~ YUE WANG, WHO JUST CAME OUT OF THE BATH ~ 

 
Liu Liang replied, “I heard from him that we had contacted the craftsman, but we are short of some new jewelry patterns.” 

Mu Yunyao slightly lowered her gaze. After thinking for a moment, she said, “Since that’s the case, then let’s let him open up two houses first, one being in the JinglingCity while the other is in Yangzhou City. I will have Shopkeeper Qin send some people in Bu Xian Luo to help him stabilize his position. We must spread our reputation first, regardless of how much money we spend.” 

“Yes, I will immediately send someone to tell Qi Ming.”

“Alright.”

After Liu Liang left, Mu Yunyao quietly sat there for a while before she got up and went to meet Yue Wang. Mu Yunyao’s heart skipped a beat when she saw his appearance. At this time, it was likely that Yue Wang had just finished bathing. His light blue robe caused the cold aura around his body to abate quite a bit. His dark hair spread out, part of his hair was fixed on the top of his head by a white jade crow, and some of it was scattered around his ears, softening the cold light in his ink-black eyes, making him look even more handsome. “Why are you looking for me so late?” They had just met in the afternoon. He thought that Mu Yunyao would be fine, so he took a bath and changed clothes early to rest. Unexpectedly, he heard from steward Qin that Mu Yunyao had arrived. He hastened to clean it up and rushed over, so he didn’t even have time to dry his hair.

Mu Yunyao stood up, feeling a bit nervous in her heart. She was too rushed just now and had forgotten to pay attention to the time. “I’ve disturbed Fourth Master. My matters aren’t too urgent. Let’s talk about it tomorrow.” As she spoke, she stood up and left with her head lowered.

“Since you’ve come, if you don’t say anything, you make me worry for you.” Yue Wang sat behind the table and looked indifferently at Mu Yunyao.

If she left now, it became even more apparent that she wanted to cover it up. Mu Yunyao could only stop her steps and say, “It’s some news about Qi Ming. He found out that a large batch of official salt will be transported to the north through Jingling City recently.”

“Is it time to transport the official salt?” Yue Wang obviously also knew the way and felt that something was wrong when he heard it. He gently tapped his finger on the table, and his mind turned quickly.

Mu Yunyao stood in place, but her gaze involuntarily fell on his hair. Perhaps it was because he came in a hurry, but his hair hadn’t dried yet, but now that he sat down, there were water stains on his clothes. Although it was already spring, the night’s weather was still quite cold, which must be extremely uncomfortable.

However, Yue Wang didn’t realize it. “I will get someone to investigate more. It’s impossible to transport a large amount of official salt at this time. There must be a reason that we don’t know about.”

Mu Yunyao steadied her heart. “I was thinking the same thing, but it’s too difficult for Qi Ming to gain the approval of Wu Minzhizhi and his group in such a short time, so I wanted to help him stabilize his foundation as much as possible. It’s impossible to get some confidential information, but I can at least inquire a bit more about it.”

“What do I need to do?”

“I had discussed with Steward Qin before, and if you don’t mind, we’ll open Bu Xian Luo in Yangzhou City and Huai’an City. Now that Yangzhou city is ready, I want to assign some people to help Qi Ming build Yi Bao Xuan.” “Yi Bao Xuan?”

“Yes. If Ni Yun Fang mainly sells clothes, Yi Bao Xuan can sell some jewelry, rouge, and cosmetics, and can also make quite a bit of profit.” Mu Yunyao carefully explained the plan of setting up the Yi Bao Xuan.

After hearing this, Yue Wang couldn’t help but show a different color: “It is indeed an excellent idea to let Yi Bao Xuan climb up the ranks of Ni Yun Fang. No one will be able to link it with you, so this method is feasible. I will instruct Steward Qin to send some people to cooperate with Qi Ming.”

Mu Yunyao heaved a sigh of relief and took out a contract from her sleeve. “I am the leader of this Yi Bao Xuan, so I can’t let Fourth Master waste your efforts. I will give you thirty percent of the profits like Ni Yun Fang. How about it?”

Yue Wang took the written agreement, and after reading it carefully, he shook his head.

Mu Yunyao’s eyes moved slightly, “According to Fourth Master’s opinion, what percentage should I give to you?”

Yue Wang tore the contract: “I am only helping from the side. You don’t have to give me the silver taels. Previously, you were the one who controlled both ginger tea and Bu Xian Luo.”

Bu Xian Lou gradually established its foothold, and more and more news came back. He had already started to profit from this. Not to mention the large amount of ginger tea delivered to Western Guangdong had helped him exceedingly, and it could say that he still owed Mu Yunyao a favor.

Mu Yunyao laughed, “Since that’s the case, then I’ll take advantage of you this time.” Since Yue Wang was so generous, please don’t blame her for being impolite. She had never had anything against real gold and silver.

After talking about the business and taking advantage of it, Mu Yunyao was in a good mood and couldn’t help but kindly remind him, “The weather is cold at night, so Fourth Master should dry his hair as soon as possible. Otherwise, it’s easy for you to get chills. I’ll take my leave first.”

“I’ll send you back.”

“There’s no need. It’s only two steps ….” Mu Yunyao hurriedly refused.

However, Yue Wang had already stood up and lit up a lantern: “Let’s go. It’s dark now. Even if you go alone, I won’t be able to rest at ease.”

Under the candlelight, Yue Wang’s face took on a layer of haziness. His eyes, which were as black as night, also seemed to have a soft glow to them. His exquisite and handsome face seemed as if it carved from heaven.

Mu Yunyao fiercely bit down on her tongue and suppressed the ripples in her heart. She raised her hand to take the lantern in the hands of Yue Wang. “Fourth Master, you should go and dry your hair first. There’s only this little way. I can go back by myself.” With that, without waiting for Yue Wang to speak, she lifted up her skirt and walked out of the study.

Staring at her hastily leaving figure, Yue Wang couldn’t help but twitch his fingers and let out a faint sigh in his heart. He thought that Mu Yunyao had reduced her guard against him, but now it seemed that she was still full of caution.

Steward Qin walked over with a cloth towel in his hand. “Your Highness came in too much of a hurry and forgot to wipe your hair. Did Miss Mu leave?”

“Yes.”

Steward Qin handed the cloth towel with a face full of smiles. “This servant heard that you need to be especially patient in taming the Snow Fox. Because once the Snow Fox caught, you have to be extremely wary....”

“Uncle Qin, it’s getting late. Why don’t you go back and have a rest earlier?”

“Alright, Your Highness est early as well. This drop of water cuts through rocks, the rope saws the wood, the road is long and endless. It’s a long way to go, persevering, and struggling to make a thousand miles....”

“Uncle Qin, the things you’re carrying are too messy. However, it does make sense.”

Steward Qin seemed thrilled, “This old servant will definitely read more books when I return. I will try to recite more accurately next time.”

Yue Wang dried his hair and took out a red rope from his sleeves. Underneath the red rope was a crescent-shaped scented sachet made from twisted colored silk ropes, and underneath the scented sachet were two small silver bells, which shook slightly and jingling. It was very delicate and lovely. When he had pulled off the red rope from Mu Yunyao’s neck, he had actually left something behind. Sometimes he would take it out and shake it, which made his depressed mind would become calmer. Perhaps this was what everyone was referring to as fate.

~ KILLING A CHICKEN AS AN EXAMPLE TO A FOX ~ 

 
After taming the Snow Fox, Mu Yunyao felt a sense of novelty. Not only did she personally cook for the Snow Fox, she even trimmed its nails and fur as if she was treating it like a child. 

Yue Wang received the news from Yangzhou City and handed the letter to Mu Yunyao. His gaze swept across the Snow Fox lying on her shoulder, and his brows slightly moved. “The fox is cunning, and you have no defense against it like this. Aren’t you afraid that it’ll attack you while you’re not on guard?” 

Mu Yunyao slightly raised the corner of her mouth and raised her arm. The Snow Fox crawled from her shoulder to her palm, “Didn’t Fourth Master say that the Snow Fox in Western Guangdong has spiritual and extremely protective after being tamed? I think it knows what’s best.”

The Snow Fox licked Mu Yunyao’s fingertips ingratiatingly as it wagged its tail, trying its best to wrap it around her wrist. Its eyes were expressly intelligent.

Yue Wang was a little curious. He had seen other people taming the Snow Fox before but had never seen the tamed Snow Fox being so intimate with his master. “What did you do?”

Mu Yunyao narrowed her eyes, “Killing a chicken as an example to a fox doesn’t count?” She hadn’t taken Snow Fox for a few days of cooking in vain. Although the animal was not smart, it had a keen intuition and knew how to choose the most advantageous option.

Although the smarter the snow fox is, the more difficult it is to tame it. However, he somehow had an inexplicable feeling that Mu Yunyao had a plan, and it seemed like he had picked the right one.

Mu Yunyao raised her hand and put the Snow Fox on her shoulder as she carefully read the letter contents. The Snow Fox was so cute. Seeing she lowers her head, it couldn’t help but lower its head to join in the fun.

The Mistress and the Snow Fox had curved eyebrows and eyes that looked so similar, causing Yue Wang to look at them more than once. He felt as if feathers were gently floating down from his heart, and touching him felt a slight itch, causing his heart to tremble.

“Looks like giving him the peony was quite effective.” Mu Yunyao saw that Yue Wang was still in a daze after she finished speaking. She thought that he was thinking about something, so she couldn’t help but wait quietly at the side.

Yue Wang returned to his senses, involuntarily closed his eyes. The corners of his lips curled up: “This way, our next plan will be much more secure.”

“Yes. Did Fourth Master hear about the people who will send down to check the salt tax?”

“If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Governor Li Yuanyi of Liangjiang.”

“Surnamed Li?” Did the Li family members appear too frequently?

Yue Wang nodded slightly. “Li Yuanyi is a branch of the Li family, and the First Prince’s consort is currently from this branch. In all seriousness, the First Prince should address Li Yuanyi as his cousin.”

Mu Yunyao couldn’t help raising her lips and sighing in his heart. The entire Jiangnan will be bustling with noise and excitement, “The Emperor has sent people to check the salt tax, so it is natural that they want to clean up the salt tax and not let the private salt trade be too rampant. However, if they send all the Li family members to Jiangnan, it would be useless, right?”

Jiangnan had become the domain of the Li family. Why wouldn’t they take the opportunity to rein in the salt merchant and help the First Prince develop his wings?

“Imperial Father’s thoughts is meticulous, and his actions have always had his own rules and regulations. It is too difficult for outsiders to guess what he is thinking, but from the looks of it, Imperial Father should be somewhat dissatisfied with Eldest Brother.”

Mu Yunyao quickly thought of the recently sealed Cai Yue Pavilion. There was a rumor that the First Prince’s men had been active in the Imperial Court, hoping to help Cai Yue Pavilion obtain the Emperor’s reward and recognition. However, the results were not satisfactory.

“Fourth Master, do you know what the Governor of Liangjiang likes?”

Yue Wang was silent for a moment before his eyes moved slightly and flashed with a dark glint: “Beauty!”

Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but chuckle. “That’s true. How can there be men that don’t like beauty in this world? Being fond of beauty is much easier. Could Fourth Master lend Miss Ming Yin to me for some time to cultivate?”

“Ming Yin practices the technique of assassination. If you want to use it against Li Yuanyi, I’m afraid the effect will not be too good. I can find someone else to send it to you. “

“There’s no need. I think Miss Ming Yin is an excellent person. Furthermore, with her assassination skills, she can prevent Li Yuanyi from using force to take advantage of her.” With the plan in Mu Yunyao’s mind, she couldn’t help but relax a lot. She placed the Snow Fox on her lap and gently stroked its back.

Seeing Mu Yunyao’s determination, Yue Wang did not try to force it anymore. His gaze fell on the Snow Fox, who was squinting its eyes, “Have you decided what to name it?”

“I haven’t thought about it yet. Do you have any advice for me, Fourth Master?”

“Snow Fox’s body is light, and it is dashing through the snow as if it was flying. How about just calling Taxue?”

Mu Yunyao’s smile was brilliant. I have to say that the name that Yue Wang thought of really fit her heart. The ferret raised by the young lady of the Su family was called Baixue (Snow White), and the fox she had raised was named Taxue (Snow Tread), so wasn’t that the perfect way to express her state of mind?

“Ok. Thank you for giving the name, Fourth Master.”

Not long after Mu Yunyao returned home, Cai Qing walked in, “Your servant greets Miss.”

“Is there something wrong with the person you’re watching?”

“In response to Miss, one of the two midwives watched suddenly caught in a fire last night. She slept soundly at night, and the house was burnt and collapsed. They were unable to escape, causing the entire family to lose their lives. While the other midwife came back from the delivery, she drank a little wine and slipped into the water and drowned.”

Mu Yunyao nodded and indicated to pass the Jin Lan purse on one side.

Cai Qing quickly refused, “Miss, I can’t accept this.”

“Let’s take it. This time I used the children of Ci You Bureau to inquire about the news. I have limited ability, and I could not bring all of them here to live, but with their help, the reward they deserve will not be small. Spring Day has also come, and with these silver taels, you will help them buy some clothes.”

Cai Qing quickly knelt down to thank her: “Thank you for your great kindness, Miss.”

“There’s no need to be like this. It’s just a few taels of silver. In the future, if they find out any useful information, they can send it to Jin Xiu Garden. If it’s useful, then I will give them some reward.”

“Yes.”

In the evening, Liu Liang rushed back with news of Qi Ming. “Mistress. Wu Minzhi and her men are extremely careful. Even after confirming Qi Ming’s identity, they are still wary of him. Qi Ming and her men did not get any useful information. But from other people’s mouths, they can vaguely sense that there will be a large number of official salt was about to go through jingling city via Xijiang River in a few days.”

Mu Yunyao’s heart stirred, “Seeing that the Emperor is about to dispatch people to check the salt tax, there shouldn’t be a large amount of official salt sell at this time.” Every time the salt tax was verified, the salt merchants would reduce the amount of salt sold. After all, at this time, no one dares to do anything with the salt tax, which will increase the cost a lot more than usual.

“It’s just a vaguely heard news, which is not necessarily true.”

“There will be no such news coming out for no reason. Telling Qi Ming to be careful and do not rush to investigate. The more stable this time, the more confused people will be. He should have been preparing for Yi Bao Xuan for some time. How is his preparation?”

~ A TWO-COLORED FLOWER BLOOMED ~ 

 
He carefully lifted the peony that has half the height of a person onto the ground and gently removed the black silk cloth. Who knew that just as the silk cloth fell off, the peony within the flower pot shook for a moment before the flower bud slowly bloomed. Following that, a refreshing fragrance filled the air, which makes people feel refreshed.

“This… Could this be a flower demon?” 

Many people in the crowd cried out in astonishment. They had seen many peonies before, but this was the first time they had seen such a strange sight. The large flowers unexpectedly bloomed slowly in an instant. The flowers are purple with sweet-scented. People can’t help but admire it at a glance!

Wu Minzhi was shocked. He didn’t believe Qi Ming’s words when he said that the flower had a spirit and could choose their own masters. But now that Wu Minzhi had seen them with his own eyes, he felt that all the precious flowers he had collected were ordinary things. How could they compare to the spirit energy of the peony in front of him?

“Mister Qi’s gift is too valuable. I am truly flattered.”

However, Qi Ming shook his head directly. “Chief Wu, I’m really sorry. This flower didn’t acknowledge you as its master. It seems that there is still a destined person who hasn’t arrived, and I’m sorry that I’ve done so much to disturb you.” As he spoke, he motioned for the servants behind her to cover the peonies and ordered them to put them back in the box.

“Wait!” Wu Minzhi hurriedly stopped the boy in front of the peony flower. For people like him who love flowers like crazy, he finally got such a spiritual peony. It was even more exciting and happy than when he got married. At this time, if Qi Ming took away the peony in front of him, it would be like digging away his heart and liver. “Mister Qi, you can see that this flower blooms as soon as it sees me. Naturally, it proves that I am the one who is destined for it. As you have just said, a famous flower has a spirit and can choose its own master. Doesn’t it prove that it recognizes me as its master?” Wu Minzhi appreciates the peony in front of him. The more he looks at it, the more he thinks it is spiritual and lovely. Even the leaves feel quite different from other peonies.

Qi Ming still shook his head, “Chief Wu, look here....”

“There’s still a flower bud?” Under the shade of peony leaves, there was a flower bud that had yet to bloom. Moreover, its color seemed to be different from the purple peony that was previously open. “This....”

“Do you understand, Boss Wu? Only when two flower buds bloom at the same time will you be able to prove that this peony has taken you as its master. However, this is truly strange. Why is there only one flower bud blooming? Logically, it shouldn’t be?” Qi Ming frowned and puzzled.

However, Wu Minzhi’s eyes shone brightly, “Please wait a moment, Mister Qi. I will immediately call my wife out.”

“Huh?” Qi Ming was a little dumbfounded. People recognize Wu Minzhi for his love of flowers and plants, but he was even more famous for his love for his wife. Qi Ming heard that his wife was his distant cousin, but since she was young, her body was weak, and she has no way to give birth to children after marriage. However, Chief Wu still dotes on her and even doesn’t have a concubine room for her. Many people have sent beauties to Chief Wu. In the end, they had all returned in low spirits. Some of them had even angered him, making him feel rather unhappy.

Not long after that, they saw a delicate beauty that was supported by Wu Min. Her appearance was more refined than a flower, and her actions were as gentle as a willow leaf. They could not help but sigh: such a fragile beauty!

Wu Minzhi’s voice was low as he said, “Madam, this is the peony I’m talking about that it can choose its owner. Just as I stood in front of it, purple flowers were blooming. Let’s see. There was a flower bud left. Maybe it is related to my wife?”

Wu Minzhi’s wife greeted everyone with a voice as loud as a bird’s chirp, “Greeting to all the gentleman.”

“Madam, you are too polite.”

Wu Minzhi led his wife to the peony flower before bowing respectfully at the side, “Greetings, Madam. Please come up and have a look.”

Wu Minzhi’s wife smiled and nodded. She stepped forward and gently brushed away the leaves. Just as she approached, the peony that was initially closed immediately bloomed. For a moment, it was an indispensable beauty.

Wu Minzhi’s wife looked surprised. “This....”

The surrounding people exclaimed, “One purple, one gold, both are the kings of flowers. They are simply a perfect match!”

“That’s right. It’s a two-color flower, and it blooms at this time of year. It’s truly amazing.”

“The world is full of wonders. Today, I have truly gained experience. It turns out that flowers have intelligence as well....”

Wu Minzhi was overjoyed. “I knew this peony was here for you and me. Madam, please take care of your health and accompany me for a long time.”

Qi Ming at the side congratulated him. “It turns out that the owner of this peony plant is a loving couple. It seems like Chief Wu and Madam are its destined people.”

“Thank you, Mister Qi. This gift is too expensive. Please take a seat.”

No one in the hall dared to look down on Qi Ming anymore. He won the gratitude of Chief Wu, and his future is bound to be limitless. Not to mention that he had come from a mysterious background and even had obtained such a precious peony. In a few days, a new generation of salt merchants legend will emerge in Jiangnan.

In Jin Xiu Garden, Mu Yunyao dipped her finger in water and lightly flicked the peony’s petals. The peony unexpectedly bloomed in a flash, causing Jin Lan and Jin Qiao to cry out in alarm, “Miss, how did you do it? It’s really amazing!”

“It’s nothing but adding a little powder. I’ve seen someone who can change the color of the whole peony with just a little bit of water. That’s truly rare!”

Mu Yunyao placed the cup by her side and turned around to look at the dying Snow Fox in the cage. She took some dried meat from the side and passed it over, “Have you made up your mind? Do you want to follow me or starve to death?”

The Snow Fox lifelessly raised its head. Its current fur was dull and lifeless, and its pair of slightly red eyes did not recover the spirit it previously had. Smelling the aroma of dried meat, it involuntarily raised its head to look at Mu Yunyao’s hand. “Wu....”

Mu Yunyao’s eyes flashed with a smile. She opened the cage and took out the Snow Fox, stroking the fur on its back. “This place is no longer Western Guangdong. Even if I release you, you won’t be able to survive here. If you follow me, I will entertain you with delicious food.” The Snow Fox couldn’t understand Mu Yunyao’s words, but it was acutely aware of the trace of killing intent in her words. If the Sow Fox doesn’t let her wish come true, she will end the Sow Fox’s life on the spot. It couldn’t help but tremble and hesitantly turned its body over, revealing its furry belly, allowing Mu Yunyao to stroke its soft belly.

Steward Qin walked in. When he saw this scene, he could not help but exclaim in admiration, “The Snow Fox had tamed!” The belly was Snow Fox’s weakness. If it is not tamed, it will not dare to expose its belly. The smile in Mu Yunyao’s eyes widened. She reached out, tore a small piece of dried meat, and placed it next to the Snow Fox’s mouth. “The dried meat is too hard, so you should eat less. I’ll cook something delicious for you later.”

Incurable Chapter 4 Part 2

After eating, Liu Qianxiu returned to the Nanfeng apartment.

Nanfeng Apartment is a high-end residential area, only 15 minutes drive from Tang’er Hospital. When Liu Qianxiu returned, it was only nine o’clock, and the tall apartment building stood in the dark, with thousands of lights on.

After entering the password, Liu Qianxiu opened the door, and the floor lamp was on, sprinkling a thin layer of light on the room, mixed with the fragrance of agarwood, and the house was empty and cold.

It was quiet in the living room. Liu Qianxiu took a look before moving into the bedroom.

After showering and changing clothes, he returned to the living room. Liu Qianxiu’s living room is empty, without any furnishings, with only one wall with murals painted. The floor had covered with cotton and linen carpets. Also on one side is a short table and a table lamp. There were a few books on the table and an incense burner. The agarwood in the incense burner had burned out, and Liu Qianxiu lighted another one.

The white mist of agarwood curled up with the sparks, and the fragrance in the room became more intense. Liu Qianxiu sat cross-legged, turned on the lamp, took a book, and flipped through it.

He had just turned a page, and there was a rustling sound from the balcony at the end of the living room. His eyes narrowed, and the corners of his lips hooked.

After a while, his folded leg was trampled on by something soft, and then the weight increased, and a hot lump directly fell on his leg.

Liu Qianxiu’s gaze retracted from the book, and he glanced down. On his legs, there was a lump of furry pitch black. The moment he looked down, the thing moved, and a pair of pale golden eyes met his eyes.

“Meow~” It opened its mouth and called.

This lump is a black cat with light golden pupils.

Liu Qianxiu’s body did not move, but his eyebrows and eyes gradually softened. Xuanmao’s soft body touched him, reminding him of another “cat” he had seen today.

“I didn’t catch you, but you came by yourself.” The man touched it lightly, raised his eyes, and continued reading.

Li Nan’s phone call woke Mu Wan up. The hangover made her suffer from a splitting headache. She had a drink yesterday, went out to sober up, and ran into Liu Qianxiu, and she couldn’t remember what happened later. Li Nan started to speak ill and asked why she left without telling Mi Yu. After hearing that she was in the hospital, she said nothing more and hung up.

The cartwheel came from outside the ward, and then the door opened, and the little nurse wearing a nurse’s hat walked in with the medicine and said: “Take care of the wound.”

Mu Wan unbuttoned and took off the hospital gown, exposing the wound. The little nurse came over and gave her the medicine directly. Mu Wan was still a little confused when she woke up. The sudden pain made her whole body tight, groaned, and she woke up instantly.

“Why didn’t you think it hurt when you drank yesterday? Now that the wound is inflamed, you must stay in the hospital for another day.” The little nurse with a cold face.

She sneaked out yesterday and was discovered by Liu Qianxiu, and the nurses in the ward had to criticize her. Mu Wan smiled and apologized, and the little nurse looked better.

“Did doctor Liu send me back yesterday?” Mu Wan asked.

“That’s right.” The little nurse recalled the scene last night and looked at Mu Wan with admiration: “You are also a strange person. There are so many people chasing doctor Liu. It is the first time I saw someone hanging on him, and he didn’t let you go.”

Mu Wan said: “...”

“Where is doctor Liu?” Mu Wan asked.

“Oh, he is on vacation and won’t be back until next Monday.” said the little nurse.

When Liu Qianxiu sent Mu Wan back, Lin Wei naturally had some speculation, but Mu Wan was still uninterested. Lin Wei looked at her and said: “Liu Daochang sent you back.”

“It’s brought back. I am hospitalized but sneaking out to drink. In case something happens, even if the hospital is not responsible, Liu Daochang will be affected.” Mu Wan packed up her things and corrected Lin Wei. She was discharged from the hospital today. Lin Wei, who had been released earlier than her, came to pick her up.

Lin Wei let out a cry of “Oh.”

“But it did cause trouble for him. When I have time, I will invite him to dinner.” Mu Wan finished speaking, carrying the bag up, and said: “Let’s go.”

The two walked up to Lin Wei’s Cadillac, one after another. Lin Wei was petite and sweet-looking, but she liked this big SUV. Lin Wei is a rich second generation. Her parents were in the real estate business in Jingcheng. After graduating from college, her parents bought her a villa in Xiacheng. Lin Wei renovated it into a two-story studio, one floor for the office and the other for living quarters.

Before Lin Wei started the car, Mu Wan said, “Wait a minute.”

Lin Wei stopped, and Mu Wan leaned over and glanced at the car’s bottom, which was empty. She looked up and said, “It’s okay.”

“Looking for a cat? That calico cat was hit and killed by a car on the main road this morning.” When Mu Wan looked up, a cleaning lady holding a broom told Mu Wan in Xiacheng dialect.

Mu Wan felt cold, thinking of a plump calico cat held by the man. Although it was a bit dirty, it looked pretty. It was raining that day, and it got under her car because of the cold, but within a few days, it died.

Lin Wei looked over from the car and asked Mu Wan, “What’s dead?”

The aunt initially wanted to leave, but hearing her question, she turned her head and pointed to the bushes in the corner, and she said, “Oh, it has a litter of kittens.”

Mu Wan’s eyes moved, thinking of the round belly of the calico cat.

Tang’er Hospital is a private hospital. All the people who come to see doctors are rich. The hospital bushes were trimmed neatly. In front of the bushes, a Maserati and a Bentley were parked.

Mu Wan leaned over and bent over between the two cars. After a while, she straightened and turned around. Lin Wei saw the three baby kittens in her arms. The baby cats hadn’t opened their eyes, but the small ball moved in Mu Wan’s embrace.

No one can resist fluffy, and Lin Wei is no exception. She looked at the baby kitten worriedly: “They are so small. What should we do?”

“Take it home.” The little dumpling moved back and forth in her hand. Opened her mouth, then it said, “Meow.” Mu Wan’s heart can not say what it feels.

Lin Wei let out a surprised “Ah.”

Mu Wan looked up and said: “Haven’t you always wanted me to have a cat?”

She did say this, looking at the baby kitten in Mu Wan’s hand. Lin Wei was worried: “Can you take care of them?”

The kitten rubbed her hand softly. Mu Wan touched it gently with her thumb and said, “I will try.”

The author has something to say: 

Liu Daochang: I heard that you took my cat?
Mu Wan: Then you come to me and take it back~

Incurable Chapter 4 Part 1

Mu Wan was drunk.

Liu Qianxiu didn’t know the amount of her drink. But, judging from the strong smell of her body, she should have drunk a lot. She had her injury treated in the morning. Although there was nothing wrong with the checkup at noon, she could not drink alcohol if she had a new wound. Liu Qianxiu had told her that, but she obviously didn’t care.

He looked down at her and did not say much. Then, he took the phone and made a call.

“The patient in bed 13 is now in Qing Songxuan. She is drunk. I will send someone to bring her back. You will find someone to meet her at the door. After she arrives at the hospital, treat the wound well.”

Liu Qianxiu spoke straightforwardly like water drops falling from the eaves, with straight lines.

Mu Wan leaned against the wall and watched him finish the call quietly. Liu Qianxiu put away the phone and looked down at her. His dark eyes cut the light in the corridor.

“Let’s go.” Liu Qianxiu said.

Mu Wan’s mind was still confused, and her voice was still hoarse when she met the man’s sight.

“Whenever you encounter patients, do you take them back in person?”

Her head gradually tilted to one side as if it was too heavy as she spoke. Liu Qianxiu didn’t move her. Later, Mu Wan balanced herself and straightened her head back.

“Never encountered before.”

Mu Wan said, “Ah.” Her red lips opened slightly, and there were shards of light in her curved eyes.

“I’m the first one. What will happen afterward?”

Alcohol played a role in the body, and she became drunker and drunker. Her words were outrageous, and her words gradually became blurred.

“You are drunk.” Liu Qianxiu said.

“I’m not drunk.” The alcohol numbs her cerebellum. Mu Wan balances her body, and her eyes are determined, “I still... I haven’t shown myself yet.”

Listening to her drunken words, Liu Qianxiu still looked calm.

“Do you want to see me... in my original form?” Mu Wan’s eyes opened wide.

Mu Wan laughed with a sly on her palm-sized little face, leaned forward, and grabbed Liu Qianxiu’s shirt. She rubbed the rough and thick texture of his clothes against her palm.

Liu Qianxiu’s eyes moved.

The light portrayed the man’s silhouette deeper, but Mu Wan couldn’t see it. She chuckled, and the heat gushed down the side of the man’s neck. She tightened her arms and hugged his thin and hard waist.

Mu Wan’s hot cheeks pressed against the man’s chill chest. She squinted her eyes comfortably. Her voice was soft and delicate. She said, “I have become a...cat.”

Liu Qianxiu returned to the room, where Mei Yaozhi was playing a game and waiting for him. Mei Yaozhi was very handsome. He has a typical appearance of fresh meat, big eyes, and a youthful feeling like a younger brother. Seeing Liu Qianxiu return, he took his mobile phone and asked, “Where have you been?”

The two had an appointment to eat together. Liu Qianxiu said just now that he would go out for something, which would take a long enough time.

“I ran into a patient and took her back to the hospital.” Liu Qianxiu said briefly after sitting down.

Mei Yaozhi thought he had heard something wrong, so he glanced at Liu Qianxiu, who was still cold-faced. With the bamboo chopsticks in his hand, Mei Yaozhi asked: “Female patient?”

“Yeah.” Liu Qianxiu responded indifferently.

“Wow~” Mei Yaozhi exclaimed. He didn’t expect Liu Qianxiu to return female patients to the hospital during non-working hours.

“Is it beautiful?” Mei Yaozhi asked secretly.

Liu Qianxiu raised his eyes. His eyes were calm, and Mei Yao subconsciously shrank back. The two are cousins ​​and of the same generation. But Mei Yaozhi feels with his elders when he’s with Liu Qianxiu. He doesn’t know whether it’s because of Taoism or Liu Qianxiu’s personality.

In fact, Liu Qianxiu is only two years older than him.

Knowing that Liu Qianxiu didn’t want to talk more, Mei Yaozhi automatically switched the topic.

“Are you going to Qingyuan Mountain tomorrow?”

Liu Qianxiu spends four days a month visiting Qingyuan on Qingyuan Mountain to clean up, usually at the end of each month. This time, Liu Qianxiu went early because of his grandfather, the former Patriarch of the Liu family, whose third death anniversary is approaching. The Liu family is also aristocratic and influential. When that time comes, all the Liu family will come to Xiacheng to worship, and they will be busy.

“Yeah,” Liu Qianxiu replied indifferently. “Uncle Cai will come here early on this third death anniversary.” Cai Qingliang is the Chief Secretary of the Liu family. He mainly helps Liu Qianxiu summarize the work of the Liu Family Corporation. He usually lives in Northern Europe, where the Liu Family Corporation headquarters is.

“Has there been a movement over Liu Qingyuan?” Mei Yaozhi’s expression was slightly restrained.

“A Song Dynasty flower and bird auctioned at the Austrian auction on the 12th. After the successful transaction, the buyer said it was a fake.” Liu Qianxiu’s mood did not fluctuate.

Mei Yaozhi snorted and laughed: “They started.”

Liu Qianxiu’s eyes darkened slightly. He put down the bamboo chopsticks, looked up at Mei Yao, and said, “You help me to check someone.”

Mei Yaozhi is the second son of the Mei family. He has an older brother above him and doesn’t need to worry about the Mei family’s affairs. He lives very smartly. He is either lying down or hanging out with his friends on weekdays. He is the rich second generation of Xiacheng’s first echelon, one of the Four Young Masters of Xiacheng, and his circle and contacts are wide.

“Who?” Mei Yaozhi asked.

“Mu Wan.”

“... The female patient today.”

“Yeah.”

“...”

Mei Yaozhi has a close relationship with Liu Qianxiu, but Liu Qianxiu has a weak temperament and is very indifferent to him. Sometimes, Mei Yaozhi thinks about whether he will always be alone and become immortal. But today, he returned the female patient to the hospital and asked him to help people check. Will it be a problem?

~ A FAMOUS FLOWER CHOOSES ITS OWNER, ASK FOR DIRECTIONS ~ 

 
After contacting Wu Minzhi this time, Mu Yunyao decided to let Qi Ming come forward. After all, she made too much noise in Jingling City. If she rushed to intervene in the salt tax, it would easily arouse other people’s defenses. Qi Ming was a new face. Moreover, Yi Bao Xuan that he prepared was about to open, and it was still fighting against the name of Ni Yun Fang. No matter how others guessed, it wouldn’t connect to her. Qi Ming changed into the clothes that Mu Yunyao had prepared and swaggered into Yangzhou City along with the guards that Yue Wang had sent him. At this moment, Yangzhou City was bustling with noise and excitement. Because of Wu Minzhi’s birthday, the entire city seemed to have come to life. People carrying gifts on all the streets were in an endless stream. There were even some people who were in an uproar because of the order of entering the residence.

When Qi Ming arrived, a long line had already formed in front of the residence. As they saw him swaggering in, many of the people who sent gifts muttered to themselves, “Who is this guy? he doesn’t even have to line up.”

The people who can appear here are not stupid, and no one rushes to ask questions. Instead, they use the time when the next person enters the residence and exchanges famous posts. Qi Ming is full of smiles, and he seems to be very gentle to people, but his action and eyes are full of arrogance, which makes people even more afraid to underestimate him.

Soon, the servants who had entered the residence returned and greeted him respectfully, “Greetings, Mister Qi. Our Master invites you in.” Qi Ming nodded his head proudly, looked at the people around him, and walked into the Wu Residence slowly. The posts that he had held this time were prepared specially by Yue Wang. His identity came from the Capital, and he was vaguely related to the people in the First Prince’s estate. Regardless of whether it was real or fake, at least once such identity had been taken out, no one dared to underestimate it.

After they entered the residence, Wu Minzhi personally went out to greet them.

In front of him, Wu Minzhi appeared to be in her forties. His face was pale and did not have a gentle aura. His movements were graceful, and one could not see his iron-blooded wrist, which was rampant throughout his cross-strait business.

“Greetings, Chief Wu.” Qi Min bends over and salutes, and his action is too thorough. However, there was no hint of flattery or fawning on it. Instead, there was a trace of imperceptible arrogance in his tones.

Wu Minzhi saw his expression and thought for a while. “This must be Mister Qi. There’s no need to be so courteous. Come in and have some tea.” There had been many of these posts in the past years. But all of the cards that Qi Min had sent were made of pure gold, and the engraved handwriting is bold and powerful. At first glance, one could tell that they had come from the hands of many people. Moreover, what was even weirder was that the handwriting on it seemed to be familiar to him.

Only after thinking for a long time did he suddenly remember that he had seen this handwriting back in the Capital.

At this time, the hall was already full of great salt merchants from all over the place. Each one of them was a tyrant from all over the country. If they were to add up all of them together, just a cough would make the entire Jiangnan tremble. Although the merchants are currently in the lower ranks, the influence of these people is inseparable from the officialdom, and no one dares to underestimate their power.

After entering the hall, Qi Ming did not have the slightest timidity on his face. He looked around in a remarkably generous manner and greeted the crowd naturally. “I have long heard that Jiangnan salt merchant has an excellent demeanor. Today, it is really an eye-opener for me to see you all. I pay my respects to all of you, gentlemen.”

His attitude made everyone puzzled. Moreover, Wu Minzhi went out to see him in person, so they did not dare to be careless. They all stood up and greeted him, “You’re too courteous. May I know where you are from, sir?”

“This humble man is born ordinary and is not worth mentioning.” Qi Ming hurriedly shook his head. “I came in a hurry today and didn’t have the time to bring any precious gifts. I heard that Chief Wu loved flowers and plants. I happened to find a peony, and it was quite rare. I borrowed flowers to present the Buddha  and wished Chief Wu prosperity and safety.”

“Peony?” Most of the salt merchants who are present know Wu Min’s hobbies. Most of the gifts that he receives are flowers and plants, but the ones that could really move Wu Minzhi were few in number. Hearing that the gift that Qi Min brought up was the peony and thinking about the current season, he was a little disappointed in my heart. What is there to admire about peonies this time?

However, Qi Ming didn’t care about the gazes of everyone around him, directly clapping his hands for the servants to bring his gifts up.

The servant brought up a wooden chest, which looked more than half the height of a person. It was made of common camphor wood and looked quite ordinary.

The surrounding people had strange expressions on their faces. They had seen many people give peonies, but this was the first time they had seen that people give a peony using a box. Some of them even let out a chuckle, causing the atmosphere in the hall to grow even weirder. Qi Ming did not mind at all, and his smile was still the same: “The flower that I sent is not ordinary, it can find its owner by itself, so it’s better for you to bring it out personally. The flowers have spirit, and if Chief Wu can’t get its approval, I can only endure the pain and bring it back to find someone who really loves flowers.”

Wu Min frowned. Today was his birthday. Qi Min just came in a hurry, and what he sent was just a pot of peony, which made him unhappy. Right now, this person had made him bring out the flowers personally. He also hinted that he wasn’t the real flower lover, which made him feel disgusted.

“Mister Qi, since you’re the one who gave them to me, it should be you who bring the flowers out.” Hearing Wu Minzhi’s words, Qi Ming frowned and even directly raised his hand to signal Xiao Si to lift the box: “It seems that the gift I gave didn’t enter the eyes of Chief Wu. “It seems that the gift I gave didn’t enter the eyes of Chief Wu. If it is so, I took the liberty to interrupt and leave. I thought you were a real flower lover, yet you didn’t even know about the selection of rare flowers. Haha....” As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards the door.

Wu Minzhi was stunned. The expression in his eyes changed for a moment before he got up and chased after him, “Mister Qi, please wait.”

Qi Ming stood at the same place, but the smile on his face became a lot fainter. “I wonder what advice Chief Wu has?”

“I don’t dare to teach you. I was rude to you just now, and I hope Mister Qi doesn’t mind. Mister Qi came as a guest, and if I let you leave like this, it would be because I didn’t receive you properly!” He still hadn’t figured out his identity. If I let him leave like this, there will be bad things that happen in the future.

As the expression on Qi Ming’s face softened, a few more people came out from the hall and spoke with a smile, inviting them to return.

When all of them returned to the hall, people gaze fixated on the box. They wanted to see what it meant to be the flower to choose its owner. If the person in front of them is merely bluffing, they will teach him a lesson.

“Chief Wu, please open the box and invite the peony out.”

Wu Minzhi nodded. He opened the box with some curiosity and discovered a layer of black silk cloth covering inside. He could not help but secretly shake his head. It was really bluffing.

However, Qi Ming was so nervous. He repeatedly warned Wu Minzhi from the side, “Chief Wu, be careful. Don’t hurt Mu Danzhi’s flower in any way.”

“Don’t worry, Mister Qi, I’ve been taking care of flowers and plants for so many years. I still have this sense of discretion....” Before Wu Minzhi could finish his sentence, he froze on the spot. His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the peony in front of him. “This....”

~ THE COLLAPSE OF CAI YUE PAVILLION ~ 

 
Mu Yunyao nodded and brought over a teacup by the side. After taking a sip, her hand slipped for some reason as she poured the remaining tea onto the agreement. Instantly, the ink on it turned blurry, and it was no longer possible to see what the handwriting was.

Tan Lin’s eyelids jumped. He immediately reached out to grab the written agreement, but the paper stuck in the water, and he could not pick it up. “Why are you so careless? Prepare some brush and paper. I will write a new copy right away.”

“I’m afraid the paper and brush in Jin Xiu Garden have all used up.”

“How is it possible for paper and brush all used up? Are you kidding me?” Tan Lin suddenly stopped moving. He finally noticed that something wasn’t right and stared fixedly at Mu Yunyao.

Mu Yunyao chuckled and casually threw the teacup on the ground. “Aren’t you playing with me, Lord Tan?” He even said that he would take all the credit to go to Ni Yun Fang. If she agreed, Tan Lin would push her to be a scapegoat! Did he really think that she was as easy to coax as a child?

Tan Lin suddenly raised his head and looked at Mu Yunyao angrily. “Don’t forget, when you were imparting the embroidery needle technique, the contract you signed was still with me!”

Mu Yunyao didn’t care in the slightest. “At that time, in order to avoid leaving any traps on the paper, you wrote the contents of the written agreement. The words on it were naturally written by you as well.”

“You left a handprint below with your name!”

Tan Lin took out the written agreement with trembling fingers. After opening it, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes and see that the place where Mu Yunyao’s name initially signed under the written agreement had already become a blur. Even the seal of her hand had already melted, and it was hard to see a single trace of it. “You little bitch, I’ll kill you!” He was forced to the point where he had no other choice, and now Tan Lin only wants to drag Mu Yunyao down with him.

Without knowing, Liu Liang had already appeared behind Mu Yunyao. Seeing Tan Lin approach Mu Yunyao with a crazed expression, he directly kicked him to the ground. The longsword in his hand was out of its sheath as he charged towards Tan Lin’s throat.

Mu Yunyao stood up and carefully arranged the hem of her dress, “Lord Tan, you covered the sky with one hand in Huai’an City and helped your son Tan Bawang cover up his crimes. I wonder how many women he has ruined so many. How many have come to an end like today? Isn’t it because of the routine?”

“I didn’t do anything. You don’t have to spit on me!”

“What have you done or haven’t done? Save it in prison to explain. Liu Liang, see the guests out.”

“Mu Yunyao, how are you any better than me? You bitch, you black-hearted bitch! As long as I don’t die, I will definitely kill you!”

Steward Qin stood by the door and ordered with a cold face, “It is outrageous to make such a commotion in the morning. Men, chase this madman out!”

Yu Yi came forward with the guards and tossed Tan Lin out of Jin Xiu Garden.

Mu Yunyao bowed to Steward Qin, “I’ll have to trouble Shopkeeper Qin.”

“Young lady is too polite. If you meet another lunatic like him in the future, You can tell me to throw them outside the courtyard so as not to cause too much trouble.”

“Alright.”

Steward Qin glanced at Liu Liang and could not help but smile as he said, “There is only Liu Liang by Miss Mu’s side. Isn’t that a bit too little? If Miss Mu continues to order me around, it will be hard to avoid getting busy. How about I send a few more people to follow you?”

Liu Liang’s eyes landed on Steward Qin lightly. The chilliness in them was exceptionally turbulent.

Steward Qin was still smiling and did not put him in his eyes at all. Compared to Wang Ye, this Liu Liang was still far from enough. However, it was still a potential threat. If he could eliminate him in advance, there would be less complicated.

However, Mu Yunyao shook her head. Compared with the people introduced by Steward Qin, she believed in Liu Liang even more: “Many thanks for Steward Qin’s good intentions! However, Liu Liang is enough for me. I don’t have anything I need to send him. If I need anything in the future, I will definitely come to find you.”

“Alright.”

In the next few days, there was a storm in Jingling City. The Rising Cai Yue Pavillion, which had been thriving day in and day out, collapsed to the ground with a government seal placed on it. No one was allowed to approach it.

The ladies of each residence had ordered people to take out the booklet of beauties from the Cai Yue Pavilion and burn them. Even the custom-made clothes from them had destroyed, leaving not a single trace behind.

All sorts of rumors began to spread, and eventually, they all converged together. “Miss, this servant heard the news in the city that Tan Lin, the owner of Cai Yue Pavilion, had secretly collected money in the name of teaching the embroidery needle technique. He even had sold some old and low-grade quality cloth to the people, which had a terrible impact. Moreover, in Huai’an City, Tan Lin had colluded with the local officials to help Tan Bawang burying crime and forced many ladies of Huai’an City to death. Now that the matter had opened, many of the victims have reported it one after another. They are asking for justice from the authorities.”

Mu Yunyao smiled and took a piece of dried meat to tease the Snow Fox in the cage. “These rumors could put together so quickly, must be someone to guide it. No matter how it passed around in the city, our days are still going to go on. Go and get prepare. Ni Yun Fang will be busy.”

Jin Qiao was a bit aggrieved: “At the beginning, those ladies and ladies were chasing after Cai Yue Pavilion and did not even pay any attention to Ni Yun Fang’s opening. Now, how can they have the nerve to come back here and buy clothes?”

Mu Yunyao saw that the Snow Fox in the cage still refused to give in and directly threw the dried meat out of its reach. She clapped her hands and said, “I don’t want them to feel embarrassed. We’re opening the door to do business for silver, not for face. As long as they’re willing to come, I’m willing to sell clothes to them. After all, who can go against silver?”

The face of those wealthy families was worth more than anything, but if it wasn’t worth much, then they could rip it off and stamp their feet on the ground in the blink of an eye. Often, all they saw was the word ‘benefit. After all, they cant spend the face like silver.

As expected, the next day, as soon as Ni Yun Fang opened, the guest began to flow back and forth.

Mu Yunyao distributed Ni Yun’s beauty booklet and received many replies the same day. Her words filled with praise, so much so that she looked a little embarrassed.

She stayed in Ni Yun Fang for the entire day and helped to entertain the more important Ladies. After settling the affairs there, she pushed the matter to Su Qing and Ding Yuelan.

In the greenhouse, there were a few peonies that were ready to bloom. The flower bud was so big, and one could vaguely see layers upon layers of petals inside, which were remarkably gorgeous.

Mu Yunyao carefully planted the peony in a flower pot and had someone bring a pot over to Yue Wang.

Yue Wang looked at the peony in the pot, and a smile flashed in his eyes. This peony was the most flourishing one in the greenhouse. Previously, he had hinted at Mu Yunyao several times with his words that he hoped to admired by this peony. He never expected that she would really send it over for him.

“Fourth Master, may I trouble you to arrange for a few men to escort Peony to Wu Minzhi’s residence.”

“Yes, I will get someone to arrange it.”

~ TAN LIN’S SCHEME ~ 

The news about Cai Yue Pavilion had already spread like wildfire. Some officials even went to the Emperor several times to speak up. Some of them claimed that the people of Cai Yue Pavilion were worthy of the Emperor to encourage merchants to do more things for the benefit of the ordinary people. Others expressed that the people of Cai Yue Pavilion stirs up people’s minds and had ulterior motives and should send out orders to investigate as soon as possible.

However, after the Emperor received the imperial edict, he remains silent. He waited until this news came over before becoming enraged, directly ordering to investigate Cai Yue Pavilion.

Within Jingling City, Li Munian put down the letter in his hand and sighed as he shook his head. “This was originally a good thing, but since publicized was too strong, it eventually led to disaster.”

Lady Zhou placed the teacup in his hand. “Master, I am somewhat puzzled. Ni Yun Fang had previously taught the embroidery needle technique and was also loved and respected by the citizens of Jingling City. Why would the Emperor issue an order to recognize it? But when it came to Cai Yue Pavilion, it provokes the Emperor’s wrath to ordered to investigate and deal with it.”

“Someone is trembling as he kneels in front of you, hoping that you would give a bite of food to eat. If you throw a bean at him, he would be grateful. Would you care about that?”

“It’s just a bean. What’s there to care about?”

“What if someone is so arrogant and grab something to eat from your bowl?”

Lady Zhou frowned, “Then why didn’t you chop off his claws?”

Li Munian let out a young laugh, “The influence of Ni Yun Fang only affected in Jingling City, and after that, it kept to itself. It even made a booklet of the embroidery needle technique and offered it to the Emperor. The Emperor, even more so, admired the New Year’s gifts she gave. All she did was within Jingling City and gave the majority of the credit to the loyal Emperor’s officials. She didn’t dare to overstep the rules and show the slightest disrespect. The Emperor naturally doesn’t care too much about this. However, Cai Yue Pavilion spread all over the country and has been sought after by the common people. Its reputation has even surpassed that of the Imperial Court. Do you think the Emperor can’t tolerate him?”

“But the news of Cai Yue Pavilion’s matter had already spread far and wide for a long time ago. Why is it only now that we have given the order to deal with it?”

“Your Majesty’s thoughts are unpredictable, so who can guess correctly?” The Emperor had been silent for a long time, but many people in the Imperial Court could not hold themselves back. They jumped out to rope in Cai Yue Pavilion and even helped clear the joints between the upper and lower levels. Even several princes participated in it. How could he not mind? However, after this incident, the people in the court would likely be in peace for a long time.

The next day, when the sky had just begun to brighten, Jin Qiao knocked on Mu Yunyao’s door. “Miss, the owner of Cai Yue Pavilion, Tan Lin, is currently outside begging for an audience. He said that if he couldn’t see the young lady, he will run to death at the gate of Jin Xiu Garden.”

Mu Yunyao opened her eyes, and she couldn’t help but chuckle when she heard this. “Since that’s the case, then let’s go meet him. You get people to lead him and sit in Bu Xian Luo. I’ll go there after I change my clothes.”

On the table, the Snow Fox heard the commotion and immediately stood up, looking at Mu Yunyao with a guarded expression.

Mu Yunyao didn’t have the mood to care about it. She changed her clothes, washed her face, and rinsed her mouth before coming to Jin Xiu Garden.

In the hall, Tan Lin’s face was gloomy and uneasy. A trace of hatred flashed in his eyes when he saw Mu Yunyao walk in. “Miss Mu, I really didn’t expect that your face was so beautiful, yet your thoughts were so vicious!”

Mu Yunyao casually sat in a chair to the side and then ordered Jin Lan, “Go brew a pot of tea for Lord Tan. Let him drink a cup of tea to vent his anger.”

“Oh, I don’t dare to drink the tea here. Who knows if there’s any problem with the tea?”

Mu Yunyao didn’t care about Tan Lin’s attitude. “I wonder why Lord Tan came to see me so early in the morning?”

“Why are you pretending to be confused when you’ve reached this point? Back then, you promised me that you would teach me how to use the embroidery needle technique, but why did you go back on your word and secretly harm me?”

Tan Lin was full of anger, wishing to kill Mu Yunyao with his eyes and falling from the clouds into the mire overnight. The feeling was more uncomfortable than killing him.

“What is Lord Tan saying? Why can’t I understand them?”

“Don’t understand? Then I will explain it to you so that you can understand! First, you set up a trap for my son and brought me to Jingling City to meet you. Afterward, you used the merits of imparting the embroidery needle technique to make me not pursue the responsibility of that lowly slave girl, Cai Qing, so I naturally wouldn’t trace it back to you. When I started to teach the embroidery needle technique, you actually dedicated the embroidery stitches to the Emperor. This way, you were robbing the credit from the Emperor. How could my life still exist?”

Mu Yunyao’s face showed doubt. “What Lord Tan said was wrong, I didn’t ask your son to come to Jingling City, and I didn’t ask him to take liberties with Cai Qing. As for the things that you said after that, I had no idea at all. I didn’t understand what you were talking about at all.”

“You … you won’t admit that something happened. Did you forget about the matter of teaching the embroidery needle technique? We have written a written agreement!” Tan Lin’s expression was sinister, “If something happens to me, you won’t be able to escape either!”

Mu Yunyao lowered her eyes in silence. Tan Lin thought that his words worked, and his tone became even more anxious. “Miss Mu, the embroidery needle techniques Cai Yue Pavilion had imparted were all done by you. Once the Emperor finds out about it, the one who bore the brunt of it would be you. Now, we have to think carefully about how we should settle this matter. Perhaps, there are still some things that we should consider that there’s a chance for redemption.”

“Then, what does Lord Tan think we should do?”

“According to the agreement, every time I were to impart the embroidery needle technique to the people, I would explain that it was the merits of Ni Yun Fang. The Emperor is very observant, and I think he would be able to see through it. The only solution to this problem is to record all of this into Ni Yun Fang. It is possible to let things calm down.”

Mu Yunyao raised her eyes and doubtfully asked, “If it recorded as Ni Yun Fang’s credit and the Emperor won’t pursue the matter?”

Tan Lin hurriedly nodded. “That’s right. Think about it, the golden signboard of Ni Yun Fang, personally bestowed by the Emperor. It is equivalent to the prestige of the Emperor. As long as the credit goes to Ni Yun Fang, it would be equivalent to indirectly handing over the credit to the Emperor. When the Emperor is happy, he will reward you again.”

Mu Yunyao’s forehead slightly creased as if she was carefully considering something.

Tan Lin could not help but continue to persuade her, “Miss Mu, what else is there to think? Because it involves a lot of things and also requires a lot of time to make the arrangements for the transfer of the credit to Ni Yun Fang, you have to make the decision as soon as possible.”

“Even though you said that. I still have some doubts.”

“There’s no doubt about this. Miss, please take a look. I’ve already brought the agreement, and as long as you sign the agreement, I can use it to push Ni Yun Fang to a higher level. In a few years, it might even be possible to suppress the name of Cai Yue Pavilion, so why not do it?”

Mu Yunyao carefully looked at the agreement in front of her and couldn’t help but slightly nod her head. “The content in the agreement seems to be extremely good …” Joy flashed across Tan Lin’s eyes: “Since that’s the case, then lady should hurry up and sign it. I’ll start making the arrangements overnight.”

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.”
