Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 270

~ THE EMPEROR WANTS TO SEE MU YUNYAO? ~ 

Initially, Mu Yunyao tried her best to empty her thoughts into a hollow so that the pain in her body can be relieved a bit. After hearing Jin Lan’s question, she suddenly came back to her senses, “Tell his people to go back and tell them that we have the usual medicine for traumatic injuries prepared here, and we don’t need a doctor to come and check on it again. Also, take a bottle of Red Injury Medicine and tell the person who came over to said to My Elder Cousin that he needs to take good care of himself.”

Today, she could smell the scent of blood emanating from Su Qingwu. It was as though he had been injured somewhere. Since he was the first to express his goodwill, she had to respond in any way. He might even be of use in the future.

“Yes, Miss.”

Su Qingwu took a small bottle of medicine from his attendant and slightly rotated it around his finger, making his eyes became extremely deep.

The attendant repeated the words sent by Jin Lan. “... Young Master, please rest early. The Third Prince said that he would not come to visit you in residence because it’s going to be a long day’s work.”

“I understand. You can leave now.” After his attendant left, Su Qingwu looked at the medicine bottle in his hand for a long time. He seemed to be deep in thought, but he didn’t know what he was thinking. Then, he put the bottle away in a drawer and lay down on the bed to have a rest.

The next morning, when he had just gotten up, he saw his attendant hurriedly walking in, “Young Master, someone from the Palace has arrived.”

Su Qingwu’s eyebrows moved: “I think it should be to issue some rewards. If you are nervous, just set up an incense table to welcome him.”

“No, the person from the Palace designated to meet Miss Mu. He says that Miss Mu will enter the Palace tomorrow because the Emperor wants to see her!”

Su Qingwu’s eyes quivered, and between his eyebrows, a frown appeared. “Did Mother know about it?”

“The Eldest Madam already knows. She’s taking some people to Jiyue Pavilion right now.”

At this moment, not only was the Eldest Madam alarmed. But, the entire Su family’s backyard was also in a state of panic. Old Madam Sun naturally knew what had happened yesterday. However, she also had the same thoughts as the Eldest Madam. She thought that Mu Yunyao wouldn’t be able to stir up any trouble and totally regarded Mu Yunyao’s words as a joke. No one expected that, just after one night, suddenly there was news from the Palace that the Emperor wanted to see her!

Currently, Mu Yunyao’s face was covered with injuries. Although she had only been hit two times, she probably wouldn’t be able to walk easily because of her delicate appearance. How could she enter the Palace like this?

In Jiyue Pavillion, Mu Yunyao was sitting on a chair with a pale face, and two cushions were placed behind her back. Her body was also still covered in a cold sweat from the pain. Her face was filled with an apologetic expression as she spoke to Eunuch Li, who had come to deliver the imperial edict, “It’s been a while. Has Lord Li been well?”

This Lord Li is Li De, who went to Jingling City last time to give a decree and reward, and is the apprentice of Xu Li, the current head of the internal servant: “You can’t call me ‘Lord Li’ like this. It is already an honor to be called ‘Eunuch Li’ by you. When I heard from my master that the Emperor wanted to summon you into the Palace, I immediately took over the work as soon as I heard it. It’s just that Miss Mu’s face is not very good?”

Mu Yunyao’s smile became a bit forced, but she shook her head slightly. “It’s nothing. Maybe because I just came to the Capital, so I’m not acclimatized to it.”

Eunuch Li’s gaze turned to the bluish-purple palm print on her face. You can’t get a slap mark on your face if you aren’t acclimatized. He knew in his heart that she must have been hit, but he still followed Mu Yunyao’s words, “The climate of the Capital and Jingling City are very different, so it’s possible that Miss Mu isn’t able to acclimatize yet. If you take a rest longer, you will be fine. However, Young Miss might enter the Palace tomorrow?”

“Yunyao was lucky enough that the Emperor had set his eyes on her, and he gave her rewards several times. Not to mention feeling a little uncomfortable, even if she broke her leg, she still had to crawl to the Palace to kowtow and express gratitude to the Emperor.” Mu Yunyao had a sincere smile on her face as her words came out from her mouth, always let people feel sincere.

Eunuch Li nodded his head and said with a smile, “Please get more rest. After the message is delivered, I will not stay any longer.”

Mu Yunyao looked at Jin Lan. Jin Lan hurriedly took a purse and gave it to Eunuch Li, “I’ll have to trouble Eunuch to come here in a hurry and during his busy schedule. Please have some tea on your way back.”

“Then, I’ll thank Miss Mu.” After that, he put the purse back into his sleeve. With a flip of his hand, there was no trace of it.

Mu Yunyao asked Jin Qiao to help her get up to see Eunuch Li off. Just as she arrived at the courtyard’s entrance, she saw the Eldest Madam, who had brought her people over in a hurry. “Greetings, Eldest Aunt.”

“Greetings, Madam Meng.” Eunuch Li cupped his hands and bowed.

The Eldest Madam smiled, apparently knowing that he is the head of the internal servant’s apprentice. “Eunuch Li, why are you so anxious to leave? I’ve already ordered people to hold a banquet, so you should eat something before departing. Yunyao, you too, Eunuch Li came all the way here to convey the Emperor’s announcement. Why didn’t you let him stay for a while?”

The smile on Mu Yunyao’s face was light, “It’s my fault.”

Eunuch Li, on the other side, quickly smiled and said, “There are still many matters to attend to in the Palace. There is absolutely no time to spare today. Let Madam Meng prepare one for nothing. I will definitely come to apologize another day.”

“What are you saying, Eunuch Li? Since the Palace is busy, we naturally cannot delay it. If there is a chance in the future, we will invite Eunuch Li to have a drink some other day.”

Eunuch Li smiled and cupped his hands, “Then we shall take our leave first.”

“Send Eunuch Li off.”

After waiting for Eunuch Li to leave, Mu Yunyao’s legs fiercely staggered as she leaned directly on Jin Qiao’s body. Her face was so white that it didn’t have the slightest hint of blood on it.

Jin Qiao cried out in alarm. “Miss, please hold on a little. This servant will help you go back and rest.”

The Eldest Madam’s smiling face froze on the spot, but she had no choice but to grind her teeth and follow Jin Qiao’s footsteps to Mu Yunyao’s room to visit her.

After settling down, Su Qing stood by the bed and secretly shed tears. “Eldest Sister-in-law, Yunyao was born prematurely, so she’s always been weak. I’m afraid she won’t be able to talk to you right now.”

The Eldest Madam smiled more stiffly: “Yao’er’s health is more important, so you should blame me for not being able to stop that little girl Yanran yesterday. She was supposed to be playing around with her little sisters. But who knew that things would turn out like this? I’ll definitely properly talk about her and have her apologize to Yao’er.”

There was no need to mention how furious the Eldest Madam was when she said these words. However, she couldn’t help but says that. If she didn’t appease Mu Yunyao right now and let her speak nonsense in front of the Emperor, things would really be terrible.

Mu Yunyao laid on the bed with her eyes closed as if she had already passed out. No matter what the Eldest Madam said, she didn’t open her eyes to reply.

The Eldest Madam’s heart very annoyed, this shameless girl! But there is no other way. She can only leave bitterly and go to the Old Madam to ask for an idea.

At this moment, Old Madam Sun’s heart was similarly restless. She had only used a small amount of time for breakfast before stopping her chopsticks. Upon hearing that the Eldest Madam had come seeking an audience, her expression darkened as she ordered Wen Mama to call for her.

“Greetings, Mother.” After the Eldest Madam entered, she formally bowed to her. However, as soon as she finished speaking, she could not hear the Old Madam calling out to her. Therefore, she could only maintain her posture as she remained frozen on the spot, her thoughts slowly sinking down.

After drank half a cup of tea, Old Madam Sun finally opened her mouth. “These two days, my energy has been running out, so I’ve been so distracted that I forgot to ask you to get up. Quickly, sit down and have a rest.”

The Eldest Madam’s smile didn’t waver as she heard her words, revealing a look of worry. “Mother’s body isn’t well, so why didn’t you take the post and ask for the imperial physician to come and take a look? It’s all because this daughter-in-law is not filial. During this time, they were too preoccupied with Sister Su Qing’s matters that I forget to take care of you. Please asked Mother to punish me.”

~ MOTHER AND SON DISAGREEMENT ~ 

The Eldest Madam patted Su Yuyi’s hand in satisfaction, “After today’s incident, the Old Madam’s attitude has become clear. She doesn’t take this granddaughter to heart, and she might even be full of disgust. Later, she sent her far away, that is, you didn’t have to dirty your hands because of such a person.”

Su Yuyi asked out the doubt in her heart, “Mother, I still have one thing I don’t understand. You said that Lin Yuhan is not stupid. Could I believe what she’s saying?”

“Do you really think that she was forced by Meng Yanran to fake her injuries? You should have seen clearly what kind of person Lin Yuhan is after such a long time. She was like a dog that the Old Madam kept by her feet. Usually, she would be used to accompany the Old Madam to calm her mind. If there were people The Old Madam didn’t like, she would let them out and bite them off. Anyway. Lin Yuhan’s identity was an official servant, so she might not as good as the servant who signed the indenture contract. She did not dare to leave the Su family, but rather she couldn’t leave the Su family. So she must follow everything the Old Madam says. Look, are there any better dogs than she does?”

Su Yuyi’s eyes trembled as she secretly understood the Eldest Madam’s meaning. Lin Yuhan knew about medicine, which could be used to save a person, and naturally, it could be used to harm a person. The reason the Old Madam was raising her was that she probably wanted to make use of this fact: “Then, from Mother’s perspective, does the Old Madam have any instructions today?”

The Eldest Madam smiled and asked, “What do you think?”

Su Yuyi looked into the Eldest Madam’s eye and slightly nodded her head. The curve of her head was indiscernible. If it wasn’t for the Old Madam’s orders, how could her mother be so sure of herself that the Old Madam dislikes Mu Yunyao, her granddaughter?

The Eldest Madam continued to laugh and did not directly answer Su Yuyi’s question, “All these years, Mother has been in charge of the backyard, although it looks bright and beautiful, the pain behind it is nothing out of the ordinary. The most important thing is to take care of the Old Madam. You also know that your father’s filial piety is important to him. Even though his official position is now prominent, he is still obedient to the Old Madame. When the Old Madam was young, she had experienced many things with the Old Master. Even though she is old and doesn’t like to ask about the family’s affairs, she knew everything about the big things and the little things that happened here.”

Su Yuyi thought about it for a moment and nodded, “Mother, I collected a few pearls from the Southern Ocean a few days ago. They are plump, round, and purple in color. It was quite rare to turn brightly under candlelight. I want to make a mark for Grandmother and send it to her tomorrow.”

“Alright, your filial piety is the only one in this residence. Other people can’t even compare to it.”

“Then, Daughter will go down and prepare it.”

“Go ahead and light some candles so as not to hurt your eyes.”

“Yes.”

After sending Su Yuyi off, the smile on Eldest Madam’s face faded a little, and she called the mama by her side and asked, “Where is Master?”

“Reporting to Madam, it’s the Sixth Madame’s birthday today. Master has sent someone over to pass the message that he was resting at Xianghe Garden tonight.”

The Eldest Madam nodded. “Tomorrow morning, I will send some of Old Master’s favorite meals, and I’ll also give Liu Yiniang two pieces of silk as a reward. During this time, she took good care of Old Master.”

“Yes, Ma’am.”

“Go and call Young Master.”

Soon, Su Qingwu arrived in front of the Eldest Madam. “Greetings, Mother.”

The Eldest Madam raised her head, looking at Su Qingwu with a cold gaze. After a long moment, she said, “Qingwu, Mother thought that you always had a sense of propriety when doing things, but who would’ve thought that you’ve actually committed such a mistake today!” Su Qingwu listened to Mu Yunyao’s words and continued to stay in the small Lu Yi Pavillion instead of listening to her for retreat, which made her deeply bothered.

Su Qingwu stood up, her handsome face a tinge of paleness, but the Eldest Madam was so angry that she didn’t notice anything unusual. “Mother, I don’t approve of your actions in today’s matters.”

The Eldest Madam raised her eyebrows, “Do you think I shouldn’t have suppressed this matter today? Could it be that you want me to let Yanran down for Mu Yunyao, a girl from the countryside, and even make trouble with the Meng family?”

“It’s obvious that Miss Meng is making trouble out of nothing. Mother only needed justice, and even if the matter were to spread to the Meng family, Grand Preceptor Meng wouldn’t be ignorant and blame you for the mistake. But if you continue to suppress things like this, the situation might become unmanageable.”

The Eldest Madam could not help but chuckle. “Can’t you clean it? Could it be that a little Mu Yunyao could defy the heavens? Qingwu, I know that you’ve once sent out orders for His Majesty in Jingling City, so you can’t help but think highly of Mu Yunyao. But in the end, she’s just a silly little girl. Even if she is recognized as an adopted daughter by Cao yunnian, what can she do?”

Su Qingwu didn’t know how to explain it to the Eldest Madam, but after interacting with her several times, he had a faint feeling in his heart that Mu Yunyao was definitely not an ordinary woman.

She had her own constitution and plans for doing things, and every step forward she took was very steady. One must know that a year and a half ago, she was barely penniless. Madam Li also almost sold her as a plaything. But now, she had received a reward from the Emperor, and her reputation was known by everyone in Jiangnan. I don’t know how many people are grateful to her because of the embroidery technique. Bu Xian Lou and Ni Yun Fang are becoming more and more famous. Her reputation was rising day by day. It wouldn’t be long before they come directly into the capital. How could such a woman endure such humiliation?

Seeing Su Qingwu’s silence, and his expression looks very solemn, there was a hint of irritability in the Eldest Madam’s heart: “Qingwu, aren’t you taking this matter too seriously? Now that it’s settled, there’s no point in overthinking it.”

Perhaps it was because she felt that her tone was too stiff, then she brought a trace of a smile on her face as she asked gently, “You’ve been out with the Third Prince for nearly two months. Is everything going well outside?”

Su Qingwu nodded. “In reply to Mother, everything is going well. There weren’t too many twists and turns.”

“I can see that you don’t look too good. Just rest for a few more days after you return home. Presumably, the Emperor won’t let you go back to work in a hurry.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“Mm, let’s go down and have a rest.”

After returning to his own courtyard, Su Qingwu took off his outer garment and looked at the bloodstained inner garment. The attendant hurriedly brought some medicinal powder over and helped Su Qingwu change the gauze covering his arm.

“Young Master, the wound on your hand has split open again. Please be more careful, don’t touch it again.”

“It’s okay. Go out and find out if any doctors in Jiyue Pavilion? If there is one, then ask him to come over to my place after helping Mu Yunyao take a look at her. If they don’t have, you’ll find a doctor to take a look at me, and after I’m done, you’ll send it over to Jiyue Pavilion.”

The attendant didn’t understand why Su Qingwu was paying so much attention to Jiyue Pavilion. However, Master’s affairs weren’t something that servants like him could interrupt. He could only bow and allow others to inquire about it.

Inside Jiyue Pavilion, Si Hua’s hand was smeared with medicinal oil as she helped Mu Yunyao massage the wound on her waist. Although she had only beaten two strokes, their strength was full, leaving behind a large bruise mark. If she did not take advantage of the moment to disperse the blood clot, she might not even be able to stand up tomorrow.

Mu Yunyao’s head was covered in a cold sweat from the pain. Su Qing sat by her side and used a handkerchief to wipe it away. There are tears in Su Qing’s eyes all the time, but she was afraid that Mu Yunyao might be distracted and worried about her, so she held back.

Jin Lan walked in and asked softly, “Madam, Miss, Young Master sent someone to inquire if we have a doctor?”

~ SU QING’S HATRED ~ 

Jin Lan and Jin Qiao had anxiously waiting at the entrance of Lu Yi Pavillion the entire time. When they heard loud noises coming from the courtyard, they hurriedly rushed inside but were chased out by the old maids guarding the door.

Just as they couldn’t resist the temptation to go back and find Liu Liang to rush in to snatch her away, they saw Mu Yunyao slowly walked out. The two of them were practically crying tears of joy, and they hurriedly went over to support her on both sides: “Miss, what’s wrong with you?”

Looking at the wounds on Mu Yunyao’s face and her unnatural walking posture, Jin Lan’s heart suddenly sank. She held onto Mu Yunyao’s hand tightly, saving her a bit of effort and making her lean more easily.

“It’s nothing, let’s head back to Jiyue Pavilion first.”

Su Qing had been waiting at the entrance of the courtyard and was already worried. Seeing Mu Yunyao being supported, she quickly ran over. Seeing Mu Yunyao’s appearance, Su Qing’s heart almost burst out of her chest. “Yao’er? You..., You …”

Mu Yunyao leaned into Su Qing’s embrace and gently rubbed her ear. With a trace of delicateness in her voice, she said, “Mother, I was in the wrong. I said that I would return in full shadow, but now I’ve brought an injury with me that makes you worry.”

Su Qing’s tears never stopped. Hearing this word, she felt like there a hole in her heart and her heart torn with pain. She reached out her arms to help Mu Yunyao into a hug and held her as she walked them to the room sobbing.

“Yao’er, my poor Yao’er! We have already done our best to express our goodwill. If she says that she wants us to come, then we will travel day and night together. When she says that she wants to send a greeting gift, we will do our best to collect all the precious items. If she wanted to put people around us, we would happily respond. We were afraid that we would offend others. If the Old Madam doesn’t want to acknowledge her daughter and her granddaughter, she should not provoke us. Why is she messing up our peaceful lives and insisting on bringing us here?”

Mu Yunyao had already endured it as much as she could. Now that she was in Su Qing’s embrace, all of the grievances and fragility in her heart surged forth upon hearing Su Qing’s cry. Her tears rolled down her face, and she smashed them onto the back of her hand, “Mother, my face hurts, and my waist hurts too. Nothing is comfortable on my body...”

Su Qing hurriedly and gently helped Mu Yunyao up. “Yao’er, let me take a look at your injuries …”

Mu Yunyao revealed her face, the blue and purple palm on half of her face to cause fear in the hearts of those who saw it.

Su Qing’s heart ached, and she was angry. She could not help but tremble. “Yao’er, Mother will take you away. We will not stay in the Su family anymore!”

What’s the Su family? What relative? If they really considered her and Yao’er to be relatives, how could they have done such a hateful thing like this? Today, they had slapped her and plank her twice. Tomorrow, wouldn’t she be risking her life?

How was this a home with relatives? It was clearly a pit with a steel knife in it. Once you fell down, you would be smashed to pieces. No matter what she did, she couldn’t allow Yao’er to fall into this pit of fire.

Mu Yunyao reached out to hold onto Su Qing. With tears in her eyes, she said, “Mother, everyone knows that we’ve returned to the Su family. Where can we go now?”

They never had a way out.

Su Qing became determined. “No matter where we go, as long as we leave this man-eating house, we can go anywhere. We can go back and guard Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo, isn’t there a golden signboard bestowed by the Emperor? Can’t even protect us?”

“Could it be that once we return to Jingling City, the Su family will not commit murder? Mother, it’s the same. As long as the Su family wants to harm us, we can’t escape no matter where we run them. Right now, we are in the Su family, and we have Ni Yung Fang and Bu Xian Luo, so we still have some leeway for us to go back. If we were if we are killed in another place, I’m afraid no one will know.”

Su Qing’s eyes flashed with hatred, “Yao’er, what do you want to do?”

“Mother, the Su family does not treat us as relatives, so we naturally do not have to worry about them. Therefore, I want to take revenge. I must get back the grievances I suffered today.”

Su Qing nodded her head heavily, “Alright, Mother will support you. What do you want to do? Is there anything I can help you with?”

The reason why Mu Yunyao had endured all these injuries was to let Su Qing’s train of thought completely cut off with the Su family. This time, when she returned to the Su family, she wanted to make sure that those people would die without a burial ground. If her mother regards the Old Madam Sun and others as relatives in her heart, she will inevitably have bad feelings in her heart at that time.

She could not allow her mother to treat her as a wicked person, so she could only make her mother hate the Su family and abandon them outside. This way, when she did something in the future, she wouldn’t feel sad because she sympathized with the Su family.

“Mother, don’t worry. I’ve arranged so many things before, so it’s about time to start using them.”

On the other side, the Eldest Madam brought Su Yuyi back to her room with a solemn look on her face, “Yuyi, do you know where your mistake is today?”

Su Yuyi quickly knelt down beside the Eldest Madam, hugged her arm, and acted like a spoiled child: “Mother, I shouldn’t have called Meng Yanran here in such a hurry, and I shouldn’t have let her be so careless. She almost caused a huge mess.”

The Eldest Madam’s expression relaxed slightly, and she pulled Su Yuyi’s hand to allow her to sit beside her. “Yuyi, today’s matter placed in the Su family and within your S\small Lu Yi Pavillion, we can still suppress the chaos that has happened. Mother can help you tidy up the mess this time, but if you change the place today, and there will be a slight difference in your words. What serious consequences will happen, it will be difficult to predict.”

Su Yuyi nodded immediately. “Mother used to teach me to pay attention to what I say and do when I am outside. Sometimes, if I don’t say something right, it will easily cause trouble. I’ve been too anxious today.”

The Eldest Madam was satisfied. “You always properly speak and do things, and Mother knows it, but there are still many places where you lack experience. From tomorrow onwards, you will follow Mother’s lead when taking charge of our family’s affair. You will learn how to control the complicated hearts of people. Today, other than you being too impatient, there’s also the biggest mistake you’ve made.”

“Please give me your guidance, Mother.”

“Your mistake is that you don’t understand people well enough. First, you don’t understand Meng Yanran’s temperament. You only know how arrogant she is on the surface, but you don’t realize that she has restrained herself a lot in front of you, which makes her making a scene today. She lost her dignity and almost causing a major disturbance. The second is that you don’t understand well, you still don’t know her background and temper, and then recklessly think that she’s weak and can be bullied at will. If it weren’t for Doctor Lin taking action secretly, you wouldn’t have gotten this fire afterward.”

Su Yuyi nodded, “What Mother taught me is that I really didn’t understand people clearly.”

The Eldest Madam’s smile became more genuine. “It’s not too late to know your mistakes and correct them. This matter shall be treated as a lesson for you. Just remember this in the future and don’t commit any more offenses.”

“Mother, don’t worry. Your daughter will definitely remember everything that happened today in her heart and will never make the same mistake again.”

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 267

~ THE SU FAMILY HAS NEVER BEEN A RATIONAL PLACE ~ 

Lin Yuhan bit her lip tightly. Her identity was a servant. If it weren’t for her grandfather’s favor towards the Old Master of the Su family, she definitely wouldn’t have been able to stay in the Su family safely. Now, if she really kicked out, she would have recovered her status as a servant.

Therefore, she could not be ousted away and could only push everything to Meng Yanran. Meng Yanran was the direct descendant of the Meng family, and what had happened today would at most ruin her reputation. She will lie dormant for a while and wait for others to forget. But she is different. She could not get kicked out from the Su family!

Mu Yunyao waited for Lin Yuhan to finish and slowly walked in front of the Eldest Madam. “Eldest Aunt, you should have seen the truth of the matter clearly by now. Please do justice and give me an explanation.”

Lin Yuhan was a smart person. From the fact that she has taken care of the Old Madam conscientiously for many years and only loyal to the Old Madam, it could show that she can coax her into obedience and made the Old Madam pointed her out to Su Yuyi as a dowry. We can see that the smart person naturally knows what choice to make.

Lin Yuhan’s voice fell, and the Eldest Madam’s eyes had completely sunk. She didn’t care what Mu Yunyao said, and she was even confident that Mu Yunyao wouldn’t cause any problems. But Lin Yuhan was different. She was someone close to the Old Madam and fully trusted by the Old Madam. There was no doubt that there was a shadow of the Old Madam behind the scenes, so she had to be very careful.

“Yanran … You’ve gone too far today...” The tone of the Eldest Madam lady was as light as a feather. But now, it was just like a heavy hammer, which directly determined today’s matters.

Meng Yanran was in a daze from the pain. When she heard the Eldest Madam mentioning her name, she looked over with her crimson eyes. “Aunt always dotes on me …”

The thoughtless remark made the Eldest Madam’s heart tighten. The child was afraid that it was because of this incident that she and Yu Yi were annoyed: “Yanran, I naturally cherish you, but I can’t ignore right and wrong. The quarrel between the little sisters is not a big problem, but you shouldn’t have lost your temper. You didn’t have the slightest sense of measures. Luckily, you still knew how to restrain yourself and didn’t hit Yunyao. Otherwise, how would I explain this to the Old Madam and Little Sister Su Qing?”

Su Yuyi quickly answered from the side, “Yanran has always been childish, but she doesn’t have any ill intentions. If she says something soft, it will be over easily. Who knows..., it actually became like this in the end.”

Mu Yunyao’s face was as cold as ice, without a hint of warmth. This mother and daughter duo singing the same tune and wanted to use this little sister’s playfulness to reveal today’s matters. How could there be such a cheap thing in the world?

The pain in her leg seemed to have lessened a little, and the deranged Meng Yanran also calmed down a little. Then, she said in a deep voice, “I’ve gone too far, Cousin Yunyao. I hope you won’t take this to heart.” She would first get out of today’s matter and then settle the score slowly!

Mu Yunyao slightly tilted her head, her eyes filled with mockery. “What if I say that I’m very bothered? Cousin Yanran, how are you going to compensate me?”

The pain in her leg started to dissipate. With the help of the maid, Meng Yanran stood up, “Didn’t I apologize earlier? Cousin Yunyao, you should understand that someone should forgive others when she gets along with them. “

How can we forgive others and let them go?

Heh, it was fortunate that Meng Yanran was able to say that out loud. Then why did why was she so aggressive and not give in at all? Now that it was her turn to be in the wrong, she suddenly thought of letting them go?

Mu Yunyao blinked and spoke in a gentle voice, “Like I said, if you can’t give me justice here, then I’ll go find another place to argue.”

The inside of Lu Yi Pavilion suddenly quieted down. The Eldest Madam carefully examined Mu Yunyao as if she wanted to see through what she is hiding, which would give her the confidence to say such words.

Meng Yanran looked at Mu Yunyao with a disdainful gaze, as if she was looking at a joke, “Then you should slowly search for it. I’m not feeling well, so I’ll take my leave today. Aunt, Big Sister Yuyi, I’ll come to visit you two another day.” After giving orders directly to the maidservants beside her, she walked out slowly.

Mu Yunyao stood on the spot, with a straight and weak figure. Even after Meng Yanran left, she did not say a word.

The Eldest Madam looked at Lin Yuhan at the side and said, “You should get punished for the mistakes you made today, but you’re the person around the Old Madam. If you want to discipline her, the Old Madam naturally will do it. Go back and kowtow to her, then admit your wrongs to her. The Old Madam is the fairest, but she had her own rules and regulations about what to do.”

The big rock hanging over Lin Yuhan’s heart was finally relieved. She respectfully bowed to the Eldest Madam and said, “Yes, this servant understands.”

The Eldest Madam stares at Su Yuyi secretly. If it hadn’t been for the girl’s lack of tact, she wouldn’t have caused so many troubles today. Su Yuyi raised her eyes and looked at the Eldest Madam rather pitifully. Her eyes seemed to flow as if the delicate flowers were wet by the rain, especially pitiful.

Seeing her look, the Eldest Madam could not help but feel soft in her heart and sighed secretly. Suddenly, a country girl came and called cousins. Yesterday, the Su family’s face faintly lost. Her daughter has always been arrogant and proud, so it’s understandable that she wanted a little punishment for Mu Yunyao.

The only blame is that Mu Yunyao didn’t know the current affairs and even dared to say that she was looking for a place to reason. Oh, don’t look at what kind of lintel of the Su family has. Not to mention Cao Yunnian, even his family that relied on Lady Jin, did not dare reach out without difficulty.

After this thought passed, the Eldest Madam turned her head to look at Mu Yunyao. Her voice gently comforted her and said, “Yunyao, Aunt knows that you’ve suffered some grievances today, but you should also know that your identity is different now. Your every action represents the Su Family’s face. You can’t speak and do things without rules as before. Yanran is the direct descendent of the Meng family. Under her hand, even the young ladies of the fourth-fifth rank would have to suffer …”

Mu Yunyao had a shallow smile on her face as she quietly looked at the Eldest Madam. Her eyes were as clear and unwavering as usual, like a piece of top-grade jade.

The Eldest Madam, on the other hand, was choked by her gaze and the words in her stomach choked back. She had already said this, but this girl still did not admit defeat. Sure enough, people who came out from the countryside did not have any manners and uneducated, “Yunyao, I’ll call the doctor to take a look at the wounds on your face later, no? It’s just a slap. You can put on some ointment on it and have a rest for two or three days. It’s the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Old Madam has always liked to live in harmony with her family. You should know what to do, right?”

Mu Yunyao slightly nodded her head. “Eldest Aunt, don’t worry. After having learned so much today, I naturally understand what to do.”

The Eldest Madam looked at Mu Yunyao’s slightly lowered eyes. Hearing her gentle tone, she should have been remarkably satisfied, but somehow a trace of unease flashed through her heart.

Mu Yunyao curtsied. “If there’s nothing else, then Yunyao will take leave.”

~ RATHER DIE THAN GIVE UP ALL HOPE ~ 

The Eldest Madam was unprepared and surprised. She looked at Su Yuyi with fierce eyes: She naturally knew what her daughter was thinking and more or less guessed why she had invited Meng Yanran over. She initially thought nothing would happen, but she didn't expect that Meng Yanran would act in such a disorderly manner and made half of Mu Yunyao's face was about to be ruined. If the news of this kind of injury were to spread, what kind of reputation would the Su family have?

Su Yuyi secretly held the handkerchief in her hand, her heart full of bitterness. She naturally understood the meaning behind her mother's gaze. She also knew that she had to deal with Mu Yunyao slowly, so she did not lose her sense of dignity. But who would have thought that things would get out of control bit by bit? Now, it messed up completely, and she was really overwhelmed now.

Madam Meng suppressed the anger in her heart. Seeing that Su Qingwu had actually stopped after Mu Yunyao called him, she quickly glared at him, "Why aren't you leaving? Your cousin was frightened and has suffered a nightmare. Wait until she calms down, I will naturally send someone to send her back home."

Mu Yunyao spoke again, not giving the Eldest Madam any face. "Eldest Aunt, you've just come, so you're not clear about many things. At this time, Cousin Qingwu can't leave. He witnessed the whole story, and now he wants to help me administer justice."

"Yunyao, did you get a nightmare as well? What nonsense are you spouting? You have just arrived at the Su family, and my family is very welcoming of you. Your Eldest Sister even specially invited people to come over to speak with you and help you understand the Capital's local customs and traditions. How come you don't know how to be grateful, but you're talking nonsense?"

Mu Yunyao slightly straightened her body, her eyes flashing with determination. "Eldest Aunt, I know you want to keep things quiet. But this time, I put my words here. Meng Yanran overturned the teacup by herself but slandered me for hurting her. She then forged her injuries and took the opportunity to let people break my legs. It's no small matter! Today, after I have resolved this issue clearly, and it's all about giving me justice. If you still can't return my justice, I will find a place where I can speak my reason!" 

Madam Meng inwardly sucked in a breath of cold air when she heard this. She looked at Mu Yunyao with a bewildered and uncertain gaze. Madam Menge would never imagine that these words would actually come from the mouth of a country bumpkin girl. She carefully looked at Mu Yunyao's appearance, hoping to see the meaning behind her false bravado. However, no matter how she looked at it, her expression was exceptionally resolute, as if she would rather die than give up all hope."

"Then, according to your meaning, what do you want?" The Eldest Madam looked up at Mu Yunyao, and the gentleness in her eyes slowly disappeared to be replaced by boredom and contempt.

Mu Yunyao and Su Qing Chu came to the Capital and were related to Cao Yunnian. She just a little girl, as long as Mu Yunyao didn't open her mouth and didn't let them leave, the Cao family wouldn't be able to hear anything even if they died in the backyard. She didn't believe a small country bumpkin like her could overthrow the Su family! 

Mu Yunyao seemed not to notice the coldness in the Eldest Madam's words. Hearing this, she directly spoke, "First of all, Miss Meng said that her legs weren't scalded at all. Then, why did Doctor Lin help her fake it? Second, since Miss Meng isn't scalded at all, how should this account be calculated for the fact that she slapped me in the face and let someone punished me? Third, Mother and I are going to move out of the Su family's residence!"

The Eldest Madam furrowed her brows. Su Yuyi, who was standing beside her, also lowered her head slightly. She knew that she had done too carelessly in this matter.

"Yunyao, don't be angry. It took so much effort for you and your mother to return to the Su family. Why are you trying to move out just because of a small matter?" The Eldest Madam's thoughts quickly spun, and she gently comforted Mu Yunyao.

Mu Yunyao, however, did not buy it at all, "Eldest Aunt, I have to eat one mouthful at a time, and things have to be resolved one by one. Don't you need to explain to me first why Miss Meng isn't injured, but she wants to frame me?"

Meng Yanran wanted to roll on the ground in pain. She couldn't stand up anymore, so she sat on the floor while rubbing her legs. She didn't look like a lady of a big family. She just wanted to find some water o take a bath quickly and didn't care about anything else.

"What are you still wasting your breath? Hurry up and prepare water to take a bath. Are you really going to ruin my legs? Later on, I will tell my grandfather and grandmother to come and seek justice for me!"

Mu Yunyao spoke neither slowly nor slowly. Her tone was expressly firm and indifferent, "When you've made it clear, there will naturally someone will prepare water for you to bathe. But, if you can't explain it clearly, you only need to endure it yourself." 

"I said, I said. I only feel like taking the opportunity to punish you a little, so when I saw you brought the tea, I wanted to overturn the teacup and pour it on your body to make you suffer a little. But I didn't expect the unsteady teacup in your hand to fall onto me. At that time, I felt pain in my leg and thought it must be scalded, so I had to ask you to pay for it. 

Who would have thought that when Doctor Lin went inside to check the injury, her legs would be completely undamaged? I thought that I would lose face this time, but Doctor Lin actually helped me fake my wounds, and said that I was severely injured, and had even smeared some medicine on me …"

Su Yuyi's expression was ugly as she stared coldly at Meng Yanran. She had thought that her sister was very arrogant and had an idea, but she didn't expect it to be so useless. With just a few words, she was forced to reveal the truth by Mu Yunyao. But fortunately, she didn't say anything clearly to the end. Otherwise, she is afraid that Meng Yanran wanted to drag it onto herself.

The Eldest Madam was also very annoyed, but when she heard this, she could only reprimand her, "Yanran, you have gone too far."

At this moment, Meng Yanran was in so much pain that she ignored the Eldest Madam and only kept clamoring to take a bath. "I've told you the truth. Where's the water? Prepare some water quickly!"

Mu Yunyao secretly pursed her lips and turned to look at the Eldest Madam. “Eldest Aunt, now that Miss Meng is in so much pain, it’s best to quickly prepare water for her and let her wash the ointment off her leg. That’s right, don’t throw away the gauze used to bandage her. It might even be material evidence.”

At the side, Doctor Lin’sface suddenly turned pale. She raised her head to look at Mu Yunyao with eyes full of fear. “Miss Mu, I didn’t do anything to Miss Meng.” 

“You actually dared to help her make up for her injuries. Who knows if you planned this to use as an excuse to kill two birds with one stone. Not only did you harm me, but also Miss Meng?” Mu Yunyao sneered, “Doctor Lin, for someone like you who doesn’t have the heart of a doctor, how can Grandmother be at ease if you stay by her side? I think it’s better to drive you out of the residence as soon as possible. Just in case one day, you will be able to think of something else. After all, it is so easy for a doctor to harm people.” 

Lin Yuhan’s face turned white suddenly, and looking at Mu Yunyao’s ice-cold expression, she couldn’t help but kneel down. “Miss Mu, this servant is a medicine girl, so I know a bit more about medicine than an ordinary servant. In reality, I’m no different from a servant. How can she take the initiative to help Miss Meng forge the injury? It’s Miss Meng who ordered me to do this, but I can’t refuse. Please asked the Eldest Madam and Young Miss to more observe.”

Incurable Chapter 18 Part 2

When Mu Wan woke, the light was still on.

By the sink, Liu Qianxiu was washing his face. He must have sensed her stirring. With both hands braced on the counter, he lifted his gaze.

His eyes looked as if they’d been rinsed clean too—dark, clear.

Once he confirmed she was awake, he grabbed a towel, stepped over, and asked, “Did I wake you?”

“No.” After a night of fever, Mu Wan felt weak but much better. The burning heat was gone. She sat up slowly.

Liu Qianxiu finished wiping his face, then raised his hand and placed his palm against her forehead.

His palm was cool, damp with leftover water. Mu Wan’s heart jumped. She tilted her face up at him. He looked down at her, too, confirming the result.

“The fever’s gone,” Liu Qianxiu said, pulling his hand back.

But she was still foggy from being sick. Mu Wan stared at him, dazed. The laptop on the desk was still lit. Beside it were two glass cups—one holding the cotton candy, one with half a cup of water left, clearly something he’d been drinking.

Mu Wan felt warm again, not from fever this time.

Like a small wild thing buried in snow, she looked at Liu Qianxiu with bright eyes and asked, “You didn’t leave last night?”

Liu Qianxiu, in the middle of shutting down the laptop, turned his head to look at her. His expression was calm.

Mu Wan snapped back to herself.

Leave where? This was his room.

“I just got back,” Liu Qianxiu said lightly.

“And I slept in your bed again.” Her voice was thin with lingering weakness, crisp like paper. Mu Wan slid off the bed and looked at him. “We didn’t eat last night, and I still made you bring me back and take care of me. Let’s eat today. That same restaurant.”

The sincerity in her words was obvious. She lifted her face to Liu Qianxiu. After a night of fever, the redness was gone, leaving her pale and translucent, with only a small touch of red on her lips. Even like that, she still didn’t lose her vividness.

Liu Qianxiu picked up the cotton candy and handed it to her. As he collected the cups, he said evenly, “No need.”

Holding the cotton candy, Mu Wan smiled. Sweetness fizzed from tongue to chest. She looked at him and asked, “You don’t want to eat? Then what do you want?”

Liu Qianxiu watched her. Her smile hooked at her lips, light flickering in her eyes. The question sounded innocent—yet not entirely innocent.

“I’m leaving,” Liu Qianxiu said after a brief pause. “I’ll leave Wen City at noon today.”

The light in Mu Wan’s eyes slowly dimmed. She stopped smiling.

The research conference wasn’t only held in one city. After leaving Wen City on Wednesday morning, Liu Qianxiu would go to Jingcheng to continue. The conference would finish Friday morning, and only then would he return to Xiacheng.

It really was a week-long conference, but it wasn’t a full week in Wen City.

The balcony door was cracked open; damp air drifted in. Mu Wan’s nose felt blocked again. With a faint nasal tone, she asked, “What time are you leaving? I’ll come see you off.”

Liu Qianxiu’s lips pressed together. Looking at her still-weak color, he said, “We’ll see each other soon.”

“This is faster,” Mu Wan insisted.

His gaze paused.

Mu Wan lifted her head, looking into his clean, handsome face. On a gray day, even the lamplight didn’t fully sharpen his features—his brows and eyes were deep and refined in shadow.

She smiled, eyes bright.

“The later we separate,” she said softly, “the sooner we’ll meet again.”

It was a kind of “soon” only she could calculate. If they separated in the morning, there were still three and a half days until the next meeting. If they separated at noon, there were only three.

Whether Liu Qianxiu could follow her logic, she didn’t know.

But after she said it, she saw his throat move slightly.

And he answered in a low voice.

“Okay.”

The next day, Mu Qing’s scenes were at Wen City Central Hospital. The crew arrived in force and set up in front of the inpatient building. It had rained in the morning, but by late morning it stopped. The clouds thinned, and the sky looked like it might clear.

Mu Qing sat in the lounge chair the crew had prepared. She hadn’t memorized her lines for the earlier scene, so she had to reshoot. She was reading the script now, her mother Yan Mei’s voice still in her ear on the phone.

“Don’t just focus on filming and neglect Shen Cheng. I heard he sent you flowers yesterday?”

“Mm.” Mu Qing sipped yogurt through a straw and rolled her neck. She’d trained in dance. Her body was beautiful, long and delicate, even half-reclined in a chair.

Yan Mei sounded satisfied and asked a few more things. Nearby, a chubby supporting actress was on a phone call. Mu Qing seemed to remember something and asked, “Mom… did Wu Ma ever mention whether Mu Wan has a boyfriend?”

At that name, the line went quiet for three seconds. Then Yan Mei’s voice came back, smoother but edged.

“Whatever she’s doing has nothing to do with our Mu family.”

Yan Mei had said it countless times.

Mu Qing thought of the man she’d seen in the elevator yesterday—an aura of wealth that couldn’t be ignored. Through calm brows and eyes, across impossible distance, he’d felt like someone from the Ninth Heaven: noble, untouchable.

“Big families care about background,” Yan Mei said, tone returning to normal. “With her conditions, any boyfriend she finds will never compare to Shen Cheng.”

The yogurt’s sourness faded. Mu Qing murmured. She understood, hung up, handed the bottle to her assistant, and stood to film.

Before stepping into the scene, she looked past the crowd toward the surgical building.

His presence was too distinctive to miss, even from far away. And beside him stood Mu Wan.

Mu Qing stood there watching, the corners of her eyes lifting.

The man wore a white coat, making him look even taller and straighter, his aura clean and otherworldly.

Oh.

So he was just a doctor.

Mu Wan found a moment between takes to see Liu Qianxiu off. Once he left, she nodded politely to the other doctors and walked back with both hands in her pockets.

As she approached, she sensed Mu Qing’s gaze.

Mu Wan lifted her eyes briefly. Their eyes met.

Mu Wan’s expression stayed calm.

Then she looked away.

After resting, Mu Qing’s lines seemed easier to memorize. She told her assistant, “I’m ready.”

The whole crew had been waiting for her. The moment she said it, the director looked as if he’d been saved. They started filming immediately.

Mu Wan’s fever stayed down, but fevers tend to return. She took medicine for a few more days, filming in a fog. When she finally recovered, her scenes were done.

Friday afternoon, Mu Wan boarded the high-speed rail back to Xiacheng.

Time was strange. During filming, days flew by. On the train, minutes crawled.

Mu Wan stayed awake the whole ride, counting stations, waiting. When she finally arrived at Xiacheng Station, she got off and took a cab home first.

By mid-July, the true suffocating heat of the hottest season arrived.

In the taxi, AC blowing, Mu Wan leaned back and texted Liu Qianxiu.

[Mu Wan]: Liu Qianxiu, where are you?

He seemed busy. He didn’t reply until Mu Wan got home.

[Liu Daochang]: At the hospital.
[Liu Daochang]: You’re back?

Two messages. Mu Wan smiled and tapped out a reply.

[Mu Wan]: Not yet. I’ll be back tomorrow morning. I’m going to your place to see the cats.

As she entered her building and unlocked her door, her phone buzzed again.

[Liu Daochang]: Okay.

Mu Wan put the phone away and went inside.

A week without being home left a faint, damp smell. Mu Wan dropped her luggage, opened the windows, then stripped and went to shower.

Afterward, she did light makeup and went into her closet to choose a ginger-yellow slip dress Lin Wei had bought for her when they’d gone shopping. The dress was faux silk, fitted through the torso. Slim waist, lifted hips, thin shoulders, long legs—everything on display.

Mu Wan looked best in slip dresses. Her bone structure was exquisite—shoulders narrow, collarbones straight. Thick black hair fell in loose waves down her back, curls bouncing as she walked, flashing a strip of pale skin and the sharp beauty of her shoulder blades.

A slip dress needed heels. Mu Wan picked a pair. Her narrow foot slid in, and she frowned.

She pulled her foot back out. A red mark had already been rubbed onto the top of her foot.

She set that pair aside and chose another.

By the time she finished, it was four in the afternoon. Mu Wan went out and hailed a cab.

“Driver, Toller Hospital.”

At the hospital, she went straight to Liu Qianxiu’s office.

The corridor was long, and patients and nurses were moving through it. Mu Wan stood at his door. The height of her heels brought her just high enough to see through the small square window.

A few days apart, and he looked unchanged.

But looking at him now, Mu Wan felt that first, sharp sense of wonder again.

White coat. Head slightly lowered—his profile like a distant mountain behind cool mist.

Mu Wan tilted her head and smiled. In the AC-cooled corridor, her cheeks warmed anyway. She raised her hand and knocked.

Someone inside answered.

Mu Wan opened the door and walked in, settling herself in the chair across from his desk.

“Doctor,” she said, “I’m injured.”

His pen paused.

Liu Qianxiu looked up. The woman across from him had both elbows on the desk, red lips curved, eyes bright.

He set the pen down and gave her a measured look. His voice was low.

“Where?”

She was clearly prepared.

Her legs shifted. Under the ginger-yellow dress, her calves were long and smooth. She crossed her right leg over her left, slipped off her heel, and revealed her pale foot.

Across the narrow top of it was a faint red mark.

Liu Qianxiu’s gaze settled there. He examined it with calm seriousness.

Mu Wan, impatient, asked with innocent eyes, “Doctor, is it bad?”

Liu Qianxiu lifted his eyes and looked at her once, flat and calm.

“Very bad,” he said. “If you’d come one step later, it would’ve healed.”

Mu Wan laughed out loud.

She leaned forward, arms spread on his desk, pressing down on the papers he’d been reading.

“Liu Qianxiu,” she said, “I’m back.”

He watched her quietly. After a moment, he stood and walked to the exam bed in the office. He picked up metal forceps, clamped a red cotton ball, and looked at her.

“Come here.”

Mu Wan didn’t move. Her heart lifted slightly, her throat tight. “Didn’t you say it’ll heal soon?”

“Mm.” Liu Qianxiu glanced at her, then said evenly, “Before it heals, it needs to be treated. Otherwise, it’ll hurt.”

Incurable Chapter 18 Part 1

Mu Wan’s fever had scrambled her thoughts. She saw Liu Qianxiu’s lips curve, just a shallow arc, but it felt like a small boat drifting onto her lonely heart.

She tried to see it more clearly, eyes widening.

Two pills were offered to her. She bit down without thinking. Her tongue brushed the tablets… and brushed the palm holding them too, dry and cool.

Mu Wan was burning up. Her tongue was scorching. It grazed his palm, soft and wet. When she pulled back, the air shifted, and the spot she’d licked turned cold.

Liu Qianxiu lowered his lashes, withdrew his hand, and offered the bottle opening. Like a kitten, she lowered her head and drank two quick mouthfuls.

The pills still hadn’t gone down. Mu Wan’s small face scrunched into a knot. She hugged the bottle with one hand and tipped her head back, gulping twice more.

Even after that, her brow stayed furrowed. Fine sweat beaded at her hairline, not sure if it was heat or bitterness.

“Have some sugar,” Liu Qianxiu said, watching her knitted brows.

“Not bitter.” A chill sweat broke over her body. She forced her face to relax, pulled the cotton-candy bouquet into her arms, and insisted, “Really not bitter.”

Her nasal tone was heavier now. Clutching the cotton candy, her energy clearly sagged. Outside, someone said, “It’s raining again,” and the slow-moving crowd quickened. Under the streetlights, rain threads wove tighter and tighter.

“Let’s go back,” Liu Qianxiu said.

“We haven’t eaten,” Mu Wan protested.

“Are you hungry?” Liu Qianxiu asked.

Mu Wan thought, then shook her head. She had no appetite during the fever.

“Come on.” Liu Qianxiu guided her out and hailed a cab.

The cab was cold. Mu Wan was burning. She leaned against the window and traced a finger along raindrops as they gathered, merged, then slid down. The droplets left long trails of water as the commercial street’s lights flickered outside.

Drowsy, Mu Wan heard Liu Qianxiu give the driver an address. She closed her eyes.

The commercial street was close to Wen City Hotel. A few minutes later, the cab stopped at the entrance. The meter printed a receipt with a harsh, tearing sound.

“Your girlfriend doesn’t feel well, huh? Looks like she fell asleep.” The driver ripped the receipt free and handed it to Liu Qianxiu.

Liu Qianxiu glanced at Mu Wan, eyes closed, leaning against the door. He took the receipt and explained evenly.

“She has a fever.”

He paid, thanked the driver, got out, and then walked around to Mu Wan’s side. He lifted his hand and tapped the window lightly.

Mu Wan hadn’t fallen fully asleep. She opened her eyes and looked out.

Liu Qianxiu stood by the car, calm, looking down at her. Once she was awake, he opened the door. Mu Wan pitched forward with the motion and was steadied by his hand.

His palm was large against her thin shoulder. Through the cotton T-shirt, temperature met temperature, cool and hot colliding.

“We’re here,” Liu Qianxiu said, straightening her.

“Okay.” Mu Wan coughed and stepped out, hugging her cotton-candy bouquet.

The fever medicine had started to work. Once inside the lobby, Mu Wan’s pace slowed noticeably. When the elevator arrived, Liu Qianxiu stepped in, and Mu Wan followed.

The elevator was huge and empty except for them. Liu Qianxiu pressed his floor and turned as if to ask hers—

Before he could, his left shoulder sank slightly.

Liu Qianxiu’s gaze shifted.

Mu Wan couldn’t hold herself up anymore. She stood straight, cotton candy in her arms, but her head tipped over and rested against his shoulder. Eyes closed, lips pressed tight, long lashes casting a soft shadow.

Liu Qianxiu looked away and pressed the button again. The doors hadn’t closed when footsteps approached, and the doors reopened. Four or five people entered.

Leading them was a tall, slender, short-haired woman speaking on the phone. As she stepped in, she swept her eyes over the elevator, pausing on Liu Qianxiu and Mu Wan, then settling on the cotton-candy “bouquet” in Mu Wan’s arms.

A flicker of emotion crossed her eyes. Her long, narrow gaze lifted; the small tear mole at the corner of her eye rose with it. The others filed in, pressed their floors, and the doors shut—closing her voice into the tight space.

“…Don’t send flowers to the set anymore. It disrupts filming, people complain. No, it’s not that I don’t like them…”

Her voice was soft, intimate. As she spoke, her eyes drifted toward Mu Wan. Mu Wan kept her eyes closed, expression unchanged, as if she hadn’t heard a thing.

Ding.

Fifteen.

The doors opened. Liu Qianxiu turned his head and called softly, “Mu Wan.”

She didn’t stir. Her breathing was steady, deep. She was fully asleep.

“Sorry,” he said quietly as the elevator chimed its closing warning. He slipped an arm around Mu Wan’s waist, lifted—

And carried her bridal-style out of the elevator without hesitation.

In the small elevator, the cotton candy’s sweetness seemed to linger. Someone let out a soft, impressed “Wow.”

Mu Qing’s eyes flicked. Her young assistant’s dreamy expression vanished instantly; she lowered her head.

Liu Qianxiu carried Mu Wan to his room. He asked a staff member in the hallway to open the door with a card. Once inside, he placed Mu Wan on the bed.

He switched on the bedside lamp. Light pooled over her.

Fever was miserable. Even asleep, Mu Wan’s brows were knit, breath heavy but even, drawing in cool air and exhaling burning heat.

Liu Qianxiu stood by the bed and pressed a hand to her forehead.

Still hot.

But she’d taken medicine. After sleeping, she would be better.

Outside, the rain grew heavier, tapping sharply against the glass.

Liu Qianxiu withdrew his hand and let his gaze settle on the cotton-candy bouquet still clutched in her arms.

A huge bundle, three layers—white, blue, red—perfect and full, as if it had just been made. Mu Wan’d said it was the sweetest “flowers” she’d ever received, yet even after swallowing bitter medicine, she hadn’t taken a single bite.

His lashes trembled. He lifted the cotton candy and set it upright in the mouth of the glass cup she’d used last time.

Then he went to the desk. He didn’t open the laptop. He took out a book instead.

Only two lights glowed in the room now—one by the bed, one by the desk. Between those circles of light stood a cup holding cotton candy like a ridiculous centerpiece.

Silence spread.

Liu Qianxiu read, face calm, eyes light. The rain outside gradually faded from awareness. Only the deep, steady sound of breathing remained, like someone exhaling damp warmth straight onto his heart.

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 265

~ YUNYAO, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? ~ 

“Miss Meng!” Doctor Lin forcefully held down Meng Yanran, but she couldn’t hold her down. Meng Yanran stood up straight and desperately rubbed her legs. “Hurry up and wipe away those medicine herbs!”

It was unknown when Mu Yunyao had stood up and walked over to Meng Yanran’s side slowly. She sneered at Doctor Lin, “Why aren’t you finding someone to hold Miss Meng down? There are injuries on her leg, so she can’t move it recklessly. Can you bear the consequences?” 

Doctor Lin’s hair and heart tightened, and she quickly looked at the two ruthless old maidservants on one side: “Come here and help me. Don’t let Miss Meng move.”

Mu Yunyao raises her hand and gently wipes the cold sweat on her forehead. Her eyes are coldly watching Meng Yanran, who is more and more ferocious. In order to cope with the possible crisis in the Su family, she secretly makes a lot of preparations. She prepared a lot of medicinal powder, but she did not expect that the first time she used it wasn’t on the Su family, but Meng Yanran.

She had always been good at reading people’s expressions. When Meng Yanran had asked her to make tea, she had noticed that something was wrong. When she walked up to her with the cup of tea, her eyes were even more nervous, so she did something in the water.

Fire Grass didn’t cause much harm to the body, but it would cause a lot of pain when it comes into contact with the skin. Moreover, Fire Grass has a characteristic that it can’t meet honeysuckle, which is heat-clearing and detoxification. Once the two collide, it must be drug resistance. The pain more and more doubled. It doesn’t work to wash it only with water, and she must use vinegar to soak it in. Only then could the medicinal properties of the medicine be dispelled.

She didn’t expect that things would turn out as she had expected. After Doctor Lin came, she not only didn’t help her prove her innocence, but she instead helped Meng Yanran to frame her and let the person who was holding the plank trying to destroy her secretly.

She had long since understood the Su family’s authentic appearance. The hatred within her went deep into the marrow of her bones, to the point that it couldn’t deepen any further. Instead, a strong sense of doubt arose within her.

Why did the Su family want to attack her repeatedly, and they were so ruthless that they didn’t leave the slightest affection? Even if her background wasn’t too good, her body still held the Su family’s bloodline within it. Why were they so vicious?

Meng Yanran was pinned to the chair, trying to stand up. However, her strength couldn’t compare to the two maidservants, so she could only be pressed down. The more she struggled, the more apparent the pain became.

Mu Yunyao coldly watched from the side, “Miss Meng, you should calm down for a bit. Didn’t you say that the injury on your leg was quite serious? Now, with such a fierce struggle, aren’t you afraid that the wound on your leg will immediately rot?”

Meng Yanran had already lost her reason due to the pain. She turned her head and stared at Doctor Lin, “Doctor Lin, what medicine did you give me?”

Initially, the pain had already lessened. But just now, the pain suddenly doubled and was even more unbearable than before. It was as if someone was digging a hole in her heart and bones. There must be a problem with the medicine she gave to her?

At this moment, a bead of sweat had also appeared on Doctor Lin’s forehead. “Miss Meng, the medicine herbs I’ve given you are all heat-clearing and soothing. Generally, the prescriptions for scalding are like this...”

Meng Yanran was about to go crazy with pain, “Let go of me! I want to take a bath! My legs are killing me!”

Mu Yunyao slightly raised the corner of her lips. With a bright smile on her pale face, she said, “Miss Meng is probably in so much pain that she’s confused. Doctor Lin is someone close to Grandmother. I heard that she is very skillful in medicine, so it’s absolutely impossible to make mistakes in medication!”

Usually, when she heard those words, Meng Yanran would agree, but now that she had lost her rationality due to the pain, she felt something was wrong no matter how she listened. Suddenly, she raised her head and looked at Doctor Lin with hatred, “There’s something wrong with the medicine you gave me!”

That must be the case, previously she thought that Doctor Lin had been kind to help her hide her injuries, but now that she thought about it, it couldn’t be that Lin Yuhan was secretly trying to harm her, so she deliberately used medicine to ruin her legs. Not only she could punish Mu Yunyao, but she also takes the opportunity to hurt her!

Mu Yunyao pretended to be surprised, “Miss Meng, you can’t speak nonsense. You initially got scalded, and the herbs used after scalding are basically the same. You could easily find an ordinary doctor to concoct them. How could Doctor Lin do anything to you in this regard?” Meng Yanran couldn’t care less anymore. She was afraid that Lin Yuhan’s plan had worked and had actually destroyed her own leg, so she directly told her the truth, “What scalding and unscathed? My leg initially is not hurt at all. Lin Yuhan said that I’m seriously injured and put some medicine on my leg then bandage them. It must be that she has a sinister heart in her heart! Let go of me. I want to take a bath. Prepare some water quickly. I want to take a bath!”

Su Yuyi has been shocked by the situation in front of her. She didn’t expect that. She just wanted to take the opportunity to punish Mu Yunyao, but she had caused so many problems.

The noise here is too great, and the movement is too big to hide. Soon, the Eldest Madam brought people over, “Isn’t small Lu Yi Pavillion the quietest place usually? Why is it so noisy today that made people uneasy?”

Mu Yunyao sneered in her heart: It is quiet on ordinary days, but today it is noisy. Wasn’t it just hinting that it’s like this after she comes? Inside and outside of the story, in other words, she treated him as a troublemaker. She was too dumb in her previous life. She couldn’t even hear the apparent sarcasm in her speak.

Madam Meng walked in and saw Meng Yanran, who being pressed on the chair by the two maidservants. Her expression suddenly changed, “You two are so brave. How dare you two be so rude to Miss Meng? Hurry up and let her go!”

Su Yuyi hurriedly came forward to explain to Madam Meng, but the two Maidservants were extremely afraid of the Eldest Madam’s aura, so after hearing her words, they quickly moved their hands away.

Meng Yanran, who was about to go crazy from the pain, stood up and tore off her dress, “It hurts. Where’s the water? Get some water! I want to bathe!”

Meng Yanran, who is already crazy about pain, has no other scruples. She directly stands up and tears off her dress: “it hurts so much. Where’s the water? Get the water quickly. I want to take a bath!”

“Yanran!” Madam Meng let out a surprised cry, then looked towards Su Qingwu. “You can leave first!”

This Meng Yanran is the Eldest Miss of the Meng family. If Su Qingwu saw her disheveled appearance today, the Meng family wouldn’t have let her go without difficulty. In fact, they might have even tried to force Su Qingwu to marry Meng Yanran. Although she usually doted on this niece of hers, it is absolutely impossible for such a person to be her daughter-in-law.

Mu Yunyao suddenly spoke up, “What are you going to do? Cousin is here to become a witness for me. If you don’t clarify the matter clearly, no one can leave this place easily!”

Madam Meng abruptly turned her head, her gaze like two sharp blades slashing at Mu Yunyao. “Yunyao, what are you doing?”

Mu Yunyao gently pushed the hair that was scattered around the side of her face behind her ear, revealing half of her red, swollen, and slightly purple face. Her own skin was very tender, and after being slapped by Meng Yanran, making this half of her face almost impossible to see. Compared with the beautiful face on the other side that is intact, it looks particularly terrifying.

~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.
