“Eldest Miss is going to throw Young Master into the water. What are you waiting for? Go and stop her!” An’s face was ferocious and she tore apart her camouflage.
Her cold and piercing voice stimulated all the young and old maids around, and they all hurried towards Su Muge and circled her around.
Su Muge adjusted the position of little Wenmo in her arms.
“Miss, you go first with Young Master. I’ll stay and fight against them.” Yueru insisted on protecting Su Muge and her brother even though she was afraid herself. Her lips were trembling with fear.
“You are indeed very brave, but with your arms and legs thin like this, you’d better take Young Master with you and let me stay.” Su Muge put little Wenmo in Yueru’s arms, and kept them behind her.
“What are you doing? Hurry up and grab them!” An stared at Su Muge with her face twisted. She believed that with so many people stopping them, Su Muge would be defeated with the
“Miss, here we are.” Yueru jumped off the carriage first, and then helped Su Muge to get down.“Why, why haven’t you put on your veil cap today?!”When Su Muge raised her head, she saw Su Lun staring at her three steps away. Su Lun didn’t see her until now since he had been seated in his carriage before Su Muge had arrived at their gate back at home.She had worn her veil yesterday and he had felt everything was in normal. But now with that veil cap off and showing out her real face, it was too obvious for others to see her ugly dark red birthmark in the sun!“Come on! Take the veil hat out and help the eldest Miss to put it on!”The coldness and calmness in Su Muge’s eyes were not vulnerable towards the fury and dislike on Su Lun’s face. “Father, I did not take the veil hat with me.”“You, you...”The words were not finished when the butler of the Meng family, who had been waiting, came out a
Meng Xiuwen smiled at Su Muge with his misty amorous eyes looking at her, and sat in front of Su Muge like they were familiar with each other.Although Su Muge wanted to make a name for herself regarding her medical skills by taking advantage of the Meng Mansion, it didn’t mean she wanted to get much involvement with this family.She could easily tell the probe and doubt from Meng Xiuwen a short while ago. He was not such a simple person as he appeared.Just as Meng Xiuwen sat down, Su Muge stood up and stepped back to keep a certain distance from him.“The scenery here in the Meng Mansion is beautiful, I came here by accident. I didn’t mean to disturb Master Meng, I’ll leave.” Su Muge turned around and was about to go away.“It’s said that the eldest Miss Su could treat a person even without feeling the pulse?” Su Muge stopped gently, and realized that he was talking about the things happened between Men
Su Muge walked into Peachblossom Courtyard, and was surprised at the things in the room.There were new satins of the latest fashion, some fine desserts and lady’s stuff.Did Su Lun send these?“Eldest Miss, you’re back.” Yueru came in with a shiny quilt.“Where did these things come from?”“They were sent by Madam.”“Madam?”Su Muge raised her eyebrows. The quilt held by Yueru was the finest by its look. In the whole Su mansion only that family of three could use this kind of good fabric, An sent these to them now, how could she be so nice?“Yes, Madam said these were for the eldest Miss, our madam and the young master.”“Go over them carefully and keep them if you find nothing unusual.”Yueru nodded with understanding. “Don’t worry, Eldest Miss. I have looked over everything carefully. I also unpacked the quilt to check and found nothing wrong.”
“Pitter-patter, splash!” The rain was falling on the carriage with loud noises, just as those annoying things in Su Lun’s mind.Only half an hour ago, Meng Changde showed up at the Su mansion unexpectedly, asked him to bring Su Muge to his place for Old Lady Meng’s treatment, and implied that he could definitely help with his job promotion assessment.Su Lun had been considering about how to close his relationship with Meng Changde, and how could he expect such a good thing came to him itself!Rubbing his hands in the carriage, he tried hard to hide his excitement, which Su Muge still easily sensed from his eyes.Su Lun grabbed her on to the carriage before she could take a seat in the study room, and she had no idea where they were about to go.With a slight cough before he talked, Su Lun opened his mouth in a normal mood, and said, “Old Lady Meng suddenly felt sick tonight, and the imperial doctor came back with them
There were only Meng Changde and his wife, Eldest Madam Meng, in the Longevity Courtyard when Su Muge walked in.On the way, she was told by Meng Tiantian that her father had left for the prefecture yamen an hour ago. With an official position appointed, he could not easily get slack at his work.“Lord Meng and Eldest Madam Meng, my greetings to you.”“Eldest Miss Su, there’s no need to be too polite.” The smile on Meng Changde was gentle, and the face of Eldest Meng also showed tenderness.“Did you sleep well last night in the mansion?”“Yes, very well, Eldest Madam Meng. Thank you for asking.”An Mama opened the curtain and walked out the main room while they were greeting each other.“Lord Meng and Eldest Madam Meng, Old Lady is awake.”Meng Changde stood up. “Eldest Miss, please come with me and have a look at my mother.”Su Muge nodded. “Sure.”When
Nobody in the room was expecting Su Muge’s coming, and they were all stunned.An had her hand on Zhao as if there were very close sisters, which was actually opposite the fact.“Why didn’t you report the eldest Miss’s arrival?” An opened her mouth first.Su Muge went forward, bowed slightly, and explained, “I was walking too fast and the maids had no time to report. Please don’t blame them.”An put away her hand from Zhao, and was going to take the hand of Su Muge, yet Su Muge turned and sat on a chair cleverly to avoid any body contact with her.“Madam, how did you spare your time to come here today?”“Well, you sounded like I was not welcomed.”Saying this, An took a look at Zhao with her eyes a bit gloomy and harsh. Zhao began to feel uneasy.“Mumu, Madam An came to visit mother and your brother.”Su Muge’s eyes on An were indifferent. She started to wonder about A
In a room with dim light, two figures were sitting opposite each other.Guima looked at Xia Houmo with coziness, playing with a tea cup in his hand.On the other side, the face of Xia Houmo was cold as ice, with the chill around him preventing any stranger from coming nearby.“Achoo!” Guima rubbed his nose with his hand. He had used too much scented soap and the smell was a bit aggressive.“So Lord, what do you want me here for?”“I was poisoned.”“What?” Guima jumped up to his feet, with his laziness look disappeared within one second, he walked behind Xia Houmo and felt his pulse.His face was now in seriousness.“You were poisoned by the Red Blaze!”Without many expressions on his face, Xia Houmo took his hand back.“Yes.”“When was that?”“About half a month ago.”After he heard about the answer, Guima frowned an
After a moment of pause, Su Muge turned her head and looked at Meng Xiuwen.“Eldest Mast Meng, what else?”A few days ago, the Meng family had sent someone to tell her that she didn’t need to go to the Meng mansion anymore for treating Old Lady Meng. On that day, Su Muge had given the person a note to take back. And then here was the meeting between her and Meng Xiuwen.“My grandma...” Meng Xiuwen wanted to explain to her why they had stopped her treatment for Old Lady. However, at this moment, he suddenly felt that there was no need for it, since in either way, she would take it as an excuse of them wanting to get rid of the Su family.“Eldest Master Meng, there’s no need to talk about it. The Meng family has already done me a great favor.” Su Muge raised the little box in her hand and explained. She treated Old Lady Meng, and the Meng family helped her find the things she needed. Now, they owed each other nothing.“G
