Nee Chens voice was filled with resentment. But my son and Laoye particularly like her and must have her marry over. Im out of ideas. If you do me a favor and have my son ruin her innocence so that she has no choice but to marry him as a concubine, then I will find a way to make Lanxuan my sons main wife.

Wang Yiping was extremely happy, but she was afraid that Nee Chen was lying to her.

Thus, she ruefully smiled and shook her head. She sighed, Ai Why does it sound like me, the stepmother, isnt liked by her daughter? In fact, Im aggrieved to death. I actually treat Youer much better than Xuaner. But no matter what I do, Youer doesnt appreciate it. I really dont know what to do.

Nee Chen secretly twisted her lips. She was internally black-belly. She still wants to build a chastity monument? Who doesnt know your intentions? Youre still pretending with me?

Nee Chens face deliberately sunk. She stood up and put on a posture of leaving. If you dont agree, then forget it. As long as Mu Xiaojie marries, she must respect me as her mother-in-law anyway. Your niece already ruined her reputation at our Duke Yongnan fu last time. You worry about that.

Wang Yiping saw that Nee Chen was unhappy, so she immediately smiled apologetically. I didnt say that I didnt agree. Why are you leaving? Dont worry. We will slowly plan this matter out.

Good, thats settled then. If you have a good idea, send someone to let me know. Nee Chen patted Wang Yipings hand and walked outside in satisfaction.

After she left, Wang Yiping had a malevolent smile on her face.

She hated Zi You even more now. The main reason was because after Mu YingRuis injuries were healed, he did not come say goodbye to her in her courtyard.

She angrily went to find him. He not only flirted with that cheap wench Shui YouLian in front of her, but said forcefully and righteously to her, Furen, Lianer faithfully took care of me while I was injured. I cant do without her anymore. I told my father yesterday that I will make her a yiniang and have her follow me to take up the post. Father has agreed. I was going to ask her to give you tea in ceremony tomorrow before we leave. Since youre here, well do it now.

After he finished speaking, he didnt give her the chance to refute and said to that demoness, Lianer, give Furen a cup of tea.

Wang Yiping was so angry that her internal organs shifted in pain as she suppressed her anger. Drinking the cheap wenchs tea wasnt for any purpose other than to have him sleep with her once. That way, it would be easier to claim that her and her brothers child would be his.

Mu YingRui had been gone for ten days already. Even when she thought about this incident now, Wang Yiping still gnashed her teeth in extreme anger.

She was sullen enough that day. She not only drank Shui YouLians tea, but had to say to her, Laoye is entrusted to you then, Fifth Yiniang. You have to serve Laoye well on the road and dont let Laoye harm his body.

Then she pretended to be affectionate and looked at Mu YingRui tearfully. She looked extremely unwilling to part from him as she delicately said, Bieqie laid out Laoyes favorite food and drinks in the courtyard. Bieqie invites Laoye over to let Bieqie bid farewell.

His wifes attitude was so low and submissive. She also obediently drank the tea that his beloved concubine handed to her. In addition, she was showing an affectionate expression and reluctance to part with him. Mu YingRuis vanity was greatly satisfied. He couldnt be aloof anymore and went with Wang Yiping to her courtyard.

In her room, she used her body and gave it her all. With difficulty, she managed to move Mu YingRui and he promised to spend the night with her.

Thus, the two people were full of wine and got onto the bed after washing up.

Who knew that as the two were getting in the mood and reaching a crucial point, Shui YouLians maidservant screamed outside. Laoye, Fifth Yiniang is sick. Shes desperately gasping for breath. The doctor said that she might be in danger. Second Furen [Nee Liu] is worried and asks Laoye to go over to take a look.

Since Shui YouLian had been with him, she hadnt had an asthma attack in a long time. They were about to leave tomorrow. So, why was she suddenly so ill?

Hearing that there was danger, even if Mu YingRui was more of a beast or if he was thinking of that, he didnt dare to continue.

He hurriedly got off of Wang Yipings body and rushed to Shui YouLians place.

When he got there, he saw that Shui YouLian was having an asthma attack. She was breathless and gasping for breath. Her beautiful face was choked into a purple color. She looked helplessly and weakly at Mu YingRui with tearful eyes, making Mu YingRui extremely distressed.

Thinking of how affectionate they were during the past few days, he anxiously went over to hold Shui YouLian. He fretted with a pale face, Why did you suddenly get sick?

Then he immediately berated the two maidservants. How did you serve your master?

The Xiaoyu, who went to call him here, quickly knelt and cried, Since Laoye left, Fifth Yiniang felt stuffy. She waited and waited, but when Laoye didnt return, she washed up for bed. But soon, she started having an asthma attack and gasping for breath. Nubi went to find Laoye twice, but was blocked by Furens servant.

Father, Zi You interjected at this time. Dont blame the maidservants. The doctor and daughters diagnoses are the same. Yiniang came into contact with some pollen that should have been avoided. In addition, with heavy worry, thats why her asthma attack is so serious.

Isnt pollen strictly forbidden from being brought into this courtyard? Mu YingRui shouted. Youre leaving with Ye to take up the post tomorrow. What else are you worried about?

Lianer Lianer is afraid that Laoye wont take Lianer with you. Thats why Shui YouLian said, gasping for breath.

At this time, Nee Liu took the opportunity to say, Brother-in-law, Fifth Yiniang just said that as soon as she smelled the fragrance on sister-in-law, she knew that she would get an asthma attack. The smell of the cosmetics on sister-in-law is so heavy. Then she called you away and you did not return. Fifth Yiniang was afraid that you wouldnt take her with you if she fell ill. This is normal.

Mu YingRui understood. So Wang Yiping heavily used cosmetics to induce Shui YouLian into having an asthma attack and then made her worry. Wang Yiping probably had the motive to not have him bring Shui YouLian to take up the post.

That woman. He thought that she was reluctant to part with him. It turned out that she wanted to murder his beloved concubine.

Coupled with the fact that Shui YouLians maidservant was blocked by Wang Yipings servant, Mu YingRui hated Wang Yiping.

That cheap slut! Jinx! How could she so vicious? In the blink of an eye, she wanted his beloved concubines life. She really was thoroughly abominable!

Like this, Mu YingRui was angered nearly to death. The next day, when Shui YouLians condition seemed to have improved, he hurriedly rushed to take her along. He didnt even greet Wang Yiping once.

Wang Yiping went to send him off, but Mu YingRui didnt even smile at her. He only ordered, Take good care of Yes father and treat Yes daughter well. Ye is leaving.

She looked at this scene and was angered until she wanted to vomit blood. That cheap wench Mu Zi You did not let her off. She said to that vixen, Fifth Yiniang, I hope that when you come back during the Spring Festival, you will be carrying a little brother or little sister.

Bah! I curse her to never get pregnant! Thinking of this, Wang Yiping couldnt help but curse out loud.

Wang Yiping and Nee Chen thought that their private agreement was very secretive and that no one knew about it. They did not expect, however, a pure white spirit mouse was hiding in its hole and clearly heard every word between them.

In a short period of time, it reported everything to Weishali.

Weishali was now the leader of the spirit pets. Seeing that the little spirit mouse, Xiaoyin, performed well, Weishali immediately stuck its tongue out to lick it, as a form of praise. Then it went to report to Zi You.

Zi You patted Weishalis head and whispered, Continue monitoring them. Also, arrange the little animals well to monitor at the wangzis, Yu Lanxuans, and Shangguan Lingluos. Keep a close eye on them twenty-four hours a day.

Weishali waved its tail and quickly left.

It was very happy and gratified. Its old master left it behind to protect little master. Now little master was getting increasingly more powerful. Her spiritual power and martial arts not only improved, but the spirit pets increased their spiritual power accordingly.

These spirit pets were founded by Weishali to prove that it completely submitted to Zi You. Their spiritual power wasnt very high, but they werent completely inexperienced. They could basically understand it and little masters words.

Although little master needed to expend some effort to understand them, but they were very helpful since they understood her.

Duke Yongnan had a very sincere attitude when he visited this time. It was unnecessary to speak of his feelings of gratitude towards Old General Mu and Zi You. He also promised, Please rest assured, Old General! When Youer marries into Duke Yongnan fu in the future, she will be my daughter. No matter who it is, I will not let him bully Youer! Then, should we finalize the engagement? I have invited Daoist priest Yuxu to take a look at Youer and Xiangers birthdates. We will naturally prepare the highest level of betrothal gifts, guaranteed to make everyone in the capital envious of Youer.

Old General Mu faintly nodded. Okay, since youre so sincere, then I will no longer object. But please be mindful of the agreement. If you violate it, dont blame me for reneging.

Of course, of course. Duke Yongnan laughed cheerfully. If Xianger dares to do so, I wont let him off either.

Duke Yongnan still did not know that his wife and Wang Yiping made a vicious plot behind his back. He happily went back to his fu to prepare the betrothal gifts.

Weishali went to report everything to Zi You after it eavesdropped. Zi You revealed an elegant and exquisite smile.

She was afraid that they wouldnt make plans. They actually couldnt bear it anymore.

This was very good. It was better than her plotting which would waste effort, energy, and time.

Seven days later was an auspicious day for marriage matters. It was also the day that Duke Yongnan went to the Generals Manor to finalize the engagement and send the betrothal gifts over.

120 boxes of betrothal gifts dazzled peoples eyes. It showed that Duke Yongnan put in effort.

Actually, there was no other way. The betrothal gifts were to dispel the rumors.

Before this, a rumor spread among the capitals nobility. Did you hear? Even the imperial doctors are helpless in curing Duke Yongnan Shizis leg. But he was actually cured by Old General Mus granddaughter, Mu Xiaojie.
