Chapter Six: Hua Family Women

Hua Pingyu patted his daughter's arm, "Zhi'er, you...have suffered."

Hua Zhi shook her head, "As a member of the Hua family, I should be able to enjoy wealth and bear responsibility. Father, take care of yourself, take care of grandfather, if there is anything that needs to be done, let Fourth Uncle handle it, he is better at these things than you."

"Don't worry, I won't be stubborn."

Hua Zhi then looked at Fourth Uncle, "Fourth Uncle, I am sorry to trouble you."

Hua Pingyang has always been close to this niece who is only nine years younger than him, and his usual playful and smiling face also disappeared, "I'll take care of it, you don't have to worry. Your Fourth Aunt is pregnant, so take care of her more often."

"People have always been able to withstand hardships together, everything will be fine."

"You always see things more clearly than others." Hua Pingyang smiled, "Has the manor outside the city been sealed off?"

"For now, I only know that the house in the south of the city has not been sealed."

"That one outside the city won't be sealed either. When you have time, go take a look. I always loosen the soil around that big locust tree every year."

Hua Zhi thought of many things in an instant, nodded in agreement, and then gave a few instructions to her younger brothers of the same generation. Seeing that the people over there had finished eating, and the things in their pockets had all been put away, Hua Zhi didn't say much anymore.

She knelt down in front of the elders, bidding farewell, "Please take care on your journey. Grandfather, you have taught me that as long as the green hills remain, there will be no shortage of firewood."

Hua Yizheng helped the person up, "This little incident won't defeat me. I'll leave the family to you."

"Understood."

Hua Zhi led the horse to the head of the official dispatch, "Sir, grandfather is old, please take good care of him on this long and difficult journey. The Hua family will surely show our gratitude."

Hua Zhi glanced back at the members of the Hua family, "Grandfather did not commit an unforgivable crime. The Emperor may be angry with him now, but one moment he may remember his good deeds. As the saying goes, the wheel of fortune turns, and perhaps there will be a turnaround. Don't you agree?"

The official dispatch was shrewd and could naturally sense the hidden threat in Hua Zhi's words. It was impossible to be happy after hearing such veiled words of threat, but upon further consideration, they knew it was the truth.

If Lord Hua had committed treason, that was a different story, and no amount of effort would save him. However, Lord Hua was just caught up in a fight among immortals, facing a demotion. With his second-rank official position and years of service to the Emperor, it was possible that he would be reinstated at any moment.

Feeling the newly-warmed gold bars in his waist, the official dispatch thought, this was just a house raid after all!

"I understand Miss Hua's intentions. Just rest assured, apart from that, Lord Hua has served our Daqing Dynasty for most of his life. Even if we had the courage of a hundred men, we would never dare to ridicule him. However, we also have our rules, so please understand that, Miss Hua."

"I wouldn't dare to trouble Sir. On behalf of the Hua family, I thank you all," Hua Zhi bid farewell to the elders and got on her horse without looking back.
