Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 152

~ LADY JIN’S ADOPTIVE DAUGHTER ~ 

When Lady Jin took away the New Year’s gift, she immediately had Cao Yunnian deliver it to the Governor’s residence. After seeing it, his face flushed with excitement. He forcefully patted Cao Yunnian’s shoulder and repeatedly instructed people to invite the best master to frame the embroidery with the most meticulous methods. “Brother Cao, don’t worry. I will explain the source of this embroidery and its merits. You and Lady Jin are certainly not to be left out. “ 

Cao Yunnian didn’t say anything, but his heart was joyful. After returning to his residence, he held Lady Jin’s hand when they walked into the garden together. At the same time, he told her about what had happened that day. His previous provocations by Concubine Wang had indeed made him somewhat unhappy. Because of his anger, it had made Lady Jin sad for several days. She had even said words to sever her relationship with the Jin Family in Xi Ling. Later on, he had personally heard how arrogant Concubine Wang was behind his back, so she knew he had done it. At the tip of the horn, he had to spend many days before he managed to coax Lady Jin back. 

Later, when he saw that she worked harder every day while carrying her two bodies, he felt that his previous actions had been improper. Thus, in these few days, as long as there was nothing else, he returned to accompany Lady Jin. The relationship between the husband and wife was much more intimate than in the past. 

When Lady Jin heard Cao Yunnian’s praise of the New Year’s gift, she couldn’t help but talk about Mu Yunyao: “That girl is not only full of emotions and feelings, she also has a way of handling matters. You don’t know, every time I went to visit her in the past few days, she was thinner than before. It really makes one’s heartache when looking at her. Yunyao has put much effort into completing this New Year’s gift and is doing it earnestly. Seriously speaking, we have been smooth in this half a year, and most of them are because of her blessing. Seeing the New Year’s gift is ready, I should prepare a generous present and thank her well. 

“Of course, we have to give a present to Mu Yunyao but look at Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo. Which one of them isn’t trying to get rich every day? How much is this gift to be considered a generous gift? Then, what do you think, Madam?” 

“I am around the same age as Mu Yunyao’s mother, the Su family. I also like Mu Yunyao and have long treated her as a close younger generation. It has been more than half a year. How about considering her as an adoptive daughter? If anything happens to her in the future, taking care of her will be more reasonable.” 

Cao Yunnian thought for a moment. “Madam’s idea is so good, but Mu Yunyao had received a reward from the Emperor. Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo have golden signs written personally by the Emperor. Even the Governor’s wife gives her high praise. If we recklessly acknowledge her as our adoptive daughter, will it make her think we have something else to do with it?” 

“To be honest with Old Master, if you change someone else, I won’t dare speak this way, but towards Mu Yunyao, I could be sure she wouldn’t have such thoughts. That child is exquisite and delicate. Also, she is meticulous and considerate. She treats me with utmost sincerity. If the child in my womb doesn’t have her, I’m afraid I can’t protect it for a long time.” 

Cao Yunnian saw Lady Jin seemingly sad, and he hurriedly expressed comfort: “Since Madam is so certain, then I naturally have no objections. A few days ago, I invited a doctor to check Madam’s pulse and confirmed that the child in your womb is a male fetus. Now that we have recognized Mu Yunyao as our adoptive daughter, we can consider ourselves have both son and daughter.” 

Lady Jin smiled. “Then I will go to the Su family tomorrow and discuss this with Su Qing before asking for Yunyao’s opinion. Although we adopted her as our adopted daughter, we must still treat her as our biological daughter. I also want to bring her to her marriage, help her choose a kind family, and give her a rich dowry. 

“Alright. Everything depends on Madam.” 

On this day, Mu Yunyao was still lazily lying on the soft couch and saw Si Qin walk in quickly: “Greetings, Miss. Lady Jin is here, talking to Madam, and Madam is sending this servant to invite Miss to come over. 

“It’s snowing today. Why is Lady Jin here?” Mu Yunyao stood up. Jin Lan had already taken a cloak with a hare skin and put it on. After putting it on, she grabbed her umbrella and walked to the warm pavilion in the front yard. 

Lady Jin was smiling as she chatted with Su Qing. She immediately looked towards the door when she heard Si Qi’s announcement. The curtain lifted as Mu Yunyao walked in with light and quick steps. She was wearing a cloak embroidered with cranes and rabbit hair. She revealed a pleated skirt with red pomegranate flower embroidery when she walked in. She had a brilliant smile when she walked in, causing people to raise the corners of their lips curled up in a smile, and their mood improved a bit. 

After passing the cloak to Si Qi, Mu Yunyao bowed. “Greetings, Lady Jin. Greetings, Mother.” 

“Hurry and get up.” Lady Jin signaled Mu Yunyao to move forward and touched Mu Yunyao’s fingers. It was cold, and she quickly squeezed the heater in Mu Yunyao’s hand. Only then was she able to relax. “Seeing you’ve been quite energetic these past few days, I can relax.” 

“Madam has sent people to bring me tonics. Mother stews them for me every day. I’m worried that I’ll become fat like a ball in a few days.” 

Lady Jin was amused by Mu Yunyao, and only after a long while did she stop her laughter. “Today, I have come to discuss an important matter with Sister Su.” 

“Is there something wrong with the New Year’s gift?” Mu Yunyao’s heart tightened. 

“Even the pickiest person wouldn’t have been able to find the slightest flaw in that gift. How could there be any problems?” Lady Jin said, looking at Su Qing, “Sister Su, we’ve known each other for more than half a year. After getting along for so long, you should understand my personality. If you have something to say, I’ll tell you directly.” 

When Su Qing heard this, she could not help but feel nervous. “Madam, please tell me.” 

“During this period, Yunyao helped me a lot, whether it’s the clothes that attracted the butterfly at the beginning or the recipe for Rose Fragrance Dew, which helped me earn much money later. Her diagnosis that there was something wrong with my body helped me solve the knot in my heart for many years. Recently, she taught embroidery needle techniques and made New Year’s gifts without rest every day. I am deeply grateful to Yunyao in my heart.” Seeing that Su Qing was anxious and was about to say something, Lady Jin held her hand to comfort her. Then, she continued, “Sister Su and I are bound by fate. If it were not for you taking care of us wholeheartedly a few months ago, I would not have known what would have happened to the child in my womb. I will always remember these feelings. No matter how generous the gift is, I can’t express my gratitude in case. Therefore, I thought I might as well take Yunyao as my adopted daughter. In the future, we’ll take care of each other as sisters, and this way, you can count on us in Jingling City.” 

“… Madam wishes to take Yao’er as her adopted daughter?” Su Qing was slightly surprised. 

“That’s right. I came here specifically to discuss this with Sister Su. I wonder if you are willing to?” 

Su Qing was ecstatic in her heart. “There’s one more person that dotes on Yao’er. Why would I be reluctant to?” Lady Jin immediately smiled. “That’s great. Such an obedient daughter, I fear Younger Sister will not bear it! Yao’er, what do you think?”
