Chapter 8 (2/2) Part 2: A Question That Was More Than a Wound The rain outside had started again. Inside the quiet corridor, only the two of them remained. The bright hallway lights illuminated their faces. Mu Wan lowered her head slightly. The bouquet in her arms trembled softly, petals brushing against each other as the fragrance spread through the air. “Got hurt while filming.” Mu Wan lifted her head after speaking. Through the flowers, she looked at Liu Qianxiu. His dark eyes were still deep and calm, like an endless winter lake. Yet somehow, that calmness made her feel strangely at ease. Mu Wan bent her knee slightly. She was about to say that it was nothing. But before she could speak, the man asked: “Does it hurt?” Mu Wan’s bent knee slowly straightened. She looked at him. Those two simple words seemed to touch a place inside her that she had never noticed before. The empty space she had carried for years. The loneliness she had mistaken for normal. For some reason, it felt like...

Chapter 8 (1/2) Part 1: A Bouquet in the Rain and the Question of Pain The sky had only been clear for two days before the rain returned. The plum rain season of June and July brought endless drizzle. Fine threads of rain covered the entire sky in a hazy veil, and the heavy dark clouds made the world feel slightly suffocating. Splash. Mu Wan fell forward onto the ground. Mud scattered everywhere. She gritted her teeth, letting out a low hiss of pain, then quickly pushed herself back up. “Cut!” The director called out. The scene was finished. The costume Mu Wan wore was already impossible to recognize. It was soaked through, covered completely in muddy water. When she had fallen just now, the mud had splashed onto half of her face. Only a small portion of her delicate skin remained clean, revealing dark, bright eyes beneath damp strands of hair. After thanking the assistant director, Mu Wan finished her scenes for the day. Dragging her muddy costume behind her, she returned to the resti...

~ YUE WANG’S JEALOUSY ~ Mu Yunyao arrived at the study and saw that Ming Yin was kneeling on the ground. Her clothes hadn’t changed, her face was slightly pale, and she looked very miserable. She raised her head to look at the Yue Wang. “What is this for?” Yue Wang raised his head: “Ming Yin is not able to do things well, and she deserves to get punished.” “You can’t blame Ming Yin for this. If it weren’t for Li Munian’s sudden disturbance, today’s matter would have gone smoothly. Ming Yin, please get up.” Ming Yin turned her head and kowtowed to Mu Yunyao. Ming Yin turned her head and kowtowed to Mu Yunyao. “Young Miss, missing this opportunity not only disrupted your plans, but it also makes it difficult to know when I can resolve my old grudge from all these years. This servant’s heart really cannot bear it, so you should punish me.” “There’s still a way to salvage the situation, so you don’t have to be too hasty …” Yu Yi rushed over before she could finish speaking. “Fourth Master,...

~ LI YUANYI HAD A SUDDEN THOUGHT ~   Mu Yunyao smiled and said, “It’s already April, and it’s only a few days until the Dragon Boat Festival. The people in Jingling City have been taking great care of me, so I wanted to take advantage of the Dragon Boat Festival to thank the people in Jingling City.” Li Munian has an interest in his eyes. He knew about what had happened in Jingling City before, and he had also heard of the great name of Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo. The scene of the Laba porridge festival in Jingling City was grand, and it was even drawn by Grandmaster Li Chong and delivered to the Emperor through the hands of Grand Princess Yi de. If Mu Yunyao made any influential movement this time, he naturally had to participate. Once news of this spread to the Emperor’s ears, it could increase the number of chips he had on his side. “How does Miss Mu wish to thank the people in Jingling City?” There was still some time before the Dragon Boat Festival. If she were to ask now, ...

~ LI MUNIAN IS SUSPICIOUS ~ The next morning, Mu Yunyao saw Ming Yin and said, “This day is the most appropriate time to use the powder I gave you. Then, you secretly exchange the seals of the Governor of Liangjiang. Be careful when you do it, and might as well find a chance. Don’t make any mistakes. Otherwise, the entire Bu Xian Luo would be in a predicament.” “Yes, please be at ease Young Miss. I will definitely be more careful.”  “Right.” Mu Yunyao’s heart sank. The salt merchants wouldn’t spread the news that the salt exchange had gone wrong, but they would definitely think of ways to pave the way. They would suffer such a tremendous loss for nothing, and they won’t take a long time to find Li Yuanyi. Once Ming Yin missed today’s opportunity, it will ruin her plan. As a result, she had deliberately stayed in Jin Xiu Garden. Li Yuan came here early every morning, but he came a little later today. When he arrived, he was accompanied by Li Munian. When Mu Yunyao heard the news, he...

~WOUNDED YUE WANG ~  Hearing her reject him directly, Li Yuanyi became anxious, “Miss Ming Yin, please think it over carefully. Here, you have to serve others by bringing them tea, and you will always do the work of serving people. Don’t tell me that you are really willing?” Ming Yin’s expression was firm: “Lord Li doesn’t need to say much. I have already made up my mind. As long as I can stay in Bu Xian Luo, I will not leave. If I can’t continue to make tea here in the future, I only need to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to settle down, so I won’t dare to dream of anymore.” “Miss …” “My Lord, the tea won’t taste good when it’s cold.” “Why are you so stubborn? I can see that you are not completely unmoved. Could it be that you mind the scar on your arm?” Ming Yin’s expression changed as she subconsciously held onto her arm, and her face slightly pale. “As expected,” Li Yuanyi said with a pained expression, “This matter has already passed, and Tan Bawang had exe...

~ COMPLETELY HOOKED ~    Ming Yin suddenly came back to her senses after hearing the voice. She hurriedly smoothed out her sleeves. Because her movements were too fast, her body couldn’t help but sway. Her face became even paler. “Greetings, Lord Li.” After speaking, she looked at Yun Chun reproachfully, as if she was displeased that she had taken the initiative to bring him over. When Li Yuanyi heard Yun Chun’s message, he first rejected it and then asked Yu Chun brought him here on his own accord. He thought Ming Yin wanted to capture him, but upon seeing her expression, he realized that Yun Chun must have made the decision privately. Yun Chun lightly patted Ming Yin’s hand. “Little sister Ming Yin, you should have a good chat with Lord Li. Don’t worry too much about the rumors that are circulating, which will surely go away if it’s not valid. Ming Yin couldn’t help but lower her head and gently bite her lower lip. Her expression became increasingly fragile as she said, “Big...
