Chapter 577: My generous heart

"She didn’t have to hit you so hard." Papa Chi looked at his daughter Chi Lian while his wife walked away and returned to Manchu’s side to feed her some fruits which the chef and some maids had just brought out.

"Mother has grown biased, so biased." Chi Lian answered while she rubbed the part of her back that itched as a result of being slapped by her mother. "Father, after Chi Wei’s baby is born, I am sure that mother will kick you out of the bedroom so that she can sleep with the baby at night."

"She did the same thing when Mei-Mei had just come." Papa Chi whispered and told Chi Lian about his wife’s secret that was not such a secret to Chi Lian. "She would sneak out of the room at night and bring Mei-Mei to our bedroom. Then, she would pretend in the morning that she had just picked her up at five or six because she was crying."

Both of them were peeping at Mama Chi just in case she overheard them gossiping about her.

"Ho!" Chi Lian pretended to be surprised. "You don’t say,"

"Your mother is crazy about grandchildren," Papa Chi closed his eyes and folded a fist as he assured her of this fact.

They watched mama Chi complaining from where she was wiping Mei-Mei’s face gently with so much care. "Aiya, our little princess, why are you running around under the hot sun? Your beautiful skin is going to be burnt. Come and put on grandma’s hat, it will protect you."

Even though father and daughter had been discussing mama Chi, they both watched her with love filled smiles on their faces. She was good wife, great mother and even greater grandmother.

"Father, do you want a taste of the corn?" Chi Lian peeled one cob and took a bite before handing it to her father to do the same if he desired.

"Are those the emperor’s people?" he indicated with his head to the new group of people that was arriving, led inside by the butler. One of them, she recognized as the royal butler.

"Hmm, I guess they have come for these things." She bit some more into the corn and she waved at the royal butler.

His presence was no longer nerve wrecking for the Chi’s and they saw him as a regular visitor. When he came closer, they greeted him casually, smiling and welcoming him before returning to their business.

"He came closer to Chi Lian and her father excused himself, giving them some room to speak privately.

"Miss Chi." he said in a calm manner and tone, "You have outdone yourself again."

She beamed proudly and nodded, "The emperor was right to place his faith in me, I am Midas Chi after all. This output is double of the harvest he expected you know. I am sure that the seeds will be able to withstand the harsh weather in the north where he intends to send them. In a few years, hunger will be a thing of the past in our empire, no, in the world."

"You speak too soon, some parts of the world are worse than our northern regions, like the dry deserts." he reminded her. "Unless, you are sure that you can cultivate seeds that can survive desert weather. Should I pass this message on to the emperor?" he looked upon her with curiosity.

"Of course we can." T4 bragged in her mind. "We can even cultivate seeds that can grow on the moon if that’s what they want."

She on the other hand shook her head and her arms and gave the butler a look of disbelief. "You are just like your boss Mr. butler, always tricking me with your words. I have not made any such declarations."

The royal butler turned his attention back to the fields and he stood still, with his hands behind his back. He gave off the aura of a landlord watching over his many fields or tenants. "Is there a reward you want for this accomplishment?"

"No." she replied without a hint of hesitation and she could see the surprise in his eyes.

"Did I mishear you?" he inquired.

"You heard me right, I want nothing in exchange for this. The emperor gave me the seeds not for selfish reasons but to solve the food crisis in some of the most impoverished regions of the empire. If he wanted it for himself I would have charged a fee, after all he can afford it. Don’t be too surprised Mr. Butler, I too, am a citizen of our empire and I have a generous heart."

Once upon a time, her Mei-Mei was underfed and malnourished. How many more children in the empire were like that out there? If she could help in any way, she would.

"I will be sure to mention your generosity to the emperor." he said and he continued to watch over the harvest. After a minute and a half of silence, he asked her, "How is your family preparing for the royal wedding?"

"We are ready, everything has been purchased and all that we are waiting for is to welcome the new bride in glory and honor. If there are more demands for us you can share the information at any moment and we will do our best to fulfil them." she sounded confident because madam An, her grandmother had taken charge and prepared everything personally. Anything that had been forgotten at this point would not be too hard to accomplish.

"Won’t you ask if we are ready too?" he suddenly asked her with a light laugh.

"Eh," she replied slowly, "You are the royal family, it’s impossible for you not to be ready for the wedding."

They both went silent then, watching as the harvesting continued, the job was halfway finished thanks to the help of the machines. She was confident that before night fell, the fields would be empty and the land would stand bare as it once did.

Despite the busy day, the peep star’s work also continued.

The mighty little peep star: [Designer to the stars Co-Co has been detained at the B city airport under suspicion for smuggling and possession of drugs and psychotropic substances.

Travelling with Co-Co were actresses Da Fu Shai and Ming Xing of dragon entertainment who are also being held for questioning at the moment. How many in the entertainment business will be taken down by this ugly vice?]

With pictures and videos to backup the claims, the peep star successfully gained more points. These were some of the actresses she was keeping an eye on because they were regulars at Sinner according to Monkey. Dragon entertainment wad also one of the subsidiaries of green gang. Who better to take them down than the peep star?

Fire baby: [This kind of news does not shock us anymore, we have grown immune to it.]

Lazy from day one: [Last year I raised a question about why Co-Co travels so much with celebrities and someone said I was jealous. She is a designer but she is always on trips with different celebrities month after month, it’s suspicious, they should all be investigated.]

Mars milk man: [I hope the police investigates this case fairly and follows the story up from beginning to end, no cover ups should be involved.]

The police had been keeping a tight lead on the story and now, they were forced to come out and explain the arrest, it’s cause and promise fairness and complete openness. But Chi Lian had already started weaving her web around green gang and its income avenues starting with Sinner night club that they were using to launder their dirty money. Soon, she believed that she would get to the figure heads.
