The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

At the end of the long and winding corridor, at a corner, three graceful and elegant ladies were walking towards the gate of the Washington Palace.

Suddenly, their attention was attracted by a bright red color. When they looked closely, they found that it was Hua Ye, whom they had not seen for a long time, walking in slowly in a red dress with fluttering sleeves.

Hua Ye was seen with a graceful and elegant figure, as charming as a blooming red lotus.

The three ladies almost simultaneously cast admiring glances at Hua Ye, but soon, these glances turned from bright to dim, just like sunlight covered by dark clouds.

They secretly sighed in their hearts: "This girl has really become more and more graceful, but it's a pity that the violent aura around her seems to be too strong!"

At this moment, Hua Ye noticed the three ladies and quickly stepped forward. He bowed gracefully and said, "Greetings, Madam Pei, Madam Zuo, and Madam Zhou!"

She was dressed in a neat riding outfit, looking heroic, and her every move revealed an aura of a woman who was no less capable than a man.

Because of her attire, she couldn't help but use masculine etiquette, clasping her hands together and bowing to the ladies.

This sudden action really scared the ladies who usually stayed at home. They looked at each other with a look of surprise on their faces.

At this time, Madam Pei was the first to recover. She smiled and said to Hua Ye, "Miss Hua, there's no need to be so polite. Your mother has been waiting for you to come back for many days. It's indeed a bit long since you came back this time. Why don't you go in and take a look?"

After saying that, she glanced at Hua Ye lightly, with a hint of blame in her eyes.

"Yes, Miss Hua doesn't know that returning to one's parents' home is a big deal..." Mrs. Zhou picked up the beautiful brocade handkerchief in her hand and waved it in agreement.

Mrs. Pei's words were like a sharp arrow, piercing Hua Ye's vitals, and instantly made her originally pleasant face gloomy and darker by a full degree.

But she quickly adjusted her mood, forced a smile, and replied softly, "It was me who was a little unruly, and Madam Pei was right. I will go and apologize to my mother now. Please take care, ladies."

After saying that, Hua Ye straightened his bent body slightly, still smiling faintly, but the initial enthusiasm and sincerity were gone from that smile.

The three ladies were seen walking forward slowly with graceful postures and good manners. Hua Ye, seeing this, straightened his back in an instant, like a tall pine tree, which had been a little lazy.

Her eyes were determined, and she put aside all the busy servants in front and behind her without hesitation.

Then she leaped up, her movements swift and light, like a nimble swallow, and landed steadily from the high roof to the courtyard where her mother was.

"Mother! My dear mother! I miss you so much! Have you prepared some delicious food for me today?"

As Hua Ye spoke, he sat down steadily and carefree on the stone chair opposite Mrs. Hua.

At this moment, her face was filled with a flattering smile, her eyes fixed on her mother, and she asked expectantly.

However, Mrs. Hua seemed to be deaf to her daughter's passionate call. She didn't even raise her head and just moved her body, as if she didn't see this living person in front of her at all, let alone hear what she said.

Mrs. Hua was seen cracking the fragrant melon seeds in her hand while complaining to Jian Wu who was dancing with a sword to liven up the atmosphere.

"Tell me, is your young lady a heartless person? Ever since she married her lover, she has completely forgotten her biological parents! Look, after being married for so long, she has completely forgotten something as important as returning to her parents' home. Do you think she still has your master and your wife in her heart?"

Upon hearing this, Jianwu couldn't help but groan inwardly, but he didn't dare to go against his wife's wishes. He could only secretly glance at Hua Ye, who was looking embarrassed in front of him, and then nodded helplessly, as if he had compromised, and responded to what Mrs. Hua said.

"Young lady, she is indeed spoiled and used to being free and undisciplined. She doesn't know the rules at all. When she comes back one day, Madam, you must discipline and teach her a lesson..."

Hua Ye was so angry that he raised his big hand to slam the table, but Mrs. Hua gave him a warning look, which scared her so much that she immediately withdrew her strength and just swept the table a few times.

Then, he rushed to Jian Wu's front in one step, with a speed so fast that it was astonishing.

She stood still, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and cast her naked and sharp eyes straight at Jianwu, as if she wanted to see through her.

Her eyes seemed to contain a thousand words, silently conveying the following message: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will spank your butt until it swells up like a steamed bun!"

The fierce look and threatening aura instantly frightened Jian Wu.

Her whole body was trembling slightly, like a fallen leaf in the cold wind, and then she hid behind Mrs. Hua in panic and fear.

At this moment, Jian Wu's face turned slightly pale, and her voice trembled with fear. She stammered and spoke tremblingly.

"No...there are no rules without them. The young lady is too willful and always gets into trouble. As a result, you, Madam, have lost face in front of those ladies and have been mercilessly mocked by them."

Hua Ye stood there quietly, listening attentively to every word Jian Wu said.

As the words were conveyed, her slightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and the rising anger slowly receded like the tide.

"What she said...seems to be true!"

Hua Ye thought to himself, and kept recalling Jian Wu's words just now in his mind.

Those words were like keys that unlocked her dissatisfaction one by one, and made her understand Jianwu's cooperation with her mother in mocking her.
