~ YUE WANG SAVES PEOPLE ~
Mu Yunyao quietly stood there, trying her best to open her eyes wide so that she could clearly see the situation within the great fire. Her entire body was surrounded by a heavy wave of grief. At this time, she didn’t shed tears, but it suddenly occurred to people that there were words of Great Compassion and Silence. “Miss, please don’t do this. It’s all my fault. Iit’s all this servant’s fault....” Si Qin raised her hand and slapped herself twice. Previously, Miss clearly warned her that she couldn’t leave Madam’s side, but she was still too careless. She didn’t expect that such a thing happened just after she left for a short time.
Su Qingwu quickly walks to Mu Yunyao. As soon as he wants to say something, he sees Su Yuyi being helped by Qi Mama. She is pale, with tears on her face, and her skirt is dirty. She looks a little embarrassed: “Elder Brother.”
“Yuyi, are you injured?”
Su Yuyi shook her head, her tears falling non-stop: “My body isn’t feeling well, I wanted to rest in my room for a while, but when I was falling asleep, I smelled smoke. Luckily I woke up in time, and escaped while the fire was not getting bigger. Otherwise…… I won’t have a chance to see you, Elder Brother. “
“What about Aunt? Did you see her?”
“I didn’t notice. Did Aunt not escape?”
Mu Yunyao suddenly turned around, her cold gaze locked onto Su Yuyi’s body. The dense hostility in her gaze was like the edge of a blade, capable of cutting a person into a bloody mess.
After meeting Mu Yunyao’s gaze, Su Yuyi abruptly took two steps back. Just now, she almost thought that Mu Yunyao would cut open her throat, but after reacting, she became even more furious in her heart, “Cousin Yunyao, you must be sosad.”
“When did you leave the prayer hall?” Mu Yunyao’s voice was hoarse, and she spoke extremely slowly as if every word was squeezed out of her throat.
“I had not recovered from my previous illness. But today, I’ve knelt for another day. At night, I can’t bear it anymore, so Elder Brother, since he doted on me, asked me to come back early.”
“How long have you been back?”
“Cousin Yunyao, what is the meaning of this? Are you questioning me? “ Su Yuyi frowned.
The baleful aura around Mu Yunyao grew even stronger, “Answer me! How long have you been back?”
Su Yuyi originally didn’t want to answer, but under Mu Yunyao’s forceful gaze, his heart couldn’t help but tremble: “It’s been more than an hour. Is there a problem with that?”
Mu Yunyao tightly clenched her fist. Her palm was pierced through by a fingernail, and blood quickly flowed out. “Damn you....”
“Miss, look!” Si Qin and the others exclaimed. They hurriedly pulled Mu Yunyao to look to the west, “It’s Madam!”
Mu Yunyao suddenly trembled, and her lips couldn’t help but tremble. She tried twice before finally turning around and following the direction that Si Qin indicated. Her tears fell down.
Mother. It’s Mother!
The pressure around her body suddenly receded, and all kinds of noisy voices once again drifted to her ears. The moment she saw Su Qing, she felt that she had come back to life.
Si Qin hurriedly supported Mu Yunyao as they walked up to welcome her. “That’s great. Madam is fine!” As long as Madam was there, Miss would not reveal that frightening expression. Miss had always been serene and beautiful in front of Madam. They had always thought that this was the real appearance of Miss. However, just now, upon hearing the news that Madam might lose her life in the sea of fire, the aura around Miss suddenly changed. She was gloomy, cold, and angry, as if that the Shura hall is spreading out slowly...
Mu Yunyao rushed forward and suddenly hugged Su Qing. She opened her mouth a few times before hoarsely shouting out two words, “Mother....”
Su Qing hurriedly reached out to support her, but her body couldn’t help but sway for a bit. Fortunately, Si Qin has supported her from the side, so she didn’t fall to the ground. “Yao’er, cough cough .... It’s okay. Mother is fine. Don’t worry, cough....”
After a long while, Mu Yunyao finally relaxed. She anxiously looked at Su Qing and asked, “Mother, are you injured?”
Su Qing’s appearance was somewhat miserable. Her sleeves and skirt had traces of being burnt. Her arms were also wounded, and her feet were unsteady. “Don’t worry, cough cough … It isn’t a problem. I just accidentally sprained my leg. Cough cough.... I choked on two mouthfuls of smoke....”
“Mother, don’t say anything. I’ll hel you to sit down and rest for a while.”
“I am fine… But Young Master Ning... cough cough, he was injured … You...”
Mu Yunyao’s eyes trembled: “Yue... Fourth Master Ning, did he save Mother?”
“Ahem... Si Qi and I were trapped in the fire... The surrounding smoke was billowing, and the fire was too strong, so we can’t escape... Seeing that the house was about to burn down, it was Young Master Ning who rushed in and rescued Si Qi and me... He was accidentally injured when we came out. Now...” Su Qing throat was thick.
She choked the smoke badly. In the end, her voice was hoarse, and she could not make a sound.
Mu Yunyao hurriedly stepped forward to support her. “Mother, you don’t need to worry. Once we’ve settled you in, I’ll go visit Fourth Master Ning.”
At this moment, there were too many people around, so Mu Yunyao couldn’t afford to visit Yue Wang immediately. She could only wait for the others to disperse before doing so.
When Su Yuyi saw that Su Qing was okay, she opened her eyes wide, and a trace of resentment flashed across her heart: How could Su Qing escape with her life intact when the fire was already in such a state? How could she be so lucky?
When Su Qingwu previously heard Mu Yunyao interrogates Su Yuyi, she felt that something wasn’t right. Now that she had such an expression, his eyes suddenly turned cold: “Yuyi, you....”
Su Yuyi quickly came back to her senses. When she saw Su Qingwu’s gaze, she suddenly felt guilty. “Why is Elder Brother looking at me like that?”
“Since you are not feeling well, there is no need to continue praying. I will have someone prepare a carriage for you, so you can return home overnight.”
“Why?” Su Yuyi quickly shook her head, “There is still one more day tomorrow. I can still hold on.” The Grand Princess Yi De was still here. She hadn’t even seen anyone, so how could she be willing to return?
“Let’s head back to the residence first. There’s no need to ask so much.” Just now, Mu Yunyao’s expression was too frightening, causing Su Qingwu to feel unsettled. It was best if she sent Yuyi away first.
However, Su Yuyi was unwilling: “Elder Brother, look at my dirty skirt. It’s already so dark, and the way home is not easy. What if something happens to me? Isn’t Elder Brother worried?”
“I’ll have someone escort you. Nothing will happen.” Su Qingwu’s attitude was firm.
“Eldest Brother, why must you be in such a hurry?” Mu Yunyao walked over there at an unknown time, her pitch-black eyes glowing with a faint red light. In the darkness of the night, she gave off an indescribable feeling that made people feel somewhat demonic, her lips slightly raised upwards, but her smile didn’t reach the bottom of her eyes. “ It’s already so late. I heard those wild beasts would occasionally appear from time to time and hurt people in the vicinity. Even if there were no wild beasts, people’s hearts are unpredictable. Currently, everyone knew Eldest Sister’s reputation. If there was someone on the way … that’s hard to explain.”
Hearing Mu Yunyao’s words, Su Yuyi felt a chill in her heart, “Elder Brother, I’m not going back!”
“Qi Mama, Baohua Temple will arrange another place to live. You can take the Eldest Miss over to rest first.” Su Qing Wu looked at Mu Yunyao, and the light in his eyes became extremely profound. “Yunyao, Aunt and you were both frightened, so you should go back and rest at this time. If you have anything to say, you can talk about it in the future.”
“Thank you for your concern, Eldest Brother. Is Eldest Sister still going back?” Her gaze lightly landed on Su Yuyi’s body. Mu Yunyao blinked her eyes at an expressly quick speed. The curve of her lips deepened, but it was filled with a cold chill.
Well… dying would be too easy for that Mother Meng and Daughter Su duo. 😑
