Mythical Beasts: The Useless Lady Is a Genius!

129 I’ll Bring You Home

As Hua Shang sat on a chair carved from rosewood, he played with a small jade stone sculpture he had just found.

The exquisite and cute carving was in the shape of a rabbit.

As Hua Shang caressed the jade rabbit, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up. “Second Uncle, do you think my little sister will like this rabbit? She likes these sorts of things the most! I wonder where she went… She’s very afraid of the dark!” As Hua Shang spoke, his eyes gradually showed sadness.

When Mr. Hua saw Hua Shang’s sad expression, he couldn’t help but sigh.

Hua Shang had been weak since he was young. He locked himself in his room all day and refused to go out. Although there were many children at home, they liked playing outside every day.

Only Hua Xing knew how sad Hua Shang was that he couldn’t go out to play. She often brought all kinds of gadgets with her when she visited Hua Shang. Although the two of them were a few years apart in age, they got along very well.

However, ever since Hua Xing disappeared, Hua Shang had been depressed and his health hadn’t improved.

“The people we sent to find Hua Xing have never stopped searching, but there’s still no news.” Mr. Hua said helplessly, “Maybe she has already…”

Before Mr. Hua could finish, Hua Shang’s intimidating gaze immediately made him shut up.

“She’ll be fine!” Hua Shang’s eyes were filled with determination. “She must be waiting somewhere for us to save her!”

Hua Shang held the jade rabbit tightly, as if he wanted to hold Hua Xing’s hand.

Mr. Hua sighed softly. “I can understand that you’re worried about Hua Xing, but look at how chaotic the imperial capital is now. The Hua family is one of the five major clans. We have to do something!”

Hua Shang took a long time to respond. “What are we going to do?”

When Mr. Hua heard this, he couldn’t help but freeze, since he didn’t know how to answer.

“Do we have a way to treat the princess, or can we find the culprit who killed the eldest son of the Lei family?” Hua Shang looked distracted as he fumbled with the jade rabbit in his hand.

“Or will we take advantage of the conflict between the Nie family and the royal family to marry the half-dead princess?”

Hearing Hua Shang’s mocking words, Mr. Hua fell silent.

“I’m just anxious. In recent years, the Hua family has been suppressed by other families. Moreover, your health…” As Mr. Hua spoke, he frowned tightly. Clearly, he was really worried about the Hua family’s future.

“I’ll weigh the pros and cons of this matter. Second Uncle, you just have to do your own thing.” Hua Shang didn’t want to waste his breath on Mr. Hua anymore, so he cut him off.

Mr. Hua looked at Hua Shang and sighed helplessly before leaving the room.

As Hua Shang sat quietly on the chair, he looked at the jade rabbit in his hand. “Hua Xing, come back quickly. I’ll bring you home!”

After Mr. Hua walked out of Hua Shang’s room, a servant happened to run over to report.

Mr. Hua looked back at Hua Shang, who was still sitting inside in a daze. Then, he sighed and walked towards the hall with his servant.

When they arrived in front of the hall, Mr. Hua instructed the servant to report the news.

The servant bowed and reported, “The Lei family’s elder and Pavilion Master Hong Ling of High Heaven Pavilion seem to be having a secret discussion. Pavilion Master Zi Xuan seems to have been released.”

Mr. Hua frowned when he heard the servant’s uncertain tone, but he didn’t say anything. After all, it wasn’t so easy to find information about the Lei family.

However, since the Lei family and High Heaven Pavilion reached a settlement, it seemed that the matter of the Lei family’s eldest son had been resolved.
