Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 363

~ MENG YANRAN, WHO LIKES SNAKES ~ 

The guard’s eyes were gleaming sharply. As soon as they found the person who screamed out, they hurriedly surrounded them with his spear in hand and fully guarded. The guards in the hunting ground were no more strict than those in the Imperial Palace, so impossible for someone to take couldn’t take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos, so they were extra cautious in their hearts.

Mu Yunyao looked over and saw Meng Yanran, who was jumping up and down. She was the one who made the scream just now!

Meng Yu quickly stepped forward, “What happened?”

Meng Yanran was so frightened that her face turned pale, “Father, there’s a snake! A snake is crawling on my body! Father, please save me! Please save me!”

Meng Yu hurriedly looked around, but he didn’t find any signs of snakes. His eyes immediately turned red from anger. “Where’s a snake?” Did this daughter want to kill the Meng family? She actually dared to make such a ruckus in front of the Emperor. Even the imperial guards were alarmed. If they are really treated as spies or assassins, then the entire Meng family would be affected.

Meng Yanran continued twisting, even tearing her clothes on the spot, disregarding her own dignity. “It’s on me. The snake is on me. Father, save me! Save me!” That ice-cold feeling and greasy touch made caused all the hairs on her body to stand on end. She was so frightened that she lost all rationality.

“Yanran, you … what a sight you’ve got!?” Meng Yu hurriedly went forward to pull her, but he was thrown off immediately.

The surrounding noise became louder and louder. After hearing her scream that there was a snake, everyone moved away. However, after seeing Meng Yanran make a fool of herself in public, they all opened their eyes wide to watch the excitement.

The Emperor looked unhappy, and he didn’t bother to care about her at this time, so he waved his hand to bring Meng Yanran away. It’s a pity that Meng Yanran was frightened to the extreme. In addition, as a female descendent of a noble family, her clothes were torn in a mess. When the guards were unprepared for a while, she broke free away.

Finally, Meng Yanran tossed the clothes she had worn and shook the snake that had crawled on her back, and the thickness only her little finger. After falling to the ground, it still stubbornly wanted to climb over, but it was stepped on the head by Meng Yanran’s foot. Meng Yanran steps on the snake’s head and screams. She keeps stepping on the snake until it stopped moving.

Meng Yu’s expression turned ugly. He stepped forward and pulled Meng Yanran over, and he slapped her, “Are you crazy? Hurry up and kowtow to the Emperor and beg for forgiveness. Your Majesty, it was all this humble subject who didn’t teach his daughter well. She has stirred up today’s banquet, so I ask Your Majesty to mete out a punishment.”

The Emperor’s expression was dark. He frowned as he tried to restrain his displeasure. “Officer Meng Yu is down by one rank and take your daughter away.” There is his Imperial Older Sister here, and he didn’t want to disturb this banquet.

Meng Yanran quickly raised her head. She had just recovered from the terror, and now she was a bit more clear-headed. Although she was arrogant and domineering, she knew that all her reliance came from her family. If she were taken down like this now, she would probably never have another chance to gain a foothold in the future. “I beg the Emperor to know that someone framed me and deliberately put the snake under my clothes.”

The Emperor waved his hand, signaling the imperial guards. “Take them down.”

“Your Majesty is Mu Yunyao! Today, I saw two poisonous snakes crawl out of her tent. For a moment, I couldn’t think of any words to say and said that she was especially liked by the snakes. At that time, she threatened me, said that I was equally liked by the snakes, and now that the snakes have appeared under my clothes, it must be her doing! The Emperor

Mu Yunyao’s mind was extremely vicious, and her methods were unpredictable. With such a person on the hunting grounds, who knows how much trouble she’ll cause in the future?”

As soon as these words were said, everyone’s gazes immediately gathered on Mu Yunyao.

“Miss Meng, the slap I gave you that day was to avenge the time you slapped and framed me. I once said in front of the Emperor that after giving you a slap, the grievances between us will be resolved. Why are you suddenly targeting me today?” Even in front of so many people, her expression was still exceptionally calm, and her eyes were clear and peaceful, like a tranquil lake.

The Emperor had originally been unhappy, but after seeing Mu Yunyao’s appearance, he had an inexplicable amount of patience. “Mu Yunyao, you said Meng Yanran was targeted you?”

“Reporting to Your Majesty, that is indeed the case. After I changed my tent in the afternoon, I stayed in the tent to rest and didn’t come out again. Before the banquet started, I hastily met up with Miss Meng. In this case, what ability do I have to put the snake under Miss Meng’s clothes?”

Someone from the surroundings broke out into an uproar. “I can testify that Miss Mu did not come out for any activities in the afternoon.”

“This snake is not dead thing. If it was really released by Miss Mu, it would have taken at least twenty minute to walk from the tent to here. Could it be that Miss Meng didn’t sense it at all?”

“That is reasonable indeed. Miss Mu has let go of her past grudges, but I’m afraid Miss Meng still remembers the grudge between them and wants to take revenge at this time?”

When Mu Yunyao heard the discussions around her, she turned to look at Meng Yanran with a trace of surprise on her face. “Miss Meng, the one who ordered me to hit you was the Emperor. Didn’t you bear grudges against him? It was really too bold of you.”

Meng Yanran was so angry that she almost went mad. Not caring about her messy clothes, she rushed in front of Mu Yunyao and threw a punch at her.

While everyone was still in shock, a figure flashed by and kicked at Meng Yanran!

Meng Yanran didn’t even have time to react at all, so she flew out directly. After falling on the ground, she vomited out a mouthful of blood.

The exclamations that had just left people’s mouths were immediately cut off. Even the Emperor, who stood above them, widened his eyes in disbelief.

Mu Yunyao blankly stared at the tall figure in front of her. For a moment, she couldn’t tell what it felt like was. She only felt there a rabbit in her chest, which made her jump up and down violently.

It was Yue Wang who kicked Meng Yanran out just now. At this moment, he was standing in front of Mu Yunyao. His gaze seemed to be mixed with ice as he coldly looked at Meng Yu, “As an official, the Meng family has the guts to allow their daughter to commit violence in front of the Emperor. The Meng family is surprisingly brave!”

Meng Yu quickly kneeled to the ground and begged for forgiveness, “Your Majesty, this humble subject is guilty. When Meng Yanran was at home earlier, she had the symptoms of insanity, and this humble subject feels sorry for this daughter of mine, so he thought it might be alright if he took her to the hunting grounds to relax. But I didn’t expect that her illness was more and more serious. Please forgive me.” At this time, he would rather sacrifice his daughter than let Yue Wang blame the Meng Family.

Just as Meng Yanran was struggling to get up, she heard these words, and her expression became even more crazed, “Father, when did I get sick? I’m extraordinarily healthy. It’s all of you that are covering that bitch Mu Yunyao. She’s just a country girl. Isn’t she just able to earn a little bit of money? Why are you afraid of her? As the daughter of the Meng family, can I not touch her?”

Meng Yanran had always been a proud and arrogant person. After the successive attacked, she had completely lost control of herself.

Mu Yunyao looked at her coldly, but she didn’t reveal any expression on her face.

This time, Meng Yu got up himself, and without needing Yue Wang to do anything, he kicked Meng Yanran in the chest: “Evil creature! Hurry up and apologize to Miss Mu!”

Meng Yanran looked at Meng Yu in disbelief. After being hit so many times, just thinking about her own happiness, and did not care what she said, “Why, why should I apologize? Am I wrong? She was just a bitch. Which one of the young ladies presents didn’t have a higher status than her? What right did she have to change tents at will? What right did she have to be fooling around in the hunting grounds? Father, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid of Yue Wang? He was just an unfavor prince that exiled by the Emperor. A lowly girl from the countryside and an unfavor prince, it’s really a coincidence for them to gather together!”

~ DON’T WORRY. LET HER BE PROUD FOR A WHILE ~ 

Facing Yu Wang’s eyes, Mu Yunyao’s attitude was very natural and graceful. “His Royal Highness Yu Wang and His Royal Highness Yue Wang have something to say, so This humble daughter won’t disturb you any longer. Farewell.”

Yue wang also went to lead his horse to prepare to leave. He still had to instruct someone to arrange a tent for them.

Yu Wang blinked his eyes, and the light in his eyes became brighter. He spoke in an excited tone, “Fourth Imperial Brother, wait for me. What do you want to do? I will accompany you to make arrangements for the tent.”

“I dare not trouble Second Imperial Brother.”

“What’s there to be bothered about? I just happen to have nothing better to do.”

“Didn’t Second Imperial Brother.r say that he was going to hunt some furs to give away?”

“Imperial Aunt and Imperial Mother receive quite a bit of furs every year, and they don’t lack any furs either. There’s no rush, no rush. There are still several days to go hunting in the future!” However, if he missed the excitement, he wouldn’t be able to see it anymore.

Yue Wang didn’t mean to conceal his own intentions. Furthermore, his relationship with this Second Imperial Brother had always been good, so letting him know would not be a big deal. Yue Wang immediately found the eunuch, who was in charge of recording the tent and directly helped Mu Yunyao change to a new place.

Yu Wang stared at Yue Wang very strangely for a long time, his eyes filled with laughter: “Fourth Imperial Brother, this is not your usual style. Why, why did you suddenly have an epiphany? Do you want me to teach you how to please a girl?”

The Emperor’s four adult sons didn’t have a big age difference between each other. In total, there was less than a year of difference between them. When the three Imperial Concubines and the Empress were pregnant, it was a joyous occasion for the Emperor, but the outcome was rather hard to accept.

Yu Wang was a few months older than Yue Wang. Furthermore, Yue Wang’s personality was unruly, so he spoke more casually, “Second Imperial Brother is not even married yet. How do you want to teach me?” “Although I’m not married, my Wang Fei has already been decided. I only need to wait for Imperial Grandmother’s mourning period to pass before I can get married. You don’t have to say, filial piety for my royal grandmother is beneficial for these three years. At least, my relationship with your future Imperial Sister-in-law is pretty good. Your Imperial Sister-in-law is completely devoted to me well right now....”

“Yunyao isn’t an ordinary girl.”

Yu Wang’s eyes lit up, “Then quickly tell me, what kind of girl Yunyao is? I’ll help you come up with an idea from the side, and you’ll definitely have a beauty in your arms as soon as possible.”

Yue Wang shook his head slightly. “Second Imperial Brother, let’s go hunting quickly. Imperial Father said that the ones who can take the first place will be rewarded handsomely.”

“Didn’t you see the First Imperial Brother and the Third Imperial Brother? The two of them fighting like a black-eyed chicken, so I won’t go and join in on the fun.” Yu Wang’s eyes slightly narrowed as he coincidentally saw Mu Yunyao standing by the side of the tent, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers watching the excitement.

Yu Wang immediately pulled Yue Wang along and said: “Fourth Imperial Brother, let’s go quickly and take a look.” If that Miss Mu was in trouble, he could send his Fourth Imperial Brother and become the hero who comes to save the damsel.

Just as Yue Wang and Yu Wang walked over, they heard waves of alarming cries, immediately followed by a few snakes that crawled out of Mu Yunyao’s tent.

Yue Wang hurriedly rushed forward, unsheathed his sword, and cut the snake into two. He then looked at the guard beside him. “What’s going on? Why are there poisonous snakes in the camp?”

Meng Yanran smiled as she took pleasure in her misfortune, “Maybe there are some people who attracted to snakes?”

Before Yu Wang could say anything, he saw Yue Wang looking over with a frown.

His originally cold aura, at this moment, was intentionally giving off an imposing aura causing people to feel a sense of oppression in their hearts.

Meng Yanran wanted to mock her. However, when she met Yue Wang’s eyes, she shuddered and almost bit her tongue.

After laughing for a while, Yu Wang stepped forward and said, “There is a poisonous snake in Miss Mu’s tent. It must be difficult to live in it. This is not a good place to live, so someone had to change it for Miss Mu.”

Mu Yunyao’s expression was calm, to the point where the smile on her face didn’t change much. “Many thanks to His Royal Highness, Yu Wang.”

Jin Lan and Si Shu went to the tent to collect their gifts. As they left, Mu Yunyao turned around to look at Meng Yanran. “Does Miss Meng like recruiting snakes?”

Meng Yanran’s heart tightened. She felt a cold shiver down her spine. “What are you talking about?”

Mu Yunyao smiled and directly turned to leave. The new tent was extremely bright. After a simple arrangement, Mu Yunyao had a good sleep. When she woke up, the sun was already setting, and the guards were methodically counting the prey that the princes and officials had brought over.

The bonfire was raised, and the warm light could be seen from a distance.

Mu Yunyao cleaned herself up and felt exceptionally refreshed.

“Miss, the banquet is about to begin.”

“Got it. I’m going now.”

Just a few steps out of the tent, they bumped into Meng Yanran again.

Meng Yanran shook the handkerchief in her hand and snorted, “Hmph, bad luck!”

Jin Lan gritted her teeth again. “Miss …” This Meng Yanran was getting more and more out of hand!

Mu Yunyao pursed her lips and lightly moved her finger. Her smile intensified as she said, “Don’t be anxious.”

The torches were lit all around, and in the center of the open space, there was a bonfire. The surroundings were filled with music, creating a lively atmosphere.

Mu Yunyao had just entered when someone came over to welcome her. “This servant greets Miss Mu. Your seat has already been arranged.” The one who had come was an attendant. His attitude was especially respectful, and his smile was tinged with a hint of flattery. At noon, Yu Wang and Yue Wang personally helped her change the tent. Even if someone sent her a note at this moment, as servants, they wouldn’t dare to make things difficult for her.

“Thank you for your trouble, Eunuch.”

The Emperor and Grand Princess Yi De sat at the top of the table, and their smiles were especially bright. “Imperial Elder Sister, quickly look! Someone’s actually taking a few rabbits to count. Whose prey is on that table?”

Xu Li hurriedly stepped forward and reported, “Reporting to the Emperor, that was The Second Prince’s prey.”

“Jun Yu?” The Emperor looked at Yu Wang. “Didn’t you claim to be brave and good at fighting? He’s not even afraid of going to the battlefield. How come he only managed to hunt a few rabbits in a whole day?”

Yu Wang immediately stood up, “Imperial Father, I am very filial. Today, I found out that the rabbits in the forest were extremely plump and beautiful, so I wanted to catch a few for Imperial Father and Imperial Aunt to have a taste. These rabbits are the best in the forest.”

“Haha, does that mean we still need to reward you?” Look, Imperial Elder Sister. During the past two years, only Jun Yu’s face has grown. ”

The Grand Princess Yi De’s smile was deep. “It’s rare for a child to be so filial. Since my Imperial Brother didn’t reward me, so I collected a good bow and gave it to Jun Yu..”

“Many thanks, Imperial Aunt. Imperial Aunt, you know how to love me, right?”

Seeing how Yu Wang’s appearance of playing tricks, the First Prince smiled, but he felt extremely disdainful in his heart.

The Third Prince was also so angry. The reason why Yu Wang was so unruly and had a heroic personality was only because of his Imperial Mother’s noble birth. If his own Imperial Mother had a noble birth, then perhaps he would already have been confirmed as the Crown Prince.

Only Yue Wang was quietly sitting behind his table, with his cold aura and distant.

After he finished looking at Yu Wang’s act, the Emperor looked at the table with the most prey. “Who will be the first one to take the spot today?”

“Reporting to your majesty, it’s His Imperial Highness Jin Wang.”

The Emperor looked at Jin Wang and spoke with praise, “I remember that Jin Wang has been the champion of the Autumn Hunt for the past three years, right?”

Jin Wang stood up with a warm smile and a humble expression, “It was all thanks to Imperial Father’s guidance.”

Just as the Emperor was about to nod his head, a sharp scream rang out. This voice was especially sharp, causing him to frown uncomfortably.

Xu Li stepped forward and scolded, “Who dares to make a ruckus in front of theEmperor?”

~ SHE’S SLIGHTLY YOUNGER ~ 

Mu Yunyao looked and saw that the back of her hand was completely red and swollen, and there was an eye-catching purple mark on it. Her recovery ability was already not bad. After an entire night, it no longer hurt as much, but it looked exceptionally frightening, “The medicinal ointment’s effect is not bad. It doesn’t hurt today, but it will take a few days for the bruise to disappear.”

Jin Lan sniffed the smell in the tent and felt even more pained. “Miss, you’ve never been so wronged like this!”

Mu Yunyao smiled. “It’s fine. Autumn Hunt is officially starting today, and I still want to see the opening of the deer hunt. Let’s go.”

The hunting did not require the participation of all the ladies. But because of the presence of Grand Princess Yi De and the rare opportunity to show themselves off, all the young ladies were dressed in elaborate riding outfits and gathered around to watch the deer hunting at the start of the show.

On the high platform, the Emperor dressed in light armor held a longbow in hand. He had an imposing manner and looked majestic. Even though he was already old, his actions still carried a heavy pressure, especially his hawk-like eyes revealed a faint killing intent, “Today’s Autumn Hunt will be open to all officials and their children. They can show off their skill, and whoever wins the first place in the hunt, I will reward you handsomely!”

“Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!”

Hearing the deafening shouts from below, the Emperor nodded his head in satisfaction. He walked down from the high platform, climbed onto his horse, and raised his longbow high up into the air. He shouted to Grand Princess Yi De, “Imperial Elder Sister, I’m going to hunt a deer. I’ll treat you a roasted deer meat when we get back!”

Grand Princess Yi De couldn’t help but laugh. She stood up and waved her hand at the Emperor. “Don’t try to be brave when you’re old. Give more opportunities to the children below. Pay attention to your own safety and let the guards follow you closely.”

If an ordinary person were to say this, the Emperor would definitely feel that the other person was disobedient and cursing him. However, the person who was speaking was the Grand Princess Yi De. He only thinks that the other party is worried about himself, and his heart is especially ironed: “Imperial Elder Sister, you don’t ned to worry, I have a sense of propriety.”

The Grand Princess nodded.

The Emperor reined in his horse. He then turned around, glanced at all the princes who were riding on the horses in the front row, and said, “Which of you would like to compete with me?”

“Imperial Father. Fourth Imperial Brother and I are coming with you!” Yu Wang urged his horse forward and turned to look at Yue Wang, who was at the edge. “Fourth brother, come quickly. We will be the best hunter in Today’s Auntumn Hunt, and Imperial Father will reward us in all kinds of rewards.”

“Second Imperial Brother, go ahead. I am not very good at hunting.” Yue Wang shook his head because Imperial Father wouldn’t want him to participate in the event.

The Emperor looked at Yue Wang and shook the reins in his hand heavily: “Go!”

The horse’s hooves shook the skies, and the sounds of the blades and bows clanged resonated throughout the air, accompanied by loud and clear harmonizing sounds, which startled the birds in the mountains.

Mu Yunyao looked at Yue Wang from afar. In such a lively scene, he seemed to be out of place. From beginning to end, he emitted a cold aura.

Soon, the Emperor happily rode back his horse. Behind him, a guard carried a stag with lofty horns and a strong body in his hand. It died after being shot through the eye by an arrow.

The Grand Princess Yi De stood up with a smile on her face. “Today, I am truly blessed.”

After the deer hunting was over, the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed. Some of the young ladies who were good at riding horses chose a docile mare to stroll slowly around the hunting grounds. They occasionally glanced at the location of Grand Princess Yi De, trying their best to make themselves look more graceful.

Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but find it funny. She hadn’t rested well last night, and now that the sun had risen, she felt a little tired. She couldn’t help but walk towards a remote place and find a hillside to sit down.

Jin Qiao and Si Shu took a quilt and helped Mu Yunyao lay it down so that she would not be contaminated with the cold air on the ground. “This servants will guarding you. Miss, please rest for a while.”

Under the warm sunshine, Mu Yunyao couldn’t help covering her lips and yawning slightly. There was a bit of light in her eyes. She used her hands to support her forehead, bent her knees, and close her eyes for a moment to have a rest.

While she was still in a daze, she suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves nearing. She couldn’t help but slightly raise her eyes and see a tall figure coming towards her.

The person that appeared stood in front of her, immediately blocking the sunlight above her head. Mu Yunyao blinked, but before she could get used to the blinding light, she felt a cold fingertip touch her forehead, and a deep voice sounded with a smile. “Yunyao.”

As the light shone down, it created a circle around the man’s body that looked warm and harmonious.

Mu Yunyao was sleepy. She raised her hand to cover her forehead and glared at Yue Wang dissatisfiedly. “Fourth Master is not going to hunt? What are you doing here?”

“Why are you so tired? Did you not have a good rest last night?”

“Yes, my tent position is not very good, and I sleep very restlessly at night.”

Yue Wang let go of his hands and let the horse graze on its own. He then sat a little further away from Mu Yunyao on the grass, “Is it the Meng family or the Su family?”

There have always been many twists and turns in the distribution of tents on hunting grounds like this. Although Yunyao’s status wasn’t high, she was still highly valued by the Emperor. Coupled with her current prosperity, she would at least choose a slightly better tent to set up. However, if her position is not good, there must be someone in the crowd causing trouble.”

“It’s all possible.”

A cold light flashed in Yue Wang’s eyes. “Yesterday, I brought my men to the hunting grounds in advance to clean up. I just returned back to tents early in the morning, and I heard that the Meng family intentionally made things difficult for you in front of the Imperial Palace?”

He was sent to clean up the hunting ground. No wonder I didn’t see him yesterday.

Mu Yunyao had a slight smile on her face. “That’s right, it’s fortunate that I have everything prepared. Otherwise, I would have lost a lot of face.”

The light in Yue Wang’s eyes was even colder. “I’ll get someone to help you change your tent. You can go back and rest first.” It was also his fault for not being considerate and paying attention to these details.

Mu Yunyao stood up. Right now, there was no need for her to try to be brave. Moreover, there was still a good show to watch in the afternoon, so she had to be full of energy no matter what.

Mu Yunyao had only taken two steps when she suddenly felt a pain in her leg. She immediately saw a silly rabbit fall into the grass. It flopped to its feet and ran to the side.

Yue Wang picked up a rock and was about to attack when he saw an arrow accurately nailing the rabbit to the ground. Immediately, the sound of horse hooves could be heard. The Second Prince, Yu Wang, turned his body on his horse, reached out to grab the rabbit, and threw it into the hands of the guards behind him.

“I saw Fourth Imperial Brother here from afar. However, I didn’t expect that Miss Mu would also be here.”

“Greetings to His Royal Highness, Yu Wang.”

“Don’t mention it.”

“Why is Second Imperial Brother here? Didn’t you come to accompany Imperial Father?” When Yue Wang spoke, his tone was gentle. It was clear that he was on good terms with the Second Prince, Yu Wang.

“Imperial Father is accompanying Imperial Aunt. He said that he would be roasting deer meat in a while. I was just too bored, so I decided to hunt a few skins. When the time comes, I’ll give Imperial Aunt, Imperial Mother, and several other Imperial Sisters.”

As Yu Wang spoke, he sized up Mu Yunyao. He was well aware of his Fourth Imperial Brother’s temperament. Although he wasn’t favored as a prince, there were still people who wanted to win him over. Some of them even revealed the intent of marriage. It was a pity that this Fourth Imperial Brother had a cold personality and never got close to anyone. His life was like an ascetic monk, and this was the first time he had ever seen a girl around him. It’s just that this Miss Mu seems to be slightly younger …

Incurable Chapter 33 Part 2

Chapter 33 (2/2)

By the time the dinner was halfway through, Mu Wan found the whole thing deeply boring.

Since Mu Qing had come in as the female lead of this production, that role Mu Wan had hoped for was essentially gone.

She did not stay any longer.

While everyone was caught up in conversation, she slipped out to the restroom.

She had drunk four or five glasses of wine, but all of it had been red wine. She could still handle it. Mu Wan splashed some water on her face to clear her head, then, out of habit, stopped just outside the restroom to sober up a little.

Every private room in the club had its own attached restroom, so very few people came out into the corridor. The lighting along the hallway was dim and dreamlike. No one was there. It all carried a strange, faint loneliness.

Mu Wan tilted her head back and stared at the lights for a while, her vision darkening slightly. Lowering her head, she took out her phone and lit the screen.

Tang Qin’s Weibo page was still open.

Just moments ago, Tang Qin had posted a new status. In broad terms, it was a message to continue working hard and keep going. But beneath the words there was something else—a faint grievance, if one read carefully.

The top hot comment was from Tang Qin’s fan club, offering comfort and saying she would surely land an even better project in the future. Beneath that, people were already speculating that she had had a lead role snatched away from her.

Tang Qin was one of the hottest rising young actresses of the year, fresh off a major breakout idol drama. She was riding high and full of momentum. Of course, she would be furious at losing the role.

But furious was all she could be.

When investors decided to replace an actor, there was nothing the actor could do but comfort herself with words of encouragement to work harder next time.

If even a leading actress could be treated that way, what chance did a minor supporting actress like Mu Wan have?

It all felt profoundly pointless.

Judging from Tang Qin’s post, she had probably only just been replaced tonight. Otherwise, she would not have waited until now to post about it. If Mu Wan had known earlier, she thought, she would never have bothered coming back. She would rather have stayed in the temple, keeping Liu Qianxiu company in quiet cultivation.

The thought of Liu Qianxiu spread through her chest, warm and aching.

Mu Wan opened her contacts, found “Taoist Liu,” and called.

The line connected quickly.

Hearing the silence on the other end, Mu Wan could almost picture it: moonlight, a lone lamp, Taoist robes spread neatly, a man seated straight-backed on the floor, removed from the world. When his voice finally reached her, the image rippled like a reflection touched by water—broken, yet somehow clearer.

The corners of Mu Wan’s eyes curved.

“Finished?” Liu Qianxiu asked.

“Mm. The dinner’s not over yet, but my role is,” Mu Wan said. Looking down at her own feet, she lightly kicked at empty air.

“I really shouldn’t have come back,” she murmured.

Her voice softened with the words, making the loss beneath them plain.

Liu Qianxiu sat cross-legged on his prayer cushion and set aside the book in his hand. Looking out across the courtyard of the temple, he saw a pale crescent moon hanging above it all. His voice came low and even.

“What kind of drama is it?”

“A palace intrigue one,” Mu Wan answered, following where he led the conversation.

“Was there a role you wanted?” he asked.

“Yes.” Mu Wan nodded, drawing her leg back in. “It was an adaptation of a novel Gao Mei recommended to me. I’d read the novel already. The empress in it is a supporting role, but she’s written really well.”

After she said that, she lifted her gaze toward the far end of the corridor. Alcohol loosened the helplessness and frustration in her chest. Even rising actresses like Tang Qin could be replaced at the last moment. A small supporting actress like herself had even less room to fight.

“I should go home now.” She straightened from where she had been leaning. Longing spread through her in a soft ache.

“Liu Qianxiu, come back soon. I miss you.”

The moon hung solitary above the empty courtyard.

The quiet in his heart began to stir.

Liu Qianxiu answered in a low voice, “All right.”

On the other end, laughter bloomed bright in the woman’s voice. She said a few more inconsequential things, then ended the call.

Even after her voice was gone from the receiver, Liu Qianxiu did not put his phone away.

He remained seated on the cushion. The temple was cold and still. The night was like water.

Then Liu Qianxiu dialed another number.

“There’s a production,” he said. “Make the investment arrangements.”

There was a startled sound from the other side. It was quickly suppressed.

“Understood. I’ll prepare it immediately.”

After that, the other party hesitated, then asked carefully, “Should we reserve a role?”

“Mm,” Liu Qianxiu replied lightly. He picked up his book again and said, “A supporting role.”

Intens Love Chapter 108

~ I CAN HELP YOU ~ 

No matter how she hooked him up in the past few days, he was not indulging her like the first night. Su Jinbei was puzzled. What happened? What’s wrong? Could it be said that her baby Zhou will return to the ranks of abstinence men?

Zhou Shiyun slightly distanced himself and said in a low voice, “Don’t make trouble.”

“I didn’t make trouble,” Su Jinbei putting her hand on the back of his neck, “Zhou Shiyun, do you want to kiss me now?”

“......”

The two of them were very close together. Su Jinbei’s faint fragrance gently wrapped around him. It was charming, bewitching ... Zhou Shiyun’s hands gradually tightened behind her. He sighed in his heart that this woman must be a demon. Evil.

He lowered his head, bit her lip, put his hand around her waist, and lifted her onto the table. Because of this position, he can kiss her more conveniently.

Su Jinbei gave a triumphant smile on her lip. Baby Zhou, I won’t let you become a monk.

After kissing and kissing, Su Jinbei suddenly felt that Zhou Shiyun’s kissing skills seemed to develop in a straight path, becoming more profound and more provocative every time.

He bit her earlobe, and the heat blew lightly on her ear. As if deliberately torturing her, he kisses her back and forth in this position. Her ears turned from white to pink and from pink to red. Su Jinbei bit his lip, and the broken moan slowly overflowed out.

The room was so quiet, with soft sunlight coming in from outside the window, the warm light pouring on this couple of men and women.

Su Jinbei leaned on his shoulder and felt his hand tormenting her slowly. Her hand gripped his clothes tightly and pounded with the stimulation of bone erosion.

“Ah...” The most exciting feeling surged over me. Su Jinbei was suddenly stunned, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Zhou Shiyun extended his hand and touched her face affectionately while Su Jinbei raised her eyes to look at him.

Su Jinbei’s face was blushing, and her mouth was slightly open due to her light panting, so her pink tongue was showing. Zhou Shiyun squinted his eyes and felt like he had fallen into a fire cellar. She probably didn’t know how attractive she was when she looked like this.

But ... he can’t fool around anymore.

“Put your clothes on.” Zhou Shiyun said in a hoarse voice.

Su Jinbei was taken aback, “Huh?”

Zhou Shiyun had already reacted long ago. How could Su Jinbei not know?

“Jinbei, the first time I was impulsive.” Zhou Shiyun frowned slightly, “There is no condom here, so it is unsafe.”

Su Jinbei felt a burst of sweetness in her heart after hearing this. It turned out that it was because of her ...

“Don’t go.” Just as Zhou Shiyun wanted to turn around, Su Jinbei stretched out her hand to hold him, lowered his head, and said slowly, “I can help you.”

Zhou Shiyun paused.

Su Jinbei resolutely repeated again, “I can help you.”

As she said this, she shook her hand lightly and stretched to reach down...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They will go back tomorrow, so everyone is packing up now.

Su Jinbei sat on the chair in the room and watched everyone pack the medical equipment. Initially, she wanted to help, but she was turned down...

“Jinbei, I am so happy to go back.” Lin Qingwei said with a smile, “There is no network here. The lack of internet here should drive you crazy.”

Su Jinbei curled her lips. She grinned, and her eyes fell on Zhou Shiyun in the distance, “It’s strange. I actually think I’m fine without the internet.”

Lin Qingwei followed her gaze and felt he had been fed a handful of dog food again. “Because Senior Brother is here, you think you don’t feel bored at all, right?”

Su Jinbei looked at him, “Smart.”

Lin Qingwei shook his head, “To be honest, I admire you very much. You could say that Senior Brother is so rigid and boring. How can you get along with him?”

Su Jinbei smiled strangely, “Xiao Wei, he is rigid and boring all in front of you, but in front of me, he is not like that.”

Lin Wei paused, “Ah ...... what’s he like? Share it with me?”

Su Jinbei looked at him disgustingly, “Are you kidding? It can only be known by the two of us.”

Lin Qingwei, “Hey, I don’t know that you like this!”

“Darling, if you want to know how sweet he is, you can find your girlfriend to experience it.”

Lin Qingwei, “...”

You just know how to bully single dogs!

The next day, everyone was ready to go.

“Shiyun, Jinbei, come and play here again if you have time.” Zhang Chao said as he hugged them.

“Okay, Doctor Zhang. You can also bring Xiao Yuan to see us.”

“Fine.”

“Xiao Yuan, be obedient in the future.” Su Jinbei bent over and touched Xiao Yuan’s head.

Xiao Yuan reluctantly held Su Jinbei’s hand and said, “Sister Jinbei, you can’t forget Xiao Yuan.”

“Of course, how could I forget you.”

Xiao Yuan sniffed, and his big black eyes were red. Liu Tingting on the side is similar. After these days, she also developed a revolutionary friendship with Su Jinbei. She wouldn’t have spoken about her feelings to Zhang Chao if it weren't for her.

Su Jinbei looked at Liu Tingting as she was about to cry and said quickly, “Eh, eh, don’t you cry, or I would be so sad.”

“Jingbei, I...”

“I know, I know, Tingting. I’m reluctant to part with you either.”

Liu Tingting heard it, so her eyes reddened.

Incurable Chapter 33 Part 1

Chapter 33 (1/2)

He was not lying.

She could feel his hardness. He could not help wanting to be close to her. And the reason he had to endure it, in the end, was still because of her.

It was a loop—back and forth, round and round—only to arrive again at the same unsolved place.

If it were ever to be untied, it could only happen after they went back down the mountain.

They did not leave the mountain together.

After the rain stopped, Mu Wan returned to Qingyuan Temple with Liu Qianxiu. The moment they arrived, she received a call from Li Nan.

Last month, Gao Mei had recommended a drama to her. There had been one role in it that Mu Wan liked quite a lot, so she had asked Li Nan to keep an eye on it. This month, production officially entered preparation. The leads had already been finalized, and Mi Yu had accepted the role of second female lead.

There was a production dinner tonight. Li Nan wanted Mi Yu to bring Mu Wan along. If the director took a liking to her, getting that role would not be difficult. After all, the supporting cast still had not been finalized.

“Where are you right now?” Li Nan asked.

“Out of town,” Mu Wan replied.

“You need to come back,” Li Nan said. “You don’t have any work lined up after this, and this is a project you actually like. Be at the Tilting Nest production office before five. At eight, Mi Yu will take you with her to Qinghu Business Club.”

The mountain had just been washed by rain. Distant peaks still wore a veil of mist, blurred and dreamlike. Yet standing high above them all, one still felt that expansive clarity that came with seeing the mountains beneath one’s feet.

Mu Wan took a breath and said, “Got it.”

After hanging up, she stepped back into the temple grounds.

At the side hall entrance, Liu Qianxiu was leading the just-awakened Qingchan by the hand. One large figure, one small. Both turned to look at her.

Meeting Liu Qianxiu’s gaze, Mu Wan said, “I need to go back first.”

In truth, she did not want to part from him. But she could not let Mu Qing ruin her career this easily. If the roles already set for her had all been stripped away, then she could only start again with the roles that had not yet been cast.

“Are you leaving, Sister?” Qingchan asked, looking reluctant.

“Yes,” Mu Wan answered. “Sister has to go back and deal with work.”

Liu Qianxiu pressed his lips together slightly and looked at her for a long moment.

“I’ll take you,” he said.

Since Qingchan could not be left alone in the temple, Liu Qianxiu simply brought him along as well.

He drove Mu Wan back to the film base, then took Qingchan and returned to Qingyuan Temple.

The film base felt hotter than the mountain, even after the rain—stuffy in that sealed-in, airless way that made one irritable. Stepping back into it after her time at the temple, Mu Wan heard once again the noisy bustle of filming and somehow felt as if she had crossed into another life.

Mi Yu was currently filming a Republican-era drama called Tilting Nest. She had taken many projects this year. She had only just turned thirty-two a few days ago, and with her prime already beginning to shorten, she was still trying to make one final push—one last gamble on becoming truly famous.

Mu Wan had also originally been in Tilting Nest. Had her scenes not been cut, she would have been on set right now as well.

There were familiar faces in the production crew. Mu Wan greeted them one by one before making her way to Mi Yu.

Mi Yu was reading through her script. The corner of her eye flicked up when she saw Mu Wan approach, then her attention went right back to the pages in her hand.

When Mu Wan stopped beside her, Mi Yu caught a faint sandalwood scent drifting from her—clear, cooling, the kind that seemed to settle the mind.

“Did you go to a temple?” she asked. Compared with Taoism, Buddhism had a much deeper everyday presence in modern society.

Li Nan was not around. Mu Wan sat down beside Mi Yu and shook her head.

“No. I went to a Taoist temple.”

“You do have an easy life,” Mi Yu said with a half-laugh, her tone hard to read.

Even so, Mu Wan knew there was no mockery in it.

Mi Yu’s temper was not great, but she was not a bad person. If anything, she was all sharp tongue and soft heart. She could be merciless with her words, but so long as she had secured a role, she would usually help bring along junior artists from the same company if she could. A large share of Mu Wan’s acting jobs had come from Mi Yu taking her along.

Mi Yu hated being overshadowed. Mu Wan only wanted good supporting roles. Somehow, the two of them had reached a strange but workable balance.

Since Mu Wan had nothing else to do just then, she lifted her eyes to the script in Mi Yu’s hands and asked, “Want to run lines?”

Mi Yu glanced at her. After only one look, she handed the script over.

“Let’s do it. Start from Scene Three.”

Mi Yu had played second female lead roles for years and was always sensitive about final casting. Mu Wan had not asked who the male and female leads were for this drama. While Mi Yu went off to film, Mu Wan searched it on her phone herself.

Several entertainment accounts on Weibo said that the female lead had been cast as Tang Qin, a rising young actress.

Before productions finalized casting, it was common for marketing accounts to begin building public interest in advance. Usually, it was not just empty noise.

Since Mu Qing did not seem to be involved, Mu Wan closed her phone and thought nothing more of it.

Dinner is neither too early nor too late. The private room had just settled into seating.

Naturally, the director and producer had the most prominent places, along with the male and female leads. The director, producer, and male lead were all already there.

The female lead, however, had not yet arrived.

The seat beside Mi Yu for the female lead remained empty.

Clearly, everyone was still waiting.

But with Tang Qin’s current standing, she should not have been important enough to keep both the director and producer waiting like this. Mu Wan’s brows drew together slightly. She took out her phone and opened Weibo again. She had only just typed “Tang Qin” into the search bar when someone outside the room said—

“Miss Mu has arrived.”

Mu Wan’s finger paused.

She lifted her head toward the door.

Mu Qing walked in.

At first, there was a flicker of hushed talk around the table. But once everyone saw Shen Cheng behind Mu Qing, understanding spread at once.

Mu Qing’s casting in Red Embroidery had already caused an uproar. Everyone knew she was the cinnabar mark on the heart of Young Master Shen from Shen Entertainment.

So what if the role had already been publicly announced as Tang Qin’s?

When Shen Entertainment wanted to take a role away, it took it.

No one had expected Shen Cheng to come in person. The director could not stay seated. He rose from the head of the table and said politely, “Young Master Shen, would you like to sit here?”

“No need,” Shen Cheng replied coolly. “I’ll sit with Mu Qing. Please, all of you, continue as usual.”

Shen Cheng was the only son of the Shen family, a real rich second-generation heir. His family owned entertainment and media businesses. The actresses under their company were countless, and his private life had always been famously wild and extravagant.

And now this reckless playboy had turned around and was indulging his beloved with unmistakable tenderness. It was hard not to envy.

He was actually good-looking—tall, lean, sharp-featured, his brows carrying the cold arrogance of someone born above consequences.

After Mu Qing sat down, Shen Cheng’s gaze lowered darkly toward Mi Yu. Mi Yu understood at once and stood up.

At the same time, everyone seated beneath Mi Yu also stood, each shifting down one place.

Once Shen Cheng took his seat, the rest of them sat again.

Throughout the entire scramble, Mu Qing’s expression never changed. She sat there with composed grace. Once Shen Cheng was settled, she leaned close and said something softly to him. Every glance and smile of hers resembled a white lily opening—pure, elegant, self-contained.

This was what a true white moonlight looked like. No wonder Shen Cheng kept her guarded at the very tip of his heart.

Mu Wan did not look directly at them, yet she could clearly feel that after Mu Qing finished speaking, Shen Cheng’s attention swept toward her.

Mu Wan’s expression did not shift. She raised her eyes and looked straight back, then smiled faintly.

The instant she met Shen Cheng’s gaze, Mu Qing turned toward him and called his name, drawing his attention back to herself.

One of Mu Wan’s brows lifted slightly.

She let out a soft laugh.

Dinner began. Glasses clinked. The room grew even noisier as everyone began taking turns offering toasts.

Nearly every actor present toasted the director.

Mu Wan drank two glasses on Mi Yu’s behalf.

She had only just finished substituting for Mi Yu when Mu Qing lifted her own wineglass. Before she could rise, Shen Cheng took it from her.

Setting the glass aside, he said, “You can’t drink.”

Mu Qing smiled and looked first at the glass, then at Shen Cheng, putting on a faintly troubled expression.

“That wouldn’t be polite. Everyone else has already toasted. I’m the female lead. If I don’t, it would be disrespectful to the director.”

The moment she said that, the director hurriedly waved both hands.

“No, no, no. Not necessary. It’s the thought that counts.”

Shen Cheng drank on her behalf, and the director, overwhelmed, quickly emptied his own glass too.

Once Shen Cheng set his drink down, Mu Qing murmured something to him. Shen Cheng smiled and lifted a hand to touch her hair.

Another wave of admiration spread through the room.

From beginning to end, Mu Qing never once gave Mu Wan so much as a look.

And yet her purpose—to flaunt herself in front of Mu Wan—had already been fully achieved.

Intense Love Chapter 107

~ LOOKING FOR TROUBLE ~ 

Su Jinbei changed the trousers Zhou Shiyun had given her. After all, they were too long and too big, so they were uncomfortable wearing them. But she didn’t remove the shirt because his shirt matched her little skirt and had a different flavor.

Of course, Su Jinbei, who did not like makeup, also put pink and tender makeup on herself. Although the rivals seemed to have no offensive power, she didn’t want to lose where the tender collagen was placed.

After the rectification, Su Jinbei came out of the room. At this time, Zhou Shiyun was no longer there. Su Jinbei thought very intimately, um... ah, her baby Zhou must have been shy.

In the next few days, Yang Zizi frequently visited the medical team. Sometimes, she comes there to deliver food and sometimes to deliver tea. Everyone saw the girl approaching Doctor Zhou as time passed because her eyes had never left him.

As for Zhou Shiyun, on the other hand, he was utterly neglecting her. It could also be said that he was unaware of her because he didn’t notice her. There is sympathy for Yang Zizi and a desire to watch the drama in this unequal love triangle In other people’s hearts. The people who eat melon say the main character is too hard to shake.

During the lunch break that day, Yang Zizi brought meals to everyone again. She only brought food for doctors and nurses and made them according to their number. However, Su Jinbei is sitting on the side playing mobile games today.

“Sister Jinbei, I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were here, so I didn’t make it for you.” Yang Zizi said with an apologetic expression.

Just as Lin Qingwei was about to move his chopsticks, he heard it and hurriedly said, “It’s all right, Jinbei. I’ll give you mine.”

“Doctor Lin, you must be hungry because you are so busy.” Yang Zizi said softly, “Sister Jinbei is not so busy, so she should not be hungry.”

Su Jinbei put down her phone and raised her eyes to look at her. Yang Zizi’s smiley eyes were both coquettish and speechless. Even if Yang Zizi knew Su Jinbei was here, she wouldn’t make more for her and share it. This girl’s hostility has been too apparent these past few days.

Yang Zizi couldn’t bear to see her, so she turned around to find Zhou Shiyun, “Brother Shiyun, don’t be busy for now. Let’s eat meals first.”

Zhou Shiyun said lightly, “I’m not hungry.”

“Then, treat it as a snack. Otherwise, you will be hungry.”

“Baby Zhou, she made it specifically for you. Why don’t you appreciate it?” Su Jinbei said suddenly.

The spectators choked.

Zhou Shiyun turned his head to look at Su Jinbei, “I’m not hungry. Do you want to eat it?”

Su Jinbei’s eyes slyly passed, “I want to eat a little bit, but I don’t have my share.”

“Oh, then you can take mine.”

Yang Zizi was taken aback, “Brother Shiyun...”

Zhou Shiyun nodded slightly toward her and walked to his room with the medicine box. Su Jinbei stretched herself and stood up, “Actually, I don’t particularly want to eat, so we won’t eat the meal. We’ll return to our rooms first, and I hope everyone has a good rest at noon.”

Yang Zizi’s face paled as she emphasized in Su Jinbei’s words, “We’ll go back to our rooms first.”

Zhou Shiyun is the person she has always thought of since childhood. Even if she knew an extra person was beside him, she still could not control her heart. She always thought maybe he could see her better, or perhaps they hadn’t developed a more profound step, or maybe he did not love her so much……

The people in the room looked at each other, then bowed their heads and went to eat a meal in silence. Miss Su’s method is concise and transparent, making killing people invisible.

Zhou Shiyun returned the medicine box to his room, took out the used medicine, and replaced it with a new one.

Su Jinbei lazily walked into his room and closed the door smoothly.

Zhou Shiyun glanced at her sideways, “Are you not eating?”

“How dare I eat it.” Su Jinbei said as she spread her hands. “She said that she made it specifically for you. If I eat it, she will hate me in her heart.”

Zhou Shiyun slightly curled his lips, “Wouldn’t you still dare?”

Su Jinbei walked over, leaning on the table to look at Zhou Shiyun, and joked, “That’s a rival in love. You know a woman who uses too much affection will be terrible and cruel. In case I get caught, and anything should happen to me.....”

“Su Jinbei.” Zhou Shiyu’s brow pressed with a note of warning. Maybe it was because he still had lingering fears about missing Xiao Yuan last time, so he didn’t like to hear such unlucky words.

Su Jinbei stretched out her hand and squeezed his face, “Oh, I’m just kidding.”

Zhou Shiyun’s face turned dark, saying, “...Put your hands down.”

“You have good skin.” Su Jinbei’s expression was restrained, and she earnestly said, “I don’t usually see you put on a face mask.”

Zhou Shiyun held her wrist and buckled her hand back, “If you can’t stay still, just touch yourself.”

Su Jinbei chuckles, “I know I have good skin...and you know it too.”

Zhou Shiyun’s eyes were stagnant, and the memory of that night flashed through her words with ulterior motives. Silky and delicate skin like satin, body with bewitching fragrance...

Su Jinbei’hand slowly climbed onto his shoulders, leaned forward, and whispered, “Don’t tell me you have forgotten.”

The warm breath lingered in his ears. Zhou Shikai was stunned, and his eyes darkened with astonishment.

“Su Jinbei, are you looking for trouble?”

Su Jinbei’s eyes brightened, “How do you know?”

~ THE TENTS ARRANGEMENTS ~ 

Hearing Mu Yunyao’s rejection, Yu Wang did not have any other reactions. He only nodded and said, “Alright then. It’ll take a whole day to get to the hunting grounds. If Miss Mu needs anything, you can send someone to inform me.”

Mu Yunyao’s heart stirred slightly as she lifted her head to look at Yu Wang. She noticed that he had a smile on his face. His eyes are clear and bright. His expression was carefree, he didn’t seem to have any other intentions, and she couldn’t help but smile: “Thank you, His Royal Highness.”

Noticing Mu Yunyao sizing him up and the faint defenses she seemed to have, so Yu Wang felt a sense of novelty, “Alright, I still have other things to do, so I’ll head off first.”

“Respectfully sending off His Royal Highness, Yu Wang.”

Meng Handong looked at Mu Yunyao angrily and hurriedly ordered his men to clean up the bloodstains on the ground.

The surrounding spectators laughed in secret. Meng Handong suddenly attacked to kill Mu Yunyao’s horse in order to humiliate her. His goal was not achieved, but instead, the other side got Yu Wang’s green eyes because of this. It’s really impossible to steal a chicken.

If Grand Preceptor Meng knew of his actions today, he might even drag him back to the ancestral hall to kneel. A dignified grandson of the Grand Preceptor, speak and do things without thinking at all. They really didn’t know how many sins Grand Preceptor Meng had committed to having such good-for-nothing grandchildren.

Sensing the mockery in the surrounding people, Meng Handong’s heart became even more furious. He aggressively glared at Mu Yunyao.

Mu Yunyao smiled. Her cold eyes looked back at Meng Handong, and as she blinked her eyes, a cold killing intent flashed by.

Everyone originally thought that Mu Yunyao would find the Su family’s Eldest Madam to ride on the same carriage. But unexpectedly, in less than a quarter of an hour, an identical carriage had rushed over.

Liu Liang jumped off the carriage and greeted Mu Yunyao, “Miss, the carriage is ready.”

The horn sounded, and the crowd immediately lost their desire to watch the show. One by one, the people boarded their carriages, and prepared to leave the Capital, went to the hunting grounds.

Mu Yunyao got on the carriage, and as she entered, she couldn’t help but turn around to scan her surroundings, and when she didn’t see the figure of Yue Wang, she couldn’t help but feel a slight sense of disappointment.

Inside the carriage, Jin Lan was indignant. “Miss, that Meng Han Dong is obviously targeting you deliberately. You must be careful.”

“Don’t worry, it’s just a little clown. It won’t be a problem.”

The hunting grounds were located at the border between the Capital and Ji Prefecture. They were filled with beautiful scenery, lush with dense forests, and had an exceedingly wide range.

After a full day of travel, everyone was mentally exhausted. When they arrived at the hunting grounds, they saw that the sky was already completely dark. They all went to the tents that people had arranged beforehand to rest.

Mu Yunyao originally thought that she would share a tent with Su Yaxian and the other sisters. But unexpectedly, she was assigned a tent by herself, near the place where the horses were resting. The sounds of horses’ whines could occasionally be heard, and because they were at a disadvantage, the smell was rather unpleasant.

Jin Lan and Si Shu were dumbfounded. They couldn’t help but look hesitantly at Mu Yunyao. “Miss, this tent....”

Mu Yunyao was just about to speak when she heard a gentle and soft shout from behind her, “Little Sister Mu, you … your tent....”

Mu Yunyao turned around and saw the worried Zhang Wan. “Greetings, Elder Sister Zhang.”

Zhang Wan looked at the indignant Jin Lan and Si Shu before stepping forward and holding Mu Yunyao’s hand. “Little Sister and I became friends at first sight, and now we finally have the chance to talk together. How about Little Sister taking a rest with me for the night?”

“In that case, thank you, Sister Zhang.”

“Where is Miss Mu going?” Meng Yanran brought her maid over with a smug look on her face, “This time, there are a lot of ladies in the hunting grounds. In order to prevent any accidents, it is prohibited to change the tents at will. So I kindly advise Miss Mu to be well behaved and stay where you are. If a person have an arrogance is a good thing, but it cannot be too outrageous. If she is ambitious, then it is inevitable that she will die for sure, and perhaps, something bad will happen to her!”

Zhang Wan opened her mouth wanted to say something but was stopped by Mu Yunyao. “I thank Miss Meng for the reminder. Elder Sister Zhang, thank you for your kind intentions. Since I can’t change my tent so easily, I’ll sleep here.”

Meng Yanran used the silk handkerchief to cover her nose and mouth. “The smell here is really stinky. Miss Zhang, you need to listen to my advice me. These things are gathered in groups, and people are divided in groups like birds of a feather flock together. If you want to make friends with good intentions, you have to see whether or not the other party is worth making friends with. If you treat others as close sisters, you can’t be regarded as a springboard to climb! When you are always with someone like that, you might even get infected by a sour stench.”

“Miss Meng, please leave as soon as you’re done. This place stinks like hell. Please don’t let the stink touch your body.” Zhang Wan pursed her lips. She had a gentle personality. To be able to say such words, she had clearly been angered.

Meng Yanran smirked and walked over to Zhang Wan, “Sister Zhang Wan, there are some people who are jealous of the treasure in your hands and insist on snatching it away from you. Don’t be so foolish to think that other people really match your temperament. In fact, they just wanted to steal something from you. For example, Cousin Qingwu.....”

Seeing that Zhang Wan looked over in surprise, Meng Yanran laughed and turned to leave.

Mu Yunyao’s gaze turned cold as she stood silently at the side.

Zhang Wan was silent for a moment before she turned her head towards Mu Yunyao. “Little Sister Mu, don’t listen to Miss Meng’s nonsense. She must have harbored hatred towards you because of what happened previously. I haven’t heard that this tent can’t be exchanged. Let’s go.”

Mu Yunyao smiled as she shook her head, “Thank you, Elder Sister Zhang. I’ll stay here, just in case Miss Meng comes again to cause trouble. It’s getting late, so Elder Sister Zhang should head back quickly.”

“This… If you change your mind, you can ask the maid to come find me.”

Mu Yunyao nodded. After Zhang Wan left, the smile on her face slightly faded.

Jin Lan took some incense and removed the smell from the tent. Then, Si Shu put the things down and started to help Mu Yunyao make up the bed.

“Miss, I wonder who was so wicked to set up a tent in a place like this. It must be to target you on purpose.”

“I’ve lived in a worse environment than this before, so there’s nothing to complain about. Rest early because we have to get up early tomorrow morning.”

The night was dark, and Jin Lan and Si Shu were sleeping soundly, but Mu Yunyao unable to sleep. Her five senses were sharper than ordinary people, and the smell was so strong that it gave her a headache. In addition, the back of her hand that had been knocked against the carriage was burning with pain. She couldn’t help but frown. She didn’t sleep for a while until dawn.

“Miss, you are not in good spirits. You must not rest well last night?” Jin Lan helped Mu Yunyao comb her hair while looking at her worriedly.

Mu Yunyao rubbed her forehead and said with a wry smile, “Sure enough. It is easy to change from frugality to luxury, and it is difficult to change from luxury to frugality. I thought I could get used to it.”

Si Shu accidentally saw the back of Mu Yunyao’s hand and instantly sucked in a breath of cold air. “Why is the wound on Miss’s hand so severe?”

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 359

~ SET OFF, HEAD TO THE HUNTING GROUND ~ 

After settling the matters in Jiyue Pavillion, Mu Yunyao headed over to the Imperial Palace to meet up with the crowd.

Although the Emperor had arranged for officials to bring their ladies to attend the Autumn Hunt, there were no compulsory requirements about it. For example, Second Madam couldn’t leave the estate, and her daughter didn’t want to attract the attention of Grand Princess Yi De, so she didn’t need to participate.

Mu Yunyao had just walked out of the residence when she saw another carriage in front of the gate.

Jin Lan whispered, “Miss, that seems to be the Eldest Miss’s carriage.” Could it be that Yuyi, who was injured to such an extent, still insisted on going to the hunting grounds?

Mu Yunyao turned around and saw the unfriendly Eldest Madam walking out, followed by Su Yaxian and the other two illegitimate daughters, who stood still in silence. With a quick thought, she realized that this must have been arranged by the Old Madam.

“Greetings, Eldest Aunt and three cousin.”

The Eldest Madam glanced at Mu Yunyao with a stiff expression. She didn’t even bother to put on an act and directly headed towards her carriage. Su Yajing and Su Yaling held their breath as they followed behind the Eldest Madam, not daring to make a sound. However, it was Su Yaxian who turned around and looked at her apologetically.

Mu Yunyao stood up with a smile at the corner of her mouth. “Let’s go.”

The Autumn Hunt this time was exceptionally grand because of Grand Princess Yi De. Originally, twenty thousand imperial guards had been prepared to escort them along the way. However, with so many female members, the Second Prince, Yu Wang, had dispatched twenty thousand guards to coordinate with them to ensure that the guests were safe.

The horse carriage stopped. Just as Mu Yunyao wanted to get off, she heard the sound of horses hissing outside, then the carriage violently shook. Fortunately, Si Shu saw that the situation wasn’t good and did her best to support her, which did not let her fall out of the carriage. However, the back of her hand knocked badly on the door and suddenly became red and swollen.

Killing intent flashed in Mu Yunyao’s eyes. This experience suddenly reminded her of her previous life, when she tumbled out from the carriage and fell in front of Yue Wang.

“What’s going on?”

Right after she said those words, the sorrowful cry of a horse could be heard. Following this, the horse carriage swayed once more, and a strong stench of blood spread.

The originally lively and relaxed atmosphere froze into silence. Everyone began to drive the carriage away, and for a time, only the carriage that Mu Yunyao was stopped in the middle.

Hearing the commotion, the imperial guards rushed to gather around, and the Second Prince, Yu Wang, came on horseback. When he saw the situation, he frowned, “What happened?”

A young man came forward and bowed towards Yu Wang, “Report back to His Royal Highness, the Meng family’s carriage accidentally collided with this carriage, to the point that the horses were startled. Seeing that they were going to collide with the noble, they had no choice but to kill the horses. Unexpectedly, I did not expect that it will alarm Your Highness. Please forgive me, His Royal Highness.”

“You are … Meng Handong?”

“Reporting to Yu Wang, it really is me.”

Yu Wang’s eyebrows were still tightly furrowed as he looked at the carriage trapped in the blood, “Who owns this carriage? What about the people in the carriage?”

Mu Yunyao’s gaze was cold as she signaled for Si Shu to lift the carriage’s curtain. The horse had already fallen to the ground, and no sound could be heard. Blood flowed everywhere, trapping the horse carriage she was riding in into a pool of blood.

Mu Yunyao walked out of the carriage and stood at the shaft of the carriage. Her gaze was calm as she looked at Yu Wang. “This humble daughter, Mu Yunyao, greets His Royal Highness Yu Wang.”

Yu Wang looked over with a hint of surprise in his eyes, “It’s you. I can see that you can’t sit on the carriage anymore. I just saw that there seems to be another lady in the Su family. Go make do with it.”

“Thank you, His Royal Highness, I will think of a way. However, I never would have thought that this Young Master would dare draw his sword and kill a horse in front of so many noble people. It is really a rare courage.” Mu Yunyao looked at Meng Handong, who was standing in the side. Earlier, Yue Wang had warned her to be careful of the Meng family. She thought that she would meet them after arriving at the hunting grounds. Unexpectedly, Meng Handong dares to trouble her in front of the palace gates.

Meng Handong glanced at Mu Yunyao, his eyes slightly narrowed, “So it’s Little Sister Yunyao. It is truly a big water rush to the Dragon King’s Temple, and the whole family doesn’t recognize each other. I didn’t expect that the person inside the carriage would be you. It’s all my fault. I was surprised when I saw the horse startled and was afraid that something would happen to the surrounding people. That’s why I killed the horse that pulled the carriage. I hope Little Sister Yunyao won’t mind. After all, no matter how precious this horse is, it can’t compare to the people around us, right?”

Mu Yunyao sneered in her heart. Meng Handong only wanted to avoid bumping into the surrounding nobles, but he didn’t care that she was still in the carriage. If they were to compare notes, wouldn’t it mean that she was inferior to the surrounding nobles?

“Young Master Meng is right. Sometimes a person can’t reason with animals.”

“It was originally....” Meng Haodong was just about to nod his head when he heard a burst of light laughter from the surroundings. Thinking carefully about Mu Yunyao’s words, he couldn’t help but have a face of anger. What does she mean by people who can’t reason with animals? Does Mu Yunyao dare to imply that he is an animal?

The corner of Yu Wang’s mouth curled up slightly, and curiosity was added within the gaze he shot at Mu Yunyao. “Miss Mu, you might get off the carriage?”

Meng Handong dared not vent his anger in front of Yu Wang, so he just stood aside with his hands folded around his chest, waiting to see the joke of Mu Yunyao.

Blood from the horses was all over the ground. If Mu Yunyao wanted to get off the car, her shoes and skirt would definitely be stained with dirt. But now that they were about to depart, there wouldn’t be time for her to change her dress, so there would be a good show.

Mu Yunyao turned her head to look at Si Shu and slightly nodded at her.

Si Shu stepped forward and placed the horse stool upright on the ground. She then supported Mu Yunyao’s waist and directly brought her down from the carriage.

Mu Yunyao’s footsteps became lighter. Borrowing the strength of Si Shu, she stepped on the horse stool and lightly landed on the clean ground as if nothing had happened.

She was wearing a light apricot-colored silk dress. Her dress looked extremely elegant. With the strength of Si Shu and her slender figure, her dress skirt swayed as she landed, which made people unable to shift their eyes away from her.

Yu Wang’s eyes flashed with amazement. When he looked at Meng Handong again, he could not help but feel that this person’s appearance was repulsive. Wasn’t this the same person who had previously taught a lesson to the arrogant and despotic Meng Yanran? He killed this girl’s horse in public and made it bloody. It’s really narrow-minded.

“Meng Handong, this is the enterace of Palace. You dare to use your weapon here and even caused such a bloody scene. If you didn’t want to go to the hunting grounds today, you shouldn’t wasted time the people around. You must have clean up the ground yourself. Now, hurry up and tidy up the scene. If it’s because of you that people delayed their time, you must be arrested and charged.”

Meng Handong was shocked. He could not maintain his wild and untamed expression and quickly clasped his hands together to plead to Yu Wang, “I was reckless. Please forgive me, His Royal Highness. I’ll clean this up now.”

“En!” Yu Wang looked towards Mu Yunyao and nodded his head. “Does Miss Mu need someone’s help?” Earlier, he didn’t think Mu Yunyao was anything special, so he couldn’t be bothered to care about how she went on her way to the hunting grounds. Now that I’ve discovered that this person suits my interests, he couldn’t help but be a bit more concerned.

“Thank you, His Royal Highness Yu Wang. I’ve already sent someone down to make arrangements.”

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 358

~ SUSPICIOUS OF THE OLD MADAM ~ 

Jin Lan was a little dumbfounded: “Miss, why did Second Madam suddenly arrange this?”

“Previously, when Eldest Aunt was in charge of the household, she had intimidated the Second Madam from the side. When Second Aunt wanted to live a bit more comfortably, she had to be liked by the Old Madam and not be feared by Eldest Aunt. Thus, she had a straightforward disposition and was not to be feared. But now, the authority to manage household falls on Second Aunt, plus on top of that, knowing that someone is secretly attacking Elder Sister Su You. Do you think she will not make any changes?”

“From the looks of it, it seems like the Second Madam is suspecting that it was the Eldest Madam who secretly dealt Fifth Miss?”

Mu Yunyao shook her head. The confusion in her heart accumulated and slowly twisted into a mystery. “I’m not too sure either. But as a girl, Elder Sister Su You isn’t too eye-catching, and her body is too weak, so what’s the use of dealing with her?”

“That’s right. Your servant is also very curious.”

“Let’s take a look later. I wonder how many things Second Aunt can find out.” In the end, the Second Madam had lived in the Su family for more than twenty years. Thus, she had a much better understanding of the Su family than she did. Her connections and roots were also deeper than hers, so it should be easier to investigate.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the Western Courtyard, Mu Yunyao carefully helped Su You check her pulse, nodding slightly: “I’ve pretty much cleared away most of the poison. But there’s still a portion left over, and I’ll slowly remove it later. Elder Sister Su You’s foundation is too poor. If I clear out the poison in one go, her body might not be able to take it.”

In the past two days, Su You had been extremely tortured and already extremely weak. Mu Yunyao used medicated baths to help her remove the poison, combined with acupuncture and massage, took some laxative and divergent medicinal materials. Su You thought she would not be able to hold on and die directly.

Mu Yunyao put away the silver needles and looked at Su You with a smile, “How does Eldest Sister Su You feel?”

“I....” Su You slowly sat up. Although she still felt quite weak, it was as if a heavy burden was lifted from her body. Her entire body was light and airy, and even her breathing was a lot smoother than before. “I feel surprisingly good. It’s never been better.”

The Second Madam, who was anxiously waiting at the side, couldn’t help but cry, “That’s great. That’s really great. Yunyao, I don’t know how to thank you.”

“The next recuperation is the key. Elder Sister Su You’s body has been heavily attacked by the poison. If anything goes wrong, I’m afraid that she’ll really be in danger.”

“Alright, I’ll definitely pay attention to these dirty tricks and not let them get in front of You’er again.”

“Elder Sister Su You, you must has a good rest. I’ll go and prepare some prescription for you first.” Mu Yunyao held Su You and helped her pull back the quilt. Only then did she follow the Second Madam outside.

When the maid brought the tea up, Mu Yunyao lightly took a sip.

The Second Madam waved her hand, telling all the maids to step back, then she said, “Yunyao, I’ve been investigating for the past few days, and faintly feel that the person secretly attacking Su You seems to be... ....”

Mu Yunyao raised her head and saw Second Madam looking in the direction of Ning He Garden where the Old Madam was. “This is really too inconceivable, Second Aunt. Did you not investigate wrongly?”

The Second Madam smiled wryly, “I also hope that my own investigation was wrong. After all, she dotes on Su You and even sent a portion of precious herbs to the Western Courtyard first. Who would have thought....”

Mu Yunyao lowered her head, her fingers gently pinching the edge of the teacup. “Knowing people, knowing a person’s appearance, but not knowing his heart. I guess that’s probably about the Old Madam looked like. Her face is kind, and she’s muttering buddhist chants. It can’t be more kind, but in reality....”

“Heart like a snake and a scorpion!” The Second Madam slowly spit out these words, and the look in her eyes is particularly gloomy. “There are a lot of things that I didn’t understand in the past, but now, I think I’m just extremely shocked. Back then, my mother personally asked someone to marry me in the Qi family. At that time, my mother strongly opposed it, but I fell in love with your second uncle and married him happily, regardless of the opposition of my family....”

Mu Yunyao raised her gaze. She was slightly felt surprised in her heart as she didn’t expect such a thing to happen. The Second Madam’s lips carried a bitter smile and continued, “At that time, the Su family was not completely given priority. The Old Madam was extremely good to me, and it could even be said that she was very partial to me. However, my own belly was not very good. First, I did not get pregnant in a few years. Then I became pregnant, but the child could never be kept. I was happily found out that I was pregnant, but after a few months, I had inexplicable miscarriage. This happened several times in a row. I knelt in the buddhist hall all night long to confess whether I had done something wrong. Fortunately, there was Su You later on, which allowed me to feel alive....”

“Second Aunt” Mu Yunyao passed the silk handkerchief over and looked worriedly at the Second Madam.

“I’m fine. I wasn’t able to think of the crux of the matter before and only felt that my life was miserable. But now, it’s inevitable that there is someone deliberately harming me from behindt. I don’t know why the Old Madam did this, but no one else in this house has such great ability except her!”

Mu Yunyao nodded, “Indeed.”

The Second Madam wiped her tears. “Thinking that of all these years I’ve been trying to please a venomous snake, I feel terrible, and it was cold like fall into the ice cellar. When I was pregnant with Su You, it wasn’t easy. After that, I went through a lot of labor and risked my life to give birth to her. I also lost the possibility of being pregnant again. Over the years, I’ve been trying my best to help Su You recuperate, but I didn’t know that there was a problem with the medicine she drank.... ”

Muyunyao didn’t know how to persuade her, and this matter was too cruel for the Second Madam.

“Yunyao, it seems that there is a knife stirring in my heart all the time in these past two days. When Su you was a child, her health was not so bad. She didn’t like to drink medicine and always lost her temper, so I always advised her and coaxed her to drink it one by one. As long as I thought that, over the years, what I fed her was not life-saving tonic, but it was a deadly poison...I wish I could kill myself!”

The Second Madam hated herself and hated the Old Madam even more!

If the Old Madam did not like her, it would be fine no matter how hard she tried. However, she should not have touched Su You, and she is her own granddaughter. How could she not have a little bit of compassion in her heart?

“Second Aunt, there’s still time. It’s not too late because the situation hasn’t reached its worst state yet.”

The Second Madam took a deep breath and raised her head slightly to prevent her tears from flowing too fiercely. “That’s right. Fortunately, I met you. Everything was in time. Yunyao, I swear to you from the bottom of my heart, I won’t beg you to treat Su You properly. I just want you to give it your all, and as long as you do your best, I will never forget it. From now on, I’ll do whatever you want me to do!”

Mu Yunyao shook her head and stretched out her hand to hold Second Madam’s hand, “Second Aunt’s love for her daughter is truly touching. I can assure you that I will do my best to ensure Elder Sister Su You’s safety.”

The Second Madam nodded: “Well, you must be careful. In the Su family, the Old Madam has a lot of ability. I don’t know when she will know that you helped Su You to recuperate her body. Previously, I could vaguely tell that she wasn’t happy with you. If she secretly takes action against you or Sister Su Qing, it would be too easy for her to get rid of you, and it’s really troublesome to guard against.”

“Thank you for the reminder, Second Aunt. I will be more careful.”

When Mu Yunyao returned to Jiyue Pavilion, she had received the eighty thousand silver banknotes that the Eldest Madame had collected. She carefully examined the stack of banknotes, and when she thought about the two dowries of the Eldest Madam had given her, she felt comfortable in her heart. “Get someone to send the banknotes over to Qi Ming, tell him that he will moved in the next day or two, and let him be prepared.”

“Yes, Miss.”

~ YUE WANG’S CLASSIFICATION STANDARD ~ 

Looking at his appearance, Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but snort in her heart: “Then Fourth Master will take good care of himself. Before he recuperates, you can’t casually go near other girls, or else it’ll be bad if you get beaten up like a retainer.”

Yue Wang’s eyes suddenly flashed with light, and her voice became slightly deeper, slowly flowing into his ears, as though it contained a deep emotion and love: “I’ve only been close to you.”

Mu Yunyao was initially just joking around, but after hearing Yue Wang’s words, her face couldn’t help but flush red: “Fourth Master sure can talk a lot now. When I thought back to the past, you always treated your words like gold!”

“ It’s a matter of classifying people...”

Mu Yunyao raised her eyes and looked straight at Yue Wang, forcefully suppressing the uneasiness in her heart. With a smile, she said, “In Fourth Master’s heart, how is this people classified?”

Previously, Mu Yunyao had felt slightly embarrassed and annoyed, but the expression around Yue Wang had become even more indifferent. But now, Mu Yunyao had suddenly become even more opened up, causing him to feel a little nervous.

Yue Wang looked deeply at Mu Yunyao and slowly spoke: “You, a special person....”

At first, Mu Yunyao didn’t understand what he meant. But after she thought of these words, she suddenly froze on the spot. You, a special person… Could it be that in the heart of Yue Wang, other than her, he always treated others with the words like gold?

The room immediately quieted down, but other emotions started to circulate in the room slowly.

Mu Yunyao pursed her lips slightly. Her lips moved, revealing a little of her snow-white teeth, causing Yue Wang’s gaze to dim slightly.

After a long while, Mu Yunyao took the initiative to change the topic: “Do you have any idea what you can do to help Qi Ming, Fourth Master?”

Knowing that she still had not let down her guard yet, Yue Wang was not anxious. He cooperates with her and turns the conversation away: “There are a few people on Yu Wang’s side who are my hidden spies. I am planning to take them back to help me take care of Bu Xian Luo, and it just so happens that I can use them this time.”

“Hidden spies?” Mu Yunyao was slightly surprised, “I thought that Fourth Master really lived in Western Guangdong and didn’t inquire about matters in the Capital.”

“As a descendant of the Imperial Family, fights for the thorne are unavoidable since we are born. Although I don’t want my brothers to kill each other, I still have to have methods to protect myself. Moreover, there are some old matters that need to be investigated thoroughly, so I must let my power grow stronger.”

Mu Yunyao’s eyes slightly moved as her understanding of Yue Wang deepened. “Fourth Master’s words are reasonable. I wonder, does Fourth Master have any connections in the Imperial Court?”

“Yes, do you need me to write it down for you to see?” Yue Wang nodded his head happily.

“Is Fourth Master not afraid that I am a spy sent by someone else and deliberately come here to trick you?”

“No, I believe you!” Yue Wang smiled as he replied, looking at Mu Yunyao with unwavering determination. This was the first time he liked and cared so much about a person. Furthermore, Mu Yunyao’s heart was heavy, so he could only groping towards the other side’s approaches. He knew that Yunyao was suspicious, so he completely cut himself open and presented himself in front of her, making everything that she wanted to know could be seen at a glance. This way, she wouldn’t have to suspect anything secretly.

Mu Yunyao opened her mouth and slightly shifted her gaze away, not looking at Yue Wang. “Fourth Master, please arrange it yourself. I’ll have arranged for Qi Ming to be at His Royal Highness Ling’s side. In order to make him trust Qi Ming, I have to give him more silver tael. The silver taels will be used by His Royal Highness Ling to develop his connections. Fourth can arrange for his own people and earn more silverfrom me.”

Yue Wang could not help but chuckle. In his deep eyes, he seemed to see the stars moving slowly. “Alright, I will make sure that the fertile water does not flow to the foreign lands. I will make arrangements for it.”

Hearing his laughter, Mu Yunyao felt an itch in her ear, and a look of embarrassment flashed past her eyes. “It’s getting late. I want to return to the residence early so that my mother won’t worry.”

“Wait a minute.“Yue Wang said as he picked up his coat at the side, and just as Mu Yunyao was about to reach out to grab it, he dodged her finger and personally put the coat on her shoulders.” During Autumn Hunt, be careful of the Meng family. Grand Preceptor Meng’s mind is deep. His sons, however, weren’t outstanding, and so were his grandchildren, who are born liked to fight to the bitter end. They acted without restraint under protection of Grand Preceptor Meng and Princess Qingning, so I’m afraid that they’ll make trouble for you on the hunting ground.”

Mu Yunyao extended her hand to grab the belt of her cloak, wanting to take two steps back. However, she felt that she was acting cowardly by doing this, so she forced herself to stand still. She raised her head and smiled faintly at Yue Wang, “Thank you for your reminder, Fourth Master. I should leave now....”

“Wait, there is also the matter of Shen Binghuai. I have arranged for him to investigate Xun Wu, and very soon, there will be news of the Eldest Madam bribing those hoodlums in an attempt to find trouble with you. However, those hoodlums are dead, and the evidence is insufficient. At most, I can only do is to make some use of it, but it’s not enough to convict the Eldest Madam directly. Princess Qingning has always been protective of her family, so she will definitely get people to mediate things for her. The Eldest Madam has a great chance of being safe, so you must be prepared.”

“Alright.”

“Also, before this, I had wanted to transfer Steward Qin to the Capital, but he was in charge of Bu Xian Luo in Jiangnan. It would cause a lot of inconveniences if I transferred him here. Thus, I would let Eunuch Cheng come to the Capital. He is also an old man who has been taking care of me for many years. Although he is old now, he is still a bit out of temper. If you meet him in the future, don’t be scared by him.”

Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but smile, “Am I such a timid person?”

Yue Wang couldn’t help but raise his finger and lightly move towards the red mark on her forehead. “No matter what happens, don’t try to be brave....”

A clear and cold aura surrounded them as if it was everywhere. Mu Yunyao’s heart skipped a beat because of the slight tremble of her nervous eyelashes. The spot between her eyebrows that had been touched by Yue Wang’s finger just now became slightly hot. “Fourth Master?”

Just as the tip of his finger touched her forehead, Yue Wang withdrew his finger and placed his hands behind his back. “It’s my fault. Let’s go back quickly. It’s getting late.”

Mu Yunyao heaved a sigh of relief and quickly walked out of the door. Only then did the breath she had been holding up slightly loosen up.

Jin Lan, Jin Qiao, and the others hurriedly came over. “Miss, would you like to take a walk?”

“No need, let’s go back to the residence.”

After getting on the carriage, Jin Qiao looked nervously at Mu Yunyao. “Miss, why is the space between your eyebrows red. Did you accidentally hit it?”

Mu Yunyao stretched out her hand to touch it as if she could still feel the numbness from his slightly cold fingertip touching. “I accidentally hit it, but it’s fine.”

As soon as she returned to the residence, she saw a servant carrying something towards the East Courtyard. After seeing Mu Yunyao, the servants hurriedly pay their respects.

“What are these things for?”

“Reporting to Miss Biao, the Second Madam asked this servant to carried these things to the Eldest Miss.”

Mu Yunyao looked at one of the small screens and lightly retracted her gaze. “Since that’s the case, then quickly send it over to Elder Sister Yuyi.”

“Yes.”

When they returned to Jiyue Pavilion, Jin Lan helped Mu Yunyao change her clothes as she softly asked, “Miss, I saw that you were sizing up the screen that the servants were holding. Is there a problem with it?”

“The problem is not too big. The small screen should have been placed beside the table by the window. The the screen base looks like acid wood, but in reality, it has been refined with medicine, and the drug’s potency isn’t that strong. However, it will easily spread out when exposed to the sun. It doesn’t have much harm,but it is easy to make people impatient.”
