~ A PRAYER HALL WHERE NO ONE CAN PRAY FOR BLESSINGS ~ 

Su Qingwu’s heart tightened, he quickly went forward to support Mu Yunyao, “What happened to you?”

Mu Yunyao wanted to avoid Su Qingwu, but as soon as she moved, the pain in her eyes became more intense. Immediately, tears gathered in her eyes, “You don’t need to worry. Mind your own business!”

Su Qingwu, who had been pushed, did not let go of his hand. Instead, he pulled down Mu Yunyao’s sleeves and spoke with an almost imperceptible sense of urgency: “You must not use your hands to rub your eyes if you’re blinded by sand. Don’t move. I’ll help you blow it a bit.”

When she closed her eyes, she couldn’t see the things around her. Being surrounded by Su Qingwu’s breath, Mu Yunyao suddenly felt a burst of panic. She could not help but recall everything she had experienced in her previous life, and her breath suddenly became chaotic. “No need to trouble Cousin Brother, Si Qin.... Si Qin....”

She didn’t know if Si Qin was busy helping Su Qing organize her things or else, but she didn’t hear Mu Yunyao’s shout.

Su Qingwu frowned, raised his hand, and gently held onto Mu Yunyao’s face. The warm feeling from his hands caused his eyes to darken as he steadied his breath and whispered: “Don’t move recklessly!” After he finished speaking, he gently blew at Mu Yunyao’s eyes.

Mu Yunyao ignored the pain in her eyes and directly pushed Su Qingwu to the side. “Cousin, please have some self-respect.” Her eyes were slightly red, and as she forced them open, tears began to flow uncontrollably.

Su Qingwu looked at her now and then thought of what she had just said. He couldn’t help feeling a trace of regret. He shouldn’t have asked Mu Yunyao about it so frankly just now. After all, it was as she had said, she had indeed only been in the Capital for a short twenty days. Except when she twice entered the Palace, she didn’t even come out of the residence, so there was no chance to arrange something like this. More importantly, the girl dancing in front of Huan Cai Pavilion had the same dance posture as Yuyi, and Mu Yunyao had never seen Yuyi dance before.

“I just wanted to help you.” Su Qingwu frowned as he looked at Mu Yunyao.

“I dare not trouble Cousin.” Mu Yunyao turned and walked towards the side room. She wasn’t in the mood. She hated the Su family and didn’t have the slightest bit of goodwill towards Su Qingwu.

After finishing her work, Si Qin walked out. Seeing her like this, she hurriedly went forward to support her. Her voice filled with worry, “Miss, what happened to you?”

“I was blinded by the sandstorm. Please help me to take a look.”

Si Qin hurriedly helped Mu Yunyao inspect. After blowing for a few times, she blew the sand out of her eyes, “Is Miss better now?”

Although her eyes no longer hurt, she was still red with some tears. Mu Yunyao blinked and let out a sigh of relief. “It’s alright. Is everything in the room ready?”

“It has already been prepared. Miss, do you want to go back and res first?”

“Yes.”

Listening to the conversation between the two, Su Qingwu loosened his fist, expressionlessly twirling his fingertip. It seemed that there was a touch on his fingertips that had just touched Mu Yunyao’s cheek. It was warm as jade, smooth as cream, so beautiful that it caused one’s heart to tremble.

After a long time, he bent down and picked up a piece of ginkgo leaf from the ground. There seemed to be some emotions struggling in his eyes, but he suppressed them with his rationality, “All things in the world is transformed, everything in a state of mind is immobility....”

After he finished reciting the Buddhist scriptures, Su Qingwu turned around and left. But the ginkgo leaf he had picked up in his hand didn’t throw down in the end.

After settling down, they would have to kneel for four hours starting from the night.

Jin Lan and Jin Qiao had already started preparing for Su Qing and Mu Yunyao. Seeing that it was time to kneel down at night, they took out an exquisite the sewn cotton pad and tied it to their legs. The cotton pad was filled with herbs that could activate the blood circulation through the meridians. It was filled with cotton and was extraordinarily soft. In addition, there was a prayer mat that was prepared in advance. Thus, when they then used to kneel four hours, it wasn’t too much to bear.

Actually, most of the kneeling scriptures focused on that form, and they usually didn’t need to kneel for that long.

Mu Yunyao looked at Su Yaxian and the others, her heart filled with regret. She had implicated them this time, so when Su Yaxian planned to leave the Eldest Madam later, she could take this opportunity to help her, which is to repay today’s apology.

In the prayer hall, the candle was brightly lit, the sound of the wooden fish was quiet and pleasant, and the scent of sandalwood was calming the mind. Mu Yunyao brought up the Buddhist scripture she had copied and placed it on the incense table under the Buddha throne.

Su Yaxian and the others also placed the Buddhist scriptures that they had copied down on the side. However, they had only copied down two scrolls and compared them to Mu Yunyao’s twenty scrolls, which is in strong contrast for the comparison.

Su Qingwu couldn’t help but narrow his eyes as he turned to look at Mu Yunyao, only to discover that her expression was as usual. The corner of her lips held a slight smile as if there wasn’t the slightest bit of complaint or injustice.

Su Qingwu represented the Su family and stepped forward to offer his incense stick. He retreated, knelt on the prayer mat in front of him, and saluted.

After Mu Yunyao and the others followed to salute, they all knelt on the prayer mats and calmed their hearts, waiting for the monks to recite the Buddhist scriptures and pray for blessings.

For a moment, the entire hall was quiet. The only sound that could be heard was the wooden fish.

Mu Yunyao raised her head to look at Buddha, who was sitting high on the throne. Her eyes were exceptionally calm. After a long time, she leaned over and bowed towards Buddha, silently muttered in her heart: “I have been reborn, I wish my mother to live a long life.”

She had her own arrangement for the future. She could move forward step by step and not rely on the Buddha’s pity. The only thing she could wish for was her mother could live a long life. She hoped that her mother would live to a hundred years old. If this wish of hers could be fulfilled, then she will pay silvers to rebuild Baohua Temple. She will do it over and over again.

At the same time, Su Qing also saluted to Buddha on the other side. But what she prays for is that she hopes Mu Yunyao’s life will be safe, smooth, and never go through the hardships of her previous life again.

The wooden fish sounded regularly. Su Qingwu was actually reciting a Buddhist scripture. However, his purpose was not to pray for blessings but to calm his mind. He doesn’t want to let Mu Yunyao disrupt his mind, nor is he willing to fall into a dilemma because of her. So he tries to pull out the seeds that have taken root in his heart over and over again.

There was no need to mention the three sisters. Su Yaxian and her two sisters only hoped that time would pass faster.

Although they were nominally praying for the Old Master of the Su family in the prayer hall, no one could actually think of him there.

The first night passed peacefully. Although the time was a bit difficult, they had not suffered much when they were fully prepared, except that feel numbness in their knees as they knelt down.

After four hours, Mu Yunyao accompanied Su Qing back to the side room.

Si Qin and Si Qi immediately brought hot water to soak their legs in the cold air.

After Mu Yunyao finished soaking her feet, she felt much more comfortable. Just as she returned to her room, she saw a small slip of paper lying on the table. After opening it, she saw Yue Wang’s handwriting on it, which only had two words written succinctly: By the stream.

Mu Yunyao creased her brows and burned the slip of paper on the candle flame. Yue Wang also came to Baohua Temple?

~ GO TO BAOHUA TEMPLE ~ 

Mu Yunyao continued to copy for two days and one night before she finished copying the Buddhist scriptures on the day before Old Master Su’s death. She instructed Jin Lan to place the scriptures in the box properly as she became so tired and sleepy.

Just when she wanted to rest, she heard from Jin Qiao that Su Yaxian came over.

A few days ago, the Eldest Madam had announced that Su Yuyi was sick and that she was extremely ill. The doctors have even been invited to come several times. But in reality, according to her guesses, Su Yuyi had closed the door for teaching the woman that the Eldest Madam had found to dance the worship dance. It should be that she wanted the woman to replace the Moon Fairy from the Moon Palace in order to break all the rumors in the Capital.

Since Su Yuyi couldn’t go to Baohua Temple because she was “ill,” Su Yaxian and others would take her place.

Sure enough, after Su Yaxian entered the door and greeted them, she said, “Little Sister Yunyao, Mother arranged for me to come and invite Aunt to go with you to Baohua Temple to pray for Grandfather.”

“Thank you, Second Sister, for specially coming over. I wonder who else would be here besides us?”

“Since Father and Second Uncle both had their own work to do and couldn’t leave now, so Eldest Brother took a leave of absence and brought Aunt, you, Sister Yajing, and Sister Yaling to Baohua Temple. Originally, Eldest Sister was going there as well, but unexpectedly, she caught a cold a few days ago. Mother stayed in residence to manage the event in here. As for Little Sister Su You, her health has always been weak, and she rarely goes out of the residence, so naturally she can’t go out either. Second Aunt also has to stay in residence to look after her, so this year, only the few of us will be able to go out.”

Mu Yunyao smiled slightly, “This is also good. Coincidentally, my mother and I just returned back to the Su family this year, so we should specifically pray for Grandfather.”

Su Yaxian just smiled and didn’t say anything. She saw Su Qing walk down with her people. After bowing, she followed them out of Jiyue Pavilion and walked towards the inner door.

Someone had long prepared the carriage, so when Mu Yunyao and the rest arrived at the door, she saw Su Qingwu waiting by the side of the carriage.

Su Qingwu stepped forward and bowed to Su Qing, “Greetings, Aunt. The carriage has been prepared. The journey to Baohua Temple is a bit far. Please bear with it for a while.”

“It’s fine.” After Su Qing finished speaking, she brought Mu Yunyao directly onto the carriage and headed towards the East City Gate.

Su Qingwu rode on horseback. There were two carriages.

One was given to Mu Yunyao and Su Qing, while the other was given to the Su Yaxian and the rest. The carriage interior was very comfortable and spacious. Even with the servants they brought, it was still so large.

Si Qin brewed a cup of tea and passed it to Su Qing and Mu Yunyao. “Madam, Miss, it will take about an hour to get to Baohua Temple. You can take advantage of this time to rest. You will need to kneel for three days at Baohua Temple. It has been very tiring.”

Mu Yunyao immediately smiled when she thought of Qi Mama, who had been sent over by the Eldest Madam. Just now, she had been thinking about why the Eldest Madam had sent her over, but upon hearing Si Qin’s words, she understood that Qi Mama was a pair of eyes that the Eldest Madam had sent over. As long as she was a little out of order when she prayed in the Baohua temple, her reputation of being unfilial would spread out in an instant.

It’s just that she heard Yue Wang said that the Eldest Madam had bribed a few people to stir up some trouble on her way to Baohua Temple. She wondered when Eldest Madam doesn’t would choose to let people do it.

Mu Yunyao hadn’t been able to rest well for the past two days because of the Buddist scriptures. The carriage swayed slightly, and before long, she fell asleep while leaning on Su Qing’s shoulder.

Si Qin stepped forward and wanted to support Mu Yunyao, but when she saw Su Qing shake her head in refusal, she quietly sat to the side, constantly paying attention to her surroundings.

When Mu Yunyao woke up again, she was already at the foot of the Baohua Temple. “I actually unknowingly slept for such a long time. Why didn’t Mother wake me up? I’ve slept for such a long time, so your shoulders must be numb and senseless. “

Su Qing smiled at her. “These few days, you have been working extremely hard to copy the Buddhist scriptures. Mother wants to let you sleep for a while more.”

Mu Yunyao’s heart ached as she stepped forward to help pinch her shoulder. Upon touching it, she saw that Su Qing couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air. In her heart, Mu Yunyao was silently blaming herself for sleeping too peacefully.

However, Su Qing didn’t seem to care at all. She shook her head slightly and said, “Alright, I won’t be so spoiled. Besides, Mother is happy to see you sleeping soundly.”

Mu Yunyao couldn’t hold back her laughter. She helped Su Qing off the carriage and looked at the Baohua Temple, which was high up on the steps.

Baohua Temple had a history of several hundred years. This temple was the most magnificent ancient temple, had experienced two wars, and had protected many people. As a result, the incense burner here was very flourishing.

Every year, the Su family would come here to pray for their blessings. Therefore, they had already reserved a room in the inner courtyard of Baohua Temple. As soon as they entered the temple gate, monks came to lead the way. Mu Yunyao arranged for people to place the things they brought into the side room. She couldn’t help but walk out of the courtyard to look at the ginkgo trees nearby.

These ginkgo trees had been planted for who knows how many years. The towering canopy of these trees was enormous, and from time to time, yellow ginkgo leaves would fall to the ground.

Mu Yunyao slightly raised her head and stretched out a finger to catch a leaf. She gently smiled and said, “This place is really a good place for people to focus and calm their hearts.”

“Yunyao?” Su Qingwu stood not far away and looked at Mu Yunyao, who was holding onto a leaf. He couldn’t help but tighten his grip.

Mu Yunyao came to Baohua Temple in order to pay her respects to the Old Master Su, so she wore a simple and elegant dress. She wore a moon-white butterfly pattern plain dress, and even the jewelry on her head had been replaced with silver pearl hairpins, which made her look more and more flawless.

Seeing Su Qingwu, the smile on Mu Yunyao’s face became colder: “Cousin Brother, what can I do for you?”

“Have you finished copying your scripture?”

“Of course, I’ve copied it. That’s my filial piety for Grandfather. Although Eldest Aunt has sent a lot of scriptures, since it’s filial piety, then even if I can’t sleep for a few days, I still have to finish copying the scriptures.”

Looking at the smiling Mu Yunyao, who was totally on guard, Su Qingwu felt very uncomfortable. He wanted to break her mask and let her reveal her real emotions to him. “Do you know of the rumors about Yuyi in the Capital?”

Mu Yunyao slightly raised her brows. “The matter has been spread like this for so long. Does anyone in the Capital not know?”

“Then does this have anything to do with you?” For some reason, the first person he suspected after the matter came out was Mu Yunyao.

“Cousin said this strangely. I’ve only been in the Capital for a few days, and I don’t even leave the residence, so what ability do I have to arrange this? Besides, I only want to live peacefully, and I don’t want to cause any trouble. Cousin framed me for no reason. Don’t tell me he wants me and my mother to die?”

Mu Yunyao had just finished speaking when a gust of wind blew past, stirring up fine dust, which happened to fascinate her eyes and causing her to raise her sleeves hurriedly to cover herself. She closed her eyes and let out a low cry.

~ YUE WANG WHO DOESN’T TAKE THE USUAL PATH ~ 

Mu Yunyao couldn’t stop herself from laughing, “Okay, okay, I’ll give you a good wash in a while. I’ll definitely be able to wash it clean.”

The Snow Fox was so sad, stopped crawling on the table, jumped onto the bed, and hid in the corner of the bed while licking its front paws. It probably felt that the taste was not good after licking twice and silently lied on the brocade quilt.

Mu Yunyao laughed for a long time before reaching out to pick up the Snow Fox. Holding both of its front paws, she lowered her head and rubbed its forehead: “Alright, don’t be angry anymore. Be a bit more obedient.”

The Snow Fox stuck out its tongue and licked Mu Yunyao, coincidentally licking the tip of her nose, made Mu Yunyao shake it a little, “I’ll give you some dried meat to eat later.”

“Squeak squeak.”

Just as Muyun Yao was about to get up, she heard the movement coming from the window. She suddenly trembled in her heart and turned her head to be on guard.

On the edge of the window sill, Yue Wang leaned against the window, with one leg bent and the other hanging. His posture was very relaxed, and he was staring at her without blinking. His expression was cold, but his eyes filled with a smile. Just like old wine, you can be intoxicated in a moment.

“Your Highness, don’t you think that your actions are disrespectful?” Mu Yunyao was infuriated in her heart. She doesn’t find out when Yue Wang came. Moreover, this was the Su family residence and wasn’t some ordinary small family. He went back and forth so unscrupulously. If he was found out, he would surely make trouble and would make the whole country restless.

Yue Wang jumped down from the window sill and slowly walked in front of Mu Yunyao. He picked up the Snow Fox and threw it to the side. “You can’t be so accustomed towards it.”

The Snow Fox was thrown onto the ground and bared its fangs at Yue Wang, making sinister sounds from its throat.

Yue Wang looked over coldly, scaring the Snow Fox to the point it trembled. It dodged towards Mu Yunyao’s feet to hide, but it didn’t give up glaring at Yue Wang. “Wuwu …”

Mu Yunyao bent down to pick up the Snow Fox. She gently stroked its back. “It’s alright, go play by the side.”

After pacifying the Snow Fox, Mu Yunyao turned around to see that Yue Wang was reading the Buddhist scripture she had copied. and she became even more furious, “His Royal Highness Yue Wang, shouldn’t you be returning?”

“With so many scriptures, can you finish copying them in the next two days?” Yue Wang didn’t answer Mu Yunyao and directly asked what he thought in his heart.

“To trespass into the residence of an official does not seem like the style that the fourth prince should have.” Mu Yunyao’s tone was solemn.

“If you can’t finish copying the Buddhist scriptures, there will definitely be gossip spreading around.”

“His Royal Highness Yue Wang!”

“Moreover, I received news that the Eldest Madam of the Su family sent a servant to contact some people. She probably wants to stir up some trouble on the way to Baohua Temple in two days.”

Mu Yunyao’s eyes turned cold. Finally, she did not insist on letting Yue Wang leave, “Who did she contact?”

“Some people with high standards.” A hint of a smile flashed through Yue Wang’s heart, “Don’t worry. I can get someone to help you settle it in advance.”

“No need. The Eldest Madam is looking for trouble for herself. Naturally, I will help her.” As Mu Yunyao spoke, her eyes flashed with a cold light.

With regards to this answer, Yue Wang was not the least bit surprised. “There is still a important piece of news for you. In two days, Grand Princess Yi De will also be heading to Baohua Temple.”

Mu Yunyao suddenly raised her eyes. “Really?”

“Naturally, I won’t lie to you. Every year, as long as Imperial Aunt is in the Capital, she will definitely go to Baohua Temple and pray for the incense.” Yue Wang said with a smile.

“At the moment, all the young ladies in the Capital were staring at Grand Princess Yi De. If they knew that the Grand Princess Yi De was going to Baohua Temple, they would have broken the threshold of Baohua Temple. Why didn’t they hear anything from her?”

“The reason she went this time to pray for the lost daughter of Imperial Aunt, so she didn’t want to make it public.”

Mu Yunyao nodded her head, “So that’s how it is. I thank His Royal Highness for the news.”

“How are you going to thank me?” Yue Wang’s eyes shined as he looked at Mu Yunyao, with a glimmer in his eyes.

Mu Yunyao slightly moved the space between her eyebrows, feeling that today’s Yue Wang was particularly abnormal. “His Royal Highness, it’s getting late. You really should go back.”

“Alright.” After Yue Wang finished speaking, he stood up immediately, as if he had come here to take a risk in order to say these two words. He had just reached the window sill when he suddenly stopped. He turned around to look at the Snow Fox that Mu Yunyao had placed on her bedside. “It’s said that the Snow Fox in Western Guangdong would have fleas on its body. Don’t let it go to bed, and don’t often hug it.”

Mu Yunyao widened her eyes. Just as she was about to ask something, she saw Yue Wang directly stepping on the windowsill and jumping down. The Snow Fox innocently raised its head to look at its master. It leaped off the bed and ran to Mu Yunyao’s feet, gently rubbing against her skirt. Mu Yunyao bent down to pick up the Snow Fox. After a moment of expressionless silence, she suddenly became a little discouraged. “How could there be fleas?” Although she said that, she still cared a bit about it in her heart. She held the Snow Fox as she searched carefully for a long time, and only then did she slowly relax her mind.

The Snow Fox didn’t realize that it was almost driven out of bed by Mu Yunyao. It thought that its master was playing with it and swung its tail exceptionally happily.

After delaying for a while, Mu Yunyao once again looked at the Buddhist scriptures on the table and instantly lost the desire to continue copying them. She directly carried the Snow Fox to bed to rest.

The next day, Mu Yunyao accompanied Su Qing to eat breakfast. Just after finished their breakfast, the Second Madam came in with a face full of smiles, “I heard that Yunyao is copying Buddhist scriptures these days. It just so happens that I have some top-grade Guizhi Ink, so I brought it over to Yunyao.” As she spoke, she personally took the small wooden box from the maid’s hands and handed it over to Mu Yunyao.

Mu Yunyao received the wooden box and opened it. When she opened it, her eyes couldn’t help but fill with joy. Inside the box were six-ink sticks. Each ink stick had the texture of black jade and carved beautiful pictures of flowers and birds. The patterns on each ink stick were different, but they were full of charm, especially the flying birds. It can be described as delicate.

“Thank you, Second Aunt. This gift is so valuable.”

“No matter how expensive the gifts are, no one is important. I still have to thank Yunyao for taking care of You’er.” Yesterday, Su You’s attitude suddenly softened, making Second Madam feel like she was in a dream. She couldn’t stop herself from smiling when she went to sleep at night. When she thought about Su You’s change, it was because of Mu Yunyao. Her heart filled with gratitude.

“Elder Sister gave me a lot of fruit, and the two of us also took care of each other.”

“Isn’t that how sisters look after each other?”

Mu Yunyao’s eyes moved slightly as she gently nodded her head, “Second Aunt’s words are reasonable.”

The Second Madam’s smile deepened. “I came here specifically to deliver the ink. Since the ink has already been delivered, I won’t waste any of your time. There are so many scrolls of Buddhist scriptures. It won’t be easy to finish copying them.”

The Eldest Madam was so angry with Yunyao this time that she almost fainted. If it were her usual attitude, she wouldn’t have done something so outrageous like this. Even with all twenty volumes of the Buddhist scriptures, she still found all of them.

Mu Yunyao smiled and nodded, “It’s all due to my filial piety to Grandfather.”

The Second Madam lightly patted Mu Yunyao’s hand, “I like your personality. Alright, I won’t continue disturbing you. Hurry up and write. After you finish writing, you have to deliver it personally to Baohua Temple!”

Hearing the deliberate emphasis in the Second Madam’s voice, Mu Yunyao smiled and knelt down, “I’ll send Second Aunt on her way.” The Second Madam came and went in a hurry, but both sides understood what she wanted to say, so there was no need for her to say anything more.

~ FILIAL PIETY ~ 

The Second Madam didn’t dare to say much. She feared that the moment she spoke would make Su You return to how she used to be. Hearing that she wanted to eat something, she quickly instructed the servants to go down and prepare some pear cakes, “I remember that you loved your mother’s steamed pear cake the most when you were young. It’s autumn now. Steamed pear cakes with rock sugar can moisten your lungs and relieve asthma. Mother will make some for you to eat, okay?”

Su You obediently nodded her head, “Then Mother, go quickly.”

“Ai, alright. I’ll go now. You wait for a moment.” The Second Madam quickly left the room, and when she reached outside, she couldn’t help but take out a handkerchief to wipe her tears. “Where did Miss just go?”

The maid hurried forward to reply, “Reporting to Second Madam, Young Miss has just gone to Jiyue Pavilion.”

The Second Madam sighed and wiped the tears off her face. With a smile, she said, “It looks like I’ll have to find a chance to take the gift to Jiyue Pavilion.”

In the following few days, Mu Yunyao spent every day copying Buddhist scriptures in Jiyue Pavilion and would occasionally hear news of the East District in her ears from time to time. She heard that Eldest Young Miss was so angry that she broke her beloved tea set, and the Eldest Madam had even ordered to punish several servants who chewed their tongue… After hearing this, she just laughed it off and didn’t take it to heart.

What surprised her was that Su You actually gave her a Buddhist scripture the next day. The handwriting on it was almost the same as the one she had damaged earlier. Mu Yunyao told Jin Lan to keep this Buddhist scripture, but she didn’t intend to use it.

The Eldest Madam has been so busy these days, and she doesn’t know what is going on. Some common rumors had passed quickly, but the news about Su Yuyi being the Moon Fairy of the Moon Palace was getting more and more intense. It had been a few days, yet there were no signs of it calming down.

She wanted to find someone to take the place of the Moon Fairy from the Moon Palace, but this person wasn’t something that could be found in a hurry. First of all, she had to have a somewhat similar figure to Su Yuyi, and she also had to know how to dance the worship moon dance. Just in case, she asked to investigate the identity of the original dancer that day. In addition, as the day of the Old Master’s death neared, she had to arrange for someone to go to Baohua temple to recite scriptures and pray for blessings, which made her very annoyed.

“Madam, the Eldest Young Master is here, and he has a woman with him.”

The Eldest Madam was overjoyed. “Let Qingwu come in quickly.”

After Su Qingwu entered the room and bowed, he immediately gestured the woman behind him to stand in front of the Eldest Madam: “She’s the one I found. She’s trustworthy, and her figure is similar to Little Sister Yuyi. All you need to do is have Little Sister teach her the worship moon dance, and it will be enough to deal with all the rumors in the Capital.”

The Eldest Madam carefully sized up the woman Su Qingwu had brought with him. After a long while, she nodded in satisfaction. “Indeed, it’s not bad. Qingwu, it’s all thanks to you.”

Su Qingwu gestured for the woman to be led away before speaking to the Eldest Madam, “Mother, the wood is in the heart of the forest, and the wind will destroy it. This time, the rumors of the Capital’s voice can’t be put down for a long time, and it has a great deal to do with Yuyi’s outstanding performance.”

The Eldest Madam’s gaze immediately sharpened. “I felt that the rumors spread too quickly in the Capital. Furthermore, there was no signs of calmness after a few days. So it seemed that there was someone behind the scenes. Could you found out who it was?”

“Mother, don’t investigate this matter anymore.Currently, all of Father’s colleagues are hoping for their daughter could enter the eyes of Grand Princess Yi De. Since Yuyi is in the limeligh at the Palace Banquet, she naturally has to prepare to be targeted.”

The Eldest Madam was indignant. “Hmph, I knew those people didn’t have any good intentions! Qingwu, have you found out who performed that Moon Fairy from the Moon Palace?”

“I can’t find anything.” Su Qingwu’s expression was grave and solemn. There was no clue at all regarding this matter. There had been no news about it in advance. Even the procuress of Huan Cai Pavilion had no idea of what was going on as if it was impossible to investigate.

Su Qingwu’s forehead twitched. “Mother, Yuyi is already quite outstanding. There’s no need to help her intentionally make her name known.”

The Eldest Madam disagreed with him, but there were some things that she could not say to him now: “I have my own plans on this matter, and the woman you found today is already of great help. For the next few days, Yuyi will need to stay at home and teach that woman the worship moon dance and go to Baohua Temple to help your grandfather pray for blessings. I can only let you do it for her.”

Su Qingwu wanted to continue persuading her, but the Eldest Madam didn’t have the heart to listen, “I’ll go and tell Yuyi the good news right now. She has become irritable these few days, and she seems to have lost a lot of weight.… That’s right. By the way, this year was the first year that Su Qing and Mu Yunyao returned to the Su family, so no matter what, they have to express their filial piety towards the Old Master. I let Mu Yunyao copy the Buddhist scriptures and let the two of them go to Baohua Temple together.”

“Aunt and Mu Yunyao are going as well?”

“That’s right, Su Qing is a daughter, so it’s appropriate to go. Although Mu Yunyao is a granddaughter, she also has the blood of the Su family. Naturally, she should have a share of filial piety.” In the eyes of the Eldest Madam, Mu Yunyao makes her feel uncomfortable. How could she let the other party have a good time? Mu Yunyao had repeatedly stepped on her face, so this debt should be settled. Did she really think that just because she had mixed up in Jingling City, she would have a chance to establish herself in the Su family? If she didn’t try the depth, she would merely jump in and drown herself in the end.

Su Qingwu opened her mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, no words came out. He watched the Eldest Madam walked out.

It was already late in the night, but the candle flame in Mu Yunyao’s room was still lit. The books that the Eldest Madam had found were all thick and solid. If she did not make good use of her time, she might not finish them all.

The Snow Fox circled around Mu Yunyao’s feet. Realizing that she was not paying attention to it, it used the stool to jump onto the table. Waving its tail, it circled and flicked around Mu Yunyao.

“Squeak!”

Mu Yunyao’s hands hadn’t stopped moving. “Play around by yourself for a while and don’t cause any trouble here. If you destroy the scriptures I copied, I’ll skin you alive and turn you into my fur collar.”

Naturally, the Snow Fox didn’t understand her words. Seeing that she would occasionally dip her finger in the ink at the inkstone, it carefully leaned over and stretched out its front paw to fiddle with the ink sticks inside the inkstone.

Mu Yunyao stopped and lightly tapped the Snow Fox’s front paw with the brush. Instantly, a ball of ink was smeared on the snow-white fur. The Snow Fox takes back its front paw fiercely and thinks that it is injured. The Sow Fox lies on the table and rolls.

Mu Yunyao was amused by its actions. Seeing the Snow Fox’s appearance as if the sky had collapsed, she couldn’t help but stretched out her finger and pointed its head: “Do you dare not be obedient in the future?”

The Snow Fox was still lying on the table, moving its hind legs from time to time. Under the light of the candle flame, its eyes were watery, as if they were tear-stained, which made people feel very distressed when they saw it. “Uhhh...”

Mu Yunyao put down her brush and reached out to hold the Snow Fox in her arms. She took out a handkerchief and dipped it in water to wipe off the black marks on its front paw. Unexpectedly, the Snow Fox’s front paw had become wet, and the ink was faint. The more she wiped, the worse the scene was. Finally, the whole forepaw was black.

At this moment, the Snow Fox really wanted to cry and howled even harder while holding its paws.

Incurable Chapter 25 Part 2

Mu Wan is a Buddhist actor. After signing with the company, she seldom contacts other artists in the company. She only goes to the company when the artists get together but is not very close to the company’s actors.

Not only the actors but also not very close to her agent. Li Nan communicated with her frequently through WeChat when he needed to inform her to go filming. Mu Wan’s performance is good. There are a lot of dramas or movies, and she doesn’t choose roles. Although she supports actors, her ability to make money is reasonably good. Apart from not being self-motivated, there is nothing wrong with it.

She came to him on her own initiative. 80% of them were in trouble, or something must have happened.

Li Nan looked up from the script, and before Mu Wan said it, he told her some news first.

“The crew has just informed me that the scene you will shoot tomorrow and the day after tomorrow has been cut. You don’t have to go to the crew tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.”

Hearing this news, Mu Wan didn’t feel surprised. She thought about it and said, “Then I haven’t scheduled this week.”

After she said that, Li Nan also noticed something, but he didn’t think about it elsewhere. She is a minor supporting role who hasn’t blocked anyone’s way. Her scenes are all minor roles and won’t conceal anyone’s edge. There is no need for others to target her. Moreover, Mu Wan’s personality is not like a troublemaker. She is also very clever and knows how to handle interpersonal relationships well. Looking closer, Mi Yu is so hard to get along with, but she can peacefully get along with her.

“Then you will rest this week, and you could consider it a vacation.” Li Nan finished speaking and said very officially: “Don’t worry about other things. There will definitely be a schedule next week. Since you have signed up for our company, it is impossible for the company not to find resources for you.”

She came to Li Nan only to confirm and make sure. She listened to Li Nan’s words but didn’t hear too much. The crew was filming the drowning scene, and the female lead was pushed into the water. When she climbed up, she heard that she needed to shoot again. Thus, her face has been pulled down.

She filmed many scenes in the water and was hit heavily in the water. She was already shivering in the cold weather, so she jumped again because the leading role did not perform well.

Withdrawing her thoughts, Mu Wan raised her eyes to look at Li Nan, smiled at him, and said, “Okay. Thank you, my lord.”

Li Nan didn’t say anything, and then Mu Wan turned around and prepared to leave. Before leaving, she bid farewell to Li Nan and Mi Yu. As she was about to leave, Mi Yu drank ice water and said, “What kind of enemy did you meet?”

Mi Yu was also in the early morning scene today. When she came over, she saw Mu Wan going to another crew in the morning. She just came to find Li Nan now, so she probably waited a long time in that crew and was finally notified that her scene had been cut off.

Mi Yu experienced this sort of thing several times while still unknown. She has been in the entertainment industry for many years, so there have been many back-and-forth routines, which is okay.

Not only Mu Wan but Li Nan also looked at Mi Yu. Mu Wan watched Mi Yu’s expression and quietly waited for her to continue.

“There’s not so much coincidence that the scenes have been cut for three consecutive days.” Mi Yu murmured as if she were talking to herself or Mu Wan. “In the entertainment industry, we should put our attitude right. We are all slaves of capital. Someone with ability but no background, so it’s as easy for someone to crush you like an ant. People can be vigorous, but they have to eat first.”

After all, she had fumbled around in circles, and her words were straightforward and realistic, with some hints.

After hearing this, Mu Wan smiled and said, “Yes. Thank you for the advice, Sister Yu.”

It is only eleven o’clock, and the shooting at the photography base is not over yet. Actors in costumes come and go and rush to the next crew production.

She is the only idler in the busy photography base, and it is the first time she has been so idle.

She has no enemies, and even Mu Qing is not her enemy. She always thought she was just a piece of mud to the Mu family, and after throwing her away, it had nothing to do with how she lived.

But this is not the case. Even if Mu Wan is a piece of mud, Mu Qing must step on her muddy dignity to show her superiority.

The sky above her head was blue and white, humid and hot. Mu Wan didn’t continue to bask in the sun anymore. She hired a taxi and made a phone call.

“Hey, Liu Qianxiu. I’m finished shooting. Can I come over for lunch at noon?”

After taking a taxi to Liu Qianxiu’s house, Mu Wan stood at the door and rang the doorbell. After a while, the door opened, and Liu Qianxiu, who wore long clothes and trousers, stood at the door and looked at her quietly.

“Did you not go to work?” Mu Wan looked at Liu Qianxiu and asked with a smile.

The long clothes and trousers on his body are very loose. After spending time together for so long, Mu Wan also roughly understood Liu Qianxiu’s lifestyle. His clothes are well-tailored; after getting off work at home, they are more comfortable and casual, like a Taoist.

Seeing her entering the door and changing her shoes, Liu Qianxiu closed the door and said, “I just came back.”

The room had an air conditioner, and the outside heat was blown away. Mu Wan changed her shoes with his slippers and entered the room. Then she saw three little cats walking out of the cat room with short legs.

“They haven’t been fed yet.” Liu Qianxiu said.

Mu Wan was more casual now. She walked to the cat room door, sat down, and hugged the three little ones. With three fluffy animals in her arms, Mu Wan raised her head and smiled at Liu Qianxiu: “Then you can go to make lunch, and I’ll feed them.”

Her face was flushed with heat, hidden under her snow-white skin, with some makeup. Her thin shoulders shrugged slightly when holding the three little ones, and her legs bent. She curled up there and looked like a cat.

Liu Qianxiu looked at her and didn’t leave. He stood there, watching Mu Wan holding the kittens, her white and slender fingertips covered with fluffy cat hair. Then he said, “I will send them to my friend tomorrow.”

Holding three little ones in her arms, Mu Wan raised her head. She looked at Liu Qianxiu, her long eyelashes swept across her eyes, blinked, and asked, “Didn’t you just pick them up?”

“Yeah.” Liu Qianxiu answered, “I’m going to Qingyuan Temple on Wednesday afternoon, and I’ll be back next Monday.”

Her arms were slightly loosened, and the three little ones in her arms rolled out like small glutinous rice balls. Mu Wan’s bent legs fell, and the soles of her feet were pressed together. She circled one of her legs and kept the three small ones inside.

The kitten’s cry was soft and sweet, but Mu Wan was unmoved. She sat quietly and watched, like a lonely island in the ocean. Mu Wan was indeed alone and lonely. She didn’t have a job for the next half a week, but Liu Qianxiu was not at home and didn’t know where she could go.

In the living room, a fragrant smell occasionally wafted, mixed with the sound of a cat, which was particularly pleasant.

She got up from the ground and squatted instead of standing. She looked down at the kitten and stretched out her white and slender fingers. Mu Wan teased Zhongfen, who was walking next to her. After teasing me for a while, she suddenly said something.

“What do you want me to do when you leave for so many days?”

After speaking, she looked up at Liu Qianxiu with a faint light in her eyes. Afterwards, she lowered her head again, slowly rotating her fingers around the top of Zhongfen’s head, adding one sentence.

“What do I want you to do?”

The voice was soft, like a cat’s paw rubbing on the carpet, softly hidden in the meat cushion so that it could not be heard.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and Liu Qianxiu looked at the back of her neck, which was exposed when she lowered her head. It was white and slender, with untied pieces of furry hair scattered on it.

With his lipline pressed, Liu Qianxiu spoke, and his voice was deep.

“Any other questions?”

She was stunned for a moment. Her fingers stopped moving, and she looked at Liu Qianxiu’s face. With her shoulders hanging down, the kitten’s paws touched her fingertips. It was soft fur and soft pads.

Mu Wan’s heart beat faster, and she mustered up the courage. He asked her if she had any questions. She still had a problem but didn’t know if he would agree.

With light in her eyes, Mu Wan stared at Liu Qianxiu and asked calmly.

“Then can I go with you together?”

“Well.” Liu Qianxiu said lightly, looking at Mu Wan’s eyes widening because of surprise, and said, “Yes.”

The author has something to say: 

Liu Daochang: They miss me and I don't know what to do, but if you miss me, just go with me.

Incurable Chapter 25 Part 1

The movie ended, and the two left the theatre. At nine o’clock in the evening, it was also deserted.

Liu Qianxiu was still behind her when he first came out of the movie theatre, and now he walked to her side. Mu Wan looked at him sideways. His expression was as usual, and his dark eyes did not look tired.

When he was in the movie theatre, he slept all the time. When Mu Wan was on the screen, he opened his eyes and looked at it for a while. After seeing it, he closed his eyes again.

Wake up to see you.

The popcorn sweetness filled her nose, and Mu Wan bit her lower lip and laughed.

“How did you come here?” The two of them walked outside the movie theatre. The road was divided into two paths, one toward the elevator and the underground parking lot and the other to the shopping mall exit.

Liu Qianxiu stopped, looked at Mu Wan, and replied, “Take a taxi.”

He had just finished the surgery and was so tired that he fell asleep, so he should have had no energy to drive. Mu Wan looked up at him. Most of the popcorn in her arms had been eaten by herself because Liu Qianxiu didn’t like this kind of secondary processing thing, so he didn’t touch any of them.

“You haven’t eaten yet.” Mu Wan confirmed him. She looked at the shopping mall and saw that the movie theatre floor was almost entirely made up of restaurants. “Do you want to have something to eat here? You don’t have to make dinner when you return home today. I think you are so tired, too.”

The movie theatre lights were jumping in Mu Wan’s eyes. Liu Qianxiu looked down at the popcorn bucket in her hand and asked, “Are you hungry?”

Mu Wan, who held the popcorn bucket with her fingers curled slightly. She looked at Liu Qianxiu with her stomach full of popcorn and said honestly, “I’m not hungry anymore.”

“I prefer to go home.” Liu Qianxiu faintly refused.

When people are too tired, they don’t have any appetite and only want to rest. She does this every time she stays up late to shoot. Thinking of this, Mu Wan nodded and said, “Then I will take you home.”

This time, Liu Qianxiu did not refuse. Mu Wan followed him, and the two left the shopping mall together. After taking a taxi outside the mall, Mu Wan told the driver the destination. When she looked back, Liu Qianxiu had already closed his eyes again.

After arriving at Liu Qianxiu’s home, he went directly back to his bedroom while Mu Wan fed the three little ones with milk and added food for Zhou Yi. After cleaning up, Mu Wan did not stay overnight. She went out and returned home.

Yesterday’s filming schedule was cancelled, or Mu Wan would have to shoot all night. Her next scene was to be shot early in the morning, so she had to get up early and go to the filming location.

The day before yesterday’s heavy rain had drenched the hot air, but the hot air had returned within a day. Even in the early morning hours, it was still hot and stuffy.

Mu Wan’s drama is now an ancient one. She has been in a supporting role for many years, and her role is almost fixed. Because of her graceful figure and neat movements, she generally played the role of beating the female lead in ancient dramas. When the drama is complicated, she will act as the female lead’s doglegs, and if the drama isn’t complex, she will play the female assassin who assassinates the heroine. In modern drama, she will play a white lotus, who usually acts with the male lead and is the kind of character she was in yesterday’s movie.

On the other hand, in the summer, Mu Wan likes to act in modern drama. In ancient drama, women needed to dress neatly and wear all-black clothes made of acrylic fibre. Their wrists, ankles, and necks were covered, so their clothes were airtight and sweaty. Hair was also more comfortable in ancient drama, and it could have a high ponytail.

It stands to reason that the filming of Mu Wan today started in the early morning hours, but she changed her clothes and put on makeup when she arrived at the crew, and it was ten o’clock in the morning. The sun is getting hotter and hotter, and Mu Wan, dressed in black, feels about to be burned even in the shade.

She raised her eyes and looked at the crew. There were three shooting locations, and the shooting was in full swing. Gao Mei went out to shoot a scene, and no one was there to talk with her, so Mu Wan opened another round of Plants vs. Zombies.

She waits another hour, and it’s almost noon. Mu Wan puts away her mobile phone and doesn’t wait any longer. Although she is a supporting role, it is common for her to wait to take the scene. But this situation now is still relatively rare. She will continue staying here if the drama or movie scene is still being filmed. But she would find Liu Qianxiu for lunch if it wasn’t shot.

Most of Mu Wan’s scenes were shot by the assistant director, and the chief director was the lead director when she occasionally played against the protagonist. She crossed the crowd and stood under the sun, watching the shooting of the last scene finish. When the shooting was over, Mu Wan called the assistant director.

The assistant director of this drama is a fat man who can’t stand the heat in summer. He rolls up the sleeves of his T-shirt to the shoulders and turns it into a vest, and now he is drenched with sweat.

Seeing Mu Wan come to ask, his heavy eyebrows wrinkled, and the flesh on his face was horizontal. He glanced at the little assistant behind him and asked: “What’s going on? Her part was deleted without notice?”

She understands most of it with one sip of the corners of Mu Wan’s lips.

The little assistant glanced at the assistant director with a timid expression. Then he looked at Mu Wan and explained, “At that time, I went to find her, but I couldn’t. There were too many actors.”

She had been sitting there for a long time, wearing black clothes, saying that she could not find it and that it was just a prevarication. Mu Wan smiled at the assistant and asked, “Is there no scene for me this morning?”

The assistant quickly said down the steps: “No, it’s deleted.”

In that case, Mu Wan had nothing to say. She greeted the assistant director: “Then the director, I will go first.”

The assistant director looked her up and down and waved his hand. Mu Wan turned around and walked out of the crew.

She had been shooting for several years, and her life in the production was peaceful and uneventful. It is not that she has never waited for filming, nor has the assistant director forgotten her. But today, Mu Wan always feels that it is different from usual.

She thought of Mu Qing again.

Mu Wan twisted her eyebrows slightly and got up to change her costume.

Since her part has been deleted, she has no scenes to shoot today. After changing the costume, Mu Wan’s body was sweaty, and her fair skin flushed with sullenness. After rubbing it twice, she went to the bathroom to wash her face and walked out of the photography base.

When she arrived at the shooting site of a modern drama, Mu Wan stopped. She looked up at the woman drinking ice water under the umbrella, pressed her lower lip slightly, and walked in.

Mi Yu saw Mu Wan first. She was wearing sunglasses and a sun hat. She did not believe she could block the ultraviolet rays under the scorching sun like this, even under the umbrella. The actress’s face is a symbol. It’s not good when she gets old and dark, so she carefully uses sun protection. It is so rare that people can walk under the sun wearing tank tops and shorts like Mu Wan.

But she looks good-looking like this, slim and tall. Her exposed skin is white, tender, delicate, slender, and eye-catching. She had just washed her face, and her eyes seemed to have been washed too, dark and shiny. Seeing Mi Yu looking over, Mu Wan smiled at her, her lips like honey.

“Sister Yu, my lord.” Mu Wan greeted Mi Yu, then looked at Li Nan, who wrote the script beside Mi Yu.

~ IT’S THE MOON AGAIN ~ 

Su You She couldn’t help being stunned. She had always thought that she was a burden that belonged to her parents. Thus, she had only wished that she could leave this place as soon as possible, saving them the worries that they had every single day. But now, after hearing Mu Yunyao’s words, she felt her eyes become sore, and tears welled up in her eyes, wanting to flow out. “Hope? Even if you get sick like me, it’s a long way to go to be able to go through a day counts. Are they looking forward to it, too?”

“Of course!” Mu Yunyao said with a firm tone, “How can parents not look forward to their children?” Otherwise, her mother wouldn’t have died for her in her previous life…

Su You’s fingers gradually tightened as tears dripped onto the scripture she was holding. She had always felt that she did not have much time left. She feared that her parents would send her away with the black-haired man. It’s better to be alienated and sharp. In this way, when she really leaves, her parents wouldn’t feel too much heartache.

Mu Yunyao had a faint smile on her face as she stretched out her hand to take out the scripture she had copied. “Look at you, I originally already had enough to copy, but you’ve come here to make trouble.”

Su You’s eyes widened as she looked at Mu Yunyao indignantly, “I’m already so sad, won’t you going to comfort me?”

Mu Yunyao slightly raised her brows. “The fruits that you promised me to help you eat haven’t been sent over, yet you’re still coming here to let me comfort you. How can you be this reasonable?”

After being interrupted like this, her previous sadness cut off now, and the tears stopped at this moment. She said, “Can’t you say something nicer? Your temper is even more perverse than mine.”

“If you want to hear something nice, then quickly go back and find Second Aunt. She will always coax you. A few days ago, she came here to play and even told my mother about the interesting things about you when you were young.”

Su You’s eyes widened even wider. It was unknown if it was anticipation or shyness, but her cheeks blushed slightly. “What did my mother say?”

“She said that you had the calmest personality and had excellent patience when you were young. It was unknown where you picked up a strand of hair, yet you wanted to use it to tie the pearl in the box. In the end, you actually tied the pearl. When she asked what you were doing, you said you wanted to tie a chain to your mother. When you see a pearl fall, you will squat down on the ground and slowly tie it back up. It is so fun.”

“How can a pearl be tied with hair? I’m not that stupid. You must be lying to me!”

“If you don’t believe me, then go and ask Second Aunt. Why should I fool you?” Mu Yunyao replied with a smile.

Su You hurriedly stood up and wanted to walk out, but after taking two steps, she walked back and snatched the Buddhist scripture from Mu Yunyao’s hands, “Since I broke it, then I’ll give you another one tomorrow. I... I’ll be leaving first.”

Seeing Su You leaving in such a hurry, Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but laugh. She sat behind the table and continued copying the Buddhist scriptures.

Not long after, Su Qing walked in with a tremella and lotus seed soup in her hand. “I heard Su You was coming. Why didn’t you let her play for a while?”

“The child’s character is unstable. After staying here for a while, she said that she missed Second Aunt, so she immediately turned around and left directly.”

“You must have said something, right?” Su Qing couldn’t help but smile, “Your temper may seem easy to get close to, but the things that can really put in your you feel it aren’t much, and once you put it in your heart, you will definitely be able to plan things out for the other party. I think that your treatment of Su You is very well.”

Mu Yunyao stood up and leaned on Su Qing’s side. Her tone carried a trace of emotion, “Let Mother find out. I don’t know what happened. Every time I see Su You, I feel like I can’t bear it. Besides, her personality is also simple, and she doesn’t have any bad intentions towards me. If it weren’t for this, no matter how pitiful she was, I wouldn’t take another look.”

Su Qing caressed Mu Yunyao’s hair, “Mother thinks that’s good, you don’t only have a mother, there should also be many people by your side. Now that you’ve accepted your adoptive father and mother. You also very kind generous to Jin Lan, Jin Qiao, and the others, but this is far from enough. You must have friends and partners who can support each other. In the future, there should be a husband who will take care of you and accompany you until white hair … … In short, Mother wishes for you to become better and better, better than anyone else in the world.”

When she heard Su Qing say the word husband’, Mu Yunyao’s mind suddenly recalled the image of Yue Wang that appeared under the Cinnabar Osmanthusand last night, and then she froze in place. Why did she think of him?

After Su Qing finished speaking, she didn’t wait for Mu Yunyao’s reply. She couldn’t help but turn her head and see her blushing face. “Yao’er, what did you think of?”

“I …” Mu Yunyao suddenly came back to her senses and hurriedly shook her head. “I didn’t think of anything. I just thought that what Mother said was reasonable.”

“You’re really not thinking about anything at all?”

“Truly, I would naturally not deceive Mother.” It was definitely because Yue Wang appeared too suddenly yesterday. Furthermore, the beautiful moonlight that night had disturbed her thoughts. If it were not for that, she would not have let her thoughts run wild.

Looking at her appearance, Su Qing laughed and didn’t continue to ask. “I heard from Jin Lan that you need to copy a lot of Buddhist scriptures. Mother doesn’t know many words and can’t help you with anything, so I can only cook some delicious food. If there’s anything you need, you tell me in time, do you understand?”

“Mm. Mother, don’t worry. I’ll remember it.”

On the other side, Su You hurriedly returned to the West Courtyard. As soon as she entered, she saw Second Madam welcoming her, “Daughter, why did you leave in such a hurry? Your forehead is already sweating, and your face is so pale. Do you need Mother to call the doctor to take a look for you?”

Su You shook he read, bit her lower lip, and looked extremely uncomfortable, “Mother... Did I tie pearls with my hair when I was a child?”

The Second Madam was stunned and could not help but smile. “Who did you hear this from?”

“It was Mu Yunyao who told me. She said that last time you talked with Aunt about my childhood. She said that I was extremely patient when I was young and would use my hair to tie the pearl.”

The Second Madam’s smile deepened. “Yes, you did. When I came in, I saw you holding a string of pearls in your hand, and I didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry. You brought that string of pearls to my mother’s side, saying that you wanted her to wear it. I was so happy that I didn’t know what to say at that time...”

Su You’s expression turned even more awkward. “Mother, do you think I’m troublesome?”

The Second Madam was thinking about the past and laughing. However, when she heard those words, she quickly returned to her senses and shook her head. “I love you so much. Why would I think that you’re troublesome?” It wasn’t easy for her to give birth to this child, so it wasn’t enough to treat her as an eye ache. Even if she was worried and suffering every day, she was still happy.

Su You’s eyes reddened, thinking back to the words Mu Yunyao had said before. Suppressing the uneasiness in her heart, she stepped forward and held Second Madam’s arm, “Mu Yunyao’s Mother can make things for her. I also want to eat something made by Mother.”

The Second Madam was stunned. Her heart suddenly turned sour, and her eyes immediately turned red. “Fine. What do you want to eat? Mother will make it for you!”

In the past few years, Su You’s illness became more serious, and her personality became more and more rebellious and stubborn. Even when facing her mother, she would always get angry, as if her entire body was covered in thorns. No matter who is close to her, it will make others bleed. She has not seen such a soft appearance for many years.

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 314

~ THERE ARE TOO MANY BUDDHIST SCRIPTURES TO COPY ~ 

It didn’t take long before the Eldest Madam sent someone to send over a thick stack of 20 scrolls of the Buddhist scriptures she has to copy.

Jin Lan and Jin Qiao then carried the scriptures back to the hall. “Miss, isn’t the Eldest Madam bullying others? Each scroll of Buddhist scriptures is so thick, how could Miss able to finish copying it?”

Today was August 16th. There were still eight days until Old Master Su’s death date. Copied these Buddhist scriptures could last longer than half a month, not to mention sending them to Baohua Temple two days earlier. Wasn’t this blatantly forcing people?

Mu Yunyao walked over to the table and lightly brushed the Buddhist scripture surface with her finger. Her white fingertips instantly stained with a speck of dust, “Eldest Aunt really put in a lot of effort by helping me prepare ink and brush. By the way, she should prepare more candlelight. With so many Buddhist scriptures, I’m afraid we’ll have to work hard for a few days.”

“Miss, are you sure you want to copy it?” Jin Qiao was so surprised. If she finished copying it in a few days, wouldn’t her hands be exhausted?

“What should be copied naturally needs to be copied.” Mu Yunyao had a light smile on her face as if she didn’t care about these things at all.

Jin Qiao felt considerably unfair. “The Eldest Madam has made it clear that she is s trying to make things difficult for you, Miss. In just a few days, you have to copy twenty scrolls of the Buddhist scripture. If you can’t finish copying it, the Eldest Madam will say that you have no filial piety.”

Mu Yunyao raised her eyes and looked over. “It seems like we’re really training people here. It’s only been a short period of time, but jin Qiao has grown quite a bit.”

Jin Qiao blushed slightly. “Miss actually dared to tease me. Although it hasn’t been long, this servant has understood quite a lot of things.”

Mu Yunyao’s interest piqued, “Then tell me, what did you understand?”

Jin Qiao looked around and found that there were no other outsiders. She then said, “Although this servant’s words are a bit displeasing to the ears, they are all what this servant’s thoughts in her heart. If I’m wrong, please forgive me.”

“If I told you to say it, then you can say it boldly.”

“This servant feels that the Su family is always treating Miss with unkind and no good intentions.” Jin Qiao was indignant. “It was clearly the Su family brought Madam and Miss over first, but after they did, not only did they not care, they even thought of ways to make things difficult for us. Just now, if it wasn’t for the fact that Miss intimidated Wang Mama’s son when she went out, who knows how that Wang Mama’s son will blame Miss for this matter, and people outside will think wildly. You just came to the Capital, and you’re not familiar with anything, yet the Eldest Madam pushed you out. It’s obviously a matter of bad conscience.”

Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but chuckle softly. “You’re quite smart.”

“This servant merely doesn’t understand. Aren’t we all family? Even if the Su family didn’t like Miss, they shouldn’t have made things difficult like this. Could it be that Madam just picked it up?”

Jin Qiao’s unintentional words made Mu Yunyao stunned.

Jin Lan couldn’t help but ask, “Miss, what’s the matter with you?”

Mu Yunyao returned to her senses, “It’s nothing. I merely feel that there’s a bit of truth in Jin Qiao’s words. Do you see any similarities between my mother and the Su family?”

Jin Lan and Jin Qiao carefully thought back and shook their heads. “If Miss didn’t say, this servants didn’t notice. If you think carefully, there are really not many similarities. Miss, could it be that you suspect the Su family has found the wrong person?”

Mu Yunyao shook her head slightly, “Let’s talk about this matter slowly. The Su family shouldn’t be able to find the wrong people……”

She subconsciously felt that something was amiss, but she couldn’t figure out what exactly was amiss. She raised her head and saw the Buddhist scripture on the side, then reached out to grab a scroll and placed it on the table. It didn’t matter if there was a conspiracy or a scheme behind it, but the Su family would never succeed this time.

The twenty scrolls that the Eldest Madam sent over were exceptionally long, and it was hard for her to find anything within a short time. Mu Yunyao carefully wrote down page after page and gradually calming her heart down.

Jin Lan helped to grind on one side, and Jin Qiao helped spread the paper. At the start, the two were resentful towards the Eldest Madam’s actions. But when they saw Mu Yunyao’s tranquil expression as she copied the Buddhist scriptures, they couldn’t help but be influenced by her and gradually become indifferent. For a moment, only the sound of pages turning in the room.

Su You walked in with her people and saw Mu Yunyao’s figure sitting upright behind the table. Her slender white fingers were holding the brush. Her breath was steady and quickly copying on the paper. Her lips had a gentle smile, and her eyes were clear and calm. The afterglow of the sunset shone on half of her body through the window grill, making her smile tinged with a golden halo of light, which made her feel some majestic and solemn feeling.

Mu Yunyao heard the sound of footsteps. She finished copying and put down her brush, then raised her head, “Elder Sister Su You, why do you come here?”

Su You immediately turned her head and ordered the servants that followed to wait outside the door. She walked next to Mu Yunyao and looked at the Buddhist scriptures that were copied on her table, “Are you stupid? With so many, if you can’t get all of them done, wouldn’t you be criticized?”

“Don’t worry. Since I’ve started, I’m confident that I’ll be able to finish it. If I can’t finish it, would Elder Sister Su You be willing to help me?”

“My handwriting is different from yours. Otherwise, I would really be able to write a little for you.” Looking at Mu Yunyao with a gentle expression on her face, Su You unconsciously retracted the thorns in her body.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to prick or injure people all the time, but that she had gradually forgotten how to get along with others after spending so much time by herself.

“I’m kidding. It’s just twenty scrolls of Buddhist scriptures. Back then, when Ni Yun Fang was opening, I’m in a hurry to make a lot of clothes and embroidered Ni Yun Beauty Booklet. At that time, it was so busy, but in the end, we are all survived.”

“Is it fun to open a shop? I know that there is an elegant workshop, a teahouse, a restaurant, and a bookstore in this world. But no matter where it is, I don’t have a chance to see it...” Su You took out a Buddhist scripture that Mu Yunyao had written. As she stroked it, she sat down on a nearby chair and read out the contents that she had copied, “Buddha said, there are eight sufferings in life, birth, old age, illness, death, love, and separation. I wish for a long time, can not beg, can not let go... Do you think my parents owed me in my previous life, and that’s why I came to torture them in this life?”

Mu Yunyao waved her hand, indicating for Jin Lan and Jin Qiao to withdraw. She stood up and stretched her wrist, poured a cup of warm water, and placed it on Su You’s hand, “I don’t think so.”

Su You raised her head, her eyes were slightly red, but no tears were falling, only full of thick bitterness feeling, “Isn’t it so?”

“There is a saying in the Buddhist language that when the origin of the cause came, it would gather, and when it came to an end, it would scatter. You can be born as the child of Second Uncle and Second Aunt can’t be said that it’s the fate of several generations. They have been looking forward to your coming, looking forward to your birth, hoping that you would grow up safe and sound, hoping that you would have a carefree life… Even though your health is not good, and they have to worry a lot about you, with you here, their hopes will not be shattered. Therefore, even if it’s for the many expectations in their hearts, you should still cherish whatever is in front of you.”

~ MU YUNYAO WHO KNEW HOW TO READ ONE’S EYES ~ 

 

When the Eldest Madam heard her say these words, her expression became especially gloomy. Mu Yunyao stated that she was righteous and strict, but she picked herself clean. She had a clear conscience, and the consequences are not the Su family’s responsibility?

“The sky is unpredictable. People have misfortunes and blessings. Anything can happen, but we can’t say for sure,” the Eldest Madam said as she looked at Wang Mama’s son.

Wang Mama’s son looked at the Eldest Madam with a bad-eyed look. He just wanted to lie on the ground and kneel to beg for forgiveness. He had always been a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Right now, he was already at a loss in his heart, but he knew that even if he were to kowtow and beg for mercy, it would be difficult to understand the situation. He might as well grit his teeth, persist until the end to cheat some silver first, and then talk about it later.

“Madam is kind. This little one is the son of Wang Mama. This little one doesn’t dare to go against the Su family, but because I feel that my mother wronged when she died. She’s fine and talking well when something suddenly happened, and so is Aunt Liu, who kicked out of the house with her, also gone. I only feel that it’s too coincidental …”

The Eldest Madam frowned. Since they had already reached this point, what could they do to stop them: “If that’s the case, then call the doctor over to investigate. However, if he is unable to find anything, then all of you must give the Su family an explanation!”

“What do you mean, Madam? We just said it like this because we don’t have silvers to bury them, so we came to the Su family to see if we could get a little something out of the way and let our mother’s funeral done respectfully. If Madam doesn’t want to care about that kind of favor, then forget it. My mother and Aunt Liu are servants of Su’s family. They have served the master of Su’s family conscientiously for more than ten years. We are also grateful to the Su family, so how can we betray our master? We are leaving now, and we will never cause the Su family any more trouble!”

Upon listening to these words, the Eldest Madam’s face suddenly turned pale. She was angry just now. When she heard what Mu Yunyao had said just now, she did not think twice before directly saying those words. She did not expect that Wang Mama’s son would be the one to stop her from saying those words, and he blocked it directly after a lot of mischiefs.

The Eldest Madam wanted to say something, but she saw Mu Yunyao walk in front of her with an uneasy expression on her face, “Eldest Aunt, don’t worry. I know that you must be thinking about the master and servant relationship from the past. After all, you have been very kind to your servants for so many years. Mo Yu, go and get two hundred taels of silver, and each family will give them one hundred taels so that they can properly arrange for the funeral of Wang Mama and Liu Mama. After all, the dead are the most important, so there is no need to continue tormenting them.”

Mo Yu raised her head to look at the Eldest Madam’s face. She hesitated and didn’t know what to do. Si Qin took out two hundred taels of silver from her sleeves and handed them over to Mo Yu. She pushed her down the stairs, “Young Miss has ordered you. Why aren’t you going?”

Wang Mama’s son had bright eyes. A hundred taels of silver was an enormous sum of money to him. Not only was it enough for him to pay off his gambling debts, but it could also allow him to live a carefree life of a few years. He immediately stopped crying and kowtowed to the Su family. “Thank you very much … …”

Mu Yunyao smiled and said, “It’s all because of my Eldest Aunt who is thinking about her past affection. Thus, I won’t argue with you guys. Quickly go back and arrange your mother’s affairs.”

“Yes, yes, thank you, Madam!”

With that, he called for his wife and children, carried the corpses, and walked away quickly.

The Eldest Madam was so angry that she could barely contain the anger in her eyes. She wanted to stop the man, but the man holding the banknotes left without looking back.

Mu Yunyao seemed to heave a sigh of relief. “Eldest Aunt, the matter has been resolved. Let’s hurry back to the residence. Today is a good day, and we shouldn’t disturb the celebration in residence for the sake of these people.”

The Eldest Madam snapped her hand open. If it weren’t for the fact that there were so many commoners watching from a distance, she would have slapped Mu Yunyao’s face with her palm. After returning to the front courtyard, she could no longer suppress the anger in her heart, “Yunyao, why did you do this?”

“Aunt, why are you so angry? I followed your instructions to deal with the people who come to make trouble at the house entrance. Could it be that I’ve done something wrong?”

Looking at Mu Yunyao’s innocent expression, the Eldest Madam sneered, “Don’t think that I didn’t see through your naughty thoughts. You should know that you just directly sent him away with silver. Who knows, there might be a big problem in the future.”

“Eldest Aunt’s words are strange. Didn’t you say that you should appease him as soon as you arrived? Didn’t these words mean that you want to turn a big matter into a small matter? Two hundred silver taels are nothing to me. If Aunt doesn’t want to go into the public accounts, then it’s all on my account.”

“You …” The Eldest Madam didn’t know whether Mu Yunyao was really dull or just pretending to be stupid, but no matter what, there were still more important things to be done. She had to think of a way quickly to restore Yuyi’s reputation. As for the people who make trouble in residence today, they can have them clean up at any time. “In two days, it will be your grandfather’s death day. At this time of the year, the young ladies in residence had to copy the Buddhist scriptures and pray for blessings. Then, they will send it to the Baohua Temple for enshrinement. Since you are here in the Su family’s residence now, shouldn’t you make a few copies of the Buddhist scriptures to express your filial piety towards your grandfather?”

Mu Yunyao smiled as she nodded and replied, “Yes. Although I’ve never seen Grandfather, since the elder sisters and brothers in residence have copied them, I naturally have to copy them as well.”

“That’s good. I’ll get someone to send you the Buddhist scripture that should be copied later.”

“Then I’ll have to trouble Eldest Aunt.” Mu Yunyao curtsied and bowed.

The Eldest Madam’s cold gaze swept across Mu Yunyao’s face, then she turned and strode away.

Mu Yunyao straightened her body and slowly walked back to Jiyue Pavilion. She turned around to look at Mo Yu. “Mo Yu, do you feel that following me wronged you?”

Mo Yu’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly kneeled down. “Mo Yu wouldn’t dare.”

Mu Yunyao chuckled, “You say you don’t dare, instead of nothing. Then you really feel wronged?”

The voice that entered her ears was very gentle, even carrying a faint smile. However, when Mo Yu heard the voice, she shuddered for no reason. “Miss, this servant doesn’t feel wronged. Please look into it clearly.”

“That’s all right. After all, you’ve been waiting at the Old Madam’s side. If you follow this lowly Young Miss Biao, you might not be willing to give up, but there are tens of thousands of paths in this world, and if you do not reach the end, no one will know which path will lead to the cliff. Mo Yu, what do you think?”

“Miss, this servant is stupid and only knows how to serve the master. I don’t dare to think about anything else.”

Mu Yunyao smiled, “As long as the master you are talking about is me, I would rather you be stupid. Alright, you can leave now.”

Mo Yu could only feel cold sweat dripping down her body. She raised her head and met Mu Yunyao’s eyes. She felt as if those eyes could pierce through people’s hearts, causing her to feel a chill run down her spine. “Yes …”

~ MU YUNYAO WITH A CLEAR CONSCIENCE ~ 

Liu Mama’s son on one side was so scared that he couldn’t speak. He had come this time because of Wang Mama’s son’s instigation and because of his wife’s encouragement. Now that he heard Wang Mama’s son’s words, he suddenly realized that things were not that simple.

Mu Yunyao creased her brows, her tone filled with an unprecedented seriousness, “What do you mean by this?”

Wang Mama’s son fiercely took two steps forward and kowtowed, his forehead heavily touching the steps of the Su family. After a short two moves, he was already bleeding, and blood flowed from his forehead down his eyes and face, causing people to be shocked. He ate, drank, and gambled for a long time, so he naturally knew what to do to his advantage.

“Miss mu, I didn’t mean anything. I just came to ask about it. If it really had nothing to do with the Su family, I would let the Su family deal with it. But my mother’s reputation for honesty is well known. A good person died without knowing it. As a son, I don’t know why she passed away, but I am really ashamed of it. I might as well die here, and it could eliminate the guilt in my heart.”

Mu Yunyao’s brows tightly creased, “Based on what you said, do you think that your mother died in injustice?”

He pulled back the bow. There was no turning back, and he could only use all his strength to fight now!

Wang Mama’s son clenched his teeth: “I don’t dare to say that. I only hope that the Su family will give me a bit of silver for my mother’s many years of being a slave in the Su family and let me and the Liu brothers bury the two old people.” Many people were watching the entrance to the street. He purposefully raised his voice to show so that they could hear what he said clearly.

Mu Yunyao looked at the two sides of the street and saw that there were already many people secretly discussing among themselves. Currently, the Su family was at the height of its popularity. Besides, the two servants who were kicked out of the house died suddenly and inexplicably at the same time. Wang Mama’s son was so ambiguous with his words, how could they not guess?

Zhou Mama, who had been observing the situation from the side, suddenly felt that something was wrong. She hurriedly ran to the East District to report to the Eldest Madam.

The Eldest Madam was quickly arranging her troops, hoping to contain the rumors in the Capital. Before she could find a suitable candidate to replace the Moon Fairy from the Moon Palace, she saw Zhou Mama running over in a flustered manner.

“Eldest Madam, there’s a disturbance in the residence’s gate. Hurry up and go take a look.”

“Didn’t you ask Yunyao to go? The ones who died were two old maids. It’s fine if you give them some silver coins to appease them. What’s the point of making a fuss about it?”

Zhou Mama quickly shook her head. “Madam, things aren’t so simple. Young Miss Biao … Young Miss Biao was a straightforward person. It was hard to avoid the sharp edge in her words when she faced someone coming to make trouble. As a result, the son of the old Wang Mama had said many things that were very unpleasant to hear. This servant taking a look from afar, that person’s aura seems to be full of cunning. If things go on like this, I’m afraid it will implicate the Su family …”

The Eldest Madam suddenly frowned. “What? What did you say?”

“That Wang Mama’s son said that after Old Wang Mama and Old Liu Mama were driven out of the residence, they both died suddenly and at the same time. The cause of death was unclear …”

“He’s got a nerve! What kind of place was this to allow him to spout such nonsense? Wasn’t he afraid of his tongue being cut off? How did Mu Yunyao reply to him?”

“When this servant heard this, I hurriedly came back to report to you. I didn’t have the time to listen to Young Miss Biao’s reply.”

“Trash!” The Eldest Madam was so angry that her chest ached. The Eldest Madam wanted to help Yuyi become famous with her arrangements. She thought it would come naturally, but she failed. Now two servants had died, and they dared to splash dirty water on the Su family’s door. It’s so bold for them. “Go and have a look.”

She had initially wanted to push Mu Yunyao out to deal with this matter. After all, she was the one who had hit them, so since the two women’s families had come to cause trouble, they would definitely recognize Mu Yunyaoas a source of hatred. It would be best if they could use this opportunity to ruin her reputation so that she wouldn’t be an eyesore. But she didn’t expect that the fire would actually burn the Su family.

At the entrance to the residence, Mu Yunyao’s expression was silent as she stood, “The Su family does not disregard relationship. Old Wang Mama and Old Liu Mama have indeed been servants in the Su family. Now that the two of them have passed away, I will give you some silver coins so that you can take care of the funeral. It’s not impossible the money can be given, but I don’t think the Su family will take responsibility for the scandal. It is better to find someone to investigate the cause of death of the two women first.”

Initially, Wang Mama’s son was so happy when he heard that Mu Yunyao would give him money. However, when he heard that she wanted someone to investigate the cause of his mother’s and Aunt Liu’s death, he immediately became a bit anxious, “Since people already dead, I don’t want to pursue the matter any further. I only hope that my mother can be buried safely as soon as possible. I also asked Young Miss Mu not to disturb the peace of the dead.”

Mu Yunyao laughed coldly, “You’re a son of a bitch. It’s funny. If you want your mother to settle down quickly, you can merely find a plot of land and bury her. Why bring her corpse to the Su family’s doorstep? When I said that I would give you money, and you talked about getting into the soil for peace. Are you come here just wanted y to make trouble for silver? If it’s really like this, not only will I not give you a penny, I will also have someone send you to the government. You don’t even look what kind of place the Su Family is. How can you all act so presumptuously here!”

“No, we didn’t want to cause any trouble, and we were willing to let someone investigate the cause of death of my mother and Aunt Liu.” Wang’s son quickly replied. He had asked before, and the time of his mother and Aunt Liu’s death was almost the same. This incident is full of weirdness, and it is absolutely impossible to be a coincidence.

“Alright, then go and invite a doctor.”

“Wait!” The Eldest Madam had just walked to the residence’s entrance when she heard Mu Yunyao instructing someone to call a doctor over. She hurriedly shouted, “Yunyao, what has caused such a ruckus?” Hearing the Eldest Madam’s voice, Mu Yunyao turned to pay her respects, a hint of pity flashing through her heart. If the Eldest Madam had come a little later, perhaps she would have been able to give the Su Family a reputation of killing people. Although she did not expect that it would have been an extensive blow to the Su Family, at least it would have added more weight. She will feel happy at least by adding more blocks. “Greetings, Eldest Aunt.”

The Eldest Madam’s expression was particularly stiff. Her precious daughter’s reputation had been damaged, which made her even unable to maintain the smile on her face, “Yunyao, didn’t I tell you to come out to have a look? Do you appease the ones that should be soothed? Why are you calling a doctor again?”

Mu Yunyao’s expression did not change: “Eldest Aunt, Old Wang Mama’s son is still unclear, and the hidden meaning behind his words is that there is a difference in the cause of death between Old Wang Mama and Old Liu Mama. Now that they are in front of the Su family. If we do not investigate this matter clearly, wouldn’t this dirty water be poured onto our Su family? Back then, I was the one who ordered to beat up two old maids. Furthermore, looking at how old they were and the fact that they were both seniors in residence, I only ordered my maids to punish them ten planks. Those ten planks are still done by my two maids, and their strength is very slight. Furthermore, I was afraid that they would not be able to take it.”

~ THE SU FAMILY IS INNOCENT ~ 

Mu Yunyao had just finished eating with Su Qing when she saw Qi Mama, who delivered the message. After hearing it, she couldn’t help but slightly raise the corners of her lips, “Does Eldest Aunt mean to tell me to deal with the people causing trouble in front of the house?”

Qi Mama nodded her head. “Yes. After all, the one who ordered the beating of Old Liu Mama and Old Wang Mama was Young Miss Biao. Although we can’t be sure about the reason, a master should come forward to inquire about it. In order to avoid causing more trouble and tarnish the Su family’s reputation.”

Mu Yunyao lowered her eyes and smiled, then happily nodded. “Since that’s the case, then I’ll go take a look.”

“Yes, then this servant went to reply to the Eldest Madam first.”

“Thank you for specially making a trip, Qi Mama.”

“... This servant does not dare to accept it.”

When Qi Mama left, Su Qing couldn’t help but frown. “Yao’er, back then, you only beat them with ten planks, and the ones that did it were Si Qin and Si Qi. Their strength was very light, and so many people in the Su family have seen it. Do they still want to rely on you?”

“Mother, there is no need to worry. Since something has happened, I’ll go and have a look.”

“Mm, be careful. Although we didn’t hurt anyone, we can’t guard against anyone who wants to harm us.” After entering the Su family for just a short time, Su Qing felt that her heart had become much colder. However, there was nothing she could do. She would rather be cold-hearted to guard against others than let her daughter fall into danger because of her own weakness.

Mu Yunyao nodded, then looked towards Si Qin and Si Qi, “The two of you were the ones who made a move at that time. Come with me and have a look. Also, call Mo Yu over as well.”

“Yes, Miss.” Si Qin and Si Qi didn’t panic in the slightest. After being called out, they directly followed behind Mu Yunyao and walked towards the residence’s entrance.

Before they even reached the manor gates, they heard bursts of weeping. The guards at both sides of the gates acted like they didn’t see the person crying on the ground.

Mu Yunyao slowly walked out of the door. She coldly looked at the two couples and several children kneeling on the ground. “Who gave you the courage to come and frame the Su Family?”

The crying and howling at the door suddenly stopped. “We did not frame the Su family. It’s just that my mother died without reason. My family was poor and did not have any money to bury her, so ….”

Mu Yunyao didn’t wait for him to finish and directly interrupted him. “Since you’re not here to frame me, then are you here to scam me?”

“We didn’t mean it that way. No matter what, my mother has been a servant of the Su family for so many years. In the end, we still have our relationship …”

“Your mother has been a servant in the Su family for so many years. As her son, not only did you not take her out for filial piety, now that something happened, you did not let her rest in peace. Instead, you brought her corpse to the front door of the Su family. Are you not afraid of your mother’s uneasiness and come out to settle accounts with you in the middle of the night?”

The one who replied was Wang Mama’s son, Wang Zhu. When he heard Mu Yunyao’s words, he immediately shivered, feeling a chill down his spine, but had to muster up the courage to reply, “From the looks of your clothes, you are probably Young Miss of the Su family.”

“I am the Su family’s Young Miss Biao, Mu Yunyao. Back then, I was the one who ordered Wang Mama and Liu Mama to be reprimanded and then chased out of the residence. I didn’t receive the attentiveness of these two people. On the contrary, I had beaten twice by them a few days ago. I don’t have any relationship with them. You can tell me what your purpose is. You don’t have to pretend to be pitiful and win sympathy here.”

“You … You …” Wang Mama’s son couldn’t help, but his face turned blue. He was initially a drifter, and all these years, he had relied on his mother. Wang Mama, who worked in the Su family’s house, has supported him to get married and have children all the time.

A few days ago, Wang Mama was suddenly driven home, and the family lost the source of money. Wang Zhu had been very uncomfortable these past few days. He ran out of money to drink, so he wanted to go to the gambling house to try his luck, but instead, he owed a large number of gambling debts. Initially, Wang Zhu wanted to go home and make a ruckus to see if his mother had any private money. He didn’t expect that Wang Mama suddenly fainted and passed away soon after he went back. Wang Zhu was merely thinking about how he should handle the funeral when he heard that Aunt Liu, who had been kicked out with his mother, had also suddenly died, and he could not help thinking a little more.

After his mother came back, she secretly muttered to herself that the Su family’s Miss Biao was heartless, that the Su family’s Old Madam did not care about an old relationship. She had done things for the Old Madam, and not only did she not receive any compensation, but she was also even beaten and chased out of the Su family residence.

After hearing so much about it, and he always felt that this matter was unusual. In addition to the fact that Aunt Liu had passed away as well, it made him think a little more: Could it be that his mother had done something for the Old Madam of the Su family? In the end, it didn’t work out. Instead, she was kicked out of the house. Because of that, the Old Madam of the Su family wanted to kill her and silence her?

When he thought of it, he had a few more thoughts: If the Su family really did kill people, would it be possible for them to come and extort a large sum of money? He knew that it would be too dangerous if he acted rashly. Who knew, perhaps the Su family would also try to kill him. Thus, he dragged Aunt Liu’s son along with him. He even cried and howled along the way to blow up the matter. Thinking about it, the Su family would definitely be afraid of him and wouldn’t dare to do anything to him.

But now, when he noticed Mu Yunyao’s righteous and confident appearance, his heart started pounding once again.

“Miss Mu, your status is honorable. But you don’t put human lives in your eyes. My mother and Aunt Liu’s deaths would have been in vain if we didn’t come today!” Wang Mama’s son indignantly said, looking very aggrieved.

This street was the place where the officials resided. Ordinary citizens would usually take a detour, but because of such a big commotion today, there were already many commoners watching from the far corner of the street. After all, the rumor had just spread that the young miss of the Su family was the Moon Fairy of the Moon Palace, and quite several people wanted to come here to try their luck and see if they can see the fairy’s face.

“Stop right there!” Mu Yunyao stopped the person to talked, “Since you dare to bring someone here, it means that you have doubts in your heart. Our Su family is innocent and won’t allow anyone to throw dirty water in front of our doors. Back then, the two maids standing behind me were the ones who beat the two Mama. They used the court stick that was usually prepared in the house of officials and beat them ten times. Furthermore, this event happened ten days ago. All of you can verify the things I have said, and there was not a word of partiality about it.”

Wang Mama’s son was more and more flustered. He had already been a guilty conscience from the start, but now that he saw Mu Yunyao’s confident words, he felt even more uncertain. The two seemingly delicate maids, not to mention the ten court sticks, even twenty or fifty court sticks, wouldn’t have caused any deaths. Could it be that he had guessed wrongly? But if he left just like that, he would feel unreconciled in his heart. He would already be in debt, and in a short while, the debt collectors would come knocking on his door. Even if the Su family did not kill him, those debt collectors would definitely take his life.

“Miss Mu, I didn’t want to say it in the first place. After all, my mother and Aunt Liu had served in the Su family for a long time, and they have a favor to owe. But since your words are like this, I must say some things.”

A ray of light flashed across Mu Yunyao’s eyes. “Tell me.”

“You’re right. The court sticks really can’t kill a person. But right now, my mother and Aunt Liu are both dead, and it’s still unclear how they died. If we were to say they died suddenly, could they make an arrangement to die together?”
