Incurable Chapter 34 Part 2

Chapter 34 (2/2)

Barefoot on the cool marble floor, Mu Wan did not think about it any further. She took out her phone and called Liu Qianxiu.

Her excited voice carried all the way to the quiet Taoist temple.

“Liu Qianxiu, I got the empress role!”

The hand holding the brush paused.

In the main hall of Qingyuan Temple, the scent of ink mingled with sandalwood. Liu Qianxiu set the brush down, and a faint smile surfaced in his clear, calm eyes.

“Mm.”

“Can you come back a little earlier today? If you were in front of me right now, I could hug you, kiss you, and tell you all about it properly.”

Her voice dropped softer toward the end.

“All right,” Liu Qianxiu said.

She chattered happily for a while after that, talking about nothing in particular, until Aunt Wu called her to breakfast and she finally hung up.

After ending the call, Liu Qianxiu picked up the brush again.

Across from him, Qingchan was also holding a brush, practising characters on white paper. There was a streak of ink on his face, leaving one patch of his porcelain-like cheek smudged black like a little kitten.

“Was that Sister Mu Wan?” the child asked, looking at the slight lift at the corner of Liu Qianxiu’s lips.

Liu Qianxiu lifted his gaze. His expression had already smoothed back into calm.

“Yes.”

“Why does she cling to you when she’s happy too?” Qingchan asked, puzzled. Then, still not understanding the mystery, he lowered his head and went back to writing.

Watching the child’s crooked characters, Liu Qianxiu asked quietly, “Did Shifu say when he’d be back?”

“Does Junior Brother Qianxiu want to leave already?” Qingchan looked up, visibly surprised. “Before, you were always reluctant to go. You said this place held the Tao in your heart.”

The Tao in his heart was still here.

The person in his heart was not.

After receiving Li Nan’s call, Mu Wan reread Thousand Threads of Snow from beginning to end at home.

At three that afternoon, she took a taxi to Runze Tower.

The moment she stepped into the audition room, the director seated at the centre looked up, saw her, and smiled.

“We’ve met before.”

“We have, Director Li,” Mu Wan replied with a smile.

Everyone else in the room could tell at once that Director Li was already favourably inclined toward her. After he said, “Begin,” Mu Wan chose a scene and started acting.

Before she had graduated, she had not yet signed with a company and had needed to earn enough to eat. Back then, she had auditioned countless times. Mu Wan’s acting had never been the problem. Even in the smallest supporting role, she could still fully inhabit a scene.

By the time the audition clip ended, Director Li’s smile had grown even broader.

Just like that, the role was hers.

In Thousand Threads of Snow, the empress did not play a major role, but she was closely tied to the main plot, making it difficult to cut her scenes. Once the casting was confirmed, Mu Wan even went to the company afterward and signed the contract together with Li Nan.

Only after all of that was done did she finally let herself feel relieved—and happy.

She called a cab and headed home.

On the ride back, Mu Wan called Liu Qianxiu again. He only told her that Master Xuanqing still had not returned to the temple and likely would not be back that night.

The happiness she had been wrapped in seemed to dim beneath a thin veil.

Looking out at the western sun sinking lower in the sky, Mu Wan ended the call.

By the time she reached Jiayuan Community, it was already six in the evening. The sun had not yet fully set. The sky had only just begun to darken at the edges.

With dinnertime approaching and the workday ending, the snack vendors outside the community had begun setting up their stalls.

Thinking about it carefully, ever since the cats had gone to Liu Qianxiu’s home, Mu Wan had barely eaten from the roadside vendors at all.

Aunt Wu’s cooking from that morning had only been enough to carry her through lunch. After spending the whole afternoon running around, she was hungry. Mu Wan stopped by a few stalls, but the heavy oil and salt no longer stirred the appetite they once would have.

Liu Qianxiu really had spoiled her palate.

In the end, she bought nothing and headed home instead.

It had rained all day again. The edges of the paving stones in the community had lifted, and any careless step would send water splashing up. Mu Wan knew the road well. She walked along the wall, passed out of the little lane, and headed toward the building where she lived.

The old residential blocks stood tall, completely blocking out the sunset. The air carried the smell of wet soil and leaves, mixed with the dense, earthy presence of ordinary life.

Then, as Mu Wan reached the building, something cool and clean cut straight through that atmosphere.

She stopped.

The man had already changed out of his Taoist robes. He wore a linen shirt and trousers, standing tall and lean, solitary and removed from the world. He had been looking up toward the third floor, but when he heard footsteps, he turned and looked over.

The pale calm of his features deepened the moment he saw the woman standing there.

Mu Wan’s heart stumbled once, then began pounding wildly.

She came back to herself, her beautiful eyes lighting at once, and ran straight to him.

“Liu Qianxiu, you’re back.”

She smiled so brightly that it was like clouds parting to let all the light through.

“Mm.”

Turning toward her fully, Liu Qianxiu lowered his eyes and gave a quiet response.

“Didn’t you say your master hadn’t returned—” Mu Wan began, then her eyes brightened all over again. “Were you trying to surprise me?”

She never got to finish.

His hands came up to cup her face. Her chin tipped upward, her heart jumping sharply—and then his kiss fell to her lips.

The softness and warmth of his mouth sent a shiver through her. Mu Wan’s eyes widened, lashes trembling. He seemed to have buried all of his longing into that one kiss. In no time, Mu Wan’s eyes slid shut, and her arms rose to wrap around his shoulders.

By the time he drew back, her heart was in an uproar.

Sunlight filtered through the camphor leaves in front of the building and scattered in fragments across her blurred gaze. Mu Wan looked at Liu Qianxiu, who was breathing faintly and trembling a little.

“This is the surprise,” he said, his voice low, the corner of his lips lifting slightly.

Mu Wan’s body felt almost too weak to support itself. She clung to him, her fingertips burning.

“Liu Qianxiu… will you stay at my place tonight?”

He looked down at her.

All the blood in her body seemed to rush straight into her face. Her cheeks burned. She made a small, soft sound, then licked her lips with the tip of her tongue. Lowering her head and then lifting it again, she said, “My bed… my bed is pretty soft.”

A breeze moved between them, carrying with it the ordinary smell of the neighborhood she had noticed only moments ago.

He looked at her quietly, his gaze deep and unreadable.

Mu Wan felt as if she might drown in his eyes.

She held her breath and waited for his answer, equal parts patient and desperate.

“All right,” he said.

He agreed.

Chapter 34 (1/2)

When Mu Wan returned to the private room, it was still just as lively as before. Nearly everyone at the table, whether by their gaze or the angle of their bodies, was oriented toward Shen Cheng and Mu Qing.

Mu Wan went back to her seat and said quietly to Mi Yu, who was checking her phone, “Sister Yu, I’m heading out first.”

The screen Mi Yu had been looking at showed Tang Qin’s Weibo page. She put her phone away, glanced at Mu Wan, then leaned back against her chair and took a sip from the stemmed glass in her hand.

Her eyes moved once around the room, passing over Mu Qing and Shen Cheng, before she nodded.

“All right. Go ahead.”

Mi Yu was one of the main cast, so she had to stay until the dinner broke up. But Mu Wan was only a minor supporting actress. No one would notice whether she stayed or left.

After thanking Mi Yu, she got up and walked out.

Beside her, Shen Cheng handed Mu Qing a glass of water. Mu Qing lowered her eyes and took a sip. As she did, her gaze flicked toward the door just in time to catch the graceful outline of the woman’s back disappearing beyond it.

The corner of Mu Qing’s mouth curved. Turning to Shen Cheng, she said softly, “Thank you.”

After leaving the Qinghu Business Club, Mu Wan took a cab home.

She had left on Thursday. It was only Saturday now. Just two days, yet a layer of stale dampness had already settled inside the apartment. It smelled nothing like the sandalwood calm of the Taoist temple.

Once home, Mu Wan opened the windows first to air out the place.

The wind in Xiacheng was not as cool as the wind at the temple. Even after the rain, it still carried a sticky heat. After a full day of running around, she was sweaty all over. She stripped off her clothes and stepped into the shower.

Water from the showerhead hit the floor in a steady rhythm. After washing her hair and tying it up, Mu Wan stood beneath the spray and let the water run over her.

She had left the temple in too much of a hurry today and had not brought her suitcase. Tomorrow, she would tell Liu Qianxiu to help bring it back for her.

At the thought, she tilted her neck slightly. Water pooled for a moment in the hollow of her shoulder before sliding away in a clear, crisp line.

She wondered what time he would return tomorrow.

After showering, Mu Wan changed into her nightclothes, shut the windows, dried her hair, and climbed into bed.

The bedroom lights were off. Only the glow from distant buildings reached in through the curtains. The room was so quiet it felt lonely.

Mu Wan turned over once. She could not fall asleep.

She missed Liu Qianxiu terribly.

If she had known sooner that Mu Qing would interfere with this production as well, she would have stayed at the temple. Even if all she did there was sit beside Liu Qianxiu while he read, it would still have been better than this—being alone in an empty room.

Thinking back over everything that had happened tonight, Mu Wan lifted one arm over her head and slowly gathered her thoughts.

Mu Qing had blocked every road in front of her. She was clearly just waiting for Mu Wan to go beg her, so she could feed her own vanity with it.

Mu Wan was not afraid to endure hardship. But Aunt Wu’s implication had been obvious—Mu Qing would likely marry Shen Cheng in the future. Mu Wan, on the other hand, only knew how to make a living by acting. She had no real foundation in anything else, and nothing else would pay as well or come as naturally.

Being caught by the throat like this, handled and squeezed back and forth at someone else’s will, was suffocating.

Still, Mu Wan was not without options.

If she truly could not hold out any longer, then at worst, she would drag everyone down with her. Mu Qing was still too young. She only knew how to satisfy her immediate sense of triumph. Her mother, Yan Mei, had most likely warned her long ago not to provoke Mu Wan at all.

If Mu Wan was pushed far enough, she could expose Mu Qing’s real background. That would cost the Mu family the face they had spent half a lifetime preserving. It might even affect Mu Qing’s chances of marrying into the Shen family.

Of course, that would also drag her own mother’s name into it.

But Mu Wan had always been practical.

Her mother was already gone.

She still had to keep living.

After a full, exhausting day, she lay there thinking for a while before drifting into a hazy sleep.

The next morning, Mu Wan was woken by Aunt Wu knocking at the door.

She climbed out of bed and went to answer it. Aunt Wu came in carrying ingredients for breakfast.

Seeing Mu Wan’s sleepy face, Aunt Wu smiled. “Just got up?”

Still not fully awake, Mu Wan nodded, stepped aside to let her in, then followed her into the kitchen.

Aunt Wu began neatly sorting the ingredients in her hand. Mu Wan leaned against the counter and asked, “Have you not been busy lately?”

Usually, Aunt Wu only came to see her about once a month. Even with her mother’s death anniversary approaching, this was still unusually frequent. The Mu family never liked her much. If Aunt Wu came too often, Mu Wan worried they would blame the old woman for it.

“I’m not busy,” Aunt Wu said. “Mu Qing is away filming, and only Master and Madam are at home.”

Then she glanced over and asked, “What do you want for breakfast?”

Mu Wan looked at the ingredients for a moment, pressed her lips together, and said, “Plain noodle soup.”

Aunt Wu’s eyes paused on her, faintly surprised.

“You never used to like noodles much. This is the second time you’ve asked for plain noodle soup lately.”

In the past, Mu Wan rarely requested specific dishes. Aunt Wu simply cooked whatever she wanted, and Mu Wan ate it. Home-cooked food, even the plainest congee and side dishes, was healthier and tastier than anything outside.

Why had she suddenly started naming dishes now?

Because someone had spoiled her.

With her relationship with Liu Qianxiu as it was now, Mu Wan found herself looking back on all the small moments from before they had officially gotten together. From the beginning, he really had treated her differently.

Sometimes she wanted to ask him when he had started liking her.

But it also felt a little too sentimental.

No matter when it had begun, what mattered was that they were together now.

As she thought of that, her eyes slowly brightened, a smile gathering naturally at their corners.

Aunt Wu watched her eagerly. Mu Wan collected herself, pulled back the smile a little, and said, “My boyfriend made it for me once. Now I’m hooked.”

“Boyfriend?” Aunt Wu seized instantly on the keyword, her whole face lighting up.

“Mm.” Mu Wan nodded with a smile.

Even though Aunt Wu looked delighted, there was no real surprise in her expression. One of Mu Wan’s brows lifted.

“You already guessed?”

“Not exactly guessed.” Aunt Wu stood there smiling broadly. “I overheard Mu Qing talking with Madam. They said you might have a boyfriend now.”

Mu Wan poured herself a glass of water and took a sip, her expression unchanged.

“Oh. They really are so concerned about me.”

“Concerned, my foot,” Aunt Wu said bluntly. “They’re just afraid you might find a man better than Mu Qing’s and come back to outshine them. Their vanity is outrageous.”

A smile tugged at Mu Wan’s mouth.

“He really is better than Shen Cheng.”

Aunt Wu’s eyes widened as if she had just been gifted the ultimate cheat code in a game.

“Really? Which young master’s family is he from?”

“I mean he’s a better person,” Mu Wan corrected her. “And he treats me well. Didn’t you say from the beginning that all I needed was someone willing to eat meals with me?”

“Well, that’s true, but…” Aunt Wu muttered.

It was true, but she still wanted Mu Wan to find someone from an even better family than Shen Cheng’s, so that no one in the Mu family would ever dare bully her again.

“What does he do?” Aunt Wu asked, reluctantly letting go of the fantasy.

“He’s a surgeon,” Mu Wan said.

She did not mention the Taoist cultivation part. Ordinary people did not really understand Taoists. Most of them simply lumped Taoists together with monks. In truth, Taoists were far freer—they could marry, fall in love, live like any other person.

“That’s not bad.” Aunt Wu felt a little relieved. Being a doctor is a good profession. At the very least, they would not have to worry about food or clothing in the future, and life would be comfortable.

But after that relief came a flicker of dissatisfaction. Aunt Wu looked Mu Wan up and down and asked unwillingly, “Just a doctor?”

The old woman stood there as if she were digging for treasure, her eyes bright with hope.

Mu Wan set down her cup, smiled, and kindly shattered that hope.

“Yes. Just a doctor.”

Aunt Wu turned back to cooking.

Mu Wan smiled and was just about to go take another rinse when her phone rang in the bedroom. Thinking it might be Liu Qianxiu, she hurried in to get it.

Instead, the screen showed Li Nan’s name.

She accepted the call.

“Hello, boss.”

“This afternoon at four. Go audition at Runze Tower, Room 1306.”

So the company had not given up on her after all. They were already trying to find her auditions.

Standing in the bedroom doorway, Mu Wan looked out at the heavy, overcast sky and felt a strange weariness.

She had no problem with auditions. But even if she won a part, it might still be snatched away afterwards. As long as her conflict with Mu Qing remained unresolved, she probably would not be working much anytime soon.

“Boss…” Mu Wan began, intending to explain.

But Li Nan laughed before she could continue.

“It’s for the empress role in Thousand Threads of Snow. Wasn’t that one you wanted from the start? You don’t need to worry about the audition. It’s basically just for the director to look you over in person. The contract has already been sent.”

After Li Nan said that, there was silence on the line.

“Mu Wan?”

“Got it,” she replied at last, finally snapping back.

“All right. Prepare well. They start shooting next week. The character has a strong setup. If you do this role well, you won’t have to worry about finding work afterward.”

He hung up.

At the very moment when she had felt trapped with nowhere left to go, Li Nan’s call had suddenly opened everything up again.

This absolutely could not have been Mu Qing’s doing.

If it were Mu Qing, she would never have let Mu Wan get a role with such a strong character setup.

~ DESPERATE TRICK ~ 

“Suying had told me everything. Are you going to keep it from me?” Zhou Shiyun said with dissatisfaction, “I will return to Beijing now. You should take good care of Eldest Brother first.”

“No need, Second Young Master... This matter... “Jiang Yan stopped talking. He should have clarified it, but he remembered Zhou Zhengxian’s statement, “Don’t disclose the real situation to anyone. Otherwise, you will deal with the family law.” After that, he forced himself to swallow the words abruptly.

Forget about it. The Second Young Master hasn’t returned to Beijing for a long time. The Old Madam and the Eldest Young Master miss him and want to see him, so they let him come home.

“The Second Young Master, then you... come back.”

“Okay, I’ll hang up first.” Zhou Shiyun pressed off his mobile phone.

Seeing him hang up, Su Jinbei quickly asked, “What’s the situation now.”

Zhou Shiyun frowned, “Eldest Brother always hides his physical condition. Let’s talk about it when we get back.”

“Well, I have already bought the fastest ticket. Let’s go quickly.”

Zhou Shiyun nodded as he looked at her and said, “I’m sorry. I asked you to run around with me.”

“Eldest Brother helped me a lot, and I am also very concerned about him.” Su Jinbei pulled Zhou Shiyun to walk forward, “Hurry up, or we will miss the plane later.”

Zhou Shiyun pursed his lips and quickened his pace.

It was already dawn when they arrived in Beijing. The two didn’t call anyone to pick them up, so they took a taxi to the Zhou family’s mansion.

“Second Young Master, Miss Su.” Seeing the two of them, the servant of the Zhou family greeted them quickly.

Zhou Shiyun didn’t stop his steps and hurried forward. Su Jinbei put Wutong down and asked the servants to look after it.

The steward of the Zhou family just came to face him. When he saw Zhou Shiyun, his face was surprised, “The Second Young Master, why are you coming in the middle of the night...”

“Where is Eldest Brother.”

“In his room.”

“What’s his situation now.”

The steward hurriedly said, “The Eldest Young Master woke up once, and the Old Madam has been to see him.”

“What about now?”

“The Eldest Young Master’s room is not allowed to enter. He said that he would wait for Miss Lin to come.”

“Miss Lin.” Zhou Shiyun was taken aback.

“Yes. The Eldest Young Master only said that let Miss Lin pass when she came.”

Zhou Shiyun didn’t ask much. They just nodded and walked forward.

After a while, they all stopped in front of Zhou Zhengxian’s room. At this time, Jiang Yan was the only one standing in front of Zhou Zhengxian’s room.

“Open the door.”

Jiang Yan glanced at the steward and said, “You go down first.”

“Yes.”

Only Zhou Shiyun and Su Jinbei were left in front of the door. Jiang Yan turned around and knocked on the door, “Eldest Young Master, it’s the Second Young Master...”

There was a long silence inside. After a long time, the door finally opened.

Zhou Zhengxian stood behind the door, “Why are you back?”

Zhou Shiyun and Su Jinbei were stunned when they looked at Zhou Zhengxian, “Aren’t you...”

Zhou Zhengxian, “Come in.”

Su Jinbei and Zhou Shiyun looked at each other and went in.

“Sit down.” Zhou Zhengxian picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip with a plain expression.

Su Jinbei looked stunned. What? Isn’t Zhou Zhengxian seriously ill? Not only is he not sick, but he is in better condition than when she saw him. He was in a wheelchair before...

“Are you all right? “Su Jinbei couldn’t help asking.

“En, I am all right.” Zhou Zhengxian said, “Who told you, and why you came back suddenly?”

“Suying said you were seriously ill. Her family thought so, too.” Zhou Shiyun frowned, “But you...”

“I thought you were still in Guizhou, so I didn’t especially inform you.” Zhou Zhengxian looked at him, “I have my own consideration of this matter. Just pretend you don’t know when you go out later.”

“...”

“It just happens that you haven’t been back for a long time, so you should go home and see grandma.” Zhou Zhengxian said, “You go and rest first. We will talk about it tomorrow.”

Zhou Shiyun looked speechless, “Brother, you are scaring people.”

Zhou Zhengxian raised his brows and said calmly, “How do you know?”

“...”

At this moment, Jiang Yan opened the door and came in. “Eldest Young Master, the steward said Miss Lin is here!”

Zhou Zhengxian groaned, turned his head, and said to the two people in his room, “You go out first.”

Su Jinbei blinked. If she saw it correctly, Zhou Zhengxian smiled when he heard Miss Lin’s name. It’s not the usual gentle smile, but...the smile of a wicked scheme?

Su Jinbei, who was full of doubts, was taken out by Zhou Shiyun and waited for Mis Lin in the hallway. She seemed to have realized this when she met Miss Lin.

The head of the Zhou family is not playing a desperate trick, right?

Su Jinbei and the woman who came towards her looked at each other. She had neat, short hair, a slender figure, and an outstanding appearance. However, she gives the impression of a lonely person. She was a woman with a very individual character...

When Su Jinbei thought about it, they had already brushed past each other, but she didn’t miss a hint of anxiety in the woman’s eyes. She seemed very worried about Zhou Zhengxian.

“Zhou Shiyun, your elder brother... is he chasing a girl?”

Zhou Shiyun paused, “...How is it possible.”

~ SU YOU IS GETTING BETTER ~ 

Not long after Mu Yunyao returned to Jiyue Pavilion, she saw Su You walk in.

Compared to before, Su You’s body seemed weak and fragile, but her spirit was much better, especially her pair of eyes, which were especially bright and full of spirit.

Mu Yunyao came over with a smile, “Greetings, Elder Sister Su You.”

Su You’s face reddened, and she looked a little embarrassed: “Little Sister Yunyao, don’t be so polite, I … … I’m here to visit you. Why do you look so much thinner than before? Do you not eat on the hunting ground?”

Mu Yunyao brought her into the room. “It’s nothing. I will be fine after a two-day rest. Is everything going well for Elder Sister Su You?”

“I… I’m fine. Did you miss me at the hunting ground?” After Su You asked this question, she couldn’t help but twist her fingers and look nervously at Mu Yunyao.

Mu Yunyao was stunned for a moment, then smiled, “That’s right, I often think of Elder Sister Su You. How did Elder Sister know?”

“No wonder I kept sneezing these past two days. Mother said that someone must miss me and think about me. It’s just that you were so bored and thinking about me all day.” Hearing Mu Yunyao’s answer, Su You’s eyes lit up, and her expression became even more gorgeous.

Mu Yunyao felt that she was extremely adorable with this kind of awkward personality, “How come I didn’t sneeze on the hunting grounds? Could it be that Elder Sister Su You didn’t think of me?”

“I… I naturally also thought about you. Maybe I didn’t think about you as strongly as you think about mer.” The look in Su You’s eyes became brighter, making people want to protect her carefully.

Mu Yunyao’s eyes couldn’t help but curve as she pulled Su You’s hand to carefully check her pulse. “How do you feel these past two days?”

“It’s pretty good.” Su You pursed her lips and smiled, a slight dimple appearing on her cheek.

Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but stretch out her finger and poke at the dimple on Su You’s cheek. Looking at her wide-eyed and dazed appearance, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “You have to eat more. Boost your white and fat body, so this dimple will feel even better when I poke at the dimple.”

Su You covered her face with her hands, her face flushed red. She glared at Mu Yunyao with puffed-up cheeks, “You … You …” She didn’t say anything for a long time.

“Hm, this time when I went to the hunting grounds, I got some pretty good leather for you. You go ahead and pick them. I’ll get the embroidery woman from Ni Yun Fang to cut some of your clothes.”

“Do you want to bribe me with a few pieces of leather?” Su You was still sulky and fuming, but after she finished speaking, as she was afraid that Mu Yunyao would really be angry and ignore hir, she raised her eyes to observe her expression.

“Then how do you want to mer bribe you so that you won’t be angry?”

I heard from my mother that October fifteenth is your birthday and the day you are coming of age. How about I help you hold your hairpin on the day of the ceremony? When I reach the coming of age ceremony, it just happened that I get sick and feeling unwell. Therefore, we couldn’t hold a banquet, and only my mother helped me comb my hair. Now, I had finally caught up with your coming of age ceremony, so I want to follow the liveliness and excitement.”

The Second Madam and Su Qing walked in hand. When they heard this, they couldn’t help but laugh, “I’m afraid that won’t do!”

The Second Madam came forward and pulled her to sit down, “I just came from your grandmother’s place, and your grandmother said that Yunyao’s coming of age ceremony should be greatly organized. Your health has improved a little over the past two days. Thus, you can make up your coming of age ceremony with Yunyao. Anyway, you are just little older than Yao’er. The two sisters do it together, which is also seems particularly lively.”

“Really?” Su You’s eyes lit up, her face was full of joy, “That’s great. Little Sister Yunyao, did you hear that? We can have coming of age ceremony together.”

Seeing Su You’s happiness, the Second Madam’s smile became even more genuine: “The coming of age ceremony rules are very complicated. Just a whole set of etiquette will take about two hours. So, you must obediently drink the medicine on time and take care of your body well these two days. Don't be unable to hold on at that time and disturb your Little Sister Yunyao.”

“Mother, don’t worry. I’ll definitely be very obedient in the next two days.” Her body had gotten better, and Su You’s personality was more lively than before. She had been acting like an idiot in front of Second Madam all day long, causing the West Courtyard to be full of cheers and laughter.

“Since we have decided to make the coming of age ceremony big event, we should start preparing for it now. The residence needs to be set up, the clothes to be worn that day, the hairpin, the clasp, and the hair crown be worn must be arranged the best. The guest of honor must be invited in advance, and we have to be very cautious about choosing the guest of honor. Is there anyone in Yunyao’s heart? ”

“I’ve only just arrived in the Capital, so I don’t know many people. I can’t think of anyone suitable, so I’ll have to trouble Second Aunt to put in more effort.”

“That’s alright. You don’t need to worry. I’ll definitely make sure everything is handled thoroughly.”

Mu Yunyao looked at Jin Lan at the side. “Have you taken out the leather I brought from the hunting grounds?”

“Miss, they’re all in the room downstairs.”

Mu Yunyao looked at Su You, “Elder Sister Su You, quickly go down and pick one, or else I will put away and won’t give it to you anymore.”

“Since you’re so stingy, I’ll definitely pick a few more so that your heart will ache for them.” Su You stood up and said. “Jin Lan, quickly take me down to have a look.”

The Second Madam’s heart moved, she raised her head to look at Su You: “Your Little Sister Yunyao has a good family background. If you don’t choose carefully, she will feel bad.”

“Don’t worry, Mother. I will definitely choose the best ones.”

When Jin Lan took Su You and left, the Second Madam Mu looked at Mu Yunyao with a slightly sunken expression. “You intentionally wanted to let You’er go. Do you have something to say to me?”

Mu Yunyao slightly nodded her head, “Second Aunt, what do you think about grandmother meant by arrangemen like this?”

The Second Madam was stunned for a moment. After hearing this news, she was only happy and didn’t think about it too much. But now that Mu Yunyao had reminded her, she also felt that the matter had been brought up too suddenly, “I didn’t exactly guess what she meant. I was originally only thinking of making Su You content and happy....”

“Second Aunt, how did Grandmother know that Elder Sister Su You’s health was better?”

The Second Madam’s heart tightened, and her face paled. “This … Perhaps she has heard of some news. After all, everyone in residence has eyes.”

“Second Aunt has already guessed why Elder Sister Su You’s body became like this, but now she’s no longer take more precautions. Could it be that you wants to waste all your previous efforts?” Mu Yunyao frowned, and her tone carried a sense of coldness.

The Second Madam hurriedly grabbed Mu Yunyao’s hand with a face full of anxiety. “Yunyao, you have to help me think of a way. I’ve really gotten a bit carried away these past few days. I want to suppress the main house in case something goes wrong, and there will be some omissions in prevention....”

Mu Yunyao’s tone softened, “I know that Second Aunt is happy that Elder Sister Su You’s body has improved, but you have to be on guard against people. If you don’t take precautions, will Elder Sister’s body be able to withstand the torment?”

“Yunyao, listening to you talk like this, my heart filled with anxiety, so what should I do?”

~ THE RESTLESS EAST COURTYARD ~ 

Mu Yunyao had just finished eating and was about to rest when she heard Jin Qiao say that the East Courtyard was in an uproar.

“Do you know the reason for the ruckus?”

“In reply to Miss, it sounded like the Eldest Young Miss was very ill and had been burning in a daze. When she goes back, the Eldest Madam saw this scene. She felt distressed and blamed the Second Madam for purposely treating the Eldest Young Miss harshly when she was in charge of the house. Naturally, the Second Madam refused to comply. She even took out a list of the medicinal ingredients and recited the details of the meal that had been sent to the East Courtyard during this period of time to the Eldest Madam… The Eldest Madam did not believe her, saying that she wanted to seek the Old Madam to seek justice. Now, they are in Ning He Garden.”

Mu Yunyao chuckled, “Don’t worry about it. Just close the courtyard gate and rest well.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Jiyue Pavilion was completely silent, but the other places were in an uproar.

The Eldest Madam spoke aggressively while the Second Madam wiped tears of grievance from her eyes. It wasn't until the second half of the night that Old Madame gave each of them a beating and was temporarily calmed down.

The next day, Mu Yunyao stood up early and paid her respects to the Old Madam with Su Qing. When she arrived at Ning He Garden, she found out that the Old Madam had a headache. She couldn’t get up from her bed, and she didn’t want to see anyone.

Mu Yunyao raised her head to look at the courtyard gate and worriedly said, “Wen Mama, you all must take good care of Grandmother. This headache is quite serious. You can’t let her take it on her own. If it’s always bad, you might as well ask an Imperial Physician to come over and take a look.”

“Yes, this servant will definitely pass on the message to the Old Madam.”

Mu Yunyao smiled and held onto Su Qing’s arm as she walked back.

When Wen Mama returned to the courtyard, she relayed these words to the Old Madam.

The Old Madam, who had been resting with her eyes closed, slowly opened them. Anger flared up in her eyes as she said, “Get someone to call Wenyuan over.”

Very soon, Su Wenyuan arrived. When he saw the Old Madam, his face was full of guilt. “Greetings to Mother. It’s all because This Son is not good and made Mother furious. It was so late, and we even caused a ruckus last night.”

“There’s no need to talk about pleasantries between Mother and Son. Right now, the most important thing is to settle Mu Yunyao’s matter first.” Mu Yunyao had actually gotten involved with Yue Wang and Grand Princess Yi De in the hunting grounds. Such a development made her feel uneasy and fearful from the bottom of her heart. She shouldn’t have a bright future. Because the more brilliant she was, the more dangerous the Su family would face.

Su Wenyuan couldn’t help but fall silent. After a long while, he finally said, “Things are getting more and more complicated. Even if we want to control it, we might not be able to to control.”

The Old Madam let out a deep breath. “Who would have thought that a young lady raised in the countryside would have the power to enter the eyes of the Emperor and even make Grand Princess Yi De look at her in a different light?”

Su Wenyuan sighed as well, “Currently, Grand Princess Yi De treats Mu Yunyao extremely well. She might even recognize her as her granddaughter. In that case, we can’t touch her even more. If we knew earlier, even if we had to take the risk at the beginning, we should have sent people to deal with them secretly.”

At first, they thought once Su Qing and Mu Yunyao arrived in the Capital and entered the Su family, even if they were sheep entering a tiger’s den, they would have no chance of escaping. However, no one expected that once they returned, they would cause chaos in the Su family as soon as they came back. Especially, Mu Yunyao was like a stone. They thought that she didn’t have great ability, but they didn’t expect that as long as she dared to speak her mind, she would be able to destroy a mouthful of their teeth.

The Old Madam twirled the Buddhist beads in her hands and creased her eyebrows in a headache: “Currently, Mu Yunyao has an overwhelming presence. In addition, the Fourth Prince expressing his affection for her, we absolutely cannot face her head on. We can only think of a way to deal with her slowly in the dark.”

“Mother, I thought that my wife would get rid of her, but who would have thought that they would not get even the slightest bit of advantage? Even Yuyi had suffered greatly. I wonder if Mother has any ingenious plan to solve this problem in her heart?”

“The Eldest Daughter-in-law has always been smooth sailing the entire way. She normally wouldn’t have much to show for it, but now she gradually loses her sense of propriety. You have to give her a good beating. If she continues like this, it will destroy Yuyi and Qingwu. As for Mu Yunyao, I have an idea....”

The Old Madam slightly closed her eyes, and the Buddhist beads in her hands moved even faster and faster, “October fifteenth is Mu Yunyao’s birthday. On that day, she will has a coming of age ceremony, and I will prepare to start a big event for her. It just so happens that Su You hasn’t done it because Su You’s body isn’t has good health, so let the two sisters do it together.”

“Mother, it’s not a problem for you to made coming of age ceremony event for them. It’s just that Su You’s body is too weak. Do you think Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law would agree?”

“Is it up to her whether she agrees or not, but we still have the final say?” The Old Madam opened her eyes and looked even calmer, “I will take care of this matter, so you don’t need to worry about it. As for Qingwu … had the Sixth Princess taken a fancy to him?”

Su Wenyuan nodded his head, “Yes, and it caused a huge disturbance. Zhang Wan from the Great Scholar’s residence is heavily injured and still unconscious by now.”

“The Eldes Daughter-in-law is confused, so you can’t be confused. In a while, get Qingwu to prepare a gift and personally visit the Great Scholar’s residence later. Our Su family must not bear the reputation of treachery.”

“Mother, Zhang Wan is seriously injured. We don’t know whether she could be cured or not? In serious comparison, the Sixth Princess is more beneficial to our Su family.”

The Old Madam frowned. “You have been a court official all day. Don’t you know how to be flexible? Our Su family cannot go back on our word, so we can only have the Zhang family take the initiative and give up the marriage. The initial reason we had arranged this marriage for Qingwu and Zhang Wan was because Great Scholar Zhang can be regarded as Qingwu’s teacher. He also has quite great influence in the Imperial Court. But these days are not the same as in the past. Since we have a better candidate, we can’t delay Qingwu’s future. Moreover, who knows if that Zhang Wan will be able to survive or not?”

“Mother, annulling the engagement is a big matter. Would the Zhang Family be willing to do so?”

“It doesn’t matter if the Zhang family is willing or not. The important thing is how the Sixth Princess does it, the Emperor dotes heavily on her, so it’s hard to avoid her becoming somewhat arrogant. If she comes out to be the villain, then it’s fine, but the Zhang family still dares to be dissatisfied with the Emperor?”

Su Wenyuan was still worried. “Mother, you know Qingwu’s character very well. That child values his feelings and keeps his promises. I’m afraid that he will reject the Sixth Princess and won’t be willing to give up on the marriage with Zhang Wan.”

“Don’t worry about it. Many things don’t come to an end if you insist. Qingwu will know how to choose. After you go back, you will comfort him, and also tell Yuyi to let her recuperate peacefully during this time and not to continue fooling around. No matter how foolish she is, if she doesn’t know her limits any longer and doesn’t know how to behave, our Su family won’t allow it either. She wasn’t the only young lady in the Su family. Yaxian saved the Sixth Princess. Yajing and Yaling have good appearances and are very obedient. If she still doesn’t know her importance, don’t blame me for not cherishing her.”

“Mother, you don’t need to worry. I’ll definitely teach Yuyi when I get back.”

“Mm, then go back.”After Su Wen Yuan bowed and left, the Old Madam snapped the beads in her hands and allowed the round beads to fall to the ground.

Wen Mama hurried over and picked up the Buddhist beads. “Old Madam, aren’t these your favorite strings of Buddhist beads?”

“In this world, one cannot avoid the inevitable. Wen Mama, go and get two volumes of the Buddhist scriptures. Tonight, I will transcribe them and pray for my granddaughter’s blessings.”

Wen Mama’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. “The Old Madam hasn’t had a good rest in the past two days. If you’re going to pray for Fifth Miss’s blessings, it won’t be too late if Madam do it later.”

“If I order you go, you will go. This can also be considered as doing grandmother’s last bit of kindness.” The Old Madam looked at the scattered Buddhist beads, a cold glint flashing across her eyes. Su You had received support from the Su family since birth. She had spent much silver for beautiful dresses and precious medicinal herbs, so it’s time for Su You to repay the Su family’s upbringing.

Wen Mama’s heart trembled even more violently, but she didn’t dare show it. After lowering her head in response, she slowly withdrew.

~ RETURNING TO THE CAPITAL, SU YUYI WAS SERIOUSLY ILL ~ 

Mu Yunyao slightly raised her eyes. Seeing that Su Yaxian wasn’t willing to speak up and tell the truth, she didn’t try to force it out, “Cousin Yaxian’s injuries are quite serious. I’ll get someone to bring some easily digest congee over, and Cousin will be better off after eating it. The medicine will be ready later, so someone will send it over.”

“Little Sister Yunyao, was you who took care of me last night?”

“Your injuries are quite severe, and you don’t have a maid by your side. It’s not convenient for the Imperial Physician to help you with your wounds, so I’m the only one who can help.”

“Thank you very much.” Su Yaxian lowered her eyes. She had a complicated feeling in her heart. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to tell Mu Yunyao the truth, but it involved the Sixth Princess, Su Qingwu, and Zhang Wan. She was afraid that if she said something wrong, it would lead to a fatal disaster.

“It’s just a small matter. Cousin, you don’t have to worry about it. Just take care of your injuries, and don’t ever start burning again.”

“Alright.”

Su Yajing and Su Yaling had already gotten up and returned to this tent. Seeing this, Mu Yunyao started to leave.

Some people had already started loading their luggage onto the carriages, and the guards had begun packing up the tent nearby. It seemed that they would have to return to the Capital as planned today.

Jin Lan helped Mu Yunyao get some water to freshen up, and Si Shu went out to inquire about the news.

After Mu Yunyao finished eating, the Si Shu rushed back, “Miss, I heard that Miss Zhang is not well, has been groggy since long ago, and hasn’t woken up. Moreover, last night, the Sixth Princess didn’t go after some white fox, but she rather saw a wolf cub. She thought it was interesting and shot him. Unexpectedly, she would attract a pack of wolves. Miss Zhang actually shouldn’t have been injured so badly. Eldest Young Master had already put her and the Sixth Princess on horseback, but he didn’t think that … The Sixth Princess pushed her down. ”

Mu Yunyao frowned, “No wonder when I asked Cousin Yaxian today, she faltered and was unwilling to speak the truth. She only said that she couldn’t remember clearly, so it turned out that there was still this problem.”

Jin Lan was full of surprise when she heard this. “That Sixth Princess is too audacious. Miss Zhang is the direct descendant of the Great Scholar’s residence. Furthermore, she is engaged to Eldest Young Master. The marriage is about to end in a few months. If people were know that she push people away like this...”

“Jin Lan!” Mu Yunyao opened her mouth to stop her, “Treat these words as if you’ve never heard of them before. Don’t leak a single word, otherwise even I wouldn’t be able to protect you.” The Emperor would definitely ban the actions of the Sixth Princess, and Zhang Wan could only be injured to protect the Sixth Princess.

Jin Lan hurriedly replied, “Yes,this servant understand. Please rest assured, Miss.”

Mu Yunyao nodded, “Let’s start packing up. We should be leaving soon.”

After about an hour, everyone packed their luggage and prepared to leave. As soon as Mu Yunyao came to the carriage, she saw the pale-faced Su Qingwu approaching her. He was bloody, and his eyes were much deeper than before: “Yunyao, how about Yaxian?”

“Cousin Yaxian’s shoulder is severely injured. However, if she well rested, it should not leave any traces behind. If Cousin Qingwu is really worried about her, you can go visit her yourself.” Why come here and listen to her?

Su Qingwu opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but he then saw the Eldest Madam walking over, her face filled with an anxious look. “Qingwu, why are you here? Why aren’t you accompanying the Sixth Princess?”

“Mother, the Sixth Princess has been taken care of.”

“However, the Sixth Princess was quite frightened. Since you weren’t by her side, her entire body started to tremble. She was expressly afraid, so it would be best for you to go over and guard her.” After the Eldest Madam finished speaking, she glared fiercely at Mu Yunyao. This slut had harmed Su Yuyi, so she definitely couldn’t let her ruin Qingwu’s future.

Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but sneer, “Since Eldest Aunt and Cousin have something to talk about, then I’ll get on the carriage first.” Then, she held Jin Lan’s hand and walked up.

The Eldest Madam glanced at Su Qingwu warningly. “Qingwu, go and do what you have to do.”

“Mother, Zhang Wan is seriously injured. According to etiquette, you should go to visit her.”

The Eldest Madam’s face stiffened. She paused for a moment before nodding her head. “I understand. Your father and I will naturally take care of the matter regarding Zhang Wan. You just have to concentrate on taking care of the Sixth Princess.”

Su Qingwu took a deep breath as a look of struggle flashed in his eyes. In the end, he chose to endure. After bowing to the Eldest Madam, he then walked towards the direction of the Sixth Princess’ carriage.

Mu Yunyao watched Su Qingwu leave through the gap of the carriage’s curtain, her smile becoming more and more mocking, “The eldest son of the aristocratic family, which attracted countless women to sought after. His appearance is bright and beautiful, but in reality, he is just a chess piece to the Eldest Madam’ to achieve her ambitions. He can only be manipulated and managed by her. It is really sad to the extreme.

Perhaps it was because the Sixth Princess was injured and couldn’t suffer any bumps, so the speed of her return was quite slow. When she finally managed to enter the city, it was already the middle of the night.

Mu Yunyao rubbed her forehead sleepily and yawned. She hadn’t slept well last night, and after bumping around in the carriage for so long today, she really couldn’t take it anymore. However, thinking about how she could see her mother once she got home, she felt worth it.

The door of the Su family’s residence was opened, and Second Madam and her entourage were waiting at the entrance. When she saw Su Wenyuan and the Eldest Madam, she quickly went welcome them with anxious expressions on their faces. “Eldest Brother, Eldest Sister-in-law has finally returned. Yuyi is stubborn. Since all of you left, she have been playing a temper and refused to drink her medicine, which has implicated the wound on her arm. At the moment, she is burning so badly. Even Mother is worried and suffering, and she was letting Mother Wen is watch over Yuyi. Therefore, you guys should quickly go in and take a look.”

“What?” Hearing that her precious daughter was seriously ill, the Eldest Madame quickly walked towards the East Courtyard.

“I’ll have to trouble Second Sister-in-law to take care of the residence.”

“Eldest Brother, you’re too polite. Let’s go take a look at Yuyi first.”

When Su Wenyuan left, Second Madam looked at Mu Yunyao. Although her expression didn’t change much, there was a trace of a smile in her eyes. “Yunyao, you’ve returned. How was your trip?”

“It’s not bad. I made Second Aunt worry.”

“The one who is truly worried is Sister Su Qing. She hasn’t had enough to eat these few days. Let’s you go back quickly.”

Mu Yunyao nodded. Seeing Second Madam’s expression, she knew that her mother was safe and sound. “Thank you for taking care of me, Second Aunt.”

The Second Madam patted Mu Yunyao’s hands, “What are you saying? Isn’t it only right to take care of each other?” Since Mu Yunyao helped her treat Su You, she naturally had to take care of Su Qing.

Mu Yunyao smiled faintly and bowed to Second Madam Gu before walking towards Jiyue Pavilion.

Su Qing was already waiting at the entrance of Jiyue Pavilion. Upon seeing Mu Yunyao come back, she quickly sized her up, “Yao’er has lost weight. I’m sure she didn’t eat well in the hunting grounds.”

Mu Yunyao immediately stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Su Qing’s arm. With a coquettish tone, she said, “That’s right. It’s windy and sunny outside. Since I can’t eat mother’s food, I’ll naturally become skinnier. I won’t dare to leave so easily in the future.”

Su Qing brought her inside and said lovingly, “I cooked you an Eight Treasures Rice, which is what you love to eat. Quickly eat some, then go wash up and rest.” “Alright.” Returning to her mother’s side, Mu Yunyao felt as if her breathing was even better than that outside. She ate half a bowl of rice in a cheerful mood.

~ TAKE CARE OF SU YAXIAN ~ 

The Eldest Madam’s pupils constricted. “What nonsense are you spouting?”

“Cousin Yaxian was injured to save the Sixth Princess, right?” Mu Yunyao looked at Su Yaxian. Although she looked gentle and demure, she had an idea in her heart, unlike Su Yajing and Su Yaling, who had lost their temper after being completely taught by their Eldest Madam. She must have her own purpose to get involved with Su Qingwu and the Sixth Princess’s matter.

“What about it?” The Eldest Madam frowned as she looked warily at Mu Yunyao.

Mu Yunyao sneered, “There is a big difference between saving the sixth princess from serious injury and sacrificing her life to save the sixth princess.” If she sacrificed Su Yaxian, she could gain more benefits for the Su family. Mu Yunyao believed that the Eldest Madam would definitely do so without hesitation.

“You … What are you talking about? You suspect that I will intentionally caused Yaxian’s death in order to gain credit?”

“I was just casually saying it. Eldest Aunt, no need to be so excited.” Mu Yunyao lowered her eyes and didn’t look at her. “The Imperial Physician had just warned me that I must take good care of Cousin Yaxian tonight. I’ll stay here to accompany her. Eldest Aunt is also exhausted today, so you’ll go back and rest first.”

Su Yaxian would be entering the Palace of the First Prince’s Place in the future. Moreover, this person was not bad, and she could not let the Eldest Madam bring disaster down like this. Now, the Eldest Madam was becoming more and more lacking in manners, as if she possessed for the benefit of the Su family.

“There’s no need for you. Who knows if you have ill intentions?”

“Si Shu, send Eldest Aunt out.” Mu Yunyao was too lazy to continue interacting with her, so she directly gave the order.

The Eldest Madam widened her eyes and looked at Mu Yunyao in anger. “What are you trying to do? Did you really think that you would be able to go against the rules and do as you pleased just because you were chosen by Grand Princess Yi De? Why don’t you look at your own identity....”

“Eldest Aunt.” Mu Yunyao slightly raised her voice as the imposing aura around her body continued, “The disease will start from the mouth, and disaster will start from the mouth. As the Madam of the Su family’s residence, you should understand the principle of being cautious with every word and action. Don’t let other people saw jokes in the Su family. Go back and have a rest in your tent. You have to take care of cousin Yuyi when you get back to the residence.”

The Eldest Madam was so angry that her entire body was trembling, but she didn’t dare make a ruckus. After all, the various tents aren’t far from each other, so if they really were to make a ruckus, then it would really be a great loss of face. “Mu Yunyao, a flower never turned bloom in a hundred days, and it didn’t have thousands of days of opportunities to live. At present, you are proud, act openly, and have no scruples. But don’t forget, you won’t be this proud forever. When you fall, I’ll definitely let you know how to conduct yourself!”

Mu Yunyao raised the corner of her lips nonchalantly. “Then I’ll thank Eldst Aunt. Si Shu, send Eldest Aunt out.”

“No need!” With that, the Eldest Madam turned around and left with a cold snort. It seemed like the Eldest Madam had been thoroughly angered by her and had even forgotten her rationality when she saw her. She only thought of tit for tat, but she didn’t think about her current situation. Once she returned to the Su family, she would truly understand just what kind of situation she was in and really realize what it was like to lose power.

After a long while, Su Yajing and Su Yaling slowly walked inside the tent. Their clothes were thin, and they were trembling with fear, “Cousin Yunyao, the weather outside is too cold, we ...”

Mu Yunyao stood up with a smile on her face, “It’s my negligence. My two cousin’s going my tent tonight to have a rest. Cousin Yaxian is severely injured, so I have to be careful about burning up the whole night. I’ll guard here.”

“This… Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?”

Mu Yunyao laughed. “We’re both sisters. What’s wrong with that? I’ll get Jin Lan to send you there.”

“Alright.” Su Yajing and Su Yaling were timid. When they saw Su Yaxian covered in blood previously, they were already scared out of their wits. If they stayed in this tent tonight, they would not be able to sleep at all.

The Imperial Physician at the Sixth Princess still went in and out until midnight, then gradually calmed down.

Jin Lan brought in a cup of tea and placed it beside Mu Yunyao’s hand. “This servant found a soft couch and has already tidied it up. Miss, you should rest for a while.”

Mu Yunyao raised her teacup and took a sip. She stood up and walked to the bedside to examine Su Yaxian’s forehead and let out a sigh of relief. “The fever has already subsided, so I think she’ll be fine if I don’t keep an eye on her.”

“It’s all thanks to Miss helping out with acupuncture. If we only relied on the Imperial Physician’s prescription, I’m afraid it wouldn’t have worked so quickly.”

Si Shu walked in with a slightly cold aura. “Miss, the Sixth Princess is already fine. It’s said that her back is injured, but it’s not that serious. However, I heard that Miss Zhang’s face was scratched, and her legs were bitten off by a wild wolf, so the situation is not looking good.”

“Didn’t we already clean up this area?” Where did the wolf pack come from?”

“It seemed that they have come from the nearby mountain. The guards did not notice it. There are many killed prey in the woods at night. Since they did not pick them up in time, the smell of blood was quite heavy, leading the wolves over. No one would have thought that the Sixth Princess still hadn’t returned to her tent at such a late time.”

“Do you know why Zhang Wan and Su Yaxian also went there?”

“It was said that the Sixth Princess had taken a fancy to a white fox and insisted on capturing it alive. Unexpectedly, that white fox was quite intelligent, and as she chased it, she gradually entered the depths of the forest. When Miss Zhang heard that the Eldest Young Master was accompanying the Sixth Princess to hunt, she also wanted to follow up and take a look. Coincidentally, she happened to meet the Second Miss, so she asked to go with her together.”

Mu Yunyao shook her head, “These words are full of loopholes. They’re definitely not the truth. We’ll wait and see tomorrow.”

The sky gradually brightened. Su Yaxian opened her eyes and felt pain in her shoulder as if half of her arm had been torn off. Thinking of the scene where the wolves pounced on her to attack and bite yesterday, she frightened and cried out, “Ah!?!? Wolf!”

“Second Miss.” Jin Lan hurried forward. “Second Miss, don’t be afraid. You’ve already returned to the tent. It’s very safe here.”

Su Yaxian looked around in fear. When she saw that it was her own tent, she gradually calmed down.

When Mu Yunyao heard the commotion, she walked over, “Cousin Yaxian has woken up. Does your body still hurt so much?”

Su Yaxian was still in shock, and she nodded after a while, “Many thanks to Little Sister Yunyao. How about my injury....”

“The injury’s on the shoulder already been carefully cleaned and applied medicine. But the Imperial Physician said the wound’s a bit deep, so it might leave behind some scars. Cousin Yaxian should pay extra attention to the contraindications, and don’t eat anything that’s easy to grow hair on.”

Su Yaxian let out a sigh of relief. “It doesn’t matter if the wound will leave behind a scar or not. I’m already surprisingly lucky to be able to keep my life.”

As if thinking about last night’s situation, Su Yaxian shuddered for a moment and then continued, “I wonder how the Sixth Princess and Miss Zhang are doing?”

“I’m not too sure either, but with the Imperial Physicians taking good care of them, it shouldn’t be a problem.” Mu Yunyao carefully sized up Su Yaxian’s expression, “I wonder why Cousin Yaxian went into the depths of the forest and ran into a pack of wolves?”

Su Yaxian’s face turned pale. She bit her lips and said, “I’m not too sure either. Yesterday, I went to look for Eldest Brother and unknowingly went deep. I don’t know where these wolves came from ....”

~ THERE ARE A LOT OF INJURED PEOPLE ~ 

The Grand Princess Yi De accompanied the Emperor to visit the Sixth Princess in her tent. The banquet was no longer necessary, and everyone dispersed one after another.

Mu Yunyao had just returned to her tent when she saw Qu Mama walk over, “Greetings, Miss Mu.”

Mu Yunyao quickly returned the greeting, “Why is Qu Mama here? What orders does the Grand Princess have for me?”

“The Su family’s Second Young Miss, Su Yaxiqn, has been injured for rescue of the Six Princess, and she has been sent back to her tent tent now. However, the Imperial Physicians are not very convenient to help her to heal the wound, so Her Royal Highness Grand Princess ordered this servant to call over Miss Mu to help clean up the wound.”

Su Yaxian was also injured, and it was to protect the Sixth Princess?

Mu Yunyao hurriedly nodded. “Yes, I’ll go over right now.”

“I had originally planned to arrange for a medical woman, but the Sixth Princess’s injuries are quite severe, and Miss Zhang from the Great Scholar’s residence is also unconscious, so the physicians and the medical women are too busy to come over. Thus, I can only trouble Miss Mu to make a trip first.”

Zhang Wan was also injured? It seemed that the matter this time would not be big...

“Su Yaxian is my second cousin. She’s injured, so I should have gone to visit her too. I have to trouble Qu Mama to come over here. Please help me convey my gratitude to the Grand Princess.”

Since Su Yaxian was injured, she should go to help. However, by her relationship with the Eldest Madam, she would definitely use this to stir up some trouble. If she said that she was under the orders of Grand Princess Yi De to help deal with the wound, which was naturally different. It must be said that the Grand Princess Yi De’s thought was such a thorough measurement.

Qu Mama smiled and said, “Miss is smart. This servant will take her leave first.”

“Send off Qu Mama.”

After Qu Mama, Mu Yunyao brought her people straight to Su Yaxian’s tent.

There was an Imperial Physician in the tent holding a medicine powder. Su Yajing and Su Yaling held their hands together and trembled, not daring to step forward to help.

“If you two don’t want to help, then just wait outside. Don’t be so annoying and cry out loud.” The Eldest Madam’s face darkened as she scolded the two sisters.

Su Yaxian had been injured in order to save the Sixth Princess, so they should be happy right now. What if their crying made people misunderstood her?

Su Yajing and Su Yaling trembled at the same time. They quickly pulled each other towards the door, “Little sister Yunyao?”

The Eldest Madam turned her head and saw Mu Yunyao. A trace of disgust flashed clearly in her eyes, “What are you doing here?”

Mu Yunyao walked into the tent and greeted the Eldest Madam and the Imperial Physician. She then looked towards Su Yaxian in the bed, “I heard from Qu Mama that Cousin Yaxian is also injured and that the medicine woman has to take care of the Sixth Princess and Miss Zhang from the Scholar’s residence. Therefore, I specially came to visit cousin Yaxian to see if I could help her deal with the wound.”

Qu Mama? The Eldest Madam flashed a haze through her eyes, and her hatred for Mu Yunyao arose. If she hadn’t broken Yuyi’s arm twice, the Grand Princess would most likely have favored Yuyi. It was this Mu Yunyao who had stolen her own daughter’s opportunity!

“I don’t dare trouble you.”

Su Yaxian laid on the bed with her eyes closed. There were large amounts of bloodstains on her body, and the clothes on her shoulders were damaged. There were three scratches on her body, and it looked quite serious. Moreover, her face was also red. Even though she was unconscious, her brow was tightly furrowed, as if she was suffering from extreme pain.

“Eldest Aunt, Cousin Yaxian’s injuries are quite serious. If we drag it out and don’t let anyone help her deal with her wounds, she might even lose her life.”

“When did I drag it on? Are you here to visit the patient, or are you here to spew blood? ”

Mu Yunyao frowned and looked at the Eldest Madam with difficulty, “Eldest Aunt, even if you don’t like me, you should at least pick the time. It’s important to help treat Cousin Ya Xian’s injuries right now. I can leave this tent, but can you help Cousin Yaxian treat and bandage her wounds?”

The Eldest Madam’s expression stiffened. If she wanted to make a move, there was no need to wait for Mu Yunyao to come over, and her wounds had already been treated long ago. “I’ll do it. I’ll do it. I don’t dare bother you.”

Mu Yunyao turned to look at the Imperial Physician at the side, “I’ll have to trouble this Lord to take care of Cousin Yaxian. After all, the wound on her shoulder is a beast’s scratch. I am afraid if not paying attention to it, she is about to die.”

The Imperial Physician looked at the Eldest Madam. “Madam Meng, if you want to help deal with the wound, please get someone to fetch water to clean up Second Miss first. Miss Mu is right. The scratching of a wild beast is very troublesome. Not to mention the fact that Second Miss is seriously injured. Even if it was not serious, it might endanger her life.

The Imperial Physician retreated to the side. The Eldest Madam came forward to help Su Yaxian take off her clothes. She had never served anyone before, so at this moment, she seemed in a mess and flustered. The Imperial Physician was getting impatient from waiting, and he couldn’t help but remind her, “Madam Meng, you can call a few maidservants over to help. Second Miss’s injuries really can’t be delayed.”

The Eldest Madam’s face became stiffer and stiffer. This time she brought the three sisters to the Autumn Hunt, which made her very unhappy. In order to make things difficult for them, she did not let the maidservants follow them. She had brought two maidservants with her, but instead, she had just sent them out to take care of Su Qingwu. Therefore, who would come to help her now?

Mu Yunyao walked over. “We really can’t delay Cousin Yaxian’s treatment for her injuries. Si Shu, invite Eldest Aunt to sit at the side and rest. Jin Lan, help me get the scissors.”

Si Shu stepped forward to support the Eldest Madam’s arm. Ignoring her insistence, she led her to a chair and sat her down. “Eldest Madam, please take a short rest.”

Mu Yunyao took the scissors and directly cut open Su Yaxin’s clothes on her shoulder. Afterward, she took the water and quickly helped her clean up the wound. After cleaning up, she looked at the three deep scratches on her shoulder and asked the ImperialPphysician, “I don’t know, but could Lord have seen what kind of beast scratched Cousin Su Yaxian’s shoulder?”

“It’s said that the Sixth Princess met a pack of wolves in the forest. Judging from the look of the wounds, they should have been caused by the claws of the wolves.”

Mu Yunyao carefully helped Su Yaxian applied some good medicine and dressed her wound. She reached out her hand to test her temperature, “The wound on her shoulder isn’t too serious, so why did she start burning now?”

Mu Yunyao pulled over the quilt to help Su Yaxian cover her body properly before stepping aside to invite the Imperial Physician over.

After checking her pulse, the Imperial Physician’s expression was still relatively relaxed. “I’m going to prepare the prescription now. After boiling the medicine, I will administer the medicine as soon as possible for her. The wolf claws aren’t clean, and the excessive fright will lead to a high fever. I need to take care of her carefully this night, so nothing can go wrong.”

Mu Yunyao nodded, “I’ll have to trouble the Lord. Thank you so much.”

“Miss Mu, you’re too polite. I’ll go and write the prescription first.”

Waiting until the Imperial Physician had left, the Eldest Madam pushed Si Shu away and stood up, furiously pointing at Mu Yunyao. “Mu Yunyao, what are your intentions?”

Mu Yunyao’s expression was cold, “I’m just saving people. Didn’t Eldest Aunt see that?”

“Save people? Your mind is sinister. Who knows if you are making use of this opportunity to do something to Yaxian? Now that there are no longer outsiders here, you don’t need to be so courteous and quickly leave.” As long as she saw Mu Yunyao, the Eldest Madam’s heart would be filled with anger and hatred. However, being unable to do anything to her looked like something being stuck in her throat and tortures her all the time.

Mu Yunyao, who was sitting on the bed, turned her head when she heard this. She looked coldly at the Eldest Madam and asked, “Eldest Aunt, why are you in such a hurry for me to leave? Is it because you want to do something to Cousin Yaxian?” Since there were no outsiders present, there was no need to be polite when speaking.

~ SU QINGWU CARRIED THE SIXTH PRINCESS BACK? ~ 

“Tomorrow, we will set out on our journey back to the Capital. If there are any things you need to bring back, you just pack up in time. In these few days, you have come here to make tea for me and talk to me. You’ve solved a lot of boredom for me, so I really need to give you something.”

“To be able to receive the instruction of the Grand Princess, Yunyao has wished for nothing, and she would never dare to ask for any rewards.”

“That’s not good. Naturally, you should be rewarded. In these few days, Junyue has sent over a lot of prey. I have people choose the best ones, cut them into leather, and I will reward you with some of them. So when you go back, you can make some clothes to wear. Autumn is almost ending, and it will be winter soon. It quickly gets cold as soon as winter enters. Your body is fragile, and if you aren’t pay attention to this, you may not be able to stand it. The winter in the Capital is quite cold.”

“Then Yunyao thanks the Grand Princess for her gift.”

“You don’t need to accompany me here in the afternoon. You just need pack your things properly. If you want to play, then take advantage of the time you have left to play well. After we return to the Capital, it’s not convenient to ride horse around.” The Grand Princess Yi De had a smile in her eyes as she teased her.

Mu Yunyao’s face flushed red, “Then Yunyao will take her leave.” After she finished speaking, she quickly walked out.

The Grand Princess Yi De couldn’t help but laugh. She turned to the nearby Qu Mama and said, “This girl have thin skin.”

“That’s right. She’s young, and she’s at the prime of her life.” Qu Mama agreed with a smile.

“I’ve been continuously calling Mu Yunyao over these past few days. I’m afraid that a lot of people can’t sit still.” The Grand Princess Yi De’s smile vanished as she slowly spoke.

“There are indeed some rumors and slanders, but the Grand Princess doesn’t need to care about it.”

“If you’re willing to say it, then just let them say it. It’s just a few tricks. Listening to it, it makes one’s ears grow calluses.”

“Indeed.”

When Mu Yunyao returned to her tent, she saw that Jin Lan’s dress was wet, and her expression carried some anger.

“What’s going on?”

Jin Lan quickly shook her head. “Miss, you’re back. I accidentally spilled some water when I was carrying the basin.”

“What? You’ve already learned how to lie in front of me?”

“This servant doesn’t dare. I’m just afraid that if I say it, I might anger Miss.”

“Tell me about it.”

Mu Yunyao knew that the campsite looked calm these past two days. But in reality, it was filled with undercurrents. The reason was that she had been serving to Grand Princess Yi De one after another, which had made many people’s eyes red or jealous.

“Yes....” Jin Lan muttered, “I don’t know where the news came from. They said that Miss did not follow the etiquette and walked too close with His Royal Highness Yue Wang all day. They also said that you…have wishful thinking, hoping to obtain something that didn’t belong to you … Miss, don’t pay attention to these rumors. Those people are nothing more than just jealous of you.”

Mu Yunyao chuckled, “Of course, I don’t care. If I had listened those rumors, I would have been driven to death a long time ago. I still haven’t lived enough. What else, did they say all that?”

“They also said that you deliberately flattered the Grand Princess Yi De because Miss wanted to borrow the Grand Princess’s power and achievements to make a marriage with His Royal Highness Yue Wang....” As Jin Lan spoke, she carefully sized up Mu Yunyao’s expression.

Mu Yunyao’s smile became thicker, “The words of those people are probably even more unpleasant than what you said, right? The water stains on your dress, did someone intentionally make things difficult for you with the water stains on your dress?”

“Yes, when I was fetching the water, a few maids accidentally spilled some water onto the basin and just happened to pour it on this servant’s body.”

“Remember the person who threw water on you. In another day, I will help you settle this debt.”

“It’s fine, Miss. They don’t dare to be so blatant. After all, it’s hard to say whether or not you’ll really become the granddaughter of Grand Princess Yi De when we return to the Capital. They were afraid that you will retaliate later on, so they only dared to make small insignificant moves. ”

“Just remember it first.” For some people, the more you endure, the more arrogant they will become. As long as you don’t retaliate, they will always think you are too kind to bully. Most of the time, they will just directly give it back.

As Jin Lan went down to change her clothes, Si Shu walked in quickly, “Miss, you let your servants pay attention to the affairs of Young Master Su. There has been some progress now.”

Mu Yunyao’s eyes lit up, “Oh? How is the situation?”

“In the past few days of hunting, the Sixth Princess have been entangled with Young Master Su. After hearing that Eldest Young Master had a fiancee, she even specifically went to look for trouble with Miss Zhang and called her over to kneel for two hours. It said that she said some very unpleasant things, and Miss Zhang became ill after went back. Miss Zhang hasn’t been out of the tent these days.”

“We will return to the Capital tomorrow, so it won’t be easy for the Sixth Princess to see Su Qingwu again.” Mu Yunyao secretly thought that there might be a lively scene at night.

After the Autumn Hunt was over, they would return to the Capital tomorrow. Thus, there would be a feast in the evening to celebrate this.

After several consecutive days of barbecue, Mu Yunyao’s appetite was poor. After eating a few simple bites, she looked at the people at the banquet. When her eyes swept across the Su family seats, her gaze slightly froze: Su Qingwu is not here, and Su Yaxian is not either….

Thinking of Su Yaxian, who would enter the First Prince’s residence in the future, Mu Yunyao’s thoughts moved. Could it be that at this time, Su Yaxian had something to do with the First Prince?

A short while later, the Emperor, Grand Princess Yi De, and several other princes came over. Su Qingwu and Su Yaxian still hadn’t returned, and the Sixth Princess wasn’t present on the princess’ seat.

Mu Yunyao continued to look behind her and discovered that Zhang Wan’s seat was also empty. The wife of the great scholar had an anxious expression on her face, and from time to time, she would look behind her.

After everyone had taken their seats, the Emperor suddenly spoke up, “Why don’t I see the Sixth Princess here? Where’s Huaiyang?”

The palace maid hurriedly stepped forward and reported, “Reporting to your majesty, the Six Princess, Huaiyang, went out with Lord Su to hunt in the afternoon. They have not come back yet.”

“What?” The Emperor frowned abruptly. “The Sixth Princess has not returned for such a long time. You guys actually didn’t report her to me. How dare you!”

The palace maids hurriedly knelt down while trembling, kowtowing, and begging for mercy, “Please spare us, Your Majesty. Please spare us! It was Her Royal Highness the Sixth Princess who didn’t let us report her to the Emperor, saying that we would kill all of us when she returned if we dared to divulge any trace of her!”

“How dare you!” The Emperor sighed, “Huai Yang is getting bolder and bolder. Men, hurry and go find Princess Huaiyang because it’s already late. The forest should not have any wild beasts roaming about, so you mustn’t encounter any dangers.”

“Yes.” The guards immediately went to look for the Sixth Princess.

The Emperor’s mood was unhappy. The atmosphere of the banquet was rather gloomy. The imperial guards who went out to look for the Sixth Princess quickly rushed back. “Reporting to your majesty, the Sixth Princess has been severely injured by the wild beasts and has been carried back to the tent.”

“What?” The Emperor stood up abruptly. “Hurry and go to Imperial Physician Xuan. Where’s the Sixth Princess?”

“She has already been carried back to the tent by Lord Su.”

Mu Yunyao’s eyelashes trembled as she lifted her head to look at that guard. As a small bodyguard, she had the guts to say that Su Qingwu had carried the Sixth Princess back to her tent.

Su Wenyuan and his wife naturally understood the meaning of this sentence, and they thought about everything for a while. Su Wenyuan was still calm, but the Eldest Madam’s eyes flashed joy through her eyes.

The Sixth Princess has always been favored by the Emperor. If Su Qingwu really becomes attached to her, with the help of the Six Princess, their future will surely be more smooth.

~ PUNISHMENT FOR JIN WANG ~ 

Feeling his increasingly focused gaze, Mu Yunyao lowered her eyes and ignored him, carefully cleaning the blood off her hands in a basin at the side. “Speaking of which, the Meng family has suffered heavy losses this time. Meng Yanran was gifted to death by the Emperor because of her rude words, and Meng Handong was murdered secretly. Meng Yu had been stripped of his official position and had not been hired for five years. His talent was already mediocre. So after five years, he would no longer have any career opportunities. I’m afraid the Grand Preceptor Meng probably won’t let things rest once we return to the Capital.”

Seeing her uneasiness, Yue Wang didn’t have the slightest intention of restraining his gaze. He liked to see Mu Yunyao reveal a different expression because of him, as though this could prove that he was different in her heart. “The Imperial Concubine De was spoiled in the Palace and gradually lost her sense of propriety when she spoke and did things. By doing so, Imperial Father was also warning the Meng family. He hope they can consider their own weight and also make Grand Preceptor Meng wary of losing the reputation of the family in the later years.”

“The Emperor’s thoughts are really unfathomable.”

“That’s right. If it weren’t for this, Imperial Father wouldn’t have been able to walk all the way from a prince with poor birth to the present day, becoming an enlightened ruler that the people support.”

The two of them chatted for a while longer before Mu Yunyao got up and said her goodbyes, “Don’t touch the wounds on Fourth Master’s back, don’t get it wet, and be extra careful in the next two days of hunting. Don’t easily involve the wound. The wound left by saving my mother before has not been cured and will add another injury. I’m afraid it’s better to have a rest for a few days.”

“It’s fine. I’ll send you back.”

Mu Yunyao hurriedly shook her head. “This is too eye-catching. I can go back by myself. Si Shu is waiting for me at a place not too far away, and it’s only a few steps away, so there’s no danger.”

“The Imperial Father is furious. The officials don’t even dare to breathe loudly. At this time, all of them are staying in their own tents to pretend to be deaf and blind. Don’t worry, no one dares to say anything.”

“There’s really no need....” Mu Yunyao shook her head in refusal. Yue Wang was still injured, so he couldn’t go out and run around.

Yue Wang stood up and stretched his hand out to take the cloak that hung at the tent’s entrance. He personally draped it over Mu Yunyao’s body and rubbed her head through the cloak: “Let’s hurry up and leave. I’ll send you back shortly so I can come back earlier to rest.”

The touch above her head was warm and heavy. Mu Yunyao blankly raised her head, and only after a long while did she blink back to her senses. Her face instantly flushed red, and she knew that no matter how she tried to refute him, it was useless, so she hurried out.

Yue Wang said that he was sending Mu Yunyao off. However, he walked a little far away from her. When he saw her back to her own tent, he turned around and left.

Seeing Mu Yunyao return, Jin Lan hurriedly went to greet her. “Miss, are you alright?”

Mu Yunyao shook her head and took off the cloak on her body. However, she didn’t hand it over to Jinlan, who reached out to receive it. Instead, she placed it on the inside of the bed. “This cloak is from His Royal Highness Yue Wang. I’ll find a chance to give it back to him tomorrow.”

Jin Lan held in her laughter and nodded her head. “Yes, your servant will fetch hot water for Miss to wash up.”

The next two days were calm and peaceful. The officials thought of ways to express themselves and strive to make the Emperor happy.

Jin Wang thought that the incident was over. However, the day before he left the paddock, the Emperor suddenly felt that the scenery around the hunting grounds was not bad, and he wanted to build a Palace here. It would be more convenient to hunt and live in the future. Finally, the matter was finalized, and the task of supervising the site selection of the Jianxing Palace fell on him.

Hearing this, Jin Wang’s pale face turned even more unsightly. “Imperial Father, your son is willing to share your worries. It’s just that this son is in charge of matters between the Ministry of Public Affairs and the Ministry of Rites. It’s hard to avoid this....”

The Emperor nodded, “If you don’t say it, I have forgotten about it. Junyue has been back from Western Guangdong for some time. As a prince, he should have learned how to share the worries of his father. Since you have always been more at ease than him. No matter where you are, you can do the tasks I assigned very well. Thus, you should first enter the work department to supervise the affairs of the Jianxing Palace. As for the Ministry of Public Affairs and the Ministry of Rites’s matter, let Fourth Son train in them. ”

After a few moments of restraint, Jin Wang allowed his voice to remain calm, “Yes.” It was just a simple word, but it seemed to take him a lot of effort and have cost him a great deal of energy. When he walked out of the tent, his steps were a little shaky.

Coincidentally, Yue Wang had come to seek an audience. Thus, the two met at the entrance of the tent.

“Fourth Imperial Brother, congratulations.”

Yue Wang raised his head, his expression as cold as ever. “I still need to learn more from Third Imperial Brother.”

When Mu Yunyao heard this news, she couldn’t help but laugh for a long time. She really didn’t expect that the astute and scheming Jin Wang would have such failures in the future.

According to the memories of her past life, Yue Wang had returned to the Capital the next year. At that time, Jin Wang was already in the Capital and was in an inextricable fight with Ling Wang, and he would have gathered a group of strategists to come up with some ideas. He would be extra careful with every step, afraid that if he took one wrong step and was crushed by Ling Wang, who had the same reputation as him.

But now, Jin Wang hasn’t grown to the next level, his speaking and doing things are not as dripping as before, so he fell a big somersault.

Mu Yunyao is very leisurely. Now she can ride a horse for a short trot. Yue Wang asked someone to make a small bow especially for her, but it’s a pity that she doesn’t have enough strength. Even if the bow and arrow have been changed several times, she still can’t shoot far away. I’m afraid she can’t reach the goal of hunting a rabbit before leaving the hunting ground.

Seeing that they were about to leave the hunting grounds tomorrow, Mu Yunyao went to Grand Princess Yi De’s tent to make tea for her. In these past few days, she had frequently come over and learned a lot about Grand Princess Yi De’s temperament. It was said that the princess was really a rare woman, and she can’t help but respect her in her heart.

Held the cup of tea fragrance in her hand, Grand Princess Yi De looked at the meek Mu Yunyao and couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. No wonder this child was able to rise in Jingling City. After a few days of contact with her, even she was picky, she still didn’t notice anything amiss about her.

On the contrary, she took care of her extremely well. Sometimes, they wouldn’t even see each other for most of the day, and she even had some thoughts about her. She always felt that something was missing from her side, and even Qu Mama said that she’d lost her favor in the past few days.

“How are the injuries on Junyue’s body?”

Mu Yunyao knew that she couldn’t hide from Grand Princess Yi De when she went to Yue Wng’s tent to help him heal his wound. Thus, she wasn’t too surprised but instead smiled generously, “Reporting to Grand Princess, Yue Wang’s wounds have already formed a scab. He has been recuperating well these days, and he will be fine in a few days. I just heard from His Highness that his wounds are itchy and feel a little uncomfortable at night.”

The Grand Princess Yi De really cared about Yue Wang. So whenever he was mentioned, Mu Yunyao would explain in as much detail as possible.

“He is a good kid, but he doesn’t think much of himself. He has been injured a lot in the past few years in Western Guangdong. He is a prince, but his life is almost the same as a military general’s. Only he has that kind of ability.”

Mu Yunyao smiled but didn’t speak. She now had a deeper understanding of the relationship between Grand Princess Yi De and Yue Wang.
