Detective Ghost Empress

Silence fell in the room. The ghosts sitting next to Liu Hui Ying were stunned this was the first time they had seen someone this cheeky, he really dared to say anything!

Jealous? Who? Liu Hui Ying? That woman could never be jealous and that too over a man. It was simply a sight that they could not even imagine in their dreams and yet Zhai Tianyu dared to say that Liu Hui Ying was jealous? Was he looking for a slow and painful death?

Is this what he was trying to do?

Li Gang slowly and very carefully placed the bowl in his bowl down before he scrambled away from the dining table on his fours. He did not know what this man was trying to do but, he needed to make sure that he was away from the zone of fire.

Once he scrambled away, Jia Li and Grandma Lan Fen also moved away from the table. They did not want to be pushed into the pit of flames because of Zhai Tianyu's recklessness. While Xiao Lin was left to drag Witch Mao away from the table as the latter wanted to watch the show rather than move away.

"What did you say?" Liu Hui Ying questioned as she looked at Zhai Tianyu. Her voice was dangerously low. It wasn't that she was upset because he said that she was jealous but because she hated how he had put a name on the feeling that she was having and Liu Hui Ying did not like it.

"I asked if you are jealous——"

BAM!

Liu Hui Ying slammed the chopsticks in her hands on the table before rolling her eyes exaggeratedly. She snorted and then said in a harsh voice, "Do you think you are money, Your Majesty? Unless you are painted gold and I can exchange you for my comforts and lavish meals… I don't think that I am going to be jealous of someone else having you."

So what if she was jealous, as long as she did not admit no one could make her admit that she was jealous of this man.

'God, what did I do to deserve this?' Liu Hui Ying groaned in her head as she looked at Zhai Tianyu. Sure he was handsome but he was definitely not the kind of guy she should have fallen for and that too her first time. Couldn't she have fallen for someone more steady and secure? This guy didn't even know what was going on in his life and had to live according to the rules set by others.

What did she even see in him?

Liu Hui Ying wanted to cry and throw a tantrum. However, she did not do so. She was not going to roll on the floor while questioning her taste in men. At least the man she fell for was the Emperor, he was rich and looked good, so that was something good. Discover stories with empire

"If that is what you are looking for then I am certainly that," Zhai Tianyu said to Liu Hui Ying causing her to raise her head and look at the man in bewilderment.

What was he on now? She questioned.

Liu Hui Ying did not know what was going on in Zhai Tianyu's head but then she heard him say, "I am the Emperor. The law is under my jurisdiction and I am also rich... I mean I can't use my money on anything like creating an army but I can definitely use my money to dote on you. And I am the reason you can eat lavish meals every day.

So yes, you should be jealous over me——" he calmly tilted his head to the side when a chopstick flew past his head and got stuck in the wooden wall behind him.

He then looked at Liu Hui Ying whose face was flushed red and then said to her, "There is no need for you to feel upset about this, we can discuss this matter. I mean I am quite the catch don't you think?"

Liu Hui Ying wished she could hurl her fist in the face of this rotten ba*tard who was making stupid remarks. She rolled her eyes before smiling at him in a fake manner, "Yeah you sure are a wonderful catch. Now mister wonderful catch can you tell me about the rebellion of Yue village? Do you know about this?"

She changed the topic which made her awkward and embarrassed. Liu Hui Ying did not want to continue as she was worried that Zhai Tianyu would see something.

Sure enough, when she questioned him, Zhai Tianyu started to frown. He stopped teasing her and asked, "Why are you asking about a rebellion that happened fifty years ago?" It confused him as he did not understand why would Liu Hui Ying suddenly be interested in something so old. Even the people involved in the rebellion had long forgotten about it.

"FIFTY YEARS? I BEG YOUR PARDON?" Liu Hui Ying gasped as she whirled around and then glared at Lu Si. "When were you going to tell me that it has been more than fifty years since the rebellion happened?"

Lu Si scratched his head. He looked at Liu Hui Ying with an awkward expression before saying, "I did not know that it has been fifty years since then…and does that matter?"

"Of course not. Other than the fact that your daughter must be a sixty-year-old woman, everything is f*cking fine!" Liu Hui Ying cursed at Lu Si. It was already hard enough for her to look for a little girl with the description that Lu Si gave her, now add in the fact that the little girl was a sixty-year-old woman and everything was even more fantastic.

Why did she even have to be so soft-hearted with him anyway? She should have threatened him with exorcism and be done with it! Now look she got another job handed to her.

Zhai Tianyu looked at Liu Hui Ying who was groaning and then turned to look at Lu Si before asking, "What's going on and who are you?"
