Incurable Chapter 28 Part 1

Chapter 28 (1/2)

Mu Wan fell asleep.

It was as if her ears had been submerged in water. By the time Liu Qianxiu’s final sentence reached her, it had turned into only a few blurred words. She did not hear it clearly. Her consciousness kept sinking, and she drifted off.

When she woke, it was already morning.

Mu Wan came out of the bedroom to find the apartment empty. There was not even a single meow. Liu Qianxiu’s bedroom door was shut. She looked up at the time. It was already eight in the morning. He had probably gone to work.

The cats had been sent to Xu Xingkong’s place yesterday, so once again, she was the only one left in the apartment.

She walked into the kitchen and saw breakfast laid out on the table, along with a glass of orange juice.

Everything was just like the first time she had spent the night at Liu Qianxiu’s place. He had prepared breakfast for her, then gone to work, leaving her alone in the house.

And yet, something felt different.

Mu Wan’s mind was still a little hazy, as if her memory had been covered with a thin sheet of paper. She could make out only the outline of it, not the details.

Sitting on the high stool at the dining counter, she listened to the patter of rain outside and tried to remember the last thing Liu Qianxiu had said before she fell asleep the night before.

She took a bite of her sandwich and set her phone on the cool marble tabletop beside her.

He had worked so late yesterday, and this morning he had gone straight back to work. He was probably busy now. Instead of calling, Mu Wan sent him a text.

Mu Wan: Liu Qianxiu.

Unexpectedly, he replied almost at once.

Taoist Liu: Mm.

A smile curved at her lips against the rim of the glass.

Resting one arm on the marble counter, feeling its cool smoothness seep into her fingertips, she listened to the rain and called him.

He picked up quickly.

There was the sound of papers being turned on the other end. Mu Wan asked, “Are you busy?”

The rustle of papers stopped abruptly.

“Not too bad,” Liu Qianxiu said.

“Oh.”

She paused, then asked, “Are we going to the Taoist temple this afternoon? Do I need to prepare anything? I’m free today, so I can go buy it first.”

Someone knocked on the door. Xiao Tan entered in response. Liu Qianxiu lifted his eyes to look at him, then lowered them again to the papers in front of him.

“Buy a few books you like,” he said. “The signal there is bad. You won’t be able to go online on your phone.”

“I don’t have any books I like,” Mu Wan said after thinking for a while. “I’ll just watch you read.”

Liu Qianxiu pressed his lips together and said nothing.

As expected, silence fell on the other end of the line.

Almost every time she said something like that, Liu Qianxiu responded with silence.

Mu Wan rubbed her fingertip against the marble tabletop, the chill of the stone soaking into the whorls of her fingerprints.

“Last night, you said something to me,” she said. “But then I fell asleep, and I can’t remember what it was. What did you say?”

Liu Qianxiu looked up at Xiao Tan. Xiao Tan pointed at his watch. They had to go to a meeting.

“It wasn’t anything important,” Liu Qianxiu said. “I’ll be back at one this afternoon. Eat something on your own. Once I’m back, we’ll go straight to the temple. I have to go to a meeting now.”

“Mm.” Her voice dipped with obvious disappointment.

His gaze lowered slightly.

Liu Qianxiu ended the call, gathered the materials at hand, stood up, and said to Xiao Tan, “Let’s go.”

“Miss Mu?” Xiao Tan asked as he opened the door.

The two of them headed for the conference room. Nurses and patients they passed greeted them along the way. Liu Qianxiu nodded in acknowledgment one by one, then finally answered Xiao Tan’s question.

“Yes.”

Xiao Tan had heard enough of the call just now to understand. Once he confirmed it was Mu Wan, he was not exactly surprised.

Liu Qianxiu was cool and clear as water. Mu Wan’s warmth and brightness suited him quite well.

Even so, he still found it a little unexpected. Looking at Liu Qianxiu, he smiled and said, “I didn’t expect you’d take her to the Taoist temple.”

“Mm.” Liu Qianxiu answered lightly. “She wanted to go, so I’m taking her.”

After hanging up, Mu Wan did not believe it had been something unimportant.

After hanging up, she thought about it for a while longer. The outline of the memory grew clearer and clearer, but she still could not pierce that thin sheet over it.

Since she could not make sense of it, she gave up for now.

After finishing breakfast and tidying the kitchen, she left Liu Qianxiu’s apartment and went home first to get her luggage.

He had said that once he got back from work, they would head straight to the temple. That probably meant they were pressed for time. So Mu Wan decided to get her suitcase from home and bring it over first so that they could leave directly from his place later.

When she left Liu Qianxiu’s apartment, the rain was still light. By the time she got home, it had already turned into a downpour. In rain like that, even with an umbrella, she would end up half-soaked, especially while dragging luggage.

There was still time, so she was not in a hurry. She stayed home waiting for the rain to ease up and, while she was at it, looked up Qingyuan Temple online.

Xiacheng had Taoist temples and Buddhist temples, and because the city was prosperous, incense offerings were strong there. But she had never heard of Qingyuan Temple before.

She searched for it on the map but found only Qingyuan Mountain.

Xiacheng’s terrain was the northern mountains and the southern sea. Qingyuan Mountain was in the northern district. The entire northern district was mountainous, part of the Sushan range. A river called the Su River cut through the middle of it.

The scenery there was beautiful—layer upon layer of mountains, a river running across them, the landscape especially striking.

Xiacheng had developed rapidly and extensively, but the Sushan area had remained unchanged. Apart from a few resorts, the deeper parts remained undeveloped.

Qingyuan Mountain was located in the innermost part along the Su River, untouched by development. The mountain itself was not high. At its base was a small town. The town should have internet access, but the signal on the mountain itself was probably weak.

Mu Wan had grown up in Xiacheng, yet this was the first time she had realized such a place existed.

Given Liu Qianxiu’s temperament, it made sense. He did not really count as a Taoist priest, at most a man of the secular world engaged in quiet cultivation. He was not chasing immortality. He was only seeking peace of mind.

“Peace of mind…”

Mu Wan murmured the words to herself, catching onto the key phrase. A flash of realization lit her mind. Last night, what Liu Qianxiu had said had seemed to be related to peace of mind—

Just as she was about to piece it together, her phone rang. Her train of thought was cut off. She gave a regretful sigh and picked up the phone.

It was Gao Mei.

Gao Mei had been out of town filming the past two days, not working at the Xiacheng studio lot. She had returned last night, and today they were both supposed to be on the same production again—but when she got to set, Mu Wan was nowhere to be found.

“They cut your scenes?” Gao Mei sounded incredulous. “Your part was pretty important. They just cut it like that?”

“Mm.” Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Mu Wan watched the rain outside begin to ease. “I don’t have any filming this week. As for next week, Li Nan still hasn’t told me anything.”

By then, Gao Mei also sensed that something was off. But her thinking was similar to Li Nan’s. Mu Wan had always kept her head down in the industry. Because she usually played supporting roles, she had never stirred up trouble. No director or lead actor had ever had reason to target her. So why would she suddenly have no scenes all week?

“Do you know what’s going on?” Gao Mei asked. “You must have some idea.”

“Mm,” Mu Wan said.

Hearing that, Gao Mei became anxious. “Then what are you going to do? No scenes this week—and maybe none next week either. If you keep not working, how are you supposed to survive?”

“I’ll deal with it after I get back next week.”

Mu Wan already had a plan, but since it involved family matters rather than something inside the industry, she did not say more.

She was the type who had always found ways to resolve things on her own. Otherwise, with a face like hers, there was no way she could have spent so many years working in the industry without incident.

“ You’re going somewhere this week?” Gao Mei asked.

“Yeah. To a Taoist temple, to cultivate my body and mind.”

Mu Wan said it, then asked, “Do you have any good novels to recommend?”

Gao Mei loved reading novels. In recent years, online novel adaptations have become a huge trend, and Gao Mei has even landed roles in a few adaptations of books she loves. She had been thrilled.

“Of course I do,” Gao Mei said. Then she froze. “Wait. You’re going to a Taoist temple to read romance novels? Are you going there to cultivate yourself or to fall in love?”

That question hit dead center.

Mu Wan laughed.

She really was going there to fall in love.

Though it was a rather one-sided love.

After getting a reading list from Gao Mei, Mu Wan went out and bought a few books, then packed them into her suitcase.

Once that was done, it was already noon. Mu Wan ate something simple outside, then dragged her luggage over to Liu Qianxiu’s apartment to wait for him.

The surgery took longer than expected, so he got home later than planned.

When he returned, Mu Wan was sitting at the low table reading. Of course, she was not reading the Dao De Jing. The book in her hands had a much lighter-colored cover. It was clearly a novel.

The moment Liu Qianxiu stepped inside, Mu Wan looked up. She closed the book, got up from the rug, and asked, “You’re back. Do you want to rest for a while?”

He had just come out of surgery. Mentally and physically, he had to be tired.

But after she asked, he only shook his head.

“No. We’ll leave now.”

Mu Wan had little with her—just a small suitcase and the book in her hand. Liu Qianxiu had even less, only a black backpack.

The two of them carried their things to the car, and Liu Qianxiu drove toward the Sushan range in the northern district.

It was only one in the afternoon, and traffic was smooth. It had rained in the morning, then cleared for a while, but now the sky had clouded over again.

Mu Wan had checked the map. It would probably take about two hours to drive to Qingyuan Town at the foot of the mountain, and then another climb up the mountain to reach the temple. They should arrive around four or five.

The road stretched out wide ahead of them. The car was quiet.

Mu Wan had not put her novel away. After glancing at it, she raised her head and asked, “Is your shixiong easy to get along with?”

The last time she had asked, Liu Qianxiu had said that his shixiong was the only one there at the temple.

His shixiong had probably been cultivating there all along and was surely far more Taoist in temperament than Liu Qianxiu. Mu Wan was following Liu Qianxiu there, not to cultivate at all, and was even bringing romance novels to read. She suspected his shixiong might not think much of her.

“More or less,” Liu Qianxiu said.

They were stopped at a red light. Liu Qianxiu glanced at the book in her hand.

“Even if he isn’t easy to get along with, it’s fine,” Mu Wan said. She looked at Liu Qianxiu and added, “Once we get there, I’ll just stay with you. As long as I’m only dealing with you, I’ll be fine.”

The light turned green. Liu Qianxiu looked back at the road.

“Mm.”

By three in the afternoon, they arrived in Qingyuan Town. Liu Qianxiu drove for another half hour before finally reaching Qingyuan Mountain.

He parked beside a small thatched hut at the foot of the mountain. Then the two of them got out and prepared to hike up.

The sky was still overcast, but the mountain air was far cooler and cleaner than the air in the city.

At the foot of Qingyuan Mountain was a path paved with blue stone slabs. Their surfaces were rough, showing that few people walked there. The path wound all the way upward like steps leading into the heavens.

The climb took them an hour.

At the top stood a Taoist temple.

In front of the temple was a flat patch of ground, packed hard with earth. It had just rained, so the ground was damp, littered with scattered leaves. To the left of the temple stood an old pine tree, its crown broad and dense, its shadow sheltering the stone table and benches beneath it.

Mu Wan’s breathing was uneven from the climb.

She turned and looked out below. The entire Sushan range spread before her eyes, and the Su River wound on and on toward the east.

Distant mountains. Flowing water.

The view cleared the heart.

She had not even stepped inside yet, and already she felt much calmer.

Compared with her, Liu Qianxiu seemed perfectly at ease. His expression had barely changed, and even his breathing remained steady. He had carried her suitcase the whole way up.

Tall and straight, he stood before the temple doors and pushed them open.

Mu Wan came back to herself and followed him inside.

Qingyuan Temple was not large.

The courtyard was paved with uneven flagstones. In the center stood an incense burner. Facing the gate was the main hall. Inside were the statues of the deities, and beside them a low table and prayer cushions.

On both the left and right sides of the main hall were side halls. There were four rooms in total, two of them with doors and windows tightly shut. Those were probably the rooms for resting.

A narrow path ran beside the main hall and led toward the rear.

Ordinary Taoist temples usually had three levels, each dedicated to different Taoist patriarchs. But Qingyuan Temple was small and simple. There was only one main hall, and the three patriarchs were all enshrined together there.

As soon as they stepped through the gate, a little novice ran out of the main hall.

He looked only seven or eight years old, with long hair twisted into a bun and secured with a wooden pin. His small face was clean and delicate. Dressed in a water-blue Taoist robe and black cloth shoes, he looked as if he had been painted directly into the landscape of the temple.

When he saw who had arrived, he hurried toward them. Once he reached Liu Qianxiu’s side, he tipped his head back and called out in a bright, crisp voice,

“Junior Brother Qianxiu.”

~ SU YUYI’S SOUL DISPERSED ~ 

Feeling that the time is almost up, Si Shu and Si Hua lifted the quilt and put their hands on Su Yuyi’s neck, “Miss, Miss Su passed out and...” As the two spoke, they covered Su Yuyi’s legs with the quilt to cover the water stains on her body, which had a strange smell.

If others were to see the current appearance of the Eldest Miss of the Su family, they would probably laugh for three months without eating.

Mu Yunyao nodded, and her gaze landed on the tightly tied-up Qi Mama. She walked over and squatted down, “Elder Sister Yuyi came in a hurry to this place. Eldest Aunt has always pampered her so she won’t come into contact with too many dirty tricks. But you’re different. You follow Eldest Aunt for a long time. It’s all your idea, isn’t it, to lead my mother back to the side room and set it on fire?”

Qi Mama shook her head crazily, trembling with fear. “Ugh …”

“There is also the powder that stuns my mother and Si Qi, which Eldest Aunt told you to bring it, didn’t she? As for what she wanted to do, let me think about it ... Eldest Aunt had people buy over ten hooligans. Those people are born crafty and commit all sorts of crimes … Hm, Eldest Aunt should have told you two plans. First, If my mother and I will always be together, you should find a chance to use the medicinal powder on us and then throw us into the hands of those hooligans. I’m afraid that my mother and I will suffer a fate worse than death. Second, you should separate my mother and me so that you can take care of us one by one ... Just like this fire. An unexpected fire would could cause people to not even have a trace of their bones left. It’s really a vicious mind.”

The expression in Qi Mama’s eyes when she looked at Mu Yunyao grew more and more alarmed.

Mu Yunyao looked at Si Hua and motioned for her to move the cloth away that had been stuffed in Qi Mama’s mouth.

 
Qi Mama subconsciously opened her mouth to scream, but she was slashed at her throat with a hand knife by Si Shu.

The intense pain made Qi Mama immediately bend down, unable to make a single sound.

“Qi Mama, you’ve been by Eldest Aunt’s side for a long time, so you should be a smart person. Do you think I’ll give you the chance to yell out?”

Qi Mama kept bending down to beg for mercy to Mu Yunyao. Her face was covered in cold sweat and tears, making her look especially miserable. If she had known earlier that Mu Yunyao was such a vicious and wicked person, she would have thought twice about it. Terrifying, too terrifying!

“Answer my question honestly, and I’ll spare your life. How about it?”

Qi Mama quickly nodded her head. Mu Yunyao was an evil spirit. She could even harm Eldest Miss so she wouldn’t hold back on the life of a servant. As long as she could survive, she would agree to anything Mu Yunyao asked her to do.

“Was my guess right?”

Qi Mama nodded her head. Although there was some discrepancy, Eldest Madam was like what Mu Yunyao had guessed and wanted to deal with Su Qing and her in this way.

Mu Yunyao sneered, and the aura around her body became even colder, “Other than Eldest Aunt hiring those hooligans, did she also let any of the two inner sect experts to make a move?”

Inner sect expert? Qi Mama was taken aback for a moment and quickly shook her head. Most experts are not willing to be involved in the Imperial Court. If they really were here, why would they take such a huge risk and deal with Mu Yunyao after a few twists and turns?

If it wasn’t the Eldest Madam, then who was the culprit?

Mu Yunyao’s eyebrows twitched. The sky had already begun to light up, so she couldn’t afford to delay any longer. “Si Shu, Si Hua, let’s do it.”

“Yes, Miss.” Si Shu walked forward and knocked out Qi Mama, then pulled her to the bedside, making the appearance that she had crushed Su Yuyi’s arm and quickly left with Mu Yunyao.

When Mu Yunyao returned to the room, Su Qing was still deeply asleep. She sat on the side for a while to guard. After hearing Si Qin’s reminder, she then went to bathe and change her clothes.

After staying up all night, the anger in her heart also radiated. Soaking in the warm water, Mu Yunyao felt waves of drowsiness invade her, causing her to yawn uncontrollably. Her eyes were filled with a watery light as she forced herself to stand up and wear good clothes. She slightly stretched her arms and felt her entire body ache.

Si Qi stepped forward to support her, “Miss, are you alright?”

“Nothing’s wrong, I think...” Mu Yunyao thought back to what her mother had said. She had said that Yue Wang had injured himself in order to save her. Now she wanted to visit him, but she didn’t know where he lived...

“Si Qin, remember carefully what that monk who came to inform you of my accident looks like. Then, draw a portrait and look for the monk in charge of of Baohua Temple to confirm it.” Although she felt that she couldn’t find him, she still had to try her luck.

“Yes, this servant will go down now to draw him.”

“Good, and ... Forget it, I’ll go and look for it myself. “

Si Shu probed from the side, “Miss, do you want to inquire about Fourth Master’s residence?”

Mu Yunyao paused for a moment before nodding, “Do you know where he is?”

“In the easternmost side room of Baohua Temple, those rooms are usually not open to pilgrims. Grand Princess Yi De lives there as well, so Fourth Master lives in the courtyard next door.”

Mu Yunyao slightly bit her lower lip. She unconsciously extended her hand to wipe the hair by her ear. “I understand. When Mother wakes up in a bit, I’ll say a word to her and then go visit Fourth Master.”

Before Su Qing woke up, there was already a ruckus outside.

Mu Yunyao slightly raised her eyes, a faint smile on her lips. After a while, Su Qingwu arrived and knocked on the door.

“Miss?” Si Shu was a bit worried. They didn’t kill Su Yuyi and Qi Mama to silence them, and now the two of them must have told Su Qingwu about what had happened. They might have come to cause trouble.

“Mother is still sleeping, and it’s not good to be disturbed. I’ll go out and see him.”

When Mu Yunyao walked out of the room, she saw Su Qingwu, with a cold complexion, standing at the door. He wore a light blue robe, his posture was straight, and his face was handsome, but the aura around him was so cold, with an indescribable pressure.

“Greetings, Cousin.”

Su Qingwu seriously sized up Mu Yunyao, not letting go of even the slightest emotion from her face. However, other than a faint smile, he couldn’t see anything else. “Yuyi’s hand is broken. She was frightened, and she’s even sick now.”

Mu Yunyao raised her eyes in surprise, “Wasn’t it fine yesterday? How can he break his hand after only one night?”

Su Qingwu frowned tightly, her eyes filled with shock and bewilderment. “She said that it was you who broke her hand, and you threatened to kill her too?”

Mu Yunyao blinked, her expression seeming to have some lingering fear. “I haven’t come out rom the room for the entire night and have concentrated on taking care of my mother. Did Cousin just get so scared that she was confused. Is she just grabbed me so casually?”

“Even Qi Mama said it was you!”

“Then I said it was her. She didn’t take good care of Elder Sister Yuyi and was afraid that Eldest Aunt would scold her when they go back, so she came up with some rotten ideas like this!”

Su Qingwu looked at Mu Yunyao for a long time, but he could not identify anything. “Mu Yunyao, you are also a member of the Su family, so you should understand that the truth that everyone is prosperous and everyone is damaged.”

“Cousin is joking. My surname is Mu, not Su!” She has never regarded herself as Su’s family member!

~VENGEANCE MUST BE AVENGED WITH ONE'S OWN HANDS, AND HATRED MUST BE PAID FACE TO FACE! ~ 

The darkness of the night gradually grew thinner. The light of dawn had already begun to appear on the skyline.

Mu Yunyao stood up and gently tidied up her dress. The clothes drenched in cold sweat earlier were now completely dry by themselves and made her feel extremely uncomfortable because they stick to her body, but she didn’t plan to change them. She strode towards the door. “Si Shu, Si Hua, you follow me to see Elder Sister Yuyi.”

Liu Liang stepped forward: “Mistress, I will go with you.”

“How about your injury?”

“It doesn’t matter for the time being.”

“Alright.” Seeing his resolute attitude, Mu Yunyao didn’t force him away. The things she had prepared earlier were all burnt in the room. Fortunately, she still had some left on her body just in case.

Su Yuyi had been sleeping very restlessly. In her dreams, she would always remember the moment when Mu Yunyao was looking at her with a ruthless gaze. Just as she was half asleep, she suddenly discovered a figure sitting beside the bed, causing her shocked and hurriedly wake up. She opened her mouth to cry out in alarm but was stopped by a dagger embedded with a gem and forcefully swallowed that cry of surprise as she gulped it down.

Su Yuyi’s eyes widened, borrowing the light from outside the window, she was finally able to clearly see the figure in front of her: “Mu Yunyao?”

“Cousin, are you curious to see me?” Mu Yunyao slightly turned her head with a slight smile on her face, but it didn’t seem to be warm at all, causing others who saw it to feel a chill in their hearts.

“What are you going to do?” Su Yuyi couldn’t help trembling as she looked outside with a slight gaze. She wanted to find Qi Mama, who had been keeping watch for her. But she found that she was being tied up and thrown onto the ground, unable to utter a single word with a cloth blocking her mouth.

Mu Yunyao’s smile became even wider, “Cousin’s words are surprisingly strange. If I come to see you at this time, what else can I do? Naturally, it’s to avenge my mother.”

“What revenge? Why did you come to me? I didn’t do anything sorry to your mother.”

“Cousin, why are you lying to me now? You’re the one who did harm to my mother, and you set the fire as well. Why did you forget what you did so quickly?”

“You’re lying!” Su Yuyi quickly denied it. “I’ve been resting in my room and didn’t know anything when I fell asleep. When I woke up, the fire had already started. This had nothing to do with me.”

Mu Yunyao chuckled. “Cousin’s appearance of not admitting to the debt at all is really disgusting. Before, I asked you if you saw my mother. Do you remember how you answered?”

“What?” Su Yuyi quickly thought about it, and then her face turned pale.

“You remember now?” Mu Yunyao held the dagger and gently moved it forward. The sharp dagger carried a ghastly chill and immediately left a thin line of blood on Su Yuyi’s neck. “You said that you didn’t notice, but you asked if my mother didn’t escape?”

Su Yuyi felt pain in her neck, and her whole body trembled more and more. Her voice trembled, “I don’t understand what you’re saying. Who remembered what they said in that moment of panic?”

“It’s because of this panic that people can’t lie.” Mu Yunyao’s eyes filled with murderousness. “You came back earlier than my mother. If you had been sleeping, you probably wouldn’t have known that my mother had returned to the side room and wouldn’t have known that she had escaped or not!”

Su Yuyi wanted to shake her head, but the dagger was tightly pressed against her neck, causing her not dare to move at all: “Don’t speak nonsense, I don’t know anything! Mu Yunyao, I’m your cousin. The legitimate daughter of the Su family and the Eldest Miss of the Su family. If you dare to even touch a single hair on my head, Grandmother and Mother will definitely not let you off!”

Mu Yunyao laughed lightly, her eyes filled with hostility. “Are you threatening me?”

Su Yuyi thought that Mu Yunyao was afraid and couldn’t help but sneer: “What I said was the truth. Although your mother is Grandmother’s biological daughter, she has been living out for so many years, so Grandmother has no feelings at all for you. Furthermore, your father is born in the countryside, and his status is low, so Grandmother doesn’t like you at all. If you dare touch me, I will definitely complain to Grandmother when I go back. Do you think she’s helping me or helping you, the cheap granddaughter who depends on others! “

Mu Yunyao clicked her tongue, “You did remind me. I will say that I accidentally cut your neck with a dagger. It seems like you hold a grudge against me in your heart. When you return to the Su family, you will definitely sue me. Since that was the case, I might as well just kill you right here and now. The dead won’t say a word, won’t you?”

Su Yuyi’s eyes widened in fear. She wanted to see the meaning of this joke from Mu Yunyao’s expression, but her clear eyes filled with killing intent. It was so cold that it seemed to be mixed with ice and snow. “You....”

Mu Yunyao raised her head and looked towards the window. The sky was already gradually getting brighter. “Elder Sister Yuyi, the sky is about to brighter, so I don’t have much time to talked with you.”

“What are you going to do?”

“I don’t like to drag my feet the most and dislikes procrastination. After all, grudges are a form of suppression. If you accumulate too much, you will inevitably crush people. So if I have any hatred, I usually avenge it face to face. You dared to reach your hand to my mother’s side and almost killed her. If I don’t get revenge, I will toss and turn, so....”

As soon as Mu Yunyao finished speaking, she pulled over the quilt from the side and covered Su Yuyi’s face. Then, she placed half of her hand on the bed and let her forearm hang in the air. Then, presses her knee against the hanging little arm.

“Ka Cha!” A bone-cracking sound was heard.

“Ugh …” Su Yuyi struggled violently. She wanted to scream, but her mouth and nose were blocked by the quilt.

She struggled too hard, causing Mu Yunyao to be thrown to the side due to her lack of strength. Si Shu and Si Hua stepped forward and held Su Yu Shi down, not allowing her to move.

Mu Yunyao took out a handkerchief and lightly wiped off the blood on the dagger. After tying it back to her leg, she patted her hands and looked towards Su Yuyi with a smile as she said, “Elder Sister Yuyi, you extended your hand towards my mother today,so I broke your hand. It’s especially fair, right?”

Su Yuyi was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat. Her eyes widened in fear as her face contorted slightly. “Ugh … Devil.” Mu Yunyao was a Devil!

Mu Yunyao sat on the bedside and lowered her eyes to looked at Su Yuyi, “Many things have one and two. Why are there two if they are one. You harmed my mother once, so you must want to harm her a second time. Furthermore, I broke your hand today. This new hatred and old grievances are superimposed, and I really can’t rest assured that your life will be right. Si Shu, Si Hua, send Eldest Miss Su to the streets on the road. She is a legitimate daughter of the Su family, so don’t let her die disgracefully, leave her with an intact corpse...”

“Oh... Oh...Ugh…” Su Yuyi’s eyes widened as her face contorted in fear. She struggled to beg for mercy, but her mouth was tightly sealed, and she was unable to make a sound.

Si Shu and Si Hua took the brocade quilt from the side and placed it on Su Yu Yi’s head. No matter how much she struggled, she did not relax.

After a long while, Su Yuyi’s struggling became weaker and weaker...

~ UNDERSTAND THE CAUSE AND EFFECT ~ 

Su Qingwu had already made up his mind to send Su Yuyi back to the residence first, but seeing Mu Yunyao like this, he didn’t dare to take the risk. He was afraid that Mu Yunyao would get angry and make a move on the road in anger.

Su Yuyi felt that Yunyao’s words were pressing down on her internally and externally. She felt panicked in her heart for no reason, “If I’m not going back, then I won’t trouble little sister Yunyao to take care of me. You should take care of Aunt first.”

“Judging from Eldest Brother’s expression, he probably doesn’t plan to bring Eldest Sister back to the residence first. So, I can go back and take care of mother without worry.” After Mu Yunyao finished speaking, she turned around and went forward to support Su Qing. She then followed the Monk of Baohua Temple to the newly arranged room.

When they arrived at the newly arranged room, Mu Yunyao helped Su Qing to sit down. She then turned her head and instructed Si Shu at the side, “Go take a look where did Eldest Brother arrange Su Yuyi to rest?”

Su Qing hurriedly held onto Mu Yunyao’s hand. “Yao’er?”

Mu Yunyao raised her head with a smile on her face, but it didn’t have the usual pure warmth. Instead, it emitted an indescribable baleful aura. “Mother, you don’t need to worry. I know what I’m doing.”

Si Shu hurriedly nodded her head, got up, and walked outside.

Su Qing’s ankle was only slightly sprained, and it wasn’t that severe. It would be better to recuperate slowly for a while. What was more troublesome was her throat, which was burned by the smoke. She would probably have to suffer a little bit before she recovered.

Jin Wang sent a doctor to come over and sent someone to comfort her. Mu Yunyao didn’t refuse the doctor’s offer to help Su Qing treat her injuries. She waited until he had finished prescribing the medicine before she added a few more herbs. Then, she let Si Qin boil the medicine. Mu Yunyao purposely added some sleeping aid to the medicine, so Su Qing fell asleep not long after. Seeing that Su Qing was sleeping soundly, Mu Yunyao stood up and went to the outer room to sit down. Si Qin and Si Qin hurriedly went forward to kneel on the ground. Their faces were full of shame as they quietly waited for their punishment.

After a long time, Mu Yunyao finally spoke. “Tell me everything what happened tonight in full detail.”

“Yes, Miss.” Si Qin opened her mouth first. “After Miss went to help Grand Princess Yi copy the Buddhist scriptures, I accompanied Madam to drink some tea and snacks in the room. Afterward, she went to the prayer hall to chant the Buddhist scriptures and pray according to yesterday’s time. After a while, Miss Su said that her leg hurt, so Young Master asked her to go back. After about an hour later, while Si Cha and I were guarding outside, a monk suddenly appeared. He said that Miss was accidentally hurt by a bookcase in the Scripture Pavilion and asked me to help him. When the servant thought of Si Qi guarding Madam, I immediately rushed to the Scripture Pavilion. Afterward, Miss knew all about it.”

Mu Yunyao’s eyes seemed to be filled with ice crystals, the light in her eyes rippling yet filled with chilliness. “What about Liuliang? Isn’t he protecting you from the shadows?”

“This servant doesn’t know.”

Mu Yunyao remained silent, and the room immediately quietened down. After about a cup of tea, footsteps could be heard at the door. Si Hua went up to open the door and saw Liu Liang standing at the door.

Mu Yunyao raised her eyes, her gaze her eyes deep and unwavering. “Liu Liang, where have you been?”

Liu Liang walked into the room and knelt down, “Reporting to Mistress, I have been lured away and have fallen into an ambush. Cough cough....” As he said this, he couldn’t help but cough twice, and a small trickle of blood seeped out from the corner of his lips.

“With your skill, how many people’s ambush could injure you to such an extent?”

“A dozen or so lackeys, plus three inner sect experts.”

“What about those people?”

“Dead.”

Mu Yunyao’s eyes moved, “Have you cleaned up the corpses? Did you find any clues?”

“I’ve interrogated them to find out who they were. They told me that they were bribed, but they didn’t know who it was. They only said that the person had a mole on his brow. After being injured by me, those two experts from the inner sect experts saw that they had no way to escape, so they directly killed themselves without giving an explanation, and there was no obvious mark on their bodies....” As he said this, he couldn’t help but cough twice, and his face turned even paler. “Please punish me, Mistress.”

“Two inner sect experts....” Mu Yunyao slightly frowned. Those ten or so hooligans might have been ordered to be found by the Eldest Madam. But what about those two inner sect experts? Was he driven by the Eldest Madam, or was there someone else secretly interfering?

Si Shu also rushed back, “Reporting to Miss, this servant has found out where Eldest Miss Su is.”

Mu Yunyao nodded as she looked at the three people kneeling on the ground. “You three can stand up.”

Si Qin and Si Qi looked at each other, bit their lips, and kneeled on the ground without making a sound. Liu Liang did not have the slightest reaction and continued kneeling with his head down. Mu Yunyao looked at the three of them and spoke once again, “I believe that the three of you are loyal to Mother and me. I also know that this matter happened so suddenly and that you all did not intentionally cause this situation. Fortunately, Mother was fine and was only slightly injured. It’s just that a deliberate calculation of unintentional consequences. I just blame those enemies for being too mean.”

“Miss, please punish this servant. If you don’t punish this servant, then this servant’s heart will never be at peace.”

Mu Yunyao’s eyebrows moved as she lowered her eyes slightly, “Since that’s the case, then I’ll punish you with three months of wages. With this lesson, I believe that you won’t make the same mistake the next time. Liu Liang, your injuries are quite severe, go and take care of yourself, don’t leave any root of illness.”

Liu Liang raised his head and said with an uneasy look, “Mistress, Liu Liang should be punished...”

“What, all of you are starting to feel uneasy even though I’m not punishing you all?” Mu Yunyao let out a faint sigh as she faced him and said, “This is Baohua Temple. After listening to the Buddhist scriptures for the past few days, my heart is unavoidably a little bit more lenient. Your punishment is three months’ worth of wages, and also, if you don’t chase after them and kill them, those people may have tried to kill Mothe. You haven’t really done anything wrong. I can still tell the difference between right and wrong.”

“... Liu Liang thanks Mistress. “

“Get up. The smell of blood on your body is too strong. Go down and bandage your wound first. I will prescribe some medicine to restore internal strength and heal the wound. Someone will send it over to you later.”

“Thank you, Mistress.” He looked at Mu Yunyao and saw that she was safe and sound. Only then did the fear in his heart slowly dissipate.

He heard that in Baohua Temple, there was a big fire, and it was in Mu Yunyao’s room at that. He was flustered and was injured by someone while the enemy looked for an opening. He rushed back all the way, and his heart trembled with cold. When he confirmed that Mu Yunyao was safe, it gradually stabilized. This time, those people were targeting Madam, and some were secretly trying to save her. What if the next time those people attacked Madam, and no one happened to protect them? Just thinking of this result made him unable to accept it. It was as if his heart had returned to its previous empty state. Liu Liang gritted his teeth secretly and suppressed the blood in his chest several times. This was enough to teach him a lesson. He would never make the same mistake again!

~ YUE WANG SAVES PEOPLE ~ 

Mu Yunyao quietly stood there, trying her best to open her eyes wide so that she could clearly see the situation within the great fire. Her entire body was surrounded by a heavy wave of grief. At this time, she didn’t shed tears, but it suddenly occurred to people that there were words of Great Compassion and Silence. “Miss, please don’t do this. It’s all my fault. Iit’s all this servant’s fault....” Si Qin raised her hand and slapped herself twice. Previously, Miss clearly warned her that she couldn’t leave Madam’s side, but she was still too careless. She didn’t expect that such a thing happened just after she left for a short time.

Su Qingwu quickly walks to Mu Yunyao. As soon as he wants to say something, he sees Su Yuyi being helped by Qi Mama. She is pale, with tears on her face, and her skirt is dirty. She looks a little embarrassed: “Elder Brother.”

“Yuyi, are you injured?”

Su Yuyi shook her head, her tears falling non-stop: “My body isn’t feeling well, I wanted to rest in my room for a while, but when I was falling asleep, I smelled smoke. Luckily I woke up in time, and escaped while the fire was not getting bigger. Otherwise…… I won’t have a chance to see you, Elder Brother. “

“What about Aunt? Did you see her?”

“I didn’t notice. Did Aunt not escape?”

Mu Yunyao suddenly turned around, her cold gaze locked onto Su Yuyi’s body. The dense hostility in her gaze was like the edge of a blade, capable of cutting a person into a bloody mess.

After meeting Mu Yunyao’s gaze, Su Yuyi abruptly took two steps back. Just now, she almost thought that Mu Yunyao would cut open her throat, but after reacting, she became even more furious in her heart, “Cousin Yunyao, you must be sosad.”

“When did you leave the prayer hall?” Mu Yunyao’s voice was hoarse, and she spoke extremely slowly as if every word was squeezed out of her throat.

“I had not recovered from my previous illness. But today, I’ve knelt for another day. At night, I can’t bear it anymore, so Elder Brother, since he doted on me, asked me to come back early.”

“How long have you been back?”

“Cousin Yunyao, what is the meaning of this? Are you questioning me? “ Su Yuyi frowned.

The baleful aura around Mu Yunyao grew even stronger, “Answer me! How long have you been back?”

Su Yuyi originally didn’t want to answer, but under Mu Yunyao’s forceful gaze, his heart couldn’t help but tremble: “It’s been more than an hour. Is there a problem with that?”

Mu Yunyao tightly clenched her fist. Her palm was pierced through by a fingernail, and blood quickly flowed out. “Damn you....”

“Miss, look!” Si Qin and the others exclaimed. They hurriedly pulled Mu Yunyao to look to the west, “It’s Madam!”

Mu Yunyao suddenly trembled, and her lips couldn’t help but tremble. She tried twice before finally turning around and following the direction that Si Qin indicated. Her tears fell down.

Mother. It’s Mother!

The pressure around her body suddenly receded, and all kinds of noisy voices once again drifted to her ears. The moment she saw Su Qing, she felt that she had come back to life.

Si Qin hurriedly supported Mu Yunyao as they walked up to welcome her. “That’s great. Madam is fine!” As long as Madam was there, Miss would not reveal that frightening expression. Miss had always been serene and beautiful in front of Madam. They had always thought that this was the real appearance of Miss. However, just now, upon hearing the news that Madam might lose her life in the sea of fire, the aura around Miss suddenly changed. She was gloomy, cold, and angry, as if that the Shura hall is spreading out slowly...

Mu Yunyao rushed forward and suddenly hugged Su Qing. She opened her mouth a few times before hoarsely shouting out two words, “Mother....”

Su Qing hurriedly reached out to support her, but her body couldn’t help but sway for a bit. Fortunately, Si Qin has supported her from the side, so she didn’t fall to the ground. “Yao’er, cough cough .... It’s okay. Mother is fine. Don’t worry, cough....”

After a long while, Mu Yunyao finally relaxed. She anxiously looked at Su Qing and asked, “Mother, are you injured?”

Su Qing’s appearance was somewhat miserable. Her sleeves and skirt had traces of being burnt. Her arms were also wounded, and her feet were unsteady. “Don’t worry, cough cough … It isn’t a problem. I just accidentally sprained my leg. Cough cough.... I choked on two mouthfuls of smoke....”

“Mother, don’t say anything. I’ll hel you to sit down and rest for a while.”

“I am fine… But Young Master Ning... cough cough, he was injured … You...”

Mu Yunyao’s eyes trembled: “Yue... Fourth Master Ning, did he save Mother?”

“Ahem... Si Qi and I were trapped in the fire... The surrounding smoke was billowing, and the fire was too strong, so we can’t escape... Seeing that the house was about to burn down, it was Young Master Ning who rushed in and rescued Si Qi and me... He was accidentally injured when we came out. Now...” Su Qing throat was thick.

She choked the smoke badly. In the end, her voice was hoarse, and she could not make a sound.

Mu Yunyao hurriedly stepped forward to support her. “Mother, you don’t need to worry. Once we’ve settled you in, I’ll go visit Fourth Master Ning.”

At this moment, there were too many people around, so Mu Yunyao couldn’t afford to visit Yue Wang immediately. She could only wait for the others to disperse before doing so.

When Su Yuyi saw that Su Qing was okay, she opened her eyes wide, and a trace of resentment flashed across her heart: How could Su Qing escape with her life intact when the fire was already in such a state? How could she be so lucky?

When Su Qingwu previously heard Mu Yunyao interrogates Su Yuyi, she felt that something wasn’t right. Now that she had such an expression, his eyes suddenly turned cold: “Yuyi, you....”

Su Yuyi quickly came back to her senses. When she saw Su Qingwu’s gaze, she suddenly felt guilty. “Why is Elder Brother looking at me like that?”

“Since you are not feeling well, there is no need to continue praying. I will have someone prepare a carriage for you, so you can return home overnight.”

“Why?” Su Yuyi quickly shook her head, “There is still one more day tomorrow. I can still hold on.” The Grand Princess Yi De was still here. She hadn’t even seen anyone, so how could she be willing to return?

“Let’s head back to the residence first. There’s no need to ask so much.” Just now, Mu Yunyao’s expression was too frightening, causing Su Qingwu to feel unsettled. It was best if she sent Yuyi away first.

However, Su Yuyi was unwilling: “Elder Brother, look at my dirty skirt. It’s already so dark, and the way home is not easy. What if something happens to me? Isn’t Elder Brother worried?”

“I’ll have someone escort you. Nothing will happen.” Su Qingwu’s attitude was firm.

“Eldest Brother, why must you be in such a hurry?” Mu Yunyao walked over there at an unknown time, her pitch-black eyes glowing with a faint red light. In the darkness of the night, she gave off an indescribable feeling that made people feel somewhat demonic, her lips slightly raised upwards, but her smile didn’t reach the bottom of her eyes. “ It’s already so late. I heard those wild beasts would occasionally appear from time to time and hurt people in the vicinity. Even if there were no wild beasts, people’s hearts are unpredictable. Currently, everyone knew Eldest Sister’s reputation. If there was someone on the way … that’s hard to explain.”

Hearing Mu Yunyao’s words, Su Yuyi felt a chill in her heart, “Elder Brother, I’m not going back!”

“Qi Mama, Baohua Temple will arrange another place to live. You can take the Eldest Miss over to rest first.” Su Qing Wu looked at Mu Yunyao, and the light in his eyes became extremely profound. “Yunyao, Aunt and you were both frightened, so you should go back and rest at this time. If you have anything to say, you can talk about it in the future.”

“Thank you for your concern, Eldest Brother. Is Eldest Sister still going back?” Her gaze lightly landed on Su Yuyi’s body. Mu Yunyao blinked her eyes at an expressly quick speed. The curve of her lips deepened, but it was filled with a cold chill.

~ UNPRECEDENTED FEAR ~ 

Seeing that Yue Wang didn’t say anything, Mu Yunyao didn’t bother with him anymore. She lightly flexed her wrist and continued to write the Buddhist scriptures.

The Scripture Pavilion was completely silent. Occasionally, there would be the sound of lights exploding, and a faint crackling sound could be heard.

Yue Wang sat to the side and looked at Mu Yunyao as she quietly copied down Buddhist scriptures. Her eyes were bright and clear, and her breath was calm. The strokes in her hands were especially meticulous, giving people a sense of safety as they watched from the side.

Mu Yunyao’s mind was completely immersed in the Buddhist scriptures, completely ignoring Yue Wang. She was in the middle of writing seriously when her heart suddenly skipped a beat. A burst of panic caused the brush in her hands to become unsteady, and a droplet of ink dripped onto the paper.

“Yunyao, what’s the matter with you?”

Mu Yunyao’s forehead wrinkled, and her fingers unconsciously touched her chest. “What time is it now?”

“It’s not that late yet, just around....”

Before Yue Wang could finish speaking, the door of the Scripture Pavilion was suddenly pushed open. Si Qin, whose head was covered with sweat, ran in quickly. Seeing that Mu Yunyao and Yue Wang were safe and sound, her face turned white: “Miss, are you alright?”

Hearing this, Mu Yunyao’s pupils constricted, and she fiercely stood up from the table. The brush in her hand landed on her pure white clothes and drew a long black ink mark, but she didn’t pay it any heed as she stumbled towards the entrance of the Scripture Pavilion.

Yue Wang’s expression froze as he quickly rushed over to Mu Yunyao and supported her shoulders. “Don’t be afraid!” Mu Yunyao didn’t even have time to react before he wrapped his arm around her waist, hugged her in his arms, and made his way quickly to the prayer hall.

Mu Yunyao tightly held onto the clothes covering Yue Wang’s chest, and her entire body slightly trembled as if it was a bowstring that had been pulled taut to the extreme and would break in the next second.

Just now, Si Qin came over in such a hurry and asked if she had anything wrong. Someone must have told her in advance that something had happened to her. She rushed over to check and realized that nothing had happened to her. It made her suddenly remember that this was a way to lure a tiger out of the mountain.

Some people wanted to move Si Qin and Si Qi away from Mother. Once Mother was alone, then...

Mu Yunyao’s fingers tightened. Because she had used too much strength, her fingers were covered in a blue-white glow.

As Yue Wang hurried over, he looked down at her. Seeing her this way, he felt as if his heart was being squeezed tight by someone.

As they approached the prayer hall, Yue Wang placed Mu Yunyao down.

Si Qin, who had followed her, quickly supported her and rushed into the hall. But only Su Qingwu, Su Yaxian, and the others were left in the hall. Su Yuyi and Su Qing were nowhere to be seen.

“Where’s my mother?”

Su Qingwu stood up. When he saw Yue Wang, who was following closely behind, his pupils shrank. Why would Yunyao be together with Yue Wang? “Why are you here in such a hurry?”

Mu Yunyao’s heart was in a complete panic as she grabbed onto Su Qingwu’s clothes, “Where’s my mother?”

“Aunt just returned to the room....” Su Qingwu furrowed his brows, noticing that there was something wrong with her expression. He was a little worried in his heart, “Yunyao, what happened?”

Mu Yunyao ignored him and turned around to walk out. Just as she walked out of the hall door, she heard the sound of a gong being knocked. The faint sounds of clamoring could be heard: “Find water!”

Mu Yunyao lost her balance, her legs went weak, and almost falling to the ground. Luckily, Si Qin had a quick reaction and supported her, “Miss!”

Mu Yunyao wants to run to the side room, but she feels that her legs are out of control. The more anxious she was, the more she couldn’t even take a step forward. Don’t panic, don’t panic, something might not happen, so after she tried to console herself several times in her heart, she turned her head to look for the figure of the Yue Wang, only to see that Yue Wang had already quickly moved towards the direction of the side room.

“Si Qin... Quick …”

Seeing Mu Yunyao’s expression, Su Qingwu suddenly reacted, “Yunyao, I’m going over to take a look now. It might not be aunty’s side.”

Si Qin holds Mu Yunyao to walk towards the side room quickly. While walking, she secretly scolded herself, “Blame it all on this servant. After hearing that Miss was in accident, I become flustered. Thinking that Madam would not be in any major incidents with Si Qi by her side, but I didn’t expect that this would be a diversion.”

Mu Yunyao didn’t pay any attention to Si Qin. At this time, all the sounds in her ears had already disappeared. She only wants to return to the room quickly. Perhaps all her guesses had been a false alarm, and her mother was fine. She is sitting in the side room waiting for her to come back with a smile.

A fiery light soared into the sky, dyeing half of the night sky red!

At this time of the year, the Capital was already dry and dusty. In addition, the wind at the Baohua Temple was so strong. With the help of wind, the fire flared, and sparks flew in all directions.

Many monks and pilgrims came to save the fire after hearing the news, but the fire was too big, so the water would not have much effect.

Looking at the room was surrounded by raging flames, Mu Yunyao tried her best to widen her eyes. Her voice was so hoarse that it could not be described, “Mother!”

Mu Yunyao pushed Si Qin away, her face devoid of blood. Her entire body was trembling like a sieve, but her steps were firm as she charged towards the burning room.

Su Qingwu hurriedly pulled her back. “I’ll send someone to put out the fire, but don’t be rash. Perhaps Aunt is not in the room.”

Mu Yunyao suddenly turned her head. The hatred in her eyes was like a tide, surging downwards as if it could drown someone out, “Let go of me!”

Su Qingwu’s heart trembled. It was just that the hatred in her eyes was too astonishing, as though she was an enemy that wouldn’t rest until he died. With just a glance, she was able to make him tremble, “Yunyao, calm down!”

Mu Yunyao reached out to pull off Su Qingwu’s hand, but she couldn’t find enough strength. In a state of emotional breakdown, she directly lifted her hand and fiercely bit onto the back of Su Qingwu’s hand. She mustered all her strength, and immediately after taking a bite, the smell of blood gushed out, causing her to be unable to suppress her urge to vomit.

Su Qingwu subconsciously loosened his grip. Her forehead furrowed, and he didn’t seem to care about his injuries at all. “Don’t move. I’ll go in and help you find someone.”

Mu Yunyao completely ignored him. After struggling free, she immediately rushed into the room.
“Miss!” Si Qin followed closely. Just as the two of them arrived at the door, the main beam of the side room burned and collapsed suddenly, which was red and roaring.

The house collapsed, there would be no more survivors!

Si Qin stepped forward to block Mu Yunyao’s path. “Miss, the house has collapsed, and we can’t enter!”
Mu Yunyao tried her best to open her eyes wide, and her pitch-black pupils covered in layers of blood-red light from the flames.

Si Qin quickly pulled her back and spoke with an uncontrollably trembling voice, “Miss, don’t scare me. Perhaps Madam isn’t inside. Maybe she is looking for you right everywhere now?”

Mu Yunyao didn’t have the slightest reaction. At this time, she couldn’t hear anything. She only feels that the whole figure has been immersed in an ice-cold pond and was unceasingly sinking. The ice-cold water poured into her mouth and nose, blocking all her breathing. No matter how hard she struggles, she will never see the sun again......

Incurable Chapter 27 Part 2

Chapter 27 (2/2)

When Liu Qianxiu returned home, it was already eleven.

Only the table lamp in the living room was still on. Beneath that single pool of light, a woman was curled over the low table.

Her slim body had folded into a small circle, and yet somehow seemed to fill the entire room.

She was sleeping deeply, her face pillowed on her arms, turned toward the living room—almost as though she had been staring toward the door while waiting for him, only to finally succumb to sleep.

Her hair draped over her shoulders.

Her small face beneath it was vivid and beautiful even in sleep. Her eyes were closed, her lashes casting a faint shadow along the lower lids, her whole expression peaceful and still.

Even from where he stood, Liu Qianxiu felt as though he could hear her breathing, even and slow.

She had really been waiting for him all this time.

And now that he had returned, he walked over to her.

Sleeping on the low table was not comfortable.

Mu Wan had only dozed lightly after waiting too long for him. She had not fallen fully asleep. From that shallow sleep, she sensed someone approaching. Her mind gradually cleared, and she opened her eyes.

The man stood by the table, looking down at her.

Mu Wan lifted her eyes and met the dark, limpid gaze fixed on her.

“You’re back.”

Her voice came out slightly hoarse. She closed her eyes briefly, rubbing her cheek against her arm once before lifting her head.

“Why didn’t you go back to the room?” Liu Qianxiu asked.

As he spoke, she rubbed her neck. Her pale fingers pressed into her dark hair. Her head tipped back slightly, exposing the elegant line of her throat in the shadow of the lamplight.

“I said I’d wait for you.”

Mu Wan shrugged lightly. Her shoulders were thin and straight, the hollow at her throat clear, her eyes still black and bright.

She smiled, planting a hand on the table as she pushed herself upright.

“Now that you’re back, I’ll go to the guest roo—”

Before she finished, she braced a hand against the table and tried to stand.

But her legs had gone numb. The pins-and-needles sensation shot up from the soles of her feet and through the whole lower half of her body.

Mu Wan stumbled.

The instant her body tilted toward the low table, she reached out for the man in front of her.

Before her hand could find him, he had already caught her.

His hand landed on her waist.

Mu Wan stiffened all over.

His palm was large, dry, and cool. Through the thin fabric of her clothes, the sensation pressed straight into her skin. It felt cool, but it made her hot.

Her jaw trembled faintly.

Looking up at him, she said, “My leg’s asleep…”

She did not even finish the sentence.

Her body wavered again.

Mu Wan’s heart skipped. She gave a small cry of surprise as her body lifted clear off the ground.

Liu Qianxiu had bent and picked her up in his arms.

To keep from falling, Mu Wan threw both arms around his neck, her eyes widening.

“Liu Qianxiu.”

The living room was so quiet that all she could hear was her own heartbeat. She was very close to him. He looked down at her, listening to her say his name.

“Mm.”

Liu Qianxiu answered softly and carried her into the guest room.

He had brought her here once before, so he knew the way easily.

After laying her on the bed, he turned on the night lamp.

Under the light, the two of them looked at one another.

It seemed as if each of them had something to say.

And yet it also seemed as if neither of them did.

Mu Wan lay under the blanket, her body slowly relaxing.

She looked into Liu Qianxiu’s eyes.

Her thoughts were starting to drift.

“Liu Qianxiu, why did you agree to let me go to the Taoist temple with you?”

Liu Qianxiu looked at her.

Her voice was growing softer, and her eyes were slowly closing.

“I wanted to confirm whether the environment would affect my state of mind.”

“Will the environment affect it?”

Mu Wan’s small face turned to the side against the pillow. Her eyes had already closed.

Liu Qianxiu’s throat moved lightly.

Listening to the woman’s breathing gradually even out, he answered in a low voice,

“No. Only people do.”

Incurable Chapter 27 Part 1

Chapter 27 (1/2)

The sunset clouds spread across the sky.

Mu Wan tilted her head back to look at Liu Qianxiu. Something fluttered in her chest. She did not blink once as she asked uncertainly, “Did you hear it?”

“No.” Liu Qianxiu denied it and lowered his eyes to look at her.

Her hair was tied up, and even the loose strands had been gilded red by the fading light. The sea breeze lifted them, and they swayed like strands of seaweed.

“When you want to tell me,” he said, “I’ll listen.”

She wanted to tell him now.

She just did not know what the outcome would be.

Mu Wan smiled.

“That’s true. I’ll definitely tell you one day.”

The sun’s last afterglow stretched the beauty of the sea into something even more vivid and expansive.

The sun had sunk into the water.

Grains of sand shifted beneath their feet.

The two of them left the shore together.

This time Mu Wan had not fallen asleep, so she went with Liu Qianxiu to Xu Xingkong’s house.

The doorbell rang, Xu Xingkong opened the door, and the moment she saw Mu Wan standing behind Liu Qianxiu, her eyes lit up slightly, and she smiled.

“You’re here. Come in.”

Standing behind Liu Qianxiu, Mu Wan smiled back.

She liked Xu Xingkong very much.

Xu Xingkong possessed that particular gentleness unique to women from Jiangnan—like a length of gauze rinsed in a shallow stream, drifting slowly with the current, soft yet resilient. In Xu Xingkong, Mu Wan found something she had in common with her own mother. That made her feel instinctively close to her.

The four cats were split between two carriers. Liu Qianxiu carried one in each hand, while Mu Wan held only a carton of strawberry milk. Once inside, Mu Wan handed it over.

“This is for you. It’s pretty sweet. Liu Qianxiu bought it.”

Xu Xingkong glanced at Liu Qianxiu, then accepted it with a smile.

“Thank you.”

Liu Qianxiu carried the cats into the cat room. But as soon as he set the carriers down, he received a phone call. After answering it, he stepped back outside, leaving only Mu Wan and Xu Xingkong in the room.

Mu Wan crouched down and let Zhouyi and the three kittens out.

Xu Xingkong wanted to help, but Mu Wan quickly said there was no need. As she opened the carrier, Zhouyi was the first to spring out. He was clearly already used to this place. The moment he came out, he leaped up onto the cat tree. The three little ones, on the other hand, seemed as though they had glue on them. They toddled out of the carrier one by one, meowing in their soft kitten voices, then stuck themselves around Mu Wan’s ankles.

“Kittens are clingy,” Xu Xingkong said as she watched the three of them. In the end, she crouched down too.

The way she crouched made her lean back a little. Mu Wan assumed it was just a personal habit and did not think anything of it.

“But they cling to Liu Qianxiu even more,” Mu Wan said.

She pointed toward the doorway, where Liu Qianxiu was still on the phone. His voice was low. She could not make out what he was saying, only catch the occasional work-related word.

There was a different kind of charm about him when he was working.

Mu Wan found herself drifting into a daze just listening.

When she came back to herself and saw Xu Xingkong looking at her, warmth rose to her face. She hurriedly withdrew her gaze and rested a hand on the kittens’ small heads.

“These three are mine. But Liu Qianxiu was worried I wouldn’t be able to keep them alive, so he’s fostering them for now. Once they’re older, I’ll take them back.”

“Qianxiu really likes cats.”

At the mention of Liu Qianxiu, Xu Xingkong smiled.

“Our cat was given to my husband by him too.”

“Oh?”

Mu Wan looked surprised for a second, then remembered what Liu Qianxiu had once said and smiled.

“He told me his friend didn’t know how to raise one, so his friend’s wife ended up doing it.”

“Mm.”

Remembering how Mimi had first been treated in Huai Jing’s house, Xu Xingkong nodded.

“He really didn’t know how. In the end, I took the cat in.”

“Then did the two of you meet because of a cat?” Mu Wan asked.

“Not exactly.”

The moment the topic turned to the past, Xu Xingkong’s cheeks flushed faintly. Her relationship with Huai Jing had not begun because of a cat, though the cat had run through it from beginning to end.

“Your husband must be a very gentle person,” Mu Wan said as she looked at Xu Xingkong.

Happiness flowed from the corners of Xu Xingkong’s eyes, and somehow that warmed Mu Wan too.

She had never met Xu Xingkong’s husband, but she could already sense what he must be like.

Their house was large and open, yet not cold. Every corner of it carried a soft kind of warmth. If two people were not in love, a home could never hold that kind of happiness so densely.

Hearing Mu Wan’s judgment of her husband, Xu Xingkong curled her lips into a smile. But she did not fully agree. She only said, “Mm. He’s very gentle to me.”

“That’s so nice,” Mu Wan said softly.

She reached out and poked at Zhongfen’s ear, then murmured, “If only Liu Qianxiu were like that too.”

At that moment, the cat room door opened. The two women both turned.

Liu Qianxiu swept his gaze across the room, then let it settle on Mu Wan.

“There’s something at the hospital. I need to go back now.”

Xu Xingkong saw the two of them out and walked them to the car. Mu Wan waved goodbye before fastening her seatbelt.

The sun had completely set by then, and night had fallen. The streetlights lit up in rows, bathing the coastal road in brightness.

Liu Qianxiu handled everything steadily. He drove the same way.

Mu Wan leaned back in her seat, looking at the lighthouse standing on the sea cliffs.

“What’s going on at the hospital?”

As the beam from the lighthouse swept over her, Mu Wan narrowed her eyes for a moment, then looked back at Liu Qianxiu.

“There’s an issue with tomorrow’s surgery. We need to discuss the plan in a meeting,” Liu Qianxiu answered.

“Oh.”

Mu Wan responded, then asked, “Will it take a long time?”

“Yes. You should go home first,” Liu Qianxiu said.

Her lashes moved slightly.

Looking at his profile, Mu Wan asked, “Which home?”

At the red light, Liu Qianxiu turned his head.

The woman’s eyes were filled with scattered bits of light as she smiled at him.

“I may be busy until very late,” he said. The surgical plan for tomorrow had not yet been finalized.

“I can wait for you,” Mu Wan said.

What was she planning to wait for? It definitely was not dinner. It was already seven now. If he finished, it would be after nine.

After saying it, Mu Wan closed her lips and gave a sheepish little smile.

“Ah. It’ll be too late for dinner by then.”

“Go to my place,” Liu Qianxiu said calmly. “I don’t have time to take you home right now.”

Tang’er Hospital was close to Nanfeng Apartments. But if he had to take her all the way back to her own place and then return, that would cost nearly an hour. He truly did not have time.

Mu Wan pressed her lips together for a second, then nodded.

“Okay. I’m fine. I can be anywhere.”

Liu Qianxiu only took Mu Wan as far as the entrance of Nanfeng Apartments.

Then he gave her the apartment’s password.

Mu Wan entered it, heard the lock click open, pressed the handle down, and pushed the door wide.

The apartment inside was pitch-black.

Completely at ease by now, Mu Wan turned on the living room lights. Light spilled across the space, but it still felt wide and empty. Even the elusive Zhouyi was nowhere to be seen. The whole apartment held no one but her.

It was similar to her own place.

But not the same.

At home, there was only ever her.

Here, whether it was one hour, or two hours—or however many hours it took—as long as she waited, Liu Qianxiu would come back.

Mu Wan walked to the low table, took off her shoes, stepped onto the rug, and sat down cross-legged.

The books on the table were still the same ones. Liu Qianxiu seemed to read them over and over again. She had no idea how he could stand books this dry.

After sitting there for a while, Mu Wan looked out the window.

The living room faced south, with a wide open view. A curved moon hung high in the sky, cold and pale and bright, enlarging the apartment’s emptiness even more.

A few strands of agarwood fragrance still lingered in the room. Leaning back against the weight-bearing wall, Mu Wan took in the entire living room with one sweep of her eyes.

At night, under the moonlight, it really did feel a little like a Taoist temple.

But no matter how much the décor resembled one, this was still the middle of the secular world. That was probably why Liu Qianxiu wanted to retreat to the temple for quiet cultivation.

Waiting was, in truth, terribly boring.

Mu Wan had waited around on plenty of sets before. There were times in broad daylight when she had waited so long she drifted off to sleep.

But tonight, waiting for Liu Qianxiu in his home, she felt no sleepiness at all.

She leaned forward, took out her phone, and started playing a game.

~ PICKED UP THE HIBISCUS ~ 

As Mu Yunyao stood up, she felt a strong wave of anger coming from her side. She turned her head and saw Su Yu Yi’s gaze filled with anger, and Su Yuyi said, “Cousin Sister is here kneels down to pray for Grandfather, but she still has time to pay her respects in front of the Grand Princess, this is truly unexpected.”

“I also took advantage of it. Because I came here earlier yesterday, thus I met with the Grand Princess. If Elder Sister had been here yesterday, I don’t think I would have had the chance to meet her today.”

Mu Yunyao’s words were very amiable. But in Su Yuyi’s ears, it was no different than a slap to her face.

Why didn’t she come yesterday? Wasn’t it because the Capital was filled with unbearable rumors, confusing her with a lowly dancer, forcing her to find someone and teach her how to dance, so she could use it to break through the rumors and restore her reputation.

Mu Yunyao’s words were obviously taunting her! She was just a lowly slut under someone else’s roof. How dare she say such words?

“Then Cousin Sister should go and copy the Buddhist scriptures as soon as possible. After all, the matter with the Grand Princess is more important, so we can’t delay her.” A fire rose in Su Yuyi’s heart, but her expression became more arrogant and colder. She raised her head high, and her slender neck was graceful. After saying that, she leads her people to walk away. Su Qingwu looked worriedly at Su Yuyi, then turned to Mu Yunyao and said, “Being able to help Grand Princess Yi De write a Buddhist scripture is your good fortune. Don’t go to the prayer hall to kneel down at night, so you could copy Buddhist scriptures with ease. In addition, in order to appear solemnity, you should take a bath in the incense in advance, and then go to the main hall to worship the Buddha, and then go to the Scripture Pavilion to copy the Buddhist scripture, so that the etiquette is not lost.”

“Thank you for the reminder, Cousin.” Mu Yunyao thanked him in an extremely courteous manner, but her heart was still a little unsettled.

The reason Grand Princess Yi De was able to see the Buddhist scriptures that she copied must be because she was reading them in the prayer hall. That is to say, last night, Yue Wang must have been there. So today, is it because of Yue Wang that Grand Princess Yi De asked her to copy the Buddhist scriptures?

Su Qing walked up and caressed Mu Yunyao’s hair, “You don’t have to think so much about it. Whether it’s a blessing or a curse is not something that can be avoided. The Grand Princess’s words have already been handed over. All you have to do is copy the Buddhist scriptures with peace of mind.

Mu Yunyao nodded. “Alright. I’ll listen to Mother. Mother needs to pay extra attention to herself. If you want to go out for a walk, you must bring along Si Qin and Si Qi with you.

After copying these two scrolls of Buddhist scriptures, she was at the heart of the struggle. Furthermore, looked at Su Yuyi’s appearance today clearly showed that she was full of resentment. However, this was Baohua Temple, and with Grand Princess Yi De here, she shouldn’t act rashly.

“Don’t worry.”

Mu Yunyao had a great impression of Grand Princess Yi De, so when she was asked to copy the Buddhist scriptures, no matter what the reason was, her heart filled with respect.

The moment she returned to her room, she saw a flower vase placed on the table. The vase was slender and long. At the mouth of the vase, there were two blooming Hibiscus Mutabilis.

When Si Shu saw her expression, she felt more guilty and said in a low voice, “Miss, these two Hibiscus Mutabilis flowers were also picked up by this servant.”

Mu Yunyao angered to the point of laughing, “I still lack a maid. Do you want to pick her up at the door as well?”

“Ah, doesn’t Miss have a servant by her side? There are Jin Lan and Jin Qiao. Are they not enough?”

“Isn’t this to find a new one to exchange for you?” Mu Yunyao glanced at her.

Si Shu hurriedly pleaded, her face turning pale. “Miss, this servant knows her wrongs. In the future, I will not randomly pick up anything. Please forgive this servant.”

Mu Yunyao looked at Hibiscus Mutabilis, which was on the table, and bit her lower lip. “Get up and prepare some hot water. I want to bathe myself. You wait until I finish copying the Buddhist scriptures, and I will settle accounts with you slowly.”

Si Shu turned bitter. “Yes, this servant will go right away.”

Mu Yunyao forced herself to look away from Hibiscus Mutabilis after the Si Shu left. She bit her lower lip and said, “Idiot.” It was unknown if she talked about the Si Shu or Yue Wang...

Mu Yunyao did her best to suppress her rising and falling thoughts. After bathing in the incense, she changed into a set of plain white clothes and used a jade-green hairpin to tie up her hair. Then, she headed to the main hall to worship the Buddha.

Su Qing was also worried about Mu Yunyao, so she let Si Shu and Si Hua follow her. She herself brought Si Qin and Si Qi to the prayer hall to continue kneeling.

The Baohua Temple was different from other Buddhist temples. It could borrow and copy the ancient manuscripts in the temple at will. Thus, a special place for copying scriptures has been opened up, which was the Scripture Pavilion where Mu Yunyao is now.

It was too quiet at night in the Scripture Pavilion. As soon as Mu Yunyao walked in, she could smell the faint scent of ink. The books and records were neatly placed on the bookshelves, and a little novice monk was standing by to sort them out.

“Amitabha, does female benefactor want to copy a scripture?” Little novice monk looked to be about seven or eight years old and was about the same age as Nan’er. Her appearance was round and adorable, and his movements were especially earnest.

Mu Yunyao clasped her hands together in return. “Yes, I want to copy out two scrolls of the original Bodhisattva wishes, and I hope that Little Master can help me find them.”

“Yes, please come with me.”

Very soon, the little novice monk took out the Buddhist scriptures from the cloth bag, “Please treasure the Buddhist scriptures, Miss. After you have finished copying the Buddhist scriptures, put manuscripts on the table. The manuscripts can be taken away with you. This humble monk will not bother you anymore.”

“Thank you, Little Master.”

Si Shu and Si Hua helped to lay the paper and grind the ink. Mu Yunyao looked at the flickering candle flame, and her eyes gradually calmed down. “I’ll do it myself.” Since she wanted to copy it, she might as well do it with all her heart. Hopefully, Grand Princess Yi De could find her lost daughter as soon as possible.

The night was quiet, and the sounds of the insects were notably clear.

Mu Yunyao kneeled on the ground with her back straight. Her body was upright, and her white wrists were slightly suspended. The tip of her pen was slightly moved, and one by one, the charming small letters jumped onto a piece of paper.

Yue Wang leaned on the entrance of the Scripture Pavilion and gestured at Si Shu and Si Hua to keep quiet. His gentle gaze gently fell on Mu Yunyao’s body as a concentrated and fiery light seemed to revolve in his eyes.

Mu Yunyao finished copying a Buddhist scripture. As she was changing the paper, her gaze inadvertently drifted towards the door, and she suddenly saw Yue Wang standing there. She didn’t know how long he looked at her, “His Royal Highness Yue Wang, when did you get here?”

Yue Wang walked in and looked at the Buddhist scriptures on the table. His eyes flashed with a touch of distress. “Don’t be in such a hurry. Just finish copying it before we leave Baohua Temple.”

Earlier, she had already copied down twenty scrolls of Buddhist scriptures, day and night. Because he was worried that she wouldn’t be able to hold kneeling on any longer, he secretly opened his mouth to speak to his Imperial Aunt. He had no idea that she was so anxious that she would come all night to do so.

“Wouldn’t it have been better to send the Buddhist scripture to Grand Princess Yide earlier?”

Yue Wang felt a little helpless. He should have thought of this earlier. Yunyao’s character was always stubborn, and she unwilling to show any weakness in front of others.

Si Shu and Si Hua had already retreated, and the little novice monk who had been standing guard had also disappeared. At this moment, there were only her and Yue Wang in the room. Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.

However, Yue Wang didn’t seem to notice her uneasiness as he slowly walked up to the table and sat down. He looked at the Buddhist scripture Mu Yunyao had copied, and his heart was full of appreciation.

Yunyao is very powerful. She could not only imitate his broad open, and strong calligraphy, but she could also control his elegant, reserved, and introverted style. Just like her, she looks gentle and harmless, delicate and beautiful as a flower in the bud that was about to bloom. But once she was angered, she could also show her strength and kill people on sight.

~ YUE WANG’S UNREQUITED LOVE ~ 

Yue Wang returned to the room with a cold expression on his face.

The Grand Princess Yi De smiled as she looked over, then said softly, “What’s going on? It seems as though you’ve suffered some sort of blow.” Jin Wang’s few words of ridicule shouldn’t have made him show such an expression.

Yue Wang shook his head slightly. “Nothing much. There are just some things that I haven’t figured out yet.” As he said that, his gaze fell onto the Daffodils near the window sill. Although the Daffodils had not bloomed yet, the fat leaves were still so beautiful. Why didn’t Yunyao like it?

“Thinking about Mu Yunyao?”

Yue Wang paused before nodding slightly. “Imperial Aunt, do you like the Daffodils or Hibiscus?”

The Grand Princess Yi De slightly raised her eyebrow, then suddenly laughed. “I’m actually a little curious about that Mu Yunyao. She told you that she likes Hibiscus?”

Yue Wang nodded his head and discussed Mu Yunyao with the Grand Princess. In his heart, there was an unspeakable nervousness and distress: “En.”

“I really didn’t expect that you, Jun Yue, would actually be a one-sided love.”

Yue Wang’s body stiffened as he carefully recalled the situation between him and Mu Yunyao. However, he was unwilling to admit it. Back then, in the letter, Steward Qin had said that Yunyao was fond of him ... Although Yunyao did not personally admit it, he still believed it to be true and believes it deeply.

The Grand Princess’s smile grew wider as she looked at the troubled expression on Yue Wang’s face. A hint of emotion flashed across her eyes, “Do you know that Hibiscus has another name?”

“Another name?”

“Yes, Hibiscus is fond of cold weather, also known as frost repellent flower, frost repellent, double repellent... Is the meaning not obvious enough?”

Yue Wang was startled, a look of disappointment flashed across his face, but he quickly steeled his heart: “Imperial Aunt, I’ll go find some Hibiscus. If you wish to go to the prayer hall of Baohua later on, let Qu Mama follow you and bring along the bodyguards. Many people have heard that you’ve come to Baohua temple. Don’t be collided by those who are not polite.”

“Go ahead.”

When Yue Wang had retreated, Grand Princess Yi De’s gaze couldn’t help but fall upon the Daffodils. Qu Mama hurriedly brought the daffodils over and placed them in Grand Princess Yi De’s hand. “This old servant looks at Young Master’s expression and seems to like that Miss Mu Yunyao very much?”

The Grand Princess Yi De stretched out her hand and pulled a daffodil leaf. “How did you know?”

“Although I’ve only met Miss Mu Yunyao twice, this servant discovered that she and the Grand Princess really share some similarities. This old servant referred not only to her appearance and features but also her manner of speech and actions. There was a little bit of the shadow of the Grand Princess when she was young.”

The Grand Princess Yi De’s finger stopped, and she suddenly loosened her hand that was holding onto the Daffodils’s leaf. The leaf slightly swayed back, as if it was a ripple that was stirred up instantly in her heart: “If my child was still alive, she would probably be married and have children now too... In the end, I did not have the luck of the Su family after all, and the daughter who has been lost for so many years can be retrieved...”

The Grand Princess Yi De sighed. She also liked seeing Mu Yunyao. Although she hadn’t said much, she still felt that she was particularly pleasing to the eye. She had even specifically looked at the evidence that the Emperor had sent people to investigate. Su Qing and the Su family’s relationship was real, and the evidence was plentiful. If not, she suspects that Mu Yunyao has a relationship with her.

Qu Mama hurriedly slapped her own mouth. “It’s all my fault for speaking too much and making Your Highness sad.”

The Grand Princess Yi De returned to her senses, looked at Qu Mama, and said, “Alright, we have been master and servant for dozens of years. How can I be angry with you for saying those words? The frost repellent flower,... Now that I think about it, it really does feel like a lifetime ago.”

Qu Mama couldn’t help but laugh, “The Grand Princess must have thought of when you were young, right? At that time, you were the late emperor’s most beloved princess, peerlessly beautiful and magnificent. I wonder how many influential and powerful young masters of various families wanted to marry you back then. Among them, Lord Xu was the most infatuated. “

The Grand Princess Yi De also laughed, her smile full of nostalgia. “That’s right. At that time, I was still in the prime of my life. Although Xu Yan was extremely talented, there was a huge disparity between our statuses. I didn’t want to hurt his heart, so I sent Hibiscus to tactfully reject him. Who would’ve known that idiot clearly understood, yet, he pretended to not understand. He event went to find Double Lotus and sent it to the entrance of the palace every day. Even the late emperor was alarmed, and countless people came over to watch the show.”

“However, Lord Xu became Prince Consort in the end, so it must be because of this deep emotion that moved you.”

Recalled those sunny days, Grand Princess Yide’s eyes were bright: “At that time, I only felt that he was foolish, but later on, I don’t know when, but I felt that this idiocy entered my heart, and it lasted for so many years.” Even if the yin and yang are separated, I never forget each other...

Only after a long time did Grand Princess Yi De withdraw her thoughts from her past memories, and a faint glimmer of water appeared in her eyes, “I’m not tired of my youth, I’ve seen Zhu Mingyi. I sighed with regret, and the stars were gray hair.* I was old, and when I thought back about the past, I feel so far away. I only hope that a years ago, I can receive some news from my daughter.

This way, when I meet her in the underworld, I’ll have an explanation....”

“The Heavens will definitely show mercy to the Grand Princess, allowing you to get what you want as soon as possible.” The Grand Princess and Prince Xu had fallen in love with each other, and no one didn’t know about this. Later on, Prince Consort dies to protect the Grand Princess. This would forever be the knot in the Grand Princess’s heart and was firmly locked in the agony of those days.

The Grand Princess Yi De gently caressed the Buddhist scriptures on the table. After pausing for a while to calm herself, she said, “I feel much more calm after reading the scriptures copied by Mu Yunya. Go and pass along a message for her to help me copy another two scrolls of of the original Bodhisattva wishes.”

Qu Mama hurriedly replied, “Yes, this old servant will go now.” It seems that the Grand Princess wants to praise this Miss Mu Yunyao on account of Yue Wang.

As soon as the afternoon’s kneeling session ended, Mu Yunyao saw Qu Mama standing outside the prayer hall.

Su Yuyi, who was at the side, had already stepped forward and bowed. As she spoke, her face was pale, and her body was swaying. “Greeting, Qu Mama.”

Qu Mama quickly evaded. She didn’t accept the etiquette and then said with a slight smile, “Greetings, Miss Su. I’m here to look for Miss Mu to pass on the Grand Princess’s words.”

Mu Yunyao’s heart stirred as she hurriedly stepped forward, “Greetings to Qu Mama. I wonder what orders the Grand Princess has for me.”

“His Royal Highness Grand Princess has occasionally seen scriptures copied by Miss Mu, and she really likes them. I would like to trouble Miss Mu to copy two scrolls of the original Bodhisattva wishes.”

Mu Yunyao hurriedly answered, “Yes.”

Qu Mama smiled again. “His Royal Highness Grand Princess will be leaving Baohua Temple in two days, so I’ll have to trouble Miss Mu to hurry.”

“Yes, please send a message to the Grand Princess. This humble daughter will copy it as soon as possible and deliver it to the Grand Princess.”

“Alright, then this servant will take to leave.”

“I’ll send you off.”
