~ RETURNING TO THE CAPITAL, SU YUYI WAS SERIOUSLY ILL ~
Mu Yunyao slightly raised her eyes. Seeing that Su Yaxian wasn’t willing to speak up and tell the truth, she didn’t try to force it out, “Cousin Yaxian’s injuries are quite serious. I’ll get someone to bring some easily digest congee over, and Cousin will be better off after eating it. The medicine will be ready later, so someone will send it over.”
“Little Sister Yunyao, was you who took care of me last night?”
“Your injuries are quite severe, and you don’t have a maid by your side. It’s not convenient for the Imperial Physician to help you with your wounds, so I’m the only one who can help.”
“Thank you very much.” Su Yaxian lowered her eyes. She had a complicated feeling in her heart. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to tell Mu Yunyao the truth, but it involved the Sixth Princess, Su Qingwu, and Zhang Wan. She was afraid that if she said something wrong, it would lead to a fatal disaster.
“It’s just a small matter. Cousin, you don’t have to worry about it. Just take care of your injuries, and don’t ever start burning again.”
“Alright.”
Su Yajing and Su Yaling had already gotten up and returned to this tent. Seeing this, Mu Yunyao started to leave.
Some people had already started loading their luggage onto the carriages, and the guards had begun packing up the tent nearby. It seemed that they would have to return to the Capital as planned today.
Jin Lan helped Mu Yunyao get some water to freshen up, and Si Shu went out to inquire about the news.
After Mu Yunyao finished eating, the Si Shu rushed back, “Miss, I heard that Miss Zhang is not well, has been groggy since long ago, and hasn’t woken up. Moreover, last night, the Sixth Princess didn’t go after some white fox, but she rather saw a wolf cub. She thought it was interesting and shot him. Unexpectedly, she would attract a pack of wolves. Miss Zhang actually shouldn’t have been injured so badly. Eldest Young Master had already put her and the Sixth Princess on horseback, but he didn’t think that … The Sixth Princess pushed her down. ”
Mu Yunyao frowned, “No wonder when I asked Cousin Yaxian today, she faltered and was unwilling to speak the truth. She only said that she couldn’t remember clearly, so it turned out that there was still this problem.”
Jin Lan was full of surprise when she heard this. “That Sixth Princess is too audacious. Miss Zhang is the direct descendant of the Great Scholar’s residence. Furthermore, she is engaged to Eldest Young Master. The marriage is about to end in a few months. If people were know that she push people away like this...”
“Jin Lan!” Mu Yunyao opened her mouth to stop her, “Treat these words as if you’ve never heard of them before. Don’t leak a single word, otherwise even I wouldn’t be able to protect you.” The Emperor would definitely ban the actions of the Sixth Princess, and Zhang Wan could only be injured to protect the Sixth Princess.
Jin Lan hurriedly replied, “Yes,this servant understand. Please rest assured, Miss.”
Mu Yunyao nodded, “Let’s start packing up. We should be leaving soon.”
After about an hour, everyone packed their luggage and prepared to leave. As soon as Mu Yunyao came to the carriage, she saw the pale-faced Su Qingwu approaching her. He was bloody, and his eyes were much deeper than before: “Yunyao, how about Yaxian?”
“Cousin Yaxian’s shoulder is severely injured. However, if she well rested, it should not leave any traces behind. If Cousin Qingwu is really worried about her, you can go visit her yourself.” Why come here and listen to her?
Su Qingwu opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but he then saw the Eldest Madam walking over, her face filled with an anxious look. “Qingwu, why are you here? Why aren’t you accompanying the Sixth Princess?”
“Mother, the Sixth Princess has been taken care of.”
“However, the Sixth Princess was quite frightened. Since you weren’t by her side, her entire body started to tremble. She was expressly afraid, so it would be best for you to go over and guard her.” After the Eldest Madam finished speaking, she glared fiercely at Mu Yunyao. This slut had harmed Su Yuyi, so she definitely couldn’t let her ruin Qingwu’s future.
Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but sneer, “Since Eldest Aunt and Cousin have something to talk about, then I’ll get on the carriage first.” Then, she held Jin Lan’s hand and walked up.
The Eldest Madam glanced at Su Qingwu warningly. “Qingwu, go and do what you have to do.”
“Mother, Zhang Wan is seriously injured. According to etiquette, you should go to visit her.”
The Eldest Madam’s face stiffened. She paused for a moment before nodding her head. “I understand. Your father and I will naturally take care of the matter regarding Zhang Wan. You just have to concentrate on taking care of the Sixth Princess.”
Su Qingwu took a deep breath as a look of struggle flashed in his eyes. In the end, he chose to endure. After bowing to the Eldest Madam, he then walked towards the direction of the Sixth Princess’ carriage.
Mu Yunyao watched Su Qingwu leave through the gap of the carriage’s curtain, her smile becoming more and more mocking, “The eldest son of the aristocratic family, which attracted countless women to sought after. His appearance is bright and beautiful, but in reality, he is just a chess piece to the Eldest Madam’ to achieve her ambitions. He can only be manipulated and managed by her. It is really sad to the extreme.
Perhaps it was because the Sixth Princess was injured and couldn’t suffer any bumps, so the speed of her return was quite slow. When she finally managed to enter the city, it was already the middle of the night.
