~ THE SECOND MADAM’S EXPRESSION OF GOODWILL ~ 

After exiting the Old Madam’s courtyard, Mu Yunyao wanted to accompany Su Qing back to Jiyue Pavilion when she saw the Second Madam greet them. “Yunyao, I originally wanted to bring you with me to the Palace, but who would’ve thought …”

Mu Yunyao could feel the kindness from the Second Madam’s body. After a moment of thought, she understood that it couldn’t be Su You’s credit, and the smile on her face couldn’t help but become more genuine, “No matter what, thank you, Second Aunt.”

Noticing the change in Mu Yunyao’s expression, the Second Madam stepped forward and held Su Qing’s hand, “Little Sister Su Qing, I haven’t been to Jiyue Pavilion since you came back. Would you welcome me today?”

Su Qing hurriedly replied with a smile, “I’ve long wanted to invite Second Sister-in-Law over. It’s just that you have to take care of You’er and are usually busy. I don’t dare to speak out rashly, but it so happens that we have the opportunity to meet today .”

Returning to Jiyue Pavilion, the Second Madam examined the decorations within and could not help but sigh in amazement. “I didn’t expect that I would be unable to recognize them in such a short period of time. Every single one of these items is true of the highest quality. I can’t stop seeing it.”

Su Qing asked Si Qin to serve tea and walked around the hall with the Second Madam. “These things are arranged by Yao’er. I only think they are good-looking, but I can’t say what’s good exactly. I only make Second Sister laugh.”

“Look at what little sister is saying.” The Second Madam couldn’t help but smile. “I hate those literary people the most. They will stop when they see wild grass on the side of the road and have to recite a poem. Let me say that the sourness all over my body is about to come out. I can’t bear that one the most, but I think my sister’s temperament is so understanding and friendly. Speaking of which, I have come here today not only to take a seat but also to thank Yao’er.”

“Yao’er?”

“That’s right. I’ve spoiled my daughter so much. She doesn’t know how to talk and do things all the time, but, fortunately, Yao’er has a calm personality. She actually managed to get along with her.”

Mu Yunyao took the teacup from Si Qin and placed it next to Second Aunt and Su Qing. “What are Second Aunt’s words about to say? We’re all sisters. How can something be going on?”

The Second Madam reached out her hand to pull Mu Yunyao away. Her attitude was very close, “My family knows their own affairs. If other people see my daughter’s character, they would have to say the word ‘abnormal’ to her, but I only have one daughter. Moreover, her health is not good. She can’t live without medicine all year-round. Watching her suffer every day, it seems that I have a knife in my heart, so I can’t bear to control her temperament. Yao’er, since the two of you can get along, I hope that you can accompany her a little more in the future. You’er has been very lonely since she was a child. “

Hearing the uncontrollable grief in Second Madam’s voice, Su Qing couldn’t help but feel a bit more upset. However, she still cared about her daughter a little more and didn’t dare to agree on Yunyao’s behalf so quickly.

When Mu Yunyao saw the expression in Su Qing’s eyes, she couldn’t help but smile. “Second Aunt, don’t worry. Jiyue Pavilion isn’t far from the West Courtyard. I might come over later to disturb you.”

The Second Madam was pleased to hear that. “Where there is any disturbance? You can come whenever you want. This time, it was really a pity. The Emperor had ordered the officials and their families to head the Palace with the intention of getting Grand Princess Yi De to choose one of these official young ladies and place her in the name of the Grand Princess’s lost daughter. If You’er can attend the banquet, even if the Grand Princess doesn’t fancy her, it would be great if she could receive a few words of advice.”

Su Qing was not disappointed at all. “The fortune is decided by heaven. Without fortune, even if the fortune falls down, we can’t catch it. Yao’er and I would already be satisfied if we could live a peaceful life. We don’t dare to hope for those that don’t exist. No matter, we have to thank second sister-in-law’s goodwill.”

The Second Madam originally came over to take a seat for Su You’s sake, but after hearing Su Qing’s words, she couldn’t help but look at her more highly, “As mothers, we only hope that our daughter will be safe and sound and that she will be content and happy.”

Su Qing could not help but smile, “We feel contented ourselves, but in the eyes of others, we can’t help feeling that we’re hopeless.”

“Hehe, I never would have thought that my sister and I would get along so well. If we have no future, then we would have no future. Being able to walk to the end safely is even better than stepping on mud in the wind and rain.”

The Eldest Madam originally wanted to keep Su Yuyi in her boudoir in order to one day shock all living beings. But now, she hurriedly pushed her over and used the previous banquet to gain fame so that people know who she is.

However, she felt that this was an opportunity to soar to the heavens in a single step, and the others naturally would not let it go. In order to make Grand Princess Yi De look up to her, who knew how many people would put in so much effort. If she wanted to stand at the end, she had to be ready to be bloody. It was better not to be mixed with it.

Su Qing nodded her head repeatedly, “That’s the truth.”

The Second Madam sat and drank a cup of tea. After chatting for a while longer, she stood up and said goodbye. Mu Yunyao and Su Qing sent them out and then returned to their rooms to sit and talk.

Although the Second Madam and she had a big talk about it earlier, she knew that Mu Yunyao wanted to take revenge on the Su Family and Jin Wang. But with their current statuses, it was no different than an ant trying to shake a tree. If she could enter the eyes of Grand Princess Yi De, then that would be different, “Yao’er, do you feel sorry that you can’t go to the Palace this time?”

When Mu Yunyao raised her head and saw the expression in Su Qing’s eyes, she immediately understood what she was thinking. She quickly got up and sat down, acting spoiled as she leaned against her mother’s shoulder, “The thing that I am most proud of in my life is being Mother’s daughter, so I don’t want to remember anyone’s name. I can’t bear to part with Mother! Could it be Mother dislike me?”

Su Qing couldn’t help but smile as she turned around and stroked her long silky hair. “Mother only has you as her precious daughter. It wouldn’t even be enough to keep her warm in her heart. How could I dislike her? I’m just worried that your heart might be unwilling.”

“Mother, don’t let your thoughts run wild. From the beginning, we were the only ones who relied on each other. In the future, we won’t have the luxury of backer falling from the sky. No matter what, we are the only ones who can rely on.”

“Fine, no matter what you want to do, Mother will always support you.”

“Mother is so nice.” Mu Yunyao smiled as she rubbed Su Qing’s shoulder in satisfaction. “That’s right, what does Mother think of Second Aunt?”

“She looks pretty good, and her personality is also straightforward. It’s not like the Eldest Madam, who can’t see the end of it with a single glance, which makes people feel that their thoughts are unpredictable. The most important thing is that she dotes on Su You very much. To be able to love her daughter with everything she has, a person shouldn’t be too bad …”

Mu Yunyao blinked, “Mother thinks it’s good. Then I’ll take a closer look. Although we don’t rely on anyone else, we can’t fight alone when it’s time to join forces.”

~ GREAT AMBITION ~ 

“Mother once said that it was from an ancient poem, Feng Guiyun. ‘Seeing Yuyi at the edge of the golden fence. Hanging cold branches on the sycamore tree.’ It is what Mother wishes for me.”

“That’s right. Mother wished for you to be as noble and beautiful as a phoenix. You already have beauty, and it’s beyond anyone can match. The only thing that is lacking is nobility.” The Eldest Madam’s eyes held a deeper meaning. “In the eyes of others, the legitimate daughter of the scholar’s family is noble enough. But in the eyes of those true nobles, she was only a servant of some status. Mother wishes for you to be a master, an incomparably noble master!”

“Mother?” Su Yuyi’s body trembled. It was the first time she had heard such words. There were an unease and an indescribable excitement in her heart, causing her back to feel hot. “Mother, you want me to transform into a real phoenix?”

“That’s right, a real Phoenix, the mother of a nation!” When the Eldest Madam said the last words, her eyes suddenly lit up with excitement, “Yuyi, with a face like yours, you were born with a higher status than others. No matter what, you will be able to obtain it easily. Therefore, you can walk far away. You don’t need to care about Mu Yunyao. When you stand at the top, you will realize that she’s just an ant that can be casually crushed. You even only need to frown slightly to find someone to help you remove this eyesore!”

“Mother …” Su Yuyi took a deep breath and suppressed her heart that was about to jump out. “I... I don’t know if I can do it.”

The Eldest Madam snickered her lips and smiled, “You can do it! Your father and I have been planning so hard for so long merely to push you up. You saw the Third Prince today. What do you think of him?”

Thinking of the handsome Jin Wang, Su Yuyi couldn’t help but blush and lower her head slightly, “His Royal Highness Third Prince is naturally excellent.”

The Eldest Madam smiled knowingly, “That’s good. Now you’ve come to the front of the people. Mother has to tell you a lot of things. Your father and I have chosen the third prince, Jin Wang as your marriage candidate.”

“But the Third Prince’s background isn’t good, could it be ….”

“Although the Third Prince’s mother was born into a lowly background, she has now become an Imperial Concubine. Heroes aren’t asked where they come from, and since ancient times, battles have only depended on the outcome, and it’s wishful thinking if she didn’t get in that position. But, once she got into that position, she will be filled with courage and determination. What does her current birth count as?” The Eldest Madam said she did not care at all, “Yuyi, your path is different. You are destined to have a different vision than others. When the ancestors were establishing Dali Dynasty, Ancestor Gao had hoped that each generation of emperors would be taken over by their first son. You can see that now Dali Dynasty has experienced nine generations of emperors, But, none of them was their first son, so birth is nothing at all.”

Su Yuyi nodded his head: “That’s true. Look at the current Fourth Prince, His Royal Highness Yue Wang. She is the legitimate son of the previous Empress, and she comes from a noble family. So what if she is of noble birth? He hasn’t been sent to the bitter and cold border areas like Western Guangdong. It’s good if he can come back once a year. The Emperor didn’t put him in his eyes at all. He had already denied the possibility of inheriting the throne even before he started fighting.”

The Eldest Madam nodded with satisfaction: “That’s what I’m talking about before. You can understand it, so Mother feels very relieved.”

When she thought of the Third Prince, Jin Wang, Su Yuyi couldn’t help but think of the scene when Mu Yunyao faced Jin Wang today. “Mother, His Highness Jin Wang is highly regarded by the Emperor and has repeatedly performed miraculous achievements. Even amongst commoners, he is still praised for his good name. If you and Father think he is good, there must be others who also think he is good. In this case, will His Royal Highness choose me?”

“Yuyi, your beauty is the sharpest weapon in your hands. It can help you cut through everything along the way. Just which guy in the world was bad? And who in this world can be more beautiful than you?”

Su Yuyi’s face turned red. She then lowered her head and said, “Mother, I understand. You can rest assured. I will not let you and Father down.”

“Good, my daughter will definitely fulfill this great ambition. Your father, I, and the entire Su family will spare no effort to support you!”

The next day, Mu Yunyao went to pay her respects to the Old Madam. Mu Yunyao initially thought that Su Yuyi, who had her limelight stolen yesterday, would not be able to calm down. Unexpectedly, the other party was more well behaved and even looked at her with a kind of arrogance and disdain.

The Mid-Autumn Festival would be held in three days. The Old Madam had specially called everyone to come over to give them an early warning.

“Yuyi, in another two days, the Mid Autumn Palace’s banquet will be held. Have you finished preparing everything?”

Su Yuyi quickly stepped forward and replied, “ rest assured, Grandmother. Mother is already prepared.”

The Old Madam nodded her head, her expression a little flat, “The Grand Princess’s status is different from the others, and her visions are not comparable to that of ordinary women. The most important thing is that the Emperor has always been respected and very fond of her, so you would rather not be brilliant than displease the Grand Princess.”

Su Yuyi was taken aback for a moment. She disagrees with the Old Madam’s words, but she didn’t dare to retort, “Yes, Granddaughter understands.”

The Old Madame looked at the Second Madam beside her. “You’er health is not good. She should forgo the palace banquet this time around.”

“In reply to Mother, This daughter-in-law also thought the same. You’er’s body was already weak, to begin with, and the weather has also turned cold in the past two days. I was afraid that she provoked the taboo after entering the Palace, so she was not allowed to attend this Palace Banquet.”

The Second Madam’s face was full of smiles. “But I only have one daughter, You’er. If I don’t bring her with me, then I will go to the banquet by myself. So I thought about whether or not I should bring Yunyao along. Yao’er’s personality is pretty clear, her manners are quite thorough, and she also just received a reward from the Emperor. So I think she can also go to the Palace Banquet.”

Mu Yunyao, who was initially standing quietly next to Su Qing, couldn’t help but raise her head in surprise when she heard the Second Madam’s words and facing her smiling eyes.

The Old Madam muttered to herself for a moment, then slightly shook her head: “It’s a Palace Banquet after all. Yunyao just returned to the family, and I want her to accompany me at home. Yao’er, what do you think?”

Mu Yunyao’s eyes moved as she walked out and greeted the Old Madam with a smile, “Yao’er is naturally willing to accompany Grandmother. In the past, it was Eldest Cousin and the rest who offered you their filial piety, but now you have given me this opportunity.”

“Alright.” the Old Madam nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the Second Madam, “If you feel lonely when you enter the Palace alone, you can bring Yaxian, Yajing, or Yaling with you.”

The Eldest Madam’s face immediately changed: “Mother, Yaxian, and the others are illegitimate daughter after all. Although our Su family has raised them quite well, in terms of status...”

“Everyone has their own destiny. The Grand Princess Yi De is different from the others. In her eyes, she has never cared about the difference between the direct line of descent. It’s hard to say who can match her eyes. One more person will have more opportunities.”

The Eldest Madam could not do anything but nod her head, but her heart was like swallowing a fly. “Yes.”

On the other hand, Su Yaxian, Su Yajian, and the others who stood behind the Eldest Madam were overjoyed. They did not expect themselves to have the chance to enter the Palace for the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet and immediately kowtowed to the Old Madam to express their gratitude.

“Alright, I’ve already given you my instructions. You all can go and get ready.”

“Yes.”

Incurable Chapter 22 Part 2

Liu Qianxiu brought her clothes and various bathing items, and Mu Wan walked into the room with a full embrace. Liu Qianxiu’s house was huge, and the second bedroom was spacious. Unlike Mu Wan’s imagination, this bedroom was well decorated and had a light grey tone like the living room. But unlike the living room, this bedroom looked much more modern.

There is a large bed chandelier and paintings of cloakroom decorations. There is also a sofa projector. The sliding doors and French windows are tightly closed, while the light-coloured curtains are opened. The wooden balcony structure is empty and looks very deserted.

Such a large room was for the guests, but this was the first time anyone lived in it. Otherwise, there wouldn’t even be any spare bath supplies.

Mu Wan went into the bathroom barefoot with her things in her arms.

Mu Wan only briefly rinsed to wash away the dust on her body and tiredness. After she took a bath, she felt that her vision was clear. Wiping the wet hair with a towel, Mu Wan looked around, only to find no hairdryer.

The hair’s tips were still dripping, so Mu Wan took the towel and wiped it again. Her wet hair spread over her shoulders. Mu Wan went to get clothes to get dressed. When her eyes met with the clothes, Mu Wan breathed out the heat from her chest, and her face became hot again.

This dress was indeed worn by Liu Qianxiu because she had seen him wear it before. He wore this long white shirt and a trouser made of cotton and linen. He was very well-tailored, with a thin and tall figure.

She took his clothes in her hand and felt the delicate feeling of cotton thread in her hands. When she picked them up, she carried a little air stream, and Mu Wan smelled a light sandalwood incense.

His clothes are also like his, with the smell of cold and abstinence.

Mu Wan took the long shirt and slipped it in from below like a T-shirt. This long shirt fits Liu Qianxiu well, but Mu Wan wears it generously, hanging it down her thigh. The thin cloth rubbed against the skin. She felt cold and rough. Mu Wan was wrapped in sandalwood, and as if touching something, she became uncontrollably hot.

Mu Wan rolled up her sleeves, feeling that she was too rascal. After patting her face, she hurriedly went out.

The bathroom was much hotter than outside. When Mu Wan went out, the air blew, so her skin tightened. Her ears were clean, and she heard water flowing in the kitchen.

“Liu Qianxiu.” Mu Wan called out, standing in front of the kitchen door.

She took a bath very quickly. Liu Qianxiu had just come from the cat’s room, and the kitchen had not been cleaned yet. He stood in front of the refrigerator, holding two handfuls of vegetables wrapped in white paper. The vegetables showed wet green leaves. After hearing Mu Wan’s call, Liu Qianxiu raised his eyes and looked over.

Mu Wan was wearing an oversized shirt, and she rolled up her sleeves, revealing two white arms. The shirt was very long and covered a little bit above her knee. Her lower legs were straight and slender under the knee. Her eyes were very bright, like distant mists, with a little bit of ink and sand in them. Mu Wan looked at him and said, “I’ll help you.”

While speaking, she came over and picked up the vegetables from Liu Qianxiu’s hand, leaving behind a faint scent of orchid.

The vegetables had just been removed from the refrigerator, so she felt cold. Mu Wan opened the white paper, and the neatly tied little vegetables rolled out. Mu Wan turned on the faucet and put the dishes into the sink.

She is not short in height, but her figure is slim. She looked like a petite person hiding under this oversized shirt. There was plenty of sunshine outside the window, but she couldn’t dry her black hair. Only the sound of the clear water running down in the quiet kitchen.

She moved her shoulders a little, and her hair fell down. After a while, she lifted her wet hand and hair to one side with her dry wrist.

But it was futile, and soon the hair fell again.

She seemed a little anxious, pulling her hand away from the kitchen sink, and then she was about to rub it on her shirt. She seemed to remember something when she wanted to rub it up, and the action stopped abruptly. Mu Wan turned her head, looked at Liu Qianxiu, and asked, “Is there any paper towel? I want to tie my hair up because it keeps falling down. I feel uncomfortable.”

Next to the refrigerator, Liu Qianxiu looked at her calmly, moved a little, closed the refrigerator door, and walked to her side.

“Give me the rubber band.” Liu Qianxiu said.

With a glance up, Mu Wan saw Liu Qianxiu’s face, which was invariable. Her frowning eyebrows gradually unfolded, and she removed the black rubber band on her wrist and placed it in his hand. After putting it down, she was a little uncertain, but she also felt a little excited. She looked at him and asked: “Can you do it?”

She has a lot of hair. It is still thick and black even if it is not completely dry. Liu Qianxiu looked at the tip of her hair and said, “I’ll try.”

Her heartbeat gradually became disordered. Mu Wan’s lips parted, turned her head, and left the entire back to him.

His move was surprisingly neat. Mu Wan put her hands on the side of the sink and felt the cool marble spread into her palm. Liu Qianxiu lifted her hair. During the movement, his fingertips touched her neck, warm and numb, and Mu Wan’s fingers curled slightly.

She was wearing his clothes, which fit the skin. Mu Wan was a little confused, lowered her head, diverted her attention, and asked, “Who did you meet for dinner at night?”

“Family,” he said in a deep voice. Under dark hair, Mu Wan’s neck is delicate and white, with a touch of pink.

“Hmm.” She let out an inexplicable voice.

Her black hair was put into the rubber band as if hooped in some circle, and then it trembled. Mu Wan felt the hair being tied up little by little. She looked at the sun outside the window, and her eyes dimmed gradually. It was the first time the two had met at such an early time.

“Liu Qianxiu.” The sun warmed the air, and Mu Wan’s voice was soft.

“Yeah.” Liu Qianxiu replied in a low voice.

“Can I have lunch with you in the future?” Mu Wan asked.

The movement of his hand paused slightly. He pulled Mu Wan’s hair out of the last circle of the black rubber band. The action was gentle and clean, without any feeling of pulling.

Mu Wan turned her head, and the two stood face to face, one tall and one short. She looked up at him with bright eyes, waiting for an answer.

He looked back and said it in his low voice.

“Depend on the time.”

“Oh.” It was still Liu Qianxiu’s indifferent expression. The tone that Mu Wan had raised deeply suddenly disappeared.

Her hair was tied up, and her small face was fully exposed when she looked up. All her thoughts were written on her face, and she could not hide them.

Liu Qianxiu’s gaze stayed on the rubber bands behind her hair and added faintly.

“Depend on your time.”

Mu Wan suddenly raised her head. When she raised her head, her breath flowed. She looked at the light-faced man before her, with sandalwood lingering on the tip of her nose. It seemed quiet and far away.

In addition to sandalwood, Mu Wan also smelled another smell. It was the scent of faint smoke that she had never smelled on him.

The author has something to say: 

Mu Wan: Then I’ll be staying tomorrow!

Mu Wan finished the last shot. She was blown off by artillery fire, rolled down the trench, and fell to the ground. Liu Qianxiu sat in the car and watched her. She tried her best to make herself look better. However, her eyelashes were covered with thick ash when she got up after the fall. She knew that she must be as dirty as a refugee now.

After filming, Mu Wan went to the dressing room to change her clothes. Before seeing Liu Qianxiu, she washed her face in the bathroom. Looking up again, the face in the mirror looked like a freshly peeled egg, delicate and tender. Under her long black eyebrows, she had a pair of crystal-clear eyes, a small nose, and little red lips.

Although she was not wearing makeup, Mu Wan was still beautiful. She expertly wiped the water from her face, turned around, and walked out of the bathroom.

Liu Qianxiu’s car was parked outside the photography base. Today, the weather picked up. It was already 30 degrees at ten o’clock in the morning. Mu Wan seemed to have walked past Huoyan Mountain, sweating and quickly evaporating. When she got to the car, Mu Wan opened the car door and saw Liu Qianxiu in the driver’s seat.

The air conditioning in the car rushed towards her. Her eyes reflected Liu Qianxiu’s figure. Her body was cold, and her heart was also chilly.

Mu Wan’s eyes moved. She got into the car with a smile on her lip and pulled on her seat belt.

She didn’t wipe her face before leaving, and the humid air didn’t feel dry. The air blew when she entered the car, and her skin felt tight. Mu Wan took out the moisturizer and tapped it a few times on her face. The hair around her ears was wet and quietly stuck to her cheek. Mu Wan asked, “Why are you here?”

She previously went to the hospital to wait for him to get off work. It was the first time Liu Qianxiu came to the photography base to look for her. She was so happy because it differed from the past, and something must have changed between them. As for where the changes have occurred, she hasn’t figured it out yet because she is overwhelmed with joy. But she only feels sweet and cold, like eating a strawberry-flavoured popsicle.

“It’s on my way.” Liu Qianxiu replied calmly.

“Oh.” Mu Wan said with a light and long tone. She stretched out her long, slender fingers and spread the white lotion evenly from the tip of her nose to her warm cheeks.

She came to the shooting location at four in the morning and took six hours to shoot. After getting in the car, her tight nerves and body relaxed. After applying the moisturizer, she looks like a stray wild cat who finds shelter to protect herself from the wind and rain. She stretched out her slender body, leaned against the car window, and looked at the still-hot photography base.

“Do you usually shoot like this?” The car started and shook slightly. Liu Qianxiu’s voice seemed to come through the forest with the coolness of dew.

“Yes, many of the supporting roles are like this. In the end, they will die.” Mu Wan retracted her gaze, raised the corners of her eyes slightly, and said to Liu Qianxiu, “I’ve died a million times during the shooting. I have experienced all kinds of death, more than you, a doctor, have ever seen.”

Her tone was cheerful and proud.

When the car stopped at a T-shaped intersection, Liu Qianxiu turned on the left light. He looked at the delight and pride in Mu Wan’s eyes and asked in a deep voice, “Do you like being an actress?”

“That’s not true.” Though momentarily, Mu Wan shook her head and said, “I only have beauty. It’s better to be an actor and make money faster.”

Liu Qianxiu took a deep look at her, and Mu Wan’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and he muttered with a guilty conscience: “Today is covered by dust.”

When the red light turned green, Liu Qianxiu started the car. He had an exquisite profile on his side face. The corners of his lips curled, and his expression was noncommittal. He turned the vehicle left onto the main road, looked at the broad, flat road ahead, and said lightly, “Famous is more profitable.”

The roadside trees rapidly retrogressed. The sky was high, and the clouds were white. Mu Wan looked at Liu Qianxiu and slightly licked her lower lip. She retracted her gaze, looked at the main road ahead, and said: “But then, I can’t go to you every day. I want to make money quickly and have a safe and stable life.”

Liu Qianxiu muffled his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes. The voice of the woman in the car didn’t seem to fade. He drove the car and didn’t speak anymore.

Mu Wan changed her slippers when she arrived at Liu Qianxiu’s house. She looked at Liu Qianxiu, who was walking towards the bedroom. After hesitating for a while, she opened her mouth.

“Can I take a shower in your house?”

Liu Qianxiu paused, turned his head, and looked at her.

Mu Wan looked back with her quiet eyes. Her heartbeat gradually accelerated, and she explained: “I’ve been filming all morning. I’m covered in dirt, which makes me uncomfortable.”

After speaking, she scratched her hair, which was beautiful black and tied into a ponytail, exposing her white and soft face to the outside. Her face looked cleaner than all over her body.

Liu Qianxiu didn’t speak. He turned from the bedroom direction, walked to a room Mu Wan had never been in before, and opened the door.

“There is a separate bathroom here.” Liu Qianxiu said.

“Thank you.” Seeing that he agreed, Mu Wan hurriedly went inside. Walking inside, she asked, “Do you have anything I could use to take a bath?”

“No,” Liu Qianxiu replied.

Mu Wan: “...”

“I’ll get it.” Two big bedrooms are in the room, with separate toilets and bathrooms. But there is no shared one.

Hearing Liu Qianxiu’s going to take it, Mu Wan’s heart seemed to have been slapped by the wind on the grassland. What he takes should be what he uses. Does this mean that the two are in indirect physical contact?

Mu Wan’s face became hot again.

Liu Qianxiu looked at her reddened cheeks, and his gaze fell on her slender shoulders. She wore a short black T-shirt, revealing half of her white belly, and some dust fell on the short T-shirt.

“Do you need clothes too?” Liu Qianxiu asked.

Mu Wan looked up, her eyes trembling slightly.

Mu Wan’s face seemed to be redder, from the profile of her face to the earlobe. She didn’t know what she was thinking, and her throat tightened slightly.

“Huh?” Mu Wan’s voice rose like a cat’s, and her teeth bit her lower lip. She said, “Do you have women’s clothes here?”

“No.” Liu Qianxiu said, “The clothes I usually wear.”

He usually wears.

“Yes, I do.” Mu Wan said.

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 290

~ THE ELDEST MADAM TELLS THE OLD STORY ~ 

These ladies all had their own embroiderer ladies in their residence. Ni Yun Fang’s reputation is too prominent, and it also has the golden signboard awarded by the Emperor. Ni Yun Fang was also never used to doing business with commoners. All those who can buy it from Ni Yun Fang are well-known, and only such clothes are suitable for their status and dignity.

Moreover, the present Mu Yunyao gave at New Years’ was truly breathtaking. Just thinking of wearing such beautiful embroidery on their body caused them to feel comfortable from the inside out.

“If Ni Yun Fang is about to open up in the Capital, then what about Bu Xian Luo? The Emperor was praising the Lotus Fragrance Dew from Bu Xian Luo. When did we have the good fortune to have a taste of this?”

“It is said that very few people can really make it to the sixth floor of Bu Xian Luo. There are quite a several tea masters in the Capital. When Bu Xian Luo opens, perhaps those people will be the first to rush in and experience the unique method of brewing tea.”

For a moment, the people at the banquet surrounded Mu Yunyao and began to talk, leaving the brilliant Su Yuyi behind.

While Mu Yunyao was speaking with the other ladies, she has also used the corner of her eyes to observe the Eldest Madam and Su Yuyi’s expressions. Seeing that their smiling faces were especially gloomy, she couldn’t help but secretly raise her lips.

As the conversation ended and the banquet came to an end, the ladies were secretly praising them in their hearts. They had thought that Su Qing and Mu Yunyao were like the rumors, born in the countryside and wouldn’t be able to show off their skills in public. However, after today’s conversation, their impression of the two of them changed drastically.

Although Su Qing did not say much, she still wore a smile on her face. Her manners and actions were elegant and proper. Occasionally, she would bring out a sentence or two, and she dealt with them with extreme propriety.

Mu Yunyao was even more astonishing. Later on, everyone gathered around her to talk. If she were any an ordinary person, she would have already appeared to be in a fluster, but she was neither dull nor slow. Her words and laughter could take care of everyone’s feelings, and she didn’t let anyone feel like they were being ignored and feel unhappy. Even those, who had not made a sound and quietly waited for the end of the banquet, had attracted by Mu Yunyao’s clear and beautiful voice. The time unknowingly passed while listening to her talking about the clothes in Ni Yun Fang, as well as some small tips on dressing and matching.

The guests left one after another, and Mu Yunyao’s reputation spread along with them.

Su Yuyi followed the Eldest Madam back to her own courtyard after seeing off all the guests. She threw the glass cup on the table onto the ground.

Looking at the fragments on the ground, the Eldest Madam could not help but frown. “What are you doing?”

Su Yuyi’s face filled with a wronged expression, hearing the Eldest Madam’s question, her eyes had already started glistening with tears: “Mother, today you said that you would make a good reputation for myself, but in the end, Mu Yunyao had robbed my limelight!”

The Eldest Madam frowned, feeling extremely unhappy in her heart. “Even mother did not expect that Mu Yunyao would actually be so capable! As expected of someone born in a business, her words and actions are exquisite, making it impossible for others to find any mistakes in her words.”

Su Yuyi cursed in her heart, “It’s Meng Yanran’s fault. She was fine at first, but now she wants to provoke her. Mother, I am unwilling. If I can’t spread my reputation, how can the Grand Princess take a liking to me during the Mid-Autumn Festival’s banquet?”

“Don’t worry. The more time you come, the more stable you will be. Even though Mu Yunyao had stolen the limelight at the end of the banquet, with a little manipulation, you must be the one who is famous in Capital! Don’t worry. Mother has her own arrangements.”

“Mother, I always feel that Mu Yunyao is very evil. You said that she is clearly from the countryside, so why is she knows both embroidery and tea ceremony? Moreover, seeing her attitude towards the ladies and young ladies today, I felt that her move was very detailed and meticulous. Did such a person really grow up in the countryside?”

The Eldest Madam frowned, and there was a flash of contemplation in her eyes. “What you said makes sense, but Mother had secretly sent people to investigate the identities of this mother and daughter. The evidence and experiences matched each other. Also, your grandmother was not an easy person to interact with. If the identity of these two people is not confirmed, she will definitely not bring them back to the Su family.”

“Speaking of which, our Su family isn’t small. How can a perfect lady as Grandmother could lose her daughter?”

“She said that she went out to enjoy the incense. On the way back, she met a robber, and her child was taken away in a hurry. I only heard your father say a few words, but I’m not sure about the situation.” The Eldest Madam sighed to herself, “Speaking of which, our Su family is also basked in Su Qing’s glory.”

“Basked in her glory?”

“Yes. At that time, Grand Princess Yi De protected the Emperor from seizing power. Grand Princess Yi De Mansion was the first to be affected by the chaos in the Imperial Court. The Grand Princess’s husband had died in order to protect the Emperor. Grand Princess Yi De had been able to flee the Capital with her children, but in order to send a message to the Emperor, she had no other choice but to send her daughter out. By the time the Emperor led the army to calm the chaos, the Grand Princess’s child could no longer be found, and the Grand Princess was also injured while sending messages to the Emperor. The Grand Princess’s injury made her impossible to have children in the future. The Emperor felt guilty and searched for this child everywhere after he ascended the throne. It’s a pity that it’s not easy to find someone in such a big world, to the point where there still hasn’t been any news about her.”

“I also heard from your grandmother later on that the Su family didn’t really receive much attention from the Emperor at first. But, they suddenly lost a daughter and tried to find her, which made the Grand Princess feel sympathy for this family. It was also because of this that the Emperor gradually began to view the Su family. Even later, when your grandfather passed away, the Su family already had a solid foundation and has steadily developed to this day. Tell me, isn’t it related to Su Qing in some way?”

“Then it really can be considered as a blessing in disguise. If it wasn’t for Aunt being lost, then who knows when the Su family would be able to rise to the top.” Su Yuyi blinked and said proudly, “Although we borrowed this reason, in the end, it’s still because of father has an ability. How could he possibly sit in such an important position as Minister of the Ministry of Public Affairs and have been stable for so many years?”

“Of course,” The Eldest Madam smiled. But very soon, a hint of seriousness appeared in her eyes. “However, now that the Emperor is old and the princes have all grown up. The situation in the Imperial Court is also unpredictable. It’s really uncertain whether our Su family can still be as prosperous as it is now. So, you and your elder brother need to plan carefully. “

“Mother, Elder Brother is now highly regarded by the Emperor. He can be said to be the only one in the Capital, so you don’t need to worry. As for me, how can I help?”

The Eldest Madam pulled Su Yuyi’s hand and looked at her face lovingly, “Of course, you can be great of help. Yuyi, do you know why Mother gave you such a name?”

~ STIRRED UP THE TORRENT ~ 

Just as Mu Yunyao entered the hall, she heard Su Yuyi reciting a poem, “A set of rich and special makeup, lingering from spring to autumn. The solution turns the heavenly beauty for thousands of years and turns it into a nine-day yellow on earth...”

“Yuyi is not only beautiful, but her knowledge is also unrivaled. Madam Meng, your blessing is really great!”

All the ladies in the hall surrounded Su Yuyi with endless praise. Mu Yunyao slowly walked in without attracting much attention. When Su Qing noticed her, she pulled her hand and said, “Yao’er …”

“Mother, are you hungry?” This banquet seemed to be very sumptuous, but there weren’t many things that could really be eaten. Moreover, if people eat one more mouthful in front of everyone’s eyes, they will be told that they are greedy secretly. My mother’s temperament was always being cautious, so even if she is suffering at this time, she has to bear it.

Su Qing shook her head. With a trace of apprehension in her eyes, she replied, “It’s nothing. I just heard that there seemed to be an important guest just now.” She had already repeated Yao’er’s past life many times in her heart. Naturally, she knew that Jin Wang, who came here today, was Yao’er’s husband from her previous life. Although Yao’er only mentioned a few words vaguely, she clearly remembered the hatred in Yao’er’s eyes when she talked about that person.

Mu Yunyao smiled as she shook her head, “There is indeed such an esteemed guest, but he just left after seeing the ceremony. Mother, you don’t need to worry.”

“That’s good.” Su Qing was relieved to see that she could hide for a day. As a distinguished guest, he could not simply enter Su’s backyard. As long as she deliberately avoided him, she would never repeat the mistakes of her previous life.

However, Mu Yunyao slightly lowered her gaze and didn’t say anything. After experiencing so much in her previous life, she clearly knew in her heart that there were some things that she couldn’t avoid, no matter how much she tried. If escaping was helpful, then she would have buried herself in the dirt in her previous life to live safely to the end. It is hard to get away from the trick, and she had no choice but to be caught up in the torrential currents.

In this life, she would no longer choose to avoid it. Instead, she wanted to become the hand that stirred up the torrent. Although this might be difficult to escape, it was still better than being smashed into pieces by it.

“Little Sister Yunyao, I see that you’ve been sitting on the side the entire time, but don’t you think that the poem that Elder Sister Yuyi is reading is good?” Suddenly, Meng Yanran’s voice rang out, and the entire hall went quiet.

Muyunyao raised her head, and her eyes fell on her. Some people looked indifferent, while some sneered as they waited for the show. The smile on her face did not change. It was still as bright and beautiful as usual, and said, “Didn’t Miss Meng say before that I was born in the countryside, and I couldn’t even recognize a variety of chrysanthemums? And now you asked me about how was Elder Sister Yuyi’s poem? Wasn’t it all on purpose to humiliate me?”

The Eldest Madam’s eyebrows moved, and she felt a little resentful towards Meng Yanran. The reason she held this banquet today was to make Su Yuyi famous. However, she didn’t expect Meng Yanran to appear and directly use Yuyi as a raft to make things difficult for Mu Yunyao. Even if she wanted to revenge her for the slap, she shouldn’t be so disrespectful!

Meng Yanran bit her lower lip, raised her lips, and sneered. Anyway, she had already lost all her face at this time, so she didn’t care about losing it more. She merely couldn’t stand Mu Yunyao, who was clearly a countryside girl, so why was she sitting here with a light in her eyes? “Little Sister Yunyao, what are you thinking? You have such a small heart. The banquet today was set up to welcome you. Elder Sister Yuyi read the poem, and isn’t it normal to ask you about it?”

Mu Yunyao’s eyes flashed with a cold ray of light as she slowly stood up and walked the pot of chrysanthemum and golden hydrangea flower, which was placed in the hall. Her voice was neither slow nor slow, and she filled up Su Yuyi’s unrecited poem, “A set of rich and special makeup, lingering from spring to autumn. The solution turns the heavenly beauty for thousands of years and turns it into a nine-day yellow on earth. Condensed mist, proud and frosty, Dongli is just like Wuling Village. Sometimes drunken eyes secretly look at each other and mistake Tao Qian for Ruan Lang.”

Her voice was clear and beautiful, making her seem even more gentle and beautiful when reciting the poem. In the blink of an eye, everyone’s attention was drawn over to her.

Su Yuyi lowered her eyes and smiled as she stepped forward to hold Mu Yunyao’s hand, “I never thought that Little Sister Yunyao would also know this poem.”

Mu Yunyao smiled slightly: “I studied with my father for a few days and coincidentally read this poem. I quite liked the first few lines of the poem. I always thought that the sentence made people feel that they have a very different mood when reading it. AI also found that the last two lines seemed flat and reduced the momentum of the whole poem. When I told this to my father, he kept laughing, saying that I was still too young to understand and that when I can understand it in the future, e will be distressed.”

That last sentence could be understood as a woman trapped by her feelings, and her drunken eyes mistook others for her own sweetheart. Mu Yunyao was still young, so it was reasonable for her to be unable to understand the feelings. Once she could understand it in the future, she would grow up to be married off. As a father, Mu Cheng naturally couldn’t bear to part with his own daughter and felt deeply distressed.

As the smile on Mu Yunyao’s face faded, she turned to a touch of forbearance and sadness. “I still don’t understand what’s so good about these last two lines. Father must be blessed by the heavens, and he maybe will laugh at me again. Look at me. When I mentioned Father, I can’t stop myself from crying. I am sorry to let the ladies and gentlemen laugh at me.”

Some of the ladies could not help but open their mouths, “Sometimes drunken eyes secretly look at each other and mistake Tao Qian for Ruan Lang, isn’t this the same as thinking about the one whom they love? It was understandable that Miss Mu was still young and could not understand the situation. This Miss Yuyi... Now that I think about it, you should have reached the age of marriage negotiations, right?”

As soon as the words came out, a few chuckles could be heard from the surroundings. Sometimes drunken eyes secretly look at each other and mistake Tao Qian for Ruan Lang. Speaking of which, the Eldest Miss of the Su family had been coming of age. She had been raised in her boudoir for more than a year, yet they haven’t negotiated her marriage. I’m afraid she hates to marry now, right?

Su Yuyi’s face suddenly turned red, and the smile on her face could hardly be maintained.

The Eldest Madam quickly interrupted, “This golden hydrangea flower is so tender and can’t stand the smell of alcohol and tobacco the most. It’s better to move it out. This banquet’s purpose is to welcome Sister Su Qing and Niece Yunyao back to the Su family. In the future, they will often stay in the Capital, so I hope the ladies and young ladies will take good care of them.”

Seeing that the Eldest Madam was unwilling to say too much, the people who came to watch the commotion felt somewhat regretful. However, since the Su family was flourishing right now, no one dared to disrespect them.

“Miss Mu, I’ve heard that the clothes made in Ni Yun Fang make people look like immortals. I wonder when we’ll have the chance to experience it too?”

“In the past two days, I’ve been sending people to look for shops. When the shops have been decorated, we can send embroiderer ladies over from Jingling City. When that time comes, I’ll invite the ladies and young ladies to enjoy the opening ceremony.”

Many people’s eyes could not help but light up when they heard it. “Good, this is really great news. We don’t need to worry about not having clothes to wear in the future?” “However, I have heard that it is difficult to buy clothes from Ni Yun Fang. Sometimes, one might not even be able to buy them within a month or two. Miss Mu must take care of today’s affection and sell us two more pieces.”

~ SU QINGWU’S THOUGHTS ~ 

Mu Yunyao and Su You sat on a small stool at the edge of the corridor. Beside them were rows of chrysanthemums with golden stamens and pink petals. The long and narrow petals curled upwards. The layers of petals were beautifully arranged. Against the background, it looks like a pink lotus blooming on the green water, which is extraordinarily delicate and pleasant.

Seeing Mu Yunyao’s gaze fall on it, Su You frowned, “Let’s not talk about those troublesome matters. Some people like to live a peaceful life, but some people like to cause trouble for no reason.”

She couldn’t understand Meng Yanran’s thoughts. If she had a healthy body, she would definitely be able to accompany her parents, appreciate the beautiful scenery, and have a taste of delicious food … What’s wrong with it? Why do you have to look for trouble?

Mu Yunyao chuckled and stretched out a finger to tug at the chrysanthemum leaves. Seeing the pink flowers swaying slightly, she couldn’t help but deepen her smile.

Seeing her expression, Su You pursed her lips and retracted her gaze, “Don’t tell me you don’t know this kind of chrysanthemum? It is called pink peach because the petals bloom like pink peach, and they are famous. If I say, chrysanthemum is a chrysanthemum. What peach flowers, and is if it blooms yellow color not good? It’s boring for no reason. So annoying!”

Looking at her fuming appearance, Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but chuckle. “Every people is different, so the flowers are naturally the same. I heard my father say that he once saw a rare chrysanthemum. The flower wheel ring’s size as big as a jade plate, and it was completely red and gold in color. The petals are as red as blood, but the top of the petal suddenly turned golden. The flower blossomed like a phoenix bathed in fire. It was so beautiful that it could not be described in words, and as a result, someone named it — Phoenix Zhenyu.”

Su You blinked, her eyes filled with a surprise: “There really is such a beautiful chrysanthemum. How come I’ve never heard of it before?”

“Perhaps it is because the flower is too beautiful. It doesn’t want people to see it. Haven’t you heard? The famous flower is also intelligent, and some rare treasures can’t be seen to those who are not fated.” Mu Yunyao stretched out her arms to support her cheeks, leaning on the master of the corridor as she watched Su You with a smile.

Su You was regretful that he could not see Phoenix Zhenyu, who Mu Yunyao had mentioned before. However, when she lifted her head to look, she looked at her smiling eyes, and she could not help but be stunned. Her eyes were clear and transparent like a calm lake. At first glance, it seems that she can see the bottom, but it seems to be unfathomable when she explores carefully. The surrounding scenery is reflected in those eyes, but it makes people feel that no matter how beautiful things are, it wouldn’t enter her eyes …

Mu Yunyao blinked her eyes as she came back to her senses. She leaned slightly towards Su You, “Why are you staring at me like that?”

Su You suddenly regained her senses, stood up abruptly, and seemingly frightened. Because her movements were too fast, there was a dull ache in her chest. She suppressed the coughing: “Cough...”

Mu Yunyao stepped forward and held her wrist. Her other hand, pressing down on the acupuncture point on her chest. “You’re too weak to resist the wind. You should obediently stay in your room and don’t run around …”

Su You regained her composure and slapped Mu Yunyao’s hand away, “What weak? Aren’t I going to die soon? Are you from the countryside also looking down on me like they are, or are you afraid that I’ll stick up for you?”

Mu Yunyao’s skin was delicate and tender. Even though Su You’s hand strength wasn’t great, the back of her hand was still red.

Su You fiercely bit her lip, and a glint seemed to flash in her eyes. But in the end, it turned into stubborn and rebellious. She didn’t know why she was suddenly angry, but when Su You looked at Mu Yunyao’s eyes, she felt a great injustice surge up from within her heart for no reason, making her unable to control it at all.

Mu Yunyao raised her eyes and looked at her. She was initially a bit angry in her heart. But when she saw her appearance, she couldn’t help but pause for a moment. “What’s the matter with you? Family members know their own affairs. You know very clearly how your body is, even if I don’t tell you, will you be able to live for a hundred years?”

“You … I don’t need you to remind me, I know that I’m going to die, I already knew that. I wasted my good intentions in vain. I hate you!” As Su You spoke, she turned around and left. The maidservants that were sent to a distance quickly surrounded her and asked her what was wrong.

Mu Yunyao stretched out her hand to hold her and pulled her down, pressing her down on the stone bench. “What are you crazy about now? Don’t think that just because you’re sick that I dare not deal with you.”

“Miss Biao, our Fifth Miss is weak. Aren’t you going too far with her?” The old maid who had followed Su You over was already dissatisfied with Mu Yunyao, so she spoke directly with a cold tone, her eyes full of caution. Mu Yunyao glanced at her indifferently, then lowered her eyes to look at Su You. “Stop messing around. The wind is blowing now. You should go back and rest. What’s wrong with feeling wronged. Aren’t you just going to die? Many times, death is more comfortable than being alive. Moreover, you have Second Uncle and Second Aunt’s love, and …”

“What’s going on?” A clear voice sounded.

The surrounding female servants hurriedly bowed. “Greetings, Eldest Young Master.”

Su Qingwu’s gaze landed on Mu Yunyao and Su You. “Fifth Sister, your health is not good. You should go back and rest, in case Second Aunt worries.”

Su You stood up. Her face was so cold that it was hard to see her expression. It was as if her weakness and stubbornness just now were just an illusion. “Thanks for the reminder, Brother. I’m leaving.” With that, she led her people away without even bowing.

“Fifth Sister is sick all year round. Her personality is a little different than other sisters. You have to endure a little more.”

Mu Yunyao’s lips carried a light smile, and when she heard him, she nodded and bowed, “Thank you for your reminder, Cousin. I’m going to accompany Mother, so I’ll be leaving first.”

“Wait a minute.” Su Qingwu subconsciously stopped her, and when Mu Yunyao turned her head around, he was momentarily at a loss for words, “You … It seems that you understand His Royal Highness Jin Wang very well?” Otherwise, why would she know what he had done all these years?

Mu Yunyao frowned, “Cousin, what do you want to say?”

Su Qingwu looked at the Pink Peach at the side. “The chrysanthemums are full of beautiful things, but not every kind …”

Mu Yunyao suddenly sneered, “Cousin, no need to say anymore, I understand what you mean. The chrysanthemums were all beautiful, but not all of them were famous. Some of the flowers were naturally sought after. They are cultivated in fertile soil, irrigated with dew, given the scorching sun, and cared for day by day. Some were only waiting for the flowers to blossom into gorgeous flowers. Some flowers are born ordinary and unremarkable. They are only suitable for growing in the countryside and eventually scattered into the mud. People are the same. Some are born rich, while others destined to be mediocre and ordinary.”

Su Qingwu frowned. “That’s not what I meant.” He only wanted to remind her that the Third Prince’s identity was something she couldn’t afford.

“Then what does Cousin mean? Seeing His Royal Highness Jin Wang and I spoke, were you worried that I would disrupt Eldest Sister’s future prospects?”

Su Qingwu’s expression suddenly changed, “What does this have to do with Yuyi?”

Mu Yunyao smirked. “Then, you can treat it as me babbling nonsense. It’s getting late. Mother should be worried about me, so I’m leaving first.” After which, she turned around and left.

Su Qingwu stood where she was, staring at Mu Yunyao’s departing back with his deep eyes. Her body was covered in a jade-green water layer. The wind blowing in the corridor, and her skirts fluttered up. There was an illusion that she would take advantage of the wind at any time.

At the Mid Autumn Festival last year, she sat on the branch of the osmanthus tree. She was covered in flowers that looked like the mystique of the laurel. He threw away the osmanthus tree branch and used the excuse of his family to discard the little bit of beauty in his heart. But who would have thought that she would appear again? The seed that was about to wither suddenly broke out, which made him confused and frustrated once more.

Su Qingwu sat beside the stone bench where Mu Yunyao was standing just now and stretched out his hand to pick off a Pink Peach. The petals were delicate and beautiful like a scorching peach blossom, just like Mu Yunyao’s flawless face. He closed his palm and slowly crushed the petals, “The chrysanthemums are full of beautiful flowers, but not every one of them is precious. And some people, despite leaving so many precious treasures behind, just paid attention to one that grows in the countryside …Heh …”

~ ENEMIES ARE EXTREMELY JEALOUS WHEN THEY MEET ~ 

Meng Yanran was tongue-tied, “You …. You are trying to force the truth!”

Mu Yunyao chuckled, “If you think what I said is wrong, then don’t come to talk to me again. After all, you and I have nothing to say to each other!”

Zhang Wan looked at Meng Yanran and sighed in her heart, ‘Even the Emperor wants to win back the hearts of the people, saying that the people are important, that the country is next, and that the monarch is least. But she openly and secretly mocked Mu Yunyao’s birth. Didn’t she merely want to be humiliated?’

“Pa Pa Pa!” A round of applause rang out, causing the five people in the pavilion to immediately turn their heads over.

Su Qingwu walked over with a young man wearing a narrow-sleeved white robe with an ink splash pattern on it. His jet-black hair was tied with a golden crown. Under his slender eyebrows, his phoenix eyes were warm and flawless. His face was sharp, and his facial features were profound and clear. He was self-cultivation and elegant that one could not help sighing with admiration: What a fine young gentleman!

Looking at him, Mu Yunyao was taken aback. The noise in her ears gradually disappeared, and only the handsome figure in front of her became clearer. A cold light flashed in her eyes, and the chill flowed through her heart through her limbs. She could even hear the sound of her own blood freezing.

She heard a soft whisper in her ear:

“Yao’er, it’s my greatest regret that I can’t marry you in this life and allow you to walk shoulder to shoulder with me. You can rest assured that I will treat you like pearls and treasures in the future. I will hold you in my hand and put you in my heart. You will be happy for the rest of your life, and I will not let you down…”

It was the man in front of her who had solemnly vowed and said that he would be happy for his entire life and would not disappoint her. But he had sent her unconscious’s body to Yue Wang’s residence the next day…

When he was gentle, he was like honey. Even when he was cold and hard like iron, he could still twist his fingers and bend his fingers. When he lowered his head to look at you, he is full of eternal affection, which made people feel deeply stuck and drowned unknowingly.

When she died miserably, she screamed out countless times in her heart. She wanted to ask him why he gave her away, why he used such a miserable method to humiliate her to death. Didn’t he say that she will be happy for the rest of her life? Wasn’t he regretful that he couldn’t marry her? Even if he has a kitten or a puppy, he should have had some feelings for it over the years. So, how could he be so cold and ruthless?

Upon seeing Su Qingwu, Su Yuyi quickly stepped forward and greeted him, “Greetings, Elder Brother.”

Su Qingwu nodded her head, “Sister, this person is His Highness Jin Wang. Salute and greet him quickly.”

Su Yuyi looked up and was looking at Jin Wang with a smile. Her eyes were warm and moist. Although there was a hint of amazement in her eyes, there was no infatuation in them. It seemed that she was merely appreciating, and with the addition of his exceptionally handsome face, Su Yuyi’s heart involuntarily began to jump, a blush flashed across her face quickly. “Greetings, His Royal Highness Jin Wang.”

“Miss Su, please excuse yourself. I’m sorry for disturbing you.” After Jin Wang finished speaking, his gaze landed on Mu Yunyao. “I presume that this person is Miss Mu, who has received a reward from Royal Father?”

Looking into those eyes, Mu Yunyao seemed to hear a cracking sound beside her ears. The surrounding sounds suddenly converged back together, and her blood also started to flow again. The chill in her heart slowly disappeared and was replaced with a thick hatred.

The corners of her lips curled up. Her pure autumn water-like eyes were clear and black. Under her bright smile, her eyes became even more brilliant and flawless. “Greetings, His Royal Highness Jin Wang.”

“There is no need for Miss Mu to be so courteous. You have donated a hundred thousand taels of silver in Jingling City to give back to the people. Such kindness and benevolence are truly admirable.”

“His Royal Highness is not bad either. The year before last, you ordered to go Longping City for disaster relief. There was a plague in Longping City, and as a Prince, you didn’t care about your own safety, took the risk, and survived with the people together. Last year, you went to Ningzhou to build the dam. You ate and slept with the river workers and protected tens of thousands of people’s safety in the lower reaches of the Honghe River. Until now, there are still many people who have built the memorial archway for His Royal Highness Jin Wang. This kind of courage and insight is something that ordinary people cannot compare.”

Jin Wang’s eyes stirred as he looked at Mu Yunyao with surprise. “I didn’t expect Miss Mu to actually to know about this matter. It really makes me ashamed.”

“His Royal Highness Jin Wang’s reputation is extremely great. Many people know about it, so it’s not strange for me to know about it.” The corner of Mu Yunyao’s mouth lifted as she looked at Jin Wang with a gaze as bright as the sun on a peach flower. It was exceptionally bright and actually made Jin Wang momentarily absent-minded.

“His Royal Highness Jin Wang, why don’t you take a seat in the pavilion?” Su Yuyi, who couldn’t get a word in, spoke up.

Jin Wang shook his head, “Today is a banquet to welcome Lady Su and Miss Mu. I shouldn’t have disturbed you, but I just happened to come to see how Qingwu’s injuries were faring. I couldn’t help but stop after hearing what Miss Mu had to say just now. I won’t disturb you anymore.”

Su Yuyi was stunned for a moment before nodding her head, “If that’s the case, then I’ll send you off, Your Highness.”

Jin Wang nodded his head, and his smile became more and more gentle, “Today, I didn’t have the time to prepare the gift. I will make it up for Miss Mu another day.”

“One cannot accept gifts without merit. I have no friendship with Royal Highness Jin Wang, so I dare not accept your gift.” Mu Yunyao smiled as she shook her head.

Jin Wang paused for a moment before smiling, “You are as good as Royal Father said, honest and straightforward. It’s truly a rare sight.”

“Thank you, His Royal Highness Jin Wang, for your praise.”

Su Yuyi stood in the same place with a stiff face. She had heard many things about Jin Wang from her elder brother’s mouth and admired this Third Prince in her heart. She didn’t expect that the first time they met, his gaze wouldn’t land on her. Instead, she let Mu Yunyao got the limelight!

Meng Yanran once again lost face and almost went mad from anger. She grabbed Mu Yunyao in an attempt to find a way to make up for her loss, but she discovered that Mu Yunyao was like cotton that couldn’t be squashed, couldn’t be crushed, and no matter what you say, there was always a way to stop her from being speechless.

Mu Yunyao was very bored. Just as she was thinking about whether she should find an excuse to leave, she saw Su You walk over with the others. When she sees Mu Yunyao, her eyes lit up, and she waved: “Little Sister Yunyao, I’ve been looking for you for a long time. Come quickly.”

Mu Yunyao stood up. “Elder Sister Su You has something to discuss with me. Please, excuse me. I hope everyone will forgive me.”

Zhang Wan had already suffered greatly from the exchange in the pavilion. Now that she saw Mu Yunyao leave, she heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. “Alright, Miss Mu, please do as you wish.”

Mu Yunyao followed Su You out of Liulan Courtyard. After passing through the corridor, the voices faded away, and the seething hatred in her heart at the sight of Jin Wang gradually subsided.

Su You turned his head and looked at her, slightly snorting, “You little girl, shouldn’t you thank me?”

Mu Yunyao was stunned, then couldn’t help but laugh out loud. She raised her hand to pat Su You’s head, “You’re still a little girl yourself, yet you actually dare to call someone else this way?”

“You are really ungrateful! If I hadn’t called you out, you would still be dealing with Meng Yanran!” Su You took two steps back to avoid Mu Yunyao’s hand, staring at her in disbelief, “You’re an idiot if you want me to say so. That Meng Yanran is just like a stone in the pit. Others even can’t hide, but you want to get close to her. Are you not afraid that you will be contaminated by the stench?” “It’s not that I want to go up. It’s that someone can’t bear to see my peace.” Facing Su You, Mu Yunyao’s heart couldn’t help but soften. The girl in front of her still hadn’t reached her best of her life yet. But it looked like she was about to come to an end...

~ MENG YANRAN HAS BEEN PROVOKING REPEATEDLY ~ 

After Mu Yunyao stood up, she directly walked over to Lady Jin. “Daughter greets Mother.”

Lady Jin stood up and helped her up. With a face full of smiles, she sized her up before asking, “Yao’er, is everything alright?”

After hearing about the relationship between Su Qing and Mu Yunyao with the Su family, Lady Jin had hoped that they would come to the Capital as soon as possible. Finally, she was looking forward to them coming. Lady Jin had been waiting for two days to come to visit. However, she heard that Mu Yunyao had got slapped by the young miss of the Meng family. After carefully inquiring about the causes and consequences, she couldn’t help feeling distressed.

Now that Mu Yunyao’s face was practically devoid of traces, it was only then that she felt her heart, which had been hanging in the air this entire time, calm down.

“After coming to the Capital, my grandmother and aunts took great care of my mother and me. Everything was peaceful and good.” Mu Yunyao had a sweet smile as if there wasn’t the slightest bit of haze on her face.

Lady Jin lightly squeezed Mu Yunyao’s hand and replied with a smile, “That’s good.” She had no one to rely on when she came here, and she didn’t even know anyone. So she was framed and made things difficult for her. Fortunately, the Emperor summoned her to the Palace. The backyard of the influential house has always been the most tight-knit. It was not a secret that even if someone died, they would be able to do it soundlessly.

Mu Yunyao’s heart warmed. After accompanying Lady Jin for a while, she saw Su Yuyi walk over. “Little Sister Yunyao. Last time, we agreed that I would bring you to meet a few more people. Today is perfect for that. Everyone is here, let’s go talk together, how about it?”

Mu Yunyao looked at Su Qing, “Mother, please accompany my adoptive mother. Elder Sister and I are going to make some friends.”

“Alright.”

Lady Jin nodded at Mu Yunyao, hinting that she would take good care of Su Qing. Only then did Mu Yunyao relax and followed Su Yuyi’s footsteps.

There were all sorts of colorful chrysanthemums blooming outside, and none of the chrysanthemums that could be placed here were ordinary. With just a glance, Mu Yunyao could see Purple Dragon Lying Snow (Zi Long Wo Xue), Cinnabar Red Frost (Zhu Sha Hong Shuang), and Yotai Jade Pheonix (Yao Tai Yu Feng) … Each flower had a different shape and blooms to the extreme. It made people unable to shift their eyes away.

In order to make the young ladies more at ease, the ladies gathered in the main hall, leaving the courtyard empty for the young ladies to play.

Mu Yunyao followed Su Yuyi to the corner pavilion. With a glance, she saw the ugly Meng Yanran sitting in the pavilion. She couldn’t help but slightly raise her eyebrows. “I really didn’t think that this Young Miss Meng would dare to appear here right after being humiliated.”

Meng Yanran also saw Mu Yunyao. A trace of malice flashed past her eyes.

Su Yuyi didn’t stop and walked to the pavilion to greet a few young ladies who had already stood up.

Su Yuyi had a smile on her face: “Little Sister Yunyao, let me introduce you. You already know Little Sister Yanran, so there’s no need to say anymore. Here is the legitimate daughter of the Great Scholar’s residence, Zhang Wan. Here is the legitimate daughter of the head of the Imperial Academy, Zhou Yuyin. They are both older than you, so you should call them Elder Sister.”

Mu Yunyao stepped forward to pay her respects but didn’t follow Su Yuyi’s words to address them as an elder sister. Instead, she greeted them one by one according to their identities, “Greetings, Miss Meng, Miss Zhang, and Miss Zhou.”

At the end of the salute, Mu Yunyao glanced over Zhang Wanin intensively. She was the young miss of the Great Scholar’s residence whom Su Qingwu get betrothed. According to their agreement, the two of them would be married by the end of the year, but who would have thought that during the September Autumn Hunt, the Sixth Princess of Huai Yang would be able to recognize Su Qing with a single glance. She had threatened him to marry her and had even caused a commotion. If Su Qingwu didn’t want to marry her, he would have to leave the family, forcibly annulling this marriage.

“Miss Mu need not be so courteous. I have long heard of your good name. Seeing you today is indeed worthy of your reputation.” The one who spoke was Zhang Wan. She had a gentle and beautiful appearance, and her tone was exceptionally soft. At this moment, she was smiling as if she wanted to draw others closer to her.

The Great Scholar was extremely strict with their daughter’s upbringing. Every move of Zhang Wan’s was exceptionally well-behaved. However, her character was too soft and weak, allowing her to accept death’s reason. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been forced to die in the end.

Meng Yanran laughed coldly and said without concealing her hostility, “Is the wound on your face has healed? It’s strange to say that. I think about it carefully. That day, I didn’t really use much strength to beat you. Why are the scars on your face blue and purple, so how many days have they disappeared?”

She kept having the feeling that Mu Yunyao was the one who had done something to her, purposely acting pitiful to gain sympathy!

Mu Yunyao looked over indifferently, with a smile on her lips. “The skin on my face is delicate, and even I usually can’t stand bumping. It’s unlike an ordinary person whose skin is thicker and will not show any traces of being slapped the next day.”

Meng Yanran stared at Mu Yunyao with a gaze that caused people felt chills running down their spines. This bitch, didn’t she say she was thick-skinned? She took a deep breath to regain her senses, “Little sister Yunyao’s eloquence is truly something that no one can compare. You must have read quite a lot every day, right?”

Meng Yanran couldn’t use injuries as an excuse to belittle her, so just used her background?

Mu Yunyao is really a bit unpredictable about Meng Yanran’s mind. The best method right now for this person was obediently staying in the Meng family. Once this matter was settled, she would then think of a way to save her reputation. Who would have thought that she would actually appear at this banquet and take the initiative to be humiliated?

“Miss Meng should know that I’m from the countryside. I only speak the truth. I haven’t read many books.”

Zhang Wan, who was standing at the side, noticed that the situation had turned sluggish and could not help but say, “The chrysanthemum flowers in the yard are blooming quite well. I saw a Yatoi Jade Phoenix....”

Meng Yanran refused to let her go, her eyes full of sarcasm, “Sister Zhang, how did Little Sister Yunyao know what a Yatoi Jade Phoenix is? I’m afraid that she has only seen wild chrysanthemums blossoming in the countryside and might even think that the Ink Peony is a black peony flower! “

Mu Yunyao, on the other hand, didn’t care at all. She calmly looked at Meng Yanran, “People don’t know it when they are born. I have never come into contact with these rare chrysanthemum varieties. I don’t know if it’s excusable. Does Miss Meng have any advice for me?” Zhang Wan slightly heaved a sigh of relief. Everyone knew about the conflict between Mu Yunyao and Meng Yanran, and she was afraid that the two would quarrel on the spot. However, from the looks of it, Miss Mu was a sensible person. Even when she was scorned and humiliated, she isn’t angry. On the other hand, it was Miss Meng who was so aggressive, but she is inferior.

Meng Yanran sneered, “I’m afraid you wouldn’t understand even if I gave you advice. What can I say to you? Can you tell me the colors when I talked about wild chrysanthemums?”

Mu Yunyao’s gaze became cold, “Appreciating flowers has its own preferences. Some people like expensive and famous products, but some people prefer natural things. From what Miss Meng said, you looked down ad don’t like rural farmers. As a person, one must not forget one’s duty. Drinking water is still thinking about the source. Miss Meng enjoys the convenience brought by rural farmers, but she keeps looking down on others. Don’t you think you are hypocritical?”

“You, what did you say?”

Mu Yunyao’s figure stood straight, and her voice filled with authority, “Could it be that what I said was wrong? Which of the fragrant rice, vegetables, and fruit that you eat every day is not the result of farmers’ hard work? It could be said that they had gone through the cold to reclaim the land, had taken good care of it in the heat, and had poured sweat over it to make the food sweet in your mouth. If you looked down and did not like them, you could have avoided eating later on. You also wore satins and silks, without the farmers breeding the silkworm, without the farmers shedding the cocoons and reeling the silks. How could you wear so brightly today? That’s right, I’m from the countryside, but I’ve never been ashamed of it, so you don’t have to remind me all the time!”

Incurable Chapter 21 Part 2

It rained all night again, and light dust fell from the mountains. The tea garden of Wuling Tea House is wet and cold. Under the blue sky, several tea ladies pick the tea leaves.

The wooden window in front was high, so the line of sight was broad. Under the mist behind the tea plantation, you can see the tea plantation and the distant mountains. In the empty room, the wooden windows are wide open. The cool breeze is slow in the morning, and the air convection is also clean and fresh.

Mei Yaozhi sat on the hard carpet, sleepiness in his big eyes. His posture was casual, in sharp contrast to Liu Qianxiu, who sat upright before him.

There is a low table between the two people, with tea sets on the table, and a woman in Hanfu is performing the tea ceremony. The Longjing tea that has just been picked has a delicate green tea fragrance. The tea from the purple clay pot pours into the teacup, and the fragrance curls.

Mei Yaozhi takes another look at Liu Qianxiu. He was a highly self-disciplined and restrained person with a terrifying routine. Sitting this way, he watched the mist in the distant mountains gradually washed away by the sun. He seemed surrounded by a layer of immortal celestial air, incompatible with the world.

Yeah, it’s just out of place.

“Get up so early and drink tea at the tea house.” Mei Yaozhi took a cup of tea and drank it in one sip. The delicate fragrance went straight down his throat, making him less sleepy.

When the tea finished brewing, the woman withdrew back. Mei Yaozhi also straightened his body and began to talk about business. He handed the document to Liu Qianxiu and said, “The person you asked me to check it out last time.”

There was a crisp sound from the paper file bag, and Liu Qianxiu reached out and took it.

There is little information, only three pages up and down, but the content is very trivial and detailed. Mei Yaozhi briefly described it to Liu Qianxiu.

“The Mu family in Chengxi was engaged in cloth and tailoring. During the Republic of China, the family was prosperous and flourished in the 1980s. After the Mu family’s old lady passed away, Mu Yatang took over the Mu family’s business, but now it is not as good as before. Mu Wan followed her mother’s surname. Her Mother, Mu Qijun, became pregnant before she was married. To conceal this news, the Mu family said that Mu Wan was adopted by Mu Qijun. But she actually was born from her. The Mu family felt that Mu Wan had ruined their family tradition, so she was in a very unfavourable situation in the Mu family, especially after Mu Qijun’s death. Later, she moved out of Mu’s house as soon as she became an adult. Now, she has no contact with the Mu family.”

Mei Yaozhi recalled a small coincidence, then poured another cup of tea and said to Liu Qianxiu: “I used a trustworthy network of connections to find out the man who let Mu Qijun get pregnant before marriage, namely, Mu Wan’s father. Hey, it’s a coincidence that he is also...”

“Song Kangze.“ Liu Qianxiu said it lightly after reading the last page of the document.

Mei Yaozhi was taken aback and surprisedly said, “You really know him.”

Liu Qianxiu took out the second page of the document, which contained information about Mu Wan’s father. He looked down and said little.

“Then you asked me to check her because of her father?” After Mei Yaozhi finished speaking, Liu Qianxiu raised his eyes to look at him, noncommittal.

Mei Yao knew that he couldn’t understand Liu Qianxiu’s thoughts. He was like a pool of water, crystal clear to the bottom, but he couldn’t see how deep the pool was or what was at the bottom.

Without further questioning, he told Liu Qianxiu: “She is now an 18-line actress and some roles are quite hard to perform. If you want to help her, it’s just a matter of moving your fingers...”

Before Mei Yaozhi didn’t finish his word, his mobile phone rang. He glanced at it, got up, and said, “It’s time for me to go.”

Tapping his finger on the file bag, Liu Qianxiu saw him get up and said flatly, “Thank you.”

“What are you polite?” Mei Yaozhi smiled carelessly, remembering something before leaving. He tapped his head with his finger and said, “The old lady knows that I am looking for you this morning, and she let me tell you to come home with me for dinner in the evening.”

The old lady of the Mei family is Mei Yaozhi’s grandmother and Liu Qianxiu’s grandmother. Liu Qianxiu bent her lips, nodded, and said, “Okay.”

Mei Yaozhi also smiled and said, “Then I’m leaving. Oh, my dear mother, I usually haven’t had any tea in the morning. This is the first time I had a bellyful of tea...”

Before dawn, Mu Wan came to the photography base to shoot. This time, she was filming a war scene in which she played a military doctor. The scenes were blasting from dark to daybreak, and Mu Wan was choked with ashes.

It’s already daybreak, and the war scene shooting is over. She will make a sacrifice scene later, even if the filming of her role is finished.

She went back and forth to treat illnesses and save people. Mu Wan’s body lost her strength, and her back hurt. While the film crew was resting, she sat in a trench made of sacks and played Plants vs. Zombies.

The sunflower was not planted when her mobile phone shook, and a text message appeared at the top of the screen.

(Liu Dao Chang: Where are you?)

Mu Wan’s heart was shocked. She immediately opened the text message interface, tapped the keyboard, and replied to the message.

(Mu Wan: Filming at a photography base.)

After sending it out, Mu Wan’s teeth bit her lower lip and smiled, but she took a bite of ashes. She laughed and spat out two times, then returned one message.

(Mu Wan: How about you? What are you doing at home?)

He should be home now because he doesn’t have to work on Sunday.

Liu Qianxiu did not answer her question, but he returned another text message.

(Liu Dao Chang: I have an appointment tonight.)

With a smile on her face, Mu Wan understood what he meant. She shrank her back. Her small shoulders were slender and narrow, like a small tabby cat hiding in a corner. Suddenly, someone sat down next to her, choking on the dust. She coughed twice, and her mobile phone screen was dirty again.

“Mu Wan, look at that man. He’s so handsome!” Gao Mei sat beside her and pulled Mu Wan to let her look forward, “Is it an actor? It’s impossible. With this face, I would know if he’s an actor.”

Mu Wan felt a little sad, so she didn’t respond to Gao Mei, staring at her mobile phone screen to reply to the text message. Seeing that Mu Wan ignored herself, Gao Mei merely held Mu Wan’s face with her two fat hands, making her look toward the handsome guy.

“Hey...” Mu Wan’s small face crumpled into a small ball, her eyes swept randomly, and finally, she froze in front of her line of sight.

The smell of firearms and dust in the blasting scene is very nasty. Thick fumes billowed, and dust filled the sky. The man was standing there, wearing light-coloured clothing, with his body pure and meaningful. His eyes were light, clean, and cold. He looked independent from the rest of the world.

Mu Wan’s heart beat fast. She watched for two seconds and stood up from the trench.

Liu Qianxiu stood there, looking at Mu Wan from a distance. Her small face was dirty and dusty, with only one pair of eyes, which were still apparent and translucent. She was initially in disbelief when she saw him and then felt slightly flustered. She raised her hand and wiped the dust on her face. After wiping it for a long time, only a little piece of the cheek on the left showed the original whiteness.

She couldn’t clean it until the end, so she gave up and ran over from the trench. Her slender figure was agile and quick. She ran up to Li Qianxiu and looked back and forth at him several times as if she didn’t know for sure. After confirming finally, the corner of her eyes curled.

“What are you doing here?” Her voice trembled. She had just wiped her face, and her movement was too hard, so her face was a little red.

Liu Qianxiu looked at her quietly and said: “I don’t have time at night.”

“Huh?” Mu Wan was slightly confused. Her lips closed somewhat, and she nodded, “I know. I received your short...”

“Shall we have lunch together?”

The words in her throat stopped abruptly, and Mu Wan raised her head, her eyes brightened.

The author has something to say: 

Liu Daochang: Do you know what it means not to send you home?

The relationship between the two has begun to change~

Incurable Chapter 21 Part 1

Mu Wan’s body was empty. Liu Qianxiu pinched her waist with both hands and lifted her straight like a father holding up his daughter, petting and loving. She didn’t expect to see him so strong when he looked a little thin.

After the rain, the air was clear, the wind blowing was chilly, the basketball in her hand was cold, and the hand that  Liu Qianxiu held on her waist felt cool. Between heaven and earth, only she felt hot.

With his heart beating on her eardrum, Mu Wan’s palm sweats slightly, while the temperature of Liu Qianxiu’s palm is transmitted to her waist through the thin cloth, which is dry and cool.

She held the ball and straightened her arms. With force, her waistline moved, and the basketball went into the hoop with a ‘bang’ sound.

The basketball fell to the ground and quickly rebounded to hit the ground. Mu Wan listened to the ball’s sound and moved her eyes down, and then she was put down by Liu Qianxiu.

The ball didn’t bounce anymore and rolled away. Mu Wan panted quietly, and a layer of hot sweat broke out on her body. As soon as the wind blew, she instantly felt cold. It made her skin and heart tight.

However, the feeling after sweating was hearty. It was like the fog had subsided, and the ship on the long voyage had found the lighthouse. Mu Wan turned around, looked up at Liu Qianxiu, and asked, “Am I good?”

Liu Qianxiu’s expression remained unchanged. It seemed he didn’t use any force to lift her up just now. He said faintly: “Powerful.”

Mu Wan laughed, “I’m good because of you.”

She looked at him, and there was light in her eyes, like a fire. He looked at the fire quietly and asked, “Are you hungry?”

Maybe it was because she recently took two shots that consumed some of her physical strength or because of her problem that she didn’t know how to refuse. Mu Wan looked at him and nodded, “I am hungry.”

“Going home now?” Liu Qianxiu asked.

There was a flash of light in her eyes, her throat moved lightly, and the corners of Mu Wan’s lips curled up slightly. She looked back at the basketball, which made her neckline look smooth and beautiful.

“Come back.”

The two returned to Liu Qianxiu’s house, and Mu Wan went to find the three little ones to play with her. The little ones are now out of the kitten’s room and moving around in the cat’s room. The little guys are curious about the new place, but Zhou Yi is much more cold and calm, always lying on the cat climbing frame. Occasionally, it looked down when it heard the kitten cry.

Cats and cats develop feelings, as do humans and cats, but what about humans?

After dinner, Mu Wan accompanied Liu Qianxiu to clean up the kitchen and naturally sat beside him after they finished. Naturally, she hasn’t read the book. Mu Wan stretched her arms on the table, her chin pressed against the paper, smelling the faint fragrance of books, and her gaze traced Liu Qianxiu’s outline.

He remained quiet and indifferent as if nothing could disturb him. Mu Wan watched him for a while, then got up and went to the cat’s room.

After a while, Mu Wan exited the cat’s room and sat beside Liu Qianxiu again. This time, instead of lying on the table, she propped her hands back on the ground, looking in the direction of the cat’s room, and when she heard the faint cry of the baby cat, Mu Wan gently called out.

“It’s here.”

The man next to her finally moved. Mu Wan turned her head, looked at him with bright eyes, and said: “It’s not good to be bored. Let them come out and relax for a while.”

Liu Qianxiu looked at her quietly. His eyes were as clear as water, and the lights reflected on them. Inside, a woman’s figure was in a trance.

He didn’t speak, so Mu Wan thought it was disturbing him. Then she retracted her arms, sat up straight, and said, “Then I will send them back.”

“No need.” Liu Qianxiu said in a deep voice, lowering his head to continue reading.

After getting permission, Mu Wan’s eyes flashed a smile momentarily. She looked at the kittens who couldn’t find their way. She patted the carpet gently and said, “Come here. Mommy is here.”

After shooting, Mu Wan’s voice was lowered by half again, and she added something with a voice that she could only hear herself.

“Dad is here too.”

Liu Qianxiu paused slightly when his fingers turned over the book.

After shooting, Mu Wan’s voice was lowered by half again, and she added something with a voice that she could only hear herself.

“Dad is here too.”

Liu Qianxiu paused slightly when his fingers turned over the book.

Mu Wan naturally didn’t give attention to this little detail. The three kittens heard her voice and had a general direction. After a while, they staggered over with their short legs.

The light lengthened and enlarged the three small figures, who looked lovely and charming. Their soft voices were like marshmallows soaked in hot cocoa.

In the blink of an eye, the three little ones gathered at Mu Wan’s side. She sat cross-legged, and Ertong and Datou wanted to get closer to her, and their little paws stepped on her ankles.

The soft, warm little paws stepped on her ankles, making Mu Wan’s whole figure disappear. She was full of tenderness, reached out to help, and hugged the two little guys in her arms. When she was about to catch Zhongfen, she looked, tilted her head, and saw Zhongfen crawling on Liu Qianxiu’s legs.

Liu QIanxiu’s legs are long, and his sitting cross-legged is higher than Mu Wan’s, so Zhongfen is very difficult to climb. Zhongfen crawled twice, stomped on its tiny paws, put its chin on the man’s leg, and started to meow.

Just as Mu Wan was about to reach out and grab it, in her sight, a slender white hand caught the black and white Zhongfen. Liu Qianxiu’s fingers curled slightly, his movements were extremely gentle, and he placed Zhongfen on his legs.

“Meow~” Zhongfen acts like a baby.

Liu Qianxiu looked away from the book and fell on Zhongfen’s body.

One person, one cat, the scene was so warm and touching. He looked at it so quietly. The light hit his cheeks and eyelashes, making Mu Wan feel gentle and moving.

He stretched out his hand and stroked his fingers gently on Zhongfen’s head. Zhongfen was lying quietly on his legs, limbs stretched out, and its paws spread like a blooming flower.

“You’ve grown up.” Liu Qianxiu said in a low voice. His voice was long and distant, like a god in heaven speaking to a refined creature on the ground, revealing a shallow chill coming out of the clouds.

Mu Wan looked at ZHongfen, who lay on Liu Qianxiu’s legs. She folded her arms slightly and placed them on the short table. Putting her chin on it, Mu Wan looked at Liu Qianxiu and said.

“Liu Qianxiu, I want to be your cat, too.”

It was raining again outside. The sound of the cold rain attracted her attention. She lay on the table and looked out the window. Her body was soft and agile, while her posture was loose and sluggish. It’s like a kitten demon who has just taken shape in the growth and still doesn’t know how to sit.

Raindrops struck his eardrums. Liu Qianxiu looked at her and said, “It’s getting late. I’ll take you home.”

After Mu Wan was sent off to her home, Liu Qianxiu went home alone. The living room was heavily illuminated, and nothing else except his light breathing. Liu Qianxiu walked over to the short table and sat down. Then he picked up the book he hadn’t finished reading.

A black flash reflected in his sight. Liu Qianxiu raised his eyes and saw Zhou Yi squatting on the side. On the short table is a book that Mu Wan did not look at all after spreading it out before leaving.

The black cat sat there, seeming to overlap with Mu Wan's slender and soft figure. Zhou Yi called out, and there was only a mass of black in his sigh. After his pupils dilated, he looked at its dark body and eyes.

The empty living room is free of disorder and suitable for meditation. But Liu Qianxiu’s heart seemed unable to calm down, and he felt that the space was not empty, surrounded by loneliness and solitude.

Then, Mu Wan’s words echoed in his ears.

Liu Qianxiu, I want to be your cat, too.

With his eyes drooping slightly, Liu Qianxiu didn’t think further, lowered his head, and continued reading. At this moment, his mobile phone vibrated, and Liu Qianxiu glanced at the mobile phone screen. His eyelids moved slightly, and he closed his eyes.

“Tomorrow morning at eight o’clock, Wuling Tea House.”
