Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 264

~PLAY TRICK ON THE DARK ~ 

Su Qingwu slightly blinked, as a strange look flashed in his eyes and then returned to tranquility. “Then let’s properly take good care of her. No matter how much it costs, you definitely can’t leave any scars on Miss Meng’s leg.” 

“Yes.”

“Yuyi, arrange someone to send Miss Meng back now. What happened afterward…”

“Wait!” Two maidservants helped Meng Yanran to walked out slowly, and her eyes full of triumph. She moved slowly to Mu Yunyao, raised her arm, and slapped Mu Yunyao viciously!

“Pah!”

This time, Mu Yunyao didn’t dodge and instead received a forceful slap. Her fair and tender face immediately turned red and swollen, and her appearance was very frightening.

Meng Yanran lifted the corners of her lips vaguely and raised her hand to hit again. She saw Mu Yunyao slowly raise her eyes. The innocence within them faded away and was replaced with endless coldness and viciousness, as though a black whirlpool had appeared in her eyes. The chill was overwhelming, as though it could swallow people in the blink of an eye.

Meng Yanran was intimidated by the look in her eyes, and she quickly took a step back. Her heart pounded heavily, “You …. How dare you look at me like that? What a vile person. Not only did you injure me, you even have an extremely indignant expression. It looks like you ruined my leg, so all I did was slap you for some interest. Now let’s talk about how you should compensate!”

Mu Yunyao raised her hand and gently caressed her swollen face. The stinging pain caused the hostility in her heart to grow even more intense. “I thought that since the Capital is under the hands of the Emperor, it should be the justest. I didn’t expect that on the second day since I arrived at the Capital, I’ve already witnessed what it means to be indistinguishable between black and white!”

Meng Yanran raised her lips triumphantly and sneered in her heart. She had never expected that her legs would be fine after took off her dress as Doctor Lin told her to. Not to mention scalding, there was not even a little trace of redness on them. The heart-wrenching pain had also disappeared. She had initially thought that she had made big trouble this time but didn’t expect that Doctor Lin’s face would remain the same as ever as she applied medicine to her legs and bandaged them, then Doctor Lin wait on her to change her clothes.

Meng Yanran immediately understood the meaning of Doctor Lin, and she immediately calmed down. No matter how arrogant Mu Yunyao was, so what? The Old Madam didn’t like her, so it would be easy for her to punish her. Even if she slapped Mu Yunyao, wouldn’t she dare to retaliate?

“Mu Yunyao, you said before that as long as I have any injuries on my body, you would break your legs and compensate me. Now with Doctor Lin as a witness, don’t even think of denying it.”

Su Yuyi stood beside Meng Yanran and lightly hooked her arm around hers, “Little Sister Yanran, I know that you have suffered greatly this time, but we are cousins after all. If you broke Cousin Yunyao’s legs, what does it look like when I go out? Please, for my sake, forgive her this time.”

Meng Yanran looked at Mu Yunyao with disdain at the corner of her eyes, “I didn’t want to argue with her. After all, it’s understandable for a girl who has grown up in the countryside to have no rules, but she is too arrogant. After hurting me, not only was there no apology, but it was instead an overbearing attack. If it wasn’t because of the presence of Doctor Lin just now, I’m afraid that she relied on her sharp tongue and smooth mouth to deceive Cousin Qingwu in order to establish her name. How can I spare such a vile and vicious person?”

“This …” Su Yuyi was very embarrassed on her face, and she glanced at Mu Yunyao apologetically, saying that she was helpless.

Su Qingwu stood up and said, “Yunyao, apologize to Miss Meng and ask her to treat you lightly.”

Meng Yanran curled her lips and slowly sat down on a chair on the side, “Since Cousin Qingwu has spoken, I will always give him face. If you kneel down and pour tea for me to apologize to, I can consider letting you keep your legs crossed and only hit you twenty times.”

Mu Yunyao’s gaze was exceptionally sharp, and her tone was neither humble nor overbearing, “No need. I’ll always keep my promise. Just have someone break my legs.”

“Yunyao, don’t mess around!” Su Qingwu turned around and looked at her with a solemn expression on his face. “Pour tea to Miss Meng and admit your mistake!”

Mu Yunyao’s lips moved slightly as she resolutely spat out one word, “No!” She wanted to see how these monsters like the Su family would harm her. Aren’t you all here to cause trouble? Then make a lot of noise, and let’s see whether the Su family can hold it in the end!

“How can you be so stubborn?” Su Qingwu frowned, his eyes filled with disapproval.

“I am such a stubborn person, speaking bluntly and admitting defeat. Since I said that if the doctor can find any injuries on Meng Yanran’s leg, I will break my own leg, then I’ll compensate her. Since the wound on Miss Meng’s leg is very serious, I cannot break my promise.”

Su Yuyi’s brows moved, Mu Yunyao’s identity had already spread throughout the Capital. With the things that she had done in Jingling City, it would be okay to punish her with a small amount of punishment, but if Mu Yunyao really broke her legs, what kind of impact would it have on the Su family?

Meng Yanran slammed her hand on the table, “Fine, I want to see how long you can keep your mouth shut. Somebody, drag her down for me, and reprimanded her for twenty times.”

The old maids that were waiting by the door came in hurriedly, and with their hands clasped around Mu Yunyao, they pressed her down to the ground.

Su Qingwu walked up and stopped their movement. “Yunyao, it’s not too late for you to admit your mistakes.”

Mu Yunyao scoffed, “This world is really exceptional. The person who framed others and has a black heart sits on the seat with a peaceful heart. But the innocent person who got framed, forced to admit your wrongs.”

Meng Yanran shouted, “Hit!”

Mu Yunyao lowered her gaze, and the first plank suddenly descended, landing on the lower right below her waist. Intense pain spread across her entire body, and before she could even cry out in pain, the second plank followed suit, landing on the same spot as before. A sharp coldness flashed across her eyes.

If the first plank made her guess in her heart, then the second plank made this guess stand up for itself. These two old maids must have secretly received hints to take advantage of this punishment to injure her inner organs and to eliminate the possibility of her having children!

At this moment, Meng Yanran stood up abruptly and screamed, “What happened to my leg? It hurts, it hurts!”

The two old maids were shocked and hurriedly stopped what they were doing.

Doctor Lin stepped forward to support Meng Yanran, “Miss Meng, what’s wrong with you?”

Meng Yanran’s face turned pale, and a cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She suddenly raised her head and looked at Doctor Lin in fear, “What medicine did you give me? Why does my leg feel like it’s being cut by a knife now?”

Doctor Lin lowered her eyes slightly. With a respectful expression, she said, “It’s just a common medicine used to treat burns and scalds.”

“Ah, that’s impossible! Remove the medicine for me quickly. I’m going to die from the pain!”

Doctor Lin held onto Meng Yanran’s hand and put some strength into it, “Miss Meng, you have forgotten that your leg is injured. If you were to wash the medicine hastily, it might leave behind scars.”

Meng Yanran got pressed on the chair and suddenly recovered. She tried her best to endure it, but the pain got stronger and stronger, as though a sharp knife was harming her legs, and the pain went straight to her bones, as though both her legs broken, “No, I can’t endure it. Wash off those medicine herbs quickly. If you are any slower, I will die from the pain!”

~ A BLATANT FRAMING ~ 

“What are you doing?” Su Qingwu abruptly grabbed the sand pot, his eyes filled with disapproval.

Mu Yunyao raised her wet palm, “Look carefully!”
Mu Yunyao’s fingers were white and tender, and now that they stained with water, droplets of water condensed on top of them, as if they were petals with morning dew.

Su Yuyi and Meng Yanran opened their eyes wide with disbelief, “How is this possible?” Mu Yunyao’s hands were splashed with water from the sand pot, causing her fingers to turn slightly red. The redness looked very faint.

However, Mu Yunyao waved her hand in vexation. “My skin has always been soft and tender, and a little bit of it would have left a red mark, but this time is not. Cousin, why don’t you try and help me?”

After making sure that her hand was okay, Su Qingwu heaved a sigh of relief and regained his senses. Looking into Mu Yunyao’s trusting eyes, he couldn’t help but freeze for a moment. He suddenly recalled the scene of her sitting on the osmanthus tree and tossing the flower down.

That day, she threw the fragrant osmanthus flowers on the ground, but it didn’t throw out of his heart. Instead, it had deeply rooted itself in his heart. Now that he saw Mu Yunyao again, his past memories were urging the osmanthus trees in his heart to grow roots and leaves that were densely packed and spread.

Su Qingwu didn’t say much. He merely took the sand pot directly and poured the water from it into her palm.

Su Yuyi exclaimed, “Elder Brother!”

The feeling coming from his fingers is warm and slightly hot. But it was still entirely within an acceptable range. This kind of water temperature would never burn anyone!

Su Qingwu’s expression suddenly became stern. “Miss Meng, there’s must be a limit to your nonsense.”

Meng Yanran’s eyes widened in disbelief, “Cousin Qingwu, when did I make a scene? It was Mu Yunyao who scalded me. So why shouldn’t I be allowed to seek justice for myself?”

“Even you are still lying until now. The temperature of the water in the sand pot is only slightly hot. It’s not hot enough to burn people!”

“How is this possible? My legs are in so much pain that I still can’t stand up. It must have because been waiting so long that the water in the sand has cooled down.”

Mu Yunyao stood in front of Meng Yanran, her voice full of anger. “Miss Meng, didn’t you hear what I said to Cousin just now? This sand pot was made to maintain the water’s temperature and will not change for an hour! If you don’t believe me, you can refill the water and try it again in an hour.”

“You … You must have done something!” Meng Yanran pointed at Mu Yunyao, her chest heaving from anger. “Is warm water still useful for making tea?”

“That was Premium Yuqian Longjing, and the water temperature needed for making the tea was not high. Furthermore, the tea leaves had prepared by Cousin was from the tender leaves in March. The leaves are so delicate, and you need to use a lower temperature when you brewed the tea. Therefore, the tea water won’t scald anyone. If you don’t understand it, then don’t speak carelessly!” Mu Yunyao lightly snorted and looked at her with extreme disdain.

“Yunyao, don’t be so rude.” Su Qingwu indifferently said to Mu Yunyao before turning to Su Yuyi, “Send Miss Meng back.”

“No, I won’t go back. Today, I must seek justice.” Meng Yanran’s eyes were full of hatred, the pain on her leg was particularly severe, she definitely scalded. “I don’t know what you did secretly, but the injury on my leg can never be fake. Today, I must expose your sinister face!”

“I grew up in the countryside and have always been a straightforward person. Since you’ve said this, I can’t bear it anymore. You keep making a commotion, and it would be best if everyone knew about it. Then, let everyone see your vicious heart!”

Meng Yanran almost went mad with anger, “You …. You call me vicious?”

“That’s right. I’m talking about you! You called me cheap because I am a clothes seller and a merchant. You also say that I’m rotten from the roots. My grandmother had a title. She had missed my mother for so many years and had never given up on searching for my mother. She was the most benevolent, but where is it rotten? You tell me what you’re talking about!”

“When did I talk about the Old Madam?” Meng Yanran’s eyes widened. The reason she said those words earlier was apparent that she wanted to mock Mu Yunyao’s father’s family background, but she had forcefully dragged it onto the Old Madam. Even if she had ten times the guts, she would not have said anything to implicating the Old Madam in the Su family.

“Cousin Yuyi and Cousin Qingwu listened to what you said just now. They are both fair people and won’t hide anything from you. Do you still want to argue?”

Su Yuyi relaxed her hand that was supporting Meng Yanran. A calm look flashed across her eyes from time to time.

Mu Yunyao sensed her movements and sneered in her heart. Su Yuyi perfectly inherited the temperament of the Su family and had always judged the situation. Now that she saw Meng Yanran unable to protect herself, she naturally wanted to get rid of her involvement and completely forgot that she was the one who pulled the person over to her side to serve as a gunman.

At that moment, a female voice heard from the door. “Doctor Wu is here.”

Meng Yanran’s cold gaze swept across Mu Yunyao. The hatred in her eyes was so intense. “You can fake words, but you can’t fake injuries. Don’t think that just because you have a smooth mouth that you can reverse the truth.”

When Doctor Wu walked in and heard that Meng Yanran’s leg had scalded, he couldn’t help but put on a look of embarrassment, “Eldest Young Master, I can’t look at Miss Meng’s injuries. However, I heard that the Old Madam has a female doctor serving her, so I’ll have to trouble you to send someone over to invite her.”

Su Yuyi quickly said, “It’s my fault for not being thoughtful. I’ll send someone to get Doctor Lin right now.”

This time, the person came very quickly. Not long later, a woman dressed in plain clothes came in “Greetings, Young Master. Greetings, Young Misses …”

“There is no need for Doctor Lin to be so courteous. Please help Miss Mengto see if the injury on her leg is serious?”

Doctor Lin nodded her head slightly and signaled the maidservants on the side to help Meng Yanran to go the inner side of the room.

Seeing the woman, Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but squinted her eyes slightly, and cold killing intent flashed in her eyes: Lin Yuhan, once known as Imperial Physician Lin’s granddaughter. Later on, Imperial Physician Lin gets convicted of being involved in the affairs of the palace. The Lin family got taken away, and all of the women’s relatives became the official’s slaves. Because the Imperial Physician Lin had an old relationship with the Old Master of the Su family, Madam Sun managed to rescue her and had always been by her side as a female doctor.

Later on, when Su Yuyi married into the Third Prince’s residence, the Old Madam specially rewarded Lin Yuhan as a dowry maid and dispatched her to Su Yuyi. Back then, Su Yuyi had been able to quickly gain a foothold in the Third Prince’s residence and suppress his beloved concubine. It could be said that Lin Yuhan had contributed a lot, and even she had fallen into her trap many times.

Just as she was thinking this, she heard footsteps coming from the inner side. Doctor Lin walked out, “Reporting to Young Master and Young Misses, Miss Meng has indeed been scalded. Her injuries are quite severe. If she doesn’t take proper care of herself, she might leave behind scars.”

Mu Yunyao abruptly raised her head, her clear eyes already filled with frost. Was she blatantly framing me?

The thoughts in her mind churned nonstop. Lin Yuhan definitely didn’t have the guts to do this on her own. It suddenly happened, so Su Yuyi and the Eldest Madam may not have time to make arrangements. Then, the most likely culprit would be the Old Madam, Madam Sun…....

~ REFUSE TO ADMIT HER MISTAKE ~ 

Mu Yunyao stood where she was with her eyes slightly lowered. Hearing these words, she raised her head, and with clear eyes, she said with a stubborn expression, “Cousin, you can do whatever you want. If you want to beat or punish me, do whatever you want to.”

Meng Yanran laughed coldly, “Cousin Qingwu, did you heard it all? I came to visit her with the good intention of telling her about some of the Capital’s local customs and traditions. Who knows if she doesn’t appreciate my kindness, instead used this method to harm me? If my legs get scalded, what should I do from now on?”

Su Qingwu’s frowned even more tightly. He turned his head to look at the nearby maidservants. “You are here as well. What’s happened to her? Tell me in detail.”

Su Yuyi suddenly raised her head. She didn’t expect her brother to ask the maid again after she repeated the whole story. Did he not believe her?

At this time, the two maidservants were still trembling with fear, but they knew what they should say and what not to say. Their words were similar to what Su Yuyi had said, “...The three Young Misses were drinking tea together. When the tea was served to the Eldest Miss, nothing happened. It was just that when the tea was sent in front of Young miss Meng, the tea suddenly spilled all over...”

Mu Yunyao suddenly spoke up, “Cousin, what’s the point of asking them? They all obeyed Miss Meng’s orders and dared to attack me directly. If it weren’t for Cousin’s sudden entrance just now, I wouldn’t have been able to answer your question right now. I would have been pressed down on the ground and slapped in the face!”

Su Qingwu’s eyes were calm and tranquil, yet a sharp light flashed in them. “As servants, you dare to make a move on your Young Mistress? You don’t have to remain in the Su family anymore.”

The two maidservants quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy, “Eldest Young Master, we all listen to Miss Meng’s orders. We don’t dare to do anything with Miss Meng even if we had ten thousand times the guts, but Miss Meng has repeatedly requested that we, as servants, have no right to resist. We can only obey her orders.”

Su Qingwu looked towards his attendant. “Shut their mouth and pull them down. Don’t let them talk nonsense when they go out.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

The two maids directly gagged and dragged down, but Mu Yunyao’s footsteps were slightly uneasy as she moved and stood in the same place.

At the sight of this, Su Yuyi couldn’t help but bite the tip of her tongue, her expression very unsightly.

Meng Yanran was reluctant and unforgiving, “Cousin, my legs already scalded, can’t I punish Mu Yunyao? Elder Cousin naturally knows how important a pair of legs is to a girl. I will definitely seek justice for this matter. If Cousin does not negotiate, I will directly go to find Aunt and Uncle!”

Su Qingwu looked at Su Yuyi. “Have you invited a doctor?”

“I’ve already sent someone to fetch him. He’s probably on his way right now.”

“Miss Meng, please do not be impatient for now. First, ask the doctor to look at the most important part of the injury. Yunyao is new here and not clear on the rules for the first time. If there is something that offends you, I am here to apologize on her behalf. Please forgive her once for the sake of my Su family.”

Meng Yanran looked at Su Qingwu in disbelief, and the resentment in her eyes became more intense. “No! If she does something wrong, she will get punished! Cousin, you weren’t such a protective person in the past!”

Mu Yunyao walked straight in front of Meng Yanran and looked at her coldly, “Miss Meng, there’s a limit to the amount of noise you’re making. Do you really think I’m afraid of you?”

“Yunyao!” Su Qingwu frowned disapprovingly. “Apologize to Miss Meng.”

“On what basis?” Mu Yunyao’s expression turned even more unconvinced. “Miss Meng, according to what you said, the tea get spilled and scald your legs. How do you want to punish me?”

Meng Yanran’s voice was icy cold, “If my legs scalded, they will inevitably leave scars behind, and I will be affected by this for the rest of my life. Since you hurt my legs, you will compensate me with something of equal value!”

Mu Yunyao sneered, “Then, according to what you’re saying, you want to hurt my legs to compensate you?”

As Meng Yanran looked at Mu Yunyao’s expression, the hatred in her heart grew even more intense. She actually couldn’t control her emotions and blurted out, “Not bad! Since you injured my leg, you will naturally use your leg to compensate me!”

“Little Sister Yanran!” Su Yuyi quickly stepped forward and took Meng Yanran’s arm. It was a bit too much. No matter what, Mu Yunyao had just returned to the Su residence as the Old Madam’s granddaughter. It would be fine if she were to punish her a bit and ruin her reputation, but if both of her legs became damaged, then it will be Su’s family who will get blamed.

Meng Yanran did not seem to hear Su Yuyi’s hints and stared fiercely at Mu Yunyao. “Do you really think that after coming back to the Su family, you can do whatever you want and have a superior status? Don’t forget, you are just a clothes seller and tea seller. Your roots are also rotten. Even if you’re wrapped in gold and jade won’t be worth a fortune.”

“Little Sister Yanran, you’re so confused because you’re in so much pain. Why did you start talking nonsense?” Su Yuyi was slightly annoyed in her heart. Although Meng Yanran was usually arrogant and domineering, she knew what she should do and would not let things get too ugly. However, today, every word was a blow to the heart, and the Su family will get implicated. If this word reaches in her father’s ears, even she would inevitably suffer too!

Su Qingwu’s face darkened. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Mu Yunyao suddenly pull Meng Yanran up, “Miss Meng, you have to have a limit to pretend to be crazy and play dumb! You said your leg damaged? Fine, prove it to me. If it really is damaged, then I will compensate you with my leg! If your leg is fine. Today, you must give me an explanation. Even if I am just a commoner, I will not let you sully my reputation for nothing!”

Just as Meng Yanran stood up, she felt her legs as if they got cut by knives, which caused intense pain. Her voice abruptly changed, “Mu Yunyao, you slut, I’m going to kill you!” As she said that, she raised her arm and sent an attack towards Mu Yunyao.

Mu Yunyao lifted the tray in her hand and heavily knocked it on Meng Yanran’s hand. “I’m from the countryside, but I know the rules and the etiquette. It’s my first time I’ve seen a lady from a noble family like Miss Meng!”

Meng Yanran had used all her strength to hit Mu Yunyao, but who would have thought that when the tray collided together, her entire hand would swell up instantly. It felt as if the bones in her hand were broken, and the pain was particularly heart-piercing: “Ah, it hurts!”

Mu Yunyao directly walked to the table where the tea was brewing, picked up the sand pot filled with hot water, and placed it in front of Su Qingwu. “Cousin, this sand pot is specially made. I heard from Cousin that it could keep the temperature of the water unchanged for an hour, right?”

Su Qingwu nodded his head, “This tea set specially made. It is made especially with two layers. It can indeed maintain water temperature for an hour without changing.”

“That’s good. Since I made the tea just now, it has only been half an hour. The water’s temperature in the sand pot should not have changed much. Cousin, please take a look. How did I use this water here to scald someone?” After Mu Yunyao finished speaking, she immediately lifted up the sand pot and poured the water inside it onto her palm.

~ IT TURNED OUT TO BE A COUSIN ~ 

Su Yuyi was shocked by the current situation. She stood up hurriedly and looked at Meng Yanran, “Sister Yanran, how are you?”

Mu Yunyao also quickly followed, “Elder Sister Meng, are you alright?”

Meng Yanran originally had a domineering temper. At this time, the hot tea poured on her leg, and the pain was piercing. Seeing Mu Yunyao come over, she raised her hand and wanted to slap her. But unexpectedly, Mu Yunyao seemed frightened and retreated two steps back, causing her slap to miss. All she could do was to reprimand her angrily: “Mu Yunyao, I found out that you came back here and made a special trip to visit you. I didn’t expect you to be so gloomy and deliberately scald me with hot tea. What exactly is your intention?”

Mu Yunyao frowned, her face filled with confusion. “It’s obvious that Elder Sister didn’t hold the teacup steady, so why did you blame it on me?”

Meng Yanran’s voice became shrill, “Then according to what you said, I deliberately scald myself and then frame you in turn? Why don’t you look at yourself and What’s worth framing you by hurting me?”

Mu Yunyao’s face showed anger, her voice is crisp, and her words are sharp, “Elder Sister Meng, don’t say that I’m the granddaughter of the Old Madam, even if I’m just a commoner, my name not allowed to be tainted. The law has long existed. Even the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the commoners. Even if my identity to Elder Sister Meng is just like an ant, you can’t trample on as you please.”

Meng Yanran felt the pain in her leg, and her heart was in a state of rage. She suddenly remembered that there were scars on her body. If a large cup of boiling water had poured on her body, her legs must have scalded. In that case, her future would be affected as well. Thinking of the consequences, she immediately hated Mu Yunyao. “I didn’t expect you to be so sharp-tongued. Today, I’ll teach you a lesson and let you know what rules are!”

“Even if I don’t understand the rules, there are elders who can teach me. I won’t bother Elder Sister Meng.”

“You actually dare to talk back? Somebody! Slap her mouth!”

Mu Yunyao raised her head to look at Su Yuyi, who was at the side, with an anxious gaze, “Cousin, that cup of tea was obviously Elder Sister Meng who didn’t hold the teacup firmly, and I didn’t throw it at her on purpose. You were right by my side at that time, so you should have seen it clearly.”

Su Yuyi frowned slightly, and a trace of worry appeared between her carefully drawn eyebrows, which made people want to get rid of the thing that had annoyed her immediately, so that the beauty could smile, “At that time, I was sipping tea. I really didn’t see the actual situation clearly …, However, I still had to shout called the doctor to take a look at Little Sister Yanran. The woman’s body is a huge matter. If there is a scar on her body, it will affect her for the rest of her life.”

When she heard that, the anger in Meng Yanran’s heart flared up, and seeing that the maidservants behind her did not move, she immediately shouted, “All of you only can eat, didn’t you hear my order? Hurry and pull Mu Yunyao down and slap her!”

“Yes, Young Miss.” The two maids standing behind Meng Yanran hurried forward, one on the left and one on the right, wanting to hold Mu Yunyao.

Mu Yunyao slightly retreated two steps before turning around and running for the door. Judging by the time, Su Qingwu should be coming here soon. Since Meng Yangran was going to cause trouble, then she must make a big fuss!

The rules of the Su family had always been exceptional. The people who selected to take care of Su Yu Yi were even more carefully selected. For afraid that there was something wrong with the place, If the maid who was guarding the door really not comfortable and had to leave for a moment, there would definitely be someone else who would come to make up for it. But according to Su Yuyi, the maid had obviously just had transferred here, so she didn’t understand the rules. That was why she heard Meng Yanran’s derogatory words at the door.

Would Su Yuyi ask the maidservants that she had just sent over to guard Lu Yi Pavillion that she attaches great importance? It was impossible to even think about it, so it had to be a deliberate arrangement.

Just as she was about to reach the door, Mu Yunyao suddenly stopped in her tracks. The two maids who were chasing her were already very aggressive, so they couldn’t react the moment Mu Yunyao stopped, and they directly collided with Su Qingwu, who entered the door. One of the maidservants accidentally knocked on his arm, causing him to frown.

“Ah, Eldest Young Master? This servant deserves to die. Eldest Young Master, please forgive me. “

Su Yuyi hurriedly stood up and said in a surprised voice, “Elder Brother, you’re back?”

Su Qingwu’s gaze fell straight on Mu Yunyao. A myriad of emotions flashed past his eyes, but they quickly became turbulent, causing his heart to beat uncontrollably. He would never have thought that he would meet Mu Yunyao again, moreover, at the Su family residence!

At this moment, her face filled with panic and slightly pale. Her white teeth gently bit down on her lower lip as she stood on the spot as if she was helpless.

Although he didn’t see the entire scene clearly, Su Qingwu had already guessed a few things in his heart. Her fierce gaze landed on the two kneeling female maidservants. “What’s going on?”

Su Qingwu slightly furrowed his brows. Compared to the last time they had met, she seemed to have grown taller. The immaturity of her body gradually faded away, and she actually revealed a delicate and graceful appearance. She was wearing a light pink dress as she quietly stood where she was, like a slender and elegant lotus flower. Her eyes filled with stubbornness, clearly unable to face the wind and rain, yet so proud that she did not want to lower her head.

Seeing Su Qingwu staring at Mu Yunyao for a long time without saying anything, Su Yuyi quickly stepped forward, “Elder Brother left home a few months ago and followed Third Prince to reward soldiers on the border. There are many things that you aren’t clear about how things go in the world. It’s a coincidence that not long after Elder Brother left, Father sent people to investigate. Then, we discovered that Mu Yunyao was Grandmother’s granddaughter, and her mother was our Aunt who had lost for many years.”

Su Qing Wu Chen had already clenched his fist tightly and couldn’t help but pull his finger back after hearing this: “Yunyao …. Cousin?”

When Meng Yanran saw Su Qingwu, she subconsciously wanted to stand up, but hearing his words, she forced herself to sit down, “Cousin, it’s great that you’re here. I came to visit Mu Yunyao today with good intentions, but I didn’t expect her to be so hostile towards me and splashed hot tea on my legs on purpose. Now, my legs have injured …” As she spoke, tears streamed down her face, making her look very pitiful.

Su Qingwu looked at Meng Yanran. Sure enough, he saw tea stains on her dress and scattered teacups on the ground. “Yuyi, what’s going on?”

“Little Sister Yanran has been curious about Yunyao for a long time, and after hearing that she had returned to the residence, she wanted to meet her today. The three of us wanted to have a cup of tea, but who would have known that when Cousin Yunyao delivered the tea, the tea would fall on Little Sister Yanran’s legs …”

Mu Yunyao sneered in her heart. What Su Yuyi said was real. But she had only chosen some words that were beneficial to Meng Yanran. When others heard it, they would subconsciously agree with what Meng Yanran said and thinks that the tea was poured by her intentionally.

Su Qingwu looked at Mu Yunyao. “Is that really the case?” The moment he said those words, the tension in his voice became even more apparent. He quickly pursed his lips.

Incurable Chapter 17 Part 2

Chapter 17 (2/2)

The long street ran wide and open, with only a scattering of tourists moving through it. Mu Wan walked among them and sent Liu Qianxiu a message.

Mu Wan: Liu Qianxiu, I’m done filming. Where are you?

The restaurant Mu Wan had chosen was on Wencheng’s commercial street, two blocks from Wencheng Hotel. To save time, she sent him the address and arranged for them to take separate taxis and meet there.

Once she had sent it, Mu Wan leaned back against the seat of her cab.

The evening had darkened outside.

The wind on the rainy night was cool. Her head felt heavy, and when she spoke, her voice was thick and nasal.

“Driver, could you turn off the air-conditioning?”

By the time Mu Wan reached the commercial street, the rain had already stopped. The summer drizzle had drawn the humidity out of the air, and every breeze that passed now felt cool. The street was full of people who had come out to walk and enjoy the evening.

Mu Wan wove through them toward the restaurant.

Before she even reached the entrance, she saw Liu Qianxiu already standing there waiting for her.

All at once, her head did not feel so heavy anymore.

The cool air swept away the heat clinging to her skin.

“Liu Qianxiu~”

The man turned.

The lights of the commercial street filled his dark eyes until they looked like a mirrored lake reflecting a sky full of stars. Mu Wan’s heartbeat wavered. Smiling, she quickened her steps and went straight to him.

When she reached his side, she tipped her face up and looked at him with shining eyes.

“This is the—”

She got no farther.

A cool hand came up and rested against her forehead.

Mu Wan’s gaze flickered.

His palm met skin burning with fever. Her voice was still soft and nasal. As he leaned close to check her temperature, she tilted her face obediently upward and gave a small cough.

“You have a fever,” Liu Qianxiu said.

He drew his hand back, though the heat remained in his palm—whether hers or his own, it was hard to tell.

The moment his hand left, the heaviness in her head came flooding back. Her throat itched again. The little bit of spirit she had been forcing up finally sagged.

Yes, she really did have a fever.

She had spent the whole day in the rain, and during the taxi ride over, she had already felt half-dazed. But they had made plans, and Mu Wan did not want to go back. She wanted to eat with him.

Her mind was a mess. Her breathing came warm and deep.

Looking up at Liu Qianxiu, she said, “Why didn’t the medicine you gave me this morning work?”

She really did seem half-burnt through. Her words barely followed any logic anymore.

“The medicine that works is bitter,” Liu Qianxiu said.

Her brows pinched together slightly, and her lips pursed in quiet dissatisfaction.

Liu Qianxiu lowered his eyes to her for a moment, then lifted his head and glanced around.

“Wait there,” he said.

Following his gaze, Mu Wan saw a long bench inside a cosmetics store, meant for customers to sit on. She really was tired, so she nodded in a dazed little way and let him lead her over to sit down.

At this hour, the shop was not busy. Mu Wan was the only person on the bench, sitting there quietly and obediently.

Liu Qianxiu turned to leave.

Mu Wan caught the corner of his shirt.

He looked back.

Mu Wan looked at him and said, “I’ll wait for you here. Come back soon.”

Liu Qianxiu lowered his gaze to her and nodded once.

Only then did Mu Wan let go.

There were not many people in the cosmetics store. The air-conditioning seemed to be off, so it felt warmer than outside. Still, after sitting there for a little while, Mu Wangreww was restless. Five minutes later, she lifted her head toward the entrance.

Liu Qianxiu had returned.

He was carrying a white pharmacy bag marked with a red cross, so it was easy enough to guess there was medicine inside.

But as he came fully into view, Mu Wan saw what he held in the other hand.

White on the outer layer.

Blue above that.

Pink at the center.

A huge, extravagant bouquet of cotton candy.

Mu Wan stood up from the bench.

Liu Qianxiu had bought fever medicine. Then, after picking up a bottle of water inside the cosmetics store, he walked over to her. He held out the cotton candy bouquet first, then took out the medicine and said, “If the medicine tastes bitter later, have a bite of this.”

As he spoke, he sorted the pills, then lifted the bottle of water to hand it over—only to take it back first and unscrew the cap.

When he extended it again, Mu Wan did not take it.

He raised his eyes to look at her.

She was looking at him, too.

Her fever was high. Her small face had turned pink again, just the way it had when she was drunk the day before. Her eyes held light. Dark, bright, shining.

“Liu Qianxiu,” she said in a low, nasal voice.

Liu Qianxiu pressed his lips together once, then answered patiently and quietly.

“Mm.”

“I’m going to remember you for the rest of my life,” Mu Wan said.

His gaze paused.

Mu Wan smiled, full of sweetness and satisfaction.

“Because this is the first time,” she said, “that anyone has ever given me flowers this sweet~.”

Chapter 17 (1/2)

Liu Qianxiu looked at her.

His gaze was calm and flat, like a blue flame—cold to the eye, yet hot enough to burn.

Mu Wan turned her eyes toward the window instead. Holding the cup, she watched the rainwater bead and slide from the sill, her voice still soft and sweet.

“It’s nothing. I’m going to drink my medicine.”

The cup in her hand was only a little warmer than the air itself, and should have been very easy to drink. Mu Wan twisted at the lid, her knuckles paling with the effort, but after two tries, she still could not get it open.

She blinked at the cup twice in faint surprise.

Before she could try again, the cup was taken gently from her hand.

As it passed between them, their fingers brushed—hers cool, his faintly warm. To her surprise, Liu Qianxiu’s hand was warmer than her own.

Moistening her lips, Mu Wan looked up at him.

Liu Qianxiu lowered his eyes. His long fingers closed around the lid and turned it lightly. The seal gave way. Steam drifted up, carrying with it the thin, faint scent of medicine.

He handed it back to her.

Mu Wan lowered her gaze, took the cup, and drank at once.

The warm liquid slid down her throat. The itch there eased almost immediately. She paused only a little, then went on drinking in small mouthfuls.

“You don’t have to finish it,” Liu Qianxiu said.

Steam rose from the rim of the cup, dampening the light in her eyes until they looked moist and glossy. She stopped, medicine shining faintly at the corner of her lips. She swept it away with the tip of her tongue and asked, “Why not?”

His eyes lowered slightly, as though it were the first time anyone had ever asked him that.

Mu Wan set her mouth lightly against the rim and bit down once. The glass made a soft little sound. Her speech came out blurred behind the cup.

“Because I like this one. It’s sweet.”

Powdered medicine was not truly bitter, but neither was it truly sweet.

And yet Mu Wan genuinely thought this one was sweet—not the sweetness of an aftertaste, but like honey melted down and poured from the tip of her tongue all the way into her heart.

Liu Qianxiu had let her stay the night before. This morning, he had made medicine for her, too. Brightness gathered at the corners of Mu Wan’s eyes, sweet and unmistakable. She drank the rest of it, fingers sliding over the warm glass as heat rose from her body.

“Do you have time tonight?” she asked. “That restaurant I told you about last time—let’s go there tonight. I’m treating.”

The medicine had warmed her. Color returned to her face and her lips. Beneath her damp black hair, the dark sweep of her brows, the black shine of her eyes, and the red of her mouth brought back her vivid radiance piece by piece.

Liu Qianxiu watched her quietly.

The corridor was busy with people coming and going, and the air was heavy with dampness.

For a moment, he did not answer.

Mu Wan bit lightly at her lip. A trace of disappointment flashed through her eyes.

“I want to go—”

“All right,” Liu Qianxiu said.

Mu Wan had finished her scenes at Wencheng Hospital that morning.

In the afternoon, she headed toward the outskirts of the city. There were large stretches of preserved Republican-era houses there, old residences that still retained the full atmosphere of the period. Besides serving as filming locations, the area also functioned as a tourist site. Mu Wan walked along the long street under her umbrella, past stalls selling snacks and small souvenirs, and entered one of the old courtyard houses.

Inside the courtyard, cameras had already been set up. Actors and crew moved through their roles and tasks. In the cold stillness of the old Republican architecture, human life had been poured back in.

The rain had not stopped.

Mu Wan had only just folded her umbrella and was about to go change and do makeup when someone clapped a hand onto her shoulder with considerable force. She had not even turned around before Gao Mei had already dragged her into a corner.

“Where were you last night?” Gao Mei demanded.

She was dressed in the rough costume of a Republican-era maid, with two braids and a round, pale face screwed into a tight knot of worry.

“I got drunk and slept at a friend’s place,” Mu Wan said lightly.

“You have friends here?” Gao Mei asked, then immediately let out a breath. Her plump hand released Mu Wan’s arm, and she sighed. “You went to that dinner and never came back last night. I thought you and Director Zhang...”

The night before going to Yingkexuan, Mu Wan had texted Gao Mei to say she had to attend a dinner and would return late. And last night, a young actress had been carried out of Zhang Chengze’s room...

Gao Mei knew perfectly well what kind of person Mu Wan was, but Mu Wan had not come back all night. Gao Mei had wanted to ask, yet had not dared. It was only now, seeing Mu Wan standing in front of her whole and unharmed, that she finally dared bring it up.

Just then, filming resumed.

Director Zhang Chengze, seated behind the camera, called out, “Action!”

In front of the camera, a Republican-era schoolgirl in a short blue jacket and black skirt stood before an ancestral hall, acting opposite two middle-aged performers.

They were playing the girl’s parents.

The father was furious, the mother grieving.

The schoolgirl herself stood expressionless, delivered her lines, and finished the scene.

“The female lead’s acting is so bad,” Gao Mei muttered to Mu Wan under her breath. “And in this scene, she was supposed to stay on her knees the whole time. She refused, and the director changed the script on the spot.”

Just as Gao Mei finished saying it, the scene ended. Zhang Chengze let out a sigh so slight it was barely audible. The female lead looked over with a questioning expression.

“Passed,” Zhang Chengze said.

“That passed?” Gao Mei nearly coughed up blood. Beside her, Mu Wan merely curved her lips and laughed.

“Life really is unfair,” Gao Mei muttered, watching a cluster of assistants rush to the female lead’s side.

She was thinking of the actress who had been carried out of Zhang Chengze’s room the previous night. She had heard it through other people, yes, but Zhang Chengze was known to like drinking, and when drunk, his methods with actresses were said to be quite vicious. The rumors did not sound baseless.

That actress, even after all that, had won only a few extra scenes in the drama.

And Mu Qing, meanwhile, had taken the female lead effortlessly and had the entire production revolving around her.

“Good fortune matters too much,” Gao Mei sighed. Then she glanced at Mu Wan and added teasingly, “Still, with acting like that, no amount of investment is going to make her a real success. She’ll just ruin her own reputation. Our Mu Wan is different—beautiful, can act, and if someone backed her, she’d go global.”

The second half was clearly a joke, and Mu Wan only smiled it away.

But the first half did make sense.

The entertainment industry had seen plenty of pretty faces sink under mountains of money and still fail to shine. Beauty without acting could only carry a person so far.

Mu Wan had no interest in what Mu Qing herself was thinking.

After saying a few more words to Gao Mei, she headed off to change and do makeup.

This old house belonged to the female lead’s character in the story, so most of the scenes here were with Mu Qing.

Mu Wan had scenes with her, too.

They were both spies.

Mu Wan’s character came to deliver a message to Mu Qing, and that meeting would eventually lead to her murder.

In Mu Qing’s boudoir, Mu Wan passed over the slip of paper in her hand. Mu Qing took it, said her lines, and the scene was done.

Mu Wan let the emotion fall away and stepped aside.

It was Mu Qing who glanced at her first.

Then, with a faint lift at the corner of her eyes, she withdrew her gaze again.

Once that scene finished, Mu Wan’s part in the old residence was done as well.

While she was in the dressing room changing back into her own clothes, she heard the female actresses outside erupt into gasps and shrieks of amazement.

She came out dressed and looked up.

Her entire vision turned red.

The whole courtyard had been transformed into a sea of roses.

The air was filled with the faint, elegant scent of them. Around that scent surged the delighted screams of women whose hearts had just exploded with envy. The whole thing felt dreamy, hazy, and absurdly romantic.

When Mu Wan came out, Gao Mei hurried over, astonishment still alive in her small eyes.

“Sent by Shen Cheng, Young Master Shen,” she said. “You didn’t see what it looked like just now—a whole line of men in black suits, each carrying armful after armful of roses in here. She got more roses in one day than I’ll probably receive in my whole life.”

Women were always sentimental about romance.

There was more than a little envy in Gao Mei’s voice.

“The crew’s paused for now,” she added. “The moment Mu Qing got the flowers, she went to her car to call him.”

Mu Wan glanced once at the red roses glowing in the courtyard. There was not even room to step between them. Red filled her eyes.

“I’m heading out,” she told Gao Mei. “I’m treating a friend to dinner tonight.”

Gao Mei squinted at her, full of disbelief.

“How do you have no reaction at all? Every woman in the crew is jealous out of her mind.”

The scent of the roses was heavy.

Mu Wan’s throat itched. She rubbed lightly at her nose and said, “I don’t like flowers.”

More than the answer, Gao Mei noticed her voice. She looked at the faint flush on Mu Wan’s face with concern.

“Are you getting sick?”

“I’m fine. I’m going.”

With that, Mu Wan patted Gao Mei on the shoulder and left the old house.

~ THE MALICIOUS MENG YANRAN ~ 

Seeing that Meng Yanran was about to lose her temper, Su Yuyi quickly stepped forward and held her hands, “You are all my sister. Why are we standing at the door and talking? Come in quickly. I have asked someone to prepare some tea bought from Jingling City. It’s said to be very delicious. Both sisters come to have a taste.”

Meng Yanran snorted coldly and walked quickly into the hall, but she was so dissatisfied in her heart. Seeing Mu Yunyao slowly walk in, she couldn’t help but say, “Big Sister Yuyi, I remember that you spent quite a bit of silver to set up this small Lu Yi Pavillion, right?”

“Although trying to conserve as much as possible, it really cost a lot.” Su Yuyi smiled brilliantly.

This Lu Yi Pavilion was built precisely according to her preference. It was meticulously constructed and cost seventy to eighty thousand taels of silver. Even the bricks laid on the ground made of high-quality materials. Every plant and tree in the yard is very precious. Choosing one was enough to feed a family of four for several months.

“It was also because my aunt and uncle doted on you. When you were coming age, they built this Lu Yi Pavillion for you as a gift. At the time, the young ladies who came to attend your hairpin ceremony were so envious that their eyes turned red.” After Meng Yanran finished speaking, she turned her gaze towards Mu Yunyao, “I heard that you brought a lot of things when you came from Jingling City, and you also directly changed the things in Jiyue Pavilion. I suppose you must have made quite a bit of silver, right?”

“It’s all because of the hard work of the money. There are a lot of people who need to be supported, so there aren’t many things left behind.”

“There was no need for modesty. At that time, a box on the dock overturned, and a lot of jewelry had fallen off from it. Rumor has it that it was worth a lot of money. Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Lou had opened recently, but I really didn’t expect that the profit would be so great.

If it weren’t for the fact that Elder Sister Yuyi and I have a family discipline, I wouldn’t be allowed to intervene in these merchants, and I would not even want to start an embroidery shop.” After she finished speaking, she sneered fiercely, and the contempt and ridicule in her words were self-evident.

Mu Yunyao’s eyes darkened. Meng Yanran’s words were sharp and striking, which meant that she earned too much silver, and it was inevitable that she would be guilty of making black-hearted silver. Meng Yanran also said that she and Su Yuyi had family discipline, which also meant that she was ridiculing her for not being well-mannered and had no education. The last sentence about the merchants is especially scornful, and it is impossible to make people pretend not to hear it.

Seeing Mu Yunyao not make a sound, the provocation in Meng Yanran’s eyes became even more apparent, “Why aren’t you saying anything? Even though you were born in the countryside, you don’t have to be so restrained. You and I both call each other sisters, so there’s no need to hide so much when you speak. If you speak wrongly, no one will punish you.”

Mu Yunyao slightly pursed her lips as an embarrassed expression appeared on her face. “Elder Sister came from a wealthy family, and she doesn’t know the hardships in the world. Even if her family allowed it, she wouldn’t be able to open the embroidery shop. After all, from fabric selection, pattern design, tailoring, silk thread selection, and the embroidery process, it’s considered good if you can make a set of clothes within one month. But Sister Meng also said just now that you and I are sisters, so we should help each other. If you really want to open an embroidery shop, I can help you find some female embroiderer. After all, the most exquisite embroidery techniques now are all spread out from my Ni Yun Fang!”

Didn’t you mock the merchant? Now you can’t even do business like merchants, aren’t you worse than merchants?

Meng Yanran was angry and couldn’t help but sneer, “Cousin Yunyao is indeed different from us. Her mouth is really eloquent. You’ve met more people than us when you opened the tea house in Jingling City, right?”

That was why she was so sharp-tongued. She learned so much from those people!

Mu Yunyao’s smile became even more bashful. “I was born timid and have never liked going out. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have calmed down to study those embroidery techniques. It’s possible that the heavens love innocent people, whether Ni Yun Fang or Bu Xian Luo, there are suitable shopkeepers to take care of them. I am also teaching embroidery techniques and processed tea leaves. Mother said that I was born to speak early, but I can’t walk yet, so I know how to say everything. Perhaps this is what it means, just like how some people never speak no matter how much they learn.”

Meng Yanran was blocked by Mu Yunyao to the point where she couldn’t hold herself back, and her eyes were full of anger.

Su Yuyi was also astonished. She didn’t expect that Meng Yanran couldn’t get any advantage over Mu Yunyao. When she thought of what had happened before, she suddenly had a premonition in her heart: This Mu Yunyao in front of her would definitely not be as easy to deal as her mother had said!

Having gained the upper hand with her words, Mu Yunyao was elated. She looked at the tea set placed at the side, “Cousin, didn’t you ask us to come in just now to try some tea? What kind of tea did you prepare?”

“It’s Premium Yuqian Longjing, and I’m going to soak it for my two sisters to taste.”

Meng Yanran stretched out her hand to hold Su Yuyi, “Sister Yuyi, did you forget that we have a master of tea art here? Cousin Yunyao has opened Bu Xian Luo, but the rumor says that no one can compare to her in the art of making tea. Why don’t you show off your skills today and let us have a look as well?”

“These are all insignificant skills and won’t be able to display much. However, if you two sisters want to see, then I’ll give you an ugly one.”

Seeing Mu Yunyao agree, Meng Yanran laughed coldly.

Seeing her expression, Su Yuyi smiled apologetically at Mu Yunyao and said, “Then I’ll be troubling Cousin Yunyao.”

Mu Yunyao walked to the back of the table where the tea was brewing and gracefully sat down. She arranged the tea set on the table bit by bit before carefully inspecting it again. Only then did she start to heat up the water in the teacup.

Seeing her like this, Meng Yanran couldn’t help but snort coldly, and her hostility was apparent.

Su Yuyi’s eyes slowly dimmed. She had trained hard in the art of tea since she was young and could instantly distinguish the difference between good and inadequate. Mu Yunyao was really good at making tea, and her skills were not shallow either. Her actions seemed casual, but it was neither heavy nor slow. There was a sense of calm in Mu Yunyao’s body that made people gradually forget about the noise and became calm down completely.

Her next move in the brewing of the tea was very pleasing to the eyes. Even the expression of Meng Yanran, who was always disdainful before, gradually changed her face.

Mu Yunyao steadied the teacups and gently closed them. As the cup lid and the teacup made contact with each other, they made a light noise, covering the rising smoke as a fragrant aroma wafted out.

Mu Yunyao brought the teacups over to the two of them.

Su Yuyi took it and softly thanked her, “Many thanks, Cousin Yunyao.”

Mu Yunyao smiled as she returned the greeting. “Cousin, there’s no need to be polite.”

When she handed the teacup to Meng Yanran, she saw Meng Yanran receiving the teacup with her fingertips, but the next moment, the teacup poured directly at Mu Yunyao.

A cold light flashed through Mu Yunyao’s eyes. Right at this moment, she held the tray in her hand and raised her hand to block the teacup, stopping it from reaching her body.

Meng Yanran was smiling. The next moment, she heard a clanging sound, and the teacup that was thrown out by her was directly blocked back. The tea spilled all over her leg, and she couldn’t help but scream, “Ah, it hurts!”

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 259

~ THE OVERBEARING AND ARROGANT MENG YANRAN ~ 

It was the first time she had gone to the East Courtyard after returning to the Su family. Mu Yunyao immediately called Mo Yu, the maid who was sent over by the Old Madam. Mo Yu was the eldest girl by the Old Madam’s side, has an outstanding appearance and a very gentle temperament. The Old Madam very much liked her. But later, inexplicably, the Old Madam drugged her and sold her out of the house. After that, she was unable to protect herself. After hearing this, she could only sigh and could not do anything else. 

Mo Yu walked up to Mu Yunyao and greeted with a thoughtful gesture, “Greetings, Young Miss.”

“Yes, I heard that the Young Miss of the Meng family came to be a guest. My Eldest Cousin invited me to the East Courtyard, but I’m not familiar with the road since I’ve just arrived. I’ll have to trouble you to lead the way.”

“How could I accept Miss’s words of annoyance? I’m truly here to serve you. Young Miss, please follow me.”

Mu Yunyao tidied up her dress and didn’t find anything out of place. She brought Jin Lan and Jin Qiao and followed Mo Yu out.

At this moment, in the East Courtyard’s small Lu Yi Pavillion, Meng Yanran was holding her cheek with one hand. She smiled and said, “I’ve heard that your house is not peaceful in these past two days.”

Su Yuyi smiled. On her incomparably beautiful face, this smile made her seem even more mysterious: “These two days, my aunt and Cousin Yunyao have returned. Since the residence has two more people, it will naturally be more lively.”

Meng Yanran pursed her lips and glared at Su Yuyi with her almond-shaped eyes, “Only because of you and aunty’s good temper. You didn’t know that the entire Capital is talking about how the people sent by the Su family can’t even move their luggage.”

“When has the Capital ever been at peace? Today’s rumors are about this family, and tomorrow’s are about that family. These rumors are just ordinary people’s conversation after dinner and only last for a day or two, so let them say what they want to say.”

“You’re good at everything, but your temper is a bit too soft. There’s an aunt here, I am not worried, but I heard that Mu Yunyao is not a simple person. Her name is extremely resounding in the entire Jiangnan, and she has also received rewards from the Emperor. You have to be careful. It won’t be long before you got bullied.”

Su Yuyi frowned slightly. She paused for a moment and then said, “That shouldn’t be the case. I met Cousin Yunyao yesterday, and she seems like she’s easy to get along with too.”

“What’s the use of looking at it? She set up the embroidery shop and the tea house in Jingling City, so she was used to greeting many people all day long. I didn’t know how much acting she could do, but who knew how many gaudy things she had in her stomach? You were raised by my aunt in the Capital, so you don’t know the dirty tricks in private.”

Su Yuyi looked troubled, “That shouldn’t be the case …”

Meng Yanran gave a cold harrumph. “I was just about to take a look at that guy who sold clothes today. What ability does she have?”

At the door, Mo Yu’s expression was so ugly, so she lowered her head. Jin Lan and Jin Qiao’s faces were filled with suppressed anger, while Mu Yunyao, who was at the side, had a smile plastered on her face. She was not the least bit displeased, “Miss, you … Are you still going in? “

As soon as they arrived, they heard Meng Yanran’s voice, and her words overheard clearly. However, the maid who should be guarding and look out at the door had disappeared without a trace.

Mu Yunyao chuckled. She understood Meng Yanran’s personality very well. After all, they had interacted with each other in her previous life. Back then, not long after she arrived at the Su family, Su Yuyi had also used this excuse to invite her to come here. At that time, she had only been here for a few days, and her body hadn’t fully recovered yet. She was so ignorant that she didn’t even know what was going on. When she arrived and saw the shiny floor in the hall, she had to be careful even with her feet.

Meng Yanran had a crafty personality. She stepped on the dirty ground and forced her to take off her shoes. She didn’t know why, but it just so happened that Su Qingwu had returned, and her mocking laughter had made her want to find a hole to hide inside.

The maid hurriedly walked over, and upon seeing Mu Yunyao, who was standing at the door, she quickly bent down to pay her respects. “Greetings, Miss Biao. This servant’s stomach really wasn’t feeling well just now, so I went down to relieve myself. Please forgive me, Young Miss.”

The maid’s voice rose to a slightly higher pitch. Su Yuyi, who had heard the voice, stood up and walked out: “Little Sister Yunyao, this maid has only been here for a few days and still unfamiliar with many of the rules. She actually made you wait outside. I’ll punish her when I back later.”

Mu Yunyao’s smile was dazzling, “It’s just a small matter, and we’ve just waited a little longer. Who wouldn’t feel uncomfortable eating grains and cereals? Cousin shouldn’t punish her. it’s not easy being a servant, so please understand.”

“Swish! Heh heh.” A laugh sounded out. Meng Yanran looked up and down at Mu Yunyao, and her smile was full of sarcasm, “The Su family has always had clear rules, and you should get punished if you do something wrong. Although you are from the countryside, you shouldn’t treat yourself as a servant. If you still have to be considerate about everything, how can you still have the authority of a master? Why don’t you serve your maid instead?”

Meng Yanran carefully looked at Mu Yunyao. She originally wanted to find out something inappropriate from her, but after looking at her over and over again, she still couldn’t do it. The skirt she was wearing was a relatively common style nowadays: wide sleeves, long pendants, and fringes around the waist. It is difficult to wear such a skirt. But when Mu Yunyao wears it, her entire figure appeared slender and exquisite, fresh and delicate.

Does it seem like she was here to stir up trouble?

Mu Yunyao secretly pondered in her heart. Meng Yanran’s style of doing things had always domineering, and the people she came in contact with usually had pretty much the same status, so it wasn’t too apparent. However, it was her turn, so she might as well use this opportunity to establish her prestige.

Mu Yunyao nodded very solemnly, with a pure, innocent look in her eyes: “I just came here, so I didn’t know that the Su family rules were strict. Since it’s like this, I can’t let this maid off so easily. Cousin, according to the Su family’s rules, what should we do? Beat them to death? Or o be expelled from the residence?”

Su Yuyi was stunned, while Meng Yanran didn’t know how to react.

“Please have mercy, Young Miss! I know my wrongs, and I don’t dare to make a mistake again! Please have mercy on me! I don’t want to die, and I don’t want to be expelled!”

Meng Yanran’s willowy brows slanted inwards, and her brows furrowed tightly. She pointed at Mu Yunyao with a face filled with shock and anger, “Why are you so malicious?”

Mu Yunyao looked puzzled. “Wasn’t it Elder Sister Meng who just said that? As a master, you should have the authority of the master. Don’t think of yourself as a servant, and understand everything about your servant. Since I have the authority, then you will naturally be punished if you make a mistake?”

“Although it’s a punishment, she merely left for a while due to discomfort. Isn’t you cruel enough to kill people or drive them out of the house because she let you stand for a while longer?”

“Then, according to what Elder Sister Meng said, what should I do?”

“For such a small matter, you only need to punish her to kneeling for a while.”

Mu Yunyao nodded and looked at the kneeling maid. “Then kneel for a quarter of an hour. After all, Elder Sister Meng said there was a mistake, but you can’t go without punishment.”

The maid who escaped calamity quickly kowtowed to express her gratitude, “Thank you for your magnanimity, Young Miss Biao.” Just kneeling for a quarter of an hour was the same as not being punished!

Meng Yanran subconsciously felt that something was wrong. Her gaze landed on the maid who was deeply grateful to Mu Yunyao, and her eyes suddenly trembled. She originally wanted to hurt Mu Yunyao, but she did not expect to be misled by her words. Instead, she would appear to be overbearing and arrogant, allowing Mu Yunyao to take advantage of her and gain some leniency and magnanimity!

~ SEND A MEETING GIFT ~ 

“The Old Madam’s mood fluctuated too greatly yesterday, and today she has a slight headache. She told me that if Madam and Young Miss come over, I will ask to return and take a good rest. They are all family members, and the family does not need to be so formal.” 

“Mother has a headache. Did you ask the doctor to look at it?” Su Qing asked.

“I’ve already asked a doctor to take a look at it. They say it’s not a big problem, and only need to drink two sets of decoctions to recuperate.” Wen Mama answered respectfully.

Su Qing nodded, “Then I am relieved.”

Although she didn’t receive permission to enter to pay her respects, Mu Yunyao accompanied Su Qing to pay her respects outside the courtyard before returning to Jiyue Pavillion.

Ever since Bu Xian Luo opened, Su Qing also started to like drinking tea. Jiyue Pavilion had a lotus pond in its courtyard, and the scenery was still rather pleasing to the eye. Thus, she asked to set up tea sets in the small pavilion.

After Mu Yunyao finished brewing the tea, she brought the teacup to Su Qing, and then took a thick booklet to look through it carefully, “It was a busy day yesterday, and the luggage carried back a bit slower, so we didn’t send out the meeting gifts. If we continue to delay today, it won’t be justified. Jin Lan, you will go and call Zhou Mama to come over.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Very quickly, Zhou Mama walked over. “Greetings, Madam. Greetings, Young Miss.”

Mu Yunyao raised her head. “Zhou Mama, you know the situation in residence better than my mother and me, so there are some things that still need your guidance. Jin Lan, get someone to bring up the gift that Mother had prepared.”

Soon, a series of boxes were placed in the yard.

Mu Yunyao stood up and gestured for Zhou Mama to come forward. “Mama, take a look. These are all prepared to honor the Old Madam. Is there anything inappropriate about them?”

The jewels were almost dazzling, and Zhou Mama looked stunned. She had seen many good things with the Eldest Madam, but now that she saw these boxes, she felt that she hadn’t seen enough. “Madam and Young Miss have prepared them extremely well, so the Old Madam will definitely like them.”

“Zhou Mama is very knowledgeable. Since you said it’s alright, then it’s natural that it can’t be wrong. Jin Lan arranged for someone to send it to Grandmother.” After she finished speaking, Mu Yunyao pointed to something else. “These are for Eldest Aunt and Second Aunt, and the rest are for the brothers and sisters in residence. What do you think, Zhou Mama?”

Zhou Mama looked carefully at the gifts and couldn’t help but secretly praise them in her heart. She didn’t know how Mu Yunyao’s thoughts had grown, but she couldn’t find any mistakes in these gifts. Moreover, they were really exquisite and precious. “The gift that Madam and Young Miss prepared couldn’t be more complete.”

“Jin Lan and Jin Qiao have gone to deliver some things to Grandmother. As for the rest of the places, I’d like to ask Zhou Mama to call some people to help send the things over.”

The expression in Zhou Mama’s eyes changed as she looked somewhat troubled. “This …”

Mu Yunyao slightly raised her brows, “Could there be something wrong with it?”

“There is nothing wrong with that. It is because the gifts prepared by Madam and Young Miss are too precious. This servant is afraid of any mishaps.”

“What are you saying, Mama? I heard from Qi Mama that you’re also a veteran in residence. Earlier, you also were highly regarded by Eldest Aunt, so what could happen if you gave some gifts?”

Zhou Mama thought for a moment and couldn’t help but nod. “This servant will immediately go and arrange it.”

“Alright.”

After arranging the gifts, Mu Yunyao’s expression became even more relaxed. She sat in the pavilion and accompanied Su Qing to drink her tea, “How does Mother feel about this tea?”

“My mouth doesn’t have your spirit. No matter how subtle the taste is, I can’t taste the difference. I only feel that there is less sweetness when compared to the water in Jingling City.”

“Previously, the water used to brew tea in Bu Xian Luo was all from the mash spring water, so naturally, the water there would be much better than in other places. However, there are a few springs wide renowned in the Capital. I’ll let someone find it and give it to Mother for a taste in a few days.”

Su Qing quickly shook her head, “Why are you so troublesome? Besides, the cost of fetching water from the mash spring was quite high. Everything in the Capital is expensive, so fetching water is naturally not cheap. If you can save some, then save some.”

Previously, Mu Yunyao had given most of the silver taels earned by Bu Xian Lou and Ni YunFang to the people of Jingling City. Those meeting gifts were more precious and had cost an unknown amount of silver, so save some if you can save some silver.

Mu Yunyao naturally guessed what Su Qing was worried about, but she couldn’t say the silver she earned from the salt tax couldn’t be told clearly. Otherwise, she might have to stay awake all night, “Mother, you don’t need to worry too much. Now, Bu Xian Luo is getting more and more widespread, Ni Yun Fang has also started making silver. You can rest assured that you can spend it boldly, but you will never spend all of it.”

“I just feel that it’s a bit of a pity.” Su Qing also knew that she was used to hardships. Now that she had money, she could not bear to waste it. Thus, when she saw so many precious gifts given to people who had harmed her daughter in her previous life, her heart was already in pain.

Mu Yunyao’s face blossomed into a dazzling smile. Smiling, she said in a soft voice, “Mother, don’t worry. Since we’ve already sent the things out, we’ll naturally be able to get them back from other places.”

She hated those people even more than Su Qing. If she wanted to give them gifts, she would have packed some Blood Seal Throat poison, and she won’t waste silver in vain.

Su Qing sighed, “Let’s not talk about these things. If we continue, we won’t even have the mood to drink tea anymore.”

Not long after she finished speaking, Si Qin walked in and reported, “Madam, Miss, just now Eldest Miss sent someone to deliver a message, saying that Miss Meng from the Grand Preceptor’s family would be here as a guest. She has heard so much about you, so she invited you to the east courtyard.”

Mu Yunyao slightly raised her eyes. “The Grand Preceptor’s family’s Miss Meng?” Meng Yanran?

Su Qing was slightly nervous, “Yao’er, do you know who that Miss Meng is?”

“Her name is Meng Yanran, the Eldest’s niece, born in the Grand Preceptor’s family. Her father is the Minister of Rites, her grandfather is a first rank Grand Preceptor of the current Dynasty, and her grandmother is a princess of Qingning. She can be said to be the first-class daughter of the Imperial Capital, and Su Yuyi also must be polite to her by three points.”

Hearing that the other party had such an illustrious identity, Su Qing became even more worried in her heart. “Yao’er, why do I feel that this person has come with ill intentions?”

Of course, it’s the bad ones! However, Mu Yunyao didn’t want to say it out loud, as it’ll make her mother more worried, “Mother, don’t worry. It’s nothing important. It’s just a meeting. Can she eat people? Sooner or later, I will have to come into contact with her. It’s good to see her now.”

When they were in Jingling City, although there were some twists and turns, most of them filled with goodwill. When she suddenly came to the Capital, Su Qing only felt that she had to be careful when she took a step. She also felt uncomfortable as there was a nail pricking her feet.

“That’s true, but you still have to be careful. After all, that Miss Meng has a high status. If you anger her and want to punish you, I’m afraid no one will help us…”

Mu Yunyao could not help but smile. Although their statuses were not worth mentioning in front of the Su Family, in the end, she had received rewards from the Emperor several times, and there are Ni Yunfang and Bu Xian Luo with them. No matter how arrogant and domineering Meng Yanran was, she did not dare to go too far. After all, no matter how illustrious the Meng family was, they would not be able to cover it up with a single move. Moreover, the Meng family and the Su family were different. The most favored young miss of the Su family was Su Yuyi, and her nurturing and care for her had reached the point where f devoting the whole family’s strength. Unlike Meng Yanran, there are quite a few people in the family who are on the same level as her.

“Mother, you can rest assured. I guarantee you that I will return in full.”

~ THE FIRST NIGHT IN THE SU RESIDENCE ~ 

 
After setting up Jiyue Pavilion, Mu Yunyao looked at the rooms that were about the same as the one at Jingling City, and a look of satisfaction flashed in her eyes. “What do you think, Mother?”

 
Su Qing was naturally satisfied. However, she was a little worried in her heart. “If we change all the things in Jiyue Pavilion, is there something wrong with that?”

“It doesn’t matter. It’s Zhou Mama who said that it’s okay to replace it. There is nothing wrong with it. Mother doesn’t have to worry about it. We’ve been on the boat for the past few days, so I’m sure you’re quite tired. Let’s rest a bit earlier today.”

“Sure.”

After finishing her meal, Mu Yunyao chatted with Su Qing for a while, but she was still awake. She leaned against the soft couch with one hand against her forehead and closed her eyes to rest. Jin Lan lifted up the box containing the Snow Fox. When the Snow Fox saw Mu Yunyao, it hurriedly extended its claws to scratch the cage before making a whining sound from its mouth.

Mu Yunyao opened her eyes and looked over, only to see the two claws in front of the Snow Fox hugging each other, its hind legs standing straight up as it bowed towards her.

Mu Yunyao laughed fiercely and motioned for Jin Lan to open the cage. She watched as the Snow Fox quickly climbed onto her shoulder. “When did you learn how to flatter and grovel?”

The Snow Fox pulled down from Mu Yunyao’s shoulder. She placed it on her knees and rubbed her head. Her small ears constantly trembled, and her squinted eyes had a prominently satisfied look. “Wuwu …”

Jin Qiao covered her mouth on one side and said with a smile, “Young Miss, Ta Xue is so intelligent. The servant only demonstrated it once to it, and it learned it immediately.”

Mu Yunyao scratched the Snow Fox’s chin, then gently pinched the meat pad on her front paws. Looking at its sharp claws, she said faintly, “Since you’re so smart, then learn a little more. Jin Qiao, another day you ask Liu Liang to teach you a few moves. After that, you can teach the Snow Fox, and I’ll take it to get something nice some other day.”

“Huh?” Jin Qiao was dumbfounded. “Miss, you want me to teach Snow Fox martial arts?”

“Yeah, didn’t you praise it for being extremely intelligent? I think learning martial arts is not bad either.”

Jin Qiao’s entire face collapsed: “But, but...”

Jin Lan, who was standing by the side, couldn’t help chuckling. “Miss is teasing you. Are you serious?”

Jin Qiao raised her head and met Mu Yunyao’s eyes, which filled with smiles. She couldn’t help but stamp her feet with a blushing face. “This servant will help Young Miss make up the bed.”

After helping Mu Yunyao wash up, Jin Lan softly persuaded, “Miss, don’t let your thoughts run wild. You should rest well tonight, and you’ll be energetic tomorrow.”

“Mm, all of you can go rest.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Mu Yunyao leaned against the headboard in her undergarment. The Snow Fox then jumped onto the embroidered blanket on her legs and extended its front paws to hold Mu Yunyao’s fingers to lick them. The tail behind it continuously swayed, and it looked extremely pleased with itself.

Mu Yunyao stroked the Snow Fox in her hands, but her thoughts couldn’t help but drift off into the distance.

In her previous life, she thought about every day was how to survive under Madam Li. But she suddenly got recognized by the Su family, and they take her out of Xiayan Village. While she was uneasy, she also carried deep anticipation at the same time. Her mother and father were no longer alive, and Madam Li had been torturing her all day, but the sudden appearance of relatives has almost become the lifeline in her eyes.

At that time, Zhou Mama had kept on persuading her along the way, letting her try her best to please the Old Madam and the Eldest Madam, telling her how noble the Su family’s family was…,

After entering the residence, she first suffered gravely ill. After getting well, she could meet the Old Madam, but she found that she didn’t have decent clothes. Just as she was feeling anxious, suddenly there were clothes delivered, but all of them were bright red and green. At that time, she thought they were inappropriate, but Zhou Mama said she was more festive and could please the Old Madam if she wears that cloth, so she comes to see the Old Madam in that red dress. Furthermore, the maid had played tricks on her, making her kneel down and kowtow the moment she entered the door. The Old Madam scolded her for not being filial and for not wearing proper clothes. Because of that, her reputation got ruined.

The servants would look at their Master or Mistress’s face the most. As soon as she enters the door, she makes the Old Madam unhappy, and the situation becomes more difficult. Although she was feeling sad at the time, it was still much better to be in the Su family’s residence than under Madam Li’s hand. At the very least, Mu Yunyao could eat a hearty meal and sleep on a soft bed. But not long after that, she discovered the secret relationship between her maids and servants. Then she was ordered by the Eldest Madam to kill him in front of her maid.

A living person was beaten to death with one stick after another. The scent of blood on the ground dissipated after half a month. Mu Yunyao had been severely ill, and there were rumors that the maid had helped her out during the disaster, but in reality, she was the one who had secretly been taught a lesson by the people.

At this point, her reputation was gone completely, and she was forbidden to step out of the courtyard again.

This restriction lasted for half a year. After half a year later …,

A warm feeling came from her fingers, startling Mu Yunyao’s thoughts, causing her to open her eyes and looked at the Snow Fox who was rubbing her fingers, “What are you doing? Do you feel hungry?”

“Woo woo …” The Snow Fox turned its body, revealing its soft belly. It tilted its head and looked at Mu Yunyao.

“Heh, you’re a fox, but why is your temper like a cat?” Mu Yunyao’s mood improved a lot. She got up and picked up a piece of dessert, breaking it bit by bit, before feeding it to the Snow Fox. “I remember that foxes eat meat. Do you want to eat mink?”

“Awoooo.” The Snow Fox narrowed its eyes as it bit into Mu Yunyao’s dessert. The movement of its small ears made it look exceptionally adorable.

Mu Yunyao’s smile deepened. “Seeing your silly appearance, you might not even be able to beat a cat, much less a Snow Ferret. The person who caught you didn’t have good eyesight and really lacking insight …”

The figure of Yue Wang suddenly appeared in Mu Yunyao’s mind. She was stunned for a moment before reacting. She hurriedly stopped and put the Snow Fox on the pillow beside her. She wiped off the crumbs on her hands, pulled the blanket over her, and laid down.

The Snow Fox laid on the side of Mu Yunyao’s pillow. It curled its little head and nudged the blanket at the side of its neck, wanting to crawl in and sleep together with Mu Yunyao.

However, Mu Yunyao pushed it to the side with extreme disgust.

The Snow Fox hugged its head with its claws as it cried out. Its cries became more and more pitiful, and even its body couldn’t help but tremble.

Mu Yunyao glanced at it with a bit of annoyance. In the end, she wasn’t able to harden her heart to let it continue like this. She slightly lifted up the blanket, revealing a small gap. The Snow Fox quickly got into the blanket and lay down next to Mu Yunyao’s arm. The appearance is exceptionally well-behaved.

Mu Yunyao sneered. “If you can’t beat the Snow Ferret, I will definitely take your skin off as a handguard.”

“Awoooo.”

That night, Mu Yunyao slept very soundly and peacefully. When she woke up the next day, she felt refreshed. On the other hand, Su Qing did not sleep soundly and appeared to be in low spirits when she had breakfast.

“Yao’er, after breakfast, shouldn’t we pay respects to the Old Madam?”

“The Old Madam is considerate of us. Generally, it is the first day and the fifteenth day of the year to pay respect. Today, according to the rules, we don’t need to do it. However, we just came back to Su’s residence yesterday, so no matter what, we have to go over and take a look today. If the Old Madam is willing to see us, we can accompany her and chat a bit. If she is not willing, we also show our sincerity.”

“Alright, then let’s go now.”

Mu Yunyao smiled and nodded to Su Qing. But in her heart, she was sure that the Old Madam would never see them. As expected, when they arrived outside the Old Madam’s courtyard, Wen Mama came out to welcome them.

~ THE REACTION OF THE SU FAMILY ~ 

Su Yuyi’s smile faded as a ray of light flashed across her eyes: “Mother, what do you think of that Mu Yunyao?”

“How can the light of rice grains compete with the bright moon?” A flicker of disdain passed through the Eldest Madam’s eyes, “There are a lot of smart people, but they are harmless. Yu Yi, you don’t need to focus your mind on her. She’s just a girl who grew up in the countryside, and it’s just a matter of moving my fingers to take care of her. Mother has her own plans, and you only need to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival’s Palace banquet, do you understand?” 

“Yes, Mother. I understand.” Su Yuyi’s smile blossomed again.

After confirming that Mu Yunyao was the Old Madam’s granddaughter, whenever she attended a banquet during this time, she would hear rumors about Mu Yunyao. They said how outstanding she was in Jingling City, how famous Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo was…,

One by one, they caused her to feel extremely unhappy. Now that she had just entered the residence, she had actually nearly caused her mother to lose face. Naturally, she had to think of a way to teach her some lessons. Did she really think that the Capital was a small place like Jingling City where she could jump up and down?

Inside Jiyue Pavilion, Zhou Mama was a little dumbfounded. When Mu Yunyao had asked her if she could change the furnishings here, she thought that it would be just one or two of them, which is naturally harmless. But who would have thought that Mu Yunyao would have replaced a whole set!

Jin Lan directed her people to move out of the original screen partition. She looked at the bewildered Zhou Mama and asked, “Mama, where should we place these replaced items?”

Zhou Mama quickly came back to her senses: “This... I’ll go and ask the Eldest Madam to see what arrangements she has.”

“Then Mama, hurry up and come back. It’s not proper to have so many things piled up in the courtyard.”

Zhou Mama nodded and quickly ran out.

The Eldest Madam was currently accompanying Su Yuyi to look at the clothes she will wear for the Mid-Autumn Festival. When she heard a servant report that Zhou Mama was requesting an audience, she called her in and said, “Zhou Mama, why aren’t you serving Lady Su and Miss Mu well? Why are you here?”

“Reporting to Madam, Miss Mu has changed quite a few of the furnishings in Jiyue Pavilion, and they are now all in the courtyard. Your servant has come to ask for instructions on how to deal with them?”

“Change a lot of furnishings?” Su Yuyi smiled and said, “No wonder Cousin Yunyao brought so many things with her. She even brought furniture and decorations.”

Hearing the sarcasm in Su Yuyi’s words, Zhou Mama moved her lips and let out a dry laugh.

The Eldest Madam noticed her expression, and her eyes suddenly darkened. “How much did she change?”

“In reply to Madam, it’s almost … almost all of them have got replaced. “

The Eldest Madam held two jade bracelets in her hands, and when she heard these words, she slightly tightened her grip. The two bracelets collided with each other, making a clanging sound as she said, “The things in Jiyue Pavilion are all selected from the best. Since they don’t like it, then all the items go to the warehouse.”

“Yes, Ma’am.” Sensing the anger in the Eldest Madam’s words, Zhou Mama didn’t dare to stay any longer. After asking the question, she hurriedly left.

Su Yuyi no longer had the intention to choose clothes, her smile was still overflowing, but her eyes became colder: “Mother, tomorrow Sister Yanran wants to play with me. She has already been curious about Cousin Yunyao for a long time. It just so happened that I went over and took a look at it together with her. It also a great time to introduce Cousin Yunyao to my friend later.”

The Eldest Madam slowly nodded her head, “That’s fine too. But your sister Yanran has been spoiled by your grandmother, and she usually speaks and does things that are not accurate. You have to persuade more on one side. Don’t hurt the feelings between the sisters because of a little thing.”

Su Yuyi nodded obediently: “Don’t worry, Mother. I have a sense of measure in my heart.” The relationship between her and Sister Yanran had always been harmonious, so naturally, it wouldn’t harm their sisterhood. However, if anything happened to Mu Yunyao, she wouldn’t be able to persuade her. There was nothing she could do.

When Zhou Mama returned to Jiyue Pavilion, she immediately ordered some servants to bring the changed furnishings and furniture to the storage room. Such a commotion soon spread to the Old Madam and the Second Madam.

The Second Madam, who was currently drinking tea, chuckled. She looked at the pale-faced young girl on one side, and her eyes were full of heartache, “You’er, that Cousin Yunyao is only three months younger than you, and she has an interesting personality. If you’re interested, you can go and have a chat with her.”

Su You raised his head, picked up the medicine bowl in front of her, and drank it down, “I don’t know much about embroidery or tea ceremony, so what’s there to talk about with her?”

“It’s not like I’m going to force you to talk about embroidery and tea ceremony. It’s possible to talk about other things as well.”

“Does she know anything other than embroidery and tea ceremony?” Su You ignored her and threw the bowl directly on the table, “This time, the doctor was bad. The medicine he concocted was bitter and astringent. After drinking it, I can only taste it. As for anything else, it’s useless and doesn’t affect. Mother, please help me change him.”

The Second Madam once again considered her words to persuade her, “You’er, the one who prescribed the medicine this time is Imperial Physician Xiao. His medical skills were even praised by the Emperor highly. If it doesn’t work for you to drink for a while, how about changing it for your mother?”

“No, I can’t even take a single sip of the medicine he prescribed. If Mother isn’t willing to change him, then forget it, I don’t care anyway.” Su You threw the medicine bowl to the side. She didn’t know whether it was because she drank too fast, but he actually felt extremely nauseous. She couldn’t help but holding her chest and directly vomited out the medicine she had drunk.

The Second Madam quickly stepped forward to support her. The maids and servants were holding water and carrying basins. The room was in a mess.

The Second Madam said with tears in her eyes, “Silly Girl. If you don’t like this medicine, don’t drink it. Why do you have to force yourself? Mother will tell your father tomorrow to replace Imperial Physician Xiao.”

After vomiting, Su You’s face turned even paler. She got helped to lie down on the bed, and her breathing became messy, “Mother, don’t worry about me. I’m already used to it. Maybe someday …”

The Second Madam’s eyes were red, and her body was trembling, “You little girl, do you really want to hurt your mother to death? Aren’t you trying to dig my heart out by giving yourself up like this?”

Su You was stunned. Her fingers under the quilt tightened, but she acted like she didn’t care, “Mother has to get used to it, and the aunts below have a lot of children too. Whichever one of you likes, please take one over. Why spend all your time on me?”

“Child, did you hear any rumors or gossips from somewhere? Or did someone give you a hard time?”

“Whoever dares to gives a hard time, I’ll get my men to beat him to death!”

“Okay, okay. It’s okay if you don’t get angry. You can do whatever you want, but don’t abuse yourself. Mother...” She has only one child. Looking at her sickly appearance, she wants to replace her by herself. Therefore, her heart was trembling, and she could not bear to say a heavy word.

Su You frowned, “I’m tired. I want to rest.”

“Then Mother will not say anymore. I’ll sit on the side and look at you. You have good rest.” Su You immediately rolled over and laid down on her face. Not long after, she fell into a deep sleep.
