Liu Mama, The Heartlessness
In the evening, someone sent medicinal ingredients for Su Qing to recuperate her body, and they brought a bowl for Mu Yunyao as well .
Mu Yunyao’s forehead slightly frowned . “I don’t have any uncomfortable places . Why would I be drinking this bitter medicine juice?”
Liu Mama walked up with the candied fruits . “Young Miss, doctor He said that there are inevitably places from the south to the north where the soil and water are not compatible . Previously, when he checked Madam’s pulse, he noticed that Young Miss’s cheeks were slightly red, which was also a symptom of a false fire, so he prescribed some nourishing and healthy medical herbs, including ginseng and wolfberry . Although the taste is not very good, it is a great benefit for your body . Many young ladies in big families in the Capital have to take care of their health all year round . ”
Mu Yunyao picked up the medicine bowl and took a sniff . Her forehead slightly wrinkled, and although her expression was still unwilling, there was no longer the same resistance as before . “Is Liu Mama telling the truth?”
“Of course, it’s true . This servant absolutely does not dare to lie to Young Miss . The Eldest Miss of our family also needs to drink nutritional medicine every day to take care of her body! After being nurtured all year round, her appearance is comparable to a flower . I don’t know how many people envied her . ”
“Then is the medicine Elder Sister drank the same as the medicine I drank tonight?”
“Of course, it’s the same . Although Young Miss is Old Lady’s new granddaughter, The Old Lady loves Young Miss just like any other granddaughter . Otherwise, everything on the ship would not be ready, even the medicinal ingredients for nourishing the body had prepared . ”
Mu Yunyao’s eyes moved as a smile quickly flashed across her face: Did this Liu Mama think she was a fool?
Su Yuyi did indeed consume pills all year round . However, they were all top quality and precious medicinal ingredients . The combination of the ingredients was exceptionally meticulous in order to make her appearance and complexion more outstanding .
The pill was worth at least a hundred taels of silver, and they are so expensive . What she had in her bowl are just some mere clearing fire herbs . Liu Mama dared to say that they are the same as Su Yuyi’s medicine, what shameless boasting!
As she thought, she picked up the medicine bowl and drank it directly from it . After drinking it, she pinched another candied fruit and placed it in her mouth . Only then did her expression looked a little more relaxed, “This medicine tastes really strong . It’s getting late, and I need to go to sleep early . Let’s have a rest, and Liu Mama also goes down to rest . ”
Seeing Mu Yunyao drink the medicine directly from the bowl, a carefree expression flashed across Liu Mama’s eyes . “Yes, then this servant won’t disturb Young Miss . ”
When Liu Mama had retreated, Mu Yunyao directly put her hand on the acupuncture points on her chest and spat out the medicine she had just drunk .
Su Qing hurried over to support Mu Yunyao . “Yao’er?”
Mu Yunyao picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corner of her lips . She quickly comforted Su Qing, “Mother, don’t worry . I’m fine . ”
“Then just now, you … Could there be something wrong with that bowl of medicine?”
“Just a little . It’s almost the same as the one added to Eight Treasure Tofu before . ”
“Silly child, you already saw through the problem . Why didn’t you expose that Liu Mama?” Su Qing felt very distressed .
Mu Yunyao supported Su Qing to sit at the side . Her eyes were a little watery from the vomit just now, and she looked rather pitiful, “Mother, I know about medicine, but I don’t want the Su family to know about it too early . This skill is our trump card, and it might have an unexpected effect sometime in the future . Besides, that Liu Mama was just a nobody . The reason she dared to do this was all due to Eldest Madam’s influence . Even though she’s bold and audacious, she can’t stand to cheated . Like I said before, her expression immediately changed, this kind of person is so easy to deal with, and if we were to deal directly with her, that would be great . But tomorrow, there will still be Zhang Mama and Li Mama . Will the others be easy to deal with too? Besides, we already know what she did, so we only need to be careful . She will have other uses in the future . ”
Su Qing was still furious and unbearable: “Even though you said that . It’s suffering you . ”
Mu Yunyao looked at the medicine bowl placed on one side by Su Qing, directly brought it over, and poured it into the flowerpot on the table: “What’s so bitter about that? Besides, even though I don’t deal with that Liu Mama now, I didn’t say that I wouldn’t make her suffer . Mother, rest assured, I’m the pettiest person here . ”
Not long after he finished talking, a commotion broke out outside .
Mu Yunyao pursed her lips and called Jin Lan in, telling her to go out and take a look . After a while, Jin Lan returned and reported to her, “Reporting to Madam and Miss, when Liu Mama went downstairs, she somehow fell down the stairs and broke her leg . ”
“Broke her leg?” Su Qing was surprised .
“That’s right . I don’t know how it happened, but the staircase didn’t seem that high . But if you fell down, you would break your leg . ”
Su Qing turned her head to look at Mu Yunyao . With a hesitant tone, she asked, “Yao’er, who…? It’s…, it’s . . . ”
Mu Yunyao nodded slightly, admitting that she had done it herself . Just now, she had asked Liu Mama to bring down that plate of candied fruits, and when her fingers brushed it, she sprinkled some medicinal powder on top of it . The candied fruits had some icing on them, and the white medicinal powder couldn’t be seen at all . Even if Liu Mama didn’t want to eat one, she could have an accident by smelling it .
Su Qing caressed Mu Yunyao’s hair, “Yao’er, let’s have a rest early . Tomorrow, we will go to visit Liu Mama . ” Her heart still minded Liu Mama’s previous actions . Her Yao’er was the kindest, yet that Liu Mama had hardened her heart to harm her . If she didn’t look at her miserable appearance, it would be hard to understand her hatred .
“Alright, I’ll listen to Mother . ” Mu Yunyao, on the other hand, rarely saw Su Qing gritting her teeth like this . She was so surprised, but she couldn’t help sighing in her heart . The changes in her mother’s temperament during the period of living in Jingling city were astonishing .
The next morning, after breakfast, Mu Yunyao accompanied Su Qing to Liu Mama’s room .
At this moment, Liu Mama was lying on the bed, wailing in grief . Her face was covered in a cold sweat, one of her legs resting on the side of the bed, and she looked so miserable .
When Wen Mama heard the news, she hurried over to accompany them . Seeing her like this, she couldn’t help but furrow her brows and remind her, “Liu Mama, Madam, and Young Miss are here to visit you . ”
Liu Mama was lying on the bed . Upon hearing Wen Mama’s words, she turned her head slightly, her face contorted in pain . “This servant thanks Madam and Young Miss . It’s inconvenient for me to get up now, so I can’t pay my respects to you two . ”
Mu Yunyao blinked, a look of concern on her face . However, her first sentence directly pierced Liu Mama’s sore spot, “Liu Mama, why are you so careless? It must have hurt a lot to break a leg like this . Most importantly, the medicinal ingredients on the boat are not enough right now, so there might be leaving a disability . ”
Heard this word, Liu Mama’s anger rose to the extreme, but she didn’t dare to flare up . Instead, she pleaded, “Madam, Young Miss, this servant’s injuries are too painful . I wonder if I could ask Madam to order people to come ashore and buy some medicinal ingredients for me to use . ”
As long as he could achieve his goal, it wouldn’t be too much of a loss .
