Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 358

~ SUSPICIOUS OF THE OLD MADAM ~ 

Jin Lan was a little dumbfounded: “Miss, why did Second Madam suddenly arrange this?”

“Previously, when Eldest Aunt was in charge of the household, she had intimidated the Second Madam from the side. When Second Aunt wanted to live a bit more comfortably, she had to be liked by the Old Madam and not be feared by Eldest Aunt. Thus, she had a straightforward disposition and was not to be feared. But now, the authority to manage household falls on Second Aunt, plus on top of that, knowing that someone is secretly attacking Elder Sister Su You. Do you think she will not make any changes?”

“From the looks of it, it seems like the Second Madam is suspecting that it was the Eldest Madam who secretly dealt Fifth Miss?”

Mu Yunyao shook her head. The confusion in her heart accumulated and slowly twisted into a mystery. “I’m not too sure either. But as a girl, Elder Sister Su You isn’t too eye-catching, and her body is too weak, so what’s the use of dealing with her?”

“That’s right. Your servant is also very curious.”

“Let’s take a look later. I wonder how many things Second Aunt can find out.” In the end, the Second Madam had lived in the Su family for more than twenty years. Thus, she had a much better understanding of the Su family than she did. Her connections and roots were also deeper than hers, so it should be easier to investigate.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the Western Courtyard, Mu Yunyao carefully helped Su You check her pulse, nodding slightly: “I’ve pretty much cleared away most of the poison. But there’s still a portion left over, and I’ll slowly remove it later. Elder Sister Su You’s foundation is too poor. If I clear out the poison in one go, her body might not be able to take it.”

In the past two days, Su You had been extremely tortured and already extremely weak. Mu Yunyao used medicated baths to help her remove the poison, combined with acupuncture and massage, took some laxative and divergent medicinal materials. Su You thought she would not be able to hold on and die directly.

Mu Yunyao put away the silver needles and looked at Su You with a smile, “How does Eldest Sister Su You feel?”

“I....” Su You slowly sat up. Although she still felt quite weak, it was as if a heavy burden was lifted from her body. Her entire body was light and airy, and even her breathing was a lot smoother than before. “I feel surprisingly good. It’s never been better.”

The Second Madam, who was anxiously waiting at the side, couldn’t help but cry, “That’s great. That’s really great. Yunyao, I don’t know how to thank you.”

“The next recuperation is the key. Elder Sister Su You’s body has been heavily attacked by the poison. If anything goes wrong, I’m afraid that she’ll really be in danger.”

“Alright, I’ll definitely pay attention to these dirty tricks and not let them get in front of You’er again.”

“Elder Sister Su You, you must has a good rest. I’ll go and prepare some prescription for you first.” Mu Yunyao held Su You and helped her pull back the quilt. Only then did she follow the Second Madam outside.

When the maid brought the tea up, Mu Yunyao lightly took a sip.

The Second Madam waved her hand, telling all the maids to step back, then she said, “Yunyao, I’ve been investigating for the past few days, and faintly feel that the person secretly attacking Su You seems to be... ....”

Mu Yunyao raised her head and saw Second Madam looking in the direction of Ning He Garden where the Old Madam was. “This is really too inconceivable, Second Aunt. Did you not investigate wrongly?”

The Second Madam smiled wryly, “I also hope that my own investigation was wrong. After all, she dotes on Su You and even sent a portion of precious herbs to the Western Courtyard first. Who would have thought....”

Mu Yunyao lowered her head, her fingers gently pinching the edge of the teacup. “Knowing people, knowing a person’s appearance, but not knowing his heart. I guess that’s probably about the Old Madam looked like. Her face is kind, and she’s muttering buddhist chants. It can’t be more kind, but in reality....”

“Heart like a snake and a scorpion!” The Second Madam slowly spit out these words, and the look in her eyes is particularly gloomy. “There are a lot of things that I didn’t understand in the past, but now, I think I’m just extremely shocked. Back then, my mother personally asked someone to marry me in the Qi family. At that time, my mother strongly opposed it, but I fell in love with your second uncle and married him happily, regardless of the opposition of my family....”

Mu Yunyao raised her gaze. She was slightly felt surprised in her heart as she didn’t expect such a thing to happen. The Second Madam’s lips carried a bitter smile and continued, “At that time, the Su family was not completely given priority. The Old Madam was extremely good to me, and it could even be said that she was very partial to me. However, my own belly was not very good. First, I did not get pregnant in a few years. Then I became pregnant, but the child could never be kept. I was happily found out that I was pregnant, but after a few months, I had inexplicable miscarriage. This happened several times in a row. I knelt in the buddhist hall all night long to confess whether I had done something wrong. Fortunately, there was Su You later on, which allowed me to feel alive....”

“Second Aunt” Mu Yunyao passed the silk handkerchief over and looked worriedly at the Second Madam.

“I’m fine. I wasn’t able to think of the crux of the matter before and only felt that my life was miserable. But now, it’s inevitable that there is someone deliberately harming me from behindt. I don’t know why the Old Madam did this, but no one else in this house has such great ability except her!”

Mu Yunyao nodded, “Indeed.”

The Second Madam wiped her tears. “Thinking that of all these years I’ve been trying to please a venomous snake, I feel terrible, and it was cold like fall into the ice cellar. When I was pregnant with Su You, it wasn’t easy. After that, I went through a lot of labor and risked my life to give birth to her. I also lost the possibility of being pregnant again. Over the years, I’ve been trying my best to help Su You recuperate, but I didn’t know that there was a problem with the medicine she drank.... ”

Muyunyao didn’t know how to persuade her, and this matter was too cruel for the Second Madam.

“Yunyao, it seems that there is a knife stirring in my heart all the time in these past two days. When Su you was a child, her health was not so bad. She didn’t like to drink medicine and always lost her temper, so I always advised her and coaxed her to drink it one by one. As long as I thought that, over the years, what I fed her was not life-saving tonic, but it was a deadly poison...I wish I could kill myself!”

The Second Madam hated herself and hated the Old Madam even more!

If the Old Madam did not like her, it would be fine no matter how hard she tried. However, she should not have touched Su You, and she is her own granddaughter. How could she not have a little bit of compassion in her heart?

“Second Aunt, there’s still time. It’s not too late because the situation hasn’t reached its worst state yet.”

The Second Madam took a deep breath and raised her head slightly to prevent her tears from flowing too fiercely. “That’s right. Fortunately, I met you. Everything was in time. Yunyao, I swear to you from the bottom of my heart, I won’t beg you to treat Su You properly. I just want you to give it your all, and as long as you do your best, I will never forget it. From now on, I’ll do whatever you want me to do!”

Mu Yunyao shook her head and stretched out her hand to hold Second Madam’s hand, “Second Aunt’s love for her daughter is truly touching. I can assure you that I will do my best to ensure Elder Sister Su You’s safety.”

The Second Madam nodded: “Well, you must be careful. In the Su family, the Old Madam has a lot of ability. I don’t know when she will know that you helped Su You to recuperate her body. Previously, I could vaguely tell that she wasn’t happy with you. If she secretly takes action against you or Sister Su Qing, it would be too easy for her to get rid of you, and it’s really troublesome to guard against.”

“Thank you for the reminder, Second Aunt. I will be more careful.”

When Mu Yunyao returned to Jiyue Pavilion, she had received the eighty thousand silver banknotes that the Eldest Madame had collected. She carefully examined the stack of banknotes, and when she thought about the two dowries of the Eldest Madam had given her, she felt comfortable in her heart. “Get someone to send the banknotes over to Qi Ming, tell him that he will moved in the next day or two, and let him be prepared.”

“Yes, Miss.”

~ YUE WANG’S CLASSIFICATION STANDARD ~ 

Looking at his appearance, Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but snort in her heart: “Then Fourth Master will take good care of himself. Before he recuperates, you can’t casually go near other girls, or else it’ll be bad if you get beaten up like a retainer.”

Yue Wang’s eyes suddenly flashed with light, and her voice became slightly deeper, slowly flowing into his ears, as though it contained a deep emotion and love: “I’ve only been close to you.”

Mu Yunyao was initially just joking around, but after hearing Yue Wang’s words, her face couldn’t help but flush red: “Fourth Master sure can talk a lot now. When I thought back to the past, you always treated your words like gold!”

“ It’s a matter of classifying people...”

Mu Yunyao raised her eyes and looked straight at Yue Wang, forcefully suppressing the uneasiness in her heart. With a smile, she said, “In Fourth Master’s heart, how is this people classified?”

Previously, Mu Yunyao had felt slightly embarrassed and annoyed, but the expression around Yue Wang had become even more indifferent. But now, Mu Yunyao had suddenly become even more opened up, causing him to feel a little nervous.

Yue Wang looked deeply at Mu Yunyao and slowly spoke: “You, a special person....”

At first, Mu Yunyao didn’t understand what he meant. But after she thought of these words, she suddenly froze on the spot. You, a special person… Could it be that in the heart of Yue Wang, other than her, he always treated others with the words like gold?

The room immediately quieted down, but other emotions started to circulate in the room slowly.

Mu Yunyao pursed her lips slightly. Her lips moved, revealing a little of her snow-white teeth, causing Yue Wang’s gaze to dim slightly.

After a long while, Mu Yunyao took the initiative to change the topic: “Do you have any idea what you can do to help Qi Ming, Fourth Master?”

Knowing that she still had not let down her guard yet, Yue Wang was not anxious. He cooperates with her and turns the conversation away: “There are a few people on Yu Wang’s side who are my hidden spies. I am planning to take them back to help me take care of Bu Xian Luo, and it just so happens that I can use them this time.”

“Hidden spies?” Mu Yunyao was slightly surprised, “I thought that Fourth Master really lived in Western Guangdong and didn’t inquire about matters in the Capital.”

“As a descendant of the Imperial Family, fights for the thorne are unavoidable since we are born. Although I don’t want my brothers to kill each other, I still have to have methods to protect myself. Moreover, there are some old matters that need to be investigated thoroughly, so I must let my power grow stronger.”

Mu Yunyao’s eyes slightly moved as her understanding of Yue Wang deepened. “Fourth Master’s words are reasonable. I wonder, does Fourth Master have any connections in the Imperial Court?”

“Yes, do you need me to write it down for you to see?” Yue Wang nodded his head happily.

“Is Fourth Master not afraid that I am a spy sent by someone else and deliberately come here to trick you?”

“No, I believe you!” Yue Wang smiled as he replied, looking at Mu Yunyao with unwavering determination. This was the first time he liked and cared so much about a person. Furthermore, Mu Yunyao’s heart was heavy, so he could only groping towards the other side’s approaches. He knew that Yunyao was suspicious, so he completely cut himself open and presented himself in front of her, making everything that she wanted to know could be seen at a glance. This way, she wouldn’t have to suspect anything secretly.

Mu Yunyao opened her mouth and slightly shifted her gaze away, not looking at Yue Wang. “Fourth Master, please arrange it yourself. I’ll have arranged for Qi Ming to be at His Royal Highness Ling’s side. In order to make him trust Qi Ming, I have to give him more silver tael. The silver taels will be used by His Royal Highness Ling to develop his connections. Fourth can arrange for his own people and earn more silverfrom me.”

Yue Wang could not help but chuckle. In his deep eyes, he seemed to see the stars moving slowly. “Alright, I will make sure that the fertile water does not flow to the foreign lands. I will make arrangements for it.”

Hearing his laughter, Mu Yunyao felt an itch in her ear, and a look of embarrassment flashed past her eyes. “It’s getting late. I want to return to the residence early so that my mother won’t worry.”

“Wait a minute.“Yue Wang said as he picked up his coat at the side, and just as Mu Yunyao was about to reach out to grab it, he dodged her finger and personally put the coat on her shoulders.” During Autumn Hunt, be careful of the Meng family. Grand Preceptor Meng’s mind is deep. His sons, however, weren’t outstanding, and so were his grandchildren, who are born liked to fight to the bitter end. They acted without restraint under protection of Grand Preceptor Meng and Princess Qingning, so I’m afraid that they’ll make trouble for you on the hunting ground.”

Mu Yunyao extended her hand to grab the belt of her cloak, wanting to take two steps back. However, she felt that she was acting cowardly by doing this, so she forced herself to stand still. She raised her head and smiled faintly at Yue Wang, “Thank you for your reminder, Fourth Master. I should leave now....”

“Wait, there is also the matter of Shen Binghuai. I have arranged for him to investigate Xun Wu, and very soon, there will be news of the Eldest Madam bribing those hoodlums in an attempt to find trouble with you. However, those hoodlums are dead, and the evidence is insufficient. At most, I can only do is to make some use of it, but it’s not enough to convict the Eldest Madam directly. Princess Qingning has always been protective of her family, so she will definitely get people to mediate things for her. The Eldest Madam has a great chance of being safe, so you must be prepared.”

“Alright.”

“Also, before this, I had wanted to transfer Steward Qin to the Capital, but he was in charge of Bu Xian Luo in Jiangnan. It would cause a lot of inconveniences if I transferred him here. Thus, I would let Eunuch Cheng come to the Capital. He is also an old man who has been taking care of me for many years. Although he is old now, he is still a bit out of temper. If you meet him in the future, don’t be scared by him.”

Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but smile, “Am I such a timid person?”

Yue Wang couldn’t help but raise his finger and lightly move towards the red mark on her forehead. “No matter what happens, don’t try to be brave....”

A clear and cold aura surrounded them as if it was everywhere. Mu Yunyao’s heart skipped a beat because of the slight tremble of her nervous eyelashes. The spot between her eyebrows that had been touched by Yue Wang’s finger just now became slightly hot. “Fourth Master?”

Just as the tip of his finger touched her forehead, Yue Wang withdrew his finger and placed his hands behind his back. “It’s my fault. Let’s go back quickly. It’s getting late.”

Mu Yunyao heaved a sigh of relief and quickly walked out of the door. Only then did the breath she had been holding up slightly loosen up.

Jin Lan, Jin Qiao, and the others hurriedly came over. “Miss, would you like to take a walk?”

“No need, let’s go back to the residence.”

After getting on the carriage, Jin Qiao looked nervously at Mu Yunyao. “Miss, why is the space between your eyebrows red. Did you accidentally hit it?”

Mu Yunyao stretched out her hand to touch it as if she could still feel the numbness from his slightly cold fingertip touching. “I accidentally hit it, but it’s fine.”

As soon as she returned to the residence, she saw a servant carrying something towards the East Courtyard. After seeing Mu Yunyao, the servants hurriedly pay their respects.

“What are these things for?”

“Reporting to Miss Biao, the Second Madam asked this servant to carried these things to the Eldest Miss.”

Mu Yunyao looked at one of the small screens and lightly retracted her gaze. “Since that’s the case, then quickly send it over to Elder Sister Yuyi.”

“Yes.”

When they returned to Jiyue Pavilion, Jin Lan helped Mu Yunyao change her clothes as she softly asked, “Miss, I saw that you were sizing up the screen that the servants were holding. Is there a problem with it?”

“The problem is not too big. The small screen should have been placed beside the table by the window. The the screen base looks like acid wood, but in reality, it has been refined with medicine, and the drug’s potency isn’t that strong. However, it will easily spread out when exposed to the sun. It doesn’t have much harm,but it is easy to make people impatient.”

~ THE WELL-INFORMED YUE WANG ~ 

In the Capital, there were still rumors circulating around about the Su family. While Mu Yunyao sat in the carriage, she occasionally heard some of the surrounding rumors about the Su family.

Ni Yun Fang had chosen a store on the main street. Mu Yunyao alighted from the carriage, and a middle-aged man with stubble on his face walked up to welcome her. “Greetings, Miss.”

Mu Yunyao’s footsteps slightly paused. After carefully looking at the man in front of her for a moment, a smile flashed through her eyes. “Aren’t you in Jiangnan? When did you come to the Capital?”

“In reply to Miss, I have nothing to do, so I might as well come over and take a look.” The man was taken aback for a moment before he smiled, “Miss, please come in quickly. There are too many people outside so as not to collide with you.”

This store was originally an elegant place. It took a lot of effort to build it, and the decorations were so elegant. However, it was not managed well, so the only thing they could do was to discard the entire store.

Mu Yunyao looked around before finding a chair to sit down. “I heard that you’ve collected a large amount of grain in Jiangnan again?”

The man stepped forward to pay his respects and lifted his hand to take off the thin mask on his face, revealing his true face. It was Qi Ming who had made a great effort in the salt tax case before: “Miss’s eyes are like torches, this servant thought that my disguise was flawless! Just like last year, this servant took advantage of the autumn harvest to buy a batch of grain, thinking that the weather is cold now, and Steward Qin may be able to use it.”

Thinking about this time of year, it should be too cold in Western Guangdong, and ginger tea should also be prepared in advance.

Mu Yunyao’s lips couldn’t help but reveal a smile, “Well done.”

“It was all taught by Young Miss.”

Mu Yunyao thought for a moment before speaking, “How’s the situation at Yi Bao Xuan now?”

“Reply Young Miss, Yi Bao Xuan’s progress has not been smooth.” Under the meticulous arrangements of Young Miss, he had successfully escaped from the salt tax case in Jiangnan. However, Yi Bao Xuan had been targeted, so he did not dare to act rashly.

Mu Yunyao looked carefully at Qi Ming. “Since Yi Bao Xuan has already been targeted, then you can’t have anything to do with me anymore. Otherwise, Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo will also be affected. Qi Ming, I have something that I want to discuss with you. It might be dangerous. Are you willing to do it?”

Qi Ming quickly knelt down. “Based on Young Miss’s orders, this servant is willing to do her best for her.”

“Get up. I don’t know what your relationship with Liu Liang is, but I believe that he won’t harm me, and I also believe in your loyalty.” Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh. She said these words purely out of instinct. She didn’t know why, but she, who never trusts others credulously, actually trusted Liu Liang and the people he finds especially. “I want you to take Yi Bao Xuan to the First Prince.”

Qi Ming raised his head, looked up, and his eyes filled with surprise, but he quickly answered, “Yes.”

“Even though you’ve escaped from the salt tax case, with the First Prince’s connections, he will more or less find out your shadow. If you want to continue developing Yi Bao Xuan, you can only rely on him, and only by dispelling the suspicion in his heart towards you, Yi Bao Xuan will have a chance to develop again.”

“This servant understands, but this servant has been involved in the Jiangnan Salt Tax case before. Isn’t it a bit inappropriate for me to take refuge in them rashly?”

Mu Yunyao smiled slightly. “Although I say that I want you to submit to Ling Wang, I can’t just send you to First Prince’s door for no reason. She has to find an excuse that won’t make him suspicious. The Third Prince, Jin Wang, was currently in the limelight. He had also recruited the Su family’s patriarch, Su Wenyuan. It could be said that he was holding the entire Ministry of Public Affairs in his hands. Right now, His Royal Highness Ling should be anxious to compete with in Wang for have some connections, so he definitely needs money to back him up.”

Qi Ming nodded his head, “That is indeed the case.”

Mu Yunyao continued, “In the Jiangnan salt tax case, Ling Wang suffered a great loss, but couldn’t find any concrete evidence against Jin Wang, so he could only suppress his suspicion for now. You should pretend to be Jin Wang’s man. After that matter is settled, Jin Wang will kill you to keep your mouth shut, and it just happened to be saved by Ling Wang’s men. In order to make it more believable, I will give you a letter was written by Jin Wang, half of which was destroyed, and I also provide you 100,000 taels of silver. I think Ling Wang will believe it.”

“Young miss, don’t this  a cheap price for Ling Wang in this way?”

“I’ve just made a small fortune in the past few days, and 100,000 silver was not too much. Even if you were to throw it out, it would not be a big problem. You don’t have to bear any burden. Of course, I will do my best to make the necessary arrangements. This silver will slowly return to my hands.” Mu Yunyao said as the smile on her lips slowly deepened, and her eyes were filled with an extraordinary light of confidence, causing those who saw it to feel at ease.

Qi Ming nodded his head, “Please rest assured, Young Miss. This servant will do my best to expand and develop Yi Bao Xuan.”

“Alright.”

Not long after she finished speaking, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door. Mu Yunyao raised her head, looked over, and was looking into Yue Wang’s smiling eyes. “Qi Ming, you can leave first. When I’ve made my arrangements, I’ll get someone to notify you.”

“Yes.”

“Why is Fourth Master here?” Mu Yunyao stood up with a smile and bent the knee to pay her respects. Her movements were faintly a bit more casual, unlike the respectful and estranged manner from before.

“I heard that you left the Su family’s residence, so I hurried over.”

“Fourth Master is rather well-informed, but we’re not done here, so we don’t have any fragrant tea for you.”

Looking at Mu Yunyao’s smiling face, Yue Wang couldn’t help but feel that no matter how he looked at her, he couldn’t get enough of her. He wished for nothing more than to place her in his heart and meticulously describe her. “The one who just left is Qi Ming?”

“That’s right.” Mu Yunyao slightly tilted her head as she asked with a smile, “I want Qi Ming bring Yi Bao Xuan to seek refuge with His Royal Highness Ling, so that Yi Baoxuan can have the opportunity to continue to develop. Fourth Master won’t mind, right?” He respected Mu Yunyao’s thoughts and knew that she has her own idea.

“Of course not, but do you need my help?”

“No....” Mu Yunyao wanted to reject him. But, she had already sided with Yue Wang. She could save some effort and energy, so why didn’t she use it? “Well, just now, I’ve been thinking of faking a murderous and annihilating scene. Can Fourth Master help me?”

“Who do you want to blame this on?”

“Jin Wang.” After Mu Yunyao finished speaking, she carefully observed Yue Wang’s expression, feeling a little uncertain in her heart. Although the competition among the princes in the Imperial Court was fierce, it did not affect Yue Wang, who far away in Western Guangdong. He was not favored, and he did not return to the Capital for many years, so even though he was a prince, he seemed to have been exiled. Without experiencing such a bloody battle, who knows? Perhaps Yue Wang not even considered those princes as his elder brothers.

Yue Wang raised the corner of his lips and looked at Mu Yunyao. Seeing Mu Yunyao’s nervous appearance, he couldn’t help but reach out his hand and lightly touched the center of her brows.

Mu Yunyao was stunned and only regained her senses after a long time. She subconsciously raised her hand to cover her forehead.

Yue Wang quickly retracted his hand and felt his fingertips burning up, bringing about a slight numbing sensation. His entire arm no longer felt like his own, “Cough cough … Alright, I will get someone to arrange it.”

Mu Yunyao blinked, then uncomfortably rubbed her forehead, leaving a red mark. “It seems like Fourth Master’s internal injuries have not healed yet, and you’re still absent-minded from time to time.” Her attitude towards him had only relaxed slightly, but this person had already learned how to take things a step further. “I really need to take good care of myself for a while.” Yue Wang nodded his head seriously.

Incurable Chapter 32 Part 2

After Liu Qian adjusted the net, Mu Wan stood up to help. She watched the fishing net sink and sat down again. The water was so clear that no fish could be seen. Mu Wan leaned over the side of the boat and asked, “Are you sure that there are any fish?”

After she asked, she looked up at Liu Qianxiu. Liu Qianxiu’s eyebrows were light, and his temperament was cold. He cast his eyes slightly to meet hers and said in a deep voice.

“Come here.”

Mu Wan’s heart moved slightly, her heartbeat beating on the eardrum. She laughed, got up, and walked over.

It doesn’t matter whether there is fish, and it’s good enough to have him.

Mu Wan put a futon under her waist, spread her body on the boat, and lay her head on Liu Qianxiu’s folded legs.

The valley was quiet, the sky was clear, the river was gurgling, the birds and insects singing. Mu Wan narrowed her eyes and raised her head to look at Liu Qianxiu behind her.

He put one hand on her cheek, his palm was dry and warm, and there was a mountain breeze between his fingers. The other hand took the book and now reading it quietly.

Liu Qianxiu had belief in his heart, even on the drifting boat, still holding a book and reading it. The two of them came out and went out for a trip. But in the end, they just changed the place to read a book.

Mu Wan felt dissatisfied, so she reached out, took the book away, and said, “Why are you still reading?”

Liu Qianxiu looked at her quietly with his deep eyes. Mu Wan saw it with a little guilty conscience. Then, she held the book on her chest, raised her head, and said to Liu Qianxiu, “Look at me. I am much better than a book.” After she finished speaking, Liu Qianxiu lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead. His lips were soft and tender. Mu Wan’s heart seemed lit by something, and her blood flowed.

Her cheeks were hot, and the kiss softened Mu Wan’s ears. Her determination was a little unstable. Holding the book, she hesitated momentarily and finally handed it over unwillingly.

“See? It’s true, right?”

She lay between his legs, her long dark curly hair spreading out, and her small face was white. Her dark eyes looked at the deep valley, her blushing lips were pursed slightly, and her eyebrows were long and thin.

It is indeed better than the book.

Liu Qianxiu took the book, put it on his side, looked down at her, and said, “Okay, I will look at you.”

Every time he speaks, he always touches her just right. His eyes seemed could see the bottom of her heart, and Mu Wan’s heart moved, and her body became warm.

She put her hands on her eyes and laughed unpretentiously. Her eyes looked at the white clouds that gradually gathered in the sky through her fingers, thinking that it would be better if time stopped at this moment. If you can’t stop it, it’s better to slow down.

However, time did not listen to her. The clouds became thicker and heavier. Within ten minutes, the white clouds became dark clouds, and it was about to rain again.

Liu Qianxiu collected the fishing nets, and there were fish in them. Mu Wan helped to remove the fish in the nets. There were three large and small fish. They couldn’t eat it, so Mu Wan put the smallest one.

After putting the fish into the fish basket, Liu Qianxiu swung the boat to the beach. The two got off the fishing boat and walked towards Qingyuan Temple. The sky became dark very fast, and after a short while, the sky was darkened.

With thunder echoing in the valley, Mu Wan asked worriedly, “Isn’t rain coming down?”

As she spoke, Mu Wan felt a raindrop hit her face. Mu Wan frowned and looked up at the sky while Liu Qianxiu looked calm next to her. He observed the wind direction of the bamboo forest and finally led Mu Wan out of the path.

Walking towards the depths of the bamboo forest, Mu Wan soon saw a cabin made of bamboo wood. Liu Qianxiu pulled Mu Wan in. As soon as they entered the door, lightning flashed, and raindrops fell from the air.

Dense raindrops fell on the bamboo forest and then on the wet ground. Mu Wan stood at the door of the cabin and looked inside it. There is almost nothing in the cabin, only a bed made of bamboo wood. Directly opposite the doorway, a small square window was opened. When the wind blew, the rain was blown in.

“How do you know there was a cabin here?” Mu Wan turned back to look at Liu Qianxiu and stretched out her hand to catch the rain falling from the thatched eaves.

“It was built by Master, and sometimes he will come here to meditate.” Liu Qian replied.

The Taoist priest’s purification means understanding the Tao, and the redemption site is not always in Taoist temples. But, it tends to place with conformity to nature. For example, the cliff that Liu Qianxiu meditated on early and this thatched cabin.

No matter where it is, Mu Wan likes it very much.

She stood at the door, and the water in her hand accumulated more and more. When the water in her palm was about to overflow, Mu Wan’s hand was held by someone else.

Liu Qianxiu’s palm was so big he could completely wrap her hand. Mu Wan turned around and looked at Liu Qianxiu. He stood beside her, looking at the bamboo forest. Realizing that she was looking at him, she looked back.

The dripping rain poured on his palm. Gradually, his hand couldn’t keep the water. Mu Wan poured out the rainwater in his hand, then took his hand and held it.

The two wet hands hold together. Mu Wan looked at the bamboo forest washed by rain and said with a smile: “I actually like bamboo forests. My name was Mu Qingzhu when I was born, but because my cousin was named Mu Qing, so I gave up my name and changed it to Mu Wan.”

The name Mu Qing was determined by Yan Mei, who said it was to take the word “Qing” with Mu’s surname. However, she didn’t want her daughter to collide with her, so she asked Mu Wan’s mother to change Mu Wan’s name.

And Mu Qing has lived up to Yan Mei’s expectations. Now she is with Shen Cheng and effortlessly suppresses her. She is comfortable and can make others uncomfortable. This name is not in vain.

At this time, Mu Wan didn’t want to remember Mu Qing. She returned to her senses, turned to Liu Qianxiu, and said, “My name was Mu Qingzhu at the beginning because I had a birthmark of bamboo leaves.”

When she went to the Emergency Room, Liu Qianxiu treated her wounds and saw the birthmark when she pulled down her clothes. At that time, he was dazzled, but later it was just a breezy compliment that it looked pretty.

Thinking of the past, Mu Wan raised her hand on the button on her chest and asked, “Do you remember where it is?”

After she finished speaking, she was about to untie it with a smile, and before she could move her hand, Liu Qianxiu grabbed her hand.

“What’s the matter?” Mu Wan smiled and pretended to be a fool.

Liu Qianxiu looked down at her. He sighed softly with his throat and pulled her into his arms with a slight force. Mu Wan’s gauze shirt was half open, and the neckline was pushed to one side, revealing half of her collarbone. There was also a piece of white and tender under the collarbone. Liu Qianxiu’s eyes paused slightly, and he looked up at her.

“You do this intentionally?” he asked.

He held her hand, and her body was lying in his arms. Mu Wan laughed and made no secret of it, “Yeah.”

Liu Qianxiu’s dark eyes looked at her, deep and distant, as if to draw her in. Mu Wan’s smile gradually faded, and her white cheeks gradually congested. She was a little flustered. She was struggling with his confinement on her hands. Without struggling away, Liu Qianxiu lowered his head and kissed her.

Mu Wan could smell the passion mixed in the bamboo leaves when her lips touched. She tightened her whole body and looked at him with wide-open eyes. Soon, she was completely dominated by him.

Mu Wan’s body was like a lighted torch. She was attracted by Liu Qianxiu’s kiss and then followed suit.

Finally, she heard a faint laugh in her ear. Her earlobe was lightly bitten, making her whole body numb. Mu Wan opened his eyes as Liu Qianxiu’s last kiss fell on her forehead.

It looked like a candy box was opened, and the candy was scattered all over the floor. It made the room full of sweet fruit candies smell, but the instigator let them disperse. Mu Wan’s red lips were slightly open, and her breathing was short. Her eyes were also full of water, and flames, which were jumping. Grasping Liu Qianxiu’s Taoist robe with both hands, she knew he was taking revenge on her, so she was a little angry.

“You deliberately!” Mu Wan’s voice was hoarse.

Liu Qianxiu looked at her and put his hand in her hair, his voice deep and solemn.

“No, I can’t bear it.”

The author has something to say:
Liu Daochang: You deliberately do it first.

~ I WANT TO LIVE! ~ 

The Second Madam sat on the chair in a daze as if she had lost her brilliance. Her complexion was pale and her aura gloomy. After a long while, Su You’s soft voice came from the room. She then abruptly stood up and walked into the room.

Mu Yunyao got up and followed her. She saw Su You had already opened her eyes and was turned sideways beside the bed as if she wanted to say something. Seeing the Second Madam, her eyes revealed a look of attachment, “Mother …. I have made you worry....”

“You’ve just woken up, so your throat must be feeling a little uncomfortable. Quickly drink some warm waterand get some rest....”

Su You slightly shook her head and looked at Mu Yunyao, who was at the side. Her face revealed a slight smile, “You came as well … It’s really great that you’re here too....”

Mu Yunyao went up to check Su You’s pulse, “There’s still raw Pinellia ternata left in that bowl of medicine, but fortunately that Elder Sister Su You didn’t drink too much, and she also threw it.up. So right now, there’s nothing major wrong with her.”

“Yunyao, let’s talk outside later.” The Second Madam hurriedly gave Mu Yunyao a meaningful glance. She didn’t want Su You to know about these things. Just in case, as not to increase the burden in her heart.

Mu Yunyao did not think like that, “Second Aunt, I know you are worried about Elder Sister Su You, but you still have to let her know what she needs to know. Previously, she always thought that it was because her body was too weak that she dragged you and Second Uncle down, making her thought thatliving was a burden, that she had no strong will to live! If a person does not wish to live, even the Da Luo Jinxian cpul not save her.”

The Second Madam couldn’t stop herself from covering her mouth and crying. Su You, who was in her embrace, slowly blinked her eyes and started coughing. It was only after a long while did the Second Madam recover her strength. After that, Su You extended her hand and pulled Mu Yunyao tightly, “You … What do you mean by that.”

A trace of unbearable flashed through Second Madam’s eyes, but she nodded at Mu Yunyao, indicating for her to explain herself.

Mu Yunyao sat on the side of the bed and looked at Su You calmly, “The reason your body is so weak is that someone intentionally wants your life. Logically speaking, after being nurtured for so many years, it was normal for you to be twenty to thirty percent weaker than a normal girl, but never to the point where you are at the verge of death like today….”

Su You couldn’t help but cover her chest as he curled up into a ball.

The Second Madam cried out in fear and quickly hugged her, “You’er. Yunyao, quickly don’t say anymore. You’er, don’t scare your mother. What’s wrong with you? What’s the matter with you?”

Mu Yunyao stepped forward and pulled Su You up from Second Madam’s embrace, making her sit up straight. Her cold voice filled with unquestionable determination, “Su You, you have endured all these years of suffering. Can’t you bear this blow? If you are not strong, no one in this world can save you.”

Su You looked up, her face pale to the point of almost turning transparent, her entire body trembling uncontrollably, “I can’t live...”

“As long as you don’t want to die, as long as you believe in me, I’ll definitely let you live!” After Mu Yunyao finished speaking, she took out two silver needles from the needle bag she was carrying and pierced them into the acupoints on Su You’s chest.

Su You’s eyes widened hard as she felt the stifling feeling in her chest gradually dissipate. She looked at Mu Yunyao with a glimmer in her eyes, “You really can save me?”

“Like I said, as long as you don’t want to die, I can let you live.”

Su You grabbed onto Mu Yunyao’s arm tightly, her nails leaving small marks on her arm, “I don’t want to die. I want to live! I want to stay with Mother and Father! I want them to be happy. I want them to be happy and not to be sad because of me every day. I also want them to watch me get married and have children. Let them enjoy their relationship! I want to live!”

Mu Yunyao held her hand, “Alright! Then remember what you said today. No matter what, do not give up, and I will let you live!”

Su You slowly revealed a smile. Her eyes were no longer as lifeless as before. It seemed like a candle flame had been lit deep in the night. Although the flame was faint, it was firm and continued to burn, supporting her through the long night.

Mu Yunyao heaved a sigh of relief and slowly moved the silver needles, “I will prescribe a prescription to help you recuperate, but you have accumulated too much poison in your body, so I need to remove the poison first. You will inevitably suffer some pain.”

Su You shook her head. “I’m not afraid.”

“Good, there are two days until the Autumn Hunt. In these two days, I can help you clear out the poison in your body, and before I leave, I will leave a prescription using some mild and light medicinal herbs. You’ve lost your health too severely, so you’ll need a year or so to make up for it. You don’t need to worried.”

The Second Madam nodded her head hurriedly. “There’s no need to rush. As long as you can heal her body, we won’t be in a rush to do so, even if we have to spend a few more years. Yunyao, I really don’t know how to thank you.”

“I have my own selfish motives. I think, Second Aunt can guess it too.”

“That’s not the same. I know that you have the ability to do so. With me there to help you, it will only make things more appealing. You helping You’er recuperate is equivalent to saving her life. You have saved her for such a great favor. I am deeply grateful to you.”

Mu Yunyao wrote down the prescription and asked the Second Madam to prepare the medicinal ingredients. “Second Aunt, you must be careful with regards to the medicinal ingredients. You must never forget the mistake you made before. If you trust me, you can have someone secretly go to Chunhe Hall to gather the medicinal ingredients. Of course, the medicine prescribed by the Imperial Physician and other doctors should continue to be boiled. At most, let Elder Sister Su You have a few more flowerpots in her room.”

The Second Madam nodded her head repeatedly. “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

Knowing that there was a problem with those medicines, she would definitely not let Su You continue drinking them. However, if she suddenly stopped drinking the prescription from before, it would arouse suspicion. She could only boil the medicine and pour it into the flower pot.

Mu Yunyao carefully examined Su You’s body. After thinking for a while and coming up with a few prescriptions. She also taught Second Madam a few massage methods and then returned to Jiyue Pavilion.

After more than ten days of effort, the Cinnabar Osmanthus flower bloomed season had passed. The leaves were slightly yellow now, and some had already begun to wilt. Although there was no more of the previous flourishing scenery, it was still quite interesting.

When Si Shu walked over and saw Mu Yunyao’s expression when she looked at the Cinnabar Osmanthus, she couldn’t help but say, “Miss, you will be leaving for the hunting grounds in two days. It’s better to have time to go to Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Lou today to take a look? If you have anything you aren’t satisfied with, you can let them rest in time.”

Mu Yunyao was a little tempted. Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo were in the process of being prepared. They are her foundation in the Capital. Many decorations didn’t need to be that meticulous in the Jingling City, but it differs in the Capital. They really can’t copy the old style.

“I’ll go upstairs to check on Mother first. Have someone prepare a carriage and send someone to Ning He Garden to report to Grandmother.”

“Yes, Miss.”

When Mu Yunyao went upstairs, Su Qing was still sleeping. So she could only instruct Si Qin and Si Qi before she leaves.

There was a message from the Old Madam that Mu Yunyao didn’t have to go to Ning He Garden to pay her respects in person and tell her to bring a few more maids with her when she left the residence.

Mu Yunyao knew that the Old Madam didn’t want to see her at the moment, so she was happy and at ease. She then took Jin Lan, Jin Qiao, Si Shu, and Si Hua out.

~ MU YUNYAO’S DISCOVERY ~ 

The Second Madam’s fingers suddenly trembled as she raised her head to look at Mu Yunyao in bewilderment. “But … The Imperial Physician said that sweating was good for Su You....”

Mu Yunyao smiled slightly, her eyes calmly looking at the Second Madam, “Then after the Imperial Physician has treated Elder Sister Su You for so many years, has Elder Sister’s condition improved by a lot?”

The Second Madam slowly clenched her fist, the glint in her eyes becoming more and more pronounced. “I’ve invited quite a few doctors, and they all said that....”

“Second Aunt is in the backyard of the residence, so you must understand that no matter who it is, every people understands the principle of protecting their own life. Even if an ordinary doctor saw what the Imperial Physician had determined, would he retort rashly?”

“Yun… Yunyao.” The Second Madam’s face suddenly paled. If … If what Mu Yunyao said was true, then for so long, she felt that it was all for the sake of her daughter, but in reality, she was harming her. “Yunyao, you know medicine? Is what you said true?”

Mu Yunyao stretched out her hand to pull the back of Su You away a bit, then walked to the window and opened the window to let the smell in the room dissipate. “Elder Sister Su You’s foundation is bad, but after so many years of adjusting it, it should have more or less solidified. But instead, she still continued to grow weaker and weaker. Could it be that Second Aunt have not thought about the reason for this?”

The Second Madam watched Mu Yunyao’s movements, and her footsteps hesitated for a moment, but she did not speak to stop her. “I … I’ll get a thinner quilt.”

Seeing that she believed him, a smile appeared on Mu Yunyao’s lips. She stepped forward and touched Su You’s forehead, “Second Aunt, please get someone to prepare some hot water. Elder Sister Su You is covered in sweat and wearing wet clothes, so she must be extremely uncomfortable. It’s better to scrub her slightly and change into dry clothes.”

“Alright.”

The Second Madam nodded and slightly staggered when she walked out. About a quarter of an hour later, she personally carried the blanket into the room. After going out, her expression was much calmer than before. But her eyes were slightly red as if she had been crying.

Not long after, hot water was brought in. The Second Madam ordered the maids to retreat and personally wiped Su You’s body. Mu Yunyao helped from the side. Looking at the Second Madam’s skillful movements, it seemed like she had taken good care of Su You.

It was also why Mu Yunyao dared to reveal her medical skills in front of the Second Madam. Su You’s body was so weak, even if you called Taiyuan Hospital over, the chances of being rescued wouldn’t be much higher than hers. As long as the Second Madam wants to let Su you live longer, she wouldn’t reveal her medical skills. After helping Su You clean up and change into clean clothes, the Second Madam heaved a sigh of relief and gently covered Su You with a blanket: “Yunyao, I don’t know what to say, and I don’t know why you know so much about medicine. But I swear to you here that as long as you do your best to save Su You, I will do my best to repay you!

“The Second aunt, there’s no need to do this. Elder Sister Su You took care of me quite well. If I could help, I would naturally not stand by and watch. It’s just that....” Mu Yunyao’s expression carried some hesitation.

The Second Madam said quickly: “Please don’t worry. I’ll keep my mouth shut about You’er’s treatment, and I’ll find a way to get any medicine that you need. This time, when you go to Autumn Hunt, you can rest assured to leave sister Su Qing in residence. When you come back, sister Su Qing will be unharmed.”

Mu Yunyao shook her head, “That’s not what I want to say. But for Second Aunt to have such thoughts, Yunyao will be forever grateful.”

“Then, why did you looked hesitant on your face earlier? Did you have any worries?” Since it was related to Su You, the Second Madam would always think the worst things. Seeing Mu Yunyao deny it, her expression became even more anxious.

“Second aunt, have you ever thought about why Elder Sister Su You’s condition is worse today?”

“When I was pregnant with Su You, my womb was unstable. From the beginning of the pregnancy to the time I gave birth, I have to take medicine. I waited for the child to be born with great difficulty, but I didn’t expect her to be so weak and sickly. To be able to raise You’er until now, it was all due to my constantly on tenterhooks....”

As Second Madam spoke, she suddenly stopped talking. Looking at Mu Yunyao’s smiling expression, it was as if layers of dense fog had blown away from her heart, revealing a muddy, dark, and mottled, bloody truth. “Yunyao, do you mean something?”

Mu Yunyao gently pressed Su You’s wrist, carefully taking her pulse, “Actually, children may look fragile. But they are just like the crops in the fields. The seedlings may have experienced drought, waterlogging, grow chlorosis. But if they were taken care of carefully, they would still grow healthy and strong later. So, they are no different from those good seedlings.”

“Then why… why did my You’er....” The Second Madam’s entire body was trembling because the guess in her heart was too frightening, causing her lips to twitch in nervousness, and her words were a little difficult to speak. “Yunyao, tell me, did you discover something?”

Mu Yunyao placed Su You’s wrist under the embroidered quilt and indicated to Second Madam to come to the outer room. “I won’t hide it from Second Aunt. Previously, when I was in contact with Elder Sister Su You, I accidentally helped her take her pulse. The reason why she’s so weak is that her innate ability is lacking. What’s the more important reason is that she has not been well nurtured properly. Although she has eaten quite a few tonics, very few of them can actually heal her body. On the contrary, because she drank too much of the medicine and accumulated lot of poison, making her already fragile body more overwhelmed.”

“Poison?” The Second Madam’s eyes widened slightly as she tightly held onto Mu Yunyao’s hand. “Is what you said true?”

Mu Yunyao nodded her head, “Since I’ve exposed my medical skills, I naturally want to do my best to keep Elder Sister Su You safe. I hope Second Aunt can believe what I’ve said and follow my orders to help Elder Sister Su You recuperate.”

The Second Madam gritted her teeth and nodded heavily. “Alright, I’ll believe you. From today onwards, ou can do whatever you want to do to help Su You recuperate!”

“In that case, you don’t need to use the medicine that you just gave Elder Sister Su You. There is a taste of Pinellia ternata in the decoction, which has not been processed. Raw Pinellia ternata is poisonous, and even ordinary people would not be able to bear it, not to mention big sister Su You. ”

“Pinellia ternata....” After Su You being ill for a long time, the Second Madam becoming a good doctor, so she also knew about this medicine. The doctor that came to help Su You treat also said that because of her cough and phlegm, she had put some ginger and Pinellia in the medicine to suppress the cough and dissolve the phlegm. “Yunyao, are you sure you didn’t see wrongly? I… It’s not that I don’t believe you. It’s just that a doctor must have know that there’s poison in Pinellia ternata....”

“I can confirm that the medicine does contain raw Pinellia ternata. If Second Aunt doesn’t believe me, you can get someone to find the herb dregs and disguise as an ordinary person to bring them to the medicine shop to ask, and you will know it after a test.”

“Why…? Those medicinal herbs were all good ones? Why would there be a raw Pinellia ternata mixed in with them?” The Second Madam suppressed the anger in her heart with all her might. At this moment, her voice was a bit hoarse, and the light in her eyes flickered with hatred. “Su You is just a girl. She is poor in health, and her appearance is not very outstanding. Could it be that there’s someone in residence can’t tolerate her?” Mu Yunyao lowered her eyes slightly. “This is also something that I can’t figure out no matter how much I think about it....”

~ HELP SU YOU SEE A DOCTOR ~

Mu Yunyao was in a good mood when they returned to Jiyue Pavilion. She had just sat down to drink a cup of tea when she heard Jin Lan come to report that Second Madam had arrived.

Mu Yunyao smirked and said, “Quickly go and invite Second Aunt in.”

The Second Madam soon walked in with a bright smile on her face. It was obvious that she was in a very cheerful mood.

Mu Yunyao stepped forward to pay her respects, but before she could kneel, the Second Madam helped her up, “Quickly sit down and rest. There’s no need to be so courteous. Have the wounds on your face healed?”

Mu Yunyao insisted on finishing her courtesies before sitting to the side, “Second Aunt is here, how can I not greet her? The wound on my face is all right now.”

The smile on Second Madam’s face grew wider. Seeing Mu Yunyao’s face with the bluish-purple palm imprint, she couldn’t help but sigh. “This bluish-purple looks very serious. How does it look like it’s okay? I’ve got a new bottle of cream here. It’s surprisingly useful in getting rid of these bruises. Let Jin Lan wipe them for you later.”

“Thank you, Second Aunt.”

“Don’t be so polite. I heard that something happened to you. Su You is very worried about you, but the weather has become cold some time ago, so she has contracted the wind and caught a cold. She can’t get up from her bed these days, so she can’t come to visit in person.”

“Elder Sister Su You is infected with the cold? I’ve been busy these past few days, so I actually didn’t know about this news. How about I go with Second Aunt to visit Elder Sister Su You?”

“Alright, that girl has always been thinking about you as a little sister! She used to be the youngest of the children in the this residence, but now that you’re here, she addicted to being an older sister. ”

Mu Yunyao raised the corner of her lips, “That’s great. I wish there were more older sisters.”

The Second Madam looked around and asked, “Where’s Sister Su Qing? Why don’t I see her? Is her throat better now?”

“Please forgive me, Second Aunt. My mother has just finished drinking the medicine and is resting. If she wants her throat to return to normal, I’m afraid she will need to rest for a while.”

“I’ve also heard about the fire at Baohua Temple. It’s said that several houses in a row were burnt down. It’s terrifying to hear that, and to be able to protect themselves from the fire is already a blessing from the heavens. Her voice can be slowly recuperated.”

“Yes. I’m sincerely glad too.”

“I can’t believe that those bastards have the courage to set fire in Baohua temple. after setting the fire, they fell down the cliff and fell to death by coincidence...” The Second Madam said. As she said, she looked up and carefully observed Mu Yunyao’s expression.

Mu Yunyao raised her eyes and smiled at the Second Madam, “There are many coincidences in this world, and few at best. As for the specifics situation, it still needs Lord Shen to thoroughly investigate them before we can discuss it.”

There were no outsiders in the room, so the Second Madam spoke with fewer scruples than before. “Yao’er, I know your mind is sharp and not like me. You are not like an ordinary woman. Even if I have the authority to manage the household, I don’t know how long I’ll be able to hold it in my hands.”

“What are you saying, Second Aunt? Since Grandmother has already given you the authority to manage the household, as long as she doesn’t open her mouth to take it back, you will naturally always be in charge of it.”

“It’s not that easy. After I got the authority to manage the household, I found out that this house had controlled by my eldest sister-in-law for more than ten years and has long governed like an iron bucket. I was only in charge of the keys to the house and look at the account books, so I can’t get into many affairs.”

Mu Yunyao’s eyes moved. “Grandmother assured and hand over the authority to manage to Second Aunt. Then naturally, everything will be decided by Second Aunt, and you has the final say. if you see that something doesn’t look too good, you can just give the order to change it.”

Since the person who has the authority to manage the household had changed, the staff underneath naturally has changed. If everything went according to the old rules, didn’t that mean the authority to manage the household is nominally in the hands of the Second Madam? But in fact, it is still controlled by the Eldest Madam.

The Second Madam gave a little smile and took a sip of her tea. “If it were any ordinary servant, I would have changed them. However, many of them are the old people under your grandmother, so naturally they can’t be easily traded.”

Mu Yunyao’s eyes trembled as her heart trembled. She focused her attention on the Eldest Madam and Su Yuyi, so it was inevitable for her to ignore the Old Madam. However, after thinking carefully about the matters in residence, it was not hard to see the Old Madam’s shadow.

In other words, most of the time, the Eldest Madam was a spear in the Old Madam’s hands. That seemingly good-natured old lady was the one who was truly unfathomable in residence.

“Yunyao, what’s the matter with you?”

“I suddenly thought of something, and it will make Second Aunt laugh. Since some old people cannot be moved, I’ll move first to the places that I can easily prompt. It’s not important to look at the details, but it can shake the foundation if there are more.

The Second Madam smiled. “Alright, just take your time. Look at me. Do you find it annoying to talk about all this stuff?”

“How could that be? To be able to talk more with Second Aunt, that’s what I wish for!” Mu Yunyao knew that this was Second Madam’s secret reminder to her, so she made a note of this favor. Next up, she’ll take it as a reward by helping Su You recuperate. “Second Aunt, I want to visit Elder Sister Su You. Do you know if it’s appropriate now?”

“What’s wrong with that? Let’s go to my place. I have a new tea set, and you’ll definitely like it.”

The West Courtyard was much more lively than before. Many servants came and went, waiting to listen to the Second Madam’s orders.

Just as she arrived at the door of Su You’s room, a burst of medicinal smell wafted over. The smell was slightly pungent and filled with bitterness.

Mu Yunyao followed the Second Madam into the room, and she heard the sound of a medicinal bowl being broken, followed by a wave of suppressed vomiting.

The Second Madam quickly went forward and caught Su You, who was beside the bed. Her expression was full of anxiety. Didn’t you feel better yesterday? Why are you so severe now? ”

The maidservants carried water basins, towels, and spittoons. It took some effort before they were able to help Su You sort them out.

Su You leaned against the Second Madam’s chest. His breathing was slow and weak, and her cheeks were a sickly red. She was so thin that it looked like she was just a skeleton. It was unbearable to look at her.

Because of her anxiety, beads of sweat appeared on the Second Madam’s forehead. At this moment, she was frowning deeply, worry and anxiousness overflowing from her face. After Su You’s breathing stabilized slightly, she slowly put her down and pulled a thick quilt over her.

“Yunyao, Su You’s situation is a bit worse today. I’m afraid I can’t even talk to you. It doesn’t feel good here, so I’ll send you out first and wait for her to recover some other day....”

Mu Yunyao frowned and walked up to Su You’s bed. She stretched out her hand to pull the brocade quilt away from Su You’s body. “Second Aunt, why you cover Elder Sister Su You with such a thick quilt? Isn’t she hot?”

The Second Madam hastily went forward and covered Su You with the quilt again.“The Imperial Physician has repeatedly told me that she could not catch a cold again, so I especially found a thick quilt for her. Su You was suffering from cold, so it would be faster for her to cover herself and sweat.”

Mu Yunyao reached out to grab the Second Madam’s wrist and pulled her away firmly, “Second Aunt treated Mother and me with sincerity, so I naturally want to return the favor. If you really are doing this for the good of Elder Sister Su You, why don’t you change it with a thin quilt.”

~ THE ELDEST MADAM’S DETERMINATION ~ 

The Eldest Madam rushed over and heard Mu Yunyao’s words. Her face instantly darkened, “What are you doing here?”

Mu Yunyao stood up and bowed respectfully to the Eldest Madam as usual, “Greetings, Eldest Aunt. I heard that Elder Sister Yuyi was in a bad mood these few days, so I specifically came to visit and also sent some porcelain ornaments over. They weren’t even worth a few taels of silver, so It’s also good for Elder Sister Yuyi smashed them to pieces.”

The Eldest Madam was so angry that her heart trembled. She took a few deep breaths before suppressing the anger in his chest. “Then I’ll take Yuyi’s place to thank you for your good intentions.”

“We’re all family. There’s no need for thank you. I heard that in order to raise eighty thousand silver taels, Eldest Aunt had to pay off two of her dowry. I wonder how much the silver has been raised?”

“Don’t worry, it’s only 80,000 tales of silver, right? I will give it to you. You may feel at ease if you spend the silver with a black heart?”

Mu Yunyao strangely blinked her eyes and said as if it was natural, “This silver is mine to begin with. What’s there to be worried about and unjustified about if I’m spending it?”

The Eldest Madam was livid. She gritted her teeth and said, “You’ve finished giving the items, and we’ve finished speaking. Shouldn’t you leave now?” Seeing Mu Yunyao made her heart burning with anger.

Mu Yunyao smiled as she nodded and said, “Indeed, it’s time to say goodbye. We have to head out to the Auntum Hunt in two days, and we still have some luggage to pack. Elder Sister Yuyi should stay at home and recuperate. Oh right, if Eldest Aunt has collected all the silver, send someone to deliver it to me at Jiyue Pavilion. It’s best if you could send it before I head to the Auntum Hunt. It shouldn’t be a problem for Eldest Aunt, right?”

The Eldest Madam almost shattered her silver teeth. But at this time, she could not clash with Mu Yunyao again. “Alright … Rest assured, I’ll deliver it to you tomorrow.”

“That’s great. It’s not early, I should go too. Eldest Aunt doesn’t need to sent me away.”

As Mu Yunyao stepped out of the East Courtyard, Su Yuyi, who was mad, smashed the things she had brought straight to pieces. Then Su Yuyi collapsed to the ground. When she fell, she moved too much and accidentally involved her broken arm. The pain makes her more hysterical. “Mother, that little bitch Mu Yunyao directly bullied me. Won’t you help me vent my anger? ”

The Eldest Madam’s chest heaved as she shouted at Su Yuyi, “If it wasn’t for helping you vent your anger, I would not have been robbed of my authority to manage the household and confined here!”

Seeing that the Eldest Madam was truly angered, Su Yuyi bit her lips, leaned on the table, and started to cry: “I am the legitimate descendant of the Su family, but was stepped on by a country girl. She gave me worthless bottles and jars to insult me. I would rather rather die straight away!”

“What nonsense are you talking about!” The Eldest Madam stepped forward and pulled Su Yuyi up, “Mother has painstakingly nurtured you for so many years. Is this how you give up on yourself?”

“But if I don’t give up, what can I do? The doctor that if my arm was broken twice, even if it grew better, it would affect my movements. My future had already been ruined by Mu Yunyao. Could it be that I will be stepped on by her in the future and need to rely on her for a living?

“In the past, the Emperor was the unfavoured son of the late Emperor, and also the one with the lowest status. He was able to bear the humiliation, ascend to the throne and ruled the Dali Dynasty for many years. How do you know that you didn’t take advantage of the wind to break the clouds one day?”

“With my current appearance, even if the wind were to blow on me, my wings would be broken. How could I possibly fly?”

The Eldest Madam raised her arms and slapped Su Yuyi fiercely, “I used to protect you too much in the past and caused you to not experience any hardships. When you encounter some setbacks, you will never recover. If you are like this all the time, I’m afraid you can only be trampled by Mu Yunyao!”

Su Yuyi turned her head to the side after being slapped by the Eldest Madam. The stinging pain on her face made her unable to stop herself from crying. “Mother....” The Eldest Madam pinched her chin, making her looked up. “You just broke an arm, not a face,” she said. “With a face like yours, even if you beaten to the depths, there would still be people who would want to save you! Mother was careless in the past. She only wanted to make you noble and beautiful, yet I forgot to let you see the darkness of the backyard. From today onwards, I will teach you a good lesson.”

“Mother... Is there still time now?”

“How could it be too late? Don’t worry, as long as you’re willing, you’ll be able to do it anytime.” The Eldest Madam helped Su Yuyi straighten her hair, “The wind has been blowing too hard these days. It’s fine if we don’t go for the Autumn Hunt in September, but let the young ladies of the official family fight. you should avoid the limelight for a while.”

“I… I still feel that I have no confident in my heart....”

The Eldest Madam frowned and held Su Yuyi’s hand tightly, “Yuyi, this is just a small failure. There’s still a long road ahead of us. You don’t stop eating just because of choking. In the future, Mother will point to you to support me!”

Su Yuyi cried out, “Mother, I don’t want to lose to that bitch Mu Yunyao just like that. I don’t want to keep on looking at others’ faces all the time from now on. You have to help me!”

She wanted to ascend to the high position and wanted to return the humiliation she suffered today to Mu Yunyao a thousand times over!

The Eldest Madam slowly stroked Su Yuyi’s hair. Her eyes were gloomy, as though venom was flowing: “You are my only daughter. Mother has pinned most of her hope on you. Who could help you if not me? Mu Yunyao can be proud for a while, but it was absolutely impossible for her to be complacent for her entire life. Did she really think that with the Old Madam’s help right now, she could do whatever she wanted in the Su family? Don’t you think that Old Wang Mama and Old Liu Mama’s deaths are so strange!”

Su Yuyi raised her head and said, “Mother, could it be that the reason why Old Wang Mama and Old Liu Mama plotted against Mu Yunyao is that… Grandmother?”

“Who else could it be other than her?” The Eldest Madam sneered, and her eyes were full of hatred. “After today’s incident, I now understand what mother in law, what husband and wife… It’s all a joke. At the most critical moment, didn’t your grandmother and father push me out simply and neatly? Over the years, I have been planning for the Su family wholeheartedly. In order to help your father support Jin Wang, I even took out half of my assets and dowry, but what did I get in exchange? He was merely forced me to retreat to block the spear!”

Su Yuyi bit her lips. “Mother, Daughter will never betray you.”

The Eldest Madam looked down and saw Su Yuyi. Her heart was filled with comfort, “The thing that Mother is most proud of is that I gave birth Qingwu and you. As long as you two are here, no matter how bitter it is, Mother will be happy. As long as the two of you are here, there will still be hope for Mother’s future.Yuyi, if you want to become a real phoenix, you must be able to rebirth within the raging flames. Today is the test, and you need to be strong enough to endure it in order obtain what you really want.”

Su Yuyi nodded. “Mother, don’t worry. Your daughter will definitely work hard.”

“It’s not hard work, but it’s a must!” The Eldest Madam’s eyes were firm. “I will send a letter to the Meng family and ask your grandmother to seek justice for us. Mu Yunyao thought that her wings had hardened, but what she didn’t know was that in the face of a real sharp blade, she was so weak that she couldn’t even withstand a single blow.”

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 351

~ THE ARROGANT AND DOMINEERING MU YUNYAO ~ 

 
The Emperor took an indifferent attitude toward the Su family’s affairs, and the people in Imperial Court did not dare to intervene easily. After all, the one in charge of investigating this matter was the famous, straightforward person, Shen Binghuai. His colleagues in the Imperial Court had given him a nickname, Shen Heilian (Black Face). This man does not care whether your official position is higher than him or your position of power is heavier than his. As long as you get caught in the wrong place, he will definitely think of all the ways to investigate you. His stubbornness is unbearable even to the Emperor.

When they heard that the Emperor had handed over the matter of the Su family to Shen Binghuai to investigate, the people all nodded in agreement. Shen Binghuai had been called Shen Heilian by his colleague, but the people regarded him as Qingtian. He helped the people with many cases when he was in Shuntian Manor, which was very convincing.

However, this time, Shen Binghuai’s investigation was not thriving. Many things that happened were all pointed at the Su family, but the concrete evidence was very little. The only thing that could be obtained was the card that Wang Zhu submitted. But Su Wenyuan had previously said that the Su family’s cards were not lost, so he could only check them out again in person.

Now the person in charge of the Su family’s affair is Second Madam. Shen Binghuai came to check the matching cards, and the Second Madam directly called the steward over. “Lord Shen, these matching cards are used for the convenience of servants to go out and do business, so they are usually kept by the steward. This is Shen Fu, the Su family’s steward. Lord Shen can check with him.”

Shen Bingshu nodded his head: “Shen Fu, are you sure that the Su Family’s matching cards have not been lost?”

“Replying to the Lord, the house did not lose any matching cards, but there are three pairs of matching cards were taken out and has not returned. There are two taken away by the head steward and went to Qizhou City to check the property. Also, there is one in Xun Wu’s hand. He had been sent out by the Eldest Madam to do some errands a few days ago, and the rest were all in residence.”

Shen Binghuai looked at the tray of matching cards, and his eyes suddenly focused. He took out the other half of the matching card and placed it on the tray, which happened to be matched with the matching cards that had Xun Wu’s name.

The steward’s expression changed. The Second Madam, who was by his side, was secretly shocked. She didn’t need Shen Binghuai to open his mouth and directly asked the steward, “Where Eldest Sister-in-Law sent Xu Wu out to do something?”

“In reply to Second Madam, this servant doesn’t know. This token has been taken out for some time....”

“Ever since he got his cards, did Xun Wu ever come back?”

The steward shook his head. “I’ve never seen him again.”

Inside Ji Yue Pavilion, Mu Yunyao was in a good mood to water the pot of Shameless Beauty in the room.

Jin Qiao walked in quickly with a smile on her face, “Miss, guess what Lord Shen found in his investigation today?”

Mu Yunyao’s lips held a smile, “Could it be that he found aunt’s body?”

“Isn’t it? Lord Shen has a plat of matching card from the Su family residence, which just happened that the card was taken out by Xun Wu. It is said that the Eldest Madam sent him out to check on the situation of the autumn harvest at her own estate, but he has not come back, and now Lord Shen has sent someone to look for him.”

“Xun Wu…” This name is quite interesting. Could it be that there are still Xun Da and Xun Ji?”

Jin Qiao nodded and looked at Mu Yunyao in admiration. “Miss is really smart, that is because Xun Wu called Wu because he was ranked fifth, and he has four older brothers.”

Mu Yunyao laughed. “Eldest Aunt has been quite quiet these past few days. Jin Qiao prepared some gifts because I’m going to visit Elder Sister Yuyi. Since I’ll be leaving for the Autumn Hunt in two days, so before I leave, I’ll give some gifts to express my feelings.”

“Then, this servant will prepare some medicinal ingredients. Is it appropriate, Miss?”

“I don’t dare to send medicinal herbs to Eldest Aunt. I should prepare some ornaments and porcelain. After Elder Sister Yuyi woke up, didn’t she smash all of the ornaments in her room? Since Eldest Aunt is no longer in charge of the residence and hasn’t even collected all of the eighty thousand taels of silver she owes me. It shouldn’t be convenient for her to buy new ornaments for Elder Sister Yuyi, then we might send some ornaments over.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Mu Yunyao changed into a new set of clothes and headed East Courtyard with Jin Lan and Jin Qiao. Along the way, the servants that saw her all bowed respectfully. Some of them didn’t even dare raise their heads, afraid that they would make Mu Yunyao unhappy.

Mu Yunyao directly went to Su Yuyi’s room, and just as she reached the door, she heard Su Yuyi berating the maid.

“Kneel down. I won’t let you all get up. If anyone dares to move, beat them up and throw them out of the residence!”

Mu Yunyao slightly pursed her lips, the light in her eyes chilly. In her previous life, Su Yuyi’s life had gone smoothly. She also had been tightly protected by the Su family. She had never experienced any hardships, so even if there were any flaws in her personality, she had still hidden them one by one. But now, before Su Yuyi ascended, she broke her arms and destroyed her foundation. In that case, what would become of this proud daughter be like?

Su Yuyi raised her head and saw Mu Yunyao standing at the doorway. Her eyes immediately turned fierce, “Mu Yunyao, what are you doing here?” At the same time, he could not help but tremble in fear.

Mu Yunyao looked at the shivering maid on the ground and lightly retracted her gaze. “I came here to visit you. I heard that Elder Sister Yuyi’s mood wasn’t good these few days. She liked listening to the sound of porcelain being broken, so I specially gathered some ornament and porcelain from the warehouse to specifically deliver them to Elder Sister.”

“Are you here to ridicule me?” Su Yu Yi frowned, the hatred in her eyes became even intense, “Mu Yunyao, don’t think you’ll be able to laugh until the end. Thirty years in the east and thirty years in the west. What will happen to you in the end? You still don’t know what the result will be!”

Mu Yunyao suddenly laughed, and it took a while before she stopped. “30 years in the east, 30 years in the west … I never thought that I would be able to hear such words from Elder Sister Yuyi. I thought that I was the most appropriate person to say such words!”

“You…” Su Yuyi bit her lips hard, and her pale face turned red. Even with her broken arm and sickly look, she was still beautiful, but it was a pity that this beauty was twisted by hatred, “Get out of my room. You will be stained my place!”

Mu Yunyao’s smile remained the same, “Elder Sister Yuyi, you should be happy right now. Happy that I’ve come to see you. It won’t be long before no one dares to set foot into the East Courtyard. When you cry and beg me to come, I won’t even take a step!”

Su Yuyi was so angry that her entire body was trembling. She wished that she could go up and tear Mu Yunyao’s smiling face to shreds, but Mu Yunyao was followed by Si Shu, so she didn’t dare to act rashly.

“Jin Lan, Jin Qiao, bring out those things I brought for Elder Sister Yuyi.”

“Yes, Miss.”

After hearing the order, Jin Lan and Jin Qiao immediately took action, not caring about Su Yuyi on the sideline.

“Mu Yunyao, don’t go too far!” Su Yuyi threw the bottle on the table to the ground and shouted angrily.

Mu Yunyao shook her head with great pity. “Elder Sister Yuyi, this Spring Bottle that you casually threw away is worth fifty taels of silver. I heard that Eldest Aunt was willing to pay out some of her dowry to raise the silver. If you waste it like this, she must be angry. In addition, you broke the ornaments that I sent over. In the future, it won’t be that easy to replace them. After all, the residence doesn’t have much silver. It is said that one does not know how precious firewood and rice are. If I do not personally see the account books, it would truly be hard to imagine that the dignified Su family is actually this poor.”

Incurable Chapter 32 Part 1

Her body heats up and is transmitted to his body through the skin. Her cheeks are slightly red, giving a signal of seduction. She hugged his neck with her hands, her back hanging on the bed, and her movements were tiring. Liu Qianxiu put his hand on Mu Wan’s waist, and after the rustling sound, he brought her into his arms.

Mu Wan’s legs hooked on his waist, and sat on his legs. Her posture is ambiguous and blurred. Liu Qianxiu’s eyes are calm and deep, unable to see the bottom and the surface.

The two looked at each other. Liu Qianxiu put his hands on her back, and with a deep voice, he said, “Mu Wan, I am a doctor. There is nothing here, and you might get pregnant if we do it now.”

Such straightforward and serious science adds another layer to the night’s desire. Mu Wan’s body was getting hotter, and the ascetic smell of sandalwood on his body was the best aphrodisiac.

“You are the father of my child if I get pregnant.” Mu Wan looked up and smiled, “I’m not afraid.”

She has no parents and is alone. Now, Liu Qianxiu is her god and her world.

She is not afraid, like a newly formed little demon, with reckless and ignorant courage. When she spoke, her eyes were shining, and the sweetness of her eyes was flowing. For the sake of love, she doesn’t care about anything and dares to do everything simply enough to make people want to take out their burning hearts and give them to her.

Liu Qianxiu looked at her smile and quietly said, “I haven’t given you anything yet.”

Mu Wan shook her head and said, “You already gave it to me. You like me, and you give me your love. It’s been a long time since someone has loved me.”

After she said, she raised her head and looked at Liu Qianxiu’s lips. She wanted to kiss him and recklessly looked for it. Her warm and soft lips brushed Liu Qianxiu’s chin. Their delicate skin touched, Liu Qianxiu’s eyes glistened, and his eyes were as clear as water.

He took her in his arms and pressed her face to his shoulder. Mu Wan leaned on it and heard his shallow sigh.

“That’s what you want.” Liu Qianxiu said, “What I want to give you is much more than what you want.”

The light in her eyes flashed, and Mu Wan became embarrassed after learning it. She hugged him, and her body softened up a little bit.

“You’re nothing like a Taoist at all.” Mu Wan’s voice is soft and sweet, like a strawberry smoothie, “How can there be a Taoist who can talk about love like this.”

The fascinating and lingering disperse a little, leaving only warm and tempting. Mu Wan’s ear moved lightly, and Liu Qianxiu’s lips pressed against it. Every word and every sentence made her earlobe bleed.

“If it weren’t for we are in Taoist temple, now it would be more than just holding you.”

Mu Wan put her hands on his shoulders, her body melted into water, and her heart was numb. She felt Liu Qianxiu’s heartbeat and suddenly thought that she was not the demon, but he was the demon.

Taoist life is dull and repetitive. She didn’t do anything except cultivate and read. As time went on, Mu Wan’s pleasure with novels gradually disappeared. Every day’s pleasure depended only on her own enjoyment. Sometimes, Liu Qianxiu would give her candy to hang around.

The weather is not good these days. It’s cloudy and rainy. After waiting, Mu Wan wakes up from a nap one day, and the sky clears. Before she was fully awake, she stumbled out and walked outside.

Liu Qianxiu, in the main hall, turned around when he heard the door opening. After a while, he saw Mu Wan trotting over. The main hall has been burning incense. Because Mu Wan just woke up, she got choked on sneezing. After that, she pulled a futon and sat down beside Liu Qianxiu. She leaned her head on his shoulders and hugged his waist with both hands.

In the past, she thought Liu Qianxiu was thin, but now she can feel his tight muscles through his thin clothes. Her hair was untied, her black hair was thick, her bushy little head pressed against Liu Qianxiu’s body, and she had a smile.

Her waist is itchy, and she is stirring up a fire. Qing Chan still hasn’t woken up from his afternoon nap, so he can let her be presumptuous first. Liu Qianxiu’s lips are slightly crooked, and he looks down to read the book. The sky outside the door cleared, and the sun shone on the wet ground, making the air cool and refreshing.

“Liu Qianxiu, apart from meditation quietly all day long, do you just sit and read a book?” Mu Wan looked at the “Tao Te Ching” in his hand and asked.

She squinted her eyes while her arms softly clung to his body. It was three o’clock in the afternoon, and the wind was still cold after the rain. She put on her coat, her slender fingers tucked into her coat, and hugged him like two small claws curled up.

Liu Qianxiu’s posture remained unchanged, but he replied with a deep voice.

“Sitting quietly with you.”

Mu Wan closed her eyes. The corners of her lips curled up, and she began to smile.

Putting the book in his hand, he turned to look at Mu Wan in his arms. Her long hair was thick, her bangs pressed against the corner of her eye, and her eyelashes were curled slightly, shadowing her lower eyelids two times.

It was her first time visiting the Taoist temple, and her daily life was a little monotonous. Thinking about the past few days, she should also feel bored. Looking back at the door, the sun is shining, but the white clouds are thick and might rain soon.

“Do you know how to catch fish?” Liu Qianxiu asked her. While he retracted his gaze, he pushed her hair behind her ears.

She tilted her head and looked up at him with surprise, “Can you catch it here?”

“Well, we will make fish for dinner.” Liu Qianxiu said in a shallow voice.

“Good!” Mu Wan immediately agreed.

It doesn’t matter whether he can catch fish or not. At least she doesn’t need to watch Liu Qingxiu meditate in the main hall. Mu Wan immediately got up and ran to the side hall to change her clothes. Liu Qianxiu also got up and took the tools to catch fish.

It was a fish basket made of rattan and a fishing net.

Mu Wan followed Liu Qianxiu to the backyard and asked as he walked, “Can you use this to catch fishes?”

“Yeah.” Liu Qianxiu answered, “It’s still early. We can catch the fishes slowly.”

They were here not mainly to fish, but he wanted to play with her. Mu Wan is happy and follows Liu Qianxiu walking through the backyard door.

The place to catch the fish is at the back mountain. They open the backyard door, go down a path, pass through a bamboo forest, and they will arrive at the valley. There is a long river in the valley called Qingyuan River, a tributary of the Sujiang River, but this is the first time anyone has come here all year round. The Qingyuan River is crystal clear, with pebbles and clean sand at the bottom.

The terrain on this side of Qingyuan Mountain is flat, but the other sides of the valley are very steep. The mountain’s roots are rooted in the Qingyuan River, and trees grow crooked near the river. The branches are thick, and the canopy is vigorous. It casts shade in the Qingyuan River, and the wind is cool, which has the charm of a secluded place for martial arts warriors.

The Qingyuan River has a beach covered with rocks washed away by the river. Mu Wan stepped on the stones barefoot, and the river water covered her feet, making them icy and cool.

A wooden boat was leaning against the river beach. Seeing that the hull was a bit old, Liu Qianxiu reached up and stretched out his hand to pull her up. There were futons on the boat. Mu Wan sat cross-legged and watched Liu Qianxiu pull the boat.

“Do you often come here to catch fish?” Mu Wan asked.

“Qing Chan likes it.” Liu Qianxiu was solitary, so he came with Qing Chan whenever he came here.

However, this time, she accompanied him here.

Mu Wan looked up at him, Liu Qianxiu’s blue water Taoist robe, the distant mountains, and the water blended together like a freehand landscape. Mu Wan stretched out her hand to shake the water’s surface and smiled, “Then why don’t you bring him here this time?” When the boat reached the middle of the river, Liu Qianxiu put down the wood pulp, raised his eyes to look at her, and asked, “Should I go back and call him now?

“No need.” Mu Wan said quickly. The little Taoist boy is adorable, but he is a big light bulb. The innocent child wants to do something with Liu Qianxiu, but she is embarrassed to do it before him.

~ THE EMPEROR’S MIND IS UNPREDICTABLE ~ 

“I thought you Third Imperial Brother would be very busy at the moment.” Yue Wang raised the wine cup in his hand and took a sip, seeming to have some meaning to his words.

Su Wenyuan must have already asked Jin Wang for help…

“I’m just an idle person. What’s there to be busy about? But Fourth Brother, I heard that you saved Mu Yunyao’s mother at Baohua Temple?”

“It’s just a matter of effort.”

Jin Wang narrowed his eyes slightly, and there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes, “I thought that Fourth Imperial Brother’s personality was cold, but to think that it turned out to be so cordial.However, Fourth Imperial Brother’s identity is a prince, countless times more precious than Miss Mu’s mother. In this way, such a dangerous situation makes people think a little bit more.”

There was no expression on Yue Wang’s face, but his gaze turned colder: “What are you thinking, Third Imperial Brother?”

“Is Fourth Imperial Brother being warm-hearted, or is he trying to prevent the beauty from feeling sad?” Jin Wang looked at Yue Wang with a smile, and his eyes were filled with a sharp glint, but he had concealed it well, to the point where it was hard to see through.

Yue Wang turned the wine cup in his hand, and the aura around him became as cold as frost: “Third Imperial Brother, you are overthinking it.”

Jin Wang suddenly broke out into a smile, “Look at what I’m saying, it’s enough to make Fourth Imperial Brother lose the mood to drink. Come, let me toast to Fourth Imperial Brother.”

Yue Wang’s cold face remained the same, “I am truly sorry. My back is injured, and the imperial physician has warned me not to drink alcohol. I will treat Third Imperial Brother to a drink some other time to apologize.”

Jin Wang’s actions faltered slightly, but there was no embarrassment on his face. He said naturally: “I was careless. Then let people serve tea. It’s the same for you and me. We’ll have tea instead of wine.”

The discussion outside continued, and the topic of conversation was still about the Su family.

“Guess who was the one who secretly instigate Old Wang Mama and Old Liu Mama to do something to the Su family’s Young Miss Biao?”

“How could I guess correctly? But maybe it’s the master of the Su family that instigate it.”

“What’s so hard about it? Didn’t you guys see it before? They paid a hundred silver taels to Old Wang Mama’s son, but the maidservant, who give the silver, is serving beside the Old Madam. So tell me, can there be any connection between them?”

“It is truly malicious. Even if the Su family wants to rob Miss Mu’s property, they must remain calm. Why would they make a move the moment she enters the Su family?”

“You don’t understand. It is the same principle as a thief shouting to catch a thief. But Miss Mu treated the Su family as her own relative and came to the Capital in high spirit, happy and unprepared in her heart. This way, they could naturally succeed and not cause anyone to doubt them, wouldn’t they? After all, the conflict was started by the ligitimate daughter of the Meng family at that time, and it could have been her fault to be blamed for the trouble.”

“That makes sense....”

“Isn’t the young miss from the Meng family become the scapegoat?”

“That’s because of her overbearing and domineering attitude. If she was safe and sound, how would she have given others such an opportunity?”

After the news reached the Imperial Palace, the Emperor directly granted Shen Binghuai’s request and made him responsible for investigating this matter.

“Imperial Elder Sister, do you think the Su family really can’t explain this clearly?” After seeing Shen Binghuai, the Emperor went straight to Yuhua Palace to see Grand Princess Yi De. As the two of them played chess, they talked about this matter.

Grand Princess Yi De gently settled down. “In the Capital, great events are occurring every day. On the other hand,for the Su Family, this is the first time something like this has happened. Even though everything has gone smoothly for so many years for the Su family, and their performance was too good, but it actually seemed a bit fake.”

In the past, Su Wenyuan had been very meticulous in his work. But in these past two years, he had gradually leaned towards the Third Prince and no longer paid much attention to do proper business.” The Emperor harrumphed coldly in his heart. The officials below him always thought that he was unaware of their petty tricks. However, he merely did not think about it. The officials in the court only had a few ministers in the Imperial Court. How could he not understand their movements and what was going on?

The Grand Princess Yi De smiled but didn’t say anything. She seemed to focus all her attention on the chessboard. “If Imperial Brother doesn’t concentrate, you will lose.”

The Emperor quickly looked at the chessboard. The black piece in his hand had already been cut apart by the white piece. “It seems that I am really not good at chess. Back then, when Imperial Elder Sister taught me how to play chess, she said that my talent was limited.”

“You still remember all those years?”

“Of course, I remember it clearly. My ability to play chess was taught to me personally by Imperial Elder Sister.”

“Then why don’t you remember that I praised you for your courage and foresight?” Grand Princess Yi De said with a smile as she slowly packed up the chess pieces.

The Emperor helped to pick up a few pieces, and his face gradually turned more dignified. “Imperial Elder Sister, does Fourth Prince plan to not return to Western Guangdong this time around?”

The Grand Princess Yi De’s movements paused, and then she raised her eyes, sighing softly, “That’s right. It is hard for Jun Yue to stay outside for eight years because of the bitter cold in western Guangdong, so he should stay in the Capital and enjoy the blessing himself.”

“Imperial Elder Sister, other people might not know, but you know how bitter my heart is. Every time I look at Fourth Prince, I think of Rou’er ... What happened in those years ... After all, I was the one who let her down....”

The Grand Princess Yi De took the Emperor’s hand and said, “From a husband’s point of view, you have indeed let her down. But you are not only her husband, but also the Emperor of the Dali Dynasty! Therefore, your decision was not wrong, and she can understand it as well!”

The Emperor’s eyes couldn’t help but redden. Twenty years had passed, but when he thought of his queen, the pain still pierced through his heart.

All these years, not only did the guilt in his heart not disappear over time. But instead, it accumulated deeper and deeper, to the point that unable to face Jun Yue every time he saw that child.

“Imperial Brother, you have already avenged Rou’er. She is in the spirit of heaven, so she should rest in peace. But that kid, Jun Yue, is really pitiful. He was arranged by you to be in Western Guangdong for 8 years. It can be said that he has suffered a lot. From today onwards …” 

“Imperial Elder Sister, I understand what you mean, but every time I see Jun Yue, I think of Rou’er, and my heart seems to be on fire. It makes me feel restless and in pain. All my internal organs seem to be on the verge of burning. I really couldn’t face the child ... So I still need to ask Imperial ELder Sister to help me take care of him more....”

The Grand Princess Yi De’s eyes reddened slightly. “Why are you doing this again? Alright, don’t think about the past anymore. We are already old, look forward desperately as we don’t know how long we’ll be able to hold on for. Imperial Elder Sister just hopes that you won’t regret anything.”

“After so many years, there are some things that I can only tell you, Imperial Elder Sister. Fortunately, Imperial Elder Sister is here. Otherwise, my heart would have exploded with depression long ago.”

The Grand Princess Yi De passed a silk handkerchief over and said, “You speak so nicely of the Su family, yet it makes you think of such a sorrowful matter. You’re already an old man, so quickly wipe away your tears to prevent others from laughing.”

The Emperor quickly took it over for a while, then calmed down: “Speaking of the Su family, it’s good to teach them a lesson. It’s also a good time to warn the other ministers in the Imperial Court that I’m not dead yet, so they don’t have to hurry to find a new master to stand in line.”

The Grand Princess Yi De slightly lowered her eyes, and the corner of her lips curved up into a gentle smile. “Do you want another round?”

“Alright, what does Imperial Elder Sister want my third son to do this time....”
