Chapter 3

"What?!" Concubine Lie yelled. She stood up abruptly and pointed to Yingyue. "Huang Yingyue is not even capable of performing magic! She is weak!"

Yingyue stood up in anger as well. "I - am - not - WEAK!"

White butterflies, otherwise known as magic power, flew around Yingyue. In this world, the color of the butterflies told how powerful you were. White, the purest color of all, is the most powerful color. Only the Crown Prince is rumored to have it. The people in the pavilion stumbled back from the power of butterflies. Concubine Lie refused to stand down. This time, her own pale green butterflies surrounded her.

Feng's eye twitched. "That is enough!"

Black butterflies surrounded Huang Feng, and a look of authority was placed on his face. He slapped Yingyue. "Do not talk back to your elders like that!"

Yingyue grasped her stinging cheek. Glaring at her father with tears in her eyes, she yelled, "How dare you?! I am your daughter, yet you treat me like this?!"

"Learn some respect, Yingyue!" Feng yelled. Huang Jing smirked as she saw her sister getting beat up by her father. She silently high-fived Huang Qin behind her back.

Yingyue huffed. "The only reason why I am not going to leave this family is because of my grandmother. If not for her, I would make sure that all of you fall to your knees and apologize to me."

"Why you -!" Feng grit his teeth in anger and raised his hand to hit Yingyue once more.

Yingyue glared at her father. "Sometimes I wonder what Mother saw in you that made her want to marry you. You disgust me."

Yu grabbed her granddaughter's hand and smiled at her slightly. Meanwhile, Concubine Lie was surprised at what she just saw. 'Was that really Huang Yingyue?'

Yingyue sent one last glare at Concubine Lie before stalking out of the pavilion and returning to her own. She sat down on her bed and sighed slightly. "Peizhi, get me a copy of all bank transactions that was made during my absence. Daiyu, update me on what happened while I was gone. Father seemed to have changed."

"Yes, my lady." Daiyu and Peizhi bowed. Peizhi immediately went to work and went to get a copy of all bank transactions made from the accountant of the Huang family.

Daiyu, in the meantime, told Yingyue, "When you went missing, my lady, Concubine Lie somehow got hold of all the shops that the Huang family owned. Including the auction house and the herbal shop. She is now in charge of all transactions made in accordance to these shops. She somehow got Huang Feng wrapped around her finger. Jian and Qin have been mocking you. They are also in charge of all the money in your bank account, my lady."

"WHAT?!" Yingyue exclaimed. Her hand started shaking in anger. Peizhi returned with a scroll in her hand.

"My lady, this is all the transactions made during your absence." Peizhi said, giving the scroll to Yingyue. Yingyue too the scroll and read through it. By the time she was finished, she was shaking in anger.

"Daiyu, Peizhi," Yingyue said, looking up at the two servants. "Prepare a carriage to the nearest shop. It's time to correct everything they did wrong."

"Huang Family, you messed with the wrong person."
