1417 Words
Hua Chun Meili was pulled by her siblings and relying on the former Hua Chun Meili's memory she acted base on how they remember her.
After her siblings dispersed, she finally sighed however she was surprised when she realized her mother was still in the room.
"Mother," she gave an uneasy smile.
She reached to her palm and gave a worried look, causing the alarms in her head, countless thoughts rushed in.
'Did she found out?'
'Would she humiliate me first?'
The CNovels she read about how reincarnators were found out to be fake had miserable death or a fate worse than death.
"Meili, you can tell me, I won't get mad," her mother probed which made her even jittery.
"Err.."
"Did you know the day you disappeared, Emperor So La looked anxious he is still hung up about the bet you made with him."
Bet?
Hua Chun Meili tried to recall but she couldn't remember.
"Words travel fast and His Majesty might come to look for you, so are you still willing about the bet? Third prince, Shu, didn't give up his search on you and this years it seems he has proven his worth to us."
"Mother," Hua Chun Meili was surprised and didn't know how to reply thus she decided to run away from drama, "I need time."
"Meili, what happened when you disappeared?"
"I don't know but I believe someone wants to ruin me."
Silenced had overtaken the room.
"Don't worry, will find the culprit soon."
Hua Chun Meili was touched and even missed her late mother, she sincerely replied, "Thank you."
Hua Chun Meili bids farewell and left to find her son.
Hua Yiqie recovered after being left by Little Blue he hid the scale.
"Qieqie," a warm voice called, he easily recognized where his mom is.
Sprinting he found his mom standing in the middle of the plum trees. His eyes glistening with warmth, he hurriedly hugged her mom and inhaled her scent.
"Mama, Little Blue left back to his home," he complained while crying.
"Aye child, of course, he would go back, in the first place I stole it from your father's palace," she talks without thinking. They stared gazing at each other. Sweat trickled like endless rain on her forehead.
"What did I say?/ What did you say, mama?"
"Oh Xiao Yiqie its nothing," she lied while ruffling his hair. A tiny hand grip hers.
"Mama, when you lie you call me X.I.A.O.Y.I.Q.I.E!"
'Tsk, when did this child turn smarty pants' complaining inside she sighed in defeat.
"Qieqie would you want to learn about papa. But promise mama that you would love him with all your heart!"
That above is just an imagination of Hua Chun Meili.
"Now Qieqie don't blame mama but you must hate papa alright!"
Hua Yiqie looks at her childish mother and sighed inside. Just who is the adult between them. He simply nodded and sat on her mom's lap.
"Qieqie the truth is... Your father... In truth, I don't really know him personally! We are not related! It was just one night, a scheme," she blurted endlessly.
"Mama, then I am indeed a child out of wedlock wuwuwu!"
"No child, you're not a child out of wedlock because your papa and I don't love each other rather you are a child out of scheme from those green tea bitches," she corrected her son which made her child cry more.
"H-however I know that your father has good looks," she tried consoling him.
"Tell...*sniff*.. me more," he said.
"But I also remembered he had the same beautiful grape violet eyes as yours," she said lovingly at her son.
"Then you mean to say that you also love papa's eyes?" the child whined.
"Is it still passable if I say that I love your eyes not his?" she asked.
Understanding the situation that what conspired between his parents was a scheme.
"At least its mine not from another man," the child grew more curious about his father that his mom wanted to flee badly from.
And curiosity is a dangerous element for a child. For curiosity evokes the child's longing to be in the arms of his father.
In the Hei kingdom, Wu Long flapped in circles for hours now.
'Man, am too scared to fly down.'
"So are you done with your exercise?" asked a chilly voice.
"Of course young master just stretching my wings," Wu Long said while he flew down then landed hard on the imperial ground.
Transforming back to his human form he brushed off the dust then bowed to his master.
"Master, Wu Long has arrived," he said with formality.
"Tell me more," three simple words that caused him to grow pale.
"Reporting to his highness, the lady who I assisted is the seventh miss and the daughter of the god of spring and god of winter, Miss Hua Chun Meili," he reported and wanting to leave in order not to let his master inquire about the little bun.
But his master grew silent and its like he is waiting for more information.
Feeling the threat he swallows ," Master, she also bore your son named Hua Yiqie..."
"Yiqie," Hei Xie interrupted then unexpectedly his master sat in the ground, in an Indian style, then lazily slouched, "So is that the little child's name."
"So how does my little devil look?" excitement coated his words, numbing Wu Long for a moment.
Since when did his master get curious about others but he must choose his words carefully due to the influence of Miss Hua, little Master has become a father hater.
He still remembered when little master turned three he asks his mother where his father is but she just jokingly said that they were already forgotten by his damnable father.
This cause little master to cry for a night in his arms and begging he must see his papa. Or in other instances, Lady Hua would say that his father was hateful because he is the scum of the entire heaven and the underworld.
"Little bun is clever and has a sight of the future, he inherited both your temperament and your eyes."
"Your Highness," a eunuch called while bowing before announcing an important message.
"The shu daughter of the god of luck will enter the Mai household tomorrow to be the concubine of General Mai Cui. And for the imperial family to show its gratitude the emperor and empress have decided that you would accompany his highness, Hei Lan, to represent the imperial family."
"Tell imperial father and mother that I would agree on their arranges, provided that I wouldn't need to stay there for no longer than 10 minutes," he ordered.
The eunuch swallowed his saliva then trembling he continued.
"Imperial empress says ungranted, her highness bargains that you must stay there for an hour or her highness would burn down your residence."
He flinched causing the eunuch and Wu Long to tremble in anxiety.
"Alright," he said then left. The eunuch stumbled then breathed out to calm himself while Wu Long looked like he had seen a ghost. Usually, when his mother would make a request he would immediately disagree.
Hei Xie for the first time was humming making the maids look at him in disbelief.
'Has hell became heaven and heaven became hell! The ice cube prince is humming and smiling like a fool!'
While in the Hua household, Hua Chun Meili looks at the young beautiful woman and recalled the past memories of the old body. Her name is Chu Qie, born from a concubine, however, they still got close together and became more than sisters.
Sitting down they chatted for a moment. Hua Chun Meili did her best not to let any flaw that she is not really 'Hua Chun Meili'.
"Eehh, Meimei, your getting married tomorrow!" Hua Chun Meili asks while shaking her cousin crazy.
"Yes, however, I lost something important. And I need your help for my family is at stake in here," she pleaded.
"What did you lose?" she asks curiously.
Looking around and confirmed they are alone she signaled her to go closer.
"I lost the jade ring that they gave to me and this would become the symbol and connection with my husband without it my family would be labelled as traitors for this is a marriage for political reasons of heaven and the Netherworld," she sobs while looking at her pitifully.
"What must I do?" she asks.
"Well..."
