~ KILLING A HUNDRED FLOWERS AFTER BLOOMING ~ 

In Liulan Courtyard, most of the guests had already arrived. They were talked together in groups of twos or threes, and among them, the Eldest Madam had gathered the most people.

“Madam Meng, Miss Mu’s good name is now widely spread throughout the Capital. Even the Emperor has specially bestowed her with a reward. If such a young miss were to appear in any family, it would be a great honor for them.”

“Yeah, she’s able to take out 100,000 silver easily. Even with our background, it’s impossible for us to take out 100,000 silver and give it to others.”

“Or is it that Miss Mu will receive a reward from the Emperor again?”

Even though the Eldest Madam’s anger had already risen from her heart, there was still a smile on her face, and it was difficult to read her thoughts, “That little girl Yunyao is indeed very well-behaved and sensible, and her heart is also very kind. After coming to the residence, she has gotten along exceptionally well with her sisters, and Yuyi likes her very much.”

“Speaking of Yu Yi, you really treasured this daughter of yours. Normally, you rarely let her attend banquets, and even if she did go, she would only be able to communicate with each other wore that familiar veil. Today, you must bring her over so that we can have a look.”

“That’s right. Rumor has it said that Yuyi is both talented and beautiful. She is also the jewel of the Su family. Today, we must definitely gamble on the brilliance of this precious daughter.”

“That kid, Yuyi, is usually quiet and doesn’t like to move. Furthermore, she has to study the rules in residence and also help me manage the family affairs. Naturally, she doesn’t have that much time to go out and play.” Talked of her own daughter, the Eldest Madam’s smile became even more genuine. “But since you all said so, today I will let her come out and pay her respects to everyone.”

“That’s great. it just so happens that my daughter is also here and bring them over to let them know and recognize each other.”

The topic of Grand Princess Yi De wanted to pick the right lady and place it in the name of her lost daughter had already been spread throughout the Capital. Everyone who was able to attend the banquet today was clear and understood the purpose of the Eldest Madam’s actions. However, many people want to hold that flower palanquin. The Su family had hosted the banquet, and no one will speak straight out in front of them.

The Eldest Madam instructed Qi Mama behind her, “Go and invite the Eldest Miss over. Tell her not to be busy in the back.”

“Yes, Madam.”

Many ladies called their daughters over and sat in the hall to wait for Su Yuyi.

At this time, all the nurturing servants in the Capital were not easy to invite, and all the residences were wholeheartedly urging their daughters to study the rules. The Emperor had already put down his word and asked the officials had to bring their female relatives during the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. The meaning is obvious. Isn’t it just to let these officials take their daughters over to see if their daughter can enter the eyes of Grand Princess Yide?

Therefore, the young ladies who had gathered here at this moment were all dignified and elegant. Their every move was extraordinary and beautiful, just like they were a hundred flowers competing with each other, causing people to be entranced upon seeing them.

Not long after, Qi Mama hurried back. “Reporting to the Eldest Madam, the Eldest Miss has arrived.”

Everyone turned to look at the door and saw a young girl who looked like a fairy carrying a stream of light. Her hair tied into a bun, with beautiful eyebrows, bright lips, and white teeth … She was wearing a long skirt made of thin water smoke, With a complete set of jasper exquisite butterfly steps. When she walked, the golden butterfly gently fluttered as if it could fly away with its wings in the blink of an eye.

“Greetings, Mother. Greetings, Madams.” She slowly stood still as if a hundred flowers bloomed around her. For a moment, it was as like that the sun and moon had lost their luster.

The young ladies who had initially thought of a competition all had stiff faces at this time, almost not daring to believe their own eyes. They had heard that the Eldest Miss of Su Family is beautiful for a long time, but they had never thought that this person would be exquisite to such an extent!

Many of the young ladies lowered their heads. They couldn’t even muster up the slightest thought of fighting with Su Yuyi. In fact, if it was possible, they didn’t even want to stand together with Su Yuyi. Many of them were first-rate beauties, but no matter how beautiful they were, they couldn’t be compared to the fairies.

“Madam Meng is so lucky.”

“That’s right. Isn’t it a good blessing to have such a fairy-like daughter?” They could all imagine just how eye-catching the Eldest Miss of the Su family would be during the Mid-Autumn Festival’s palace banquet. At that time, who could contend against her?

Su Yuyi felt a bit embarrassed after being praised. She bowed to the other ladies again, “Ladies, you’re too kind.”

The Eldest Madam gestured for Su Yuyi to stand beside her. She was so satisfied and stretched out her hand to pull her, “Ladies, don’t praise her anymore. Yuyi has always been thin-skinned. If you keep talking, I’m afraid she won’t be able to show her face.”

Lady Jin sat at the side and looked at the amazement in Su Yuyi’s eyes. She felt more worried about Su Qing and Mu Yunyao in her heart.

She had heard quite a lot about the Su family after she had come to the Capital, and she had also heard some things about this Eldest Madam’s style of doing things. Her reputation had always been good outside and been a virtuous woman. From the Old Madam in the Su family to the family’s maidservants, there is no one who does not praise for her a good sentence. But in her opinion, the more so, the deeper this person is. She really doesn’t know how Su Qing and Yunyao live here.

As she was thinking, she suddenly heard a servant enter and report, “Madam, Madam Su, and Miss Mu are here.”

Everyone in the hall immediately looked towards the door. Having Su Yuyi made them lose all their confidence. If that Mu Yunyao is also so impressive, then it would really make them despair.

Mu Yunyao followed behind Su Qing and slowly walked into the hall. When she saw Lady Jin, her eyes lit up, and she gently nodded her head.

Looking at Mu Yunyao’s appearance, Lady Jin couldn’t help but smile. Although they hadn’t been apart for long, in her heart, she was already missing Mu Yunyao a lot. In just a few months, Yunyao had changed quite a bit. In particular, her spiritual aura was even stronger than before. She was really wondering what will happen to her when she fully matures? What will she look like being?

Mu Yunyao followed Su Qing and bowed. The calm and tranquil atmosphere exuded from her body caused people to be amazed.

“This is Miss Mu?” Didn’t they say that this Mu Yunyao was born and bred in the rural area? However, her bearing was not something that an ordinary family could cultivate. How could it be grown up in the countryside?

“Yunyao greets the various madams.”

“Miss Mu need not be so courteous.”

Mu Yunyao dressed in a jade-green skirt with a peony embroidered just like Su Yuyi. It was just that her beauty wasn’t revealed in such an intense manner, just like the haze of blue water gauze on the outside. Her head jewelry is also simple. The jade hairpin was matched with a thin piece of white pearl, not specifically out of the ordinary but absolutely natural, making people feel comfortable from the inside to the outside.

Su Yuyi’s beauty is like a proud fairy, as though she was the only peerless beauty in the world. Her entire body brimmed with the aura of killing a hundred flowers after blooming, and her sharp gaze made people not dare to look straight at her.

On the other hand, Mu Yunyao was totally different. Her beauty was breathtaking, as though she gathered the spirit of the mountains and rivers of Jiangnan. Her gentle and soft appearance was even more soundless.

Her appearance could not compare to Su Yuyi’s, but for some reason, when the two of them stood together, they did not lose their luster like the others. Especially her skin. It was so fair and tender that it seemed as if one could pinch water out of it. Her entire body emitted a charming and beautiful color, causing people to be unable to shift their gaze away.

~ SU YOU GIVES CLOTHES ~ 

Mu Yunyao didn’t pay any attention when she met with Su You before. The Su family is hosting a banquet. Nominally they want to celebrate her being rewarded by the Emperor and welcome them back to the Su family. The list of the invited guests and the display of the big family all reveal an unusual flavor.

But she merely didn’t expect Su You would bring someone to the Jiyue Pavilion on the night before the banquet.

Mu Yunyao put down the brush in her hand and covered the calligraphy paper before asking Jin Lan to invite the person inside.

Su you walked into Mu Yunyao’s room, looked back and forth for a moment, couldn’t help but slightly snort, “Are you lying to me?”

Mu Yunyao blinked her eyes in confusion, “Elder sister Su You asked this right after entering the door. How have I lied to you?”

Su You glared at Mu Yunyao, her pale face flushed red from anger. “You said that you don’t have any clothes to wear, but I can see that the furnishings in your room are very luxurious. Could it be that you spent all your silver on this?”

Mu Yunyao looked at the maidservants behind Su You. They were holding a tray in their hands, and on the tray was a sewn set of clothes, “You … You actually helped me prepare clothes?”

That day, she only felt that Su You’s thoughts were simple and that her eyes were wide open, similar to the Snow Fox on the table. She teased Su You a little, but she didn’t expect the other party to take it seriously.

Su You stomped her feet. Just as she was about to say something, she felt her throat blocked up and her hands pressed against her chest to breathe.

Mu Yunyao was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to support her. While helping her breathe normally, she reached out and pressed on the acupoint on her chest. “Don’t be anxious. Breathe in slowly. Everything will be fine very soon.”

The hand holding her is very warm, and the place where Mu Yunyao held onto was very sore, but it alleviated her turbulent nausea and discomfort. Not long after, Su You slowly recovered from it, and she shouted at the maidservants and mama that surrounded her to get her water and impatiently drank it. She looked at Mu Yunyao with a pleased expression, “Just now, you … are you scared?”

Mu Yunyao helped Su You to sit down, and when she saw the look of pride in her eyes, she couldn’t help but feel helpless, “That’s right, I was indeed frightened by you.”

“I know, you’re afraid that I won’t be able to catch my breath and die at your place. After that, my mother and father will definitely not let you go, and you’ll have to pay with your life.”

When Mu Yunyao heard the words, she couldn’t help but stretched out her hand and patted Su You’s head, “Don’t worry, you won’t die for a while by looking at your appearance. Before you’re dead, I’ll make a big noise and disturb all the people in residence. With so many people present, you’ll have nothing to do with me if you die.”

The mama behind Su You couldn’t help but reveal an angry expression. How could this Mu Yunyao curse the Fifth Miss like that?

Su You, however, did not mind. After being stunned for a while, she suddenly clapped her hands and laughed: “Is that a solution? It seems like you really are an idiot, and you should get someone to carry me out before I die so that you can get rid of this relationship a little faster.”

“Alright, if you are to be sick again next time, I will follow the method you taught me.”

“Hmph, it’s not like you have anything nice to look at it. Coming here this time is enough and will definitely not come again in the future. Lu Liu, give her that piece of clothing. I am afraid that there won’t be any clothes to wore tomorrow.” After she spoke, Su You stood up and coughed softly twice. It looked like she seemed to be very disgusted, “The fragrance you have over here is also bad. It seems like you’ve really spent all your silver on decorating. You’re not living meticulously. I can’t stay any longer, so let’s go.”

After which, she walked out.

Jin Qiao stood at the side and was stunned by what she saw. “Could it be that Miss Fifth come here to get revenge?”

Mu Yunyao walked to the side of the table and picked up the clothes on the tray. The entire set of the skirt was very exquisite, and the style was also exceptionally extraordinary. It was divided into two layers, inner and outer layers. The inner layer used high-quality silk brocade, the silk was white in color, embroidered with a beautiful pattern of butterflies piercing flowers. The outer layer was made of the finest jade-green silk, and the dress was a jade-green color. The designs and patterns on it also softened a little, making it seem fresh and refined.

Jin Lan helped to spread out her clothes. After looking at it, she couldn’t help but reveal a surprised expression. “This Luo dress is so beautifully made. It seems like it’s not made in a short period of time.”

Mu Yunyao stretched out her hand to stroke the jade-green water outer, her eyes revealing a complicated expression. “Carefully put it away. I’ll wear this to the banquet tomorrow.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Jin Qiao placed the clothes on the shelf, and Jin Lan helped Mu Yunyao untie her hair. “Miss, that Fifth Miss … You seem to like her very much?”

Mu Yunyao looked at herself up in the bronze mirror and couldn’t help but slightly smile. “Perhaps it’s because we’re both in the same boat.”

“Sympathize with each other?” Jin Lan was slightly confused.

“It’s just a feeling. I can’t explain it clearly.”

Seeing that Mu Yunyao didn’t want to speak anymore, Jin Lan tactfully stopped asking and gently smoothed her hair, “Miss, you are going to attend the banquet tomorrow, so you’ll have a rest earlier today.”

“Got it. You guys can go down as well.”

Lying on the bed, Mu Yunyao slightly turned around and set her gaze on the clothes hanging by the bed. If her guess was not wrong, the clothes should have been prepared by the Second Madam for Su You to wear when at the came out age ceremony. The ceremony has not been carried out all the time. There wasn’t much of a difference in shape in their bodies, just a slight modification, and it became her size.

When she saw Su You, she felt as if she saw herself in a previous life struggling to live. The feeling of trying hard to breathe, yet still being unable to stand up to the footsteps of death, of being alive was enough to make people go crazy. However, Su You was luckier than her in her previous life because she has parents who love her every possible way. Although the journey is difficult, it’s good that someone supports her behind her back.

Mu Yunyao closed her eyes and covered up the complicated emotions in her eyes. She sighed lightly, “I owe her a dress today, which is to say, I owe her a debt of gratitude. I’ll find an opportunity to return it some other day.”

Banquet was held as scheduled the next day.

As there were quite a few people invited to the banquet, the location was decided to be at Liulan Courtyard in the East Courtyard, where the place was spacious, and the scenery was beautiful. It was also filled with autumn chrysanthemums, making it very convenient to enjoy the flowers.

Mu Yunyao put on her clothes and tidied up before heading to Su Qing’s place.

Su Qing looked at Mu Yunyao’s face, and her expression finally relaxed a little. “After resting for the past two days, the wounds have finally healed. If you don’t look carefully, you won’t be able to tell much.”

“It wasn’t too bad anyway.” Mu Yunyao helped Su Qing straighten her sleeves and looked at her beautiful appearance. She couldn’t help but praise her mother, “My mother is so beautiful.”

“Did you eat honey today? Why are your words sounding so nice?”

“Mother was originally a good person. What I said was from the heart, so I didn’t specifically say anything nice to hear.”

Su Qing couldn’t hold back her laughter. She was still a bit worried, “I wonder who we’ll meet at today’s banquet.”

“Mother, you don’t have to worry too much. We don’t know most of the people who come. When that happens, you only need to talk to my adoptive mother. You don’t have to worry about anything else.” The Eldest Madam’s purpose for hosting this banquet was clearly impure, and she wouldn’t be so kind as to let her and her mother be the main characters of this banquet.

“Yes, Mother understands.”

~ AWKWARD SU YOU ~ 

“You … How can you do that? It ... It was not doing it on purpose. Isn’t it just a set of clothes? I’ll compensate you for how much silver it costs.” The young girl looked at the Snow Fox and gave a slight snort.

“I’ve not lacked in silver. If you call me Elder Sister, then you won’t need to pay for my clothes as to the Snow Fox. How about it?”

“Hmph, I am not calling you Elder Sister, and you should be the one calling me that. I am the Fifth Miss in residence, Su You, and am older than you by three months!” As Su You finished speaking, her eyes swept over to Mu Yunyao from time to time, “As a younger sister, you should respect your older sister. So, don’t make it difficult for that fox.”

Seeing Su You’s expression, Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but have the thought of teasing her and purposely put on a sad appearance: “As an older sister, you want to make things difficult for your younger sister? My clothes have been cut by this fox. I might not even have clothes to wear anymore, yet you don’t want me to make things difficult for it?”

“You …” Su You seemed to be shocked by her appearance and couldn’t help but take half a step behind before quickly walking back, “I didn’t say I’m not going to compensate you. Why are you crying? The girl’s crying is the most annoying thing. When I come back, I will ask my mother to send me a dozen sets of clothes, and you can wear them in turns.”

Mu Yunyao suddenly laughed and blinked at Su You. She didn’t look sad at all, “Then I’ll thank Elder Sister.”

Su You was stunned for a moment and then realized that she had been tricked. She couldn’t help but glare at Mu Yunyao, but she didn’t say anything else. She then turned around and left with her people.

Mu Yunyao couldn’t hold back her laughter.

After Su Qing heard the commotion, she walked out. She then saw Su You leading her people away from the door, “Who just came here??”

“She is Second Aunt’s daughter. The Fifth Miss of the residence, Elder Sister Su You.”

“Su You? I heard that she was not in good health. She was often ill and couldn’t get out of the house. Why did she come, and why didn’t you ask her to stay longer?”

“Although the weather is clear today, it’s windy. Elder Sisters’ body isn’t in good health. If she were to sit here for a while, she would definitely have a fever when she comes back, which will make Second Aunt worried.”

After hearing that, Su Qing couldn’t help but sigh, “How could she be so ill? That child is also a pitiful person. Yao’er, you also know medicine. Can her disease be cured?”

Mu Yunyao’s smile faded. Actually, in her previous life, she had never met Su You, but she had heard that there was such a sickly young miss in the second house. Usually, she would be blown down by the wind or get sick from the rain, and she had to call the doctor if there is a slight change in the weather. Later, Su You died of illness, which made the second house of the Su family depressed for a long time.

In this life, Mu Yunyao initially thought that she wouldn’t have any contact with Su You. But she didn’t expect that she would actually come to Jiyue Pavilion.

“I just met her in a hurry, so I couldn’t tell how many problems there were. The Second Aunt has always asked the imperial physician to treat her. With the imperial physician’s medical skills, it shouldn’t be a problem.”

“True.” Su Qing also did not want to reveal Yunyao’s knowledge of medicine because of Su You. Besides, with so many imperial physicians who could do nothing about it, Yunyao probably would not be able to do anything either.

Jin Qiao walked in with a face full of joy. “Miss, your servant has left the residence today to investigate. The news of how Jingling City gave back to the people has already spread throughout the Capital. Everyone is praising Miss for her kindness!”

Mu Yunyao smiled, “After spending so much effort, I finally managed to get some rewards. How’s the arrangement on Liu Liang?”

“Liu Liang has already selected a place, and it was initially an embroidery workshop. The location is good, but the price requested is a bit expensive. Now they are still talking about it. I think we will have good news soon.”

Mu Yunyao nodded. “That’s good. I should open Ni Yun Fang in the Capital earlier. Not to mention anything else, it would be more convenient for me to dress.”

Su Qing stretched out her hand and pointed at the space between her eyebrows, then said, “Look at how many clothes there are in your closet, but you still want to wear clothes with all your heart. There are so many clothes in your closet that you haven’t even touched them yet!”

“Yes, Mother has taught me a lesson. Later, I will take out all of those clothes and wear them next to each other.”

“You naughty girl, stop playing around with the ginseng. You are actually looking down on good things. Jin Lan, you put these medicine materials away and let the Snow Fox take them away later.”

Mu Yunyao casually threw the ginseng in her hand back into the tray. “Find a box and carefully place it inside. Who knows, it might still be useful in the future.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Su You had been fuming ever since she returned to the West Courtyard. When Second Madam saw her like this, she couldn’t help but be curious, “Didn’t you go out for a stroll? Why are you back so quickly?”

“I’m already out of breath from the tour, so what’s the point of staying outside?”

The Second Madam’s eyes turned cold when she heard this. “Who gave you such a hard time? Tell your mother. Mother will definitely get it back for you!”

Su You pursed her lips, coldly snorting to herself, “Mother, in a while, go and find a few satins and silks. I want to make some clothes.”

Su You rarely asked for things of her own accord, as the Second Madam helped her arrange the clothes and jewelry. She wears whatever she gives and never talks about it even if she feels uncomfortable. Such temperament has often caused the Second Madam to have a headache. However, today she took the initiative to make clothes, which makes the Second Madam couldn’t help to feel both surprised and happy. “What kind of clothes do you want me to make? Do you want to have good patterns and colors? Your skin is white, so Mother thinks that red is perfect for you.”

Su You was still fuming when she heard this, and her tone sounded very awkward. “Merely find me some white, blue, and light purple ones. I don’t want those big red or green ones. That little girl can’t wear those festive colors right now.”

The Second Madam was stunned. “What little girl are you talking about?”

Su You’s voice unconsciously rose as if she had been stepped on, “Isn’t that Mu Yunyao is younger than me, then she’s just the little girl? Cough cough …” Perhaps she was too anxious and couldn’t stop coughing.

The Second Madam hurriedly stepped forward to help her caress her back: “Yes, yes, she is indeed a little girl, but how did she provoke you?”

After Su You finished coughing, she did not throw a tantrum like usual, but she instead snorted coldly and explained, “I am her elder sister, and I am just letting her win. She is an inexperienced person and doesn’t even have a single piece of clothing to wear. No, I only feel distressed to death by a snow fox cutting a few clothes. I only look at her pitifully and reward her for some clothes to wear.”

The Second Madam clenched her fist abruptly, nodded, and said, “You’re right. Yunyao is indeed really pitiful. She has been living outside for many years. She just arrived in this family and was slapped by the arrogant and domineering Meng Yanran with an excuse. Now her face is still bruised!”

Su You frowned: “That girl is useless. I will definitely teach her the rules someday.” Looking at her sharp teeth, she didn’t expect to be inadequate and would be bullied. Didn’t even know that it was making things up to protect themselves?

~ SISTERHOOD ~ 

The Eldest Madam didn’t mean much to blame. She patted her hand with a smile: “Your father is also very optimistic about His Highness Third Prince, but now that His Majesty’s health is in good health and the situation of the court is unclear, there are many things that cannot be easily said. Mother has painstakingly hidden you for so many years, so it is time for you to amaze everyone.”

Su Yuyi’s eyes flashed with excitement. “Mother, do you mean that the time has come?”

Everyone in the Capital knew that the Su family’s eldest daughter, Su Yuyi, was talented and attractive, but very few people were really able to see her. The Eldest Madam had put in a lot of effort for her daughter. She knew that her appearance was a powerful weapon, but such a weapon must be displayed at the most appropriate time to come out to be invincible. It was just like a priceless Luminous Pearl that could only be found once in a hundred years. If one were to spend the entire day in a room with it, no matter how valuable it was, it wouldn’t be precious again.

Things were precious when they were rare, and beauties were too!

The Eldest Madam nodded slightly. “I was thinking of letting you appear after the situation has been resolved, but who knew that Princess Yi De would suddenly spread the word that she wanted to find a suitable girl to be fostered in the name of her lost daughter. It is a rare occurrence. Naturally, we cannot miss out on such a good opportunity.”

“Don’t worry, Mother. I will live up to your expectations.”

“Good.”

The next morning, Mu Yunyao, who had just finished her breakfast with Su Qing, heard Jin Lan’s report. “Madam, Miss, Eldest Miss is here.”

The mother and daughter looked at each other. Mu Yunyao smiled slightly and said, “Mother, I’ll personally welcome my elder sister.”

“Alright.”

Su Yuyi had already prepared herself for Mu Yunyao to make things difficult for her. However, she didn’t expect that the moment she stood in the courtyard, she would see Mu Yunyao with a smile on her face coming out: “Greetings, Elder Sister.”

“Little Sister Yunyao quickly gets up.” Su Yuyi carefully examined Mu Yunyao’s face, her eyes filled with concern, “The wounds on your face seem to have lightened a bit compared to yesterday. How’s the injury on your body? Does it still hurts badly?”

“It’s just that I’ve been beaten twice. Because I have been weak since I was young, I can’t withstand it. That’s why it looks a little more serious. If it placed on ordinary people, I presume it wouldn’t be much of a problem.”

“Little sister is very delicate. In the future, you must take extra care to recuperate, so I have prepared some medicinal materials to apologize to Little sister.” As Su Yuyi spoke, her eyes filled with sadness. Her long eyelashes reflected the sunlight on her flawless cheeks. She looked as beautiful as a fairy. “At that time, I did not make a decision immediately and believed too much in Yanran’s words. I misunderstood you and caused you to be slapped. Not only did you receive a slap, you even received two planks. I am truly sorry …”

Mu Yunyao smiled. “Elder Sister is right, you didn’t know about this matter from the beginning to the end, so naturally, you can’t be blamed. Who would have thought that a noble girl like Miss Meng would actually condescend to use such a despicable method to frame me?”

“It’s good that Little Sister isn’t angry. I hope that Little Sister can take these medicine materials. It can help you to recuperate and get better.”

“Then I will not be polite with Elder Sister. Thank you very much, Elder Sister.”

“You and I are good sisters, so there’s no need to be polite.” Su Yuyi smiles, just like a peony in full bloom. “Today, in addition to apologizing to Little Sister, I also want to ask if you have any guests that would like to be invited. Mother is preparing a banquet to welcome Aunt and you, and the invitation will be sent out in the afternoon.”

“When Mother and I didn’t know many people when we first came in the Capital. We were only sending an invitation to the inspector general’s office to Lord Cao. There is no need for anything else.”

“Alright, I’ll tell Mother when I came back and asked her to draft up the invitation and send it over as soon as possible. You’ve only been in the Capital for a short while, so you don’t know many people. However, you will slowly get familiar with them after a few more banquets. If I receive any invitations in the future, I will definitely invite you to go with me.” Su Yuyi intimately pulled on Mu Yunyao with a smile that like the bright and shining morning glow.

Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but sigh in her heart. No wonder Su Yuyi had walked so smoothly in her previous life and had such an appearance, even in the Nine Heavens Dragon Gate, there would still be people lying on the ground, doing their best to protect her. They would desperately send her straight into the sky, and they would even have to sacrifice everything in exchange for her smile.…

“Thank you, Elder Sister.”

After showing her good intentions, Su Yuyi led her servants and left in a mighty manner. Mu Yunyao stood in the courtyard looking at her back, and the corners of her lips revealed a mocking smile.

Back then, she wasn’t loved by the Old Madam. When she was struggling in the Su family’s backyard, this young miss had walked over with such a smile and affectionately held her hands as she spoke about their sisterhood. Who could have thought that behind her words that kept talking about sisterhood, there was a poisoned sword.

Su Yuyi had torn off her hypocritical face just because she had unintentionally gotten a compliment from the Third Prince. One poison sword after another had pierced down, almost taking her life.

The love between sisters was deep, but in reality, it wasn’t really worth a damn.

Mu Yunyao gathered her thoughts. Seeing the medicinal materials in Jin Lan and Jin Qiao’s hands, she made them put the herb into the pavilion beside the lotus pond. She casually picked up plump ginseng and dragged it on the table.

The Snow Fox jumped over. Seeing Mu Yunyao’s actions, it slightly lowered its body and shook its ears as if it was making threatening noises at the ginseng as if it was treating it as its prey.

Mu Yunyao chuckled and took the ginseng to tease the Snow Fox while watching her bounce around on the table. Just as she thought this was interesting, he suddenly heard a somewhat arrogant voice in her ear. “What are you doing?”

Mu Yunyao stopped her actions and looked over. She saw a young girl with eyes full of arrogance.

The girl was not tall and was very slender, even a bit weaker than her. Because she was so thin and frail, her eyes exceptionally looked big. She slightly raised her eyebrows, looking over with a wild and untamed gaze, as well as hidden a bit of curiosity.

Mu Yunyao slightly tilted her head, leaned on the table, and supported it with one hand. The snow fox climbed up her other arm, crouched on top of her shoulder, and stared at the girl. “Who are you? How come I’ve never seen you before?”

The young girl’s gaze swept back and forth between Mu Yunyao and the Snow Fox. She pursed her lips slightly, the arrogance in her eyes becoming even more intense. “You should call me Elder Sister!”

“Nonsense, you’re not even taller than me, and you’re also much skinnier than me. You should be the one calling me Elder Sister!” Mu Yunyao chuckled. The Snow Fox on her shoulder also rolled away and almost fell to the ground.

The young girl’s eyes widened, and she almost cried out when she saw the Snow Fox falling down. Fortunately, the Snow Fox was smart and agile, so it stretched out her paws to grab Mu Yunyao’s clothes, but it accidentally left a scratch on the beautifully embroidered fabrics.

Mu Yunyao reached out and took the back of the Snow Fox’s neck and put it on the table: “You’ve damaged my clothes. Think about how to compensate. If you can’t afford it, I’ll take off your fur to make a collar.”

NB: Sorry, I couldn't update yesterday, so today I will upload 2 chapters. Happy reading.

~ BORROW MU YUNYAO’S INFLUENCE ~ 

“Shut up!” The Eldest Madam looked over with a fierce gaze and muttered to Su Yuyi, “Didn’t Mother tell you? You had to be careful even when you were at home. What chills is not chilling. Putting in a nice word, he’s a minister. But in reality, he is just a slave raised by the Emperor. If the slave dared to intervene in the affairs of the master, it was already a great favor for the Emperor to not let his hand be chopped off. Your grandfather was good at everything, but he was too easily provoked.”

“Grandfather was also very anxious. For all these years, Imperial Concubine De’s had served the Emperor. She could be described as a sacred favorite. Who would have thought that she would never have a child? If not, my grandfather’s family would not be in such a predicament.”

“Alright, these things have already become a foregone conclusion. Now that there’s no way to change it, there’s no point in talking about it.” The Eldest Madam raised a hand to rub her forehead and frowning fiercely. “Get someone to call your elder brother over. He previously warned me not to underestimate Mu Yunyao, but I didn’t take it to heart at the time. Now it seems like he should know something.”

“Yes, Daughter will have someone to invite Elder Brother now.”

Su Qingwu came over soon: “Greetings, Mother.”

“Get up and sit down. Have you finished dinner?”

Su Qingwu nodded. “I’ve already finished. But I can see that the food on the table hasn’t been touched yet. Is Mother unable to eat them?”

The Eldest Madam’s face was full of worry, but she didn’t say anything and only shook her head slightly.

Su Yuyi, who was standing at the side, said, “Elder Brother, you saw it too. Today, Mother’s face was torn off and stepped onto the ground by Mu Yunyao. How could she still be in the mood to eat?”

“Mother, I just received news that the reason the Emperor summoned Mu Yunyao is that she took the lead in donating one hundred thousand taels of silver in Jingling City.”

“How much did you say? One hundred thousand taels?” The Eldest Madam sat up straight with a fierce look in her eyes. “I heard Liu Mama and the rest say had said before that Mu Yunyao had taken the lead in donating silver in Jingling City. She also said that Mu Yunyao had bought food to feed the people of Jingling City. Doesn’t it mean that t that the local gentry and rich families in Jingling City had donated most of the silver?”

“It’s likely that Liu Mama and the rest who don’t understand the truth.” When the Eldest Madam thought about it, she came to an understanding and fiercely slapped the table. “I understand. It must be Mu Yunyao’s scheme! Our Su family and the Li family have always been at loggerheads with each other. Li Munian is also an official in Jingling City. When Mu Yunyao wants to do something about it, it would be easy for her to deceive several servants. She must have purposely let Liu Mama and the others think that she just spent a little bit of silver, so when the servants sent the news over, I only listened for a bit and didn’t take it to heart. In fact, this is the day she was waiting for!”

Su Qingwu’s expression was calm, but his heart was pounding. “Mother, in the end, those underlings only have limited vision. Many things can’t be seen in the long run, so there will inevitably be some errors when they are reported. Today, the Emperor rewarded Mu Yunyao, and tomorrow her good reputation would spread throughout the entire Capital.”

Su Yuyi’s face turned ugly, “A hundred thousand silver taels, that Mu Yunyao is really willing to give it up.”

The Eldest Madam thought for a moment and asked, “The opening of Bi Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo only took a little more than a year, yet she has already earned that much silver?”

“You might not know about the other, Mothers. But you should remember the Spring Embroidery Workshop? Back then, the Spring Embroidery Workshop (Chun Xiu Fang) had Cai Yue Pavilion as its opponent, and it was still gaining gold every day. What’s more, Ni Yun Fang was a one-of-a-kind place, and none of the other shop and restaurant dared to try their luck, especially Bu Xian Luo.”

The Eldest Madam gently folded her fingers as if she wants to hold something in her hand: “Yuyi, you’re in the wrong regarding what happened that day. Tomorrow, you’ll bring a gift to your Cousin Yunyao to apologize.”

“Yes. I know, Mother.” Su Yuyi hesitated for a moment, but she still agreed.

The Eldest Madam raised her hand and caressed her hair. With a pained expression, she said, “I know that you must have felt wrong to let you bow your head to that country bumpkin, and it would definitely be unfair to you. But for the sake of your future, you must do this! Tomorrow, even if Mu Yunyao were to make things difficult for you in front of others, you have to bear with it. My daughter must be gentle and kind, understand?”

“Mother, you want me to use Mu Yunyao’s influence to spread my name?” Su Yuyi asked in a testing manner.

“That’s right. Your elder brother said just now that tomorrow, Mu Yunyao’s reputation will spread throughout the Capital. It’s the perfect time for you to take advantage of the wind to push yourself up.” The Eldest Madam’s dim eyes finally revealed a smile. She would come and take care of her after she was done using her power.

Su Yuyi nodded. The unwillingness in her eyes slowly disappeared and was replaced with a kind smile. Under the light of the candle flame, a trace of light could be seen in her beautiful eyes. It was like the bright moonlight, reflected on a Chinese osmanthus flower, captivating the soul with her mesmerizing beauty. “Mother, don’t worry. I know what I should do.

The Eldest Madam raised her lips, “Mother knows that you are unwilling, but it is worth it to be able to stand out in the Mid-Autumn Festival. No matter how much you handle, it is worthwhile. There is also one more thing, Mu Yunyao’s reputation will spread throughout the Capital, and at the same time, Meng Yanran’s name will become extremely bad. So, don’t associate with her in the future.

“Yes, Daughter understands.”

“Qingwu,” the Eldest Madam looked at Su Qingwu, “You and the Third Prince have a very great relationship, and the Third Prince can speak with the Grand Princess. Now that the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet is approaching, you should help out a bit more.”

“Mother, Grand Princess Yi De is not an ordinary person. She was able to accompany the Emperor on his journey from an unknown prince to an overlord. Her scope of vision could not be compared to ordinary people. If you truly wish to push my sister to the front of the Grand Princess, then don’t do too much, or it will backfire.”

The Eldest Madam thought for a moment and wrinkled her forehead, “I naturally know about what you have said. However, if she can’t stand out among so many noble young ladies in the Capital, how could Grand Princess Yi De pay attention to Yuyi?”

“With my little sister’s appearance, just sitting there without saying or doing anything is enough to amaze everyone.”

Hearing Su Qingwu’s praise, the smile in Su Yuyi’s eyes intensified. “Elder Brother, I’ve heard you talk about the Third Prince several times. I wonder what the other person is like?”

“His personality is firm and resolute, and his visions are much wider than ordinary people. In the end, he has been raised up by Grand Princess Yi De herself for a period of time. Many thoughts and insights that he had expressed were extremely admirable.”

Su Yuyi couldn’t help but sigh. “Not many people can get my Elder Brother’s praise. If only I had the chance to meet this third prince.”

The Eldest Madam turned around and looked at her reproachfully, “Yuyi, is that really something you can say?”

“Mother.” Su Yuyi hurriedly stepped forward and took the Eldest Madam’s arm, “I was only casually saying it. Who told let Elder Brother praise the Third Prince so highly?”

Incurable Chapter 20 Part 3

Huai Jing leaned her body back, stretched his slender legs, supported his arms on the sign behind, looked at Liu Qianxiu, and said: “I heard from Xu Xingkong that a woman came with you yesterday. Don’t you want to introduce her?”

Huai Jing’s introduction refers to Liu Qianxiu taking her to a meal with other friends, which was how Xu XingKong was introduced.

Standing up from his seat, Liu Qianxiu glanced at Huai Jing, who looked at him quietly. He was silent for a while, seeming to be thinking, and after a while, he said. “We’ll talk about it later.”

“Alright.”

After Liu Qianxiu had said that, Huai Jing didn’t ask anymore. It was how they got along. If there was anything to say, he would naturally say it. But if he didn’t, they didn’t need to know now.

Liu Qianxiu went to the stadium’s locker room to shower. After changing his clothes, he drove back to the Nanfeng Apartment. When Mu Wan sent a text message, he said he had gone home, and it was almost time to arrive.

His car was parked in the underground garage. Liu Qianxiu got out of the car with a sports backpack and a basketball, entered the elevator, and swiped the card. The elevator went up to the first floor and stopped when it reached the first floor.

As soon as the elevator door opened, Mu Wan stood outside.

She was looking at the multimedia advertisement next to the elevator. After hearing the sound of the elevator, she glanced in and saw Liu Qianxiu inside, her eyes bent.

Liu Qianxiu’s clothes today are sporty and casual, with a white T-shirt and black shorts. The simplicity is exquisite and expensive. He has white skin and is tall. He dressed like a male model on the show, with a simple suit of clothes.

He carried a black sports backpack on his left shoulder and a basketball in his right hand. He has a large palm and can hold the basketball with one hand. His fingers are slightly bent, his joints well-proportioned, and he looks slender.

Mu Wan once didn’t understand why so many girls liked boys playing basketball in high school, but she understands a little now. As long as you love that person, he is handsome in everything he does and makes your heart beat faster.

“Is this your basketball?” Mu Wan’s eyes jumped, and her gaze fell on the basketball in Liu Qianxiu’s hand.

“Yeah.” Liu Qianxiu replied.

Mu Wan looked at the light brown basketball and asked, “Can you let me try it? I’ve never played basketball before.”

It’s only five o’clock anyway, and she is not in a hurry to eat. It just rained in the morning, and now the rain has stopped, and the air is cool, quite suitable for playing basketball.

After Mu Wan finished speaking, she glanced at Liu Qianxiu, who had some requests in his eyes.

The elevator door was about to close because it had been open for a long time. When the elevator door moved, Liu Qianxiu held the door with his right hand and said as he walked out, “Let’s go.”

Mu Wan laughed, jumped slightly behind Liu Qianxiu, and happily followed him.

Nanfeng Apartment has a peculiar basketball court, and the sports venues in the high-end community are also very neatly constructed. The basketball court is next to the tennis court, surrounded by a layer of iron net.

The morning rain has not fully evaporated, and the surface of the basketball court is wet, but there’s no water left. At this point, the basketball court was empty, and two people entered through the door.

Mu Wan walked into the basketball court under the hoop and glanced at the high-up basket. She raised her hand a moment. Her white arm was far from the basket, but Mu Wan felt she had great athletic ability. She retracted her arm and said to Liu Qianxiu, who stood outside the three-point line: “Liu Qianxiu, I want the ball.”

After the rain, the soft female voice echoed on the court.

Liu Qianxiu threw the ball in his hand, which rolled to Mu Wan’s feet.

The sky was covered with thin clouds, and the air was wet and clean. On the vacant basketball court, a slender woman picked up a basketball, stood beside the blue basketball hoop, held it with both hands, aimed it at the basket, and threw it over.

With a “bang” sound, the light brown basketball hit the basketball board and fell off.

Mu Wan was not discouraged when she didn’t take a shot for the first time. She picked up the basketball and shook it twice at the basketball basket. Then, with both her arms, she threw the ball in again.

This time, it only touched the edge of the basket.

The light brown ball crossed a line in the clean air and finally bounced and fell behind her. She turned her head back, frowned her eyebrows, and panted lightly. Her lips were slightly open, moist, and bright red.

“Liu Qianxiu, I can’t get in.” Her voice was sweet, like ripe berries. She walked towards the basketball with her legs and said, “Can you throw it in?”

The ball rolled to Liu Quanxiu’s feet. He stood outside the white line and glanced at her calmly. He bent down slightly and grabbed the ball with one hand; the force made his knuckles a little white.

Mu Wan stood in the middle of the court, looked up at him, and asked uncertainly: “You stand so far. Can you throw in?”

Liu Qianzxiu has yet to respond to her. He put the basketball in his right hand, his wrist slightly bent back, and his dark eyes were like two bottomless springs in the moist air.

With the force of his wrist, the basketball broke away from his hand and flew over Mu Wan’s head. In an instant, Mu Wan turned her head back, and with a “bang” sound, the basketball went into the basket cleanly, just like Liu Qianxiu broke into her heart.

The basketball bounced on the ground, slapped against the clean area, and “banging” echoed on the empty basketball court.

Mu Wan’s eyes jumped on the light brown basketball, and when the basketball fell to the backboard, the court fell silent. She stared at it for a long while, then looked back at Liu Qianxiu. Under the dark clouds, the man was tall and leggy, and his eyes were as clean as water.

“Liu Qianxiu... Are you my god?” Mu Wan tilted her head to ask him, her eyes filled with bright stars. Then she smiled and said, “You seem to be able to do everything I can’t do.”

The sky is high, the clouds are thin, the wind is blowing the leaves, and some people’s hearts are trembling.

“I want to throw in too.” Mu Wan finished speaking, turned around, and trotted to pick up the basketball.m Her thin white fingers covered the sphere, while the roots were distinct, sharp, and beautiful. She took two steps back and got under the edge. She was hugged from behind just before she was about to throw the ball.

Mu Wan smelled the light mint fragrance, and her jaw trembled slightly.

Her body was gradually rising. Insight, the basket was getting closer to her as if it was within reach.

“Go ahead.” Liu Qianxiu said quietly behind her.

Her gods have come to help her.

The author has something to say: 

Liu Daochang: In order for you to become a god, or not.

Incurable Chapter 20 Part 2

Mu Wan had no schedule this weekend, so she slept until ten o’clock in the morning and called Lin Wei. Lin Wei answered, “Hi.” and asked, “Why do you have time to call me? Didn’t you accompany Liu Daochang?”

“I’ll go to him in the afternoon.” Mu Wan said, “He can’t be tired of me all day, or he will be annoyed.”

“Oh, you still know how to develop in a balanced way.”

“Don’t talk nonsense. Want you to eat hot pot or not?”

“Eat!”

“Go!”

The two made an appointment at the Sichuan Chongqing hot pot restaurant in the Jinze Building. It was still raining in the morning, and the weather was cold. There were many people in the well-decorated hot pot restaurant. After they arrived, the waiter showed Mu Wan and Lin Wei to the window seat. After sitting down, the two leaned against each other and began to order.

Holding a pencil, Mu Wan first sketched the bottom of the mandarin duck in the bottom of the pot.

The two of them have been friends for so many years. Because of their similar tastes, they have always enjoyed hot pot. Lin Wei looked at Mu Wan incredulously and said, “What do you want to eat?”

“I’ll have clear soup.” Mu Wan looked down and said, “I have become accustomed to the light flavor and can’t eat heavy flavors anymore.”

Lin Wei leaned back and looked at her.

Mu Wan squinted to meet her gaze and asked, “What are you doing?”

With a deep sigh, Lin Wei sighed and said, “You said you were going to seduce Liu Daochang. I didn’t see Daochang Liu stepping into the world of mortals, yet you are becoming increasingly indifferent. Don’t let you be influenced and become a fellow Taoist with Liu Daochang.”

The hot pot restaurant was bustling, and Mu Wan turned the pencil in her hand and said, “What’s wrong with a fellow Taoist? I will practice double cultivation with him if I become a fellow Taoist.”

Mu Wan didn’t speak very loudly. But after she finished speaking, the people at the neighboring table looked over.

Lin Wei’s expression was indescribable.

Mu Wan: “...What’s the matter?”

“Double cultivation does not mean that two people practice together, but it means... forget it, go back and check it yourself.”

“...”

Mu Wan didn’t wait to go back to check it. When the hot pot boiled, she searched for it. As soon as the interface came out, she opened the encyclopedia. The steam curled in the hot pot, and Mu Wan’s face was slightly hot.

Lin Wei bit the brown sugar glutinous rice cake. She watched Mu Wan’s face gradually turn red and laughed in her heart: this little chicken.

“Do you know what it means?” Lin Wei asked.

“I know.” Mu Wan drank the water and suppressed her dry anger. She told Lin Wei: “Different routes but have the same goal. Anyway, we still have to do double cultivation in the end.”

Lin Wei burst into laughter.

After the two laughed, Lin Wei seemed to think of something and said to her: “Hey, our studio recently took an order for Seaview Villa in South District. A house that is tens of millions.”

Lin Wei’s interior design studio specializes in high-end interior design, and clients are generally wealthy. However, this kind of order of tens of millions is still somewhat rare.

“Good thing.” Mu Wan also took a piece of glutinous rice cake and a bite. The sweetness made her soft. “The more expensive the house, the more money you earn.”

“Do you know who it belongs to?” When Lin Wei finished asking, she answered herself, “Mu Qing.”

Mu Wan raised her eyebrows after the bite.

When Mu Qing was in high school, she was in the same school as Lin Wei and Mu Wan. She also knew that the people in the Mu family were inseparable from the messy things. She snorted and said: “She took the initiative to find our studio. You said that after so many years, she has been hiding so well on the surface. How come she still can’t help but show off.”

Mu Qing knew Lin Wei was Mu Wan’s good friend, so she chose her studio.

“But the house’s signature doesn’t seem to be hers.” Lin Wei is an interior designer and knows a lot of people in real estate. She specifically checked it out. “It’s from Shen Cheng. They two are together?”

“Yeah.” Mu Wan said. “Mother Wu said that Shen Cheng had been to the Mu family’s house.”

“Yo.” Lin Wei Lin Wei had a strange yin and yang, “She can climb to the top.”

Somehow, Mu Wan felt Mu Qing was more than just showing off. She said to Lin Wei, “Have you already signed it?”

“Signed” Lin Wei raised her eyebrows. “There is nothing to be afraid of it. It’s just a house. At the worst is a breach of contract, but this old lady is a rich second generation.”

“Then, you can treat this meal today.” Mu Wan is a good friend.

Lin Wei: “...”

After having lunch with Lin Wei, the two strolled around the mall again. After she bought many clothes, Lin Wei sent Mu Wan back home. After getting home, Mu Wan bathed, collapsed on the bed because she was tired, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

When she woke up, it was four o’clock in the afternoon. Mu Wan sat cross-legged on the bed and sent a text message to Liu Qianxiu.

A basketball game finished, but there was still the sound of a basketball hitting the ground. The stadium was full of lights. Liu Qianxiu sat aside, looking up and drinking water.

He had just finished a game, sweating profusely. When he raised his head and drank water, beads of sweat ran down his Adam’s apple, which was refreshing and sexy after exercise.

The thin mineral water bottle wrapped in his slender hand is still in good condition. After drinking the water, Liu Qianxiu put the bottle aside, picked up his shirt, and wiped his sweat.

He has a thin body, but it is a firm figure. His white jersey lifted up. It revealed the tight muscle lines of his waist and abdomen, showing the impact of male hormones. However, his eyebrows are still light when the jersey is put down. Even after high-intensity exercise, his complexion is still cool and white, as if the body and spirit are separated without interfering.

After putting down the jersey, the mobile phone next to him rang. He stretched out his hand to take it, looked, put the phone away, and said to Huai Jing next to him: “I should go now.”

Huai Jing had just finished drinking water. His elbows rested on his knees, and he was sweaty. But he didn’t seem to be tired. His eyes were slightly loose. Hearing Liu Qianxiu’s words, he glanced at the time and asked: “What are you doing back so early?”

“Cooking.” Liu Qianxiu said.

Huai Jing: “...It’s only past four o’clock now.”

“Yeah.” Liu Qianxiu responded.

~ DO YOU LIKE YOUNG MASTER NING? ~ 

Mu Yunyao especially ordered two dishes for dinner. The kitchen didn’t dare to smuggle anything down, and the taste was also very delicious. Both mother and daughter pair ate very happily.

After the meal, Jin Lan and Jin Qiao brought some fragrant tea over. Both mother and daughter spoke to each other, “Yao’er, what happened in the Palace? How come the attitude of the Meng family and the Su family changed so much all of a sudden?”

Su Qing still had an unreal feeling, especially that Meng Yanran. Wasn’t she arrogant before? Why did she come to apologize today and ask Yunyao if she forgave her after getting slapped?

Mu Yunyao told Su Qing everything that had happened in the Palace today, thoughts running through her eyes, “... That is how I entered the Palace today roughly. In the beginning, the Emperor didn’t say anything, but later, when I was about to leave, he suddenly added a word that told me to fight back. When I got back, I thought about it. It must be something that the Meng family has done that has displeased the Emperor.”

“I think so too. After all, the Meng family is not the house of an ordinary official, and I’ve heard that the Imperial Concubine De is legitimate of Grand Preceptor Meng. Although she doesn’t have a son of her own and looks weak in the Palace, she can’t stand the favor of the Emperor, and she is in great limelight!”

Mu Yunyao was a little curious, “Where did Mother hear this from?”

“Si Qin told me.”

“Si Qin?”

Su Qing glanced at her reproachfully, “Although Mother grew up in the countryside and didn’t have much knowledge, I am not stupid. Not only did Si Qin and the other three girls have excellent skills, their manners and demeanor were also extraordinary. They definitely couldn’t have been bought from someone else by Liu Liang. Mother had thought about it carefully for a long time. The most likely outcome would be that these four girls were groomed by Young Master Ning.”

Mu Yunyao slightly pursed her lips. “I let Mother see that. I didn’t want to hide it from you at first, but I’m afraid that you won’t be able to trust these four girls in the future…”

“Yao’er, you … Are you really fallen for that Young Master Ning?” Su Qing felt that she should carefully plan things out. In another two months, Yunyao would come of age. They had no one to rely on, so they could not let the Su family interfere and ruin Yunyao’s second half of her life.

Mu Yunyao was stunned, then hurriedly shook her head. “Why would Mother think that? Me and him ... It’s absolutely impossible.”

Su Qing patted the back of her hand with a smile on her face. “Mother is also someone who has passed through the past. After some time, you will reach adulthood. It is not too early for you to think about your marriage. We’re also in the Capital now. Isn’t that Young Master Ning also here? If his background is not bad and he is interested in you as well. It just so happens that…”

Mu Yunyao quickly explained, “Mother, don’t let your imagination run wild. Young Master Ning and I are only working together to earn some silver. To put it nicely, we’re friends. To put it harshly, we’re just using each other.”

“Yao’er, your mother knows that because of the past, your mood is unavoidably heavy, but you can’t stop eating because of choking, you...”

“Mother, aren’t we talking about the Meng family? How did it come to that Young Master Ning? We are in the Su family now, and we can’t even stand firmly. How can we think about that? Besides, you see that Young Master Ning already in his early twenties! How old can you say the children are?”

“There aren’t children. I’ve asked around about it. Young Master Ning doesn’t even have a concubine to share a room with …”

“Mother, who did you ask about it from?” Had her mother misunderstood something and asked if Yue Wang had a concubine in his residence?

Su Qing coughed awkwardly, “I just chatted casually with Steward Qin and said a few words..”

Mu Yunyao was a little stunned. Steward Qin had avoided her several times when she met Yue Wang. Although his attitude wasn’t apparent, she could faintly feel the meaning of the matchmaking. When her mother and Steward Qin started to talk about this, who knew if Yue Wang turned around, how would he feel?

Su Qing looked at Mu Yunyao’s appearance and thought she was thin-skinned and embarrassed, so she tactfully changed the topic, “Yao’er, let’s talk about the Meng family. After today’s incident, I can see that Miss Meng’s gaze was really chilling when she left. She won’t come back to find faults in the future, right?”

Mu Yunyao came back to her senses, feeling that she was once again confused by Yue Wang, and she couldn’t help but feel a little annoyed, and she quickly put all her thoughts behind her: “Mother, don’t worry too much. Meng Yanran’s way of doing things is too overbearing. Even when treating her sisters in the family, she’s always bullied and spoiled them. Now that she suddenly lost her composure, how could those people she threatened easily let her go? There were also those ladies and concubines who only wished for their daughters to be pampered. Previously, when they were proud, they didn’t feel that it was right. However, when they were disappointed, they realized that they had made many enemies. What they should worry about is her.”

“Mn, then Mother is relieved now.”

However, Mu Yunyao understood that things would not end like this. Although she didn’t need to worry too much about Meng Yanran, the Meng Family would definitely hate her because of this, especially Imperial Concubine De in the Palace. Her heart has never been big. But these things haven’t happened yet, there was no need for her mother to worry about it, so there was no need to say anything else.

“The matter of the banquet has already been settled. I haven’t seen my adoptive mother for a long time. Speaking of which, I really miss her a bit.”

“That’s right. We can meet at the banquet.”

“Yes.”

Su Qing and Mu Yunyao chatted for a while before they both went back to rest.

However, the Eldest Madam was so angry that she couldn’t even eat a single mouthful in the room. Su Yuyi carefully sat on the side and said, “Mother, since it’s like this, there’s no point in thought too much. You’d better have something to eat.”

The Eldest Madam also understood this logic, but the more she thought about Mu Yunyao slapping Meng Yanran, the angrier she felt. She angrily threw the chopsticks in her hand away, “I’ve been beating geese all day. Who would’ve thought that the geese would peck back at their eyes?” Who would have thought that a girl from the countryside could act so arrogantly?”Mother, it’s all your daughter’s fault. If I hadn’t been so anxious to invite Cousin Yanran over, things wouldn’t have developed to this point.”

“I don’t blame you. Even if Meng Yanran didn’t get involved in this matter, Mu Yunyao would think of something else. She wanted to use this opportunity to establish her prestige in the Su family, from the master to the servants, so no one would dare to look down on her and Su Qing anymore!”

“Mother, your daughter really doesn’t understand. Why would the Emperor agree to let her beat up Cousin Yanran?”

“A few days ago, when checking the salt tax, the Li family met with trouble. Your grandfather also heard some provocations from somewhere and secretly attacked the First Prince. But not only did she not succeed, she instead stole the chicken and ate the rice, causing the First Prince to come to the Emperor and cry about how miserable he was. The Emperor dislikes party disputes the most, so it was inevitable that he had a grudge against the Meng family in his heart. This time, it is just a warning.”

“No matter what, my aunt has served the Emperor in the Palace for many years. The Meng family has also made a lot of contributions to the court. The Emperor’s move is really chilling!”

~ PUNISH THE SERVANTS ~ 

Meng Yu left in a fit of anger. Meng Yanran, who was behind him, lowered her head, but the palm imprint on her face was too apparent for others that it was hard not to notice.

The servants lowered their heads and did not dare to breathe. They quickly recalled if they had offended Madam Su Qing and Young Madam Biao for some reason. After discovering that there was no such thing, they heaved a sigh of relief.

Mu Yunyao moved her finger lightly. The strength that had been used in that slap just now was not small, and even her palm still faintly ached now.

Su Wenyuan’s expression was cold. The lively atmosphere caused by Mu Yunyao’s reward just now had disappeared without a trace. “Everyone disperse.”

“Wait a minute.” The moment Mu Yunyao opened her mouth, everyone felt their scalp go numb. They all turned their heads to look at her, especially the Eldest Madam. Her gaze was even sharper than a sharp blade.

“Yunyao, what else do you want?” Wasn’t beating Meng Yanran enough to humiliate her and the Meng family’s face? What else do you want to do?

Mu Yunyao walked up and slightly bent down in a bow: “Eldest Uncle, Eldest Aunt, everyone who was present, heard what Miss Meng said just now. She said that she deliberately framed me that day, and it had nothing to do with me, which means I am innocent. Aunt should understand this logic, right?”

The Eldest Madam gritted her teeth and forced herself to keep the expression on her face, “Yes.”

Mu Yunyao smiled in satisfaction. “Since it’s like this, then shouldn’t some debts be settled already?”

How to settle debts? What does she want to rectify?

The Eldest Madam looked at Mu Yunyao in bewilderment, her eyes carrying a strong sense of admonishment. “Yunyao, who do you want to count with?”

“Naturally... The servants who hurt me? Whom does the Eldest Aunt think I will count with?” Mu Yunyao looked at her with a smile.

The Eldest Madam was so furious, but she couldn’t get angry. When Mu Yunyao came out of the Palace, the Meng family came to apologize. There must be some reasons they didn’t know. Before they made it clear, they couldn’t casually make a move on Mu Yunyao. “Fine. Someone, bring up the two old maids who beat up Young Miss Biao that day!”

Soon, the old maids, who were carrying the court stick that day, were forced to kneel on the ground. “Mercy Old Madam, mercy Eldest Madam…”

The Old Madam, who had been silent all this time, rubbed the Buddhist beads in her hand. “I’ve just received the imperial edict from the Emperor. It’s so noisy, and it really doesn’t seem right. Stuffed their mouths shut.”

“Old Madam … Woo woo …” The two old maids’ faces looked frightened. They wanted to say something, but they were stopped. Their mouths could only groan as they continuously kowtowed in the direction of the Old Madam.

The Eldest Madam’s cold gaze looked at Mu Yunyao, “Yunyao, they’re here. How do you plan on dealing with them?”

“As servants, they have always obeyed their master’s orders. On that day, they also followed Miss Meng’s orders to beat me. Logically speaking, even if they are not punished, it would still be reasonable.”

The fear in the eyes of the two old maids had just faded a little when Mu Yunyao continued.

“But as a servant, they could not forget their roots. They also could not forget which family’s residence this was, which master’s orders should they obey? This place is the Su family, and you dared to lay your hands on me after hearing what Miss Meng had said. If someone else puts down their words in the future, would you dare to deal with the honorable Lord of the residence?”

After hearing this, the Eldest Madam opens her mouth to stop Mu Yunyao. What she says is too harsh, and she secretly insinuated that the Meng family dared to command the servants to do whatever they wanted in the Su family. Although she knew that it was due to her deliberately conniving that day, in the ears of the Old Madam and the Master, she was afraid that they would assume too much about it.

“Yunyao, they are just rough and tumble servants who don’t have the chance to see their master, so they are timid and don’t know what to do after being threatened by others. However, you did remind me that even the most inferior servants should teach them the rules well in the future. Eldest Aunt also has responsibilities.”

Mu Yunyao hurriedly shook her head. “What are you talking about, Eldest Aunt? You usually manage the affairs of the residence, and you must be extremely busy. How can you worry about everything? Si Qin, Si Qi, you two bring the court stick here, each of you takes one of these two maids and plank them ten times, then drive them out of the residence. Grandmother, Eldest Aunt, are you okay with me doing this?”

The Old Madam nodded her head, “Ten plank punishments are too easy for them. But you are kind-hearted, that’s not bad. Just do as you say.”

Mu Yunyao smiled as she looked at Si Qin and Si Qi, who stood behind Su Qing. The two of them hurriedly nodded at Mu Yunyao before finding someone to take the court stick, detained the two ruthless women on the ground, and beat them directly.

The Eldest Madam and the Old Madam calmly withdrew their gazes. Si Qin and Si Qi were slender, and even if they used all of their strength, the ten planks would not hurt people too badly. Furthermore, seeing how light they raised the stick, it’s only strange if something happens.

After the two frightened old maids on the ground got two blows, they felt that their strength was not heavy. They couldn’t help but relax a little, and their heart began to develop a bit of hatred towards Mu Yunyao. If it wasn’t for Meng Yanran’s disturbance back then, the two of them might have definitely crippled Mu Yunyao. Did she still have her turn to show off her power today?

The ten planks were quickly finished. Si Qin and Si Qi stood behind Su Qing.

The Old Madam raised a hand and held her forehead. “Throw these two people out of the house.”

Looking at the Old Madam’s expression, the Eldest Madam hurriedly went forward to support her arm. “Mother, are you suffering from a headache again? Your daughter-in-law will send someone to get the post, asking the imperial physician to come over and take a look.”

“Nothing, merely rest for two days, and I will be fine. You can disperse now.”

“Grandmother … “Mu Yunyao was not prepared to give up. The Meng family and the Eldest Madam’s face have already been beaten, and the Old Madam should have paid some price too.” Previously, Doctor Lin, who helped Miss Meng frame me, was serving in front of you. I am really concerned. The woman has a deep mind. She was able to help Miss Meng to frame me before, then who knows what she might use in the future?”

The Old Madam Sun turned her head, “Lin Yurou’s grandfather is old friends with your maternal grandfather. Although her identity is that of a medical girl and a servant of the Su family, you can’t treat her like an ordinary servant. I had punished her, but if you still felt angry in your heart, you can punish her again. However, our Su family has always been kind to our servants, so we cannot spread our bad reputation.”

“Grandmother, you’re overthinking about the matters. I’m just reminding you. Since you’ve already punished Doctor Lin, this matter is naturally over. The Emperor’s gift still needs to be worshipped, so Mother and I will be busy.”

“Yes.”

The people in the front yard gradually dispersed, but the atmosphere in the Su family’s residence changed. In the evening, Jin Lan and Jin Qiao went to the kitchen to ask for food. The kitchen maids and others in the kitchen treated them with exceptional enthusiasm, not daring to delay in the slightest. The situation is very different from the previous two days.

After returning, Jin Qiao sighed in her heart, “Miss, those servants really know how to flatter someone. Today, you’ve just established your strength, and their attitudes have turned upside down.”

Mu Yunyao carefully rubbed the ointment on her face in the bronze mirror, “This time is only a small place. I still have more in the future!”

~ A SLAPPED IN THE FACE ~ 

The Eldest Madam’s smile is somewhat stiff, and she can naturally hear the implied sarcasm in Mu Yunyao’s words. “You just came to Capital, so there must be a lot of inadaptability. After a long time, you will gradually become familiar with it.”

“Yes, I would also like to thank Eldest Aunt for her teaching.”

The Eldest Madam looked at Mu Yunyao’s expression. She always felt that the smile on her face was brilliant, but there was no warmth, which made people looked uncomfortable for no reason: “Where is this? We are all a family, supporting each other is it should be.”

The Old Madam knows that Mu Yunyao is not happy in her heart. She is not willing to continue to listen to the implied confrontation between their words: “The banquet thing will be handed over to the Eldest Madam. Su Qing and Yao’er, if you have the guests who want to invite, you can also come over and go back to make good preparations for it...”

Before she finished her word, she heard a report from her servant: “Responding to the Old Madam, report to Master. At the entrance, Lord Meng, the Minister of the Tai Chang Temple, has come with Miss Meng to see Miss Biao.”

Su Wenyuan was taken aback when he heard the words: “Come to see Yunyao?”

The Eldest Madam’s heart suddenly sinks. Her brother brought Yanran to see Mu Yunyao? And she came in such a hurry, is there anything else she doesn’t know?

Mu Yunyao has a light smile on her face, quietly stands on one side. She is not surprised by this news. The Meng family can have today’s glory, not because it falls from the sky. Although the Meng Master is old, he is very sharp. She is afraid that when she comes out of the Palace, the Meng family received the news. That’s why Meng Yanran’s father is in such a hurry to bring Meng Yanran to see her.

Su Wenyuan glanced at Mu Yunyao and said to his servant: “Go and invite Lord Meng and Miss Meng in.” People have come here. No matter what the purpose, they must not be turned away.

The Second Madam wanted to leave. But after hearing the news, she suddenly stopped and watched with great interest. The Second Madam still didn’t understand before. But now, she knows that Eldest Madam had made a mistake by looking at her face. And this somersault is not small, don’t you see that her face is entirely black?

Meng Yu walked in with Meng Yanran and saw so many people in the yard. His face became extremely ugly for a moment, but he reluctantly put on a smile, then met with Su Wenyuan and the others.

Meng Yu is the older brother of the Eldest Madam. According to the seniority, Su Wenyuan should call him an elder brother: “Elder brother, how come you here now?”

Meng Yu looked back at Meng Yanran, who was pale and white. He sighed: “It’s all the good things you do. Why don’t you apologize to Ms. Mu?”

Meng Yanran raised her head and looked straight at Mu Yunyao. The hatred of her eyes rolled over, just like being able to condense into substance. If her eyes could kill at this time, she couldn’t wait to tear Mu Yunyao into pieces!

Seeing that MengYanran did not say anything, Meng Yu reprimanded her once again: “What are you doing in a daze? Didn’t you hear your father’s word?”

Meng Yanran walked to Mu Yunyao step by step, and her voice as cold as it could freeze: “Cousin Yunyao, what happened that day was my fault, please forgive me.”

With a faint smile on her lips, Mu Yunyao looked at her plainly: “What is Miss Meng talking about it? How can I not understand?”

Meng Yanran wanted to bite her silver teeth, but Meng Yu was watching behind her, but she couldn’t attack her: “On that day in Luyi Pavillion, I shouldn’t frame you for knocking over the teacup to harm me. I also blame myself for being in a bad mood and scatter the gas on Cousin Yunyao. After I went home, I regretted it. If I think about it carefully, it’s really too much, and I ask cousin Yunyao for forgiveness.”

These words are all smashed at home. Every time she says a word, she feels like a steel needle has passed through her throat, and leaving a series of scars. She was so angry that she wanted to vomit and bleed. Although it was said that she deliberately found the fault that day, in the end, Mu Yunyao just suffered a slap and two planks. However, her legs and feet have been painful for a night. Seriously, she was the one who suffered, so why is it today her father wants her to apologize to this bitch?

Mu Yunyao still looks at Meng Yanran calmly, seems to be waiting for her next move.

Meng Yu blinked his eyes slightly and carefully examined Mu Yunyao. His heart crossed the dissatisfaction: A news came out in the Palace today, and his father directly called him to reprimand him. Then he knew that his daughter was in trouble, but it was just a small matter to him. Unexpectedly, his father was furious and asked him to take Meng Yanran with him to apologize. He said that they would never go back without asking for Mu Yunyao’s forgiveness.

He thought that if Meng Yanran had come to make her admit that she had made a mistake, Mu Yunyao would gladly accept the matter. Who would have thought that she would not have given the steps down?

Meng Yu was angry in his heart, but he did not dare to disobey his father’s command: “Yanran!”

Meng Yanran bit her lip, and her mouth was full of blood: “Cousin Yunyao, I know that what I did on that day was too much. I came here today to kneel down and pour tea to admit my mistake!!” The words were almost squeezed out of her teeth.

With that, Meng Yanran directly wants to kneel down. She thought that Mu Yunyao would come forward to hold her up, but she did not expect that the other party still had that smile, as if waiting for her to kneel down. No, she can only bite her gums down and get down on her knees. The knee touches the ground, and she only feels the hate in her chest is almost overflowing.

Mu Yunyao finally got the action, only to see her slowly step forward, standing in front of Meng Yanran. Just when everyone thought she would bend over and lift the people up, she raised her arms directly and slapped Meng Yanran in the face!

“Snapped!”

The loud slaps of the palms seemed to bring echoes, which makes the entire front yard silent. The Eldest Madam only feels a buzz in her head and then trembles with anger. That slap not only hit Meng Yanran, but it also hit her face!

The burning pain on her face came. Meng Yanran straightened up, raised her eyes, and stared at Mu Yunyao. Her spiteful eyes were full of harshness, this bitch..., she actually beat herself!

Mu Yunyao sorted out the sleeves and returned to the original standing position: “I said in front of the Emperor that Miss Meng slapped me that day, and I’ll fight back directly. In this way, we are clear the grievances, and we will still be cousins in the future.”

~ THE EMPEROR’S REWARD ~ 

Xu Li turned to look at him. “Didn’t you hear what Miss Mu said? As long as the Emperor nods his head, she’ll be willing to beat someone, not to mention just one of the young ladies of the Meng family, even Grand Preceptor Meng himself, won’t she be able to fight?”

He really didn’t understand what was going on in the minds of the officials. Wasn’t their status and wealth just between a single sentence from the Emperor? Some people jump up and down to fight and scheming against each other. But they think that the Emperor can’t see it, and they don’t look at how our Emperor managed to get to the throne all the way.

When Li De heard this, he couldn’t help but inwardly suck in a breath of cold air. His tone carried a hint of sadness. “I wonder how the Imperial Concubine De in the Palace will cry when she heard this news?”

This time, it was clear that the Emperor wanted to disgrace the Meng family’s face, which was the Imperial Concubine De’s family, who had always been the pettiest personality.

“Cry? It should be a laugh.” In the end, she didn’t really anger the Emperor. He just happened to let Miss Mu meet her and gave the Meng family a warning. If she still didn’t understand, I’m afraid there won’t be such a good thing next time.

Li De chuckled, and the strength in his grip on Xu Li’s shoulder became even more gentle. “Master, Imperial Concubine De had just sent someone to deliver the soup. She knew that the Emperor was seeing Miss Mu and left the things behind.”

Xu Li raised his eyelids, “The gods fighting and the kids will suffer. This matter isn’t something that we can get involved in it. Don’t talk too much and do more. The most important thing is to serve the Emperor well.”

Li De hurriedly nodded. “Yes, Master.”

Mu Yunyao returned to the Su residence. As soon as she entered the inner courtyard, she called over by Old Madam Sun.

“Greetings, Grandmother.” Mu Yunyao’s body was already injured. After a series of torments inside and outside the Palace, her face now turned pale. But it seemed that Old Madam Sun didn’t see it and instead called her up with a smile on her face.

“There’s no need to be so courteous. Quickly, sit down. Did the meeting with the Emperor go well?”

Mu Yunyao’s face filled with joy. “The Emperor is the ruler of a nation, but he treats others kindly. He doesn’t make things difficult for a mere commoner like me.”

Wide and peaceful? Old Madam Sun couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow in her heart. It was only recently that the Emperor started to dislike killing. The current Emperor of the Dali Dynasty was never a gentle person.

“That’s good. I was worried that you’d enter the Palace for the first time and didn’t know how to answer the Emperor’s words.”

Mu Yunyao was slightly suspicious, “The Emperor is the true Son of Heaven. His eyes are like torches that can detect the slightest trace of danger. I naturally have something to say in front of him and don’t dare to hide it from him in the slightest. After all, deceiving the Emperor is a great crime, and it might even implicate my family!”

The Old Madam’s brows furrowed, and her expression turned cold. She was about to say something when Wen Mama walked in quickly. She immediately became displeased. “In a hurry, what happened?”

Wen Mama glanced at Mu Yunyao and respectfully bowed her head. “The Palace internal servant has come. They said that the Emperor has something to give to Miss Biao.”

The Old Madam’s hand that held the Buddhist beads tightened as she raised her head to look at Mu Yunyao. The smile on her face was slightly stiff. “Looks like Yao’er is indeed very pleasing to the Emperor.”

Mu Yunyao slightly lowered her head as if she was very embarrassed. She knew in her heart that the Old Madam wanted to investigate why the Emperor gave her such a gift. But in the end, she didn’t say anything.

The Old Madam was infuriated, but she could not show it on her face. On the contrary, she wore a joyful expression. “Quickly set up an incense stick and inform the people in residence to kneel and welcome the Emperor’s bestowal.”

In the East Courtyard, the Eldest Madam heard from Qi Mama that Mu Yunyao had left the Palace with reddened eyes. She couldn’t help but smile. “Does she really think that if she makes a little reputation in Jingling City, she can make people look at her? It’s just a joke. Do you really think she has the ability to do so?”

Su Yuyi sat at the side with a carefree look and her eyes glinting with pleasure.

However, the smiles on their faces had not dissipated when the servants reported that the Emperor had rewarded them.

The Eldest Madam froze on the spot, her fingers tightly pinching the handle of the chair. After a while, she stiffly released it. “Did they say why the reward is given to us?”

“There’s no news.”

The smile on Su Yuyi’s face also disappeared. She stepped forward to support the Eldest Madam’s arm, “Mother, could it be that Mu Yunyao really can make the Emperor look at her?”

The Eldest Madam slowly straightened her sleeves, and after a while, she wore a smiling face again, “Let’s also go and congratulate your cousin Yunyao.”

“Mother?” Su Yuyi felt unresigned in her heart. She was just a country girl with a bit of a reputation. How could she receive a reward from the Emperor?

The Eldest Madam looked at Su Yuyi with a warning gaze, “We should be happy when your cousin receives the reward, so we have to laugh happily. Do you understand?”

Su Yuyi pursed her lips and reluctantly nodded. “I understand, Mother.”

Very quickly, the incense stick was set up. Su Qing took a step to the incense stick and stood there. When he saw Mu Yunyao walking over with the Old Madam, she couldn’t help but slightly breathe a sigh of relief.

Mu Yunyao walked directly to Su Qing’s side. Seeing her worried eyes, she couldn’t help but comfort her with a smile. “Mother, I’m fine.”

Seeing that she was in good spirits, Su Qing’s heart sank a little. “Good, good …”

“Emperor’s edict. The Emperor decreed that Mu Yunyao, the Mu family’s daughter, has a pure heart and a gentle heart. She especially rewards a pair of jade ruyi, bestowing ten brocades …”

The rewards were limited, so the imperial edict wasn’t too long. But for the first wife, it felt like a day was like a year. She pure and kind-hearted, also her nature was gentle and beautiful. When such praise fell upon a country girl, no matter how one looked at it, it made them feel out of place. How can she make the Emperor look up to her?

After the imperial edict had been read out, the Eunuch who gave the decree indicated for Mu Yunyao to come forward with a smile. “Miss Mu, please receive the edict.”

Mu Yunyao knelt down and clasped the imperial edict above her head. “This humble daughter, Mu Yunyao, thanks Your Majesty for his grace.”

The Eunuch, who announced the decree, looked to the side with a smile at Su Wenyuan, “Lord Su, our order was to announced the decree today, so it is not appropriate to pay our respects to you. Please forgive us.”

“Eunuch is too courteous. Men, you escorted Eunuch out.”

After the official left, Su Wenyuan first went up to pay his respects to the Old Madam, then looked towards Mu Yunyao, who was holding the imperial edict. “The affairs of the court have been busy these past few days, and I didn’t have the time to see my niece, Yunyao. It’s my fault as an uncle, but today you have received the Emperor’s reward, so we should have a few banquets in residence. A few tables of banquets will be filled with noise and excitement and should be used to welcome the return of you and your mother back to our family.”

The Eldest Madam stepped forward and said, “Earlier, I wanted to hold a banquet for Sister Su Qing and Yunyao, but considering how tired they must be from such a long journey, so I didn’t worry about it. But, I didn’t expect that another big event to happen today, so this banquet must be even more lively. I have drawn up some lists of invited guests. After discussing with Sister Su Qing, I wrote a post to send them out.“

Su Wenyuan nodded his head, “You have always been thorough in your work, so this matter is definitely good. What you need to do only look at the arrangements. Yunyao, what’s so uncomfortable about coming to the Su family’s residence?”

Mu Yunyao had a smile on her face as she passed the imperial edict to Jin Lan, who stood to the side. She replied in a clear voice, “The Capital is different after all. Even though I’ve only been here for three days, I’ve gained quite a bit of knowledge.”

~ THEN FIGHT BACK ~ 

The Emperor drank two sips of tea before placing the teacup at the side, “You donated one hundred thousand taels of silver in Jingling City. The Jingling salt transport envoy, Li Munian, report the matter in writing to me. I heard that you had contributed greatly to our efforts. I also heard that you have taken out all the silver earned by Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo in the recent year?”

Mu Yunyao shook her head slightly and answered truthfully, “I didn’t take all of them, but I left fifty thousand silver taels behind. Thirty thousand silver taels out of that used for turnover, and fourteen thousand used to buy my grandmother and the others’ greeting gift. The rest handed over to my mother for later expenses.”

“What you said is quite detailed. No matter what, being grateful is a good thing. I should be giving you a reward. In addition, the tea leaves today are not bad. When the time comes, I’ll get the person who beat you up from the Meng family so you can fight back.”

Mu Yunyao was stunned and couldn’t move for a long time. Just as Xu Li couldn’t help but want to remind her, she suddenly stood up and kneeled on the ground with a ‘pu tong’ sound, bowing to the Emperor with exceptional respect. Her body filled with stubbornness, just like a seedling standing under the towering giant tree. Even if her head had to cover with an enormous cover, she still had to stubbornly struggle to get a sliver of an opportunity to catch her breath.

After Mu Yunyao made her salutations, she knelt on the ground, and her chest violently heaved for a moment. Then, she solemnly said, “This humble one thanks to the Emperor for presiding over justice!” If one were to listen carefully, one would notice the faint sound of her crying voice, as if she was saying how difficult it was to come to this justice.

“Yes, you may leave.”

“This humble daughter will take her to leave now.” Mu Yunyao lowered her head and bowed as she left the great hall. As she retreated, she couldn’t stop her tears from rolling down. This kind of taboo matter made her not dare to raise her head, but it was unknown if it was because she was too agitated that she couldn’t help sobbing twice. In the quiet hall, the voice was exceptionally striking.

When she left, the Emperor couldn’t help but take another sip of the tea. “There’s really nothing to say about the way tea brewed.”

Xu Li smiled at the side. Upon hearing these words, he couldn’t help but say, “Miss Mu’s skills in brewing tea have indeed improved.”

The Emperor put down the teacup and read the imperial edict. After writing a few times with a red brush, he could not help but chuckle. “She’s quite a lively girl.”

Xu Li couldn’t stop his heart from thumping. There weren’t many people who could receive such praise from the Emperor. “To be praised by the Emperor, that Miss Mu really does have such deep blessings.”

Does getting praised by him meant that her luck was great?

The Emperor couldn’t help but recall what Mu Yunyao had said before, saying that he could affect a person’s entire life with a single glance. Although he had understood this principle before, he hadn’t paid particular attention to it. Now, combined with Xu Li’s emo statements, he can’t help thinking of the words of his Imperial Older Sister, Princess Yi De:

When the Emperor wielded the Emperor’s sword, he could slaughter all living things and burn their spirits. He could also intimidate ghosts, protect the peace of society and protect the country from danger!

“Xu Li. The Grand Princess will be returning to the Palace before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Is the Palace ready?”

Xu Li quickly replied respectfully, “Reporting to the Emperor, the Grand Princess’s Yuhua Palace has always been cleaned and tidied up by people every day. Now that I’ve heard that the Grand Princess has returned to the Palace, I’ve specially repainted the pepper wall. The curtains and carpets in the hall have all been replaced with new ones. All of them are modest and elegant styles that the Grand Princess likes. The flowers, plants, trees, mountains, rivers, landscape, and pavilions in the Palace have been reorganized and refurbished.”

The Emperor listened attentively and asked a few more questions. After receiving a satisfactory answer, he added on with a smile, “I wonder if the Grand Princess is willing to stay here for a longer this time.”

“Although the Grand Princess doesn’t stay in the Palace often, she still has her heart set on the Emperor.”

The Emperor shook his head, “In the end, some things are different. I am now the noble Son of Heaven, but my Imperial Older Sister is worried about getting infected by my power. She has lived in the Palace for many years, but she is reluctant to return to the Palace. If it weren’t for me sending a few letters this time, she wouldn’t be willing to come back.”

Xu Li didn’t dare to reply. Grand Princess Yi De held a particular position in the Emperor’s heart. A single wrong word from him might attract the Emperor’s displeasure.

The Emperor paused for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and continued, “... I wasn’t favored when I was a prince, and I even got targeted by a few Imperial Brothers due to my inferior birth. At that time, as long as Imperial Older Sister found out, she will definitely help me fight back. Moreover, Imperial Older Sister was ruthless. She chose places that were painful and hard to leave marks. Every single time, it would cause the people who bully me to howl and cry incessantly. After that, the Imperial Father’s health was not good at all, and disputes gradually arose. Life became more difficult, and then …”

Xu Li lowered his head and couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat. The things that the Emperor had said were the secrets of the Imperial Family. As an attendant, he couldn’t allow listening to it.

Fortunately, the Emperor seemed to have noticed something wrong, and he swallowed the following words directly. He didn’t know why, when he saw Mu Yunyao’s expression while she left in the end, it actually made him think back to those remarkably arduous days. The days when he and his Imperial Older Sister had used their own strength to fight against the flood and the sky, surrounded by enemies. The crowd surrounded him like wolves, standing alone and trembling in fear......

“Xu Li. The Grand Princess Residence needs to take good care of this as well.” This time, Imperial Older Sister returned to the Palace seemed to have received some advice from the esteemed monk, wanting to find a girl to write it down in the name of her lost daughter and saying that she will not be able to stay in Capital longer.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

On the other side, Mu Yunyao followed the young eunuch who led the way out of the Palace. Jin Lan and Jin Qiao hurriedly came over, and the nervousness in their eyes eased up. “Miss.”

Mu Yunyao smiled at them, her eyes still slightly red. Qi Mama, who stood by the side, silently took in her expression and prepared to return to report it to the Eldest Madam.

A young eunuch who was leading the way bowed to Mu Yunyao. “Miss Mu, you have already left the Palace. This servant will return to report to Eunuch Li.”

Mu Yunyao indicated for Jin Lan to send over the black purse, smiled, and nodded as she said her thanks, “Thank you for guiding me twice, Eunuch.”

The young eunuch was surprised to receive the money, and his actions were unnatural as he placed it in his sleeves, “Take care, Miss Mu.”

Mu Yunyao got on the carriage and headed towards the Su residence.

The young eunuch who led the way returned to the Palace and found an opportunity to meet Li De after a while. “Eunuch Li, this was given to me by Miss Mu. How could I use it in the Palace? I wanted to use it to honor you.” They are the lowly servants, so they could not leave the Palace, nor did they leave any money behind to use.

Li De took the purse and opened it. Inside was a fifty-tael banknote, and after he finished looking at it, he threw it back into the young eunuch’s arms, “Since Miss Mu gave it to you, then you should keep it. Now you can’t spend it, but you’ll naturally have the chance to leave the Palace in the future.”

“Thank you, Eunuch Li.”

“En, since you have received my benefits, the next time you lead the way, be a little more respectful.”

“Yes, thank you for your advice, Eunuch Li.” Next time? Could it be that Miss Mu will often enter the Palace? When Li De returned to his room, he saw his master Xu Li resting by the side. He hurriedly stepped forward with a face full of smiles as he held Xu Li’s shoulder. “Master, do you think that Miss Mu Mu will really dare to fight back the young lady of the Meng Family?”
