Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

Chapter 104

Chapter 104 -The Cry of Phoenix

Mu Yunyao followed Lady Jin back to the backyard, where many people had already come to congratulate them.

The Governor's wife had a bright smile on her face. The reward did not belong to her, but Governor Zhang was rewarded with Lan Ling*. Lan Ling is a very auspicious reward for the officials. More importantly, this merit was obtained for free. How could she not be happy?

Lady Jin was also surrounded and congratulated. She has been bestowed with a 9th rank title. These people would sincerely congratulate her no matter how envious they were. The exchange of pleasantries continued for more than two hours before the Governor's wife arranged for everyone to take their seats.

Mu Yunyao's seat was on Lady Jin's side and many people smiled and nodded at her as they spoke.

Mu Yunyao's face carried 70% happiness and 30% fear. From beginning to end, she returned the greeting with a smile, causing Lady Jin, who was at the side, to sigh in admiration. This girl was so intelligent that it was frightening. She'd even been worried that she'd get carried away after receiving His Majesty's reward. It looked like she had worried for nothing.

The banquet was very lively, yet Mu Yunyao ate absentmindedly. The arrival of Su Qingwu caused her heart to beat wildly. Those memories of her life that had pressed into the depths of her memories began to surge up. As she thought about it, she felt an excruciating pain that pierced through her heart.

"Yunyao, why do you have such an ugly expression, does your hand hurt?" Lady Jin felt apologetic in her heart. When she came, she was too excited to notice that her hand was injured.

"It's nothing, just feeling a little depressed. Madam, you don't have to worry about me."

"If you feel uncomfortable, you can go to the yard to get some fresh air. There is a small garden nearby."

Mu Yunyao nodded, but didn't move and persisted until the end of the banquet.

At the door, Jin Lan and Jin Qiao stood by the side of the carriage. Upon seeing Mu Yunyao walk out with an unpleasant expression, they hurriedly went forward to support her. "Miss, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, let's go."

After getting on the carriage and leaning against the pillow, Mu Yunyao's face suddenly turned pale. She held her chest and took deep breaths. It was as if this could make the pain in her heart dissipate a little.

As the carriage passed the Jinling Bridge, Mu Yunyao couldn't help but call out to stop it. Clutching her chest, she ran over to the river bank to vomit.

Jin Lan and Ji Qiao were shocked, "Miss, what's wrong with you? Did you eat food you shouldn't eat?

She hadn't eaten much at the banquet, so she can't spit up anything right now, but she felt disgusted. After a while, she stood up and walked step by step towards Jinling Bridge.

"Miss?"

"I'll blow for a while. You guys wait below."

"...Yes, then young miss should be careful."

At this time, it was already late at night. The red mist hadn't completely disappeared and reflected on the surface of the river. The sparkling red light made it seem as if her entire body covered with blood from her memories.

When she thought of the Su Family, the hatred in her heart became difficult to control. That was a nightmare that enveloped her entire life, causing her to be unable to calm down at all.

Mu Yunyao closed her eyes and clenched her fist tightly. The wound on her palm torn, and her hand was instantly drenched in blood. If she were to meet her mother in this state, her mother would be so worried, so she had to work hard to adjust herself.

Mu Yunyao forced herself to think about the Su Family. She thought over and over again, rummaging out all of her fearful memories, playfully replaying them back in her mind...!

The pain in her palm overshadowed the pain in her heart, and her heart which was pierced by the arrival of Su Qingwu slowly began to be covered with a layer of armor, blocking her dripping wounds.

After a long while, Mu Yunyao finally opened her eyes. The sky had darkened, and the clouds had dispersed without a trace. She gently lifted the corner of her lips, and her smile was even more perfect and sweet than before.

If it wasn't for Su Qingwu's sudden appearance, she didn't know that other than hating the Su family, she was also keenly afraid. It is also good because she was aware of her fears and could slowly overcome it.

"Su Qingwu, Su Qingwu …" "Cicadas love the green grass, the phoenix loves high trees**. His ambitions are truly high …"

"I didn't expect Miss Mu to know the origin of my name." A voice filled with laughter suddenly rang out.

Mu Yunyao suddenly turned her head and saw Su Qingwu slowly walking over from the other side of the bridge with a gentle smile on his face. His voice was as soft as water and as warm as jade.

Su Qingwu also looked at Mu Yunyao. He had already been standing there for a long time, ever since Mu Yunyao had stepped down from the carriage. He had been standing on the other side of the road, looking at her.

He remembered his sister when she was thirteen. Although she had come to him all day to complain about the strict rules of Mammy's teachings, most of the time, she was happy and carefree. As for the young girl in front of him, she seemed to be doing her best to suppress something. That feeling was too intense. Just looking at her made his chest tighten, causing him to have the urge to investigate.

This kind of feeling came too suddenly. After a flash, he suppressed it and reminded himself that the girl in front of him would not have any interaction with him. There was no need to waste time on someone who was not significant. However, when he heard she call out his name, she even said Cicadas love the green grass, the phoenix loves high trees, he could not help but step onto the deck of the bridge.

Mu Yunyao bowed, "Greetings, Lord Su. The little girl spoke falsely, please forgive my offence."

Su Qingwu looked at her, and his eyebrows frown again. The person in front of him had a gentle aura and a slight smile on her lips. She looked no different from the other girls that he had seen and as if everything that had happened earlier had been an illusion of his own. "Miss Mu did not say anything wrong. What offence is that? My name does come from the two poems."

"Thank you, Lord, for your generosity. It's getting late. I should go home. Goodbye."

"I wonder when Miss Mu's palm injury will recover?" Su Qingwu asked with a smile on his face.

"Every time I get injured, my wounds heal very slowly. The weather right now is so hot as well. I think it should take at least half a month to recover. "

In another month, it would be the birthday of Su Qingwu's grandmother. By the time the wound on her hand had fully healed, it would be too late. Besides, she wants the injury to be even worse than it already was.

There were plenty of ways.

Sure enough, a trace of disappointment flashed across Su Qingwu's face. "What a pity, I once saw a double-sided embroidered screen. The embroidery work was astonishing as if it created by the heavens …"

Mu Yunyao's expression was the same as usual, "Then Lord Su can find the person who embroidered this screen to help. I think your grandmother will be even happier."

"A lot of people are looking for the person who embroidered the screen, but unfortunately, they haven't been able to find that person."

"That might be due to fate. It's getting late, and my mother is still waiting for me at home. This humble girl will take her to leave now." After Mu Yunyao finished speaking, she immediately turned around and left the bridge.

Su Qingwu moved his finger, looking at Mu Yunyao's departing back view. She did not say another word and had left in a hurry as if she was afraid of him. He was used to being sought after in the capital, but now he was suddenly despised by others and felt fresh.

Mu Yunyao got off the bridge, Jin Lan and Jin Qiao hurriedly came over.

Seeing that her face had returned to normal, they couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. "Miss, are you alright?"

"Nothing, let's go."
