Fierce Consort with Tyrant’s Lavish Love - C21
“Why aren’t you coming over!”
Hua Zhan Yuan’s anger started to rise, and he glared at Hua Jin Ge angrily, “Come over and greet our grandmother!”
He hurriedly lowered his head. With a pale and trembling face, he walked up and violently kowtowed to the dignified elder.
Until her forehead was cracked open and fresh blood flowed out, no one called her to stop.
“Look at that silly look on her face when she was kowtowing. She doesn’t even know that her forehead is bleeding. What a fool!”
On the side, Hua Zhan Yuan’s four women, Hua Pian Qian, laughed in disdain.
In his disdain, there was jealousy.
She was born from Hua Zhan Yuan’s concubine, Yuejie, and as Washington’s Four Miss, she was only half a month younger than Hua Jin Ge.
“Heh heh, that’s not the case.”
When Hua Pian Qian said this, all the other s sitting beside her covered their faces and laughed, unrestrainedly taunting Hua Jin Ge who was still kowtowing.
But it was precisely this kind of fool that had to marry the Southern King. With a single leap, he would become the Southern Princess, and from now on, he would forever trample all over this group of people.
What right did she have to have such a destiny?
As they mocked him, the sisters’ faces were filled with rage and hatred.
“Daddy, doesn’t Sister Miss hurt?”
Just as no one stopped, and Hua Jin Ge still continued to kowtow mechanically, a young and tender voice that was different from the other sounds of ridicule sounded, and was transmitted into her ears.
“Father, tell Miss to stop. I, Central’er, love this Miss sister.”
As though seeing that no one responded to her words, the tender voice spoke once again, with hints of pleading in it.
“Mother, Ge Er’s head is already full, I should wake her up.”
Finally, a deep voice sounded from the right. It was Hua An Jiu’s voice, which Hua Jin Ge remembered.
It was just that, what mistake did Hua Jin Ge make, what did he mean by “enough kowtows”?
Hua Jin Ge was puzzled, but then he heard the old and heavy voice that slowly sounded above his head after that sentence: “Since that’s the case, stand up.”
It was the old lady from the Hua family. Her voice was filled with an icy coldness.
He ordered without any emotion.
As soon as she finished speaking, a maidservant hurried over and placed a table and chair at the very end of the room to the right.
That was where she sat.
After Hua Jin Ge heard this, he stopped his head from hitting the ground anymore, allowing the blood on his forehead to flow down and cover his eyes.
Could it be that things had really changed for the better?
Why did the people that Hua Xi Er was familiar with become like this?
To her, to the dead Hua Xi Er —
“Evil creature, Grandmother told you to sit down, why aren’t you sitting down?”
Seeing Hua Jin Ge not sitting down for a long time, Hua Zhan Yuan became flustered and exasperated, the hypocritical mask was completely torn off, and he roared at Hua Jin Ge with wide eyes.
“Hehe, old master, you are just a little fool. Why are you arguing with a fool? Mother will definitely know that I won’t fuss over it with a fool, right, Mother?”
At the end of Hua Zhan Yuan’s words, an enchanting and beautiful woman sitting beside him stretched out her slender jade fingers and tried to persuade him, purposely emphasizing the word “fool”.
Qiu Shui’s beautiful eyes were filled with emotions as they swept past Hua Zhan Yuan’s body. When his gaze fell upon the dignified elder’s body, his originally enchanting smile immediately changed into a brilliant attempt to curry favor with Hua Zhan Yuan.
“Mother came from Lin County’s Buddhist Hall. The journey was arduous, and today, Second Sister was sick and could not wait any longer. Littlemoon had already ordered the kitchen to prepare Mother’s favorite food. Someone —”
“Enough!” Just as Yuejie was about to continue blabbering and show off, the old man sitting on top of the high seat interrupted her with a cold laugh.
“This Hua family is not for you to decide on a concubine.” As the old lady spoke, her tone was cold and harsh, as if millions of sharp swords were shooting towards Yuejie.
Yuejie did not expect the old Madame to say this and was stunned.
“Men, bring me the food I prepared.”
Seeing the Yuejie’s green face, the old Madame did not care at all. Her hawk eyes swept across the group of people in the hall who did not even dare to breathe loudly.
Hua Jin Ge lowered his head, but felt that those ice-cold eyes seemed to be lingering on his body.
After the old Madame gave her authoritative command, maidservants filed in, serving rice and a stack of pickled vegetables to each table.
That was all.
Seeing this, Hua Zhan Yuan’s face “shua” instantly turned white.
White rice was originally a tribute to the dead. The pickled vegetables were also pitch-black, giving off a sour stench that one could not identify.
“Old master, this —”
Yuejie had always been pampered in the Washington, so how could she have eaten this before? Seeing this, she frowned in disgust and scolded Hua Zhan Yuan in a low voice.
Hua Jin Ge sat stiffly on the small stool. In his lowered eyes, he could only see the bowl of water placed in front of him.
He found it hilarious.
Water rice was something used to offer sacrifices to the dead. Now, the old Madame was offering it to these people for a feast, the meaning behind it was obvious.
The old lady had loved Hua Xi Er the most in the past, and now that she was not even buried in the ground, how could she possibly humiliate at the Washington’s luxurious banquet?
When Hua Jin Ge thought about this, he couldn’t help but want to raise his head, but was intimidated by the powerful light that quickly swept over him, causing him to no longer dare to move an inch.
Hua Zhan Yuan clenched his teeth and looked at Hua Jin Ge with anger.
It was as if Hua Xi Er was dead, and Yun Qing Shan was also dead.
“Why aren’t you doing anything? Do you need me to feed you one by one?”
Seeing that these people looked disgusted and did not even move their chopsticks, the anger on Old Madame’s face grew even more.
The cold voice was like a sharp sword, causing the group of people to not dare to resist and they could only raise their chopsticks.
“Mother, your son has something to say!”
This kind of meal was obviously the old lady slapping her own face without her realizing it, making it impossible for Hua Zhan Yuan to eat it.
He slammed his chopsticks on the table but didn’t dare to offend the old lady. He stood up and cupped his hands, about to speak.
“Are you going to eat or not? Have you forgotten everything I taught you in the past?”
The old lady picked up the bowl of rice with her chopsticks and placed it into her mouth, not even bothering to raise her eyes to look at Hua Zhan Yuan’s actions. Her voice was cold and heavy, “If there’s anything you want to say, just say it after eating.”
The simple words completely cut off Hua Zhan Yuan’s thoughts of quibbling.
Hua An Jiu coldly snorted from the side as he looked at him. He did not say a word, but in the next moment, his gaze landed on Hua Jin Ge.
Hua Jin Ge was looking at Hua An Jiu, and when their gazes met, he lowered his head anxiously, as if he was burned, and used all his strength to place the bowl of water in his mouth.
His reckless eating caused his clothes to be everywhere. Hua Jin Ge really looked like a fool.
After the old Madame released the rule of never saying anything, the banquet went on in an exceptionally quiet manner.
However, this silence did not last long before it was interrupted by a reckless shout from outside.
