212 Scheme

” You must be jealous of my missy!” The nanny whose grief was beyond control glared at Liu Hui Ying. She forgot in her sadness that she was just a servant who did not have any power in front of Liu Hui Ying or anyone else standing in the room but she was the one who raised Liu Fei Fei ever since she was a young girl, she was a widow who lost her husband when she was very young which was why she did not have any children and this was why she poured all of her love on Liu Fei Fei.

Now that the girl whom she treated as her daughter was dead how can she not be upset? How can she not cry? This girl might be a nobody for those who lived in the Liu family and the Emperor but for her, she was her entire world. Without Liu Fei Fei, how was she supposed to stay alive?

” Nanny Cheng, watch who you are talking to!” nanny An who was coaxing Nanny Cheng till now immediately changed her countenance when she saw that the latter was shouting at the Empress, she understood that Nanny Cheng was suffering the most upon seeing the death of Liu Fei Fei but that did not give her the right to scream at Liu Hui Ying who was the Empress.

Can she not see that the Dowager Empress’s facial expressions were changing? She was courting death by shouting at the Empress right in front of Liu Hui Ying after all she was still the legitimate daughter of the Liu family while Liu Fei Fei was nothing but an adopted daughter, how dare she raise her voice in front of the Dowager Empress and that too at the Empress?

Nanny Cheng too realised that she seemed to have overstepped her boundary but she still defiantly looked at the Empress like she was hoping that the woman will die here and now in front of her.

Seeing Nanny Cheng act like this Liu Hui Ying sighed while Liu Fei Fei on her side let out an arrogant scoff, it was as if she was certain that Liu Hui Ying will now have to help her without asking for money. But Liu Hui Ying would never help anyone without anything in return which was why she calmly looked at the Dowager Empress who was staring at the corpse with a complexion that was slowly turning purple.

” Your majesty, do you think that I will kill Concubine Liu?” Instead of panicking she calmly placed her thoughts into words and then began speaking, she knew that at this moment she did not have the time to scold the nanny who was yelling at her, if she did that then she would simply waste her time which was why she did not get angry instead she blinked her dewy eyes and then looked at the Dowager Empress without even the slighted frown.

” I will admit that she and I did not get along with each other since she always bullied me,” her words caused both Nanny Cheng and Liu Fei Fei who were standing beside her in her ghostly form stiffen as she turned to look at Liu Hui Ying who was looking at her with a hidden smirk.

‘ Ruthless, this woman was simply ruthless she was actually going to ruin the reputation of even a dead woman!’ Liu Fei Fei scolded Liu Hui Ying who was standing beside her.

” But that does not mean that I will kill Concubine Liu, after all, there is no need for me to get jealous over her. His majesty dotes on me and I am also the legitimate daughter of the Liu family…and even if I did not have such things, I am sitting on the throne of the Empress do I need to do something foolish like this?” Liu Hui Ying explained everything that she was thinking in her head before she turned to look at Nanny Cheng who was looking at her with confusion as if she was finally thinking straight.

” As for the note if we think carefully, as nanny Cheng said she just went to look for something to drink for Liu Fei Fei and she hardly left her alone for less than fifteen minutes, if that is the case then Nanny Cheng did you leave a paper, brush and grounded ink with Concubine Liu?” Liu Hui Ying hurriedly started to state all the evidence that she could use to make herself get out of this situation. ” Or was there any ink that has been grounded last night?”

” No there was no ink left, my missy wrote a letter to her father earlier this week and she did not write anything else,” Nanny Cheng replied now that she has calmed down, she could think straight.

Liu Hui Ying was the Empress there was no need for her to do something like this, if she wanted she could have always asked the Liu family to take care of Liu Fei Fei instead of coming to the courtyard and pushing Liu Fei Fei herself and even if there was a feud between the two sisters, her missy knew that she was an abandoned chess piece, if she dying in the hands of Liu Hui Ying then she would have died silently.

When Liu Hui Ying heard that Liu Fei Fei did not write anything for a week, she heaved a sigh of relief. It was a good thing that Liu Fei Fei was an idiot and was not a nerd like Ji Yu who busied herself all day long while doing calligraphy and drawing, if Liu Fei Fei was second Ji Yu then she would have had a really hard time to explain this situation.

” Then was Concubine Liu capable of grinding the ink stone in just a mere twenty or twenty-five minutes?” She further asked nanny Cheng who looked confused but shook her head as she replied, ” No, Missy has been raised with all sorts of comforts and servants, she did not even know how to grind an ink stone.”
