~ THE BRAZEN HOUSE I’VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE ~
The Second Madam came over to tell Su You that the doctor had come to check her pulse and asked her to hurry over.
Su You pulled Mu Yunyao’s hand and seemed to be reluctant to part with her: “Remember to come and see me. Otherwise … I’ll go to your place to find you.”
Mu Yunyao smiled and nodded, “Alright, I’ll wait for you to come to play with me.”
When Su You left, the Second Madam looked at Mu Yunyao, her heart full of unease. “Yunyao, did Grand Princess Yi De really know about this?”
“Mm, she know it.”
“Then the Su family… The Su family …” Everyone in the Capital knew of the feelings Grand Princess Yi De had for her daughter. Now that she had acknowledged Su Qing and found out that she was being hidden by the Su family, how could she let off them?
“You do not need to worry, Second Madam. The Grand Princess is not a person who does not understand what is right and wrong.”
With great difficulty, Second Madam managed to calm down. Clenching her fingers, she nodded her head, “Yes, Her Royal Highness the Grand Princess understands right and wrong. She has a broad mind and definitely won’t hold grudges against those of us who don’t know anything … Yunyao, I hope you can say something nice in front of the Grand Princess....”
“Madam, please be at ease.”
Noticing the Second Madam’s excessively restrained expression, Mu Yunyao didn’t stay any longer and left after saying a few words of blessings.
In Ning He Garden, Su Wenyuan, who was so angry that his whole body was burned, sat alone for a long time. Suddenly, he got up and went to the East Courtyard and called Su Qingwu to come over.
“Father.” Just as Su Qingwu was about to go out to the Jin Palace to pay his respects, he heard Su Wenyuan’s call for him and immediately turned back.
“Qingwu, Mu Yunyao came over today. She said that Grand Princess Yi De already knows about Su Qing’s identity.”
Su Qingwu’s heart trembled, and his forehead twitched. “Without evidence, how could Grand Princess Yi De believe it?”
“I’m not sure, but seeing Mu Yunyao’s expression, it doesn’t seem like she’s lying, so we have to quickly think of a plan. Otherwise, the Su family will really be finished.”
Su Qingwu quickly thought about it, and various emotions were complicated in her mind. After a while, he suddenly raised his head: “Father, the reason why Grandfather and Grandmother hid Su Qing was that they wanted to claim the credit from the Grand Princess. Now, we might as well proceed with the previous plan.”
“How can the previous plan work? Although Mu Yunyao doesn’t know the truth now, based on our Su family’s actions before, she would definitely have detected the killing intent within it and definitely not believe our words.”
“It doesn’t matter if she believes it or not. What matters is that this method can save the Su family. Now that Grand Princess Yi De regards us as enemies who have hidden her daughter, w but what if our Su family transforms into a benefactor who saved her daughter?”
“If this method is feasible, it would naturally be the best. However, it is not easy to deceive the Emperor and Grand Princess Yi De. Have you figured out what to do? A careless operation may be self-defeating.”
“Grandmother also lost her daughter. However, Grandmother’s daughter was stolen by an unscrupulous servant. In order to retaliate against Grandmother for beating her, the subordinate sold the daughter of the Su family to someone else. During the trip, the daughter of the Su family met the daughter of the Grand Princess. At the same time, the two of them were bought and adopted by the people in the country. The daughter of the Su family died to save the daughter of the Grand Princess who fell into the water. After the death of the daughter of the Su family, the keepsake of the Su family was in the hands of Su Qing, the daughter of the Grand Princess Yi De. Without knowing anything, our Su family welcomed her back to the Su family.”
“This… It’s not a bad idea, but would the Grand Princess and Su Qing believe it?”
“When she lost, she was still very young and could no longer remember what happened back then. Now, it’s us who say whatever we want, so all we need to do is take out a bit of evidence.”
“The evidence regarding Su Qing’s real identity was destroyed long ago. The only thing we can use now is in your grandmother’s hands. But I can go and fetch it.”
“That’s good. Can Su Li and Wang family, who adopted Su Qing, be trusted?” Su Qingwu had made up his mind.
“It’s absolutely trustworthy. Otherwise, your grandmother wouldn’t be so worried about them raising Su Qing. However, if this matter were to spread out....” Su Wenyuan spoke, but he suddenly stopped and said, “I forgot, spreading the news would only lead to more crimes. Our Su family has already been hated by Grand Princess Yi De. So there wouldn’t be any difference between one or two crimes. “Qingwu, do what do you need to do. Go ahead and send your subordinates out. Right now, Father can only discuss the affairs of the family with you.”
“Yes, Father.”
After leaving the East Courtyard, Su Qingwu’s eyes were calm, suppressing the unwillingness to submit in his heart. He and Mu Yunyao had already walked further and further away from each other. No matter how deep the imprint had been, they had already become enemies at this time. He expected to protect the Su family, and she wanted to fight for the truth. The two could not coexist at all, so no matter how uncomfortable he felt in his heart, he must be firm in his choice.
After leaving the Su family, Mu Yunyao’s heart was at ease. As long as she thought of leaving the Su family’s residence, she felt even happier than when she had earned several hundred thousand taels of silver. When she went to Cao Yunnian’s residence, her face kept smiling.
Lady Jin stepped forward to help Mu Yunyao up, and the red envelope that she handed over was rather heavy. “Yao’er, you’ve finally survived this ordeal.” After receiving the attention of Grand Princess Yi De, the Su family no longer dared to carelessly put themselves in a difficult position, and they were able to live a peaceful life.
Mu Yunyao smiled, “How is my adoptive mother now? “As for the Jin family....”
“The more peaceful and tranquil you are, the better your way of thinking is.” The Jin family is now declining. When her father found out that Mu Yunyao had been chosen by Grand Princess Yi De, his words were far less forceful than before. He even came to the residence less often, making her feel more relaxed than she had ever been before. “Yao’er, last night’s Palace Banquet, your cousin Su...”
Many people could see through Su Yuyi’s thoughts. Now that Yunyao has a bright future, she definitely could not let Yuyi implicate her.
“Mother, don’t worry. The Su family’s matter will be resolved soon.” After Mu Yunyao finished speaking, she felt her clothes lightly tugged. She turned her head to look and couldn’t help but laugh.
In order to make it easier for Lady Jin to look after the children, the two of them sat by the bed while Cao Zhiwen played on the bed. He was now at the age where he could crawl and climb. He had endless energy and couldn’t get tired no matter what. Perhaps it was the vine on Mu Yunyao’s sleeve that attracted him, causing him to stretch out his fat little paws and keep pulling.
“This bad boy.” Lady Jin quickly picked up the child. “Yao’er, you don’t know about this bad boy. This bad boy has been restless all day. Although he is only a bit old, he’s still very mischievous. The two mamas who are taking care of him can’t bear it.”
“That’s what children should be like this.”
Being held by Lady Jin, Cao Zhiwen was not at all quiet. He insisted on looking for Mu Yunyao.
Mu Yunyao stretched out her hand to take him over. The child was soft and heavy in her embrace. She grinned, and her voice was young and tender, causing one’s heart to soften along with it.
Lady Jin initially thought that Mu Yunyao couldn’t hold a child, but seeing how skilled her posture was, she couldn’t help but tease, “Yao’er, you really know what you doing? I don’t know who has the luck to marry you in the future. However, our Yao’er must be a good wife and mother.”
Mu Yunyao was startled for a moment, then she slowly smiled. She didn’t have any fate with her child in her previous life, only remembered the heart-wrenching pain of losing him. She and Yue Wang would probably not even have a result in this life, let alone have a child. However, she was willing to accept this result, and she didn’t know if it was considered a creation.
