Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 409

~ LOVELORN AT THE BEGINNING OF LOVE? ~ 

“Shua!” Even before the sound of the sword being drawn heard, screams and the stench of blood filled the air. Those guards with bows and arrows did not even have time to react before they were killed by Yue Wang’s men!

The thick smell of blood filled the courtyard. Su Wenyuan, who was filled with fear and trepidation, almost fainted on the spot. Yue Wang, Yue Wang, how dare he do as he pleases in the Capital?

Yue Wang ignored Su Wenyuan and walked towards Mu Yunyao.

Mu Yunyao raised her head and focused on Yue Wang. The black cape on his body fluttered, and a field of bright red bloodstains could be seen on his back. The red and black contrasts were clear and distinct. His cold figure was like a sharp sword, and the intense sword light could almost burn a person’s eyes.

“Yunyao, I’m here.”

Mu Yunyao slowly blinked her eyes. Yue Wang in front of her became even more definite, and her surroundings seemed to gradually fade away. Only the figure in front of her was exceptionally vivid.

In her previous life, she yearned for someone to love and protect her. So in this life, she decided to walk on her own, but in reality, she was held in the palm of someone’s hand. She initially thought this would be compensation from the heavens, but unexpectedly, it was a trial that made people’s hearts suffer…

If it was confirmed that her mother was the child of the Grand Princess Yi De, then she would have to address Yue Wang as her uncle, and it would definitely be impossible between them …

Thinking of this result, Mu Yunyao felt as if her heart had been cut by a blade, and blood kept flowing out as if it wanted to drain all the strength in her body.

Seeing Mu Yunyao’s pale face, Yue Wang thought that she wouldn’t be able to endure such a bloody scene. He stood in front of her and blocked her view, “Let’s leave the residence first.”

Mu Yunyao came back to her senses and turned around to support Su Qing. “Mother, let’s go.”

“Yes.” Su Qing was so frightened by the scene that her legs went limp. She and Mu Yunyao helped each other as they walked around the blood on the ground towards the residence’s entrance.

When Su Wenyuan saw Mu Yunyao and Su Qing walking out, he was still a little unwilling to give up. Just as he was about to open his mouth to say something, he saw Yue Wang turning his head around fiercely. His cold face was cold and murderous, as though he would kill him on the spot if he dared to open his mouth!

Su Wenyuan fell to the ground with a thump. He could only feel the darkness in front of him.

Many servants were taken away from the residence, and the guards were knocked down to the ground. As a result, the journey was quiet all the way.

Before she left, Mu Yunyao turned her head to look at the big Su family’s residence. When she had come, it had been a bustling and prosperous scene. But when she left, it had turned into a mess. This change finally calmed the hatred accumulated in her heart.

“Yao’er...” Su Qing looked at Mu Yunyao anxiously and whispered to her to get in the carriage quickly.

Mu Yunyao turned her head, raised her feet, stepped out of the threshold, and finally walked out of the Su family. “Mother.”

“En,” Su Qing pulled her into the carriage before pulling her into her arms in a frightened manner. “Mother was so scared just now. If we couldn’t get out, we would have been killed by your uncle’s orders.”

“No, I will protect Mother.”

Cai Yi had been waiting at the entrance of Ni Yun Fang for a long time. When she saw the carriage slowly pass by, a smile finally appeared on her worried face. “Madam, Miss, you finally came.”

Many citizens had come to watch the excitement around. They had long heard of the Su family’s movements. They had also heard that Mu Yunyao wanted to move out of the Su family’s residence and temporarily stayed in Ni Yun Fang. As a result, they gathered here, and when they saw Mu Yunyao and Su Qing get off the carriage, some people couldn’t help but shout out loud.

“Miss Mu, we believe in you.”

“Yes, please cheer up, Miss. Many women are still waiting to learn embroidery.”

Mu Yunyao was stunned for a moment. She turned around and looked at the surrounding commoners. Then, she kneeled down and bowed to them, “Yunyao thanks everyone. After we’ve settled in,we’ll start teaching the embroidery needle technique. Thank you for your love.”

“Alright!”

Mu Yunyao forced out a smile and didn’t tarry any longer as she accompanied Su Qing into Ni Yun Fang.

Yue Wang ordered his guards to wait outside, and when he followed Mu Yunyao into the hall, he accepted Su Qing’s gaze somewhat nervously.

Cai Yi and the others had already left, so the hall was completely silent.

Su Qing looked at Mu Yunyao, then looked at Yue Wang and spoke hesitantly, “Young Master Ning … No, I should call you Your Royal Highness Yue Wang now. I am extremely grateful that you have saved us today.”

“Madam, you’re too polite. This is something I should do.” Yue Wang looked at Mu Yunyao. Although there was a smile in her eyes, it was not pure in the slightest. It was as if her eyes were covered by a thin layer of a hazy veil, bringing along an indescribable feeling of melancholy. What’s on her mind?

Su Qing felt awkward. After a moment of silence, she stood up and said, “Too many things have happened today. I’m a little tired, so I want to go upstairs to rest. Yunyao, you …. greet His Royal Highness Yue Wang.”

Mu Yunyao knew that Su Qing was puzzled, but it was not the time for her to explain. She could only nod her head and say, “Then Mother will go take a rest first. If there’s anything you need to say, we can talk about it after you’ve rested.”

Su Qing nodded and turned around to go to the third floor to have a rest.

When Su Qing left, and Yue Wang quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Madam Su had always been a gentle and soft person, but she was Yunyao’s mother. Just thinking about it like this made his heart tremble. He was afraid that there would be something impolite to do, which would make the other party unhappy.

“Yunyao, what happened today is already report in front of Imperial Father. I’m going to go to the Palace and beg for forgiveness now. In these few days, you should stay in Ni Yun Fang peacefully and spread embroidery needle technique. Don’t worry for the time being. Wait until all the dust is settled.”

Mu Yunyao nodded in agreement. “Okay.”

Yue Wang frowned and walked to Mu Yunyao.

He reached out his hand to touch her forehead, but unexpectedly, Mu Yunyao tilted her head to the side and dodged. His fingertips brushed past her ear with an indescribable coldness, “Yunyao, what’s wrong with you?”

Mu Yunyao raised her eyes as the corner of her mouth lifted into a smile, “Your Royal Highness Yue Wang, I might break my promise with you.”

Yue Wang’s gaze focused as he recalled the one-year agreement he had with Yunyao. He extended his hand to hold Mu Yunyao’s shoulders. “You’re joking, right?”

“Your Royal Highness should know that I will not joke about such matters.” Mu Yunyao tried her best to maintain a smile, but her heart was filled with bitterness.

Yue Wang did his best to restrain his strength, to not let his hand movements hurt Mu Yunyao. After speaking, he spoke with difficulty, “Why?”

When they were on the hunting grounds, they had confirmed each other’s intentions, and they had clearly agreed on one thing. After a year, if they didn’t change their hearts, they would wholeheartedly fall in love with each other, so why did Mu Yunyao suddenly change her mind?

“Because I discovered a secret.” Mu Yunyao had thought of concealing this matter, but when she looked into Yue Wang’s eyes, she realized that she couldn’t do it.

He was like a cold blade, sharp to the point that it was unparalleled. He could be unstoppable, but he was willing to draw in the cold light and the sharpness for her sake. He looked at her with a focused and passionate gaze as if he had entrusted his soul to her. Facing such a pure person, she was unwilling to allow him to fall in love with her. While he still has the chance to leave, let him get away as soon as possible.

“What kind of secret made you make such a decision?”

“My mother is not the daughter of the Su family’s Old Madam!”

“What’s wrong with that? Isn’t it better if it has nothing to do with the Su family? It doesn’t have any impact on the two of us...” Yue Wang’s breath was in chaos as he tried his best to persuade Mu Yunyao.

Mu Yunyao’s lips lightly trembled, and she couldn’t help but interrupt him, “She might be the lost daughter of Grand Princess Yi De!”

Yue Wang raised his head abruptly as though something suddenly had shattered in his eyes.

  2. You know it's funny. If Su Qing was Yue Wang's maternal cousin, no one would raise an eye about the MC and ML's relationship. It's only paternal cousins that make the Ancient Chinese have issues.
