Incurable Chapter 66 What Did You Say? (2)

What Did You Say? After Mu Wan finished exchanging affectionate messages with Liu Qianxiu, she received a call from Lin Wei. The postpartum nanny had just entered to feed Anzhi. Mu Wan took her phone and walked toward the window. The sunlight outside was bright and warm. She narrowed her eyes against it and answered. Before she could say anything, the sound of a baby crying came through the phone, followed by Lin Wei frantically trying to soothe him. Mu Wan waited until she had finally calmed him down before asking, “Why is Little Seedling crying?” Little Seedling was the nickname of Lin Wei’s son. His full name was Lu Yihe. He was one month older than Liu Anzhi. Lu Yihe had certainly caused Lin Wei plenty of trouble while still in her stomach. But after being born, he was actually very well behaved and rarely cried. “What else could it be?” Lin Wei sighed. “He wants to go out and play. Everything else about him is fine, but his heart is already wild. I don’t even need to think about i...

Chapter 165: A New Year Tribute That Shone Brilliantly Only after Yue Wang accepted it did Yu Yi finally let out a heavy breath. Once he sat back down, he heard Steward Qin give a quiet, cold snort from the side. A wail rose in his heart. The red packet he had only just received would likely be confiscated by tomorrow. Inside the Su Residence, warmth and liveliness filled every corner. In the imperial city of the capital, the palace was even more brilliantly lit. After the Emperor had accepted the congratulations of the imperial princes, ministers, and palace consorts, his face was bright with pleasure. Reclining slightly upon the dragon throne, he swirled the wine cup in his hand while admiring the song and dance below the hall. Seeing that the wine cup in His Majesty’s hand had emptied, Xu Li quickly stepped forward to refill it. In a soft voice, he said, “Your Majesty, this year the winds and rains have been timely, and the people are peaceful and well. This servant heard that a...

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 164

Chapter 164: It Looks Delicious After all the playing and laughter, dusk gradually settled. Su Qing went to prepare the remaining items for the offering to Heaven, while Mu Yunyao sat idly by the window, looking out at the snowmen. Yue Wang, for his part, had fallen silent, his thoughts hidden behind an unreadable expression. Outside, the sounds of firecrackers and fireworks had already begun to rise one after another. Su Qing, Steward Qin, and the others arranged the incense table, and everyone entered the courtyard to respectfully worship Heaven and pray for blessings. Since cloaks could not be worn during the ceremony, the moment Mu Yunyao stepped out of the room, she shivered from the cold. A quiet sigh passed through her heart. It was said that going from frugality to luxury was easy, but returning from luxury to frugality was hard—the ancients had not deceived her. Thinking back to her previous life, she had once dragged her broken leg through the snow to search for firewood; o...

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 163

Chapter 163: Calling a Cat a Tiger The entire Su Residence was filled with bustle and laughter, warmth rising through the ice and snow. Steward Qin stood to the side, smiling as he watched everyone make merry. He even slipped over to Yue Wang’s side to encourage him. “His Highness, you are also Madam Su’s junior. Why not go help carry a dish and earn yourself a red packet?” Yue Wang’s expression drew even tighter, the light in his eyes shifting faintly. Steward Qin knew well enough to stop at the proper point. After saying his piece, he immediately went to the kitchen to help. After a lively lunch, Mu Yunyao saw that Jin Lan and the others had all received reward money. A mischievous thought rose in her mind, and she suggested playing leaf cards. Jin Lan and the others hesitated. “Miss, this is the reward money we only just received. You are not thinking of winning it away again, are you?” Mu Yunyao blinked innocently. “Leaf cards are not like ice games. When playing cards, ever...

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 162

Chapter 162: Another Side of Yue Wang When Su Qing heard Si Qin’s report, she quickly brought the others out to receive their guest. At the sight of Yue Wang in dark robes, she could not help praising him inwardly. As expected, his bearing was truly extraordinary. “This common woman, Su Qing, greets Fourth Master Ning.” Yue Wang stepped forward and made a light gesture to help her up. “Madam need not be so courteous. This one is surnamed Ning, courtesy name Huaijin. You may simply call me Huaijin.” Su Qing had originally felt a trace of apprehension upon seeing Yue Wang’s cool expression. Yet now, observing his distinguished manner and hearing his modest, respectful speech, she could not help smiling. “How could I directly call Fourth Master by his personal name?” “Madam is my elder. If you address me as Fourth Master, that would truly place me in an undeserved position. As a junior, allowing an elder to use such a respectful form of address toward me would only diminish my own fo...

Chapter 161: Yue Wang, Who Would Never Think to Prepare a New Year’s Gift When Mu Yunyao returned home, the dumplings in her bowl might as well have been wax. Seeing her pick at them without appetite, Su Qing’s heart could not help but tighten with worry. “Yao’er, did things go badly between you and that Fourth Master Ning? Or does he intend to take Jinxiu Garden back?” Mu Yunyao came back to herself at once. Catching the crease between Su Qing’s brows, she hurried to soothe her. “Nothing of the sort. Jinxiu Garden is flourishing now and earning him a great deal of silver. Why would he suddenly take it back?” “Then why does Mother feel that something is weighing on your mind? Before Fourth Master Ning arrived, you were still happily playing on the ice with Jin Lan and the others. But after seeing him, you have looked as though your thoughts are tied in knots. Tell Mother the truth. Even if there truly is some difficulty, we are mother and daughter—we should face it together.” At t...

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 160

Chapter 160: Yue Wang Wants to  Spend New Year Together After Su Qing left, Mu Yunyao leaned lazily back against the soft couch, carefully turning over Yue Wang’s expression from earlier in her mind. Over the past half year, Buxian Tower and Niyun Pavilion had earned Yue Wang nearly a hundred thousand taels of silver. Even if that could not completely improve Yuexi’s circumstances, it should at least have relieved his most urgent need. Added to that were the several batches of ginger tea she had sent over. By all rights, he should have no dissatisfaction toward her. Yet just now, there had seemed to be coldness and distance in his manner. Could it be that he had secretly investigated her and Mother’s identities? The more Mu Yunyao thought, the less she could find a thread to follow. It was only when Su Qing came in carrying the freshly cooked fen dumplings that she realized quite some time had passed. “Yao’er, take these over quickly. Earlier, we had already agreed with Steward...

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 159

Chapter 159: Miss Mu Brings Fen Dumplings Yue Wang’s gaze remained fixed upon the lake below. For the first time, the chill in his deep eyes receded, replaced by open astonishment. He had never imagined that a woman could burn with such brilliance, like a cluster of flame setting the bitter winter ablaze. She was like a riddle. When they first met, he had thought her timid, yet she had calmly bandaged his wound, stolen his dagger, killed a man, and framed another with it. Later, after investigating her, he had thought her scheming and deep-minded, only to hear that she had selflessly aided Ding Yuelan and rescued the orphans from the Charity Bureau. Now, just when he thought he could finally see her clearly, she had shown him this fierce and pure side of herself. And such a complicated, unfathomable woman secretly harbored feelings for him… At that thought, Yue Wang’s fingers trembled slightly. He reached for the teacup beside him and drank the tea, already gone cold, in a single sw...

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 158

Chapter 158: Yue Wang Arrives Steward Qin finished securing the swing frame and looked toward the cautious figures moving one by one across the frozen lake. The corners of his lips lifted. Snow had fallen for several days in a row, and even the lake in Jinxiu Garden had frozen over. Miss Mu had brought the apprentices onto the ice to play. He had not expected that girls who looked so light and nimble on ordinary days would turn into rolling gourds the moment they stepped onto the ice. Yet the more they tumbled, the more spirited they became. Even without Miss Mu leading them, they insisted on going up and testing themselves again. Yu Yi came to stand beside him. “Steward Qin, tomorrow is New Year’s Eve. I wonder how His Highness is doing.” Steward Qin sighed. “His Highness only returns to the capital once for the Emperor’s birthday. On all other days, even the New Year, he is required to remain in Yuexi. This year will likely pass the same way. Still, with the ginger tea and the sil...

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 157

Chapter 157: Jingling City Again? On the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month, common households swept their homes and began offering sacrifices to the Kitchen God. Within the imperial palace, the Emperor sealed his imperial brush for the year and held a banquet, sharing the festive joy with his officials and people. Just as the banquet reached its liveliest point, the inner attendant Xu Li entered with two guards carrying scrolls. “This servant pays respects to Your Majesty.” “Mm?” The Emperor looked toward the guards behind Xu Li and immediately straightened, delight appearing on his face. “Those two guards—were they sent by Grand Princess Yide?” Xu Li quickly bowed and answered, “Replying to Your Majesty, they are people from Her Highness the Grand Princess’s side. Today, she specially sent them to present Your Majesty with a gift.” The joy on the Emperor’s face deepened. He even rose and personally descended the steps. “The Grand Princess has always kept Us in her thoug...
