Fierce Consort with Tyrant’s Lavish Love - C20
The night was eerily dark.
Inside Washington’s main courtyard.
Underneath the signboard, a pair of couplets were hanging on both sides of the door.
This short and deep couplet was carved into the door frame with a seal.
He placed three pieces of wood on top of it and then applied some golden powder on it.
After so many years, her charm hadn’t changed in the slightest.
The words were the same as before and the wutong house was still the same. However, the person now was no longer the same person.
Hua Jin Ge stood at the door, raising his head to look at the familiar scene, his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
The wutong house was where the Old Master and the Old Granny of the Washington lived.
After the Old Master passed away, the Old Granny was not at home for many years, thus the wutong house became a wasteland, with the occasional servants entering to clean it up, leaving behind no trace of life.
In front of the wutong house, Hua Jin Ge’s gaze swept across the extremely dignified door.
Each brick and tile, each grass and tree, each person and each person. This was a scene that was extremely familiar, but it made her heart sour and she didn’t dare to reply.
Because all of these familiarities belonged to the Hua Xi Er of the past.
But now that Hua Xi Er was dead, and she, was Hua Jin Ge, even if her memories were to roll back and forth, she could only suppress the emotions in her heart and not let it show.
“Third Miss, don’t be afraid. The old lady is waiting inside.
By the side, when Chen Shu saw Hua Jin Ge standing at the entrance of the wutong house, and raised his head to look, he was probably afraid.
“Today is the Washington’s family banquet, all of the palace’s concubines and Miss s have come, but this old lady is only thinking about Third Miss.”
At the end of the day, after the Old Master passed away, the Old Madame’s personality greatly changed, and his love for the two children in Madame did not change.
Hearing Chen Shu’s words, Hua Jin Ge looked like a startled little cat. He lowered his head, and with a pair of big, watery eyes, he nodded.
But in his heart, he was ridiculing the other party.
Family banquet?
They remembered that all of the Washington’s splendor and wealth were obtained by Hua Xi Er fighting to the death on the battlefield. They had enjoyed it in vain for so many years, so it was time to bring it back.
However, the people of Washington did not care about what Hua Jin Ge thought, it was just that she did not understand, could it be that the old lady who loved Hua Xi Er as if she was her daughter, was also like this?
Could it be that time has really changed and things have changed?
Hua Jin Ge’s eyes reddened, and the fear on his face made him look extremely weak.
As she walked behind Chen Shu, she was like a frightened little rabbit. Her beautiful face was flickering in and out of the light of day, causing people to feel uncontrollably tender towards her.
“Third Miss, it’s right inside. You can just go in like this, and the kind old man sitting right next to the door is the old lady. You must remember, you must pay your respects to the old lady.”
Chen Shu said, and taught Hua Jin Ge in great detail how to pay respects to the old lady. At this moment, Hua Jin Ge felt that he was hallucinating.
That was, she had nothing to do with this Washington, and the only thing that she had to do with this Chen Shu was to constantly tangle fate with him.
Hua Jin Ge didn’t know why he was so good to his, but she could guarantee it.
One day, when she, Hua Jin Ge, became an expert amongst men, she would definitely repay him for the kindness Chen Shu had shown his today by countless times.
No matter if it was his previous life or his current life, these were Hua Jin Ge’s rules.
Of course, she could remember kindness, and naturally could not forget hatred as well.
In her previous life, for the rest of her life, she would make all those who owed Hua Xi Er and Feng Qiyue a debt ten thousand times the price she paid get them all back.
“Third Miss, did you remember that?”
Chen Shu spoke for a long time, but he was simply introducing the people who were sitting at the banquet to Hua Jin Ge, and how Hua Jin Ge should pay his respects to them.
Now that she was about to marry the Southern King’s girl, no one taught her these etiquette.
If she made a fool of herself in front of those branch families, and those people with broken mouths spread these news to the Southern King, he was afraid that the Southern King would even more despise the Third Miss.
Thinking to this point, Chen Shu’s heart ached, he wished that he could tell Hua Jin Ge everything he knew.
However, she couldn’t do anything as Hua Jin Ge was a fool. After Chen Shu had said so much, she didn’t shake her head or nod her head, but only used her bright and intelligent big eyes to look at Chen Shu. There was a smile on her face.
He didn’t know if he understood or not.
“Third Miss, no matter what, you must sit by the old lady’s side after you enter. Don’t worry, the old lady will definitely protect you.”
After Chen Shu finished speaking, he moved aside, indicating that Hua Jin Ge could go in.
As it was a family banquet, he, a steward with another surname, did not have the qualifications to sit at the table.
“Thank you.”
The final response Hua Jin Ge gave Chen Shu was these three words.
Thank you.
She was sincerely thanking him, and she promised that his kindness today would definitely be rewarded in the future.
Sure.
No matter how shocked Chen Shu was by the very normal sounding word “thank you”, Hua Jin Ge clenched her delicate fists tightly and walked towards the center of the hall with firm steps.
The great hall of wutong house was brightly lit.
A bright Night Pearl hung at the top of the great hall, shining brightly and illuminating the entire room. However, it caused the person’s appearance to become extremely pale and lose all signs of life.
Hua Jin Ge walked into the great hall’s main hall, and received the baptism from the gazes of the people from both sides.
Amongst them, there were those who were disdainful, those who were mocking him, those who were jealous, and even those who felt pity for him.
Aside from an old man with a dignified and solemn expression, who sat at a high position in the center of the hall, the left and right sides of the hall were also filled with men and women.
Hua Jin Ge’s gaze turned into a timid peep as he looked at the people sitting in the hall.
This time, the feast was different than before.
In the past, the family feast would only be the ginseng feast of the Hua Zhan Yuan Clan, and most of the time, all the masters above Washington, other than Yun Qing Shan and her, could participate.
But this time, the feast consisted of two types of ginseng from Hua family.
Hua Jin Ge searched through the memories in his mind for information about the Hua Clan’s genealogy book.
He knew who the middle-aged man sitting on the right was. He was dressed in plain clothes, but his imposing and heroic face was filled with grief.
He was Hua Zhan Yuan’s brother, the former eldest son of the Hua Family, Hua An Jiu.
He was known as the Ninth Master of the Hua Clan.
Because he was injured by a girl when he was young, he swore to never marry nor have children, and he didn’t inherit the position of Prime Minister of the family either.
It wasn’t that Hua Jin Ge had never seen Hua An Jiu before. On the contrary, her relationship with this uncle was extremely close.
Because back then, when Feng Ye Yang had yet to ascend the throne, Hua An Jiu had once sent a letter to Hua Xi Er, telling her to leave at an appropriate time, because she didn’t want to miss out on a life time just for someone that wasn’t worth it.
Furthermore, during the marriage between Hua Xi Er and Feng Ye Yang, he was the only one who opposed it in the entire Hua Clan.
Using his words, when Feng Ye Yang was drunk, he did something wicked to her. He should have been cut into a thousand pieces, but he wanted Hua Xi Er to marry him down, which would harm Hua Xi Er for the rest of his life.
Back then, Hua Jin Ge had treated him well, and Hua Jin Ge engraved this in his heart.
Now that he thought about it, he felt somewhat comforted. In this world, there were many people who truly loved him.
