The General's Genius Daughter

Hua Qiyue faintly raised her eyebrows and said, “Not only our Third mother but our Second mother will also come.”

Youshui was scared and asked, “No way! Would the second mother come here?”

Lv Xin looked at Hua Qiyue in surprise. In their impressions, the second mother had always been proud, not as good as the third mother, who conducted herself in a proper way. How could she come?

However, Hua Xiyue was right. Just after she finished her words, there were footsteps outside. Soon the second mother came in with Hua Mengshi and two maids.

Nanny Luo was standing beside Cheng (the second mother), there was a big box in her hands. Her face was respectful without any dissatisfaction.

“Yo! you don’t have dinner until now! Qiyue, we are here to apologize to you.” Cheng said with a faint smile. Hua Mengshi’s face lowered. No one could see her expression.

Hua Qiyue smiled and asked her maid to take seats for them.

“The second mother, you’re too kind. How can I, a junior, let you personally make an apology?” Hua Qiyue replied with a faint smile. She did not become anxious at all because of the second mother’s behavior.

Cheng was secretly surprised. It seemed that she really looked down upon Hua Qiyue, who had to hide her capacities and bide her time. She was really cunning.

Hua Mengshi was not willing to come before, but after she was reprimanded by Cheng, she came here with her mother. Now she was lowering her head with a hint of disgust and dissatisfaction in her eyes.

“Let me recount what had happened. Qiuyun, the maid who had served Mengshi, had some bad thoughts. She unleashed a black dog, trying to Long Red flowers in your yard. I’m to blame for this. We had beaten Qiu Yun 20 times with heavy bamboo. Therefore, we sent the painting of Eight fine horses to make our apologies to you.” Cheng said carefully. As she was saying, she was observing Hua Qiyue’s expression.

Nanny Luo quickly opened the big red box, and then they smelled a touch of fragrance.

Su Rou, the maid of Hua Mengshi, quickly took the famous painting out.

The painting sage was a famous celebrity in Changjing. It was said that he had made one painting a year for ten years. After that, he did not paint any longer.

His paintings are so beautiful and vivid that even the emperor specially asked for his paintings, but the painting sage were mysterious. Few people had seen him.

Why did the second lady have such a painting?

That was because the second lady’s family had made great contributions to the emperor, so the emperor gave Cheng’s family this painting as a reward.

Later, Cheng married into Hua’s mansion, Hua Liting had made many contributions. Cheng’s father gave the painting to Hua Liting.

Nowadays, Hua Liting was guarding the frontier, so the second lady had the right to deal with the things in Hua’s mansion. However, although the painting was given to Hua Qiyue. If someday her father or the Old Madame needed the painting, she had to return the painting.

Cheng played a small trick on the gift of apology. Hua Qiyue quietly took a sip of soup. There was a faint smile on her face.

The taste of the Long Red ginseng soup was too strong, and Hua Mengshi could not help but stare at the bowl of soup. There was a shocked look flashing in the eyes.

The Long Red Flower was a magical medicament. She did not expect Hua Qiyue to make some soup with this flower. A branch of flower, mind you, was worth 2.5 tons silver!

Instantly, Hua Mengshi was full of dissatisfaction and anger. Why could Hua Qiyue live such a luxurious life?

There were a deep hatred and bitter jealousy in her heart. She was going to kill Hua Qiyue.

That bitch had to be killed. Otherwise, she would definitely become the most beautiful lady in the capital. Hua Mengshi’s premonition was often 99.5 percent right.

The moment Su Rou opened the painting, they saw eight akhal-teke horses lifting their front paws. They did not hear any sound, but that scene was so vivid that the horses seemed to be real, and they seemed to be running on the green grassland with long flying bristles. They were free and willful!

Four of the horses were reddish-brown, and the others were white. The colors were bright and dazzling, which seemed exaggerated, but they gathered all the attention!

For the first time, everyone saw such a good painting, and they all looked at it with wide-open eyes. Their eyes were full of amazement.

Hua Qiyue was calm. She said with a smile, “This painting was really understanding and immersive.

Lv Xin and Youshui glanced at each other, and came out together and carefully took the box.

“Thank you so much, the second mother. We have some Long Red ginseng soup here. It can nourish the skin and blood. Let’s drink it, what do you think? The second mother and the second sister?”

Hua Qiyue was happy. Cheng felt that she should be so happy because she got the treasured painting. This gift was just the right one.

“That’s good, First Miss is so kind! We don’t know how does the Long Red Flower taste. Now thanks to First Miss, It’s my honor to taste it!” Cheng replied with politeness and kindness.

Hua Mengshi raised her head and there was a smile on her face. She looked very happy and sincere. “Yeah, big sister, it’s my honor to taste the Long Red Flower soup. Thank you very much, big sister.”

These people were saying grateful words, but Hua Qiyue understood that they just went through the formality.

However, she laughed without subtlety. Hua Qiyue was a person who sought revenge for the smallest grievance. If she found out the person who dared to shoot her, she would never let him go.

Now was the time to introduce them into her game!

Hua Qiyue ordered Youshui sent two bowls of Long Red Ginseng chicken soup. There was a bigger smile on Hua Mengshi’s face and she became more respectful.

The Second Madame, Madame Cheng, was relieved. What he feared most was that Hua Mengshi would reveal herself. Now it seemed that she worried too much.

Hua Mengshi put the bowl to her lips, gently sipping at the soup, and suddenly a fragrant was full of her mouth. The soup was sweet but not greasy, mixed with the taste of chicken, which led her to endless aftertastes

Tianci looked at Cheng and her daughter. The little guy was small, but he noticed the disgust in Hua Mengshi’s eyes, so he sprinkled a small number of things into the bowl of soup.

Hua Qiyue noticed his every move.

There was a big smile on Hua Qiyue’s face, and she did not stop him.

Tianci held the bowl of soup and stood up at once. Lv Xin and Youshui looked at the little guy in confusion.

The little guy came to Hua Mengshi with a smile, carrying that bowl of soup. He then handed it to her.

Hua Mengshi was stunned, and the second lady immediately smiled and said, “Tianci is really sensible. Mengshi, since he likes you so much, then you’d better drink it!”

Hua Qiyue also smiled politely. “Yes, the second sister, Tianci is very obedient. If he likes someone, he will do this for him. You’d better not let him down.”

Hua Qiyue knew clearly what the second lady was thinking. After all, the Long Red ginseng chicken soup was not something that ordinary people could drink. Therefore, the second lady hoped Hua Mengshi drink some soup to strengthen her body, and thus her Qi Art could be improved faster.

“In this case, forgive my rudeness. Thank you, Tianci, I like it very much!”

Hua Mengshi smiled and took the half bowl of soup. Tianci was smiling but there was a satirical look in his eyes.

Seeing that, Lv Xin and other maids felt disdain for the Second Lady and her daughter. The little guy had only half a bowl of soup, but they were going to brazenly drink it!

The soup was so sweet, so Hua Mengshi unguardedly took a sip without after taking the bowl of soup.

“Cough, cough…” Hua Mengshi suddenly coughed up. She only felt that her mouth was full of spicy taste. She was so hot that she was blushing, tearful, and her tongue was numb.

“Mengshi, what are you doing? Why are you so hurried? Take your time!” The second lady did not know what happened and quickly said with a smile.

Tianci smiled unkindly, spit out his tongue, and happily returned to the side of Hua Qiyue.

Poor Hua Mengshi was so hot and tearful but did not tell anyone that was because of the spicy soup.

Because that soup had been all drunk by her, and the bowl had been taken away by a maid on her side.

“The second sister, take your time. There was still some soup here. but this time you’d better drink it slowly. Now that you like Tianci so much, I am relieved.” Hua Qiyue smiled quietly, gently touching the little guy’s head.

The little guy’s smile was getting more and more brilliant.

Looking at his smile, Hua Mengshi was very angry. Finally, she could breathe a sigh of relief. “Haha, the soup is too delicious, so I choked myself up.”

She wiped the tears with her flower handkerchief, suppressed all her anger and grievances, and answered with a smile.

The others believed what she said and secretly snickered the Second Miss. It was so tactless that she ignored her etiquettes to drink soup like that.

However, only Tianci and Hua Qiyue knew that there was a small amount of cayenne pepper in the soup. Hua Qiyue liked spicy food, so she specially ordered her maids to put some cayenne pepper on the secondary dish.

What Tianci had put in was the chili powder.

Hua Qiyue now was in a good mood. The little guy was small, but he could examine her language and observe her countenance. This time, she was very happy because Tianci worked off her anger.

Hua Mengshi restored her normal expression, and chatted with others as usual, as if nothing had happened.

Hua Qiyue secretly admired her, because Hua Mengshi was adept at scheming and knew how to camouflage. Therefore, she was called the first lady of the capital.

Outside the Hua’s mansion, Hua Mengshi was so forbearing and witty, but inside the Hua’s mansion, she suffered something which could not be told to others.

After having a little talk, Cheng drank the bowl of soup and left with Hua Mengshi and others.

Looking at Hua Mengshi, who left hurriedly, Hua Qiyue could not help but smiled. This time Tianci poured oil on the flames. She might be getting angrier.

Anyway, she was also going to break up their relationship, it’s better to get to the point as quickly as possible.

After returning to the butterfly-like residence, Hua Mengshi ordered her maids to leave her room. She chugged the tea in her hand, and then threw the teacup to the ground.

Cheng was surprised to see her daughter and lowered his voice. “What’s wrong? Mengshi?”

Hua Mengshi glared at the dim light of the night through the window and said, “Mom, the wild boy put some cayenne pepper in my soup, and it almost killed me!”

The second lady recalled Tianci’s bright smile. She could not help but twist her eyebrows. “It seems… Hua Qiyue is really difficult to deal with. She dared to incite her adopted child to tease you…”

Fortunately, Hua Mengshi did not reveal herself, otherwise, it would be useless to give a gift to Hua Qiyue.
