Although Madam Hua found the timid-looking girl familiar, she couldnβt remember where she had met her before. She had been living on this Spirit Island for about 200 years, so even if she had really come across the girl before, it must have happened before then.
However, the young girlβs cultivation and appearance suggested that she was just a teenager, which meant that she couldnβt possibly have been alive 200 years ago. Therefore, it wasnβt possible for Madam Hua to have met her before. Moreover, the young girlβs face and eyes, which resembled those of a woman she knew, made her feel repulsed.
Then, Madam Hua shifted her attention to the person hiding behind Yang Kai. Instantly, she figured out who that person was, so she sneered, βWhatβs the point of you hiding behind a man? Get out now!β
Hearing that, Lu San Niang couldnβt help but start shuddering, and she didnβt dare to reveal herself.
Seeing that, Madam Hua was certain that her speculation was right, so her lips curled up and said, βSan Niang, itβs been more than ten years since we last met. Donβt you recognize me anymore?β
[San Niang?] Yuan Wu was startled for a moment before he gazed at Madam Hua in shock. At that instant, he realized that Madam Hua and Lu San Niang knew each other. Feeling apprehensive, he thought, [If Madam Hua and Lu San Niang are on good terms, thenβ¦ Iβm doomed.]
However, after he examined Madam Huaβs expression, he was able to set his mind at ease. [Itβs fine. Theyβre not on good terms. In fact, there must be some grudges between them.]
Pretending to know nothing, Yuan Wu gazed at Madam Hua and asked, βMadam, do you know her?β
Madam Hua scoffed, βOf course I know her. We lived together for almost 200 years, and she always took good care of me. We know each other very well.β
With a fawning smile, Yuan Wu said, βWhat a coincidence.β
It was then he realized that both Madam Hua and Lu San Niang must be the captives of the Dragon Clan on this island. Judging from Madam Huaβs furious expression, he reckoned that these two ladies must have been in a fierce competition for Fu Chiβs favour, so it was understandable that they were on bad terms now. After Fu Chi expelled Lu San Niang from Dragon Palace, she was forced to relocate to Half-Dragon City, while Madam Hua stayed in the same place. Now that Madam Hua had come across her old foe, naturally, she wasnβt in a good mood.
βSan Niang, why donβt you want to see me? Why are you hiding behind a man? I can see you, you know?β
Left with no choice, Lu San Niang moved away from Yang Kai and hung her head low with an anxious expression.
After Madam Hua snorted, the two ladies around her growled, βItβs really you!β Apparently, they knew Lu San Niang as well. Because of Madam Huaβs attitude, they also looked coldly and disdainfully at Lu San Niang, as they took pleasure in the latterβs misfortune.
Previously, Lu San Niang was Fu Chiβs favourite woman, so her position on this island was equivalent to that of the current Madam Hua. During the past 200 years of competition, Madam Hua had always lost to Lu San Niang. Now that Lu San Niang had been expelled from the palace though, Madam Hua didnβt have to be wary of her anymore. After all, it was said that the winner took all, and Madam Hua was the winner.
βElder Sister Hua, fellow Sistersβ¦β Lu San Niang hung her head low and greeted them as she grew more anxious by the moment. If possible, she would never have wanted to reveal herself; however, since Madam Hua had figured out her identity, it would be pointless for her to keep hiding. Furthermore, they had to solve the problem on this day, otherwise, it might turn into a bigger problem in the future. Gazing at these familiar faces, Lu San Niang couldnβt help recalling the unhappy memories from the past.
The woman holding the fish tank glared at Lu San Niang and snarled, βHow impudent! How dare you call us Sisters! Youβve been expelled from the palace, so you have no right to address us in such a way! What a shameless woman!β
Although the other woman uttered nothing, her expression suggested that she shared the same thoughts. In the past, they were wary of Lu San Niang because the latter was Fu Chiβs favourite. However, now, they had gained Fu Chiβs favour, while Lu San Niang had been discarded by the Dragon Clan like a piece of trash. Since she was just a piece of trash, there was no way they would be afraid of her.
With a faint smile, Madam Hua said in a magnanimous manner, βForget it. We lived together for a long time. Donβt be too hard on her now.β
Hearing that, the woman beside her stopped speaking. Appearing to be victorious, Madam Hua looked at Lu San Niang in a haughty manner and asked, βWe havenβt met for more than ten years. How are you?β
Lu San Niang pressed her lips together and replied softly, βMany thanks for your concern. Iβve been doing well.β
In response, Madam Hua nodded gently, βVery good, you have no idea how sorrowful I was when you were forced to leave the island back then. I even went to beg Senior Fu Chi so that you could stay, but he had made up his mind, so there was nothing I could do. You donβt blame me for that, do you?β
After shaking her head, Lu San Niang replied, βNo, I have never blamed you.β
With a smile, Madam Hua said, βI knew that you were a magnanimous person. Itβs no wonder that you were Sirβs favourite in the pastβ¦β
As she spoke, she looked at Lu San Niang from the corner of her eye. Seeing that the latter appeared to be dejected, she continued gleefully, βYour power was second only to Senior Fu Chi at that time, so even I had to be respectful to you; however, life is full of uncertainties, isnβt it? Look how different the situation is now.β
Knowing that Madam Hua was mocking her, Lu San Niang just remained silent. Now that she was the weaker one, she had no choice but to kowtow to her. Furthermore, she had never been a woman who loved to compete with other women to win a manβs heart.
βBy the way, why have you come back to this island? Have you gotten Sirβs permission?β Madam Hua suddenly changed the topic.
βI donβt have his permission.β Lu San Niang shook her head gently.
Pretending to be surprised, Madam Hua asked, βHow did you dare to come back without his permission? Arenβt you afraid that heβll punish you if he finds out about it?β
With a grin, Yuan Wu explained, βMadam, weβve come to this island to help Sir build a palace. All of them are here to help as well, so they donβt need anyoneβs permission.β
Upon learning the reason behind it, Madam Hua said, βOh, I see. You have to be more meticulous, then. This palace is being built for Sirβs upcoming wedding, so everything has to be perfect. If thereβs any mistake, all of you will be punished.β
βWedding?β Yuan Wu was startled because he hadnβt heard of this news. A few days ago, Fu Qi brought all 500 of them to this island and told them what they had to do before promptly leaving. However, he didnβt tell them what the palace was for. It wasnβt until they heard it from Madam Hua that they came to the realization that this palace was being built for Fu Chiβs wedding.
It was indeed big news because there was only a small number of Dragon Clan members, and the period it took for them to reach maturity was unbelievably long. Furthermore, the ratio of men to women was unequal, so it was difficult for them to fall in love and get married. As far as Yuan Wu knew, the last wedding of a Dragon Clan member took place more than ten thousand years ago, which went to show how important a wedding was for them.
Understanding all this, Yuan Wu hurriedly said, βMadam, please rest assured. Iβll do my best to build this palace so that all of the Masters of the Dragon Clan will be satisfied.β
βGood,β Madam Hua nodded lightly. Then, she sighed and spoke helplessly. βSir is going to get married soon. I wonder what will happen to us. San Niang, Iβm really envious that you left the palace more than ten years ago. We have no choice but to stay here, and we donβt even know who the future Mistress is that weβre going to serve.β
All of a sudden, Lu Yu Qin growled, βYou can also leave, then. No one is forcing you to stay!β
Although she was young and inexperienced, she could easily tell that Madam Hua and the other ladies were awful people. They kept picking on her mother as they spoke in an overbearing manner. Having been enraged by their attitude, she couldnβt take it anymore and flared up.
Lu San Niangβs expression changed abruptly as she pulled Lu Yu Qinβs sleeve and chided, βDonβt speak like that.β
With narrowed eyes, Madam Hua stared at Lu Yu Qin and said lightly, βSan Niang, she must be the bastard child, right?β
Lu Yu Qin had already been born when Lu San Niang was expelled from the island. It was because Lu Yu Qin had no Dragon Vein at all that she and her mother had to be forced out of the island.
Judging from Lu Yu Qinβs age and appearance, Madam Hua was certain that she was Lu San Niangβs daughter. Having been provoked by Lu Yu Qin, she stopped being polite to Lu San Niang. She had never been fond of Lu San Niang anyway, so naturally, she loathed her daughter as well.
Furthermore, Lu Yu Qin was the daughter of Lu San Niang and Fu Chi. Although she didnβt have any Dragon Vein, she was still Fu Chiβs descendant. The very existence of Lu Yu Qin was like a needle in Madam Huaβs heart, so she had to remove it.
With a pale face, Lu San Niang pleaded, βElder Sister Hua, sheβs just a young girl who knows nothing, please forgive her.β
The woman holding the fish tank said coldly, βAs her mother, do you know nothing as well?β
Lu San Niang bit her lip and replied, βElder Sister, please forgive her. Iβll apologize on her behalf.β
Madam Hua sneered, βAre you implying that Iβm a cold-hearted person? Am I so terrifying?β
βElder Sister, you meanβ¦β
Madam Hua waved her hand, βI will allow this matter to pass.β
Surprised, Lu San Niang uttered, βMany thanks, Elder Sister.β
Then, Madam Hua said, βHowever, I wonβt forgive the culprit who hurt Xiao Hong. San Niang, do you know that after you left, Iβve been missing you every day?β
Naturally, Lu San Niang wouldnβt believe her. In the past, Madam Hua was her archnemesis who kept provoking her. Even though she ignored Madam Hua, the latter still wouldnβt stop competing with her. Obviously, Madam Hua was just spouting nonsense when she claimed that she had been missing Lu San Niang after the latter was forced to leave. Instead, she must have been gleeful.
βFortunately, I chanced upon Xiao Hong.β Madam Hua then turned to look softly at the red carp in the fish tank, βOver the past decade, Xiao Hong has given me lots of comfort, so Iβve regarded it as my family member. Now that it has been hurt, I wonβt let the culprit go. So, I hope that youβll understand me.β As she stared coldly at Lu San Niang, she questioned, βWho was the one that injured Xiao Hong?
