Su Muge lifted her foot and kicked his wrist, making the stick fall to the ground.
“Since he has stolen your things, report to the officials. I believe the government will look into this. You’d better be prepared to explain clearly where the money was placed, what it looked like, when it was lost and when it was stolen by him, as well as where is the stolen money now. If you can’t tell, don’t blame the official for being rude to you!”
Hearing her words, Old Third Zhang turned surly. “Who are you, little bitch? Get out of here! Or I’ll hit you as well!”
Old Third Zhang raised the stick in his hand and slammed towards Su Muge. Just as the hidden secret guards wanted to stand out, Old Third Zhang had been covering his eyes and rolling on the ground in pain the next moment.
Secret guard A asked, “When did she take the action?”
Secret guard B shook his head. “I didn’t see it!”
Su Muge leisurely clapped he
In the Yangyi Palace of the Imperial Palace. “Your Majesty, Doctor Chen and Miss Su are here.” A little eunuch walked into the hall and whispered, for fear of disturbing Xia Hourui who was resting on the couch with his eyes closed. Concubine Qin was leaning against the couch and rubbing the legs for Xia Hourui; hearing the words, she revealed a flicker of harsh countenance in her beautiful eyes. Xia Hourui opened his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, “Let them in.” “Yes.” Concubine Qin looked at Xia Hourui with a smile. “Your Majesty, Miss Su is skilled in medicine. I believe she’ll help you recover.” Xia Hourui suddenly fainted during the competition of Su Muge and Zhang Yue three days ago. At that time, Concubine Qin highly recommended that Su Muge should treat Xia Hourui but she was stopped by Xia Houmo. Concubine Qin thought it would annoy Xia Hourui, but he seemed to b
Not until Su Muge returned to Peachblossom Courtyard did she take out the two invitations to the hunting party and put them on the table. At first glance, there was no difference between the two invitations, but a closer look revealed that the flowers inlaid in the lower right corner of the invitations were different. The invitation Madam Lin gave her was with a golden peony flower, but the invitation given to her by the little maid in the Palace was with a lunar white orchid. “Miss, these are invitations to the hunting party?” Yueru entered the room with tea and said in surprise at the sight of the invitation on the table. “You can recognize?” Yueru nodded. “I saw Yu’er of the second Miss show it off a few days ago, thus getting to know about it. Miss, I’ve heard from Yu’er that this hunting party invitation is extremely rare. Those who could attend are mostly nobles and official families of the cap
Su Muge stared at Xia Houmo who directly sat down in the carriage. After sitting down, Xia Houmo looked towards her. “Since you like this jade porcelain teapot patterned with birds paying homage to the phoenix so much, I’ll give it to you.” Su Muge looked down and found she was holding the teapot tightly as if she was reluctant to let it go. She put the teapot back onto the table embarrassedly. “Didn’t you just ride away?” Why did he come back?! Xia Houmo took the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea. “The weather is getting colder and I suddenly feel like riding the carriage.” Su Muge nodded. In the narrow space of the carriage, she always felt overwhelmed by the breath of Xia Houmo. Seeing her sitting in the corner like a kitten, Xia Houmo felt like teasing her. “Have you received the invitation to the hunting party?” The hunting party was t
When Su Muge and Zhao walked out of the door, Su Lun and An had already got into the carriage. Without many carriages in Su Mansion, Su Muge and Zhao could only sit in a carriage. The hunting party could be said to be an annual large-scale event in the noble circle in the capital. Every mansion with invitations must gather outside the Palace gate and set off for the hunting field outside the city in a unified formation. On the way from the capital to the outskirts of the city, there would be an activity of scattering copper coins and all common people present could pick them up. Su Lun’s official rank wasn’t high, so his carriages could only follow behind the carriages of those noble families. “Miss, the Emperor will attend the hunting party this year.” Xinlan, who was following the carriage outside, approached the curtain and whispered. Su Muge came out this time with two maids, Xinlan and Xinche, and left Yueru
Xia Houyin revealed a hint of anger in her eyes while watching Su Muge approaching slowly. Only after getting close did Su Muge notice that her riding suit was much similar to Xia Houyin’s. Except for the same color of bright red, their matching belts looked almost the same. Such a coincidence! Su Muge didn’t care, but Xia Houyin was unhappy. Especially when she saw the pattern of peacock tail on the corner of Su Muge’s eyes, she couldn’t help becoming jealous. “Besides your ugly face, you’re even scarier with that kind of disgusting thing on your eyes. Only you Su Muge can do this!” Su Muge didn’t want to argue with her. “I dare not to scare Your Royal Highness with my ugly face. Please excuse my departure.” Seeing that Su Muge really wanted to leave, Xia Houyin was in a sulk. “Su Muge, do you want to be driven out of the hunting field? Come back quickly!” O
“All of you go elsewhere to find the leopard.” “Yes.” After entering the hunting field, Xia Hourui ordered the officials to disperse, leaving only ten people to follow him. Xia Houmo and Xia Houkun followed Xia Hourui into the forest. “Father, look, it’s a leopard!” Xia Houkun pointed forward. Xia Hourui followed his line of sight and saw a leopard creeping in the grass. Judging from the gesture of the leopard, it was also waiting for a hunting opportunity. Xia Hourui stretched the bow in his hand to its utmost and aimed at the leopard which slowly looked towards him. Just as the arrow in Xia Hourui’s hand was about to be shot, the leopard suddenly rushed deep into the forest. “Hurry up! Disperse to encircle and catch it!” Xia Hourui was immediately interested and let everyone chase after the leopard. Xia Houkun rushed to the front, appearing to be the most earnest one.
Su Muge endured severe pain and climbed out of the dim house. Her antidote pill hidden in the hairpin had been taken away, so she was unable to deal with the poison in her body now! She was in a mountain forest, where it might be possible to find herbs to alleviate the toxicity. She only hoped that she was lucky enough not to encounter any beasts. But in a while, her forehead has already been covered with sweat beads and her hands were gradually covered with blood. “Howl, howl …” A low howl resounded in her ears; Su Muge became nervous suddenly. If one was out of luck, even water would plug one’s teeth! She slowly looked up and saw a pair of eyes glittering with a green light in the forest. It was a wolf! The wolf seemed to have sensed the weakness of the prey and quietly walked out of the forest towards Su Muge step by step. Su Muge closed her eyes. When she
Su Muge felt so cold as if she had been thrown into ice and snow and shivered. “Cold, so cold ...” Xia Houmo looked at the skinny girl shivering in his arms and slowly reached out to hug her. “Well…” Feeling the warm temperature of Xia Houmo, Su Muge hummed comfortably and stayed in his arms with a comfortable position. Xia Houmo put his thick palm gently on her thin shoulder. On touching her, he felt like getting an electric shock and held her more tightly into his arms. The moment when her small face pressed against his chest, he felt a warm current flowing towards his heart. It seemed nice if he could hold her like this forever. ... Su Muge felt a little bitter in her mouth and frowned uncomfortably. Gradually, she recovered her consciousness. “Look, she wakes up.” “Well!” Feeing a pain in the point between her thu
