Chapter 67
Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse
There was a sudden uproar on the street . In these years, the common people had no chance to get relief from the heat . When they heard that Yu Linglong was willing to give ice away for free, they immediately started to act .
The people used kitchen knives for selling vegetables, axes for chopping firewood, and those who had no tools picked up rocks from the ground and rushed up and smashed it, and the ground was suddenly full of crushed ice .
The poor, crystal clear, and well-crafted ice sculpture was smashed into pieces in the blink of an eye .
In the chaos, a burgundy horse with a shiny mane came along the street . Seeing how lively it was, the smile on his face suddenly grew, and he lightly twitched their horse’s hips and galloped in .
“Linglong, do you like this gift?”
Lord Xu was dressed in a moon-white gown with a white jade crown on his head . His starry eyes were shining, he was in high spirits, and his handsome smile was more dazzling than the sun .
At this moment, he only saw Yu Linglong standing at the gate and glaring at him, but he hadn’t realized that he had hit the horse’s leg .
Leaning over and picking up a fist-sized ice cube, Yu Linglong raised her hand and slammed it at Lord Xu!
With a bang, the ice cube hit Lord Xu’s crown with great accuracy, and the white jade crown was instantly smashed and fell to the ground in fragments!
“If you bother me again, I’ll blow your head off!”
With an extremely angry voice, Yu Linglong was full of anger, and vented it towards Lord Xu!
Lord Xu was taken aback . Before he could dismount, he was already hit with another ice cube on his shoulder . Only then did he realize that he offended Yu Linglong again this time .
While avoiding the ice cube that Yu Linglong threw over, Lord Xu said as if begging for mercy: “Linglong, I know it was wrong! Please forgive me!”
The farce of a beautiful woman beating a handsome man was obviously rare . The people who were taking the ice all looked sideways at the excitement, and soon, someone recognized Lord Xu .
“Oh, isn’t this Prince Xu?”
Lord Xu often walked his horses in the street late at night, disturbing every household with noise, and he had long become a notorious loiterer in the capital . Now that Yu Linglong was smashing ice on him, he was dodging but not daring to fight back, even his mouth did not dare to do so, and everyone suddenly talked .
No one thought that someone could cure such a demon!
Seeing Lord Xu being beaten by Yu Linglong and not fighting back, everyone’s whispers were mixed with ambiguous laughter .
“I heard that this little prince has taken a fancy to the Fourth Lady in the Yu house, and he sent her this ice sculpture!”
“It’s no wonder that our street has been a lot quieter recently . As it turns out, Prince Xu was having fun elsewhere!”
Hearing the comments made by others, Yu Linglong became even more annoyed, and the strength in her hand became greater and greater . Large and small ice cubes went straight to Lord Xu and finally smashed Lord Xu and he fled in defeat .

“Linglong, don’t be angry, I will make amends soon!”
Lord Xu hurriedly turned his horse around and fled the gate of the Yu house .
Holding an ice cube in her hand, Yu Linglong looked bitterly at the back of Lord Xu .
The ice cube hurt her hand, and it cooled her, but it couldn’t extinguish the raging anger in Yu Linglong’s heart .
What was wrong with this guy? He didn’t leave when he was beaten, he didn’t leave when he was scolded—was he a m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t??
A brave citizen came forward: “Miss, are you still giving away this ice cube?”
Yu Linglong slammed the ice cube on the ground and said bitterly: “Take it! Take it all quickly!”
…
Yu Linglong returned to Pinlan Garden and sat down at the table angrily, apparently still mad .
Ling’er served some sour plum soup cautiously: “Miss, have a drink to help your anger . ”
The cold and refreshing sour plum soup finally suppressed Yu Linglong’s anger a little . Ling’er exchanged glances with Xuan Cao and changed the subject with a smile: “Did you hear? Concubine Mei moved to the inner courtyard today . ”
Yu Linglong put down the bowl and said, “Why did she move in?”
Ling’er said: “I heard that the wife arranged it personally . ”
Looking at Ling’er with a deep smile, Yu Linglong remembered something, and she couldn’t help but laugh: “This time the old woman has really learned to behave . She was hurt like that, so she didn’t forget to arrange this . ”
Because of Concubine Lan’s affairs, General Yu whipped Mu Shi . Even Yu Qianjiao suffered miserably . Not only did she suffer in the flesh, but General Yu identified her as the poisonous woman who killed his concubine . Her status in the Yu house plummeted .
If the woman in the house did not have the support and love of her husband, even if she didn’t have the love of the wife, what use was it, her status was not as good as a favored concubine .
Mu Shi must be aware of this, so even though she was bedridden, she still did not forget to arrange Concubine Mei’s living situation . She was showing how good she was to General Yu in a disguised manner in order to obtain General Yu’s forgiveness .
Unexpectedly, the farce arranged by Yu Linglong finally made Concubine Mei a blessing in disguise and she moved into the inner courtyard without fail .
Yu Linglong drank the sour plum soup and said, “Let’s live our lives behind closed doors . Just look at the other things . ”
Concubine Mei moved into the inner courtyard, and there should be no harm to Yu Linglong . On the one hand, when Mu Shi had a new enemy to deal with, it would naturally distract from Yu Linglong; on the other hand, Concubine Mei entered the house . This must also have a certain check and balance effect on Mu Shi .
Yu Linglong leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and let Xuan Cao fan her gently . Suddenly, a thoughtless sentence came out: “If that guy does anything in the future, don’t tell me!”
Lord Xu had one idea on the left and another on the right, changing his tricks every day . She had no time to toss with him, and she couldn’t afford to be idle!
Xuan Cao held back her laugh and responded in a low voice .
Was her lady really unhappy? Lord Xu wanted to have looks and status . It is rare to be infatuated with a young lady . In spite of all kinds of arguments, why is the young lady reluctant to accept it?
It was fine to not accept it, but the att.i.tude towards others was bad . She opened her mouth to scold, raised her hand to hit; fortunately, the lord had a good temper, otherwise what man could stand it?
Yu Linglong listened to the low voice of Xuan Cao, and she couldn’t help but sweep her eyes coldly, and said in a deep voice, “You think it’s funny?”
Xuan Cao sighed and hurriedly reduced her smile: “I wouldn’t dare say that . ”
Yu Linglong didn’t stand upright, but Ling’er ran in at this time: “Miss, a lot of people came from outside the house asking if we have any ice cubes to give away?”
Yu Linglong was so annoyed that she threw the teacup: “Give what away!? Send them all out!”
Ling’er was petrified and didn’t know what it was for . She saw Xuan Cao waving her hands behind Yu Linglong, and had to retreat inexplicably .
