The Aloof Prince Chapter 38 - House Fight
Out of the back door, Mu Yunjin quietly climbed on top of a tree, concealing her entire figure, above she surveyed the area and looked at the figures coming and going. Soon, Mu Yunjin saw Aunt Li that sly evil spirit, appear from the back door, from time to time she look around, then casually moved forward to a secluded alley. Seeing this scene, Mu Yunjin hooked up her lips to a smile, then she jumped down from the tree and followed behind Aunt Li. Following Aunt Li, Mu Yunjin discovered that Aunt Li intentionally moved around in a circle, pa.s.sing through the small alley, Aunt Li is now going to the direction of the palace. Seeing that no one is around, Mu Yunjin did not tarry and immediately spiraled to stand behind Aunt Li and whacked Aunt Li on the nape, Aunt Li did not manage to react. Aunt Li fainted, Mu Yunjin searched Aunt Li`s body, after a while she felt something on Aunt Li`s sleeves and fished out a slip of paper. Seeing the contents of the paper, Mu Yunjin laughed with contempt, then crumpled the piece of paper in her hands. Sure enough, the mother and daughter are restless. She shoot a glance topwards Aunt Li on the ground, Mu Yunjin gave a penetrating look at this wicked servant who follows Su Biqing do bad things, she should let her have a taste some sufferings. Mu Yunjin tore a strip of Aunt Li`s outer clothes, then used it to tie Aunt Li`s hands and feet and another piece of cloth to stuff on Aunt Li`s mouth. Then she dragged Aunt Li all the way to the back door of the Xiang Fu, towards the dog ring and left her there. After settling Aunt Li`s matter, Mu Yunjin then went towards the kitchen.
.........
Night fell, it is time for the Xiang Fu`s dinner, Mu Xiang`s people invited Mu Yunjin to come and dine with them. During the meal, Su Biqing and Mu Lingzhu are especially intimate towards Mu Yunjin, from time to time they will help her place food on her plate, and told Mu Yunjin to eat some more. At the side Mu Xiarou saw this and can`t help but look at her own mother Luo Ningyu, She too looked at the scene but did not speak and ate silently.
“Yunjin, you thinned a lot, eat some more.”
Su Biqing helped Mu Yunjin put food on her plate. Mu Yunjin smiled towards Su Biqing and said.
“Thank you mother.”
The atmosphere during the evening meal is especially harmonious, even Mu Xiang felt that it had been along time since it was this comfortable and in this situation he even felt that Yunjin is being good.
“Mother this time I let you be worried, here eat a little bit.”
Mu Yunjin said while she put some pork cutlets toward Su Biqing`s bowl. Then added a piece of chicken meat towards Mu Lingzhu.
“Mei mei you eat some too.”
The two people upon seeing this secretly looked at each other with a knowing smile, before eating the very dish Mu Yunjin gave them. Mu Yunjin saw it and her eyes slightly smiled, then leaning on her chair she heedlessly sc.r.a.ped hard enough to remove the crimson powder on her fingernail. After some time the original mocking faces of Su Biqing and Mu Lingzhu changed, their complexion a little dark, they furrowed their eyebrows, feeling a little uncomfortable, touching their stomach. Soon their complexion became deathly pale, Su Biqing laid down her chopsticks, and faced Mu Xiang.
“Lao Ye, my stomach seems a little unwell, I will go first.”Mu Lingzhu also seconded.
“Father, my stomach is also feeling unwell.”After saying those words the two did not wait for Mu Xiang`s reply and very fast they began to run hurriedly not minding their image. Mu Xiang seeing this, furrowed his eyebrows pondering a bit.
..........
Inside the Ascending Flower Pavilion.
“Zi Xiang, quickly help me wipe this unsightly thing.”Mu Yunjin stretched her finger, Zi Xiang holding a hairpin to help Mu Yunjin to sc.r.a.pe off the red powder on her fingernail.Zi Xiang lightly sc.r.a.ped Mu Yunjin`s fingernail and can`t help but ask.
“Miss, isn`t this crimson powder just been applied this afternoon? It has not been long but you already don`t like it.”Mu Yunjin heard Zi Xiang and winked at her.
“It is to conceal the croton seed powder ah. At the moment, Su Biqing and Mu Lingzhu I guess they are almost collapse from dehydration, tonight they are missing a peaceful sleep.”Mu Yunjin smiled slyly, this two person dared to scheme against her so why can`t she return the favor to them. Zi Xiang heard Mu Yunjin and is reminded of being smashed by eggs, she can`t help but agree.
“They really deserved it.”“It is not just Su Biqing, the mother daughter pair`s only sins, They conveniently took Aunt Zhang, that enmity I must pay back. They do not know yet that Aunt Li right now is in the dog ring living comfortably.”Zi Xiang was alarmed, she looked at Mu Yunjin in surprise, then with a thumbs up, she exclaimed.
“Miss, you are extremely black bellied.”“Where is this?”Mu Yunjin laughed mischievously.
..........
Early morning, the next day. From outside the Ascending Flower Pavilion, Zi Xiang came running inside, she looked at the person sitting on the patio eating the morning meal, Mu Yunjin with a smile.
“Miss, earlier within the Fu, they already sent for a doctor to examine the two, Da Furen and Fourth Miss, they said that last night they had diarrhea until early this morning, unable to endure their body collapsed.”Mu Yunjin drank some more Red Bean Congee before laying down her spoon and wiped her mouth.
“Let us go and watch the excitement.”“Yes Miss.”Mu Yunjin led the way to the Blue Sky Courtyard, at this moment Mu Xiang is still in the Palace, therefore inside the Blue Sky Courtyard, aside from the doctor, there are only two to three young maidservants. Su Biqing is fed some sweetened water and has already woken up, her face still pale, she laid on the couch her forehead laced with cold sweat.
“Doctor, how is my mother?”Mu Yunjin went inside Su Biqing`s bedroom, and asked for the diagnosis. The doctor got up and bowed in ceremony towards Mu Yunjin, then he opened his mouth to speak.
“Da Furen has mistakenly ate a lot of croton seed, that led to diarrhea, fortunately it was discovered early, so long as she the prescribed medicine, and take care of her health, there would be no problem.”“Thank you for your trouble doctor, that matter should not be delayed, give me mother`s prescription.”The doctor nodded, he turned towards his medicine box and walked out.
“You, go with the doctor to make the prescribed medicine, Mother I am here.”Mu Yunjin commanded the maidservants on the room. The maidservants heard her words of comfort, they all went out. Immediately inside the big room only the two of them were left.
“It has been just one night and how did mother become thin and pale like this. This appearance will truly make a person feel sorry.”Mu Yunjin looked straight at Su Biqing on the couch with a smiling expression. Su Biqing looked to the side only to see Mu Yunjin`s laughing face full of mockery, she can`t help but snort.
“This little s.l.u.t, this matter is your doing to harm me right?”“Harm you? You certainly accuse wrongly, although I am not a good person, I will never harm a person for no reason at all.”Mu Yunjin then looked around, then her line of sight fell once again to Su Biqing.
“That`s strange, how come I don`t see Aunt Li, doesn`t she always accompany you in the past?”Speaking of Aunt Li, Su biqing`s heart went cold, she recalled that yesterday she sent Aunt Li out, and until now she had not yet seen Aunt Li. In her heart, from time to time have lingering fear while looking at the person standing in front of her the smiling face of Mu Yunjin, Su Biqing suddenly felt her blood run cold, and had a bad feeling.
“You have Aunt Li?”Hearing this, Mu Yunjin hooked up her lips to a smile, inside her sleeves she took out a crumpled note and threw it in front of Su Biqing`s face. Her cold voice sounded.
“The rumors on the street, it was you right? Letting people throw eggs at me, it was you right?”Hearing Mu Yunjin`s words, Su Biqing`s eyes became evasive, her heart filled with un-reconciled anger, she did not expect that now she is unable to dispose of Mu Yunjin.
Really d.a.m.n!
“Where did you take Aunt Li?”Su Biqing does not believe that Mu Yunjin have the guts to take Aunt Li`s life.
“Not far, she is inside the Fu in the dog ring, okay!”Mu Yunjin then got up to leave.
.........
Going out of the Blue Sky Courtyard, Mu Yunjin thought of that terrorized Su Biqing lying on the couch, she can`t help but feel her mood become a little bit better. She had not walked far when Mu Xiang arrived walking fast. When he saw Mu Yunjin he stopped to ask Mu Yunjin.
“How is your mother?”“The doctor said that she got sick because of bad food, she just needs to drink the prescribed medicine and rest for a few days then she`ll be fine.”Mu Yunjin replied to Mu Xiang pretending to be a well behaved child.Mu Xiang nodded, then he prepared to leave, but suddenly turned back as if reminded of something, he looked towards Mu Yunjin.
“That`s right, just now after the Imperial Court, I met the ninth princess, she told me to pa.s.s on to you that she is inviting you today at Wu s.h.i.+ (11am to 1pm) to meet at Fragrant Restaurant to dine together.”“Good, daughter knows.”After bidding Mu Xiang farewell, Mu Yunjin`s eyebrow raised a little, thinking of Chu Qingyuan`s invitation she can`t help but smile gently, the last time she met that girl, her personality and character is pretty good, she like that person. Wu s.h.i.+ (11am to 1pm) Mu Yunjin punctually showed up in Fragrant Restaurant. After entering the restaurant, Mu Yunjin is escorted towards the third floor inside a private room. The waiter opened the door, upon looking inside she saw several figures, Mu Yunjin slightly hesitated. Inside the private room, there is not only Chu Qingyuan but also Chu Li. Today, Chu Li is again wearing a purple robes, sitting quietly there he looks picturesque, his whole body exudes dazzling and elegant atmosphere, it lets a person unable to move their eyes.
“Sixth sister-in law, you`ve arrived ah, come take a seat.”Chu Qingyuan beckoned Mu Yunjin to sit on her side. Mu Yunjin nodded, she can`t help but glance towards the purple figure before sitting down on the seat Chu Qingyuan pointed. Chu Qingyuan politely helped Mu Yunjin pour a cup of tea.
“Sixth sister-in law, it has been half a month since I saw you, how are you?”Mu Yunjin sipped some tea, once again out of the corner of her eyes she glanced at the person on her right side, before chuckling.
“At the house, fighting.” At the side, Chu Li heard Mu Yunjin`s concise and comprehensive words, he raised his eyes and pursed his lips forming a faint curve.
“Oh, That`s right, Sixth sister-in law I heard that yesterday you were on the streets and got thrown with smelly eggs?”
Hi guys~
I still don`t feel satisfied with how Mu Yunjin settled this. I might have been corrupted by the satisfying multiple slaps in Genius Doctor:BBM with the gore included XD.
Yunjin`s Revenge Strategy 101:
1. The use of Croton Seed
Croton seed is highly toxic, and is considered one of the most potent purgative herbs in traditional Chinese medicine. It is used in powder form and oil form. (Fact)
According to Yunjin, it is easy to use powder form, she can stuck it on her fingernails and easily pour to foods and it is non greasy too. The oil is too sticky and she will need to dip her finger to foods which is too obvious.
2. Taking the dog (Aunt Li) where she belongs... with the dogs. Due to the sensitivity of the topic no pictures are shown. The Dogs Society have expressed their utmost plea that Aunt Li is an insult to their kind and is therefore temporarily thrown out until the next time she appears in the novel.
