Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 145

~ A PLAYTHING WITH A BIGGER MIND ~ 

 
Suppressing the churning thoughts in her heart, Mu Yunyao looked at Lady Jin and helped her pull at the quilt. “Even if Madam is angry in her heart, you can’t joke with your body. You absolutely can’t use this incense.”

A smile appeared on Lady Jin’s face. “I haven’t used incense since you told me not to use too sweet spice.”

Mu Yunyao’s eyebrows twitched. “But when I entered the room earlier, I could clearly smell the fragrance of Jasmine mixed in with the smell of medicine.”

“… It’s Concubine Wang. She loves to use jasmine incense all year round. She came to my room begging forgiveness in the morning, but I chased her out. The smell of Jasmine’s fragrance you smelt was probably left behind by her. Yunyao, is the medicine added to the incense harmful to my body?”

“Ordinary people wouldn’t find anything when they smell it, but you are pregnant right now, so you are more anxious than usual. If you smell this fragrance more, it will be easy to overthink it. There’s no problem right now. You only need to have less contact.”

Lady Jin sneered. “I was kind to them, and they thought I had lost my temper! I didn’t have a child by my side in the past, so I wasn’t willing to fight with them and didn’t think about it. On the contrary, I even raised their hearts up a notch. But they dared to do something to the mistress of the house and had the idea of my child. Since that’s the case, don’t blame me for not being able to tolerate these bitches!”

Mu Yunyao saw Lady Jin’s expression like that for the first time, and she couldn’t help but lower her eyes slightly.

Lady Jin realized that she had lost control of herself and quickly restrained her anger, “Yunyao, I’ve let you down.”

Mu Yunyao smiled and shook her head. “Every mother’s feelings about defending their child are about the same. With my mother’s soft personality, she can fight with others to protect me. Madam’s anger is also within reason, but don’t ruin your body just because of this.”

Lady Jin couldn’t help but hold Mu Yunyao’s hand and pat it. “If my child is half as sensible as you, I would be satisfied.”

“No matter how naughty the child, he is still the child that Madam carried desperately for ten months of pregnancy. Even though Madam saw him crying, you still felt he was extremely clever and adorable.” Mu Yunyao slightly tilted her head and blinked, an indescribable mischievous look appearing.

Lady Jin couldn’t help but chuckle: “It’s rare for you to show such an expression in front of me. I don’t know how much I was envious of your mother before. But don’t worry, even if the child in my womb is born, I will still love you.”

Seeing that Lady Jin’s expression relaxed, Mu Yunyao stood up and saluted. With a bright smile, she said, “Then I’m blessed.”

“You little girl!” Lady Jin smiled. The anger in her heart gradually dissipated.

Mu Yunyao then chatted with Lady Jin for a while. After confirming that Lady Jin was okay, she stood up to take leave.

Yin Hong walked her out of the residence. Just as she was about to get on the carriage, Mu Yunyao suddenly opened the curtain. “Sister Yin Hong, when you have nothing else to do, let Madam make some scented pouches and put them on Lord Cao.”

Yin Hong nodded in a daze. Just as she was about to say something, she saw that the carriage had already left.

When she returned to the courtyard, she saw the delicate figure of Concubine Wang being supported back by two maidservants. She couldn’t help but snort coldly and quickly walk into the room. “Madam, are you going to let Concubine Wang off so easily?”

“She’s just a concubine. There’s plenty of ways to deal with her.” Madam Jin replied with a cold expression as she leaned against the bed’s headboard. “However, if I were to make a move directly, Old Master would inevitably think I can’t tolerate people after I have an heir. Furthermore, I might not even like children at all, and I might not care about my reputation, but the child in my womb must have the best!”

The residence’s backyard was full of cheers and laughter, but countless people were inside every year. Concubine Wang was just the most ordinary of them all. They didn’t need to dirty their hands if they wanted to deal with her.

Mu Yunyao indicated for Jin Lan and the rest to withdraw. Only then did she tell Su Qing about the situation in the Cao family.

When Su Qing heard this, she could not help but sigh, “Every family has its problems. Looking at the brilliance of Lady Jin, in reality, there are a lot of troublesome matters behind her back.”

Mu Yunyao leaned on Su Qing’s shoulder. “Mother, don’t worry. Lady Jin isn’t an ordinary girl. She can handle such a small matter in the backyard.”

“Mm, your birthday is coming up soon. After your birthday, you’ll be fourteen years old, and after a year or two years, your mother will send you out to be married.” Su Qing suddenly felt a little emotional. She turned her head to look at Mu Yunyao’s beautiful face and couldn’t help but start to worry. Yao’er’s appearance naturally has nothing to say, but her character is always like a child’s. When the time comes, can she have a good relationship with her husband?

When she heard about marriage, Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but think of Jin Wang and quickly suppressed the coldness in her heart. “Mother, don’t speak carelessly. I’ll never marry in my entire life.”

“Nonsense, how could you follow your mother for a lifetime?”

“I will let Mother have her child for the rest of her life. Do you think Mother will despise me?”

“They say that a girl can’t stay in a place like that, but if you want to stay here, you’ll have to worry about it. When you’re old enough and have someone you like, I’m afraid that even Mother doesn’t need to tell you you’re anxious to get married.” Su Qing couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Who said I wouldn’t even worry about being home all day.” Mu Yunyao rubbed her shoulder as she hugged Su Qing’s arm and said coquettishly. “Mother, you can’t despise me. You absolutely can’t!” Su Qing was tossed and turned by her. She could not help but laugh. “Good! Mother will not despise you, and I won’t mind even if you have to live with me for my entire life!” Su Qing couldn’t help but sigh. Perhaps the heavens thought her daughter was too good, so they took her husband away early. Her mother-in-law tortured her for more than ten years to balance this blessing. Now that the suffering had come, he could only hope that everything would go smoothly in the future!

Only after having a good chat with Su Qing did Mu Yunyao return to her room. Thinking of the New Year’s gift that Lady Jin had mentioned, she couldn’t help but pick up the needle and thread and embroider two stitches. Carelessly, it pierced her finger, causing her to tremble slightly.

A dark red bead of blood appeared on her fingertip. She lowered her eyes and stared at the red color in her hand. In her mind, she couldn’t help but recall the figure of Jin Wang.

The Third Prince, Ning Junjin, was considered a legendary figure in the Capital. His mother, the Imperial Concubine Zhen, was the maid of the late Empress. After the late Empress passed away, the Imperial Concubine guarded the spirit of the Empress for forty-nine days before kneeling down and passing out. The Emperor passed by and sent her back to the Palace.

After that, the Imperial Concubine Zhen rose to the top. In less than a year, the Third Prince, Ning Junjin, was born, and she was conferred the title of Imperial Concubine. It was unknown just how many women had red eyes. This Third Prince relied on his handsome appearance and gentle temperament to become widely praised within the Imperial Court. It also caused the hearts of many women to feel adoration towards him. However, the original daughter of a noble family would always look down on him because of his mother’s background.

But who would have thought that this seemingly gentle Prince could quietly take over the Su family, marry the Su family’s precious daughter, and then leap up to become the best candidate to inherit the throne.

But unfortunately, she died too early, so she didn’t know who the throne would end up. She could have prepared another way if she had known about this earlier. “Aiya, Miss, how did your hand injured?” When Jin Lan brought in the bird’s nest congee and saw Mu Yunyao raise her finger in a daze. She carefully looked at it and noticed that her fingertip was stained with blood.
