Incurable Chapter 13 Part 2

Liu Qianxiu’s impression is so deep that even his phone number tastes out of the ordinary, with a touch of indifference. 

However, Mu Wan merely liked it even though it was a bunch of numbers.

Mu Wan smiled, but she was too focused and didn’t notice Gao Mei come over until she felt a volcano rushing toward her. Mu Wan turned and saw Gao Mei’s plump body and smiling eyes.

“Are you falling in love?” Gao Mei’s face is full of gossip.

Mu Wan locked her mobile phone, and her smiling face appeared on the screen. She wore a high ponytail, her small face was fully exposed, and her charm was full of heroism.

Putting the mobile phone away, Mu Wan said, “Not yet.”

“Well, what does that mean?” Gao Mei’s tone pulled up, and her small eyes widened, “Is the ambiguous period?”

When Gao Mei came over, she covered up the wind, and Mu Wan felt hot. She opened the paper fan, chilled her heated cheeks, and confessed openly: “Yes.”

“I asked why you go to see cats every day in the past few days, so it was because you were going to see your sweetheart.” Gao Mei knows it very well. Taking the script in her hand, she patted Mu Wan.

When Gao Mei patted her, she fanned a cool breeze. Mu Wan laughed, looked at the script in her hand, and asked, “Did you take this drama, too?”

“Red Embroidery” is written on the cover of the script. Obviously, Gao Mei is going to be a crew with her again. It is a good thing, and they will not be too bored when the two of them are waiting for filming.

“Yes, it’s going to start on the 30th. Today is Friday, isn’t that next Monday?” Gao Mei said and counted the time, “So you and your sweetheart are going to have a long-distance relationship.”

“Red Embroidery” is a medical drama set in the Republic of China. Many scenes in this series will be shot in Wencheng Central Hospital. Wencheng is an old city, and this first hospital was built in the Republic of China period and is still well preserved.

Li Nan hasn’t notified her of the specific start time. But after the filming starts, the actors will go to the group to stand by. Mu Wan fanned the paper fan, and the heat steamed onto her face.

Mu Wan fanned again, thinking to herself. Wencheng is not far away, but they could not return when shooting night scenes. She doesn’t want to be separated from Liu Qianxiu, but she only has a small share of the film and can finish it in a week..,

“By the way, do you know the heroine of “Red Embroidery”? Today, the official announced that he has the same surname as you.” Gao Mei said.

As soon as the dryness in Mu Wan’s heart receded, Mother Wu’s words sounded in her ears. Mu Qing met a boyfriend from the Shen family.

Looking back at Gao Mei, Mu Wan asked: “What’s her name?”

“Mu Qing.”

Mu Wan’s lips closed.

Coming out of the operating room, Liu Qianxiu took off his mask. When the little nurse came to take off his surgical gown, she said to him, “Doctor Liu, the dean is looking for you and waiting for you in your office.”

He removed his gloves, and Liu Qianxiu replied indifferently, “Okay.”

After speaking, he got up and left.

Xiao Tan, the dean of Tang’er Hospital, was Liu Qianxiu’s senior at Imperial University. Tang’er Hospital is a hospital under the Xiao family group. Xiao Tan worked in Tang’er Hospital after graduation and served as the dean of Tang’er Hospital last year. He also hired Liu Qianxiu at the Tang’er Hospital.

Most department employees knew the two were related, and Xiao Tan occasionally came to the office to look for him. Liu Qianxiu pushed the door into the office, and Xiao Tan sat beside him, looking at the medical record of his recent operation.

Seeing him coming in, Xiao Tan looked up and said with a smile: “Is the operation finished?”

Xiao Tan is 37 years old this year and has good looks, a decent appearance, and a refined temperament. Although he is the dean, he is gentle and not too serious.

After Liu Qianxiu answered, he sat on the chair behind his desk. The chair moved slightly and made a noise. Liu Qianxiu looked up, turned his head and neck around, and stretched out his hand to message it.

After three hours of surgery, he was a little tired.

“There will be no surgery again today, right?” Xiao Tan asked.

Having known him for many years, Liu Qianxiu understands Xiao Tan’s nature. He leaned forward, opened his eyes to look at Xiao Tan, and asked in a deep voice, “What’s the matter?”

Liu Qianxiu was straightforward, and Xiao Tan didn’t beat around the bush. After a faint smile, he asked: “Last time you performed an operation on Doctor Xiao’s grandpa, and Doctor Xiao wants to invite you to a meal to say thank you.”

After all, Xiao Tan and Xiao Yun are distant relatives, but the relationship between the two of them has not yet come out. His father was a person with great affection. Before Xiao Yun came to the hospital, Xiao Tan’s father asked him to take good care of Xiao Yun.

Xiao Tan is young but is already in a prominent position and often interacts with people. Xiao Yun said a word of thanks to Liu Qianxiu, and Xiao Tan could see her thoughts from her expression.

Liu Qianxiu is excellent, and Xiao Yun is gentle. Both of them are great surgeons and share the same language. One has a cold personality, and the other is shy and dignified, so there is always a slight difference between them.

After Xiao Tan finished speaking, Liu Qianxiu stared in a daze at the orchid on the windowsill. It was light green leaves, bright blue flowers, and small air.

“Qianxiu?” Xiao Tan called to him.

“Yeah.” Liu Qianxiu’s expression remained unchanged. He looked at Xiao Tan and said: “It’s what I should do. No need to say thank you.”

“Are you going to have something tonight?” Xiao Tan asked.

Liu Qianxiu denied: “No.”

“Then it’s settled.” Xiao Tan ignored his refusal and agreed on his behalf, “You are a doctor. In addition to treating patients and saving people, you should also socialize. You don’t go to hospital meetings on weekdays. The whole hospital won’t recognize me? I’ll sell you my face today. I’ll go together with you.”

After speaking, Xiao Tan patted him on the shoulder and said, “That’s it. See you at Masyale Western Restaurant at 7 o’clock tonight.”

Xiao Tan got up, opened the door, and left.

The filming of the last scene was long. It was already 6 o’clock when the filming ended. Mu Wan then called Liu Qianxiu to ask him if he had finished getting off work. The man there quickly answered the phone and said, “Hello.” When Mu Wan heard it, she felt sweet and began to smile.

“Are you getting off work?” Mu Wan asked.

“Just got off.” The other end of the phone was too quiet, and Liu Qianxiu ‘s voice was purer and more pleasant.

“Ah~” Mu Wan felt regretful when she heard it. She hurriedly walked to the film and television city intersection and looked up at the taxi on the roadside. It’s too hot today, and it’s over six o’clock. It’s time to change shifts, so the taxis are difficult to find.

“Today, I can’t wait for you.” Mu Wan said, “Should I go directly to your house?”

Liu Qianxiu refused Mu Wan and said, “Doctor Xiao invited me to dinner tonight, and I won’t go home until later. “

Who is Doctor Xiao?

Standing still, Mu Wan narrowed her eyes, remembering the doctor she met two days ago and her despised eyes. Isn’t she reserved and dignified? Why did she start to take the initiative?

There is a better time to think about this.

There was a dry fire in Mu Wan’s heart. Whether it’s a sense of crisis or something else, Mu Wan retracted her hand from stopping the taxi and asked Liu Qianxiu.

“Aren’t you not going to eat out?” He said last time that she would invite him out for dinner. Why did Doctor Xiao ask him to go out to eat and be willing to go out?

Mu Wan asked: “When you finish eating, can I still go to see the cat?” In the receiver, the woman is like an anxious cat, stretching out her sharp claws to reach the dried fish that is about to be snatched away by others. When she can’t get it, she questions with a grievance in her rage.

Liu Qianxiu asked calmly: “Are you eating alone?”

“Yeah.” Mu Wan snorted and frowned, “You haven’t answered my question yet...”

“Shall we go together?” Asked Liu Qianxiu.

Mu Wan’s pupils dilated slightly.

The heat in her body was like swelling marshmallows entwined into a big ball. When Liu Qianxiu gently bit it, it melted on the tip of his tongue, sweet and with no trace.

“Can I go?” Mu Wan asked.

On the phone, her tone has softened.

Liu Qianxiu answered lightly and said, “I’ll take you.”

“Good.”

The author has something to say: 
Liu Daochang: I don't know what to say.

Incurable Chapter 13 Part 1

He paused every word. His tone was calm, like a wall clock pendulum beating Mu Wan’s eardrums back and forth. When it’s time to report on the hour, the “dang” sound is heard, and Mu Wan’s heart pounds fast.

The night was silent, and there was a meow from the cat room around the corner.

Her red lips parted, and the man beside her got up. She moved her gaze and raised her head, her eyes sparkling, reflecting Liu Qianxiu’s shadow.

“Wake up.” Liu Qianxiu said, looking down at her.

Her throat moved slightly, and her heartbeat was still beating. Mu Wan smiled satisfyingly and sweetly, as though she had eaten sweet candy without being noticed.

She stood up, her red dress spread down to show her two white legs. As she walked to the kitten room, she said, “Let me see if Ertong’s eyes have opened or not.”

Seeing Mu Wan enter the kitten’s room, Liu Qianxiu’s eyes fell and stayed on The Book of Ethics she had just put down.

Ertong’s eyes were also light golden, just like Datou and Zhongfen’s eyes, and their eyes had fully opened. Ertong and Zhongfen's eyes are relatively round, while the big head has drooping eyes. The little ball was sad and lovely, with its eyes open to drink milk.

Ertong opened its eyes when Mu Wan was about to leave. She stood in the hallway, holding on to the cold wall and taking off her slippers. The tiptoe’s narrow instep connected the upper leg. Under the red dress was a dazzling white.

Mu Wan put on her high-heeled shoes, and the heels made a “ding” sound on the ground. But when Liu Qianxiu spoke, there was no sound from the heels.

The tail of his eyes swept her legs under her red dress, and the time showed that it was already half past nine.

Liu Qianxiu spoke with a bland expression.

“How are you going back?”

The living room lights were still on, but the lights in the hall weren’t yet on. The table lamp was dim. Liu Qianxiu was standing in the backlight. His back was tall and straight, and his facial features were sharp and handsome.

“Taxi.” Mu Wan replied to Liu Qianxiu. She took out her mobile phone and looked at the time. The screen lit up her face, and her small face was troubled.

“It’s not easy to take a taxi now,” Mu Wan said.

Before she finished speaking, a figure appeared before her and enveloped her. Mu Wan looked up, and the phone’s screen illuminated Liu Qianxiu’s face. He changed his shoes and said, “I will send you.”

“He sent me home yesterday.” Mu Wan found a wall to sit down on, opened the prop paper fan in her hand, and fanned herself. She wore a costume with wide cuffs that pinched her waist, and the neckline was layered and airtight.

The temperature was 35 degrees, and the heat made Mu Wan sweaty. She had just finished filming a fight scene, and the assistant director didn’t let her remove her costume, saying he would show it to the director. Mu Wan can take the clothes off if he can use the scene, or she will have to shoot again.

“Fuck, fuck, you can do it, Mu Wan. How’s it going? Liu Daochang’s bed skills...” Lin Wei was very excited.

“We didn’t do anything.” Mu Wan closed the fan in her hand, lifted her cuffs, and wiped off the sweat. She recalled yesterday’s event, with the corners of her lips rising and kicking a small stone with her foot, and said: “He only take me home. That’s it.”

“He took you home, and you didn’t invite him to sit at your house?” Lin Wei asked depressedly and excitedly.

“No.” Mu Wan said, “He has to rest at ten o’clock, and I will let him go after he takes me home.”

Lin Wei: “...”

She was single, really within the strength of her abilities.

However, Lin Wei also understands that Mu Wan differs from hers and emphasizes spiritual and physical interaction. Mu Wan thought physical exchange occurs naturally after the spiritual reaches a certain level.

“Then what other developments did you two have yesterday?” Lin Wei asked differently, “Is that whether you are sure that Liu Daochang likes you?”

The paper fanned her bangs, blew a cool breeze, and the heat dissipated a little. Mu Wan thought of Liu Qianxiu’s face under the desk lamp and said: “I asked him yesterday if he liked living alone? Then, he asked me why I asked. So, I replied because he has always lived alone.”

Regarding the crucial point, Mu Wan spoke with a tone that seemed to be laughing. Lin Wei was about to die of anxiety and urged: “Then what did he say?”

“Oh.” Mu Wan regained consciousness. Her ears were a little hot, and she said: “He said that now, right now, there are two people.”

After listening to Mu Wan’s answer, with Liu Qianxiu’s cold and dusty face in her mind, Lin Wei got goosebumps.

“Mu Wan, come and do it again!” the assistant director shouted.

“Okay.” Mu Wan got up from the ground, patted the mud, and said to Lin Wei: “I do not know what he meant, but I feel like I like him better. I’ll go and shoot first.”

After speaking, Mu Wan hung up the phone.

Lin Wei couldn’t return to her senses from her last explosion for a long time. She could even think of the scene at that time. Under the lamplight, there was a man and a woman. The man was extraordinary, handsome, and thin, while the woman was charming, bright, innocent, and soft.

A fairy and a demon. No matter how powerful the devil is, how can it escape from the palm of a god? In the end, Mu Wan, who moved first, would definitely be turned back by Liu Daochang.

Right now, there are two people.

Liu Daochang is okay, usually pure-hearted, and has little desire. She also has an abstinent face, so it’s very touching when he talks about something emotional in a set of words.

That’s what it’s like in the authentic abstinence system.

After reshooting the film, Mu Wan had a short rest time. She took the paper fan and went to the rest area. The rest of ​​the crew is in a big open room with many supporting actors and actresses. The assistant director called in the actors to prepare some scenes, and the makeup artist shouted, which was very lively.

It’s past two o’clock in the afternoon, and Mu Wan still has the last scene. She can leave after shooting the film and estimates that the filming will be completed at about four o’clock. She found a corner to sit down, put her elbows on her knees, and took her mobile phone out.

After leaving last night, Mu Wan has yet to contact Liu Qianxiu. After so many days, Mu Wan only asked him when he was off work after she finished filming and then went to pick him up.

In the crew, Mu Wan rarely played with mobile phones. She only played a few games of Plants vs. Zombies when bored. Later, after Krypton passed all levels, she lost interest. There were very few apps on the phone. Mu Wan opened the address book and found Liu Qianxiu’s contact card.

She saved it as Liu Daochang.

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 240

~ GIVE BACK TO THE PEOPLE ~ 

“Lord Li is flattering me. Actually, I have other thoughts in my mind. I only hope you don’t laugh at me when I say it.” Mu Yunyao lowered her head slightly and smiling a little more nervously.

“Please speak, Miss Mu.” 

“During my stay in Jingling City, my mother and I have come into contact with many madams and ladies from various families. They are very kind-hearted and take great care of us. Previously, my adoptive mother and I were discussing the Laba porridge festival. Many madams regret that they were unable to participate in the festival. This time around, we can consider it as having a meaningful act of kindness to the entire Jingling City. If it is feasible, could Lord Li call for more people to participate in it?”

Li Munian’s eyes moved and quickly thought about it: “Miss Mu is indeed intelligent. If more people participate in it, it would be a fortunate thing for the people of Jingling City!”

Mu Yunyao nodded her head. “It’s good that Lord Li doesn’t think I’m doing whimsical. I’ll have to trouble Lord Li to manage this matter. For Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo, I’ll follow Lord’s arrangements.”

“Alright, I’ll give you all the credit.”

“Everything was arranged by Lord Li. I just paid some silver coins, so you can’t consider it a big deal.”

After Li Munian and Mu Yunyao finished talking about their proper business, Lady Zhou asked Mu Yunyao to have dinner in the mansion before going back. She had refused it as the reason to go home and pack up her things. Lady Zhou ordered someone to send Mu Yunyao home. After Mu Yunyao had left, she couldn’t help but praise, “If Mu Yunyao hadn’t come from too low a family background, I would even want to bring her to the Zhou family. With her intelligence and disposition, she will definitely be of great help to the family.”

Li Munia let out a chuckle, “You think that her background is too low, but who knows if she might be looking down on the Zhou Family? Miss Mu has quite an interesting mind.”

Lady Zhou raised her brows. “Master, what do you mean by that?”

“Madam, please don’t be angry. It’s not that I look down on my father-in-law’s family. But when I look at Mu Yunyao’s every word and action, I don’t think she’s a person from the pool. Why does Madam think that she want to hurriedly give back to the people of Jingling City before she left?”

Lady Zhou’s eyes moved. “… … …This was … if you want to make a name for yourself, why don’t you give the Su family a bad impression?”

“During this time, the Emperor had suppressed the Li family, and the Su family is very proud” Li Mu Nian smiled and nodded as admitting it. “I will find someone to discuss now. If it’s too late, I can sleep in the study room. Madam doesn’t have to wait for me. Mu Yunyao wanted to light the fire, so I’ll add two sticks of firewood and pour a ladle of hot oil for her...,”

In the following time, many ordinary people found that the entire Jingling City seemed to be bustling with activity. Mu Yunyao united with other families to donate silver, and the total amount reached one hundred and fifty thousand silver taels.

Li Munian was also a courageous person. He did not use all the silver to buy grain and distribute it to the people. Instead, he used a portion of his silver taels to build water canals, repair rivers, rebuild the streets, and rebuild the charity bureau ..… All kinds of good deeds causing the entire Jingling City to appear prosperous and flourishing, as though the future is full of infinite vitality.

When the commoners heard the news, they rushed to tell each other, especially Mu Yunyao, who had donated a hundred thousand taels of silver. Previously, they had thought that her Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo was too eye-catching, but now that they knew she had taken out all the silver she had earned in a year, even the envious peers could not help but raise their thumbs and praise.

Wen Mama and the others stood next to Bu Xian Luo’s window and allowing them to see the entire Su family clearly from here.

In front of the Su family’s residence, many people brought over fruits and vegetables. They quietly placed them at the door and paid their respects before leaving. Some people even tied some hens in baskets and left them at the door.

Liu Mama, who had accompanied Wen Mama, had an unfriendly look in her eyes. “This Miss Biao really knows how to win a good reputation. In terms of reputation alone, I’m afraid that even Eldest Madam will be slightly inferior.”

Wen Mama turned around and glanced at her. Liu Mama was the person beside the Eldest Madam. Although she couldn’t be considered a confidant, she still had quite a bit of trust in her and had some face in the Su family. “What is the comparison between the two of them?”

The corner of Liu Mama’s mouth rose. “Indeed. It’s really nothing similar! One was a phoenix flying in the sky, while the other was pheasant plowing on the ground, which is different from the root.”

Wen Mama shut her eyes and didn’t say anything.

Batches after batches of food had been sent into the Jingling City. Many of the surrounding cities had shocked as well. It was unknown just how many people were envious of the people of Jingling City!

Over the past year or so, the entire Jingling City has undergone tremendous changes. The women in Jingling City have learned the best embroidery skills, and they can earn two taels of silver with a slight movement of their needlework. With the support of Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Lou, the men have frequent business contacts. Even hard-working men earn more than ten cents a day than other places.

When Mu Yunyao heard that someone had placed something in front of the Su family’s residence, she immediately wrote a sign and hung it up. She hoped that the people would not be so polite, but it didn’t work. The people still kept putting things at her door.

Mu Yunyao thought about it carefully and then asked people to gather the things together and put them in Jin Xiu Garden. She was only waiting for the day when she would give these things back to the people of Jingling City. She will make these things into food so that more people could benefit from it.

After hearing this, ordinary people even more moved. Many people specially delivered the items to Jin Xiu Garden and begged Steward Qin to accept them, saying that they would also contribute to Jingling City’s people. Many merchants also rushed over, the status of merchants was not high, and they were considered unwelcome in the past. After Mu Yunyao had done many good deeds for the people, the people’s attitude towards the merchants had changed a lot. The merchants naturally returned the favor, hoping to earn some good reputation for themselves.

Mu Yunyao didn’t decide on her own accord. She recorded down the person who wanted to donate the silver and passed the name list over to Li Munian.

Li Munian was not a pedantic person, and he didn’t mean to look down on the merchants at all. After he knew about it, he even made the government announce a notice to commend the merchants who took the initiative to offer silver. The merchant who went to deliver the silver just a moment ago had almost trampled on the threshold of the government office.

Li Munian received nearly 40 thousand taels of silver again. After making up 200,000 silver, he used some of it to buy food. The other part was written as a notice and was posted on the wall at the government office’s gate, stating that the remaining silver was for future emergency use. The weather in Jingling City was smooth sailing. If he used it now, it would be like icing on the cake of the ordinary people. However, if it was a year of disaster, these silver taels could save countless lives.

In order to prevent the people from thinking over much, he wrote down the items for the silver taels in detail. He also explained what kind of things they would buy in the future, then posted a notice to inform the entire city.

The commoners were not greedy. After hearing this, they think it is very reasonable, and not many people oppose it.

After preparing for nearly half a month, July 20th, a drizzle had fallen in the morning. After the sky had cleared, the breeze was gentle, and the weather was surprisingly fresh. Jingling City’s people took to the streets one after another and concentrated on several streets near Bu Xian Luo.

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 239

~ SHE’S NOT AFRAID OF TROUBLE ~ 

Mu Yunyao looked at Jin Lan with appreciation. “You’re right. Lady Zhou’s words are full of praise for me. She says that I’m no worse than those noble girls in the Capital!”

Jin Qiao nodded on one side. “Lady Zhou is right about this!”

Jin Lan couldn’t help but glare at her. “How could it be this simple!? That Lady Zhou is not simply a pure compliment.”

“Huh? Is it clear praise and derogation? That can’t be it?”

Jin Lan thought about her guess. Seeing Mu Yunyao look at her with a slightly encouraging gaze, she couldn’t help but tentatively said, “Miss, this servant will dare to speak out. If I’m wrong, please forgive me.”

“Tell me about it.”

“Lady Zhou praises Miss, and the maidservant agrees with her very much. No matter if it was appearance or talent, Miss was in no way inferior to those noble ladies of the Capital. When ordinary people heard Lady Zhou’s words, they could not help but feel pleased with themselves. Perhaps after entering the Capital, they might even compare themselves to those noble ladies. With Miss now in charge of Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo, if she really wants to show off, no one will be able to cover it up. But this way, it will be extremely disadvantageous for Miss. After all, Miss is s only addressing the Old Madam of the Su family as a grandmother.”

Mu Yunyao laughed, “You’re right, the Su family is like a big tree, my mother and I are just minor details of this tree, but there is that blood tie. If the relationship is there, it will affect the whole body. As long as I am uneasy in the Su family, some people can hold this point and make a fuss. If I really can’t carry it clearly, I’m afraid the first person in the Su family who can’t accommodate is my mother and me.”

Jin Qiao couldn’t help but stroke her chest. “I really didn’t expect that things were so complicated and complex. On the contrary, that Lady Zhou treats people warmly, but her heart is also very dark! Isn’t this taking advantage of you completely?”

“The Zhou family and the Su family have never been on good terms, so why would she kindly remind me?”

Jin Lan had worried on the side. “Miss. Wen Mama saw you and Lady Zhou. Would she said something that would harm you after returning to the Su family?”

Mu Yunyao slightly smiled, “The two of you are going to follow me to the Su family. Since it’s like this, there are some things that I need to tell you in advance. Just now, Jin Lan’s words came to the point. Mother is Old Madam Su’s biological daughter, but Mother has never met Old Madam Su after so many years. Even though they were blood-related, their relationship was not as close as the servants who had served her for a long time. Besides, my father was born in poverty, so he could not enter the Su family’s eyes. People like me looked like a stain to the Su family. Therefore, when you come to the Capital, you have to be careful in your words and actions. If you encountered something, you should think more and never act impulsively.”

“Yes. Please rest assured, Miss. We’ll be patient and won’t cause trouble for you and Madam.” Jin Lan was still able to hold on, but Jin Qiao had a nervous expression on her face.

“Miss, let’s endure for now and wait until later to take revenge!” Jin Qiao’s eyes were wide open as she spoke with a solemn expression.

Mu Yunyao couldn’t hold back her laughter. “What you said is also a plan, but if you can’t stand on the topic of reasoning, can’t you think of a way to make the person on the topic unable to speak?”

Jin Lan and Jin Qiao had puzzled faces, but Mu Yunyao didn’t explain any further. Right now, no matter how much she talked about it, the two of them still couldn’t feel the same. They have to come to the Su family’s residence to understand gradually. What the Su family says is never the truth, but whose skill is hard! And she went back this time only to get revenge. Naturally, she was not afraid of getting into trouble.

In the next few days, many people came to visit Su Qing. Each of them’s attitudes was peculiarly close to her and gave her generous gifts. Mu Yunyao didn’t especially follow Su Qing to receive them. Instead, she concentrated on arranging Ni Yun Fang.

Since she was going to the Capital, she naturally had to set up Ni Yun Fang in the Capital as soon as possible. This way, it would at least be convenient for her to get dressed.

After several busy days, Wen Mama once again mentioned the matter of departure: “Madam, just yesterday, the Old Madam sent a letter to remind me. I hope that Madam and Young Miss can return to the Su family as soon as possible. Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the Old Madam will definitely want a family reunion.”

“It’s really my fault to make my mother worry about it. Yao’er, how are things arranged?”

“Mother, when we came to Jingling City, we had nothing. Thanks to the help of the people in Jingling City, we had a firm foothold and today’s property. Before this, I had talked to Lord Li, the salt transportation envoy, that we wanted to give back to the people in Jingling City. But later, there was a case of stealing salt, and the whole Jiangnan area was in turmoil. Lord Li has no time to do so, and this has delayed the matter and kept pushing back to the present. We are leaving now and can’t say when we will have another chance to come back. Naturally, we have to keep this promise.”

Su Qing nodded her head, “That’s right. You’re right. Previously, we discussed how to take advantage of the festivity during the Dragon Boat Festival. But unfortunately, it was interrupted by the incident. Now, we have to make good use of this opportunity. Otherwise, the people of Jingling City will say that we are ungrateful.”

Mu Yunyao smiled as she looked at Wen Mama. “Wen Mama, I’m truly sorry. Stay here for two more days. I’ll discuss this with Lord Li so that we can settle this matter as soon as possible. We can set off as well.”

“Yes.” Wen Mama left the room. After returning to Bu Xian Luo, her expression was slightly gloomy. She thought for a moment, then found a brush and paper to write the letter and sent it to the Capital overnight.

When the letter was sent out, Steward Qin reported the news to her. After Mu Yunyao heard this, Mu Yunyao laughed and did not take it seriously.

Combined with what had happened in her previous life, Mu Yunyao had a faint feeling, as if the Su family didn’t want too many people to notice the pair of mother and daughter. In that case, she had to go back with a big fanfare, and it would be best if everyone knew about it. She wants to see how the Su family will treat them in this situation.

The next day, Mu Yunyao went to the Li family’s residence to seek an audience. When Lady Zhou heard the reason for her arrival, she asked someone to invite Li Munian back.

“Greetings, Lord Li.”

“Miss Mu need not be so courteous. I heard that Miss Mu came here this time to discuss how to return the favor to the people in Jingling City.”

“Yes.” Mu Yunyao’s face held a smile as she spoke in a gentle voice,” Earlier, I discussed with Lord Li that we would like to give back a hundred thousand silver taels to the people of Jingling City. After that, because of the delays, we have been pushed back until now. Seeing that we are leaving jingling City, I really don’t want to give up. I must keep this promise.”

“Miss Mu’s kind heart is really admirable.” Today, because of the salt tax incident, the Li family received a reprimand from the Emperor. Even his father was exceptionally cautious in front of the Emperor, afraid that saying something wrong would make the Holy Emperor unhappy. Although the matter of Mu Yunyao giving a few taels of silver back to the people of Jingling City wasn’t too big, if he could manage it well, he had credit praise for it. He hopes this contribution can make the impression of the Li family in the Emperor’s heart better!

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 238

~ THE KIND LADY ZHOU ~ 

“Then, I would like to drink two more cups of tea today.” Lady Zhou looked at Mu Yunyao and couldn’t help but secretly praise her in her heart. Even though she had precautionary in her heart, she still felt comfortable looking at Mu Yunyao. 

“Madam, please take a seat.” Mu Yunyao led Lady Zhou to sit down and then personally made tea.

While appreciating her tea making, Lady Zhou casually said, “I’ve heard that Miss Mu will be leaving Jingling City and returning to the Su family’s residence in the Capital in a few days. That’s why I’m here to pay a visit.”

“I also didn’t expect that my mother’s background would be so rough.” Mu Yunyao’s brewing movements were as graceful and smooth as before. However, a trace of unease and apprehension couldn’t help but flash through her eyes as she spoke, causing Madame Zhou to keenly caught it.

“This is a good thing. The Su family in the Capital is very famous. I don’t know how many people want to get into a relationship but can’t!”

Mu Yunyao let out a soft sigh. “Even so, my mother and I grew up in the mountains and the countryside. I’m afraid that we might have our fortune is too low …”

“The first thing I saw when I saw you was that you would definitely be extraordinary in the future. With your skills and bearing alone, even in the Capital, you would stand outstandingly compared to those noble ladies, so there was no need to worry too much.

Mu Yunyao buckled the teacup and lightly placed it in front of Lady Zhou. “I grew up in the countryside since I was young, and I only know a few words from my father. How could I dare to be on par with those noble ladies in the Capital? “Madam, please don’t comfort me.”

“I’m not comforting you, but I’m telling you the truth. You don’t have to belittle yourself. Right now, the Su family is like the sun in the sky, the Old Madam of the Su family enjoys a second life, and your uncle, Su Wenyuan, is also extremely favored by the Emperor. The Eldest Young Master of the Su family, Su Qingwu, came to you personally last time. He was hired as a first-class guard by the Emperor at a young age. With such a prominent family, your fortune will be unlimited in the future.”

Mu Yunyao’s eyes held a hint of longing that just so happened to be there. “Right now, only I and my mother are dependent on each other. It would be great if I could have a few more family members …”

Lady Zhou smiled and took a sip from her teacup. Her eyes immediately lit up. “This tea is really not bad. After drinking it, I actually feel my entire body is refreshed and comfortable. Before you leave, you must sell me some.”

“If Madam likes it, I’ll have it wrapped up and immediately send someone to deliver it to your residence.”

“That’s good.” Lady Zhou drank two cups of tea and said many things about the Su family. one after another. After a while, she took out a post from her hand. “Miss Mu and I are very close to each other. I heard that the girl is going to leave, and I am very reluctant to give up. I came here to send some gifts.”

“How can that be?” Mu Yunyao hurriedly refused.

“This is my kind intentions. Please do not decline.” Lady Zhou directly sent the post to Mu Yunyao.

“... In that case, I shall thank Madam.”

Seeing Mu Yunyao accept it, the smile on Lady Zhou’s face became a bit more genuine. “Have you decided when you’ll go to the Capital?”

“We still need to settle down Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo. I’m afraid they will take a few more days.”

“That was reasonable. These two properties were flourishing day by day, and there was also the golden signboard gifted down by the Emperor. It’s a pity to abandon them at will. You don’t need to worry, Miss Mu. These two places are Jingling City’s face, and Lord Li already said that he would take good care of them. Even if you and Madam Su leave, we will definitely also take good care of them.”

“Hearing this, Mu Yunyao only felt that Lady Zhou was trying to make a poor decision and hurried over. It turns out that she was planning this. Her heart was on guard, but her expression didn’t show the slightest hint of emotion, “Lord Li is the salt transport envoy of Jingling City and also the son of Prime Minister Li, and you as his wife is also very noble from birth. With the care of you two, Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo can be considered safe. Thank you, Lord Li and Madam.”

Lady Zhou smiled. “There’s no need to be so courteous. You’re the one that makes me like it when I see you.”

After chatting for nearly half an hour, Lady Zhou stood up and left. Mu Yunyao escorted people out of Jin Xiu Garden, and after Lady Zhou boarded the carriage, she turned around to head back home. When Mu Yunyao returned home, she lightly turned her head to look at Bu Xian Luo. Mu Yunyao thought that Wen Mama had seen Lady Zhou’s arrival in her eyes. But she didn’t know how to arrange it in her heart?

Jin Lan and Jin Qiao quietly followed behind Mu Yunyao. After returning to their room, they took out the post placed at the side. “Miss, quite a few posts have been sent over. These are sent by the ladies who normally have dealings with Ni Yun Fang.”

Mu Yunyao took the post and looked at it. After laughing for a while, she casually threw it onto the table. “These ladies are well informed.”

“Miss, you don’t know, the news about Madam and you being members of the Su family has already spread throughout the entire Jingling City.”

“Let’s pass it. There is nothing shameful about it anyway.” I merely don’t know how Wen Mama will report to the Old Madam after she returns.

Jin Lan brought out a cup of tea. “Miss, your servant heard some of Lady Zhou’s words and felt a bit confused. Some of them seemed to have understood that she was trying to take care of Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo. You said that after we leave Jingling City, these two properties should not be embezzled by them, right?” 

“I am afraid that she would not be able to do so. Not to mention Li Munian, even his father, Li Qingzhou, did not dare to swallow up the entire Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo without permission. First, both of these properties are well-known by the Emperor, and they won’t be stupid enough to find unhappiness for themselves. Second, these two properties seem to earn money every day. But for the Li family, they are just like a drop in the bucket. They can’t help but cause trouble. Third, right now, we have a relationship with the Su family, and the Li family and the Su family have never been on good terms with each other. They know the seriousness of the situation better than us.”

Jin Lan blinked and thought for a while. She still didn’t understand. “This slave doesn’t understand even more. If that Lady Zhou didn’t want to help Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo, why did she say she would take care of them for Miss?”

Mu Yunyao raised her teacup and took a sip: “Why else would she intentionally say such words to the Su Family? Previously, I gave the New Year’s gift to the Emperor, but it struck the Su family’s sore spot. They didn’t know about my relationship with the Su family before, but now that they know that I’m from the Su family, it’s only natural to add to the fire.”

Jin Lan was a little bit stunned: “Wen Mama and the others are living upstairs in Bu Xian Luo, so they should be able to see that Miss entertaining Lady Zhou. Considering how unhappy she was before, Wen Mama’s impression of Miss would definitely be much worse than before. The Li family and the Su family is the opposite. The better Lady Zhou treats Miss, the more unhappy the Su family will be. But in this way, it will inevitably involve Miss and become a pawn in their game.”

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 237

~ THE NEWS SPREAD ~ 

Wen Mama secretly raised her brows. Was she dissatisfied with the Su family?

She thought in her heart, but her face remained calm, and she still respectfully said: “Return to Madam, for so many years, the Old Madam has never given up looking for you. It’s just that the distance from the Capital to Yan City. Even though the Old Madam has extraordinary abilities, she can’t do anything about it. She has been looking for you by an inch, but no news from Madam over the years. Fortunately, Old Madam had heard from time to time about the rich man, Lord Zhang, in Xiayan Village.

It was only after some investigation that Madam’s background seemed to be related to the Su family. Later on, she wanted to find a person to verify it for her. However, Madam and Young Miss have disappeared, and there was no trace of you. Fortunately, the heavens pitied us. Later, the Old Madam learned that the two of you were in Jingling City, so she hurriedly sent our servants over.”

Su Qing nodded her head as if she had accepted her word, “Then how can the Su family be so sure that I am the biological daughter that Old Madam lost before? After all, when I disappeared, I was still a baby, so there was no trace at all in this appearance. My adoptive father and adoptive mother also have never mentioned what physical evidence left on me?”

“In fact, there is physical evidence, but Madam’s adoptive parents secretly sold it for silver.” As she spoke, Wen Mama took out a jade pendant from her sleeve along with a yellowing piece of paper. “Madam, please take a look. This jade pendant is the Old Madam’s dowry. There are two identical pieces like this because the Old Madam has two daughters. These two jade pendants had respectively given to you and the Second Miss, but your adoptive father and adoptive mother secretly sold the jade pendant. Fortunately, they were not completely unintentional. They spent a few cents to find talent at the time and painted the jade pendant, which is enough to prove the identity of Madam.”

Mu Yunyao sneered in her heart. The Second Miss named by Wen Mama is Su Jin, the second daughter of the Old Madam. On the surface, she looked respectful, but the estrangement in the speech is very definite. Wen Mama called her mother Madam Su, but she called Su Jin as Second Miss.

Su Qing nodded her head. After carefully checking the jade pendant and the paper, she finally looked excited: “Am I really the biological daughter of the Old Madam? God has pity on me. I never thought that after so many years, I would actually be able to find my own family!”

Mu Yunyao stepped forward and caressed Su Qing’s back. “Mother, don’t be too agitated. Your body isn’t well. If you are too much agitated, it can trigger an old illness. I think Grandmother will definitely be exceptionally worried.”

A smile appeared on Wen Mama’s face. “You’re right, Young Miss. You must take good care of yourself, Madam.”

Some of the maids and Mama, who came with mother Wen, had poor judgment. When they heard Mu Yunyao called the Old Madam with grandmother, their eyes couldn’t help but reveal a look of disdain: Just now, as soon as the relationship becomes established, she called their Old Madam as her grandmother to approach her. At this time, it’s hard to say how proud that girl was. She thought that she could take advantage of the Su family, borrow the Su family’s power, and enjoy the glory of being rich.

Mu Yunyao took their look in her eyes and didn’t care at all in her heart. It was the same as in her previous life. It seemed that before she returned to the Su family, the attitude of the Su family had set, from Old Madam Su to the servants in charge of cleaning up, no one had taken her seriously.

After a while, Su Qing’s expression calmed down, opened her mouth, and said to Wen Mama, “You all must have had a hard journey to come here all the way. First, settle down and rest for a few days.”

Wen Mama said with a smile, “After the Madam finds out about your whereabouts, she misses you day and night. If possible, I hope Madam and Young Miss can arrange for us to return to the Su family as soon as possible. This way, she can be at ease as soon as possible.”

Su Qing nodded her head, “My heart is also full of anxiety. After settling all the matters in Jingling City, I will follow Wen Mama on her journey back to the Capital.”

“That would be for the best.”

“Si Qin, Si Qi, you two will take Wen Mama and others to have a rest. Our small courtyard can’t accommodate so many people, so we’ll bring them all to Bu Xian Lou to rest.”

“Yes, Madam.”

“This servant will take to leave.” Wen Mama and the others followed Si Qin and Si Qin out of the room. Along the way, they sized up the surrounding scenery as they asked, “The reputation of Bu Xian Luo is well-known throughout the Capital, is there anything inappropriate about us, the servants, living in that place?”

Si Qin smiled and said, “Rest assured, Mama. The news spread outside are nothing but rumors. Bu Xian Luo is the property of Madam and Miss, so it’s just a matter of one sentence to drive out all the guests inside, not to mention just a few people.”

“It was not easy to do business. We feel at ease if we don’t disturb Madam and Miss.”

She couldn’t say a word, which made Wen Mama’s heart even more uncertain. When she saw Su Qing and Mu Yunyao, she already felt that these two people were very excellent. But even the maidservants around them are not leaking every move ...,

Steward Qin led his people out and said, “Miss Si Qin, Miss Si Qi, did you two not serve in front of Madam?”

“Greetings, Steward Qin. These few people from the Su family of the Capital. Madam ordered that they should temporarily stay in Bu Xian Luo for the time being.”

“Yes, I will make the necessary arrangements.” Steward Qin responded and turned back to invite Si Cha. “Open Bu Xian Luo?”

Bu Xian Lou has been open for such a long time. Most people drink tea in various scenic spots of Jin Xiu Garden. Very few people can enter Bu Xian Luo, which makes many people think of Bu Xian Luo as the symbol of Jin Xiu Garden, and forget that it is also a place for entertaining guests.

Today, the guests are puzzled to see a group of servants brought into Bu Xian Luo. Although Wen Mama and the maidservants were dressed in exquisite clothing and had an impressive bearing, most of those who might come here to drink tea weren’t ordinary individuals. It was easy to guess their identity just by looking at their manner.

Once Wen Mama and the others settled down in Bu Xian Luo, the news of BU Xian Luo’s opening spread like wildfire throughout the entire Jingling City. Thus, many people began to investigate their identities.

In such a short time, news of Su Qing being a member of the Su family spread like wildfire throughout the Capital city. Even Wen Mama and the others’ expressions on their faces had been described vividly as to when they had arrived at Jingling City and visited the Su Residence.

That afternoon, Li Munian’s wife, the salt transport envoy, came to Bu Xian Luo to drink tea.

Mu Yunyao naturally personally received them and led Lady Zhou through the drizzling rain.

Lady Zhou sized up the surroundings and could not help but sigh in admiration. “The scenery here is really unique, especially this fake mountain stream. The mountain rocks are rugged, and the waterfall is flowing down. If there was sunlight, you could see seven rainbow colors, and you can never find a better place than here.”

“Thank you for your compliments, Madam. This place is newly created scenery, and Madam is the first guest to come to drink your tea.” Mu Yunyao’s face was full of smiles, causing people to feel incomparably comfortable from just looking at her.

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 236

~ THE ARRIVAL OF THE SU FAMILY ~ 

Hearing Liu Liang’s words, Mu Yunyao felt a rumbling in her heart. A rock heavily fell onto the ground, causing her whole person to suddenly relaxing. Her previous nervousness and anxiety instantly disappeared like a tide, replaced by an ice-cold hatred and killing intent.

She had waited so long and planned so much. She walked forward cautiously and not daring to make the slightest mistake. What she was waiting for was to return to the Su family’s residence and make those people who had persecuted her in her past life pay the price one by one!

Mu Yunyao stood up, and her movements were unhurried as she rearranged her unwrinkled sleeves and skirt. Her lips curled up slightly, and she said with a perfect curve, “Go invite him in and arrange him in the parlor. Mother and I will go there shortly.”

“Yes, Miss.”

“Yao’er?” Su Qing’s heart tightened, and even her face turned pale. Her body was still trembling uncontrollably, but at a glance, she looked very nervous.

Mu Yunyao held her hand, her eyes filled with determination: “Mother, we are going to return to the Su family and meet our relatives. We should be happy.”

Looking at the expression in Mu Yunyao’s eyes, the nervousness in Su Qing’s heart subsided slightly. “You’re right. We should be happy.”

Mu Yunyao smiled widely, her watery eyes carrying a slight curve in them, blinking as if stars flashed by, “Besides, you are the biological daughter of the Su family’s Old Madam. In the Su family, other than the Old Madam and the current Patriarch, Su Wen Yuan, everyone else must pay their respects to you when they see you. The seniority is there. If anyone dares to be rude, you can directly order people to drag them down and deal with them. “

“That’s true...”

“Mother, the Su family cherishes face, so every move and every word must have made under the rules of etiquette. The more polite people are, the better they are to get along with each other. As long as we stand based on the word etiquette, no matter who we face, we will not be afraid.”

Listening to Mu Yunyao’s unswerving tone, Su Qing gradually calmed down. She was so nervous before, and she was still affected by Mu Yunyao to some extent. Now she has a calm expression and a sweet smile, and it can even be said to be full of fighting spirit. In an instant, she felt that it was no big deal: “Alright, Mother will listen to you. Since that’s the case, let’s head over.”

At this moment, in the parlor, a dozen or so maidservants were standing. On the guest chair, a woman in a blue dress sitting upright. She was sitting in a steady posture with a smile on her lips. Her gaze swept over the furnishings in the entire parlor and then lowered her eyes slightly, covering the light in her eyes.

Footsteps came from the door. The woman in the guest seat did not move. The maidservants standing behind her did not move at all.

Mu Yunyao holds Su Qing’s arm and walks into the parlor. At a glance, she sees Wen Mama sitting in the guest seat. When she saw Wen Mama, a cold intent flashed in her heart. This Wen Mama was the Old Madam’s favorite person and had followed her for the longest time, so her thoughts were the most profound and unfathomable. In her previous life, the Su family had only dispatched second-class Mama and maids to pick her up. This time, they had actually sent a senior servant, Wen Mama, to pick her up, which was somewhat unexpected.

Su Qing originally wanted to stand down and speak, but Mu Yunyao helped her continue walking inside and directly indicating that she should sit in the main seat on the left.

Muyunyao settled Su Qing, motioned her to be calm for a while, and then sat down on the right side. She looked at Wen Mama with a smile and did not intend to open her mouth to speak.

The atmosphere froze for a moment. After a few breaths, Wen Mama stood up and led the crowd to greet Su Qing and Mu Yunyao. “Greetings, Madam. Greetings, Miss.” There was a smile on her face like the solemn atmosphere from before had absolutely disappeared, and the rules were remarkably considerate.

The smile on Mu Yunyao’s lips deepened as she turned her head to wink at Su Qing.

Su Qing nodded and said, “There’s no need to be so courteous. I wonder who you are and what is your purpose in coming to see us?”

Mother Wen stood up with a pure smile on her face:

“This servant called Wen Mama. I’ve come this time to bring Madam and Miss back. You don’t know that for so many years, the Old Madam has been thinking about you. I don’t know how many tears have flowed down her face secretly.”

A puzzled expression appeared on Su Qing’s face, “Wen Mama? I’ve never seen you before, so I wonder what you mean by this?”

Wen Mama looked up with a smile. With just a glance, Su Qing felt like Wen Mama had scrutinized her from beginning to end. “Madam, this is a long story. There is a letter from the Old Madam here. Please have a look.”

In front of her, Su Qing had a gentle smile on her face. She wore a light purple lotus leaf pattern dress that accentuated her elegance. In particular, her pair of eyes had a calm color. When you look at it, you can’t see it clearly.

By her side, Mu Yunyao’s appearance was even more gorgeous. Even though she was fourteen years old, her figure had yet to fully developed, and she was already like a lotus that had just bloomed. She is charming and elegant. That face seemed could emit light, as white as flawless jade, as tender as scented cream, and as radiant as the eyes, eyebrows, and facial features. The smile on her face was pure and brilliant, which made people who saw it feel involuntarily imprinted to their hearts.

Even the maids beside the two of them had an exceptional bearing, which not one bit inferior to the first-class servant girls from the Su family.

The more she looked at it, the more Wen Mama’s heart sank. She thought Su Qing and Mu Yunyao both grew up in the countryside. Even if they happen to have a reputation for one or two points, they were only lucky. But now, it seems that these two people are no worse than those madams and ladies in Capital. In particular, Mu Yunyao’s appearance wasn’t the most beautiful one, but she was definitely the most attractive. When she fully matured, who knew how many noble ladies would get suppressed to the point where they would absolutely lose all limelight.

While Wen Mama thinking, Su Qing had finished reading the letter in her hand and handed it to Mu Yunyao. The content of the letter looked very moving. It clearly depicts the events that had occurred at the time Su Qing was lost. It also expressed Old Madam Su’s longing for her daughter. She was unmistakably sincere and made her seem like a mother who missed her daughter, but she can’t see her. Even Mu Yunyao felt touched when she saw it.

When Wen Mama saw the expressions of Su Qing and Mu Yunyao and saw that their faces were calm, she couldn’t help but feel displeased. According to her thoughts, after they found out about her relationship with the Su family, they should be exceptionally excited. But now, they look as if they have nothing to do with their relationship with the Su family.

Seeing that Mu Yunyao had finished reading the letter, Su Qing opened her mouth and said, “Wen Mama, I grew up in a poverty family. The countryside people don’t understand so many rules and regulations, so I’ll be straightforward if I have something to say.”

“Madam, please speak.”

Su Qing said casually: “Although I am far away in Jingling City, the Su family is famous, and I have heard of Lord Su’s reputation for a long time. Logically, with the Su family’s reputation, they shouldn’t be hiding it from me, but I am curious, why did the Su family only find me after so many years have passed?”

Incurable Chapter 12 Part 2

The kitten room was kept at a constant temperature, which was not too hot. Liu Qianxiu looked at Mu Wan for a long time, then put down the kitten and said, “I’m going to cook.”

Mu Wan watched Liu Qianxiu’s figure leave.

His reaction was in line with her expectations. Mu Wan didn’t directly flirt but wanted to do it bit by bit. He slowly spiked Liu Qianxiu until he liked her, too.

She was the only one in the kitten’s room. Mu Wan looked back at the cat litter and still felt hot. She touched her warm face and said to the kitten in the cat litter: “Ertong, Zhongfen, when are you two going to open your eyes?”

It seemed that it heard Mu Wan’s call. After Mu Wan and Liu Qianxiu had dinner, Zhongfen’s eyes opened. It’s a mixture of black and white, its eyes look more beautiful than Datou’s eyes, and it also has light gold.

Zhongfen is the youngest of the three kittens. He is frail and ill and has also been hospitalized. However, its eyes had opened, while Ertong’s eyes had not moved. Two of them opened their eyes, meowing, and the little fluffy balls lit up by their eyeballs became more lovely.

Looking away from Ertong, Mu Wan looked up at Liu Qianxiu and asked, “Will Ertong’s eyes open tomorrow?” Mu Wan fed the kitten, and Liu Qianxiu didn’t go in. He stood outside the kitten’s room and looked down at the three little ones in the cat litter. After dinner, Liu Qianxiu went to the bedroom to change his clothes, which were made of cotton and linen. He also wore light brown trousers with wide sleeves and wide legs. It was comfortable and elegant. Liu Qianxiu’s slender body supported his clothes, which smelled like a fairy style. “Ertong will open its eyes tonight.” Liu Qianxiu replied.

He said tonight, but she still needs to figure out what time. Mu Wan looked at the time and stood up after shaking the empty milk bottle. She glanced at the time again, and it was at half-past eight. Mu Wan walked out of the kitten room, stood beside Liu Qianxiu like a red rose, and handed it to his eyes.

“What time do you usually rest?” Mu Wan asked.

He didn’t know what she intended, so Liu Qianxiu only replied.

“Ten o’clock.”

“Ah.” Mu Wan opened her lips a bit, expressing her clarity. She raised her eyes slightly, her gaze shifted momentarily, and then she asked hesitantly: “Can I wait until half-past nine? I don’t want to keep you from rest and won’t bother you. I only want to look at Ertong’s eyes.”

After speaking, Mu Wan sensed something was wrong. Liu Qianxiu should sit cross-legged and meditate when it is ten o’clock. It’s his time to be alone, and he should hate someone disrupting his life.

She can infiltrate his life a bit, but she can’t make him hate her, so it’s counterproductive.

She frowned slightly. When Mu Wan was about to speak, Liu Qianxiu interrupted her and said, “Yes.”

Mu Wan raised her eyebrows and raised her eyes to look at Liu Qianxiu. The latter’s expression did not change. He took the bottle in her hand and cleaned it before leaving the cat’s room.

For an hour, Mu Wan, who got the consent, hadn’t always stayed in the kitten room. Muwan waited long in the kitten’s room, but Ertong fell asleep in the cat litter. She also got up and went out of the cat’s room.

The lights in the living room were off. Only the desk lamp on the low table was on. The soft light released from under the lampshade cut the darkness into a circle of light.

Under the halo, the light shone, and Liu Qianxiu sat cross-legged in front of the lamp with a book in hand, looking at it calmly.

Liu Qianxiu’s appearance is too pale, not because his facial features are shallow. On the contrary, the shadow divides his face under the light into bright and dark sides. Along the forehead, his brow bones and nose bridge form a three-dimensional, making his face a sharp facial line.

However, his temperament is light. No matter how sharp his facial features are, they are subservient to his light personality, becoming pure and indifferent, tranquil and far-reaching.

Mu Wan’s slow heartbeat began to accelerate again.

She stood there, quietly looking at Liu Qianxiu. When he turned the page, he looked up and saw her. Mu Wan’s lips slightly opened when he discovered her, and she pointed to the kitten room: “Ertong is sleeping.”

She was a little bored.

Liu Qianxiu didn’t change his movements and asked, “Do you want to read a book?”

“Okay.” Mu Wan removed her shoes, walked barefoot, and sat cross-legged with him.

The couch was not too small, and Liu Qianxiu was quiet enough to use it alone. If Mu Wan sat there, it wouldn’t feel too crowded. After she walked over, she sat beside Liu Qianxiu and glanced at the book in Liu Qianxiu’s hand. The book’s layout is vertical, the pages are yellowing, and they look old.

“What book are you reading?” Mu Wan stretched her neck slightly, leaning forward, and her eyelids closed.

Liu Qianxiu handed over the book in his hand, and Mu Wan touched it and flicked the pages with her finger, feeling indescribable.

This book looks like an ancient book.

After getting the book, Mu Wan came back to her senses afterwards. Although there are few things in Liu Qianxiu’s living room, they all have a taste of ancient simplicity. It doesn’t look like high imitation antiques during decoration, but it seems true.

For example, this side table has looked like antique furniture for many years. It is inconspicuous at first glance. However, when Mu Wan approached it, exquisite carved patterns were on it, and there was a faint smell of sandalwood.

The murals on the wall in the living room are not like the ones painted later. Instead, they look like they were cut from somewhere and embedded. Lin Wei was a fine arts student, and she influenced Mu Wan. She thought that the painting method of this mural was very classical. The whole mural is full of introverted beauty.

Like the gods in the figure paintings, Liu Qianxiu’s exposure to these antiquities is elegant, sacred, and out of reach.

Looking at Liu Qianxiu, Mu Wan gradually lost consciousness.

The book handed to her didn’t turn the page. After a while, Liu Qianxiu raised his eyes to look at her and met Mu Wan’s gaze looking at him. This time, Mu Wan didn’t look away. The two of them looked at each other, and she laughed openly.

Liu Qianxiu glanced at the Book of Ethics, “Tao Te Ching,” in her hand, raised his eyes, and asked her, “Why don’t you read the book?”

Mu Wan looked at The Book of Ethics, “Tao Te Ching,” in her hand. It was hard to understand classical Chinese and traditional characters. Mu Wan couldn’t recognize all the letters, so she ignored them.

“I don’t understand.”

Liu Qian’s eyebrows and eyes drooped slightly, turning the book’s page in his hand, and his fingers became transparent through the yellowed pages. With a faint tone, Liu Qianxiu said, “Look, can you understand it?”

He exposed her, but Mu Wan was not embarrassed when she shook her head and said, “I don’t understand.”

She was telling the truth. Liu Qianxiu seemed to be a doctor, a Taoist priest, and nothing. He is like a hidden master. The more you understand him, the more you feel he is unfathomable. However, he treats everyone frankly, like looking at the bottom of the pool. You can see the rock at the bottom, but you don’t know how deep it is.

It doesn’t matter how deep it is now, but she can measure it little by little. Thinking of this, Mu Wan added: “But you look better than a book.”

Liu Qianxiu raised his eyes, and Mu Wan was smiling. However, his eyes returned to the book, and there was no trace of where she just saw.

Seeing him turn back and continue to read, Mu Wan was a little bored, and the paper in her hand rustled. She put her arm on the low table, put her head on top, and looked sideways at him.

“Liu Qianxiu.” Mu Wan’s voice was sweet and delicious in the empty and quiet living room.

Liu Qianxiu didn’t lift his head but only responded with a low voice.

“Yeah.”

Mu Wan listened to his voice echoing in her ears. She raised her head, looked at the outline of his profile, and asked: “Do you like living alone, right?”

Under a lamp, the two sat down separately in a small corner. Liu Qianxiu sat upright and cross-legged, while Mu Wan’s body twisted like a snake, lazy and peaceful.

“Why do you ask that?”

Mu Wan thought, “Because you have always been alone.”

Liu Qianxiu’s throat moved slightly, and his eyes fell on the words in the book. His tone was flat, and he said lightly: “Now, there are two people.”

Incurable Chapter 12 Part 1

Mu Wan ordered stir-fried asparagus prawns and salted fried chicken wings. 

After ordering, the two of them went to the supermarket they visited together yesterday.

After seven o’clock in the evening, the supermarket was full of people, and Mu Wan looked like a drop of red ink in water. She was like a kite, drawing people’s attention, and her final position was always next to Liu Qianxiu.

Today, Mu Wan dressed up specially. Liu Qianxiu only looked at her, but he didn’t seem moved. But Mu Wan doesn’t matter because she likes him. If he doesn’t look at her, she will look at him.

In the vegetable area, Mu Wan pushed the shopping cart. With her slender white arm resting on the shopping cart’s handle, she watched Liu Qianxiu stand there and pick up the green bamboo shoots. The green bamboo shoots are thin and symmetrical, narrow at the top and broad at the bottom. They are neatly wrapped in a plastic box, covered with plastic wrap, and shining slightly under the light. The man who held the box of green bamboo shoots has cold white fingers like green bamboo shoots, which are well-defined, slender, and clean.

It’s beautiful. Mu Wan’s eyes are clear and bright, and she can’t hide her love in her eyes.

Liu Qianxiu noticed her gaze and turned his head to look at her, but Mu Wan turned her sight away. The corners of her lips had an unconcealed curvature, and her ears became slightly warm.

Liu Qianxiu turned his head back and continued to pick vegetables. Mu Wan also turned her head and continued to look at him. The two went back and forth like that. Mu Wan was full of joy.

After buying vegetables, Liu Qianxiu pushed the shopping cart in front of the line, waiting for the checkout. Mu Wan stood behind him, looking at the people around the checkout.

The checkout line was very long, but only some people were as tall as Liu Qianxiu. She looked up at his upright back and compared the width of their bodies. If Liu Qianxiu had turned around, he should have been able to wrap her body completely.

When she was merely thinking about it, Liu Qianxiu looked back. Mu Wan’s sight stopped, and she turned her head lightly toward the small shelf beside her.

The little shelves at the cash register are full of colourful snacks, such as chewing gum, mouth-clear candy, and chocolate beans in dazzling red and green packages.

Mu Wan finally saw a box of matcha-flavored chocolate beans. The green box body is simplistic and elegant. The top of the chocolate beans is wrapped in chocolate, while the inside is a light green matcha with a fresh colour.

Mu Wan looked at the bottle’s net contents and calculated how many chocolate beans were inside. In her eyesight, a hand stretched into the shelf. The well-defined fingers curled and took one of the boxes of chocolates. The box of chocolates appeared before her in the blink of an eye.

With her heartbeat jumping fast, Mu Wan raised her head and met Liu Qianxiu’s eyes.

His eyes were still calm. He looked at her and shook the chocolate in his hand. The chocolate hit the box and made a clear sound. Liu Qianxiu asked, “Either?” The chocolate melted in my heart, and Mu Wan smiled, “You want to buy it for me?”

The voice is sweeter than chocolate.
“Yeah.”

“Then I want it.”

After receiving confirmation, Liu Qianxiu retracted his gaze and turned around with the chocolate. He put the chocolate box into the shopping cart with a crisp sound.

Leaning over at Liu Qianxiu, Mu Wan looks at the chocolate surrounded by vegetables in the shopping cart. The chocolate is also green, but its colour is much lighter.
“Why did you buy this for me?” Mu Wan tilted his head and looked at him with a smile in her eyes.

Liu Qianxiu didn’t turn around. He just looked at her sideways. After meeting her eyes, he returned his gaze and said flatly, “You’ve just been staring at it.”

I was looking at you all the time. Would you give yourself to me, too?

Mu Wan laughed, but Liu Qianxiu didn’t know why she was laughing. Then, Mu Wan took her body back with a smile and her hands as if to give a hollow hug on Liu Qianxiu’s back.

Then you are mine now.

After paying the bill, Mu Wan took the chocolates, and Liu Qianxiu took the ingredients he bought. The two got in the car one after another and went home.

After he got home, Liu Qianxiu carried the ingredients into the kitchen. Mu Wan changed into her slippers and asked Liu Qianxiu if he needed help. After being denied, Mu Wan shook the chocolate box and went to the kitten’s room.

It was already dark, and the darkness enveloped the kitchen, but it was not as lonely as before. The sound of chocolate hitting the box came through the glass, adding a layer of life to the enormous house. Liu Qianxiu turned on the kitchen light, listened to the movement next door, and went to the sink.

Putting the shopping bag into the sink, Liu Qianxiu took out the spinach. A while ago, in the supermarket, Mu Wan saw that the spinach colour looked good, and finally enriched the menu and ordered a spinach egg soup.

Drops of water sprayed by supermarket steam are also on the spinach. The leaves are crisp, and the roots are covered with mud and freshwater. When Liu Qianxiu took it out, the spinach was cold, and his fingers were stained with dirt.
“Datou opened its eyes.”

MuWan’ss surprised voice came from outside the door. Liu Qianxiu turned around. Mu Wan stood at the door with her red lips rising and her eyes full of joy. Seeing Liu Qianxiu turning his back, Mu Wan stretched out her slender and beautiful finger. She pointed to the kitten room and suggested: “Would you like to go and see it.”

It had been almost ten days since the kitten was born, so it was time to open its eyes. Liu Qianxiu thought about the vegetables in the sink and his fingers, which were moist with mud. Finally, he turned on the faucet to rinse his fingers and said, “Okay.”

Mu Wan turned around and left. She walked in a hurry, and her skirt was flying. The red shadow disappeared from sight, and Liu Qianxiu followed her.

Mu Wan squatted in the kitten room, watching the three kittens lying together. The kittens had the same mother, but only Datou could half-open its eyes, and she could see the light golden pupil colour.

Maybe it was because the cat was still small or yellowish, so Datou’s eye colour was not as bright as ZhouYi’s. However, its eye colour was soft and waxy, like a crystal pumpkin cake steamed transparent by water.

While she was watching Datou, Liu Qianxiu walked into the room. Mu Wan looked up, and her eyes were full of laughter. After laughing, she reached out and held Datou in her palm.

Based on the palms of her hands and the kittens’ size, Datou had grown a bit in a few days. She held it cautiously, Datou’s eyes half-opened, its transparent pink claw opened and closed, and she cried softly. She carried Datou and handed it to his hand, then said to him: “Look.”

Mu Wan wanted Liu Qianxiu to hold onto Datou and craved to give him all her good things. Liu Qianxiu raised his eyes and glanced at her. His eyelids drooped, and he took it with his hand.

The moment when Liu Qianxiu picked it up, Mu Wan looked at him and began to laugh.
“Our two eyes looked very similar.” Mu Wan said.

Datou, in his hand, stared at him, meowing with a thin, sweet, and soft cry. Liu Qianxiu looked at Datou’s light golden eyes and then at MuWan’s eyes, which were as clean and clear as before, with a broken light.

The light in her eyes jumped slightly, MuWan’s eyes trembled, and a layer of heat floated on her face. She raised her hand and fanned her face. Then, she pointed at Datou and said, “We only have you in our eyes.”

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 235

~ MU CHENG’S CAUSE OF DEATH ~ 

Steward Qin opened his mouth and said, “Without Miss’s permission, I took the initiative to investigate the cause of death of Miss Mu’s father. Please forgive me. Your father didn’t fall overboard and die. He was killed secretly by the people who did business with him. And the person who killed your father was assassinated after he left the Capital, and no one in his family was spared. Because the time gap is too far apart, and the matter did not leave much of a clue, so at the moment, we are unable to find out who did it.”

Mu Yunyao held the paper, her eyes filled with endless coldness. “Thank you for your trouble, Steward Qin.”

“There’s another thing. There’s news from the Capital. The Su family had already received news about Madam and Miss Mu and had sent people to Xiayan Village to investigate Miss’s identity. With the ability of the Su family, it would not be long before they found out that Miss was in Jingling City, and they would send people to acknowledge her relatives.”

Mu Yunyao memorized the contents of the paper and then dissolved it into a cup of tea. “Since Steward Qin mentioned the Su family, then I also have something to tell you. If the Su family comes to fetch Mother and me, I’m afraid that I wouldn’t be able to help Bu Xian Luo.”Seeing that Mu Yunyao heard the news about the Su Family and was not the least bit surprised, Steward Qin thought for a bit, then he smiles with full of trust, “Previously Madam said that the distance between the Capital and Jingling City isn’t too far. If you take the water route, you can reach it in a few short days, and it’s very convenient to send letters, so Miss Mu doesn’t need to leave Bu Xian Luo.”

“Steward Qin, people don’t speak in secret. Earlier, I wanted to return Bu Xian Luo completely to Yue Wang.”

“This... Miss, I am just a servant, so I don’t know what Wang Ye is planning to do with Bu Xian Luu. About this matter, you still need to discuss it with Your Highness personally!”

Even though Mu Yunyao knew that Steward Qin was saying this in order to act shamelessly, when she saw the smile on his face and thought about how he had taken care of her and her mother all this time, she still couldn’t wholly harden her heart, “Steward Qin, you all understand that controlling Bu Xian Luo alone is more beneficial to Wang Ye than harm. Now that I have gotten involved with the Su Family, is Your Highness not afraid of me going against him?”

“This... This old servant has always been stupid, and I don’t understand how many of these things are at stake. If you have anything to say, you should discuss it with Wang Ye, but this old servant believes in Miss Mu that you have always been kind-hearted.”

Steward Qin is going to pretend to be stupid. He clearly knew what kind of person Miss Mu was after spending so much time together. As long as he did not endanger Madam Su and her safety, she was definitely not the type of person who would secretly stab someone in the dark. Otherwise, Wang Ye would not have let Miss Mu know many secrets in Bu Xian Luo.

Mu Yunyao was unable to do anything and could only temporarily put aside the matter regarding Bu Xian Luo.

Steward Qin took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and respectfully passed it to Mu Yunyao. “There’s one more thing that I wish to trouble Miss.”

Mu Yunyao opened the slip of paper and saw many properties and names clearly written on it. “Steward Qin, what is the meaning of this?”

“These properties and workforces were all things that Wang Ye had left in the Capital at the beginning. For many years, these people have been living alone and had no one to take care of them in the Capital. When Miss Mu returned to the Su family’s residence in the Capital, I hope Miss Mu can find some time to meet these people and help them. Of course, if Miss Mu has anything to do, you can rest assured that they will do as you ask.”

Mu Yunyao was stunned, and then she felt warmth in her heart. She could not help sighing. She had made up her mind to break off the involvement with Yue Wang. If she continued to accept his kindness, She’s afraid he would sink even deeper into the abyss: “You’re not bothering me. It’s obvious that you’re afraid of the people who will come after me in the Capital and afraid that I’m not familiar with my life, so you give me a ready-made helper, but please forgive me for not accepting …”

Steward Qin smiled and said, “Miss, don’t be in such a rush to refuse. I know you are intelligent and have your own plans, but it is always good to have one more path. Please remember the people above carefully. If you can’t use them, then you only need to pretend they don’t exist. What if you use them in case? Besides, one’s ability would eventually there’s a limit. If you want to protect your mother, you have to have more cards up your sleeves.”

Mu Yunyao’s fingers tightened slightly. When it involved Su Qing, she couldn’t help but think further. Steward Qin said something that reasonable. A person doesn’t have three heads and six arms, and there would always be omissions. If someone had an opportunity, she wouldn’t be able to afford to gamble In this way. “In that case, thank you very much, Steward Qin.”

The smile on Steward Qin’s face instantly brightened: “No need to be so polite, Miss. I will take my leave first.”

Mu Yunyao sent Steward Qin to the door and instructed Jin Lan, who was standing by the side of the door, “Jin Lan, send Steward Qin off.”

Jin Lan hurriedly replied, “Yes, Miss.”

Returning to her seat, Mu Yunyao looked at the property and name written on the table and couldn’t help but take a breath: “I’ll have to find a way to make up for the debt I owe today.” However, if things went on like this, she would have to deal with Yue Wang more often. The deeper their relationship was, the more difficult it would be to break it off …,

Su Qing takes Si Qin and others to come in. Some time ago, she invited Mama (old main) to teach the rule. Not only Jin Lan, Jin Qiao, and the others had learned the rules, but also Su Qing was busy asking for advice. After Mu Yunyao knew about it, she did not stop her. Instead, she took the initiative to tell her about the Su family’s character and their connection in the Capital.

Even though half a month wasn’t a long time, Su Qing’s demeanor and manner had changed to be extraordinarily elegant.

“Yao’er, I saw shopkeeper Qin come just now. What’s the matter?”

Mu Yunyao thought for a moment. She didn’t plan to tell Su Qing about the odd cause of her father’s death right now. “He just came to ask about the future arrangements of Bu Xian Luo. It’s not that big of a deal.” This matter hadn’t been investigated thoroughly. It would only make her mother sad and wouldn’t be of any help to me.

“That’s good.”

As time passed day by day, Su Qing’s heart became more and more anxious. She even had the feeling that both sides were fighting together. Mu Yunyao didn’t know how to comfort her with words when she saw this. After all, even she couldn’t help but feel anxious.

On July 15th, when Mu Yunyao had just gotten up, she felt her heart beating fiercely. She couldn’t help but hold her chest. After drink water twice, but was still unable to suppress the panic in her heart.

When Jin Lan saw her pale face, she rushed forward to support her. “Miss, what’s the matter with you? What’s wrong?”

Mu Yunyao shook her head. “Go tell Mother that she’s not going to Ni Yun Fang today. Just stay at home!” Vaguely, she had a strong hunch that the Su family would send someone over today.

After Su Qing heard her words, he hurriedly came over to accompany Mu Yunyao.

The two finished their breakfast in silence, then sat down quietly. When the sun was about to set, Liu Liang appeared at the door. He knelt down and greeted: “Reporting to Madam and Miss, someone at the door requests an audience. He claims to be from the Su family in the Capital,”

It’s finally here!

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 234

~ PREPARATION BEFORE RETURNING TO THE SU FAMILY’S RESIDENCE ~ 

Mu Yunyao smiled slightly and kept her needlework before leaning back on the soft couch and letting Jin Lan massage her arm. “The clothes sold in Ni Yun Fang are already so expensive, and Niyun Beauty booklet is even more expensive. The beauty booklet is the face of Ni Yun Fang. If you don’t put on some good face now, it won’t be long before you destroy the brand of Ni Yun Fang.”

“It’s this servant who thought wrong.”
 
Mu Yunyao looked at the various embroidery threads around her, her expression extremely calm. “Jin Lan, what day is it today?”

“It’s almost the beginning of July …” Mu Yunyao’s vision gradually emptied. She remembers very clearly that on July 2nd in her previous life, her grandmother Li forced her to mow the grass in the mountain, and in the end, she was chased and killed in the mountains. After hunting her down, she rolled down and ran into a gorgeous carriage, then passed out.

When she woke up, she had sent back to the Li family’s residence, and immediately following that, the Su family sent someone to pick her up on July 15th. She later heard by chance that the people who had enmity with the Su family found out about her relationship with the Su family and intentionally sent people to kill her.

But now, she and her mother had come to Jingling City, and there are also two industries: Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Lou. They had rewarded by the Emperor many times, and their reputation also has spread widely. She didn’t know if the Su family has found out the identity of her and her mother. Then, would their so-called enemies send people to assassinate them?

Su Qing had already returned from the New Ni Yun Fang. Mu Yunyao stood up to welcome her mother, “Mother, you’ve returned. Are you tired today?”

“With so many people helping me, I only need to move my mouth. What’s so tiring?” Su Qing looked at Mu Yunyao’s smiling face, and her heart relaxed. She then pulled her aside and sat down.

Jin Lan and Jin Qiao went down and hurriedly ordered people to prepare food.

Mu Yunyao leaned against Su Qing and sat quietly, but her heart was very restless. “Mother, are you thinking about the Su family as well?”

“Yeah, the days are getting closer and closer, and my heart is getting more and more anxious. Now that our mother and daughter live in a comfortable life, it would be great if we didn’t return to the Su family’s residence.” Su Qing sighed.

“There are some things that we can’t avoid, not to mention our identity is there. Sooner or later, the Su family will definitely discover us.”

Su Qing couldn’t help but sigh, “Since we can’t avoid it, we’ll deal with it properly. However, I can’t understand why the Su family persecuted you like that in your previous life.”

Mu Yunyao’s eyelashes trembled slightly: “This is also what I can’t understand. In my previous life, I was helpless. According to the Su family’s way of doing things, they should know how to use me to win a good reputation and won’t begrudge me for a decent dowry. However, the Su family has embarrassed me many times, and they have secretly trying to kill me many times. Now to think of it, there’s something very unusual about it.”

“This is indeed a puzzling place. Logically speaking, you are the granddaughter of the Old Madam of the Su family, and you have suffered many years of living outside. At that time, you were physically disabled, so there was no hindrance in the Su family. They just gave you an extra mouthful of food. Why are their hearts so vicious?”

Mu Yunyao’s expression sank a little bit, feeling Su Qing trembling with anger, and she couldn’t help holding her hand: “Mother, don’t worry too much. You can always find things out bit by bit. The Su family doesn’t treat us like family, so we don’t need to worry about blood ties.”

Su Qing held onto Mu Yunyao’s hand tightly, and her heart was drenched in a cold sweat, “Yao’er, don’t worry. I naturally understand what you mean. After experiencing your grandmother’s matter, Mother also understood a lot. Good people will always get bullied. We won’t take the initiative to harm others, but if other people harm us, we must retaliate without holding back.”

She knew that Old Madam Su was her mother, but it was impossible for her to harm her own daughter for a person she had never seen before. It didn’t matter if they said that she was selfish and unfilial or that she was heartless and ruthless. She would rather bear all the evil reputation and wish for her own daughter would be safe.

Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but smile. With her mother’s unconditional support, it made her feel as if her heart had soaked in warm water. Her entire body felt comfortable as she lazily said, “Didn’t Mother always teach me to be good to others? Why is it that the words spoken today are even more unyielding?”

“Foolish child, mother wants you to be kind to others because good people will always get favored by heaven, but Mother also doesn’t want you to get bullied. Now that I’ve interacted with so many ladies in Ni Yun Fang and seen their dirty families, big or small. If I still don’t understand, Mother is really foolish.”

“Mother, don’t worry. I will definitely protect you from the Su family’s bullying.”

“Alright, Mother naturally believes in Yao’er.” Su Qing couldn’t help but touching Mu Yunyao’s hair with emotion in her heart, “Yao’er, don’t worry too much. These days, I can see that you’ve been worrying all day. So you must be thinking about the Su family’s matters. There’s always a way to deal with them, no matter how difficult it is.”

“Alright.” Mu Yunyao nodded and finally felt a bit more relaxed in her heart. “Mother, I plan to find someone to teach Jin Lan, Jin Qiao, and the others properly about the rule. In Capital, even these servants represent their Master’s face. If they don’t know how to behave or can’t be polite, it’s not good for them and us.”

Moreover, she wanted to put a trustworthy mama (old maid) beside Su Qing. Recently, Liu Liang asked a lot about her. She had chosen one, who was released from the palace before, so the way to deal with the backyard should not be a problem.

“Okay, merely make the arrangements. Also, we need to start arranging transactions at Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo as well. If the Su family come over in advance, and we don’t make the arrangements well, there might be a lot of trouble.”

After chatting with Su Qing, Mu Yunyao began to prepare for the next time. The rules for JinLan, Jin Qiao, and the others are easy to learn. They only needed to ask that mama for a few things. Fortunately, Mu Yunyao was able to grasp her thoughts and directly signed a contract.

Ni Yun Fang has gone very steadily at every step. Now, there were a few more shops in other cities, and they also had their own shopkeepers to control them. Besides, there is Liu Liang, who helped to arrange things, so it wasn’t a big deal. It’s Bu Xian Luo, which makes Mu Yunyao feel a little headache.

She had already made up her mind that she would not get involved with Bu Xian Luo any longer. However, after Yue Wang had left, Steward Qin only pretended to be confused and came to consult as usual whenever he encountered a problem. Moreover, the other party had a good relationship with her mother, so every time she didn’t want to bother with it, her mother would come over and tell her to continue to help.

On this day, Mu Yunyao was in the midst of arranging the clothes for Ni Yun Fang would make next when Jin Lan, who was at the door, came in and reported, “Miss, Shopkeeper Qin has arrived.”

“Send him in.”

Steward Qin was so anxious that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. After entering the door, he bowed respectfully to Mu Yunyao and said, “Greetings, Miss Mu. I have an urgent matter to report to Miss Mu.”

Mu Yunyao’s heart stirred, and she waved her hand to allow Jin Lan and Jin Qiao to withdraw. “Please speak, Steward Qin.”

Steward Qin took out a letter from his sleeve, “Please have a look, Miss.”

Mu Yunyao opened the letter. After she finished reading it, she couldn’t help but frown.

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 233

~ MADAM SU IS IN TIME FOR THE RAIN ~ 

Mu Yunyao looked at the account book that Steward Qin had brought. Just as she was about to refuse, she saw Su Qing walk in.

“I heard that Shopkeeper Qin had come over, so I came to take a look. Coincidentally, the house had made some new refreshments, which Yao’er found to be very tasty. If it is useful, you could put it into Bu Xian Luo, which would add a little more income.”

Steward Qin smiled and bowed to Su Qing, “Thank you, Madam.”

Su Qing had a great impression of Shopkeeper Qin, so she quickly shook her head: “This is the prescription that I asked Si Qin to copy down.”

Steward Qin did not stand on ceremony and directly received it with both hands. “I will have my subordinates carefully study it when I get back. If they can use it, I will need to thank Madam properly.”

“There is no need for Shopkeeper Qin to be so polite.” Su Qing took a looked at Mu Yunyao, “Yao’er, you have to do your best in matters of Bu Xian Luo. Don’t be so lazy.”

Mu Yunyao glanced at Steward Qin, who had earnest eyes and could only nod in agreement. “I understand, Mother. I will carefully look through the account books and think over the countermeasures. After I’ve thought it over, I will write down the method to solve the problem and have someone send it to Jin Xiu Garden.”

“Alright, then I’ll be troubling Miss Mu.” Steward Qin was unable to contain his joy. He hurriedly stood up and bowed. “In that case, I won’t disturb Madam and Miss Mu anymore. Goodbye.”

Mu Yunyao was about to get up, but she saw Su Qing take a step forward hurriedly: “Yao’er, you think carefully about the countermeasures. I’ll send Shopkeeper Qin to the door and will discuss about the snacks too.”

Mu Yunyao blinked in surprise. Before she could say anything, Su Qing had already left.

“Thank you for preparing the pastries and meals for our Young Master, Madam. Young Master has always accompanied by Yu Heng, but unfortunately for him, that fellow has thought over much, and his mind is as thick as hemp, so it’s extremely inconsiderate when it comes to taking care of people.”

When Su Qing heard this, she was slightly surprised, “That’s why it’s so inconvenient when you are away. When Young Master Ning returns home, it will be fine to have a maid to take care of his daily life.”

Steward Qin smiled and shook his head. “Madam, you can see that our family’s Young Master has a cold temperament and does not like to get close to outsiders. Usually, .ost of his daily life is done by himself. Yu Heng, who is around his side, would only listen to orders and run errands for him. For these chores, people in the family have also told him several times about this. Master also pointed out about the family affairs. But unfortunately, they were all pushed away by Young Master. Our Young Master is now 21 and doesn’t even have a maid around him. Those who don’t know would have guessed what Young Master’s hidden ailment might have. In fact, our Young Master is simple-minded and only wants to find a suitable woman who will spend the rest of his life with him. If he can’t find one, I am afraid that he will grow old lonely and will die alone.”

“It’s rare for Young Master Ning to have this kind of thought.” Su Qing’s mind wavered. After returning to the Su family, their mother and daughter were also helpless. In the future, Yao’er’s marriage would have to be constrained by the Su family. If Young Master Ning could become a good match, although he was older, it would not matter as long as he treats Yao’er well.

“Yeah, it’s just that Young Master has a tactless mouth and can’t say anything in his heart, so it’s made someone easily misunderstood him. At home, Old Master also doesn’t like his dull temperament. Several Young Masters count him as the least valued. However, when he heard that something happened at home, he had to rush back immediately even if he was sick. Our Young Master is actually the most filial, sigh...”

When Su Qing thought of the pale appearance of Yue Wangwhen he left, she couldn’t help but worry a little more. “Young Master Ning is truly filial …”

Steward Qin’s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly lowered his head. It was better to say something that would make people wonder: “That’s right, it has been such a long time, which is during this year’s new year, Young Master has revealed a slight smile and even said that he very much likes Madam’s steamed buns.”

After chatting with Shopkeeper Qin for a while, Su Qing’s impression of Yue Wang unknowingly rose a few steps. “Please take care, Shopkeeper Qin.” She wondered if it would be possible to meet Young Master Ning in the Capital when she and Yao’er returned to the Su family. Then I can think about it carefully later.

“Mistress, please stay here.”

When he returned to Jin Xiu Garden, Steward Qin looked somewhat little worried about things, “I don’t know what kind of conflict between Miss Mu and Wang Ye. I only hope that my hard work has not been in vain.”

Very quickly, Mu Yunyao didn’t have the mood to think about Yue Wang’s matters. In the following time, news about the salt tax spread like wildfire.

The evidence that the salt merchants accused Li Yuanyi against was very conclusive. Although Li Yuanyi was unwilling to admit it, the Emperor did not listen to his deceptive arguments at all. He directly asked people to take away Dingdai Hualing and ent him to the prison of the Ministry of punishment for interrogation.

Some Imperial Envoys had sent to Yangzhou city. Without much effort, the ins and outs of the matter investigated clearly. The three influential salt merchant families of Wu, Wei, Cao, and the other salt merchants that participated in the salt fraud case were all plundered. Many people said that that the number of silver taels that had seized was tens of millions, which immediately caused the Imperial Court has shaken up and down.

Everyone knew that the salt merchant was wealthy, but they didn’t realize that the salt merchant had already reached a state where their wealth was comparable to that of a nation!

The other salt merchants also failed to escape. They were all detained and interrogated. Under all sorts of interrogation techniques, not only did they find out about the deficit in the salt tax and the conspiracy with officials to sell illegal salt, but also they find out about several lawsuits involving other people’s lives.

Mu Yunyao arranged a comprehensive plan in advance. Although Qi Ming was involved in this matter, Yue Wang had provided Qi Ming’s identity in advance, which played a lot as cover and did not let Qi Ming and Yi Bao Xuan deeply investigated.

The Li family would suffer a heavy blow from this incident, but cutting off some of their branches and leaves would have no impact on their foundation. The officials who came to investigate the case didn’t want to touch that easily because of a common name, who isn’t deeply involved in the case.

This matter had publicized for over a month before it gradually subsided. The aftermath of this event was still brewing non-stop in Jiangnan.

Li Yuanyi saved his life, but he got sentenced to exile. Whether he can come back alive will depend on his luck. The First Prince and the Li family had restrained themselves and were no longer as arrogant as before.

Mu Yunyao didn’t have time to carefully ponder over the feelings she’d had after Yue Wang left, and she threw herself into a new round of busyness. Previously, she had already sent a letter to the Capital, asking Lady Jin to investigate the Court’s attitude towards Ni Yun Fang. But now, she had received the reply. A few people have a very generous attitude towards Ni Yun Fang. With the Emperor’s praises of Ni Yun Fang and the reputation she had left behind, Mu Yunyao was finally able to reap the rewards. She could develop the Ni Yun Fang very well!

Mu Yunyao has a lot of silver in her hand. A part of it is enough to spread the opening of Ni Yun Fang. Previously, the embroidery techniques had spread very widely. So it’s easy to recruit female embroiderers, and you can choose the best from the best. The storefronts are all ready-made, and you can open the business if you spend some time carefully decorating it.

The next two months seemed to have passed in the blink of an eye. With Jingling City as the center, Ni Yun Fang opened stores in Yangzhou City, Suzhou City, Huai’an City, and Linjiang City ..., and they opened stores one after another.

Mu Yunyao packed a new batch of Niyun Beauty booklet and handed them to Liu Liang, asking him to send them to Yangzhou city overnight.

On one side, Jin Lan helped Mu Yunyao massage her aching arm and looked at her tired look. She was very distressed and said, “Miss, now we recruited many female embroiderers. You only need to draw the design well and let them make the beauty booklet. Although there is a gap between their craftsmanship and Miss, it’s still remarkable enough to put them in the store. It’s too hard for you to embroider by yourself.”
