Chapter 263
A BLATANT FRAMING ~
“What are you doing?” Su Qingwu abruptly grabbed the sand pot, his eyes filled with disapproval .
Mu Yunyao raised her wet palm, “Look carefully!”
Mu Yunyao’s fingers were white and tender, and now that they stained with water, droplets of water condensed on top of them, as if they were petals with morning dew .
Su Yuyi and Meng Yanran opened their eyes wide with disbelief, “How is this possible?” Mu Yunyao’s hands were splashed with water from the sand pot, causing her fingers to turn slightly red . The redness looked very faint .
However, Mu Yunyao waved her hand in vexation . “My skin has always been soft and tender, and a little bit of it would have left a red mark, but this time is not . Cousin, why don’t you try and help me?”
After making sure that her hand was okay, Su Qingwu heaved a sigh of relief and regained his senses . Looking into Mu Yunyao’s trusting eyes, he couldn’t help but freeze for a moment . He suddenly recalled the scene of her sitting on the osmanthus tree and tossing the flower down .
That day, she threw the fragrant osmanthus flowers on the ground, but it didn’t throw out of his heart . Instead, it had deeply rooted itself in his heart . Now that he saw Mu Yunyao again, his past memories were urging the osmanthus trees in his heart to grow roots and leaves that were densely packed and spread .
Su Qingwu didn’t say much . He merely took the sand pot directly and poured the water from it into her palm .
Su Yuyi exclaimed, “Elder Brother!”
The feeling coming from his fingers is warm and slightly hot . But it was still entirely within an acceptable range . This kind of water temperature would never burn anyone!
Su Qingwu’s expression suddenly became stern . “Miss Meng, there’s must be a limit to your nonsense . ”
Meng Yanran’s eyes widened in disbelief, “Cousin Qingwu, when did I make a scene? It was Mu Yunyao who scalded me . So why shouldn’t I be allowed to seek justice for myself?”
“Even you are still lying until now . The temperature of the water in the sand pot is only slightly hot . It’s not hot enough to burn people!”
“How is this possible? My legs are in so much pain that I still can’t stand up . It must have because been waiting so long that the water in the sand has cooled down . ”
Mu Yunyao stood in front of Meng Yanran, her voice full of anger . “Miss Meng, didn’t you hear what I said to Cousin just now? This sand pot was made to maintain the water’s temperature and will not change for an hour! If you don’t believe me, you can refill the water and try it again in an hour . ”
“You … You must have done something!” Meng Yanran pointed at Mu Yunyao, her chest heaving from anger . “Is warm water still useful for making tea?”
“That was Premium Yuqian Longjing, and the water temperature needed for making the tea was not high . Furthermore, the tea leaves had prepared by Cousin was from the tender leaves in March . The leaves are so delicate, and you need to use a lower temperature when you brewed the tea . Therefore, the tea water won’t scald anyone . If you don’t understand it, then don’t speak carelessly!” Mu Yunyao lightly snorted and looked at her with extreme disdain .
“Yunyao, don’t be so rude . ” Su Qingwu indifferently said to Mu Yunyao before turning to Su Yuyi, “Send Miss Meng back . ”
“No, I won’t go back . Today, I must seek justice . ” Meng Yanran’s eyes were full of hatred, the pain on her leg was particularly severe, she definitely scalded . “I don’t know what you did secretly, but the injury on my leg can never be fake . Today, I must expose your sinister face!”
“I grew up in the countryside and have always been a straightforward person . Since you’ve said this, I can’t bear it anymore . You keep making a commotion, and it would be best if everyone knew about it . Then, let everyone see your vicious heart!”
Meng Yanran almost went mad with anger, “You … . You call me vicious?”
“That’s right . I’m talking about you! You called me cheap because I am a clothes seller and a merchant . You also say that I’m rotten from the roots . My grandmother had a t.i.tle . She had missed my mother for so many years and had never given up on searching for my mother . She was the most benevolent, but where is it rotten? You tell me what you’re talking about!”
“When did I talk about the Old Madam?” Meng Yanran’s eyes widened . The reason she said those words earlier was apparent that she wanted to mock Mu Yunyao’s father’s family background, but she had forcefully dragged it onto the Old Madam . Even if she had ten times the guts, she would not have said anything to implicating the Old Madam in the Su family .
“Cousin Yuyi and Cousin Qingwu listened to what you said just now . They are both fair people and won’t hide anything from you . Do you still want to argue?”
Su Yuyi relaxed her hand that was supporting Meng Yanran . A calm look flashed across her eyes from time to time .
Mu Yunyao sensed her movements and sneered in her heart . Su Yuyi perfectly inherited the temperament of the Su family and had always judged the situation . Now that she saw Meng Yanran unable to protect herself, she naturally wanted to get rid of her involvement and completely forgot that she was the one who pulled the person over to her side to serve as a gunman .
At that moment, a female voice heard from the door . “Doctor Wu is here . ”
Meng Yanran’s cold gaze swept across Mu Yunyao . The hatred in her eyes was so intense . “You can fake words, but you can’t fake injuries . Don’t think that just because you have a smooth mouth that you can reverse the truth . ”
When Doctor Wu walked in and heard that Meng Yanran’s leg had scalded, he couldn’t help but put on a look of embarra.s.sment, “Eldest Young Master, I can’t look at Miss Meng’s injuries . However, I heard that the Old Madam has a female doctor serving her, so I’ll have to trouble you to send someone over to invite her . ”
Su Yuyi quickly said, “It’s my fault for not being thoughtful . I’ll send someone to get Doctor Lin right now . ”
This time, the person came very quickly . Not long later, a woman dressed in plain clothes came in “Greetings, Young Master . Greetings, Young Misses …”
“There is no need for Doctor Lin to be so courteous . Please help Miss Mengto see if the injury on her leg is serious?”
Doctor Lin nodded her head slightly and signaled the maidservants on the side to help Meng Yanran to go the inner side of the room .
Seeing the woman, Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but squinted her eyes slightly, and cold killing intent flashed in her eyes: Lin Yuhan, once known as Imperial Physician Lin’s granddaughter . Later on, Imperial Physician Lin gets convicted of being involved in the affairs of the palace . The Lin family got taken away, and all of the women’s relatives became the official’s slaves . Because the Imperial Physician Lin had an old relationship with the Old Master of the Su family, Madam Sun managed to rescue her and had always been by her side as a female doctor .
Later on, when Su Yuyi married into the Third Prince’s residence, the Old Madam specially rewarded Lin Yuhan as a dowry maid and dispatched her to Su Yuyi . Back then, Su Yuyi had been able to quickly gain a foothold in the Third Prince’s residence and suppress his beloved concubine . It could be said that Lin Yuhan had contributed a lot, and even she had fallen into her trap many times .
Just as she was thinking this, she heard footsteps coming from the inner side . Doctor Lin walked out, “Reporting to Young Master and Young Misses, Miss Meng has indeed been scalded . Her injuries are quite severe . If she doesn’t take proper care of herself, she might leave behind scars . ”
Mu Yunyao abruptly raised her head, her clear eyes already filled with frost . Was she blatantly framing me?
The thoughts in her mind churned nonstop . Lin Yuhan definitely didn’t have the guts to do this on her own . It suddenly happened, so Su Yuyi and the Eldest Madam may not have time to make arrangements . Then, the most likely culprit would be the Old Madam, Madam Sun… . . . .
