The useless second daughter of the Hua family

Chapter 162 Gambling

The Regent's unconcealed gaze made Wu feel like a prey.

"Your Majesty, please sit down."

Mrs. Wu suppressed her emotions. Now that she was a mother of three children, she could no longer be so reckless, and she could not let this man find an opportunity to take advantage of the situation and make things difficult for the Hua family.

"We don't have any good tea at home, so please don't despise it, Your Majesty."

"No, the tea you brew is very fragrant."

Not to mention tea, even if Wu casually scooped out a bowl of water from the puddle on the ground, he would probably drink it with pleasure.

The two men sat opposite each other, their moods forming a sharp contrast.

"Finally you stopped hiding from me."

"I haven't done anything wrong, why should I hide?"

"Yes, it's all my fault."

He wanted to apologize, but Wu didn't want to hear it.

"I'm married, so naturally I have to stay at home to take care of my husband and children."

Her tone was calm and her expression was natural, but Xiao Zheng felt a tightness in his chest.

"You and him...you really...you shouldn't be so angry with me."

Wu chuckled, "Your Highness, what you said is ridiculous. The master and I already have two children, and you still think I'm angry with you?"

"Impossible! I know Miaomiao is my daughter." Xiao Zheng said with certainty.

Even though she had learned from Hua Niaoniao that Xiao Zheng had misunderstood her, Wu couldn't help but feel angry when she heard that the background of her benefactor's child was slandered.

"Xiao Zheng, are you crazy? What nonsense are you talking about? Miaomiao is the daughter of the Hua family!"

Seeing her angry, Xiao Zheng felt more confident. If he hadn't been right, why would she be so excited?

"When you left, you were obviously pregnant. That child must be Miaomiao, right? I've seen her. She's as kind and lovely as you."

"Don't dream. Do you think it's possible for me to keep the child of my enemy?"

The hatred in Wu's eyes was so obvious. She hated Xiao Zheng's deception, hated her own stupidity and weakness, and hated him for appearing again to disturb her peaceful life. She had tried her best to convince herself to let go of the past. She finally came out and got together with the master. They had two sensible daughters and now a son. And this scoundrel shamelessly showed up and tried to ruin everything.

Her disgusted look made Xiao Zheng panic. Even when she was imprisoned, the rage in her eyes had never made him feel as cold as it did now. Now she only hated him, not resentful, and seemed to have really let him go.

Xiao Zheng couldn't accept such an outcome. In this life, he only loved her and only her, and he never thought of letting go.

His expression changed and he turned back into the calm and self-possessed prince.

"Chan'er, I feel guilty about what I did to you back then. I know nothing I say can change things, but I will try my best to make it up to you and your daughter."

Wu heard that he was not going to let her go, so she slammed her hand on the table, stood up, pointed at the regent and asked, "What on earth are you going to do?"

Xiao Zheng was unmoved. He raised his head slightly and told her calmly, "I said, I just want a family reunion. I will take you and Miaomiao back to Beijing."

Wu couldn't help but slap him. Hua Miaomiao was her bottom line, and no one could touch her. She gritted her teeth and said to him, "I warn you, don't touch my daughter."

Xiao Zheng tilted his head, touched his teeth, and felt the blood in his mouth. This slap was really merciless.

He stood up, grabbed Wu's hand, and pulled her in front of him regardless of her struggle.

"Come with me. No one can stop us now. I will make you the most noble woman in the world."

"You're just a complete lunatic."

"If madness can allow me to have you, then I don't mind being a madman. If hegemony can allow me to have you, then I don't mind being a villain that everyone hates."

Hua Miaomiao, who was outside the door, saw that the situation was getting out of control. She was worried that her aunt would suffer. Just as she was about to break in, she heard Wu continue to say, "You are so sure that Miaomiao is your daughter, but now you dare to gamble with me? If it is proven that she has nothing to do with you, please don't bother our family again in the future."

The Regent looked at Wu's confident expression and began to waver.

"If you don't dare, forget it. Your Majesty, please stop deceiving yourself and insist on snatching the daughter of the Hua family."

After hearing what she said, the regent laughed. Was she playing tricks on him? She was pretending to be real and pretending to be fake? He would not be fooled.

"Okay, I accept it."

Hua Miaomiao didn't expect Wu to come up with such an idea. The regent's suspicion and arrogance doomed him to failure. She shook her head in amusement, and her hat brim hit the wooden door.

"Who's outside?" With an angry shout, a gust of wind blew the door open. Hua Miaomiao took two steps back and managed to stand firm against the pillar.

"The Imperial Master is also in Hua Mansion? Is he sitting here, Shang Jing?"

Huh? Hua Miaomiao looked down at herself. Well, with her loose clothes and gauze hat, and her fat body that looked even wider and stronger, it was impossible to tell whether she was a man or a woman. At this moment, she was leaning against the pillar on the corridor, and it was hard to tell whether she was standing or sitting. Add to that the auspicious cloud silver chain that represented her identity, and it was no wonder that the regent recognized the wrong person.

She didn't know whether to be sad that her figure was androgynous, or that her height had been mistaken for that of a sitting woman.

Seeing that there was a way, Pi Fu pinched her neck. Hua Miaomiao screamed in pain. She was startled by the sound. Wasn't this the same voice as Axue's?

Hua Miaomiao understood instantly and decided to go with the flow.

She cleared her throat and imitated the imperial teacher.

"If the prince can come, why can't I come?"

As soon as she said this, Hua Miaomiao regretted it. Was this obvious smell of gunpowder trying to provoke a fight? She was careless and couldn't control her emotions.

The regent was somewhat wary of this mysterious imperial master. Although the imperial master had few followers in the court, his reputation was very high, and no family dared to make enemies with him, fearing that he would need help from others one day. He was currently maintaining a neutral position in the court, and he did not want to have any conflicts with him.

A while ago, I heard from a spy that he and Hua Miaomiao seemed to have a good relationship. Could it be that he was here for the banquet this time?

Both sides were guessing each other's thoughts and no one spoke for a while.

When Wu saw that it was Ge Qinglan, she went up to greet her in a familiar manner. Hua Miaomiao hadn't been home for several months. She wanted to know about her situation, but she had to avoid the regent first.

"Why are you sitting here? Aren't you used to the noise in front? Why don't you go back to your room first and I'll have someone send some wine and food over."

Xiao Zheng and Hua Miaomiao were both shocked when they heard this.

Xiao Zheng didn't expect that the Hua family was so familiar with the national teacher, and whether he would interfere with his affairs.

Hua Miaomiao was sweating profusely. How could she walk? If she moved, she would be exposed.

"It is fate that we can meet like this. How about I drink a few cups with the Imperial Master?"

"Thank you, no!" Hua Miaomiao blurted out, and felt that her tone was still too harsh, so she added as if to make up for it: "I am not feeling well, thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."

The regent could see that he was just making excuses, but he felt there was no need to expose him. He had been sitting there motionless since the beginning. Was he injured? If that was the case, he would have fewer concerns.

He deliberately wanted to test the Imperial Master, so he stretched out his hand to grab him, but Hua Miaomiao dodged it deftly.

"What's the matter?"

"I have some knowledge of medicine, and I want to help the Imperial Master." He stretched out his hand again.

"No need!" Hua Miaomiao waved her sleeves. Maybe it was because of her impatience, but this time she used her spiritual power with such force that a small tree next to her fell down.

Uh... Hua Miaomiao looked at her aunt apologetically. This loquat tree has been planted for several years and will bear fruit tomorrow.

Fortunately, the regent was frightened by this and he no longer wanted to test him. In his opinion, the imperial master showed his power to intimidate him. He was afraid that he had heard the conversation in the room and was deliberately standing on the side of the Hua family. However, he had waited for so many years, and no one could stop him.

"Since the Imperial Master is ill, you should have a good rest. I will stay in this city for a few more days, and we will talk again when we have time."

After saying this, he left quickly. The guards withdrew from the Hua Mansion and returned to hide in the dark.

Hua Miaomiao heaved a sigh of relief after making sure he had left, and Hua Niaoniao walked out from the darkness. She was frightened by what she saw just now, this girl was too bold.

Hua Niaoniao slapped Hua Miaomiao on the brim of her hat and said unhappily, "Can you make me worry less?"

Wu looked at the two of them in confusion, "What are you doing..."
