Empress Fenghua

Chapter 40
When Huazhong returned to Ningfu, it was already brightly lit, only Chuhua waited anxiously at the door.When Chu Hua saw the bloody Hua Zhong coming back on foot, he was startled and hurried forward, "Miss, what's the matter? But what happened?"

Hua clenched her teeth, the anger in her heart still persisted, "Miss Fourth, can you go home yet?"

Chu Hua nodded, "Miss Fourth and His Highness Ninth Prince have already returned home, but they encountered an assassin on the way. Fortunately, His Royal Highness's bodyguards repelled the assassin, and everyone was safe and sound. It's just that Miss you was missing. His Highness Nine thought that Miss was alone. I have left safely by car, so I sent Miss Fourth back. Knowing that you have not returned home, I hastily sent someone to look for it. The servant is afraid that things will go wrong, so I will wait here."

"Miss is in such a mess that it's not suitable to enter the house, let's change clothes first!" Chu Hua took out a clean dress from the cloth bag behind her, which was not much different from the one she was wearing, enough to distinguish it from the real one.Hua Zhong couldn't help but lament that Chu Hua was smart and thoughtful.After changing clothes and walking into the mansion, I saw everyone waiting quietly in the hall, seeing that Hua Zhong was safe and sound, with different expressions.

Ning Xinian said with a sullen face, "Where have you been? You came back so late!"

Hua Zhong scribbled a salute, "It's just that the coachman was stupid and went the wrong way, and the car drove faster, and got separated from Hua Qiong and His Royal Highness's carriage!"

"It's fine! I thought something happened to you. It's a dark and windy night, and you're out in the woods..." Feng Qinyun gloated a little.

Hua Zhong sneered, mercilessly, "What happened to me, the eldest lady seems quite happy?"

"What are you talking about?" Hua Yan reprimanded, "The whole family is worried about you, even His Highness the Ninth Highness is not safe at this moment, and is still looking for you. How can you stand here and talk sarcasticly with such peace of mind?"

Hua Zhong raised his brows and sharp eyes made Hua Yan shudder, "I don't feel at ease, should I still be grateful to Dade?"

Mrs. Lu quickly said, "Since the third lady is fine, it's best, why is the eldest lady so strict? It's more important to take care of your own affairs first. Someone will come to the door tomorrow, and if you are still arguing here so late, you will be sleepy tomorrow." Are you going to meet the guests?" Lu said to Ning Xinian, "Master, this concubine will send someone to inform His Highness Ninth Prince that the third lady has returned to the mansion safely, everyone should go away!"

Ning Xinian glanced at Zhong Zhong with complicated eyes, and nodded slightly.

Hua Zhong ignored the crowd and turned to leave, Chu Hua hurriedly followed behind.There was no one around the turn of the corridor, Hua Zhong suddenly lost his foot and nearly fell to the ground.

Chu Hua hurriedly supported Hua Zhong, and asked in a low voice, "Miss, what's the matter? Are you injured?"

Hua Zhong shook his head, "It's okay, it's just that I'm exhausted. Help me back to Xueyin Pavilion!"

Chuhua was exhausted physically and mentally, and fell on the bed.A man's respectful voice came from outside the door, whispering, "Miss? Is Miss still awake?"

"Say!" Hua Zhong said indifferently.

"The man has already been sent to Yanzi Tower, Second Young Master asked the servant to bring a message to Third Young Lady." The driver was actually driving the car outside the window! "The second young master said that the third young lady owed the second young master a favor. Please remember the third young lady and pay it back someday!"

Hua Zhong was silent, and said coldly for a while, "Go back and tell him, whether he wants to be saved or not, that person has nothing to do with this lady. Even if the second son kills him, this lady will not care, don't negotiate terms with me! "

The coachman outside the window was slightly taken aback, and said awkwardly, "Yes!"

The next morning, Hua Zhong got up to wash up, his face was still a little pale.Qin Xiang put a thin layer of rouge on the flower, making it slightly rosy.

"Miss, the eldest lady and the second lady have already greeted the guests in the inner courtyard, and Miss Gu and Miss Duan have also arrived. If the lady tidies up, you can go out." Chu Huaxiang completely forgot what happened last night, and everything was as usual.

Hua nodded and looked at herself in the mirror. Today, for Hua Qiong's affairs, she is very solemn in her jewelry and clothes.Hua Zhong was a little uncomfortable, and then ordered, "Go and see if Miss Fourth is ready. Tell her that the situation is over, and don't cause any trouble."

Although Hua Zhong knew that Hua Qiong was sensible and obedient, and was no longer persistent after Ouyang Feiyan's rejection yesterday, he was always worried that something would happen to her when she was young and ignorant, which would ruin her bright future for nothing!
In the back garden, everyone has already taken their seats.Gu Shuangcheng and Duan Huixian sat together, and waved when they saw the flowers come out again.

"You are in a good mood, and you still have the intention to invite us to the theater. Who knows that some people are impatient!" Duan Huixian also pointed out, and teased, "But people are in good spirits on happy occasions, and they dress up so grandly?"

Hua Zhong smiled and led the two to sit down, "I didn't come here to welcome you, Miss Duan! How can anyone deserve such a big show like me?"

"You can arrange people!" Duan Huixian chuckled.

Gu Shuangcheng also smiled, "Now you are a celebrity in Wan'an City, and the streets and alleys are full of rumors about your heroic feat of saving your life to save His Highness the Ninth Prince! Sister Duan and I are still thinking about whether you are superhuman now, we It's beyond hope!"

"The elder sister of Shuangcheng can see Chong'er's three heads and six arms today?" Hua Zhong was even more amused.

"I see! It's true that she's even more beautiful without superficiality." Duan Huixian's beautiful eyes circulated.

Hua Zhong covered her face with a smile, "Don't make fun of me, you two! I have invited the two sisters here today because I need your help."

"I know that this show is not for nothing. Sister Gu and I made a bet early in the morning that Miss Ning San is not the one who let us take advantage of it for nothing!" Duan Huixian spoke bluntly, very cheerfully.

Gu Shuangcheng sneered, "Okay! Don't embarrass Chonger, just for a moment, you have taken advantage of it!" Gu Shuangcheng turned his head and asked Hua Zhong, "Chonger said that everyone here is an elder , what can the two of us do?"

Hua Zhong beckoned the two of them to come closer, and whispered, "You just need to watch what I do for a while, and just add fuel to the flames. Today I will be angry with Mrs. Meng, and leave the rest to me!"

"Ah?" Duan Huixian looked at Hua Zhong suspiciously, her eyes flickered cutely, and said in a low voice, "Your family invites someone to be a guest, and if we are angry with him, wouldn't it be embarrassing for Ning Mansion?"

Hua Zhong smiled mysteriously, "My Third Miss of the Ning family is not afraid of shame, what are you afraid of?"

"What are the three sisters talking about here? They are mysterious, but I am very curious, so I left my mother and ran here!" He Xiaoyu suddenly ran over, with a smirk on his face.

Duan Huixian shook her head and said, "Of course I'm praising Sister He for her beauty!"

Everyone burst into laughter, He Xiaoyu blushed, "Sister Duan would make fun of me!"

Hua Chong sees Chuhua and invites Hua Qiong to come, nodding.Hua Zhong stepped forward, holding Hua Qiongsu's hand, and said in a low voice, "Whether your future life will be good or bad depends on today, don't think about him again, you promised me."

Hua Qiong looked completely lonely, but she was also calm, "Qioner understands, don't worry, sister!"

Hua Zhong turned around and smiled at He Xiaoyu, "Sister He has seen my fourth sister? This is Hua Qiong!"

Hua Qiong hurriedly went up to Qianqian and made a salute, "Miss He, Hua Qiong is very polite!"

He Xiaoyu hurriedly replied, "Miss Four and I have met before, but we are not very familiar with each other. Miss Si doesn't need to salute, you and I are the same age, let's just call each other by name!"

Hua Qiong smiled slightly, "I've heard that Ms. He has a straightforward personality, but now I see her not only quick to speak, but also modest and polite. Miss He is also a princess, so she must be dignified and prudent in order to let the two young ladies follow suit. Have such a precious temperament."

Everyone was slightly surprised. They didn't expect Hua Qiong, who was usually taciturn, to speak in such a clear and orderly way.Hua Zhong also nodded in relief, feeling very relieved in his heart.

He Xiaoyu's eyes were full of astonishment. Anyone who heard these praiseful and low-key words would be happy! "Hua Qiong is really dignified and generous. My mother has always been honest and kind. If she sees you, she will definitely like you!"

Gu Shuangcheng suddenly understood something, looked at Hua Zhong, and saw Hua Zhong nodded slightly towards him.Gu Shuangcheng turned his eyes and said with a smile, "You two villains are flattering each other! From my point of view, the ladies sitting there are very boring, and the show hasn't started yet. It's better to hit the sun than to choose a date, Sister He Why don't you take Fourth Miss to pay a visit to Mrs. He, you must be destined!"

He Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, with a bit of excitement, "Sister Gu is right!" He Xiaoyu hurriedly took Hua Qiong's hand and walked towards Mrs. He.

Hua Zhong looked at Hua Qiong's back, and saluted Mrs. He respectfully and dignifiedly. Mrs. He nodded with her smile and approval in her eyes.

Mrs. Qin, the Duke's wife, observed everyone's actions, and reminded Gu Shuangcheng in a low voice, "Why are you acting so recklessly today? Don't lose your sense of proportion."

Gu Shuangcheng smiled slightly, "Mother, don't worry, if the daughter is not shown, how can she mess up the mandarin couple? Now it's a good thing!"

Qin's eyes brightened, "You mean that the Ning family intends to marry the He family? But it seems that the family status is not suitable..." Qin's heart beats a drum. Given the status of the Ning family in the court, although Hua Qiong is a concubine, but Some are more or less married.What's more, I heard that the emperor intends to marry Miss Yu Huayan as the Seventh Highness's concubine...

"Mother made a mistake. It wasn't the Ning family's intention, but Miss San. Now, what else in the Ning residence is not Hua Zhong's decision? Since Hua Zhong has this ability, he will naturally be the master. Mother can rest assured." Gu Shuangcheng comforted road.

Duan Huixian remained silent, watching the people with different shapes and colors with great interest, and secretly rejoicing in her heart that she could accomplish something good...
