The useless second daughter of the Hua family

Wu had just finished her confinement and was still weak, so Xiaoyu and Shihu decided to go with her. Zhu'er had become good friends with Xiaoyu and was reluctant to part with her, so she went with her.

To comfort the two sisters, Pi Fu planned to accompany them for a while and come back when everything was settled. However, if she did so, there would be almost no one left in Wanzhou.

Pi Fu approached Bai Lin with a try-it attitude and asked, "Bai Lin, can you..."

"I stayed."

To Pi Fu's surprise, Bai Lin was willing to stay.

"Then please."

"Don't worry, I will protect them."

Seeing his serious look, Pi Fu didn't think he was so old-fashioned and boring for the first time.

After parting, the group returned to the Ge family.

Ge Qingcheng said to Hua Niaoniao, "We haven't prepared a new room in Xiyuan yet, and it's getting late. Why don't you stay in Nanyuan today, and I'll send someone to clean it up tomorrow?"

The East Garden is the courtyard where Ge Qingcheng lives and works, the North Garden is the courtyard of Ge Qinglan and Hua Miaomiao, the West Garden is the ancestral hall and also the center of the formation, where family gatherings usually take place, and the South Garden is the guest room, which is always cleaned and available for occupancy at any time.

"Don't bother. Miaomiao and I will sleep."

Knowing that Hua Niaoniao was a little reserved, Ge Qingcheng let her do what she wanted. "Then just make do with it for one night. It would be nice for you sisters to keep each other company."

Seeing that Ge Qingcheng seemed to have something to say to Hua Niaoniao, Hua Miaomiao took the initiative to take Bai Lin away.

Hua Niao Niao looked at the bright moon in the sky, her mind in a mess. Too many things happened today, and she suddenly felt confused and didn't know what to do next.

Ge Qingcheng walked behind her and stopped at a palm's distance.

"Thank you for staying."

Wu once asked Hua Niaoniao if she wanted to go with them. But Hua Niaoniao chose to stay. Regardless of whether he was the reason why she stayed, Ge Qingcheng felt very fortunate.

"No matter what you want to do in the future, I will support you. The same goes for the engagement. You don't have to feel pressured. I respect your decision."

Hua Niao Niao took a half step back, leaned her head on Ge Qingcheng's shoulder, and uttered two words softly, "Fool!"

This was destined to be a sleepless night. Burning down the Hua Mansion was not enough to vent his anger, so he turned around and led his men to surround the Ge family.

After seeing Hua Niao Niao beside Ge Qingcheng, he smiled with confidence.

The city gates had been fortified long ago, so the Hua family couldn't possibly escape. Did they think they would be safe if they hid in the Ge family? He didn't even take a mere imperial merchant seriously.

He sat on his horse and looked at the crowd.

"Hand him over."

Ge Qingcheng stepped forward, stopped the agitated Hua Niao Niao behind him, and pretended to be dumbfounded and said, "Your Highness, you came to visit me late at night and asked for help. I wonder who you are looking for?"

"Hua family!"

Ge Qingcheng looked puzzled, "Your Majesty, there is no member of the Hua family in the mansion."

"Do you think I'm blind? Isn't the person behind you the head of the Hua family?" The Regent swung his whip and pointed it directly at Hua Niaoniao.

Ge Qingcheng looked back at Hua Niaoniao, gave her a soothing smile, and then put on his semi-permanent smile again.

"Your Highness, are you talking about Niao Niao? Your Highness doesn't know that before Mr. Hua left, he had betrothed Niao Niao to me. She is now the mistress of the Ge family, and she is not considered a member of the Hua family."

"You mean they've left? Impossible. They can't leave the city."

"Then I don't know, but they did leave. If you don't believe me, you can go after them."

With the blessing of the formation, they are probably thousands of miles away. In order to disrupt the vision, Ge Qingcheng also sent out ten caravans from outside the city to different branches. Given the regent's suspicion, he will definitely verify them one by one to prevent them from being mixed in.

The regent glanced at him, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes. "Whether he is here or not, I will search and it will be clear."

His arrogant attitude made Hua Niaoniao unable to bear it any longer. When she thought that this man was actually her biological father, the resentment and rejection in her heart became stronger.

"Excuse me, Your Majesty, what crime has the Ge family committed? What crime has the Hua family committed? On what basis did you lead your troops to force your way in several times?"

This love rival's daughter was really bold. For Hua Miaomiao, Xiao Zheng didn't intend to really hurt her, but he could still give her some encouragement.

"Hua Ruling kidnapped someone's wife and daughter. His behavior is despicable."

"You're talking nonsense!" Hua Niaoniao was so angry that she rushed off the horse. Ge Qingcheng didn't have time to catch up and was stopped by the guards.

Hua Niaoniao stood low down, looking up at the Regent, exuding a sense of pride.

"My mother was given a high status and entered into the family tree. She is a dignified Madam Hua. Do you have these, Your Majesty?"

This really touched Xiao Zheng's sore spot, and he turned cold, "For the sake of your mother and Miaomiao, I don't want to bother with you. But if you continue to be so presumptuous..."

"You don't need to consider anyone's face. If you want to kill me, then kill me. Why would I be afraid of you?"

"Are you really not afraid of death?"

"Niu Niu!" Ge Qingcheng was shocked. Hua Niu Niu was simply losing her mind. He was held captive and could not move, so he could only yell at her. He could tell that the regent had already made him want to kill her. If Hua Niu Niu continued to provoke him like this, I'm afraid that this ethical tragedy of a father killing his daughter would really happen.

"She just saw her parents off and was reluctant to leave. Why would Your Majesty bother with a little girl?"

Everyone looked up and saw a white figure standing on the roof, looking down at them.

The Regent frowned and asked, "Why is the Imperial Master here?"

"Because Hua Mansion can no longer be lived in." He stopped here, and who could understand the implication? Why can't I live in it? Because you burned it down.

"It is my fault. I didn't know that the Imperial Master would stay at the Hua Mansion."

"It doesn't matter. Hua Miaomiao and I have some friendship. We are all her family, so it doesn't matter where we live."

The Regent frowned. It seemed that he was not going to leave?

"National Master, you just said to send the Hua family away..."

"Yes, the Hua couple and their two little girls, I gave them to them as a gift."

Xiao Zheng suppressed his anger and continued to ask, "Where are you going?"

"I don't know. I'll just take it wherever the wind takes me."

"you!"

"The wind is really strong tonight."

His exaggerated statement made the Regent unable to tolerate it any longer. Since he could not use him, there was no need to be polite to him anymore.

"Master, have you made up your mind to go against me?"

There was a dangerous light in his eyes and the guards around him were on high alert, ready to take action at any time.

"What are you doing?" Hua Miaomiao appeared with a sweet female voice. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked unhappy.

Hua Niaoniao and Ge Qingcheng were puzzled. Hua Miaomiao was here, so who was the person on the roof? Did Tao Yao come back? That was not right. The thin Hua Miaomiao on the ground must be fake. Could it be Bai Lin pretending to be her?

The Regent was a little surprised. He thought that Hua Miaomiao did not show up on such an important day. She must have been hidden.

The regent dismounted, walked to Hua Miaomiao, and looked at her tenderly, "Miaomiao, you are really here."

Hua Miaomiao rolled her eyes at him and said, "This is my home. Where else can I go at this late hour? You brought so many people with you. Are you going to search my house?"

Xiao Zheng had originally decided to surround the Ge Mansion in a fit of rage, and he was certain that Hua Miaomiao was not there. Now that things had turned out like this, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

"You misunderstood. I know that the Ge family is your husband's family. How could it be..."

Hua Miaomiao raised her hand to interrupt him. She rubbed her temples and complained softly, "I finally fell asleep. My head hurts so much."

"Are you sick? Have you seen a doctor? How about I ask the imperial physician to come?"

"It's okay, it's just a cold. I've seen a doctor and taken some medicine. Just get more rest. Is there anything else?" She looked up and glanced at him.

"No, no more."

"Then go away, I want to sleep."

"Okay, then you should have a good rest and recover from your illness."

The high and mighty regent just rode away quietly on his horse.

Hua Niaoniao looked at his departing back with a complicated expression, "I think I understand a little bit what mother meant when she said, 'With Miaomiao here, the Regent will be more cautious.'"

Ge Qingcheng said to her distressedly: "He just treats Miaomiao as you, that's why he favors her so much."

"But if it were me, I might not be able to handle it so well."

Ge Qingcheng wanted to say that being a spoiled child is something girls are born with, she just forgot this instinct because she was used to it after being alone for too long. But it doesn't matter, he will definitely spoil her back in the future.
