Incurable Chapter 40 Part 2

Mu Qing and Yan Mei looked at the door at the same time. Beside the screen wall, Mu Wan was standing there with slender figures and cold expressions.

Seeing Mu Wan, Mu Qing moved her masseter muscle and looked back at Shen Cheng first. Because of Mu Wan’s words, Shen Cheng cast his eyes on her, who stood next to the screen wall.

Mu Qing stood up from her seat as Shen Cheng turned around. Mu Qing looked at him faintly and said, “Why not? Who are you? This is our Mu family’s business. What does it have to do with you?”

When Mu Qing spoke, Yan Mei took back her sight and looked at Mother Wu, who stood in the backyard. Mother Wu stood there carefully. When she saw Yan Mei looking over her, she was so frightened that she quickly turned and left.

It seems that Mother Wu informed her to come.

This Mother Wu is really getting more and more presumptuous. She knew that Mother Wu had taken care of Mu Wan for many years and also talked to Mu Wan about the Mu family’s matter. She has not dismissed her because she has worked in Mu family for a long time, and the price is reasonable.

Now it seems that she is really shameless. She even secretly tells Mu Wan to come over. It’s bold.

While Mu Qing was talking, Mu Wan had already walked over. The Mu family has not changed much from before, and there is a cold breath everywhere. Mu Wan stood still in the main hall, looked at Mu Qing, and said, “Didn’t you just say that you were going to move my mother’s tomb out of the Mu family’s cemetery? Since she moved out, she is not a member of the Mu family anymore, so why can’t I take care of it.”

In fact, Mu Wan has no position to stand here today. Other than refuting Mu Qing, what she said had no binding force on the Mu family. Yan Mei hadn’t seen Mu Wan for many years. After the college entrance examination was over, Yan Mei remembered that Mu Wan had moved out from the Mu family’s house and said she had nothing to do with the Mu family. Over the years, she has faded away from the fierceness of her teenage years, but she has become more and more like her mother, becoming more and more indifferent.

“Whether it’s moving out or staying in the Mu family’s house, it really has nothing to do with you.” Yan Mei maintained the demeanor of a lady, staring at Mu Wan coldly, and said, “We don’t welcome you. Please go out immediately.”

Mu Wan had seen their shamelessness before, and her emotions did not fluctuate much. Looking at Yan Mei, Mu Wan asked, “Does Mu Yatang agree?”

The mother and daughter are now pondering over these little things. Her mother is Mu Yatang’s biological sister anyway, and she can’t do such a thing no matter what.

“Mu Yatang?” Mu Qing sneered, “You are getting more and more polite.”

She walked to Mu Wan and looked at her. She could see that Mu Wan was just pretending to be calm, and she must be very flustered. Mu Wan is alone in this world and is not afraid of what she does. But if she did anything to her dead mother, Mu Wan would definitely die in pain.

Mu Qing felt some pleasure in her heart, sweeping away the haze when she left the crew today. Mu Qing looked at her with a smile and said, “Whether my dad agrees or disagrees, it entirely depends on me. What’s the matter? You don’t want to move it so much? Don’t you hate the Mu family the most? Why do you insist on putting your mother’s tomb here?”

“Mu Qing.” Yan Mei reminded her. Shen Cheng is still here, so they can’t spread the matter out.

“Shen Cheng knew it a long time ago.” Mu Qing smiled lightly and said to her mother. After she said, she folded her arms and said, “You come here today because do you want to threaten us with your mother’s unmarried pregnancy like you did in high school? Then go! Follow us! Let the fish die, and the net is broken!”

“When you send the news, I will let Shen Cheng remove it. Let’s see if you send it faster or Shen Cheng remove it faster.”

“Besides, it doesn’t matter if we don’t remove it. You use your own mother’s scandal to threatens us, so you are not a good thing. Let everyone see what kind of person you are, everyone will laugh at you, and it has no effect on me.”

“Yes, I forgot to tell you. Shen Cheng and I are getting engaged in a few days. I’m going to join the Shen family. How about you? Would your fat-headed gold master divorce his wife and marry you? Or maybe he’s already had another girl. Someone’s going to give you a big hand? You are too proud of yourself at this moment, wait for you to be dumped by him, and see how I can kill you. You must know that in the entertainment industry, the Shen family is the most powerful.”

It was like she said all the words buried in the bottom of her heart. When she said it all, Mu Qing had a stern look in her eyes, and she finished with a sneer as if she had waved away all the shadows that had been pressing on her body for a long time. She looked at the poor Mu Wan in front of her, her smile gradually warming from the cold side. She turned around and hugged Shen Cheng’s arm and asked, “Shen Cheng, don’t you think so?”

Mu Qing was already much happier than before. Shen Cheng smiled and said, “Of course, Shen’s Entertainment is certainly the best in the entertainment industry.”

“Mu Wan.” A man’s voice came from the door.

Mu Man glanced at Mu Qing and Shen Cheng, then turned around and looked at the door. By the side of the screen wall, Liu Qianxiu stood there, tall and thin, with a cold and indifferent temperament.

Here comes her man.

After Mu Wan saw him, his light brows moved, and he walked over. Mu Wan watched him come to her, looked up at him, and suddenly smiled with red eyes.

“How do you know where the the Mu family’s house is?”

“Mr. Liu...” Before Liu Qianxiu did not answer her, Shen Cheng, who stood beside Mu Qing, had already called him out. His tone was shocked and suppressed.

Liu Qianxiu’s gaze stayed on Mu Wan, and he quietly replied, “I know everything about you.”

Mu Wan blinked in a trance. Everything seemed to have an answer.

Liu Qianxiu took her hand and closed her fingers. Liu Qianxiu looked at Shen Cheng indifferently and asked, “What did you just say?”

Shen Cheng didn’t seem to react yet, but Mu Qing beside him kept asking, “Who is he?” But he couldn’t answer. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the hands he and Mu Wan held together, not daring to look directly into his eyes.

“No...nothing.” Shen Cheng whispered.

The author has something to say:
Liu Daochang: You dare to do something that makes Mu Wan unhappy, show me!

Intense Love Chapter 125

~ EXTRA (1) ~ 

Yu Wei, a well-known paparazzi, revealed on Wednesday that Su Jinbei, who had been married for many years, was pregnant and had been pregnant for more than three months.

As soon as the news came out, Su Jinbei became popular on Weibo, and many netizens rushed to Su Jinbei’s Weibo to give their blessings.

Of course, some people expressed surprise.

“Really? Jinbei recorded a variety show yesterday. Judging from the fans’ photos, I can’t see that she is pregnant.”

“Wearing a big sweatshirt, no wonder....”

“You’re too thin. Baby Zhou needs to give Jinbei a supplement.”

“When you’re pregnant, you’re still out to work! Hurry to have a rest.”

“Boy or girl? So curious. ~~”

“A person who is pregnant is slimmer than me who is not pregnant. I express doubts about life....”

…

As the protagonist, the Internet exploded, but Su Jinbei leisurely strolled around the baby store with Zhou Shiyun.

“We didn’t even know if it was a boy or a girl, so we bought this one. It won’t be wasted.

“It’s okay.” Zhou Shiyun said, “Buy them all. They will always be used.”

Su Jinbei nodded, “Yes, it’s estimated that my eldest brother is coming soon, too, so I should prepare gifts for the sleeping baby in advance.”

Zhou Shiyun curled his lips and smiled, “We will use it ourselves.”

Su Jinbei glared at him, “I haven’t given birth to this baby, yet you just think about the second one.”

Zhou Shiyun, “If you have two, you can let them play together without disturbing us.”

Su Jinbei glanced at him, “…Is there anyone who becomes a father like this?”

Zhou Shiyun calmly raised his hand, touched the girl’s clothes on the shelf, and then turned away from the subject, “This looks good. Buy it.”

Su Jinbei turned her head to look and was attracted by the pink and tender clothes, “Okay.”

“This one.”

“It’s too pink!”

Zhou Shiyun said, “It’s suitable for a girl.”

“Oh.”

“This material is very soft.” Zhou Shiyun took another one and threw it into the shopping cart.

“This one is also good.”

Su Jinbei followed Zhou Shiyun behind him, silently watching him take small clothes and toys one after another. Finally, she couldn’t help but say, “Baby Zhou, aren’t your heart biased too much.”

Zhou Shiyun turned his head, “En?”

Su Jinbei pointed to the shopping cart, “It’s all for girls, and it’s all pink. Where did you put your son.”

Zhou Shiyun pondered for a moment, “What about the boys?”

Su Jinbei glanced at him lightly, “Do you like girls?”

Zhou Shiyun was silent momentarily, then nodded, “Girls are just like you, very good.” His heart melted when he thought of a cute little girl rubbing against him and calling him father.

Su Jinbei touched her stomach, “Tsk. Baby, Mom is honestly worried that you are a boy. Look at your father! It’s so obvious in his heart.”

Zhou Shiyun, “....”

The two spent a long time shopping in the baby store and buying a lot. After paying the bill, the Zhou family servant who followed behind them helped put the things back into the car first.

“Are you tired?” Zhou Shiyun looked at her.

Su Jinbei shook her head, “It’s hard to come out and go shopping. It’s not so easy to get tired.”

After she said that, the two happened to pass by a high-heeled shoe store. Su Jinbei often visits this shop, bringing two or three pairs of shoes back whenever she comes.

“Go and have a look.”

Zhou Shiyun said, “No.”

“I’ll just look at them, and I’m not wearing them.” Su Jinbei has been wearing flat shoes since she was pregnant. Her eyes were red when she saw the high heels that hadn’t been worn for a long time, which were the latest model.

“Since you can’t wear it, what are you looking at.”

“I’ll just take a look.” Su Jinbei blinked, staring at Zhou Shiyun pitifully. Zhou Shiyun couldn’t be stared at, “Su Jingbei, you don’t want to wear high heels these days.”

“Okay, okay, I know.” Su Jinbei happily responded while pulling Zhou Shiyun in.

“This one looks good!”

Waiter, “Miss Su, this is a limited edition. Our shop has only three pairs, and the other two have been bought.”

“What is the size?”

“37.”

“What a coincidence! It’s my size.” After Su Jinbei finished speaking, looking back at Zhou Shiyun, love was definitely in her eyes.

Zhou Shiyun, “....”

“Baby Zhou, there is only one pair left.”

“You just promised me something.”

Su Jinbei raised three fingers, “I’ll buy it, but I promise I won’t wear it!”

Waiter, “???” What kind of routine?

Zhou Shiyun shook his head, knowing this person could not bear the temptation.

“Who secretly wore high heels out to catch the schedule when I was away, and what else did you say… the brand gave it to you, and you must help advertise for them?”

“That’s true....” Su Jinbei walked over, holding his hand and acting like a baby. “But this time, I swear I won’t wear them. I definitely wear flat shoes before giving birth to my baby. I’m just like this pair too much.”

Zhou Shiyun curled his lips and was amused by her.

A room was specially reserved for her to wear high heels at home. When she bought them, each pair was her favorite.

“Wrap it up.” Zhou Shiyun said to the waiter.

Su Jinbei smiled at him, “I know you love me.”

Zhou Shiyun shook helplessly, “It’s fine if you are obedient.”

Su Jinbei completely broke her heart to show, “Absolutely obedient!”

Incurable Chapter 40 Part 1

Mu Wan hadn’t returned to Mu family’s house for six or seven years. The Mu family’s house was not a good place, so she didn’t remember it so clearly. She was counting the time.

She has been living with her mother in the Mu family since she remembered. The Mu family’s house is a southern courtyard-style building with the main hall, a side hall, and a garden behind it. She and her mother live in the side hall behind the backyard.

The Mu family is engaged in the cloth business, and it is because of the tailoring skills of the Mu family that they can start the cloth business. Grandfather was skilled in craftsmanship. Almost every one of Xiacheng celebrities in the Republic of China had a cheongsam made by Master Mu of Mu family in Chengxi.

Grandfather had a son and a daughter. Mu Qing’s father learned the skill from his grandfather since childhood. But he was not interested in it, nor was he have intelligence in learning. On the contrary, Mu Wan’s mother was very talented and learned the eight-point craftsmanship of her grandfather.

When her mother was alive, she didn’t talk to Mu Wan about her father, and the Mu family also kept silent about her father, saying that he was dead. Mu Wan and her mother live in the Mu family’s house, but they don’t eat and drink for nothing. After his grandfather passed away, the Mu family’s craftsmanship sign became her mother, and Mu Wan watched her mother make cheongsam since she was a child.

Because of her mother’s craftsmanship, the Mu family did not dare to do anything to Mu Wan and her mother. When her mother was alive, except when she was not there, Mu Wan was ridiculed. At other times, she was well protected by her mother.

Her grandmother prefers sons over daughters. After her grandfather’s death, all the assets in the Mu family were given to Mu Qing’s father, Mu Yatang. Mu Yatang married Yan Mei, the Yan family’s daughter, and gave birth to Mu Qing.

The three members of the family are not good people. Mu Yatang just wants to use her mother’s craftsmanship and reputation to maintain the Mu family’s business. On the other hand, Yan Mei felt that her mother was pregnant before marriage and raised Mu Wan made the Mu family lose their face. Especially after Mu Qing was born, as the two children grew up, it was evident that Mu Wan was better-looking and smarter than Mu Qing. Thus, she felt jealous again and was picky about Mu Wan.

Yan Mei raised Mu Qing in various ways since she was a child, but her talent was limited. So, she can hardly lift her head in front of Mu Wan, becoming inferior and vain. In Mu Qing’s heart, Mu Wan was like her lifelong shadow and enemy.

Mu Wan and her mother were able to live quietly in the Mu family home in this kind of environment, not only her mother’s craftsmanship but also her mother’s personality. She just wants to live quietly with Mu Wan, not to fight or grab, not compete or rob, not seek wealth and prestige, but to live comfortably and conveniently.

To some extent, the way Mu Wan lives today is also greatly influenced by her mother.

At that time, Mu Wan was young and listened to her mother’s words obediently. She always stayed with her mother when she was at home and rarely went to the front yard. At school, Mu Wan was a stranger to Mu Qing and pretended not to know her. She crouched beside her mother like a little fox. Even if her mother is not strong enough, she can also shelter her from wind and rain. Mu Wan’s life is peaceful and happy at that time.

But this kind of life didn’t last long. After graduating from elementary school, her mother fell seriously ill, could not be cured for a long time, and finally died. Before she died, she told Mu Wan that if Mu Yatang and the others drove her out of the Mu family’s house, they would threaten them with her status.

The Mu family is in decline. Another scandal will affect Mu Qing’s reputation, and she couldn’t marry a good family.

When her mother passed away, Mu Wan was only twelve years old. Both her parents had died, and she had no relatives. Her mother just wanted her to have a place to stay, receive education, and grow up normally. Even if she got ridiculed in the Mu family’s house, it is better than having no fixed place outside.

As soon as her mother died, Mu Wan’s blessing also disappeared. In addition to cynicism at the Mu family’s house, she has also been severely beaten by Yan Mei and Mu Yatang and violently treated by Mu Qing.

Middle school children can imagine more wicked ways than adults, and Mu Wan’s life is completely dark. At that time, Mu Wan was too young and had just lost the protection of her mother, so her mind was still immature. The life of walking on thin ice also made her gradually stronger. In high school, if the Mu family’s attitude were not good, she would threaten the Mu family with the things his mother revealed to him before her death. However, at that time, Mu Wan’s word was actually just a threat. She was just an adolescent girl with strong-minded, and she didn’t want to destroy her mother’s reputation because of herself.

As Mu Wan grew up, she was no longer as polite to Mu Qing as she used to be. She was like a lion with exploded hair, beginning to be aggressive, and the Mu family gradually restrained her.

After graduating from high school, Mu Wan was admitted to the Film Academy in order to make money quickly and completely cut off contact with the Mu family. Occasionally, Mother Wu would visit her at school and tell her about Mu Qing’s situation. Mu Qing failed in the college entrance examination and was sent abroad by Mu Yatang to learn dance. Hearing what Mother Wu said, the Mu family also wanted Mu Qing to enter the entertainment industry.

Even if you can’t wed a big family, you can marry a rich man after becoming famous in the entertainment industry. Mu Yatang did not make a mistake in this step. When Mu Qing came back from abroad, she met Shen Cheng. Shen Cheng is not only a wealthy family but also gave up his heart to Mu Qing. The Mu family had become attached to the Shen family. Now that she had cleared away the gloom of her family fortune, she was really proud of herself.

Mu Wan looked out of the car window, thinking things out in her mind and distracted. The taxi stopped at the end of the lane, and the driver turned the meter and reminded her, “Miss, we are here.”

“Okay, thank you.” Mu Wan took back her sight, and after paying the fare, she opened the door and got out of the car.

The development of Xiacheng did not lead to the development of the Western District. This area is full of old-fashioned buildings in Xiacheng, an alley, and a few houses, all are in blue tiles’ style and white walls with small doorways.

The lanes are neither spacious nor narrow, the cars couldn’t get in, and the street lamps were the ones that were directly mounted on the wall. When Mu Wan was a child, her mother went to pick her up from cram school and bought her a small cake at the shop just down the street. While eating, she would take her mother’s hand and go home.

This road is quite old and long, and it carries a lot of her memories. Even though she had a hard time after her mother died, she walked through it again and thought more of being with her mother.

With her eyes closed, Mu Wan walked to the door of the Mu family’s house. The door was not closed, Mu Wan pushed the door and walked in, crossing the screen wall, and the main hall came into view. Before she saw anyone, she heard Yan Mei’s voice first.

“If you can’t act in this drama, then it’s over. Didn’t Acheng also invest in other dramas for you? Why did you have to screw in this drama?” Yan Mei raised her eyes and glanced at Shen Cheng standing on one side from time to time as she spoke.

After Mu Qing came back from the crew, she lost her temper, and in her anger, she said to move Mu Wan’s Mother’s tomb. Yan Mei was anxious at the time, so she agreed. As a result, Mu Qing’s anger didn’t come down. Later, Shen Cheng came and became a little quiet.

Usually, Mu Qing in front of Shen Cheng has always been quiet and elegant. Now she is suddenly angry, Yan Mei is also worried that Shen Cheng’s impression of her will deteriorate. But Mu Qing was still very capable. After she lost her temper, Shen Cheng looked distressed and said to give her better resources.

Shen Cheng coaxed and persuaded Mu Qing to get forward. When Mu Qing was satisfied, Yan Mei dared to ask what was going on. It turned out that Mu Qing was in the crew today and suddenly was notified that she could not act in this drama. Mu Qing has a high spirit and has been going well after entering the entertainment industry. She has never suffered such grievances like this, so she did not rush to her schedule and went straight back home.

Mu Qing sat on the sofa with her arms on the armrests, stared at the water glass on the coffee table, and sneered.

“It must be Mu Wan who is playing tricks behind her back.”

Speaking of Mu Wan, Yan Mei’s expression changed again. Mu Qing is so concerned about Mu Wan that she has no logic when thinking. Every time something wrong happened, she would blame it on Mu Wan. But if you think about it carefully, Mu Wan is a supporting role, so how can she have such a great ability.

“How can she have such great ability.” Yan Mei said with slight disdain, then turned to look at Shen Cheng and smiled, “A Cheng, what do you say is the reason for your company’s suddenly withdraw their capital this time?”

Shen Cheng stood behind Mu Qing and put his arms on her thin shoulders to comfort her. When Mu Qing got angry, she looked cold and desolate, looking more affectionate than usual.

For the Mu family, Shen Cheng only cared about Mu Qing. Hearing Yan Mei’s question, his eyebrows frowned, and he only said, “It is the group who requested to withdraw the capital, and I did not ask for details. This is not a good resource anyway. It’s what Mu Qing wanted all of a sudden, so there is nothing wrong if she not acting this time.”

“That’s right. That’s right.” Yan Mei echoed.

“I don’t want to let it go.” After Mu Qing finished speaking, she looked at Yan Mei, “When will Dad coming back? Tomorrow, on Mu Wan’s mother’s death anniversary, her tomb will be moved. She has a child, so why are she still buried in our Mu family?”

“Who dares?” There was a faint voice.

~ IN TERMS OF COMPREHENSIVENESS, MU YUNYAO LOST ~ 

Xu Qi smiled and said, “I just returned to the Capital today to visit the Grand Princess, but I heard that the Grand Princess came to Baohua Temple to repay her wish. I should have been waiting quietly at the foot of the mountain, but I really missed the Grand Princess, so I came up here. I wonder if the Grand Princess rest in her room now?”

Mu Yunyao slightly nodded. “The Grand Princess is in a small courtyard in one of the rooms on the easternmost side.”

Xu Qi was so happy, “The wind is getting strong now, so it might snow in a bit. Miss Mu, please don’t get the wind here to prevent it from getting cold. You should better hurry back to your room to get warm.”

“Thank you for the reminder, Miss Xu.”

At this moment, Jin Lan and Jin Qiao rushed over. Upon seeing Xu Qi, who talked to Mu Yunyao, they first knelt and said, “Miss, there’s a breeze. Madam has ordered her servants to come and find you.”

“Got it. This is Miss Xu, the daughter of the Grand Princess’s adopted son, Lord Xu.”

“Greetings, Miss Xu.”

“There’s no need for the two ladies to be so courteous,” Xu Qi had a gentle smile on her face, and her face was filled with elegance and gentleness. Her appearance was not the best, but her bearing was expressly bright and generous. “Oh, it’s snowing. Let’s go back to the room quickly.”

Mu Yunyao raised her head to look at the sky. A small snowflake floated down, so she stretched out her hand to catch a snowflake. When the snowflakes touched her warm fingers, they instantly melted into water droplets that carried a slight coldness. “Let’s go.”

When she returned to the courtyard of Grand Princess Yi De, her cloak was immediately pulled off by Qu Mama. “Young Miss has returned. The Grand Princess discovered that it was snowing and was afraid that Young Miss at Baohua Temple was not used to eating, so she had someone prepare a pot for her. It’s best to eat a pot in the winter when it’s snowing.”

“Qu Mama, Miss Xu is coming.” When she found that Qu Mama didn’t notice Xu Qi on her side, Mu Yunyao quickly gave a voice to remind her.

Qu Mama raised her head in surprise and hurriedly slapped herself lightly on the cheek, “Look at this servant’s eyes. I actually didn’t notice, Miss Xu. When did you return from Yanzhou? Why didn’t you send a letter in advance? Your Royal Highness Grand Princess was still muttering about it earlier.”

“When Father heard that the Grand Princess was going to stay in the Capital for a few more days, he couldn’t help but worry for her, so we hurried over from Yanzhou.”

“Look at the cold air on Miss’s body. Come in quickly and warm yourself up. This servant will go tell the Grand Princess right away.”

Grand Princess Yi De has discussed with Su Qing the dress styles that Mu Yunyao should be wearing when coming of age ceremony. Hearing Qu Mama’s report, she showed a surprised expression, “Xu Fei and Xu Qi are back?”

“Yes, and Miss Xu Qi also went up the mountain. She’s currently waiting in the outer room.”

The Grand Princess Yi De’s forehead twitched, then she smiled. “That child is also very thoughtful. Let’s go out and meet her outside.”

Seeing Grand Princess Yi De walkout, Xu Qi quickly went up and greeted, “Greetings, Your Royal Highness.”

“Quickly get up. Today’s weather is surprisingly cold, and the road is not easy to walk on. It’s hard for you to catch up to me, come over and let me take a look at you. You look much thinner than before.”

Xu Qi stood up and saw some wrinkles on the hem of Grand Princess Yi De’s skirt. She quickly squatted down and helped to arrange it, her movements exceptionally smooth and natural, “Father was worried about the Grand Princess, so we hurried along the way. The carriage is about to fall apart.”

Looking at her movements, the Grand Princess Yi De extended a hand to help her up. “Quickly sit down and rest. Your father’s temper is always so restless, and he didn’t listen to many times. Right, have you met with Yunyao yet?”

“I just happened to meet Miss Mu at the entrance of the temple. It’s all thanks to her for guiding the way.” Xu Qi’s face was full of smiles as she spoke with a sense of closeness to Mu Yunyao.

The Grand Princess Yi De waved her hand, gesturing for Mu Yunyao to come forward. “Xu Fei is my adopted son, so you should call him Uncle. Xu Qi is one year older than you, so you can call her Elder Sister Qi.”

Mu Yunyao smiled as she nodded, curtsied, and said, “Greetings, Elder Sister Qi.”

“Little sister Yunyao doesn’t need to be so polite. I’m the one taking advantage of you here.” Xu Qi intimately held onto Mu Yunyao’s hand. “I’ve always wanted to have a little sister, but unfortunately, other than my two brothers, I’m the only other girl in the house. Usually, I don’t have anyone to talk to, but now I’ve got what I wanted.”

After Xu Qi finished speaking, she noticed Su Qing standing beside Grand Princess Yi De. With a questioning look in her eyes, she asked, “May I know who this lady is?”

Mu Yunyao opened her mouth and said, “This is my mother.”

Xu Qi bowed without hesitation, “Greetings, Madam.”

“Miss Xu is too polite.”

The Grand Princess Yi De smiled as she spoke. “Enough. All of you, sit down. I’m afraid the entire trip here has been so cold. Have Qu Mama order someone to set the table. We need to eat something warm and tasty.”

Very soon, the food was served. A hot pot was placed on the table with steam rising from it. Although it was all vegetarian dishes, it was still exceptionally delicious.

Seeing that the food was almost done cooking, Mu Yunyao wanted to move her chopsticks, but she saw that Xu Qi had already stood up, skillfully helping the Grand Princess Yi De prepare the dishes.

Mu Yunyao’s finger trembled slightly as she placed the dish into Su Qing’s bowl.

“The Grand Princess should eat more tofu. Remember that last year, you were in the Palace, and you still missed the vegetarian dishes from Baohua Temple.”

The Grand Princess Yi De nodded. “It’s hard for you to remember.”

“I remember every single thing about the Grand Princess.”

“Don’t be busy. Let’s sit down and eat together.” During this period of time, the Grand Princess Yi De, Su Qing, and Mu Yunyao had eaten together and used the distinctive dishes of the maidservants. It was just like ordinary people. But after getting used to it, she felt a kind of warmth. Now Xu Qi stood aside and waited attentively, making her think that the meal was less delicious.

Xu Qi did not listen to the Grand Princess and waited for her to finish eating. Then, she sat down to the side and simply ate two bites.

After eating, Mu Yunyao returned to her room to rest. Jin Lan and Jin Qiao helped make the bed with a small entanglement on their faces, “Miss, what do you think of Miss Xu?”

Mu Yunyao raised her head. “It’s the first time we’ve met. Where I can tell you how people are?”

“This maidservant looks at that Miss Xu quite frank and had generous character. I don’t know why, but I kept feeling that she has some sort of enmity towards Miss? Do you think it’s because Grand Princess Yi De wants to acknowledge you as her granddaughter? Thus, She was unhappy?”

“Don’t talk nonsens. Lord Xu is the adopted son of the Grand Princess. If you carefully calculated things, she could be considered the Grand Princess’s adopted granddaughter. Even if Grand Princess Yi De recognizes me as her granddaughter, I would not be a problem to her. Why is she holding any hostility towards me?”

Jin Qiao pouted and said in a small voice, “Just like the Su family. They even related by blood to the Madam. Aren’t they just doing everything possible to persecute them? Sometimes, people’s hearts are the most difficult to fathom to guess. If they can’t think about it, they will do some confused things.”

“Don’t think about all that nonsense. I think the Grand Princess also has some feelings for that Miss Xu. Don’t make things difficult for her just because of some suspicion.”

“Yes.”

~ SLEEP IN THE BED HE SLEPT IN ~ 

When he was celebrating the New Year in the Su’s Residence in Jingling City, he ate a delicious bun for the first time. After returning to Western Guangdong, he thought for a long time before he asked people to create pearl hairpins in the shape of the Chinese zodiac. He only thought about giving one to Yunyao every year if he had the chance in the future. But later on, when he thought about it carefully, Yunyao was going to be celebrating her coming of age ceremony old this year, so he asked people to make another hairpin in the shape of a cat. He took advantage of the Su family’s Second Madam, Lady Qi. When she asked someone to make a hairpin crown for Mu Yunyao, he secretly put it in. He didn’t know if Yunyao liked it or not.

Yue Wang stretched out his fingers and slowly brushed them over the pearl hairpin. The expression in his eyes was warm and exquisite. Ever since he met Mu Yunyao, he had basically placed all of his patience and gentleness onto her, purposely restraining the bigotry and ruthlessness in his heart, afraid that his temperament would scare her. After the two had made a promise on the hunting grounds, he thought that he only needed to wait patiently for a year before he could lock her tightly by his side. However, he never thought that Yunyao was actually the granddaughter of Imperial Aunt … …

Yue Wang took out the sleeping rabbit hairpin that belonged to Mu Yunyaoo’s zodiac sign. He gently brushed it across the Jade Rabbit, and the emotions in his eyes slowly faded until they congealed into an ink-black color like the night. Yunyao was his, and nothing could separate them, not even blood relatives!

The porridge serving was especially lively during the New Year’s Festival. The New Year’s Festival this year was already quite good. There was still quite a lot of food leftover. In addition to that, many women studied embroidery and earned quite a bit of silver from selling it. Thus, people’s enthusiasm to participate in offering porridge at the New Year’s Festival is exceptionally high.

Before, Jingling City was in the limelight. Now that Miss Mu and Ni Yun Fang had come to the Capital, there was no reason for them to be outdone. This was the Capital, under the watch of the Emperor, and the most prosperous city in the Dali Dynasty, the scale of porridge must not be small!

In order to busy himself with the matter of giving porridge during the New Year, Yue Wang did not touch the ground. It was not easy for him to arrange a meeting with Mu Yunyao, but when he found out that she was willing to accompany Grand Princess Yi De to Baohua Temple to repay her wish, it was too late.

In winter, there are cold and frost bursts. Mu Yunyao was afraid of the cold, which was why her clothes were particularly thick.

The upper body is wearing a short-breasted jacket with hazy clouds and flowers. The sleeves and the edges of the neckline are rolled with rabbit fur. The snow-white coat sets off Mu Yunyao’s face looked like it was covered with powder, making her look even more delicate and beautiful. The lower body is wearing a thick purple skirt with green patterns and a fragrant satin embroidered cloak, which makes people feel warm at a glance.

Grand Princess Yi De took the warm stove from Qu Mama’s hands and pressed it into Mu Yunyao’s hands, “Quickly take it. Don’t freeze our Yao’er to death.”

Mu Yunyao looked at herself and then at Grand Princess Yi De and Su Qing. After a small comparison, her face slightly blushed. “Grandmother, I’m wearing pretty thick clothes, so I don’t feel cold right now.”

“You just got out of the carriage, so you haven’t felt it yet. In a little while, the cold wind on the mountain will blow, and you’ll know that you can’t stand it. Take it. I’ll have the Imperial Physician take a look at your pulse and carefully recuperate your body. You can’t be so afraid of the cold like this. You might have to suffer greatly in the future.” Women are expressly afraid of the cold, mainly because of body cold. Although body cold wasn’t a big problem, it still made people suffer greatly, so it was better for him to recuperate early.

Mu Yunyao knew that the Grand Princess Yi De was doing this out of love and care for her, so she didn’t refute. She accompanied the Grand Princess Yi De slowly walked up the mountain.

After walking for about an hour, she finally saw the entrance to Baohua Temple.

The abbot of Baohua Temple, Master Yuanguang, was waiting outside the door. Upon seeing Grand Princess Yi De, he bowed and chanted a Buddhist prayer, “Amitabha, Your Royal Highness Grand Princess, have you come here today to pay your wish?”

A smile appeared on the face of Grand Princess Yi De. “That’s right. My long-cherished wish of many years has been fulfilled, and today I am here to repay my wish. Thank you wait here for us, Master Yuanguang.”

“This humble monk congratulates Your Royal Highness Grand Princess.”

“Thank you, Master.”

Mu Yunyao followed Grand Princess Yi De to the blessing hall and offered incense before kneeling down to pay her respects.

Master Yuanguang recited the scripture to himself for a while before he finally stopped, “Your Royal Highness Grand Princess, please rise up.”

Mu Yunyao stepped forward to help Grand Princess Yi De up, but discovered that Master Yuanguang’s gaze was fixated on her. “Master, if you look at me like this, do you have to say for myself?”

“Amitabha. Young lady is clear-minded, intelligent and exquisite, so you don’t need me to say anything more. I just want to tell the girl that everything was going her way when I see a trace of melancholy in her eyes.”

Mu Yunyao’s eyes trembled, and she smiled as she looked back, “Forgive me for being presumptuous, Master. Master has cultivated for many years. Is it possible that you can do as you wish now?” In this world, there were many misgivings. If one did as he pleased, the world would have long been thrown into chaos. Regardless of whether he said this himself or was entrusted by others, she understood the truth, but it was difficult to achieve it after all.

Master Yuanguang was startled, but he immediately clasped his hands and bowed to Mu Yunyao, “This humble monk has overestimated himself. The sky isn’t bright today, there might be heavy snow, and the side room is ready. Your Royal Highness Grand Princess, please have a rest.”

“Thank you, Master.”

The Grand Princess Yi De’s side room was fixed, the courtyard where she had lived the last time. Mu Yunyao’s yard was arranged to be next door, and it was the same place Yue Wang had lived before.

Jin Lan and Jin Qiao simply cleaned up the room. Seeing Mu Yunyao sitting on a chair without making a sound, they couldn’t help but feel a little curious. “Miss, what’s the matter?”

“It’s nothing. You guys go ahead, clean and pack up. I’ll go out and take a walk.” There are always many people taking turns living in the side room of the temple, so this arrangement wasn’t rude. However, when Mu Yunyao looked at the bed, she felt uncomfortable, as long as she thought of Yue Wang sleeping on it. It seems that there is still a distinct smell on Yue Wang in the side room here.

The scenery of Baohua Temple was very gloomy in winter, without any beautiful scenery. As she aimlessly walked, she unknowingly arrived at the entrance of the temple. She saw a woman kneeling down at the foot of the long stairs, causing her to stop in her tracks.

After the woman finished bowing, she stood up to tidy up her dress. When she raised her head to look at Mu Yunyao, she couldn’t help but reveal a smile. “May I ask if this person is Miss Mu?”

Mu Yunyao smiled as she returned the greeting. “I’m Mu Yunyao. I wonder who Miss is....”

“It is indeed you. I have long heard that when I see a beautiful and pressing lady, it must be Miss Mu. Previously, I had doubts in my heart, but now that I have met the real person, I feel that the rumors are true. I had never seen you before, so I rushed over to greet you. I hope that Miss Mu will not take offense to this. My name is Xu Qi. I was living in Yanzhou before this. Today, I just returned to the Capital with my father.”

“Miss Xu....” Mu Yunyao thought carefully and then understood.

Prince Consort of the Grand Princess Yi De, Xu Yan, also has a younger brother named Xu Pe. He had two sons. The eldest son was named Xu Yuan and was now a Prefecture Magistrate in Hangzhou, while the second son was named Xu Fei. After Grand Princess Yi De’s daughter lost, she had no children, so she recognized him as an adopted son. This Miss Xu Qi was the eldest daughter of Xu Fei.

~ YOU CAN’T MESS WITH THE FOOD-PROTECTING YUE WANG ~ 

Mu Yunyao stood there for nearly an hour, watching as the house was completely demolished and turned into a pile of rubble.

Even though Yue Wang had helped her block the wind, she was still chilled to the bone after such a long time had passed, especially her feet, which were full of pain as if needles were pricking them.

“Eunuch Cheng had someone prepare some ginger soup in the front hall. Let’s goback quickly.”

“Yes.” Mu Yunyao turned her head and once again looked at the houses that had become ruins. She felt an unprecedented sense of relief in her heart.

Eunuch Cheng served a bowl of ginger soup in front of Mu Yunyao and then brought a bowl of sugar, “If Miss feels that the taste is heavy, then add some more sugar. Eating a little more sweet will make it less bitter.”

“Thank you, Eunuch Cheng.”

After Mu Yunyao finished her ginger soup, she didn’t stay any longer and left with Jin Lan and Jin Qiao.

Eunuch Cheng seemed puzzled as he watched the carriage drive off. “Wang Ye, why doesn’t Miss Mu like those houses?”

Yue Wang shook his head: “Since the houses have already been demolished, the reason doesn’t matter anymore. Didn’t Uncle Cheng want to dig the lotus pond? Let’s dig deeper at the place where the house was demolished. It would be great if we could find the spring.”

“Yes. Wang Ye, please be at ease. Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, your servant will also find a spring for you.”

In the carriage, Mu Yunyao leaned on the pillow, and her expression was inexplicably indifferent.

“Miss, what happened to you?”

Mu Yunyao shook her head and didn’t say anything, but the thoughts in her heart were churning unevenly. Previously, she didn’t know the relationship between her and Grand Princess Yi De. Thus, she only guessed that Jin Wang ordered someone to kill her in Yue Wang’s Palace because he wanted Yue Wang to carry the notoriety of stealing and murdering his brother’s concubine. But now that she knew her identity, she couldn’t help but think more.

The Su family had always been supporting Jin Wang from the shadows. Then, did he know about the relationship between her and Grand Princess Yi De when Jin Wang killed her?

Mu Yunyao raised a hand to rub between her eyebrows. She initially thought that after finding out her mother’s true identity, the matter would become simple, but now it seemed that there were still many things that were difficult to explain.

She and her mother were sold to the Zhang family in her previous life. Was it secretly manipulated by the Su family?

Had she successfully entered Jin Wang’s Palace through her own scheme, or had Jin Wang done it on purpose after knowing her true identity?

She had become Jin Wang’s concubine and had been killed in Yue Wang’s Palace. If Jin Wang didn’t know her true identity, it would only be throwing a stain on Yue Wang’s reputation. But if Jin Wang knew her true identity, he would definitely notify Grand Princess Yi De after her death.

Judging from the Grand Princess’s feelings for her mother, she would still lose her rationality when she saw the miserable state when she died. Even if she valued Yue Wang, she might even destroy Yue Wang to avenge her …

The truth was confusing, leaving her at a loss on what to do.

Jin Lan interrupted Mu Yunyao’s thoughts. “Miss, we’re home.”

Mu Yunyao opened her eyes. The deep look in her eyes instantly became clear and bright. No matter what it was, she was sure that this life was completely different from the previous one because she would not fall into the schemes of the Su family and Jin Wang again.

Soon enough, Yue Wang entered the Palace to tell the Emperor about giving the porridge during the New Year. When the Emperor heard that Grand Princess Yi De had also donated silver taels for support, he immediately nodded and agreed.

Jingling City Laba Festival Porridge had aroused a lot of discussion in the Capital before. Later, it was given back to the people in Jingling City, and the officials also basked in the glow. Now that they also had the opportunity to participate, the officials within the Capital were unwilling to miss out on it. When they found out that the Emperor and Grand Princess Yi De had both donated silver taels, they privately discussed how much it would be appropriate to give a donation.

There are many ways to donate silver taels. If you put up too much, you will feel accused of being corrupt and taking bribes. If you contribute too little, you look to be stingy and don’t support doing good deeds. Those with higher official positions are better. Those with lower official ranks spend their brains and inquire how much silver the upper official wants to contribute. The amount they contributed should not be too small, be despised by their colleagues, nor too much to provoke the officials.

Since it was Yue Wang who proposed to give porridge during New Year’s Day, the Emperor took the opportunity to hand it over to him to preside over the matter, causing Ling Wang and Jin Wang to rush out hurriedly from the Palace. Yu Wang, on the other hand, was so happy, so he waited for Yue Wang to leave the Palace before asking, “If Fourth Imperial Brother need help with, just ask me, I am bound to do it.”

“Thank you, Second Imperil Brother. If I need anything, I’ll definitely ask help.”

Yu Wang nodded and accompanied Yue Wang out. At the same time, he asked curiously: “I heard that Fourth Imperial Brother wants to repair the mansion?”

Yue Wang’s expression did not change. “Where did Second Imperial Brother hear that?”

“There are quite a few officials living around your residence. Many people were startled to hear the sound of house demolition in your residence. I also heard that Miss Mu seems to have gone to your residence to visit?” Yu Wang’s eyes were full of mockery, “Speaking of which, Fourth Imperial Brother, it should time for you to start a family. Take a look at Little Sister Huaiyang. She’s going to be married in the next year.”

“There’s no hurry.”

Yu Wang patted him on the shoulder. “You better be careful and hold her tight. Miss Mu’s identity is no longer the same as it was in the past. I heard that there are many people secretly inquiring about her.”

Not only did Mu Yunyao have to be regarded as a granddaughter by Grand Princess Yi De, but she also had access to Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo, the two main gates leading to her fortune. Furthermore, she has a beautiful face, elegant and beautiful demeanor, so it was hard to tell how many people had secretly thought of her.

Hearing this, Yue Wang furrowed his brows, his tone carrying an indescribable coldness. “Who are they?”

“Ah, what does anyone have to do with it?” Yu Wang didn’t understand what Yue Wang meant for a while, but after seeing his murderous look, he suddenly realized he was asking who was looking at Mu Yunyao. “Cough cough … Fourth Imperial Brother, don’t be impatient. They are just asking and inquiring. There is no specific action yet, so don’t worry.”

Yue Wang mounted his horse and cupped his hands as he bowed to Yu Wang. “Second Imperial Brother, take your time to look around. I have some matters to attend to do, so I’ll be leaving first.” Since Yu Wang was unwilling to share, he would send someone to investigate it.

Looking at Yue Wang, who left quickly, Yu Wang couldn’t help but touch his nose. He had just said those words casually a moment ago and never expected that Fourth Imperial Brother would actually be so serious. He hoped that the people who were scheming in the dark to restrain themselves. Otherwise, they will be targeted by Yue Wang and become the next Su family.

Why does he suddenly feel like he is a little unkind … It must be an illusion. He was just reminding his Fourth Imperial Brother out of goodwill. He didn’t do anything wrong! Yes, that’s it!

After Yue Wang returned to his residence, he told Yu Heng to investigate whether anyone had set their eyes on Mu Yunyao. Eunuch Cheng, who happened to be on the side, heard this and was so angry that his eyes were wide open, “Wang Ye, Miss Mu is so good-looking, has a gentle nature, has a broad vision, and knows how to earn silver. She is especially popular everywhere.”

Yue Wang’s expression became even more solemn. After telling Yu Heng and Eunuch Cheng to retreat, he took a wooden box out from a drawer. It was covered with blue fabric, on which were placed twelve unique Chinese Zodiac pearl hairpins.

~ TAKE IT DOWN IF IT’S NOT PLEASING TO YOUR EYE ~ 

Mu Yunyao had never paid much attention to appearance. After seeing the group of people from the Su family, who had appearances comparable to Heavenly Immortals, but they had hearts like scorpions and snakes, she did not have the slightest bit of care for Eunuch Cheng’s appearance.

“There is no need to be so courteous, Eunuch Cheng. I have long since heard Steward Qin mention you in New Year, but I have never had the chance to meet you. Today’s meeting can be considered as my wish.”

Seeing that Mu Yunyao’s eyes didn’t reveal the slightest bit of unusualness, Eunuch Cheng’s smile became even more sincere. “Miss, quickly go in. The weather is cold outside, your body is weak, please do not suffer any cold air.”

Mu Yunyao smiled as she nodded before turning around and returning to the hall.

After setting the charcoal pot on the table, Eunuch Cheng ordered someone to prepare some refreshments. “Wang Ye doesn’t usually pay attention to food, so the snacks are especially rough. I hope Miss Mu doesn’t mind.”

“The taste is pretty good. Thank you for your trouble, Eunuch Cheng.”

“Miss, you don’t need to say that. Please, eat this snack. This old servant will go down to warm the stove. In a while, Wang Ye will accompany Miss Mu to tour around this place. This mansion had not been renovated in many years, and in these few days, Wang Ye said that he would change the scenery of the mansion. He wanted us to learn from Jin Xiu Garden in Jiangnan. We also set up some fake mountains to plant some flowers and plants, but Wang Ye is not good at these things. If Miss Mu sees that there’s anything to be fixed, please don’t hesitate to give some pointers.”

Mu Yunyao looked at Yue Wang. He was drinking the cup of tea calmly as if he hadn’t heard Eunuch Cheng’s words. “Why haven’t I heard that Your Royal Highness is going to fix up the mansion?”

“Well, I just decided on it today.” Yue Wang’s tone did not sound guilty at all.

Mu Yunyao looked at the expressionless Yue Wang, then at the smiling Eunuch Cheng, whose face grew more frightening. She felt slightly helpless in her heart but at the same time felt an indescribable sweetness, “Then I’ll look around with Your Royal Highness Yue Wang Later.”

The smile on Eunuch Cheng’s face grew brighter and brighter as he scrunched up his face, “Alright, then this old servant shall not disturb Wang Ye and Miss Mu anymore.” There were still guards training in the martial arts practice ground in the backyard. He should hurry to drive those people back to their room to avoid disturbing the mood of Wang Ye and Miss Mu when they went out to visit the garden.

When Eunuch Cheng left, Mu Yunyao suddenly thought of Liu Nan, whom Yue Wang had mentioned before. “Is that Liu Nan still at Your Royal Highness’ estate?”

Yue Wang nodded his head: “Last time at Bao Hua Temple, you warned me to be careful of him. Therefore, I had people constantly watching his movements. I did find some things, but I am still unable to confirm it.”

Mu Yunyao’s fingertip slightly trembled, “Is this Liu Nan really a spy?”

“If nothing unexpected happens, he should be Jin Wang’s men.”

“Jin Wang … As expected, it’s really him....” Mu Yunyao’s expression turned cold. It took her a while before she managed to suppress the killing intent in her heart. “Your Royal Highness Yue Wang, please show me around.”

“Alright.” Yue Wang watched Mu Yunyao fasten her cloak and then accompanied her out of the room.

Yue Wang’s Palace was empty and cold. There were a few Chinese pine trees planted in the front yard. The dark green pine needles were standing on top of the branches. From afar, it looked surprisingly attractive.

After passing through the corridor in the front yard, they entered the martial arts practice ground.

There are horse hoof marks and traces of weapons on the ground. Weapons racks and wooden stakes were erected on one side of the martial arts practice ground, giving off a cold and hard taste everywhere.

Eunuch Cheng had just rushed the people in the martial arts area back to their room. When he turned around, he saw Mu Yunyao standing in the corridor and hurriedly walked over with a smile, “Does Miss Mu dislike this martial arts practice ground? Wang Ye also felt extremely annoying. Thus, he wanted to dig a lotus pond here, plant some lotus flowers, andand being able to wade across the lake on a summer day is would be great fun.”

Mu Yunyao smiled as she glanced at Yue Wang. “Your Royal Highness Yue Wang wishes to change this place into a lotus pond?” This person had previously invited her to ride a horse in the hunting grounds, but now he was changing it to a lotus pond?

“You can change it to what you like, and we could ride around the lotus pond.” Yue Wang’s expression was remarkably solemn, as though as long as Mu Yunyao spoke, he would immediately order them to start work.

Mu Yunyao smiled and raised her hand to point at a house. Her smile slowly faded as she asked, “What are those houses over there for?”

“There aren’t many people in the mansion. Thus, many houses aren’t even needed. There’s no one living there, and it’s usually used to store some stuff. What’s the matter?”

“I see that feng shui in that house aren’t good, so why don’t we tear it down?” That was the place where she had died miserably in her previous life. Even now, she still felt chilled to the core when she saw it.

“Alright, I also think that place’s Feng Shui is not good. Uncle Cheng, take some people to take it down.” Yue Wang nodded happily and gave a direct order to Eunuch Cheng.

“Yes, this house is idle and useless to begin with. It should have been demolished a long time ago. It would be great if you could dig a lotus pond. This old servant will go find people now.”

After Eunuch Cheng left, Mu Yunyao lowered her head and raised the corner of her lips, “Eunuch Cheng wholeheartedly wants to dig a lotus pond, but hasn’t thought of where to draw water from?” The location of Yue Wang’s Palace was very inconvenient to bring water here. This was also the reason why there are no ponds or watersheds in Yue Wang’s Palace.

It was clear that Yue Wang did not think of this point. After frowning and pondering for a moment, he said: “Let people dig deeper. Maybe we will be able to dig to the bottom of the spring.”

Mu Yunyao suddenly laughed. “You’re not talking about digging a lotus pond, but digging a well, right?”

“As long as you’re happy, you can do whatever you want.” Yue Wang looked at the smile on Mu Yunyao’s lips and raised the corners of his lips. He didn’t know why Mu Yunyao didn’t like those houses. But since she did mind and thought that it was not pleasing to the eye, he would help her destroy them. As long as she didn’t reveal that ice-cold and cold expression that she had just shown.

“Boom!” A sound rang out. Mu Yunyao turned her head to look and saw a cloud of dust rise up at the edge of the house she was pointing at.

A group of strong men carried a log. After chanting a slogan, they viciously slammed it against the wall, and a hole was created very quickly.
“Yunyao, this place is too noisy. Why don’t we go to the front courtyard?”

Mu Yunyao shook her head, “I want to see that place dismantled.”

“Alright.”

Rumbling sounds came continuously. Looking at the walls and pillars constantly collapsing, Mu Yunyao felt the barrier that tightly bound her heart gradually fall down. An unprecedented feeling of ease came from the bottom of her heart as if she had transited from the long cold winter to a harmonious spring day.

“If Your Royal Highness want to dig a well, just hit the place where the house collapsed.”

“Alright.” As Yue Wang watched the coldness around Mu Yunyao slowly dissipate, his heart also calmed down. “If I really find the spring, I’ll dig a pond there and plant a lotus flower there. What do you think?”

“Well, if the lotus blossoms bloom, I’ll definitely come and take a look.” Mu Yunyao looked at Yue Wang, and after hesitating for a moment, she said, “Your Royal Highness Yue Wang, aren’t you going to ask why do I look at that house not pleasing to the eye?”

Yue Wang shook his head: “I want to know, but I don’t think you want to say it. Compared to this answer, I don’t want to make things difficult for you any more.”

 
Mu Yunyao was stunned. The tolerance shown to her by Yue Wang made her very grateful. It took a while before she whispered softly, “Thank you....”

~ MEN ALSO WILLING TO LET THEIR BELOVED SEE A BETTER SELF OF THEMSELVES ~ 

In Yue Wang’s residence, Eunuch Cheng went back and forth a few times. After delivering the fragrant tea and snacks, he stood by the side and ground the ink, looking at Yue Wang’s expression with a hesitant expression.

“Uncle Cheng, if you have anything to say, just say it.”

“Your Royal Highness is truly wise. This servant indeed has some things that I want to say, but I don’t know if it’s appropriate for me to say them.”

“If Uncle Cheng feels that it’s inappropriate, then don’t talk about it.”

“As a servant, how could I possibly deceive Master? This servant better say it then. When did you invite Miss Mu here as a guest?”

Yue Wang paused for a moment, and the light in his eyes dimmed a little: “We’ll talk about it later.”

“Your Royal Highness, did you have an argument with Miss Mu? Should we get Hongyan to pass on the letter again?”

When the parrot in the birdcage outside the door heard Eunuch Cheng say its name, it couldn’t help but flap its wings and recite a poem. “Guan Jiu is on the River Continent. My fair lady and a gentleman is good...”

Yue Wang raised his head, and the gloominess in his eyes became even more apparent. “Let’s talk about it later.” These days, when he went to Ni Yun Fang, he saw that Mu Yunyao had prepared many gifts. Even Cao Yunnian’s son, Cao Zhiwen, had a new set of clothes, but he was the only one with nothing.

Seeing the look of Yue Wang’s expression, Eunuch Cheng was anxious and quickly gave a voice to persuade him. “Your Royal Highness, if an ordinary person raises a pot of flower, they have to water it regularly, loosen the soil, trim the branches and leaves on time, and even carefully fertilize the plant. They also have to be moved out to bask in the sun often. The flowers still have to be like this, not to mention humans. If people don’t take care of the flowers for a period of time, the branches and leaves will wither and yellow. Same with people, if people don’t meet for a period of time, their relationship might become distant...”

Yue Wang frowned. Just as he was about to say something, he heard a report from the door, “Your Royal Highness, Miss Mu has come ans has already entered the door.”

Yue Wang’s fingers pressed slightly, and the brush broke into pieces. He then stood up abruptly and walked towards the door. His dull eyes were filled with joy in the blink of an eye. His usual calm and composed look were nowhere to be seen.

Eunuch Cheng was stunned upon seeing the appearance of Yue Wang like this. He used to think that Yue Wang was a cold and steady man, but who would have thought that he would be like a kid after meeting Miss Mu. “Wang Ye, do you want to change into a new set of clothes? And hair, do you want to brush it again? Then for the crown, let’s change it to white jade, shall we?”

Yue Wang suddenly stopped and lowered his head to look at his black robes. He could not help but frown: “Uncle Cheng, please choose one for me.”

In this world, not only were women willing to dress up for the person they loved, but men were also willing to let their beloved see a better self of themselves.

Mu Yunyao followed Yu Heng into Yue Wang’s Palace. This was the first time, so she carefully looked up this place.

Yue Wang’s residence was very spacious, and because it was sparsely populated, it was especially capacious. This place was originally the residence of the Emperor’s Elder Brother, Qin Wang. After Qin Wang failed to compete for the throne, he was sentenced to guard the Imperial Mausoleum. After three years, he passed away, and the residence remained deserted. Later, Yue Wang was assigned to Western Guangdong. He should have his own mansion in the Capital. Thus, the Emperor simply repaired this place and gave it to him.

Qin Wang had once fought with the Emperor for the throne, and his methods were extremely harsh. Therefore, the Emperor was especially disgusted with him. Now that he had bestowed this mansion to Yue Wang, It is inevitable that people feel that the Emperor was dissatisfied with Yue Wang, which confirmed his unfavored reputation.

Yu Heng led Mu Yunyao to the main hall and had the servants serve tea before hurriedly retreating to the door to wait for Yue Wang to come.

Mu Yunyao took a sip of her tea. It was the Lotus Fragrance that she had asked someone to give to Yue Wang. It was just that the water used to brew the tea wasn’t quite good, and the method of making it wasn’t suitable either, which made this cup of tea lose a lot of colors.

Jin Lan originally wanted to help Mu Yunyao take off her cloak, but after feeling the temperature in the room, she gave up on that thought, “Miss, your servant will go to the carriage and bring the heater.”

Mu Yunyao shook her head, “There’s no need to go through all this trouble. It’s not that cold.”

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Yue Wang hurried over.

He had a white jade crown on his head and was wearing light blue robes. The collar and cuffs of his clothes were embroidered with cloud patterns. The light color set off his chilly appearance, making people’s hearts tremble slightly.

Mu Yunyao was stunned for a moment before regaining her senses. Usually, Yue Wang liked profound colored outfits. She had always thought that this person’s handsome appearance would be even more outstanding if he wore light-colored clothes. When she looked at it now, it was indeed breathtaking. “Greetings, Your Royal Highness Yue Wang.”

“Yunyao, I’ve made you wait.”

When Yue Wang arrived, Jin Lan and Jin Qiao left, leaving only Mu Yunyao and Yue Wang in the room.

The two of them were silent for a moment before Mu Yunyao took the lead and spoke first, “Your Royal Highness Yue Wang seems to be exceptionally different today.”

Joy grew in Yue Wang’s heart, and his eyes became gentler and softer: “Does Yunyao like to see me like this?”

Mu Yunyao’s ears turned slightly red, and she hurriedly changed the topic, “I’ve come here today to ask Your Royal Highness Yue Wang’ a favor.”

“What’s the matter?” When he saw Mu Yunyao’s expression, Yue Wang’s mood became even more joyous.

“I had a discussion with Grand Princess Yi De about giving porridge in the coming year. The Grand Princess was saying that she also wanted to donate some silver taels. I thought that if the Grand Princess were to intervene, the families of many officials would definitely be unable to sit still. Things would inevitably get out of hand, and it is not appropriate for Ni Yun Fang to take the lead. Therefore, I would like to ask Your Royal Highness Yue Wang to come to the Palace and report to the Emperor about this matter. I thought it would be better if the Emperor to send his Imperial Children to do this.”

“Yunyao, re you trying to give me credit?” Looking at Mu Yunyao, Yue Wang’s heart is full of warmth. He just thought she looked good everywhere, and no one could compare her.

“Your Royal Highness Yue Wang is overthinking it.” Mu Yunyao slightly tilted her head to look at the door and couldn’t help but rub her fingertips.

Yue Wang stood up and walked towards the door: “Yu Heng, bring two more charcoal pots over. The room is too cold.”

“Yes, Wang Ye.” Just as Yu Heng was going to find a charcoal pot, he saw Eunuch Cheng leading the servants over.

“Wang Ye, you rarely use charcoal pots, so the room is unavoidably colder. Miss Mu’s body is delicate and must be extremely unaccustomed. This old servant asked people to prepare charcoal pot. Do you think these are enough?”

When she heard this voice, Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but stand up and walk towards the door. Previously, she heard from Steward Qin that Eunuch Cheng had lost an eye in order to protect Yue Wang, and later on, his throat had been destroyed by medicine. Therefore, as long as he heard his voice, he must be Eunuch Cheng.

Eunuch Cheng raised his head and saw a young girl with a pink face like a lotus, looking delicate and graceful like gurgling water coming from the east. She was strikingly gorgeous, particularly her elegant breath, which made people want to hold it in her palm and take care of her carefully. The opposite of her breath, her pair eyes are exceptionally sharp. Even though she was smiling, there was also a hint of estrangement in the coldness.

“Greetings, Miss Mu.”

“There’s no need to be so polite, Eunuch Cheng.” Mu Yunyao took a look at Eunuch Cheng’s face. He had lost one of his eyes. Because he was old and his skin was loose, his eye sockets were wrinkled together. At a glance, he did look a little scary, but his remaining eye’s eyes were so clear, and his expression was especially righteous, making it evident that this person was not evil.

~ MISS MU, A LITTLE MONEY FAN ~ 

More than a month has passed unconsciously, and the matter of spreading the art of embroidery needle technique was drawing to a close. The commoners of the Capital were beginning to get busy for the new year.

Mu Yunyao accepted the last stitch of the embroidery and lightly rubbed her sore wrist as she sized up the embroidery before her with satisfaction.

Footsteps sounded from the door. Mu Yunyao turned her head and saw Su Qing supporting Grand Princess Yi De as they walked in. “Greetings, Grandmother.”

“I heard from your mother that you, little girl, have locked yourself in your room for many days now. Making embroidery is most harmful to your eyes. You are young now, but you will understand the suffering when you get older.” Grand Princess Yi De walked around the bead curtain. When she saw the embroidery laid beside Mu Yunyao, she suddenly stopped, and her eyes were filled with amazement. “This....”

The embroidery item in front of her was not large, but it was exceptionally breathtaking. The precious and solemn Guanyin statue is embroidered on the white embroidered fabric. She was dressed in white, her face was kind, with a holy and gentle breath. She sits on a lotus platform with willow branches in hand, making people feel calm and peaceful at a glance.

What made Grand Princess Yi De most pleasantly surprised was that the Guanyin statue seemed to have a hint of her shadow. The two children sitting quietly beside the Guanyin Lotus Pagoda looked very much like Su Qing and Mu Yunyao.

With just a glance, she already felt that she couldn’t put it down. When Mu Yunyao turned the embroidery over, there was actually a scripture behind it. It was the Kitigarbha Sutra that Mu Yunyao had helped Grand Princess Yi De copy before.

“Yao’er, you are really considerate. I really like this piece of embroidery very much. In a while, I will asked someone to made into a screen and set it up in my room later.”

Mu Yunyao blinked slightly. “But Grandmother, I want to give this embroidery to the Emperor.” She said she would send more gifts to the Emperor for the New Year, so she prepared several items.

“The Emperor receives an uncountable number of gifts every year. Especially in the past two years, your embroidery products have been exceptional. This year, a lot of people will definitely be giving out embroidery gifts. Thus, just give me this one.” Grand Princess Yi De looked at it carefully. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

Mu Yunyao thought for a moment and felt that it was indeed the case. What kind of good things the Emperor has never seen before, so he definitely didn’t lack these two pieces of embroidery. “Fine. I’ll get someone to bring them to you when Grandmother leaves later.”

“Alright. A few days ago, I had someone clean up the warehouse and found a lot of good stuff. There are a lot of jewelry for girls of your age. They’re already put in the front hall. You can go take a look later to see if there’s anything you like.”

“Grandmother has already given me a lot of accessories during this period of time. I can wear them in rotation for a whole year at a time. Perhaps, after a while, I will have emptied Grandmother’s warehouse.”

Grand Princess Yi De held Mu Yunyao’s hand, a smile on her face. “Grandmother’s things are yours. If you want to go to the storehouse at any time, I’ve collected quite a few good things over the years. It’s enough for you to move them for a few years.”

Mu Yunyao’s smile was brilliant as she leaned on Grand Princess Yi De. Her tone was full of joy, “Mother, listen, this was something Grandmother promised me. I’ll have Qu Mama bring me to the warehouse later to pick out those that looked incomparably precious.”

Grand Princess Yi De was amused by her. She stretched out her hand to embrace Mu Yunyao in her arms and lovingly stroked her hair. “I really didn’t expect that our Yao’er was actually also a little money fan. Alright, let’s Qu Mama take you to choose later.”

After chatting and joking with Grand Princess Yi De for quite a while, she couldn’t help but mention the matter of going to Baohua Temple.

“Yao’er, the Laba Porridge Festival just happened the same time with the day you teach the embroidery needle technique, so you weren’t able to make porridge on that day. I heard that you were having someone prepare it for you, saying that you wanted to set up a porridge tradition before the new year?”

“Yes, it is indeed so. By doing something to give back to the people, I can feel a bit more at ease.”

“Is there anything I can do for you?”

“Grandmther, you don’t need to worry. We’ve already arranged everything well, and it has been almost done. I had some experience with many things last year in Jingling City, but this time it isn’t on a much larger scale than before. After all, I’ve been short on silver recently.” The silver earned from the salt merchant can be used secretly, but she can’t be put on the surface, so the scale of this porridge will not be much large than before.

“I made a wish in the Baohua Temple before and said that if I can find my daughter again, I will do many good deeds for the people of the world. Now that you could count giving porridge as my share. I’ll donate 200,000 tael of silver as as a temporary commitment to the original promise and slowly return the favor in the future.”

“Grandmother, two hundred thousand taels of silver is too much. Moreover, if you were to donate that tael of silver, the families of the other officials would definitely follow the wind, so how can they leave some space for them.”

Mu Yunyao originally wanted to stop her. But when she heard the words’ return the favor, she nodded in agreement. Perhaps there really is retribution in this world. Otherwise, how cold the heavens allow her to reincarnate? Thus, she might as well do more good deeds. She was going through a lot of things. Many of her ideas are slowly changing, and the hostility in her heart has been sapped quite a bit.”

“Alright, how much silver do you need? You can discuss directly with Qu Mama when the time comes. All the things in gGrandmother’s hand will be left to you in the future, so you can use them however you want.” After finding Su Qing and Mu Yunyao, she wished that she could hold them in her palm. But after careful consideration, she still didn’t rashly interfere in Mu Yunyao’s matter.

First of all, Yunyao’s personality was very independent, had her own rules for speaking and doing things. If she interfered rashly, she would only interrupt her plans. Secondly, as she gets older, there will always be a day when she can not protect them. Rather than coddled their mother and daughter in the golden silk cage, it would be better to let them recklessly charge through. After all, she is still there now. Even if something happens, she could ensure that they would be safe and carefree.

Mu Yunyao thought for a moment before smiling at Grand Princess Yi De. “Grandmother, if you’re going to participate, then this matter can’t be handled by Ni Yun Fang. Why don’t you invite His Ryoal Highness Yue Wang over to the Imperial Palace?”

After some thought, Grand Princess Yi De understood the meaning of her words. “You want to hand this matter over to Yue Wang and then attribute the credit on the Emperor?”

“What does Grandmother think?”

“Well, that’s good. You are so thoughtful and considerate. You are much better than your Grandmother did when she was young.” Grand Princess Yi De looked at Mu Yunyao with a gratified gaze. “For so many years, the Emperor and I have helped and supported each other. There are inevitably suspicions and concessions involved. But in the end, our affection has taken up a large part. Everyone said that Imperial Family was heartless, but people had feelings, and the Imperial Family was no exception. The Emperor’s personality is somewhat similar to Yue Wang’s. If you treat him well, he won’t turn a blind eye. The Emperor has also grown older. These past few years, his personality has become softer and gentler, and he’s also willing to come into contact with some juniors. When Yao’er has nothing better to do, you often go to the Imperial Palace to take a look. It’s hard for him to live in high places, and it’s not easy for the Emperor these past few years.”

“Yes, Yunyao understands.”

~ DO I HAVE A FACE THAT’S EASY TO ROB? ~ 

The dissemination of the embroidery needle technique progressed remarkably smoothly. Mu Yunyao was in charge of the overall situation. There weren’t many things that could be brought to her, so she was at leisure.

Su Qing brought the white fungus soup over. Seeing Mu Yunyao’s meticulously matched embroidery, she couldn’t help but say, “Yao’er, drink some white fungus soup and rest for a while.”

Mu Yunyao had a restless personality. Seeing that the New Year was nearing, she began to prepare various kinds of New Year presents. She had to prepare many gifts this year, including the Grand Princess Yi De and the Emperor. In addition, her mother, adoptive father, adoptive mother, and adoptive brother … she’s afraid that she has to be busy until the New Year.

Su Qing looked at the fabric that Mu Yunyao had prepared and casually said, “This navy blue cloth is quite beautiful. If you were make it for your foster father’s clothes, it wouldn’t be enough, right?”

“It really can’t be used up. Does mother have any use for this piece of cloth?”

“What’s the use for me? I just feel that Yue Wang is busy running back and forth. A few days ago, I saw a piece of his sleeves being scratched, but he didn’t notice it. His Royal Highness Yue Wang was alone, and there was no one in the residence to take care of him. Even the servants were men as well, so it’s inevitable that there are omissions.”

Mu Yunyao lowered her eyes slightly, her emotions completely unreadable, “Your Royal Highness Yue Wang is a prince. What kind of clothes he wants is just a matter of one sentence, so there’s no need for us to worry. Mother has been making clothes these past few days. Even though your fingers have been well healed, and there is not much pain in winter, you still have to pay extra attention to it. Do not get tired.”

“Alright, Mother understands.” Seeing that Mu Yunyao was unwilling to bring up the matter about Yue Wang, Su Qing did not force herself. She could only slightly sigh in her heart. She has spent a lot of time interacting with him in the past few days. The more she knows about him, the more she feels that Yue Wang’s character and temperament are considered suitable for Yunyao. The key is that he is sincere to Yunyao. The problem is the different generations. Even if they were cousins, they still wouldn’t need to worry so much as they are now.

Su Qing watched Mu Yunyao finish eating the white fungus soup and then carefully advised her to rest a little before getting up and leaving.

Mu Yunyao put down the embroidery needles in her hand, got up, and walked to the cabinet. Inside was a fine piece of sky water blue cloth. She gently touched it and pursed her lips to close the cabinet’s door.

Sat back in her seat once again, Mu Yunyao picked up the embroidery needle in her hand, but after pausing for a long time, she was still unable to calm down. In the end, she had no choice but to take the fabric out from the cabinet and begin cutting it.

In the Capital, the number of people who had mastered embroidery needle technique became more and more. The number of embroidery products of different colors and grades is gradually increasing. Many commoners had just discovered that the price of embroidery had started to drop. Some merchants also have leased shops and began to buy embroidery products.

Many commoners couldn’t hold back their curiosity. They took out things that they had embroidered themselves and went to ask. The shops are priced according to the appearance of the embroidered products, which could make the commoners earn some silver.

As a result, the women’s interest in learning embroidery needle techniques became increasingly high, and the praises of Ni Yun Fang and Mu Yunyao also increased.

The Capital was bustling with activity, and even Western Guangdong was in an uproar of joy. Steward Qin had already arranged for someone to send a new batch of stir-fried ginger tea. He also ordered someone to set up a caravan and quietly transport the salt from Linjiang City to Western Guangdong.

Yuxi City, which was right next to Western Guangdong, gradually became more lively. After the change of City lord, the investigation of the caravans became more relaxed, and the number of people willing to go to Yuxi City to do business became more and more.

There was actually someone transported a large number of embroidery products through Yuxi City half a month later. When the soldiers guarding the city saw the owner of the merchant caravan, they couldn’t help but ask, “Lord Wang, you’re here again?”

Lord Wang nodded, dismounted his horse, and stuffed a purse in the past: “Thank you, Brother, for taking care of me. Our Wang family’s caravan has not been robbed these two times. It seems like my incense in the temple was still effective, thanks to Buddha’s blessing.”

“Was it fabric embroidery goods being transported this time?”

Lord Wang pulled out a piece of fabric from the carriage and said, “Brother, please don’t mind it. Take this fabric home and give it to your wife to make a dress.”

The soldier touched the fabric in his hand and felt it was as smooth as water, much better than his wife’s face. “This is too valuable....”

Although the conditions of the Yuxi City were much better than those of Western Guangdong, it is not possible to buy such high-quality silk embroidery with silver, let alone a soldier guarding the city gate. It was really too expensive.

“Brother, you are welcome. Thanks to your guidance, my carriage has a lot of embroidery during this period of time. You should keep this item with you. The next time I meet something good, I will bring you a few pieces of materials. Oh right, how is my rival, the Zhang family merchant? I heard that they are still selling tea?”

Speaking of the Zhang caravan, the city guard shook his head, “Don’t say anymore. It was robbed two days ago. The owner of the Zhang caravan is even worse than you. I heard that he even pawned his clothes and managed to stay overnight. The next day the whole caravan cried and left.”

“Hehe, let him be black hearted. Thank you for the information, Brother. Please help me keep an eye out for the Zhang caravan, and please don’t tell him about me selling the embroidery product.”

“Okay, don’t worry, Lord Wang.”

After some time, the Zhang family sent a batch of embroidery and quietly found a piece of fabric to the city guards, “Brother, thank you for communicating with me. Otherwise, all the silver would have been taken away by that evil merchant from the Wang family. I also transported a batch of embroidery. I think it won’t be robbed.”

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard the rumbling of hooves approaching. Soon after, a group of fearless and valiant bandits arrived on horseback. The leader of the bandits even raised his hand to greet the Zhang family caravan, then roar, and drove off at full speed with carriages.

The owner of the Zhang caravan looked at this scene in a daze, then sat down on the ground and started to wail.

The city guard touched the fabric in his hand and felt that it was not as good as the one that was given by Lord Wang last time, so he handed the cloth over to Lord Zhang: “Lord Zhang, this is really a trick of fortune. If not, you can also go into the temple and pay your respects next time. You can take this fabric to the city, sell them and take a rest at the inn in the city for the night.” If he did not give the fabric back, the Zhang family’s owner would probably pawn his clothes again.

“… Thank you brother, how can I be so unlucky? That evil merchant from the Wang family was not robbed. But when I got here, there was a problem. God, you opened your eyes too!”

Just as his voice fell, he suddenly heard a loud cracking sound, as if thunder had exploded in the sky. He was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, “God, please don’t blame me. I was just careless with my words.”

The soldier guarding the city looked a bit embarrassed. He stepped forward and helped Zhang’s family owner up, “It was a stall in the city that collapsed. It wasn’t because of the heavens’ lightning....” After all, it was winter and a sunny day, so how could there be thunder? This Zhang family owner was about to be driven crazy by these robbers.

This year, things were not calm again. The robbers had taken groups after groups of them, treating the caravan like leek and harvesting them one by one. Fortunately, the robbers did not disturb the people, so Yuxi City had turned a blind eye.

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 423

~ PRODIGAL MASTER ~ 

The Sixth Princess’s marriage date was set three months later, at the end of January. If it was not for the approaching Chinese New Year, the Imperial Court would really be too busy. The Emperor was so angry that he did not even want to wait three months, so he decided to marry her off to the Su family earlier. Out of sight and out of mind.

The Grand Princess Yi De originally wanted to hold the ceremony before the new year to recognize Mu Yunyao as her granddaughter. But there were only two months until the new year. In addition, Mu Yunyao wanted to preside over the dissemination of the embroidery needle technique. Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo also would have to settle their accounts book at the end of the year. There are too many things, and they can only be put off until the end of the year.

The Grand Princess Yi De was very sorry. Later, she thought that it would be good to have more time to prepare. If she had enough time, she could prepare more carefully.

Mu Yunyao began to spread the embroidery needle technique matter, and the common folk of the Capital did not have the time to spread the Su family’s rumors. All the women, who wanted to learn the embroidery needle technique, gathered at the academies especially established for them.

Mu Yunyao carefully assigned the embroidery ladies that had rushed over from Jingling City. She had already taught them all the embroidery needle techniques she knew. As for how much they learned, it would depend on their perception.

The time limit of the tenth day of Yue Wang’s confinement soon came to an end. He changed into a new set of clothes and went straight to Ni Yun Fang. In the past, in order to avoid arousing suspicion, he had deliberately concealed his presence and whereabouts. Now that Grand Princess Yi De had revealed that she recognized Mu Yunyao as her granddaughter, Yue Wang didn’t even try to hide anymore and swaggered around Ni Yun Fang.

“Yunyao, Imperial Father punished me with a salary of over half a year. I’m almost unable to open the pot in my residence, so I can only eat and drink with you.”

Mu Yunyao laughed, “Your Royal Highness Yue Wang sure knows how to joke around. You’re the Prince of the Dali Dynasty, yet you’re unable to open the pot after being punished for half a year. How poor are you exactly?”

Yue Wang was sitting upright on Mu Yunyao’s embroidered soft couch. His expression was slightly serious, but his tone was confident and righteous, “You said that you will help me earn a lot of silver taels. Although I earned quite a bit previously, I still have many people to raise, so I’ve almost used up all of them.”

Mu Yunyao turned around and said in surprise, “It’s only been a short time, and you’ve already spent over 10 million silver?” To be able to spend so much silver in such a short time was also a skill.

Yue Wang nodded his head: “In the past, Western Guangdong had a weak foundation. Even after eight years of development, they still did not improve much, and many arrangements were delayed. Now that there is silver tael, a lot of them are filled in. It was expressly difficult to earn silver, but spending it was quite easy. So now we’re running out of silver, and the expenses in residence are tense.”

Mu Yunyao smiled as she glanced at him. This person didn’t see much difficulty when earning silver, “I actually have a way to make silver here. I wonder if Your Royal Highness is interested?”

“Let’s talk about it.” Yue Wang looked at Mu Yunyao, his eyes filled with concentration.

Mu Yunyao sat behind the table and flipped through the account books with one hand while drawing and writing with the other. The sunlight shone on her sides and covered her body with a layer of warm yellow light, like a cat basking in the sun. It made people want to reach out and caress her with their hands. “Over the past few days, Ni Yun Fang has developed rapidly.

The learned process of the embroidery needle technique continued very quickly. More and more people began to understand the embroidery process. Although not everyone makes a living by embroidery, many people did it quite well. When Yue Wang saw those embroideries, doesn’t he have any interest in it?”

“Embroidery? That is to say,Ni Yun Fang can sell a set of clothes for a thousand taels of silver. As for the other shops and stores, they simply cannot make such a huge profit.”

Mu Yunyao put down her brush. “I heard that Western Guangdong is very close to Northern Xinjiang and Yunnan.”

Yue Wang’s brows twitched, and his eyes lit up: “Yunyao, you aren’t trying to sell the embroidery to Northern Xinjiang and Yunnan, are you?”

“Why not? Our tea leaves and silks are extremely popular with the people of Northern Xinjiang and Yunnan. As the number of people who could embroider increased in the Dali Dynasty, the price of embroidery cloth must be a bit cheaper. Rather than fighting over a small profit here, it’s better to keep our sights set on the future.”

Yue Wang thought about it carefully. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was a feasible idea. “This idea is not bad. Northern Xinjiang is a place where war horses flourish, while Yunnan’s cattle and sheep flock together. Thus, if Ni Yun Fang’s embroidery and Bu Xian Luo’s tea leaves used to exchange for these, it must be extremely worthwhile.”

“These are not the big ones. We still have a batch of salt in Linjiang City that has not been touched. We have a austere investigation of the salt tax now, so we don’t know how long we have to wait to sell it. If we find an opportunity to transport it to Western Guangdong and sell it to Northern Xinjiang and Yunnan, our profits might be double.”

Yue Wang stood up and paced back and forth in the room: “That’s right. Western Guangdong is suffering from the bitter cold, and very few people pay attention to it.It used to be bad. But now you can hide people’s eyes and ears with the help of it. Yunyao, you spread the embroidery needle technique all over the place. Is that why you’re doing this?”

“Your Royal Highness Yue Wang has overestimated me. I spread embroidery the needle technique just so I could gain a foothold and gain fame for myself. How could I possibly think about something so long-term?”

Perhaps others would have to take things one step at a time. But for Mu Yunyao, every step seemed to be meticulously planned out. Watching her come all the way from Jingling City to the Capital and forcing the Su family to fail time and time again, it was as if she was always in an invincible position.

“You think very thoroughly as if everything is under your control.”

Mu Yunyao slightly paused for a moment before slowly opening her mouth and smiling, “Foolish people always have their own considerations. I admit that I am not the most intelligent one, so I can only think more about every step in the future. I have thought of innumerable possibilities and calculated countless times. For many people, even if they make a mistake, they have the opportunity to start over again, so they can afford to make a mistake. But for me, if I’m careless, I will lose all of my matches, so I don’t have the qualifications to make myself fail.”

Along the way, if it weren’t for her meticulous planning, she and her mother would only be at the Su family’s mercy, just like in her previous life. If she lost, she wouldn’t even know how she died.

Looking at Mu Yunyao’s nonchalant expression, Yue Wang actually felt an unspeakable bitterness from within. “Yunyao, even though Imperial Aunt is unable officially acknowledge you as part of the Imperial Family, she has already said that she wants to recognize you as her granddaughter. With Imperial Aunt as her backer, you don’t have to be so careful. Even if you did make a mistake, Imperial Aunt would still help you through the difficulties, not to mention … You and me.”

Mu Yunyao’s heart trembled, and a sour and bitter feeling melted from her heart. “Then I’ll need Uncle to take good care of me in the future.”

“I don’t like that name.” He knew that Mu Yunyao’s way of calling him uncle was not only a reminder to her but also a reminder to himself. But emotions were the hardest things to explain clearly in this world. The moment you move your heart, even though you knew it was like a moth flying into a flame, you would not be able to contain the desire to welcome the instant warmth and light.

Mu Yunyao slightly withdrew her finger. After pausing for a moment, she picked up her brush and continued to check the account book, “Then, I’ll still call you Your Royal Highness Yue Wang from now on.”
