A Foodie Transmigrated into the Palace

Chapter 141 - 140 Jinling City 12

"Aren’t both the palm and the back of the hand made of flesh?"HEH!

Hou Tianying couldn’t hide her displeasure, but in front of her mother, she had to endure it.

"Mother, things have already come to this. We should think about what to do next!"

Lady Hou began to wipe her tears again.

"I am but a woman. What else could I do?"

"Your father said he has plans, and I do not know what sort of plans they might be. But one thing is certain: the person who harmed my son must not leave Jinling City alive!"

"Whoever hurt my son, I want them to pay with their life!" Lady Hou said furiously, grinding her teeth.

However, Hou Tianying felt somewhat guilty; her eyes darted around in panic before she lowered her head.

It was unclear what Lady Hou said next, but Hou Tianying vaguely agreed with a few sentences and then left.

She was extremely anxious.

What if Father finds out it was Third Master Huang?

What if, just what if? She had finally found someone she liked; she couldn’t just let it end like this...

No, no, she had to go tell Third Master Huang.

Having made up her mind, she stumbled back to her room.

After dressing up, she took her maid and left the Hou Mansion.

"Miss, it’s about to get dark. Where are you going?" her personal maid, puzzled, advised anxiously.

"If the Master and Madam find out, it will be terrible!"

Hou Tianying curved her lips into a mocking smile.

"HMPH! No one will find out. Just be at ease!"

"But..." the maid wanted to say more.

Hou Tianying frowned impatiently. "If you don’t want to go, you can go back yourself!"

The maid sulkily closed her mouth.

Normally, she often left the mansion, and the servants, seeing that it was the eldest young miss, didn’t stop her.here’s no way it looks like something a principal wife would wear, she thought.

This Miss Hou is so annoying! If the servants heard this and word spread, once it reached the palace, would the Empress spare me?

What trouble! Such bad luck!

I shouldn’t have come out to play today! HMPH!

Just as she was thinking this, Zhao Junyao suddenly embraced her.

"Indeed, she is Lady Huang!"

"Miss Hou, if you don’t leave now, don’t blame me, Huang, for being rude!"

Having said that, he walked off with Xia Ruqing in his arms without looking back.

There stood Hou Tianying, stunned, her heart shattered to pieces.

Sitting in the carriage on the way back to the Hou Mansion, she couldn’t help but cry her eyes out.

The maid couldn’t resist comforting her. "Miss, don’t be sad. We don’t even know what kind of background that Third Master Huang has."

"I think he’s just pretending to be profound. In reality, he’s nothing but a merchant!"

After saying this, the maid smugly continued to comfort her.

"He’s just a merchant after all. Why would you fancy him, Miss!"

Hou Tianying continued to cry, completely deaf to the words.

What flowed were tears, but what could not flow was the blood that had been silently bleeding in her heart for so long.

On the way, she broke several fingernails.

Her fingers were stained with blood.

"No way! No way!"

"HA HA... Qingqing? Calling her so sweetly! PAH!"

"Exactly! He’s just a merchant. It should be me, Miss Hou, looking down on him, not him looking down on me! HMPH!"

Having said that, she wiped her tears away.

All ten fingers clenched tightly together, her eyes filled with malice, gnashing her teeth in hatred.

Since childhood, whatever she wanted, she had. Even if Lady Hou wasn’t favored, she was still the principal wife.

She was still the legitimate eldest young miss. She had never suffered such humiliation.

Anything she desired, there would always be people who, in trying to please her, would find ways to get it for her.

In the circle of young ladies in Jinling City, she used to have whatever she asked for. But now...

"What I cannot have, no one else shall have either!"

She would not allow such a thing to happen to her.

The next day, early in the morning, she first went to Lady Hou’s courtyard.

Lady Hou had been tending to her son all night, not sleeping a wink for twelve Shi Chen, afraid that her precious son would despair and do something foolish.

Seeing her daughter, she just asked wearily, "Why are you here?"

"Mother, I came to see how you and Big Brother are doing!"

Lady Hou had endured too many shocks in the past few days, and this sudden warmth moved her to tears.

"Tianying, you’ve finally become sensible!"

Hou Tianying lowered her eyes and smiled faintly.

"It’s nothing..."

It’s just mutual exploitation. If Mother is gone from the Hou Mansion, I won’t be able to maintain my position either!

After chatting with Lady Hou for a while, Hou Tianying finally got up to leave.

"Mother, I’ll go see how Father is dealing with it. We must make that Third Master Huang pay!"

As she spoke these last words, Hou Tianying’s gaze was filled with sinister resolve.
