to respond to this. After all, although Hua Fuyue was brainless, Sun Ruhui was not stupid.

"Yue'er!"

As expected, Sun Ruhui stopped Hua Fuyue from speaking in a stern voice.

When she thought about the fact that the youngest daughter had already reached marriageable age, her own daughter was already old enough to meet a man.

If today's words were spread by the talkative servants, his reputation of being ungrateful to his sister for saving his life would spread.

A girl's good reputation is worth more than gold.

My daughter must not be described by others as an ungrateful and ungrateful person.

Sun Ruhui hurriedly glared at her disappointing daughter, then turned to Hua Wuke and gave him a kind smile:

"What are you talking about, Third Miss? Yue'er was just frightened.

After finally calming down a little, she insisted on coming to see you, but I thought that the third girl was still in a coma, and it would be bad if Yue'er disturbed you and affected your recovery.

When you weren't here just now, I knew you woke up and immediately told me that I wanted to go see you, my third sister."

Everything he said showed that he was thinking only of Hua Wuke.

If it were my previous life, I would have agreed too.

But now that he knew the true face of the second wife, Hua Wu Ke was too lazy to even give her a perfunctory expression.

Seeing that Hua Wu Ke had no reaction, Sun Ruhui cursed this little bitch in her heart and pinched Hua Fuyue's arm under the table.

Hua Fuyue felt pain and felt very unhappy.

But he also knew that his mother was angry so he didn't dare to act rashly. He could only pout and thank Hua Wu Ke reluctantly.

He said thank you, but turned his head and looked away, without even looking at me.

Hua Wu Ke did not say anything, but saw Hua Fuying, who had been silent all this time, clasping her handkerchief with her fingers.

He lowered his eyelashes slightly and glanced at Hua Fuyue timidly.

Even though he was very scared, he still spoke up for Hua Wu Ke, and said softly:

"Second sister, it's right to think so. Third sister really shed a lot of blood to save you..."
