Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 388

~ STAY TRUE TO YOUR TRUE INTENTIONS, GET A BLESSING IN DISGUISE ~ 

The Emperor lowered his eyes as he sized up Mu Yunyao’s expression.

She raised her head, her eyes bright and firm. Her eyes even carried an indomitable aura, as if she was a small soldier about to enter the battlefield. She was nervous, confident, proud as if those who had played her were enemies, and she could defeat them in the next moment.

“Distinguish right from wrong, do not act in a mean manner, do not act in a kind manner, and do not take good for small things... I have underestimated you. The sages of those officials have been read in the dog’s stomach. They don’t even understand the logic behind it. You should get up.” The Emperor had a smile on his face. It was rare for him to see such a straightforward child who carried a sharp gaze. Since she had done the right thing, there was no need to forcefully erase the edge on her body. There were too many people in the Capital who were as smooth as water, so it is rare to have a different one.

Mu Yunyao blinked. Seeing the Emperor smiling, she also became happy: “Your Majesty, do you mean I don't have to close the tea stall?”

“En, there’s no need. Just keep it open as you wish. After all, this is a good deed that is convenient for the commoners.”

Mu Yunyao bowed respectfully to the Emperor. “This humble girl thanks Your Majesty. In addition, this humble girl has a ruthless feeling and would like to discuss this with Your Majesty.”

“Discuss with me?” The Emperor laughed. “No one has dared to discuss matters with me for a long time. Why don’t you tell me, and we will talk and discuss.”

The Emperor’s words were as good as gold. How could they discuss this? Xu Li broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, the Emperor’s tone was very gentle. It looked like as long as Miss Mu didn’t say anything too excessive, she should be able to keep her life.

Mu Yunyao stood up and sat on a chair to the side. Then, she said, “Your Majesty, the embroidery needle techniques in Ni Yun Fang has been spread widely. As long as there is Ni Yun Fang in Jiangnan, many women will more or less do some embroidery. Thus, they can make a living and earn some silver to supplement their families. However, very few women know anything about it in the Capital. Now that Ni Yun Fang has opened, I had thought of having someone to teach people embroidery needle techniques in the Capital. I wonder if the Emperor would agree to that?”

“Teaching embroidery needle techniques in the Capital?”

“Yes, people in many other places can do it, but women in the Capital can’t do it. That’s not fair. Moreover, after I came to the Capital, I saw the local customs here, and everything in the Capital is good. Under the feet of the Son of Heaven, the population is prosperous, the city is majestic, the streets are level, and all kinds of shops are lined up. Even the people here, their minds and vision were much broader than in other places. If they had learned the embroidery needle technique, so it could be said that the things that they embroider could not be compared with other places.”

Hearing Mu Yunyao’s praise for the Capital, the Emperor’s heart flashed with a faint sense of pride. “What you said is quite good. The Capital naturally cannot be compared to other places.”

Mu Yunyao nodded in agreement, “Mm, then Your Majesty, can this humble girl teach people the embroidery needle technique?”

“Teach them what you want. It’s also a good deed that benefits the people. It’s rare for a girl like you to be willing to do it.”

Mu Yunyao’s smile was brilliant. “Your Majesty agrees. Then I’ll pass down the embroidery needle technique to people. I don’t think those official will not played me and said that Iwin over the hearts of the people.”

When he thought about that official who played Mu Yunyao, the Emperor felt a little annoyed. There were so many things that needed to be settled in the Imperial Court. But as officials, they were eating the salary of the Imperial Court and stared at Mu Yunyao, who was just a little girl doing business. They really had nothing to do: “Then what are you waiting for me here? Shall I give you an Imperial Decree?”

“Well, I wish I could bring the Imperial Decree back, and it will be enshrined in the room where the women are taught embroidery. Let those women who come to learn embroidery know that the Emperor has a great grace and is always concerned about us commoners all the time.”

“Then aren’t you afraid that I will steal your credit?”

“The whole world belongs to the Emperor. Not to mention this doesn’t count as a meritorious deed, and even if it does, it’s still due to the Emperor’s teachings. How could the Emperor even need to snatch it away?” Mu Yunyao looked at the Emperor with eyes full of respect and admiration. Her tone of voice was even more sincere and natural.

The smile on the Emperor’s face grew wider. “You little girl, your words sound nice. I originally wanted to call you in to punish you, but after hearing your words, I instead felt that I should reward you with something.”

Mu Yunyao kneaded her knees without leaving a trace. She had knelt for more than half an hour, so now her knees still hurt.

Seeing her actions, the Emperor asked, “I’ve punished you, so do you feel uncomfortable?”

Mu Yunyao honestly nodded before quickly shaking her head, “When I just knelt on the ground, but I didn’t see the Emperor calls me to get up, I felt scared in my heart. When I thought carefully later that I didn’t do anything wrong, Your Majesty punishing me like this was a bit too much. However, it turns out that some people are playing tricks on me and purposefully said bad things about me in front of the Emperor. Your Majesty, you’ve been misled, so your heart is no longer angry. But, there’s a more important point...”

Noticing Mu Yunyao’s slightly uncomfortable expression, the Emperor’s interest was piqued. “Tell me, what’s more important?”

“These are some of this humbel girl’s thoughts, so I asked the Emperor do not blame me.”

“Go ahead and tell me.”

“The Emperor was the ruler of a nation, and usually, you were worried about national affairs. This humble girl is just a commoner, and as a commoner, they had the chance to meet with the Emperor, so it could be said that they were the only ones who could make the Emperor worry personally. Even if it is a punishment of kneeling, I can’t say how much they were envious of me in the eyes of outsiders. Your Majesty, if you are reward me again, others would regard ne as a favorite of yours when I go out and wouldn’t dare to offend me again in the future.”

“Hahaha!” The Emperor smiled and pointed the imperial brush in his hand at Mu Yunyao before turned his head and looked at Xu Li. “Listen to me. This is the first time I’ve seen such a bold person. Aren’t you brazenly basking in my glory?”

Mu Yunyao’s face had a tinge of red, and she smiled with extreme embarrassment. “Then, when the new year comes, I’ll give Your Majesty some more gifts. Many thanks for your grace, Your Majesty.”

“Alright, then I’ll be waiting. Hadn’t Nanhai recently offered a few pearls? Take out two pearls to reward Mu Yunyao, don’t make her feel that I am stingy.”

Xu Li quickly bowed and said, “Yes, this servant will go get them now.”

“This humble girl thanks Your Majesty.” Mu Yunyao’s smile was brilliant, and her eyes curved like crescent moons. The joy was revealed from the bottom of her heart, made others feel extremely comfortable when they saw it and wished to reward her with something more.

The Emperor smiled, and his choices for Ning Junyue became clearer. His personality was too cold, and the more he thought about it, the more he wished the people around him would be warmer. Only in this way would Junyue not feel too sad in the future. It was like he who was spoiling Imperial Concubine Consort De, simply because she was too straightforward, so he didn’t need to worry about her. Unlike other people, it took a lot of thought to figure out what was going on.

“Go back.”

Xu Li held out a small box to Mu Yunyao. “Miss Mu, these are the Southern Sea Pearls bestowed by the Emperor. There is ten pearls have been offered this year. These are two of them. Miss Mu’s luck is deep.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty. I will have to trouble Eunuch Xu, thank you.”

“Miss Mu is too polite. I’ll get Li De to send you out of the Palace.” This Miss Mu was able to please the Emperor and also received the attention of Grand Princess Yi De. Her future was boundless. Fortunately, he had befriended her earlier, so he still needed her care in the future.

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 387

~ MU YUNYAO IS A PARTICIPANT IN THE PERFORMANCE ~ 

Within the Chunming Spring Pavilion, the Emperor held a red brush in his hand as he quickly read through the imperial reports.

Below, Mu Yunyao was kneeling in the great hall with her head slightly lowered, a trace of doubt and fear on her face.

Xu Li stood by the Emperor’s side with his head lowered. He tried his best to keep his breathing down, afraid that the slightest sound would make the Emperor unhappy.

Half an hour ago, Miss Mu had been summoned to the Imperial Palace. At the time of the transmission, there was no trace of displeasure in the Emperor’s expression, but when Miss Mu entered the Imperial Palace to pay her respects, it was as if the Emperor had not heard anything. He allowed her to kneel on the ground and speak for more than half an hour.

The number of memorials on the table decreased bit by bit until the last one was finally closed. Only then did the Emperor raise his head and look at Mu Yunyao, who was on the ground. “Stand up.”

Mu Yunyao raised her head with a smile on her face. “This humble girl thanks Your Majesty.” However, she didn’t move when she finished speaking.

The Emperor’s brows twitched. “Why you’re not stand up when I order you stand up? Do you think that I’ve punished you unjustly?”

Mu Yunyao hurriedly shook her head, and her expression was twisted. “Your Majesty, you’ve misunderstood. This humble girl has knelt for a long time, so her legs are extremely numb and can’t stand up.”

A hint of a smile appeared in the Emperor’s eyes. “Xu Li, why don’t you get someone to help Miss Mu up?”

“Yes.” Xu Li hurriedly commanded someone to help Mu Yunyao up.

Mu Yunyao stood up and couldn’t help but sway for a moment. Her legs were numb and senseless. But after recovering for a while, they began to hurt as if they were being pricked by needles. She knelt for more than an hour, so she felt pain. Fortunately, this place was warm, and the floor was covered with blankets.

The Emperor looked at Mu Yunyao’s expression. “Do you know why I called you to enter the Imperial Palace?”

Mu Yunyao honestly shook her head. “This humble girl don’t know.”

“Someone said that you participated in the performance.”

Mu Yunyao stared with wide eyes, her tone filled with surprise, “Participated in the performance? I am just a commoner. At most, I would just do a little business. Can this be performed?”

Her eyes were moist. She seemed to be mixed with a hint of pride, and at the same time, she was surprised as if being able to participate in the performance was a face-saving thing, which made the Emperor’s heart a little more amused: "Do you know what you are participating in?"

When Mu Yunyao saw that the Emperor’s expression was still relatively calm, she couldn’t help but probingly ask, “Your Majesty, is it about our Ni Yun Fang’s competition for a higher price? Or is it falsity of Bu Xian Luo’s tea?”

“Neither.”

“None of them? I only have this two properties, Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo. Now I have just opened business and haven’t done business for a few days. What else can I do?”

The Emperor looked at Mu Yunyao, who was frowning as she pondered with a puzzled expression. His eyes carried a trace of a probing gaze as he said, “You are participating in gather the hearts of the people and harbored malicious intentions.”

Mu Yunyao’s eyes widened as if she had received a shock. Her face paled slightly. “Your Majesty, you’re a true dragon and a ruler. You’re able to see through everything. Thus, you’ll surely know that I was wronged, right?”

“I don’t know if I’m wrong, but I heard that Bu Xian Luo has set up many tea stalls, and they sell tea at a very affordable price. They even provide some side dishes for free and use this to win the hearts of the people and encourage the workers to create trouble at the wharf?”

Mu Yunyao creased her brows, her expression suddenly filled with anger. “Your Majesty, according to the laws of Dali Dynasty, it’s also a crime to frame a commoner, isn’t it?”

“Hmm? From what you have said, you don’t want to admit that you bought people’s hearts?”

“Yes, I ask the Emperor to make sure because when Bu Xian Luo wants to set up the tea stalls, we always choose places where no one sells tea. For example, the stalls with tea stalls in the wharf also let people communicate and discuss in advance. I just want to do good deeds and don’t want to forge enmity because of it. As for buying people’s hearts, if doing something for the poor people is buying people’s hearts in the eyes of those adults, then the Emperor should dismiss those people as soon as possible, so that they only know to participate in others all day and don’t know to buy people’s hearts.”

“How dare you!” The Emperor’s face was filled with displeasure. A person's aura in a high position caused others to feel fear from the bottom of their heart.

Mu Yunyao stood up and knelt on the ground. Although she restrained her injustice, her eyes were still filled with stubbornness.

“So I wronged you?"

“Yes,” Mu Yunyao raised her head and said in a particular firm and calm tone, “I know what the Emperor said about making trouble at the wharf. At that time, I had informed Shuntian Manor. Lord Shen was very clear about this matter, and he can testify for me. It was someone who hated the tea stall, deliberately asked people to make trouble. They knocked dow the old man who sell the tea, which angered the long-term workers and beat up those people. The shopkeeper of Bu Xian Luo found out about this and gave ten taels of silver to those who got beaten up. At that time, they themselves admitted that they were wrong. Isn’t the adult who said that Iam participated in the performance unclear about it?”

Xu Li broke out in a cold sweat for Mu Yunyao. Miss Mu was really too bold. She didn’t even know how to hide her words in front of the Emperor. If she spoke in such a straightforward manner, it would inevitably bring disaster to her.

The Emperor looked at Mu Yunyao and couldn’t help but shake his head. “Get up. Your temper exactly the same as Imperial Elder Sister all those years ago. Don’t open the tea stand anymore. You just focus on managing Bu Xian Luo and Ni Yun Fang.”

Mu Yunyao did not stand up, but her eyes were filled with confusion. “Your Majesty, could it be that you also think that I run a tea stall to win over people’s hearts? Please understand that I just want to make it convenient for the people and provide a bowl of hot tea for those who are surely thirsty. I just want to do the next good deed. I definitely don’t want to win over people’s hearts.”

“I know that there’s nothing wrong with you setting up a tea stall.”

“If it’s right, why couldn’t I continue it?” The puzzlement in Mu Yunyao’s eyes deepened. “Could it be that it’s because the few adults said that if Bu Xian Luo still run the tea stall, it will suspected to win over the hearts of people?”

The Emperor frowned, “If people often play you in the future, even if Yue Wang is implicated by you, will you continue to persevere in your actions?”

After Yue Wang showed his close relationship with Mu Yunyao, he had talked to Grand Princess Yi De about this matter.

Junyue has a temper, and he can’t easily change one thing if he already recognizes one thing. Although he felt that Mu Yunyao did not have a high background, she was still a rare intelligent person. In the future, Junyue will be a prince who enjoyed peace and prosperity, so it would be better for him if His Princess had a lower background. Seeing Mu Yunyao’s rare temperament and liked by Imperial Elder Sister, he had no objection.

He didn’t want her to run a tea stall because he hoped she could distance herself from trouble. He didn’t want her to cause unnecessary trouble just because of a small matter.

Mu Yunyao pondered for a moment before slowly nodding her head, “Your Majesty, even if someone else plays me, I would still insist on doing the right thing. I believe that whether it is His Highness Royal Yue Wang, or His Highness Royal Yu Wang, or His Highness Royal Jin Wang or His Highness Royal Ling Wang, they would all make the same choice. My father and mother taught me to differentiate right from wrong, not petty, and not unkind. What I did was not wrong, and it is also beneficial for others, so why did I stop just because of a little suspicion?”

Incurable Chapter 36 Part 2

There are so many beautiful women in the entertainment industry. If they have slept with this backer and thought it was good, so they’ll be given an important role. But if the backer thought that they are dispensable, they’ll be given a small role.

A large number of women flocked, ruining their bodies and throwing away their self-esteem.

“You always been tough, haven’t you? But you are so lofty now. You would rather be kept than to come to me.” Mu Qing’s tone was neither salty nor light. She said such an ugly sentence lightly, mocking, and sarcastic.

Mu Qing’s face was so different from that of the old days. At least her face was still smiling when she made sarcastic remarks. However, the inside has not changed much. The thoughts and words that are spoken are foul-smelling.

She was standing there with a delicate and exquisite atmosphere of a woman from the Republic of China as her little assistant holding an umbrella for her. Mu Wan raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at her, and laughed.

“What about being kept? We are with each other. Besides, isn’t the man who kept me better than the man who kept you? At least, the role you deleted for me, I can now act the role again now.”

Mu Wan finished spoke, and the corners of her lips bend more deeply.

Her mouth was as unforgiving as before. Even when she was beaten by her father, her words were still hit the nail on the head.

Looking at her face, Mu Qing’s forehead blue veins were throbbing slightly. She was stifled for a moment before left with a sneer.

To say something inexplicably about being kept for no reason, she was like self-deception after nothing she could do. Mu Wan turned around and dragged her cheap clothes away.

After picking up the novel, Mu Wan played with Gao Mei for a while, then returned to the crew to finished today’s scene. After she has done it, she changed her costume and took a taxi to the hospital.

The air was hot and humid. Mu Wan seemed to be walking through steam until she entered the hospital lobby, where the cool air enveloped her and shook her body slightly. After a while, Mu Wan took the elevator to the floor where Liu Qianxiu’s office was.

It’s five o’clock in the afternoon, and the hospital is about to change shifts. People come and go, and they are pretty busy. Mu Wan got off the elevator and saw several young nurses at the nurse’s station glance over.

They looked at her a few times, then lowered their head as pretended to read the information. But in fact, they discussed her. In most cases, they will discuss that she has come to pester Doctor Liu again or how shameless she is. Every time she comes over, she will be discussed, and Mu Wan was used to it.

She retracted her gaze and swept across the corridor, just to see a group of doctors coming out of the conference room. Among the many doctors, only her Doctor Liu is the best. His figure is tall and straight, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and he had long legs under a white gown that reached the waistline of the female doctor next to him.

Holding the document in his hand, he looked quiet and peaceful. He was listening to what Xiao Yun said next to him. He had just walked few steps before he noticed something and looked up. Mu Wan was standing in the middle of the crowd shuttling through the corridor and smiling at him.

A group of doctors walked over quickly, and several doctors had already seen Mu Wan, including Xiao Yun. When Liu Qianxiu walked to her side, Mu Wan said with a smile.

“Liu Qianxiu ~ Your girlfriend is here!”

Her voice was not too loud or too soft. Her word could be heard as close as the doctors and as far away as the nurses’ station. Almost as soon as they heard it, all eyes shifted away.

Xiao Yun glanced at Mu Wan, frowned, and looked at Liu Qianxiu again.

Liu Qianxiu’s expression remained the same. He closed the file in his hand and looked at her quietly with his dark eyes, then said with his deep voice.

“Where is she?”

Mu Wan laughed, smiled, and her long thin fingers pointed at herself.

“Here she is. ~”

The corridor is bright, noisy, and busy. In this prosperous life and death, there is something that he wants.

The corner of Liu Qianxiu’s lips twitched, and the setting sun adorned his gentleness. He reached out his hand and touched her head.

Their public disclosure caused quite a sensation in the hospital. Almost within a few minutes, everyone knew that Liu Qianxiu, a surgical Taoist priest, had gone down to earth and found an 18-line actress like a fairy as a girlfriend.

Even when Liu Qianxiu got off work, and the two of them walked toward Liu Qianxiu’s car, they still had their eyes on them. Liu Qianxiu took her hand, and his expression remains unchanged. When they got to the car, he opened the door of the co-pilot for her first. When Mu Wan got into the car, Liu Qianxiu closed the door and went to the driver’s seat.

Mu Wan sat in the passenger seat, and her eyes were still stuck at the door of the emergency building. There are a few young nurses there who are looking over them and talking about them.

Just when she and Liu Qianxiu were walking by, the young nurses did not see them and had a heated discussion behind them.

One of the young nurses asked, “This woman is an actress, and they made it public. Do you think dr. Liu will be on the entertainment news?”

Another young nurse replied, “That will definitely not be the case. She is eighteenth-tier actrees and no such importan person. How can there be boring entertainment reporters to write this kind of news with no traffic.”

Another young nurse said, “Actually, I think this actress is quite good. I have seen her acting, and she has good acting skills. The person also has looks good, but I don’t know why she’s never been famous.”

The other young nurse said, “She definitely don’t want to be restrained by unspoken rules, so It seems that she is pretty good.”

As the young nurses chatted and chattered, the direction of the conversation suddenly turned to praise her for being high-spirited, bright, and not being submissive by unspoken rules. Mu Wan felt amused in her heart. However, although she is a young actress without popularity, and her scandal is not worthy of entertainment reporters’ coverage, the supporting actors have also had a fixed circle, so Liu Qianxiu will definitely come into contact with them in the future.

Somehow, Mu Wan’s thoughts drifted to today’s event. Mu Qing had said inexplicably that she was kept by a backer.

She is not afraid of scandal. However, since Mu Qing said so, even if she had caught the wind and cast the shadow, Mu Wan still needs to talk to Liu Qianxiu first.

“If you hear any messy information about me, don’t believe it.” Mu Wan leaned back in her seat and said sharply.

Before he started the car, Liu Qianxiu looked at her, stretched out his hand to fasten her seat belt, and asked softly: “What information?”

“Oh.” Mu Wan licked her lips, looked at him, and made an analogy, “Just I was being kept or something like that...”

Liu Qianxiu’s expression remained unchanged, but Mu Wan still added in time, saying, “I am not really being kept. In fact, any actress with better resources would be suspected like that behind her back....”

Her recent resources should be considered relatively good. From this week to next week, she’s got jobs every day, and all of them are her favorite roles.

With a slight puckered lip line, Liu Qianxiu said lightly, “I can invest in your drama or movie.”

“Huh?” Mu Wan was taken aback but quickly recovered. She smiled and looked at Liu Qianxiu and felt that he is a little cute. Then she said, “Although your doctor’s salary is high, it’s still a bit difficult to invest in a movie or drama.” After that, Mu Wan said bluntly, “Just be an honest doctor. If you want to live in a good house and drive a good car, I will earn more money for you!”

“How will you earn more money?” Liu Qianxiu seriously asked.

“I’m doing more filming!” Mu Wan said without care, “I tell you, I’m just lazy. If I get serious, I could make a lot of money. Anyway, I definitely earn more money than you.”

Mu Wan’s tone is determined and serious. Before she finished talking, the man next to her bowed his head and kissed her. His kiss melted all her hardness into water.

Her heart moved slightly as Mu Wan looked back at him. Liu Qianxiu pulled the corners of his lips slightly and said, “Okay, you make more money to support me, and I will serve you.”

Her earlobes were so red as if blood was dripping. Mu Wan’s heart fell soft, but her mouth was pretentious as she looked at Liu Qianxiu directly and happily asked, “How to serve?”

Liu Qianxiu looked at her deeply, his body leaned over her again, kissing her earlobe, and his voice was as deep as a spring.

“I do as you say?”

The author has something to say:
Patriarch of the Liu Family: Okay, you support me.
Mu Wan: No. I don’t think so.

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 386

~A BLOCKBUSTER AND MOISTENING THINGS SILENTLY ~

Two days later, the sound of firecrackers was echoing.

People in the Capital rushed to the entrance of Ni Yun Fang one after another, ready to watch Ni Yun Fang’s opening.

When they arrived and saw the high platform built in front of the door, they couldn’t help but point out and talk about it.

“What are they trying to do?”

“I’m not sure. From the looks of it, could it be that they wants to perform some singing or dancing?”

“This is Embroidery Store, right? Wouldn’t performing songs and dances look out of place?”

Mu Yunyao stood upstairs. Seeing that almost all people had gathered, she turned her head towards Caiyi and nodded, “Let’s begin.”

As everyone was discussing, there was suddenly the sound of a pipe being played, and the snow-white screen was pulled up onto the stage.

Yu Wang and Yue Wang sat on the second floor of a restaurant not far away from Ni Yun Fang, allowing them to clearly see the situation on the stage. “A blank screen? Do they want to perform and paint?”

As Yue Wang sipped the wine, curiosity could be seen in his eyes. “I’m not sure either, but that’s not a screen. It’s an embroidery frame.”

Yu Wang could not help but widen his eyes. “Embroidery frame? For such a large embroidery frame, could it be that they are going to perform embroidery on the spot?” Such a large embroidery frame and silk cloth, it would probably take at least a year or so to embroider it, right?

The people below were also curious. As they watched, they saw ten beautiful embroidery ladies walk up onto the stage. Each of them had a piece of colorful embroidery thread in their hands. Their slender fingers held shining embroidery needles as they danced along with the music.

Their dancing posture was beautiful, and their skirt danced in the wind. When they moved, the colorful silk threads swayed like dazzling multicolored light.

“Look at that silk cloth!” Suddenly someone screamed.

As the embroidery lady’s sleeves fluttered, bits of color quickly appeared on the snow-white silk cloth. At first, the color was scattered, so it was hard to tell what pattern it was. Gradually, the pattern became clear.

“Flying Beauty....”

The multi-colored silk threads swayed, and occasionally people could see the light of the embroidery needles flashing. The ten embroidery ladies were like fairies. Wherever they passed, the white silk curtains would gradually be filled with various colors.

One pattern after another became clear, and more and more images of beauties appeared on the silk cloth. Beauties dance arrogantly with the wind, beauties picking up flowers while beaming with spring on their rosy cheeks, or standing quietly by the water’s edge with frowning eyebrows, or leaning against the window and crying sorrowfully …

Everyone stared at the silk cloth, and they could not help but follow the beauty that appeared on the silk cloth, either joy or sorrow, gradually blending in their emotions into it. The sound of the silk bamboo was slow, and it was too late to say anything. Just as everyone was feeling sorrowful, they heard a rumbling sound from the high platform. The wooden frame holding the silk cloth broke apart, and the silk cloth slowly began to fall on the ground.

The crowd could not help but cry out in alarm that the beauty fell to the ground and was contaminated with dust, which was even more sad and lamentable.

However, before people could even finish their sentence, the silk cloth slowly fell to the ground, and a woman’s silhouette appeared behind it. Her back was facing the crowd, her black hair was like a waterfall, her figure was graceful and elegant, her slim arms were slightly spread open, and she stood silently with a long tassel ribbon, just like the beauties that appeared on the silk cloth.

“Ah, the goddess has descended to the mortal world....” The crowd didn’t know how to describe the girl in front of them. She clearly didn’t turn around, only revealing her back. However, they felt that the girl in front of them was the beauty that appeared on the silk cloth.

Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, the woman slowly turned around, revealing a beautiful face. She slowly danced, and her dance making her appear even more beautiful than on the silk cloth. With the blooming hibiscus flowers on her head, its petals quivered as she danced, and the long silk veil swirled and fluttered around her, making her feel even more beautiful. She was a beauty that transcended the mundane world.

In the restaurant, Yu Wang leaned over the window as he looked carefully at the woman on the stage.

“Fourth Imperial Brother, do you see what’s going on? How can they embroider be so fast? It was even faster than painting. In the blink of an eye, the ten embroidery ladies had already finished embroidering a portrait of a beauty … There was also that girl who danced so beautifully. It was even better than the palace dancers. Where did miss Mu find such a person?”

There was a hint of joy in Yue Wang’s eyes. This display of skills was enough to make Ni Yun Fang a blockbuster.

The sound of the silk bamboo stopped, and the silk cloth that had fallen on the ground slowly rose up, blocking the woman’s figure on the stage. Everyone could not help but exclaim in surprise as they looked around. However, they saw nothing, only saw silk cloth and no beauties.

“It’s... it’s so beautiful.”

The crowd refused to disperse for a long time, as they looked forward to meeting the beauty, who had danced just now. However, they saw that Ni Yun Fang had also put away the silk cloth with the painting of beauties. Soon after, someone came to tear down the stage in front of the entrance and even cleaned the floor before carefully hanging up the signboard. After that, there was no other movement.

“It’s over just like that?”

“Yeah, why does it feel like my heart is empty?”

“I share the same feeling. I feel so lost....”

Cai Yi went back upstairs. Her forehead was slightly covered in sweat. However, her eyes were particularly bright. “Miss, this servant is fortunate to live up to your trust and didn’t disappoint you.”

“From now on, you are the shipkeeper of Ni Yun Fang. You were hired by me, but you didn’t sign the indenture contract with me. Therefore, you don’t have to call yourself a servant in front of me.” Mu Yunyao turned around to look at her, her eyes filled with praise.

Cai Yi shook her head, “Although I am a woman, know the grace of life-saving, and I should pay you back. Miss rescued me from the sea of suffering, so I will be your servant. From today onwards, if there is any dispatch, I dare not fail.”

Mu Yunyao smiled and did not continue to refute her. “I have already told you in detail about the temperament of some of ladies and madams in the Capital. It shouldn’t be a problem for you to entertain them with your intelligence. We doing business and pay attention to harmony to make money, but we don’t have to swallow it. If you are bullied or have any problems that cannot be solved, you can send people to the Su family to find me. I will naturally come forward.”

“Yes, Miss, please be at ease. This servant will definitely have a good sense of propriety.”

Mu Yunyao didn’t personally come out to entertain the guests who came to Ni Yun Fang. There were many rules in the Capital, and not many ladies and madams would buy clothes in person. Even if they did, it was likely that the servants who will come forward. In addition, as long as the clothes are well made, there is no need to worry they can’t sell them.

Before long, a customer had arrived. Seeing that Cai Yi was well-received, Mu Yunyao was even more at ease. On the other side, Bu Xian Luo opened very quietly and only put a hanging of firecrackers. On the contrary, there are several more tea stalls on the wharf, city gate, and roadside. The prices are very low-priced, and the taste is good. Those who operated the stalls were all elderly people or people with disabilities. After careful inquiry, people know that they received funding from Bu Xian Luo and helped them open up a tea stall. The items, tea leaves, and other things that they needed to open up the tea stall were all provided by Bu Xian Luo, but the money they earned was also theirs. The price is more affordable and makes it convenient for those who were truly thirsty.

Many people were touched when they heard this. They had long heard of Mu Yunyao’s good name and knew that Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo had done many good deeds. However, they hadn’t expected that today’s opening day would bring the common people in the Capital benefit.

Especially on the wharf, it’s hard to carry goods back and forth. The long-term workers earn hard-earned money. Even if they drink water, they are reluctant to give up. Now that they had cheap tea, they could spend one coin for the whole day to drink it. Sometimes, they were really short on money, and the old men who made the tea did not even accept money at all. They even pickle some side dishes and provide them to the men who eat dry food with hot tea at noon.

In a short time, the good name of Bu Xian Luo spread, the limelight even overshadowed Ni Yun Fang.

Incurable Chapter 36 Part 1

At the other end of the phone, Liu Qingyuan suppressed his emotions and breathed deeply.

Liu Qianxiu looked down outside the window, the wild cat running back and forth at the wet ground, as he hung up the phone.

Listened to the busy tone on the phone, Liu Qingyuan’s self-esteem seemed to have been stepped by Liu Qianxiu. His expression was heavy, his eyes under his gold-rimmed glasses were dark and cold, and his white eyes glared. He paced back and forth in the office, and when he couldn’t hold his anger anymore, Liu Qingyuan raised his hand and broke his mobile phone in his hand.

“Fuck!” Elegance and dignity disappeared in a moment, and Liu Qingyuan burst into a rough sentence.

He can’t stand him anymore.

Buttoning the shirt button slowly, Liu Qianxiu walked to the sofa, took the book, and started cultivating in the morning.

Mu Wan did a great job last night. She was so tired because of the audition and stayed up all night. Her body was exhausted to the peak, so she slept soundly, and her sleep quality was good. But at seven o’clock, Mu night opened his eyes and woke up.

Outside the window, it began to drizzle again. The bedroom was wet and cool with the air conditioner on. Mu Wan glanced at the bed and found that she was alone.

“Liu Qianxiu?” Mu Wan didn’t know how many times he did it last night, and Mu Wan had no strength to control her scream. After losing control, her throat is now dry and hoarse. She called out Liu Qianxiu with some pitiful grievances.

Her voice was faint, but Liu Qianxiu in the living room could hear her through the bedroom door.

The bedroom door opened, and Liu Qianxiu pushed in. She was sitting on the bed, with a small face and bright features. Her body was covered with a thin white blanket, her dark thick curly hair hung over her narrow shoulders, and her collarbone was straight, like a newly formed fairy hidden in a flower bud.

Liu Qianxiu walked over, held her in his arms, and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

“What have you been doing?” Mu Wan vaguely accepted the kiss and clung to him softly, with some pain in her waist. Thinking of yesterday, Mu Wan’s face got hot again.

It turns out that the relationship between men and women was such a comfortable thing to do. No wonder men and women indulge in it after they are together.

He can indulge overnight, and after indulgence, he will put his mind away. He is still the pure-hearted Liu Daochang. Not stained with mortal dust, immortal breath is ethereal.

“Morning cultivation.” Liu Qianxiu replied.

Sure enough, Mu Wan laughed.

When she laughed, her shoulders trembled slightly. Last night, when things were over, Liu Qianxiu washed her body, and she fell asleep without wearing any clothes, just wrapped in a white blanket. Now she and Liu Qianxiu are hugging each other, the white blanket on her body slides down, revealing Mu Wan’s fairer skin. Liu Qianxiu’s chest was rubbing against her as her shoulders shook her whole body.

His eyes darkened, and Liu Qianxiu picked up Mu Wan in his arms together with the thin blanket. Mu Wan laughed, and her slender arms wrapped around his neck. Liu Qianxiu back to the living room, and he sat on the sofa with her in his arms.

There are books on the table, which are still boring ancient books. The book consists of only a few words, and the artistic conception is far away. Liu Qianxiu likes to see it, but Mu Wan doesn’t.

The air in the living room was also a bit cold. Mu Wan didn’t wear anything inside, just wrapped in a thin blanket, and her body was enclosed by Liu Qianxiu in his arms like a small snowball.

Liu Qianxiu read a book at ease while hugged Mu Wan. After a while, her body became hot and warm, like a small stove. Her body was moved in his arms, squirm slightly.

However, Liu Qianxiu remained unmoved. Finally, she simply turned her body to him, raised her head, and kissed him. Her kiss was small and delicate, like a kitten. She opened her mouth lightly and let out a small moan. Her dark and clear eyes filled with broken stars.

Just for a moment, the noise is unwitting, but it seems to be poking at his heart. Liu Qianxiu looked down, and the color of his eyes is a little darker than before.

Liu Qianxiu looked at Mu Wan. Her shoulders were pink, like a peach that had just matured on a tree. Her throat trembled slightly as she raised her head and kissed the corner of his lips.

Mu Wan felt his body stiffen.

But he was still cold and abstinent, like an immortal Taoist in front of a lonely lamp. His eyes were fixed on her, and he smiled as if he had not been moved.

Mu Wan bit his lower lip, and his lips become ruddy. There was a little blood loss in the bitten place, which was transparent and white.

“Are you doing anything this morning?” Mu Wan asked softly. The tips of her eyes had turned red as if she had dyed them red.

Liu Qianxiu deeply looked at her. Then he said with a low voice, hiding some hoarseness.

“No.”

Mu Wan laughed like a flower that just bloomed, and then she kissed him again. Liu Qianxiu’s throat moved slightly, and he put down the book in his hand. His palms were dry and slightly hot as he held her shoulder.

“Can you bear it?”

weather”Of course I can bear it.” Mu Wan said as she hugged his arms and whispered in his ear, “I can bear as much as you want.”

Mu Wan was pressed down on the sofa.

They went crazy all day and were completely self-absorbed. The next day, Liu Qianxiu went to work, and Mu Wan went to the photography base because she had a scene to shoot today.

Mu Wan’s scenes are not too many and will be finished before Liu Qianxiu gets off work. After shooting, the two irresponsible parents decided to take Zhou Yi and the others back from Xu Xingkong’s home.

At the beginning of autumn, the weather has been extremely fierce. However, Mu Wan’s shooting is still going well. The role she took this time had no outdoor activity or movement, just indoors. She dressed in cheap tulle clothes, and blowers and fans were blowing back and forth in the room.

This drama is a crudely-made web drama, adapted from one of the light-hearted and funny novels that Mu Wan read when she was in the Taoist temple a few days ago. After reading the novel, she is considered to have read the script. When Li Nan ask her which drama she wanted to act the day before yesterday, she also mentioned this one.

She acts the role of a large court lady and has an ambiguous relationship with a concubine. The two of them are lilies who hide their lines. It is because of this lily line, so it can only be made into a web drama.

Mu Wan doesn’t have too many scenes, and the shooting time is relatively concentrated, so she has a lot of free time in the crew. When she’s not shooting the scene, she went to Gao Mei to ask for a novel.

Gao Mei is filming a spy war drama today in the Republic of China area of the photography base, while Mu Wan is in the ancient costume palace area. Although the districts are different, it is close to each other and not far away.

Mu Wan left the palace and entered Long Street in the Republic of China area. The streets were crowded with different crews, and the actors are in full swing. The actors wore winter clothes and summer clothes, and they all look quite heated.

Although she played a supporting role all year round, she is basically familiar with the photography base. She entered an alley with ease and walked towards a house. More than a dozen households in an alley and seven or eight households are used to filming. They are all shooting inside the house, so there is no one in the alley.

Because there was no one, Mu Wan naturally looked up when someone appeared.

Mu Qing wore a high-forked cheongsam with her long hair was curled up. The lily-patterned cheongsam was holy and elegant. She looked slender, graceful, and had a special temperament.

She came out with the assistant behind her. The little girl was not as tall as her, and it took extra effort to hold an umbrella. She was out outside all alone, but she didn’t dare to let Mu Qing get a trace of sunlight.

In this way, the two met in the alley.

Mu Wan was standing in the sun, so her white skin was slightly sunburned. When she subconsciously looked up and saw that it was Mu Qing, then she retracted her gaze, as if she had seen a stranger, and continued to walk forward without changing her face.

She was also wearing costumes, and the cheap yarn quality contrasts sharply with her exquisite cheongsam. Mu Qing felt relieved, and a trace of contempt and sarcasm flashed in her eyes.

She can shoot again, and the filming is still such an indiscriminate web drama. The production is rough, and the role is not painful or itchy. Shuttling around the photography base alone, not even have an assistant to hold an umbrella.

Mu Wan was able to film and suppressed the power of the Shen family. In the beginning, Mu Qing thought that she had found a backer to suppress her prosperity. But now it seems that this backer is nothing more than that, and her backer is no more influence than hers.

~ SHOTGUN WEDDING ~ 

“Do you think we will hit it at once?” Su Jinbei touched her chin and said.

Zhou Shiyun coughed softly, “Anything like this could happen.”

“Then, what will we do if we have a child?”

Zhou Shiyun glanced at her, “Since this matter is advanced, our business should also be ahead of time.”

“Our business?”

“Get married.”

Su Jinbei blinked, “Shotgun wedding.”

Zhou Shiyun said naturally, “Even if we don’t have a child now, we will get married.”

Su Jinbei chuckled and said, “I haven’t played enough yet. I don’t want to get married.”

As soon as the conversation was over, she realized that someone had pinched her hand in his hand. Su Jinbei raised his eyebrows to look at him, “What’s wrong? I’m a woman in the new era. Have you ever seen a female star get married so early? Hey, don’t think that the rules of your Zhou family can really tie me down.”

“Okay.”

Su Jinbei was taken aback, “What a...”

“If you don’t want to get married, we won’t. We’ll talk about it when you want to get married. I’ll wait for you.” Zhou Shiyun said.

He said it lightly, as if he was only talking about an everyday thing. But whenever you want, I’ll wait for you ... Can any man say such a thing? Su Jinbei is a little uncertain. Maybe he actually doesn’t want to get married so early?

“Zhou Shiyun, do you want to marry me sooner?” Su Jinbei asked tentatively.

She stared straight into his eyes for fear of missing some expression. His eyes looked very quiet under the gray light of the hospital, without any surprise, as if there was only a lonely moon in the sky at night.

Su Jinbei suddenly felt a little flustered. She was worried that the answer would be no, which was strange. She usually shouted every day that she was in her prime and didn’t want to get married.

“Yes.” The low voice broke the silence of the hospital.

Su Jinbei trembled slightly, listening to Zhou Shiyun, “Su Jinbei, I really want to.”

The nurse came out of the room with the report, “Mr. Zhou, Miss Su, the report has come out.”

Zhou Shiyun quickly stood up, “What’s the result?”

The nurse handed the report to him, “Well, Miss Su’s urine test was negative, and the color Doppler ultrasound also showed that she was not pregnant.”

Su Jinbei walked over with a complex expression, “Not pregnant? Are you sure I am not pregnant?”

“It’s true. There is nothing wrong with the examination, and your nausea may just be the cause of the food.” The nurse said.

Su Jinbei curled her lips. She should be happy, but why is she also feeling disappointed? She actually wanted to have a child with Zhou Shiyun.

Maybe it’s a little boy who looks like Zhou Shiyun, so he must be handsome. If it’s a little girl, it’s good to be as beautiful as her. However, there is no baby!!

“Miss Su, you are still young. You will have it in the future.” The little nurse looked at Su Jinbei’s face and quickly comforted her.

Su Jinbei laughed a few times, “What are you talking about? I’m not in a hurry...”

After that, she raised her eyes and looked at Zhou Shiyun. He looked at the list and didn’t move his eyes for a while.

“Baby Zhou?” This won’t be a shock...

“Let’s go.” Zhou Shiyun stretched out his hand, pulled her wrist, and squeezed the list in his hand, “Go home.”

He led her forward, and the guards also followed not far away. Su Jinbei wore a mask and looked at his profile through the sunglasses. “Beb, are you feeling lost?”

Zhou Shiyun looked back and said, “No.”

“Tsk, obviously.” Su Jinbei raised her eyebrows, “Just as the nurse said, we are still young and will have it in the future.”

“I am a doctor. You don’t need to tell me about these.”

Su Jinbei, “...I’m afraid you can’t think about it.”

“No, it’s actually good.” Zhou Shiyun said lightly, “It’s not good for you to get pregnant before marriage.”

Su Jinbei smiled and stretched out her arm to hold his arm, “You are right. Then...Baby Zhou, should we take precautions?”

Zhou Shiyun paused, “What?”

Su Jinbei looked at the people following them and then whispered close to his ear, “There is a convenience store next to the hospital. Baby Zhou, don’t blame me for not reminding you. Remember to buy it.”

Zhou Shiyun, “......” 

A couple brought their children to the convenience store to buy food. Suddenly, they found five or six tall men in black uniforms standing outside the convenience store. They were motionless and looked quite serious.

The little child held by the husband flattened his mouth and was obviously frightened.

The wife pulled her husband’s arm and whispered, “Let’s go and buy it somewhere else.”

The husband nodded, agreeing, “Go, go, there seems to be a triad here.”

Five or six bodyguards looked at each other, “......”

They didn’t want to stand here for a moment, either. Who would make the Second Young Master and Young Lady suddenly want to go shopping inside!

~ ARE YOU PREGNANT? ~ 

In the afternoon tea, several junior members of the Zhou family sat with Mrs. Huo, drinking tea and chatting.

Su Jinbei was still upset about the photos that burst out this morning. Shao Suying naturally would not let go of this opportunity to insult her, “Su Jinbei, what kind of clothes are you wearing?”

Su Jinbei “... That’s a country style.”

After Hei Di’s verification, these photos came from a little nurse who went with her. Initially, she just posted it to Moments. She thought it was fun and not malicious, but she didn’t expect it to be stolen from her Weibo, and then it spread more and more widely.

“Puff, I am laughing to death. Second Brother, Don’t you care about it?”

Zhou Shiyun took a sip of tea calmly, “I think it’s pretty good.”

“Did you hear that?” Su Jinbei looked at Shao Suying proudly, with a look of the attitude of the elders educating the juniors, “Suying, you don’t know the hardships there. Not everyone is as rich and well-off as you are.”

“That makes sense.” Mrs. Huo nodded, “You kid just hasn’t lived a hard life. Learn more from your sister-in-law.”

“Grandma, what am I going to learn? She’s going because she follows Second Brother to go to that border. Who can I go with?”

Zhou Shiyun glanced at her, “If you want to go, there is still a chance next year.”

Shao Suying said, “...”

Su Jinbei watched Shao Suying cringe with glee. But at this moment, there was sudden nausea in her stomach, so Su Jinbei put down the matcha dessert in her hand, covered her mouth, and retched.

Because she had eaten relatively bland food in the mountains before, she had a big fish and meat meal after she returned. But it seemed that she couldn’t digest well. In addition, she had eaten several snacks just now, suddenly feeling slightly nauseous.

In Su Jinbei’s eyes, her retching was impolite, but the matter was a big deal in other people’s eyes.

When Su Jinbei raised her eyes after pressing down nausea in her stomach, she suddenly realized that everyone present was staring at her. Su Jinbei was taken aback, “What, what’s the matter?”

Mrs. Huo’s usual calm eyes sparkled at this moment, “Jinbei, are you....”

“I think so. How could Second Brother be.... before marriage .... cough cough.” Shao Suying glanced at Mrs. Huo and got stuck in time.

However, Zhou Shiyun’s expression was a bit weird. He looked at Su Jinbei’s flat abdomen with something strange in his eyes. Su Jinbei pulled his sleeve awkwardly. What are you looking at? You can really see a child coming!

“Shiyun, Jinbei, it’s really impossible?” Who is Mrs. Huo? Is she a human spirit? Just by looking at Zhou Shiyun’s look and Su Jinbei’s slightly flustered look, she can guess one or two of them.

Zhou Zhengxian also looked at Zhou Shiyun. His thinking was the same as Shao Suying’s. To tell the truth, he knows his brother well, so he was unlikely to cross that line before marriage.

But unexpectedly, Zhou Shiyun pursed his lips and suddenly said. “I am not sure.”

“Cough, cough, cough...” Zhou Zhengxian was almost choked by the tea. Not sure? Not sure?!

Shao Suying was stunned. Her eyes circled around Zhou Shiyun and Su Jinbei. Sure enough, she was Su Jinbei. Even Second Brother was so cold, she could win him so quickly...

Mrs. Huo curled her lips and said, “It doesn’t matter if you are unsure. You will know by checking.”

Su Jinbei was frightened by several people around her, “Then what? Don’t listen to his nonsense. I know. I know very well that I am definitely not pregnant.”

“Zhou Yan.”

“Old Madam.”

“Let the chauffeur get ready and send Miss Su for an examination.”

Zhou Yan, “Yes.”

Su Jinbei, “...Grandma, you don’t have to stir up so many people.”

Mrs. Huo stretched out her hand to caress the back of Su Jinbei’s hand, “Good Girl. Go and take a look first. In case you really pregnant ... you and Shi Yun will have a psychological preparation.”

Su Jinbei, “...”

What kind of psychological preparation? I’m not prepared at all!

Mrs. Huo especially sent a team to protect Su Jinbei. After arriving at the hospital, Su Jinbei underwent a series of examinations. During this process, she was in a state of confusion. Where is she ...What is she doing ... Pregnant ... No way ...

After finishing the examination, she just needs to wait for the news. Su Jinbei walked up to Zhou Shiyun’s side and sat on the chair. Zhou Shiyun was stunned momentarily and subconsciously reached out to hold her hand.

Su Jinbei, “...”

Oh hey, can you stop looking at me like I am pregnant?

“Are you okay? Are there any discomforts?” Zhou Shiyun asked. His expression was solemn, and there was tension in his eyes.

Su Jinbei looked at him silently. His reaction made her feel mixed feelings. When Su Jinbei was lying inside, she thought it must be tough to deal with if she had a child. She still has a job, and there are many things to do. It’s nothing to drag around a little...

But when she sees Zhou Shiyun now, her mind suddenly changes. The picture of Zhou Shiyun and the little baby together seems warm.

~ TAKE REFUGE IN THE FIRST PRINCE ~ 

After sending the parrot out, Mu Yunyao returned to her room and started to ponder over what was written in Yue Wang’s letter. These days, she wasn’t only busy with the matters of Ni Yun Fang, but she also paid a lot of attention to the matter of Bu Xian Luo. It was just a teahouse, but it was completely different from the embroidery store. So, it was impossible to adapt the methods of Ni Yun Fang to Bu Xian Luo.

The shopkeeper in charge of Bu Xian Luo in the Capital has surnamed Yue and was Yue Wang’s trusted aide. He was familiar with the corresponding things in Bu Xian Luo with Steward Qin. Before coming to the Capital, he had been told repeatedly to treat Miss Mu with extreme respect and treat her like his master. Thus, when he heard that Mu Yunyao had left the residence, he hurriedly rushed to Ni Yun Fang over to seek an audience.

“Greetings, Miss Mu.”

“Shopkeeper Yue, there’s no need to be so polite. Jin Lan, please serve the tea.”

“Thank you, Miss Mu. In fact, I’m here this time because I want to ask Miss Mu for advice.”

Mu Yunyao slightly nodded. “Is it because of the matter of Bu Xian Luo’s opening?”

“Yes, I heard that Miss Mu has prepared a new set of plans for the opening of Ni Yun Fang. Now that it all set up, I thought I’d come and wanted to ask if there’s anything I can do about Bu Xian Luo.” Shopkeeper Yue was a bit embarrassed. However, he recalled that Steward Qin had said that if I am unsure about something, I could come and consult Miss Mu for advice. He felt uneasy if he doesn’t come to ask.

Mu Yunyao smiled. “Actually, I’ve already thought about the opening of Bu Xian Luo a long time ago. Bu Xian Luo is a teahouse, so the business is also different from Ni Yun Fang. Ni Yun Fang is filled with ladies and young ladies, and it’s bustling with noise and excitement. However, Bu Xian Luo faces mostly male guests, so it’s bustling with elegance. The opening of the two is naturally different.”

When Shopkeeper Yue heard this, he immediately felt his heart light up: “That’s right.”

Mu Yunyao continued, “Ni Yun Fang can be very popular because no matter how famous you are, it’s only an embroidery store. It does women’s business and can’t become a big deal. While BU Xian Luo, it was enough to seek stability. At the moment, it was the best plan that was calm and steady. So you don’t have to think too much about makes the opening a bit more lively? It’s not bad to be plain and light.”

“But if that’s the case, won’t it be difficult to create an opening?”

“There was once an elder who told me that it takes a bit of time to moisturize things for a long time without making a sound. If Shopkeeper Yue is interested, you might as well learn from Jingling City and set up some tea stalls on the wharf, city gate, and both sides of the road. It can also be said that you have accumulated some good names by providing tea for others.”

Shopkeeper Yue quickly noted it down in his mind: “Yes, it should be like this. I will follow Miss’s previous words told shopkeeper Qin before. I will pay extra attention when setting up the tea stand so as not affect other people’s business.”

Mu Yunyao nodded her head. “This is for the best. In addition, you should pay more attention to the guests. After all, the Capital is not like other places.

There are more noble people, and there are more unnatural things. Don’t offend others easily. There is a limit to how much the guest can afford, and there is also a limit to how many guests can be entertained every day. Don’t be greedy. Let Bu Xian Luo’s Si Cha be more meticulous and speak less if they can. Just make a good brew of the tea in their hands.”

The purpose of establishing Bu Xian Luo is to help Yue Wang converge the news. However, the Capital was filled with people, and if something was wrong, it could be easily exposed. In the past few months, or even half a year, Bu Xian Luo would have to act as low-key as possible, and standing a firm foothold in the Capital was the most important.

Shopkeeper Yue’s heart trembled as he hurriedly bowed to Mu Yunyao. “Thank you for the advice, Miss.”

“Everything else is just as usual. In addition, the accounts should be recorded clearly. The Chinese New Year will be more than two months away. It is inevitable to have porridge during Laba and New Year. Also, you will have to spend more silver at that time. These things are not urgent, so we can just slowly prepare them in the future.”

“Yes, after hearing what Miss Mu has said, I finally have some confidence. I’ll go back and make the arrangements.”

Mu Yunyao nodded. “Jin Lan, send Shopkeeper Yue out.”

After sending off Shopkeeper Yue, Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but think of Qi Ming. At this time, Qi Ming should have gone to the First Prince to seek refuge.

It was night. In the First Prince’s Palace, the physician carefully withdrew the silver needles and reported to the steward, “Steward, he is temporarily out of danger. You should to take good care of him and feed him medicine on time. He should be able to wake up in the middle of the night.”

“Ok, sorry to trouble you, physician.”

After sending off the physician, the steward returned to the study room in the front courtyard. He looked at Ling Wang, who was reading a book behind the table, and said, “Your Highness, that person is indeed Qi Ming who cheated the salt merchant in Yangzhou before.”

Ling Wang put down the book in his hand, and his eyebrows wrinkled involuntarily: “Qi Ming. I have been looking for him for so long, but I didn’t expect that he take the initiative to send himself to the door. Can anyone find out who is hunted him down?”

“The person who caught him had committed suicide, so we didn’t find any useful clues. However, we found a few shreds of paper oon Qi Ming’s body. It seems that they haven’t been burnt completely. Please have a look, Your Highness.”

Ling Wang took a few shreds of paper, and when he saw the words written on them, he suddenly sat up straight. His eyes flashed with a sharp light: “This handwriting …. It’s Ning Junjin....”

“Is there anything else?”

“There’s nothing else.”

After thinking about it carefully for a moment, Ling Wang suddenly revealed a smile, “Have someone take good care of Qi Ming, and don’t let him die. Also, keep an eye on Jin Wang and see if there are any movements from him recently. As soon as Qi Ming wakes up, come over and report it to me.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

In the latter half of the night, Qi Ming woke up in a daze. Not long after he woke up, he heard footsteps at the door, and then Ling Wang walked in.

Qi Ming turned pale with fright: “Ling…Ling…”

“It seems that you know me. This is rather strange. Aren’t you a merchant? How do you know me?”

Qi Ming looked around, seeing the unfamiliar arrangement, and a look of despair flashed in his eyes: “His Royal Highness Ling Wang sent people to capture me was probably to kill me and vent his anger on me. Since that’s the case, then please make a move.”

“If I really wanted to kill you to vent my anger, would I even let a physician treat your wounds?”

Qi Ming moved and wanted to get up, but then lay back on the bed due to the pain: “Why did you send people to to chase me, tand then you asked someone to save me? Do you want to use this kindness to win me over?”

Ling Wang frowned: “I have never sent anyone to hunt you down. Instead, I sent someone to kill the assassin that was chasing you and save your life. As for who actually wants to kill you, don’t you have any speculation in your heart?”

“Not you?” Qi Ming frowned and thought for a while before his face suddenly changed, “Could it be … That’s impossible!”

Seeing Qi Ming like this, Ling Wang’s eyes flashed with a smile: “You should have guessed it right, the one who wants to kill you is your Master, Jin Wang!”

“This is impossible… I have made great contributions for Master....” Qi Ming clenched his teeth and burst out in grief and anger. Because he was too excited, the wound on his chest started to seep out blood. “Your Highness … Are you trying to set me up?”

“It seems that you should have guessed in your heart. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have such a huge reaction due to my words.”

Qi Ming closed his eyes and no longer looked at Ling Wang. No matter what he said, there was no response.

Ling Wang slightly narrowed his eyes and turned his head to the steward beside him. “Take good care of Lord Qi. Ask the best physician and use the best medicine. Make sure that Lord Qi recovers as soon as possible.” 

“Yes.”

~ THERE IS A PARROT CALLED A GOOSE ~ 

The envelope was painted with a Plum Blossom Tree. Under the tree, there was a cat that was curled up into a ball. A butterfly was approaching seems to want to rest on the cat’s ear with an indescribable aura.

Yue Wang’s eyes turned colder: “I thinks it’s pretty good.”

Yu Heng couldn’t help but bared his teeth. Wang Ye, you never liked printing on letters in the past. This envelope....”

Eunuch Cheng, who stood by Yu Heng’s side, raised his stiff leg and kicked viciously at him when he heard these words. “It already very good-looking. If you have bad eyes, you can eat some fish to replenish your eyes. Don’t mislead Your Highness here. Your Highness, the letter has been written. How about let this old servant deliver it personally for you?”

In his previous correspondence, Old Qin always praised how well and how good Miss Mu was. He had long been curious about her in his heart, but it was a pity that he couldn’t meet he when he was in Western Guangdong. Now that he came to the Capital, he had to see her with his own eyes.

Yue Wang shook his head: “Uncle Cheng, a lot of people are paying attention to Ni Yun Fang now, so it’s inconvenient for you to see Yunyao. I’ll invite her over to the mansion as a guest another day.” He naturally understood the meaning behind Eunuch Cheng’s words. It was just that he had already thought of a way to deliver the letter and could not let Eunuch Cheng disrupt his plans.

Eunuch Cheng sighed with great pity and then spoke with hope, “Your Highness, have you thought when are you going to invite Miss Mu here as a guest? Don’t you think the mansion needs to be overhauled? Speaking of which, this mansion had been built many years ago, and many of the places looked old and worn out. The mansion’s foundations were not good, and the scenery was unsightly no matter how one looked at it. I heard that the ladies in the Capital loved Jiangnan-style gardens best, such as Jin Xiu Garden in Jingling City was not bad. Otherwise, Wang Ye, you could have flattened the Martial Arts Practice Grounds, planted some precious flowers, dug a lotus pond, and planted some weeping willows.

Do you want to learn from Jin Xiu Garden how to draw a freshwater garden? And raise some big fish....”

Yu Heng patted the footprints on his body and interrupted Eunuch Cheng, “You don’t need to say anymore. If you keep talking, the entire mansion will disappear. The Martial Arts Practice Grounds is Wang Ye’s favorite place. There are many people training in it every day. How could you say to flatten that place? In addition, you still need to draw in the freshwater. Is it possible to dig a river for you in in the Capital?”

Eunuch Cheng had thought it was beautiful, but he had been interrupted by Yu Heng, and his face suddenly darkened. Because he lost one eye, his face had a strange expression. Now he has no expression on his face as if it can stop the child from crying at night. “What did you just say?”

Yu Heng quickly stopped himself, “Eunuch Cheng, I… I was just joking. I also think the mansion should be renovated.”

Eunuch Cheng nodded his head in satisfaction, “Wang Ye, what do you think? Ah, where is Wang Ye?”

Yu Heng shook his head. He was too busy talking to Eunuch Cheng just now to notice that Wang Ye had left.

Mu Yunyao was watching Cai Yi dance in the backyard. After she finished her last move, she couldn’t help but clap her hands, “Truly beautiful beyond compare.”

Cai Yi pulled back her slender sleeves and slowly stepped forward to bow to Mu Yunyao. Her expression was especially respectful as she said, “This servant thanks Miss for the praise.”

“No need to be so courteous. It’s been hard on you to practice your dancing skills these days.”

Cai Yi quickly shook her head, “It was Miss who saved me from the fire pit. I couldn’t even repay Miss for saving my life. It wasn’t hard at all for me to just practice dancing.”

Cai Yi was the person that Mu Yunyao asked Liu Liang to find. This woman was a renowned courtesan in the Capital who was best at the rainbow dance sleeves in her previous life. Her exquisite sleeves seduced countless people, but later, when her reputation was at its peak, she committed suicide by throwing herself into the river. The reason was that the old procuress had forced her to receive a noble person. She did not want to lose her chastity, so she could only die.

Mu Yunyao had originally wanted to find a woman who was good at dancing. It could be considered a coincidence when she had occasionally heard of Caiyi’s reputation. Thus, she asked Liu Liang to go to Huayinzi to redeem her and brought her to Ni Yun Fang.

“You’ve already danced beautifully enough. There’s no need to practice anymore today. Take a good rest.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Just as Mu Yunyao was about to leave, she suddenly heard a slightly strange voice. “Guan Jiu is on the River Continent.”

Mu Yunyao raised her head to look, but she didn’t see anyone. She couldn’t help but furrow her brows. “Who is it?”

“My fair lady and gentleman is good.” The strange sound rang out once more.

Jin Lan and Si Shu hurriedly stood in front of Mu Yunyao. “Who’s playing tricks on us?”

There was the sound of flapping wings. A parrot landed on a flowering branch not far away from them. It was huge, with gorgeous red and green feathers, and had a long crown on its head. As soon as it landed, it stretched out its neck and called out: “Guan Jiu is on the River Continent. My fair lady and a gentleman is good.”

Jin Lan couldn’t help but exclaim, “Can this parrot can recite poems? And why does he have a pocket around its neck?”

Mu Yunyao couldn’t help walking closer, “Where did you fly from?”

The parrot sized up Mu Yunyao and flew from the flower branch to her feet. It puffed out its chest and stretched out its neck to continue reciting: “Guan Jiu....”

Mu Yunyao tentatively squatted down and reached out to take down the small pocket from its neck. She then took out an exquisite letter from it. The letter had a picture of a young kitten sleeping in spring, which was exceptionally adorable. Besides the little kitten, there was a small word written: Yao.

Mu Yunyao opened the letter. Upon seeing the contents of it, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud. She stretched out her finger and lightly touched the parrot’s head. “What’s your name?”

“Hongyan (Goose)! Hongyan!” Hearing these words, the parrot flapped its wings and cried out.

Jin Lan and the rest curiously surrounded him. “Isn’t this a parrot? Why are you called Hongyan (Goose)?”

“Yes, this name is surprisingly strange. Miss, do you know what that means?”

Mu Yunyao kept the letter away, “Jin Lan, cut some fresh fruits and feed it to this parrot.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Mu Yunyao returned to her room, looked at the letter in her hand, and she had a strong smile in her eyes. Many of the embroidery ladies came out to watch the excitement. Some people were curious and asked the parrot what its name was. The parrot always replied ’Hongyan’ every time in a loud and clear voice.

Mu Yunyao gently caressed the envelope in her hand as a poem flashed through her mind: Hongyan’s message, the meaning of inexhaustible love.

Seeing that Jin Lan had already fed the parrot the fruit, Mu Yunyao walked to the side of the table and took out a piece of paper. She then wrote two words on the paper: I understand.

Back then, she had written a letter to Yue Wang in Jingling City, and every time she had received a reply, his words had been extremely concise. It was time for her to let him have a taste of her words.

She placed the slip of paper back into its pocket and hung it around the parrot’s neck. Then, she stroked its feathers and said, “Quickly fly out and find your owner.”

The parrot flapped its wings and brushed against Mu Yunyao’s fingertip before quickly flying out of the wall. Outside the wall, Yue Wang raised his hand to catch the parrot. When he realized that there was a slip of paper in its pocket, he was overjoyed. When he saw the contents of the paper, he could not help but be stunned, “I understand … Is it only two words?”

~ PROSPEROUS PREPARATION ~ 

In the Capital, the news of the Eldest Madam’s purchase of the murderer made the people boil with excitement. It was a pity that there was no conclusive evidence, so it was impossible to be convicted because of the thief’s confession, which made many people wring their wrists. The news of the opening of Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo also spread throughout the City. Who knew how many people are looking forward to it.

Knowing that the Eldest Madam wouldn’t be questioned this time, Mu Yunyao didn’t continue to pay attention to her and focused all of her energy on Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo.

In the East Courtyard, Eldest Madam watched Su Yuyi finished her medicine and waved her maid away. “Yuyi, how’s the training for the girl that your big brother found before?”

Su Yuyi looked extremely impatient. “Mother, look at me. I am in pain now. Where can I still have the heart to teach her?”

The Eldest Madam creased her eyebrows. “I know you’re feeling uncomfortable right now, but your reputation is more important. Time has been delayed long enough. The person I sent to investigate the Moon Palace Fairy couldn’t find any trace of her. Thus, we can only to figure it out ourselves.”

“Is it important to think of a way or not? Right now, Mu Yunyao is in the limelight.Where would anyone pay attention to me?”

“Yuyi, how can you think like that? If this matter is not resolved clearly, people will bring up this matter every time during Mid-Autumn Festival in the future. No matter what identity you become in the future, this matter will accompany you for the rest of your life. Do you want to be like this forever?”

Su Yu Yi bit her lips and reluctantly nodded: “I’ve already taught that girl for two days. It’s more or less done. I just need to correct some details.”

“Then, you should properly teach her in these two days. In another two days, I will arrange for her to appear and completely sever your relationship with that Moon Palace Fairy.”

Su Yuyi raised her head to look at the tired Eldest Madam, with hesitation in her eyes: “Mother, I heard from a servant that right now, everyone in the Capital is spreading bad news about you. They even said that our Su family has taken a fancy to Mu Yunyao’s property. We recognize her as her relatives not to take her back, but we want to murder her for silver...”

“Don’t listen to their nonsense!” The Eldest Madam coldly snorted. Seeing Su Yuyi’s unsightly face, she slightly eased her tone and said, “Yuyi, I will take care of this matter. You don’t have to worry. Rumors have always been about catching the wind and the shadows.but when it comes to things that have never been seen, it seems very real.”

Su Yuyi nodded his head, “I also heard that Grandmother wants to help Mu Yunyao and Su You with their coming of age ceremony ....”

The Eldest Madam sat on the bedside and spoke sincerely, “Yuyi, I know that you are very proud and do not like Mu Yunyao. However, the situation now is that she is stronger than us. Thus, we can’t offend her and can only retreat for the time being. It’s just a coming age banquet. When you fly to the branches in the future, what kind of banquet can’t you do?”

“Mother, if I don’t get rid of Mu Yunyao, I won’t have another chance to get ahead again. I’ve been having nightmares these past few days. In my dreams, I’ve been repeatedly killed by Mu Yunyao, and she was the one who specifically killed me. Since she came to the Su family residence, our Su family has got bad luck another after another. Nothing is going well, and I …. I’m afraid that Idon’t have the slightest reputation in the Capital now.”

The Eldest Madam clenched her teeth. “Don’t worry, Mu Yunyao won’t be complacent for too long. Mother will definitely help you get rid of her, even if I don’t do anything, your grandmother will....”

Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo had almost fully renovated, but Mu Yunyao had become exceptionally busy right now. Some of the landscapes in Bu Xian Luo are not well repaired, so needed to be rearranged and reorganized. There were also quite a few areas that needed to be revised in order to make Niyun booklets available at Ni Yun Fang.

Previously in Jingling City, the models in the Niyun booklet were mostly based on the madams of the different residences. If there are references, they could be simplified in a useful way. However, it could not be done in the Capital. After all, there were many noble people here, and they made taboos if they are inappropriate. Therefore, the beauty portrait on Niyun’s booklet needs to be drawn out of thin air, and some clothing details also needed to be matched with the style of the Capital.

Fortunately, all the six apprentices that Mu Yunyao taught before followed over. In addition, there are the embroidery ladies who had been selected from various places. Although they were a little flustered, the results were rather impressive. However, because there are too many Niyun booklets to make, Mu Yunyao can’t do it herself. Thus, she can only make a few copies and put them in Bu Xoan Luo for the ladies who come to buy clothes to look through.

Mu Yunyao was flipping through a newly embroidered Niyun booklet. The apprentices and embroidery ladies at the side looked at her nervously, but seeing that she didn’t nod her head after a long time, their hearts involuntarily rose to their throats. “Miss, are there any needs to be modified in the booklet?”

Mu Yunyao raised her head and looked at their nervous expressions. She couldn’t help but laugh. “Not bad. I can’t find anything that needs to be modified.”

Everyone immediately cheered, and their faces were full of joy. They had already started creating this Niyun booklet a long time ago, and after revising it a few times, they were finally able to satisfy the young miss.

Mu Yunyao also laughed along. “It’s been hard on you all these days. In a while, everyone will go collect fifty taels of silver. In the next few days, it’ll be even more difficult. Let’s work together to make niyun workshop prosperous. I will definitely not treat you poorly.”

“Yes, please rest assured, Miss. We will do our best.”

“Hmm, how are the preparations for Cai Yi and the others?”

“They were practicing in the backyard. We secretly sneaked a peek, and it really deserves to be taught by the young miss herself. She’s so beautiful that it’s hard for people look away.”

“After hearing what you have to say, Im sure that this opening must be prosperous, and we will make a name for ourselves.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Yu Heng, who was in Yu Wang’s residence, reported on the movement in Ni Yun Fang. “Master, Miss Mu has had a lot of things prepared for Ni Yun Fang. Should we also prepare Bu Xian Luo?”

Yue Wang put down his brush and looked up at him. “Do you know how to prepare?”

“Subordinate… This subordinate is just a rough people, so how would I know to do that?”

“Since you don’t understand, then just quietly stand to the side. Don’t disturb me here.”

Yu Heng was still somewhat unwilling to give up. “Master, you’ve been writing for half a day. Have you been thinking of a way to make Bu Xian Luo go famous when it’s open for business?”

Yue Wang raised his head and looked at Yu Heng, his eyes filled with coldness.

Yu Heng couldn’t help but shrink his head back and turn around to see Eunuch Cheng coming in with tea. He couldn’t help but brighten his eyes as he gave him a meaningful glance.

Eunuch Cheng snorted coldly. This Yu Heng is really elm-headed. Didn’t he see that Wang Ye didn’t want to be disturbed? But, he was still noisy here, “Wang Ye, take a break and have a cup of tea. Please, have a taste of this old servant’s skills in brewing tea. This tea is the best batch Old Qin has picked for us. It is said that it has the effect of concentrating and calming our breathing. This old servant also heard that Miss Mu has been busy preparing for the opening of Ni Yun Fang for the past two days. She has been busy for quite some time already, so why don’t you personally send some tea leaves over to her?”

Yue Wang stopped writing and remembered to dry the ink on the letter before carefully putting it into the envelope.

When Yu Heng looked at the letterhead, his eyes couldn’t help but widen. It was as if he was surprised to the core, “Master, why is this envelope so fancy?”

~ VIPER LADY’S NICKNAME ~ 

“Miss Mu, I have something that I want to ask you. I wonder if you could allow me to speak with you?” Shen Binghuai looked towards Mu Yunyao.

Mu Yunyao slightly nodded. “Then may Lord Shen come to the pavilion outside and take a seat.”

Seeing Mu Yunyao and Shen Binghuai walked out, Su Wenyuan couldn’t help but look at the Eldest Madam and ask in a low voice, “How much do you know about the matter with Xun Wu?”

The Eldest Madam quickly shook her head and said, “Back to Old Master, I really don’t know how Xun Wu died.”

“Then what about Xun Wu buying those bastards?”

“This …” The Eldest Madam lowered her head and pursed her lips in silence.

Looking at her expression, Su Wenyuan’s anger rose. If it wasn’t for the presence of an outsider, he really wanted to pull the Eldest Madam up and ask her about this matter. Was this person stupid? She wanted to kill Mu Yunyao, but she bought a few hoodlums. Could she believe those hoodlums? Once the matter is revealed, they will be questioned in two or three sentences, and he has to explain it. Then, where would be the Su family’s face? Should he, the Minister of the Public Service, be treated as such?

The Eldest Madam didn’t dare say anything. At that time, she had underestimated Mu Yunyao and didn’t put her in her eyes. She felt that if she were to slightly use her abilities, wouldn’t dealing with her be an easy task? Who would have thought that the result would be her being suppressed to the point that she couldn’t even lift her head? Furthermore, in order to prevent the matter from being exposed, she secretly gave orders to Xun Wu to invite those people to have a drink after this matter is over and do some tricks in the wine.

In this way, it was guaranteed that no one would notice, and she even thought of how to silence Xun Wu, but the plan did not change in time, so Mu Yunyao was completely fine. Instead, it involved her, so she could only bite the bullet and not admit it!

Su Wenyuan coldly looked at the Eldest Madam and said, “In the next few days, you will peacefully stay at home to take care of Yuyi. You don’t need to worry about anything else. Don’t meddle in Qingwu’s matters. Mother and I will take care of it.”

“Old Master, you are the head of the family, and I am the head of the household. However, the authority of the household fell into the hands of Madam Qi of the Second Branch. How can it be a good sign? No matter what, they are unreasonable and biased. What's more, Qi dares to treat Yuyi harshly in just a few days. When we come back, Yu Yi was burnt and confused. If you wait a few days more, everyone might be killed. If the authority of the household were in my hands, I would be more at ease.”

Su Wenyuan coldly snorted. “Take care of yourself first.” At this time, she was still trying to gain power. She really had no idea what was going on! With that, he turned and left.

The Eldest Madam gritted her teeth in hatred, and her gaze fell on Mu Yunyao, who was in the pavilion outside. She wished she could cut off a piece of meat from her body, but after a while, she took a deep breath and retracted her gaze. At present, she should be calm and slow. She had suffered a great loss because she was too impatient before. Thus, she must not repeat the same mistake again in the future.

Within the pavilion, Shen Binghuai thought for a moment before speaking, “Miss Mu, I have investigated your case for a long time, but in the end, I was unable to find any useful clues.”

Mu Yunyao slightly paused for a moment, then abruptly broke into a smile, “I believe Lord Shen must have done his best. Yunyao, thank you very much, Lord.”

Looking at Mu Yunyao’s smiling face, Shen Binghuai was astonished in his heart. “Does Miss Mu not mind what happened before?”

Mu Yunyao lowered her eyes slightly. The smile on her face had an additional bitterness to it: “How could I not mind? But since Lord Shen couldn’t investigate anything, it would be really troublesome to uncover the truth. Since that’s the case, besides opening my eyes a bit, I don’t have any better methods.”

Shen Binghuai shook his head, “This official hates evil, but there are many things that are beyond the reach of me. Shuntian Manor receives many cases, big and small, every day. Many of them are piled up like hills. You can tell what happened at a glance, but I can’t close the case because of the lack of evidence. If the case cannot be settled, then it is because I am incapable.”

“Lord Shen, please do not say that. The citizens of the Capital all call you Shen Qingtian, and it is enough to see what your doing. For you to explain this matter to me in private, Yunyao is extremely grateful.” Mu Yunyao smiled as she said, “Actually, it’s better if we don’t find out about it this way. In the end, I have to be considerate of our bloodline and kinship.”

“Miss Mu is a kind-hearted person. It is only natural that you would think this way. I still have other things to do, so I will take my leave first.” Based on his position, he shouldn’t have said all this to Mu Yunyao alone. However, this girl was truly worthy of respect and pity, and he’s got a lot of work to do!

Mu Yunyao curtsied and saluted respectfully. “I’ll be sending you off, Lord Shen.”

When they returned to Jiyue Pavilion, Mu Yunyao immediately called for Jin Lan. “You go out of the residence and tell Liu Liang to let him start his move.”

The Eldest Madam originally thought that there wouldn’t be much to do after Shen Binghuai’s inquiry. But unexpectedly, in just two short days, the Su family has pushed was pushed to the limelight once again.

A thief was caught in the prison of Shuntian Manor for stealing. When he was interrogated, he suddenly mentioned that they had seen the Su family residence’s Xun Wu and also overheard the matter of Xun Wu buying a hooligan to make trouble with Mu Yunyao. He described the situation in great detail and even explained that the man who went to trouble with Old Mama Wang’s son, Wang Zhu, several times was also a hooligan bought by Xun Wu.

As for the Su family’s residence match card that appeared in Wang Zhu’s hand, he stole it when Xun Wu didn’t notice. Initially, he thought it was something valuable. But after stealing it, he realized it was only an ordinary match card. He was furious for a moment, so he threw the match card into Wang Zhu’s house, and then … the scene of Wang Zhu coming to the Shuntian Manor to file a complaint with the matching card in his hand happened.

Shen Binghuai also did not expect that things would turn out this way. After interrogating that thief in the middle of the night, he brought his men to the Su family residence once again.

The Eldest Madam would rather die than admit that she had ordered Xun Wu to do something. Since Shen Binghuai had no other choice, he could only make a move from another person’s side.

Yun Chun, Jin Lan, and Jin Qiao were also called over to ask a few questions. Mu Yunyao had already warned them earlier, so there weren’t any mistakes.

The case was not over yet, but the people already knew the answer.

The Eldest Madam’s reputation as a virtuous person had spread far and wide, but now, she has become notorious. The commoners didn’t dare to discuss the Su family’s Madam openly, so they used Viper Lady instead as a nickname. Within a few days, almost all of the officials and madams knew that the virtuous Madam Meng had the nickname of Viper Lady.

“That Viper Lady is not ordinary. On the surface, she is generous and magnanimous. However, she secretly dares to hire people for murder. Furthermore, she coveted the eighty thousand taels of silver. If it weren’t for Lord Shen’s eyes, wouldn’t she be greedy for two hundred thousand taels of silver!”

“Who is still concerned about the money? Someone has already explained that Viper Lady wants to kill them to keep their mouths shut. Don’t you think that the deaths of those bastards in Baohua Temple are strange?”

“More than a dozen people fell off the cliff at the same time and died in the same place. How could there not be something fishy?”

“It’s a pity that there is no conclusive evidence to bring this Viper Lady to justice. A few days ago, I saw Lord Shen on the street, and his hair almost turned white.”

“Lord Shen is in a tough spot.”

“The most pitiful one is still that Young Miss Biao. She almost lost her life, and her silver was taken away by greed. Her family only values her inheritance … Sigh, she is still deep in a pit of fire. Who knows when someone might secretly lay his hands on her again!”

“That’s right, what a pity. Such a kind-hearted young lady, what a pity.”

“There’s one more thing that you probably don’t know. Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo are about to open, and the good days of our people in the Capital are about to come!”

~ SHEN BINGHUAI REQUIRED ~ 

Mu Yunyao understood the Second Madam’s feelings. After all, Su You had been sick for such a long time, and she had finally recovered her health now. In addition, she had taken over the responsibility of being the housekeeper, so she was in high spirits. If she isn’t, people will inevitably see some hints. The Old Madam has lived in the Su family for many years and has a clear grasp of the whole house. If it was as Second Madam had guessed earlier, and if she was really the one who hurt Su You secretly, then she would definitely have discovered it at the very first moment.

“Since Grandmother has decided that I and Su You’s coming of age ceremony will be held together, we might as well do it according to her arrangement. There is still more than half a month to make good preparations. It should be in time.”

“Yunyao, tell me. Do you think it is her … … who want to do something to You’er at coming of age ceremony, and then blame it on you?” When she thought of this possibility, Second Madam felt a chill run down her spine. Just thinking of this possibility made her heart feel as if it was about to split apart.

Mu Yunyao’s eyes sank. Su You had most likely died around her birthday in her previous life due to severe illness. However, since Su You’s death, the Meng family and the Su family’s relationship had become closer and closer. The Meng family has also been a great help on the Third Prince’s side. Thinking about it now, it might even be true that the Old Madame did something to Su You and used Su You’s death to completely tied up the Meng family.

However, since she had returned to the Su family residence, she had dealt a few blows to the Meng family. So right now, the Meng family should be thinking about how to stabilize their position in the Imperial Court and redeem their image in the Emperor’s heart. Since they didn’t have time to pay attention to her little coming of age ceremony, and then it was the Old Madame who might use Su You to frame her.

“We have not come to a conclusion yet, Second Aunt. Don’t be anxious first. It could be that we are overthinking things.”

The Second Madam shook her head. “It is better to believe it than not. It is always right to be on guard and take precautions. If something happens, I will regret it.”

“Then I will carefully help Elder Sister Su You recuperate her body during this period of time. Second Aunt, you should be more concerned about the things that should be prepared in the ceremony. If everything really turns out as Second Aunt guessed, then we might as well make do something about it.”

“Yunyao, what do you want to do? As long as you don’t let Su You be in danger, I’ll definitely cooperate with you!”

“I still need to think about it carefully. When the time comes, I’ll discuss it in detail with Second Aunt.”

“Alright.”

Su You had already chosen some of the leather and walked over, “Little Sister Yunyao, this time you’ve suffered a loss. I’ve picked a few!”

“It doesn’t matter. Since Second Aunt has the authority of the household, she can help me out in the future.”

Su You stuck out her tongue, looking playful and cute. “I knew you were the smartest.”

The Second Madam’s smile was somewhat forced and only returned to normal after a long while.

After sending off the Second Madam, Su Qing couldn’t help but worriedly ask, “Yao’er, as the saying goes, a tiger doesn’t devour its children. Could it be that the Old Madam will really kill Su You?”

Mu Yunyao shook her head, “I’m not sure either. We’re also connected to the Old Madam by blood. But isn’t she aslo doesn’t have a shred of mercy towards us?”

Su Qing sighed, “That’s true. In the eyes of the Su family, there has never been any kinship.”

It was noon. Just as Mu Yunyao wanted to take a rest, she heard waves of noise coming from outside. She couldn’t help but frown and stand up, “Jin Lan, what’s going on outside?”

Jin Lan walked in quickly with a trace of excitement on her face. “Miss, Lord Shen, from Shuntian Manor has arrived. He said that he has something to ask the Eldest Madam.”

Yue Wang had told her beforehand that the fact that Eldest Madam had bought a hooligan in the Capital was to cause trouble for her. He also told her that it would soon be revealed. Who knew that right after returning to the Capital, Lord Shen would come to the residence.

Mu Yunyao stood up and put on her clothes. “This matter has something to do with me. Let’s go and take a look at the liveliness.”

When Mu Yunyao arrived at the East Courtyard, the Eldest Madam, who had heard the news, hurried over. When she saw Mu Yunyao, her expression immediately turned unfriendly. “What are you doing here?”

“Greetings, Eldest Aunt. When I heard that Lord Shen had come, I came to inquire about the progress of the investigation on the death of Old Mama Liu and Old Mama Wang. After all, I had had my people beat them up ten times back then, and I always felt uneasy.”

The Eldest Madam’s smile was not her usual smile as she coldly glanced at Mu Yunyao before went straight into the main hall.

Shen Binghuai required in an expressly direct tone, “I take the liberty to come to the residence to disturb you today because I have something that I would like to ask you, Madam Meng.”

“Please speak, Lord Shen. I will definitely speak without reserve.”

“Alright, Do Madam Meng know a servant named Xun Wu?”

Yes, he’s a servant of the East Courtyard. A while ago, I sent him out to check on the grain harvest. It is quite strange to say. However, it’s been quite a while, and I haven’t heard back from him. Because it’s been quite a hectic time in the house, so I haven’t bothered to ask.”

Shen Binghuai sized up the Eldest Madam’s expression, “According to my investigation, Xun Wu is dead.”

The Eldest Madam’s eyes slightly widened, her expression extremely shocked. “Dead? How is that possible? Has Lord Shen investigated the cause of his death? A perfectly good person has disappeared just like that. We must investigate it thoroughly.”

“The cause of death is under investigation, and it will take some time. However, Xun Wu has a brother named Xun San. He has told me a few things, which are related to Madam Meng.”

The Eldest Madam frowned, “It has something to do with me? I don’t even know anything about Xun San. Wwhat does it have to do with me?”

“According to Xun San’s confession, Xun Wu was not sent out by Madam to investigate the harvest. But Instead, he had spend two taels of silver to buy some hooligans to abduct and persecute Miss Mu on her way to Baohua Temple.”

The Eldest Madam quickly shook her head. “How is that possible? Although Yunyao misunderstood me, I still treat her as my own niece.”

Mu Yunyao sneered in her heart. The Eldest Madam had even thoughts of tearing her life apart, and yet she’s still kissing her niece. Shouldn’t she be afraid of being laughed at by others when she said it?

Shen Binghuai frowned, apparently remembering where the Eldest Madam asked the guards to kill Mu Yunyao. If he hadn’t come in time, maybe something would have happened to Su Qing and Mu Yunyao. The Eldest Madam’s words could not be trusted, but now there was no conclusive evidence, and it was just a routine inquiry. Even if he did not believe it, he couldn’t question her either.

“Does that mean Madam Meng doesn’t know what Xun Wu is doing?”

“Lord Shen, although I said that Xun Wu was a servant of the residence, but he took the matching cards and went out. As for what exactly he did, I don’t know. I cannot send people to keep an eye on him at all times. After all, he is still a living person. I can only say that I sent him out to check the harvest. Furthermore, I heard what Lord Shen said just now that Xun Wu had bought a few hooligans to find trouble with Yunyao on the way. However, when Yun Yao went to Baohua Temple, the journey was smooth and without any problems? Is there some of misunderstanding? ”

Shen Binghuai nodded his head, “I understand. I will go back and thoroughly investigate the case. Thank you for your help today, Madam Meng.”

“Lord Shen is too courteous.”
