240 Zhai Heng wants confront Liu Hui Ying

” Let them be,” Liu Hui Ying did want to send the two back but she knew that they will not listen to her which was why she decided that she will not say a thing to them, in case she asked them to leave there was a chance that the two might actually follow her silently and that will only get them into more trouble it was fine as long as they were with her, she wouldn’t have to be worried about them getting involved in trouble where she would not be able to save them.

” At least tell them to be silent, they are talking so loudly…if someone was to hear them then they will know that you are the one who is dressed as a man,” Jia Li too did not want to send the two women back but they were chattering so much that she could not help but remind Liu Hui Ying, she didn’t like the idea of being captured and executed at all which was why she chose to warn Liu Hui Ying.

” You are right about that——” but before Liu Hui Ying could warn Qui Ai and Nanny Gong to keep quiet, she noticed that the two of them have gone silent on their own and were now looking at the front with scared looks on their faces.

Seeing them act like this Liu hui Ying frowned before she turned to look at the person who came to stand in front of them as soon as they reached the courtyard that belonged to Liu Fei Fei and her frown deepened only further when she saw that the man was none other than Zhai Heng.

” What are you doing here?” Did this man has something to do with Liu Fei Fei? If not then why else was he visiting her courtyard after her death? If only Liu Fei Fei has followed her instead of going to look for Zhai Tianyu, she would have asked her.

” I am here to help you in investigating, your majesty,” Zhai Heng replied stiffly as he looked at the woman who was standing in front of him, he did not say anything to Liu Hui Ying but one could see that he was slightly hostile towards her, in fact, the way he was clenching and unclenching his fingers made Liu Hui Ying think that he was actually thinking about whether or not to squeeze the life out of her.

Seeing this Liu Hui Ying narrowed her eyes and then took decent steps away from the man as she stated firmly, ” Don’t even think about attacking me, I will get you to scream for your mommy before even your tips of fingers touch me, you understand?”

As she spoke, she turned to walk inside the courtyard wondering why the Emperor sent this man after her, was he trying to make her uncomfortable because she refuted him last night or something?

Zhai Heng who was threatened before he could even ask Liu Hui Ying the questions that he wanted to, was stunned. He did not even say anything and that woman was already threatening him! Just what did his brother see in this woman for him to go against the Ji family?

.....

There were a bunch of things that Zhai Heng wanted to say and he was expecting Liu Hui Ying to even question him but contrary to his expectations the woman did not even glance in his direction much less about him about his intentions for coming here, throughout the entire time while they were walking inside the courtyard, she kept on ignoring him like she could not be bothered by him at all!

Liu Hui Ying has always been very clear about her actions towards others, the only reason she was less than willing to deal with Zhai Tianyu was that she could see that the man did not have anything against her at the moment, at least he was not as hostile as Zhai Heng who looked at her like she owned him something.

But towards people especially men like Zhai Heng who was doubtful and suspicious towards her actions, she would not bother her breath on them. She has been there once and there was a time when she literally screamed the truth out while brawling her eyes out that she was not the one who was behind the murder of her sister but no one believed her.

In fact, they have called her tears fake saying that she was just acting, pretending to be naive and innocent when she was in reality a woman who was dangerous. So dangerous was exactly what she became after letting go of her tears and the softness of the woman she had in her heart …it was surprising to see how many people called her out even then saying that she was finally willing to show her true self.

Not even knowing that it was because of them she was like this.

Liu Hui Ying understood the fact that for others, the truth was only the one that they believed in and nothing more, no matter how much you cry and shout as long as the others were not willing to believe it, you will always be a liar.

She could sense that Zhai Heng did not care about her nor did he trust her, so why will she bother herself by listening to him or much less even paying attention to him?

” You two stay here,” she turned to look at Qui Ai and Nanny Gong when she reached the crime scene, she did not want the two of them to receive another shock when they see her working with ghosts and she could also sense that they were a bit nervous in the presence of Zhai Heng, not wanting to cause them any more discomfort, she asked them to stay behind.

She was greedy and cruel, yes but to people who cared for her, she was naturally very nice to them.

Nanny Gong wanted to say that she was going to follow Liu Hui Ying inside when she heard Zhai Heng say, “Fewer people should go inside, where the murder spot is, lest the clues get messed up.”
