Incurable Chapter 3 Part 2

Someone picked them up as soon as they got out of the elevator. Qing Songxuan was very big and decorated in Chinese style. Landscape paintings were on the wooden doors of the screen, and red lanterns hung high.

Qing Songxuan was split into four districts, and in the center was a pond. There was a pavilion on the pond with four bridges connecting it to the four areas. The environment was so elegant.

Director Zhang was in the North area. Mu Wan followed Mi Yu behind the waiter to the pavilion in the corridor of the North District.

Before turning into the North District, Mu Wan raised her eyes and swept the area, seeing a tall, straight back flashing through the corners of her eyes. She stopped unconsciously and took a closer look. The corridor on the east side was quiet and empty.

Mu Wan has been to Qingsongxuan several times and knows that the East District is only open to VIP customers. Even rich people may need help to go. She just thought that figure reminded her of Liu Qianxiu.

She knows his rear well. She saw it in the rearview mirror when she left after imitating a cat and meowed the last time.

But it must be a mistake. How could Liu Qianxiu come to eat in such a place?

When they arrived in the area, it was already a crowded house. As soon as Mi Yu entered the door, her originally taut face transformed into a blossoming flower.

Zhang Chengze was a second-rate TV drama director Mi Yu had worked with. The drama he is preparing now is said to be invested in by Shen’s Entertainment. It’s a firm project. Mi Yu came for the first female lead.

This room has around twenty actors, and everyone sits at a big table. Mu Wan glanced at them. Mi Yu can be considered the best player in this group.

She wanted to help Mi Yu toast and sat beside her, but Mu Wan had no seat. As soon as she arrived, she offered three glasses to the director.

After drinking, the venue became hot and busy. Mu Wan’s arms ached, her appetite was small, and she only ate two bites. Then she heard Director Zhang coldly snort and scold, “What’s great about Shen Entertainment? Without its investment, I still can make a film?”

Some producers and part-time workers agree with each other about it. Mu Wan noticed that Mi Yu’s face had changed. Shen Entertainment is top-notch in both artists and investment. Additionally, it dominates the entertainment sector as the most prominent company. They can still make TV dramas without investment, but their quality will reduce remarkably.

“The Shen family is just relying on the Liu family. Without the Liu family, they are nothing.” A producer beside her said a word after toasting Director Zhang with a glass of wine.

The venue was too big. This episode also provides the resources for discussion. Zhang Chengze is the leader of the circle. Mi Yu also had a group of actresses, and some crew members formed their own groups.

After helping Mi Yu toast Director Zhang with a few more drinks, Mi Yu went to answer her cell phone. Mu Wan leaned on her chair and heard the voices of several actresses who were still gossiping about the Shen family.

“The Shen family merely relies on the Liu family. Shen Yu’s older maternal cousin, Liu Qingyuan, is the eldest son of the Liu family and wields power in the Liu Family Corporation. However, the Liu family’s industry is large and has companies worldwide. The Liu family’s domestic company is just one of them. The head of the Liu family is in charge of all the companies. The head of the Liu family is Liu Qianxiu, the second son of the Liu family.”

Hearing Liu Qianxiu’s name, Mu Wan concentrates her energy subconsciously and looks back at the short-haired actress beside her.

“Liu Qianxiu and Liu Qingyuan have the same father but not the same mother. I heard that their relationship is not good. Liu Qianxiu’s father, Liu Fengmian, and his mother, Mei Wanyang, had a marriage contract. But, their father had an affair with Shen Yu’s aunt, Shen Chunxi. After Mei Wanyang gave birth to Liu Qianxiu, she learned that Shen Chunqi had given birth to Liu Qingyuan. Later, she was depressed and died of illness. Because of this, the Mei and the Liu family don’t have a good relationship.”

“Liu Fengmian brought Shen Chunqi and Liu Qingyuan back to the Liu family’s home, while Liu Qianxiu lived with the Liu family head, Mr. Liu. In the past few years, Mr. Liu was hospitalized with a critical illness. The Mei family took people to force the Emperor to abdicate (TN: idiom). Mr. Liu was willing to pass the family’s head position to Liu Qianxiu with only one condition: to let go of Liu Fengmian and Shen Chunqi’s family. Liu Fengmian and Liu Qingyuan are in charge of the Liu Family Corporation. In fact, they both work for Liu Qianxiu. Now Liu Qianxiu is the head of the Liu family and one of four young masters in Xiacheng.”

A few actresses listened to this. The affairs of powerful families are typically so stirring that several young stars are dumbfounded. Someone asked, “Young Master Liu’s mother could be said to have been forced to death by both her father and Madame Shen. Will he really let them go?”

“What do you mean?” The short-haired actress hummed, “I heard that Liu Fengmian sent Shen Chunqi to Australia after Liu Qianxiu took charge of the household. They should be afraid.”

Another asked, “What about Young Master Liu? Where is he now? Among the four Young Masters, he seems to be the most mysterious.”

“Yes, nobody knows where he is. He remains out of touch with the world and silently controls everything in the Liu family. Soon, it will be the old Master Liu’s third death anniversary. As the family head, he should appear, but I don’t know if the media will photograph him,” The off-shoulder actress said.

Several people chattered, and the topic shifted to the Four Young Masters of Xiacheng. Everyone had some hopes in their hearts. Even though they were not famous, having a beautiful face and marrying a wealthy family would be good.

As Mu Wan’s gradually recovered, she dropped her head slightly. Her mind seemed to be thick and impenetrable. She looked up and said to Mi Yu, “Sister Yu, I’ll go to the bathroom.”

The wine was almost finished. Mi Yu looked at her drooping left shoulder and said lightly. “Go ahead.”

Mu Wan washed her face in the bathroom. After washing, her head was still swarming with thoughts. Her face was hot and burning, like her left shoulder.

She remembers that after treating the wound in the morning, Liu Qianxiu told her not to drink, but she drank half a bottle in half an hour.

Pulling a paper towel, Mu Wan wiped the drops of water on her face and walked out of the bathroom.

The bathroom was at the end of the corridor, and no one was there. The room was soundproof, and the whole hallway was empty and quiet. Mu Wan leaned against the wall of the corridor. The delicate and cold tiles pressed on her back skin through the thin cloth made Mu Wan feel a little sober.

Her head is a little heavy. Mu Wan lowered her head and decided to stay here for a while.

The carpet on the ground was red, embroidered with red bamboo forests. Qing Songxuan is split into four areas: east, west, north, and south, with the theme decor plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum. The northern area’s theme was bamboo.

The quality of the carpet embroidery was magnificent. The red bamboo leaves are embroidered delicately with edges and corners, like the birthmark on Mu Wan’s chest.

She thinks it looks pretty.

A deep voice came to her mind. Mu Wan’s head buzzed, and she laughed softly.

As she laughed, a man appeared in front of Mu Wan. She lowered her head and could only see his lower body, which was tall and slender, with long legs.

In a trance, Mu Wan smelled a faint smell of disinfectant. She moved her eyes, raised her head, and saw the person before her.

Liu Qianxiu stood quietly in front of Mu Wan. The patient, who should have been in the observation ward, leaned against the wall to sober up. She wore a red dress, and her small white face was flushed like ripe berries. A pair of beautiful eyes that seemed to have been washed by rain was bright. When focusing, their pupils gradually shrank, like a demon cat.

She looked at him with her red lips curled up, and her eyes crinkled. Her voice was like wine brewed by bayberry, lazy, sexy, hoarse, sweet…!

”Meow~ Liu Daochang came to catch me!”

The author has something to say: 

Liu Daochang: It’s the little fairy who caught you.

Incurable Chapter 3 Part 1

Mu Wan went for an X-ray scan, and the result was that the glass did not pierce her heart or injure her internally, only skin trauma. But because Mu Wan’s wound was in such a dangerous place, she had to be hospitalized for observation.

Liu Qianxiu handled the wound for her, and after talking about the precautions, he went to other patients. The nurse sent Mu Wan to the Surgical Inpatient Department, and Lin Wei accompanied her to the ward. 

Yesterday, Mu Wan sat beside the patient’s bed. Now, Lin Wei sat beside her bed. 

As soon as Lin Wei sat down, her legs and arms folded. Her eyes sharply looked at Mu Wan as she said, “Did you and Liu Daochang know each other before?” 

Mu Wan leaned on the bed, the wound treated with anesthetics, so there was no pain but a little itchy. She moved her shoulders and said, “If I knew him before, could I not tell you?” 

Lin Wei still believed in her. But when she remembered Liu Qianxiu’s usual indifference and how he praised her for the beauty of her birthmark. Lin Wei felt it was incredible. She reached out, touched her chin, and asked, “Could it be that you forgot him?” 

Mu Wan said, “Is Liu Daochang’s kind of face easily forgotten?” 

No, Lin Wei can remember him forever from the first time she met him. 

“Then, he likes you.” Lin Wei rounded up in conclusion. “Liu Daochang is only interested in things he likes, and he praised you for your good-looking birthmark.” 

Mu Wan did not think so about Lin Wei’s blind analysis. She recalled Liu Qianxiu’s deep and clear eyes vividly in her mind. She said, “How can immortals be moved so easily? Maybe bamboo-leaf-shaped birthmarks are rare, or they are of special significance to Taoists. Taoists sometimes are very mysterious.” 

Compared with her, Mu Wan’s analysis seems more convincing. Lin Wei looked up at Mu Wan. Her face gradually recovered, not as pale as she had seen in the bathroom this morning. Mu Wan lives by herself and can only call her in an emergency. Fortunately, she didn’t injure her vital organs this time. Otherwise, even if the ambulance arrived early, it might be too late. 

Lin Wei was a little scared at this thought. She leaned back and said, “But when I did the hospitalization procedure for you, the little nurse said it was the first time she saw Doctor Liu praise someone. It means that you are special. You just met him yesterday, and when you were admitted to the emergency room today, Liu Daochang also treated you there. You two have a good fate. A doctor’s income is good. It’s about the same as your 18-line actress. You two are talented and beautiful, so you are well-matched.” 

Mu Wan listened to Lin Wei’s analysis. On rainy days, her legs always felt uncomfortable. She put one leg on the bed and said, “You’ll come up with our children’s names in a while.” 

Mu Wan was joking with a weak tone and a lack of interest. Lin Wei sighed in her heart and said, “Don’t tell me that you are going to spend your whole life alone?” 

Lin Wei and Mu Wan were high school friends. Lin Wei moved to Jiacheng for her college entrance examination. Her high school was in Xiacheng, and she had a class with Mu Wan. Mu Wan was beautiful, and the boys who chased her could fill a long line. But Mu Wan had never been in a relationship since graduating high school. 

After entering the university, she moved out of the Mu family. She was busy filming to earn tuition and living expenses, never discussing her relationship. She had never seen her father, and the Mu family treated her as an outsider. In fact, Mu Wan had already been living alone since her mother died. 

“It depends.” Mu Wan lived alone and had plenty of free time to think about life. As such, she had her own standards of life. “I can live comfortably alone. If there is someone who makes me live more comfortably, I would be willing to live with him.” 

“Then Liu Daochang is not bad.” Lin Wei saw a glimmer of hope. 

When Mu Wan saw this, she asked, “Are you afraid I will stick to you when I feel lonely, so you just want to push me out?” 

“Have you ever felt lonely?” Lin Wei scratched her head after asking. Her eyes were dark, and she said, “You really should have tried it with someone or have a cat. Then you will know you are not afraid of loneliness just because you are used to being alone.” 

Mu Wan knew Lin Wei was worried about her, but she didn’t want to be depressed about her life. She turned the topic aside and asked, “Do you have any clothes to wear here?” 

Looking at Mu Wan in the patient’s uniform, Lin Wei had not yet stepped out of her moody thoughts and asked, “Why?” 

“I have a dinner banquet tonight. I can’t get out wearing this.” Mu Wan said. 

Lin Wei’s face turned dark: “Do you want to die?” 

“It’s okay. I took a chest X-ray, and there’s nothing wrong. It’s just a skin injury.” Mu Wan said, “I didn’t go to a dinner banquet last time. I can’t miss it this time.” 

“Then you tell your agent that you are in the Emergency Room today and almost died. You can’t go to the dinner banquet.” Lin Wei said. 

“That won’t work. I received a notice this week. How can I pay my mortgage if I don’t shoot the movies?” Mu Wan said. 

Lin Wei: “…” 

Mu Wan did not wear Lin Wei’s clothes to the dinner banquet. She wore the patient’s uniform and went home. Then, she changed into a red cotton and linen dress. It was loose, so the dress would not stick to the wound. But at night, the anesthetic went away. Her left shoulder was useless, and she became powerless. 

Li Nan sent Mi Yu to the dinner banquet. As the most famous artist under his command, Li Nan followed Mi Yu’s journey almost all the way. She was thirty years old and well-maintained, but people could see her age due to wearing too much makeup and staying up late to shoot movies all year round. However, the age seen in celebrities differs from that of ordinary people. She looked only 26 or 27 years old but still beautiful. 

Seeing the two coming over, Mu Wan greeted and said, “Sister Yu. Big Boss.” 

Mi Yu wore sunglasses. She was popular and thus needed a little disguise when she came out. Hearing Mu Wan’s greeting, her eyes swept over her, and Mu Wan could not see her expression under her dark glasses. 

Li Nan found something wrong with Mu Wan’s left arm and asked, “What’s wrong with your arm?” 

“Suffered a little bit.” Mu Wan answered. 

“Okay.” Li Nan’s tone was flat. He looked at Mi Yu and told Mu Wan, “Mi Yu has a movie to shoot tonight. Director Zhang likes to drink, so you can help her toast a few more glasses at dinner later.” 

Mu Wan has participated in a dinner banquet like this and can drink a lot. There was nothing wrong with toasting a few rounds. Mi Yu can recommend some of the company’s resources to her after her auditions, and it was understandable that she helped her toast. 

“Okay. I understand.” Mu Wan said. 

After speaking, the elevator arrived in the lobby, and Mi Yu took the lead in getting on. Mu Wan followed up. The elevator door closed, and the two were silent. 

Mi Yu is the company’s most famous artist and her predecessor. She did not have a good temper and was a little arrogant. She also did not interact deeply with the other artists of the company. 

She remembers that when she signed with Xinzhou Entertainment, Mi Yu had already been there, and at that time, Mi Yu was in the limelight. But Mu Wan still felt her hostility towards her. 

This is the case in the entertainment industry, where young and good-looking actors will be 90% successful. However, Mu Wan was in the other 10 percent of that. Mi Yu gradually realized she was not ambitious in her career, so her hostility diminished.

~ THEN STARVE IT TO DEATH ~ 

 
Su Qing still had other things to do, so she instructed Mu Yunyao a few times before ordering her people to take away the cloak.

Mu Yunyao heaved a sigh of relief, and the smile on her face became lighter. She looked at the little fox coldly, then turned around and went to rest on the bed.

“Woo …” The cage was too small, and the Snow Fox was almost unable to turn around inside. Seeing that Mu Yunyao didn’t care about it, it stretched out its claws and clawed at the cage’s lock.

Mu Yunyao was annoyed by the noise. She got up and opened the cage’s door, then directly pinched the fur on the back of the fox’s neck and lifted it up. “If you’re honest, then I’ll raise you properly. If you are not honest, I will take your fur and pad your feet.”

Initially, Snow Fox already had a wild and untamed personality. At this moment, when Mu Yunyao picked him up, it extended its claws to scratch Mu Yunyao’s face.

Mu Yunyao frowned and stretched out her hand to grab the fox’s four claws. Just like before, she pinched the fox’s jaw. This time, without Su Qing around, she did not hold back and strangulate the Snow Fox so hard that the Snow Fox trembled all over.

Seeing that the fire almost has done burning, Mu Yunyao placed the Snow Fox on the table and extended her hand to touch its fur. “Do you want to follow me with delicious food, or just I skin you for a pad?”

The Snow Fox unable to understand her words completely, but it keenly felt the hostility within her speeches. It slightly trembled and let out a muffled cry. Its appearance made it look extremely obedient.

Mu Yunyao let out a cold laugh as she let go of its arms and stood to the side.

The Snow Fox jumped up from the table and ran out the window. Unfortunately, just as it reached the door, it was stopped by a pair of hands and brought directly to Mu Yunyao. “Mistress, do you want to tie it up?”

“Throw it into the cage over there. When it behaves itself, it will get fed again.”

“Yes, Mistress.”

On the second day, Jin Qiao saw the little fox on the table, and her eyes filled with surprise and joy. “Miss, is this a fox? It’s snow-white all over, but it’s extremely precious.”

The Snow Fox was hung outside for an entire night before being carried back to the room at dawn. At this time, it was both thirsty and hungry. Seeing that Jin Qiao reached out her hand, it bared its teeth as it wanted to bite her hand. Jin Qiao quickly retracted his fingers in fright.

After Mu Yunyao saw this, she smiled, “You have to be careful. This fox eats humans.”

“Miss is teasing this servant. How can a fox eats humans?”

“Even humans can eat people, let alone foxes.” After Mu Yunyao finished washing her face and rinsing her mouth, she walked over to the cage and looked at the Snow Fox within. “Have you thought about it?”

The Snow Fox arched its back and let out a threatening roar.

Mu Yunyao also didn’t mind. She turned her head and instructed Jin Lan and Jin Qiao, “Don’t give it food, and don’t feed it water.”

“Yes, Miss.”After Mu Yunyao finished her breakfast, she went to the greenhouse in Jin Xiu Garden. Today, the peony bud was slightly larger than before, and she can saw the color of the petals faintly. She carefully trimmed the yellowing leaves and placed them in a small basket at the side.

Footsteps were approaching at the door. Mu Yunyao did not need to turn her head to tell that it was the Yue Wang.“Why would Fourth Master be interested in admiring the flowers in the greenhouse?”

“What about that little fox? Can I find someone to help you tame it?”

“No need. It is hungry in my room right now. It’d be better off if It could get hungry for a meal or two.” Mu Yunyao said indifferently.

Yue Wang shook his head slightly. “Winter in Western Guangdong is longer than other places, and snakes hardly found in this season. The Snow foxes are very resistant to hunger. The hungrier they are, the more ferocious they become. Some would rather starve to death than compromise. It is too difficult to tame them.”

Mu Yunyao smiled, and her smile exceptionally sweet. “If I can’t tame it, then I’ll starve it to death. I don’t dare to keep the Snow Fox in my side if others can tame it. Who knows when it will be under the command of others?”

Was it actually for this reason? Yue Wang paused for a moment, then said no more. “I heard that Ni Yun Fang had oppressed by Cai Yue Pavilion. Now, it’s become a very lonely place.”

“That’s right. Otherwise, how would I have the time to look after the flowers here?”

“But from the looks of it, you don’t seem to be in a hurry?”

Mu Yunyao raised her head to look at Yue Wang. “Fourth Master, I won’t speak in secret. I presume you know better than me what kind of situation Cai Yue Pavilion is in right now?”

A look of helplessness flashed past Yue Wang’s eyes. He knew that his actions yesterday had angered her, which was why she was so hostile. Thus, he decided to keep quiet and watch her prune the flowers.

He didn’t have the time to look closely yesterday, so when he looked at the peony stalks again today, he felt something was amiss, “This is … A two-colored plant?”

“If Fourth Master likes it, I’ll bring you a pot when I’ve finished raising the flowers.” Mu Yunyao spoke ordinarily and sparsely as if she didn’t realize the value of peonies in front of her.

Yue Wang finally understood why Mu Yunyao had chosen to use peonies to direct her path. If the few peonies in front of her were to blossom successfully, it would become a treasure anywhere.

Jin Qiao walked in as they were talking. When she saw Yue Wang, she becomes somewhat hesitant. “Greetings, Master Ning. Greetings, Miss.” 

“What’s wrong?”

“Reporting to Miss, the owner of Cai Yue Pavilion, Tan Lin, has sent a card inviting Miss to meet at Bu Xian Luo.”

Mu Yunyao got up to see the invitation before tossing it into the basket full of dead leaves on the side. “You can go back now. Tell him that I’ve been sick these two days and that I’m not suitable for guests.”

“Yes, Miss.”

When Tan Lin heard Jin Qiao’s reply, a profound look flashed in his eyes. He turned around and boarded the carriage, returning to Cai Yue Pavilion. The shopkeeper of Cai Yue Pavilion hurriedly came over to welcome him. “Boss, you’ve come back. Why do you need to lower yourself to meet Mu Yunyao? Besides Lady Chen and Madam Zhou, who were close friends, no one else has come. At present, we had sent the beauty booklets of Our Cai Yue Pavilion to the various residences, and they also had returned the custom-made clothes posts. It won’t be long before Ni Yun Fang can’t hold on any longer.”

The Shopkeeper of Cai Yue Pavilion was quite pleased with himself. So what if Ni Yun Fang had a golden signboard that the Emperor had bestowed upon them? Wasn’t it the same? What about the fact that they couldn’t keep their heads up because Ci Yue Pavilion had run over them?

Tan Lin’s expression did not relax in the slightest, “Has you sent someone to take care of Young Master?”

“I had already sent someone to deliver some silver taels. Young master won’t be able to suffer there. After two days, I will secretly send someone to bring him back.”

Tan Lin nodded, “Don’t relax for the next few days. We must completely suppress Ni Yun Fang.”

“Boss, our Cai Yue Pavilion is quite prosperous. We naturally can’t be compared to Ni Yun Fang, but we are still missing a signboard. Didn’t the rumors say that the Emperor has to bestow the same upon our Cai Yue Pavilion? I wonder when this reward will come down?”

“I’ve already sent some people to the Capital to do some work, but some joints are really troublesome to get through. I still need to be patient and wait a bit more.”

However, while waiting, he got some bad news. First, Tan Bawang was killed by two prisoners when he clashed with others in the place of exile. Afterward, the matter of Cai Yue Pavilion sending people to bribe the officials exposed. For some reason, it had involved the officials of the upper echelons. The news spread like wildfire, and it directly reached the ears of the Emperor.

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 190

~ THE GIFT FROM YUE WANG ~ 

 
Yue Wang pulled back his arm, and his fingers started to twitch slightly. A solemn look flashed across his eyes: “I was rude.” 

Mu Yunyao’s thoughts fluctuated, so she didn’t want to stay any longer. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first....”

“Wait a minute,” For some reason, Yue Wang felt that he could not let her leave just like that, so he called out to her, “Would you like to see the gift I prepared for you?”

Mu Yunyao slightly bit the tip of her tongue, the piercing pain allowing her to regain her composure quickly. “I wonder what kind of gift it is?” If she continued to behave abnormally, Yue Wang would really think more. It would be better if she acted differently. It’s just that the heart is different in the end.

Yue Wang walked to the back of the table and brought out a small cage.

Mu Yunyao looked over and couldn’t help but widen her eyes, temporarily forgetting about the uneasiness in her heart.

In the wooden cage, a small snow-white animal curled up into a semicircle. Its broadtail covered its body, causing people to be unable to see it clearly. Yue Wang picked up the cage and shook it lightly, causing the small animals inside to become restless, unsettled, and stood up in dissatisfaction. Only then could Mu Yunyao see its appearance clearly: snow-white fur without a trace of other colors, a small body, a broad tail, two upright furry ears, with a hint of pink, and the little and exquisite nose tip makes people feel so cute and adorable

“This is....” Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but take two steps forward. The little thing inside stuck its nose out of the cage along with its two front paws. It pitifully raised its head and let out two whimpers.

Mu Yunyao was amused by it and couldn’t help but reach out to touch its front paw. Just as she was about to touch it, Yue Wang suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand back.

Initially, inside the cage was a cute and well-behaved animal. Now, when it had missed its target, it was baring its fangs, and the fur on its tail was upside-down. It looked extremely ferocious.

Mu Yunyao looked at the front paws that had extended out from its claws. They were actually incomparably sharp. If she were to be touched, her skin and flesh would inevitably split open.

“Be careful. It is a Snow Fox from Western Guangdong. It is crafty and loves to deceive people.” Yue Wang quietly warned from the side.

Mu Yunyao’s interest, piqued by the Snow Fox in the cage, and her eyes lit up slightly. “Her appearance is exceptionally exquisite and cute, but her temperament still needs to be sharpened.”

“Snow Fox is a wild and untamed fox, but once tamed, it will be extremely loyal to its Master. Furthermore, the Snow Fox in Western Guangdong is good at taking poisonous snakes as food, so the Snow Fox teeth and claws deadly. If an ordinary person gets bitten by it, they would likely lose their life. Therefore, Therefore, we should be expressly careful when touching them.” 

Mu Yunyao looked at the Snow Fox in the cage. It was leaning on the edge and was staring at its surroundings with caution. Its small ears continuously trembled, and it seemed to be exceptionally alert. “How can I tame it?”

“The Snow Fox in Western Guangdong is quite intelligent, and each Snow Fox has a distinct personality. Naturally, the way to tame them is different too, but in general, it is to make Snow Fox afraid. Once the Snow Fox was afraid of you, it will not dare to have thoughts of killing its Master, and if you treat it a little better, you will be able to tame it.”

“Is this the gift that Fourth Master gave me?”

“Mm. If you like it, I’ll get someone to help you tame it. In the future, It can also protect you as well.”

“No need.” Mu Yunyao looked at the Snow Fox with interest. “Since it’s a gift from Fourth Master, then I’ll naturally tame it myself.” When she saw the Snow Fox, she thought of the blue-eyed ferret raised by the elder sister of the Su family. It said that when Su Qingwu went to the Southern Mountains, he had spent over ten days to catch the Snow Ferret. The Young Miss of the Su Family had treated it as a treasure, and if she brought the Snow Fox over, it would be as simple as taking a fox or a ferret. In the end, who can take advantage of it?

“But....” Yue Wang was a little worried. The snow fox in Western Guangdong was not like the fox in other places. In case it hurt her....!

However, Mu Yunyao had already walked up to the Snow Fox’s cage and lifted it up. After that, she directly bowed to Yue Wang. “Thank you, Fourth Master. I’ll be taking my present now. Goodbye.” Along the way, Mu Yunyao had looked at the Snow Fox several times, her eyes full of excitement. When they were back at home, she suddenly felt that something wasn’t right and was thinking about it carefully when she saw Su Qing walking out. She quickly held the Snow Fox and said, “Mother, quickly look, how about this little fox?”

Su Qing glanced at the Snow Fox in the cage before shifting her gaze back to Mu Yunyao. Her expression was especially solemn as she said, “Yao’er, you … Come in with me quickly!”

Mu Yunyao stared blankly for a moment before slightly lowering her head. Then, she felt vexed in her heart. Just now, she only cared about the fox in the cage. She actually forgot about the cloak on her body!

Su Qing’s expression was solemn as she brought Mu Yunyao back to the backyard. She then asked, “what’s the matter with the cloak you’re wearing?” Mu Yunyao hurriedly took off her cloak and put it aside with the fox cage. Her face was full of pure smiles. “The clothes I wore in the greenhouse earlier were too thin. Later, I met with Fourth Master Ning. It wasn’t convenient for me to change my clothes back when we went to get that little fox. He saw that I was wearing too little clothes. Lend me the cloak to use.”

Seeing that Mu Yunyao did not seem to care at all, Su Qing felt that her breath was stuck in her chest, “You little girl, normally you look smart and sharp, but now you’re acting so stupid? Can you use this cloak as you wish?” If it’s just a woman, it would have been fine. But the other one was Fourth Master Ning!

Mu Yunyao was still puzzled. “At that time, Fourth Master Ning was present, so it wouldn’t have been appropriate for me to change my clothes. But since I was wearing this dress, I would probably have frozen by the time I returned. I had no choice but to borrow the cloak.”

“Ah, that Fourth Master Ning … Forget it, wash this cloak carefully. After that, Mother will send someone to send it back, so you don’t need to worry about it.” Su Qing thought to herself, Yunyao is still young and has not yet reached the coming of age. Moreover, Fourth Master Ning is much older than Yunyao, so I assume that he will regard her as a child. He should not have any other thoughts, so she should pay more attention in the future.

Seeing Su Qing let this matter go, Mu Yunyao secretly let out a sigh of relief. She didn’t know why, but when she discussed Yue Wang with Su Qing, she felt all sorts of uneasiness in her heart. “Mother, quickly come and take a look at this Snow Fox. It came from Western Guangdong. It’s very cunning and likes to scratch people....”

Only then did Su Qing have the mind to size up the little fox in the cage. With one look, she really liked it, “It’s really delicate and cute. Such a white fox rarely has seen.” As she said this, she wanted to reach out and touch it. The Snow Fox still want to repeat the same trick, but before the tip of its claws could extend outwards, Mu Yunyao had already pressed its two front paws onto the table. The wooden cage was in between them, hurting the Snow Fox so severely that it subconsciously bit down on them. But before it could even get close to her hand, Mu Yunyao reaches out and pinches his jaw, and his tongue pinched out.

She did it skillfully with a smile on her face as if it were a suitable game for a snow fox.

Snow Fox’s body trembled. It struggled to retreat, but once it strived, Mu Yunyao used her strength. It was so painful that the Snow Fox didn’t dare to move again.

Seeing Mu Yunyao’s actions, Su Qing couldn’t help but smile, “You have to be careful. Didn’t you say that it loves scratching people?”

The Snow Fox fur was smooth and sleek, like fine silk. Su Qing touched it through the cage and couldn’t help but smile. “You’re really obedient.”

Mu Yunyao also narrowed her eyes, “That’s right. I also think that it’s very obedient.” Seeing Su Qing withdraw her hand, Mu Yunyao also retracts her hand. The Snow Fox bellowed threats at Mu Yunyao in anger, but she didn’t take it seriously at all.

However, it was Su Qing who jumped in fright. “That little fox seems to be angry. If you like it, then you should take care of it properly. Later, Mother will prepare a gift to thank Fourth Master Ning.”

“Alright.”

Incurable Chapter 2 Part 2

After that, Mu Wan heard the cat’s cry from downstairs again. She got up and walked to the window in the living room. Mu Wan pulled up the curtain and looked down. She smiled when she saw several cats entangled and playing around.

“What are you laughing at?” Lin Wei asked.

Closing the curtains, Mu Wan returned to the living room and said, “When I came out last night from the hospital, I met Liu Daochang.”

Mu Wan told Lin Wei about yesterday’s affairs.

“Ah? And then what?” Lin Wei was full of interest.

“I asked him if he liked cats, and he said,’ Hmm. Then, I imitated a cat and meowed at him.” Mu Yan said lightly.

“Ah!” Lin Wei screamed.

When Lin Wei recovered, she told Mu Wan, “You sly girl. You do not take the unusual route. Li Daochang, who made many women kneel, was taken by you with a meow!”

“There is no capturing. It’s just a joke. I’m in good health and won’t go to the Emergency Room. Neither of us will see each other again in the future.” Mu Wan said, raising her head, toothpaste in her mouth, and grunting when she spoke, “Hey, chat with you later. After I clean up, I’ll rinse my mouth and bring you the congee.”

Mu Wan hung up the phone in a hurry. The sink was in the bathroom. She took the glass she used to brush her teeth from the living room table and rushed to it.

When she entered the bathroom, someone could hear a thump as a body hit the ground, and the broken glass’s sounds mingled.

After a while, Mu Wan moaned and groaned.

Twenty minutes after she had just said that she was healthy and would not go to the Emergency Room, Mu Wan went to the Emergency Room.

Twenty minutes ago, she slipped and fell when she entered the bathroom. She tried to support herself on the floor with both hands when she fell. As a result, the glass in her left hand broke. She fell on the broken glass, and it stabbed her on the left side of her chest. She immediately called Lin Wei, who called an ambulance and followed the ambulance to Mu Wan’s home.

As soon as she entered the bathroom, she looked at the blood diluted by water stains on the bathroom floor, standing at the bathroom door, crying, and stomping her feet, “You’re not going to die, are you?”

Mu Wan, lifted by paramedics, grinned with pain and almost laughed.

Mu Wan was rushed to the emergency room by paramedics. The Emergency Room was damp and cold, with people coming and going. Mu Wan’s pain gradually started making her less coherent. Her head buzzed as she listened to Lin Wei say to the doctor, “Doctor Liu, take a look at my friend. She’s hurt in the heart!”

Mu Wan raised her head and gazed at Liu Qianxiu’s deep, clear eyes.

“Meow~” Mu Wan laughed, and her lips were pale white, but she still laughed brightly.

Next to her, the nurses, who did not understand the situation, looked at her strangely. When Lin Wei heard this, she was angry and laughing and said, “You still have the mind to joke!”

Liu Qianxiu looked at her calmly, his eyelashes lowered. He fixed his eyes on her wound and said softly, “Take your hand away.”

Mu Wan took her hand away. She had no significant bleeding from her wound. Thus, the heart shouldn’t have been punctured. There was no shortness of breath and no sign of pneumothorax. At present, it should only be skin injuries.

After taking a morning shower, Mu Wan wore a beige shoulder strap. The clothes were dyed with blood, so Liu Qianxiu removed her shoulder strap and pulled it down to examine the wound.

The wound was out in the open. Liu Qianxiu bent slightly, dabbing cold water with the smell of disinfectant, which made her breathe in pain. Next to her, Lin Wei saw the wound, covered her mouth, and shouted: “Oh My God.”

Mu Wan’s chest injury can be described as flesh and blood intermingled. The wound still had some broken glass debris. But thanks to the shattered glass, the injuries were not deep.

When Mu Wan and Lin Wei looked at the injury, Liu Qianxiu’s gaze fixed on the red spot below the lesion. Under the blood and water, a red “bamboo leaf” was brighter than the wound, showing a kind of water spirit of the enchantment.

There was more than one bamboo leaf, and another half was beside it. Liu Qianxiu was quiet and pulled the shoulder strap down, but the other piece of bamboo leaf was not fully exposed when another hand stopped his hand.

“That’s not an injury.” Mu Wan said.

Liu Qianxiu looked up and asked, “Birthmark?”

There was some awkwardness in the area where she was injured. When Liu Qianxiu was going to pull it down, she exposed her entire left chest. He didn’t seem to care about her bare body but rather the birthmark.

Mu Wan was in so much pain that she couldn’t speak. Lin Wei answered for her, “It’s a birthmark, Doctor Liu. Does this affect the wound?”

“No.” Liu Qianxiu looked at half of the bamboo leaves, and his dark eyes deepened. He calmly said, “I just think it looks pretty.”

The author has something to say:

Mu Wan: Are only my birthmarks good-looking?

Liu Daochang: They all looked pretty.

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 189

~ THE RETURN OF YUE WANG ~ 

It had been spring for some days now, and although she still feels a little bit cold, the temperature had finally picked up at the end, which makes the greenhouse feel a bit stuffy.

Mu Yunyao changed into a light set of clothes before entering the greenhouse. The flowers she had collected were cared for very well by Jin Qiao. She walked in front of a few peonies and took a pair of scissors to prune some unnecessary branches carefully. Then she carried a bronze pot and carefully sprayed water on it.

Jin Qiao helped to cultivate the soil and fertilize on one side:

“Miss, although it is already spring, the weather is still too cold. Can the peonies really blossom?”

“Look at it carefully. From the looks of it, a flower bud will appear within a few days.”

Jin Qiao was curious and ran to the greenhouse for the next few days. On the sixth day, she finally couldn’t resist the urge to run up to Mu Yunyao with a surprised expression on her face. “Miss, you’re right. The peony really has a flower bud sticking out of it, and it looks like the bud is not small. It will certainly look good when it comes out!”
Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but be happy. “Let’s go take a look.”

Liu Liang also followed in Mu Yunyao’s footsteps to Jin Xiu Garden. When he saw the peonies with tender flower buds on them in the flower room, he couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, “Mistress, are you going to give these peonies to the salt merchant’s leader, Wu Minzhi, when he celebrates his birthday?”

“Hmm, didn’t you find that Wu Minzhi likes plants and flowers according to the information you gathered?” I presume that he would also like the peonies that bloom at this time of the year. He must like it when I give these gifts to him.”

“Mistress. The salt merchant’s leader is a seasoned veteran. I’m afraid he won’t let go just because of a few flowers and plants …” After all, the salt matter was of great importance. If Wu Minzhi had easily opened his mouth, it would be too difficult to deal with it in the future.

“These peonies are just a stepping stone. It’s better to get some good impressions from them than to be always on guard. Besides, the flowers and plants they grew were not all for him.” His wife also likes flowers and plants very much. So she wants to raise some to give her as gifts.

Just as Jin Qiao was about to ask Mu Yunyao who else she wanted to gift to, she saw a tall figure walk in from outside.

That person was wearing dark clothes with auspicious clouds floating above his sleeves. His embroidered blue cloak lightly touched the ground, bringing with it an intense chill.

Mu Yunyao seemed to have sensed something and couldn’t help but turn her head to look. She met the deep gaze of Yue Wang. “Fourth Master?”

A flash of warmth passed through Yue Wang before he gently nodded and said, “I’m back.”

Jin Qiao and Liu Liang retreat, leaving only Mu Yunyao and Yue Wang facing each other from afar.

The surrounding flowers and plants around were full of life, especially the peony bush that Mu Yunyao was standing on. The flowers were budded and ready to bloom, and the colors were all there. She was dressed in a snow-white dress and held onto a flower bouquet, looking like a charming beauty.

Yue Wang looked at the peonies she was holding and said: “When the flowers bloom, may I have one? I also like flowers and plants very much.”

Mu Yunyao was stunned as she did not expect that Yue Wang was actually someone who loved flowers and plants. “As long as Fourth Master likes it, it naturally won’t be a problem.”

The corner of his lips curved imperceptibly as Yue Wang looked at the surrounding flowers and plants with interest. “Do you want to give it to the leader of the salt merchant, Wu Minzhi?”

Mu Yunyao wasn’t the least bit surprised that he knew of this news. “Mn, I heard that he’s also a person who loves flowers and plants, so that’s why I gave it to him.”

“As the leader of the salt merchant, although he is not as rich as a nation, the silver in his hands is like flowing water. Although flowers and plants blooming in the cold spring air are rare, it is not necessarily enough to catch his eyes.” People like Wu Min usually receive many gifts that are more precious than those offered to the Imperial Palace, and their vision had naturally fostered to the point of being wily and crafty.”

Mu Yunyao smiled and didn’t say anything. She continued to water the peony flower with the kettle, “It’s just asking for directions. It would be good if I could ask, but it wouldn’t be a shame if I couldn’t.”

The green leaves had droplets of water on them, and each one of them was like a scattered pearl. When they lightly touched her hands, they trembled as they slid down. Some of them even landed on her hands, emitting brilliant rays of light.

Yue Wang twisted his fingers lightly and couldn’t help but think back to when he had touched her neck. Warm as jade, smooth as creamy, it was extremely enchanting. The touch of these hands is definitely not worse than the neck.

Yue Wang’s gaze was too obvious, causing Mu Yunyao to furrow her brows slightly. “It must have been hard on Fourth Master coming all the way, so I’ll head back first. I won’t disturb you any longer.”

“Wait a minute.” Noticing that he had lost his composure, Yue Wang hurriedly said, “The last time I came back, I was in a hurry and didn’t have the time to prepare a New Year’s gift for you. Today, I want to make it up to you.”

“Didn’t Fourth Master already send us gifts?”

“That was for Madam Su. This time, it’s for you alone.”

Mu Yunyao didn’t know why, but she thought of the dozen or so ice lanterns that he sent over every night during the New Year. She couldn’t quite say anything to rejected him. “Fourth Master. There’s no need to trouble yourself.”

“Aren’t you curious about what I’ve brought for you?” As Yue Wang spoke, he walked to Mu Yunyao’s side. His tall body carried a strong sense of oppression, making Mu Yunyao seem even more petite and weak. Mu Yunyao stood on the spot, looking at the back of Yue Wang while she is frowning and tightening. Finally, she sighed and followed up. With salt tax there, she couldn’t make things awkward. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to bother himself.

Along the way to the study, Mu Yunyao’s face turned pale. She had been in too much of a hurry when she left the greenhouse, so she didn’t have time to change into a set of thick clothes. She only wore that thin white skirt, and the breeze made her body cold.

Yue Wang turned his head back to look at her, and his heart skipped a beat. He walked to her in long strides and took off his cloak to cover her body, “All this time, it was so cold. Why did you not make a sound just now?”

Because he was afraid that she would refuse, he did not look back along the way. Who would have thought that she would come over wearing such a thin and long skirt? If she gets cold again, what should he do? Yue Wang was tall and slender, his large cloak draped over Mu Yunyao’s shoulders, and many of them scattered on the ground. Mu Yunyao uncomfortably moved. The temperature of Yue Wang still remained on the cloak, which carried the chilly air of his body and transmitted it to her through her thin skirt, giving her the illusion of being hugged by Yue Wang and felt the trembling of her fingertips.

Seeing that Mu Yunyao’s cheeks were slightly red and her pale complexion had faded, Yue Wang let out a sigh of relief without leaving a trace of it, “Next time, you definitely can’t do this. Do you remember?”

“Yes, the study room is warm, so there’s no need for this cloak …” As Mu Yunyao spoke, she prepared to take off the cloak.

Yue Wang reached out his hands to pull the strap of his cloak and carefully help her fasten it. There was a slight crease between his eyebrows, and an undetectable rage in his words brought out: “Don’t try to be brave

Mu Yunyao pursed her lips and uneasily retreated, wanting to avoid Yue Wang’s hand. Unexpectedly, the cloak was too long, so the moment she stepped on it, she fell backward.

Yue Wang stretched out his hand and pulled her into his embrace. Mu Yunyao only felt a flash before her eyes, followed by the cold breath that belonged solely to Yue Wang entering her nose. Then, followed by a more obvious body temperature, which made her face suddenly flush red. She quickly lifted her cloak and retreated a few steps, “Yunyao is rude, please forgive me, Your Highness!”

Incurable Chapter 2 Part 1

“Ha-ha-ha.” Mu Wan laughed. She closed the glass window, started the car, and left.

He is worthy of the name Liu Daochang (Taoist Priest Liu). He has a pure heart and few desires.

Mu Wan drove home to the Chengbei District. Two months ago, she bought a house in the Qinghe Mengyuan Community. The Qinghe Mengyuan is located in the old town of Xiacheng, where the house is over thirty years old.

This area is a typical old, run-down town in the city’s center. Although the house was old, the location was good, and the surrounding facilities were perfect, making her life comfortable.

Mu Wan just graduated two years ago, and the money she earned from her two years of acting is only enough for a down payment. Now, she is making monthly mortgage payments.

The home was too old and decorated in the 1980s. The furnishings and appliances were outdated and in no better condition. Lin Wei is an interior designer, so Lin Wei gave her a simple decoration design because the house was too old, and Mu Wan didn’t want to make a big move. The style is inclined to desktop decoration, which is very idyllic.

There was no parking space in this district. Mu Wan parked her car at the entrance of the district lane. After she turned off the car, she got out of the car and walked home. Although the community was old, there were many houses, and it was almost dinner time.

The uncle and aunt, who buy food, walk with their baskets while making an appointment in dialect to dance in the small park after dinner. The creepers climbed half the building wall, wrapped around the iron fence beside the corridor windows. There was thick smoke everywhere in the ruined and decayed community.

There were only six buildings in Mu Wan’s community, with only two rows. She lived in the first building in the last row. Pushing the door and entering the corridor, Mu Wan went to the third floor, took out the key, and opened the door.

She turned on the lights, and the milky white light illuminated the living room. Although the house was only seventy square meters, and the living room was small, it was clean and tidy and looked very comfortable.

After entering the door, Mu Wan slumped on the sofa and laid her body on it as she completely put down her spirit.

She filmed the scene all morning and returned at noon by high-speed railway. Without packing her luggage, she ran to the hospital to see Lin Wei. Now, she was exhausted.

Outside the window, it began to rain again. In the drizzling rain, Mu Wan heard two cats shouting out.

Wild cats gallivanted all night under trees and bushes in this small old community. The cats were unneutered, so they bred fast and overflowed the community.

Lin Wei once said that she was like a cat. She was wild, lazy, and easygoing. She also advised her to keep one, but Mu Wan did not want to.

She was not lonely, nor did she need the company of a cat. If a cat is in the house, there is more cause for concern. She and the cat are not free.

When thinking of cats, Mu Wan remembered the scene in the hospital. The man’s eyelids lifted slightly, and his eyes gleamed under the darkening sky.

Mu Wan raised her wrist to cover her eyes and laughed weakly.

After a tiring day, Mu Wan went to bed shortly after dinner. After a dreamless night, she woke up in the morning because of her mobile phone’s ringtone. Looking outside, the sky outside the window was grey. Although it had not rained, it was not sunny either.

During the rainy season, the humidity is very heavy, and the air is very moist. Mu Wan took her cell phone and saw “Li Nan” on the screen. She pressed the answer and said, “Hello, Big Boss.”

Li Nan was Mu Wan’s agent and the only agent of Xinzhou Entertainment. The eight artists under him all called him Big Boss. Mu Wan signed with Xinzhou Entertainment after graduation. The company was not big, but it did not default on her payment or have domineering clauses. It had decent resources, which was quite suitable for her.

“Tomorrow evening at seven o’clock, Zhang Chengze is hosting a banquet at Qing Songxuan. He is preparing to shoot a new drama series. Mi Yu will attend the audition, and you will go with her.” Li Nan arranged it briefly.

Minor actresses like Mu Wan usually do not attend such events. But it was not like she did not attend social events at all. In such a fame-and-fate event, drinking and eating are usual. Mu Wan needs to be there two or three times a month.

This time, the dinner focuses on Mi Yu, the hottest artist in Li Nan’s hands, who acted as the second female lead in the Great Fire Drama in her peak period. She will go with her, but just through the lobby. Afterward, she eats and drinks in the corner and greets people, so there will be small role arrangements later.

Mu Wan agreed as Li Nan explained two more sentences and hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Mu Wan took off her clothes and showered. It was cold and wet, with fog all over her body, making her uncomfortable. After bathing, she took a glass of water and a toothbrush. Then, she began brushing her teeth. Before she could finish, Lin Wei’s phone call came.

Put down the glass, and Mu Wan answered the phone with her toothbrush in her hand.

“Are there any new developments today?”

“No. Come and visit me with Xu Ji’s congee!”

“I will obey your orders.”

Mu Wan had already gotten up so early, so she had no problem sending her congee today. Lin Wei was from Jingcheng. Her parents and younger brother were in Jingcheng, so no one was to take care of her in the hospital.

Mu Wan had no father and no mother. Lin Wei will take care of her when she is ill in the hospital.

~ THE SUPPRESSION OF CAI YUE PAVILION ~ 

 
After sending off Cao Yunnian and Lady Jin, Mu Yunyao and Su Qing felt a little sad in their hearts, but they soon got busy. 

After the reconstruction, Ni Yun Fang had become a six-story building. Looking at it now, it was even more awe-inspiring than Bu Xian Luo in Jin Xiu Garden. Mu Yunyao hung up the finished signboard. She picked an auspicious day and put a few sticks of firecrackers on it, treating it as a new business. Cai Yue Pavilion is becoming more and more popular. Aside from Jingling City, all the other cities and towns in the area had flocked to the extent that no one could compare to Cai Yue Pavilion. After Tan Ba Wang’s accident, Tan Lin did not appear again in Jingling City, but Mu Yunyao did not let down her guard. After all, Tan Bawang was the only child of Tan Lin, so he could only rely on him. With his temperament, he could never forget this grudge.

When Ni Yun Fang reopened, Mu Yunyao naturally sent a message to each of the residences. However, this time many people chose to have their people deliver the gift instead of personally visiting.

Looking at the desolate Of Ni Yun Fang, Su Qing felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, “Previously, they treated us very nicely. But now, after Lord Cao and Lady Jin left just a few days, they suddenly changed their attitude. It really makes one’s heart tremble.”

“Mother doesn’t have to worry about it. First, Li Mu Nian’s attitude towards us is uncertain. Also, with the pressure from Cai Yue Pavilion, it’s understandable that they didn’t come. After a few more days, when things are clear again, they will treat us as kindly as they did before. They come and go with us, but it’s just a matter of flowing water, so you don’t have to worry about it at all.”

Su Qing couldn’t help but sigh, “Alright, I understand.”

Mu Yunyao had prepared a few booklets of beauty. She originally wanted to take advantage of the opening hours to deliver the books. But before she could take action, Jin Qiao rushed in. “ Cai Yue Pavilion has sent invitations to all the residence, Miss. After the invitation, those misses and ladies have all gone to Cai Yue Pavilion.”

Mu Yunyao smiled slightly. “It seems like the opening time we’ve chosen today isn’t very appropriate. It doesn’t matter, since there aren’t any guests, we can just as well slack off.”

“Miss, this servant is worried that Cai Yue Pavilion will continue to target us like this. I heard that they have also prepared their beauty booklets, and it was very popular with the ladies in various residences.”

“Mm, I’ll raise the price of the clothes in our shop later. Every piece of clothing costs more than two hundred taels.”

“Miss, if it’s like this, won’t there be even fewer people coming here to buy clothes?”

“Just wait and see.”

Mu Yunyao had initially thought that no one would come to Ni Yun Fang, but unexpectedly, Lady Chen and Madam Zhao joined in. “Greetings, Madams.”

With the child still in her arms, Lady Chen said with a face full of smiles, “Since you’ve opened your shop today, we’ll come and join in on the fun. Is Little Boss Yunyao welcoming you?”

Mu Yunyao hurriedly let them in. “Since the two Madams can come, it brings light to our humble dwelling. Come in quickly and have a seat. Jin Lan will prepare some tea for you.”

Seeing such a desolate scene, Lady Chen and Madam Zhao looked at each other and felt somewhat regretful in their hearts.

The Governor’s wife comforted her, “Yunyao, you don’t have to take it to heart. Actually, this kind of thing is extremely normal. You’ll understand after you’ve been in contact with it for a while.”

Mu Yunyao’s smile was warm, and her eyes had a look of relief, “Thank you, Madam. Although I’m a bit sad, I can understand it. After all, it’s normal for people to go out and have tea in another place. The two of you being here already makes me happy.”

Seeing her expression, the two ladies heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s difficult for you to understand things so clearly at such a young age. We came here today to look at the clothes. What kind of nice clothes do we have here? Let’s broaden our horizons.”

“The two Madams are here. The new spring dress I have prepared will ensure that the two of you will be as beautiful as flowers and be able to suppress those young ladies.”

“Hehe, we don’t dare to accept your compliment.” The two Madams laughed at her, and the atmosphere in Ni Yun Fang suddenly became lively.

Mu Yunyao not only brought out spring clothes appropriate for the two of them. But, she also specially brought out a set of clothes suitable for children, causing Lady Chen to be stunned on the spot.

“This... Is this for my child? “

Mu Yunyao smiled and nodded, “Actually, I heard that Madam was giving birth earlier. It’s just that Lord Zhao is upright and has not invited anyone to the Full Moon Banquet, so I can’t send gifts forward. Now that I’ve finally met Young Master Lin, the clothes didn’t prepare in vain.”

Lady Chen took the clothes and looked at them. The more she looked at them, the more she was satisfied. The clothes were so exquisite, and even a thread is hard to find. The clothes were so soft to the touch, and the patterns on them were also wonderfully cute, which makes people love it, “Yunyao, you’re so considerate.”

“It’s good that Madam likes it.”

After taking a few clothes and testing them out, the two of them praised each other endlessly. They chatted for a long time until the child in Lady Chen’s embrace fell asleep. Only then did the two of them get up and take their leave.

After sending off Lady Chen and Lady Zhao, Mu Yunyao saw no one came to her door, so she directly ordered Ni Yun Fang’s door to be closed and go home to rest.
When the news reached Cai Yue Pavilion, the newly appointed shopkeeper of Cai Yue Pavilion revealed a proud smile, “The owner has ordered us to suppress Ni Yun Fang comprehensively. This situation is just the beginning. I hope that the little owner of Ni Yun Fang doesn’t cry at the end!”

“The owner has made wise decisions, and the shopkeeper has arranged everything in an orderly manner. It seems like even with all the skills, it would still be hard to turn the situation around Ni Yun Fang.”

“I really thought I would be able to ignore people just because I’ve learned some embroidery needle techniques and heard some flattery from people. Now, I want her to know that there are some people that she can’t afford to provoke.”

Hearing about the matter at Ni Yun Fang, Steward Qin couldn’t help but feel indignant. “Miss, you don’t have to care about those people. They will regret it in a while!”

“I might as well take a break now. It’s also the right time for me to busy myself with the greenhouse.” Mu Yunyao didn’t take it to heart at all.

Seeing that she was so understanding, Steward Qin heaved a sigh of relief. He then felt that he was overthinking about it. He understood Miss Mu’s temperament and knew that such a small matter wasn’t enough to make her impatient: “Steward Qin, it has been two months since Fourth Master has returned to Western Guangdong. Can you tell me when he will come back?”

Steward Qin’s face revealed a hint of worry. “I’m not sure either. Every time I send a letter to inquire about it, Wang Ye doesn’t have a clear answer. Would Miss Mu like to write to ask about it?”

Mu Yunyao slightly pursed her lips as her gaze moved. “Wang Ye still hasn’t returned. It seems that the matter in Western Guangdong hadn’t settled safely. I won’t rush him.”

“After all, this is a matter of great importance. It’s fine for Young Miss to urge Wang Ye.” Supervisor Qin suggested carefully.

Mu Yunyao smiled as she shook her head. “If I keep on urging Wang Ye, wouldn’t it seem that I’m very ignorant? Wang Ye must have a plan, and he will not delay the matters.” After finishing speaking, she walked directly to the greenhouse. Steward Qin shook his head helplessly. Previously, when he saw Wang Ye deliver an ice lantern to Miss Mu and injured his hand because of this, he thought that she would waver a little. Now, it seems that it will be a very long time before Wang Ye can bring the golden doll back to his residence.

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 187

~ TEST OUT ~ 

Zhou Ruihua is the Salt Transport Envoy Li Munian’s wife. She was born in the Zhou family, which was the Minister of the Military Department. Many people said that when she reached her prime, she became acquainted with Li Munian at first sight, so she decided to marry him even at the risk of her reputation. This result made the Zhou family and the Li family extremely unhappy, and in the end, it was the Emperor who decided to marry Zhou Ruihua to Li Munian.

However, the royal marriage didn’t improve the relationship between the two families. Even after so many years, the two families still didn’t interact much.

Lady Zhou said gently, “I had the intention to go to Bu Xian Luo, but I did not make an appointment in advance. I was afraid that I could not find a seat, so I took the liberty to invite Miss Mu. Could I make things difficult for Miss Mu?”

“There have always been some seats reserved in Bu Xian Luo for entertaining distinguished guests. Lady Zhou, of course, is one of the distinguished guests. If Madam does not dislike it, I will make a pot of tea for you personally. How about having a taste of it?”

“Of course, it’s good. In the Capital, I’ve heard that Miss Mu’s skills in making tea are exceptional, and even Eunuch Xu in the Palace has never stopped praising you. After hearing this, the Emperor said that if there is a chance, he would definitely recruit Miss Mu into the Palace and have a look at the amazing tea making techniques.”

Mu Yunyao looked surprised: “Did the Emperor really say that? Then I will practice hard of my tea-making techniques after I go back. If I am lucky enough to be summoned by the Emperor, I will certainly show it well.”

Mu Yunyao got into the carriage and followed Lady Zhou all the way to Jin Xiu Garden. She then led the way to the peony seat.

Steward Qin walked over and greeted her. He then took people to arranged the tea set.

Mu Yunyao personally brewed tea and served it for Lady Zhou. Looking at the wondrous scene that conjured from the tea, Lady Zhou praised it for a long time, “In the earlier years, I heard that the Jiangnan Tea Ladies was able to make tea with unparalleled craftsmanship in the world. They also can transform the scenery into a small teacup. I thought it was merely bragging at first, but today, I’ve seen Miss Mu’s craftsmanship. and I realized that there was someone outside the world and what they said were true.”

“Madam, you are too kind.” Mu Yunyao’s face turned slightly red, and she looked a little embarrassed, but her eyes carried a trace of pride and happiness.

Lady Zhou closed her eyes, and the smile in her eyes deepened. After tea, she strolled around Jin Xiu Garden a bit and left without a word.

Mu Yunyao accompanied Lady Zhou to the outside of the garden. Mu Yunyao waited for her to get on the carriage before turning around and returning inside.

Steward Qin came over and greeted her with a solemn expression, “Miss, is that the wife of the newly appointed Salt Transport Envoy, Li Munian?”

Mu Yunyao smiled and nodded. “That’s right. We met at the Cao family’s Full Moon Banquet. She specifically invited me over just now, saying that she didn’t want to come to Bu Xian Luo to having tea, so I brought her over.”

Steward Qin smiled, “What does Miss think of this person?”

Mu Yunyao curled her lips into a smile. “He is gentle and approachable. Even though we haven’t known each other for long, it’s still so easy for people to have a good impression of him.”

Hearing this, Steward Qin felt relieved. “Miss, you have seen through everything. I think Madam will wait for you anxiously. Please go home quickly, Miss.”

“Alright, then I’ll take my leave.”

Yu Yi was at a loss. After Mu Yunyao left, he asked Steward Qin, “Steward Qin, what did you mean by what you said to Miss Mu just now? Why can’t I hear any mystery behind it?”

“There’s no mystery behind it. How can you tell?”

“Then, is this Lady Zhou good or bad?”

Steward Qin shook his head. This person’s brain didn’t know how to react at all: “What about Lady Zhou? What about Miss Mu’s identity?”

“Lady Zhou was Li Munian’s wife and was from the Zhou family in the Capital. She is the legitimate daughter of the current Minister of the Military Department. Besides, the Emperor gave married her with Li Munian. Naturally, she has a different status. Although Miss Mu was now Lord Cao’s adopted daughter, her level of identity was very shallow. It was unlikely that Lady Zhou would take her seriously.”

Steward Qin nodded, “Didn’t you already say the crucial point?”

“A crucial point?” Yu Yi thought about it carefully and was suddenly stunned, “That’s right. Logically speaking, even if Lady Zhou was approachable, she shouldn’t have treated Miss Mu well! Furthermore, from what I’ve heard, this Lady Zhou has a calm appearance on the outside, and she is very arrogant on the inside. She even once said she was disdain for the royal family’s wife in the first place....”

“Looks like the wind is blowing again in Jingling City.” Steward Qin thought for a moment and said, “Recently, get someone to keep an eye on the Li family. After all, the Li family belongs to the First Prince’s lineage. Our current stall has not rolled out yet, and the First Prince must not be aware of it. Otherwise, I am afraid that all previous efforts will be in vain.” Li Qingzhou’s eldest daughter had been in the Palace for many years, and she was now in the position of an Imperial Concubine. Besides, she had raised the eldest son of the Emperor, which was highly respected by the Emperor. Now, the First Prince had married the daughter of a branch of the Li family, which makes the relationship firmer. In the past two years, it has been supporting the development of the First Prince’s party affiliation, which is an important reason why the Emperor began to reduce Li Qingzhou’s power.

“Yes.”

When Mu Yunyao returned home, Su Qing looked at her and let out a sigh of relief, “Yao’er, why did that Lady Zhou want to do with you?”

“It must be that Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo are too popular. She wanted to test it out, and I was just there to act with her.”

“What’s the effect?”

“Mother, you don’t need to worry. Lady Zhou has a noble background, and she married into a wealthy family like the Li family. Naturally, she disdains to make things difficult for me. Let alone a small thing like Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo, even the giants like Cai Yue Pavilion is nothing in their eye, it just merchants.”

“Sigh, I feel that I have lost some of my strength in my heart after Lord Cao and Lady Jin left.” Su Qing couldn’t help but sigh. She had a calm personality. It was not easy for her to feel that everything was in order, but she suddenly felt that something was off. She wouldn’t know what happen in the future?

Mu Yunyao took Su Qing’s arm and sat on the bedside. “Mother, you don’t have to worry. It’s good if the adoptive father and mother go to the Capital. This way, when we return to the Su family, we can meet with them in the Capital.”

“Yao’er, I also heard from Steward Qin about some matters regarding Lord Li. His background is deep and profound, and he is not someone we can afford to offend. In the future, we should stay as far away from him as possible.”

“Mother, I don’t want to have anything to do with him, but it seems impossible now. When Lady Zhou saw me today, she was probably trying to test out my character and personality. She might have some other motives.” Mu Yunyao thought for a moment before deciding to tell Su Qing the truth. She would have been exposed to some things sooner or later, and she will be able to prepare for something if she knew it early.

“The Li family has lots of assets, and the father of Lord Li is the Prime Minister. We are just commoners. What can they possibly get from us?”

“Mother had known Lord Li’s father’s identity. I presume that you know that he is the First Prince’s maternal grandfather. Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo have gained a great reputation in Jiangnan. If the First Prince could use them, it would be good.”

Su Qing couldn’t help but be nervous. “Doesn’t that mean we’re in danger?”

“Mother, you don’t have to worry too much. Since they want to use us, I will naturally use some methods to win us over. Besides, do you think they’ll go overboard with the golden signboard that the Emperor personally gave us? We’ll only need to treat it as not understanding.” If Yue Wang had not been there, their situation would have been much more difficult, but it was different now. If they had been able to get their hands on the salt tax according to plan, then Yue Wang’s power would have quickly expanded. With such a stable and reliable backer, she was not afraid of even a few princes!

~ FIRST MEETING WITH LI MUNIAN ~ 

Mu Yunyao hurriedly nodded. “Mother, please be at ease. I’m only live my life honestly. How would I have any relationship with this Lord Li?”

Lady Jin sighed. “If it weren’t for Bu Xian Luo and Ni Yun Fang, I really would have brought you and Sister Su into the Capital.”

“Mother, there’s no need to worry. After a while, I might even open Bu Xian Luo and Ni Yun Fang in the Capital. At that time, I’ll come to you.”

“That’s great. After I arrived in the Capital, all I hoped for was for this day to come.” Lady Jin really couldn’t bear to part with Mu Yunyao. Although they hadn’t spent much time together in the past half-year, it made her feel incomparably fresh and comfortable. She could even gradually put aside all of the sufferings.

“Mother, there’s no need to be sad. Once you and Father have settled down, I can also bring my mother to the Capital to see you, merely to see the prosperity there.”

“Well, I’ll write to you when I had settled down. When you have time, you must come to the Capital.”

Mu Yunyao didn’t know what to say, but after dispelling the sadness in Lady Jin’s heart, she got up and said goodbye.

A few days passed unknowingly, and it was finally the Full Moon Baquet of Lady Jin’s child. During the confinement period, Mu Yunyao came frequently and took care of Lady Jin very meticulously. On the day before the Full Moon Baquet, she specifically came in the evening to help Lady Jin perspire. So when Lady Jin finished bathing early in the morning, she felt relaxed all over. It was as if the delivery had not happened to her at all and no trace on her. Mu Yunyao accompanied Su Qing to the Cao family’s residence. Yin Hong was already waiting at the entrance and greeted them at the door. When she saw them, she hurriedly led them to the backyard with enthusiasm.

Soon, the guests gathered, and Mu Yunyao followed them to the front courtyard.

As soon as she walked in, she saw the man standing next to Cao Yunnian. He looked very young, about 25 or 26 years old, but his whole body was extraordinary. He had a warm smile, and his face was gentle, making people feel close to him.

However, Mu Yunyao discovered that his smile was floating on the surface, and it didn’t reach his eyes in the slightest. It was as if his smile had already become a mask that completely covered up his real emotions, making it impossible for others to notice. Mu Yunyao narrowed her eyes slightly, and a faint smile flashed through her eyes. This Li Munian was the youngest son of Prime Minister Li Yuanzhou, and he was very favored since he was young. Many people say that he was forced by Prime Minister Li to take an exam to gain fame. But people would have no thought that the most important thing for the Li family is not Li Muqiong, who is now a second-rank official and has a lousy literary skill. Or Li Mubai, who is brave and well-known good at fighting and has repeatedly made military merits. Instead, rather the inconspicuous Li Munian.

With the sound of the salute, Mu Yunyao stood beside Lady Jin with her eyes slightly lowered, her appearance respectful and quiet to the extreme. With a smile in Li Munian’s eyes, he glanced around. His gaze finally stopped on Mu Yunyao’s body. He was a little surprised in his heart. Mu Yunyao, at such a young age, had already received two rewards from the Emperor. Besides, as a commoner, she was adopted as an adoptive daughter by Cao yunnian and Lady Jin. No matter how indifferent her mind is, she should be a bit boastful at this time. However, he did not expect that she dressed elegantly, and her expression was tranquil. If it weren’t for the fact that her beauty was hard to conceal, it would have been easy for people to ignore her.

“You must be Miss Mu. I’ve heard of Miss Mu’s kindness in the Capital. She has exceptional craftsmanship and does not hide her skills, which is worthy of respect.”

LadyJin did not expect that the first person Li Munian asked was actually Mu Yunyao. She subconsciously took half a step to the side to replace Mu Yunyao as she replied, “Yao’er is still young and has yet to learn many of the rules. Lord Li praised her wrongly. Yao’er, why don’t you come forward and salute us quickly.”

Mu Yunyao didn’t raise her head. She followed Lady Jin’s words and went forward to pay her respects before returning to Lady Jin’s side.

Li Munian’s eyes moved, but the smile on his face didn’t change. He nodded and looked away, chatting gently with Cao Yunnian.

Although the arrival of Li Munian made the banquet a little bit different, it is still a Full Moon Banquet. Naturally, it is indispensable to carry the children out to lively and joyfully.

Cao Yunnian was about to enter the Capital, and his future prospects were limitless. Everyone had prepared a generous amount of gifts, and when they saw the beautiful boy carried out, they praised him continuously, which make Lady Jin smile.

Li Munian took off a jade pendant and placed it on a plate carried by a maid, “This jade pendant was given to me by my father when I was weak. It doesn’t mean anything valuable, but it means luck and peace. I hope Lord Cao and Lady Jin don’t dislike it.”

“How could that be? It is a gift from Prime Minister Li, and it is too precious to Lord Li. How could this child be able to bear it?”

“The child has just reached the full moon, and he already looks so exquisite and cute. When I saw him, I was also so happy. I wanted to carry him home and raise him. It can also regard as my fate and this child. I hope that this child will be lucky and safe in the future. Did the child have a name?”

Cao Yunnian nodded, “Yes. He has already taken it, and the name is Zhiwen.”

“What a good name. A gentleman wins when he’s civil, a man wins when he’s historical, and a gentleman becomes a gentleman when he’s cultured. The gentleman wears a jade. This gift of mine is really timely.” The banquet atmosphere is lively. Mu Yunxuan also gave her own present. The present she prepared had not considered being expensive. It was a pair of children’s clothes. The clothes were unmistakably small and exquisite, but the inner garments, outer garments, shoes, and hats were all complete. There were even belts and pockets. It is embroidered with a remarkably adorable pattern. Some ladies looked at it and couldn’t put it down and repeatedly praised her superb craftsmanship.

Mu Yunyao responded with a smile but didn’t say much.

The host and the guests enjoyed themselves, and the Full Moon Banquet was over. Just as Mu Yunyao was about to leave, she stopped by a maid. “This servant greets Miss Mu.”

“Miss doesn’t need to be so courteous. I wonder who you are …” The maid in front of her wears a lake-green dress. Her smile was sweet, and her manners were considerate. But there was a trace of imperceptible arrogance in her eyes.

“This servant is the maid by Lady Zhou’s of Salt Transportation Envoy’s wife. Madam appreciates Miss’s embroidery skills and would like to speak a few words with you.” As she spoke, she raised her hand and gently motioned to the carriage beside her.

Mu Yunyao turned her head and said to Su Qing, “Mother, you go home first. I’ll go speak with Lady Zhou and have my adoptive mother send someone to escort me home.”

Su Qing was a little worried, but she knew that it is not appropriate to say more at this time. She could only nod her head and shake Mu Yunyao’s hand firmly, “Alright.”

Mu Yunyao smiled as she nodded, then followed her with a frown as she walked towards the carriage at the side. “Mu Yunyao greets Lady Zhou.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the curtain of the carriage lifted, and a beautiful woman was smiling. She had beautiful eyebrows and a delicate face, and a tear mole under her left eye had perfectly blended in, causing her to feel a bit tender. “Miss Mu, I feel impolite, has taken the liberty to invite you over, has it delayed your return home to rest?”

“Madam is too polite. My home is also close to this place. If it earlier or later, there is no hindrance.” Mu Yunyao had a smile on her face. Her smile was specifically sweet and tranquil, and her eyes were clear without a trace of haze.

~ LADY JIN’S RED ENVELOPE ~ 

 
When she was at Jin Palace, she also had a greenhouse, but it was so small. However, she nurtured the flowers and plants with great vigor and vitality. During the new year, Jin Wang brought two pots of beautiful peonies to showing his big face.

“Really? It is the first time that this servant has heard of it.”

“In fact, it’s not that surprising. Greenhouses had built in many places in the Capital, but the cost is too expensive. Most of the flowers and plants raised are not as beautiful as the spring and summer. Even so, they are in short supply in the rich and powerful family.”

“When will Miss pack those plants? This servant will also learn a couple of moves from you. How about that?” Jin Qiao looked eagerly. Her embroidery skills were not bad, but it had lost a bit of its spirituality when compared to Jin Lan. In her heart, she did not have much love for embroidery. On the contrary, when she hears about raising flowers and grass, she gets full interest.

“Alright, if you like it, then learn from me. When you succeed, I can also get away and do other things.”

Mu Yunyao brought Jin Qiao around the greenhouse for a few days and taught her how to look after the flowers and plants. Then, she took off to help Lady Jin with the Full Moon Banquet.

Cao Yunnian had promoted again, which made countless people jealous. Within a year, he had advanced from a fifth-grade Zhizhou to a fourth-grade Capital Investigation, so how could anyone not be envious of him? His one year is worth the hard work of others for more than ten years. How can they not be envied?

Although Cao Yunnian wanted to enter the Capital after this Full Moon Banquet, he couldn’t let go of the connections he had been working hard to manage in Jingling City. Therefore, the arrangements for the banquet had to be extra meticulous, not letting others feel like they had forgotten their duty after they left. Otherwise, it would not be worth it.

Lady Jin was interested in training Mu Yunyao, so she asked her to help prepare the guests’ list, seats, and dishes for the banquet.

Mu Yunyao didn’t decline either. After such a long time, she finally thoroughly understands the complicated network of people in Jingling City. After a moment of thought, she started writing but intentionally left out a few less prominent people and passed the completed list to Lady Jin.

Lady Jin looked at it carefully, and she couldn’t help but sigh in her heart. As expected, Mu Yunyao had an exquisite heart. “Yao’er has arranged it very well. When I was your age, I only wanted to play around, but there are a few people that you need to pay attention to....”

“Thank you for your reminder, Mother. Otherwise, I really would have missed it.”

“You’re still young. This arrangement is already exceptionally comprehensive and meticulous. There aren’t any problems with the dishes, so I’ll send out the order and have someone prepare it according to your instructions.” After that, Lady Jin took out a red envelope from under her pillow: “When I was giving birth, I promised to give you a red envelope. However, I’ve been busy raising my body and taking care of your brother these past few days, so I forgot about this matter. I wanted to give you a red envelope at the Full Moon Banquet in a few days, but when I thought about it, this will inevitably cause some trouble for you, so I decided to give it to you today.”

Mu Yunyao heaved a sigh of relief. If Lady Jin really did give her a red envelope at the Full Moon Banquet, many people will definitely ask the motive. At that time, no matter how she explained, there would probably be some gossip coming out. Just in case, those rich people investigate deeply and learn that she is very good at helping people deliver babies. There are actually people who ask her to come, and it was hard to decide whether to go or not.

“Thank you, Mother. I’ve already said this before, so I will not be polite.” Mu Yunyao took the red envelope and weighed it heavily in her hand. “Mother, how many banknotes did you put in there? How come it’s so heavy?”

Lady Jin smiled and said, “You’ll know once you open it yourself.”

Mu Yunyao opened the red envelope and saw the contents inside. She couldn’t help but be taken aback. “Mother, how can this be?”

In addition to the tens of thousands of taels of silver in the silver notes, there were also several deeds of a few mansions, farmland, houses, and land deeds. There was also a list of all kinds of porcelain, jade artifacts, and accessories. It is to be a few times more generous than the dowry of Lady Jin in the first place.

“Mother, this is too precious. I absolutely cannot accept it.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll tell you in detail.” Lady Jin pulled Mu Yunyao’s hand and sat down, “Since you called me Mother, then I’ll treat you as my own daughter. In my eyes, you and Zhiwen are my children, and I am sincere to you. However, your younger brother will be able to make a career for himself as a man. As a woman, you will marry someone else’s family in the future. You also will serve your in-laws, raise your children, and take care of your husband. The hardships and suffering that you’ve gone through are not worth mentioning to outsiders. If these extraneous things can help you live a better life, Mother would also feel comforted.”

Mu Yunyao’s heart trembled, and a strong feeling spread through her body. If it weren’t for the fact that they were really in her shoes, Lady Jin wouldn’t have said such words, “Mother, there are more places in the Capital where flowers are needed. I have Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo in my hands. I don’t lack silver taels. I can purchase other things slowly, but you are different. After such a long time, I have more or less understood a little bit. The Jin family is not an easy place to get along. If they find out that you have left everything for me, it’s hard to avoid a grudge...”

Lady Jin patted her hand: “Don’t worry. I have also saved a lot of personal money over the years. I don’t have much, and I’ll keep some for you. When the time comes for you to put on makeup, you can take care of it. As for the other shops, I’ll leave them behind. Since it’s inconvenient for me to manage them, so I’ll give them to you.”

Mu Yunyao still felt that she couldn’t accept it. “Mother....” She is afraid these things are most of the property of the adoptive mother. They were way too valuable.

“Alright, if you still refuse to accept it, I’ll be angry. Since Mother hasn’t given birth yet, the consequences of getting angry will be much worse than usual!”

Seeing that Lady Jin really had a stern face, Mu Yunyao thought for a moment before nodding. “Alright, then I’ll accept it. Thank you, Mother.”

Lady Jin then showed a smile: “That’s more like it. Shopkeeper Jin has followed me for many years, and he knows all the farms, mansions, and shops that I have. I’m not going to bring him with me when I return to the Capital. I will leave him by your side.”

“Okay, please be at ease, Mother. I will take good care of Shopkeeper Jin and ask for his advice when I have something on.”

“Yes, Mother.”

Lady Jin thought of another thing, “Oh right, I assume you’ve also heard that the person who came to take over your Father’s position is Li Munian from the Capital. His identity is extraordinary, so you should pay more attention and try not to provoke him.”

“I heard that he came from the Li family in the Capital. Although I was far away in Jingling City, I also heard about the prestige of the Li family. It was really amazing. It really makes one sigh in admiration.” Mu Yunyao revealed a surprised expression. 

Lady Jin nodded in agreement: “Father of Li Munian is the Prime Minister of the dynasty, Li Qingzhou. Although he is already old and the Emperor wants to reduce his power, in the end, he is still a veteran official who has followed the Emperor all the way. The Emperor has always been thinking of his old relationship with him. Thus, he considered being someone of high authority. In these past few years, the Su family has gradually developed. Although they can faintly compete with Li Qingzhou, I think the newcomers still not as powerful as the old ones. I’m afraid that Li Munian’s coming here has other purposes. After we leave, the influence will certainly not be as good as before. You must be more careful not to get involved in it.”

Incurable Chapter 1 Part 2

Liu Daochang. His nickname is quite distinctive. Mu Wan leaned back in her chair and asked, “Why does he have such a nickname?”

“He believes in Taoism. I heard he would take four days off monthly to meditate at a Taoist temple. If he cannot save a patient in the Emergency Room, he will perform prayers for it. But his personality is too cold, and he has almost no contact with others as if he has no seven emotions and six sensory desires, like a Daoist Immortal.”

At this point, Mu Wan’s first impression of Liu Qianxiu is vivid in her mind. No wonder she felt he was free from the world’s vulgarities and possessed an immortal appearance. It turns out he had such a religious legacy.

“Taoist believers are like this. They are pure-hearted and have few desires. They are devoted to the cultivation and become immortal.” After speaking this, Mu Wan did not go on talking. After all, talking about others behind their backs is not very good. She had a good impression of Liu Qianxiu. She felt that his whole person was washed very clean. Moreover, as a doctor, he rescues patients, and as a monk, he performs prayers for dead patients. Whether helpful or not, it can deliver comfort and peace of mind to the deceased’s family members.

“Don’t you think the name Liu Qianxiu is a little familiar?” Mu Wan looks at Lin Wei.

“Liu Qianxiu is the name of the Liu family’s head. He is one of the Four Young Masters in Xiacheng.” Lin Wei is always well-informed. She ladled congee with a spoon and said, “But it should be that they only have the same name. The Liu family’s head manages the family’s internal affairs every day. How can he come to a hospital to be a doctor? How much money can a doctor make?”

“Maybe he doesn’t need money, so he goes to cure diseases and save people, or maybe he wants to pursue spiritual salvation?” After Mu Wan finished, Lin Wei turned her head, and her white eyes gave Mu Wan a look she could feel trying to penetrate through her. Mu Wan smiled because of it.

She accompanied Lin Wei until the rain stopped. Mu Wan took the umbrella and walked out of the hospital. It had been raining for two days, and the hot and humid air was gone today. When she went out, the cold wind blew through the rain, bringing some coldness to her body.

Dark shadows had already appeared. The lights were bright in all the hospital’s buildings, and the water reflected them on the ground. Mu Wan found her car and opened the door.

As soon as she got in the car, there was a prompt tone on her mobile phone, and the screen lit up her face. After Mu Wan unlocked it, she saw the bank transfer notice. It was the remuneration of her recent movie.

At that time, Mu Wan chose to study acting at the Film Academy because the money for filming was fast. Even if she does not compete for prime roles, playing such minor roles is enough to support her.

Since childhood, she has had no father and lived with her mother in the Mu family. Later, her mother died, and after graduating from high school, Mu Wan moved out of the Mu family. She’s now a lonely woman, lurking in the shadows, signing up for a small company and playing minor roles that nobody notices. When one person is sufficient, the whole family is not hungry.

This kind of life is also very good. In a movie, the protagonist and supporting roles are the norms for most actors.

She’s probably the least ambitious actor in the entertainment industry.

After thanking the company, Mu Wan put her mobile phone aside and prepared to start the car. She stepped on the clutch under her feet, but before she pressed the ignition button, she heard the muffled sound of the window glass knocked on.

Outside the window stood a man whose silhouette reflected on the glass window. He was thin and straight, but she could not see his face. Mu Wan stopped starting the car and opened the window. The black car windows fell like a movie, gradually drawing the curtain.

Outside the window, the man had taken off his white coat. His gentle, elite aura made him look like an immortal. His linen shirt was wide, comfortable, and stylish. He had a long umbrella in his hand. His fingers were long and bony, and they were on the black handle of the umbrella.

The sky gets covered with a thin dark shadow, making his cold white skin glow. His appearance is more delicate in the near than in the distance, especially in those eyes.

Dark and bright, transparent but not bottomless, like a pool.

When Mu Wan opened the window, he still looked quiet and calm, pointing to Mu Wan’s car.

“Wait a minute. There’s a cat under the car.”

His voice sounded like a clear spring, deep and cold.

It’s Liu Daochang

As Liu Qianxiu spoke, he had already reached the back of the car. There was a rustle. Mu Yan put her wrist on the window frame and squinted at the rearview mirror.

In the small rearview mirror, the man bent down his slender legs and squatted. He held a biscuit in his right hand. Under the shadow, the outline of his side face was hazy and clear, like an unpolished watercolor painting.

When he looked under the rear car tires, Liu Qianxiu’s voice was calm. He called it out gently, “Come here.”

A cat came out from under the car in the narrow rearview mirror.

Mu Wan’s eyes shone.

It was a plump calico cat with a rounded abdomen and a grey body. As soon as it got out from under the car, it looked up and cried at Liu Qianxiu. The voice was soft, as though it was familiar to him.

As soon as the cat came out, Liu Qianxiu did not hesitate to stoop down, stretch out his hand, and hold it in his arms.

The ground was full of water, the cat’s paws got covered with mud, and he trampled on his shirt as soon as he got into his arms. It prints plum blossom mud on his linen shirt, which didn’t bother him.

Lin Wei said he hardly associates with people but treats the kittens intimately. Mu Wan looked at Liu Qianxiu, holding a cat. His figure was tall and straight. He is like an immortal from the nine heavens looming in the mists, with a sense of emptiness. At that moment, Mu Wan felt like she was seeing an immortal cultivator.

“Is this your cat?” Mu Wan put her elbows on the window frame and looked at one person and a cat.

Liu Qianxiu turned and looked at the calico cat in his arms. Mu Wan in the car was smiling at him very charmingly. Her smile crinkled her eyes, and her eyes were also bright.

“No. A stray cat.”

“I think it’s very close to you.” Mu Wan glanced at the cat, and the pupils of the cat’s eyes had become black.

“I feed it sometimes.” Liu Qianxiu said.

The conversation between the two was simple. Mu Wan asked him, and he answered nothing much.

It seemed accurate that he was as plain as a chrysanthemum.

“Do you like cats?” Mu Wan smiled.

“Hmm.” Another simple answer.

Dealt with this kind of reply, Mu Wan could only shake her shoulders, and her small face wrinkled with a smile.

“Meow.~”

It was a short sound, not too loud or low, and it mingled with Mu Wan’s crisp and charming laughter. It gave off a sweetness similar to marshmallows wrapped in chocolate sauce, soft and fascinating.

The calico felt disturbed by her laughter. Its ears moved, opened its eyes, and looked over while the man who held the cat, his eyelashes slightly raised and gazing at her, silent, boundless.

The author has something to say:
Mu Xiaoxiao: If you feed me something, I will kiss you too.
Liu Daochang: Can you eat lollipops?
