Chapter 52: Scheming Beauty vs. Dark Minister 014

The person who appeared before Hatsunashi's eyes was a middle-aged man.

The plot immediately flooded into Hatsuri's mind.

This is her relative in Kyoto - Uncle Zhang!

How come you suddenly appear here?

Chu Li didn't want her to recognize her, and was also afraid that her identity as a substitute would be discovered.

She pulled Uncle Zhang aside, and in order to prevent him from finding out that she was living in Xie's house, she could only lie: "Uncle Zhang, I have been looking for you for a long time. My niece has been in Kyoto for some time and was thinking of coming to you for help."

Uncle Zhang looked at Chu Li's eyes, then looked her up and down, and found that what Nan Qing said to him was true.

So he started to speak maliciously: "When did you become the fiancée of the Xie family? Your aunt wrote to me saying that she thought you had jumped off a cliff and died, and she was very worried at home. I was also very anxious, so how did you suddenly become the fiancée of the Xie family?"

Hatsuri didn't expect that he already knew this.

But it’s strange that Xie Huai’an didn’t tell anyone else about this, so how did Uncle Zhang know about it?

Only Xie Huai'an and Xie's mother knew her true identity.

Except for those two.

Nothing else.

Since those two were kicked out of the house, there has been no news of them, and Hatsuri has forgotten about them.

Facing Uncle Zhang's questioning, Chu Li didn't know how to answer for a moment. She had originally planned to explain this to Xie Huai'an in advance.

Then I went with him to look for the relatives.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Zhang came to me on his own.

Chu Li knew that something was wrong, so she asked back: "Where did you hear this ridiculous statement, Uncle Zhang? The one from the Xie family saved my life, and I was almost killed by my aunt, and she wanted me to marry an old man in his sixties. She even wanted to sell me to supplement the family income!"

Uncle Zhang naturally believed what he said. He had worked hard to move from the countryside to the city just because he couldn't stand the woman at home.

I don't know how to tell the country where I live.

Just a while ago, a woman who claimed to be the younger sister of Mr. Xie said that she had found her niece.

He was feeling depressed at that time. When did Hatsuri come?

The woman told him that Chuli had become the fiancée of the son of the Xie family. Uncle Zhang was very shocked and said that Chuli was his own niece.

The man seemed to realize something.

Then he left.

"But when did you get engaged to the young master of the Xie family? Your parents died early, and they didn't tell you about any engagement."

Chuli was now certain that it was definitely Nanqing, that big mouth, who leaked the information.

He must have hated me and accidentally discovered the existence of Uncle Zhang, so he started to inquire about him.

"Uncle Zhang, I will explain this to you later. Where do you live now? I will visit you another day."

Uncle Zhang left her an address.

But the people of the Xie family are not to be messed with in the whole Kyoto.

If you want money, you have money; if you want power, you have power.

If I could do my shop business better because of this relationship, wouldn't that be wonderful?

"That's good, but you must take good care of yourself. If you need anything, you can always come to me."

Having such a human relative, Hatsuri suddenly felt relieved.

Finally, there is a proper family dimension.

Chu Li hurried back and waited for Xie Huai'an to come back home.

Since someone has discovered this.

She must say it in advance.

She kept muttering to Xie Huai'an for a long time at the door.

"Actually, I'm not Hatsuri. No, I'm not your fiancée Hatsuri. I'm sorry I lied to you."

"Actually, I'm not your Hatsuuri. No, my name is also Hatsuuri, but your fiancée is dead, so you recognized the wrong person. I was trying to escape from that shabby home, so I took advantage of the situation and became your fiancée Hatsuuri."

But if I put it this way, would he understand?

Somehow, she was a little frightened.

There was a sound outside the door. It was Xie Huai'an who came back.

Seeing Hatsuri standing at his door and waving at him, he paused for a few seconds and looked at the woman in front of him, confirming again and again.

Didn't say much.

Just quietly went over and hugged her.

"Why are you waiting for me to come back today?"

Chu Li nuzzled into his arms, keeping the words in her mind.

So, I asked tentatively: "What kind of deception do you think is unacceptable to you?"

Xie Huai'an didn't even think twice and said seriously: "Trick her into loving me."

Chu Li was stunned for a moment, and when she looked at him and said this, her eyes were full of affection and smile, as if she was the only one in his eyes at this moment.

At this moment, she felt that she should speak out!

She summoned up her courage and took a deep breath, as if she were making a major decision.

"Actually I'm not..."

"I'm a little sleepy today, and I came back late. If I come back this late again next time, don't wait for me at the door, just go to sleep."

Just as Hatsuri was about to speak, she was interrupted.

The courage suddenly disappeared.

But she didn't want to put it off any longer!

He said again: "I am not..."

"Did you hear that?"

The conversation was interrupted here. Chu Li was almost out of patience and a little anxious at the same time, but when she saw Xie Huai'an's expression.

He is really tired.

So he swallowed back what he wanted to say.

Xie Huai'an touched her forehead and said, "The weather is a little chilly. Why are you wearing so little? Be careful of catching a cold."

Only then did Hatsuri realize that she had come out wearing only a thin piece of clothing. She was so preoccupied with this problem that she forgot to put on an extra layer of clothing.

She hugged Xie Huai'an tightly.

The uneasiness in my heart attacked my whole body.

She didn't sleep all night.

In the next few days, she didn't dare go out, for fear of running into Uncle Zhang and being recognized by him at the door.

But she lived in fear even during these days.

When will it end?

Soon, it was Xie's mother's birthday.

Xie Huai'an planned to hold a grand birthday party. In previous years, his mother did not want to be affected by the limelight of a powerful official like him, so she always kept a low profile and celebrated countless birthdays at home without letting anyone know.

This time, he wanted to have a big banquet.

Chu Li was also planning what to give to Xie's mother, but she couldn't come up with anything after thinking for a long time.

Xie's mother's only wish was for the Xie family to have descendants.

Why not just give her a child?

But what she didn't expect was that Xie's mother actually said: "Now that your aunt has been driven out of the house, she must be invited to the birthday party. After all, the friendship between them still exists after so many years. Please invite them!"

Xie Huai'an nodded.

Now, Hatsuri was really panicked.

If I let those mother and daughter come over, I'm afraid they will expose me on the spot.

But this day will always come.

"System, what should I do?"

"Susu! The best way is to pretend to be bad! If you find out, then you find out. What if Xie Huai'an stands on your side? Then we win."

Hatsuri nodded, "That makes sense!"

So she really didn't worry anymore.

The day came to Xie's mother's birthday. She was particularly active that day and guests came one after another. Those women who had said to others that Xie's daughter-in-law looked different were stunned when they saw Chu Li's appearance!

Who on earth spread rumors about this beautiful girl?

This is totally a living person.

Hatsuri felt embarrassed by the compliments.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind: "Aunt, my mother and I will definitely come to your birthday party. We have brought you a big gift today."
