Chapter 561 - 561: Half sister

Liu Hui Ying did not say a word. She calmly observed everything that was happening and acted as if she was not the one who had threatened Magistrate Su last night. It was not that she was fearful of the man, but she just did not want to alert him to make her his enemy.

"Sure, my lord. I will arrange for someone to call my son," said Su Tai as he turned his gaze away from Liu Hui Ying. he knew that even if he wanted to force this servant into writing more talismans for him, he couldn't do that. Liu Hui Ying was Lord Ji's servant, and even if he wanted to take her under his wing, he naturally had to pay attention to the face of the master.

If the master did not agree, how dare a lowly magistrate touch this servant? For the first time in his life, Su Tai felt frustrated and annoyed with the entire situation. This man was just a mere servant. How tough was it to touch him? Su Tai, who had never faced such a situation before, was really frustrated, but there was nothing that he could do. After all, Liu Hui Ying was not his servant!

Liu Hui Ying, of course, noticed the gazes that Su Tai was passing onto her and couldn't help but sneer. She turned her yin and yang eyes on and looked at the past deeds that Su Tai had done; the more she looked, the more her face twisted. Even though Liu Hui Ying knew all about borrowing luck, this was the first time she had seen such a thing happen. For a moment, she couldn't even control her expression, which had turned really ugly.

"Watch what you are doing; if not, this man would become suspicious of you," Li Gang warned her, and Liu Hui Ying immediately restrained her temper, even though she was choking on the rage that was burning in her heart.

Fortunately, at that very moment, Su Tai's son walked over. He looked at Zhai Tianyu and curtsied politely, as he knew that this man was quite important for his father's career. Zhai Tianyu could sense that there was something going on. He couldn't see the ghosts that followed Liu Hui Ying properly, but whenever they spoke, he would hear a peculiar sound that made him realise that the three of them were speaking to Liu Hui Ying.

Since one of them was speaking, there had to be something going on.

He took a look at the child, said a few words and then took his leave with Liu Hui Ying. Su Tai wanted to hold them back for dinner and was even thinking of a way to make this servant follow him when Zhai Tianyu refused, saying that he did not want to stay for dinner and would rather eat dinner in his own courtyard.

Since the guest had already said it, what could Su Tai say? He could only agree to it and let the two of them go.

Zhai Tianyu had a lot of questions in his mind, but he did not ask them until they were in his courtyard. Only when he was quite sure that no one was eavesdropping did he turn to look at Liu Hui Ying and ask, "What is going on? You look like you are about to fall sick. Did something happen? Did you see something?"

Liu Hui Ying did not answer at once; she first poured herself a cup of tea and then said meaningfully, "As the saying goes, you may know the man, but you may never know his heart. I knew that the man was rotten to his bones, but I never thought that he was this rotten."

Zhai Tianyu frowned when he heard Liu Hui Ying's words. Su Tai was already the worst kind of person; there was no way he could have done something even worse than eating human flesh. Or did he? However, at the same time, it seemed like there was something much worse that was hiding behind that man's face because there was no way Liu Hui Ying would have called him vile for no reason.

"What did he do?" Zhai Tianyu asked with a frown.

She did not say anything for a while and first quenched her thirst. Only then did she speak up, "Su Tai may look like he was only involved in some petty crimes, but it seems like we have underestimated him. He is quite a ruthless and heartless person. Not only is he vicious and heartless, but he is also petty and doesn't have the slightest bit of kinship. He is practically a devil in human clothing."

Zhai Tianyu's eyes widened, and he questioned, "You…mean to say that there is something more to what we are seeing?"

Liu Hui Ying curled her lips. She said, "Of course there is. Look at the pallor and features of that man; he was destined to live a life of poverty in a wooden house at best. How could he afford such a comfortable life, or how could he become the magistrate? Not to mention, he was supposed to have no children at all, and yet he has countless daughters and a son. It was all because he borrowed his luck from her half-sister, causing her to die along with her daughter."

If Zhai Tianyu was stunned earlier, his emotions were now surging and falling like a sea in a storm. After hearing what Liu Hui Ying had said, he felt like his heart could not settle down. It was one thing that people were using all kinds of dark magic spells under his nose, but who would have thought that there were also such disgusting things going on behind his back?

"You—you mean to say, my dear queen, that this man killed his half-sister? But why?"

"Because that woman had a wonderful destiny and if not for the fact that she was the daughter of a bandit then she would have successfully become the first female minister of your court."
