Chapter 1
Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 1
February, freezing cold weather .
In the gloomily wintry dungeon, the cold was like a needle that continuously poked the bones .
Mu Yunyao leaned against the hay, her arm drenched in blood, yet she was completely unaware of it . Instead, a clear smile spread across her delicate face .
“Grandma, later on in court, you will have to think carefully about what you are going to say . One wrong word and you will accompany Zhang Caizhu to the coffin . If you speak correctly, he will die alone . I believe such a simple matter will pose no difficulty to you . ”
The voice was like a nightingale’s, yet to Li Shi (T/N: ‘Shi’ is saying that ‘Li’ is the birth surname of the person in question, in this case the lady’s maiden name is ‘Li’), it was like the caws of an evil spirit in the night . “Mu Yunyao, you are the murderer! The magistrate will find out the truth, you will definitely not get away with this!”
“Ha! Even the Heavens can be blind, let alone Man! Otherwise, after so many years of your abuse towards me and my mother, why have you not gone to h.e.l.l?”
“You…you are a demon! A vengeful demon! The magistrate will definitely find out the truth and you will have your head chopped off and fed to the dogs!” Li Shi dragged her broken leg to hide in the corner, as if this would widen the gap between her and Mu Yunyao .
Mu Yunyao chuckled . She slowly stood up, walked towards Li Shi and stretched out her injured arms . They were, however, still pale and delicate .
“Grandma, people only believe their own eyes . Indeed, it was I who killed him, but who would possibly believe that I could kill such a tall and muscular man?”
Li Shi involuntarily shuddered . She screamed and violently pushed Mu Yunyao onto the floor .
At this moment, a guard walked towards the cell . When he saw this scene, he raised his baton towards Li Shi and glared at her with hatred, “Even in the cell, you still do not know your place! Are you asking for a beating? The magistrate has opened the case, let’s go . ”
Even in the dungeon, this old hag still does not forget to bully her own granddaughter . Serves her right to get her leg broken!
Li Shi raised her head to look at Mu Yunyao . Her eyes met Mu Yunyao’s cold ones and could not help regretting everything . If she had known that this girl would become like this, she would have killed her much earlier on!
Mu Yunyao laughed coldly and stood up to follow the guard . Her thoughts went back to all the events that had taken place these past few days .
Four days ago, when Mu Yunyao opened her eyes, she was dumbfounded . The room was not big . Near her was a table and a stool, there was also a clean and neat tea set placed on the table . At the corner of the room was a wardrobe . Other than these, the room was bare .
This was her room when she was thirteen years old!
There was a beautiful woman leaning on the side of her bed . Her hair was as black as a crow’s, her body was slim and fragile, the simple dress could not hide her graceful air . This was her mother, Su Qing .
“Mother…”
“Yao Er, you’re awake, does your head still hurt?” Su Qing quickly supported Mu Yunyao, her tears fell even more quickly . “It’s all Mother’s fault, I was not able to protect you . Grandma… how could Grandma hurt you so?”
(T/N: ‘Er’ is placed at the back of the last word in a person’s Chinese name . It is mainly used to address someone affectionately . )
Mu Yunyao then realised that the back of her head hurt . She touched it and the pain momentarily caused her vision to black out . She suddenly remembered that at this time, where her father had already pa.s.sed away for two months, Grandma had come to their home to cause a ruckus . Mu Yunyao had tried to talk some sense into her and was given a beating in return .
“Mother, Mother!” Mu Yunyao dove into Su Qing’s embrace, an overwhelming happiness filled her heart, which caused tears to well up in her eyes instantaneously . She was back . She was back to when the nightmare had not begun . Her Mother was still alive, her future could still be saved!
Su Qing was dumbfounded but still gave her daughter a tight hug, as if she was hugging a treasure that was once lost but found again . Su Qing choked out, “Yao Er . ”
Mu Yunyao bit her tongue . The pain confirmed the fact that she was not dreaming . If this was a dream, she would rather not wake up forever . For this, she would give everything!
Suddenly, a sharp voice rang out, “ Su Qing, you are as black-hearted as I expected, I was just taking back what had belonged to my son and this is what you say to me? Hmph! Let me tell you, the things that belong to my son belong to me, this is in line with the principles of Heaven and Earth! When my son was alive, you were not able to give birth to a boy . Now that he is dead, you are taking all his things for yourself! You are such a cursed existence!”
Upon hearing this voice, Mu Yunyao felt as if tens of thousands of lightning bolts struck across her brain . She trembled in anger . This was her Grandma, Li Shi’s voice! No mater how many years had pa.s.sed, this voice was like a curse, upon hearing it would cause her heart to chill .
