Chapter 62 – Careful, a loose tongue can cause a lot of trouble
"So Second Uncle was doing all this for me. I assumed………that Second Uncle wanted to send me away. You wanted to drive me away from the Back Courtyard so you could go search for things!"
Slowly and deliberately, Huang Yue Li said.
Bai Liu Jing's heart shook, "Search for what? How come I cannot understand your words?"
Smilingly, Huang Yue Li replied: "Yi? Are you not searching for something Second Uncle? That day when Fourth Sister came to my courtyard, she said that it was Second Sister who asked her to come. She said that you wanted to find a key…….."
Reaching this point, she directed an innocent and naive gaze towards Bai Liu Jing and asked: "Second Uncle, what key are they talking about? How could I have any sort of key? And why are you searching for it?"
Hands shaking, Bai Liu Jing immediately directed a seething glare towards the Manor Madam and Bai Ruo Qi!
The key that Huang Yue Li was referring to, naturally was the key to Bai Liu Feng's treasure trove!
His older brother the most powerful man in South Yue, had collected countless treasures. He had heard that there were even Sixth Level Pills and Armaments!
The key to these treasure should logically have been be left with Bai Ruo Li. Unfortunately she did not have knowledge.
Bai Liu Jing naturally coveted this key. But he afraid to alert his niece, causing her to open the safe first. So every time he mentioned the topic, he would be very careful and probe around in the dark.
He did not expect that Bai Ruo Qi would leak this out and alerted Huang Yue Li of this affair!
She really couldn't do anything right! Failing miserably!
If they were unable to obtain Bai Liu Feng's inheritance, then the blame would be all on those two women!
Currently, Bai Ruo Qi was full of embarrassment. Hastily she said: "Third Sister, what key are you talking about? I have not said anything of the like! And I don't know what you are pointing at. Fourth Sister recently fell under evil possession and has become muddled-headed. She definitely is speaking mindless drivel!"
"Is that so? But didn't you just states that Fourth Sister wasn't possessed by evil but fell under my schemes? Resulting in her naked lap around the streets?"
"It's……..it's not like that. Third Sister, look at what you're saying. The words that Fourth Sister says when she is muddled cannot be believed. And it wasn't me who asked her to go to the Back Courtyard. Please do not wrong me!"
During her little explanation, Bai Ruo Qi was bloodily cursing at Bai Ruo Yan.
Asking her to complete such a little thing and she wasn't able to. Furthermore, she leaked the news of the key outside!
Now that their father knows, who knows how angry he will become! Really dragged down by her!
Huang Yue Li said: "Then I must have misheard that day! Since it is like this, then Second Sister you must acknowledge you have wronged me? The matter of the Fourth Sister running around naked was the result of her own sickness. Unrelated to me in any way? And the question of my demonic techniques, are but baseless rumors?"
Following this sequence, this was the only possible conclusion.
Bai Ruo Qi could only admit it: "…….Yes. Yes, I wrongly accused Third Sister!"
Gently smiling, Huang Yue Li said: "Second Sister, you are the eldest daughter of the Wu Wei Manor. How can you casually accuse people? In the future, do not speak nonsense like that! Just look at your face's condition. This may become a case of a loose tongue that causing trouble! In the future if you were beaten to a worse state, what will you do?"
"You….."
Bai Ruo Qi nearly shattered her teeth from biting too hard!
She being hit and Bai Ruo Yan running around naked, were clearly linked to Huang Yue Li.
But she had found a weak point of hers, forcing her to admit that she had slandered her!
This little slut, not only did she free herself of the mess, she also added such sarcasm. Wasn't she clearly scolding her of 'deserving it' and 'should have been beaten' with a raised nose?
Furthermore, she could not say any words in retaliation!
There was nothing more infuriating than this!

Chapter 63 – You are fit to become the Crown Prince's Imperial Concubine?
Ignoring Bai Ruo Qi's murderous gaze, Huang Yue Li turned her attention back to Bai Liu Jing.
"Look at that Second Uncle. Did I not say that the matter of Second Sister being hit is not related to me in any way? She has admitted it herself, so there should not be any more problems with me?"
What more could Bai Liu Jing say?
He knew that Huang Yue Li was aware of the key, and was afraid of alerting her of anything more. As a result, he could only continue to act oblivious and hope to gloss over the leak that Bai Ruo Qi made.
"Li'er ah, this was Second Uncle's fault. But you secretly meeting with men outside is not correct. You are still a conferred Region Princess. If news of this were to spread out, even the Emperor himself would lose face! Worst case, he might strip you of your title!"
Huang Yue Li's thought this was laughable, lips curving.
Want to use the Emperor to scare her? This Second Uncle of hers is really short sighted.
In her previous life, even the Lord of the South Sky Region would treat her with extreme deference. Say nothing of a measly South Yue, who was but a tiny country in the South Sky Region?
This so-called Emperor, she did not put him her eyes.
Purposefully she smiled: "Many thanks for Second Uncle's reminder! Since you are not searching for anything, there is no need for me to move! The Manor's Back Courtyard is where I grew up. If I were to move and unable to accustom myself, I might might say the wrong things. There is also the possibility I might secretly come back. If this were to be misunderstood by others that Second Uncle was treating me badly, how bad that would be!"
Hearing those words, Bai Liu Jing's face turned steaming red from anger!
This damn girl really was not the same!
If it were the previous her, she would have long been scared speechless and obediently complied.
But now, she clearly saw through all his motives and was evidently threatening him.
If he were to forcibly drive her away, this girl would go around spreading malicious rumors. Ruining the name of the Manor.
And if those rumors were to reach the Emperor's ears……..
Biting his teeth, Bai Liu Jing replied: "Good! You are old now and your wings have hardened. Your Second Uncle can no longer control you! Since you do not want to take shelter from the wind, you cannot blame your Second Uncle if you cannot be married off!"
"Then I won't trouble Second Uncle for his worry. Afterall, I am someone who has a verbal engagement with the Crown Prince. Who knows, I may wed into the Royal Family and become the Crown Prince's Imperial Concubine?" Huang Yue Li lightly replied.
Just as she finished her words, Bai Ruo Qi uncontrollably cried out.
"You sure dream well! On what basis…………want to become the Crown Prince's Imperial Concubine?"
Calmly, Huang Yue Li answered her: "Why can't I? My father was a famous and the strongest person in South Yue. While I am a Region Princess whose title was personally conferred by the Emperor! Even when I was young, the Emperor mentioned marriage between the Crown Prince and I! If I cannot become the Crown Prince's Imperial Concubine, who can? Could it be you, Second Sister?"
"You! Don't always think about the past! The current master of Wu Wei Manor is my father! Also, do you think that the Emperor will allow the Crown Prince to choose someone whose is a cultivation trash as his Imperial Concubine? The Crown Prince is a mighty Fifth Grade Talent, who would definitely need to choose a female of similar talent as he is to match him. A trash like you……….don't think about soaring your entire life!"
"Looks like Second Sister has some intention towards the position of Imperial Concubine………..determined to win!"
"Oh, of course! Apart from me, who else can match with the Crown Prince?"
"Qi'er!" Interrupting them, the Manor Madam cried out, "Don't speak anymore!"
Startled, Bai Ruo Qi finally reacted. Under the provocation of Huang Yue Li, she had said all the things which had kept secretly within her!
If those were words were to be heard by those within the Royal Palace, it would be great disrespect!
Hastily she shut her mouth. Clamping down hard, she glared hatefully at Huang Yue Li.
Presently, Huang Yue Li confirmed the motive behind this mother-daughter pair's accusation of her of illicit relationship. It was all due to the position of Imperial Concubine.
