Chapter 532
~ YOU CAN’T LIVE IF YOU’RE GUILTY OF A SIN ~
The coldness around Mu Yunyao seemed to be boundless. Just when the Old Madam thought Mu Yunyao would lose her mind, she suddenly burst into laughter.
The Old Madam stopped laughing and stared coldly at Mu Yunyao. “You can still laugh after hearing me say this?”
“Why can’t I laugh?” Mu Yunyao gently smiled, without the slightest gloom remaining around her body, and said, “I haven’t noticed a lot of things if you don’t talk about them, but you’ve made me understand a lot. Even if the Fourth Master is not the Emperor’s biological son, as you said, the Emperor has given him the title of Yue Wang and granted him the dignity of a prince, so he is of royal bloodline! As long as the Emperor admits it, nothing else is a problem.”
“That’s because His Majesty didn’t think about making a fuss about it. Once the Emperor does, you and Yue Wang will surely die without a place to be buried.”
“So many years have passed. If the Emperor wanted to make a fuss about it, he would have already done so. Why wait until now? Furthermore, if the Emperor treated him like this, even though he knew Yue Wang wasn’t his own son, he must have attached great importance to the Empress. Even if he knew that the Empress had given birth to someone else’s son, he would still be unable to hurt the child.”
The Old Madam widened her eyes. “How is that possible!? No man in this world could tolerate his wife being tainted by filth, not to mention the Emperor of the Nine Five Supremes! He is the most respected person in the world. How could he tolerate his wife having an affair with someone else?”
Mu Yunyao scoffed, looking at the Old Madam with mockery in her eyes, “Of course, you can’t understand it. After all, you have spent your entire life planning and calculating. Whether it is your relatives or friends, in your eyes, there are only two things: whether you can use them or not. You regard others as chess pieces, and others treat you as no one. From a human’s point of view, this was the root of the Su family’s downfall! You are the most pitiful person in the world!”
“You... you’re talking nonsense!”
Mu Yunyao slowly pulled out a silver needle from the medicine box at the side and said, “A person must not be too greedy. If you had immediately reported it to the Grand Princess when you discovered my mother, my grandmother would definitely have heavily rewarded the Su family. After that, for some time, you would have had countless opportunities to make up for the mistake of calculating the Grand Princess, but you didn’t do it. You have ended up in such a miserable state because you are too greedy and do not have enough wisdom. All of this, you brought upon yourself. You are the one who hurt the Su family and let the Su family go to ruin!”
The Old Madam’s eyes were red. She opened her mouth to retort, but her throat was immediately pierced by Mu Yunyao, “Ugh … Woo woo ….”
Mu Yunyao tossed the silver needle to the side, her expression exceptionally cold. “You can’t live if you’re guilty of a sin.” After saying that, she slowly walked out of the room.
Li De hurriedly brought people to greet her. “Princess.”
“I’ve kept Eunuch Li waiting for a long time. I’ve made a new batch of tea, and I’ll send it to you in a few days’ time.”
“The servant is blessed. Thank you, Princess.” Li De was overjoyed. Now that he could taste the tea personally made by Princess Wenxian, it can say that he had accumulated a good fortune through his ancestors.
Mu Yunyao nodded and slowly walked out with Jin Lan and Jin Qiao. When they passed Jiyue Pavilion, her steps paused a little. “Remember to get someone to dig up the cinnabar osmanthus here. Those still alive will be transferred to Qinfang Garden, and those who are dead will be sent to the kitchen to make a fire.”
“Yes, Miss.”
When Mu Yunyao returned to Qinfang Garden, she thought of the Old Madam’s words and felt a heavy weight in her heart. Yue Wang is not the Emperor’s son by blood. Seeing the Old Madam’s expression, it didn’t seem like she was lying. However, this matter was too unimaginable.
Just as she was lost in her thoughts, a sound suddenly came from the door. Mu Yunyao raised her gaze and saw the poisonous lady leaning on the door. “When did you come back?”
“It’s been a while since I’ve been back, so I’ve been walking around and discovered that the Capital is quite good.” The poisonous lady took out a hairpin and tossed it toward Mu Yunyao. “Look, I bought it for you. Isn’t it gorgeous?”
Mu Yunyao hurriedly stretched out her hand to catch the hairpin. When she saw the hairpin’s design, she couldn’t help but raise the corner of her lips. “This is the newest hairpin design from Yi Bao Xuan, and it’s even the most expensive batch. Not a single one of them is the same.”
The poisonous lady’s eyes widened in surprise. “You can know where this hairpin was bought by just looking at it?”
Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but chuckle, “As a woman, I still have some understanding towards the latest clothes and accessories. I really like this hairpin, thank you very much.”
“It’s fine for me to remember the name of the poison, but I might faint if I were to remember the newest clothes and accessories… You …” As the poisonous lady spoke, she suddenly felt stuck in her throat and looked at Mu Yunyao’s shoulder with a slight shiver.
Just now, a white shadow jumped onto Mu Yunyao’s shoulder.
Mu Yunyao slightly tilted her head. “What’s the matter?”
The poisonous lady took two steps back and retreated directly to the door. “You … on your shoulder ... fox … fox …….”
Seeing her nervous appearance, Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but make fun of her. She turned her head to look at the shoulder where the Snow Fox was standing and asked with a doubtful tone, “What’s wrong with my shoulder? Nothing at all?”
Nothing....no?
The poisonous lady became even more nervous. “Didn’t you notice? Fox.... There is a white fox on your shoulder. “
“No, where’s that thing on my shoulder? Are you trying to scare me?”
A light breeze blew, sending a chill down the poisonous lady’s spine and making her legs go weak. “Really … There really is one.”
Seeing that her expression had changed, Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but laugh aloud and then stretched out her hand to hold Snow Fox in her arms. “Hehe, you look so funny.”
The poisonous lady was stunned for a while and suddenly reacted,
“Are you teasing me on purpose?”
“Yeah, I was teasing you because I saw how nervous you are. Ta Xue’s character is the most docile. Come, Ta Xue, say hello.” Mu Yunyao raised the Snow Fox’s claws and waved them at the poisonous lady.
Ta Xue raised his black eyes, looked at the poisonous lady smartly, waved his claws sharply, and let out a threatening howl.
The poisonous lady almost pulled out the needle and threw it at her: “I still have things to do, so I’ll be leaving first. If you’re looking for me, send someone to deliver a letter to Chang De Medical Hall in Changde street.” After she finished speaking, she did not wait for Mu Yunyao’s reply and hurriedly turned around to leave in a hurry.
Mu Yunyao laughed, held the Snow Fox in front of her, and stretched out her hand to pinch its soft claws. “Are you doing this on purpose, huh?”
The Snow Fox blinked his eyes for unknown reasons and stuck out her pink tongue to lick at Mu Yunyao’s finger, making her smile slightly until her eyes were curved.
After playing with the Snow Fox for a while, Mu Yunyao placed it on a soft couch at the side.
Jin Qiao walked in as she said, “Miss, this is the new dessert made by the kitchen. Madam ordered Sister Si Qin to bring it over.”
“Mm, put it down.”
Jin Qiao put things away and said softly, “Su Qingwu was sentenced to exile and conscripted into the army, Miss. He’s leaving the Capital today. I heard that the Sixth Princess hanged herself, but she was rescued. The Imperial Physician went to diagnose and treat her, saying she was pregnant.”
Mu Yunyao was stunned slightly, “The Sixth Princess is pregnant?”
“That’s right. The Sixth Princess didn’t agree to the matters regarding the marriage separation, but her mother, the Imperial Concubine Li, insisted on them. Now that the marriage separation has been completed, the Sixth Princess discovered she was pregnant, which was simply a stroke of luck.”
Mu Yunyao sighed, “Even so, it’s much better than Zhang Wan.”
Jin Qiao stopped talking. When Lady Zhang passed away, her Miss was very sad. If it weren’t for the incident that happened to His Royal Highness Yue Wang, she might have been even more upset.
