Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 160

~ YUE WANG WHO WANTS TO CELEBRATE THE NEW YEAR TOGETHER ~ 

Mu Yunyao lazily leaned back on the soft couch after Su Qing left and carefully thought about the expression on Yue Wang’s face. Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo had earned over a hundred thousand taels of silver for Yue Wang during the past half-year. Although it couldn’t be said to improve the situation in Western Guangdong, at least it could solve the urgent circumstances. She sent a batch of ginger tea. Logically speaking, he shouldn’t have been dissatisfied with herself, but his expression was cold and distant. Could he have secretly investigated the identities of herself and her mother?

The more she thought about it, the more Mu Yunyao felt like she couldn’t find a clue. Only a long time had passed when Su Qing returned with the cooked dumplings. “Yao’er, send it over quickly. Earlier, we had agreed with Steward Qin that we would spend the New Year together, but now that the Owner of Jin Xiu Garden, Fourth Master Ning, has returned, we should discuss this further. You should ask him if he wants to spend the New Year with us. If Fourth Master Ning is willing to spend the New Year with us, we will have fun together. If he is unwilling, please ask us what is missing. We will take care of it a little.”

Invite Yue Wang to spend the New Year here? It wasn’t easy for her to relax a bit. If he is here, it will be a bad year for everyone.

“Mother, Fourth Master Ning came over in a hurry. He must have his own arrangements. Let’s send him some things he needs for the New Year. It’s better if we don’t invite him rashly.”

“That’s fine too. Then, Mother will go down to organize the items and discuss them with Steward Qin. If there’s anything that’s lacking, we can make up for it.”

“Alright.”

Mu Yunyao brought the dumplings through the side door. Then she saw Steward Qin, who was waiting at the side. “The weather is so cold. Why are you waiting here?”

Steward Qin stepped forward and took the food box from Mu Yunyao’s hands, “I thought that since Miss Mu hadn’t told Jin Lan and the others the identity of Wang Ye, so you could only come over by yourself with the food box. Just in time, I came to welcome you.”

“Thank you, Steward Qin.”

“Miss Mu is too polite. Wang Ye is in his study. Please follow me.”

Yu Heng announced from the entrance. “Master. Miss Mu and Steward Qin have arrived.”

“Come in.”

Hearing Yue Wang’s cold voice, Mu Yunyao slightly took a breath. With a smile on her face, she slowly walked into the study.

“Greetings, Fourth Master.”

“No need for formalities.” There was a pile of account books on the table, and Yue Wang put down the account book after hearing that.

Steward Qin opened the food box and took out several hot dumplings and a few side dishes, placing them on a table on the side individually. “Madam Su has prepared a lot. I’m sure Wang Ye won’t be able to eat it all by himself. If Miss Mu has not eaten dinner, why not eat some together?”

Mu Yunyao hurriedly shook her head. “My mother prepared these for Fourth Master. How can I eat them? My mother is already waiting for me at home.” So, after she sent the dumplings, it was time for her to leave.

However, it seemed as if Yue Wang did not hear her words. He walked straight to the table, sat down, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating.

Mu Yunyao’s brows twitched. “Then I won’t disturb Fourth Master’s meal any longer. I’ll take my leave first.....”

“This dumpling is especially delicious. What’s in it?” Yue Wang suddenly said, and Mu Yunyao had no choice but to stop and explain. “Mother put in some winter bamboo shoots and mushrooms. She also used a bamboo knife to chop fresh meat, so it’s so tasty.” Her mother specifically wrapped these dumplings for her to eat. To make the taste pure, it was even more delicate. I don’t know how much time she took to make the stuffing.

Then, Steward Qin left. Yue Wang and Mu Yunyao were left alone in the study room. For a moment, there was silence.

Mu Yunyao was a bit anxious. Her mother was still waiting for her to go back and eat, but Yue Wang didn’t want her to leave. What did he mean by that?

Yue Wang had finished a whole plate of dumplings and more than half of the side dishes she brought over. Only then did he put down his chopsticks.

Mu Yunyao was slightly happier in her heart. If Yue Wang gives up after only tasting two dumplings, wouldn’t that be a waste of her mother’s effort?

“Have you prepared everything for the New Year celebration?” Yue Wang looked at Mu Yunyao. She wore a light blue-colored dress with the edges of the sleeves rolling. Her skin was as white as jade, and she looked like a sprout on a branch.

Although she didn’t know why Yue Wang had an interest in speaking, Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but reply, “Reporting to Fourth Master, everything is ready.”

“Is Steward Qin’s side ready as well?”

“Before, I didn’t know that the Fourth Master was coming to Jingling City, so my mother and Steward Qin discussed spending the New Year together. So, everything was prepared in one place, but it would not be troublesome to separate it out. After I go back....”

“Since we agreed to spend the New Year together, we might as well do it together. Why is there such a need to go through so much trouble?”

Mu Yunyao’s heart tightened, but she couldn’t show it on the surface. She could only reveal a smile. “That’s great. The more people there are, the livelier the New Year will be.”

Seeing the smile on her face, Yue Wang moved his finger slightly. His expression became colder: “En.”

Mu Yunyao’s smile stiffened. She was afraid that Yue Wang would see through her. She could only bow her head in greeting, “Since that’s the case, I’ll go back and tell Mother. Then, I’ll take my leave.” Without waiting for Yue Wang’s reply, she turned and walked out of the study.

Not long after Mu Yunyao left, Steward Qin walked into the study with a face full of smiles. He carefully observed Yue Wang’s expression: “Wang Ye, why did Miss Mu leave in such a hurry?”

“I’m not sure.” Yue Wang frowned. Initially, she was still smiling happily. But before he could say anything, she had already turned and left.

Steward Qin chuckled and said, “Girls have a thin face. Perhaps Miss Mu feels a little embarrassed!”

Yue Wang’s eyes flickered slightly. After hearing Steward Qin’s explanation, he nodded pretentiously: “Mn.” No wonder she was in such a hurry to leave. Before leaving, she lowered her head. It turned out that she was embarrassed.

“Wang Ye, the New Year is coming tomorrow. I wonder what your plans are?”

“Mu Yunyao just invited me to celebrate the New Year at her house. It just so happens that the items are all prepared together, so we don’t have to trouble again.”

Miss Mu took the initiative to invite Wang Ye? Steward Qin felt happier in his heart than if he were to celebrate the New Year. He nodded his head and said, “Isn’t that so? With so many things prepared together, separating them would indeed be troublesome. It would be livelier with more people. Does Wang Ye want to organize a New Year’s gift for Miss Mu? After all, it’s the New Year. During this half a year, Miss Mu worked extremely hard, so it’s only right to give her a year’s worth of thanks.”

“Mm. Since Uncle Qin has said so, I’ll also prepare one for her.”

“Sigh, Miss Mu must be so happy.” Steward Qin knew that it was already too rare, so he didn’t say anything more, “Then, this old servant will go down and prepare some things.”

“Yes.”

Steward Qin left the study happily and returned to write a letter to Eunuch Cheng. Now that he saw Wang Ye’s expression, he had already misunderstood Miss Mu’s feelings for him. Since that was the case, he might as well continue to misunderstand. Anyway, the purpose is to invite Miss Mu back to the Palace. As for the process, don’t be so solemn.
