Detective Ghost Empress

Chapter 137



That was to scare his grandmother until she agreed that there was something haunting her. Zhai Tianyu knew that his grandmother was a woman whose heart was sturdier than most men but that does not mean that he can let Liu Hui Ying scare his grandmother every night.

There was a chance that it might backfire.

Even though Liu Hui Ying assured him that nothing will happen to his grandmother, he knew that the woman was scary enough when she was angry and with his grandmother on her list, that woman surely will make his grandmother suffer a good deal.

” I am telling you the truth,” Zhai Tianyu looked at his grandmother solemnly as he stared at her while silently trying to communicate to her that he was completely serious. ” Aunt is here with us, when she was going to see uncle-in-law, she was killed by someone and she has been roaming on the surface of this world because of her grudge.”

When he finished speaking the small hairpin that was sitting on the cabinet dropped from the top of the bedside cabinet startling the grand dowager empress so much that she turned to look at the bedside cabinet and then turned to look at Zhai Tianyu who nodded and confirmed her suspicions. ” That was aunt.”

” Tianyu, how ...what is going on?” Grand Dowager Empress was shocked by what Zhai Tianyu was saying to her but what he told her was just the tip of the iceberg. As Zhai Tianyu started speaking and told her everything including Liu Hui Ying’s powers, Grand Dowager Empress was so shocked that she forgot to close her mouth. For a long time, she didn’t know what to say as she looked at her grandson and finally asked in a low voice, ” Are you sure that what you are saying is the truth, what if the Liu family is using her to hoodwink you?”

” I thought the same too but then...” he paused as he turned to look at his aunt who nodded when she saw her nephew giving her the sign that she has been waiting for her and then went ahead to the side of the room where she started picking up the things and then threw them in the air before she started using the skills that she has learned in this world when she was alive.

These skills were something that Grand Dowager Empress has seen many times, so when she saw the way the things were being juggled, she immediately recognised the technique and her eyes turned red as she looked at the corner where the things that were hovering in the air dropped one by one.

.....

” Chenguang’er...??” There was no response but Grand Dowager Empress did feel some sort of cold wind blow past her and she choked on her sobs. Her old eyes glistened as she closed her eyes and then covered her face as her shoulders started to tremble.

No mother would be this useless as she was, she lost her children one after another and yet she did not give justice to anyone of them. How can she even show her face in front of her husband? He will definitely blame her for being foolish and trusting people whom she should have never trusted.

” Mother,” Zhai Chenguang’s eyes also turned teary but she did not get closer to her mother. She has already scared her mother enough last night and the elderly woman was yet to recover her strength if she was to touch her then she will only harm her mother even more.

She could only watch her mother helplessly cry as she turned to look at her nephew who was at loss as well but when she turned to look at him, he still nodded and then walked closer to the Grand Dowager Empress and hugged her such that she was crying against him.

No one knew how long Grand Dowager Empress cried but when she pulled back, her eyes were determined as she looked at Zhai Tianyu and said, ” Did you say that the girl from the Liu family can give justice to Chenguang?”

” That’s exactly what she said,” Zhai Tianyu knew that the queen wouldn’t have acted so confidently in front of him if she was not sure that she will be able to catch the culprit behind the killing of his aunt.

“Let’s go then,” Grand Dowager Empress did not care about her face at the moment, the only thing that she cared about was finding out who was the one who killed her daughter. She wanted to see who it was, who dared to hurt her daughter and was able to get away from the punishment for so long.

Her daughter whom she has treated like the most vulnerable flower and raised her even more carefully than she took care of her most fine and delicate porcelain doll was killed so ruthlessly by someone, how can she not be furious? She was really furious! And there was no way she was going to let go of the matter so easily now that she knew her daughter was killed!

” Are you sure grandmother?” Zhai Tianyu asked his grandmother, he did not want his grandmother to plea for help in front of the Queen but the latter was quite clear when she said that she will only be accepting the request of the grand dowager empress and no one else.

” I am willing,” Grand Dowager Empress too did not like the idea of pleading with anyone especially someone from the Liu family but after what she heard from her grandson, she knew that only Liu Hui Ying can help her daughter. If so then there was no point in waiting.

” For my daughter, I will willingly lower my head in front of that woman if that is what she wants.”
