She idly sat in the pavilion, eating melon seeds and drinking tea that the servants had brewed. She only felt dull and tasteless.
After a while, she rested her chin on her hand and mumbled, "Is that guy busy?"
"He hasn't been here for two days, right?" She counted with her fingers.
She silently sighed, then abruptly stood up and said with a blank face: "Am I thinking about him? "It can't be?"
Hua Ruge's expression looked as if she had discovered the most impossible thing in the world. She stood up very seriously, and started pacing while analyzing her own emotions.
Finally, she stopped under the plum blossom tree. With a serious expression and a very rational tone, she said, "It's true. Do you think I like him?"
The next moment, she lost her composure and started walking back and forth with a conflicted expression.
She was not an awkward person, and what she was conflicted about was not why she fell for Tuoba Rui, but what should she do next?
Do you like being together?
But wouldn't that mean there was no freedom?
She was not a person who liked to be bound.
Then what should he do?
Hua Ruge only analyzed it for a while before he felt his mind was in a mess, he had no other choice.
She had never been good at analyzing emotions. Therefore, she stopped thinking and mumbled, "That guy definitely knows what to do. I'll ask him, but what should I say?"
"I don't think there's a need to beat around the bush. There's nothing unspeakable about liking her."
Hua Ruge finally had a smile on his face, and was happy that he had thought of a good idea.
If anyone else knew what she was thinking, they would definitely be struck by lightning.
Having this kind of trouble shouldn't be silently entangled by oneself, or looking for an experienced friend to ask, if you are embarrassed to directly ask, you can also indirectly ask. But what was the situation if he went straight to a man to ask about it?
Hua Ruge was an emotional and mental person, naturally, he did not understand all this, so he left the courtyard as soon as he thought of it.
"Little Big Brother, there's new news!"
Walking to the courtyard entrance, Su Nianxia suddenly ran in, if not for Hua Ruge's quick reaction and dodging, the two of them would have bumped into each other.
"Where's the fire?" Hua Ruge asked.
Su Nianxia was at a loss: "It's not a fire."
"Why are you in such a hurry if there's no fire?" Hua Ruge said with a look of disdain.
This girl was simply too impatient.
"But it's definitely more shocking than a fire." Su Nianxia pulled her and said, "The news has already spread throughout the capital. The Hua Family has publicly admitted that they lost the arena battle and they're going to compensate you."
After she finished speaking, she waited for Hua Ruge's reaction, but Hua Ruge simply raised his brows and said: "There must be some other movements."
"How do you know?" The one who was shocked was still Su Nianxia.
"Have you ever heard of planning and planning that allows you to win for a thousand miles?" Hua Ruge stuttered.
Su Nianxia rolled his eyes: "It's obviously a trick."
"?" Hua Ruge.
Since when was he so discriminated against when it came to eating by relying on brainpower?
"But there really is something else. The Hua family also closed all the shops under their door and dismissed a lot of workers. Also, they actually sold all of the land near the capital." Su Nianxia laughed and said: "Looks like the Hua Clan is really convinced this time, I'll have to collect a ransom for you."
Hearing that, Hua Ruge squinted his eyes, and said after a while: "Seems like I'm not that stupid."
"Little big brother, let's celebrate in advance. I bought a lot of delicious pastries." She pointed with her finger, only to see that Shi Yan, who was behind her, was holding onto a big bag and lifting up two of her hands.
"I'm not as optimistic as you." Hua Ruge said indifferently, as a strange expression appeared between his brows.
Su Nianxia had known her for so long, but this was the first time he saw her expression like this.
She hesitantly opened her mouth. "Little big brother ?"
"Bring the pastries over, I have prepared tea and melon seeds here. Let's eat together." As Hua Ruge went to receive the big and small bags from Shi Yan, he scolded Su Nianxia for bullying the honest man.
Su Nianxia was dumbstruck, and started to suspect that he had seen wrongly.
That day, the few of them finished eating and then ate, after messing around for the whole day, they were not bored, so Hua Ruge gave up on the idea of going out.
In her final gamble, she should have been able to properly recover and store up energy.
Three days had passed in the blink of an eye, and the Hua family had already bought all of the real estate in the capital, including the land and houses, which had caused a huge uproar.
While everyone was lamenting, they rarely mentioned the Hua Clan, and most of the discussions were on Hua Ruge.
She was a true hero to say that she was born of low status, but was able to reverse the situation.
In the imperial court, the Hua Clan no longer stood up for the Emperor and allowed him to suppress their power. They did not write a letter to refute his decision and only closed their doors to thank their guest.
In most people's eyes, the Hua Clan's people were already afraid of Hua Ruge, but those with discerning eyes knew, the Hua Clan was abandoning their carts to protect their commander, wanting to win the last chance to live. They took the initiative to weaken their clan's strength, and took the chance to leave the capital to return to their feudal fiefdom, which was currently the best way for the Hua Clan.
Whether or not it worked out would depend on the Hua Clan's next move.
As promised, Hua Ruge came to collect the ransom. She didn't bring anyone with her, and this morning, she had taken the antidote for the Shape-Changing Pill. She had combed her hair into a simple bun, and was dressed in a thick blue dress.
Furthermore, the self-made mask on her face did not change her appearance. However, there were criss-cross marks on both her face and forehead. Just like the time she had crossed over to another world, her face had been scratched by someone.
However, there were two before, and now there were three.
She had been in contact with the Hua family for too long, so she didn't want to be recognized.
Walking on the street like this, she attracted the same attention as before. However, previously, she was in reverence, but now, she was even more curious.
Hua Ruge maintained his composure, but in his heart, he really wanted to know what the Hua Clan would look like when they saw her.
At the beginning of her plan to disintegrate the Hua family, she had thought that the original owner of the Hua family was a family member after all. Even though the original owner only hated this family, would he feel sympathy for them from the bottom of his heart?
She thought it was possible. After all, this was the original owner's home, and the father that had abandoned her had doted on her before.
The original owner wanted to seek justice, so Hua Ruge would help her achieve it.
However, she wasn't the original owner, so she didn't know how to take this revenge seriously. Therefore, she handed the decision to the Hua Clan and gave them another chance.
She appeared in this manner, as if she had suffered through many hardships. She wanted to see if the Hua family would be merciful and accept her.
If the Hua Clan still had some feelings for the original owner and had acted on impulse, then the Hua Clan would have learned their lesson and she would have let them off the hook.
She walked slowly along the way. The uncontrollable flash of the original owner's memories made her empathize with him.
Her eyes, under the mask, were dark and bright.
When she stood in front of the Hua family's gate, she took a deep breath. All the grudges and grudges from the past, it was finally time to end them all.
However, before she could breathe out, she heard a guard in front of the Hua family shouting in annoyance:
"Where did this beggar come from? Hurry up and get out of here. Don't you know that today, Washington is going to welcome our guest? Even if you were to run into him, you still wouldn't be able to chop his head off."
Hua Ruge rolled up the corner of her skirt with her hand, looked a little awkward, and timidly said: "I don't ask for food."
Her voice was soft and I felt sorry for her, but the face had ruined her image.
"Even if you aren't a beggar, you're still a despicable and ugly being. I'm telling you, if you don't leave now, I'm going to use force." Another guard followed.
This was because Master had already instructed them yesterday to entertain the Baron Hua Ruge today, not to neglect him even a little. They had to be careful and wait on him, just as their hearts were unbalanced when they saw this beggar stop right in front of their door. They naturally had to say a few words.
"I am the Miss of this house, my name is Hua Ruge. Can you two big brothers let me go in and see father? Hua Ruge continued to speak kindly.
"What?" The guard was stunned upon hearing this.
Not just them, even the entire Great Zheng knew that the Hua Clan had a trash named Hua Ruge.
Now that people mentioned Hua Ruge, they would definitely be talking about the noble baron Hua Ruge who wiped out the Hua Clan.
Thus, when they heard the name, they were a little stunned. Only after a long while did they recall the name.
"Can you two big brothers help me notify them? I've come here with great difficulty, so I must see father." Hua Ruge said pitifully at this time.
Her personality was exactly the same as the original owner's, except it was difficult for Hua Ruge to disguise himself, she had always been arrogant, so her way of speaking was extremely awkward.
"So annoying." A guard said in dissatisfaction.
Even though the young miss of the Hua family was never treated favorably, it seemed like they were not the ones who would reject her.
The other guard said, "The whole family is preparing to welcome our guest. Master Hou has no time to see you, you should come back another day."
Thus, the guard from before nodded his head.
Things still had to be decided according to who was more important.
Inside the door, regardless of whether it was the main wife or the main wife, all of them had changed into dignified attire. They thought about what Hua Shengxiong had told them before, and that they must treat Hua Ruge well.
No matter what, their family could not take out their money. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to leave the capital. Rising up again was just a dream.
However, they did not want to offend Hua Ruge either. They felt that Hua Ruge was very evil, not only did he possess a strong physique and methods, he also had the support of the Battle King.
It was very unwise to provoke her at such a time, so their first plan was to curry favor with her, to lower their stance as much as possible, and once they could make peace, everything would be settled.
Therefore, even though the Hua Clan were unwilling, they had no choice but to submit and wait for Hua Ruge's arrival in a humble attitude.
Outside, Hua Ruge's tears were about to fall, "But I don't have a fixed abode now, I really can't live anymore outside."
Just as she said that, the guards were thinking of a reason to chase her away. The Hua Clan gate already slowly opened, and the clan members who had been separated into two groups stood in the middle with and his children in tow.
Hua Ruge raised his head, and his eyes met everyone's gaze.
