Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 338

~ THE SU FAMILY IS ON THE VERGE OF DISASTER ~ 

Yue Wang’s eyes suddenly lit up as the bright and beautiful rays of light instantly poured down onto Mu Yunyao’s body like sunlight. “I really like your incense stick before.” Mu Yunyao’s body no longer had the resistance and estrangement from before, so when he faintly spoke those intimate words, it made the beating heart in Yue Wang’s chest speed up even more.

Mu Yunyao nodded and quipped slyly, “Fourth Master, if you like it, I can get someone to send you some in the future so that you can have Yu Heng burn some on your clothes.”

Yue Wang originally wanted to refuse, but after seeing Mu Yunyao’s appearance, he couldn’t bear to open his mouth.

Seeing this, Mu Yunyao did not continue to joke, “There are no major injuries on Fourth Master’s body. Just change the dressing and recuperate properly in the future. I have finished copying the Buddhist scriptures and am preparing to pack up my things. I will return to the Su family residence tomorrow.”

When Mu Yunyao mentioned the Su family, the warm atmosphere in the room immediately dissipated.

A great disappointment flashed in Yue Wang’s heart, but business matters now more important. As long as Yunyao was willing to get close to him, they would have plenty of time to get along with each other in the future. “The Su family is in a tight line now. I’m afraid the Su family just waiting for you to go back and be punished.”

Mu Yunyao nodded her head, “En, Su Yuyi hates my guts to the bone. The Old Madam has always been a bystander. The one charging in is the Eldest Madam, and her methods cannot be underestimated.”

“Have you thought of a way to deal with it?”

“Before we came to Baohua Temple, there was a farce in front of the Su family’s residence. Old Wang Mama and Old Liu Mama, who were punished by me, both passed away at the same time, and their families came all the way to the front of the Su family’s residence.”

“Yes, I heard that you paid them 100 taels of silver each?”

“That’s right, Old Liu Mama’s son was still better off, and he was rather honest. However, Old Wang Mama’s son is a complete ruffian, so I sent people to take back the one hundred taels of silver. These few days, I kept sending people to beat him up, warning him not to speak carelessly. In addition he is in a rather difficult situation right now because he’s being forced to come by gambling debts.”

Yue Wang’s eyes moved: You want to use him to create some trouble for the Su family?

“The Su family views me as an enemy and has repeatedly attacked and harmed me. I naturally have to publicize the Su family’s great achievements properly. At this time, it should be time for Old Wang Mama’s son to make a ruckus in Shun Tian Manor.”

“Shun Tian Manor? Shun Tian’s Prefecture Commander, Shen Bingshu, was a righteous and upright man. Because he was born in a poor family, he has never been afraid of powerful people. He even dared to challenge Imperial Father once and assisted investigated the case of Huai’an Wang’s corruption, and he’s always been a busybody. Regardless of whether the big or small cases, he’s always liked to look into it personally. He has been sick several times, and Imperial Father was helpless to do anything about it. If you put the matter in front of him, it will be enough for the Su Family to have a headache for a while.”

“This is the first method. I’ve prepared a few other methods as well, and all I need to do is to wait for the Eldest Madam to be able to hold on....” The sweet bait had already been thrown out. Once the Eldest Madam bites the hook, she won’t be able to struggle free anymore.

“If you need my help, get someone to send a letter over at any time.” Although Yunyao seemed to have a complete plan in her mind, just in case, he also needs to make secret preparations so that he could help out at any time.

“Oh right, my mother has always been thinking about Fourth Master’s injuries. After hearing that we have to leave Baohua Temple tomorrow, she insisted on meeting and thanking you. I wonder if Fourth Master has time?”

Yue Wang, who had just relaxed, suddenly became nervous again: “Madam Su wants to see me? She still doesn’t know who I am. Would she think that I’m deliberately lying to her?”

“I don’t know about that. There are still a few things to pack in the room. I’ll go back first and come back to say goodbye to Fourth Master in the morning.”

After Mu Yunyao left, Yue Wang was somewhat anxious. After thinking for a while, he called Yu Heng in, “Madam Su wants to see me tomorrow, but I’ve concealed my identity before. Do you think Madam Su will blame me?”

Yu Heng thought for a moment and couldn’t help scratching his head. “Your Highness, Madam Su should be happier after knowing your identity, right?” The prince’s status was also very high. With him around, it would be much easier for Miss Mu to deal with the Su family.

Yue Wang looked at Yu Heng coldly and felt that it would be better to throw him back to Western Guangdong. “Write to inform Chief Steward Qin and have him come back to the Capital. Since I am not planning to return to Western Guangdong, then the Palace should be managed properly.”

“Yes, your subordinate will go now.”

In the Capital, Su Wenyuan had just returned from the Ministry of Public Affairs when he heard Shuntian’s Prefecture Commander, Shen Bingshu, came to visit him. He quickly ordered some people to lead him to the parlor and serve him good tea.

According to the rank of the officials, Shen Bingshu was one level lower than him, but Shun Tian Manor had a general view of the Capital’s affairs and has always had special status. Although he was a third rank official, he was no different from a proper official. Shen Bingshu also had always had a righteous personality, so no one was willing to provoke him.

Su Wenyuan walked out. When Shen Bingshu saw that, he stepped forward and greeted him: “Greetings, Lord Su.”

“Lord Shen, there is no need for you to be so courteous. May I know what business you have here?”

“Today, I accepted a case and the words involved Lord Su’s residence. So, I specifically came here to inquire a bit, and if there were any offenses, please forgive me, Lord Su.”

“The case involving my family?” Su Wenyuan frowned as his thoughts raced, “I don’t know what kind of case this is, and bother Lord Shen to make a special trip?”

“A man named Wang Zhu came to Shun Tian Manor to report the case. He claimed that someone had killed his mother, stole his money, and threatened his life.”

“I’ve never heard of this person. What does this have to do with my Su family?”

“You might not have heard of this Wang Zhu, but his mother was once a servant of the Su family. She was punished ten times by the stick before and then expelled from the Su family. Nine days later, she suddenly died.”

Su Wenyuan’s face remained unchanged: “I remember what Lord Shen said. He did make such a fuss. A few days ago, Wang Zhu went to the front of the Su family’s residence and wailed, saying that he did not have money for his mother’s funeral. My wife even got someone to give him a hundred taels of silver. At that time, he happily took the silver and left. Why is he reporting the Su family at the Shun Tian Manor now? Could it be that he is insatiably greedy and think that his money is too little?”

“One hundred taels of silver is not a small sum, and ordinary people would already be able to do dozens of business. Why would the Su family give so much silver?”

“At that time, I was not in the house. When I returned, I heard that it was my niece who comes forward to solve the problem. It was she who ordered to beat them and drive them out of the residence. Perhaps she suddenly heard that they died and felt bad, so she gave each of them a hundred silver taels to let them carry out the funeral.

“Of course. However, I have asked a few commoners. It is said that Miss Mu wanted to invite the doctor to investigate the specific cause of the death of Wang Mama and Liu Mama. It was your wife who stopped them from doing so. After that, Miss Mu had someone to take out two hundred silver taels and split it between two families.”

“People are not allowed to pass in front of the Su family’s residence. How can they know what is going on when they see it from a distance. It’s just a matter of fact. Lord Shen has been in charge of Shun Tian for so many years, so you should understand that what you hear from the hearsay is not evidence.” Su Wenyuan’s facial expression calm and definitely did not take Shen Bingshu’s words to heart at all.

“Indeed, but I have something here. I wonder if Lord Su has any impression of it?” As Shen Bingshu spoke, he took out a small plate from his sleeve with the words “Su Family” carved on it.

~ SERIOUS NONSENSE ~ 

Inside the Su family residence, everything seemed normal, but the atmosphere was getting tenser and tenser. The atmosphere filled with a feeling like a storm was brewing, and the servants were all holding their breath as they walked more lightly.

A fire broke out in Baohua Temple, and the Emperor was worried about the safety of Grand Princess Yi De. He sent guards to the mountain to escort the Grand Princess Yi Devback to the Palace.

As a result, the news could no longer be concealed. Many young ladies of the official family came to Baohua Temple in the name of praying for blessings, hoping to meet the Grand Princess Yi De. Even if they didn’t, they could use the name of praying for the blessing to show their filial piety.

Qu Mama put down the teacup in her hands and softly reported to Grand Princess Yi De, “Mistress, Miss Mu has come. She said that she has already copied down the Buddhist scriptures.”

The Grand Princess Yi De picked up her teacup and took a sip. “Now that the news of me being on the mountain has spread. It’s best not to cause trouble for Mu Yunyao at this time. Go and receive the Buddhist scripture, and I won’t see her.”

“Yes.”

Mu Yunyao held the Buddhist scripture in both hands as she stood at the entrance of the courtyard. When she saw Qu Mama walked out, she slightly bent her knees and greeted, “Greetings, Qu Mama.”

“Miss Mu is too polite. The Grand Princess asked this servant to send a message saying that she would like to thank Miss for helping to copy the Buddhist scriptures.”

“The Grand Princess is too polite. Yunyao really doesn’t dare to accept it.”

Qu Mama took the Buddhist scriptures and bowed. “Take care and go slowly, Miss Mu.”

Mu Yunyao nodded in return before turning to leave. She was not thinking of entering the eyes of the Grand Princess Yi De, so she was not disappointed when she could not see anyone.

When Qu Mama saw her clean and crisp figure, she couldn’t help but be slightly surprised. She returned to Grand Princess Yi De and explained the matter to her.

Grand Princess Yi De picked up a scroll of Buddhist scriptures and started reading it carefully. “Everyone has sharpened their head and wants to come to me, but she is an exception. It is also surprisingly interesting. How is it going with Jun Yue?”

“His Royal Highness Yue Wang’s spirit is still good. Your servant asked the imperial physician and said that Miss Mu had given His Royal Highness an notably good medicine. I believe he’ll recover a few days earlier than expected.”

The Grand Princess Yi De paused as she flipped through the Buddhist scriptures. “That’s good.”

Inside the room, Yue Wang was pacing back and forth in his room, occasionally glancing towards the door from time to time.

Yu Heng stood at the side with his head lowered. Seeing his master like this, he couldn’t help but say, “Your Highness, Miss Mu has gone to deliver the Buddhist scriptures to Grand Princess Yi De, and she will be here soon. You have some wounds on your back, so sit down and rest for a while.” He can’t believe that the prince, who has always been quiet and indifferent, actually there were times when he was so concerned about others.

Yue Wang’s footsteps paused as he sat on a chair to the side and sized up Yu Heng with a cold gaze: “For the past year, Yu Yi has been running back and forth between Western Guangdong and Jingling City. I have always felt that I have treated him poorly, so I should allow him to rest in the Capital. I’ll leave it to you to pass the message back and forth. How about that?”

Yu Heng’s expression turned bitter as he silently cursed himself in his heart: “Master, Yu Yi isn’t as smart as your subordinate. You definitely won’t be used to using him.”

“He....” Just as Yue Wang was about to say something, he saw a servant come in from the entrance to report to him.

“His Royal Highness... Miss Mu is here.”

Yu Heng immediately ran outside, secretly grateful to Mu Yunyao. If she had been any later, he would have been reduced to Yu Yi’s pigeon, “Greetings, Miss Mu. His Royal Highness is waiting for you in his room.”

“Thank you.”

Mu Yunyao walked into the room. When she saw Yue Wang, she couldn’t help but blink and curtsy down with a smile. “Greetings, Fourth Master.”

Seeing her expression, it was unknown why Yue Wang’s face heated up: “There’s no need to be so courteous. I heard Yu Heng say that you went to deliver the Buddhist scriptures to Imperial Aunt. How did you come over so quickly?”

Hearing this, Mu Yunyao’s smile deepened. “The Fourth Master is particularly well-informed with the news. The Grand Princess Yi De didn’t see me, so I directly came over.”

Yue Wang raised his hand, clenched his fist, put it on his lips, and coughed twice. He did his best to suppress the uneasiness in his heart and silently noted it down for Yu Heng. If it wasn’t for him reminding him just now, he wouldn’t have exposed his intention to keep an eye on Mu Yunyao at all times, “Imperial Father sent someone to the Baohua Temple to take Imperial Aunt back to the Imperial Palace. Therefore, many young ladies of the Capital came here together with them. It’s good for you that Imperial Aunt doesn’t see you here.”

“I know. Today, I’ve been summoned by the Grand Princess Yi De, and I’ll become the target of public criticism tomorrow.” Mu Yunyao stood up and walked over to Yue Wang’s side. “Let me help Fourth Master take a look at the wounds in your back.”

As Mu Yunyao approached, a faint fragrance wafted in the air, causing the heat in Yue Wang’s heart to intensify.

Mu Yunyao did not notice the change in Yue Wang’s expression. She slightly pulled down his clothes and looked at the wound on his back. Compared to yesterday, the color of the wound had become darker, and some of the tiny blisters had disappeared, much better than they had been yesterday. “The wound is recovering well, and I’ll change the medicine for you.

If Fourth Master rests for a while, it should be fine.”

Yue Wang’s attention was completely focused on the fragrance at the tip of his nose, so he did not notice what she had said.

Seeing this, Mu Yunyao called out again, “What is Fourth Master thinking?”

Yue Wang’s face was expressionless, but the expression in his eyes wavered slightly, just like the river under the sun. The light on his face flickered, “I am thinking about what incense you have burned?”

As soon as the words left his mouth, he couldn’t wait to cut off his own tongue. How could he unknowingly ask the question that was on his mind?

Mu Yunyao was also slightly stunned for a moment before hurriedly retreating half a step. She was a bit further away from him. Originally, she felt very uneasy, but when she saw a cold but full of red appearance on Yue Wang’s face, she didn’t know why, but she suddenly laughed.

Previously, Mu Yunyao had always thought Yue Wang had a cold personality and a cold aura surrounding him. In addition to the two unpleasant meetings in his previous life, Mu Yunyao always thought Yue Wang was difficult to get along with. When she saw his reddened face and thought about the various thoughts he had, Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but felt that he is extremely adorable.

Hearing Mu Yunyao’s chuckle, Yue Wang’s expression became even tenser. Once again, he couldn’t help but shake his hand into a fist, which he placed under his lips as he coughed twice. “I didn’t feel it before, but today I realize that I seem to have suffered some internal injuries, and my spirit is often in a trance. That was why he was spouting nonsense.

Seeing him speak so earnestly, the uneasiness in Mu Yunyao’s heart actually dissipated. She slowly walked to the stool next to Yue Wang and sat down, lifting her sleeves to smell slightly, “In the past few days, I’ve been praying in the Baohua Temple. In order to show her piety, she bathes and changes clothes every day. Naturally, I haven’t burned incense. Did Fourth Master smell the fragrance on me?”

In Yue Wang’s heart, he wrote Yu Heng’s name once again. It was all because of his nonsense before that caused his emotions to be thrown into disarray, to the point that he was at a loss when facing Yunyao, “There are some....” The moment the two words left his mouth, Yue Wang’s expression became even more embarrassed.

“I know how to mix some spices. What flavor does Fourth Master like?”

“What I like? Could you make incense whatever I like?”

Mu Yunyao slightly tilted her head and blinked. The smile in her eyes became even stronger. “If Fourth Master doesn’t want this offer, then so be it....”

~ MU YUNYAO CAN’T STAY ~ 

The Eldest Madam clenched her teeth and suddenly slammed her palm on the table. “Mu Yunyao seduced Qingwu?”

“Yes. Mother, you should think about it more carefully. Previously, Elder Brother had helped her speak up for her several times. At that time, I felt that something was wrong. However, I didn’t think about it too much. Now the truth has been revealed. If it wasn’t for that vixen Mu Yunyao seducing Elder Brother, why would Elder Brother support her many times? Especially this time, She…she broke my arm, but Elder Brother kept scolding me and had no intention of avenging me!”

“Mu Yunyao, you really have the guts!”

Su Yuyi’s tears fell even more, “Mother, could it be that my arm has some kind of disability? The Imperial Family wouldn’t want a disabled daughter-in-law, so you have to save me...”

The Eldest Madam suddenly came back to her senses and looked sharply at the maid at her side. “What are you all standing there for? Why aren’t you going to help the Eldest Miss find a doctor?”

“Yes, this servant will go now.”

The Eldest Madam helped Su Yuyi up and settled her down, “Don’t worry. Mother has already sent someone to get a doctor, so you will definitely be safe and sound. As for that Mu Yunyao, you can rest assured that the moment she returns to the residence, it will be the day of her death!”

Su Yuyi smiled, and the hatred in her heart had calmed down a little: “Mother, that Mu Yunyao is Grandmother’s granddaughter too, can she agree?”

“I have my own ways. First, you should lie down and rest. Mother will go see your Elder Brother.”

Su Yuyi snorted and added fuel to the fire: “Mother should go take a look. I’m afraid that even now, Elder Brother is still helping Mu Yunyao!”

As soon as Su Qingwu finished changing his clothes, he heard the attendant say that the Eldest Madam had arrived. He rose to his feet and walked out to greet his mother. “Greetings, Mother.”

The Eldest Madam walked into the room and sat down. Then, her gaze landed on Su Qingwu, and with a sense of scrutiny in her eyes, she said, “Qingwu, your younger sister is injured. Did you know that it was Mu Yunyao who did it?”

“I know.”

“Since you know, why didn’t you help your sister take revenge?”

“Mother, I don’t know what Yuyi said to you, but now is definitely not the time to touch Mu Yunyao.”

The Eldest Madam suddenly grabbed the teacup on the table, then slammed it down next to Su Qingwu’s feet. “Kneel down!”

Su Qingwu’s forehead creased. He didn’t even spare a glance at the porcelain shard as he directly knelt on the ground, and instantly, there was blood spread on the ground.

The Eldest Madam’s expression didn’t change in the slightest. She got up and walked in front of Su Qingwu, looking down at him condescendingly. “Tell Mother, do you like Mu Yunyao?”

“I don’t like her!”

“Qingwu, Mother has raised you for twenty years. Although Mother doesn’t say that you’re in control, you can roughly guess what your thoughts are. Tell me the truth, do you like Mu Yunyao or not?”

Faced with the Eldest Madam’s questioning, Su Qingwu’s face didn’t change in the slightest. “I don’t like her.”

The Eldest Madam sneered, “Alright, since you don’t like her, then Mother is planning to get rid of her. Do you have any ideas?”

Su Qingwu’s eyes suddenly trembled. “Mother, we can’t act rashly in this matter!”

“Heh, don’t tell me I can’t touch a country girl?”

“If Mu Yunyao is really an ordinary country bumpkin, not to mention one, even there are ten, and Mother wanted to kill her, Son wouldn’t say a single word. However, she wasn’t an ordinary person. Nowadays, the influence of Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo was growing stronger and stronger, especially in Jiangnan. Everyone was aware of Mu Yunyao’s reputation. When she left Jingling City to return to the Su family, the entire city sent her off. Even this Mid-Autumn Festival, the citizens did not forget to send her presents. Once she died in the Su family’s residence, it would cause a great disturbance. At that time...”

“Qingwu, you have such a big reaction, and you still say that you don’t like her?”

Su Qingwu raised her eyes. “Mother, I was just discussing the matter. Yuyi was wronged, but she was the one who caused the fire at Baohua Temple. Aunt Su Qing almost burned to death in the room at that time...”

“Shut up! Your sister has a kind and pure personality, so she would not do such a thing?!” The more Su Qingwu spoke, the angrier the Eldest Madam became.

Su Qingwu frowned, not knowing what to say to make the Eldest Madam understand, “Mother, there are many people who are watching Mu Yunyao, not just our Su family, but the First Prince and Third Prince are also paying attention to her. If we really attack Mu Yunyao, there might be people who will step in to save her. With get Mu Yunyao’s loyalty, it would be equivalent to obtaining Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo. With get Mu Yunyao’s loyalty, it would be equivalent to obtaining Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo. Currently, the few princes are trying to interfere in Jiangnan. However, they not being able to do anything about it, so they will definitely not let go of this opportunity to rope her in.”

“Isn’t it just a few work shop and teahouses? How could they enter the princes’s eyes?”

“Up until now, there are already more than ten shops in Ni Yun Fang. But Bu Xian Luo, it’s not much worse than Ni Yun Fang. The tea leaves that are collected and distributed in different places are still notably popular. More importantly, Mu Yunyao has an extremely high reputation amongst the citizens of Jiangnan. The embroidery needlework that she spread has made countless people benefit from it...”

“Alright!” The Eldest Madam didn’t have the patience to listen to what Su Qingwu had to say. She didn’t want to believe that a dignified lady like her would be unable to handle a girl from the countryside, “Even if she’s valued, she’ll still be punished if she does something wrong. She broke Yu Yi’s arm. This account can’t be easily wiped off!”

If she couldn’t make a move on Mu Yunyao openly, couldn’t she still move in secret? In the many courtyards of the Capital’s various residences, how many people will not die? What she did not lack were methods that could make one wish they were dead!

“Mother....”

“Senior apprentice-sister, senior apprentice-sister …” Su Qingwu wanted to persuade again, but the Eldest Madam didn’t have the slightest bit of patience at all.

“QingWu, you are the eldest son of the Su family and have a bright future. In the future, the entire Su family will be in your hands, do not do anything that would ruin your own future. Otherwise, you don’t need Mother’s hand, but your father will get rid of Mu Yunyao first!” The Eldest Madam’s tone was cold, and her eyes were full of warnings.

Su Qingwu slowly lowered his gaze, only feeling a cold chill in his heart.

“Get up. When the doctor is done with your sister’s injuries, he will come and help you with your diagnosis and treatment. The Autumn Hunt is coming soon, and Among the young talents of previous years, you have always come out on top. Don’t let any accidents happen this year!”

Su Qingwu knelt on the ground, not responding.

The Eldest Madam, however, did not mind at all and left towards the door. After exiting the courtyard, her expression became even gloomier. Mu Yunyao could not stay, definitely can’t stay!

As soon as Su Yuyi entered the residence, she made such a ruckus. Naturally, the news soon spread to the Old Madam. Wen Mama stood at the side with her head lowered, not daring to make a sound. The only sound left in the room was the sound of the Old Madam twisting her Buddhist beads.

After a long time, the Old Madam Sun finally spoke: “Mu Yunyao …. I had really underestimated her. A little girl, she actually dared to challenge the Su family! Wen Mama, you have served by my side for dozens of years. What do you think I should do now?”

“Although I have served Madam for many years, my mind has never improved. I do not dare to speak nonsense.”

The Old Madam’s cheeks twitched, and her hand that twirling the Buddhist beads stopped. “Send someone to get a doctor, tell him that I have a headache and am unable to get up from my bed for the next two days. Don’t spread what has happened in residence to me. The noise is plain and annoying.”

“Yes, Madam.” When the Eldest Madam in the East Courtyard heard this news, her lips lifted into a smile. She pulled Su Yuyi’s hand and said: “Yuyi, from your grandmother’s point of view, she leave the affairs of the house to me. This time, no one can save Mu Yunyao!”

Chapter 29 (2/2)

“Can I have a little?”

After she asked, Liu Qianxiu turned his head to look at her.

She looked back at him, black pupils bright under faintly furrowed brows.

“This has a strong aftereffect,” Liu Qianxiu said evenly. Then, seeing the slight brightening in her face, he added, “Don’t drink too much.”

“Okay.” Her eyes lit up at once, and she nodded.

“Then I’ll drink it here.”

Mu Wan went to the kitchen and brought back a small cup. Sitting cross-legged on the cushion, she poured herself some. The waxberry wine was still red. As it flowed out, it made a clear, crisp sound and released a cool, fruity scent of alcohol.

After pouring the cup, Mu Wan lifted it and looked out beyond the temple. A crescent moon hung high in the sky, with thin clouds drifting past now and then. The moonlight was pure and cold, and the night sky was deep black and clean.

“So beautiful.” She took a sip. The wine was not strong. In fact, the sweetness nearly covered the alcohol. Only as she swallowed did she catch the faint taste of liquor.

Liu Qianxiu held a book in his hand. He glanced sideways at the night sky, the scent of waxberry wine floating in the air. When he looked back, Mu Wan was already on her second cup.

His lips pressed together slightly. Lowering his eyes, he watched Mu Wan. The cup touched her red lips, vivid against the white porcelain. Sensing his gaze, she looked back at him, pulled the cup away, licked a trace of wine from the corner of her mouth, and offered it toward him.

“It’s good. Want some?”

Her eyes shimmered with light. The fingers holding the white porcelain cup were long and fine.

Liu Qianxiu’s gaze fell on the wine inside. The clear red liquid reflected the light of the main hall, immaculate and unstained.

He shook his head.

“No need.”

Mu Wan drew back her hand and emptied the cup in one swallow. His eyes stayed on her face. As if savoring something playful, she puffed out her cheeks and let the sweetness of the waxberry wine linger all through her mouth. Only after tasting enough did she finally swallow.

After drinking, warmth slowly spread through her body. Staring at the distant moon, she poured herself another cup.

“My mother liked looking at the night sky.”

Her words were disjointed, as though alcohol had loosened buried memories, making the scenes in her mind overlap with the present.

Mu Wan’s life in the Mu family had not been entirely unhappy. Though she had always suffered their coldness, while her mother was alive, she had still lived in relative ease and comfort. Her mother had not been powerful, but she had been strong enough to protect her.

In the blink of an eye, it had been ten years since her mother’s death.

Ten years since she had become a weed growing wild with no father and no mother.

The corners of Mu Wan’s eyes turned cold. She drank the wine in her cup again.

No one protected her now.

But someone was with her.

Mu Wan’s cheeks had grown hot. She slumped onto the table and turned her head to stare at Liu Qianxiu beside her. He had stopped reading. Watching the flush deepen in her face, he set the book down on the table and said, “Go rest first.”

“No.” Her breath was warm when she spoke. She lifted a finger and shook it. “I’ll keep you company.”

Liu Qianxiu was not reading.

He was watching her.

Mu Wan set the porcelain cup down. The base struck the tabletop with a soft sound. Resting her cheek on the back of her hand, she tilted her head toward him, her watery eyes narrowed, her gaze keen.

“You can’t calm yourself anymore.”

“Mm.” Liu Qianxiu remained calm. Looking at her, he admitted it.

Mu Wan’s eyes stirred. Her lashes trembled. The memory finally tore through that thin sheet and came flooding back like a tide.

She remembered what Liu Qianxiu had said to her last night.

Both hands flat on the table, Mu Wan fixed her eyes on him, light flickering within them, and said, “Last night, you said the environment wouldn’t affect your state of mind.”

She pushed down lightly on the table and leaned toward him. The corners of her eyes were flushed, her pupils black, her voice low and husky.

“You said only people would affect your state of mind.”

The distance between them grew smaller and smaller. Liu Qianxiu lowered his gaze to her.

Mu Wan leaned farther in and caught hold of both his arms.

The moment she grabbed him, the aftereffect of the wine surged up. Her head went heavy, her feet light, and she toppled straight into his arms.

The clean scent of sandalwood thinned out the wine.

Resting against his chest, Mu Wan tipped her face up, lips trembling.

“Liu Qianxiu, who is that person?”

The woman in his arms was white as snow, soft-bodied, dark-haired.

Like a newly formed demon, she had come before his seat to question his Dao.

Innocent and heedless, she did not know danger or measure.

She clung to him, arms curling around his waist, her long fingers interlacing as she drew their bodies closer. Looking down, he could smell the wine on her. Looking up, she could smell the sandalwood on him.

“The third time,” the man said in a low voice.

His lips pressed tight. Liu Qianxiu reached for the wine jar.

The cool waxberry wine flowed into the porcelain cup with a clear sound. He lifted the cup and drank it in one swallow.

His throat moved. In the man’s cool, silent black eyes, some emotion seemed to begin stirring at last.

He set down the cup.

Then Liu Qianxiu placed both hands at the woman’s waist and lifted her, settling her directly in front of him.

Now the scent of alcohol on him had grown stronger, too. His dark eyes rested quietly on the woman in his arms. His voice was deep and hoarse, the tone long and drawn out.

“Did you really think I had no desire?”

Chapter 29 (1/2)

The entire Qingyuan Temple gave Mu Wan the impression of being clean, solid, plain, and orderly.

Its architecture could not be called delicate. If anything, it was somewhat rough, steeped in age. Yet that very roughness wrapped the whole temple in a cinematic texture.

The slanting sun broke through the thick clouds at the horizon, and several beams of light streamed in. The small room was washed bright, the air faintly scented with sandalwood.

Mu Wan smiled and followed Liu Qianxiu into the side hall.

The room was not large. The furniture and bed were all made of wood, a dark reddish-black timber polished smooth, with no sharp edges, carrying the heavy, settled depth of time.

Inside, there was only one bed, one low table, and two meditation cushions. A desk lamp sat on the low table. The signal on the mountain was bad, but phone calls were fine, and there was electricity.

“You rest first,” Liu Qianxiu said after setting down her suitcase. “I’m going to check on Qingchan.”

Then he turned and left, pulling the side hall door shut behind him.

Qingchan had just come back from calling Master. When he saw Liu Qianxiu, he asked, “Where’s Sister?”

“She’s resting,” Liu Qianxiu replied. Then he said to Qingchan, “Would it be all right if I shared your room for the next few days?”

“Of course.” Qingchan nodded readily. “I usually sleep with Master anyway. I don’t dare sleep alone.”

Master Xuan Qingzi normally slept in the main hall. The two rooms on either side of the side hall had been prepared for Liu Qianxiu and Qingchan. Since Liu Qianxiu was usually away, Qingchan never dared sleep in the side hall by himself and generally went to sleep with Master instead.

“Let’s go.” Liu Qianxiu took Qingchan with him to the room on the right side of the main hall.

Mu Wan had not actually done much that day besides climbing the mountain for an hour, which was not especially exhausting. Yet once she lay down on the bed and read for a while, her eyelids grew heavy, and she fell asleep.

As her consciousness blurred, she seemed to hear someone speaking again. The words felt wrapped in a layer of mist, too indistinct to make out. But the voice was low, familiar, and pleasant. Mu Wan quickly recognized it as Liu Qianxiu’s voice.

What exactly had he said to her last night?

That question was still on her mind when she woke up.

After thinking about it for a long time to no avail, she got up and stepped outside. She had not slept very long. It was not fully dark yet. Looking up, she could still catch sight of the crimson sun sinking beyond the corner of the temple’s main hall wall.

The moss on the ground was damp. Mu Wan walked to the incense burner in the center of the courtyard and looked toward the main hall. Inside, the man in a light teal Taoist robe sat with his head lowered, reading.

Sunlight poured in, casting a reddish-gold glow across his cold white skin. Seated before the low table, he seemed distant and solitary, black brows, black hair, clean-cut features—like an immortal from the heavens.

As if sensing her arrival, he lifted his eyes. His expression was light and clear, his voice like spring water.

“Hungry?”

Pulled back from her wandering thoughts, Mu Wan smiled, walked over, nodded, and said, “I’m hungry.”

The rear courtyard of the temple was smaller than the front. There were two rooms at the back, as old as the temple itself, built of rough blue brick still damp from the weather. One was the kitchen. The other was probably the washroom. In front of them stood an old well and a small vegetable patch.

The garden was not large, but it held quite a variety of vegetables. There was even a trellis supporting tender green cucumbers and long beans. A temple was, after all, a place of retreat and self-cultivation. Conditions were naturally simple. Being so removed from the secular world, it had to be self-sufficient.

Earlier, while Mu Wan rested, Qingchan had slept as well. By the time Liu Qianxiu finished making dinner, Qingchan had only just woken, rubbing his eyes as he ran over to find his junior brother. The moment he saw Liu Qianxiu, he wrapped himself around his leg and clung there.

A child was still a child. With his little topknot and his chubby face, hanging onto Liu Qianxiu’s leg like that, he looked indescribably adorable.

As she set the table, Mu Wan laughed and asked, “When your junior brother isn’t here, do you cling to your master like this too?”

Qingchan blinked open his sleepy tea-colored eyes—beautiful little eyes—and shook his head, saying softly, “No. Master’s legs are too short. Now that I’m bigger, I can’t hang on.”

Mu Wan glanced at Liu Qianxiu. At nearly six-foot-three, his legs were undeniably long enough for Qingchan to cling to for at least another couple of years.

Even in front of a child, Liu Qianxiu’s expression did not change much. After sitting down, he simply reminded Qingchan to eat on his own. The little boy listened obediently, holding his bowl and chopsticks and eating earnestly.

Under the soft light, one tall, one small, the pair somehow radiated a quiet warmth that was hard to put into words.

After dinner, Mu Wan received a call from Li Nan. The signal inside the temple was poor, so she stepped outside and sat on the stone bench beneath the pine tree. Li Nan sounded far less calm than he had in the past few days. There was even a trace of urgency in his voice.

“Have you gotten on someone’s bad side?” he asked. “The jobs we’d already settled last week all called me over the last two days to say your scenes had been cut. They paid the penalties, but your work was only booked through next week, and now none of the productions that are about to start will sign you. You’ve got no acting work lined up at all after this.”

What did that mean?

It meant her road ahead had been completely blocked.

Her pay rate was neither high nor low. Double penalty fees for a few projects were hardly a small amount. But for Mu Qing, it was next to nothing.

The point of all this was obvious: to force Mu Wan to go beg her. Mu Qing had straightened her spine by her own efforts. Mu Qing was determined to break it.

Shadows pooled around her, and Mu Wan felt her mood sour.

This was a private grudge. There was nothing Mu Wan could really say to Li Nan. And even if she did, it would not help. If the company realized she had run into someone this troublesome, it was entirely possible they would give up on her instead.

Next week is her mother’s death anniversary.

At that thought, Mu Wan lifted her eyes toward the window.

It was six in the evening. The summer sun still hung high, though no longer with the harsh blaze of noon. Looking at that gentler light, Mu Wan pressed her lips together.

The tenth anniversary of her mother’s death.

Also, the tenth year since she had become truly fatherless and motherless.

Liu Qianxiu stood in the doorway watching her, his gaze lowered.

Only after she had smoothed the gloom out of her expression and lowered her head again to play her game did he push the door open and walk inside.

Mu Wan turned at the sound. Something in her eyes jumped. She set down her phone and looked at him.

“You’re done?”

“Mm.”

Liu Qianxiu came in, set down the papers in his hand, and shrugged off his white coat. Without it, the fitted clothes underneath made him look even more striking than the sunset outside—lean, cool, and painfully bright.

Mu Wan stared without meaning to. By the time Liu Qianxiu came to stand in front of her, she had only just pulled herself back together.

She rose from her chair.

“We need to take the cats to my friend’s place first,” Liu Qianxiu said. “I have surgery tomorrow, so I won’t have time to go then.”

“The same friend as last time?” Mu Wan thought of Xu Xingkong—that gentle woman who felt like lavender and soft wind.

“Mm.”

“Do you have another strawberry milk?”

Mu Wan asked.

Liu Qianxiu did not answer.

He simply went to the office drawer, took out another carton, and handed it to her.

“Don’t drink too much on an empty stomach.”

She shook the pink carton lightly. The sweet milky liquid bumped softly against the sides, and Mu Wan smiled.

“It’s not for me.”

She wanted to give it to Xu Xingkong.

Last time, Xu Xingkong had given her a plum—sweet enough to leave a memory.

They went home first to collect the cats.

Used to the car by now, the three little ones and Zhouyi were all quite calm inside the carriers. Only Dàtóu, the chatterbox, kept meowing the whole way.

By the time they reached the South District, the roads had opened up, and the car quickly sped onto the coastal highway.

The line of the sea had been painted gold by the setting sun. The car window was cracked open just a little, and a gust of sea wind rushed in—salty, damp, and cool, driving away the summer heat.

No wonder everyone bought homes by the sea. The air was fresh, yes, but the evening view alone was worth it. The horizon swallowed half the sun, the rippling sea curled with golden light, and wave after wave folded over one another like night-blooming flowers opening all at once.

Mu Wan sat in the passenger seat, looking past Liu Qianxiu toward the sea.

The sunset was gold.

The side of his face was gold, too.

His smooth forehead, high brow bone, elegant nose bridge, straight nose, and the faint line of his lips.

From her angle, the outline of his profile looked like a beautiful paper-cut pasted onto a sky drenched in evening glow, almost holy in its unreachability.

“Do you want to stop and look?”

The sunset was particularly beautiful tonight. Liu Qianxiu had clearly noticed her gaze fixed on the window and asked lightly.

The moment he said it, Mu Wan was tempted.

Even if they stopped now, they would only catch the very last of the sun disappearing. If they dropped the cats off first and came back later, the sun would be long gone.

“Okay.” Mu Wan agreed with a smile.

Liu Qianxiu pulled the car into an open lot by the shoreline.

He was obviously not unfamiliar with the place. After parking, the two of them got out and walked toward the water.

Mu Wan was not exactly someone who adored the sea.

She had grown up in Xiacheng. Her mother had brought her to the coast when she was little, and school excursions had brought her here plenty of times, too.

But she had never seen the sea like this.

The slanting sun sank into the water. Waves rolled one after another, all burnished in red-gold light. The wind lifted the hem of her skirt. Barefoot on the beach, she let the tide rush up around her ankles—cool and gentle—and the sand slipped away between her toes.

Her mood that morning had not been good.

But after seeing Liu Qianxiu in the afternoon, it had only grown brighter and brighter.

He said she could go to Qingyuan Temple.

He handed her strawberry milk.

He had brought her here now to watch the sunset.

Anything he did for her could make flowers bloom in her heart.

He was the source of all her happiness.

The man walked ahead of her, tall and slender. The last light of sunset stretched out his shadow until it fell over her body.

Mu Wan looked at him like she was looking at a god she could long for but never truly reach.

They watched the horizon in silence. Neither of them had spoken since getting out of the car.

Only once the sun had disappeared completely and the air had turned cool did Liu Qianxiu stop, turn to her, and say, “Let’s go.”

The mountain air was cool at night, but Li Nan’s phone call had left a restless heat inside her that she could not quite dispel. A little wine and then some sleep, and perhaps she would feel better.

~ THE RAIN IS COMING, AND THE WIND IS BLOWING ALL OVER THE BUILDING ~ 

Being looked at by Mu Yunyao with a smile in her clear eyes, Yue Wang felt as if his heart was beating even faster, “Yunyao, what happened? Can you tell me if I can help you? I will do my best.”

“It’s not a big deal. Fourth Master will just help me find the whereabouts of the remaining four people. It’s getting late. Mother should be awake by now, so I’ll take my leave first.”

Yue Wang nodded: “Alright then.”

After Mu Yunyao bowed, she walked out and stopped at the door before turning around. “I hope Fourth Master can take a good rest. I’ll come visit again tomorrow.”

Yue Wang was startled as he opened his mouth to say something. However, he saw that Mu Yunyao had already walked out of the door.

Before long, Yu Heng walked in. “Master, the Su family’s Eldest Young Master and Eldest Young Miss have already left the mountain and returned to the Su family’s residence. I heard that the Su family’s Eldest Young Miss’s arm was broken, and Qi Mama, who came to serve, has also been injured....”

No wonder when he said that the fire was coincidental, Mu Yunyao directly said that Su Yuyi and Qi Mama had planned it. She had always attached the most importance to Madam Su. Since Su Yuyi dared to reach her hands to Yunyao, it was well-deserved that they were broken.

“What about Su Qingwu? How did he react?”

“He talked to Miss Mu and seems to have left unhappy after a few words. He then arranged for a carriage to take Su Yuyi and the rest back to the residence.”

“Su Qingwu is a rare sensible person, but he was taught by Su Wenyuan and the Meng family….” Yue Wang sat on the chair. As he placed his finger on the table, he bumped into the portrait that Mu Yunyao had left behind, “That’s right, get people to watch Liu Nan and find out what’s wrong with him. In addition, let people pay attention to these four people in the portrait. Be careful and don’t alert the enemy. Report to us as soon as you find them.”

“Yes.”

Yu Heng backed out of the room. Yue Wang stood up and paced around the room twice, his heart thinking back about Mu Yunyao’s expression just now. Her attitude was a little different from before, and she seemed to be closer to him. This kind of cognition made him happy.

It had to be known that when they were in Jingling City before, because of his impulsive probing, Mu Yunyao had made up her mind to draw a line between them. But now she was willing to work with him again, and her attitude seemed close!

After coming to this conclusion, the corner of Yue Wang’s lips rose. It was as if his heart filled with a snow-white cloud that slowly floated down to the ground.

Yunyao had said before she left that she would visit again tomorrow. But now that as soon as she left, he was already looking forward to tomorrow.

Si Shu followed beside Mu Yunyao and carefully looked at her expression several times. She could not help but ask, “Miss, are you unhappy?” Miss’s eyes were red, and from the looks of it, she seemed to have been crying. Did Fourth Master bully Miss?

Mu Yunyao shook her head, unwilling to say more, “Nothing.”

Returning to the room, Si Qin came over and reported, “Miss, this servant took the portrait and asked the Discipline Monk of Baohua Temple if there were any people in the portrait. He said that there is no person in the portrait in the temple.” The person who came to deliver the false information last night was a fake monk.

Mu Yunyao nodded. She wasn’t disappointed because she had expected that. “Keep the portrait safe and well. Maybe you’ll be able to see it in the future. Has Mother woken up?”

“Madam has already been awake for a while. According to Miss’s instructions, Si Qi massaged Madam’s ankles. This servant brought some porridge over, and Madam eat half a bowl.”

When Mu Yunyao walked into the room, Su Qing leaned against the headboard, thinking about something. “Mother, what’s the matter?”

Seeing Mu Yunyao coming in, Su Qing’s expression became a bit more relaxed. She shook her head slightly with an inquiring look on her face.

“Mother, you don’t need to worry. I just went to visit Young Master Ning. His injuries weren’t too severe, so he should be fine after a few days of rest.”

Su Qing nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. When they escaped, the wooden beam was supposed to be aimed at her. Luckily, Young Master Ning had risked his life to save her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to see Yao’er.

Mu Yunyao thought for a moment, then decided to tell her about Su Yuyi, “Mother, this fire was caused by Su Yuyi and Qi Mama. Before you and Si Qi fainted, it was Qi Mama who secretly attacked you.”

Su Qing opened her mouth, but she was not surprised. When she woke up, she thought back to the previous situation and knew there was something wrong. She just didn’t expect Su Yuyi, who looked so beautiful and unparalleled, but her mind was so vicious.

“Mother, Eldest Brother has taken Cousin Yuyi and the others back to the Su family’s residence. Only Mother and I are left in Baohua Temple. After I finish copying the Buddhist scriptures and send them to Grand Princess Yi De, we will return to the Su family.”

Su Qing nodded and sighed. If she could, she really didn’t want to go back to the Su family’s residence.

“There’s one more thing I need to tell mother. Su Yuyi had malicious thoughts and almost took Mother’s life. That’s why I broke her arm.” Mu Yunyao carefully watched Su Qing’s expression as she spoke.

Su Qing was stunned for a moment before she looked worriedly at Mu Yunyao. She wanted to say something. However, because her throat is too painful, she can’t make a sound.

Mu Yunyao hurriedly consoled him, “Mother, don’t worry. I already have a plan, and this matter will be resolved successfully. I’ll tell you now, just to let you know in your heart that this matter is not to be worried because it has suddenly burst out.”

Su Qing was still a little anxious. Su Yuyi is the apple of the eye of the Su family. The Old Madam and the Eldest Madam had treated her as a treasure. Yunyao broke one of her arms, and the Su family would definitely cause a huge commotion. They might even find a chance to punish Yunyao, and it would definitely not be a light punishment when the time comes...

“Mother, don’t worry. This time, the Su family is already so lucky to be able to take care of themselves. They will definitely not have the chance to cause trouble for us.”

Su Qing was still can’t stop worrying, but when she saw Mu Yunyao’s confident look, she slowly suppressed the worry in her heart. She stretched out her hand to help Mu Yunyao smooth out the hair beside her ear. If she put her in an ordinary family, she is still happy and free from worries at the age of Yunyao. But when she entered the Su family’s residence, on the other hand, she was in danger at every step...

Mu Yunyao and Su Qing were peacefully staying at the Baohua Temple, but the Su family was in an uproar.

Earlier, when she heard that Baohua Temple was on fire, Eldest Madam had been extremely anxious. She had sent someone to investigate the matter. In the morning, she got up early to wait for the news, and the pale-faced and haggard Su Yuyi had arrived in the Su family’s residence.

Looking at Su Yuyi’s face, the Eldest Madam’s eyes widened in disbelief. She was stunned for a moment before rushing over to Su Yuyi, “Yuyi, what happened to you? How did you get injured?”

Su Yuyi’s eyes turned red, and she rushed into the Eldest Madam’s arms. “Mother, you have to avenge me!”

The Eldest Madam frowned and quickly supported her back to the East Courtyard. “What happened?”

Su Yuyi raised her head, her eyes filled with a venomous aura: “Mother, Mu Yunyao is too bold, she broke my hand and even used a quilt to cover me. She almost killed me! Mother, you have to take revenge for me. My arm hurts so much. I want to take revenge on Mu Yunyao one by one! She broke one of my arms, and I’m going to break her limbs!”

“What did you say?” The Eldest Madam frowned coldly and said, “Mu Yunyao broke your hand and almost killed you?”“That’s right, look at my neck. This wound was caused by her dagger! When Elder Brother found out about this news, not only did he not help me, he even spoke for Mu Yunyao. Mother, I’m afraid you don’t know, but Mu Yunyao is a fox. Not only did she seduce the Third Prince, but she also seduced Elder Brother!”

~ MU YUNYAO WHO IS SUDDENLY ENLIGHTENED ~ 

“I promise you, who do you want to kill?”

Yue Wang’s cold voice resounded within the room, causing Mu Yunyao to raise her head abruptly.

“Fourth Master, have you thought about it?”

“It’s hard to catch a word when it comes out. When I promised you, I naturally made up my mind. Who do you want to kill?” Yue Wang’s gaze was clear. After being together for such a long time, he understood that Mu Yunyao definitely wasn’t a person who recklessly killed innocents. The person who could make her kill him must have done something unforgivable.

Although according to the normal reason, Mu Yunyao would never have any intersection with his subordinates. But since she had already spoken, he was willing to believe her.

The tight bowstring in Mu Yunyao’s heart snapped with a clanging sound as if a small hole had been torn in the haze, and blinding sunlight shone in: “I don’t know these people’s names, but I can draw their faces. There are five people in total....”

“Yunyao, what’s the matter?” After Mu Yunyao finished speaking, Yue Wang saw that her face quickly turned pale, and his heart tensed up. Just what exactly happened to her to be in such a terrible state just thinking about it?

“I’m fine. Your Highness should have a brush and ink here. Can you lend me some?” Mu Yunyao gritted her teeth and did her best to calm herself down. Even though she knew that these happened in her previous life and there was still room for recovery in this life, some of her fear was like a maggot attached to a bone. As long as they aren’t completely removed, it would be like a shadow following her all the time.

Although Mu Yunyao’s expression was currently unsightly, the aura around her was exceptionally resolute. Yue Wang nodded his head when he saw this. He got up and walked over to the table to help her grind the ink.

Mu Yunyao doesn’t know why she was so impulsive today. She even takes the initiative to disrupt her plan, but she has no reason to take it back. If Yue Wang really killed those five people as she wished, maybe this change will be in a good direction...

Mu Yunyao picked up her brush and sucked in a breath of air before putting it down. She closed her eyes and forced herself to calm down before quickly drawing something on the paper.

In her previous life, she was not good at painting, but in order to create Ni Yun Fang, she practiced drawing many flower patterns and gradually mastered it. Not long after, she finished writing the portrait of the first person.

Yue Wang furrowed his brows and carefully examined the person on the portrait. He did not say anything but signaled Mu Yunyao to continue.

It took nearly two hours before Mu Yunyao finally put down the brush. Looking at the five figures on the table, the hatred and hostility in her eyes practically condensed into reality: “It’s these five people. Is Fourth Master still determined to kill them?”

Yue Wang took out the one in the middle and slowly said: “Yunyao, of these five people, only this one is the only one I’ve seen. As for the others, I don’t recognize them at all.”

Mu Yunyao abruptly raised her head and looked at Yue Wang in surprise, “Are you sure?”

Yue Wang did not evade the slightest, nodded, and said: “Of course. I won’t lie to you. Only this person in the middle is my subordinate, Liu Nan, a deputy general who was just promoted. He has performed many meritorious deeds in Western Guangdong. He is smart, and his skills are not bad, so I brought him to the capital this time. Currently, he is in my residence.”

Mu Yunyao’s face became paler and paler, her gaze fixed on the several people on the table. “If they’re not your subordinates, then whose people are they?”

In her previous life, she was muddle-headed when Jin Wang treated her as an item and sent her to Yue Wang’s residence. After her rebirth, she did not want to think about the tragedy that happened right before her death and had never thought about the strange things that happened. Now that she thought about it, those five people’s movements did seem a little sneaky, as though they were afraid of being found out.

Mu Yunyao widened her eyes slightly as she turned her head and carefully looked at Yue Wang, “If you find out that thereis a woman as a spy in your residence, how will you punish her?”

Yue Wang frowned: “I have people who are proficient at torture under my command. They will investigate and torture them to find out their origins and get to the bottom of it.”

Mu Yunyao fiercely sucked in a breath as her chest rose and fell non-stop. “You … Would you let someone humiliate her to death?”

“How could that be?” Yue Wang’s eyebrows were tighter. “Even though I am not a good person, I would not use such a cruel method. Yunyao, what’s wrong with you?”

Mu Yunyao supported herself with both hands on the table as the hatred in her eyes kept churning. In an instant, tears started to fall. “If it wasn’t you, then who was it?”

On that day, the horse carriage rolled over for no reason, and she fell down from the carriage, landing at the feet of Yue Wang. After that, she was brought to Yue Wang’s residence in a daze, and when she saw Yue Wang in the room, he gave her a look, but he did not seem to have any ill intentions, as if he was in an emotional state too. She was too agitated, and before she could say anything, she fainted. After waking up, she was treated as a spy...

For such a long time, she had always thought that Yue Wang ordered the execution of herself like that, but if it wasn’t him, then the answer was already obvious …

Jin Wang! It was Jin Wang!

Jin Wang had long feared Yue Wang for controlling the defense in the Capital, so he thought of many ways to pull him down. But none of them was succeeded. In the end, he thought of such a despicable and shameless scheme, sending herself to Yue Wang’s residence, then torturing herself to death and framing herself on Yue Wang’s body!

Conspiracy to taking your brother’s concubine, then cruelly tortured and killed her. Once the infamy was spread, it would never be washed away. Moreover, Jin Wang had always been good at controlling his speech, and the people he made friends with were all literary officials, so it could be said that he was using a pen as a knife and a knife to kill his enemies!

In this way, he would use his insignificant self to pull Yue Wang into a pool of muddy water.…

Jin Wang, what a great prince!

The aura around Mu Yunyao’s body was in chaos, and her tears fell even more violently. Her lower lip had already been bitten off by Mu Yunyao, and blood was seeping out.

Yue Wang was frightened. He wanted to reach out and support her, but he was afraid of offending her, so he could only call out to her: “Yunyao, what’s wrong?”

Mu Yunyao regained her senses and carefully wiped the tears off her face, “Fourth Master, Liu Nan doesn’t want his life anymore. It’s best if you let someone carefully watch him, even though some people are extremely loyal on the surface, in reality, no one knows what kind of thoughts they have. As for the other four, since they are not Fourth Master’s men, then can you help me check their identities?”

“Okay, as long as we can find traces of these four people, I will definitely tie them up and deliver them to you.”

“No need. When Fourth Master find out, just let me know.”

Yue Wang nodded his head and looked at her worriedly: “Yunyao, what’s wrong with you?”

Mu Yunyao had already dried her tears. At this moment, all of the coldness and hatred on her body had been completely retracted. Only leaving a slight tinge of red in her eyes, and she looked extremely pitiful. “I’ve thought of a few things, and I’ve understand a few people.” She knew what she had to do next.

“Yunyao ….”

Mu Yunyao raised her head to look at Yue Wang. The grudge in her heart has mostly disappeared. When she looked at him, his aura was as cold as a blade, and she only felt that he was expressly clear and transparent. She gently lifted the corner of her lips as her smile slowly seeped into the corners of her eyes: “Then I’ll need Fourth Master to take care of me in the future.”

~ I WANT TO KILL A FEW PEOPLE ~ 

The imperial physician had just come to take a look at his injury. He couldn’t wear too heavy clothes because of the burns on his back. So, Yue Wang only wore a light silk shirt over his body to avoid airtightness and aggravate the injury. At this moment, the clothes on his back were lifted, and a dense chill could be felt coming up from the inside, causing Yue Wang’s heart to tremble uncontrollably.

“Yunyao, this injury isn’t serious. I just need to rest for a few days.”

Mu Yunyao’s emotions were in turmoil. Last time, Yue Wang had personally led a group of people to cut off the salt ship and seriously injured. Back then, she had personally bandaged his injury and didn’t feel any special feelings. But this time, she felt a little distressed...

Mu Yunyao extended her finger and lightly touched the edge of his wound, causing Yue Wang to take in a deep breath unconsciously. She was so shocked that she promptly took back her finger. “Fourth Master, is it very painful?”

Yue Wang’s fingers on the brocade quilt are slightly clenched into a fist, and his ears covered by hair are red: “Pain!”

“I’ve brought some medicine to help you apply, but the wound is scalded and cannot be bandaged. Fortunately, the weather is cool these days, so the wound will heal faster.” As Mu Yunyao spoke, she gently and quickly helped Yue Wang to treat his wounds.

Yue Wang didn’t care about the wound on his body at all. Instead, he focused all of his attention on Mu Yunyao’s fingertip. Her movements were very gentle, as though a gentle breeze had brushed past and brought about a slightly numbing itch. That feeling seemed to be able to pierce through his heart, causing his expression to become even tenser.

After taking care of the wound, Mu Yunyao let out a breath of relief and gently helped Yue Wang to straighten his shirt, “Fourth Master, please be patient in the next few days and don’t let your wound get wet. It should be fine before the Autumn Hunt in September.”

“Cough....” Yue Wang suppressed his coughing twice, a hint of red appearing on his pale face.

Mu Yunyao’s heart tightened, and she couldn’t help but reach out to touch his forehead. “Could it be that Fourth Master has a fever?” Feeling the intense heat on his forehead, she immediately grabbed his wrist to check his pulse.

“It should be a fever due to injuries. I’ll write down the prescription and have Yu Heng prepare the medicinal ingredients. After drinking two sets of medicine, you should be fine.”

Yue Wang remained calm and collected as he nodded his head, trying his best to suppress the unease in his eyes. “How is Madam Su? Are her injuries serious?”

Thinking about Su Qing’s injury, a trace of gloominess flashed through Mu Yunyao’s heart. “The sprained wound on her leg is not serious, but her throat was choked by the thick smoke. I think she’ll need to rest for a while.”

“I’ve asked Yu Heng to investigate the room where the fire broke out, but he didn’t find any clues. However, if it’s an accident, then it’s a bit too much of a coincidence.”

“It’s Su Yuyi and Qi Mama.”

Thinking about how the Su family had allowed Meng Yanran to make things difficult for her, Yue Wang’s aura turned cold, “Yunyao, why did the Su family make things difficult for you? This time they are even trying to kill you. Do you notice anything strange?”

“I’m also surprisingly curious. It seems like the Su family has a deep grudge against Mother and me.” Mu Yunyao’s heart became heavier, “Right now, we can only use force to deal with the situation. The Su family wants to harm Mother and me, so I naturally will not sit here and wait to die. Let’s see who has the best methods.”

“Do you need my help?”

Mu Yunyao’s aura froze, and she lifted her eyes to look at Yue Wang. His gaze was no longer as cold as when they first met. Instead, it was filled with traces of gentleness and worry, causing her to feel a little uncomfortable unconsciously.

Yue Wang’s thoughts towards her have been so obvious. Previously, she could tell herself to keep her distance, but now that he had just saved her mother. If she was still like before, she would be ungrateful to him.

At this moment, Yue Wang was leaning on the head of the bed, while Mu Yunyao was sitting on the edge of the bed for convenience’s sake. At such a close distance, Yue Wang could clearly hear Mu Yunyao’s breathing. It was softly and shallowly as if feathers were brushing against his heart, causing his heart to feel warmth and itch.

Mu Yunyao slightly raised her head. Her clear eyes contained a trace of bewilderment and helplessness, causing others to be unable to stop their heart from feeling pity for her.

Yue Wang seemed to be bewitched. He slowly raised his hand and placed it on the side of her face, and gently rubbed his thumb across her eyes. His warm and exquisite touch had a heavy temptation, which tempted him to place his palm on her.

The warmth of her face made Mu Yunyao slightly stiff. When she came to her senses, she tried to avoid it. But in the next moment, she forcefully restrained her movements.

However, Yue Wang quickly retracted his hand, and his smile contained an unspeakable astringency, “Yunyao, you … You don’t have to be like this. I saved Madam Su voluntarily and did not rely on this favor to exchange for something from you.”

Mu Yunyao lowered her eyes, the light in her eyes rapidly changing. All sorts of complex emotions surged as if they could knock people down., However, in the next moment, she suppressed them all. “Fourth Master, you don’t plan on returning to Western Guangdong, do you?”

Yue Wang was unable to guess Mu Yunyao’s intentions and replied truthfully: “That’s right. This time, I come to the Capital, and I do not plan to go back.”

“Then... Is the Fourth Master have enough manpower in the Capital?” Mu Yunyao raised her head and looked directly into the eyes of Yue Wang. There was nervousness, caution, and even more carefully probing him.

Yue Wang’s heart tightened. At this moment, Mu Yunyao was like a mandarin duck cat that had been hurt by someone. She carefully tested her front paw and wanted to see if she could get a kind response.

Yue Wang’s suddenly turned emotionally, as his heart pounded like a drum. He deliberately lowered his voice, hoping to make himself more gentle. He did not want to scare the claws that she had just probed out away. “It’s still lacked a bit.”

Mu Yunyao sucked in a small breath as if she had made up her mind with determination. “Then does Fourth Master need a person that can help you earn silver? You must have your own plans for coming to the Capital, but you have to use silver to pave the way for every move. Those silver taels that you earned in Jingling City, if not as expected, should have cost a lot. I can help Fourth Master earn a lot of silver to support you, so that you can fulfill your wish. How about that?”

“What do you want in return?”

“When my mother and I returned to the Su family, I thought that we had found our loved ones, but in reality, the Su family viewed us as their enemies, like thorns in their eyes, thorns in their flesh, and they even tried to get rid of us. My mother and I are on our own and alone. I will help Fourth Master earn some silver taels, and Fourth Master will protect Mother and me. How about that?”

Yue Wang shook his head slightly. “Even if you don’t help me earn silver taels, I will still ensure the safety of you and Madam Su. You can also make another request.”

Mu Yunyao bit her tongue lightly, the frost in her eyes gradually spreading out. After a moment of silence, she coldly said, “I want to kill a few people, and those people are Fourth Master’s subordinates. Can you agree to that?”

Yue Wang frowned and asked in shock: “My subordinates?”

“That’s right, will Fourth Master agree?” Mu Yunyao looked at Yue Wang, the temperature in her eyes becoming colder and colder.

The time she spent together this time really made her treat Yue Wang differently. However, in her previous life, she had died a miserable death in Yue Wang’s residence, and the grudge she had with him still lingered in her heart. Although her death was not directly related to Yue Wang, it was actually done by his subordinates.

Right now, she wanted to give herself a chance, just like her mother had said. Even if she knew that there would be hardships in the future, she was still willing to give it a try. As long as Yue Wang agrees, she will try to forget the past life and have a try. However, with Yue Wang’s personality, why would he agree to such an unreasonable request just because of a single sentence…

~ I WANT TO PROTECT HER EVEN MORE ~ 

In the side room, Grand Princess Yi De waved the doctor back and let him retreat. She looked at Yue Wang, who sat on the chair. Her voice was quite serious when she speaks: "You are very brave. The fire is burning to such a degree, and you dare to rush into the fire to save people. If you are a little late, you can't escape from the fire even if you have the ability to reach the sky.”

Yue Wang said apologetically, “I’ve made Imperial Aunt worry. Am I not fine now?”

“You still dare to say? When I hear the report, I feel a lingering fear.” The Grand Princess stared at him with her phoenix-like eyes, and her tone was more worried than reproachful.

“Yunyao’s mother is trapped in the fire, and no matter what, I can’t stand idly by.”

Grand Princess Yi De looked at him for a while and couldn’t help but sigh. “With your personality, who did you followed? For that Mu Yunyao, did you not even care about your own life?”

Hearing this, Yue Wang became anxious, “Imperial Aunt, don’t get angry with Yunyao because of this matter. I was the one who volunteered to save her, and after I marry Yunyao in the future, Madam Su will be my mother-in-law. If I have the ability to save her, I will definitely do my best.”

The Grand Princess Yi De looked at him. “Am I the kind of person who would release her anger at will? I just want you to pay attention to the fact that the Capital is different from Western Guangdong. The situation here is changeable and unpredictable. Any kind of danger could happen here. Since you have taken a fancy to Mu Yunyao, you can’t just blindly protect her. Let her face what she should face it. Otherwise, the two of you won’t be able to do it in the long run.”

From this incident, it could be seen that Jun Yue already had deep roots of affection in his heart with Mu Yunyao. If someone were to pinch Mu Yunyao, then there might be more troubles in the future …

There was a trace of a warm smile on the edge of Yue Wang’s lips, “Many thanks for Imperial Aunt’s reminder. Yunyao is very powerful. It’s just that this time, it happened too suddenly, so she wasn’t prepared for it.”

“Coming to the Capital and entering this deep pool of water, you have to lift your heart up to your throat constantly. If you neglect it slightly, the consequences would be unimaginable. This time, she has you to save her. But the next time or later, don’t tell me that you can always appear in such a timely manner every time?! If Mu Yunyao does not have a way to face these dangers herself, it would not be appropriate for her to stand by your side.”

Yue Wang shook his head, and there was no looseness in his expression: “I understand what you mean, Imperial Aunt. But I care about Yunyao only because she is her, not because she is suitable or not and whether it is good for me to use in the future. If possible, I wish I could protect her and let her be safe.”

The expression on Grand Princess Yi De’s face stiffened, and after seeing Yue Wang’s resolute expression, the worry in her heart grew even more intense. “You …. I only hope that your deep love will not let you down....”

Qu Mama walked in. “Reporting to Her Royal Highness Grand Princess, Miss Mu Yunyao has come to request an audience with Her Highness. She wants to see His Royal Highness Yue Wang, and she’s now standing at the door.”

Yue Wang’s eyes lit up, his body grew even straighter, and the color of his entire body seemed to be much brighter than before.

Seeing him in such a state, Grand Princess Yi De sighed, “Since she has come to visit you, I will not disturb you here. Take a good rest, and don’t drag the wound into it. In a few days, it will be the Autumn Hunt. After you recuperate, you will go to the paddock to hunt some good furs for me. I plan to stay in the Capital for the new year. I will make some cloaks from it and wear them when that time comes.”

Yue Wang stood up and bowed, “Imperial Aunt, Yunyao’s craftsmanship skills are excellent. No matter what clothes she makes, if you wears it on your body, it would be like looking at the angels.”

Grand Princess Yi De glanced at him. “We’ll talk about it when the time comes.” With that, she held on to Qu Mama’s hand and walked out.

Mu Yunyao waited at the door for the time it took to brew a cup of tea before she saw Yu Heng walked out.

“Greetings to Miss Mu. Master has just awoken and is extremely happy to hear that you have come. Please follow me.”

“Thank you.”

Yu Heng brought Mu Yunyao to the door, and after pushing it open, he stopped in his tracks. “Miss, please come in.”

Mu Yunyao’s footsteps paused for a moment before she took the food box from the Si Shu’s hand, who had followed behind her. She said, “Wait for me at the door, and there’s no need to follow me in.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Mu Yunyao walked into the room and saw Yue Wang, who rested on the bed with his eyes closed and her breathing slightly slowed down.

He tilted his head and leaned on his side as if he was in an uncomfortable situation. There was a crease between his eyebrows, and the black clothes made his complexion look even paler. The brocade quilt covered his legs, and his long arms rested on the brocade quilt. His fingers were long, and his bones were distinct...

“Yunyao, you’re here?” Hearing her footsteps, Yue Wang opened his eyes. A faint light flashed through his eyes as if it was the first light of dawn. The brilliance was particularly gorgeous.

Mu Yunyao didn’t know how to face him. Although the two had worked together before, she was still quite cautious towards Yue Wang in private. After all, in her previous life, she had died in the residence of Yue Wang. Even though she now realized that her previous life was completely different, she could not let go of this grudge.

After spending so much time with her, Yue Wang had gradually occupied different positions in her heart. Sometimes, it would even affect her judgment and making it even harder for her to accept this feeling of losing control.

She hoped that she could do her best to keep everything under control. This way, she could protect her mother and fight against the Su family can go on smoothly. However, she can’t figure out and control such a big variable as Yue Wang.

Seeing Mu Yunyao looking at him without saying a word, Yue Wanf slightly blinked his eyes, “What’s wrong? Are you still afraid because of last night’s fire?”

Mu Yunyao regained her senses. “Thank you for your help yesterday, His Royal Highness. Otherwise, my mother would have....”

Yue Wang said with a smile: “Back then, during the new year in Jingling City, Madam Su had taken care of me in every possible way . Now that she’s in danger, I tried my best to save her from dangerously.”

“How is His Royal Highness’s injury?” Being gently looked at by Yue Yang, Mu Yunyao was a little nervous, and her hands were slightly dripping with sweat.

Yue Wang lowered his eyes slightly, and his face seemed even paler: “Nothing, it just some superficial wounds. After resting for two days, everything will be fine. It’s just that there is a lack of medicine on the mountain, and it’s rather inconvenient.”

Mu Yunyao hesitated for a moment before walking towards Yue Wang. “If Fourth Master doesn’t mind, how about you let me take a look at you?”

Hearing that Mu Yunyao suddenly changed the name he was addressed, Yue Wang’s heart shook, but he still felt helpless. Previously, he had wanted Mu Yunyao to address him as Fourth Master. But Mu Yunyao had said that there was only His Royal Highness Yue Wang in the Capital. It made him feel extremely uncomfortable in his heart.

But now that Mu Yunyao had suddenly changed her words, he felt the same discomfort in his heart. He wanted to get close to Mu Yunyao, but he did not want to get close to her because he had saved Su Qing’s life.

Yue Wang turned slightly to the side: “It was injured on my back. When I escaped, a piece of wood fell and hit me just in time.”

Mu Yunyao slightly bit the tip of her tongue. She stepped forward to pinch Yue Wang’s collar and gently took off his clothes. “Fourth Master, I apologize for my offense.”

The clothes went down, and the smell of blood became more intense. On Yue Wang’s back, there was a thick and severe burn wound. The wound emitted a unique smell from the burn wound, and the edges of the wound were black and purple. There were tiny blisters on the wound, making it look it was covered in blood and flesh. Mu Yunyao’s fingertip lightly trembled. Her heart seemed it had been pierced by a needle, causing her to feel slight pain. It was so serious...

~ FULL OF LOOPHOLES ~ 

Su Qingwu carefully observed Mu Yunyao, and only after a while did he retract his gaze. “The Baohua Temple has suddenly been set ablaze, and Yuyi is also injured, so this prayer will end today. Pack up your things, and we will head back to the residence later.”

Mu Yunyao shook her head slightly, “I’ve not finished copying the Buddhist scriptures that I copied for Grand Princess Yi De, so I need to stay for two more days. Cousin, you should bring Elder Sister Yuyi back first. Once I’ve finished copied the Buddhist scriptures, Mother and I will naturally return to the Su family.”

Su Qingwu was silent for a moment, then turned around.

Mu Yunyao sneered: I didn’t expect that Su Qingwu would just leave after saying a few words. Such a light and casual action is not like the style of the Su family, or is it better to just wait for her to return home and settle the score together?

Si Hua brought the medicine bowl over. “Miss, madam’s medicine is ready.”

Mu Yunyao withdrew her gaze, “Give it to me.”

Su Qing woke up as soon as she walked into the room. She was slowly sitting up, and when she saw Mu Yunyao wanting to speak to her, she realized that her throat was hurting so badly that she couldn’t make a sound.

“Mother, don’t move. Your throat has been choked with smoke and needs some time to recover. Don’t be in such a hurry to speak. Drink your medicine first.”

Su Qing caressed her throat and nodded. After which, she took the medicine bowl and slowly drank it up.

Mu Yunyao took the medicine bowl and placed it on the table. When she turned around, she saw Su Qing pointing outside with her finger. She couldn’t help but smile and say, “Mother, did you hear what I said to Cousin just now?”

Su Qing nodded.

“Elder Sister Yuyi was injured. Eldest Cousin wanted to take her back to the residence first and ask if we should go back with her. I thought about the Buddhist scripture that Grand Princess Yi De want me to copied had not finished, so I refused.”

Injured? Su Qing tried to recall carefully. Last night, she seemed to have seen Su Yuyi’s figure, and the other party seemed to have suffered some sort of injury.

Mu Yunyao helped Su Qing lie down and said, “Mother, you should sleep a little longer. I’ll have Si Qin bring some porridge over later. Before your throat recovers, you can only eat light food.”

Su Qing held Mu Yunyao’s hand and squeezed it slightly. She mouthed three words of Young Master Ning.

Mu Yunyao nodded: “It was dark last night. It was not convenient for me to visit him. I will take something to thank him later.”

Only then did Su Qing relax. She laid on the bed and pulled up the quilt. Not long after, she fell asleep again.

At this time, Su Yuyi was angrily tossing a medicine bowl on the ground, and her entire person seemed to have gone insane. When he saw Su Qingwu walk in with large strides, she hurriedly got up from the bed and moved to the side on the bed: “Elder Brother, where is that bitch Mu Yunyao?”

“Yuyi, don’t be so blunt.”

“What’s the point. Nothing to hide? Right now, I have the heart to hack her to death with one slash. Where’s Mu Yunyao? Why didn’t you tie her up and bring her over!” Su Yuyi was so emotional that she accidentally pulled on her arm and her face turned pale because of the pain.

“I’ll arrange for a carriage to take you back to the residence. Once we return, Mother will find the imperial physician to treat your wounds.”

 
“Elder Brother, did you hear what I said? Mu Yunyao broke my arm and even placed a dagger on my neck to kill me! Why didn’t you arrest that bitch and help me vent my anger?” Su Yuyi had nearly lost her mind. When she woke up, Qi Mama just so happened to be pressing down on her broken arm. The heart-wrenching pain caused her to be filled with terror, and what made it even more difficult for her to face it was the mess on the bed. She actually lost control of her mind due to fright…

Su Yuyi bit her lips tightly. Her heart was filled with dark clouds, lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled. Thinking of this matter, she wanted to immediately die, but her brother did not tie Mu Yunyao to avenge her, but instead wanted to send her back home!

Su Qingwu frowned. “Yuyi, this matter isn’t as simple as you think. We still need to consider long-term considerations.”

“Long-term considerations? Mu Yunyao broke my hand and even knocked out Qi Mama. Can’t you trust the words of the two of us? She was only a lowly bitch. Why did I have to be so afraid of her? Fine, if you don’t help me, I will go back to find Mother. She will definitely believe my words and help me to uphold justice!”

“There was a fire in the room. Aunt was almost trapped in it and burnt to death inside. Did you do it?” Su Qingwu asked in a low voice.

Su Yuyi’s body stiffened, then she denied anxiously: “It has nothing to do with me. It was Mu Yunyao who framed me. I was obediently resting in my room, and I didn’t even know why the fire was ignited.”

“Yuyi, don’t you feel that your words are full of loopholes?” Su Qingwu stared at her, his expression extremely cold.

Su Yuyi’s pupils shrank, but her tone was extremely unyielding. The fire from yesterday had left no evidence at all. So who could prove that it has something to do with her: “How come I am full of loopholes? Do you not trust your own sister?”

“You said that you smelled the smoke while you were sleeping, and then you saw the fire in the room, so you took advantage of the fire not strong to escape. Then why didn’t you call someone to put out the fire in the first place and inform Aunt Su Qing who was in the room, telling them to flee?”
“I… I didn’t know that Aunt Su Qing was also in the room.”

“If you really don’t know, why did you say that you didn’t see her escape when Mu Yunyao asked you?”

Su Yuyi was flustered: “Are you helping Mu Yunyao to interrogate me?”

“If I really were to help Mu Yunyao, then I wouldn’t help you hide the evidence!” Su Qingwu’s expression froze. “Although I said that the fire burnt those rooms clean, in the end, there are still some things that are left behind. For example, a metal piece that fixed the door and the window so that people can’t be opened from the inside.”

Su Yuyi’s face turned pale. She bit her lips and took two steps back.

 
Su Qingwu stared at her in disappointment. “Mother has always doted on you, and no matter what you want, she’ll bring the best to you. She slowly spoils you so that you can talk and do whatever you want regardless of propriety! No matter how famous Mu Yunyao was, she couldn’t compare to you in her background. Even if she was highly regarded by Grand Princess Yi De, she has limited influence on you. To kill Aunt Su Qing, other than provoking her insane revenge, what other benefits do you have?”

Su Yuyi was originally a little guilty, but after hearing Su Qingwu speak up for Mu Yunyao again and again, she immediately became so angry that she lost all reason: “Why am I spoiled? I want to seek justice for myself. Is it wrong too? Su Qing was fine in the end, yet you still scolded me? Is Mu Yunyao your little sister, or I’m your sister? My arm was broken by Mu Yunyao. Not only did you not help me vent my anger, you even scolded me here. What kind of bewitching soup did Mu Yunyao give you? Did you like that bitch?”

“Shut up!” Su Qingwu coldly snorted, and a suppressed pressure burst out from his body, causing Su Yuyi to be startled.

“I guessed it right....” Su Yuyi’s eyes flowed with hatred, and she didn’t dare to believe it, “Elder Brother, this is the first time I’ve seen you like this. I’ve guessed your thoughts, right? That’s why you’re so angry? That’s why you protect Mu Yunyao, and don’t help me vent my anger!”

“Think what you want. If you are willing to blow up this matter, then it will be a big deal. If you are unable to end this matter in the end, don’t blame me, your Elder Brother, for not warning you!” 

“An Elder Brother who only cares about outsiders. I don’t care. If you want to send me back to home, then I will go back.”  Su Yuyi smiled coldly, “If Mu Yunyao dares to enter the Su family’s gate, I will break her arms and break both her legs, making her life but unable to beg for death!”

Incurable Chapter 28 Part 2

Chapter 28 (2/2)

“Junior Brother... Qianxiu?”

Mu Wan was not sure she had heard correctly.

She glanced back at Liu Qianxiu. His expression was calm as always. He set down the suitcase and crouched beside the little novice.

“Qingchan, when did Master leave?” Liu Qianxiu asked.

Qingchan looked up at Mu Wan. Seeing a stranger, he grew shy and looked away.

“He just left. Shifu said you’d be here soon and told me to wait for you.”

The abbot of Qingyuan Temple, Xuan Qingzi, had gone to a Taoist temple in Jingcheng to visit a friend. He would not return until Sunday, which was why Liu Qianxiu had come early this month.

After answering, Qingchan sneaked another curious glance at Mu Wan.

Mu Wan smiled and crouched down as well.

“Hello, Qingchan. My name is Mu Wan.”

Mu Wan was beautiful, and her voice was pleasant too. To Qingchan, she seemed like a marvelous person. He put aside his curiosity and shyness and smiled back, showing two small tiger teeth.

“So you’re Sister.”

The little novice’s voice lifted like a bird in flight, full and sweet like ripe fruit.

Mu Wan’s heart melted.

She reached out and gently pinched Qingchan’s little cheek, then turned and smiled at Liu Qianxiu.

“Liu Qianxiu, your Senior Brother called me Sister.”

Liu Qianxiu looked back at her. Her shoulders were straight, her chin slightly raised, and teasing laughter danced in her eyes. He lowered his gaze, picked up her suitcase, and took it into the side room on the left.

“You’ll stay here.”

Watching his tall, upright figure from behind, Mu Wan’s smile deepened.

Beside her, Qingchan was still looking at his shidi. Then he turned back to Mu Wan and explained, “I grew up in the temple and spent more time with Master, so I’m the Senior Brother. Senior Brother and Junior Brother are based on generation, not age.”

After saying that, Qingchan slapped his little forehead.

“Oh, right. I need to tell Master that Junior Brother has arrived.”

Then he ran off to the main hall to call his master.

Mu Wan got up and walked over to Liu Qianxiu, who was opening the door to the side room.

This used to be the room Liu Qianxiu stayed in.

Once she got there, she asked him, “Then if I become a disciple too, would I have to call you Senior Brother?”

His hand paused slightly.

Liu Qianxiu turned to look at her.

Mu Wan smiled in a way that was vivid and a little wicked, her red lips moist, the corners of her eyes tinged red.

“I won’t call you Senior Brother. I’ll call you Brother instead. It sounds nicer.”

His fingers tightened a fraction, the knuckles straightening as the door swung open.

Liu Qianxiu withdrew his gaze and said, “Go in.”
