Chapter 293
293 The Governor’s Wife
Liu Jin Yu and Kang Huijuan glared at each other.
“I think you do not understand the words, Kang Huijuan,” Liu Jin Yu said and grabbed the collar of his robes. She dragged him while Li Hua ran after Liu Jin Yu. She tried to stop her, but Liu Jin Yu didn’t listen to her. Her blood was boiling with anger.
As soon as they stepped out of the door, she pushed him off the stairs. Kang Huijuan’s knees and face got minor injuries. He immediately stood up when Lóng Wei stood in front of him.
“Did you just enter my manor without my permission?” Lóng Wei clenched his fists. He was already infuriated because of his lie, and this act by Kang Huijuan increased his anger manifolds.
“Yes, Your Highness. He made a bad remark about Li Hua and was smirking at her,” Liu Jin Yu said and quickly descended the stairs.
“What did you say to my wife?” Lóng Wei questioned Kang Huijuan. Xiaoming and Mingquan also arrived at the manor.
“I only complimented the Princess Consort, Your Highness,” Kang Huijuan said.
“Who are you to compliment her? Don’t check my patient, Kang Huijuan,” Lóng Wei muttered and gritted his teeth. Li Hua descended the stairs and asked Lóng Wei to let it go.
Liu Jin Yu looked at Li Hua and asked her not to say that. Xiaoming asked Jin Yu to calm down. “Kang Huijuan, you should not have come here. You should prepare for tomorrow because it is your last day breathing in the open,” Xiaoming stated.
.....
Li Hua held Lóng Wei’s hand and looked at him.
Kang Huijuan bowed and glared at Liu Jin Yu before leaving. He was extremely humiliated and wondered who that woman could be. He would never forget this slap until the end of his life.
“What are you doing here?” Xiaoming asked Jin Yu.
“I was here to ask Li Hua to help me. Then, Kang Huijuan came here and started to speak weirdly. I slapped him then,” Liu Jin Yu stated and crossed her arms around her chest.
“You did what?” Xiaoming was shocked to hear her.
Lóng Wei laughed as he looked at her.”You surely started to use your power as soon as you got permission from the King and Queen to marry the Crown Prince,” Lóng Wei asserted. “That is great,” he added.
“It was important to shut his filthy mouth,” Liu Jin Yu pronounced. “His gaze at Li Hua wasn’t good at all, and then he called me a filthy servant,” she huffed.
Mingquan found out that the future Crown Princess was going to be stronger and she did not even hesitate to punish anyone.
“He called you a filthy servant!” Xiaoming’s temper suddenly rose.
“Tomorrow Kang Huijuan will bring a male servant and prove that he’s innocent. He will put his entire blame on Xin Jue. We cannot let it happen. I should have killed him that day. Today, he would not have lied about such a thing in the court,” Lóng Wei said and let out a frustrated sigh.
“What happened in the court?” Li Hua asked, while being curious.
Liu Jin Yu was also interested in knowing.
“I want to take a rest,” Lóng Wei said, and asked them to leave. Xiaoming took Liu Jin Yu away while Mingquan told Lóng Wei not to worry about it and patted his shoulder before leaving.
Lóng Wei and Li Hua went inside the manor. He stopped her outside the door of the chamber and asked her what Kang Huijuan said to her.
“Is that important, Your Highness?” She questioned.
“It is. How could he say something to my wife? I cannot let it go,” Lóng Wei asserted.
“Then, win against him tomorrow. What kind of lie did he tell in the court today that he could not get arrested?” Li Hua waited for Lóng Wei’s response.
Lóng Wei walked in while she followed him. He narrated everything in the short to her. He poured a glass of water for himself, drank it, and then put it on the table.
“Your Highness, we have to make Kang Huijuan confess the truth in the court tomorrow,” Li Hua opined, “because it will be difficult for us to find evidence which will prove that he is the father of that child.”
“Confess,” Lóng Wei murmured, and smiled. He got the idea and decided what to do to make Kang Huijuan confess the truth in front of everyone in the court.
He opened his arms to Li Hua and asked her to come to him. She was astonished, but walked to him. Lóng Wei wrapped his arms around her and rested his chin on her shoulder. “Thank you for giving me an idea,” he said.
They stayed in that position for some time before withdrawing from that warm hug.
“I am Governor of Qinping and you are now the Governor’s wife. In the court, the ministers unanimously agreed to the King’s decision. A tiny confrontation went, but in the end, we won,” Lóng Wei said. He truly accomplished the biggest task of his life. He would be in a good position in the kingdom, with the authority to make decisions.
“I will make sweets for His Highness to celebrate this moment,” Li Hua told him.
“I would love to eat sweets made by you,” Lóng Wei said, and he kissed her lips.
“Li Hua, are you proud of me?” For him, his wife’s opinion mattered a lot.
“I am truly proud of my husband,” Li Hua didn’t delay in answering him.
Lóng Wei gave a white-teeth smile to her. He covered his face with his hands and continued to laugh. “I never felt this happy, Li Hua,” he said as he lowered his hands. Before Li Hua could answer him, he again drew her close and gave feathery kisses on her lips.
Li Hua started to laugh along with him. “I wanted to take you out today, but not anymore because I have to prepare for tomorrow’s court session,” he said with a slightly upset look.
But he again turned cheerful and continued, “I will take you to the governor’s residence, which one gets after being the Governor.”
Li Hua nodded and decided to tell him about Feng Lao’s message. But seeing his happiness, she didn’t want to. He might not like that Feng Lao sent a message to her. She thought to tell him in the evening.
“Governor’s residence? But aren’t we supposed to live in the palace?” she asked in bewilderment.
“That is a perk when one becomes Governor. We might spend our private time there,” he said and teased her.
