Chapter 264
~PLAY TRICK ON THE DARK ~
Su Qingwu slightly blinked, as a strange look flashed in his eyes and then returned to tranquility . “Then let’s properly take good care of her . No matter how much it costs, you definitely can’t leave any scars on Miss Meng’s leg . ”
“Yes . ”
“Yuyi, arrange someone to send Miss Meng back now . What happened afterward…”
“Wait!” Two maidservants helped Meng Yanran to walked out slowly, and her eyes full of triumph . She moved slowly to Mu Yunyao, raised her arm, and slapped Mu Yunyao viciously!
“Pah!”
This time, Mu Yunyao didn’t dodge and instead received a forceful slap . Her fair and tender face immediately turned red and swollen, and her appearance was very frightening .
Meng Yanran lifted the corners of her lips vaguely and raised her hand to hit again . She saw Mu Yunyao slowly raise her eyes . The innocence within them faded away and was replaced with endless coldness and viciousness, as though a black whirlpool had appeared in her eyes . The chill was overwhelming, as though it could swallow people in the blink of an eye .
Meng Yanran was intimidated by the look in her eyes, and she quickly took a step back . Her heart pounded heavily, “You … . How dare you look at me like that? What a vile person . Not only did you injure me, you even have an extremely indignant expression . It looks like you ruined my leg, so all I did was slap you for some interest . Now let’s talk about how you should compensate!”
Mu Yunyao raised her hand and gently caressed her swollen face . The stinging pain caused the hostility in her heart to grow even more intense . “I thought that since the Capital is under the hands of the Emperor, it should be the justest . I didn’t expect that on the second day since I arrived at the Capital, I’ve already witnessed what it means to be indistinguishable between black and white!”
Meng Yanran raised her lips triumphantly and sneered in her heart . She had never expected that her legs would be fine after took off her dress as Doctor Lin told her to . Not to mention scalding, there was not even a little trace of redness on them . The heart-wrenching pain had also disappeared . She had initially thought that she had made big trouble this time but didn’t expect that Doctor Lin’s face would remain the same as ever as she applied medicine to her legs and bandaged them, then Doctor Lin wait on her to change her clothes .
Meng Yanran immediately understood the meaning of Doctor Lin, and she immediately calmed down . No matter how arrogant Mu Yunyao was, so what? The Old Madam didn’t like her, so it would be easy for her to punish her . Even if she slapped Mu Yunyao, wouldn’t she dare to retaliate?
“Mu Yunyao, you said before that as long as I have any injuries on my body, you would break your legs and compensate me . Now with Doctor Lin as a witness, don’t even think of denying it . ”
Su Yuyi stood beside Meng Yanran and lightly hooked her arm around hers, “Little Sister Yanran, I know that you have suffered greatly this time, but we are cousins after all . If you broke Cousin Yunyao’s legs, what does it look like when I go out? Please, for my sake, forgive her this time . ”
Meng Yanran looked at Mu Yunyao with disdain at the corner of her eyes, “I didn’t want to argue with her . After all, it’s understandable for a girl who has grown up in the countryside to have no rules, but she is too arrogant . After hurting me, not only was there no apology, but it was instead an overbearing attack . If it wasn’t because of the presence of Doctor Lin just now, I’m afraid that she relied on her sharp tongue and smooth mouth to deceive Cousin Qingwu in order to establish her name . How can I spare such a vile and vicious person?”
“This …” Su Yuyi was very embarra.s.sed on her face, and she glanced at Mu Yunyao apologetically, saying that she was helpless .
Su Qingwu stood up and said, “Yunyao, apologize to Miss Meng and ask her to treat you lightly . ”
Meng Yanran curled her lips and slowly sat down on a chair on the side, “Since Cousin Qingwu has spoken, I will always give him face . If you kneel down and pour tea for me to apologize to, I can consider letting you keep your legs crossed and only hit you twenty times . ”
Mu Yunyao’s gaze was exceptionally sharp, and her tone was neither humble nor overbearing, “No need . I’ll always keep my promise . Just have someone break my legs . ”
“Yunyao, don’t mess around!” Su Qingwu turned around and looked at her with a solemn expression on his face . “Pour tea to Miss Meng and admit your mistake!”
Mu Yunyao’s lips moved slightly as she resolutely spat out one word, “No!” She wanted to see how these monsters like the Su family would harm her . Aren’t you all here to cause trouble? Then make a lot of noise, and let’s see whether the Su family can hold it in the end!
“How can you be so stubborn?” Su Qingwu frowned, his eyes filled with disapproval .
“I am such a stubborn person, speaking bluntly and admitting defeat . Since I said that if the doctor can find any injuries on Meng Yanran’s leg, I will break my own leg, then I’ll compensate her . Since the wound on Miss Meng’s leg is very serious, I cannot break my promise . ”
Su Yuyi’s brows moved, Mu Yunyao’s ident.i.ty had already spread throughout the Capital . With the things that she had done in Jingling City, it would be okay to punish her with a small amount of punishment, but if Mu Yunyao really broke her legs, what kind of impact would it have on the Su family?
Meng Yanran slammed her hand on the table, “Fine, I want to see how long you can keep your mouth shut . Somebody, drag her down for me, and reprimanded her for twenty times . ”
The old maids that were waiting by the door came in hurriedly, and with their hands clasped around Mu Yunyao, they pressed her down to the ground .
Su Qingwu walked up and stopped their movement . “Yunyao, it’s not too late for you to admit your mistakes . ”
Mu Yunyao scoffed, “This world is really exceptional . The person who framed others and has a black heart sits on the seat with a peaceful heart . But the innocent person who got framed, forced to admit your wrongs . ”
Meng Yanran shouted, “Hit!”
Mu Yunyao lowered her gaze, and the first plank suddenly descended, landing on the lower right below her waist . Intense pain spread across her entire body, and before she could even cry out in pain, the second plank followed suit, landing on the same spot as before . A sharp coldness flashed across her eyes .
If the first plank made her guess in her heart, then the second plank made this guess stand up for itself . These two old maidservants must have secretly received hints to take advantage of this punishment to injure her inner organs and to eliminate the possibility of her having children!
At this moment, Meng Yanran stood up abruptly and screamed, “What happened to my leg? It hurts, it hurts!”
The two old maidservants were shocked and hurriedly stopped what they were doing .
Doctor Lin stepped forward to support Meng Yanran, “Miss Meng, what’s wrong with you?”
Meng Yanran’s face turned pale, and a cold sweat broke out on her forehead . She suddenly raised her head and looked at Doctor Lin in fear, “What medicine did you give me? Why does my leg feel like it’s being cut by a knife now?”
Doctor Lin lowered her eyes slightly . With a respectful expression, she said, “It’s just a common medicine used to treat burns and scalds . ”
“Ah, that’s impossible! Remove the medicine for me quickly . I’m going to die from the pain!”
Doctor Lin held onto Meng Yanran’s hand and put some strength into it, “Miss Meng, you have forgotten that your leg is injured . If you were to wash the medicine hastily, it might leave behind scars . ”
Meng Yanran got pressed on the chair and suddenly recovered . She tried her best to endure it, but the pain got stronger and stronger, as though a sharp knife was harming her legs, and the pain went straight to her bones, as though both her legs broken, “No, I can’t endure it . Wash off those medicine herbs quickly . If you are any slower, I will die from the pain!”
