Chapter 938"Di Cang's Letter (3)"
“Mei'er, did anything happen while father here was away?" Hu Bud Wei's question didn't get a direct answer, instead it causes the servants and maids that came with the fox lady to lower their hands in avoidance.
Hu Mei didn't miss the faces coming off of her people from behind. Slightly annoyed and slightly appeased at their willingness to follow her orders, she bits her lip and hurried to speak: "Father, nothing special occurred during your time away, only a woman coming around to make trouble for our house. But don't worry, your daughter I have already dealt with her and make that person leave."
“How come? Our family shouldn't have offended anyone of late."
“Oh, don't fret over it Father, it's probably just because we are the fox clan and that woman wants to get close to the king through us. I easily saw through her plot and ended it on the spot."
That greatly relieved Hu Bud Wei: “That’s good then, don't let such woman near the king, especially when His Majesty has taken a queen now. Our family can't afford to offend Her Highness, otherwise we will be left with no place to go!"
“Father, how can the queen be that narrow minded?" Hu Mei asks with a raised eyebrow.
Even though many of the denizens of the Demon Realm only took one wife in their lifetime, including countless chiefs of the various racial groups, but it's their king here. If a single woman gets to monopolize such a incredible male then its too much of a loss in this fox lady's opinion.
“Mei'er, the matters in the palace is not something we can judge or dictate. In any case, don't speak ill of the queen less the words reach that
one's
ear, it will only end with the suffering of our family. Also, they say the queen is peerless in her beauty so you need to stop thinking about the king."
“Father!” Hu Mei’s eyes beamed a resilient light of unacceptance, "Those people are only exaggerating the queen's contour because they want to flatter the woman. In terms of charming allure, who can match up to us foxes?"
The fox chief didn't agree with the idea and frowned: “Mei'er, no matter what the queen is still the king's woman."
“I know, that's why I won't be as stupid as my older sister." Making waves with her incredible smile, "I will only have His Majesty fall in love with me naturally, I won't do anything foolish like trying to force the matter. If he doesn't take action then of course I won't do anything. I disdain forced emotion!"
There's good reason for Hu Mei's confidence. The fox race has an inherent ability to seduce and charm the other s.e.x, making them the perfect play toys for men.
“So Father, you don't have to worry about me, your daughter I knows what is good for our family and what is not to do. If the king really doesn't have me in his eye then I will give up on my own."
“But…” Hu Bud Wei still had a frown on his face due to the unease he felt, "I heard the king isn't allowing any woman who has thoughts for him near the palace."
“Now that's where you are wrong Father, no men will reject a woman's love for them. As long as I don't make any move without his consent then its fine. What, am I not allowed to even have the right to love?"
Yes, as long as I express myself and not use dirty means then the king won't treat me like my older sister.
After a moment of musing over that logic, Hu Bud Wei ends up snapping anyways: "No! You are not allowed to do anything remotely risky. I've already got word from the king. Now the fox clan only needs to complete a mission for His Majesty to return to the Demon Realm, I won't let you ruin this rare opportunity just because of your feelings." Having said that, the fox chief then whisked his sleeve to begin turning away, but before giving one final warning look at his own daughter. "Mei'er, I don't care what happens in the future, but you better keep that emotion in check during this period!"
