Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 384

~ THERE IS A PARROT CALLED A GOOSE ~ 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Yes, Miss.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Yes, Miss.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 383

~ PROSPEROUS PREPARATION ~ 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Yes, Miss.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 382

~ VIPER LADY’S NICKNAME ~ 

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

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

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

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

“Then what about Xun Wu buying those bastards?”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Lord Shen is in a tough spot.”

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

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

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

~ SHEN BINGHUAI REQUIRED ~ 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Alright.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Lord Shen is too courteous.”

Intense Love Chapter 112

~ VILLAGE GIRL ~

Zhou Shiyun looked back, but the woman had already entered the room. “I don’t know. Let’s go.”

Su Jinbei curled her lips and smiled, “Although both of you are brothers, I can see that your brother has a higher level of awareness.”

Zhou Shiyun glanced sideways at her, “What kind of awareness.”

“Women’s awareness.”

After saying that, Su Jinbei noticed the person beside her had a gloomy look. Su Jinbei coughed and hurriedly changed the topic, “Out of the blue, the Eldest Brother standing in front of me made me a little uncomfortable. Zhou Shiyun, Eldest Brother, is almost as tall as you...”

Zhou Shiyun said gracefully, “I’m back in my room. I’m very sleepy.”

Su Jinbei nodded her head and kept up with him.

Su Jinbei only woke up at noon the next day. When she woke up, she found it was earlier than the lunchtime stipulated by the Zhou family. She suddenly jumped out of bed.

“Where are my clothes?!”

“On the ground. How can you be so careless and throw your clothes straight away.”

Suddenly, a voice was in the room, and Su Jinbei was frightened. She looked around and saw a person sitting on the small sofa. “What are you doing here?”

Shao Suying said sullenly, “I also arrived last night, but you were already asleep when I arrived.”

“I was asking why you are in my room.”

“Wait for you to get up, but who knows you are so slow?” Shao Suying stood up, “But you can rest assured, Second Brother has announced not to let anyone wake you up.”

“...”

“Lunch is about to start if you don’t get up soon.”

After Su Jinbei finished washing up, she changed into the new clothes sent by his family last week.

The two of them walked towards the dining room, and Shao Suying grumbled as she walked, “What’s the matter with Eldest Brother? He pretended to be sick, and it was scary. It’s a good thing that I came all the way back. How old is he? Oh, my God.”

“Huh? You know that he faked his illness?”

“Oh.” Shao Suying laughed, “When I arrived yesterday, they didn’t let me go to see him in the room. Then, guess what, a woman came out from inside, and then Eldest Brother followed her. Somehow, Jiang Yan had already admitted that Eldest Brother was pretending to be sick and deceiving a woman. I tell you, Grandma and others don’t even know and think he is really sick. Don’t you think Eldest Brother is too childish?”

Su Jingbei chuckled lightly, “The hero is sad for the beauty. Afterward, where did the woman go?”

“She...”

“Shao Suying.”

“Here!” Shao Suying turned around and looked stiff when she saw the two behind her, “Ah...Eldest Brother, you are here? Ah, Second Brother is here too. Ha ha ha ha, what a coincidence.”

“It’s a coincidence.” Zhou Zhengxian walked over and looked at Shao Suying with a deep eye. “I heard that Aunt wants you to study abroad. Indeed, she is quite farsighted.”

Shao Suying blinked and sighed in her heart. She knew that she couldn’t speak ill of him behind her!

“There is no foresight. It’s also quite good in China. Don’t you think so, Second Brother?” Shao Suying kept blinking at Zhou Shiyun, hoping he could help her speak, but later found that Zhou Shixuan’s eyes were on Su Jinbei and didn’t look at her.

There was no way, so Shao Suying had to pull Su Jingbei’s sleeves, “Hey, Don’t you just say that you are hungry? Let’s go and have lunch.”

Su Jingbei, “Did I say...”

“Yes!”

After eating, Su Jinbei and Zhou Shiyun took Wutong for a walk.

Her mobile phone rang, so Su Jinbei put Wutong in Zhou Shiyun’s arms and looked at the screen. It was Xue Ying, “Hello, Ah Ying.”

“Jinbei, when did you go to the mountain area? What are you dressing up for? Ah, the village girl?”

Su Jinbei was stunned, “How do you know.”

“The whole network is full of photos of your village girl. How do I not know?”

Su Jinbei took a deep breath and said, “The whole network... the village girl’s photo!”

“Yes, the Internet also said whether you are back to your hometown, puff... I’m laughing to death. When was your home in the mountain area?”

“Wait, let me see first. I hang up!!”

Su Jingbei hung up the phone with a look of horror. The village girl’s photo is a stain for an artist like her, who must appear in the best state in public!

Zhou Shiyun glanced at her suspiciously, “What’s wrong with you.”

“Zhou Shiyun...Didn’t you say that the technology is backward there? Who’s taking pictures of me? And posting them on the Internet!” She would never change her clothes if she knew it would be like this.

Zhou Shiyun, “...”

Su Jinbei opened her Weibo account with trembling hands. Sure enough, she went on the hot search again.

#Su Jinbei from the village#

It doesn’t matter who sent the photo first. Su Jinbei looked at Weibo and watched the fans working hard to help her promote the village girl photos, and she felt like she was dying.

She doesn’t want to be playful if she had known it earlier. She must take out Liu Tingting’s best clothes and wear them. Now, she is wholly ruined.

“Which bastard...” Su Jinbei sobbed and threw herself on Zhou Shiyun and...Wu Tong, yes, it was really crying. Su Jinbei, who hadn’t done it several times a year, was ready to burst into tears.

Zhou Shiyun slightly twitched at the corners of his mouth and looked at the mobile phone in her hand.

In the photo, Su Jinbei’s hairstyle and clothes are shabby and rustic. Her movements ... well, her posture of sitting directly on the stone is a bit inelegant, a thousand miles away from the image she usually gives to the public.

Zhou Shiyun’s eyes gradually smiled, “It’s okay. It’s not ugly.”

“Really?”

Zhou Shiyun nodded sincerely.

Su Jinbei wiped her tears and slammed the phone in front of Wutong’s eyes, “If I’m a beauty, let out one shout, but ten shouts if I’m ugly.”

Wutong, “Meow?”

Su Jinbei deeply breathed, “I believe you two, just this once!”

Incurable Chapter 35 Part 2

Warning! Mature scenes ahead, read at your own pleasure risk ~

The weather is still muggy. Although the supermarket is not far away, they feel a little uncomfortable when they come back. So, when they just got home, Mu Wan went to take a shower first. After washing the ingredients, it was Liu Qianxiu’s turn to shower.

The air conditioner was turned on in the living room, and the cold wind blew. Mu Wan sat cross-legged on the sofa, looked out at the dark night outside the window, listened to the sound of water hitting the ground in the bathroom, and her consciousness gradually drifted away.

Mu Wan’s body tightened as soon as the water flow in the bathroom stopped.

The water stopped for a while before the bathroom door opened. Mu Wan’s eyes moved slightly, and she turned to look over. Liu Qianxiu stood at the door with his hair half-dry. He was wearing long trousers, but he was not wearing a top, revealing the smooth muscles of his upper body.

He looked back at Mu Wan while slowly putting on his long shirt. When he noticed Mu Wan’s gaze was going down, he calmly put on his long shirt.

With the air conditioner turned on, the temperature in the living room dropped, but Mu Wan felt slightly dry.

Lin Wei said that all the males were half-beasts.

Then what happened to the man in front of her? Even Taoist priests, when they showered, there was no reason to put on clothes. Mu Wan opened her red lips slightly, feeling that she had always been somewhat affected.

With the heat on her body, she stood up and approached him.

Mu Wan has just taken a bath, her skin is soft and smooth, and she has a moisturizing fragrance. She is like a little cheetah with firm and rebellious eyes. Her eyes are covered with peach blossom. She raises her head and is about to kiss him on tiptoe.

However, Liu Qianxiu put his arms around her shoulders, and his eyes were deep, “Are you still want to eat?”

Mu Wan seemed to have forgotten about her face, shook her head, and asked, “Why don’t you eat me first?”

“I’m afraid that you would lose your strength in the end.” For the first time, he said such a thing as she wanted.

Mu Wan’s body softened into a pool, clinging to him like a water snake, and he hummed, “I have great strength.”

Looking down at her momentarily, Liu Qianxiu touched her abdomen. Mu Wan’s body trembled, so she closed her eyes. Liu Qianxiu pinched her stomach and said, “Eat first. Otherwise, it will not be good for your stomach.”

A doctor is so troublesome.

Mu Wan’s spirit was full of energy, faded, and exhausted.

Liu Qianxiu went to the kitchen and cooked the vegetables bought from the supermarket. After Mu Wan had eaten, he received a call from Li Nan. With a frown, Mu Wan took the phone, fearing that something was wrong with the drama she had just taken, and went to the balcony in the bedroom to pick it up.

“Hello, my Lord. Us there something wrong with the drama “Thousand of Snow”?”

Li Nan didn’t expect her to say such a sentence at first, but thinking about her drama this week, she did have such concerns. Li Nan laughed and denied, “No, I’m calling to ask if there are any drama you want to pick up recently, so the company can talk about them.”

Since joining the company, Mu Wan has never been treated like this. On the one hand, she doesn’t qualify, and on the other hand, she has no requirements for the role as long as she can act.

In the past two weeks, her dramas have been deleted one after another. The company has also taken it seriously and is willing to take the initiative to talk about it. Mu Wan hasn’t made any schedules for next week. After listening to Li Nan’s words, she didn’t go up the ladder, so she just said, “Just look at the arrangement of the company.”

When she said this, Li Nan seemed a little reluctant, so he said seriously, “Although you are just a supporting role, you must have your own path to follow. You just got too messy in the previous drama. You have been removed from the scene, but you do not know about it.”

Li Nan apparently said it was for the benefit of the company. But in fact, he thought about it carefully and also took care of her ideas. This is the best for both of them. Mu Wan didn’t feel embarrassed and talked about a few dramas she originally intended to audition for.

“Okay, we’ll talk about it tomorrow.” Li Nan said.

Mu Wan smiled and said, “Thank you, sir.”

“I’m just performing the duties of a broker.” Li Nan said lightly. After speaking, he seemed to be reviewing himself, saying, “I have a lot of artists under me, and it is inevitable that there are some situations that I can’t take care of, so don’t take it to heart. In fact, you can play some leading rolesn your conditions.”

The first half of the conversation was fairly normal, but the last paragraph puzzled Mu Wan. Mu Wan didn’t understand and asked, “What conditions?”

Li Nan hung up without saying anything.

She had been on the phone for a quarter of an hour. Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Mu Wan still had doubts, but she didn’t think much.

The light in the bedroom was not turned on. However, the light in the living room was sprinkled on the door and reflected on the window. The figure on the window was clear, making Mu Wan’s fingers gradually tighten when Liu Qianxiu came over.

He leaned against her. His body was faintly cold as if he had just showered. Mu Wan’s shoulders drooped slightly, feeling Liu Qianxiu’s closeness, and said, “You said that it is not good for my stomach if I don’t eat dinner. But you can’t take a shower right after you eat dinner....”

Mu Wan’s voice stopped. Liu Qianxiu’s kiss fell on her earlobe. Her breath was gushing with a dangerous scent, Mu Wan’s eyes opened slightly, and her heart pounded.

“I have nothing to do with it.” Liu Qianxiu said.

After he finished speaking, Mu Wan was picked up and put on the bed before she could answer.

It was Mu Wan’s first time, and it was very painful. Liu Qianxiu’s size made her unable to bear it, but Liu Qianxiu calmly waited for her to adapt before he completely invaded.

Mu Wan is beginning to enjoy herself.

After a few times, Mu Wan followed up with no movement, and her bones fell apart. She was softly surrounded by Liu Qianxiu’s arms, covered with heavy eyelids, and her voice was hoarse.

“Are you sure this is your first time?”

“Okay.”

Like an unconvinced cat, she snorted in her nose and muttered, “A doctor really… knows everything.”

A night without a dream.

It rained heavily last night and stopped early in the morning, but the sky was still grey. Liu Qianxiu woke up just after six o’clock. Mu Wan exhausted her strength last night and still slept heavily.

After getting dressed, Liu Qianxiu got up from the bed and went to the living room.

Mu Wan’s living room is not furnished with much furniture but has sofas and marble tables. But they have been deserted for a long time and are uncommon. Liu Qianxiu took a look, then turned around and went to the bathroom.

After washing his body, Liu Qianxiu put on his clothes and came out. His slender fingers were placed next to the untied shirt buttons when his mobile phone vibrated. He looked at his screen and heard a meow from the living room window. Liu Qianxiu got up, walked to the bed window, and answered the phone.

The phone call was from Liu Qingyuan. A few days ago, Liu Qianxiu suddenly arranged for the finance department to invest in a TV series. The Liu family is engaged in the antique auction business and has nothing to do with the entertainment industry. Moreover, the drama he arranged also squeezed the investment of Shen’s Entertainment.

That’s not all. Early this morning, the finance department sent a message that Liu Qianxiu had arranged to invest in several other productions. There are movies, TV dramas, and even unknown web dramas…

This kind of unplanned investment arrangement Liu Qianxiu did not discuss with him and his father during the whole process. In fact, however, the two of them are the ultimate leaders of the Liu family.

This behavior damaged the Liu family and their interest, and they despised them.

Liu Qingyuan suppressed his anger and first took the Liu family’s board of directors as a shield. After that, he said in a bad tone. “Father and I have managed the Liu family for so many years until now. Don’t you care about the Liu family? Then why did you....?”

“I just don’t want to manage it.” Liu Qianxiu interrupted him, “It’s not that I can’t manage it.”

He pulled the tight waist and abdominal muscles lined with his arms on the windowsill. Liu Qianxiu’s voice was low, and his tone was light, “I am the head of the Liu family, and everything in the Liu family is mine. What I want is not enough for you to criticize.”
The author has something to say:
Liu Daochang: Tonight is not only my first time but also my second, third, and fourth time…
Mu Wan: Stop talking.

Incurable Chapter 35 Part 1

Liu Qianxiu returned with Mu Wan’s suitcase, which Mu Wan took it back to her house. Her house is messy even though she’s only been living for a day. It was not the first time that Liu Qianxiu came here, but it was the first time that Mu Wan felt a little embarrassed.

After putting things down, Liu Qianxiu glanced at the clock on the wall, rolled up his cuffs, and asked Mu Wan, “Have you had dinner yet?”

The living room had a bit of heat, and Mu Wan’s agitation had not completely faded away. After she returned to her senses, she looked at the thin and tall figure of Liu Qianxiu, shook her head, and said, “Not yet.”

Liu Qianxiu got up and went to the kitchen. Mu Wan usually doesn’t cook at home, especially when it’s hot in summer. Mother Wu made all the ingredients she bought in the morning, so there was nothing in the kitchen.

Coming out of the kitchen, Liu Qianxiu raised his eyes and said to Mu Wan, “Let’s go to the supermarket.”

Mu Wan knew that Liu Qianxiu would buy ingredients at the supermarket. However, looking at him, she couldn’t help but feel fascination.

“Well, the supermarket is not far away. Let’s go walk.” Mu Wan’s face blushed as she retracted her mind. In the past, Liu Qianxiu held the door open and walked out. But now, she held Liu Qianxiu’s hand.

Liu Qianxiu’s palm was dry and cool. When she reached out, she clasped his fingers and locked them firmly.

The two of them went downstairs one after another. The empty stairs echoed with their footsteps, making Mu Wan’s heart complete. Two wild cats sprang out of the corridor from the tree shade in the community, and Mu Wan suddenly thought of her cats.

“Have you brought Zhou Yi and the others back to home?” Mu Wan stretched out her hand and beckoned the wild cat. However, the wild cats did not stick to people, so they ignored her and rushed into the bushes again.

“No.” Liu Qianxiu said calmly, “I am pick you up first.”

Mu Wan tilted her head to look at him, Liu Qianxiu turned his eyes back to meet her gaze, and Mu Wan’s heart moved slightly. She smiled, and her eyes curled, “Of course, because I am also a cat.”

After speaking, she remembered that she was alone and had no relatives, then she added, “I am a wild cat.”

“No, it’s not.” Liu Qianxiu denied it.

Mu Wan looked at him with a slight frown.

Liu Qianxiu’s eyes were deep, his tone was soft, and he said, “You are my cat.”

Her heart beat faster. Taciturn people who rarely speak usually make people feel more touched when they say words of love. Mu Wan’s cheeks turned red, and her earlobes also turned red. Eventually, she reached to Liu Qianxiu’s ear and said something softly.

“Meow~”

Liu Qianxiu’s expression paused slightly. When he looked at her sideways, Mu Wan had already retracted her body. They had left the alley and arrived at the community’s gate, which was full of people. In a short time, the softness and sweetness were wrapped.

Mu Wan pretended nothing had happened and walked forward with a grin, but she obviously felt Liu Qianxiu’s grip on her hand getting stronger and hotter.

As night falls, the moon and stars disappear from the sky, the air is filled with sweetness, and the dark clouds look like soft hemp black.

Although the houses in Jiayuan Community are old, the nearby infrastructure is very reliable. We saw a large supermarket chain just after passing the community’s intersection.

After six o’clock, there are not too many people in the supermarket. Mu Wan followed Liu Qianxiu to the vegetable area and ordered as usual. After Liu Qianxiu chose the ingredients, the two went to the cashier to check out.

The cashier is waiting in line. Liu Qianxiu pushed the shopping cart, and Mu Wan followed behind. Two or three people were in front of them, but Mu Wan’s eyes fell naturally on the small shelf next to the cashier.

There are small boxes of goods on the small shelves. It square boxes with strawberry flavor, mint flavor, etc... The sizes are also different, some are normal, and some are abnormal...

Because the brand of the goods is so popular, although Mu Wan has never used it, she still knows it. She kept her gaze on it, her eyes turning as if she was choosing it, but she also seemed hesitant.

She has to buy this. She went to the supermarket this time, mainly because she wanted to buy this.

Mu Wan’s heart was pounding. Behind her, a pair of girls were discussing. Later, they walked to the shelf and asked for two boxes of chocolates. They naturally saw Liu Qianxiu standing next to the chocolate box when talking about chocolate.

“This man is so tall and has a good temperament. I don’t know how he looks?”

“Men are not ugly as long as they are tall enough. Isn’t he looked so fashionable now?”

“It would be great if he turned around, so we could take a look.”

“Look at what? Are you going after someone who’s handsome? Humph, such a man must have a girlfriend.”

“That’s not necessarily. Maybe it’s a fish that slipped through the net? Let’s add a WeChat first.”

Their voice was neither loud nor small. Liu Qianxiu could not hear it, but Mu Wan could hear it. She turned around and was about to speak, but the two girls behind her looked up at her back with astonishing eyes.

“Which one do you want?” Liu Qianxiu asked Mu Wan.

“Huh?” Mu Wan looked toward the shelf and thought that Liu Qianxiu was asking about chocolate, so she replied, “I want matcha.”

Liu Qianxiu fixed his eyebrows and lowered his eyes. He said patiently and earnestly, “There is not any.”

Her sight was taken back from the chocolate. Mu Wan raised her eyes to Liu Qianxiu’s eyes and reacted. When he asked, Liu Qianxiu’s expression was calm, and his face didn’t change, but Mu Wan’s face became hot.

Mu Wan strengthened her mind and looked up at the shelf. Finally, her eyes fell on a box of red goods. She pointed and said to Liu Qianxiu, “Strawberry.”

Turning his eyes to the shelf, Liu Qianxiu picked up the things and put them in the shopping cart. The customer in front of them had finished checking out, so Liu Qianxiu took Mu Wan’s hand and pushed the shopping cart forward to check out.

The two girls in the back did not talk anymore.

After shopping in the supermarket, Liu Qianxiu crossed the street and headed home with the ingredients in one hand and Mu Wan in the other. When they entered the supermarket, the sky was still dimly lit, but it was completely dark now.

The street lights were lit up in rows. Mu Wan was walking on the sidewalk, still a bit shorter than Liu Qianxiu, who was holding her by his side. The scene was a bit cozy, which made Mu Wan recall the warm picture in her memory.

“When I was a child, my mother came to pick me up when my tutoring class was over, and she led me to walk like this.” Mu Wan said, “I am also shorter than my mother. That time, I also think that I will grow up and be taller than my mother. Then, I took her by the hand and led her. But she died before I became taller than her.”

Her mother died when she graduated from primary school. She was only twelve then, but all her expectations of the world had been extinguished. But now it’s different. With Liu Qianxiu, her world lights up again.

Liu Qianxiu walked with her and led her along. His fingers were long and powerful. Even if she couldn’t maintain her balance and the whole person fell, he could lift her up completely.

Since the two were together, they never talked about their parents and family. After Mu Wan finished speaking, she tilted her head, looked at Liu Qianxiu, and asked, “Where are your parents?”

“Passed away.” Liu Qianxiu said calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Wan’s expression changed slightly, her feet slipped, and the whole person staggered. Liu Qianxiu turned around and let her fall completely into his arms.

Perhaps because Mu Wan had just fallen and been frightened, her heart beating very fast when she looked up at him. The shadows of the two of them entangled together on the ground, tall and slender.

Liu Qianxiu hugged her. Her eyes were a little confused after asking the wrong question. With slight movements, Liu Qianxiu lowered his head and kissed her lips.

As soon as they kissed, the light in her eyes instantly softened like a flowing river of light.

“None of us have the closest relatives by blood.” She smiled, and her face turned red again, “But that alright. I can give you a baby.”

”After speaking, Mu Wan lightly sighed and buried her face in Liu Qianxiu’s arms. There is a faint sandalwood scent in his arms, which is cool and refreshing.

When she was annoyed that she was getting more shameless, Liu Qianxiu printed a kiss on her head, and she heard him chuckle and say a word in a deep voice.

“Okay.”

Incurable Chapter 34 Part 2

Mother Wu went back to cook in the kitchen. Mu Wan smiled and was about to take a shower. As she just walked to the living room, she heard her mobile phone ringing in the bedroom. She thought it was Liu Qianxiu and hurried to get her mobile phone. But instead, it was Li Nan’s name shown on the screen, and Mu Wan pressed to answer his call.

“Hello, My lord.”

“At four o’clock in the afternoon, you go to room number 1306 in Runze Building for audition.”

The company did not give up on her. Even now, they are still looking for audition opportunities. Mu Wan stood at the bedroom door, looking at the gloomy sky outside. She was a little powerless.

She certainly has no problem with the audition getting better results. But after she succeeds in the audition, she will most likely be brushed down. Before the grievances between her and Mu Qing are gone, she won’t have any drama lately.

“My lord...” Mu Wan was going to explain to Li Nan.

As soon as she finished explaining, Li Nan laughed and said to her, “It’s the role of the Empress Dowager in Thousands of Snow. Didn’t you want to play that role at the beginning? There’s no need to worry about the audition. Just let the director see you act, because the contract has already been sent to me.”

After Li Nan finished speaking, there was no movement on the other end of the phone for a long time. Then, he called out, “Mu Wan?”

“I got it.” Mu Wan regained consciousness and replied.

“All right, make good preparations. The filming of this drama will start next week, and the cast is well set. After it finished, you don’t have to worry about not being able to work.” Li Nan finished speaking and hung up the phone.

Li Nan’s phone call suddenly became clear at the end of her career.

Clearly, Mu Qing did not plan for this to happen. If it were Mu Qing, she would never be allowed to play such a good role.

The ground was cold as she stepped on the marble floor. Mu Wan didn’t think about it anymore. She took out her mobile phone to call Liu Qianxiu, and her excited voice was transmitted to the quiet Taoist temple through the receiver.

“Liu Qianxiu, I got the role of the Empress Dowager!”

The hand holding the brush paused slightly, and the ink fragrance mixed with sandalwood spread in the main hall. Liu Qianxiu put down the brush, and a faint smile appeared on his light eyes and eyebrows.

“Hmm.”

“Can you come back quickly today? If you are in front of me now, I can hold you, kiss you, and tell you this happy thing.”

Her voice went low again.

“Okay.” Liu Qianxiu agreed.

Mu Wan was happy again, and after chatting about something else, she was called to have breakfast by Mother Wu and then hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, he picked up the brush again. On his opposite, Qing Chan is holding the brush and practicing writing on the white paper. There was some ink on his face, and his white porcelain cheek was stained with tiny patches of black, like a small cat.

“Is Sister Mu Wan called?” Holding the brush in his little hand, Qing Chan asked while looking at the corner of Liu Qianxiu’s slightly hooked lips.

Liu Qianxiu raised his eyes, his expression returned calm, and he faintly replied, “Yes.”

“Why does she like to cling to you even when happy?” The little boy didn’t understand it and thought it was a mystery. After the doubt, he lowered his head and continued to write.

As he looked down at the words written by Qing Chan, Liu Qianxiu asked in a deep voice, “Didn’t Master say when he would be back?”

“Junior Brother Qianxiu, do you want to leave?” Qing Chan raised his head and asked, with some incredible look in his bright eyes, “You were reluctant to go before. You said there is the Tao in your heart here.”

The Tao in his heart is here, but the person in his heart is not.

After Mu Wan received the call from Li Nan, she read Thousands of Snow’s novels again at home. At three in the afternoon, she took a taxi to Runze Building.

She had just arrived in the audition room, and the director sitting in the middle looked up and saw her. Mu Wan smiled, and the director also smiled at her and said, “We met yesterday.”

“Yes, Director Li.” Mu Wan said with a smile.

Several people in the audition room saw that Director Li was satisfied with Mu Wan’s performance. When Director Li said, “Let’s get started.”, Mu Wan picked a scene and began to act.

Before she graduated, she hadn’t signed with the company. When she wanted to earn money to eat, she tried many times to audition that time. Mu Wan’s acting ability was excellent from the start. Even if she only plays a supporting role, she can act well.

After the audition of this scene, Director Li’s face became more smiling. In this way, Mu Wan’s role has been decided.

Although the role of Empress Dowager in “Thousand of Snow” is unimportant, it is difficult to delete the play because of its involvement in the main lines. After being confirmed to be in the drama, Mu Wan went to the company and signed a contract with Li Nan.

After doing this, Mu Wan was relieved and happy and took a taxi home.

On the way home, Mu Wan called Liu Qianxiu again. However, Liu Qianxiu only said that his Master hadn’t returned to the temple yet, so he estimated he would not be home tonight.

Originally she was in a happy mood, but she suddenly felt covered with a layer of the veil. Then Mu Wan hung up the phone while looking at the setting sun in the west.

When she arrived at Jiayuan Community, it was already six o’clock in the afternoon. The sun had not yet set, and the sky had just cast a faint shadow. The snack bars in front of the community’s gate were opened as it approached the time to get off work and dinner.

After calculating carefully, Mu Wan realizes that since her kittens were sent to Liu Qianxiu’s house, she hasn’t eaten the snack bars outside for a long time.

In the morning, Mother Wu only made enough food for her lunch. Now, she was hungry after being busy working all afternoon. Mu Wan picked a few stalls with heavy oil and salt. However, she felt that the sensation was completely gone.

Because she was enlightened by Liu Qianxiu, Mu Wan eventually bought nothing and went home.

Today, it rained again. The corners of the floor tiles in the community tilted upwards; if anyone stepped on them, they would explode. Mu Wan was familiar with this road, walking along the wall, out of the alley, and towards the building where she lived.

The old residential building stood tall, blocking the setting sun completely. The air filled with the smell of soil and leaves and the thick smell of flaming smoke.

As Mu Wan approached her building, a chill burst into her eyes, instantly dissipating the smoke and flames.

Mu Wan stood where she was and was stunned.

Liu Qiaxiu took off his Taoist robes. He dressed in shirts and trousers made of cotton and linen. He stood tall, but he looked delicate and lonely. He was looking at the position on the third floor, and after hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned his head and looked over.

When his light eyebrows saw Mu Wan standing there, it seemed an ink dripped into the water and became thick and colorful.

Mu Wan’s heart paused slightly and then beat violently. She returned to her senses, and her beautiful eyes lit up. She happily ran to Liu Qianxiu’s side and looked up at him.

“Liu Qianxiu, you are back.” She brightly smiled as if the clouds blocking the sun had been wiped off and revealing all the light.

“Yeah.” Turning around, Liu Qianxiu looked down at her and replied lightly.

“Didn’t you say that your master hasn’t returned yet...” Mu Wan was puzzled, but before she finished speaking, her eyes lit up again, and she said, “Are you going to surprise me?”

Before she finished speaking, her face was held by Liu Qianxiu’s hands, and her jaw was slightly raised. Mu Wan’s heartbeat was slightly lifted when Liu Qianxiu’s kiss fell.

Her lips were covered with Liu Qianxiu’s kisses, soft and numb. Mu Wan’s eyes gradually widened, and her eyelashes trembled slightly. She seemed to have buried all her thoughts in the kiss. In a moment, Mu Wan closed his eyes and hugged his shoulders.

Her heart was pounding by his kiss. When Li Qianxiu moved, the setting sun shone through the camphor leaves in front of the building into her hazy eyes, and the fine light flashed. Mu Wan looked at Liu Qianxiu, slightly trembling and panting as she breathed.

“This is a surprise.” Li Qianxiu’s lips were drawn slightly, and his voice was deep.

Mu Wan’s body was a little weak. She held Liu Qianxiu, and her fingertips were slightly hot.

“Liu Qianxiu, will you stay at my house today?”

Liu Qianxiu looked down at her.

The blood seemed to have rushed all over her face. Her cheeks were hot as Mu Wan said, “Oh.”. Her small tongue licked her rosy lips, dropped her head, raised her head, and said, “My house... My bed is quite soft.”

The breeze blew, carrying the smoke and fire she had just smelled. Liu Qianxiu looked at her quietly with deep eyes. Mu Wan felt like she was drowning in his eyes.

She waited patiently and anxiously for his answer.

“Okay.” He agreed.

The author has something to say:
Liu Daochang: I’m pretty hard.

Incurable Chapter 34 Part 1

Back in the room, the room is still lively, and the people’s eyes on the table are towards the direction of Shen Cheng and Mu Qing. Mu Wan sat down and talked to Mi Yu, who was looking at her mobile phone.

“Sister Yu, I’m leaving first.”

Tang Qin’s Weibo homepage was displayed on her mobile phone interface. Mi Yu put her mobile phone away and glanced at Mu Wan. She leaned back on the back of her chair and sipped the water in her goblet. She turned her gaze and swayed around Mu Qing and Shen Cheng. Finally, she nodded and said, “Okay, you could go first.”

Mi Yu is the main character and has to wait until the meal is over, but she is a minor supporting role, so no one cares. Mu Wan thanked Mi Yu, exited her chair, and left the room.

Shen Cheng handed over a glass of water, Mu Qing lowered her eyes and took a sip, but the corner of her eyes swept toward the door. The graceful figure of Mu Wan just disappeared outside the door.

The corner of her lips curled up. She raised her head and said to Shen Cheng with a smile, “Thank you.”

After leaving the Qinghu Business Club, Mu Wan took a taxi home. She left her home on Thursday, and today is just Saturday. But within two days, the room filled with moisture and stuffy. It was far from smelling good of the sandalwood of the Taoist temple.

When she got home, Mu Wan opened the windows for ventilation. Compared to Taoist temples, the wind in Xiacheng was not as cool. Even after the rain, it was still hot and humid. After running around for a day, Mu Wan broke out in a sweat. She took off her clothes and went into the bathroom.

The shower hit the ground. After Mu Wan washed her hair clean, she tied it up and stood under the shower stall to shower. She left the Taoist temple quickly today and didn’t bring her suitcase. She will tell Liu Qianxiu tomorrow to help her bring it back together with him. While she thought of this, Mu Wan’s neck was slightly crooked, so the water was stored in her shoulders. When the water flowed down, it made a crisp sound.

I don’t know when he will be back tomorrow.

After taking a shower, Mu Wan changed into her pajamas. She closed the bedroom window, dried her hair, and went to bed.

The light in the bedroom was off, but some lights from the distant building came in. The room was surprisingly quiet and felt empty. Mu Wan turned over in her bed and couldn’t sleep.

She missed Liu Qianxiu so much.

If she had known that this drama would have Mu Qing, she would still be in the Taoist temple now. Even if she reads with Liu Qianxiu, it would be better than keeping an empty house alone now.

Thinking of what happened tonight, Mu Wan raised her arms above her head, but her thoughts gradually faded.

Mu Qing blocked all her paths and waited for Mu Wan to plead with her to satisfy her arrogance. She wasn’t afraid of being bullied. But after listening to Mother Wu’s statement that Mu Qing would marry Shen Cheng in the future, she becomes worried. Mu Wan could only make a living by acting and had no accumulation in other things. She could not earn as much money and as easy as acting.

The feeling of being squeezed back and forth by the jaws of death is quite stuffy.

But Mu Wan wasn’t totally out of tricks. If she couldn’t stand on anymore, she might as well be caught in a trap. Mu Qing is still too young and only knows to satisfy her current pleasure. Her mother, Yan Mei, should have told Mu Qing not to provoke her.

If Mu Qing provokes her and angers her, she will expose her identity. Then, Mu Qing has to lose the Mu family’s face, which had been hidden for a long time, and maybe it will also affect her entry into the Shen family. Of course, this would also disgrace her mother, but Mu Wan was more thoughtful and open-minded. He thought like this because her mother had passed away, but she still had to live.

After a day of tiredness, Mu Wan lay on the bed and thought before falling asleep.

In the morning, Mu Wan was awakened by Mother Wu’s knock on the door. Getting up from the bed, Mu Wan went to the door to open the door, and Mother Wu walked in, carrying some ingredients for breakfast.

Seeing Mu Wan’s sleepy eyes, she smiled and asked, “Have you just got up?”

Mu Wan hasn’t fully awakened yet. She nodded, stepped aside to let Mother Wu in, and went to the kitchen with her. Mother Wu tidied up the ingredients neatly while Mu Wan asked, “Are you not busy these days?”

In the past, Mother Wu used to come to her house once a month. Although her mother’s death day was approaching, Mother Wu came to her house too often and more frequently. The Mu family doesn’t like her, and If Mother Wu comes too often, she is afraid that the Mu family will scold her later.

“I am not busy. Mu Qing is not at home because she filming, so only Master and Madam are.” After Mother Wu answered, she asked Mu Wan, “What would you like for breakfast?”

After she looked at the ingredients, Mu Wan pursed her lips and said, “Yangchun noodles.”

Mother Wu’s eyes fixed on Mu Wan, and was a little surprised. “You didn’t like eating noodles very much before. This is the second time you have ordered Yangchun noodles.” She said

Mu Wan didn’t order food before. She just ate what Mother Wu had made for her. The meals she cooked in the kitchen, even the porridge and small dishes, were healthier and more delicious than those in the restaurant.

Why has she become good at ordering food? Of course, because she is accustomed to it.

Now that her relationship with Liu Qianxiu was confirmed, Mu Wan recalled the daily routine before the two had not established the relationship. From the beginning, he has been different from her.

Sometimes she wanted to ask Liu Qianxiu when he fell in love with her, but she felt slightly hypocritical. No matter when he fell in love with her, it’s good to be together now.

As Mu Wan thought about it, her eyes gradually brightened, and a smile appeared in the corners of her eyes. She watched Mother Wu look at her eagerly, then she smiled and said, “My boyfriend made it for me once, and I am become addicted to it.”

“Boyfriend?” Mother Wu picked up the key information, and she was beaming instantly.

“Yeah.” Mu Wan nodded with a smile.

Although Mother Wu was happy, there was no surprised look on her expression. Mu Wan raised her eyebrows and asked, “Have you guessed it?”

“I didn’t guess it.” Mother Wu stood there and smiled, “I overheard Mu Qing talking with her mother, saying that you might have a boyfriend.”

After pouring a glass of water, Mu Wan took a sip, her expression unchanged, and said softly, “Oh, they still concerned about me.”

“They aren’t concern about you.” Mother Wu showed no mercy, “They’re just afraid that you’re looking for a better boyfriend than Mu Qing’s boyfriend, and then they will be suppressed. They have a strong vanity.”

Mu Wan’s lips twitched, and said with a smile. “He’s really better than who Mu Qing found.”

Mother Wu looks like she is being pranked. She was pleasantly surprised and asked, “Really? Which gentleman is he?”

“I said that he was good.” Mu Wan corrected Mother Wu’s thoughts, “He is good to me. Didn’t you say at first to find someone to accompany me to eat?”

“That’s what I said...” Mother Wu murmured. Although she said that, she still wanted Mu Wan to find someone better than Shen Cheng. In that case, Mu’s family would never dare to bully Mu Wan again.

“What does he do?” Mother Wu didn’t tangle anymore and asked Mu Wan.

“Surgeon.” Mu Wan didn’t say that Liu Qianxiu still practiced Taoism. Some outsiders don’t understand Taoist priests and generally equate Taoist priests with monks. In fact, Taoist priests are much more free and easy. They can get married and fall in love, just like ordinary people.

“That’s good.” Mother Wu was a little relieved. The profession of a doctor is pretty good. At least she will not worry about food and clothing in the future, and her life will be comfortable.

But after reassuring her, Mother Wu couldn’t help but raise her eyes to look at Mu Wan again and ask unwillingly, “Is he just a doctor?”

The little old lady stood there, her eyes gleaming with anticipation as if hoping to dig up the treasure. Mu Wan put down her cup, laughed, and nodded to shatter her hopes.

“Yes, he is just a doctor.”

~ DESPERATE TRICK ~ 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Zhou Shiyun pursed his lips and quickened his pace.

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

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

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

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

“Where is Eldest Brother.”

“In his room.”

“What’s his situation now.”

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

“What about now?”

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

“Miss Lin.” Zhou Shiyun was taken aback.

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

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

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

“Open the door.”

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

“Yes.”

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

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

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

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

Zhou Zhengxian, “Come in.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“...”

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

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

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

“...”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 380

~ SU YOU IS GETTING BETTER ~ 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

~ THE RESTLESS EAST COURTYARD ~ 

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

“Do you know the reason for the ruckus?”

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

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

“Yes, Miss.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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