The General's Genius Daughter Chapter 57 Lusty Fellow

Five hundred years ago, he had spent a lot of time enjoying himself. Eating peanuts and chicken, and drinking bottles of wine, was part of his everyday life.

However, five hundred years had passed since then. Now, he gets excited everytime he sees these food items.

Seeing Tianpi eating his chicken like a starving man, Hua Qiyue sat on the side and plucked the flower of a ethereal herb to consume. "You seem like someone who hasn't had food for a thousand years! Can you eat slower?"

Tianpi lifted up his seductive eyes and sniggered. His charming personality had been replaced by that of a starving ghost.

"How can I not be hungry when I hadn't eaten anything so delicious for 500 years?"

"Please, you just ate some a few days before!"

Hua Qiyue snorted as Tianpi slapped his forehead. "Oh ya! I had forgotten, haha!"

At the same place, the sky was blue and the sun was bright in the mysterious world.

The magical medication was flourishing. A huge tree had grown taller, blocking the sun rays from above and leaving shadows behind.

Hua Qiyue enjoyed the warm wind and crossed her legs, cultivating quietly. However, before she was even ready, she got hit by a chicken drumstick thrown over by Tianpi.

"Master, what do you mean!" Hua Qiyue chided.

Realizing that his chicken bones had landed on Hua Qiyue's hair, he smiled apologetically. "Nothing, misunderstanding, misunderstanding! Oh right, that Prince Nan... is so annoying! How could anyone not know that Princess Piggy is framing you? He is so annoying to keep nagging on over there!"

Hua Qiyue raises his brows and smiled, her anger disappearing. "Why? Are you jealous, master?"

"What jealous? Qiyue, what does that mean?" Tianpi blinked his eyes and smiled.

Hua Qiyue was at a loss of words. She could not defeat this crafty man in a battle of words as he was truly impressive at that.

"Right, how did you get your Long Red discovered? That's an invitation for trouble in the future." Tianpi complained with dissatisfaction. "You have more precious medicine! If others know about it, they would be so envious!"

Hua Qiyue thought that he made sense. However, she still shook her head. "Master, you make sense. However, no matter what, some of the numerous Qi Artists here will know about it. We might as well tell the Emperor about it personally, getting an ally for ourself!"

Tianpi pauses and squinted. He could not help but agree with Hua Qiyue.

After all, with her circumstance, Tianci will not be able to recover so quickly if not for the medicine.

"Your objective is actually to tell everyone that you have a backing from a master. After all, not everyone will be able to obtain Long Red. In this case, even though the Qi Artists are desperate for your Long Red, they are afraid of your master, which is me." Tianpi smiled and exclaimed involuntarily. "If they knew the truth, they will be so disappointed. After all, I can't help you at all. If they knew about it, they will attack you at once!"

"You are right. However, they will never expect that my strong master is in this mysterious world. They must have imagined my master to be strong and mysterious. Hence, they would not dare to attack?"

Hua Qiyue smiled. It was precisely because of her plan that she allowed Long Red to be exposed in everyone's sight.

Tianpi had great admiration for this girl.

Hua Qiyue ignore Tianpi and Tianpi continued eating and drinking, glancing at Hua Qiyue only from time to time.

Her beautiful face bore a solemn expression. Cold sweat dotted her forehead as white mist swirled around her.

"Such determination and diligence, really... I do think that this is the most determine any woman had ever been in history!"

Tianpi finished the three chicken in no time. Caressing his round stomach, he sniggered and asked, "Disciple, walk around with your master? Your master is so full!"

However, the focused Hua Qiyue did not hear what he had said.

Standing up unwillingly, the corner of his mouth drooped. "Sigh, I am still so lonely with my disciple..."

Even though the matter of Princess Huizhen murdering Mrs Zhou was purposefully hidden by the court, some malicious individuals hid the information. The dramatic story swept the whole city and many were sympathetic to Mrs Zhou Rong Qiyue, a woman tortured to death.

Zhou Zhicheng was interrogated by Commander Wang but nothing came out of that conversation.

However, because Princess Huizhen wanted to protect Zhou Zhicheng, no one was able to arrest him without direct evidence and with only witnesses.

Zhou Zhicheng was removed as a suspect.

At that time, the pitiful Mrs Zhou, or Hua Qiyue, was having dessert with Tianci in her mansion. She was about to praise the chef's Lotus Bun when Butler Wang hurries there.

"First Miss, Mr Zhou is waiting for you at the hall. Today is the one month anniversary of the adoption of Tianci."

Butler Wang's reminder made Hua Qiyue raise her brows. She smiled lightly. "That's right. Ask him to wait for a while. Don't serve him tea first as I have good tea to treat him later."

Butler Wang agreed and left.

Hua Qiyue looked at Qiuyun lightly and waved for her to come over. "Qiuyun, come over."

Coming over, Qiuyun asked respectfully, "First Miss, do you have any request?"

Hua Qiyue ordered for Lv Xin to get herbal tea as Youshui brought Tianci to the study room.

Afterwards, Hua Qiyue ordered Qiuyun to do something. Qiuyun dares not reject her. After brewing the tea, she walked to the hall.

Hua Qiyue came to Fuxin Hall to invite Old Madame.

On her way to serve her tea, she met Hua Mengshi and her servant. Qiuyun's expression changed as Surou snorted, "Hmpt, even dogs today don't recognize their owners. Second Miss, shall we blind that dog?"

Qiuyun's face became extremely pale. However, she forced herself to be calm and bowed to Hua Mengshi before passing by silently.

Hua Mengshi looked at Qiuyun coldly as she thought of her loss that fateful night. She wasn't furious at Qiuyun for betraying her, as she would not have lost so embarrassingly.

"They will all have retribution. There is no need for us to worry." Hua Mengshi Shi smirked. Now that she was crowned as Princess Jinghua, she held a much prestigious position than her, making Hua Mengshi hateful and jealous.

Hearing that, Surou stared at Qiuyun with jealousy.

Hua Mengshi smiled coldly. Now that Hua Qiyue was prestigious, every servant wanted to flatter her.

Sorou must have felt the same way.

Hua Mengshi took out a pound of silver from her sleeves. "Sorou, you worked hard these days. My mum and I are not well off now and we can only reward you one pound of silver."

Sorou was surprised. Even though she appeared to decline the offer, she still accepted it in the end. No one would complain about having too much money, and Sorou's betryal intent was extinguished.

Zhou Zhicheng was waiting patiently inside the hall of Hua's Mansion when he saw a servant in plain clothes came in. That servant looked pure, especially so in plain clothes.

Zhou Zhicheng glanced at Qiuyun more. Even though she was pure, she was not even one tenth as pretty as Hua Qiyue.

Now that the Princess had been punished by death, he had escaped the penalty. Even though he did agreed to the assassination of Rong Qiyue, he didn't actually participate in the planning and the execution of it.

"Please wait first, Mr Zhou. My lady had some matters to attend to and will be back shortly." After serving tea, she said respectfully.

Zhou Zhicheng nodded slightly as he examined the hall. Even though Hua's Mansion was the mansion of a general, it wasn't extravagant. It was because that Hua Liping was not a greedy man. He was loyal to the Emperor and could not be corrupted.

In Hua's mansion, the legitimate daughter Hua Qiyue was notorious. However, the sudden crowning of her by the Emperor as Princess Jinghua made all envious.

Zhou Zhicheng forever remembered the three meetings he had with Hua Qiyue. Each one of it was extremely fascinating.

Now that the Princess was gone, he need not worry and was free to chase Hua Qiyue.

Qiuyun stood at one side, examining this handsome Zhou Zhicheng. She suddenly smiled and looked at Zhou Zhicheng's surprised eyes with her seductive ones.

"Mr Zhou, First Miss ordered for me to pass you a sentence." Qiuyun explained, her secretive look made Zhou Zhicheng excited.

Qiuyun walked in front of him and suddenly tilted her body. Her soft body fell into his chest, shocking Zhou Zhicheng.

Qiuyun pulled his collar and blushed. "Mr Zhou, why did you molest me?"

Zhou Zhicheng was angry and frightened. Qiuyun had fallen onto him and he could not be the one who attempted to molest her.

However, he did subconsciously hug Qiuyun. In the eyes of others, it did seem that he was molesting Qiuyun.

"Please respect yourself, Miss!" Zhou Zhicheng was shocked and wanted to pull Qiuyun away. However, she pulled her collar and screamed, "Agh! You pervert, I'll kill you, kill you..."

Zhou Zhicheng stood up at once and pushed Qiuyun on the ground roughly. Outside the door, someone shouted, "Outrageous bastard! How dare you molest the servant of Hua's mansion!"

Cold sweat trickled down his forehead as he heard the accusations. Raising up his head, he could see Old Madame and Hua Qiyue entering the room. They were all staring at him as if he was a monster.

Qiuyun fall on the ground, her clothes in a mess and her collar slanted. Everyone could see her jade white shoulder.

Seeing Old Madame Hua, Qiuyun adjusted her collar and cried out loud. "Old Madame, First Miss, please help me... Mr Zhou wanted to molest me as no one was around, and you had all seen that... Ooo, how can I get married now?"

Hearing that, Zhou Zhicheng became anxious and shouted, "Old Madame, don't listen to this bitch, she threw herself into me..."

More swear trickled down his forehead as he seemed to have created more misunderstanding the more he explained the situation. That's terrible as he wanted to please Hua Qiyue here, not expecting such a misunderstanding to occur.

Old Madame's face was cold and gloomy as Hua Qiyue's brows tightened. "You accused her of throwing herself into you? Mr Zhou, you are not properly dressed and had acted like a monster, leaving such a disgusting mark on Qiuyun's neck..."
