Incurable Chapter 5 Part 2

When Mu Wan received a call from Liu Qianxiu, she had just gotten down from the wire sling. After the rain stopped for several days, the air was full of steam evaporated by the sun and was humid and hot. Mu Wan stood in the shade in front of the city wall, wearing a man’s ancient costume, her face flushed with heat.

“Hello.” As Mu Wan spoke, her forehead was a little itchy. She scratched it, and sweat ran down her fingertips.

“I’m Liu Qianxiu.” The man’s voice was still so deep, like a spring on a mountain, which sounded refreshing.

It’s a little strange.

Today is Monday, and the little nurse said he would return to the hospital on Monday. Mu Wan remembered that when discharged from the hospital, she told Lin Wei she would treat Liu Qianxiu to dinner when he returned. But as soon as she was filming, she was too busy to remember.

“You’re back. I’m sorry for the last time, and thank you very much.” Mu Wan squatted down. The heat in her costume rushed up, and her face became warmer. She smiled and said politely, “I’ve recovered from my injury. How about I treat you to dinner after work today?”

“No.” The rejection was to the point.

The smile on Mu Wan’s face was like the clouds curling up in the sky. Her tone was still bright, and she asked straightforwardly, “Oh, why do you call me?”

Liu Qianxiu sat in the office, which was so quiet that only the crisp sound of paper could be heard. His tone was calm and soft yet concise.

“The cats.”

When he said this, Mu Wan understood. He is so familiar with the calico cat that he probably knows that it is pregnant. After returning from vacation, Liu Qianxiu found the calico cat dead. The surveillance video revealed that she had taken the calico cat’s kitten away.

But when they first met, Mu Wan asked him if the cat belonged to him, and he said that the calico cat was not his cat. Then, he had no right to take the calico cat’s kitten.

The tongue tip touched the gum slightly, and Mu Wan smiled, calm and breezy.

“Oh? Which one do you want?”

Her voice was like a flower. The petals were tight when she answered the phone. Then, the petals opened gradually. Exuding to the unique fragrance of women, she became a cat again.

Her voice in his ear overlaps with the memory in the corridor. The woman’s soft body was in his arms. Her slender arms tightened, and her body was steaming from alcohol. She was drunk and forgot about this, but Liu Qianxiu still remembers.

The air conditioner finally blew up one page of the notebook at hand. The A4 paper was thin and white, with a printed form. The fonts are neat and contain the name, telephone number, and address.

Liu Qianxiu didn’t answer Mu Wan’s question, so the deputy director called for filming. Mu Wan recovered his mood, and her voice returned to normal.

“I am sorry, doctor Liu. The cat belongs to me, and I can’t give it to you. If there is nothing wrong, I will go to work first.”

Then, she hung up the phone.

When Liu Qianxiu went to work in the afternoon, the little nurse and the head nurse met, and the topic became the best deal in Taobao’s mid-year promotion. He never mentioned the calico cat again. After sighing, the death of the calico cat was like a rime on the tree. It fell into people’s memory silently like snow with no trace.

He had an operation in the afternoon. After signing, Liu Qianxiu left work at the appointed time. He got into the car, the car started, got out of the hospital, and disappeared in the traffic jam coming home from work.

It was sunny this morning. The asphalt ground has returned to dry and hot after being exposed to the sun for a day, but the soil ground is only half-dried. The dark brown soil has grown some weeds and is full of vitality under the shade of triangle maple.

This community is dilapidated in comparison to Nanfeng Apartments. This community is dilapidated in comparison to Nanfeng Apartments. The sun was clear and shining through the trees’ tops against the mottled walls, giving off a sense of decay. The electric poles stand against the wall, and the wires on the rough floor are straight and complicated, connecting one building after another. Birds occasionally landed on the aerial antenna hanging between the two buildings.

Liu Qianxiu walked into the first building in the second row of the community. The corridor was very dark, and a sense of mildew and dampness hadn’t dried. The white paint on the handrails had fallen off, and the mottled rust fell like spots on quail eggshells.

The house here is too old. The entrance is a staircase, and the basement is beside the stairs. The basement entrance was dark and quiet, with some debris piled next to it. The stair steps are not high, the platform’s edges are smooth, and we no longer know how many people stepped on them.

The corridor is very cramped, and a small window on the platform connects the two floors. The small window was washed clean after a few days of rain. Sunlight enters through the glass, cutting the ground into different light pieces.

As Liu Qianxiu approached the third floor, he heard the sound of the door opening. He stood on the platform between the second and third floors. He lifted his head and looked up.

Mu Wan was standing on the stairs. She wore a green waistcoat and denim shorts, her hair tied up, revealing her white and straight collarbone. On the slender neck, the palm-sized face is charming and bright. But her brows have slightly frowned. After seeing Liu Qianxiu, her brows stretched a little bit.

The man stood in the backlight. His facial features are great under his cold white skin, and his temperament is light. He stood in the narrow and cramped corridor, like porcelain buried on a sunken ship under the sea. With only a corner illuminated by light, it was difficult to hide his nobility.

Mu Wan looked at him. Her red lips moved slightly, and her voice echoed in the corridor.

“Doctor Liu, are you looking for me?”

Without answering her question, Liu Qianxiu’s eyes focused on her arms, a turquoise blanket wrapped in a black and white baby cat.

“What’s wrong with it?” Liu Qianxiu asked.

Mu Wan lowered her head and looked at Zhongfen in her arms, her lips pressed slightly, and her voice lowered.

“It’s not so good.”

The author has something to say:
Mu Wan: Oh? Which one do you want?
Liu Daochang: The unbehaved one.

Incurable Chapter 5 Part 1

Before returning home, Mu Wan and Lin Wei first went to the pet store. She is raising a cat for the first time and is clueless. The shop assistant enthusiastically recommended it. Mu Wan took all the orders and bought two large boxes.

When the items are ready, Lin Wei takes the shop assistant to load them into the car. After locking the door, she approached Mu Wan, who was checking out.

Lin Wei rested her arms on the cashier counter, watched Mu Wan swipe her card, and said with emotion: “You haven’t gotten married yet, but you will be a mother.”

The cashier was a little girl and laughed at what she said. “What’s the matter? Everyone in our shop has cats.”

“Do you like it so much?” Lin Wei asked.

“Yeah.” The little girl smiled, her eyes sparkling as if she were thinking of something, “Your cat is still young now. But when it grows up, they squat at the door waiting for you if you go out and come back home. Meowing and welcoming you home. And with pets, you are not alone anymore.”

“The three of mine are still young.” Mu Wan said, thinking about the scene where three cats squatted at the door, waiting for her in the future. She couldn’t empathize with her. She hasn’t been waiting long and is still fascinated by raising a cat for the first time.

“The cat grows so fast.” The shop assistant said, “It can run around in less than two months.”

Mu Wan took the bill, smiled, and thanked him. Then, she got into the car with Lin Wei.

After Lin Wei sent Mu Wan home, her colleagues in the studio called Lin Wei away. Mu Wan put the kitten on the sofa and separated the two boxes. She took out the cat nest and made the goat milk powder. After arranging the kittens properly, she went into the bathroom.

After two days of not returning, the bathroom was a mess.

The water stains mixed with blood on the ground had dried up and floated on the floor. Mu Wan lives alone. Although she was taken to hospital in an ambulance when injured. But after the wound healed, she still had to clean up the mess herself.

Mu Wan turned on the faucet and wet the ground with water first. The water flowed fast and intensely, hitting the ground with a popping sound.

In such a loud voice, Mu Wan heard a soft cat cry. Then, she turned off the faucet instantly. There is still dripping water, which hits the ground with no sound.

“Meow~” This time, Mu Wan heard it, really.

She seemed overwhelmed by the water and hurried out of the bathroom.

She put the kitten in the bedroom, in the corner at the end of her bed. Because the kitten is so tiny, she bought the small cat nest with three small stuffed balls. They are still as big as the universe, like three little stars twinkling inside.

The little guys haven’t opened their eyes yet. After hearing the sound of footsteps, they closed their eyes and raised their heads. They press each other and try to climb up the cushion, seeming to be looking for something.

Mu Wan took the bottle and filled it with goat milk powder. The little guys who had just eaten started sucking again with the pacifier.

Are you going to eat much?

Mu Wan took the pacifier aside.

The three little guys were meowing and scrambling to climb up again. They were unhappy.

Mu Wan quickly put the pacifier over again.

Mu Wan was in a hurry, so squatting at first and then simply sat on the ground after the noise. The floor was cold, but Mu Wan was sweating.

Three cats have the same mother, but they are totally different. One is orange and orange-white, and the other is black and white. The orange has a big head and looks more powerful. It should be the eldest. The orange and white one has a white face and body, with only two orange spots on the back and tail. As for the black and white one, the color was mixed on the head. It separated from the forehead to the bottom as if combing the split hair.

Mu Wan arranged the order for the three kittens and named them: the oldest is Datou (Big Head), the second is Ertong (Two Barrels), and the third is Zhongfen (Middle Point).

After giving them names, Mu Wan put away the milk bottle. The three kittens, with round bellies, were well-fed, lying with their heads up and meowing. Mu Wan put her hands inside the cat’s nest, and the three little guys sniffed her first, then slowly put their heads on her hands and fell asleep.

The three small heads feel warm because Mu Wan’s hand inside the cat nest is very soft.

The light outside the window is getting brighter, and it’s sunny. Mu Wan feels that something grows quietly somewhere in her heart. She looks down at the three cats. The scene of the three kittens waiting for her suddenly appears in her mind.

She was like them. She was born without a father, and after her mother died, she was alone.

“But you are much luckier than me.” Mu Wan moved his fingers slightly, and her eyelashes quivered, “I don’t have anything, but you have siblings, and I am a godmother.”

After she said that, Mu Wan began to laugh.

When Liu Qian came to the office on Monday, the little nurse said to him, “Doctor Liu. The calico cat you often feed died a few days ago.”

The hand holding the pen paused. Liu Qianxiu looked up and asked: “How did it die?”

“It was hit by a car.” The little nurse sighed and said, “I heard it from the head nurse. She also said that the calico cat had a litter of kittens. She was going to take them home when she was off work at night and looked for a friend to adopt it, but when she went to see it after work, it was gone.”

The little nurse was worried and said, “Did someone take it away? The newborn kitten is not easy to feed. If they are adopted, it will be fine. I read the news that many perverts are particularly looking for kittens to abuse... “

After closing the medical records, Liu Qianxiu’s expression remained unchanged, and he said, “Prepare for the operation first.”

The little nurse was immersed in worry, returned to her senses, and hurriedly followed after a loud “Oh.” She thought that because Liu Qianxiu often went to feed Sanhua, he should have a good relationship with the calico cat. But since she said that the calico cat was killed by a car, doctor Liu’s expression had not changed much.

She knew Doctor Liu’s nickname was Liu Daochang (Taoist priest Liu). From the point of view of this incident, he’s really a little bit of the Taoist priest’s elegant and meaningless temperament.

Liu Qianxiu went to the hospital’s security room at noon after work. He retrieved the surveillance records for the previous two days. Few people passed by near the bushes at the hospital’s entrance, and many cars were parked.

He fast-forwards the surveillance video. When someone appears, Liu Qianxiu clicks the mouse to stop the fast-forwarding.

The woman in the surveillance video is slender and well-dressed. She stands in front of the bushes, bending over and leaning forward. When she stands up, there is a fluffy ball in her arms.

She awkwardly stood there, holding the kitten in her arms, and talked to another woman. After that, she looked in the camera’s direction and left the screen.

The monitor screen is switched, the light and shadow are on and off, and the outline of the man’s facial features is deep and distant. His eyes fixed on the video frame, with light reflected in his eyes, still as calm as a deep pool.

“What is she holding in her arms? Kitten?” The security guard looked at the picture and was fascinated by the woman’s beauty in the image. But because Liu Qianxiu was here, the topic turned to the kitten, “Stray cat. This young lady is very caring, but the cat is too young to support.”

Liu Qianxiu got up, thanked the security guard, opened the door, and walked out.

~ 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?

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 194

~ 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.”

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 192

~ 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.
