Detective Ghost Empress

Chapter 539: What to do with him

That night chaos struck the Ji family once again as the warehouse where they kept their antiques and money was burned down. Ji Yang who found out about the sudden fire was so furious that he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted then and there.

And when he woke up, Ji Yang clamoured saying that it was the Liu family that caused the warehouse to be burned as they wanted to make trouble with him and his family. However, upon investigation, it was found that a child from the main family and that too Ji Mo's concubine son was the one who threw away the brazier that was inside his half-brother's room.

It was because he was upset with his half-brother and wanted to teach him a lesson. He did not think that it would burn down an entire warehouse as that child did not pay attention to what and where he threw the brazier.

When Ji Yang found out the truth, he was so angry that he wanted to beat the child to death. If not for the fact that the child was Ji Mo's flesh and blood, he would have really killed him.

They were punished to take out three million taels and this child caused so many expensive antiques and fabrics to be burned. They could have sold these things and paid the compensation! Now they had to suffer twice because of these consecutive losses.

Ji Yang wanted to die but he could not bear to die. He could only swallow this loss and curse Liu Dong Ming and his family for being a jinx for his family.

On the other hand,

Liu Hui Ying who was the cause of the entire cause slept peacefully. She was not even aware of what happened in the night.

"Umm.." Liu Hui Ying opened her eyes as she looked up at the ceiling of the four-poster bed on which she was lying. But soon a frown etched on her face as she looked at the vibrant white fabric that was covering the roof of the bed. As far as she knew when she went to sleep this roof was vibrant red, how did it turn into white?

What was going on?

"Your majesty!" Nanny Gong was pacing in the room waiting for Liu Hui Ying to wake up. She had been unable to sleep last night as she was worried that Liu Hui Ying would end up suffering because of the show of strength that she showed last night.

Even if her missy was really skilled because of the gift that she was born with, Liu Hui Ying was still a woman. What if she pulled a nerve or two?

Xiao Ai who was sitting on the stool next to the bed with her head drooping also woke up. She turned her attention to Liu Hui Ying whose eyes were now open and she hurriedly sat up straight before saying to Liu Hui Ying, "Your majesty, how are you feeling? Is there any discomfort?"

Xiao Ai's face was lined with concern as she stared at Liu Hui Ying.

When Liu Hui Ying saw the concern in the eyes of the two women, she sensed that something was wrong. More importantly, she did feel like her waist and arms were aching too badly, even though she went to sleep last night rather early.

She blinked her eyes and said, "I...I feel tired. What happened?"

No sooner did she finish Nanny Gong and Xiao Ai turned teary. They threw themselves at Liu Hui Ying and then cried loudly.

"I am so glad that you are all right Your Majesty," Nanny Gong said while hugging Liu Hui Ying. She sobbed so hard that the powder on her face was stained with tear marks causing her to look really funny.

Xiao Ai was the same as she hugged Liu Hui Ying and then stated, "That's right, you scared us last night Your Majesty. We thought that you were going to kill us all. It was really really scary."

Though Liu Hui Ying was unaware of what happened last night, she could understand that something went wrong last night. She thought of the five stone tablets that she had created for her ghosts and then summoned.

"You conscious," Jia Li spoke as soon as she stepped inside the room through the door behind her was Li Gang who was yawning.

"What happened?" Liu Hui Ying questioned Jia Li who sighed and then relayed everything that happened last night. When Liu Hui Ying heard what happened in the night, her brows could not help but furrow.

Most probably, her sister took advantage of her unconsciousness and then took over her body. What was more the assassins that came to kill her were men, with her sister's hatred of men it was no wonder that she became crazy.

Thinking of the chaos that her sister caused last night, Liu Hui Ying felt a bit guilty. What was more she even caused Yu Lingyun to get hurt and who knows what she did to Zhai Tianyu.

She rubbed her forehead and then looked at Xiao Ai and Nanny Gong who were crying before saying helplessly, "It is fine. There is no need for you to cry like this, I am fine."

Nanny Gong and Xiao Ai only cried even more when they heard Liu Hui Ying say that she was fine. They thought that she was lying to make them worry less.

Liu Hui Ying closed her eyes and tried to be patient but when their cries became louder and louder to the point that she felt like her ears were going to fall off, Liu Hui Ying could not contain herself anymore.

"Eish! I said that it's enough! I am fine! I know you are worried but I am freaking fine," Liu Hui Ying said to the two women who stopped crying because they were surprised by Liu Hui Ying. Seeing that the two of them had stopped crying, Liu Hui Ying heaved a breath of relief. She raised her hands and brought them down before saying, "Breathe.

Try to calm down, alright?"
