Chapter 184 Beautiful

The guard reiterated, "No one may enter without the young lady's permission."

Enraged by the repeated rejections, the obese man shouted, "How dare a mere guard stop me, young master?" He then beckoned to the men behind him, preparing to make their move.

"This is my courtyard. What's wrong with my guards stopping you?" Just as the fat man and his group were about to make a move, Hua Qianyu came out of the courtyard, looked at the leading man and sneered: "Hua Qianyuan, you really live up to your name, you're getting rounder and rounder."

Hua Qianyuan's expression darkened further upon hearing this, but remembering the purpose of her visit, she suppressed her displeasure: "Hua Qianyu, Father sent me to bring those three wanted criminals over."

"Why should I?" Hua Qianyu's gaze suddenly turned cold: "I'm the one who caught him. I'll take him there myself later. I don't need you to bring him."

Hua Qianyuan chuckled: "This is Father's will. Are you going to disobey Father's will?"

"This matter concerns the position of the next city lord. I cannot allow you to steal my credit, so even if it is Father's will, I will not hand the man over to you." Hua Qianyu looked at Hua Qianyuan and said coldly, "Or is Father sending so many people to you so that you can use force?"

“If that’s the case, then I can only ask the people of Huawu City to stand up for me.” Hua Qianyu said slowly, “After all, the people have seen that it was my men who captured the three of them, but you have taken the credit. That’s not fair.”

"Your people?" Hua Qianyuan laughed loudly. "Hua Qianyu, are you sure all the people you brought are yours?"

“Those are clearly my father’s men.” After Hua Qianyuan finished speaking, he turned around and the people behind him immediately parted to reveal the last few old men, who were the same old men who had captured Ling Yi and the other two outside earlier.

Hua Qianyuan looked at the group and said with a smile, "Elders, tell Hua Qianyu, whose people are you?"

The elders didn't want to come, but Hua Qianyuan insisted that they come. Now that they were facing off against Hua Qianyu, they were all a little guilty, but since the young master insisted that they choose, they had no choice but to choose.

Thinking of this, one of the group spoke up: "Miss, the Second Young Master is right. We are the City Lord's men, not yours. We are the ones who captured the three people. In a sense, it was the City Lord who captured them. It is reasonable for the City Lord to send the Second Young Master to take them over."

Hua Qianyu leaned against the door, looking at the elderly men with a half-smile: "Weren't you people left to me by my mother? When did you become my father's people?"

An old man said, "After the mistress passed away, all the food and drink we've had over the years has been provided by the city lord's mansion. How can we not be considered the city lord's people?"

Hua Qianyu asked in surprise, "He feeds and drinks you for free, but you don't do any work for him?"

The elders couldn't answer; frankly, it was all for better treatment that they betrayed him.

Hua Qianyu looked at the group and said, "If you had just said that you had betrayed us, I might have thought more highly of you. But this attempt to cover things up, ha."

"Hua Qianyu, it's just that you've chosen another master. What betrayal? Don't speak so harshly." Hua Qianyuan said, "They're the ones who captured the person. Can you hand them over now?"

"Impossible." Hua Qianyu said coldly, "As long as I live, you can forget about taking people away from here."

"You!" Hua Qianyuan hadn't expected her to be so stubborn, and she could no longer suppress her anger: "Hua Qianyu, you won't hand over the person, isn't it just so you can use this to seize the position of city lord?"

"Let me tell you, it's absolutely impossible!" Hua Qianyuan said with a sneer, "Father never intended to pass the position of city lord to you. Even if you bring the person over, it will be useless. If you hand him over to me, I will still remember your kindness when I become the city lord. If you refuse to hand him over and insist on bringing him over yourself, making Father lose face, then don't blame us for not showing any kinship."

“That’s a matter for when the time comes,” Hua Qianyu said. “Now you can get out of here.”

Seeing Hua Qianyu's stubbornness, one of the elders couldn't help but say, "Miss, don't be so stubborn. Hand over the person. It's for your own good."

"Shut up!" Hua Qianyu looked at the group and said coldly, "Since you have chosen to betray me, don't interfere in my affairs anymore. But there's something I need to remind you: in my world, those who betray others usually don't have a good ending."

Upon hearing this, the elders looked displeased: "Miss, you've gone too far. It's only natural to choose another master."

"Others can say that, but you are not worthy." Hua Qianyu looked at the group: "Without the nurturing of my maternal family, would you be where you are today?"

“You were selected and raised by my maternal grandparents’ family from childhood. What right do you have to choose another master?”

The old men wanted to say something, but Hua Qianyu didn't give them the chance: "I won't hand the person over to you. You can get lost."

"Hua Qianyu, don't be ungrateful!" Hua Qianyuan shouted, "Since you insist on making Father explain, I'll grant your wish. I'll have Father gather everyone in the manor and announce the next city lord. You can just hold those three and see if that works!"

After Hua Qianyuan finished speaking, she flung her hand away and said coldly, "Let's go!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately followed Hua Qianyuan and left in a grand procession. After they left, Hua Qianyu returned to her room and looked at Ye Qingshuang, who was dressing Ling Yi, saying, "That good-for-nothing wants to gather people, so the time has been moved up."

Ye Qingshuang withdrew her hand and said with a smile, "Just change your clothes."

Ling Yi turned around and looked at Hua Qianyu: "You should have prepared clothes, right?"

Hua Qianyu stared blankly at Ling Yi's face for a moment.

The moment she saw Ling Yi, she knew that Ling Yi was beautiful. With a little makeup, she was even more stunning, so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.

"It's beautiful," Hua Qianyu said, snapping out of her reverie.

Ling smiled and looked at her.

Hua Qianyu said, "Your plan will be very successful." After saying that, she went to fetch the prepared dress.

Ling Yi went behind the screen to change her clothes. When she came out, even Ye Qing Shuang was stunned. After she came to her senses, she called out, "Ling Yi, I want to buy you a pretty dress!"

"Buy all kinds of pretty dresses!"

Ling Yi's lips twitched, and the next moment, his body went limp and he fell to the side. Hua Qianyu saw this and quickly stepped forward to support him. Knowing that Ling Yi had entered the state, she called for someone to come over.

Upon seeing this, Baijiu and Ye Qingshuang also collapsed.

As the person approached, Hua Qianyu took out a beautiful red cloth and covered Ling Yi with it, concealing her face.

After the servants entered, Hua Qianyu personally helped Ling Yi and led a group of guards to the council chamber of the city lord's mansion.

...

The City Lord's Council Chamber.

After being mistreated by Hua Qianyu, Hua Qianyuan returned and asked her father to gather people, wanting to make a direct announcement.

Lord Hua had always doted on this son, and considering that the position of city lord was about to be announced, he agreed.

As soon as the summons was issued, the elders and subordinates of the City Lord's Mansion arrived at the council chamber immediately.
