Chapter 145
A Plaything With A Bigger Mind
Suppressing the churning thoughts in her heart, Mu Yunyao looked at Lady Jin and helped her pull at the quilt . “Even if Madam is angry in her heart, you can’t joke with your body . You absolutely can’t use this incense . ”
On Lady Jin’s face, a smile appeared . “I haven’t used incense since you told me not to use too sweet spice . ”
Mu Yunyao’s eyebrows twitched . “But when I entered the room earlier, I could clearly smell the fragrance of Jasmine mixed in with the smell of medicine in it . ”
“… It’s Concubine w.a.n.g . She loves to use jasmine incense all year-round . In the morning, she came to my room to beg for forgiveness, but I chased her out . The smell of Jasmine’s fragrance that you smelt was probably left behind by her . Yunyao, is the medicine added to the incense harmful to my body?”
“Ordinary people wouldn’t find anything when they smell it, but you are pregnant right now, so you are more anxious than usual . If you smell this fragrance more, it will be easy to overthink it . There’s no problem right now . You only necessary to have less contact . ”
Lady Jin sneered . “I was kind to them, and they really thought that I had lost my temper! In the past, I didn’t have a child by my side, so I wasn’t willing to fight with them and didn’t think about it . On the contrary, I even raised their hearts up a notch . But they dared to do something to the mistress of the house and had the idea of my child . Since that’s the case, don’t blame me for not being able to tolerate these b.i.t.c.hes!”
Mu Yunyao saw Lady Jin’s expression like that for the first time, and she couldn’t help but lower her eyes slightly .
Lady Jin realized that she had lost control of herself and quickly restrained her anger, “Yunyao, I’ve let you down . ”
Mu Yunyao smiled and shook her head . “Every mother’s feelings about defending their child is about the same . With my mother’s soft personality, she can fight with others to protect me . Madam’s anger is also within reason, but don’t ruin your body just because of this . ”
Lady Jin couldn’t help but hold Mu Yunyao’s hand and pat it . “If my child is half as sensible as you, I would be satisfied . ”
“No matter how naughty the child, he is still the child that Madam carried desperately for ten months of pregnancy . Even though Madam saw him crying, you still felt that he was extremely clever and adorable . ” Mu Yunyao slightly tilted her head and blinked, an indescribable mischievous look appearing on her face .
Lady Jin couldn’t help but chuckled: “It’s rare for you to show such an expression in front of me . I don’t know how much I envious of your mother before . But don’t worry, even if the child in my womb is born, I will still love you . ”
Seeing that Lady Jin’s expression relaxed, Mu Yunyao stood up and saluted . With a bright smile on her face, she said, “Then I’m blessed . ”
“You little girl!” Lady Jin smiled . The anger in her heart gradually dissipated .
Mu Yunyao then chatted with Lady Jin for a while . After confirming that Lady Jin was okay, she stood up to take leave .
Yin Hong walked her out of the residence . Just as she was about to get on the carriage, Mu Yunyao suddenly opened the carriage’s curtain . “Sister Yin Hong, when you have nothing else to do, let Madam make some scented pouches and put them on Lord Cao . ”
Yin Hong nodded in a daze . Just as she was about to say something, she saw that the carriage had already left .
When she returned to the courtyard, she saw the delicate figure of Concubine w.a.n.g being supported back by two maidservants . She couldn’t help but snort coldly and quickly walk into the room . “Madam, are you going to let Concubine w.a.n.g off so easily?”
“She’s just a concubine . There’s plenty of ways to deal with her . ” Madam Jin replied with a cold expression as she leaned against the headboard of the bed . “However, if I were to make a move directly, Old Master would inevitably think that that I can’t tolerate people after I have an heir . Furthermore, I might not even like children at all, and I might not care about my reputation, but the child in my womb must have the best!”
The backyard of the residence was full of cheers and laughter, but there were countless people inside every year . Concubine w.a.n.g was just the most ordinary of them all . If they wanted to deal with her, they didn’t need to dirty their hands .
Mu Yunyao indicated for Jin Lan and the rest to withdraw . Only then did she tell Su Qing about the situation in the Cao family .
When Su Qing heard this, she could not help but sigh, “Every family has its own problems . Looking at the brilliance of Lady Jin, in reality, there are a lot of troublesome matters behind her back . ”
Mu Yunyao leaned on Su Qing’s shoulder . “Mother, don’t worry . Lady Jin isn’t an ordinary girl . She can handle such a small matter in the backyard . ”
“Mm, your birthday is coming up soon . After your birthday, you’ll be fourteen years old, and after a year or two years, your mother will send you out to be married . ” Su Qing suddenly felt a little emotional . She turned her head to look at Mu Yunyao’s beautiful face and couldn’t help but start to worry . Yao’er’s appearance is naturally nothing to say, but her character is always like a child, and when the time came, is she might even be able to have a good relationship with her husband?
When she heard about marriage, Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but think of Jin w.a.n.g and quickly suppressed the coldness in her heart . “Mother, don’t speak carelessly . I’ll never marry in my entire life . ”
“Nonsense, how could you follow your mother for a lifetime?”
“I’m going to let Mother have her child for the rest of her life . Do you think Mother will despise me?”
“They say that a girl can’t stay in a place like that, but if you want to stay here, you’ll have to worry about it . When you’re old enough, and you have someone you like, I’m afraid that even Mother doesn’t need to tell you, you’re anxious to get married . ” Su Qing couldn’t help but chuckle .
“Who said that I wouldn’t even have to worry about being home all day . ” Mu Yunyao rubbed her shoulder as she hugged Su Qing’s arm and said coquettishly . “Mother, you can’t despise me . You absolutely can’t!” Su Qing was tossed and turned by her . She could not help but laugh . “Good! Mother will not despise you, and I won’t mind even if you have to live with me for my entire life!” Su Qing couldn’t help but sigh . Perhaps the heavens thought that her daughter was too good, so they took her husband away early . Her mother-in-law tortured her for more than ten years in order to balance this blessing . Now that the suffering had come, he could only hope that everything would go smoothly in the future!
Only after having a good chat with Su Qing did Mu Yunyao return to her room . Thinking of the New Year’s gift that Lady Jin had mentioned, she couldn’t help but pick up the needle and thread and embroider two st.i.tches . Carelessly, it pierced her finger and causing her to tremble slightly .
A dark red bead of blood appeared on her fingertip . She lowered her eyes and stared at the red color in her hand . In her mind, she couldn’t help but recall the figure of Jin w.a.n.g .
The Third Prince, Ning Junjin, was considered a legendary figure in the Capital . His mother, the Imperial Concubine Zhen, was the maid of the late Empress . After the late Empress pa.s.sed away, the Imperial Concubine guarded the spirit of the Empress for forty-nine days before kneeling down and pa.s.sing out . It happened that the Emperor pa.s.sed by and sent her back to the Palace .
After that, the Imperial Concubine Zhen rose to the top . In less than a year, the Third Prince, Ning Junjin, was born, and she has conferred the t.i.tle of Imperial Concubine . It was unknown just how many women had red eyes . This Third Prince relied on his handsome appearance and gentle temperament to become widely praised within the Imperial Court, and it caused the hearts of many women to feel adoration towards him . However, the original daughter of a n.o.ble family would always look down on him because of his mother’s background .
But who would have thought that this seemingly gentle Prince could take over the Su family quietly and marry the Su family’s precious daughter, then leaped up to become the best candidate to inherit the throne .
But unfortunately, she died too early, so she didn’t know who the throne would end up . If she knew about this earlier, she could have planned ahead and prepared another way . “Aiya, Miss, how did your hand injured?” When Jin Lan brought in the bird’s nest congee and saw Mu Yunyao raise her finger in a daze . She carefully looked at it and noticed that her fingertip stain with blood .
