Chapter 104
If An Wang got into an accident or if the Emperor trusted An Wang more than her grandfather one day, grandfather would be in danger. She absolutely could not allow such a situation happen.
She was too stupid in her previous life. When grandfather was in trouble in Nanjiang, An Wang passed away. That happened after Shangguan LingRan’s whereabouts were unknown.
According to reason, the anti-miasma drug mother left for grandfather and uncle shouldn’t be problematic. But they clearly got into trouble. What happened?
The more Zi You thought, the more scared she became. She finally stood up and walked towards grandfather’s study. Only Zi You and Mu Ying Yi could enter Old General Mu’s study. Even Née Liu could not enter.
Therefore, the guards saw her, but did not block her and let her go inside.
Zi You went inside and saw grandfather smoking a pipe. She knew his heart was troubled and her heart ached.
Grandfather usually never smoked, because grandmother did not want to see grandfather smoke when she was alive. Grandfather did not listen. Only when grandmother passed away, did he give up smoking.
He would only smoke again if he was troubled by something or right before a battle when he needed to come up with a battle plan.
This was not before a battle. The only thing that could make grandfather troubled was her matters.
She walked over and took the pipe. She said loveably, “Grandfather, if you’re not obedient, I won’t care about you anymore.”
As long as Old General Mu saw his good granddaughter, he would be full of joy. His troubled mood also improved a lot.
He lovingly patted her head and smiled. “Change into male clothing. Accompany grandfather for a walk.”
“Okay.” She gladly answered and went to change clothes.
The clothes were changed and the two were about to leave when they encountered Yu Lanxuan.
Yu Lanxuan saw Zi You and it was like she met a good friend she hadn’t seen for hundreds of years. She ran over affectionately and excitedly. “Jiejie looks really good in male clothing! Where is jiejie and grandfather going?”
Zi You thought about what Weishali told her. She smiled splendidly and said, “You came, Xuan meimei? I haven’t thought about where to go yet.”
She looked meaningfully at Old General Mu and cutely said, “Grandfather, why don’t we go to Duke Yongnan fu? Granddaughter always felt sorry to Shizi Ye (Zhao HongXiang) for the matters last time. Although it was not granddaughter’s fault, but Aunt Chen [Duke Yongnan furen] seems to still be blaming granddaughter. Let’s go visit them and untie this knot. After all, you and the Duke are good friends.”
Although Old General Mu did not know what his granddaughter was planning, from looking at her expression, he knew she was scheming something.
The little yatou hanging onto Zi You seemed to be Née Wang’s [Wang Yiping] niece. Née Liu told him everything that happened at Duke Anguo fu. It seemed like this little yatou was not some good person.
Old General Mu nodded in understanding. “That’s good. Grandfather wanted to look for Duke Yongnan to beat him in chess. Let’s go to his fu.”
Zi You immediately smiled brilliantly. “Then wait for me, grandfather. I will change into female clothing.”
She then smiled at Yu Lanxuan. “Please wait, meimei. I will change clothes and come back.”
“Okay,” Yu Lanxuan answered, as she curtsied to Old General Mu. She sweetly cried out, “Xuan’er pays respects to grandfather. Wishing grandfather good fortune!”
“En.” Old General Mu coldly grunted and didn’t talk to her anymore. He looked down on and didn’t care about such a deep-minded and spineless child.
Zi You was very fast. She came back with a bunch of tender and beautiful Chinese roses. She then said to Yu Lanxuan, “Do you want to come, meimei? If you don’t want to come, you can look for me next time.”
“I’m coming, I’m coming,” Yu Lanxuan quickly replied. She couldn’t wait to go over and grab Zi You’s arms.
Zi You secretly despised her, but had a spring-like and elegant smile on her face. “Does meimei know Duke Yongnan Shizi?”
A handsome young man appeared in Yu Lanxuan’s mind. Her small face flushed and she lightly shook her head. “I’ve seen him once or twice, but we’ve never met or spoken.” Zi You handed the flowers to her. “Then you take this and say that you’re giving this to Shizi Ye. After all, this is your first time going there. It’s not good to go empty-handed......”
“Ouch!” The words weren’t finished when Yu Lanxuan cried out. Her eyes immediately teared up. “They pricked my hand.”
Old General Mu saw that she shed tears because she was pricked by flowers. He couldn’t watch anymore. He scolded, “So delicate! Being pricked by flowers, what is there to cry about? This should be......”
“Grandfather.” Zi You cutely hugged her Old General Mu’s arm. She softly rebuked and fiercely winked. “Xuan meimei is not like your strong soldiers. How can she be that valiant?”
Old General Mu looked at Yu Lanxuan with contempt. Then he looked at his granddaughter, revealing a proud smile. His granddaughter really deserved to be cherished. In order to learn medicine, she stabbed needles into her arms every day without even frowning.
In order to learn martial arts, she slept at midnight almost every night. Before dawn, she followed up him the mountain. Only he knew how hard she worked.
But the yatou didn’t complain. When she saw that he was distressed, she immediately smiled and comforted. “Grandfather, You’er is your granddaughter. If I can’t even stand this little bit of pain, then I don’t deserve to be called the ‘Invincible War God’s’ granddaughter.”
Did you hear? Our Mu family descendants carry an air of pride bone-deep! Except for that bastard, Mu YingRui.
Yu Lanxuan was scared by Old General Mu until her face whitened. She had some regrets about following them to Duke Yongnan fu. Why did this old fool shout so loudly? No wonder aunt [Wang Yiping] was afraid of him.
She hated Mu Zi You, but after being yelled at by the old fool, it was not only embarrassing, but she was extremely scared
Zi You saw Yu Lanxuan shrunk behind her and smilingly comforted. “There, there. Grandfather loves deeply and reprimands deeply. He teaches you because he likes you. Don’t be afraid, meimei. I have some ointment here. Rub it on your wound and it won’t hurt anymore.”
“No, no. It’s alright, it’s alright,” Yu Lanxuan hurriedly refused. She secretly thought, “Who knows what you put in the ointment?’
Zi You immediately guessed what she was thinking about. She couldn’t help but secretly sneer. There was nothing in the ointment, but something good was smeared on the Chinese roses. When we arrive at Duke Yongnan fu, if I don’t have you cheap wench make a fool of yourself, I will be letting you off too easily.
At Duke Yongnan fu, Zhao HongXiang laid in bed with his knee hurting. He was overjoyed once he heard that Zi You was here to visit him.
She was wearing a light green dress, with white lilies embroidered in silver thread on the hem. A few butterflies danced on top of the flowers. They moved with Zi You’s light footsteps. She was fresher and more refined than flowers.
Zi You had learned from Duke Yongnan that his knee was in pain and that he was feverish. The wound had turned red and started to fester.
Zi You pretended to ask in concern, “Xiang gege, uncle said your knee hurts. What’s the matter? The last time I saw you, everything was okay. Why does it suddenly hurt?”
Zhao HongXiang saw that Zi You was worried about him and he smiled from ear to ear. A pair of peach blossom eyes looked affectionately and charmingly at her. His voice was full of tenderness. “Don’t worry, You meimei. The doctor took a look and said it was a poisonous snake bite. The blood clogged which led to a poisonous sore. I’m taking medication. I’ll probably get better in a few days. I’ll go see you when I’m better.”
Better in a few days? Dream on! I smeared poisonous mushroom and flesh-rotting drugs on the Silver Light Rain. How can you get better so soon? This time, I will have you almost die of pain and your leg half-crippled. Then I can proceed with the next step of my plan for vengeance.
Wait for the poppy to devour your soul. When you can’t leave me, then I will use you to torture Yu Lanxuan.
You slag couple. I will return all of the sufferings from my past life back to you, thousands- and tens of thousands-fold.
The hatred in Zi You’s heart was wildly burning. Her face was innocent and naïve. She clapped her soft little hands together and happily said, “Really? Then you must get better soon and take me and Xuan meimei to fly kites.”
She pulled Yu Lanxuan over and introduced, “This is Xuan meimei. She heard that I was coming here to see you and wanted to come too, so I brought her here. Xiang gege, you won’t blame me, right? Oh, she also brought you flowers.”
Yu Lanxuan was young, but following her yiniang and actress grandmother, knew lots of ways to seduce men.
She was only twelve years old, three months older than Zi You, but had the seductive charm of an adult. She twisted and curtsied to Zhao HongXiang. She said cutely and sweetly, “Xuan’er pays respects to Shize Ye. Wishing Shizi Ye a quick recovery! Can Xuan’er change the flowers for you?”
She twisted her waist and buttocks and lifted her notyet-developed chest upwards. Zi You couldn’t help but want to laugh.
Zi You glanced at Zhao HongXiang. Indeed, his furtive eyes were focused on Yu Lanxuan’s chest and thigh area, revealing an interested and lewd gaze.
Just like in the previous life, he was a lecherous wolf in human skin.
At this time, Yu Lanxuan felt strange. A tingling feeling spread throughout her body. She didn’t know what was going on. Her heart rate sped up; her blood flow accelerated, and her body felt hot. That itchy and numb feeling made her want to moan and strip naked. She wanted to pounce on Zhao HongXiang and make a mess with him.
At that moment, her back was facing Zi You. She kept sending coquettish glances at Zhao HongXiang, trying to seduce him. She stretched out her tongue and licked her small blood red lips.
It was like she was possessed. She didn’t seem like a twelve-year-old little guniang at all. She was more like a prostitute in a brothel.
Zhao HongXiang was originally lustful and already familiar with the intimate relationship between man and woman. Looking at Yu Lanxuan’s current appearance, how could he not know what her intentions were?
For a time, his heart was feeling excited and frisky. He was absent-minded even when Zi You was talking to him. He quietly looked at Yu Lanxuan. He didn’t even notice when Zi You left.
