Incurable Chapter 37 Part 2

As the night became cold as water, Mu Wan’s breathing became more and more stable. Liu Qianxiu got up, went to the kitchen, and cleaned up the mess. The kitchen was brightly lit. It used to be cold in the past, but now it has a warm taste and is cozy.

When he sorted the dishes and chopsticks, the phone vibrated. Liu Qianxiuwiped his fingers dry, then glanced at the phone screen and answered the call.

“Uncle Cai.”

The call came from Cai Qingliang. Cai Qingliang is the chief secretary of the Liu family, who was responsible for uploading and giving orders. His job is to upload the work summary of each family in the Liu family and issue various instructions from the head of the Liu family.

The Liu family Auction Group is located all over the world and in all countries. The people from all ethnic groups in the Liu family are in charge. But like Liu Qingyuan, they are just the managers of the auction group. Although they own some of the shares, the owner is still the head of the Liu family, namely Liu Qianxiu.

Cai Qingliang is the chief secretary of the previous generation of Patriarch. Liu Qianxiu has been raised by his grandfather, and Cai Qingliang watched him grow up, so he could be counted as his elder.

“I didn’t bother you to rest, right?” Cai Qingliang asked with concern.

“No.” Liu Qianxiu raised his eyes, looked at the figure reflected on the kitchen glass window, and asked, “Is there another problem?”

“You already know?” Cai Qingliang was surprised. When the surprise was over, he reported. “It’s the Netherlands. Just like last time, the appraisal before the auction was genuine. However, the package turned out to be fake after the auction. The buyer and the seller insisted that we swap the package and ask the Liu family to pay the compensation.”

“It’s not the first time that this happened. All other ethnic groups mean that they hope you can thoroughly investigate it and give them an explanation.” Cai Qingliang added.

He is the head of the Liu family. He owns everything in the Liu family and also bears the responsibilities of the Liu family.

Liu Qianxiu retracted his gaze and returned from the kitchen to the living room. During these few steps, he seemed to be thinking. He sat down cross-legged on the floor. As he looked down at Xiaoji’s book, Liu Qianxiu said lightly, “I will go back to Austria next week.”

“Do you want to contact the heads of other families?” Cai Qingliang asked.

“Yeah.” Liu Qianxiu replied and said, “Ii’d like to trouble Uncle Cai.”

Last week, she had a week off. So this week, Mu Wan arranged to film a drama every day. But she just played a supporting role and only has few scenes. Moreover, the crew who recently joined her has been very focused on shooting her scenes, so she finished filming the scene in the morning.

Liu Qianxiu has surgery in the afternoon, so he does not go home for lunch at noon. Mu Wan called Lin Wei, and the two made an appointment to eat hot pot at Lin Wei’s house.

In the living room, the central air conditioner was turned on. The bottom of the butter pot was tumbling in the pot on the table, and the two of them were sweating profusely. Lin Wei was the first to know about Mu Wan and Liu Qianxiu being together. Of course, what she is most interested in is the sexual life of her friends.

But she didn’t expect that Liu Qianxiu to be so cautious. Afraid that Mu would be pregnant later, he actually could hold back and not do it. A Taoist priest is a Taoist priest, and he can endure what ordinary people can’t bear.

“Actually, when you first said that Liu Daochang didn’t want to sleep with you in the Taoist temple, I really worried about it.” Lin Wei took a sip of the water and frown her eyebrows because it was so hot.

“What are you worried about?” Mu Wan rinsed the beef tripe and asked carelessly.

“I’m worried that Liu Daochang would not be able to do that, so you can’t stand it.” Lin Wei said.

Mu Wan bit the tripe, which was crispy. She glanced at Lin Wei and said, “Why do you think this way?”

“It is normal to think this way.” Lin Wei fished out a piece of bamboo shoots with an expression that she had seen strong winds and waves. “After a normal man and a woman are together, who can resist doing it? Anyway, the men I meet can’t manage it.”

After finishing speaking, Lin Wei bit her chopsticks, thought back for a moment, and added, “Oh, yes. there are two, one is tempter, and the other is a soft side.”

“That’s not it.” Mu Wan said, “My man isn’t like that.”

Lin Wei said, “Oh my god.” Mu Wan’s face turned red, and she looked at her with a big smile. At the same time, she was also genuinely happy in her heart. To be honest, Liu Qianxiu is really a very good man. It doesn’t matter if he looks good, but he is also so seductive. Listening to what he said at Mu Wan, Lin Wei really feels that such a man can’t be found in the real world.

Mu Wan has never been in love. Many people are chasing her, and they are outstanding, but Mu Wan didn’t want to be with them. She once felt regret for her. But looking at it now, fate is really a strange thing. The people that Mu Wan had missed before were gold at best, but Liu Qianxiu is a rare treasure.

Lin Wei is very envious of her, but she is not jealous. After all, Mu Wan is happy, and she is happier than anyone else. She smiled and teased Mu Wan. The two leaned together, whispered between girlfriends, and they were so pleased.

“Then have you met his family?” The relationship between the two is deep to a certain extent. If they are suitable for each other, they will develop a deeper relationship.

“His parents are also dead, just like me.” Mu Wan took a bottle of sparkling water, and the peach flavor was exceptionally fresh.

“I think that you two are made for each other.” Lin Wei joked and then asked, “Does he have any other relatives?”

“Yes.” Mu Wan said, searching the memory in her mind, and said, “Once we didn’t have dinner together, and he said that he wanted to eat with his family.”

“That’s good.” Lin Wei nodded and thought about Mu Wan’s miserable relatives. Although relatives are dispensable, it is necessary to have some relatives who get along well.

“Then he took you to meet them?” Lin Wei asked and added, “Is he going to take you to meet them?”

The topic went deeper, but Mu Wan didn’t care, “We have only been together for a few days. He wants me to see his family, and he will naturally take me to see them.”

Mu Wan’s personality is more Buddhist, so her relationship with Liu Qianxiu is similar. The two interact with each other, and they naturally understood each other.

“Then you must tell me after you meet them.” Lin Wei reminded Mu Wan, “I really want to know what the Taoist priest's relatives are like. Should they be as cold as him?”

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the setting sun came in obliquely through the office window. Mei Yaozhi was sitting at Liu Qianxiu’s desk, and the sun squinted his eyes slightly.

Even with squinting, his eyes are bigger than others, showing a little youthfulness.

“What are you going to do this time? Continue to let him do it?” Mei Yaozhi heard about this incident from the second-generation rich’s party. He asked someone to ask for some information and came over to tell Liu Qianxiu.

“I will go back to Austria next week.” Liu Qianxiu replied.

When something like this happened, Liu Qianxiu was still calm. It seemed that he had a plan in his heart, and Mei Yaozhi knew that he was no longer need to be anxious. He raised his eyelids, looked at his office, remembered something, and asked.

“Do you have a girlfriend?”

As soon as his voice fell, Liu Qianxiu, who had been reading the documents, raised his eyes and looked at him.

Mei Yaozhi found out about it too, when he was playing basketball. He didn’t expect this to be true when Huai Jing mentioned it. When Mei Yaozhi knew it, his eyes opened brighter.

“Really?” He said with excitement.

“Really.” Liu Qianxiu nodded. After Mei Yaozhi’s reminder, he seemed to remember something. After looking at the time, he knows that it’s time Mu Wan came to pick him up.

“Wow.” Mei Yaozhi exclaimed and couldn’t wait to say, “Then when will you bring her for grandma to see?”

“She still doesn’t know who I am.” Liu Qianxiu said.

“Oh, I understand that.” Mei Yaozhi nodded knowingly and said, “You want to test her.”

He looked up at Mei Yaozhi, and Liu Qianxiu said, “No, she wants to raise me.”

Mei Yao Zhi didn’t seem to understand. He was taken aback for a moment, “...Huh?”

With the corners of his lips pulled slightly, Liu Qianxiu glanced at him lightly, without explaining much, only said in a deep voice.

“Nothing. It just some little fun.”

The author has something to say:
Mu Wan: Is it carpet fun for tomorrow?
Liu Daochang: Yes, but the carpet is too hard.
Mu Wan: ... not as hard as you.

Incurable Chapter 37 Part 1

The temperature of Liu Qianxiu’s lips reached her earlobe like a fire. Mu Wan looked at the front of the emergency building. She saw that the young nurses seemed to see this scene because their faces were blushing and avoiding their eyes.

The space in the SUV is spacious. The two people’s breath is intertwined, and the space suddenly becomes narrow. Liu Qianxiu’s dark eyes were like softened spring water with a layer of faint ripple, and Mu Wan was enchanted by it.

It was not easy for her to get out of his glued line of sight. After finally getting out, Mu Wan leaned back on the car seat, tilted her head, and looked out the window. Her body getting hot, so she reminds herself not to be fooled by beauty. Her cheeks were blushed, and her voice was dry.

“I won’t say it.”

Her voice was soft and sweet, with a little trembling, and she was obviously said with an unyielding tone, but she was red from the earlobe an unyielding tone. Liu Qianxiu frown, his eyes drooped slightly, and his clear eyes were covered with broken lights. He reached out and touched Mu Wan’s hair. After he put on the seat belt, he started the car.

After driving to Xu Xingkong’s house, the two returned to Liu Qianxiu’s house after receiving the cat.

Even if Liu Qianxiu was away for a few days, Liu Qianxiu’s house did not have dust at all. The scent of sandalwood seemed to be soaked in the empty space, light and long.

As soon as they entered the house, Mu Wan changed to her slippers, took the cat cage in Liu Qianxiu’s hand, and released the three kittens with Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi still had an elder brother style and came out first. His black body is long and graceful, like a brocade with two opals embroidered on it.

The three kittens were timider. Finally, Datou shouted and walked out. The eldest brother took the lead, and the younger brothers were followed. Thus, Ertong and Zhongfen also came out together.

In a short time, the soft and cute cry of the kittens filled Liu Qianxiu’s dust-free home, making the originally ethereal and quiet atmosphere suddenly lively.

Mu Wan sat on the carpet, touched Zhou Yi and the kittens, and her palms were soft. She raised her eyes, looked up at Liu Qianxiu, and her eyes curled, “Look, I have so many cats, and I can touch whichever one I want. Isn’t it very fancy?”

She propped her hands on the carpet with her chest wide open, and the three little cats walked back and forth on her crossed legs. She raised her head and smiled like a rich man showing off her small vault.

Liu Qianxiu pressed his lip, looked down at her, and his eyes darkened.

Being seen with a guilty conscience, Mu Wan straightened her body, sat down obediently, stretched out a finger, and said, “I don’t care any man. You’re the only man I have.”

His expression didn’t change much, but he raised his wrist, pulled his cuffs, revealing a beautiful wrist, and asked in a deep voice, “What would you like for dinner?”

The atmosphere became ambiguous at night. Mu Wan looked up at Liu Qianxiu with a tall, handsome face and a light temperament. He stood there tall, thin, ethereal and stirred her heart.

She wants to eat him.

Her body seemed to be steamed and a little hot. Mu Wan licked her lips, and her face remained calm.

“Scrambled eggs with tomatoes and fried broccoli with vegetables.”

Liu Qianxiu went to the kitchen, and after Mu Wan played with the three little ones for a while, she sent them to the cat room. The three little ones grew up, so she didn’t need to be fed separately. After making powdered milk, Mu Wan closed the cat room door and went into the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Liu Qianxiu stood up straight, standing by the sink, washing vegetables. His back is slender and thin. With his arms tugging at his back, Mu Wan could see the lines of his tight muscles under his thin shirt.

His eyes moving slightly as Mu Wan walked over. As soon as she walked over, Liu Qianxiu looked back at her, but his hands kept moving to wash the vegetables.

“Is this delicious to eat directly? I want to taste it,” Mu Wan stood by the sink, looked down, and pointed to his hand.

Liu Qianxiu held a freshly washed tomato in his hand. Liu Qianxiu has slender fingers, distinct bony joints, and cold white skin. This made the tomato looked brighter in color and much more delicious than when she looked at it in the supermarket.

Liu Qianxiu glanced sideways at her. Mu Wan raised her eyes to look at him and then dropped her gaze on the tomato, licking her lower lip with the tip of her tongue, like a kitten staring at a fish.

Without saying a word, he raised his hand to turn off the faucet. The drops of water slipped on the tomatoes and disappeared between his fingers. Pulling out a paper towel to clean up the water stains, then he handed her the tomatoes.

Mu Wan’s eyes lit up as she looked up at him. Liu Qianxiu’s expression was as usual, and his eyes were calm as water.

She grinned, and the corners of her bright red lips curled up. Without reaching for it, Mu Wan directly lowered her head and took a bite of the tomato. Her posture was like a kitten drinking milk, and she kept her head down, leaving only a furry back of her head.

She is not an ordinary cat, but she is a cat demon, and she doesn’t behave well at all.

She took a bite and then another.

In the second bite, she bit his finger and gently bit it. The touch of her teeth is soft.

After taking this bite, she reached out and took the tomato, leaving Liu Qianxiu’s palm empty. Mu Wan raised her head, and her watery eyes looked at him, filled with small coquettish light.

“It’s delicious. Do you want to taste it?” She handed over tomatoes with two small gaps.

But he stays still and didn’t taste it. Mu Wan looked into his eyes, which were darker than they had just been, like a deep spring covered by the shade of a tree under a moonlit night. Mu Wan knew that he would not eat this, but he wanted to eat something else.

Because she seduced him, and she succeeded.

Liu Qianxiu lowered his head and kissed her, disrupting the sweet and sour taste in her mouth, and she welcomed his kiss. In the quiet kitchen, the breathing of the two gradually became chaotic.

Liu Qianxiu held Mu Wan in his arms, a slender and small one, but it could always touch his heart. His kiss lingered in her ear, his voice was hoarse, and he asked, “Eat later?”

Mu Wan’s vision was a little hazy, and she seemed to be intoxicated. But her answer was still clear, and her voice was small, “Is not a little late?”

She knows his time.

Liu Qianxiu kissed her earlobe deeply, and Mu Wan collapsed. Her fingers grabbed the edge of the sink, and the tomato juice ran all over her hands. Her heart trembled as he said, “It’s okay to be late.”

She was picked up, and then they went to the bedroom.

The bed in Liu Qianxiu’s room was so hard. Mu Wan’s back was thin, and she couldn’t bear it, so she was taken to the second bedroom halfway through. When the two of them finished their indulged, Mu Wan didn’t have the strength to eat, so she fell asleep after drinking a bowl of porridge.

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 395

~ MU YUNYAO WAS CRYING OUT OF FRIGHT ~ 

The Grand Princess Yi De narrowed her eyes, and she opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

Mu Yunyao put away her silver needles and kneeled beside Grand Princess Yi De, supporting her to rest on her knees. “Your majesty, the Grand Princess’ condition is only temporarily stabilized, so it’s inconvenient for her to speak now.”

The Emperor nodded and raised his head to look at Mu Yunyao, but he discovered that her face was expressly pale. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead and even soaked her hair. While holding Grand Princess Yi De, she couldn't help crying.

“You … What’s wrong with you?” The Emperor was slightly surprised. How could she be so calm in the critical situation before, but now she was crying when she had done a meritorious deed?

Mu Yunyao hurriedly raised her hand to wipe her tears. When she opened her mouth to speak, her voice was even trembling, “In reply to the Emperor, I’m frightened. The situation just now was too dangerous. If there is something wrong with Grand Princess Yi De, my mother and I are going to die together.” When she was helping Grand Princess Yi De with the diagnosis and treatment, she didn’t think. But now that Grand Princess Yi De was stable, she felt that her hands and feet had become soft.

The Emperor was stunned, and a deep expression flashed in his eyes: “You are good.”

He could naturally tell that Mu Yunyao wasn’t lying, but she was genuinely frightened. If something really happened to the Grand Princess Yi De, he would have been furious and wouldn’t probably have let the Su family off.

Mu Yunyao had just wiped away her tears when the guards rushed over with the Imperial Physician. After the Imperial Physicians entered, they didn’t bother to pay their respects to the Emperor and immediately stepped forward to treat Grand Princess Yi De.

“Your Majesty, the Grand Princess’s illness has already stabilized. This humble subject will go down to prescribe the medicine now, and it should be fine after a few days.”

The Emperor’s cold eyes swept over them and said, “This is not the first time that the Grand Princess has suffered from an old illness. The situation this time is extraordinarily critical. Her face is ashen, and she can’t breathe. Why is this happening?”

“This… The Grand Princess Yi De is old, her health is not as good as it used to be, and her chronic diseases are more severe than before.

“Did I keep the whole Taiyuan Hospital and all of the Imperial Physicians just to listen to this? You’ve helped the Grand Princess nurture her body for so many years, and yet she doesn’t even show the slightest bit of signs of improvement. What’s the use of supporting you all?”

The Imperial Physicians and imperial guards all knelt down, trembling with fear, not daring to make a sound.

The Emperor’s tone was cold as his anger all over his body was overwhelming, so it was difficult to breathe. “I will give you some more time to take care of the Grand Princess’s health. If she end up like this again, don’t blame me for dragging you all down to the grave and asking all the crimes!”

“Yes, this humble subject accepts the order.” The Imperial Physician grew more and more nervous. They had already treated the Grand Princess’s illness for more than ten years, and their medical books had almost all been torn apart. They had even prescribed a bunch of prescriptions, but the results were unsatisfactory.

Cai Yi hurriedly walked in with a medicinal bowl. “Miss, the medicine is ready.”

The Imperial Physician stepped forward to looked at the medicine bowl before carefully dividing up a spoonful to taste it. He couldn’t help but wrinkle his brow. “Your Majesty, this prescription....”

“What? Is there a problem with the prescription?”

“The medicine inside is extremely ordinary and contains some cold stuff. The pain from the Grand Princess’s chest is caused by the cold air, and with something cold added to it, I’m afraid itwould have aggravated her condition.”

The Emperor looked at Mu Yunyao. He had witnessed how she was treating the Grand Princess, so he didn’t doubt her directly. “Mu Yunyao, you wrote this prescription. You come here and tell the Imperial Physician why there are cold stuff in the medicine you prescribed?”

The Imperial Physician looked at Mu Yunyao, and his heart was instantly filled with displeasure. Wasn’t this Mu Yunyao skilled in embroidery? Why does she know medicine now? Could it be that this person, in order to obtain the goodwill of the Emperor and Grand Princess Yi De, actually dares to commit the crime of deceiving the ruler?

“Return to the Emperor, the old illness that caused Grand Princess Yi De’s chest pain was indeed caused by the coldness as the Imperial Physician mentioned. However, after being nurtured for so many years and continuously being nourished with warm and nourishing medicinal herbs, it also caused the dampness and heat within Grand Princess Yi De’s body to increase. In addition, today is dry, with the great nourishment of the medicinal herb taken by the Grand Princess, the cold and heat in her body collide, causing the old illness to become more severe. The concoction that I have prescribed does indeed contain something cold stuff, but it has a curative effect on the current symptoms of Grand Princess Yi De. First, it dissipating the heat, and then it expels the cold.”

The Imperial Physician looked somewhat hesitant. With the Imperial Physician’s medical skills, he naturally knew that after so many years of recuperation, the burden on the body of Grand Princess Yi De was even heavier. However, this matter was related to the person the Emperor cared about the most. Many medicinal materials and prescriptions do not dare to use, for fear of risking the Grand Princess’s health to become worse. Mu Yunyao’s prescriptions were considered symptomatic, but the effect was particularly violent. “This …”

The Emperor’s expression froze. “Mu Yunyao, write down the prescription and hand it over to the Imperial Physician. Let Taiyuan Hospital properly study it. You don’t need to worry about anything else.”

A guard entered and reported, “Reporting to Your Majesty, the carriage has been prepared. We can set off for the Palace immediately.”

The Emperor nodded and looked at the Imperial Physician at the side. “With the Grand Princess’ condition, can she move now?”

“The Grand Princess’s condition has already stabilized. As long as we pay a little more attention, nothing bad will happen.”

“En, alright then. We’ll immediately return to the Palace and gather all of the Imperial Physicians of Taiyuan Hospital to treat Grand Princess Yi De.”

“Respectfully sending off Your Majesty and the Grand Princess Yi De.”

Everyone couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief when Ni Yun Fang quieted down. The situation just now was too frightening. The Emperor’s aura was as strong as a mountain as if it could crush a person’s spine.

“Miss, why are you still kneeling on the ground?” Cai Yi curiously asked when she saw that Mu Yunyao didn’t move.

Mu Yunyao let out a heavy breath, “My legs are weak, and I can’t get up.”

Cai Yi and the others hurriedly went forward to help her up. “This servant really admire your courage, Miss. The situation was so critical just now, and you didn’t hesitate to rush forward and help without scruples.”

Mu Yunyao laughed self-deprecatingly, “I don’t know what’s wrong with me. At that time, I was only thinking about not letting Grand Princess Yi De get into trouble, and I didn’t even consider the consequences. Fortunately, good people get rewarded, and Grand Princess Yi De is safe, so I can be considered to have rendered a great merit.”

“Miss, you should hurry back to rest. Just now, you have been genuinely frightened.”

“Yes.”

Back at the residence, before she could even return to Jiyue Pavilion, someone had already invited her to the West Courtyard.

When Second Madam looked at Mu Yunyao, she seemed to had found her pillar of support. She hurriedly stepped forward and held her hand. “Yunyao, I’ve received news today. Take a look.” As she spoke, she took out a piece of paper and handed it over.

Mu Yunyao opened it to take a look. After she finished reading, the space between her eyebrows abruptly tightened, “Second Aunt, who gave you this note?”

The message on the paper was so simple, with only six short words: Pay attention to the Fifth Miss.

“I’m not sure.” the Second Madam was also very curious. “Today, I gathered the steward of the residence to take care of some chores. When I was drinking tea, I coincidentally discovered this slip of paper under the teacup. It was concealed extremely well.”

Mu Yunyao carefully looked at the handwriting on the paper and touched it with her finger, “What it used was not a brush and ink, but a Mo Dai used to draw eyebrows. The color is dark and fragranceless and should be used by the servants in residence. She is a servant who could know things in Ninghe Garden and squietly hide the note under Second Aunt’s cup of tea. It should not be an ordinary servant....”

“Yunyao, no matter who sent this note, one thing is certain. What we guessed is right. The Old Madam is indeed going to make a move against Su You again at your coming of age ceremony.”

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 394

~ THE GRAND PRINCESS YI DE HAS A CHRONIC DISEASE ~ 

The entrance of Niyunfang was crowded with people. Looking at the ten screens, no matter how one looked at them, they would not feel that it was enough. Many women felt excited when they thought they could create such a beautiful screen after learning the embroidery needle technique.

Many merchants engaged in embroidery have come to inquire, hoping to pay silver to buy these ten screens. Before the shopkeeper of Ni Yun Fang could refuse, the people hadn’t agreed first.

These ten screens were their hope. Every time they walked over, even taking a glance at them, they would feel at ease. How could they let someone buy them?

The Emperor glanced at the signboard, then turned to look at Grand Princess Yi De. “Elder Sister, I heard that the clothes within Ni Yun Fang are expressly beautiful. Why don’t we go in and take a look as well?”

“Sure, that’s exactly what I was thinking.”

Mu Yunyao was flipping through a picture booklet upstairs, thinking about what kind of clothes would come out in the winter at Ni Yun Fang. Just as she thought of some patterns, she heard a knock on the door, “Miss, there’s a lady downstairs. The shopkeeper is a bit confused and wants to invite you down to take a look. In addition, the lady wants to buy a beauty book, and the shopkeeper hasn’t refused yet.”

Mu Yunyao nodded, “I understand. I’ll go down immediately.” Cai Yi’s vision wasn’t bad. She had also specifically told her about the temperament of the ladies in the Capital. Anyone who could make her confused was definitely not an ordinary person.

Mu Yunyao walked down the stairs and saw two figures sitting in the hall. She suddenly stopped, and her heart was filled with surprise. The Emperor and the Grand Princess Yi De?

Cai Yi raised her head and looked over, “Misstress, here you are. This lady wants to buy a beauty book that the owner has personally embroidered.”

Mu Yunyao quickly walked down and turned to instruct Cai Yi, “Close the door early today. I’ll entertain this lady.”

Cai Yi was stunned. Seeing Mu Yunyao’s expression, she hurriedly ordered her people to invite the other guests away and shut the gate of Ni Yun Fang.

With no one else present, Mu Yunyao bowed respectfully to the two of them. “This humble girl greets the Emperor and Grand Princess Yi De.”

The rest of the people in Ni Yun Fang were scared silly. They quickly kneeled on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

“Get up,” the Emperor said as he looked around. “Your arrangement here is rather comfortable, and your business seems to be flourishing. Not bad.”

Mu Yunyao smiled and nodded. “It’s all thanks to Your Majesty. Many people came here to buy clothes to support you, out of respect for your gift signboard.”

This signboard might be just a kind of honor in other places, but it is absolutely extraordinary in the Capital. It has some good meanings when it has a signboard gifted by the Emperor himself. Even if the ladies don’t like the clothes here, they still will buy one or two of them and take them home.

The Emperor couldn’t help but laugh. “It seems that no matter what you do, you always like to attribute all the credit to me.”

“It was originally like this. What this humble girl said was the truth.” Mu Yunyao widened her eyes slightly, and her expression was so sincere.

The Grand Princess Yi De put down the beauty book in her hands. “What Yunyao said is also another truth. For the business here to be so good, Imperial Brother’s contributions must be great.”

Mu Yunyao’s smile became more brilliant, and her bright eyes sparkled, making people feel happy as they looked at it, “These beauty booklets have already been flipped through. If the Grand Princess Yi De likes it, I’ll embroider a new one and send it over to you.”

“There’s no need to go through all that trouble. I just look at this one, and it’s excellent. When I left, I will let someone take it. You have something important to do next. You should do the job assigned to you by the Emperor first.”

“Your Majesty and Grand Princess, please rest assured, Yunyao will do her best.”

“Yes.” Grand Princess Yi De nodded, a gentle smile on her face. “It’s getting late. We still have to go to some other places. You just busy yourselves.” As she spoke, she was about to stand up. But she suddenly stopped, made a violent motion, and fell onto her seat, clutching her chest.

The Emperor was startled. He stepped forward and held Grand Princess Yi De as he asked, “Imperial Elder Sister, what’s the matter with you?”

The Grand Princess Yi De’s face turned pale, her lips were faintly purple, her fingers tightly gripped onto the clothes at her chest, cold sweat forming on her forehead: “I … …Don’t be nervous, Imperial Brother. It’s a chronic disease....”

When she was young, her chest was injured. Even though she had been recovering carefully, there were still some of the root cause left behind. Now that she was old, her symptoms became even more severe than before.

The Emperor’s brow creased as he turned to instruct one of the guards. “Hurry and get the Imperial Physician. It’s all my fault. I didn’t think twice before coming out.” He knew clearly that Imperial Elder Sister’s health wasn’t good. Thus, he should have had the Imperial Physician accompany her.

The Grand Princess Yi De shook her head, wanting to open her mouth and speak a few words to appease the Emperor, but the intense pain in her chest made her unable to breathe. This attack was even worse than the previous times.

The Emperor was shocked. “Imperial Elder Sister, how are you? Imperial Elder Sister?”

Mu Yunyao clenched her fist and fiercely bit the tip of her tongue. She stepped forward to help support Grand Princess Yi De, “Your Majesty, Yunyao is too rash. But please let Grand Princess Yi De lie down. I have some medical skills and might be able to help.”

The Emperor’s gaze was sharp and fierce, and his entire body emitted a cold imposing manner. His gaze towards Mu Yunyao was no longer gentle and instead carried a wave of unfathomable killing intent. “Do you know medical skills?” He would not allow anyone to make a joke of Imperial Elder Sister’s safety!

The Grand Princess Yi De’s face became more and more unsightly. She opened her mouth but couldn’t hear the sound of breathing. Mu Yunyao’s brows were tightly furrowed, and her heart was in turmoil for no reason. Ignoring the Emperor’s suspicions, she motioned for Cai Yi to come forward and help her to lie down. She unbuttoned the clothes around her neck, took out a silver needle, and pierced the acupoint on her chest.

The gaze of the Emperor became increasingly cold as he focused on the Grand Princess Yi De. Seeing Mu Yunyao’s proficient movements, the killing intent in his eyes slightly lessened.

Mu Yunyao’s expression was grave. The condition of Grand Princess Yi De was considered serious. Even after the silver needle was pierced, her shortness of breath didn’t seem to be relieved.

“How is it?”

Mu Yunyao helped Grand Princess Yi De massage her acupoints, then turned her head and quickly recited a formula to Cai Yi. “Three cents of ephedra, two cents of Suzi, three cents of winter flower.... Fry with three bowls of water to become one bowl. Hurry up!”

Cai Yi got up and ran outside.

The Emperor motioned for his imperial guards on the side to follow up quickly. It would still take some time for the Imperial Physician to arrive, but with Grand Princess Yi De’s fierce condition, she probably wouldn’t be able to hold on for that long.

The rest of the people in Ni Yun Fang knelt on the ground, not daring to make the slightest sound, as they were afraid that they would affect Mu Yunyao’s treatment of Grand Princess Yi De.

Mu Yunyao’s expression was focused, and traces of sweat dripped from her forehead. However, she didn’t bother wiping them as she continuously took out silver needles to help Grand Princess Yi De stabilize her condition. Fortunately, her efforts were not in vain. After the last silver needle was pierced, Grand Princess Yi De’s chest suddenly heaved up and down as she took deep breaths, and the purple color on her face gradually disappeared.

The Emperor’s eyes lit up with joy, not caring about the majesty of an Emperor at all. He went forward and knelt beside Grand Princess Yi De, “Imperial Eldest Sister, how do you feel?”

Half an hour later, a carriage drove out of the imperial palace and stopped at Luoxia Street. Two people dressed in ordinary clothes, with an extraordinary bearing, walked out of the carriage. They were the Emperor and the Grand Princess Yi De.

“In the past few years, I haven’t had the chance to go out like this. It’s because Imperial Elder Sister’s idea.”

The Grand Princess Yi De smiled. “Everyone says that people should stand too high and watch too far. But sometimes, if you standing too high, people’s eyes are easily obscured by floating clouds. It’s better to walk out and take a closer look.”

She understood the suspicion in the Emperor’s heart. After all, for an ordinary woman who could lead the entire Capital forward was truly shocking, but she also believed in the Emperor’s perspective. For The Emperor to reach his current level, he definitely would not ruin a great opportunity because of suspicion.

After walking a short distance, they saw a tea stall on the corner of the street. The man selling tea was a lame old man. Many people were sitting at the tea stall, and some guests saw that the old man was too busy, so they picked up a bowl by himself and went forward to pour tea. His voice was so loud: “Hey Uncle Xu, how come today’s tea is so much better than usual?”

The lame old man turned around with a simple smile. “How come the tea become better? It was because you’re in a good mood. Even if I were to bring you a bowl of cold water, you would think that it’s warm and sweet.” Someone at the side mocked loudly, “Isn’t it so? Old Li’s daughter-in-law is well-known for her dexterity and skill in embroidery. Now she has the chance to get the embroidery needle technique taught by Ni Yun Fang. She will definitely be chosen in the future and will get five taels of silver a month. Even if she’s not chosen by Ni Yun Fang, there are still be many embroidery shops fighting for more people. In the future, Old Li will no longer have to worry about food and drinks.”

The middle-aged man who addressed as Old Li laughed out loud, “To say that The Emperor was a wise man, allowing Miss Mu to teach people embroidery needle technique. I now have to kowtow in the direction of the Palace every day when I come out. May the Emperor live long liveand bless our people for thousands of years!”

“Isn’t that right? For the past two days, someone has been burning incense in front of the gates of Ni Yun Fang in order to get some of the spiritual energy within it to pay tribute to the Imperial Decree.”

“Unfortunately, the Palace gates are heavily guarded. Otherwise there would have been people coming to burn incense in front of the Palace gates.”

“I also heard that someone wanted to send something to the Emperor, but the Emperor is the son of dragon and lives in the Imperial Palace. The water he drank was all nectar and jadeite, so whatever we sent over, the Emperor would definitely not be used to it.”

“Who said that the Emperor also eat grain and mixed grain? Didn’t the Eemperor always have to plow the fields in the spring before? Maybe he eats what he grow himself?”

The more they spoke, the more biased their speech became, and the conversation get worse. Some people said that the grain planted by the Emperor in the spring must have been golden in color and that the ears of wheat planted there were all over a foot long. Some people even said that the Emperor used a golden plow to cultivate the lands and used a qilin beast to pull the plow. He planted wheat and sprouted the same day, grew seedlings the next day, smoked the plow for three days, and harvested in five days...

The Grand Princess Yi De, who was listening at the side, couldn’t help but laugh. “It’s actually the first time I heard that the Emperor actually used the qilin beast to pull a plow....”

The Emperor also felt that the situation was expressly interesting, so he pulled Grand Princess Yi De to a nearby chair and sat down.

The few men who had been talking animatedly, upon seeing the extraordinary bearing of the Emperor and the Grand Princess Yi De, could not help but say in a weak voice, “My Lord, my Lady, did we disturb the two of you?”

The Emperor shook his head and smiled. “We came to visit relatives in the Capital, so we don’t know much about the affairs of the Capital. Hearing your interesting words, we sat down to listen.”

“Have you just arrived?”

“Yes, I’ve only been in the Capital for two days.”

“That’s truly a pity. If you had come a few days earlier, you would have seen the grand opening of Ni Yun Fang. That Rainbow Fairy was truly fascinating, and her dancing style is truly stunning.”

“Yeah, yeah…”

The lame old man carefully cleaned the bowl and brought two bowls of hot tea over. “Please have some tea.”

The Emperor nodded. Seeing the old man’s nervous expression, he could not help but ask, “The old man’s legs are inconvenient. Why is he still out to set up the tea stand?”

The old man smiled in a notably simple and honest manner. “It’s just that I’m a little lame when walking, but it’s not too much of a problem.” Just as they were talking, a water wheel came to bring the water. The old man’s smile became even more brilliant as he quickly went up to greet them. His legs were inconvenient, so Bu Xian Luo arranged for people to bring water and firewood to him. It was really the extreme of goodness!

Seeing that the old man had gone to fetch the water, the man on the side said to the Emperor in a low voice, “Old man Xu’s life is miserable. His family has been gone for many years. His daughter has been married away and gone during childbirth. His son’s health also is not good, and he is now bedridden. In the past, he made a living by collecting firewood. In the winter, the road was slippery, so he broke his legs when he went up the mountain. I thought that he doesn’t have any hopes anymore. Fortunately, he met the kind-hearted Miss Mu. She started Bu Xian Luo and set up a lot of tea stalls. When she heard about Old Xu’s matter, she took the initiative to ask him to guard the stalls. Now he has no worries about his life.”

“Miss Mu is kind-hearted.”

“Yes, the Emperor is really wise. I heard that His Majesty rewarded Miss Mu for this matter. It’s really wise!”

“That’s true. The signboards for Ni Yun Fang and the Bu Xian Luo were given to her by the Emperor. His Majesty used the Dragon Eye, so he must have known that Miss Mu’s kindness early. That’s why he gave her the signboards and asked her to set up Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo everywhere to help more people.”

“Have you heard that there is an increase in wages at the wharf? Thus, the worker can earn around 20 cents a day now.”

“Didn’t it just rise a few days ago? Why did it increase again now?”

“Isn’t this because Bu Xian Luo establishment? A lot of tea merchants came, and I heard that there are also specialize in shipping water. In any case, there are too many boats coming and going, so the long-term workers on the wharf aren’t enough. Isn’t this just increase the wages?”

“That’s great!”

“That’s right, that’s great....”

People said it one by one and finally summed up the word great. After saying that, they actually felt sad in their hearts, especially Old Man Xu, who nodded sympathetically after hearing those words, “People have to be a bit reckless when they’re still alive. We passed each day before, but we felt that we were living a tough life. Yet, at this moment, I feel much more alive and happy despite being exhausted. This is truly great....”

“Isn’t that so? Right now, I am just hoping that Ni Yun Fang teaches embroidery needle technique soon, and Bu Xian Luo open a few more places. I heard that when Miss Mu was in Jingling City, the smell of Laba’s porridge was so fragrant that it could make people swallow their tongues. I wonder if Miss Mu would hold Laba’s porridge again this year?”

“It shouldn’t be this year. Miss Mu has just started the Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo, so she needs to spend quite a bit of silver. Although these two industries are big, it’s not easy to earn silver. A few days ago, someone came and went through Ni Yun Fang and saw Miss Mu embroidering things with an embroidery frame.

She sat there motionless for over a few hours. It’s said that even her fingers were swollen....”

“Aiyo, Miss Mu is hasn’t reached coming of age, isn’t she? It’s not easy to reach like that at young age.”

“That’s right, she’s not even as old as my daughter, and her life is not as peaceful as mine. She was almost beaten to death by Viper Lady before. Fortunately, Lord Shen went there in time.”

“This year’s New Year is quite good. We can also learn to collect a little food from each family, just like in Jingling City. At that time, we can have Miss Mu give us some pointers and boil them into a delicious Laba’s porridge. It’s just a lively picture that the people in the Capital drink porridge together. When I think about it, I feel warm in my heart.”

Listened to the chatter of the people around him, the Emperor’s eyebrows creased. Only when the Grand Princess Yi De reminded him that he put down the tea money and leave the tea stall, continuing to walk forward. However, his thoughts were extremely complicated.

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 392

~ I DON’T LIKE TO REPAY GRIEVANCES WITH VIRTUE ~ 

Seeing the Old Madam’s expression shaken, the Eldest Madam was overjoyed. She continued, “Mother, I heard from Mu Yunyao just now that there were a few apprentices in Ni Yun Fang, and their embroidery needle technique were not inferior to her. In fact, as long as there is someone who have embroidery needle technique, it doesn’t matter who teaches it to outsiders, don’t you think?”

The Old Madam slammed her hand on the table, seemingly infuriated. “I’ve just warned you to hold back your thoughts. Do you take my words as nothing more than a passing thought?”

“Daughter-in-law wouldn’t dare. It’s just that you have seen Mu Yunyao’s usual style. How could she be that kind of person who can easily suffer losses? Meng Yanran was given to death, Meng Handong was killed, and even now, Yuyi’s arm was still in so much pain that she didn’t dare to move. In addition, my reputation was completely ruined, and people outside said that I was the Viper Lady ... These things are connected, and all make people’s hearts go cold. Mother, Daughter-in-law is worried that by participating in the spreading of the embroidery needle technique, we are trying to hide from the tiger, but in the end, others used it. We not only didn’t get credit, but we also made wedding clothes for others....”

“Shut up! Don’t talk nonsense.” The Old Madam stopped the Eldest Madam, but her frowning eyebrows remained undisturbed. During this time, she could tell that Mu Yunyao definitely did not want to lose out. Perhaps, she would really make the Su family feel very bitter, “You can leave first, go back and take care of Yuyi and let her heal the injury. I’ll think about the rest.” She needs to think about it.

“Yes.” A ray of light flashed across the Eldest Madam’s eyes. The Old Madam must have been tempted. She could just wait in peace.

Mu Yunyao returned to Jiyue Pavilion and chatted with Su Qing for a while before returning to her room, carefully considering what to do next.

Jin Lan, Si Shu, and the others didn’t dare disturb her. After a while, they finally saw Mu Yunyao get up and write a letter behind the table. After writing the letter, she called Si Shu in. “Try to find a way to hand this letter over to Yue Wang. Don’t let anyone notice.”

Si Shu nodded hurriedly, “Please rest assured, Miss.”

Seeing Mu Yunyao’s relaxed expression, Jin Lan finally came forward to help her change her dress. “Miss, do you really want the Eldest Madam to teach the embroidery needle technique?”

“Do you think I’m the kind of person who repays grievances with virtue?”

“Miss, since you’ve clearly distinguished between gratitude and grievance, you naturally won’t repay grievances with virtue. It’s just that this servant is genuinely happy listen to your promise.”

Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but laugh. “The more happily I agree, the more uneasy their hearts would become. They would think that they would be smart and find a way to deal with me.”

Jin Lan didn’t understand. “Miss, wouldn’t we be creating new problems like this?”

“The spread of embroidery needle technique in the Capital is something I have thought about for a long time. Now everything is ready, even the East Courtyard is there, it doesn’t matter if there is a small mistake in the middle. The important thing is that I have stayed in Su family’s residence enough and want to find a way to move out as soon as possible.”

“Miss, are you planning to use this matter to leave the Su family’s residence?”

Mu Yunyao smiled and did not speak anymore. She wanted to not simply leave, but she wants to completely break all ties with the Su family.

Yue Wang received a letter from Mu Yunyao. After reading it, a cold glint flashed across his eyes: “The Su Family ….”

Eunuch Cheng looked at his expression and unintentionally said, “Speaking of which, the Su family has been surprisingly lively recently, especially the main branch of the Su family in East Courtyard. The Eldest Madam has already been rumored to be Viper Lady. I don’t know whether Miss Mu is used to living in the Su family.”

Yue Wang carefully placed the letter into the box and locked it before speaking: “Uncle Cheng, have you heard any news about the people who has been sent out to investigate the true identities of Madam Su and Yunyao?”

“Reporting to Your Highness, many years have passed, and many things cannot be investigated. However, there are some news that have come back, and this old servant think that it look rather strange.”

“Hmm?” Yue Wang raised his eyes.

“Initially, we investigated and found out that it was a midwife who helped the old lady of the Su family deliver a baby. After Madam Su was lost, a whole family mysteriously perished, and none of them managed to survive. However, we recently found out that the midwife left behind a son, and that person even had contact with Miss Mu’s father, Mu Cheng.”

“Is there anything else?”

“I haven’t found anything else yet.”

Yue Wang nodded his head: “No rush, take it slow. How about the midwife’s son? Could you found him?”

Eunuch Cheng shook his head, “Ever since Miss Su’s father’s death, this person has been missing. But this old servant has already ordered for people to search for him as soon as possible. I hope they can find him as soon as possible.”

“Mm, I keep having the feeling that the Su family is hiding something....”

Seeing the Su family’s attitude towards Mu Yunyao and Su Qing, he felt a strong sense of disharmony. He suspected that the Su family had taken a fancy to Mu Yunyao’s property and took people back to murder for money. Or rather, Su Qing had nothing to do with the Su family! Unfortunately, they haven’t found the exact information yet, so they can’t jump to conclusions.

Mu Yunyao chose the place where she would teach the embroidery needle technique. Shuntian’s Manor Commander Shen Binghuai personally visited her, saying that he would send people to help maintain order. In addition, he would also be in charge of counting the number of women who learned the embroidery needle technique.

Mu Yunyao was extremely happy as she repeatedly thanked Shen Binghuai. With his help, the spread of the embroidery needle technique would definitely be successful this time.

In Jingling City, Ding Yuelan had already arranged for a fast boat to send the selected embroidery ladies to the Capital. The local authorities who heard the news all the way even spontaneously sent people to protect the ship’s safety.

Many merchants rushed over after heard that Mu Yunyao would spread the embroidery needle technique throughout the Capital.

Some wanted to watch the business opportunity, and some wanted to discuss the embroidery business with Ni Yun Fang, while others wanted to recruit a group of embroidery ladies. After all, the embroidery skills of the Ni Yun Fang were obvious to all, and some are the necessary items for selling embroidery. In a short time, the whole Capital is bustling.

Soon, the news reached the Imperial Palace. The Emperor opened the teacup in his hand and took a sip after opening the lid for a while: “Imperial Elder Sister, I had no idea that such a small Ni Yun Fang could have such a huge effect.” He didn’t know if this effect is good or bad.

The Grand Princess Yi De put down the embroidery rack in her hand and looked at the peony that had just been formed. She couldn’t help but rub her forehead, “When I was young, I hated embroidery the most, but Imperial Father always had forced me to practice. Even now, I still feel a headache whenever I think about it.”

The Emperor couldn’t help but laugh, “That’s right. I still remember that Imperial Elder Sister often complains about this matter to Imperial Father.”

“In the blink of an eye, this has already happened decades ago. The embroidery craftsmanship of Ni Yun Fang are unique in the world. For the past few days, we’ve had a rare moment of leisure. How about we change our clothes, go outside for a walk and see it for ourselves?”

The Emperor was stunned, then nodded happily. “How about we take some guards and go out quietly for a day without informing anyone else?”

“That’s what I was thinking. Do you have any ordinary clothes to change into?”

“If I tell Xu Li to look for it, he’ll definitely be able to find it.”

“Alright, let’s prepare separately and gather at the entrance of the Imperial Palace.”

“Alright, I’ll go right now.” The Emperor was in high spirits and quickly got Xu Li to find clothes to change into.

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 391

~ THE SU FAMILY'S WISHFUL THINKING ~ 

Mu Yunyao understood in her heart that the Old Madam must have come to find her about the matter of spreading the embroidery needle technique. Does she want the Su family to participate in and get a share of the pie, right?

“Alright, I’ll be there right away.”

In Ninghe Garden, The Old Madam Sun frowned. Su Wenyuan, the Eldest Madam Meng, Su Zhiyuan, and the Second Madam Qi were sitting next to her.

As soon as Mu Yunyao walked in, a slight smile appeared on her lips. It seemed like the entire family had gathered together: “Greetings Grandmother, Greetings Uncles, and Greetings Aunts.”

The Old Madam’s expression softened, and with a wave of her hand, she wants Mu Yunyao to get up, “Quickly get up and sit by Grandmother’s side. I just heard that you went to visit your adoptive mother. How are she and the child? Are they in good health?”

“Everything is fine. Thank you for your concern, Grandmother.”

“Since Lord Cao and Lady Jin are your adoptive parents, they are relatives of our Su family, so you’ll have to go around more often from now on.” The Old Madam sized up Mu Yunyao and smiled. Saw her smile, Mu Yunyao’s eyes darkened a little. “Yunyao, the reason I called you to come over today is because I have something to discuss with you.”

“If grandmother has any instructions, just tell me.” Mu Yunyao stood beside the Old Madam with a smile on her face. Her tone was gentle, and she looked extremely calm and refined.

The Old Madam patted her hand and turned to look at the Eldest Madam. “Meng Shi, why haven’t you apologized to Yunyao yet?”

The Eldest Madam’s face was tense, and her whole body seemed to tremble. However, she forced out an apologetic smile and got up to speak to Mu Yunyao, “Yunyao, I was obsessed for a while and did something wrong to you. Today, Aunt is here to apologize to you. If you have anything to say, just don’t hesitate to take it out on me. I just hope that for the sake of the family, you can disregard the past grudges and forgive me.” As she spoke, she was about to kneel down and pay her respects to Mu Yunyao.

No matter what was said, the Eldest Madam was still her elder. If this ceremony continues, Mu Yunyao will become unreasonable even if she is reasonable.

Mu Yunyao wanted to step forward and help the Eldest Madam up, but the Old Madam stopped her actions and could only watch helplessly as the Eldest Madam finished her curtseying.

Mu Yunyao looked at the Old Madam, who grabbed her hand and couldn’t help but sneer in her heart. She had really underestimated this group of the Su family. For the family’s benefit, they were even able to tear off their own face and step on the ground, “Eldest Aunt, why is there a need for this? I’ve never blamed you before.”

The Old Madam let go of Mu Yunyao’s hand and nodded with a smile. “That’s more like it. I already said Yunyao is the most kind-hearted, and she definitely wouldn’t hold grudges against the family because of what happened before.”

Mu Yunyao’s thoughts turned, and she couldn’t help but laugh, “From what Grandmother said, we’re all family, why do we need to fuss over so many things?”

“That’s right. Yunyao, I heard you wanted to ask your adoptive mother to help you teach the embroidery needle technique in the Capital? This is a great thing, and there are so many people idling around in residence. If there is anyone who you want to help, you can call on them together. As long as you call out the names, everyone in residence can do as you wish.”

“If that’s the case, then I won’t be polite. Eldest Aunt has been in charge of the household for many years, and her thoughts are the most meticulous. This time, why don’t I ask Eldest Aunt to help me?”

The Eldest Madam suddenly raised her head and looked at Mu Yunyao with an alarmed and uncertain gaze. “You … Do you want me to help?”

Recently, the Second Madam and Mu Yunyao had been very close. She had personally witnessed this and thought that this great opportunity would fall upon the Second Madam. She didn’t expect that Mu Yunyao would actually choose her.

“Yes, Second Aunt is now managing the affairs of the househol, taking care of Grandmother, and taking care of Sister Su You. I’m afraid that it will be hard for her to keep up with her energy. I heard that Eldest Aunt also has several embroidery estates in her possession, and she also does some business with embroidery. It’s just right for you to come and help me. Is Eldest Aunt not willing?”

Mu Yunyao’s words were pleasant to hear, but the Eldest Madam always felt uneasy in her heart. It was just like how she hated Mu Yunyao to the bone, so she should’ve seen her as a mortal enemy too. Now that the Eldest Madam didn’t fall into the abyss and had cleared up her old grudge in the past, how could she not have been suspicious?

The Eldest Madam was still deep in thought when she felt the sharp gaze of the Old Madam and quickly regained her senses. Before Mu Yunyao returned to the residence, the Old Madam had already warned her that no matter what conditions Mu Yunyao asked for, she would participate in the announcement of the needle embroidery technique and let the Su family borrow this reputation to take advantage.

“Of course, I’m willing to help.”

Mu Yunyao smiled. “That’s great, Grandmother. Spreading the embroidery needle technique is a big matter, and many things need to be arranged carefully. Fortunately, Ni Yun Fang in the Ccapital has already opened, and there are apprentices I taught myself. Their embroidery needle technique are no less than me. It can be of great help this time.”

The Old Madam’s eyes twitched slightly, “You’ve even taught the apprentices yourself?”

“Yes, they were all chosen by hundreds of thousands. They were all clever and talented beyond ordinary people. They were born to consume embroidery. Two of them could not even compare to me in terms of craftsmanship.”

The Old Madam nodded. “It’s better for you to teach. Go back and prepare what do you need. If you need anything, just tell me. Grandmother asked someone to arrange it for you.”

“Alright, then I’ll take my leave first.”

Mu Yunyao left Ninghe Garden, a smile flashing across her eyes. The Old Madam’swishful thinking was good, but it was a pity that she did not have any plans to take advantage of the Su family.

After Mu Yunyao left, the Old Madam waved her hand to get Su Wenyuan and the others to leave, and leaving behind the Eldest Madam who had a stiff expression, “Meng Shi, do you resent me for not showing mercy in my heart?”

The Eldest Madam hurriedly shook her head. “Mother, I know that you are doing this for the East Courtyard’s good. I understand your painstaking efforts.”

The Old Madam coldly raised her lips, “whether you really understand it or understand it in your mouth. During this time, you must not have any conflict with Mu Yunyao. She is my granddaughter, the Young Miss of the Su family. You should be more tolerant of her as her Eldest Aunt. Don’t make any jokes.”

“Yes, Daughter-in-law will remember.” The Eldest Madam felt as if she had broken a tooth and swallowed it. No matter how sullen she was, she didn’t dare to show it.

“One more thing, what happened in the Su family was a family matter. Since you married from the Meng family and become a member of the Su family now. Family matter should not be related to outsiders. Do you understand that?” The Eldest Madam deliberately asked her mother, Princess Qing He, to cause trouble for Mu Yunyao. The Old Madam was originally happy to see it happen, but now that the matter of the embroidery needle technique had been spread out, the Eldest Madam could no longer do whatever she wanted.

The Eldest Madam’s face turned pale: “Mother, I’ll remember it. It’s just that Yunyao’s thoughts are different from ordinary people. I’m afraid that she might put away her grudge on the surface, but in truth she still hates me in her heart and might even take the opportunity to cause trouble for the Su family. At that time, the gains will outweigh the losses.”

The Old Madam frowned. She was also worried about this, especially since Mu Yunyao had agreed so quickly today. It was completely unlike her usual style as if she had already predicted that the Su Family would come looking for her.

Intense Love Chapter 116

~ THE SU FAMILY’S ELDEST MISS ~ 

As soon as Su Jinbei took her seat, Hei Di sneaked over. She patted Su Jinbei, who was talking to others, “Jinbei!”

Su Jinbei looked back at her, “What’s the matter?”

Hei Di lowered her voice and said in her ear, “What’s the situation? Look who it is?”

Su Jinbei was stunned, “What?”

“On the stage!”

Su Jinbe followed Heidi’s line of sight to look at the stage. When she saw the woman standing on the podium, she was stunned for a few seconds and almost burst with foul language!

Isn’t that, Mrs. Zhao Xueyan!!

Wait, what did the host say? Investor Mrs. Zhao? Investor? When did her mother become an investor? Why didn’t she know!

Director Zhang passed the microphone to Zhao Xueyan on the stage after speaking. Zhao Xueyan looked at the crowd and said, “Director Zhang is a director I have trusted. I have seen a lot of his movies and really like them. I believe this movie will not disappoint everyone.”

Zhao Xueyan paused slightly and said, “Of course, I hope you all also like my daughter’s performance in the movie.”

Da...Daughter?

The reporters were dumbfounded. Who is the investor’s daughter?

The brand-new reporters don’t know about her. However, the veteran reporters here know that Mrs. Zhao Xueyan is the head of the Su’s Group. She married the second son of Su’s family at the time, and she has always been known in the business circle. I heard that this is her first investment in the entertainment industry. Could it be because of her own daughter...

But the question is, who is the Eldest Miss from the Su family?

Everyone’s eyes were focused on the stars in the first row, and the stars looked at each other, obviously dumbfounded.

Wait, Eldest Miss from the Su family, the surname must be Su... There is only one surnamed Su here...

Su Jinbei?!

Su Jinbei looked at Zhao Xueyan on the stage with a smile, and Zhao Xueyan looked back at her with a loving face. The two looked at each other from a distance, which was a warm scene.

Actually...

What Su Jinbei’s eyes said was: Why are you here! Don’t you mean that you don’t care about my business and let me fend for myself in the entertainment industry! But you still invest secretly! Oh, it’s impressive. Knowing that becoming your daughter is not easy!

Zhao Xueyan’s eyes said: You think I want to care about you! I don’t want you to mix and hang around here, but you must insist. So what should I do! If I don’t care about you, your reputation will stink! Can my daughter be bullied by others!

The scene was silent for a while. The host on the stage was surprised. Even Director Zhang Xuecheng was surprised. He never knew what the investor had to do with his actors...

The host, “Uh, Mrs. Zhao, do you mean that your daughter is one of the actors starring this time? Wow, this is really a surprise. Everyone must not know about it.”

Zhao Xueyan smiled, “Jinbei likes to rely on her own strength. She said she doesn’t want us to interfere in her work, so she has been fighting independently since entering this circle. Of course, I’m a businessman, so I invested in this movie because I saw its prospects, and it’s not because of my daughter. But since my daughter has appeared in it, I’m also happy. Which actor doesn’t want to be in Director Zhang’s movie?”

Director Zhang smiled, “Mrs. Zhao, you are polite.” With that said, his eyes fell on Su Jinbei, so I see ... No wonder Su Jinbei has a good relationship with the Zhou family. No wonder Zhou Zhengxian came explicitly to tell him that he wanted to take care of Su Jinbei. No wonder Su Jinbei and the Zhou family’s grandson could go together...

The reporters’ flashes quickly exploded. Today’s top news has been formed silently in their hearts. Gao Zitong looked at Su Jinbei in amazement, and her mood plummeted. The Su family ... Su Jinbei was the Su family’s Eldest Miss, who had never shown her face!

Climb to a high branch, a wealthy family ... What she had said before was severely thrown back.

If Su Jinbei is from a wealthy family herself, what else is there to talk about trying to get into the rich man?

.......................................................................................................................................................................

The premiere is over, and the actors all withdraw.

Su Jinbei was sitting in the car with Zhao Xueyan arm in arm, and the flashing light flashed behind them.

Su Jinbei, “...Mom, you are really amazing.”

“You are welcome.”

“When did you come? Why didn’t you tell me in advance?”

“I flew over after reading the news about your pregnancy, but it was false. Your mother is very disappointed.”

Su Jinbei had a black line, “What about investment? What’s going on?”

“Don’t be too narcissistic about this. We really want to get a share of the entertainment industry. Investing is just to test the water. As for why I suddenly exposed you on stage, it’s because your recent reviews are too bad, and you’ve been so unpopular lately!”

Su Jinbei smiled, “Mom, just say you care about me. Thank you.”

Zhao Xueyan glanced at her, “Come on, you.”

“Eh, which hotel are you staying in tonight.” Su Jinbei asked.

Zhao Xueyan gave her a weird look, “Do you think I still need to stay in a hotel?”

“...”

Zhou’s family.

After Zhao Xueyan’s car stopped at the entrance, someone immediately came forward and waited.

“Madam Zhao.” The steward stepped forward and opened the car door for her, “You haven’t been here for a long time. The Old Madam is waiting for you inside.”

Zhao Xueyan nodded and handed the bag to the servant next to her, “Trouble the steward to lead the way.”

“Okay, please come with me.” The steward looked at Su Jinbei after he answered, “Miss Su, the Second Young Master is in the room, and he instructed me that when you are back, let you go find him...”

“En, I’ll go right away.”

Intense Love Chapter 115

~ I’M NOT PREGNANT ~ 

Today’s headline: Su Jinbei is pregnant and wants to enter the prestigious family in one fell swoop.

“Wow, she is really pregnant. I can’t see it in the picture!”

“Sure enough. It is a handsome guy that appeared on the live broadcast last time! They look so loving. ~”

“The poor woman’s struggle story looks beautiful, which is the way out...”

“Is the picture of Su Jinbei in the mountain area that came out yesterday a film or a real life...?”

“According to the news, the handsome guy in the live broadcast is a doctor who went to a mountain area free clinic. Su Jinbei went there because of him.”

“Ah ...... drooling. The handsome guy turned out to be a doctor, ah! Good heart with lots of money! Give me a dozen such boyfriends!!”

“A doctor and second rich generation. It is said that the background is quite deep! Su Jinbei can publish a book about how she hooks him up?”

“A woman who looks like this is very resourceful. Otherwise, how could she climb such high step by step.”

“So she got pregnant before I got married? It is a question of whether the giants can get this card.”

.......................................................................................................................................................................

“Birth inspection, your sister!” Su Jinbei almost smashed her phone after reading the comments on the internet. “It’s a pregnancy test!”

“What’s the difference.” Hei Di said, “It all means the same anyway. You’ve been photographed in the hospital’s gynecology department, so netizens can make up a series of dramas about it.”

“I was taken there on the spur of the moment. At that time, I was completely in a daze. Zhou Shiyun also said he was a doctor, so we just went... how long has it been on! Why did I have a reaction of morning sickness so soon!”

“I guess Doctor Zhou was over-excited. He was like you and went to the hospital with a muddled face.” Hei Di laughed, “Oh, it is not an important matter. There will definitely be questions from reporters at the premiere, so you just deny it at that time.”

“Definitely deny it because I’m not really pregnant. Today, our movie is the main theme, so speaking of my personal matters must be too much.”

“You’re right. This topic must be covered.”

Today is the premiere of the City of Crisis in Beijing. Su Jinbei is waiting for the start of the premiere in the lounge room. Yesterday, after the photo of her going to the hospital was revealed, Hei Di’s phone was blown up. Hei Di denied them one by one, and her mouth was going to dry.

“Jinbei, congratulations.” At this moment, actors like Han Wenbin and Gao Zitong walked in from outside the lounge.

“Sister Su, I also want to congratulate you.” Chen Xinai ran over and smiled very happily.

“I’m not pregnant. Don’t listen to the press.”

“Ah... why do you go to the hospital? And you also have your boyfriend with you. ~”

“Well, in fact, I’m just not feeling well.”

Han Wenbin was surprised, “So it turns out like that. But it seems that good things are coming soon.”

Su Jinbei hooked her lips and didn’t say much about this topic.

.......................................................................................................................................................................

After a few chats, everyone found a place to sit down. Su Jinbei and Chen Xinai hadn’t seen each other since the last banquet, so they sat happily chatting and taking selfies.

“Sister Su, Gao Zitong seems to be looking at you.” Chen Xinai whispered.

When Su Jinbei glanced at her, Gao Zitong turned away. According to Hei Di, Gao Zitong has not appeared in front of the public for a long time, and this premiere is her first recent appearance. Su Jinbei withdrew her gaze and became casual. She didn’t care about her anyway.

On the other side, Gao Zitong took the coffee from her assistant. She coldly looked at Su Jinbei and Chen Xinai, “Heh, climb up the high branch. I don’t know how long she can be happy.”

The assistant whispered, “Sister Zitong, what do you mean by this.”

Gao Zitong smiled, “I know what kind of family the Zhou family is. Madam Huo is very traditional and will not accept an actress with no background like Su Jinbei. Even if the younger generation likes her, the elder makes the final decision.”

“It turned out to be like this...”

“So, we just waited for her to climb high and fell hard.”

.......................................................................................................................................................................

At the beginning of the premiere, the stars came to the stage to accept interviews. As expected, Su Jinbei became the most-watched person today. The topic of “Zhou Shiyun” has never dropped.

“What do you think about entering the rich and powerful family online?”

“Will you gradually withdraw from the entertainment industry after marrying a big family? Does the man have such a request?”

.......................................................................................................................................................................

Su Jinbei responded with a faint smile.

Gao Zitong’s eyes were proud, and she knew it would be like this.

Seeing the terrible situation, the host hurriedly changed the topic, “Our main content today is movies. Since everyone has no questions about movies, we will proceed to the next session.”

“Jinbei, let’s talk about it......”

The host ignored the reporters, “Now, let us invite Director Zhang of City of Crisis and investors Mr. Wu and Mrs. Zhao to speak on stage.”

The reporter had no choice but to retreat, and Su Jinbei and other actors and stars sat down again.

“Sister Su, these reporters are surely wicked. They talk like you’re overreacting.” Chen Xinai retorted.

Su Jinbei smiled, “Don’t mention this today. I’ll explain it when the movie is over.”

Chen Xinai, “Well... that’s all right.”

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 390

~ THE IMPORTANCE OF MARRYING A VIRTUOUS WIFE ~ 

Mu Yunyao took a wooden box from Jin Lan’s hands. After opening it, she took out a longevity lock made of pure gold. It was worn with gold chains, engraved with Kirin patterns on one side and engraved words on the other, and wrote: long life and wealth.

“It should have been given to Brother Zhiwen when he was a hundred old. But at that time, Mother and Father had already brought my younger brother to the Capital. Today, I finally have a chance to make up for it.”

Lady Jin took the longevity lock and put it on the child on the spot. “Alright, Yao’er is very considerate.”

Seeing that Lady Jin’s eyes were red, Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but sigh secretly when she thought about what she’d seen before. It seemed that after her adoptive mother returned to the Capital, her days would be much more difficult than in Jingling City.

Lady Jin urged the wet nurse to carry the child out and then pulled Mu Yunyao into the room to talk.

“The strength of a child’s neck is weak. Just put on that longevity lock for a short while, then take it off. You can’t keep it hanging onall the time.”

The wet nurse quickly answered, “Yes, Miss.”

Only then did Mu Yunyao follow Lady Jin back to her room. “I can see that Mother’s expression is a little haggard. What has happened in residence these few days?”

Lady Jin sighed. “Don’t mention it. Only now do I know that there are some relatives who are not even as good as strangers. Yao’er, did you come this time because someone from the Imperial Court was playing with you?”

“Mother knows about this news too. I didn’t expect it to spread so fast.”

Lady Jin’s complexion was even worse: “Speaking of which, I’m ashamed to say that it was my father who came to the emperor to play you. Just now, he was in the front courtyard distinguish this matter with your father. I wonder if he’s left yet?”

Yin Hong brought the tea in. Upon hearing Lady Jin’s words, she hurriedly replied, “This servant just went to fetch Miss. I just happened to meet the Old Master Jin when I was entering the residence.”

Lady Jin hurriedly asked: “What a coincidence. Yao’er, did he make things difficult and embarrass you?”

“There was no embarrassment. He just said a few words. Mother, you don’t need to worry.”

Lady Jin breathed a sigh of relief, reached out her hand, and rubbed her head, looking extremely headache:

“Then that’s good. I’m now scared by the Jin family, and I’m not afraid of your jokes. If it wasn’t for my filial piety, I would have cut off all ties with the Jin family.”

After coming to the Capital, the Jin family came knocked on the door repeatedly to torment her. Previously, she was still resentful due to being persecuted by the Jin family. After several twists and turns, she completely shattered her family’s affection and had completely broken up her relationship with her family. But now that she thought about it, she only felt a chill in her heart.

“Mother, you don’t need to be so troubled. I don’t want to see sick people and thank them behind closed doors.”

“How could it be that easy? Every day they come to the residence, it’s either my father or mother. As a younger generation, if I were to shut them out, I am afraid I will be stabbed in the back. If I knew it would turn out like this, it would rather be free in Jingling City.”

Mu Yunyao smiled and said, “How can we lock our elders out? Welcome in respectfully, and politely send them out. Let the servants entertain them well.”

Lady Jin was stunned for a moment before a joyous look flashed in her eyes. “Look at me. I didn’t even think of such a simple method. Thanks to your reminder, I’ll do it when the Jin family comes back.” To be respectful and polite to the elders in front of outsiders. But don’t meet them in person inside the residence, and only let the servants entertain them. Even if the Jin family tell the truth that she and Cao Yunnian were unfilial, someone would have to believe them first.

Seeing that Lady Jin wasn’t as worried as before, Mu Yunyao started to talk about her purpose to visit. “Actually, the main reason I’m here this time is to ask Mother for help.”

“You said it. If I can do it, I will do my best to help.”

Lady Jin nodded her head happily. Earlier, she had already thought of taking care of Yunyao, but unfortunately, the Su family was in the highest position. As a fourth rank official’s wife, she could not help and could only wait on the side. Fortunately, Yunyao had her own ideas and didn’t let anyone bully her.

“Before, I was invited to the Palace and punished by the Emperor to kneel for more than half an hour because someone played with me. Fortunately, the Emperor was very clear and knew that I was wrongly accused. Thus, he agreed that I should teach people embroidery needle techniques in the Capital. As my abilities were limited, the first thing I thought of was Mother. I didn’t know if Mother might spare her hand and would be willing to help me complete this matter.”

Lady Jin couldn’t help but stare with wide eyes, “Yunyao …. you .... Are you telling the truth? “

“Of course, it’s true. The Imperial Decree has already been passed down. Didn’t Mother hear about it?”

“That’s not true. You’re not asking me for help, but it’s clear that you want me to take great credit for nothing. Yao’er … … I ... I really don’t know how to thank you.” Previously in Jingling City, she had repeatedly received Mu Yunyao’s help, which made her go smoothly step by step at a time to this day. Unexpectedly, when she came to the Capital, she had even changed hands to give himself such a great credit. This was something so many people couldn’t even ask for.

Mu Yunyao smiled and said, “A family doesn’t speak of two lines. But, what Mother said made it seem like she was speaking to outsiders.”

“Okay, I won’t say it, I won’t say it. I’ve already ordered people to prepare some food. You must accompany me to eat before leaving.”

“Alright then. I also miss the snacks at Mother’s residence too.”

After eating this meal, Lady Jin felt an unprecedented sense of comfort. After dinner, Mu Yunyao went to the front yard to pay her respects to Cao Yunnian before she got up and took her leave. Lady Jin walked her to the entrance before going back to discuss what to do next with Cao Yunnian.

When Mu Yunyao came out of the Cao family’s residence, the news Ni Yun Fang would teach embroidery needle techniques in the Capital was officially announced. Many people crowded around the entrance of Ni Yun Fang, inquiring about the authenticity of this matter.
 
Cai Yi got someone to carry over ten screens and put them one by one at the door of Ni Yun Fang. “Dear folks, the owner has instructed us to teach the embroidery needle techniques in the Capital, and she has also taught us several of these new techniques. These techniques are newly developed by the owner and have never been touched anywhere else. The embroidery needle technique used on these ten screens will include all the techniques to be imparted in the future. Ni Yun Fang needs many embroidery ladies, and as long as you all master the embroidery needle technique, you can come to Ni Yun Fang to work. Each month, you’ll earn five taels of silver. Each time you make a piece of clothing, you’ll be rewarded with five taels of silver....”

This news was even more sensational than the spread of the embroidery needle technique. The commoners, especially the women, were wild with joy. Five taels of silver every month and another five taels of silver if they made a piece of clothing. As long as they mastered the embroidery needle technique, they would be able to live their entire lives.

The commoners could only cheer and applaud, but the various residences that received the news had complicated feelings.

Of course, the most enviable one was Cao Yunniang, whose reputation was well-known before this. A local official in Jingling City was praised by the Emperor. His wife sincerely worships the Emperor when celebrating his birthday and attracted colorful butterflies. Because of this, he was promoted to the envoy of salt transportation.

After that, his wife got acquainted with Mu Yunyao, sp the credit was given to him for nothing. With the help of spreading the embroidery needle technique in Jingling City, he was promoted to the Capital in one fell swoop.

They had originally thought that this would be the end of things once he arrived in the Capital. Who would have thought that he would have a great opportunity to present himself at the door? If they knew that the Jin family’s daughter was so prosperous, they must come to the door early to ask for marriage. These officials paid particular attention to getting married and being virtuous men. With the help of a virtuous wife like Lady Jin, they can spare 20 years of struggle.

Mu Yunyao had just returned to the Su family’s residence when she saw Wen Mama, who was waiting for her at the door.
 
“This servant has seen Miss. The Old Madam has some matters to discuss with Miss and would like to invite you to go to Ninghe Garden.”

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 389

~ I THINK HE MUST BE A RARE KIND PERSON ~ 

Not long after Mu Yunyao left the Palace, the Emperor sent a decree to the Su family residence. The contents were precisely what Mu Yunyao had requested from the Palace, allowing her to teach the embroidery needle technique in the Capital.

After setting up the incense table and saluting, Mu Yunyao respectfully received the Imperial Decree: “Thank you for your trouble, Eunuch. Please come to the parlor to drink tea.”

“Miss Mu is too courteous. After the Imperial Decree is passed on, this servant must return to the Palace to report.” The Eunuch in front of her was exceptionally courteous. The news spread the fastest within the Palace. This Miss Mu had received a reward from the Emperor, so everyone in the back would know about it.

Jin Lan hurriedly stepped forward and handed over the silver pouch. The Eunuch who delivered the decree received it with a smile, then politely took his leave.

The Eldest Madam, who had received the decree with her, looked very upset. Two days ago, she pushed out the woman taught by Su Yuyi according to the plan and asked her to replace the reputation of the Moon Palace Fairy. Unfortunately, the effect it had was not satisfactory.

Almost all the people who had forgotten the matter remembered the amazing dance on the platform in front of Huan Cai Pavilion that day. Many people compared the Moon Palace Fairy to the fairy from Ni Yun Fang’s opening times. They were all almost fighting over whose dance was more beautiful.

Some poor scholars made a living by drawing pictures of the beauties of the two fairies, and it was said that they were earning quite a bit of money every day. But recently, the dispute over the title of the first beauty of the two fairies had only intensified. The scholars had to be extra careful when drawing the picture. If they accidentally draw ugly, they would make a fool of themselves, and their signboard will be smashed directly onto the ground.

Mu Yunyao didn’t pay any attention to the Eldest Madam. After she paid her respects to the Imperial Decree, she called Jin Lan and the others over. She then carefully discussed with them the matter of teaching the embroidery needle technique.

She learned a lot from the previous spread of the embroidery needle technique. The first spread was in Jingling City, and Lady Jin had greatly helped. Later, she used Caiyue Pavilion to spread the embroidery needle technique throughout Jiangnan. In fact, there were already many people in the Capital who had mastered the embroidery techniques of Ni Yun Fang. After all, the Caiyue Pavilion was also in the Capital previously, and they also taught many people for a short time. But it was only halfway through, and then it was shut down by the Emperor.

After hearing Mu Yunyao’s words, Jin Lan was slightly surprised. “Miss, are you going to make all the embroidery needle techniques public?”

When she taught embroidery needle techniques before, Mu Yunyao had more or less retained some technique. For example, the embroidery of some patterns in Ni Yun Fang was much more beautiful than the others, which is the credit to these techniques.

Mu Yunyao nodded, “That’s right.” Caiyue Pavilion had already paved the way before, so she needed to teach some new things in order to make Ni Yun Fang have a better reputation than Caiyu Pavillion. She had retained some embroidery techniques at the beginning in order to teach them in the Capital. Since this was under the feet of the Emperor, so it naturally must be treated differently from other places.

“Miss, if there’s anything this servant can do, please instruct me.”

“I want to visit my adoptive mother tomorrow, and I’ll have to ask her for more help with this matter.”

“It was Lady Jin who presided over the propagation of the embroidery needle technique in Jingling City. With the help of the previous experiences, things will be much smoother this time.”

The Cao family’s residence was quite a distance away. After circling around two streets, it took them less than half an hour to arrive. Just as the carriage came to a stop, Yin Hong walked over quickly, “This servant greets Miss.”

Mu Yunyao got out of the carriage and couldn’t help but reveal a wisp of a smile when she saw Yin Hong. “Yin Hong, I haven’t seen you for a long time. Is everything alright?”

Yin Hong smiled and sighed. She felt Mu Yunyao’s usual attitude and felt sour in her heart, “In reply to Miss, everything is fine. I thank Miss for your concern. Madam has been very happy after receiving Miss’s letter. She got up early this morning and waited in the house. Please come in, Miss.”

Mu Yunyao followed Yin Hong inside. Just as she arrived at the residence’s entrance, she saw an old man walking out from within.

When the old man saw Mu Yunyao, he immediately stopped his steps. Frowning, he scanned her from head to toe. His eyes were filled with a picky expression. He then coldly snorted and said with his hands behind his back, “What, don’t you know to salute when you see your elders?”

Yin Hong’s expression changed as she whispered, “Miss, this is Master’s father-in-law, Lord Jin.”

Mu Yunyao raised her eyes and slightly took two steps forward before curtsying. “Greetings to the Old Master Jin.”

“Humph, disrespectful, don’t abide by etiquette, and only uses some tricks to gain fame and win back the hearts of the people. Such actions are truly unworthy of entering the Jin family’s territory!”

Mu Yunyao’s heart skipped a beat. She came to the Cao family this time to ask for Lady Jin’s help to teach embroidery needle techniques. She also wanted to find out who was in the court play with her through Cao Yunnian. However, she didn’t expect that before she had even seen Lady Jin, the second question had already been solved, “Old Master Jin, your cheeks are red. Your eyebrows and brow bone also has a scarlet tint. With a single glance, one can tell that virtual fire is vigorous. The most important thing for an old man is to calm his mind and temper himself, so that he can live for a long life.”

“What do you mean, are you cursing me? As a junior, are you going to talk to me like this?”

“Good medicine works against the sick, and good words work against the ear. The old man sshould be more aware of this truth when he is an official in Imperial Court. I hope you can live for a hundred years, right?” If this Old Master Jin was kind and understanding, she wouldn’t mind using him as an elder to please him. But now, he was clearly looking for trouble, so she doesn’t have to care about the so-called elder who can’t beat her.

“A bunch of nonsense. She’s so young, yet she’s still so charming. I wonder what kind of trick she used to win Cao yunnian’s favor. She is indeed a deep-minded person!”

“There is a good saying that if you have a Buddha in your heart, then all things are Buddha.But if there is filth in the heart, then all things are impure. I think that Master Cao has a kind face, so he must be a rare kind person.” Mu Yunyao replied with a smile.

The Old Master Jin glared at Mu Yunyao. His words were choked in his throat as he pointed at Mu Yunyao with a furious voice, “Cunning words and charming expressions!”

“Old Master, do you haveanything else to say? If you don’t have any, I will enter the Cao family first.” Mu Yunyao purposely emphasized the words Cao family. Previously, this Old Master Jin had said that she wasn’t worthy of entering the Jin family’s territory, but this was the Cao family’s residence. He, a father-in-law, treated this place as the Jin family’s territory. However, whether Cao Yunnian agrees or not, she doesn’t know.

“You … Hmph, only women and lowly people are hard to raise. I won’t bother with you.”

Mu Yunyao’s smile deepened. “Then I’ll thank the Old Master. Please take care and walks slowly.”

After entering the residence and walking to the backyard, Yin Hong breathed a sigh of relief. “This servant was worried to death just now. Ever since Madam returned to the Capital, the Jin family had caused trouble many times, especially this Old Master Jin. He is Master’s father-in-law, the one who commanded the family from within, and has caused the Madam to cry in anger for who knows how many times.”

“He’s just an old man.”

When they arrived at the inner courtyard, Lady Jin was sitting with the child in her arms. When she saw Mu Yunyao, a smile immediately appeared on her face. “Yunyao, I’ve been looking forward to seeing you.”

Mu Yunyao stepped forward with a smile. “Greetings, Mother. I’ve been busy these days and haven’t been able to visit you at your residence. Please don’t blame me.” Lady Jin handed her child to the wet nurse at the side and stepped forward to help Mu Yunyao up. “Quickly get up. Don’t be so overly courteous.”
