Incurable Chapter 20 Part 1

The veins on her wrists were held by the cold and dry palms. The arteries connected to the heart, so Liu Qianxiu also grasped Mu Wan’s heartbeat. When he took it, her heart did not move. But when he let it go, her heart moved again. It means that this heart belongs to him.

Mu Wan looked at him quietly and thought of what he had just said. There was a crackling noise outside the window. It was raining, and her heart began to clamor.

“I’m not afraid it will hurt my hand.” Mu Wan said, “You are a doctor and can heal my injuries later.”

Liu Qianxiu looked up at her. She looked at him with determination in her beautiful eyes. Liu Qianxiu’s eyelids moved and released her wrist. He turned on the faucet, and the sound of the water overwhelmed the sound of rain outside the window. The rain made the air a little more humid. Under the light, it was a bit foggy and warm.

Mu Wan did not continue to wash the dishes. She leaned against the sink with a strong sense of presence. However, she was not abrupt, as if she had always been in his life.

Liu Qianxiu washed the bowl slowly.

After washing the dishes, he turned off the faucet, and the kitchen became quiet again, but the rain outside the window gradually became louder. Mu Wan looked out the window and said to Liu Qianxiu, “The rain is heavy. Can I wait until the rain stops before I get back home?”

After wiping his hands with a paper towel, Liu Qianxiu responded, “Alright.” Then, the two of them went out of the kitchen together.

Liu Qianxiu’s life is very regular. After eating and cleaning the kitchen, he will return to the living room to read a book or sit quietly. He opened a book, and Mu Wan also took one. This time, the title’s book was The Book of Changes.

But in just three minutes, Mu Wan looked away from the book.

This book is even more boring than The Book of Ethics.

Looking up at Liu Qianxiu, the table lamp sets off his outline more quietly. He looked down, and his eyelashes cast a half-circle of thin shadow on his lower eyelid. His dark eyes were full of concentration.

Mu Wan didn’t bother him, and she looked down at the book again. But within two seconds, she lifted her head up again this time. She looked at Liu Qianxiu first, then looked out the window, and finally at Zhou Yi, who walked towards her.

This Zhouyi is much more interesting than The Book of Changes she read. Mu Wan opened her eyes slightly, tilted her head, and her hands were hidden under the desk, two small gestures towards Zhou Yi.

“Come here.” Mu Wan used lip language to call Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi seemed to understand her intention. In its light golden eyes, the dark pupils shrank as it gradually approached Mu Wan, and it turned into a vertical pupil when Zhou Yi walked to Mu Wan’s side. Mu Wan raised her hand to touch it, but Zhou Yi jumped on her cross-legged lap and lay down.

“Ah.” Mu Wan said in surprise when the soft and furry body jumped onto her lap.

When she finished shouting, she looked up at Liu Qianxiu. The latter had been disturbed by her and looked up at her, too. Mu Wan turned her body back and pointed Zhou Yi on her leg at Liu Qianxiu with surprise in her eyes.

“Liu Qianxiu. Zhou Yi likes me.”

Zhou Yi is not close to people. He will only jump on him when it is boring. Liu Qianxiu put down the book in his hand, looked at Zhou Yi, who was lying on Mu Wan’s lap, and said, “Yeah.”

Mu Wan’s skin was white, while Zhou Yi’s fur was black. The black and white looked distinct, but there was a kind of harmony in it.

Since before eating, Zhou Yi had taken the initiative to let her touch its body, and now it took the lead to jump into her legs. Mu Wan’s happiness was like little wave after little spray.

Zhou Yi is adapting to and likes her, so Liu Qianxiu will be the same as Zhou Yi.

Mu Wan’s heart is in full bloom.

She laughed and reached out to touch Zhou Yi. Liu Qianxiu was also looking at it. When Mu Wan saw that he was no longer reading, she asked: “You don’t have to go to work tomorrow, do you? Can I come in the afternoon?”

After speaking, she felt she needed a solid reason to support her request. Then, Mu Wan thought about three small ones and used them as her reason.

“I haven’t seen them for a long time, so I want to accompany them more.” Mu Wan said.

His gaze shifted from Zhou Yi to Mu Wan’s face. Her body was straight, her slender arms connected to her thin shoulders, and her collarbone was more delicate and distinct in the shadow of the light. Like a fairy, she hid under the light, invading little by little.

“I have an appointment with a friend to play basketball together tomorrow afternoon.” Liu Qianxiu said.

Although it was not a direct refusal, it was considered polite. When Mu Wan heard that, the light in her eyes dimmed. She looked down at Zhou Yi, touched its head, and said, “Oh, alright then...”

“Send me a text before you come.” Liu Qianxiu added, “I’m not sure when it will be finished.”

Mu Wan looked up again.

Because of this sentence, she seemed to be happy a lot. The light in her eyes became brighter, the corners of her lips curled up, and she smiled as she watched him. The sound mixed with the sound of rain also became sweeter.

“Liu Qianxiu, you know how to play basketball!”

That’s the question now.

The car drove away from the front of the villa and quickly went on the coastal road. At 6 o’clock in the afternoon, the sky was overcast with clouds, and the sun seemed to be covered with a layer of cloth; it was so gloomy. Mu Wan was sitting in the passenger seat, holding the plum that Xu Xingkong had just handed by her in her hand. The fruit was icy, the skin was rosy, and it looked sweet.

Mu Wan thought of Xu Xingkong again. The woman gave people a feeling of extra comfort, like a breeze blowing by, with a faint lavender fragrance. She glanced at Liu Qianxiu and said, “Your friends are so nice.”

Although she didn’t see Liu Qianxiu’s classmates, she could tell that his classmate was a very good person by looking at Xu XingKong. Xu Xingkong is gentle, and the smile in the corner of her eyes when she mentions her husband can’t hide. He can make such a woman happy and make friends with Liu Qianxiu, who must be a very good person.

“Yeah.” Liu Qianxiu faintly replied while looking ahead. Mu Wan looked at him and added, “I want them to be my friends too.”

As soon as the voice fell, Liu Qianxiu looked at her. Mu Wan tilted her head to look at him. The red fruit was on his lips. Seeing his line of sight turn to come over, Mu Wan made a movement, laughed, and asked, “Can’t I?”

With his eyes falling flatly from her eyes to her lips, Liu Qianxiu looked at the plum she was holding and said, “Don’t eat this on an empty stomach.”

Her teeth knocked gently on the plum, and its thin skin was torn apart by her. The sweetness of the plum oozes on the tip of her tongue and spreads all over her body.

Put down the plum, Mu Wan’s slender fingers wrapped the red fruit and answered with a small voice.

“Oh, I see.”

When she returned from the Southern District to Liu Qianxiu’s house, it was already past seven. Mu Wan took the cat cage to the cat room and released the three small ones while Liu Qianxiu entered the kitchen to prepare dinner.

After a few days, the three kittens can stand up. A small body with short limbs and a furry ball, staggering and arching towards her hand.

Mu Wan felt touched by it, and her heart was soft when she listened to the baby cat’s cry.

After feeding and caring for the three little ones, Mu Wan got up and walked to the kitchen. Before she left the cat room, it was dark, and she looked closer. Then she saw Zhou Yi squatting at the door, with light golden eyes staring at her.

Zhou Yi is not a sticky cat because she hasn’t seen it stick to other people. It was initially a dark ball and also liked hide-and-seek. Zhou Yi walked around leisurely when she and Liu Qianxiu had dinner together.

Now, it squatted at the door and stared at her. Mu Wan looked at it, not knowing what it wanted to do.

Mu Wan bent her knees and squatted down. Looking at Zhou Yi for a while, she hesitated and stretched out her hand. When she put her hand on the top of Zhou Yi’s head, it did not escape. Mu Wan dropped her palm while Zhou Yi squinted and arched its furry head into her hand.

“Meow~” Zhou Yi called out.

Mu Wan’s eyes moved, acting like a baby at her.

What does that mean? It shows that Zhou Yi has become accustomed to her existence and regards it as a family member.

Mu Wan felt like a flower bloomed in her heart. She got up, walked to the kitchen, and said to Liu Qianxiu, “Liu Qianxiu, Zhou Yi just acted like a baby with me!”

The kitchen light was warm, and Liu Qianxiu stood in front of the dining table full of what she had ordered tonight. Liu Qianxiu raised his head to look at her. There were lights outside the window, and the corner of his lips curled slightly and said, “It’s time to eat.”

Mu Wan hopes she will spend the rest of her life like this.

After the two had eaten, Liu Qianxiu got up and prepared to tidy the table. Next to him, Mu Wan raised her hand and said to Liu Qian, “I’ll wash the dishes.”

After she came, Liu Qianxiu ate and washed the dishes, but she had never done anything except tease a cat. It’s not that she didn’t want to help. She volunteered to mention it the first time she ate at his house, but it was rejected by Liu Qianxiu. He has rules for doing things and doesn’t like being broken by others.

After Mu Wan finished speaking, she was afraid of being rejected again. She thought for a while and said: “But I need to do something...”

“Okay.” Liu Qianxiu agreed.

Mu Wan looked up at him. Liu Qianxiu put away the dishes, put them in the sink, and hurriedly followed him.

The furnishings in the living room of Liu Qianxiu’s house look like antiques, but the decoration in the kitchen is much more modern. But it’s only some kitchen appliances and kitchen utensils that have this feeling. The dishes in his house also have the beauty of antiquities.

Liu Qianxiu’s cooking tastes light, and the bowls are easy to wash. Mu Wan took a crystal clear white porcelain bowl without wearing gloves. The thin bowl was light and beautiful. Mu Wan turned on the faucet and washed it carefully.

Before washing the dishes, she tied up her curled-up and fluffy hair. It made her face look as white as porcelain, small and delicate.

The night sky outside the window was dark and heavy, with no starlight. Inside the window, the light was soft. Mu Wan stood by the sink in a long dress, her eyelids closed, and her expression was calm.

She did not seem to wash the dishes for the first time, but she did like it was the first time. Her slender fingers pressed the bowl inside and rubbed it around the edge of the bowl carefully and thoroughly.

The sound of water is rustling, like water on a high mountain, exceptionally peaceful and quiet.

Liu Qianxiu thought of what Huaijing said.

While Mu Wan was washing the dishes, Liu Qianxiu stood by her side, making her do it a little nervous. She raised her eyes to look at him, holding a small bowl in her hand, her eyes sparkling.

“Are you afraid that I would drop the bowl? Is it an antique?”

Liu Qianxiu raised his eyes to look at her. He hasn’t spoken yet and has only heard a “pop” sound. The bowl in Mu Wan’s hand fell into the sink and broke.

White Porcelain of the Ru Kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty.

“Ah...!” Mu Wan’s heart trembled for what she feared had come. Looking at the debris of the bowl, she stretched out her hand to get it. Before touching the fragments, Mu Wan’s wrist was held.

The slender fingers did not force her knuckles when holding her hand.

Mu Wan looked up at Liu Qianxiu, who pulled her hand out of the sink and reached out to turn off the faucet. He wiped Mu Wan’s hands dry with the towel paper, his eyebrows drooping slightly. There was no sound of water in the kitchen, and the man’s voice was so deep and clear.

“If it is broken, it is broken. It’s not a valuable thing. Don’t hurt your hand.”

The author has something to say: 

Liu Daochang: There are many bowls, but there is only one Mu Wan.

~ I WANT TO FIGHT BACK ~ 

Mu Yunyao replied, “Your Majesty, she hit me, but my Eldest Aunt favored her and let her go without any punishment. I was unwilling in my heart, so I wanted to fight back.”

Hearing this, Xu Li felt his legs go soft and almost couldn’t stand up. This little ancestor thought that the Emperor was too good-natured. How dare she say anything? Moreover, who was that Miss Meng? The granddaughter of the Grand Preceptor of the Imperial Court and Qingning princess, also the niece of the Imperial Concubine De in the Palace. Is she that someone who can let you fight back?

As expected, the Emperor frowned, and his eyes narrowed involuntarily. If he were an ordinary person, he would have already been unhappy in his heart. But Mu Yunyao’s words just now were considerably interesting, and with the Imperial Older Sister’s godlike face, it made him more patient. “Do you know who she is?”

Mu Yunyao nodded. “I know. Before I came to the Palace, Eldest Aunt had already told me that the Meng family’s status was extraordinary and that Miss Meng was someone I absolutely cannot offend.”

“Since you know about this, why did you still dare to fight back?”

“Dare!” Mu Yunyao nodded without hesitation. “No matter who she is, she’ll be punished if she does something wrong. I once heard from the teacher in the book that if the Emperor did wrong, he would have to hand down a decree for his crimes. Even if the officials did wrong, they also would have to get rid of their Hua Ling and ask for justice for their wrongdoings. The common people have to go to court to be tried and punished for doing wrong. She intentionally framed and beat me up, so I could fight her back. This approach is the best way to deal with it.”

“Shouldn’t the best course of action be for me to punish her?”

Mu Yunyao shook her head. “Your majesty, your identity is precious, don’t mention personally ordering a person to be punished, as long as you reveal the slightest bit of dissatisfaction towards a person, that person’s entire life might be affected. Miss Meng is my Eldest Aunt’s niece. If she beats me, I’ll fight her back. Even if the matter is over, I’m not angry. If you had been the one to make the decision, Miss Meng would have been the one to ruin it. That’s not what I intended to do.”

The Emperor’s gaze slightly moved, and a trace of unfathomable emotion could be seen within it. “Then if I agree to your words, do you dare to come directly and beat someone up?”

“Why would I not dare? With your permission, Your Majesty, I am only following the imperial edict to beat someone up. I am not afraid of anything.” Mu Yunyao’s gaze was clear and bright. Even though her face was injured, her smile was still so sweet, causing others to feel extremely comfortable when they looked at her.

The Emperor, however, didn’t say anything. He only looked at her for a moment before saying, “I’ve heard that you’re the best at brewing tea. It’s rare for me to be in the mood today. Go brew one for a taste.”

Mu Yunyao stared blankly for a moment, then nodded, “Okay.”

Xu Li quickly ordered some servants to bring the tea set over.

Soon, an item was placed on the table.

Mu Yunyao brought down to wash her hands and leave the Emperor’s line of sight to prepare. She couldn’t help but sway a little as her back became wet and cold. It was unknown when she had been drenched in a cold sweat, and the wound on her waist was also faintly aching.

Mu Yunyao knew that today’s events were exceptionally high-risk. The slightest carelessness would leave an impression on the Emperor’s mind that she was playing tricks on him. There were even a few times when she could feel the Emperor’s measuring and scrutinizing gaze. Fortunately, she had already thought of this earlier and had made preparations. She repeatedly hinted that she complete trust and reverence towards the Emperor, practicing her expression and eyes in the mirror over and over again, trying hard not to leave a single flaw. It was just that the Emperor was the Emperor, and she couldn’t tell what role her words played.

Mu Yunyao faced the basin as she slowly cleaned her hands. Her actions were exceptionally solemn, as though she wanted to wash away the distracting thoughts and fear in her heart. She needed to calm down, and the closer she got to the end, the more she couldn’t panic.

After a while, she accepts the handkerchief from the attendant at the side and gently wipes it clean. “Eunuch, I’m ready.”

“Miss Mu, please.”

The tea set is made of white porcelain and painted with flowers. The teapot was entirely made of alum red, painted with tangled branches and lotus patterns. Both sides of its abdomen were shining, while one painted lotus flowers in a lotus pond, while the other carried two lines of poetry: Seen when flipping blank birds, the water scented.

There were very few patterns on the corresponding teacups. They only have red lines on the edge of the bottom and the mouth of the cup. The white porcelain cup was as thin as a cicada’s wing, and it is as light as nothing in the hand. It is almost transparent under the reflection of the candle fire in the main hall.

Although Mu Yunyao’s purpose in studying the tea ceremony wasn’t pure, she really likes it. After settling down in Jingling City for over a year, her initial interest in the tea ceremony had already dissipated. In addition, she studied a few books of tea scriptures, and her skills in brewing tea were even better. At this moment, she was full of joy when seeing the exquisite tea set. Her expression and actions could not help but show some of it.

The Emperor was initially deep in thought about today’s matters in the Imperial Court when his eyes unconsciously drooped and attracted by Mu Yunyao’s brewing tea skill. He had long since heard Xu Li praise this girl for her extraordinary tea skills. He had initially thought that it was somewhat exaggerated, but upon seeing her for the first time, he realized that she was really excellent.

The tension on her body had completely disappeared and was replaced by natural and smooth elegance. Her movements were neither slow nor heavy, and her behavior was relaxed. It was as if her every gesture was like a natural phenomenon. Occasionally, there would be the sound of flowing water, light and pleasing to the ear. In the blink of an eye, the room filled with fragrance.

The impetuousness in the Emperor’s heart gradually disappeared. There was a rare moment of peace in his mind, and he actually felt remarkably relaxed.

The sound of a cup pad and a teacup clinking together resounded in his ears. The Emperor looked over with rapt attention and noticed that Mu Yunyao had already folded her hands in front of her stomach as she looked over with her clear gaze.

“Your Majesty, the tea has been brewed.”

By the side, Xu Li stepped forward and carefully took the cup of tea. He then placed it beside the imperial examination table, his movements smooth and steady.

The tea that was being brewed this time was the Lotus Fragrance Dew that Mu Yunyao had sent over. Initially, the fragrance of this tea was exceptionally fragrant. But now, with Mu Yunyao’s hand, it seemed to have risen even further.

The white porcelain teacup was thin, and one could faintly see the traces of the tea leaves in the cup from the outside. The leaves seemed to be shaking, causing the Emperor to lift the lid and take a closer look.

A cloud of white mist suddenly rose up. Within the haze, one could see a white crane flying past the teacup. The fog swayed, and the white crane nodded. The Emperor didn’t even have time to be surprised, the mist dissipated, and the crane disappeared without a trace. Within the teacup, the tea leaves were swaying, and the roots stood straight like bamboo shoots that had just emerged from the ground, with vigor and vitality, which caused him to lift the teacup and look at it carefully. Unexpectedly, when the teacup shook, the tea leaves in the cup suddenly fell like a startled snowflake and gathers at the bottom of the cup, forming a lotus shape with both form and spirit.

After a while, the lotus flower slowly dispersed, leaving only the fresh and distant tea’s fragrance.

The lotus flower dissipated, and the tea was warm enough to be consumed as well. The Emperor took a sip and immediately felt as if the entire lotus flower was contained within his mouth as he slowly swallowed down a mouthful of fragrance. “Your skills in brewing tea are indeed extraordinary.”

Mu Yunyao revealed an expression of joy, and her eyes were full of smiles. She seemed to be extremely happy as she said, “Many thanks for Your Majesty’s praise.”

~ IT WAS A SPLENDID ACHIEVEMENT ~ 

Mu Yunyao shot another stern look before lowering her head, her voice carrying a little sense of fear. “Reporting to Your Majesty, Mama has taught me before. However, this humble daughter is sincerely curious about what the real Son of Heaven should look like, so I couldn’t resist taking a glance. Please forgive me, Your Majesty.”

“The real Son of Heaven? Then tell me, are you disappointed when you see me like this?” Although the Emperor felt that Mu Yunyao was bold, he wasn’t too angry in his heart. After all, her eyes were so clear and pure, without the slightest hint of achievement, which makes people feel relieved at a glance. Even he still felt that her final stern look towards him, as if she wasn’t looking at Him enough, and it was somewhat amusing.

Xu Li, who was standing at the side, was nervous. He had a good impression of Mu Yunyao. He had seen her speak and do things very well, so how come she appear in front of the Emperor and was so stunned? She even directly raised her head to looked up the Emperor’s appearance. Wasn’t she asking for trouble?

“Isn’t it true that the real Son of Heaven should grow up to be like the Emperor?” As Mu Yunyao spoke, she quietly looked at the Emperor. Unexpectedly, her gaze met the Emperor’s eyes, and she knelt down in shock for a while. “Your Majesty, please forgive me.”

The Emperor paused for a moment and then couldn’t help but laugh, “Stand up. Your reputation is spread far and wide in Jingling City. If I were to accuse you just because you took a few glances at me, wouldn’t I will be a foolish king if the word about it spread?”

Mu Yunyao stood up as if she felt that the Emperor’s attitude was warm, and the nervousness on her body had disappeared quite a bit. When she spoke, she wasn’t as cautious as before. “Your majesty, this humble daughter wishes to kowtow and thank you first.” After saying that, without waiting for the Emperor’s reply, she kneeled down once more, meticulously began to perform a kowtow ceremony.

The Emperor’s gaze landed on Mu Yunyao as he watched her movements with great interest.

After Mu Yunyao finished bowing, it was as if a load on her mind had been lifted. She looked a lot more relaxed, and her aura seemed to have become a little more lively.

“Why are you so polite and thoughtless?”

“Naturally, it was to thank Your Majesty for your rewards. You gave this humble daughter a lot of things before. You also gave the calligraphy of Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo as a reward, so this humble daughter has always wanted to thank you in her heart.”

“The reason why I am bestowing this upon you is that you have contributed greatly to imparting the embroidery technique to the people. It is only natural for I to do so.”

Mu Yunyao slightly widened her eyes, seeming to be very surprised, “How could it be? The Emperor’s things weren’t blown by the wind, so of course, I have to thank him for giving me so many things. Moreover, I volunteered to teach the embroidery needle technique back then, and the Emperor’s reward was my recognition. It’s a rare thing to get your recognition, so this humble daughter has always been deeply grateful.”

The Emperor was a little surprised, but Mu Yunyao’s expression was too sincere. The words that came out sounded pleasing to his ears and carried a hint of sincerity, making his displeased mood ease up a little, “If the officials thought like you, then they would have given me less trouble, and I can worry less.”

Mu Yunyao nodded in an exceptionally natural manner, “In order for the Emperor to raise all the people in the world, it is indeed made you worry so much.”

Raise all the people in the world?

“Girl, you’re quite straightforward. Raise your head.” He couldn’t help but be curious about Mu Yunyao’s appearance. Just now, when he hastily glanced at her, he noticed that her eyes were black and white, clear enough to see the bottom, making it unforgettable for anyone to see, but he didn’t have the time to look at her.

Speaking of which, the congratulatory gifts that Mu Yunyao had sent him several times were very much in line with his wishes. Moreover, she was still young, but the things she had done were not small. In particular, this time, she gave back to the people of Jingling City, and she had helped to raise two hundred thousand taels of silver from the people of Jingling City. If the following few years were to pass, the entire city would have to pay two hundred thousand taels of silver. If there were any natural disasters in the next few years, there would be no need for the Imperial Court to provide relief.

It was a splendid achievement.

“Then, Your Majesty, you have to be careful, don’t be scared by me.” Mu Yunyao first spoke a word of warning before raising her head.

“Don’t tell me you look so...” Hearing Mu Yunyao’s reminder, the Emperor felt it was laughable in his heart, and his tone couldn’t help but relaxed. Just as he was about to joke and ask if she looked horribly ugly, the words suddenly stopped at his mouth.

Xu Li, who was standing at the side, also peeked over. He couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air when he took a glace. It’s..., Is that Miss Mu’s face was ruined? What’s wrong? Why does it look blue and purple?

The great hall was quiet for a while, then Mu Yunyao slightly lowered her head in embarrassment, once again bowing to the Emperor: “This humble daughter is rash, please forgive me, Your Majesty.”

When her voice came to his ear, the Emperor suddenly regained his mind and looked at Mu Yunyao with a slightly different look. His absent-mindedness was not because Mu Yunyao’s face had a purplish palm mark on it. But, because her appearance was actually similar to his Imperial Older Sister when she was young, the Grand Princess Yi De.

It had always been said that the Heaven Family was heartless, but he did not believe these words. In these many years, the relationship between him and his Imperial Older Sister had always been deep. Moreover, the guilt in his heart had deepened as he grew older. At this time, when he saw Mu Yunyao, who looks a little like his Imperial Older Sister, he couldn’t help feeling more close. “You get up and talk. Xu Li, give her a seat.”

Xu Li quickly moved the stool over, and Mu Yunyao sat down properly and let out a sigh of relief.

“What happened to the wound on your face?”

“In order to respond to the Emperor, I was beaten up by the young lady of the Meng family, Meng Yanran.” Mu Yunyao bluntly replied.

“... Why did she hit you? Was it because you did something wrong?”

Mu Yunyao hurriedly shook her head, her tone calm and without fear. “I have only been in the Capital for two days, so I don’t have the time to do anything even if I wanted to. According to Miss Meng, it’s because I was born of lowly status. Moreover, I opened Ni Yunfang and Bu Xian Luo, so she thought that I did all the dirty work of the merchants, and she looked at me with displeasure, deliberately framing me, then finding excuses to punish me.”

Xu Li couldn’t help but take a deep breath. Was Miss Mu’s accusation a little too straightforward?

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 273

~ PRELUDE TO ENTERING THE PALACE TO COMPLAIN ~ 

Early morning in the next day, Mu Yunyao had already gotten up early and began to freshen up.

She had chosen the clothes yesterday. Although there filial piety, she could not enter the Palace wearing them too lightly to avoid attracting the taboo, so she chooses a pale peach pink dress with a silver border. The hairpin she picked was a hollow orchid hairpin with some small flower pearls on the top. The earrings are also small orchid shaped, which are expressly fresh and pleasant to match the clothes.

After changing her clothes and matching her jewelry, Mu Yunyao sat down in front of the mirror and used the makeup to smear on her cheeks.

Su Qing stood behind Mu Yunyao. Through the mirror, she could see that her uninjured cheek was as white as a petal and as tender as fine white jade, but on the other side, the five fingerprints were clearly visible, which made people’s eyes tremble.

“Yao’er, is this a bit inappropriate?”

Mu Yunyao held her cheek and carefully looked it up for a while. She nodded with satisfaction: “I don’t feel like there’s anything wrong with it? It feels right.”

Su Qing could only suppress the worry in her heart. After accompanying her to eating for a while, she saw that it was almost the time. Then, she got up to send Mu Yunyao out.

As soon as she came out, she saw Qi Mama standing at the door. She didn’t know how long she waited, but there was actually some dew on the tip of her shoes. “Greetings, Miss Mu. The Eldest Madam has ordered me to arrange a carriage for you and let this servant wait outside the Palace gate. When you finished entering the Palace, I will pick you up and take you back.”

Mu Yunyao was supported by Jin Lan and Jin Qiao from both sides. She looked energetic, but her eyes filled with a strong sense of exhaustion. “Thank you, Qi Mama.”

“Young Miss is too polite.”

The carriage was placed with soft cushions that were exceptionally meticulously placed on top, and it felt comfortable after sitting on it. Mu Yunyao heard the sound of the carriage rolling past the bluestone street and closed her eyes to rest her mind.

Jin Lan and Jin Qiao, who were sitting at the side, did not dare to make a sound. They just waited quietly at the side. After about an hour, the carriage slowly stopped. “Miss, we have arrived.”

Mu Yunyao slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were as clear as the blue sky, pure and untainted by a speck of dust.

When Jin Lan and Jin Qiao saw her current appearance, they couldn’t help but be slightly stunned. At this moment, Miss’s aura seemed to be exceptionally different. In the past, when she was facing her mother, she also had a pure worry-free appearance, but compared to now, she still lacked a bit of clarity. The Young Miss seemed to have faded all the distracting thoughts from her mind. It was like the sky had suddenly become sunny after the heavy rain had passed. It was clear and clean to the extreme.

Being helped from the carriage, Mu Yunyao slightly straightened her body before tidying her dress and slowly walking towards the Palace gate.

A young eunuch was already waiting at the entrance of the Palace. When he saw Mu Yunyao, he hurriedly bent his knee and bowed, “May I ask if you are Miss Mu?”

Mu Yunyao nodded in return. “This humble one is Mu Yunyao. Greetings, Eunuch.”

“Miss Mu is too polite. This servant, Xiao Gui, has sent the order of Eunuch Li to wait for Miss Mu at the entrance of the Palace. After the Imperial Court is over, the Emperor still has to meet the minister in the imperial study. After that, there was a half-hour break. The girl had to wait for a while.”

“Yes, thank you for your advice, Sir.”

Mu Yunyao had a gentle attitude, and her line was well-mannered, but the injury on her cheek was so apparent, attracts Xiaogui, Eunuch who led the way, took a sneak peek several times.

Mu Yunyao noticed his gaze, but she didn’t care. Instead, she observed the scenery of the Imperial Palace from the corner of her eyes.

In her previous life, she did not have the fortune to come to the Palace and had only seen it outside the Palace walls a few times from afar. The only thing she can see was the Royal Palace gate, which was more than ten meters high outside the palace wall. The pavilion with double eaves and sharp roof protruded like five phoenixes fluttering their wings. At that time, she was still looking forward to it, and it would be nice to have a closer look. Now she walked in and looked at it carefully, but there was no longer that longing he had from before.

This Palace has gone through several dynasties and had been expanded over and over again until it finally had today’s grand scale. The vermilion walls and glazed roof tiles gave off a majestic aura everywhere.

Along the way, Mu Yunyao did her best to endure the discomfort as she followed the young eunuch and deliberately avoided along the way, but there weren’t many people.

Walking to a Palace, the young eunuch stopped in his tracks, “Greetings, Eunuch Li.”

Mu Yunyao raised her head and saw the smiling face of Eunuch Li. She greeted him as well, “I greet Eunuch Li.”

“ Miss Mu is is too polite. Your Majesty is currently receiving a court official. As there are too many matters, there will inevitably be delayed a bit. Miss Mu should wait first in the side hall for a while. When the time comes, I’ll call you again.” Eunuch Li’s attitude towards Mu Yunyao was exceptionally intimate. First, it was because of her relationship with Xu Li. Second, it was because the purse that Mu Yunyao had given him yesterday had banknotes worth over a thousand taels of silver. It was really too extravagant. Today, it was inevitable that he would subconsciously treat her well.

After entering the side hall, Eunuch Li gestured for Mu Yunyao to sit down before instructing the eunuch who was leading them to serve the refreshments, “Miss Mu, please take a seat.”

“Thank you, Eunuch Li.” Along the way, she followed the little eunuch and walked quickly over. A layer of sweat had already formed on Mu Yunyao’s forehead. If she were to wait outside, she might really be unable to hold on.

“Miss Mu, you are too polite. I still have some matters that I must attend to and cannot wait here with Miss. Please forgive me.”

“I don’t dare to disturb my Lord.” Mu Yunyao quietly waited inside the side hall. After waiting for nearly an hour, she finally saw Eunuch Li walk in again, but this time, his complexion was clearly worse. After bowing to Mu Yunyao, he reminded her in a low voice, “Miss Mu, the Emperor wishes for you to go. The Emperor is in a rather not good mood.”

Mu Yunyao’s eyes moved, “Thank you, Eunuch Li.”

Arriving at the entrance of Yi Xin Palace, Mu Yunyao lowered her head and waited for the announcement, and after a long while, she heard a call: “Young Miss Mu Yunyao, enter the hall.”

Mu Yunyao slightly lowered her head and entered the hall very respectfully. Out of the corner of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of the Emperor wearing a bright yellow robe with dragon patterns embroidered on it. She promptly knelt and respectfully said, “This humble daughter, Mu Yunyao, greets Your Majesty.”

Mu Yunyao’s voice was clear and soft, and it was notably pleasant to hear in the great quiet hall.

The Emperor, who was frowning, slightly relaxed his expression, “Stand up. Are you Mu Yunyao?”

The Emperor’s voice filled with the dignity of a person in power. Even without looking at his appearance, her heart oppressed to the point where she could hardly breathe.

“In reply to the Emperor, yes.”

The Emperor looked at Mu Yunyao. The young girl in front of him had a petite stature, and her head was lowered, making it difficult to see her appearance. She stood there quietly, dressed delicately and charmingly, making her look very comfortable. Moreover, after entering the door, she was very polite. At first sight, she was specially trained, but she was also a child who kept the etiquette.

As the Emperor was thinking, he suddenly met a pair of eyes full of curiosity, causing him to be stunned for a moment. Mu Yunyao, who he praised just now, had unexpectedly raised her head to looked at him. She was quite courageous. “Mu Yunyao, could it be that no one told you before you came that you can’t look at Son of Heaven’s Face directly?”

~ THE COMPLAINT NATURALLY SHOULD BE MADE ~  

Mu Yunyao laid on the bed, her cheek resting on her arm. Her fair and flawless arms were placed together with the bruises on her face. The contrast was exceptionally intense, causing people couldn’t help but take a deep breath just by looking at her: That Miss Meng is too fierce. How much strength did she use?

“Wen Mama, do you have any instructions from Grandmother?”

“The Old Madam was not feeling well yesterday and had rested very early. This morning, she heard about Young Miss and immediately felt worried. The Old Madam had a severe headache and couldn’t even get out of bed now, so she sent this servant to visit you first.”

Mu Yunyao’s eyes flashed with a cold light. Those who didn’t know would think how much the Old Madam loved this granddaughter of hers. “Grandmother is worried about me.”

Wen Mama observed Mu Yunyao carefully, as though she wanted to read some emotion from her face, but after looking at it for a while, she couldn’t catch anything. “Young Miss, the Old Madam knows that she has treated Madam and you unfairly for all these years, so she is wholeheartedly trying to make up for it. But in the end, there are many things in the big family. Just like yesterday’s Miss Meng, even if she was against Eldest Miss, she still had to suffer. After all, Miss Meng’s grandfather was the Grand Preceptor of the Imperial Court, while her grandmother was a princess of Qingning. There were too many implications behind her actions. We can’t make the relationship stiff because of a little unhappiness. If that happens, the entire Su family will be in danger.”

After Wen Mama said this in earnest, she saw that Mu Yunyao was silent, causing people to be unable to figure out what she was thinking.

“Young Miss, the Old Madam also wanted me to tell you the rules of the Palace. The Palace is filled with nobles, so you have to be extra careful with your words and deeds. If you have any small mistakes, you can easily be held accountable.”

Only then did Mu Yunyao slightly nod her head. “Mama, please speak.”

Wen Mama slightly heaved a sigh of relief because she was willing to speak. She was afraid that Mu Yunyao would be angry and refuse to listen to anything she said. In the next hour, Wen Mama talking about what Mu Yunyao should pay attention to after entering the Palace. She also secretly persuaded Mu Yunyao not to say anything wrong, especially she couldn’t mention all that had happened in the Su family’s backyard to the Emperor.

Mu Yunyao had been quietly listening. After Wen Mama had finished speaking, she called Jin Lan in. “Wen Mama, thank you for your hard work. Jin Lan will go prepare some refreshments and let Wen Mama take a rest.”

Wen Mama stood up. “Miss Jin Lan doesn’t need to trouble herself. Young Miss’s body is injured, so she only has a bit short of energy. I’ve already finished what I needed to say. With Young Miss’s intelligence, there shouldn’t be any problems. This old servant still has to return to serve the Old Madam. I’ll take my leave.”

As for the Old Madam’s previous request to ask Mu Yunyao if she had any clothes that she could wear to the Palace, Wen Mama did not speak at all. After all, she had seen Mu Yunyao’s beautiful attire when she was in Jingling City. Just her clothes packed in several large boxes, so how could she not have suitable clothes to wear?

“Thank you, Wen Mama. I’ll have to trouble you to make a trip here personally. Jin Lan, help me send Wen Mama out.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Not long after sending Wen Mama away, Su Qing brought in a bowl of porridge. “Yao’er, your face is injured, so it would be better for your injuries to recover if you eat light.”

Mu Yunyao giggled as she sat up, “Mother, the injury on my face only looks serious on the surface, but it’s actually just a slap. It’s nothing, no need to be so careful. I don’t want to drink the porridge. I want to eat the Eight Treasures Rice that you made.”

Su Qing, however, disagreed and directly shoved the bowl into Mu Yunyao’s hands, “My daughter’s body is naturally very delicate and expensive, not to mention the injuries on her face are too extreme. You should obediently drink the porridge for two days. When the wounds are gone, you could think about anything else. Moreover, we don’t have a small kitchen in Jiyue Pavilion, so it is really a bit troublesome if you want to eat Eight Treasures Rice.”Mu Yunyao took a spoonful and tasted the porridge. She slightly frowned as she said, “It doesn’t taste good. Speaking of this kitchen is indeed a problem. Mother, you should endure it for these two days first. After some time, we’ll have our own kitchen.”

Su Qing was stunned. She then looked at Yao’er nervously, “Yao’er, why does Mother feel so flustered? You aren’t really planning to bring the incident from that day to the Emperor’s presence, right?”

Mu Yunyao blinked and nodded as if it was a matter of course, “Naturally. Didn’t the Eldest Madam only brazenly side with her niece because no one else in the Su family could handle the situation? If others can’t manage it, then the Emperor naturally can manage.”

The reason she spent so much effort and money to spread her name so that she would not be wronged. But she was injured when she arrived in the Capital, so there must be an explanation for this matter. If the Eldest Madam did not give it to her, she would ask for it herself!

“But just now, the Eldest Madam sent someone to deliver the medicinal herb, and you accepted it. Wen Mama also came to appease you, so she must want you to endure this grievance. If you were to continue bringing this matter to the Emperor, would there be anything amiss?” Su Qing was worried. They couldn’t leave the Su family for the time being. If they angered the Old Madam and the Eldest Madam because of this, she was afraid that they would be troubled in the future.

“With just a few words of consoling and medicinal herbs, you want to settle this matter peacefully? How can there be such a cheap thing exist in this world?”

“But the Emperor is the ruler of a nation. He has so much to do and manages everything every day. Would he really care about such a small matter that happened in the backyard of the Su family?”

Mu Yunyao slightly pursed her lips: “I am also not sure if the Emperor will care about it, but no matter if he does or does not care, as long as I say this grievance in front of him, the Su Family should not have any peace. As subjects of the Imperial Court, what they cared about the most was the Emperor’s opinion on them. This time, the Emperor didn’t care, then the next time I feel wronged, I’m going to tell him again. If I add it up again and again, will the Emperor not be affected at all?”

Su Qing couldn’t hold back her laughter, “It’s already fortunate that you could see the Emperor once. How can you say that you can enter the Imperial Palace and complain again and again? Do you think that the Palace belongs to you? Aiya, looking at how I spoke, I forgot to be proper for a moment...” To say that the Imperial Palace belongs to one’s own family is to be suspected of treason. She might even lose her head if she tried to rebel.

“Mother, don’t worry, I know what I should do. Even if I can’t personally come to the Palace to see the Emperor in the future, there will always be a way to spread the news.” If things got out of hand, there was also Yue Wang. At worst, she would have spent more money than usual.

Su Qing caressed Mu Yunyao’s hair and said sincerely, “Yao’er, it’s not that mother wants to make you suffer, but that you have to be careful of what you say. If you don’t say it properly, you will lose your head.”

Mu Yunyao leaned into Su Qing’s embrace, “Mother, don’t worry. I will live for a hundred years. In the future, I still need to properly respect and filial piety. How can I bear to die?”

Su Qing suppressed the tears in her eyes with great difficulty, “Fine. Mother will wait for you to be filial.”

~ THE OLD MADAM WHO SHAKES THE POT ~ 

The Old Madam shook her head, and her expression looked rather cold. “You are usually busy. How can you take care of everything alone? After all these years, you have never made any mistakes while in charge of the residence. I naturally believe in you, but people will inevitably have their own preferences. Although the back is all flesh, the flesh is actually thinner than the palm.”

Was she blaming her for having favored Meng Yanran yesterday?

The Eldest Madam hurried forward to pay her respects. “But what did your daughter-in-law do wrong that displeased you? Please enlighten me, Mother.”

Old Madam Sun pondered for a moment before opening her mouth. “I heard that Yunyao was injured yesterday?”

“Yes, it’s a fight between two little sisters. You should know that Yanran was spoiled by her grandfather and grandmother. Sometimes it is inevitable that she will lose her sense of proportion in her words and actions, so ...”

“So, you defended Meng Yanran and wronged Yao’er?” she asked.

The Eldest Madam’s heart tightened. Judging from the Old Madam’s words, she was trying to blame it on herself? Didn’t she think that she was the one who intervened yesterday?

“Mother, Yanran was frightened at the time. She was so frightened that she even tore her own clothes. I was worried that something might have happened to Yanran here and wouldn’t have been able to explain it to the Meng family, so I subconsciously sided with her. After Yao’er got slapped, I felt distressed when I saw it ...”

“Since you know that you’ve wronged Yao’er, have you given her a proper explanation?” The Old Madam’s tone softened.

“I came to Jiyue Pavillion today to pay a visit, but Yao’er seemed to be angry and refused to speak.”

“You are an elder, so you should naturally learn to be tolerant. As for Yao’er, you need to talk to her again, don’t make her feel resentful. After all, she is still young, so there is nothing to block her words and actions. If there is anything bad spread out, won’t it bring shame to our Su family?” The Old Madam looked at the Eldest Madam indifferently. It was only when the Eldest Madam nodded in agreement that she was satisfied, and there was an extra smile on his face.

When the Eldest Madam walked out of the Old Madam’s courtyard, Ninghe Garden, she felt like she was being roasted on a fire. Her heart, liver, spleen, and lungs felt miserable everywhere. If she really cared for her granddaughter, she would not have sent Lin Yuhan to do that yesterday. Seeing that Mu Yunyao was about to meet the Emperor, the Old Madam panicked and was so flustered that she asked her to say nice words to pacify Mu Yunyao. She had taken all the great things, but the bad things had to be done by herself!

Could it be that the Old Madam’s face was her face, and hers, as an Eldest Madam’s face, was a piece of paper that was worthless? When she thought about speaking kindly to Mu Yunyao, the Eldest Madam felt as if she had been slapped in the face a few times.

Wen Mama brought a cup of tea and placed it next to the Old Madam. “Old Madam, have some tea. Don’t worry too much about the matters of those juniors.”

The Old Madam gently played with the Buddhist beads in her hands and slightly lowering her eyes. Her slightly relaxed eyelids blocked the emotions that flowed in her eyes, “All these years have been smooth sailing. Why is it that everything is under her control became like this? Carelessness makes it easier to stir up trouble. These days make the eyes of the people underneath a little tighter. It’s almost the Mid Autumn Festival, and It’s better to be a little more secure.”

“Yes, Old Madam.” After Wen Mama finished answering, she stood to the side. The room was silent for a long time before she suddenly heard the Old Madam speak again.

“Wen Mama, I believe in your judgment. What do you think about Mu Yunyao?”

Wen Mama couldn’t figure out the meaning behind the Old Madam’s words for a moment, so she could only speak up. “Previously, the Old Madam also asked this, and this servant thought that Miss Mu was smart and beautiful. It’s a rare thing.”

“Smart… After all...” Old Madam Sun seemed to want to say something, but when the words were just about to leave her mouth, she quickly swallowed them back. Her expression turned unnatural for a moment as she continued, “In a while, bring the medicinal ingredients and go to Jiyue Pavilion to take a look. Also, ask Yao’er if she has proper clothes for her presence tomorrow at the Palace. If she doesn’t have proper clothes, then borrow them from Yuyi for her use. Also, tell her the Palace’s rule. Otherwise, she says something that she shouldn’t have said after entering the Palace. It would be bad if she angers any noble person.”

“Yes, Old Madam.”

Wen Mama couldn’t figure out the meaning behind the Old Madam’s words for a moment, so she could only speak up. “Previously, the Old Madam also asked this, and this servant thought that Miss Mu was smart and beautiful. It’s a rare thing.”

“Smart… After all...” Old Madam Sun seemed to want to say something, but when the words were just about to leave her mouth, she quickly swallowed them back. Her expression turned unnatural for a moment as she continued, “In a while, bring the medicinal ingredients and go to Jiyue Pavilion to take a look. Also, ask Yao’er if she has proper clothes for her presence tomorrow at the Palace. If she doesn’t have proper clothes, then borrow them from Yuyi for her use. Also, tell her the Palace’s rule. Otherwise, she says something that she shouldn’t have said after entering the Palace. It would be bad if she angers any noble person.”

“Yes, Old Madam.”

Mu Yunyao lazily laid on the bed, asking Si Hua to massage the bruise on her waist again with medicated oil. The bruised blood gradually dispersed, and the range of bruises became wider. It looked particularly shocking on her snow-white skin.

Every time Su Qing looked at it, Su Qing had to shed tears, causing Mu Yunyao to feel distressed. “Mother, don’t worry too much. I had rested all night last night, so it doesn’t hurt anymore.”

“You tricked Mother when you went to see Eunuch Li just now, but you couldn’t even stand properly.”

Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but laugh. “I’ve suffered such a great grievance, so I naturally have to be pitiful in front of outsiders. Although it still hurts a bit, it’s mostly an act. If Mother doesn’t believe me, I’ll come down now and take two steps to show you.”

Su Qing hurriedly stepped forward and placed her hand on Mu Yunyao’s shoulder. “Mother trusted you. Quickly lie down and rest. Mother will make some pork bone soup for you later. You will be healed faster if you drink it.”

“Mother, it’s not like I hurt my bones. What’s the use of drinking the bone soup?”

“Drink more bone soup. You’ll grow taller and stronger if you drink more. This way, the next time someone hits you, you’ll be able to dodge, and you won’t have to suffer so much pain.”

Mu Yunyao felt sour in her heart. Her mother’s heart was always that soft, but she still had a smile on her face as she said, “Alright, then Mother will boil a little more, so I’ll drink a little more.”

Su Qing hurriedly nodded. When she saw Mu Yunyao’s expression, her heart relaxed a bit. “I understand.”

Just as they were talking, Jin Lan walked in quickly. “Madam, Miss, the Eldest Madam has sent someone to deliver a lot of medicinal herbs. There is even some precious nourishment for the body.”

The smile in Mu Yunyao’s eyes vanished. “Eldest Aunt has good intentions. Since the things have been delivered, then I’ll accept them. Tell Eldest Aunt that I’ll personally go and thank Eldest Aunt after I’ve recovered from my injuries.” If she didn’t accept the gift that was delivered to her, it would be a waste.

“Yes, Miss.”

Not long after, Mu Yunyao, who had just fallen asleep, heard Jin Lan enter and report, “Miss... Wen Mama has arrived.”

Mu Yunyao didn’t open her eyes, but she only opened her mouth and replied, “Invite her in.” She did not expect the Old Madam to lose her composure so quickly.

Wen Mama walked in and subconsciously looked around at the decorations around her. Jiyue Pavilion had was originally decorated very exquisitely, but now it is even better than before. The floor was covered in a fluffy peony carpet, and when people stepped on it, it was as if they were standing on clouds, which made them feel extremely comfortable and soft. A piece of furniture has been replaced with the delicate style of Jiangnan. The exquisite design was exceptionally compatible with this Jiyue Pavilion.

Between the outer hall and the inner room was a large folding screen, embroidered with a picture of mountains and rivers s in a remote style. It was unknown who had made it, but it was so captivating.

Around the screen, a dark red bead curtain made of Jade Seal Jade Beads hung at the door of Mu Yunyao’s room. The bead curtain’s color was the same, and the beads were round and full, and each bead was absolutely identical. It was hard to tell if there was any difference, but just this bead alone would probably cost more than ten thousand taels of silver.

Wen Mama was sighing with emotion in her heart when she heard Mu Yunyao’s slightly weak voice, “Wen Mama, you’ve arrived. My movements are currently inconvenient, so I can’t stand up to welcome you.”

Wen Mama immediately became attentive. She stepped forward, holding her breath, and curtsied. “Your servant greets Young Miss.”

Incurable Chapter 19 Part 2

The sun was still shining brightly outside the car window. Liu Qianxiu’s car drove under the bridge. The green area of Xiacheng was vast, with many lush trees on the side of the clean road.

The night scene that Mu Wan took last night was filmed until today’s morning. After the filming, she rushed back to Xiacheng without stopping. Mu Wan didn’t have a rest when she got home. Just cleaned up and came here. While chatting with Liu Qianxiu, the scenery outside the car window became hazier. The road was smooth when he reached the coastal highway, and Mu Wan fell asleep.

The car drove smoothly to the southern district. Liu Qianxiu stopped the car and glanced sideways at the co-pilot. Mu Wan tilted her head against the car window, her hair hanging around her white shoulders, her neck slightly stretched out, connecting her jawline. When the car turned off, Liu Qianxiu could hear Mu Wan’s long breathing, and she slept very peacefully.

Withdrawing his sight, Liu Qianxiu opened the door and exited the car.

He rang the doorbell in front of a single-family villa. It was already 5:30 p.m., and the sun was still bright. The salty sea breeze was blowing, bringing wet moisture. It should rain again.

The doorbell rang, and soon someone came to open the door. As soon as the door opened, a woman’s gentle smile appeared. She is so beautiful, with delicate features, and her long black hair is tied into a low ponytail and hung over her back. When she laughs, she has the gentleness and beauty of a Jiangnan woman.

Seeing Liu Qianxiu, the woman smiled and said, “Coming.” After speaking, she stepped aside and made way for his place.

Liu Qianxiu thanked her and walked in. Just as Huai Jing came down the stairs, he saw him with his peachy eyes and said, “I thought you were going to send me another cat again.”

Huai Jing is the head of the Huai family. He apparently just returned from getting off work, his crimson shirt with only his tie removed, his neckline slightly open, revealing half of his collarbone. As he spoke, he raised his hand to unfasten the cufflinks of his shirt and walked down.

He and Liu Qianxiu’s stature is similar. His height is 1.9 meters tall, the same tall and straight. But standing together, the temperament is expressly distinct. Huai Jing possessed a businessman’s swift and noble elite, delicate and profound facial features, and careless frivolous and publicity in his eyes. Liu Qianxiu, on the other hand, is very quiet and indifferent. His appearance seems to be influenced by his temperament. His eyebrows filled with extraordinary loneliness. Although he is calm, he can’t be ignored.

“Do you want it?” Liu Qianxiu asked Huaijing.

Huai Jing hadn’t spoken yet, but a white shadow beside him brushed past his trousers, and a beautiful puppet with hair jumped to his wife’s side. Xu Xingkong picked up the cat, smiled, and touched its head.

“Forget it.” Huai Jing shook his head and said, “One is wasting time.”

Xu Xingkong raised her eyes, looking at him with beautiful eyes. Huai Jing looked back at her, and after a long while, he pressed his lips and said with an inevitable tone: “One is okay, but the other ones are really too much to raise together.”

“How can anyone ask the owner for a cat at random.” Xu Xingkong corrected Huai Jing’s thoughts. She put Mimi in her arms down and smiled at Liu Qianxiu, “Qianxiu, your cat is in the cat room.”

The cats’ room is on the first floor. Xu Xingkong walked in front as Huai Jing and Liu Qianxiu followed, chatting back and forth.

“I won’t keep you for dinner. I don’t want to wash more dishes.”

“Why don’t you buy a dishwasher?”

“Either you are single or don’t know the joy of our married life.”

Listening to her husband’s words, Xu Xingkong looked back at him and, in a low voice, reminded him, “Huaijing.”

Huaijing watched her earlobes turn red because of anxiety. With a soft look, he said, “This is the experience of the predecessors.”

She sighed silently. In front of outsiders, Xu Xingkong was a little shy. She glanced at Liu Qianxiu and said to Huai Jing: “Don’t say that.”

“Okay.” Huai Jing laughed flatly: “I won’t say that anymore.”

Liu Qianxiu stood in front of them, calmly asking, “Can I take the cat?”

The couple looked at him over together. Xu Xingkong withdrew her gaze first, opened the cat room door with a blushing face, and whispered, “...Yes.”

Before deciding to leave for Wencheng on Sunday afternoon, Liu Qianxiu brought the cat to Huaijing’s house. After five days of no seeing, the three little cats have grown a long way. Before Xu Xingkong opened the door, he heard the sound of cats crying.

At the sound of the door opening, Zhou Yi, sleeping by the side, saw Liu Qianxiu. It jumped down from the cat climbing frame with a light posture, jumped to Liu Qianxiu’s leg, and called at him.

Liu Qianxiu leaned over and touched Zhou Yi. Next to him, Xu Xingkong helped to get the three kittens’ things. She held it and told Liu Qianxiu: “You can eat dinner here. Go back after you eat dinner. Huai Jing just joking with you.”

Putting Zhou Yi in the cat cage, when Liu Qianxiu was about to refuse, a woman’s voice came from outside.

“Liu Qianxiu!”

Huai Jing and Xu Xingkong looked out the door together. Liu Qianxiu put the three small cats in another cat cage, picked them up, and said: “No need.”

Just after Mu Wan woke up, she found out Liu Qianxiu by her side was gone. When the car stopped in front of a single-family villa, she made a call first, but Liu Qianxiu’s mobile phone was in the car. She was anxious, exited the vehicle, and shouted at the villa.

After she shouted, Liu Qianxiu came out of the villa. Holding the cat cage, he looked up at her calmly.

The sunshine on the beach was good, and the sea breeze was gentle. Mu Wan looked at Liu Qianxiu’s face, and the hustle and bustle of her heart suddenly settled.

He was not the only one who came out of the villa. Mu Wan looked at the woman standing behind Liu Qianxiu. She was soft and quiet and shouldn’t make noise outside someone else’s door.

After realizing it, Mu Wan blushed.

Xu Xingkong sent Liu Qianxiu to the car’s side and politely looked at Mu Wan. She was amazed by her appearance. Mu Wan has long black hair, dark eyes, and a small face with large palms. She also has fair skin, and her lips are blushing. On her right cheek is a small red mark pressed out when she sleeps, which makes her charming temperament bring some sweetness and innocence.

“Why don’t you wake me up?” Mu Wan whispered to Liu Qianxiu. Then, she turned her head, smiled at Xu Xingkong, and said, “Hello, my name is Mu Wan.”

“Hello, my name is Xu Xingkong.” After Xu Xingkong introduced herself, she explained to Mu Wan, “My husband was on the phone, so he didn’t come out together.”

“Oh.” Mu Wan knew what Xu Xingkong meant by this explanation, so she glanced at Liu Qianxiu and said, “Liu Qianxiu told me. Thank you for taking care of the cat for us.”

“Ah.” When Mu Wan finished speaking, Xu Xingkong seemed to think of something. She told Liu Qianxiu, “There is a small bag of things you forgot to take. Wait a moment.”

Xu Xingkong hurried home. After a while, she returned with a small bag and handed Mu Wan a clean one. “I just bought it. It’s so sweet.” Xu Xingkong said with a smile.

Incurable Chapter 19 Part 1

The office was silent, the occasional wheel of a flat car pushed by the corridor. The wheels rattled rapidly, accompanied by the groans of patients and the whispers of the little nurse.

Mu Wan was sitting on the hospital bed, her hands on her side. She shrugged her shoulders a little, and her slender collarbone was slightly convex, forming a beautiful collarbone groove. She lowered her head and looked down at her raised feet. On her skinny white feet, an ordinary band-aid was put on. The corners were adequately fitted, covering the red marks, and the cold red potion was just applied.

Most doctors have cleanliness and obsessive-compulsive disorder, but Liu Qianxiu wasn’t one of them. He is only very self-disciplined, so he does everything cleanly and without redundancy.

She moved her toes, looked up at Liu Qianxiu, and asked, “Can you heal it before you get off work?”

She came early, only half past four, and there was still an hour before Liu Qianxiu got off work. She doesn’t leave and plans to wait here as a patient.

Liu Qianxiu raised his eyes to look at her. He put the things in his hands and responded: “Okay.”

Liu Qianxiu acquiesced it. Mu Wan raised her feet and laughed.

Xiao Yun stood at the door and looked inside the ward. Mu Wan sat on the hospital bed in a slim ginger-colored dress, her slender waist like a full grasp. Her long black hair covered her back, revealing only her thin shoulders. She is tall but slim, but Xiao Yun could feel her thousands of styles only from the back.

The woman’s attractiveness is not due to her clothes, but she gives the charm of clothes, such as the last red dress or the ginger-colored one. When worn on others, it just makes a fool of themselves.

Xiao Yun’s eyebrows drooped slightly. When she first came, she heard the nurse discussing that a surprisingly beautiful woman had entered Doctor Liu’s office. There was jealousy and envy in their tone, and the conclusion of the discussion was very consistent. Doctor Liu would not pay attention to her at all.

Liu Qianxiu is immortal, with a spiritual breadth and depth that ordinary people don’t have. Such a person will not be shallow enough to be captured by gorgeous skin.

Looking at Mu Wan’s back, a trace of contempt flashed in Xiao Yun’s eyes. She raised her hand and knocked on the door. The people inside turned their heads together when Xiao Yun pushed the door and walked in.

“I’m sorry for disturb, Doctor Liu. The director asked you to come over and discuss the plan for the operation next week.” After Xiao Yun finished speaking, she glanced at Mu Wan, smiled politely, and retracted her gaze.

Last time in Masyale Western Restaurant, the unpleasantness between the two people in the bathroom was tacitly taken as a passing moment. Mu Wan didn’t smile back at Xiao Yun but looked at Liu Qianxiu and worried about another problem.

“Will it take a long time?” Mu Wan asked.

Liu Qianxiu stood up, and the light outside the window was blocked. He looked down at her and said, “It wouldn’t be long. You’ll be waiting for me here, and we will go back together later.”

Liu Qianxiu’s voice was considerably low, and his words were only for Mu Wan to listen to. But his spacious office had no obstructions, so his voice was transmitted clearly. Xiao Yun’s eyes moved when she heard Liu Qianxiu’s words.

Standing beside the hospital bed, Mu Wan still holding his hands on his side, looking up at him. Her eyes are bright, black as ink, and crystal clear even without sunlight.

“Alright.”

Liu Qianxiu retracted his gaze, picked up the documents on the table, and said to Xiao Yun: “Let’s go.”

With a startled expression, Xiao Yun returned to her senses. She moved her lips and said, “Alright.” Before leaving, Xiao Yun took a solemn look at Mu Wan.

Mu Wan was smiling at her, and her dress was full of light. She looked like a fierce and delicate little wild leopard.

She is fierce, and Liu Qianxiu is simple. After going out, Xiao Yun followed Liu Qianxiu’s side. A nurse passed by and greeted him. Xiao Yun looked at Liu Qianxiu and asked with a smile: “Doctor Liu, it’s not good to leave Miss Mu in the office.”

Liu Qianxiu glanced at her sideways. His eyes were like the wind, which swept her heart lightly. Xiao Yun’s eyes moved, her smile faded slightly, and she said, “I only want to remind you. After all, no one can enter no one can enter the doctor’s office. Unless it’s someone close...”

“Yeah.” Liu Qianxiu retracted his gaze, faintly replied, and said: “Then she has no problem.”

Her heart suddenly stuck. Xiao Yun’s throat trembled slightly, and then she retracted her gaze.

Liu Qianxiu didn’t lie to her. When he returned, Mu Wan played two games of Plants vs. Zombies on the hospital bed. She looked at him at the sound of the door, and her eyes brightened.

“You are back.” Mu Wan put away her mobile phone and exited the hospital bed.

She had no longer have a problem with her feet. She put on her shoes and revealed half of the band-aid. Liu Qianxiu swept his eyes and responded. He put the documents on the table and took off his white coat.

“Can you go now?” Mu Wan asked.

“I can get off work early.” He came back from a business trip this morning. He was not supposed to be at work this afternoon, but the hospital called him over when something happened. After hanging up his white coat, Liu Qianxiu said, “I’m going to pick up the cat at my friend’s house first. Will you come with me?”

After removing his white coat, Liu Qianxiu wore cotton, hemp cotton, and hemp shirts and trousers. His dressing style is fixed, light, and comfortable, with a sense of ethereal.

Her eyes wandered over the collarbone at Liu Qianxiu’s neckline. She did not answer, instead asking: “Boyfriend or girlfriend?”

Liu Qianxiu raised his eyes and looked at her calmly.

Mu Wan was watched. She felt a little guilty, and as he was just about to speak, Liu Qianxiu answered her question.

“Man. But his wife who keeps the cat.”

“Oh.” Just as Mu Wan suppressed the restlessness, there was a sweetness in her heart, and she answered calmly.

Mu Wan buckled her seat belt when she entered Liu Qianxiu’s car. Liu Qianxiu’s friend was in the South District. Passing from the Tang’er Hospital in the North District usually takes an hour. But they left early, and now it is only 4:30 in the afternoon, and it is not the time for traffic jams. By the rush hour, they would have been on the coastal highway.

The car started and drove smoothly out of the hospital entrance. At the first traffic light, Mu Wan asked Liu Qianxiu, “Is your friend also a doctor?”

Mu Wan has few friends, only Lin Wei and Gao Mei. Liu Qianxiu seems to be less than her. During the time they were together, he was on his own. He doesn’t like to be disturbed, so naturally, he doesn’t disturb others. Their relationship would be great if he could send the cat to that friend’s house.

“No.” Liu Qianxiu replied lightly.

The red light turned green, the car started, and Mu Wan’s body leaned against the chair’s back due to inertia. Her gaze was still on Liu Qianxiu’s side face. His profile was perfect, calm, and light.

If you don’t like to be disturbed, those two people who don’t want to be bothered can help each other. They should be about the same temperament as Liu Qianxiu. Mu Wa’s body moved, and she asked, “Is that... Fellow Daoist?”

There were no traffic lights, and the car was driving smoothly. Liu Qianxiu glanced at her sideways. She was staring at him as if waiting for him to answer.

“No. University classmates.” Liu Qianxiu replied.

“Ah.” Mu Wan regained his gaze, looked at the broad road, and muttered, “It turned out to be a classmate.”

~ 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.”
