Incurable Chapter 68 She Has Talent (2)

The Whole World Once everything was ready, Liu Anzhi changed costumes. Even dressed in coarse cloth with her hair braided, the little girl still somehow looked fresh and ethereal. She listened carefully to her mother’s instructions. The moment the director called action, her expression immediately changed. Tears instantly gathered in her eyes. The sight of such a tiny child looking on the verge of tears made everyone around them suck in a breath. Even Mu Wan froze for a moment. “Mother~” Liu Anzhi called. Mu Wan came back to herself and immediately entered character. Mother and daughter completed the entire scene in a single take. The instant they finished, the director called cut. Liu Anzhi immediately transformed from the obedient, sensible little girl in the scene back into a child who loved acting spoiled. Tears still clung to her eyelashes. Yet she was already smiling. Her eyes were crystal clear inside their reddened rims. She stretched out both arms. “Mommy, carry me.” It was he...

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 142

Chapter 142: A Wrongly Delivered Letter “That sounds like a good plan. Let the men write the characters ‘ Fu Shou An Kang’ (Longevity, Prosperity, Peace) and collect them. Afterward, the women can embroider them according to the pattern. Once the small characters are stitched together to form the large characters, if there are still any shortcomings, I’ll lead the embroiderers from Niyun Pavilion to help finish the work. This should not delay the New Year’s gift.” “Good, this sounds perfect!” Madam Jin said with great delight, not expecting that by simply visiting Mu Yunyao to check on her, she would inadvertently solve a significant issue. “But this matter will still require discussion with others. However, it seems nearly settled. You must prepare well, as this matter will require you to coordinate everything.” “Please rest assured, Madam. I will do my utmost. After all, this is a matter of bringing honor to Jingling City. I must contribute as much as I can.” “Good. Hearing you say ...

Chapter 141: Madam Jin Offers Advice When Madam Jin saw Su Qing, her smile grew even more sincere. “Between you and me, where is the need for so much ceremony? Hurry and rise. Come sit. I was just having Yunyao take my pulse. A moment ago, I even said I was craving the dishes you make.” Su Qing still felt somewhat restrained inside, but she did her best to control it. With a graceful and natural manner, she walked to the seat below Madam Jin and sat down. “I heard from Si Qin just now that Madam had arrived, so I immediately instructed people to prepare food. Madam only needs to wait a short while, and there will be something to eat.” “That is wonderful. Today, I can truly satisfy my appetite.” “Please rest for a moment, Madam. I will go to the kitchen and take a look, so they can prepare everything more carefully.” “Thank you for the trouble.” “Madam is too polite.” After Su Qing left, Mu Yunyao withdrew her fingers and helped Madam Jin straighten the sleeve around her wrist. “Madam h...

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 140

Chapter 140: Repaying Resentment with Virtue? “Although Niyun Pavilion has a resounding reputation in Jingling City, it has also drawn no small amount of secret jealousy. I spread the embroidery stitches because I want the golden signboard above my head to become even more stable. Therefore, I will help Master Tan train embroiderers and teach everything I know without holding anything back. When Master Tan passes the embroidery stitches down, you should tell everyone where these stitches came from.” Tan Lin frowned. “I can publicize Miss’s contribution, but how can I make sure that Miss has taught everything she knows?” “In the future, when it comes to embroidery, Master Tan may keep an eye on Niyun Pavilion at all times. If you see me using a new embroidery stitch, you may bring people to my door, or even report me directly to the authorities.” “Then one more point must be added. Miss may only cooperate with Caiyue Pavilion.” “Very well. Other embroidery workshops do not have Caiyue P...

Chapter 139: A Lavish Gift Mu Yunyao gave a soft laugh. “Niyun Pavilion has gained a firm foothold in Jingling City, but Jingling City is still too small after all. Now that everything is ready, it is time to expand it elsewhere. I was worrying over this matter, and Master Tan came to my door on his own. He can truly be considered to have helped me greatly.” “Miss, explain it in detail. Let me share in the joy as well.” After hearing Mu Yunyao repeat the conversation from earlier, Steward Qin could not help feeling somewhat worried. “Miss, teaching embroidery stitches is a great merit. How can you bear to hand it over to Tan Lin?” Would the merit and reputation not all be earned by Caiyue Pavilion? “Whether it is Niyun Pavilion or Buxian Tower, what I seek is not reputation.” Her original intention had always been to earn silver. Teaching embroidery stitches to gain a reputation was also for the sake of laying a foundation, so she could earn silver more quickly. If she blindly fought f...

Chapter 138: Will You Discuss This Deal? The next day, after Steward Qin heard that Mu Yunyao was going to meet Tan Lin, he directly cleared out Xiaoxiang Bamboo Courtyard. He even transferred Wei Yi over to help brew tea. Wei Yi’s tea-brewing skill was not considered top-tier, but his martial arts were the best. If that Tan Six-Fingers had a bad attitude, Wei Yi could throw him out directly. When Mu Yunyao heard this, warmth rose slightly in her heart. No matter whether she and Yue Wang would turn against each other in the future, for now, she felt that getting along with Steward Qin and the others was quite pleasant. “Many thanks, Steward Qin.” “Miss need not be polite. This is not Huai’an City. If that Tan Six-Fingers wants to throw his weight around, he will have to weigh things carefully first.” “I understand.” Tan Lin arrived on time. He was in his forties and wore a dark blue brocade robe. His bearing appeared extraordinary. Mu Yunyao’s eyes moved slightly. It was truly hard to ...

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 137

Chapter 137: The Owner of Caiyue Pavilion Arrives Mu Yunyao had not expected Steward Qin to react so strongly. “In truth, these are all ordinary seasonings. It only takes some care to roast and fry them. The cost is not much higher than ordinary grain. In fact, many merchants who travel to different places for business in winter carry some ginger tea with them. Has Steward Qin never heard of it?” Steward Qin froze. Then he shook his head with a bitter smile. “I have made Miss laugh at me. I accompanied His Highness out of the palace, so naturally, I never came into contact with such things while we were in the imperial palace. Later, after we arrived in Yuexi, the land there was poor in resources and sparsely populated. In winter, we often had to endure hunger and cold. Even His Highness himself had to be extremely frugal with a single basin of charcoal fire. “There are some cities around us, but the prices of rice and flour there are far too high. The monthly military pay issued by th...

Chapter 136: Yue Wang, Who Lacks Everything After the two of them had eaten something, Mu Yunyao noticed that Su Qing kept looking at her. She could not help blinking. “Mother, what is it?” Su Qing had a smile on her face, and her expression seemed somewhat emotional. “Nothing. I just feel happy.” Mu Yunyao thought she was talking about saving Nan’er today and could not help saying, “Mother also likes that child Nan’er?” Su Qing shook her head. “Mother feels happy not because we saved someone today, but because of you, Yao’er.” “Because of me?” Mu Yunyao did not understand. “Yes.” Su Qing hesitated for a moment, then held Mu Yunyao’s hand and slowly said, “You told Mother before that in your dream, you saw your whole life. Although you passed over many things briefly, Mother can imagine how you struggled step by step through every difficulty, how you did everything you could, and in the end, still failed to meet a good end…” Seeing tears in Su Qing’s eyes, Mu Yunyao quickly comforted h...

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 135

Chapter 135: Taking Them In “They were not injured at all. Earlier, they swore solemnly that Miss Mu had sent people to beat them. Now, looking at them, it was clearly all slander!” “That is right. Seeing how miserable they looked, I almost believed them.” “That Tan Bawang is the young owner of Caiyue Pavilion. They say people in the same trade are enemies. He must be jealous of Niyun Pavilion, which is why he deliberately came to frame Miss Mu!” “What you said is right. Otherwise, he would not have shouted so arrogantly just now and even claimed that Miss Mu wanted to murder someone. He was clearly making malicious accusations!” “Miss Mu, rest assured. We can all testify for you. Just now, it was Tan Bawang who falsely accused you. You absolutely must not soften your heart and let him off. Such an evil man should be punished.” “Many thanks to all of you neighbors for speaking up for justice.” Mu Yunyao bowed to the crowd and thanked them. Then she bowed to County Magistrate Zhao. “Ple...

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 134

Chapter 134: Tan Bawang Provokes Public Outrage Cai Qing soon followed Jin Qiao out. Seeing County Magistrate Zhao, she quickly bowed. “Greetings, Lord Zhao.” Seeing that Cai Qing was truly safe and unharmed, Tan Bawang could not help glaring at her viciously. This wretch must have betrayed him at the final moment. Since she had failed to keep her word, that girl Li’er could forget about living! When Cai Qing saw Tan Bawang, she could not help shrinking back. She hid closer to Mu Yunyao’s side. County Magistrate Zhao saw this scene, and his heart stirred slightly. He asked, “Cai Qing, did you willingly become Tan Bawang’s concubine?” Cai Qing quickly shook her head. “Lord Zhao, please see clearly. Tan Bawang was moved by lust when he saw me. He injured my two younger brothers and intended to force me to submit. Fortunately, my younger brother Nan’er has some friendship with Miss Mu. Taking advantage of the moment when Tan Bawang was threatening me, he came out to ask for help. Miss Mu ...
