Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 467

 ~ COMING OF AGE CEREMONY ~ 

Zhang Wan looked at the camellia pots on the ground and couldn’t help but smile, “Second Aunt, please help me thank Miss Mu. It’s not convenient today, so I’ll come to Second Aunt’s courtyard to thank you alone another day. Little Sister Su You, how is her health?”

Noticing Zhang Wan’s gentle attitude, Second Madam could not help but smile even more, “It’s all good. We will be family from now on, so there is no need to be too polite. If you lack anything here, you must get someone to tell me in time. Although I can help you, I will definitely reach out when it’s time.”

Zhang Wan was stunned for a moment before she smiled. “Alright, thank you, Second Aunt.”

“I’ll get someone to cook a bowl of noodles and bring it to you. You’ll have a good rest tonight, and you’ll have to pay our respects to the Elders tomorrow morning.”

“Alright.”

Leaving Zhang Wan’s courtyard, the Second Madam smiled, thinking that the residence was getting more lively.

In the following days, the news of the Su family would occasionally spread.

Jin Qiao vividly reported to Mu Yunyao: “At the beginning, the Sixth Princess marrying into the Su family is still considered stable. After that, Su Qingwu made a trip to Madam Zhang’s courtyard, and the Sixth Princess started to stir things up. After that, she even found an excuse to look for Madam Zhang for trouble. I heard that she accidentally bumped Madam Zhang into the pond. On the second day, Madam Zhang directly ordered someone to fill the pond...”

After Mu Yunyao finished washing her face, she took the handkerchief and wiped the water droplets off her fingers. “Falling into the pond in the winter is extremely dangerous. Is Zhang Wan alright?”

“It’s okay. The Second Madam acted in time, and not long after she fell down, she was rescued. She was then taken care of by a doctor, so there weren’t any major problems. But after going through this matter, the Sixth Princess was extremely dissatisfied with the Second Madam, as if she wanted to seize her authority as the person who charges in household’s affair.”

“The authority of the person who is charge in household’s affair is not to be trifled with. Su Wenyuan will not be the first to agree.” If he were to hand the Su family over to the Sixth Princess, who didn’t have any experience, wouldn’t Su Wenyuan have trouble sleeping all night? In addition, Su Jin was still here. If Yang Lian really had something to do with the salt tax, it is almost time for the Su family to take action at this time.

Entering February, the weather gradually became warmer. After being taught by Mu Yunyao several times, Su Qing slowly felt better, and her body recovered a lot.

Jin Lan and Jin Qiao were painting paper kites in the courtyard, but unfortunately, the two of them couldn’t paint properly, so they could only ask Mu Yunyao for help, “Miss, come help the two of us quickly. We can’t lose to Elder Sister Si Qin and the rest.”

Mu Yunyao changed into lighter spring clothes. At this moment, she was in a good mood as she grabbed her sleeves to help Jin Lan paint the patterns on the paper kite.

Seeing this scene, Si Qin was upset again and again: “Miss, how can you help Jin Lan and Jin Qiao? If they win, this servant will have no monthly silver.”

Mu Yunyao looked down at the complacent Jin Lan and Jin Qiao. “When you win the monthly money, don’t forget to split half with me.”

“Yes, Miss. We will share most of it with you.”

Su Qing watched this scene with a smile, and the depression in his heart gradually loosened a lot.

Although the courtyard wasn’t too big, it was enough to let the paper kite fly.

Mu Yunyao raised her head to look at her depiction of the eagle flying into the sky and couldn’t help but raise the corner of her lips. “Mother, the person that Grandmother had sent to verify our identity has returned. In a few days, she will recognize us as her family members at my coming of age ceremony.”

Su Qing nodded. “Yao’er, can you promise me one thing?”

“Mother, please speak your mind. As long as it is within my capabilities, I will definitely agree to your request.”

“Mother hopes that you can carefully ponder over the relationship between you and Yue Wang. A friendship is hard to come by, and one shouldn’t give up easily because of a bond.”

Mu Yunyao fell silent for a long while before speaking again, “Mother, I am clearly related to Yue Wang by blood, so why didn’t you stop us from being together, but instead persuade me to be more open?”

“Yao’er, this world is not fair to women. It is not easy for you to obtain a sincere relationship. Compared to the ethical relationship, Mother cares more about whether you live a happy life or not, and she cares even more about whether your husband can treat you wholeheartedly. To a man, getting married and having children was something happy about. But to a woman, every step was a hurdle. After the marriage, you will be bound with this man for the rest of your life. You will be together with him, sharing both honor and disgrace. You will have children, and giving birth is half-stepping into the gate of hell. Women could die because of childbirth. The situation of your adoptive mother during childbirth is the best example. If you can’t marry someone who loves you, what support do you rely on to spend this long life?”

Mu Yunyao’s gaze wavered violently. She felt as if something had poked her heart. “Mother, it’s still too early to say all this now. Let’s talk about it slowly.”

“Sigh, that’s fine. Has Mother been getting more and more long-winded recently?”

“How could that be? Mother is doing great!”

Su Qing couldn’t hold back her laughter. “You.”

The invitation for Mu Yunyao’s coming of age ceremony had already been sent out, and the location was set to be in Grand Princess Yi De’s private garden — Qin Fang Garden. It could be said that the date had been selected by the Venerate Heavens Sect after repeated calculation, and everything is appropriate.

Ever since the New Year, Ni Yun Fang stopped taking an order on the clothes business and wholeheartedly helped Mu Yunyao and Su Qing prepare the clothes they would be wearing on the day of the coming of age ceremony.

Everyone in the Capital already knew that this time’s ceremony not only signified Mu Yunyao’s coming of age but also the day when Grand Princess Yi De would recognize her daughter.

Everything involving Grand Princess Yide is enough to make people pay attention to it. Now that the Grand Princess had found her daughter, whom she had searched for more than thirty years, the various officials and aristocratic families began to attach great importance to it.

Qin Fang Garden has been renovated, and the whole garden has attracted hot spring water from the mountains. Despite the cold weather of the spring in the past few days, there were still countless flowers blooming in the garden. It could even be seen that the colorful butterflies were flying and dancing among the flowers. In Shang Pavilion, where the hot springs converge to form a small pool, a dense mist rose into the air as they strolled along the nine winding corridors. It was as though they had stepped into a fairyland, causing people’s hearts to be captivated.

The sixth day of February is a good day for everything. Mu Yunyao and Su Qing were resting in Qin Fang Garden one day in advance. That day, they had gotten up early and changed into a set of white clothes after taking a bath.

Su Qing helped Mu Yunyao comb her hair and watched as her hair flowed down her back like a silk waterfall behind her. With eyes filled with love, she said, “Yao’er, the last ceremony was completely messed up, but it will definitely go smoothly this time. After the ceremony, you will be an adult.”

Mu Yunyao turned around. “Mother, no matter how old I am, I’ll always be a child in front of you, and I’ll always need your love.”

Su Qing reached out to stroke her hair and combed it neatly with a rhinoceros’s horn comb. She simply pulled up her hair into a bun and said, “You’ll have to add hairpin later, so I just need to comb it simply.”

Mu Yunyao nodded. “Grandmother wants to host my coming of age ceremony personally. Today, I’ll have to trouble her to meet me.”

“Your grandmother was happy, and even if it was hard, she would be willing.”

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 466

~ CLEAN UP BU XIAN LUO ~

Yue Wang threw the letter into a charcoal pot and burned it. He then quickly flipped through the messages sent over by Bu Xian Luo before. After rummaging for a long time, he came up empty-handed. “The news was collected by Sicha in Bu Xian Luo, but why didn’t it come?”

Mu Yunyao also felt that was a problem, so she couldn’t help but tighten the space between her brows. “The information in Bu Xian Luo is complicated, so it’s unavoidable that there will be a delay. If …”

Mu Yunyao did not finish her sentence, but Yue Wang had already understood her meaning. It was expected for news to be delayed for a while, but if there was no way it was delivered at all, then something must have gone wrong.

Yue Wang’s eyes darkened. “When we were built this Bu Xian Luo, we only wanted to spread out the scene as soon as possible. Thus, it was inevitable that there would be many things overlooked. Now that the situation is under control, it’s time to clean things up properly.”

Mu Yunyao looked at the charcoal pot filled with paper ashes. “Since Your Royal Highness knows about the problem of the Jiangnan salt tax appearing again, how do you plan to deal with it?”

“Currently, the information is not accurate. It only says that the Jiangnan salt tax has been tampered with. However, the specific details have yet to be verified. I will get people to investigate the information as soon as possible.”

Mu Yunyao nodded. There were too many ways to tamper with the salt tax. The last time the salt tax incident had occurred in Yangzhou City, someone had tampered with the tax and collected too much of the tax, so the salt tax account was seriously short of money. When the salt tax was checked, it was necessary to make the illusion that the salt ship sank in order to offset the shortfall.

This time, he only knew that was a problem with the salt tax, but he did not know where the problem was. Is the salt tax not levied according to the share as the last time? Or is the official and private sector maliciously lowering the tax and raising the salt price? Or had someone played tricks on the amount of personal salt? Only by investigating these things clearly, can the right medicine be prescribed.

Thinking that there might be a problem with Bu Xian Luo, Yue Wang’s heart sank. “Yunyao, you have to be extra careful these days. Jin Wang has been investigating the Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo. He seems to be suspicious of these two places.”

“Jin Wang … Speaking of him, it seems that Yang Lian, the envoy from Liangjiang, has met with Jin Wang since he returned to the Capital a few days ago. ”

“It might seem like they bumped into each other at some street restaurant on the surface. But for a prince and a third rank official, it doesn’t seem like the case at all.”

Mu Yunyao’s brows slightly moved as she made a bold guess, “Your Royal Highness, do you think that Jin Wang’s so generous with his silver could be that he touched Jiangnan’s salt tax?”

Yue Wang subconsciously shook his head, “This should not be … The tax on salt is quite important, so Imperial Father has been keeping a close eye on this piece of cake. Previously, First Imperial Brother had already suffered, so Jin Wang shouldn’t be tempted to do anything on it.”

“I’m not afraid of ten thousand taels of silver, just in case. But I always felt that Jin Wang should be short of silver taels, but he is not short of silver taels? It couldn’t have fallen from the sky.”

Yue Wang’s expression was solemn: “I will have my men check as soon as possible. If Jin Wang is really involved with Jiangnan salt tax, this matter will be serious. Every time it involved the salt tax, it would shock the entire country. If it involved the current dynasty’s prince, who knew how much trouble it would cause?”

Mu Yunyao saw the tiredness on his face and couldn’t help but feel a bit of heartache. “Your Royal Highness, don’t be too anxious. Just come one step at a time.”

When Yue Wang heard Mu Yunyao’s concern, a warm smile appeared in his eyes. “Mmm.”

After telling the matter to Yue Wang, Mu Yunyao’s heart seemed a lot more at ease.

Eunuch Cheng walked in and placed the tea on the table with a face full of smiles. “There are two new chefs in the mansion. How about Miss Mu trying their craftsmanship? If you like it, I will get someone to write down the dessert recipe and bring it to Miss when you leave later.”

“Thank you, Eunuch Cheng.”

“Young Miss is too polite. By the way, the lotus pond in the backyard is almost dug. A spring was dug out in the garden just yesterday, but the water flow is not strong. I want people to dig deeper. When the weather gets warmer, I will transplant some lotus flowers. When the summer comes, the scenery must be pleasant.”

“Then how about I go and have a look later?”

“Of course, it couldn’t be better. I don’t know what kind of railings Young Miss likes. But a few days ago, Wang Ye was thinking about building some railings and small pavilions around the lotus pond. If Miss likes it, you could tell Wang Ye.”

Even though he knew that Miss Mu was related to Wang Ye by blood, when he saw them standing side by side like a couple, Eunuch Cheng still could not help but try to match them. “Ai, what a perfect match. It’s just a pity that fortune makes a fool of you.”

Mu Yunyao gave a spurious smile as she looked at Yue Wang, “Didn’t Yue Wang just be fined his salary? Didn’t he have no money left? Why do you still have the energy to build small pavilions? ”

Yue Wang’s expression did not change. “I just borrowed a sum.”

Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but find it laughable. This person used the silver she lent to build his own estate. It’s really …

Yue Wang then stood up: “Let’s go. I’ll take you to see the spring.”

After looking at the lotus pond, Mu Yunyao bid farewell and left.

Yue Wang sent her out, turned around, and immediately ordered his men to go down and set up the place. Bu Xian Luo was the foundation for him to take control of Jiangnan. Even if he had to endure the pain and clean it up, he could not leave any hidden dangers behind.

One order after another was conveyed, which vaguely aroused the undercurrent of the storm.

In the Su family’s estate, the atmosphere was lively.

Although Zhang Wan was personally bestowed a marriage under the Emperor’s decree, she was nominally Su Qingwuping’s wife and was on par with the Sixth Princess. But in the end, there was still a difference in status. In addition, Zhang Wan’s father was terribly upset over her insistence on marrying Su Qingwu. Thus, the preparations for the marriage dowry had been made in a particularly hasty manner.

At this moment, Zhang Wan was sitting in her new room. She lifted her head and lifted the veil on her head. She looked at the Dragon and Phoenix candles on the table not too far away, and a strong sense of sarcasm flashed in her eyes.

Xi Mama quickly spoke up to stop her. “Young Miss, this red veil is for Young Master to lift. It’s against the rules for you to do so.”

“Don’t worry. No one cares about the rules and regulations. Tonight, Su Qingwu won’t come to my place.”

Just then, there was a faint sound of worship that could be heard from outside.

Zhang Wan stood up and walked to the side of the table. When she saw the strange things on the table for the first half of her life, she immediately instructed Xi Mama, “Exchange these things and cook a bowl of noodles. After a day of starvation, I don’t have any strength left.”

“Young Mistress…”

“If I told you to go, then go. Where did all this nonsense come from?” Zhang Wan looked impatient.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came through the door, “Miss, the Su family’s Second Madam is here.”

The Second Madam?

Zhang Wan’s expression changed as she ordered, “Please invite people in quickly.”

The Second Madam followed behind two Mamas carrying camellia pots. “Place the camellia pots on the ground. Be careful and don’t knock out or touch them.”

Zhang Wan stepped forward and bowed, “Greetings, Second Aunt.”

“Wan’er, hurry up to get up. Let me take a look at this bride. She truly is beautiful. Qingwu is blessed.” The Second Madam’s face was full of refreshing smiles as she praised Zhang Wan with complete sincerity.

Zhang Wan raised her hand and touched the scar on her face. “It’s good as long as I don’t scare Second Aunt.”

“What are you talking about? Your bearing is extraordinary. Even with some scars on your cheeks, you can’t hide your flaws. You look good everywhere. Yunyao sent someone to deliver this pot of camellia flowers to me. She’s especially warning me to bring it directly to your room. I’ve had someone to looked after it with extra care. Look at this pot of camellia! Every single one of one of these camellias bloomed so beautifully that it couldn’t help but made me feel overjoyed when I saw them.”

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 465

~ IT’S BETTER TO KISS EACH OTHER ~ 

In the Palace, the Sixth Princess, Huaiyang, cried beside the bed, and Xi Mama on the side was full of anxiety: “Sixth Princess, the auspicious hour is about to arrive. If you don’t change your wedding dress, I’m afraid it’ll be too late. If you miss the auspicious hour, it would be extremely unlucky.”

“Unlucky? Imperial Father was heartless. He actually allowed Qingwu to marry that ugly Zhang Wan. Is there anything more ominous than this?”

Xi Mama didn’t dare to make a sound.

When Imperial Concubine Li, the Sixth Princess’s mother, walked in and saw her appearance, she could not help but sigh. “Huaiyang, why don’t you get up and change your clothes?”

“Mother, this daughter’s heart is aggrieved. Didn’t that Zhang Wan take the initiative to end the engagement? Why did Imperial Father suddenly change his mind and insist on letting Qingwu marry her together?”

Imperial Concubine Li didn’t know how to explain it clearly, “Huaiyang, Zhang Wan and Su Qingwu were already engaged to begin with, but you suddenly interfered, causing their marriage to be disrupted. Otherwise, they would have already become husband and wife.”

“Qingwu doesn’t like that Zhang Wan at all, and he’s such a handsome young man. How could she possibly be worthy of him?”

“It’s already too late to say anything now. Your father’s decree has already been passed down. If you are not willing to serve with Zhang Wan, then I’ll risk my face and beg the Emperor to destroy this marriage.”

“No!” The Six Princesses hurriedly stood up, “Mother, I want to marry Su Qingwu. I like him. Even if there’s that stumbling block, Zhang Wan, I want to marry him.”

She had no way of disobeying her Imperial Father’s decree. She could only watch as Zhang Wan sat on equal footing with her, but once they reached the Su family, it was not necessarily who would win and who would lose! With her identity and methods, she didn’t believe that she couldn’t get rid of Zhangwan, the little daughter of Great Scholar’s residence.

“Since you’ve already decided, then hurry up and change into your phoenix coronet. Don’t delay the time to worship.”

Huaiyang was unwilling, but when he thought of Su Qingwu, she forced herself to keep her spirits up. After changing her clothes and entering the bridal sedan, she was escorted by the Palace maids and guards all the way to the Su family’s residence.

On both sides of the street, the commoners discuss with each other. “As the daughter of the Emperor, shouldn’t Princess Huaiyang establish her own Princess Palace? Just like the Grand Princess?”

“The Grand Princess has an incredible status, so naturally, no one else can compare to her. Furthermore, this Sixth Princess broke their relationship and forced herself to marry into the Su family. Didn’t you hear about the big ruckus that happened a while ago?”

“I had heard of it before, but this Sixth Princess really can’t think about who they can marry. She could marry a dignified prince, but she had to break the marriage of others. I heard that the one who was betrothed to the Su family’s Eldest Young Master was Miss Zhang from the Great Scholar’s residence. On the hunting grounds, Miss Zhang had suffered severe injuries in order to protect the Sixth Princess and even ruined her appearance. How could the princess be ruthless and snatch her husband too?”

“Then who is right? However, the Emperor also seems to be angry with the princess. Not only did he not build the princess’ mansion, he even set her wedding date so hastily. Look at this scene! Where does it look like marrying a princess?”

“It’s really complicated to understand. Forget it. Let’s just take a look at the excitement. I wonder if the Su family will give porridge today?”

After Ni Yun Fang took the lead, many merchants and famous people would always treat the commoners with porridge as long as they had a happy occasion. The commoners would then profit from this, and they would have a favorable impression of Ni Yun Fang.

“I guess it’s not enough. I had heard that the Second Madam had prepared silver coins to buy grains of rice and porridge when she was in charge of the family. However, the daughter of the Su family that had been married off had returned. She had used the silver coins originally used to make porridge to buy a wedding tent. In winter, the flowers withered, and the flowers and trees were decorated with various colors of wedding tents. From a distance, the trees were piled with blossoms and brocades, which made people amazed.”

“If you want me to say that it’s better to use that silver to make porridge...”

Mu Yunyao was leaning against the window as she flipped through the books. When she heard the sound of drums coming from outside, she couldn’t help but look out the window. “It’s quite lively today.”

“The Sixth Princess had someone deliver an invitation ahead of time, Miss. She said she wanted to invite Miss to the Su family’s residence for a banquet. Are you going?”

Mu Yunyao shook her head, “There’s nothing to look at, so I won’t be joining in on the fun.”

Liu Liang appeared at the door, a letter in hand. “Mistress, a letter is coming from Jiangnan.”

Mu Yunyao sat up straight, quickly opened the letter, and checked it. After she finished reading, her brows were tightly knitted together. “Where did you get this news from?”

“It came from Bu Xian Luo in Yangzhou City. At first, two salt merchants took fancy to one of Si Cha. They accidentally leaked the information about it during the dispute. Si Cha then asked slowly about it. It took her more than two months to get some information from them.

Mu Yunyao carefully read the letter’s contents before turning her head to instruct Jin Lan at the side. “Help me prepare clothes and a carriage. I want to make a trip to Yue Wang’s residence.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Within Yue Wang’s residence, Eunuch Cheng had sighed who knows how many times. His face was creased into a ball, and his only remaining eye was dim and lifeless, “Ai, how can there be such a coincidental thing in this world? The heavens don’t even have eyes. Can’t they pity our Wang Ye?”

Yu Heng sat at the side. “Eunuch Cheng, you said that Wang Ye and Miss Mu are related by blood. Can’t the two of them....”

Eunuch Cheng turned his head and glared at him, “What nonsense are you talking about? Aren’t things still uncertain? In addition, there were many cousins who were married. So what if it was an uncle and niece? In all seriousness, their blood relationship isn’t that close. It’s better for them to be closer.”

“Even so, Your Royal Highness and Miss Mu’s statuses are different. If those imperial historians have not grasped this opportunity to participate in the performance from the beginning, Jin Wang and Ling Wang will insist on it. They definitely use this opportunity to ruin Wang Ye’s reputation....”

Before the words were finished, a guard came to report: “Eunuch Cheng, Miss Mu is here and is getting off the carriage at the door.”

Eunuch Cheng swiftly stood up and turned around to walk quickly towards the study. “Wang Ye, Miss Mu has come. Do you want to change your clothes?”

The pen held by Yue Wang paused slightly before shaking his head. “Uncle Cheng, go prepare some refreshments and also bring two charcoal pots over. Yunyao is afraid of the cold.”

“Yes.”

Mu Yunyao followed Yu Heng into the study. They walked very fast along the way, and her breathing was slightly unstable.

Seeing her like this, Yue Wang immediately made her sit down, “Yunyao, what’s the matter?”

Seeing that Yu Heng and the others had already left, Mu Yunyao took out a letter from her sleeve. “Has Your Royal Highness received any news from Bu Xian Luo?”

Yue Wang opened the letter, and after reading the contents, his eyebrows tightened, “Jiangnan salt tax…the last salt tax incident is not over yet, and now they are doing something on the salt tax, why are they so unscrupulous?” 

“People die for wealth, and birds die for food. Since the Emperor ascended the throne, the salt merchants in Jiangnan have been cleaned up once every few years. However, the salt tax is obscene, and private salt’s is still prohibited. But I didn’t expect that this time the storm came so fast.”

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 464

~ AN EMPTY STRAW BAG ~ 

After hearing Zhang Wan’s words, Mu Yunyao didn’t know what to say, so she could only respond in silence.

Zhang Wan chuckled and lifted her hand to remove her veil gently, revealing her face. The wound on her face was very severe, and the two scars extending from the side of her nose to her lower jaw were very noticeable. “Little Sister Mu, is my appearance extremely ugly?”

“Beauties are in the bone, not in the skin. Elder Sister Zhang’s temperament is gentle, has a poetic and scholarly spirit, which is unmatched by many people.”

“Oh, the Zhang Wan you’re talking about has already been killed by the wolves in the hunting grounds, and I … I am no longer her.” Zhang Wan took a deep breath and put her veil back on, “I don’t know why, but I feel that I should come to see you. Little Sister Mu, now that you have Grand Princess Yi De’s love and have an incredible identity, you have to be extra careful. This person is prone to deceive reason with jealousy and might even do something. I don’t know what you will do. You have to be careful yourself.”

“Did Elder Sister Zhang hear anything?” Mu Yunyao’s heart stirred.

“What can I hear? It’s just a reminder for you, which can be regarded as repaying the favor you gave me when you sent me the letter.” Zhang Wan turned her head to look at camellia flowers on the ground. “Heling Flower, I like it very much. Little Sister Mu, don’t forget to to give them to my maid.”

Seeing that she didn’t want to speak anymore, Mu Yunyao didn’t force herself to ask, “I definitely won’t dare to forget.”

“Alright, then I’ll be taking my leave. Little Sister Mu’s clothes are thin, so there’s no need to send me off.” After Zhang Wan finished speaking, she directly left the greenhouse. When Mu Yunyao put on her cloak and went out, she had already gone far away.

Jin Lan helped Mu Yunyao pull her cloak back. She didn’t understand what was going on, “Miss, what did this Miss Zhang come here for?”

“Farewell.”

“Farewell?” Jin Lan didn’t understand.

Mu Yunyao blinked and suppressed the bitterness in her heart. She turned around and returned to the greenhouse, looked at the flower crane feathers planted on the ground, and she reached out her hand to touch the colorful lotus-like petals, “Jin Lan, prepare the flower pot. Transfer these flowers into the pot a few days in advance and carefully take good care of them. On the 26th, the flowers will definitely bloom beautifully.”

“Yes.”

The Zhang Wan of the past was already dead, and now this one was born entirely for revenge.

Suddenly, she saw her own shadow in Zhang Wan’s body. If she did not have Mother, she would probably be even more extreme than Zhang Wan. However, it’s the Su family. It’s easy to get in and difficult to get out. I hoped that she would not regret today’s decision.

On the 22nd of the first lunar month, Su Jin and Yang Lian returned to the Capital. The Su family sent people to greet them. The Second Madam arranged for them to stay at the Luoxia Yuan, which is the closest to the Old Madam’s courtyard. She heard that Su Jin had fainted on the spot upon seeing the Old Madam. Yang Lian sighed when he saw Su Wenyuan and was even more surprised when he heard him talk about the current situation of the Su family.

When Su Jin returned, she was incredibly dissatisfied with the Second Madam’s handling of the affairs in residence. Seeing that Su Qingwu’s happy event was approaching, she quickly bought many things and filled all parts of the Su family.

In the Palace, after being favored, Su Yuyi lived in the side hall of Cuirong Residence. Every day, she would go to Imperial Concubine De to set up a routine. When she helped with the dishes this day, she looked in a trance and directly poured a hot soup onto Imperial Concubine De’s legs. Although the Palace clothes were thick in winter, and Imperial Concubine De was not severely burned, she punished Su Yuyi.

Feeling sad, Su Yuyi wandered around the Imperial Garden and met Honorable Zhou. The sky was cold, and the roads were slippery. Su Yuyi bumped into Honorable Zhou, and the two of them fell into the lake together. By the time they managed to get out of the water, the two of them had already fainted. Su Yuyi had caught a cold and couldn’t get up from the bed, yet Honorable Zhou unexpectedly had a miscarriage.

When the Emperor heard the news, he flew into a rage. He hadn’t doted on Honorable Zhou for several months, but she was two months pregnant … Once this matter was revealed, the entire harem became silent. Honorable Zhou and the Palace maids who had served the two of them the other day were all killed by the staff. Su Yuyi was so frightened that she fainted. After waking up, she was told that she was confined to the side hall of Cuirong Residence, and it was undecided when the confinement would be lifted.

Imperial Concubine De angrily brought people to the side hall and asked people to drag Su Yuyi off the bed before slapping her twice in the face.

Su Yuyi’s clothes were thin as she knelt on the ground, her entire body trembling. “Imperial Concubine De, please help me. I have just been favored by the Emperor, and I haven’t had the chance....”

Imperial Concubine De laughed coldly, “Help you? Su Yuyi, do you really think I don’t know your careful thoughts? Go to the Imperial Garden and stroll around. Do you think that you’ll be celibated after you’ve became a favorite? You think that you have the ability to break into the imperial harem, so you can put medicine in my eyes, right?”

She punished Su Yuyi for pouring hot soup on her, and she had gone to the Imperial Garden, where she felt aggrieved, hoping to meet the Emperor by chance and complain to him?

Su Yuyi quickly shook her head, “Niang Niang, how could I have such thoughts? I relied on you to help me to have today.”

“Let’s not talk about useless things. Every year, a group of people like you dies in the Imperial Harem, and I have seen a lot in this Palace!” Furthermore, put away your tears. I will not pity you even if I see you, as I am not the Emperor. On the contrary, I will feel extremely disgusted.”

“Niang Niang…” Su Yuyi looked at Imperial Concubine De and felt chills in her heart.

Imperial Concubine De took a deep breath, “Stay here and be honest. If you have nothing to do, just copy out the scriptures and don’t think those thoughts. Otherwise, I’ll personally take care of you and save you from causing more disasters!”

“Niang Niang, where is the Emperor..…”

“Honorable Zhou just had an accident. At this time, just clip up your tail and be a human being. Don’t you think the Emperor is annoying enough?” Imperial Concubine De swept a glance at Su Yuyi and saw that she was still crying. She endured the disgust in her heart, “I’ll think of a way for you to regain the favor of the Emperor.”

“Yes, many thanks, Niang Niang.”

Imperial Concubine De returned to the main hall in a rage. The Palace maid stepped forward to massage Imperial Concubine De’s shoulders, “Esteemed Niang Niang, Honorable Zhou’s matter … There is the shadow of Imperial ConcubinLi behind her. You said that we threatened Honorable Zhou and took away the Acacia Incense from her hands. Wouldn’t it be known to Concubine Li?”

“Su Yuyi’s front foot is favored, but her back foot is calculated. It is impossible to say that there is no trace of Imperial Concubine Li and the rest. Completely destroyed the Acacia Incense, and do not leave any traces behind. For Imperial Concubine Li to make use of this opportunity, she must also find evidence.”

“Yes, Niang Niang.”

“As the Li family’s influence grew, Imperial Concubine Li made her move again and again in the harem... If I had a child, how could I have been forced into such a situation?” Imperial Concubine De closed her eyes, and her tone exceptionally heavy.

“Niang Niang, it’s all this servant’s fault for talking too much. Please punish me.” Seeing Imperial Concubine De’s sorrowful and indignant expression, the Palace maid hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty.

“It’s none of your business, so get up.” Imperial Concubine De opened her eyes, “Take care of Su Yuyi carefully and teach her everything that should be taught to her. My good sister only thinks that Su Yuyi is as beautiful as a flower and will definitely become a big thing in the future, but she has made her into an empty straw bag. She’s such a mess inside. If I teach her properly now, I might be able to give her a little bit more of a temper.”

“Yes, Niang Niang.”

On the twenty-sixth day of the first lunar month, the Sixth Princess, Huaiyang, married a first-class imperial bodyguard, Su Qingwu. At the same time, he also married the legitimate daughter of the Great Scholar’s residence, Zhang Wan.

A peony-patterned red velvet carpet stretched from the entrance of the Palace to the gates of the Su family. The common folk of the Capital gathered on the main street, standing behind the guards on both sides, waiting with excitement to watch the Sixth Princess’s festive sedan chair pass by.

Intense Love Chapter 135

~ EXTRA (11) ~ 

Thank you, everyone. This is the last chapter of Intense Love. I am sorry that I could not update you in the past month.

Su Jinbei still didn’t go to filming yesterday. She asked for leave under the pretext of being unwell.

The next day, she went to the studio on time to report. Zhou Shiyun accompanied her and brought a lot of delicious food to the crew and actors.

Hmm… after all, I robbed someone yesterday.

Su Jinbei went to filming while Zhou Shiyun sat leisurely, idle, and bored, so he picked up her script and flipped through it at will.

“Hey, who is that guy, so handsome? Is he a new actor?”

Not far away, a rookie actor asked another actor in a low voice, and the person being asked followed her gaze, “Which one? I’m going...”

“What’s the matter?”The rookie actor’s eyes were full of love as she stared straight at Zhou Shiyun.

Yes, Zhou Shiyun, who is in his forties, is still exquisite and handsome, and he also has a calm temperament that he does not have in his twenties. Such a man has a fatal attraction to a young girl in her twenties.

“Don’t look at it! That’s Sister Jinbei’s husband.”

“What?”

“You don’t even know him? Is there anyone in our circle who doesn’t know him now?”

The rookie actor, “I…I didn’t pay much attention to it before.”

“This man is not something you and I can think about. Although…he is indeed very flavorful.”

“Hehe, Sister Liangliang, do you think so too.”

“That person is Sister Jinbei’s husband. Of course, he stands out.” Liang Liang’s face flushed crimson, “However, we can only take a look at him.”

“Um… Sister Jingbei is really happy. There was such a handsome husband waiting by her side during filming. Sister Liangliang, he, he coming towards us!”

Liangliang smiled stiffly, her eyes straightened, “I know!”

“Hello.” Zhou Shiyun stopped in front of the two of them and suddenly said, “There is something I want to ask.”

“Huh?” The two of them were taken aback and said quickly, “Ask…Hello.”

“Tian Anma, is it an actor in your crew?”

“Eh? Yeah.”

“Well, can you tell me what kind of person he is? Is he here today.”

“Teacher Tian didn’t come today. As for what kind of person....” Liangliang thought, “He looks very handsome, has a good temper, and is very kind to everyone.”

The rookie actor replied, “And I heard he is still very infatuated and treats his girlfriend well. Right, Sister Liangliang?”

Liangliang glanced at her, “Right.”

“He has a girlfriend?”

“Yes, he has a girlfriend,” Liangliang answered truthfully. After answering, she found the handsome man in front of her smiling. His smile was very shallow, but he did smile.

What’s so funny about having a girlfriend??

“Baby Zhou, what are you doing?” Su Jinbei happened to have a break, and when he came for a drink, she discovered that Zhou Shiyun was chatting with someone, and they were still two little girls. A fantastic scene, a fantastic scene.……

Zhou Shiyun turned his head and didn’t answer her, but he just reached out and rubbed her hair naturally and asked, “Are you resting?”

“Yes.”

“Come here and sit with me for a while.” Zhou Shiyun took her hand and walked to the rest area.

Su Jinbei followed him and asked as they walked, “What did you say to others just now, and you were still laughing. What is so funny?”

“It’s nothing.”

“Liar.”

“It’s really nothing. Just tell people to treat you well and always care for you.”

“Take care of me?” Su Jinbei said, “I am much older than them, and I care for those little girls.”

“Really.” Zhou Shiyun’s lips twitched slightly, “I think you have not changed much from before. As you grow older, your mind....”

“How is it?” Su Jinbei glared at him.

Zhou Shiyun raised his eyebrows and chuckled, “It doesn’t matter. With me, you can always be the same as you are now.”

The End

Intense Love Chapter 134

~ EXTRA (10) ~ 

In the end, Su Jinbei compromised and let him ask for it.

“En…no, I still have to go out..” When Su Jinbei realized his hand had passed through her red dress and stuck to her back, she finally became alert. She knew this man’s combat effectiveness clearly. If something happened now, how could she go out to film later?

“Don’t go out, huh?” His passionate voice sounded deep in her ears.

Su Jinbei pushed him, “No, you can’t...”

“Yes, I can.”

Zhou Shiyun suddenly picked her up and threw her onto the bed in a couple of strokes. Before Su Jinbei could get up, he was already leaning over, straddling her, and putting his hands on both sides, “Do you remember what you said when you came to the mountainous area to find me before? You said you want a reward.”

Zhou Shiyun lowered his body even lower, “So, to be fair, I will also be rewarded for coming to see you so far away.”

Su Jinbei, “???”

Wouldn’t he talk about when she went to Guizhou long ago?

“How long has that been… Besides, I just kissed you at that time.”

“Well, it’s been a long time, so as time increases, the rewards should also be improved.”

“???”

Zhou Shiyun smiled, leaning over and biting her earlobe. The improvement in this reward is to do something more profound than kissing …

Su Jinbei shrank from the itch behind her ears. She bit her lip and groaned subconsciously.

After so many years of being together, Zhou Shiyun knew her body like the back of his hand and knew precisely how sensitive she was. I felt that he knew nothing more. So, he drifted behind her ears, slipped to her neck, and nibbled momentarily. Then, he sucked on her shoulders along the neck for a while.

Su Jinbei had long forgotten the southeast and northwest when she was teased, so she held his shoulders and enjoyed it silently.

Slowly, Zhou Shiyun stretched out his hand to pull apart her red dress. The inside of her dress was clearly revealed, and her white skin seemed shiny on the red background of the red dress.…

“Don’t break it. This is a costume.” Su Jinbei’s low voice made Zhou Shiyun feel unbearable for a while. If it weren’t for his rationality, he would want to tear off her attractive clothes directly.

“You lie down.” Su Jinbei suddenly got up and pushed him aside. She didn’t let Zhou Shiyun react and directly took off the bottom of her skirt, turned over, and sat on him.

Su Jinbei thought faintly. If she couldn’t escape, she is the one who would take the initiative… If not, her clothes were really damaged by him.

In fact, she seldom can be condescending in bed. Zhou Shiyun likes to dominate and always puts her under his body to toss and die.

Today, let her suppress him once. Su Jinbei winked her eyes lightly, “Since you said it was your reward, then today, I will take charge.”

As she said, she untied his belt and slowly took off his pants.



After removing the obstacle, Su Jinbei raised her eyes and looked at him. At this time, Zhou Shiyun’s eyes were deep and fixed on her body. Su Jinbei curled her lips, smiled, and grasped his tall figure wickedly, slowly rubbing it from the tip and then letting her fingertips to the bottom.

Sure enough, Zhou Shiyun groaned, and his breath became obviously thicker.

Su Jinbei ignored him and continued to act. She lifted her skirt, took a deep breath, and sat down slowly, aiming at the position.

The red dress spread out, covering his body and the most private place. Obviously, you can’t see anything, but such a concealed feeling like this can touch people’s desires even more. Su Jinbei began to move slowly. She was not moving fast. She was slow, and her waist gradually twisted. However, such a spring scene made Zhou Shiyun unable to control it.

After letting her play for a while, he didn’t want to bear it anymore and finally grabbed her waist and pushed her up sharply. Hitting it deeply, Su Jinbei was slammed up, and before she could come up in a breath, he pulled her back again …

Oh, come on. I’m the one who suppresses you tonight!

“Knock..knock.” Just as the two of them sank, the door was knocked suddenly.

“Jinbei, Jinbei, would you like to go downstairs and have something to eat first? We will be filmed very late at night.”

Zhou Shiyun held her with one hand and clasped her two hands on her head, and Su Jinbei whimpered, “Well… someone ....”

Zhou Shiyun said, “It doesn’t matter.”

“Don’t…ah…it’s Heidi....”

Heidi called out for a long time, but no one answered, so she called Su Jinbei. As a result, the mobile phones on the bedside of two rang like this. Su Jinbei cried heavily, “If I don’t answer, she will think that something happened to me… Um… Ah… Zhou Shiyun....”

“Then you answer the phone.” Zhou Shiyun let go of his hand and handed her mobile phone to her with a muffled voice, “Just pick it up.”

Su Jinbei bit her lip and tried to hold back the whine in her throat, “Then don’t move...”

Zhou Shiyun chuckled and stopped moving.

Su Jinbei saw that he was willing to stop, so she swiped the answer button, “Hello, hello?”

“Jinbei? Are you in the room?”

“I’m here.”

“Then why didn’t you respond after I called for so long?”

“I...ah!”

She stared at Zhou Shiyun angrily. He went back on his word and bumped in again!

Zhou Shiyun raised his brows slightly, and his cold brows and eyes were full of jokes.

“Huh? What’s wrong with you.” Heidi said suspiciously.

“I… it’s okay. I accidentally… bumped into....”

“Okay, I just wanted to ask if you want something to eat.”

“No, I want to sleep for a while.”

“Well, that’s fine. You have a good rest, and I will come to you when the time is up.”

“……Good.”

Hung up the phone, Zhou Shiyun took off her mobile phone and pinched her chin, “Didn’t you dare to scream just now?”

Su Jinbei went to kick him angrily, “I’m on the phone, and you still make trouble. You go out....”

Zhou Shiyun leaned down and kissed the corner of her lips, “You are not on the phone anymore, so I don’t need to go out.”

“…”

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 463

~ THE BEAUTY’S HEART IS VICIOUS ~ 

Seeing Yue Wang keep the silver notes properly, Mu Yunyao brought tea and gave it to the guest. Mu Yunyaounderstood some of the emotions. But when she really had to part with them, she still felt a lot of reluctance and heartache. She should not see Yue Wang these few days, just in case she couldn’t let him go even more.

Yue Wang didn’t mean to leave, so he carefully took the teacup and tasted it. “This tea is not bad. Yao’er, I am thinking of giving my father the recipe for the ginger tea.”

“Ginger Tea recipe?” Mu Yunyao was a little puzzled. “What use can this recipe have?”

“By sending them into the army, we can relieve our great worries.”

“In the army?” Mu Yunyao suddenly understood. “When I first sent you Ginger Tea, I only wanted to curry favor with you. Thus, when I was in trouble in the future, I could ask for the help of Your Royal Highness Yue Wang. But I didn’t expect it has some use in the army. Your Royal Highness can handle it by yourself.”

Yue Wang couldn’t help but sigh, “Yunyao, even if we won’t have any results, you don’ have to be so alienated from me.”

Mu Yunyao pursed her lips, not knowing what to say.

Yue Wang stood up and looked at her hair: “I give you the hairpins, so pick the ones you like and wear it. If you lack anything in the future, you can tell me. As an uncle, I should love his niece. What do you think?”

Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but reveal a smile as she suppressed the sorrow in her heart. “Then, I’ll have to thank Fourth Uncle.”

“Okay.”

Inside the Grand Princess’ mansion, the Emperor’s face was a bit flushed. “Imperial Elder Sister, I didn’t go to Jin Wang’s Palace last night. it’s just...”

The Grand Princess Yi De smiled and shook her head, her spirit slightly weakened. “I’ve heard that Imperial Brother has a new beauty. It is only natural that he took care of her.”

“Imperial Concubine De pushed it to me, so....” The beauty of the night before did not feel anything, but when he thought back carefully today, there was a lot of annoyance in my heart. He knew Imperial Concubine De’s thoughts. Although he was amazed by Su Yuyi’s appearance and dancing style, she didn’t take much of his thoughts. After all, Su Yuyi and Mu Yunyao were cousins. Besides, he was old and didn’t have the same feelings as when he was young, but after seeing Su Yuyi dance under the moon last night, he had actually been unable to control himself as if he were a teenage boy.

“Imperial Concubine De wanted to pick some young girls to take care of the Emperor. She was quite thoughtful, but this candidate … Forget it, since the Emperor has already bestowed Su Yuyi as his concubine, if Imperial Brother is willing to pamper her, then just pamper her for a while. It’s just that Imperial Brother need to take good care of your own body and don’t act recklessly.”

The Emperor’s expression turned even more uneasy. “Imperial Elder Sister, I’m already an old man, and I’m not a young boy. I still have some sense of propriety.”

“Alright, let’s not talk about it anymore. I believe that Imperial Brother must have heard about what happened last night. I also didn’t expect that Su Qing was really my child....”

“Imperial Elder Sister, are you sure about the identities of Su Qing and Mu Yunyao?”

“It shouldn’t be wrong. However, we still need someone to check it carefully.”

“En, it’s the Su family. When the Old Madam from the Su family heard that her daughter died to save Su Qing, she immediately fainted. Right now, the Su family has already sent people to retrieve Su Xue’s corpse, and they hope that the child can return to the Su family.”

The Grand Princess Yi De’s eyes darkened, “The Su family is quite considerate.”

“Well, during this time, Su Wenyuan was steadfast, and his mind gradually converged. Jin Wang also knew that he had made a mistake and had done a good job. If the Su family knows how to correct their mistakes in a few months, it would be appropriate to promote their position. After experiencing this incident, the Su family will know what to do and be a human being.”

“This is an important matter of the Imperial Court. Imperial Brother can make his own decisions, and it is not something that I can comment about.”

“What are you saying, Imperial Elder Sister? Imperial Elder Sister saw the major matters of the Imperial Court more clearly than I did.” When the Emperor saw that the Grand Princess did not show any displeasure because he wanted to promote the Su family, he felt slightly relieved. He was not willing to hurt Imperial Elder Sister’s heart for the sake of the Su family, but the Imperial Court needed to check and balance each other.

Jin Wang and the Su family suffered multiple setbacks, causing the authority of Ling Wang and the Li family to increase. Such a dominant situation is not what he wants to see, and raising a family needed time and effort, so it was not as convenient as the Su family.

After sending off the Emperor, Qu Mama brought the decoction over. “Your Royal Highness, it’s time to drink the medicine.”

The Grand Princess Yi De took the medicine bowl and drank it all. The bitter taste of the medicine melted into her mouth, causing her to frown. “Go and check with Imperial Concubine De and Su Yuyi to see if they have used any tricks to the Emperor. If they do, then break their hands for me.”

The Emperor is too old and can’t stand the tossing of the harem. It was okay if she wasn’t in the Capital, but she was still here now. If they dared to put those dirty tricks on the table, then don’t blame her for being cold-blooded and ruthless.

In the evening, Qu Mama came back to report, “Your Royal Highness Grand Princess, we’ve investigated thoroughly. The Imperial Concubine De has found the Acacia Incense from Honorable Zhou, and Su Yuyi danced on the night of the Spring Lantern Festival. She added water made of the Acacia Incense to the burning coals, which is why it easy to arouse the Emperor’s affection.”

“Acacia Incense... Tell Imperial Concubine Li about this matter. She knows what to do.”

“Yes.”

On the 20th of the first lunar month, as the Sixth Princess’ wedding day was approached, Mu Yunyao pruned the flowers in the greenhouse.

“Miss, Miss Zhang from the Great Scholar’s residence is here.”

The silver scissors in Mu Yunyao’s hands used a bit of force and accidentally cut off a blooming rose. She picked up the flower and threw it into the small basket on the side. “Invite Miss Zhang to sit down. I’ll come over right away.”

“Yes.”

Just as Mu Yunyao was about to change her clothes and welcome the guests, she saw Zhang Wan led over by Jin Qiao. “I heard that Little Sister Mu has built a greenhouse here, so I couldn’t help but be curious to come over to admire it, does Little Sister mind?”

Zhang Wan’s face was covered by a veil, only revealing a pair of smiling eyes. However, Mu Yunyao felt that the smile in her eyes didn’t reach the bottom of her eyes. “How can I mind? It’s just that it’s too hot and stuffy here. I am afraid that Elder Sister Zhang won’t adapt.”

“In order to appreciate the flowers, it’s worth bearing with a bit of discomfort.”

Mu Yunyao stepped aside, gently lifting the heavy curtain to signal Zhang Wan to enter the greenhouse. “It’s good as long as Elder Sister Zhang doesn’t mind.”

Some roses and camellias, especially camellias, are planted in the greenhouse. They are colorful in red, yellow, and pink.

Zhang Wan was stunned and couldn’t help but squat down in front of a camellia. She didn’t seem to care that her skirt was stained with dirt. “This camellia is beautiful.”

“The crane plumes are planted layer upon layer, and the colorful brocades are blooming. The name of this camellia is Heling. If Sister Zhang likes this flower, I will have someone transfer it into a flower pot and deliver it to the Zhang family’s residence when you leave later.”

“Alright, but I won’t take it with me today. Wait until the twenty-sixth day of the first lunar month, then Little Sister will send it to the Su family’s residence. Consider this as a celebration of my marriage.” Zhang Wan stood up, standing beside the camellia with a graceful posture, with a smile in her eyes, as if she was as delicate as a flower.

Mu Yunyao abruptly trembled. “A wedding?”

“Yes. I came here today to tell Little Sister Mu about this. Some the mperial historians in the Imperial Court said that Su Qingwu was unkind and unrighteous to take advantage of my appearance to retire. I thought about it carefully, and this is true. Thus, I asked my father to ask the Emperor to bestow me upon Su Qingwu as a concubine. Since the Emperor thought that I had saved the Sixth Princess’s life, he deliberately graciously allowed me to become Su Qingwu’s equal wife and marry the Sixth Princess into the Su family’s residence.”

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 462

~ HEROES ARE SHORT-SIGHTED, AND CHILDREN ARE LONG-SIGHTED ~ 

After Mu Yunyao woke up, Jin Qiao reported the news to her, “Miss, Miss Su was lucky she bestowed a concubine as soon as she came in the Imperial Harem. She was the only one in the Palace. Even the Imperial Concubine Zhen didn’t have this sort of honor, and today, the world is in an uproar.”

Mu Yunyao smiled with a calm expression. “It’s not certain if it’s a blessing or a curse. Just wait and see. What about Liu Liang?”

Very soon, Liu Liang of light entered. “Greetings, Mistress.”

“Liu Liang, what about the matter that I asked you to investigate?”

“Reporting to Master, Jin Wang does not have many properties under his name, but in August, not long after you returned to the Capital, he sent two of his aides to Jiangnan and got in touch with the salt merchant there.”

“Jiangnan Salt Merchants?” After the salt tax case earlier, Mu Yunyao silently dispatched some people to integrate into the salt merchants with the help of the salt merchant industry that she secretly bought, and some of them have achieved satisfactory results.

“Yes, moreover, this subordinate investigated and found out that the Su family’s Second Daughter, Su Jin, and her husband, Yang Lian, had already left for the Capital. According to the calculations, they would arrive in four or five days. Nominally to attend the wedding of the Su family’s eldest young master, Su Qingwu .However, according to the news sent by the salt merchant, it seems that there is something wrong with the tax and silver.”

“Yang Lian... I remember that Yang Lian is an envoy from Liangjiang and is at the third rank official. He could be said to be a top official in the frontier. Without the Emperor’s order, how could he leave the territory so easily?”

“Yang Lian’s achievements as an official are quite good. During the end of the year’s official examination, he obtained an a first-class grade, upper rank. The Emperor intended to transfer him to the Capital, so he specifically ordered for him to return to the Capital.”

Mu Yunyao rubbed the space between her eyebrows. “Because of me and mother’s identity, many things were delayed. Now that I want to arrest them, I actually feel that I have nowhere to start.”

“Mistress, take your time. There’s no need to rush.”

Mu Yunyao carefully thought about it. “Yang Lian is an envoy of Liangjiang and has a relationship with the merchant. Thus, it’s hard for him to avoid thinking about the salt tax. However, with this case just now, those salt merchants shouldn’t be so bold as to mess with the salt tax again, right?”

“It’s not certain that wealth and honor are on the line.” You can do anything if you’re motivated by splendid profits.

“Tell Qi Ming to pay attention and appropriately mention it to the First Prince. The power of the Li family is not in vain. Li Munian is the envoy of salt transportation in Jingling City, so he can be of some use to us.”

“Yes, Mistress.”

Mu Yunyao took a deep breath, “Su Li and Wang Shi have explained that the midwife who helped the Old Madam Su deliver the baby had a son who stayed behind. His whereabouts are still unknown. I Let people pay attention. If you can find him, bring him to me at all costs. My father has been in contact with him. I want to know what exactly did they say?”

“Yes. Please rest assured, Mistress. This subordinate will immediately make the arrangements.”

“Alright.”

Not long after Liu Liang retreated, Jin Lan walked in and reported, “Miss, His Royal Highness Yue Wang is here and is waiting in the front yard.”

Thinking about Yue Wang, Mu Yunyao walked in front of the dressing table and opened the wooden box placed on top of it. She took off the laying rabbit hairpin on her head and put it inside, then took out the red envelope that Yue Wang had given her before and the written agreement to repay her 10,000 taels of gold. She threw it into the charcoal brazier pot and burned it.

Jin Lan opened her mouth. “Miss, those things....”

Mu Yunyao looked at the two pieces of paper turning into ashes, and her eyes against the light of the fire blinked slightly. “Let’s go and see His Royal Highness Yue Wang.”

Yue Wang was waiting in the Flower Hall. After hearing the footsteps, he got up and looked at Mu Yunyao. “Yunyao, I heard that Madam Su is sick. How’s the situation now?”

“Greetings to Your Royal Highness Yue Wang. Mother just accidentally caught a cold, so it’s not that serious. Thank you for your concern.” Mu Yunyao curtsied as she greeted him, her eyes carrying a faint sense of alienation.

Sense her attitude, Yue Wang’s heart suddenly tightened. “Yunyao, didn’t we agree before....”

Mu Yunyao indicated for Jin Lan and the others to step back and walk straight to the seats at the side, “My mother’s identity never made public before. But yesterday at the Lantern Festivals, Su Li and Wang Shi made such a scene. Thus, Grandmother has already made up her mind to recognize my mother. Your Royal Highness Yue Wang and I can only become a niece and uncle.”

Yue Wang’s heart ached, and the breath around his body went cold: “Yunyao ….”

“Heroes are short-sighted, and children are long-sighted, Your Royal Highness. You are someone who wants to accomplish great things. Don’t waste too much time and energy on love.” Mu Yunyao stared at Yue Wang and saw his face turn pale slightly because of her words. Her heart hurt as if it was being pierced by a steel needle. The pain she felt was bone-piercing, but some things must have been hard to reconcile. My grandmother has been trying so hard to find my mother for years. Even for her man, she can’t be so selfish.

Yue Wang restrained his expression. The warmth in his eyes slowly faded, and he returned to his cold and straightforward when they first met, “Yunyao, today, other than visiting Madam Su, I have something else to tell you. The caravan that went to Northern Xinjiang to do business with Yunnan returned. This trip took a month and a half, and it was quite rewarding. It was calculated that I could earn nearly 100,000 taels of silver.”

Mu Yunyao forcefully suppressed the pain in her heart. When she heard this, her eyes lit up, “The first time I entered another country’s business, the most important thing was to open up a business path, so the amount of profit isn’t important. What’s next is the main event.”

Yue Wang nodded his head: “That’s right, this time the business expansion has been successful. We can sell the salt one after another. That’s a big deal.”

Mu Yunyao personally held out a wooden box. “Your Royal Highness, there’s 6 million taels of silver in here. It’s enough for you to support yourself for a while.”

Yue Wang received the wooden box, and after opening it, he saw the neatly arranged banknotes inside. His fingertips moved slightly: “You are really generous. Aren’t you afraid that I will go back on my words?”

Mu Yunyao suddenly broke into a smile. “Although I can’t be a husband and wife with you for the rest of my life, I’m still your junior. As an uncle who want to accomplish great things, you shouldn’t be greedy for my money, right?”

Yue Wang smiled and shook his head: “Only you would dare to say that six million silver is a small amount. You don’t need to worry. I will definitely not renege on the debt, and I will pay you back double.”

“Then I would like to thank Your Royal Highness. By the way, Su Jin and Yang Lian are coming to the Capital. Do you know about this news?”

“Yes, I already know this news, and they will arrive in a few days. Why are you suddenly worried about this?”

“Didn’t any news come from Bu Xian Luo’s side? Jin Wang and the salt merchant have a relationship, and this Yang Lian has a relationship with the salt merchant, and they both have a relationship with the Su family. The embroidery workshop was destroyed by me, and most of the Su family’s business was trampled on. Logically speaking, right now, Jin Wang should be very tight. But the red envelope he gave me contained 20,000 taels of silver, and his way of doing things is rather magnanimous. The news was sent over from Qi Ming saying that Jin Wang still has the ability to stop the development of Yi Bao Xuan, no matter how you look at it, it was not normal.”

Yue Wang’s expression gradually became solemn: “Your personality has always been sensitive. If you think there’s a problem with it, then there’s an 80 to 90% chance that it’s really not right. I’ll immediately send someone to investigate.”
