MMSTEM Chapter 34Translated chapter released:) and proofread by Joyce.
After the ma.s.sacre that happened in the Prime Minister’s Mansion, Huang Fu Yue Xun wholeheartedly spent his time in investigations and didn’t accompany Li Wan Wan. Thus, Li Wan Wan was alone and finally, had a taste. After some time, she got impatient and mistreated some few servants.
“What are you all servants doing? Don’t you have eyes!”
This kind of situation was common these past, few days. Everyone in Li Wan Wan’s room lowered their head, afraid that they would make Li Wan Wan unsatisfied which led to punishment. They didn’t know what type of torments or punishment they would receive. Originally, they thought that if they followed Li Wan Wan, they would have good days. However now, the number of servants flattering w.a.n.gfei was increasing. When their master saw w.a.n.gfei holding authority, their master would lose temper, thus scolding and hitting them. Who’s able to live in this kind of day ah?
Li Wan Wan wanted to control her temper but was unable to calm her anger. Why can’t she compare to that woman who has nothing, except status. That woman s.n.a.t.c.hed the “w.a.n.gfei” t.i.tle which originally belongs to her and now, she wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h his man too?If the first scheme failed, then there would be a second time. She did not believe that she would fail every time.
With the winter season, it was rare to have a fine weather. Mo Qi Liang was in the courtyard strolling around when she heard Servant No. 1 reporting that someone came to pay a visit. Again, the same concubines of Huang Fu Yue Xun. What was their purpose this time?
“Our visit does not disturb w.a.n.gfei’s rest?” Still the same woman spoke. Looking at her appearance, probably her age should be around twenty something. Never expect Huang Fu Yue Xun would love an older woman.
“Last time, I didn’t ask for your name. If you don’t mind, please introduce yourself.” Mo Qi Liang didn’t know that they were thinking she could bring them a good life. However, she herself was unable to get her own desired life.
“This concubine is Xi Meng Ying. The other two is Qin Su Su and Xu Ling Yue. All of us are w.a.n.gfei’s concubine.”
Last time she saw Xi Meng Ying, and Mo Qi Liang had a deep impression of her. As her status is a concubine, naturally she would stay in a wealthy family but it was somewhat a pity.
“A few of you entered this residence way longer than me. Moreover, you are all my seniors. There’s no need to be polite.” Mo Qi Liang did not really take into account their manners. The few people in front of her didn’t object, but they could not easily abandon their conduct, so they did it in this way.
“Courtesy couldn’t be abandoned. w.a.n.gfei doesn’t have to accommodate us.” Xi Meng Ying said. Even she wanted to live a peaceful life in this mansion. But based on her status, she must find a backer. Originally, she was attached to Li Wan Wan. More or less she would have favour, but she received different achievements than what she begged for. At this time, Mo Qi Liang appeared and matched her wishes, which was why she was eager to be friends with Mo Qi Liang.
“Whatever. What brings you here today?” Even though she does not have a bad impression towards Xi Men Ying, it didn’t represent that she’s willing to mind the other’s business. Mo Qi Liang’s ideal wish was to live peacefully without being disturbed by anyone. Even sometimes, she thinks that Servant No. 1 and Servant No. 2’s presence was unnecessary, but to do everything by herself was not suitable for she was a lazy person. That’s why she simply let them serve her. However, if someone intends to treat her as a shield, she couldn’t help but be bothered by it.
“We, concubines only came to see w.a.n.gfei, and didn’t have any other intentions.”Xi Meng Ying was always the one talking whereas the two other people’s expression somewhat shows impatience.
“Since you came here, let’s have a meal before you leave. It happens to be lunch time now.” Although her courtyard appears to be worn out, it has all her needs. Sometimes, extra people in the room were not a bad decision.
Just when Mo Qi Liang and the concubines agreed to have a meal together, she never expected Huang Fu Yue Xun to suddenly come over. Looking at every one of them, having timid and shy expressions glancing at Huang Fu Yue Xun, she was afraid that this lunch would drag longer.
Huang Fu Yue Xun intends to tell Mo Qi Liang something, that he found the woman they were looking for. This matter couldn’t be revealed to other people and Mu Rong Lun Shu already went home. Thinking of it, he himself never came to her courtyard. That’s why he came here to tell the good news and never expected that other people were present too.
“Why are you all here?” Out of curiosity, Huang Fu Yue Xun asked. Just that his tone was stiff. He didn’t know that he had broken a few people’s heart. Just now, the shy expressions changed to grieving. No wonder Huang Fu Yue Xun didn’t like them. Compared to Li Wan Wan, they make people speechless.
“They came here to see me. Let’s have lunch if w.a.n.gye hasn’t had a meal yet.” Mo Qi Liang helps relieve the awkward atmosphere. After all, this was her place. It’s not nice if they’re in a deadlock.
Huang Fu Yue Xun suspiciously glanced at Mo Qi Liang. When did she plan to have a good relationship with them?. Don’t tell him, she started to care towards him? (this guy definitely think too much).
“When did you all have a good relationship?” Huang Fu Yue Xun tried asking again without a hidden meaning. However, the three women thought it was daring to have a backing in the Prince Mansion. Hence, their expression turned to a terrified one.
However, Mo Qi Liang did not think like that. She only said, “Women matters are not worthy for w.a.n.gye to worry about.” Since I didn’t like you, I won’t like your women as well. Is it worthwhile for thieves to guard against me?
Regarding Mo Qi Liang’s words, Huang Fu Yue Xun was used to it. He was not listening as to avoid himself from getting angry. This was the conclusion made under many conversations, absolutely reasonable.
Huang Fu Yue Xun sat at Mo Qi Liang’s left side. Haven’t started to pick up his chopsticks, when another uninvited guest, Li Wan Wan appeared at Mo Qi Liang’s courtyard with a valid reason. The servant behind her, held a lot of things.
Huang Fu Yue Xun saw Li Wan Wan wearing only an unlined garment while standing at the door. He immediately stood and walked to Li Wan Wan. The cape he wore, drops on Li Wan Wan’s shoulders. His words held a blaming tone but didn’t hide away the concerns, “Today’s very cold. You are not in a good condition. Why wear so few and come out?”
“Chenqie was rushing when she came out, and forgot to add a few layers. Chenqie made w.a.n.gye worry.” Due to the cold weather, her face looks flushed and red. With apologetic smiles she attracts her lover to pamper her; however, only to Huang Fu Yue Xun. Except for Mo Qi Liang and the rest of the three women who stared at Li Wan Wan’s fake face. After all they stayed at the Prince’s Mansion longer than her, they probably found out what kind of person Li Wan Wan is.
“You ah. Never know how to take care of yourself.” In this period of time, many things had happened, Huang Fu Yue Xun has been busy and under pressure, accidentally ignored Li Wan Wan. Looking at her today, he felt guilty, and recalled the way he treated her coldy. He would certainly compensate her.
“w.a.n.gye’s lesson, Chenqie will remember.” Li Wan Wan was looking at Huang Fu Yue Xun who still cares about her, and suddenly her heart becomes bright. At first when she heard him and Mo Qi Liang publicly eat lunch, it can be said that her heart sunk to the lowest point. That’s why, she came over hurriedly. However, not bad, he still has concerns about her. Seeing this situation, she had a chance to pull back to the original state.
“Have you eaten? Or let’s eat together?”
“w.a.n.gfei will mind. I will just wait for you all to finish eating and then goes in.” Li Wan Wan acted like she was afraid of Mo Qi Liang. Her voice clearly reached to Mo Qi Liang’s ear. Ah, she really thought she was that kind of person that could bring attention to her. She really looked high of herself.
“No worries. She wouldn’t mind it. Come inside.” Huang Fu Yue Xun was holding Li Wan Wan’s hand. Two people displaying public affections in front of four women, was really disgusting. Mo Qi Liang had a feeling that she was unable to eat.
As always, Mo Qi Liang had a bland taste. No exception for today’s dishes, but who could tell her why when Li Wan Wan looked at these dishes, she suddenly covered her mouth with her hand and had a throw up expression. Could it be …?
“Wan Wan, what’s wrong?” Huang Fu Yue Xun looks worried. After all, she was the person he loves. Her conditions of course would make him worry. One hand held her arm, another hand slowly helped her follow the breathing beat. Xi Meng Ying, the three people looked at them jealously, wishing they could dismantle her stomach.
“Are you probably pregnant?” Mo Qi Liang blurted. The people present was startled, then showed various expression. She looked at them and felt amused.
“Wan Wan, is it true?” Huang Fu Yue Xun was completely unable to express his feelings when he thought he would be a father. His hopeful eyes looking at Li Wan Wan, both hands tightly holding her shoulder, the satisfied expression; sounds like he wanted to fly to the sky immediately.
Li Wan Wan’s face blushed and became redder, gradually nodded her head, and rested it against his chest. She used her most gentle voice and proudly said, “Xun, finally we have our own child.”
When he heard the acknowledgement from Li Wan Wan’s mouth, he was blank for a moment. And then, his mind filled with, ‘I’m becoming a father, I’m becoming a father’. It was their first time to have a child. This was the biggest gift from Heaven. At that moment, he felt the entire world belongs to him. Emperor, throne, status, fame and fortune, everything did not matter anymore as long as the person he loved the most and him has a child. The rest was no longer important anymore.
“Congratulations to w.a.n.gye.” Anyway, Heavens granting a child to husband and wife was the happiest gift. Even though Mo Qi Liang didn’t like Li Wan Wan, but this child was innocent. Therefore, she didn’t mind and blessed them sincerely.
“Congratulations to w.a.n.gye to have a baby boy.” Mo Qi Liang finished congratulating. The remaining three women didn’t forget to offer their blessings. They blessed while glancing at Li Wan Wan’s belly at the same time.
“I would accompany you to go back. Now, you are pregnant and are still wondering around. What to do if the child got injured?” Huang Fu Yue Xun softened his tone. Mo Qi Liang who heard it, nearly had a gooseb.u.mp.
“But w.a.n.gfei…” Li Wan Wan always had this feared expression towards Mo Qi Liang. People who didn’t know will thought Mo Qi Liang mistreated her. Just that when Mo Qi Liang was bored, she use this trick towards her.
“She’s ok with it.” Huang Fu Yue Xun knew Mo Qi Liang wouldn’t mind about it. Currently, his mind was totally filled with the “child” thought.
Li Wan Wan full of apologies smiled at Mo Qi Liang, but her eyes showed a clear meaning. Just that, from Huang Fu Yue Xun’s direction, he couldn’t see Li Wan Wan’s expressions which was why she made this expression.
Mo Qi Liang has seen enough of this trick by Li Wan Wan. However, she was pregnant now, she would carry out what kind of miscarriage show to provoke her. If its really the case, Mo Qi Liang would probably make her unable to become pregnant for her entire lifetime. Mo Qi Liang recalled that she had a pile of collected potions which are useful and acted as a toxic medicine.
Mo Qi Liang could accept Huang Fu Yue Xun’s neglect, but this didn’t mean that the other three women didn’t care about it. All the while Li Wan Wan was doted by him and now she was pregnant, Huang Fu Yue Xun would surely be more doting to her. In this prince’s mansion, would they have a glorious day?
