Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 287

~ ENEMIES ARE EXTREMELY JEALOUS WHEN THEY MEET ~ 

Meng Yanran was tongue-tied, “You …. You are trying to force the truth!”

Mu Yunyao chuckled, “If you think what I said is wrong, then don’t come to talk to me again. After all, you and I have nothing to say to each other!”

Zhang Wan looked at Meng Yanran and sighed in her heart, ‘Even the Emperor wants to win back the hearts of the people, saying that the people are important, that the country is next, and that the monarch is least. But she openly and secretly mocked Mu Yunyao’s birth. Didn’t she merely want to be humiliated?’

“Pa Pa Pa!” A round of applause rang out, causing the five people in the pavilion to immediately turn their heads over.

Su Qingwu walked over with a young man wearing a narrow-sleeved white robe with an ink splash pattern on it. His jet-black hair was tied with a golden crown. Under his slender eyebrows, his phoenix eyes were warm and flawless. His face was sharp, and his facial features were profound and clear. He was self-cultivation and elegant that one could not help sighing with admiration: What a fine young gentleman!

Looking at him, Mu Yunyao was taken aback. The noise in her ears gradually disappeared, and only the handsome figure in front of her became clearer. A cold light flashed in her eyes, and the chill flowed through her heart through her limbs. She could even hear the sound of her own blood freezing.

She heard a soft whisper in her ear:

“Yao’er, it’s my greatest regret that I can’t marry you in this life and allow you to walk shoulder to shoulder with me. You can rest assured that I will treat you like pearls and treasures in the future. I will hold you in my hand and put you in my heart. You will be happy for the rest of your life, and I will not let you down…”

It was the man in front of her who had solemnly vowed and said that he would be happy for his entire life and would not disappoint her. But he had sent her unconscious’s body to Yue Wang’s residence the next day…

When he was gentle, he was like honey. Even when he was cold and hard like iron, he could still twist his fingers and bend his fingers. When he lowered his head to look at you, he is full of eternal affection, which made people feel deeply stuck and drowned unknowingly.

When she died miserably, she screamed out countless times in her heart. She wanted to ask him why he gave her away, why he used such a miserable method to humiliate her to death. Didn’t he say that she will be happy for the rest of her life? Wasn’t he regretful that he couldn’t marry her? Even if he has a kitten or a puppy, he should have had some feelings for it over the years. So, how could he be so cold and ruthless?

Upon seeing Su Qingwu, Su Yuyi quickly stepped forward and greeted him, “Greetings, Elder Brother.”

Su Qingwu nodded her head, “Sister, this person is His Highness Jin Wang. Salute and greet him quickly.”

Su Yuyi looked up and was looking at Jin Wang with a smile. Her eyes were warm and moist. Although there was a hint of amazement in her eyes, there was no infatuation in them. It seemed that she was merely appreciating, and with the addition of his exceptionally handsome face, Su Yuyi’s heart involuntarily began to jump, a blush flashed across her face quickly. “Greetings, His Royal Highness Jin Wang.”

“Miss Su, please excuse yourself. I’m sorry for disturbing you.” After Jin Wang finished speaking, his gaze landed on Mu Yunyao. “I presume that this person is Miss Mu, who has received a reward from Royal Father?”

Looking into those eyes, Mu Yunyao seemed to hear a cracking sound beside her ears. The surrounding sounds suddenly converged back together, and her blood also started to flow again. The chill in her heart slowly disappeared and was replaced with a thick hatred.

The corners of her lips curled up. Her pure autumn water-like eyes were clear and black. Under her bright smile, her eyes became even more brilliant and flawless. “Greetings, His Royal Highness Jin Wang.”

“There is no need for Miss Mu to be so courteous. You have donated a hundred thousand taels of silver in Jingling City to give back to the people. Such kindness and benevolence are truly admirable.”

“His Royal Highness is not bad either. The year before last, you ordered to go Longping City for disaster relief. There was a plague in Longping City, and as a Prince, you didn’t care about your own safety, took the risk, and survived with the people together. Last year, you went to Ningzhou to build the dam. You ate and slept with the river workers and protected tens of thousands of people’s safety in the lower reaches of the Honghe River. Until now, there are still many people who have built the memorial archway for His Royal Highness Jin Wang. This kind of courage and insight is something that ordinary people cannot compare.”

Jin Wang’s eyes stirred as he looked at Mu Yunyao with surprise. “I didn’t expect Miss Mu to actually to know about this matter. It really makes me ashamed.”

“His Royal Highness Jin Wang’s reputation is extremely great. Many people know about it, so it’s not strange for me to know about it.” The corner of Mu Yunyao’s mouth lifted as she looked at Jin Wang with a gaze as bright as the sun on a peach flower. It was exceptionally bright and actually made Jin Wang momentarily absent-minded.

“His Royal Highness Jin Wang, why don’t you take a seat in the pavilion?” Su Yuyi, who couldn’t get a word in, spoke up.

Jin Wang shook his head, “Today is a banquet to welcome Lady Su and Miss Mu. I shouldn’t have disturbed you, but I just happened to come to see how Qingwu’s injuries were faring. I couldn’t help but stop after hearing what Miss Mu had to say just now. I won’t disturb you anymore.”

Su Yuyi was stunned for a moment before nodding her head, “If that’s the case, then I’ll send you off, Your Highness.”

Jin Wang nodded his head, and his smile became more and more gentle, “Today, I didn’t have the time to prepare the gift. I will make it up for Miss Mu another day.”

“One cannot accept gifts without merit. I have no friendship with Royal Highness Jin Wang, so I dare not accept your gift.” Mu Yunyao smiled as she shook her head.

Jin Wang paused for a moment before smiling, “You are as good as Royal Father said, honest and straightforward. It’s truly a rare sight.”

“Thank you, His Royal Highness Jin Wang, for your praise.”

Su Yuyi stood in the same place with a stiff face. She had heard many things about Jin Wang from her elder brother’s mouth and admired this Third Prince in her heart. She didn’t expect that the first time they met, his gaze wouldn’t land on her. Instead, she let Mu Yunyao got the limelight!

Meng Yanran once again lost face and almost went mad from anger. She grabbed Mu Yunyao in an attempt to find a way to make up for her loss, but she discovered that Mu Yunyao was like cotton that couldn’t be squashed, couldn’t be crushed, and no matter what you say, there was always a way to stop her from being speechless.

Mu Yunyao was very bored. Just as she was thinking about whether she should find an excuse to leave, she saw Su You walk over with the others. When she sees Mu Yunyao, her eyes lit up, and she waved: “Little Sister Yunyao, I’ve been looking for you for a long time. Come quickly.”

Mu Yunyao stood up. “Elder Sister Su You has something to discuss with me. Please, excuse me. I hope everyone will forgive me.”

Zhang Wan had already suffered greatly from the exchange in the pavilion. Now that she saw Mu Yunyao leave, she heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. “Alright, Miss Mu, please do as you wish.”

Mu Yunyao followed Su You out of Liulan Courtyard. After passing through the corridor, the voices faded away, and the seething hatred in her heart at the sight of Jin Wang gradually subsided.

Su You turned his head and looked at her, slightly snorting, “You little girl, shouldn’t you thank me?”

Mu Yunyao was stunned, then couldn’t help but laugh out loud. She raised her hand to pat Su You’s head, “You’re still a little girl yourself, yet you actually dare to call someone else this way?”

“You are really ungrateful! If I hadn’t called you out, you would still be dealing with Meng Yanran!” Su You took two steps back to avoid Mu Yunyao’s hand, staring at her in disbelief, “You’re an idiot if you want me to say so. That Meng Yanran is just like a stone in the pit. Others even can’t hide, but you want to get close to her. Are you not afraid that you will be contaminated by the stench?” “It’s not that I want to go up. It’s that someone can’t bear to see my peace.” Facing Su You, Mu Yunyao’s heart couldn’t help but soften. The girl in front of her still hadn’t reached her best of her life yet. But it looked like she was about to come to an end...

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 286

~ MENG YANRAN HAS BEEN PROVOKING REPEATEDLY ~ 

After Mu Yunyao stood up, she directly walked over to Lady Jin. “Daughter greets Mother.”

Lady Jin stood up and helped her up. With a face full of smiles, she sized her up before asking, “Yao’er, is everything alright?”

After hearing about the relationship between Su Qing and Mu Yunyao with the Su family, Lady Jin had hoped that they would come to the Capital as soon as possible. Finally, she was looking forward to them coming. Lady Jin had been waiting for two days to come to visit. However, she heard that Mu Yunyao had got slapped by the young miss of the Meng family. After carefully inquiring about the causes and consequences, she couldn’t help feeling distressed.

Now that Mu Yunyao’s face was practically devoid of traces, it was only then that she felt her heart, which had been hanging in the air this entire time, calm down.

“After coming to the Capital, my grandmother and aunts took great care of my mother and me. Everything was peaceful and good.” Mu Yunyao had a sweet smile as if there wasn’t the slightest bit of haze on her face.

Lady Jin lightly squeezed Mu Yunyao’s hand and replied with a smile, “That’s good.” She had no one to rely on when she came here, and she didn’t even know anyone. So she was framed and made things difficult for her. Fortunately, the Emperor summoned her to the Palace. The backyard of the influential house has always been the most tight-knit. It was not a secret that even if someone died, they would be able to do it soundlessly.

Mu Yunyao’s heart warmed. After accompanying Lady Jin for a while, she saw Su Yuyi walk over. “Little Sister Yunyao. Last time, we agreed that I would bring you to meet a few more people. Today is perfect for that. Everyone is here, let’s go talk together, how about it?”

Mu Yunyao looked at Su Qing, “Mother, please accompany my adoptive mother. Elder Sister and I are going to make some friends.”

“Alright.”

Lady Jin nodded at Mu Yunyao, hinting that she would take good care of Su Qing. Only then did Mu Yunyao relax and followed Su Yuyi’s footsteps.

There were all sorts of colorful chrysanthemums blooming outside, and none of the chrysanthemums that could be placed here were ordinary. With just a glance, Mu Yunyao could see Purple Dragon Lying Snow (Zi Long Wo Xue), Cinnabar Red Frost (Zhu Sha Hong Shuang), and Yotai Jade Pheonix (Yao Tai Yu Feng) … Each flower had a different shape and blooms to the extreme. It made people unable to shift their eyes away.

In order to make the young ladies more at ease, the ladies gathered in the main hall, leaving the courtyard empty for the young ladies to play.

Mu Yunyao followed Su Yuyi to the corner pavilion. With a glance, she saw the ugly Meng Yanran sitting in the pavilion. She couldn’t help but slightly raise her eyebrows. “I really didn’t think that this Young Miss Meng would dare to appear here right after being humiliated.”

Meng Yanran also saw Mu Yunyao. A trace of malice flashed past her eyes.

Su Yuyi didn’t stop and walked to the pavilion to greet a few young ladies who had already stood up.

Su Yuyi had a smile on her face: “Little Sister Yunyao, let me introduce you. You already know Little Sister Yanran, so there’s no need to say anymore. Here is the legitimate daughter of the Great Scholar’s residence, Zhang Wan. Here is the legitimate daughter of the head of the Imperial Academy, Zhou Yuyin. They are both older than you, so you should call them Elder Sister.”

Mu Yunyao stepped forward to pay her respects but didn’t follow Su Yuyi’s words to address them as an elder sister. Instead, she greeted them one by one according to their identities, “Greetings, Miss Meng, Miss Zhang, and Miss Zhou.”

At the end of the salute, Mu Yunyao glanced over Zhang Wanin intensively. She was the young miss of the Great Scholar’s residence whom Su Qingwu get betrothed. According to their agreement, the two of them would be married by the end of the year, but who would have thought that during the September Autumn Hunt, the Sixth Princess of Huai Yang would be able to recognize Su Qing with a single glance. She had threatened him to marry her and had even caused a commotion. If Su Qingwu didn’t want to marry her, he would have to leave the family, forcibly annulling this marriage.

“Miss Mu need not be so courteous. I have long heard of your good name. Seeing you today is indeed worthy of your reputation.” The one who spoke was Zhang Wan. She had a gentle and beautiful appearance, and her tone was exceptionally soft. At this moment, she was smiling as if she wanted to draw others closer to her.

The Great Scholar was extremely strict with their daughter’s upbringing. Every move of Zhang Wan’s was exceptionally well-behaved. However, her character was too soft and weak, allowing her to accept death’s reason. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been forced to die in the end.

Meng Yanran laughed coldly and said without concealing her hostility, “Is the wound on your face has healed? It’s strange to say that. I think about it carefully. That day, I didn’t really use much strength to beat you. Why are the scars on your face blue and purple, so how many days have they disappeared?”

She kept having the feeling that Mu Yunyao was the one who had done something to her, purposely acting pitiful to gain sympathy!

Mu Yunyao looked over indifferently, with a smile on her lips. “The skin on my face is delicate, and even I usually can’t stand bumping. It’s unlike an ordinary person whose skin is thicker and will not show any traces of being slapped the next day.”

Meng Yanran stared at Mu Yunyao with a gaze that caused people felt chills running down their spines. This bitch, didn’t she say she was thick-skinned? She took a deep breath to regain her senses, “Little sister Yunyao’s eloquence is truly something that no one can compare. You must have read quite a lot every day, right?”

Meng Yanran couldn’t use injuries as an excuse to belittle her, so just used her background?

Mu Yunyao is really a bit unpredictable about Meng Yanran’s mind. The best method right now for this person was obediently staying in the Meng family. Once this matter was settled, she would then think of a way to save her reputation. Who would have thought that she would actually appear at this banquet and take the initiative to be humiliated?

“Miss Meng should know that I’m from the countryside. I only speak the truth. I haven’t read many books.”

Zhang Wan, who was standing at the side, noticed that the situation had turned sluggish and could not help but say, “The chrysanthemum flowers in the yard are blooming quite well. I saw a Yatoi Jade Phoenix....”

Meng Yanran refused to let her go, her eyes full of sarcasm, “Sister Zhang, how did Little Sister Yunyao know what a Yatoi Jade Phoenix is? I’m afraid that she has only seen wild chrysanthemums blossoming in the countryside and might even think that the Ink Peony is a black peony flower! “

Mu Yunyao, on the other hand, didn’t care at all. She calmly looked at Meng Yanran, “People don’t know it when they are born. I have never come into contact with these rare chrysanthemum varieties. I don’t know if it’s excusable. Does Miss Meng have any advice for me?” Zhang Wan slightly heaved a sigh of relief. Everyone knew about the conflict between Mu Yunyao and Meng Yanran, and she was afraid that the two would quarrel on the spot. However, from the looks of it, Miss Mu was a sensible person. Even when she was scorned and humiliated, she isn’t angry. On the other hand, it was Miss Meng who was so aggressive, but she is inferior.

Meng Yanran sneered, “I’m afraid you wouldn’t understand even if I gave you advice. What can I say to you? Can you tell me the colors when I talked about wild chrysanthemums?”

Mu Yunyao’s gaze became cold, “Appreciating flowers has its own preferences. Some people like expensive and famous products, but some people prefer natural things. From what Miss Meng said, you looked down ad don’t like rural farmers. As a person, one must not forget one’s duty. Drinking water is still thinking about the source. Miss Meng enjoys the convenience brought by rural farmers, but she keeps looking down on others. Don’t you think you are hypocritical?”

“You, what did you say?”

Mu Yunyao’s figure stood straight, and her voice filled with authority, “Could it be that what I said was wrong? Which of the fragrant rice, vegetables, and fruit that you eat every day is not the result of farmers’ hard work? It could be said that they had gone through the cold to reclaim the land, had taken good care of it in the heat, and had poured sweat over it to make the food sweet in your mouth. If you looked down and did not like them, you could have avoided eating later on. You also wore satins and silks, without the farmers breeding the silkworm, without the farmers shedding the cocoons and reeling the silks. How could you wear so brightly today? That’s right, I’m from the countryside, but I’ve never been ashamed of it, so you don’t have to remind me all the time!”

Incurable Chapter 21 Part 2

It rained all night again, and light dust fell from the mountains. The tea garden of Wuling Tea House is wet and cold. Under the blue sky, several tea ladies pick the tea leaves.

The wooden window in front was high, so the line of sight was broad. Under the mist behind the tea plantation, you can see the tea plantation and the distant mountains. In the empty room, the wooden windows are wide open. The cool breeze is slow in the morning, and the air convection is also clean and fresh.

Mei Yaozhi sat on the hard carpet, sleepiness in his big eyes. His posture was casual, in sharp contrast to Liu Qianxiu, who sat upright before him.

There is a low table between the two people, with tea sets on the table, and a woman in Hanfu is performing the tea ceremony. The Longjing tea that has just been picked has a delicate green tea fragrance. The tea from the purple clay pot pours into the teacup, and the fragrance curls.

Mei Yaozhi takes another look at Liu Qianxiu. He was a highly self-disciplined and restrained person with a terrifying routine. Sitting this way, he watched the mist in the distant mountains gradually washed away by the sun. He seemed surrounded by a layer of immortal celestial air, incompatible with the world.

Yeah, it’s just out of place.

“Get up so early and drink tea at the tea house.” Mei Yaozhi took a cup of tea and drank it in one sip. The delicate fragrance went straight down his throat, making him less sleepy.

When the tea finished brewing, the woman withdrew back. Mei Yaozhi also straightened his body and began to talk about business. He handed the document to Liu Qianxiu and said, “The person you asked me to check it out last time.”

There was a crisp sound from the paper file bag, and Liu Qianxiu reached out and took it.

There is little information, only three pages up and down, but the content is very trivial and detailed. Mei Yaozhi briefly described it to Liu Qianxiu.

“The Mu family in Chengxi was engaged in cloth and tailoring. During the Republic of China, the family was prosperous and flourished in the 1980s. After the Mu family’s old lady passed away, Mu Yatang took over the Mu family’s business, but now it is not as good as before. Mu Wan followed her mother’s surname. Her Mother, Mu Qijun, became pregnant before she was married. To conceal this news, the Mu family said that Mu Wan was adopted by Mu Qijun. But she actually was born from her. The Mu family felt that Mu Wan had ruined their family tradition, so she was in a very unfavourable situation in the Mu family, especially after Mu Qijun’s death. Later, she moved out of Mu’s house as soon as she became an adult. Now, she has no contact with the Mu family.”

Mei Yaozhi recalled a small coincidence, then poured another cup of tea and said to Liu Qianxiu: “I used a trustworthy network of connections to find out the man who let Mu Qijun get pregnant before marriage, namely, Mu Wan’s father. Hey, it’s a coincidence that he is also...”

“Song Kangze.“ Liu Qianxiu said it lightly after reading the last page of the document.

Mei Yaozhi was taken aback and surprisedly said, “You really know him.”

Liu Qianxiu took out the second page of the document, which contained information about Mu Wan’s father. He looked down and said little.

“Then you asked me to check her because of her father?” After Mei Yaozhi finished speaking, Liu Qianxiu raised his eyes to look at him, noncommittal.

Mei Yao knew that he couldn’t understand Liu Qianxiu’s thoughts. He was like a pool of water, crystal clear to the bottom, but he couldn’t see how deep the pool was or what was at the bottom.

Without further questioning, he told Liu Qianxiu: “She is now an 18-line actress and some roles are quite hard to perform. If you want to help her, it’s just a matter of moving your fingers...”

Before Mei Yaozhi didn’t finish his word, his mobile phone rang. He glanced at it, got up, and said, “It’s time for me to go.”

Tapping his finger on the file bag, Liu Qianxiu saw him get up and said flatly, “Thank you.”

“What are you polite?” Mei Yaozhi smiled carelessly, remembering something before leaving. He tapped his head with his finger and said, “The old lady knows that I am looking for you this morning, and she let me tell you to come home with me for dinner in the evening.”

The old lady of the Mei family is Mei Yaozhi’s grandmother and Liu Qianxiu’s grandmother. Liu Qianxiu bent her lips, nodded, and said, “Okay.”

Mei Yaozhi also smiled and said, “Then I’m leaving. Oh, my dear mother, I usually haven’t had any tea in the morning. This is the first time I had a bellyful of tea...”

Before dawn, Mu Wan came to the photography base to shoot. This time, she was filming a war scene in which she played a military doctor. The scenes were blasting from dark to daybreak, and Mu Wan was choked with ashes.

It’s already daybreak, and the war scene shooting is over. She will make a sacrifice scene later, even if the filming of her role is finished.

She went back and forth to treat illnesses and save people. Mu Wan’s body lost her strength, and her back hurt. While the film crew was resting, she sat in a trench made of sacks and played Plants vs. Zombies.

The sunflower was not planted when her mobile phone shook, and a text message appeared at the top of the screen.

(Liu Dao Chang: Where are you?)

Mu Wan’s heart was shocked. She immediately opened the text message interface, tapped the keyboard, and replied to the message.

(Mu Wan: Filming at a photography base.)

After sending it out, Mu Wan’s teeth bit her lower lip and smiled, but she took a bite of ashes. She laughed and spat out two times, then returned one message.

(Mu Wan: How about you? What are you doing at home?)

He should be home now because he doesn’t have to work on Sunday.

Liu Qianxiu did not answer her question, but he returned another text message.

(Liu Dao Chang: I have an appointment tonight.)

With a smile on her face, Mu Wan understood what he meant. She shrank her back. Her small shoulders were slender and narrow, like a small tabby cat hiding in a corner. Suddenly, someone sat down next to her, choking on the dust. She coughed twice, and her mobile phone screen was dirty again.

“Mu Wan, look at that man. He’s so handsome!” Gao Mei sat beside her and pulled Mu Wan to let her look forward, “Is it an actor? It’s impossible. With this face, I would know if he’s an actor.”

Mu Wan felt a little sad, so she didn’t respond to Gao Mei, staring at her mobile phone screen to reply to the text message. Seeing that Mu Wan ignored herself, Gao Mei merely held Mu Wan’s face with her two fat hands, making her look toward the handsome guy.

“Hey...” Mu Wan’s small face crumpled into a small ball, her eyes swept randomly, and finally, she froze in front of her line of sight.

The smell of firearms and dust in the blasting scene is very nasty. Thick fumes billowed, and dust filled the sky. The man was standing there, wearing light-coloured clothing, with his body pure and meaningful. His eyes were light, clean, and cold. He looked independent from the rest of the world.

Mu Wan’s heart beat fast. She watched for two seconds and stood up from the trench.

Liu Qianxiu stood there, looking at Mu Wan from a distance. Her small face was dirty and dusty, with only one pair of eyes, which were still apparent and translucent. She was initially in disbelief when she saw him and then felt slightly flustered. She raised her hand and wiped the dust on her face. After wiping it for a long time, only a little piece of the cheek on the left showed the original whiteness.

She couldn’t clean it until the end, so she gave up and ran over from the trench. Her slender figure was agile and quick. She ran up to Li Qianxiu and looked back and forth at him several times as if she didn’t know for sure. After confirming finally, the corner of her eyes curled.

“What are you doing here?” Her voice trembled. She had just wiped her face, and her movement was too hard, so her face was a little red.

Liu Qianxiu looked at her quietly and said: “I don’t have time at night.”

“Huh?” Mu Wan was slightly confused. Her lips closed somewhat, and she nodded, “I know. I received your short...”

“Shall we have lunch together?”

The words in her throat stopped abruptly, and Mu Wan raised her head, her eyes brightened.

The author has something to say: 

Liu Daochang: Do you know what it means not to send you home?

The relationship between the two has begun to change~

Incurable Chapter 21 Part 1

Mu Wan’s body was empty. Liu Qianxiu pinched her waist with both hands and lifted her straight like a father holding up his daughter, petting and loving. She didn’t expect to see him so strong when he looked a little thin.

After the rain, the air was clear, the wind blowing was chilly, the basketball in her hand was cold, and the hand that  Liu Qianxiu held on her waist felt cool. Between heaven and earth, only she felt hot.

With his heart beating on her eardrum, Mu Wan’s palm sweats slightly, while the temperature of Liu Qianxiu’s palm is transmitted to her waist through the thin cloth, which is dry and cool.

She held the ball and straightened her arms. With force, her waistline moved, and the basketball went into the hoop with a ‘bang’ sound.

The basketball fell to the ground and quickly rebounded to hit the ground. Mu Wan listened to the ball’s sound and moved her eyes down, and then she was put down by Liu Qianxiu.

The ball didn’t bounce anymore and rolled away. Mu Wan panted quietly, and a layer of hot sweat broke out on her body. As soon as the wind blew, she instantly felt cold. It made her skin and heart tight.

However, the feeling after sweating was hearty. It was like the fog had subsided, and the ship on the long voyage had found the lighthouse. Mu Wan turned around, looked up at Liu Qianxiu, and asked, “Am I good?”

Liu Qianxiu’s expression remained unchanged. It seemed he didn’t use any force to lift her up just now. He said faintly: “Powerful.”

Mu Wan laughed, “I’m good because of you.”

She looked at him, and there was light in her eyes, like a fire. He looked at the fire quietly and asked, “Are you hungry?”

Maybe it was because she recently took two shots that consumed some of her physical strength or because of her problem that she didn’t know how to refuse. Mu Wan looked at him and nodded, “I am hungry.”

“Going home now?” Liu Qianxiu asked.

There was a flash of light in her eyes, her throat moved lightly, and the corners of Mu Wan’s lips curled up slightly. She looked back at the basketball, which made her neckline look smooth and beautiful.

“Come back.”

The two returned to Liu Qianxiu’s house, and Mu Wan went to find the three little ones to play with her. The little ones are now out of the kitten’s room and moving around in the cat’s room. The little guys are curious about the new place, but Zhou Yi is much more cold and calm, always lying on the cat climbing frame. Occasionally, it looked down when it heard the kitten cry.

Cats and cats develop feelings, as do humans and cats, but what about humans?

After dinner, Mu Wan accompanied Liu Qianxiu to clean up the kitchen and naturally sat beside him after they finished. Naturally, she hasn’t read the book. Mu Wan stretched her arms on the table, her chin pressed against the paper, smelling the faint fragrance of books, and her gaze traced Liu Qianxiu’s outline.

He remained quiet and indifferent as if nothing could disturb him. Mu Wan watched him for a while, then got up and went to the cat’s room.

After a while, Mu Wan exited the cat’s room and sat beside Liu Qianxiu again. This time, instead of lying on the table, she propped her hands back on the ground, looking in the direction of the cat’s room, and when she heard the faint cry of the baby cat, Mu Wan gently called out.

“It’s here.”

The man next to her finally moved. Mu Wan turned her head, looked at him with bright eyes, and said: “It’s not good to be bored. Let them come out and relax for a while.”

Liu Qianxiu looked at her quietly. His eyes were as clear as water, and the lights reflected on them. Inside, a woman’s figure was in a trance.

He didn’t speak, so Mu Wan thought it was disturbing him. Then she retracted her arms, sat up straight, and said, “Then I will send them back.”

“No need.” Liu Qianxiu said in a deep voice, lowering his head to continue reading.

After getting permission, Mu Wan’s eyes flashed a smile momentarily. She looked at the kittens who couldn’t find their way. She patted the carpet gently and said, “Come here. Mommy is here.”

After shooting, Mu Wan’s voice was lowered by half again, and she added something with a voice that she could only hear herself.

“Dad is here too.”

Liu Qianxiu paused slightly when his fingers turned over the book.

After shooting, Mu Wan’s voice was lowered by half again, and she added something with a voice that she could only hear herself.

“Dad is here too.”

Liu Qianxiu paused slightly when his fingers turned over the book.

Mu Wan naturally didn’t give attention to this little detail. The three kittens heard her voice and had a general direction. After a while, they staggered over with their short legs.

The light lengthened and enlarged the three small figures, who looked lovely and charming. Their soft voices were like marshmallows soaked in hot cocoa.

In the blink of an eye, the three little ones gathered at Mu Wan’s side. She sat cross-legged, and Ertong and Datou wanted to get closer to her, and their little paws stepped on her ankles.

The soft, warm little paws stepped on her ankles, making Mu Wan’s whole figure disappear. She was full of tenderness, reached out to help, and hugged the two little guys in her arms. When she was about to catch Zhongfen, she looked, tilted her head, and saw Zhongfen crawling on Liu Qianxiu’s legs.

Liu QIanxiu’s legs are long, and his sitting cross-legged is higher than Mu Wan’s, so Zhongfen is very difficult to climb. Zhongfen crawled twice, stomped on its tiny paws, put its chin on the man’s leg, and started to meow.

Just as Mu Wan was about to reach out and grab it, in her sight, a slender white hand caught the black and white Zhongfen. Liu Qianxiu’s fingers curled slightly, his movements were extremely gentle, and he placed Zhongfen on his legs.

“Meow~” Zhongfen acts like a baby.

Liu Qianxiu looked away from the book and fell on Zhongfen’s body.

One person, one cat, the scene was so warm and touching. He looked at it so quietly. The light hit his cheeks and eyelashes, making Mu Wan feel gentle and moving.

He stretched out his hand and stroked his fingers gently on Zhongfen’s head. Zhongfen was lying quietly on his legs, limbs stretched out, and its paws spread like a blooming flower.

“You’ve grown up.” Liu Qianxiu said in a low voice. His voice was long and distant, like a god in heaven speaking to a refined creature on the ground, revealing a shallow chill coming out of the clouds.

Mu Wan looked at ZHongfen, who lay on Liu Qianxiu’s legs. She folded her arms slightly and placed them on the short table. Putting her chin on it, Mu Wan looked at Liu Qianxiu and said.

“Liu Qianxiu, I want to be your cat, too.”

It was raining again outside. The sound of the cold rain attracted her attention. She lay on the table and looked out the window. Her body was soft and agile, while her posture was loose and sluggish. It’s like a kitten demon who has just taken shape in the growth and still doesn’t know how to sit.

Raindrops struck his eardrums. Liu Qianxiu looked at her and said, “It’s getting late. I’ll take you home.”

After Mu Wan was sent off to her home, Liu Qianxiu went home alone. The living room was heavily illuminated, and nothing else except his light breathing. Liu Qianxiu walked over to the short table and sat down. Then he picked up the book he hadn’t finished reading.

A black flash reflected in his sight. Liu Qianxiu raised his eyes and saw Zhou Yi squatting on the side. On the short table is a book that Mu Wan did not look at all after spreading it out before leaving.

The black cat sat there, seeming to overlap with Mu Wan's slender and soft figure. Zhou Yi called out, and there was only a mass of black in his sigh. After his pupils dilated, he looked at its dark body and eyes.

The empty living room is free of disorder and suitable for meditation. But Liu Qianxiu’s heart seemed unable to calm down, and he felt that the space was not empty, surrounded by loneliness and solitude.

Then, Mu Wan’s words echoed in his ears.

Liu Qianxiu, I want to be your cat, too.

With his eyes drooping slightly, Liu Qianxiu didn’t think further, lowered his head, and continued reading. At this moment, his mobile phone vibrated, and Liu Qianxiu glanced at the mobile phone screen. His eyelids moved slightly, and he closed his eyes.

“Tomorrow morning at eight o’clock, Wuling Tea House.”

~ KILLING A HUNDRED FLOWERS AFTER BLOOMING ~ 

In Liulan Courtyard, most of the guests had already arrived. They were talked together in groups of twos or threes, and among them, the Eldest Madam had gathered the most people.

“Madam Meng, Miss Mu’s good name is now widely spread throughout the Capital. Even the Emperor has specially bestowed her with a reward. If such a young miss were to appear in any family, it would be a great honor for them.”

“Yeah, she’s able to take out 100,000 silver easily. Even with our background, it’s impossible for us to take out 100,000 silver and give it to others.”

“Or is it that Miss Mu will receive a reward from the Emperor again?”

Even though the Eldest Madam’s anger had already risen from her heart, there was still a smile on her face, and it was difficult to read her thoughts, “That little girl Yunyao is indeed very well-behaved and sensible, and her heart is also very kind. After coming to the residence, she has gotten along exceptionally well with her sisters, and Yuyi likes her very much.”

“Speaking of Yu Yi, you really treasured this daughter of yours. Normally, you rarely let her attend banquets, and even if she did go, she would only be able to communicate with each other wore that familiar veil. Today, you must bring her over so that we can have a look.”

“That’s right. Rumor has it said that Yuyi is both talented and beautiful. She is also the jewel of the Su family. Today, we must definitely gamble on the brilliance of this precious daughter.”

“That kid, Yuyi, is usually quiet and doesn’t like to move. Furthermore, she has to study the rules in residence and also help me manage the family affairs. Naturally, she doesn’t have that much time to go out and play.” Talked of her own daughter, the Eldest Madam’s smile became even more genuine. “But since you all said so, today I will let her come out and pay her respects to everyone.”

“That’s great. it just so happens that my daughter is also here and bring them over to let them know and recognize each other.”

The topic of Grand Princess Yi De wanted to pick the right lady and place it in the name of her lost daughter had already been spread throughout the Capital. Everyone who was able to attend the banquet today was clear and understood the purpose of the Eldest Madam’s actions. However, many people want to hold that flower palanquin. The Su family had hosted the banquet, and no one will speak straight out in front of them.

The Eldest Madam instructed Qi Mama behind her, “Go and invite the Eldest Miss over. Tell her not to be busy in the back.”

“Yes, Madam.”

Many ladies called their daughters over and sat in the hall to wait for Su Yuyi.

At this time, all the nurturing servants in the Capital were not easy to invite, and all the residences were wholeheartedly urging their daughters to study the rules. The Emperor had already put down his word and asked the officials had to bring their female relatives during the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. The meaning is obvious. Isn’t it just to let these officials take their daughters over to see if their daughter can enter the eyes of Grand Princess Yide?

Therefore, the young ladies who had gathered here at this moment were all dignified and elegant. Their every move was extraordinary and beautiful, just like they were a hundred flowers competing with each other, causing people to be entranced upon seeing them.

Not long after, Qi Mama hurried back. “Reporting to the Eldest Madam, the Eldest Miss has arrived.”

Everyone turned to look at the door and saw a young girl who looked like a fairy carrying a stream of light. Her hair tied into a bun, with beautiful eyebrows, bright lips, and white teeth … She was wearing a long skirt made of thin water smoke, With a complete set of jasper exquisite butterfly steps. When she walked, the golden butterfly gently fluttered as if it could fly away with its wings in the blink of an eye.

“Greetings, Mother. Greetings, Madams.” She slowly stood still as if a hundred flowers bloomed around her. For a moment, it was as like that the sun and moon had lost their luster.

The young ladies who had initially thought of a competition all had stiff faces at this time, almost not daring to believe their own eyes. They had heard that the Eldest Miss of Su Family is beautiful for a long time, but they had never thought that this person would be exquisite to such an extent!

Many of the young ladies lowered their heads. They couldn’t even muster up the slightest thought of fighting with Su Yuyi. In fact, if it was possible, they didn’t even want to stand together with Su Yuyi. Many of them were first-rate beauties, but no matter how beautiful they were, they couldn’t be compared to the fairies.

“Madam Meng is so lucky.”

“That’s right. Isn’t it a good blessing to have such a fairy-like daughter?” They could all imagine just how eye-catching the Eldest Miss of the Su family would be during the Mid-Autumn Festival’s palace banquet. At that time, who could contend against her?

Su Yuyi felt a bit embarrassed after being praised. She bowed to the other ladies again, “Ladies, you’re too kind.”

The Eldest Madam gestured for Su Yuyi to stand beside her. She was so satisfied and stretched out her hand to pull her, “Ladies, don’t praise her anymore. Yuyi has always been thin-skinned. If you keep talking, I’m afraid she won’t be able to show her face.”

Lady Jin sat at the side and looked at the amazement in Su Yuyi’s eyes. She felt more worried about Su Qing and Mu Yunyao in her heart.

She had heard quite a lot about the Su family after she had come to the Capital, and she had also heard some things about this Eldest Madam’s style of doing things. Her reputation had always been good outside and been a virtuous woman. From the Old Madam in the Su family to the family’s maidservants, there is no one who does not praise for her a good sentence. But in her opinion, the more so, the deeper this person is. She really doesn’t know how Su Qing and Yunyao live here.

As she was thinking, she suddenly heard a servant enter and report, “Madam, Madam Su, and Miss Mu are here.”

Everyone in the hall immediately looked towards the door. Having Su Yuyi made them lose all their confidence. If that Mu Yunyao is also so impressive, then it would really make them despair.

Mu Yunyao followed behind Su Qing and slowly walked into the hall. When she saw Lady Jin, her eyes lit up, and she gently nodded her head.

Looking at Mu Yunyao’s appearance, Lady Jin couldn’t help but smile. Although they hadn’t been apart for long, in her heart, she was already missing Mu Yunyao a lot. In just a few months, Yunyao had changed quite a bit. In particular, her spiritual aura was even stronger than before. She was really wondering what will happen to her when she fully matures? What will she look like being?

Mu Yunyao followed Su Qing and bowed. The calm and tranquil atmosphere exuded from her body caused people to be amazed.

“This is Miss Mu?” Didn’t they say that this Mu Yunyao was born and bred in the rural area? However, her bearing was not something that an ordinary family could cultivate. How could it be grown up in the countryside?

“Yunyao greets the various madams.”

“Miss Mu need not be so courteous.”

Mu Yunyao dressed in a jade-green skirt with a peony embroidered just like Su Yuyi. It was just that her beauty wasn’t revealed in such an intense manner, just like the haze of blue water gauze on the outside. Her head jewelry is also simple. The jade hairpin was matched with a thin piece of white pearl, not specifically out of the ordinary but absolutely natural, making people feel comfortable from the inside to the outside.

Su Yuyi’s beauty is like a proud fairy, as though she was the only peerless beauty in the world. Her entire body brimmed with the aura of killing a hundred flowers after blooming, and her sharp gaze made people not dare to look straight at her.

On the other hand, Mu Yunyao was totally different. Her beauty was breathtaking, as though she gathered the spirit of the mountains and rivers of Jiangnan. Her gentle and soft appearance was even more soundless.

Her appearance could not compare to Su Yuyi’s, but for some reason, when the two of them stood together, they did not lose their luster like the others. Especially her skin. It was so fair and tender that it seemed as if one could pinch water out of it. Her entire body emitted a charming and beautiful color, causing people to be unable to shift their gaze away.

~ SU YOU GIVES CLOTHES ~ 

Mu Yunyao didn’t pay any attention when she met with Su You before. The Su family is hosting a banquet. Nominally they want to celebrate her being rewarded by the Emperor and welcome them back to the Su family. The list of the invited guests and the display of the big family all reveal an unusual flavor.

But she merely didn’t expect Su You would bring someone to the Jiyue Pavilion on the night before the banquet.

Mu Yunyao put down the brush in her hand and covered the calligraphy paper before asking Jin Lan to invite the person inside.

Su you walked into Mu Yunyao’s room, looked back and forth for a moment, couldn’t help but slightly snort, “Are you lying to me?”

Mu Yunyao blinked her eyes in confusion, “Elder sister Su You asked this right after entering the door. How have I lied to you?”

Su You glared at Mu Yunyao, her pale face flushed red from anger. “You said that you don’t have any clothes to wear, but I can see that the furnishings in your room are very luxurious. Could it be that you spent all your silver on this?”

Mu Yunyao looked at the maidservants behind Su You. They were holding a tray in their hands, and on the tray was a sewn set of clothes, “You … You actually helped me prepare clothes?”

That day, she only felt that Su You’s thoughts were simple and that her eyes were wide open, similar to the Snow Fox on the table. She teased Su You a little, but she didn’t expect the other party to take it seriously.

Su You stomped her feet. Just as she was about to say something, she felt her throat blocked up and her hands pressed against her chest to breathe.

Mu Yunyao was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to support her. While helping her breathe normally, she reached out and pressed on the acupoint on her chest. “Don’t be anxious. Breathe in slowly. Everything will be fine very soon.”

The hand holding her is very warm, and the place where Mu Yunyao held onto was very sore, but it alleviated her turbulent nausea and discomfort. Not long after, Su You slowly recovered from it, and she shouted at the maidservants and mama that surrounded her to get her water and impatiently drank it. She looked at Mu Yunyao with a pleased expression, “Just now, you … are you scared?”

Mu Yunyao helped Su You to sit down, and when she saw the look of pride in her eyes, she couldn’t help but feel helpless, “That’s right, I was indeed frightened by you.”

“I know, you’re afraid that I won’t be able to catch my breath and die at your place. After that, my mother and father will definitely not let you go, and you’ll have to pay with your life.”

When Mu Yunyao heard the words, she couldn’t help but stretched out her hand and patted Su You’s head, “Don’t worry, you won’t die for a while by looking at your appearance. Before you’re dead, I’ll make a big noise and disturb all the people in residence. With so many people present, you’ll have nothing to do with me if you die.”

The mama behind Su You couldn’t help but reveal an angry expression. How could this Mu Yunyao curse the Fifth Miss like that?

Su You, however, did not mind. After being stunned for a while, she suddenly clapped her hands and laughed: “Is that a solution? It seems like you really are an idiot, and you should get someone to carry me out before I die so that you can get rid of this relationship a little faster.”

“Alright, if you are to be sick again next time, I will follow the method you taught me.”

“Hmph, it’s not like you have anything nice to look at it. Coming here this time is enough and will definitely not come again in the future. Lu Liu, give her that piece of clothing. I am afraid that there won’t be any clothes to wore tomorrow.” After she spoke, Su You stood up and coughed softly twice. It looked like she seemed to be very disgusted, “The fragrance you have over here is also bad. It seems like you’ve really spent all your silver on decorating. You’re not living meticulously. I can’t stay any longer, so let’s go.”

After which, she walked out.

Jin Qiao stood at the side and was stunned by what she saw. “Could it be that Miss Fifth come here to get revenge?”

Mu Yunyao walked to the side of the table and picked up the clothes on the tray. The entire set of the skirt was very exquisite, and the style was also exceptionally extraordinary. It was divided into two layers, inner and outer layers. The inner layer used high-quality silk brocade, the silk was white in color, embroidered with a beautiful pattern of butterflies piercing flowers. The outer layer was made of the finest jade-green silk, and the dress was a jade-green color. The designs and patterns on it also softened a little, making it seem fresh and refined.

Jin Lan helped to spread out her clothes. After looking at it, she couldn’t help but reveal a surprised expression. “This Luo dress is so beautifully made. It seems like it’s not made in a short period of time.”

Mu Yunyao stretched out her hand to stroke the jade-green water outer, her eyes revealing a complicated expression. “Carefully put it away. I’ll wear this to the banquet tomorrow.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Jin Qiao placed the clothes on the shelf, and Jin Lan helped Mu Yunyao untie her hair. “Miss, that Fifth Miss … You seem to like her very much?”

Mu Yunyao looked at herself up in the bronze mirror and couldn’t help but slightly smile. “Perhaps it’s because we’re both in the same boat.”

“Sympathize with each other?” Jin Lan was slightly confused.

“It’s just a feeling. I can’t explain it clearly.”

Seeing that Mu Yunyao didn’t want to speak anymore, Jin Lan tactfully stopped asking and gently smoothed her hair, “Miss, you are going to attend the banquet tomorrow, so you’ll have a rest earlier today.”

“Got it. You guys can go down as well.”

Lying on the bed, Mu Yunyao slightly turned around and set her gaze on the clothes hanging by the bed. If her guess was not wrong, the clothes should have been prepared by the Second Madam for Su You to wear when at the came out age ceremony. The ceremony has not been carried out all the time. There wasn’t much of a difference in shape in their bodies, just a slight modification, and it became her size.

When she saw Su You, she felt as if she saw herself in a previous life struggling to live. The feeling of trying hard to breathe, yet still being unable to stand up to the footsteps of death, of being alive was enough to make people go crazy. However, Su You was luckier than her in her previous life because she has parents who love her every possible way. Although the journey is difficult, it’s good that someone supports her behind her back.

Mu Yunyao closed her eyes and covered up the complicated emotions in her eyes. She sighed lightly, “I owe her a dress today, which is to say, I owe her a debt of gratitude. I’ll find an opportunity to return it some other day.”

Banquet was held as scheduled the next day.

As there were quite a few people invited to the banquet, the location was decided to be at Liulan Courtyard in the East Courtyard, where the place was spacious, and the scenery was beautiful. It was also filled with autumn chrysanthemums, making it very convenient to enjoy the flowers.

Mu Yunyao put on her clothes and tidied up before heading to Su Qing’s place.

Su Qing looked at Mu Yunyao’s face, and her expression finally relaxed a little. “After resting for the past two days, the wounds have finally healed. If you don’t look carefully, you won’t be able to tell much.”

“It wasn’t too bad anyway.” Mu Yunyao helped Su Qing straighten her sleeves and looked at her beautiful appearance. She couldn’t help but praise her mother, “My mother is so beautiful.”

“Did you eat honey today? Why are your words sounding so nice?”

“Mother was originally a good person. What I said was from the heart, so I didn’t specifically say anything nice to hear.”

Su Qing couldn’t hold back her laughter. She was still a bit worried, “I wonder who we’ll meet at today’s banquet.”

“Mother, you don’t have to worry too much. We don’t know most of the people who come. When that happens, you only need to talk to my adoptive mother. You don’t have to worry about anything else.” The Eldest Madam’s purpose for hosting this banquet was clearly impure, and she wouldn’t be so kind as to let her and her mother be the main characters of this banquet.

“Yes, Mother understands.”

~ AWKWARD SU YOU ~ 

“You … How can you do that? It ... It was not doing it on purpose. Isn’t it just a set of clothes? I’ll compensate you for how much silver it costs.” The young girl looked at the Snow Fox and gave a slight snort.

“I’ve not lacked in silver. If you call me Elder Sister, then you won’t need to pay for my clothes as to the Snow Fox. How about it?”

“Hmph, I am not calling you Elder Sister, and you should be the one calling me that. I am the Fifth Miss in residence, Su You, and am older than you by three months!” As Su You finished speaking, her eyes swept over to Mu Yunyao from time to time, “As a younger sister, you should respect your older sister. So, don’t make it difficult for that fox.”

Seeing Su You’s expression, Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but have the thought of teasing her and purposely put on a sad appearance: “As an older sister, you want to make things difficult for your younger sister? My clothes have been cut by this fox. I might not even have clothes to wear anymore, yet you don’t want me to make things difficult for it?”

“You …” Su You seemed to be shocked by her appearance and couldn’t help but take half a step behind before quickly walking back, “I didn’t say I’m not going to compensate you. Why are you crying? The girl’s crying is the most annoying thing. When I come back, I will ask my mother to send me a dozen sets of clothes, and you can wear them in turns.”

Mu Yunyao suddenly laughed and blinked at Su You. She didn’t look sad at all, “Then I’ll thank Elder Sister.”

Su You was stunned for a moment and then realized that she had been tricked. She couldn’t help but glare at Mu Yunyao, but she didn’t say anything else. She then turned around and left with her people.

Mu Yunyao couldn’t hold back her laughter.

After Su Qing heard the commotion, she walked out. She then saw Su You leading her people away from the door, “Who just came here??”

“She is Second Aunt’s daughter. The Fifth Miss of the residence, Elder Sister Su You.”

“Su You? I heard that she was not in good health. She was often ill and couldn’t get out of the house. Why did she come, and why didn’t you ask her to stay longer?”

“Although the weather is clear today, it’s windy. Elder Sisters’ body isn’t in good health. If she were to sit here for a while, she would definitely have a fever when she comes back, which will make Second Aunt worried.”

After hearing that, Su Qing couldn’t help but sigh, “How could she be so ill? That child is also a pitiful person. Yao’er, you also know medicine. Can her disease be cured?”

Mu Yunyao’s smile faded. Actually, in her previous life, she had never met Su You, but she had heard that there was such a sickly young miss in the second house. Usually, she would be blown down by the wind or get sick from the rain, and she had to call the doctor if there is a slight change in the weather. Later, Su You died of illness, which made the second house of the Su family depressed for a long time.

In this life, Mu Yunyao initially thought that she wouldn’t have any contact with Su You. But she didn’t expect that she would actually come to Jiyue Pavilion.

“I just met her in a hurry, so I couldn’t tell how many problems there were. The Second Aunt has always asked the imperial physician to treat her. With the imperial physician’s medical skills, it shouldn’t be a problem.”

“True.” Su Qing also did not want to reveal Yunyao’s knowledge of medicine because of Su You. Besides, with so many imperial physicians who could do nothing about it, Yunyao probably would not be able to do anything either.

Jin Qiao walked in with a face full of joy. “Miss, your servant has left the residence today to investigate. The news of how Jingling City gave back to the people has already spread throughout the Capital. Everyone is praising Miss for her kindness!”

Mu Yunyao smiled, “After spending so much effort, I finally managed to get some rewards. How’s the arrangement on Liu Liang?”

“Liu Liang has already selected a place, and it was initially an embroidery workshop. The location is good, but the price requested is a bit expensive. Now they are still talking about it. I think we will have good news soon.”

Mu Yunyao nodded. “That’s good. I should open Ni Yun Fang in the Capital earlier. Not to mention anything else, it would be more convenient for me to dress.”

Su Qing stretched out her hand and pointed at the space between her eyebrows, then said, “Look at how many clothes there are in your closet, but you still want to wear clothes with all your heart. There are so many clothes in your closet that you haven’t even touched them yet!”

“Yes, Mother has taught me a lesson. Later, I will take out all of those clothes and wear them next to each other.”

“You naughty girl, stop playing around with the ginseng. You are actually looking down on good things. Jin Lan, you put these medicine materials away and let the Snow Fox take them away later.”

Mu Yunyao casually threw the ginseng in her hand back into the tray. “Find a box and carefully place it inside. Who knows, it might still be useful in the future.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Su You had been fuming ever since she returned to the West Courtyard. When Second Madam saw her like this, she couldn’t help but be curious, “Didn’t you go out for a stroll? Why are you back so quickly?”

“I’m already out of breath from the tour, so what’s the point of staying outside?”

The Second Madam’s eyes turned cold when she heard this. “Who gave you such a hard time? Tell your mother. Mother will definitely get it back for you!”

Su You pursed her lips, coldly snorting to herself, “Mother, in a while, go and find a few satins and silks. I want to make some clothes.”

Su You rarely asked for things of her own accord, as the Second Madam helped her arrange the clothes and jewelry. She wears whatever she gives and never talks about it even if she feels uncomfortable. Such temperament has often caused the Second Madam to have a headache. However, today she took the initiative to make clothes, which makes the Second Madam couldn’t help to feel both surprised and happy. “What kind of clothes do you want me to make? Do you want to have good patterns and colors? Your skin is white, so Mother thinks that red is perfect for you.”

Su You was still fuming when she heard this, and her tone sounded very awkward. “Merely find me some white, blue, and light purple ones. I don’t want those big red or green ones. That little girl can’t wear those festive colors right now.”

The Second Madam was stunned. “What little girl are you talking about?”

Su You’s voice unconsciously rose as if she had been stepped on, “Isn’t that Mu Yunyao is younger than me, then she’s just the little girl? Cough cough …” Perhaps she was too anxious and couldn’t stop coughing.

The Second Madam hurriedly stepped forward to help her caress her back: “Yes, yes, she is indeed a little girl, but how did she provoke you?”

After Su You finished coughing, she did not throw a tantrum like usual, but she instead snorted coldly and explained, “I am her elder sister, and I am just letting her win. She is an inexperienced person and doesn’t even have a single piece of clothing to wear. No, I only feel distressed to death by a snow fox cutting a few clothes. I only look at her pitifully and reward her for some clothes to wear.”

The Second Madam clenched her fist abruptly, nodded, and said, “You’re right. Yunyao is indeed really pitiful. She has been living outside for many years. She just arrived in this family and was slapped by the arrogant and domineering Meng Yanran with an excuse. Now her face is still bruised!”

Su You frowned: “That girl is useless. I will definitely teach her the rules someday.” Looking at her sharp teeth, she didn’t expect to be inadequate and would be bullied. Didn’t even know that it was making things up to protect themselves?

~ SISTERHOOD ~ 

The Eldest Madam didn’t mean much to blame. She patted her hand with a smile: “Your father is also very optimistic about His Highness Third Prince, but now that His Majesty’s health is in good health and the situation of the court is unclear, there are many things that cannot be easily said. Mother has painstakingly hidden you for so many years, so it is time for you to amaze everyone.”

Su Yuyi’s eyes flashed with excitement. “Mother, do you mean that the time has come?”

Everyone in the Capital knew that the Su family’s eldest daughter, Su Yuyi, was talented and attractive, but very few people were really able to see her. The Eldest Madam had put in a lot of effort for her daughter. She knew that her appearance was a powerful weapon, but such a weapon must be displayed at the most appropriate time to come out to be invincible. It was just like a priceless Luminous Pearl that could only be found once in a hundred years. If one were to spend the entire day in a room with it, no matter how valuable it was, it wouldn’t be precious again.

Things were precious when they were rare, and beauties were too!

The Eldest Madam nodded slightly. “I was thinking of letting you appear after the situation has been resolved, but who knew that Princess Yi De would suddenly spread the word that she wanted to find a suitable girl to be fostered in the name of her lost daughter. It is a rare occurrence. Naturally, we cannot miss out on such a good opportunity.”

“Don’t worry, Mother. I will live up to your expectations.”

“Good.”

The next morning, Mu Yunyao, who had just finished her breakfast with Su Qing, heard Jin Lan’s report. “Madam, Miss, Eldest Miss is here.”

The mother and daughter looked at each other. Mu Yunyao smiled slightly and said, “Mother, I’ll personally welcome my elder sister.”

“Alright.”

Su Yuyi had already prepared herself for Mu Yunyao to make things difficult for her. However, she didn’t expect that the moment she stood in the courtyard, she would see Mu Yunyao with a smile on her face coming out: “Greetings, Elder Sister.”

“Little Sister Yunyao quickly gets up.” Su Yuyi carefully examined Mu Yunyao’s face, her eyes filled with concern, “The wounds on your face seem to have lightened a bit compared to yesterday. How’s the injury on your body? Does it still hurts badly?”

“It’s just that I’ve been beaten twice. Because I have been weak since I was young, I can’t withstand it. That’s why it looks a little more serious. If it placed on ordinary people, I presume it wouldn’t be much of a problem.”

“Little sister is very delicate. In the future, you must take extra care to recuperate, so I have prepared some medicinal materials to apologize to Little sister.” As Su Yuyi spoke, her eyes filled with sadness. Her long eyelashes reflected the sunlight on her flawless cheeks. She looked as beautiful as a fairy. “At that time, I did not make a decision immediately and believed too much in Yanran’s words. I misunderstood you and caused you to be slapped. Not only did you receive a slap, you even received two planks. I am truly sorry …”

Mu Yunyao smiled. “Elder Sister is right, you didn’t know about this matter from the beginning to the end, so naturally, you can’t be blamed. Who would have thought that a noble girl like Miss Meng would actually condescend to use such a despicable method to frame me?”

“It’s good that Little Sister isn’t angry. I hope that Little Sister can take these medicine materials. It can help you to recuperate and get better.”

“Then I will not be polite with Elder Sister. Thank you very much, Elder Sister.”

“You and I are good sisters, so there’s no need to be polite.” Su Yuyi smiles, just like a peony in full bloom. “Today, in addition to apologizing to Little Sister, I also want to ask if you have any guests that would like to be invited. Mother is preparing a banquet to welcome Aunt and you, and the invitation will be sent out in the afternoon.”

“When Mother and I didn’t know many people when we first came in the Capital. We were only sending an invitation to the inspector general’s office to Lord Cao. There is no need for anything else.”

“Alright, I’ll tell Mother when I came back and asked her to draft up the invitation and send it over as soon as possible. You’ve only been in the Capital for a short while, so you don’t know many people. However, you will slowly get familiar with them after a few more banquets. If I receive any invitations in the future, I will definitely invite you to go with me.” Su Yuyi intimately pulled on Mu Yunyao with a smile that like the bright and shining morning glow.

Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but sigh in her heart. No wonder Su Yuyi had walked so smoothly in her previous life and had such an appearance, even in the Nine Heavens Dragon Gate, there would still be people lying on the ground, doing their best to protect her. They would desperately send her straight into the sky, and they would even have to sacrifice everything in exchange for her smile.…

“Thank you, Elder Sister.”

After showing her good intentions, Su Yuyi led her servants and left in a mighty manner. Mu Yunyao stood in the courtyard looking at her back, and the corners of her lips revealed a mocking smile.

Back then, she wasn’t loved by the Old Madam. When she was struggling in the Su family’s backyard, this young miss had walked over with such a smile and affectionately held her hands as she spoke about their sisterhood. Who could have thought that behind her words that kept talking about sisterhood, there was a poisoned sword.

Su Yuyi had torn off her hypocritical face just because she had unintentionally gotten a compliment from the Third Prince. One poison sword after another had pierced down, almost taking her life.

The love between sisters was deep, but in reality, it wasn’t really worth a damn.

Mu Yunyao gathered her thoughts. Seeing the medicinal materials in Jin Lan and Jin Qiao’s hands, she made them put the herb into the pavilion beside the lotus pond. She casually picked up plump ginseng and dragged it on the table.

The Snow Fox jumped over. Seeing Mu Yunyao’s actions, it slightly lowered its body and shook its ears as if it was making threatening noises at the ginseng as if it was treating it as its prey.

Mu Yunyao chuckled and took the ginseng to tease the Snow Fox while watching her bounce around on the table. Just as she thought this was interesting, he suddenly heard a somewhat arrogant voice in her ear. “What are you doing?”

Mu Yunyao stopped her actions and looked over. She saw a young girl with eyes full of arrogance.

The girl was not tall and was very slender, even a bit weaker than her. Because she was so thin and frail, her eyes exceptionally looked big. She slightly raised her eyebrows, looking over with a wild and untamed gaze, as well as hidden a bit of curiosity.

Mu Yunyao slightly tilted her head, leaned on the table, and supported it with one hand. The snow fox climbed up her other arm, crouched on top of her shoulder, and stared at the girl. “Who are you? How come I’ve never seen you before?”

The young girl’s gaze swept back and forth between Mu Yunyao and the Snow Fox. She pursed her lips slightly, the arrogance in her eyes becoming even more intense. “You should call me Elder Sister!”

“Nonsense, you’re not even taller than me, and you’re also much skinnier than me. You should be the one calling me Elder Sister!” Mu Yunyao chuckled. The Snow Fox on her shoulder also rolled away and almost fell to the ground.

The young girl’s eyes widened, and she almost cried out when she saw the Snow Fox falling down. Fortunately, the Snow Fox was smart and agile, so it stretched out her paws to grab Mu Yunyao’s clothes, but it accidentally left a scratch on the beautifully embroidered fabrics.

Mu Yunyao reached out and took the back of the Snow Fox’s neck and put it on the table: “You’ve damaged my clothes. Think about how to compensate. If you can’t afford it, I’ll take off your fur to make a collar.”

NB: Sorry, I couldn't update yesterday, so today I will upload 2 chapters. Happy reading.

~ BORROW MU YUNYAO’S INFLUENCE ~ 

“Shut up!” The Eldest Madam looked over with a fierce gaze and muttered to Su Yuyi, “Didn’t Mother tell you? You had to be careful even when you were at home. What chills is not chilling. Putting in a nice word, he’s a minister. But in reality, he is just a slave raised by the Emperor. If the slave dared to intervene in the affairs of the master, it was already a great favor for the Emperor to not let his hand be chopped off. Your grandfather was good at everything, but he was too easily provoked.”

“Grandfather was also very anxious. For all these years, Imperial Concubine De’s had served the Emperor. She could be described as a sacred favorite. Who would have thought that she would never have a child? If not, my grandfather’s family would not be in such a predicament.”

“Alright, these things have already become a foregone conclusion. Now that there’s no way to change it, there’s no point in talking about it.” The Eldest Madam raised a hand to rub her forehead and frowning fiercely. “Get someone to call your elder brother over. He previously warned me not to underestimate Mu Yunyao, but I didn’t take it to heart at the time. Now it seems like he should know something.”

“Yes, Daughter will have someone to invite Elder Brother now.”

Su Qingwu came over soon: “Greetings, Mother.”

“Get up and sit down. Have you finished dinner?”

Su Qingwu nodded. “I’ve already finished. But I can see that the food on the table hasn’t been touched yet. Is Mother unable to eat them?”

The Eldest Madam’s face was full of worry, but she didn’t say anything and only shook her head slightly.

Su Yuyi, who was standing at the side, said, “Elder Brother, you saw it too. Today, Mother’s face was torn off and stepped onto the ground by Mu Yunyao. How could she still be in the mood to eat?”

“Mother, I just received news that the reason the Emperor summoned Mu Yunyao is that she took the lead in donating one hundred thousand taels of silver in Jingling City.”

“How much did you say? One hundred thousand taels?” The Eldest Madam sat up straight with a fierce look in her eyes. “I heard Liu Mama and the rest say had said before that Mu Yunyao had taken the lead in donating silver in Jingling City. She also said that Mu Yunyao had bought food to feed the people of Jingling City. Doesn’t it mean that t that the local gentry and rich families in Jingling City had donated most of the silver?”

“It’s likely that Liu Mama and the rest who don’t understand the truth.” When the Eldest Madam thought about it, she came to an understanding and fiercely slapped the table. “I understand. It must be Mu Yunyao’s scheme! Our Su family and the Li family have always been at loggerheads with each other. Li Munian is also an official in Jingling City. When Mu Yunyao wants to do something about it, it would be easy for her to deceive several servants. She must have purposely let Liu Mama and the others think that she just spent a little bit of silver, so when the servants sent the news over, I only listened for a bit and didn’t take it to heart. In fact, this is the day she was waiting for!”

Su Qingwu’s expression was calm, but his heart was pounding. “Mother, in the end, those underlings only have limited vision. Many things can’t be seen in the long run, so there will inevitably be some errors when they are reported. Today, the Emperor rewarded Mu Yunyao, and tomorrow her good reputation would spread throughout the entire Capital.”

Su Yuyi’s face turned ugly, “A hundred thousand silver taels, that Mu Yunyao is really willing to give it up.”

The Eldest Madam thought for a moment and asked, “The opening of Bi Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo only took a little more than a year, yet she has already earned that much silver?”

“You might not know about the other, Mothers. But you should remember the Spring Embroidery Workshop? Back then, the Spring Embroidery Workshop (Chun Xiu Fang) had Cai Yue Pavilion as its opponent, and it was still gaining gold every day. What’s more, Ni Yun Fang was a one-of-a-kind place, and none of the other shop and restaurant dared to try their luck, especially Bu Xian Luo.”

The Eldest Madam gently folded her fingers as if she wants to hold something in her hand: “Yuyi, you’re in the wrong regarding what happened that day. Tomorrow, you’ll bring a gift to your Cousin Yunyao to apologize.”

“Yes. I know, Mother.” Su Yuyi hesitated for a moment, but she still agreed.

The Eldest Madam raised her hand and caressed her hair. With a pained expression, she said, “I know that you must have felt wrong to let you bow your head to that country bumpkin, and it would definitely be unfair to you. But for the sake of your future, you must do this! Tomorrow, even if Mu Yunyao were to make things difficult for you in front of others, you have to bear with it. My daughter must be gentle and kind, understand?”

“Mother, you want me to use Mu Yunyao’s influence to spread my name?” Su Yuyi asked in a testing manner.

“That’s right. Your elder brother said just now that tomorrow, Mu Yunyao’s reputation will spread throughout the Capital. It’s the perfect time for you to take advantage of the wind to push yourself up.” The Eldest Madam’s dim eyes finally revealed a smile. She would come and take care of her after she was done using her power.

Su Yuyi nodded. The unwillingness in her eyes slowly disappeared and was replaced with a kind smile. Under the light of the candle flame, a trace of light could be seen in her beautiful eyes. It was like the bright moonlight, reflected on a Chinese osmanthus flower, captivating the soul with her mesmerizing beauty. “Mother, don’t worry. I know what I should do.

The Eldest Madam raised her lips, “Mother knows that you are unwilling, but it is worth it to be able to stand out in the Mid-Autumn Festival. No matter how much you handle, it is worthwhile. There is also one more thing, Mu Yunyao’s reputation will spread throughout the Capital, and at the same time, Meng Yanran’s name will become extremely bad. So, don’t associate with her in the future.

“Yes, Daughter understands.”

“Qingwu,” the Eldest Madam looked at Su Qingwu, “You and the Third Prince have a very great relationship, and the Third Prince can speak with the Grand Princess. Now that the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet is approaching, you should help out a bit more.”

“Mother, Grand Princess Yi De is not an ordinary person. She was able to accompany the Emperor on his journey from an unknown prince to an overlord. Her scope of vision could not be compared to ordinary people. If you truly wish to push my sister to the front of the Grand Princess, then don’t do too much, or it will backfire.”

The Eldest Madam thought for a moment and wrinkled her forehead, “I naturally know about what you have said. However, if she can’t stand out among so many noble young ladies in the Capital, how could Grand Princess Yi De pay attention to Yuyi?”

“With my little sister’s appearance, just sitting there without saying or doing anything is enough to amaze everyone.”

Hearing Su Qingwu’s praise, the smile in Su Yuyi’s eyes intensified. “Elder Brother, I’ve heard you talk about the Third Prince several times. I wonder what the other person is like?”

“His personality is firm and resolute, and his visions are much wider than ordinary people. In the end, he has been raised up by Grand Princess Yi De herself for a period of time. Many thoughts and insights that he had expressed were extremely admirable.”

Su Yuyi couldn’t help but sigh. “Not many people can get my Elder Brother’s praise. If only I had the chance to meet this third prince.”

The Eldest Madam turned around and looked at her reproachfully, “Yuyi, is that really something you can say?”

“Mother.” Su Yuyi hurriedly stepped forward and took the Eldest Madam’s arm, “I was only casually saying it. Who told let Elder Brother praise the Third Prince so highly?”

Incurable Chapter 20 Part 3

Huai Jing leaned her body back, stretched his slender legs, supported his arms on the sign behind, looked at Liu Qianxiu, and said: “I heard from Xu Xingkong that a woman came with you yesterday. Don’t you want to introduce her?”

Huai Jing’s introduction refers to Liu Qianxiu taking her to a meal with other friends, which was how Xu XingKong was introduced.

Standing up from his seat, Liu Qianxiu glanced at Huai Jing, who looked at him quietly. He was silent for a while, seeming to be thinking, and after a while, he said. “We’ll talk about it later.”

“Alright.”

After Liu Qianxiu had said that, Huai Jing didn’t ask anymore. It was how they got along. If there was anything to say, he would naturally say it. But if he didn’t, they didn’t need to know now.

Liu Qianxiu went to the stadium’s locker room to shower. After changing his clothes, he drove back to the Nanfeng Apartment. When Mu Wan sent a text message, he said he had gone home, and it was almost time to arrive.

His car was parked in the underground garage. Liu Qianxiu got out of the car with a sports backpack and a basketball, entered the elevator, and swiped the card. The elevator went up to the first floor and stopped when it reached the first floor.

As soon as the elevator door opened, Mu Wan stood outside.

She was looking at the multimedia advertisement next to the elevator. After hearing the sound of the elevator, she glanced in and saw Liu Qianxiu inside, her eyes bent.

Liu Qianxiu’s clothes today are sporty and casual, with a white T-shirt and black shorts. The simplicity is exquisite and expensive. He has white skin and is tall. He dressed like a male model on the show, with a simple suit of clothes.

He carried a black sports backpack on his left shoulder and a basketball in his right hand. He has a large palm and can hold the basketball with one hand. His fingers are slightly bent, his joints well-proportioned, and he looks slender.

Mu Wan once didn’t understand why so many girls liked boys playing basketball in high school, but she understands a little now. As long as you love that person, he is handsome in everything he does and makes your heart beat faster.

“Is this your basketball?” Mu Wan’s eyes jumped, and her gaze fell on the basketball in Liu Qianxiu’s hand.

“Yeah.” Liu Qianxiu replied.

Mu Wan looked at the light brown basketball and asked, “Can you let me try it? I’ve never played basketball before.”

It’s only five o’clock anyway, and she is not in a hurry to eat. It just rained in the morning, and now the rain has stopped, and the air is cool, quite suitable for playing basketball.

After Mu Wan finished speaking, she glanced at Liu Qianxiu, who had some requests in his eyes.

The elevator door was about to close because it had been open for a long time. When the elevator door moved, Liu Qianxiu held the door with his right hand and said as he walked out, “Let’s go.”

Mu Wan laughed, jumped slightly behind Liu Qianxiu, and happily followed him.

Nanfeng Apartment has a peculiar basketball court, and the sports venues in the high-end community are also very neatly constructed. The basketball court is next to the tennis court, surrounded by a layer of iron net.

The morning rain has not fully evaporated, and the surface of the basketball court is wet, but there’s no water left. At this point, the basketball court was empty, and two people entered through the door.

Mu Wan walked into the basketball court under the hoop and glanced at the high-up basket. She raised her hand a moment. Her white arm was far from the basket, but Mu Wan felt she had great athletic ability. She retracted her arm and said to Liu Qianxiu, who stood outside the three-point line: “Liu Qianxiu, I want the ball.”

After the rain, the soft female voice echoed on the court.

Liu Qianxiu threw the ball in his hand, which rolled to Mu Wan’s feet.

The sky was covered with thin clouds, and the air was wet and clean. On the vacant basketball court, a slender woman picked up a basketball, stood beside the blue basketball hoop, held it with both hands, aimed it at the basket, and threw it over.

With a “bang” sound, the light brown basketball hit the basketball board and fell off.

Mu Wan was not discouraged when she didn’t take a shot for the first time. She picked up the basketball and shook it twice at the basketball basket. Then, with both her arms, she threw the ball in again.

This time, it only touched the edge of the basket.

The light brown ball crossed a line in the clean air and finally bounced and fell behind her. She turned her head back, frowned her eyebrows, and panted lightly. Her lips were slightly open, moist, and bright red.

“Liu Qianxiu, I can’t get in.” Her voice was sweet, like ripe berries. She walked towards the basketball with her legs and said, “Can you throw it in?”

The ball rolled to Liu Quanxiu’s feet. He stood outside the white line and glanced at her calmly. He bent down slightly and grabbed the ball with one hand; the force made his knuckles a little white.

Mu Wan stood in the middle of the court, looked up at him, and asked uncertainly: “You stand so far. Can you throw in?”

Liu Qianzxiu has yet to respond to her. He put the basketball in his right hand, his wrist slightly bent back, and his dark eyes were like two bottomless springs in the moist air.

With the force of his wrist, the basketball broke away from his hand and flew over Mu Wan’s head. In an instant, Mu Wan turned her head back, and with a “bang” sound, the basketball went into the basket cleanly, just like Liu Qianxiu broke into her heart.

The basketball bounced on the ground, slapped against the clean area, and “banging” echoed on the empty basketball court.

Mu Wan’s eyes jumped on the light brown basketball, and when the basketball fell to the backboard, the court fell silent. She stared at it for a long while, then looked back at Liu Qianxiu. Under the dark clouds, the man was tall and leggy, and his eyes were as clean as water.

“Liu Qianxiu... Are you my god?” Mu Wan tilted her head to ask him, her eyes filled with bright stars. Then she smiled and said, “You seem to be able to do everything I can’t do.”

The sky is high, the clouds are thin, the wind is blowing the leaves, and some people’s hearts are trembling.

“I want to throw in too.” Mu Wan finished speaking, turned around, and trotted to pick up the basketball.m Her thin white fingers covered the sphere, while the roots were distinct, sharp, and beautiful. She took two steps back and got under the edge. She was hugged from behind just before she was about to throw the ball.

Mu Wan smelled the light mint fragrance, and her jaw trembled slightly.

Her body was gradually rising. Insight, the basket was getting closer to her as if it was within reach.

“Go ahead.” Liu Qianxiu said quietly behind her.

Her gods have come to help her.

The author has something to say: 

Liu Daochang: In order for you to become a god, or not.

Incurable Chapter 20 Part 2

Mu Wan had no schedule this weekend, so she slept until ten o’clock in the morning and called Lin Wei. Lin Wei answered, “Hi.” and asked, “Why do you have time to call me? Didn’t you accompany Liu Daochang?”

“I’ll go to him in the afternoon.” Mu Wan said, “He can’t be tired of me all day, or he will be annoyed.”

“Oh, you still know how to develop in a balanced way.”

“Don’t talk nonsense. Want you to eat hot pot or not?”

“Eat!”

“Go!”

The two made an appointment at the Sichuan Chongqing hot pot restaurant in the Jinze Building. It was still raining in the morning, and the weather was cold. There were many people in the well-decorated hot pot restaurant. After they arrived, the waiter showed Mu Wan and Lin Wei to the window seat. After sitting down, the two leaned against each other and began to order.

Holding a pencil, Mu Wan first sketched the bottom of the mandarin duck in the bottom of the pot.

The two of them have been friends for so many years. Because of their similar tastes, they have always enjoyed hot pot. Lin Wei looked at Mu Wan incredulously and said, “What do you want to eat?”

“I’ll have clear soup.” Mu Wan looked down and said, “I have become accustomed to the light flavor and can’t eat heavy flavors anymore.”

Lin Wei leaned back and looked at her.

Mu Wan squinted to meet her gaze and asked, “What are you doing?”

With a deep sigh, Lin Wei sighed and said, “You said you were going to seduce Liu Daochang. I didn’t see Daochang Liu stepping into the world of mortals, yet you are becoming increasingly indifferent. Don’t let you be influenced and become a fellow Taoist with Liu Daochang.”

The hot pot restaurant was bustling, and Mu Wan turned the pencil in her hand and said, “What’s wrong with a fellow Taoist? I will practice double cultivation with him if I become a fellow Taoist.”

Mu Wan didn’t speak very loudly. But after she finished speaking, the people at the neighboring table looked over.

Lin Wei’s expression was indescribable.

Mu Wan: “...What’s the matter?”

“Double cultivation does not mean that two people practice together, but it means... forget it, go back and check it yourself.”

“...”

Mu Wan didn’t wait to go back to check it. When the hot pot boiled, she searched for it. As soon as the interface came out, she opened the encyclopedia. The steam curled in the hot pot, and Mu Wan’s face was slightly hot.

Lin Wei bit the brown sugar glutinous rice cake. She watched Mu Wan’s face gradually turn red and laughed in her heart: this little chicken.

“Do you know what it means?” Lin Wei asked.

“I know.” Mu Wan drank the water and suppressed her dry anger. She told Lin Wei: “Different routes but have the same goal. Anyway, we still have to do double cultivation in the end.”

Lin Wei burst into laughter.

After the two laughed, Lin Wei seemed to think of something and said to her: “Hey, our studio recently took an order for Seaview Villa in South District. A house that is tens of millions.”

Lin Wei’s interior design studio specializes in high-end interior design, and clients are generally wealthy. However, this kind of order of tens of millions is still somewhat rare.

“Good thing.” Mu Wan also took a piece of glutinous rice cake and a bite. The sweetness made her soft. “The more expensive the house, the more money you earn.”

“Do you know who it belongs to?” When Lin Wei finished asking, she answered herself, “Mu Qing.”

Mu Wan raised her eyebrows after the bite.

When Mu Qing was in high school, she was in the same school as Lin Wei and Mu Wan. She also knew that the people in the Mu family were inseparable from the messy things. She snorted and said: “She took the initiative to find our studio. You said that after so many years, she has been hiding so well on the surface. How come she still can’t help but show off.”

Mu Qing knew Lin Wei was Mu Wan’s good friend, so she chose her studio.

“But the house’s signature doesn’t seem to be hers.” Lin Wei is an interior designer and knows a lot of people in real estate. She specifically checked it out. “It’s from Shen Cheng. They two are together?”

“Yeah.” Mu Wan said. “Mother Wu said that Shen Cheng had been to the Mu family’s house.”

“Yo.” Lin Wei Lin Wei had a strange yin and yang, “She can climb to the top.”

Somehow, Mu Wan felt Mu Qing was more than just showing off. She said to Lin Wei, “Have you already signed it?”

“Signed” Lin Wei raised her eyebrows. “There is nothing to be afraid of it. It’s just a house. At the worst is a breach of contract, but this old lady is a rich second generation.”

“Then, you can treat this meal today.” Mu Wan is a good friend.

Lin Wei: “...”

After having lunch with Lin Wei, the two strolled around the mall again. After she bought many clothes, Lin Wei sent Mu Wan back home. After getting home, Mu Wan bathed, collapsed on the bed because she was tired, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

When she woke up, it was four o’clock in the afternoon. Mu Wan sat cross-legged on the bed and sent a text message to Liu Qianxiu.

A basketball game finished, but there was still the sound of a basketball hitting the ground. The stadium was full of lights. Liu Qianxiu sat aside, looking up and drinking water.

He had just finished a game, sweating profusely. When he raised his head and drank water, beads of sweat ran down his Adam’s apple, which was refreshing and sexy after exercise.

The thin mineral water bottle wrapped in his slender hand is still in good condition. After drinking the water, Liu Qianxiu put the bottle aside, picked up his shirt, and wiped his sweat.

He has a thin body, but it is a firm figure. His white jersey lifted up. It revealed the tight muscle lines of his waist and abdomen, showing the impact of male hormones. However, his eyebrows are still light when the jersey is put down. Even after high-intensity exercise, his complexion is still cool and white, as if the body and spirit are separated without interfering.

After putting down the jersey, the mobile phone next to him rang. He stretched out his hand to take it, looked, put the phone away, and said to Huai Jing next to him: “I should go now.”

Huai Jing had just finished drinking water. His elbows rested on his knees, and he was sweaty. But he didn’t seem to be tired. His eyes were slightly loose. Hearing Liu Qianxiu’s words, he glanced at the time and asked: “What are you doing back so early?”

“Cooking.” Liu Qianxiu said.

Huai Jing: “...It’s only past four o’clock now.”

“Yeah.” Liu Qianxiu responded.

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 280

~ DO YOU LIKE YOUNG MASTER NING? ~ 

Mu Yunyao especially ordered two dishes for dinner. The kitchen didn’t dare to smuggle anything down, and the taste was also very delicious. Both mother and daughter pair ate very happily.

After the meal, Jin Lan and Jin Qiao brought some fragrant tea over. Both mother and daughter spoke to each other, “Yao’er, what happened in the Palace? How come the attitude of the Meng family and the Su family changed so much all of a sudden?”

Su Qing still had an unreal feeling, especially that Meng Yanran. Wasn’t she arrogant before? Why did she come to apologize today and ask Yunyao if she forgave her after getting slapped?

Mu Yunyao told Su Qing everything that had happened in the Palace today, thoughts running through her eyes, “... That is how I entered the Palace today roughly. In the beginning, the Emperor didn’t say anything, but later, when I was about to leave, he suddenly added a word that told me to fight back. When I got back, I thought about it. It must be something that the Meng family has done that has displeased the Emperor.”

“I think so too. After all, the Meng family is not the house of an ordinary official, and I’ve heard that the Imperial Concubine De is legitimate of Grand Preceptor Meng. Although she doesn’t have a son of her own and looks weak in the Palace, she can’t stand the favor of the Emperor, and she is in great limelight!”

Mu Yunyao was a little curious, “Where did Mother hear this from?”

“Si Qin told me.”

“Si Qin?”

Su Qing glanced at her reproachfully, “Although Mother grew up in the countryside and didn’t have much knowledge, I am not stupid. Not only did Si Qin and the other three girls have excellent skills, their manners and demeanor were also extraordinary. They definitely couldn’t have been bought from someone else by Liu Liang. Mother had thought about it carefully for a long time. The most likely outcome would be that these four girls were groomed by Young Master Ning.”

Mu Yunyao slightly pursed her lips. “I let Mother see that. I didn’t want to hide it from you at first, but I’m afraid that you won’t be able to trust these four girls in the future…”

“Yao’er, you … Are you really fallen for that Young Master Ning?” Su Qing felt that she should carefully plan things out. In another two months, Yunyao would come of age. They had no one to rely on, so they could not let the Su family interfere and ruin Yunyao’s second half of her life.

Mu Yunyao was stunned, then hurriedly shook her head. “Why would Mother think that? Me and him ... It’s absolutely impossible.”

Su Qing patted the back of her hand with a smile on her face. “Mother is also someone who has passed through the past. After some time, you will reach adulthood. It is not too early for you to think about your marriage. We’re also in the Capital now. Isn’t that Young Master Ning also here? If his background is not bad and he is interested in you as well. It just so happens that…”

Mu Yunyao quickly explained, “Mother, don’t let your imagination run wild. Young Master Ning and I are only working together to earn some silver. To put it nicely, we’re friends. To put it harshly, we’re just using each other.”

“Yao’er, your mother knows that because of the past, your mood is unavoidably heavy, but you can’t stop eating because of choking, you...”

“Mother, aren’t we talking about the Meng family? How did it come to that Young Master Ning? We are in the Su family now, and we can’t even stand firmly. How can we think about that? Besides, you see that Young Master Ning already in his early twenties! How old can you say the children are?”

“There aren’t children. I’ve asked around about it. Young Master Ning doesn’t even have a concubine to share a room with …”

“Mother, who did you ask about it from?” Had her mother misunderstood something and asked if Yue Wang had a concubine in his residence?

Su Qing coughed awkwardly, “I just chatted casually with Steward Qin and said a few words..”

Mu Yunyao was a little stunned. Steward Qin had avoided her several times when she met Yue Wang. Although his attitude wasn’t apparent, she could faintly feel the meaning of the matchmaking. When her mother and Steward Qin started to talk about this, who knew if Yue Wang turned around, how would he feel?

Su Qing looked at Mu Yunyao’s appearance and thought she was thin-skinned and embarrassed, so she tactfully changed the topic, “Yao’er, let’s talk about the Meng family. After today’s incident, I can see that Miss Meng’s gaze was really chilling when she left. She won’t come back to find faults in the future, right?”

Mu Yunyao came back to her senses, feeling that she was once again confused by Yue Wang, and she couldn’t help but feel a little annoyed, and she quickly put all her thoughts behind her: “Mother, don’t worry too much. Meng Yanran’s way of doing things is too overbearing. Even when treating her sisters in the family, she’s always bullied and spoiled them. Now that she suddenly lost her composure, how could those people she threatened easily let her go? There were also those ladies and concubines who only wished for their daughters to be pampered. Previously, when they were proud, they didn’t feel that it was right. However, when they were disappointed, they realized that they had made many enemies. What they should worry about is her.”

“Mn, then Mother is relieved now.”

However, Mu Yunyao understood that things would not end like this. Although she didn’t need to worry too much about Meng Yanran, the Meng Family would definitely hate her because of this, especially Imperial Concubine De in the Palace. Her heart has never been big. But these things haven’t happened yet, there was no need for her mother to worry about it, so there was no need to say anything else.

“The matter of the banquet has already been settled. I haven’t seen my adoptive mother for a long time. Speaking of which, I really miss her a bit.”

“That’s right. We can meet at the banquet.”

“Yes.”

Su Qing and Mu Yunyao chatted for a while before they both went back to rest.

However, the Eldest Madam was so angry that she couldn’t even eat a single mouthful in the room. Su Yuyi carefully sat on the side and said, “Mother, since it’s like this, there’s no point in thought too much. You’d better have something to eat.”

The Eldest Madam also understood this logic, but the more she thought about Mu Yunyao slapping Meng Yanran, the angrier she felt. She angrily threw the chopsticks in her hand away, “I’ve been beating geese all day. Who would’ve thought that the geese would peck back at their eyes?” Who would have thought that a girl from the countryside could act so arrogantly?”Mother, it’s all your daughter’s fault. If I hadn’t been so anxious to invite Cousin Yanran over, things wouldn’t have developed to this point.”

“I don’t blame you. Even if Meng Yanran didn’t get involved in this matter, Mu Yunyao would think of something else. She wanted to use this opportunity to establish her prestige in the Su family, from the master to the servants, so no one would dare to look down on her and Su Qing anymore!”

“Mother, your daughter really doesn’t understand. Why would the Emperor agree to let her beat up Cousin Yanran?”

“A few days ago, when checking the salt tax, the Li family met with trouble. Your grandfather also heard some provocations from somewhere and secretly attacked the First Prince. But not only did she not succeed, she instead stole the chicken and ate the rice, causing the First Prince to come to the Emperor and cry about how miserable he was. The Emperor dislikes party disputes the most, so it was inevitable that he had a grudge against the Meng family in his heart. This time, it is just a warning.”

“No matter what, my aunt has served the Emperor in the Palace for many years. The Meng family has also made a lot of contributions to the court. The Emperor’s move is really chilling!”
