Chapter 141 A Scheme After the Illicit Act [2]

A kind reader bought me coffees! Thank you for your support! Here are the promised bonus chapters!

But she pretended to smile freely. Since you said so, then I am relieved. Tell what happened tonight to Xiaojie. I will go back and tell Laoye so that he can rest assured. Aiyo! This is great! If you can serve Laoye, I not only have a good sister, but good support. Dont worry. I will immediately have Laoye name you Seventh Yiniang.

She patted Liu Yanhongs hand comfortingly. Then she turned and left.

As soon as she turned, she revealed a hideous smile. She gnashed her teeth and thought, Mu Zi You, you vicious little mixed breed! This time, I will make you a laughingstock in the whole capital. I will have your own father, Mu YingRui, completely hate you. I will have that old fool Mu Junyuan (Old General Mu) be disappointed in you and witness your hypocrisy.

Before her smile disappeared, Wang Yiping started shedding tears. She cried very loudly, as if her mother had died.

When she arrived at Yiping Ju, she looked as pitiful as begonias that had been drenched in the rain.

Mu YingRui was naturally distressed when he saw her. He asked repeatedly, What happened? Why are you so sad? Did Liu Yanhong bully you?

Wang Yipings weak and helpless appearance would only make people think that she was bullied. No one would think that she was a sinister and vicious woman.

Especially when Mu YingRui thought of her as a very virtuous woman now. Once he looked at her, he completely forgot all her bad deeds from before.

Wang Yiping looked into Mu YingRuis eyes that were filled with affection and concern. She knew that this man was coaxed by her not to the point of complete obedience, but to the level of trust as when they were newlyweds.

So, she cried even more heartbreakingly and collapsed into his arms. Wuu Laoye should resent Pinger. In order to give Youer a good impression and not to separate from you, I came up with a bad idea in the beginning. Now Now, Youer hates us both.

But the idea was mine. She should resent me, hate me, and direct her anger at me. But why does she have to hate her father, you, too? Now Now, she She Laoye, what are we going to do?

If I watch you be beaten by your father again, I.. I might as well kill myself. Is the feeling of having my heart gouge out something a human can withstand? Laoyes body may be beaten, but Pingers heart is in pain!

Her cries made Mu YingRui even more distressed. While he was comforting her, he kissed Wang Yiping. His heart was flustered. He angrily asked, What did that darned yatou do now? She angered you to this state? Did she go to the study to bully you?

Wang Yiping heard his questions and revealed a cold and proud smile in his arms. She cried even sadder. Laoye, I thought it was strange that Liu Yanhong kept coming over to my place. Shes a servant who was just promoted from a rough-work maidservant to a second-rank maidservant. Where did she get all the gorgeous and expensive clothing and jewelry? I was originally worried that she stole them from Youer.

But her behavior today made me suspicious. How can a daughters maidservant dare to climb onto her mistress fathers bed? So, I asked around. Heavens. I cant even say it. This This is Xiaojie. Xiaojies plan.

Laoye, I was so shocked that I broke out in a cold sweat. What do you think Youer is up to? She is studying medicine. She should know your bodys situation. Even if she doesnt know, she let her maidservant climb onto her fathers bed. What does she want to do? Laoye, Pinger thought about the things that had happened before. Pinger is really afraid!

It must be said that Wang Yiping was clever and eloquent. She linked up matters in the past with matters that happened today. Then she linked them up, analyzed, and provoked.

Mu YingRui originally did not like Zi You. Now that he was being convinced, he immediately pondered. It seemed that the darned yatou really hated him marrying a new wife. In addition, some unpleasant things had happened. She probably really did hate him to the bones.

First, she offered him Shui YouLian. Now, she had Liu Yanhong seduce him. The purpose might actually be like what Pinger said. She used other women to divide his love from Wang Yiping. She also wanted to destroy his body, damage his reputation and authority, and cut off his career.

That sinister and malicious darned yatou! She was so young, but why were her thoughts so complicated? It seemed that he really had to guard against her more.

Father was so partial towards her. If she really wanted to harm him and Pinger and the children whom he and Pinger would have in the future, then it would be frightening!

If this matter wasnt properly handled, he would be punished. He would also be censored by the imperial censor and his promotion would be impacted. Only if he did things according to what Pinger said could the matter be resolved.

Thinking of this, Mu YingRui said viciously to Wang Yiping, Rest assured. I know what to do. I will never let you or our children to be harmed by that vicious darned yatou. You did very well. Do what you said with the chicken soup that Liu Yanhong sent over. I will go find Liu Yanhong and have her obediently listen to me.

Tomorrow, I will go teach that darned yatou a lesson! Such a young age and her heart is so vicious. This time, both witness and evidence are here. I want to see how she will quibble. This time, it will be useless even if father is here. She is so malicious. I am her father. I have the right to discipline her.

You cannot. When Wang Yiping saw that Mu YingRui was angry, she was exceedingly happy. But she still gently advised, Laoye, dont be angry or youll harm your body. Go speak nicely with Youer. Tell her not to hate us.

After all, we are a family. Its good if the misunderstanding is resolved. Advise her and reason with her. Its for the best if she listens. If she doesnt listen, then you can carry out the family laws. But it is best if you send father away tomorrow. Otherwise, if he hears, he will come over to stop you. Youer might hate you, her father, even more.

I know. Tomorrow, father and brother will be going to the army. They wont be in the house. Mu YingRui praised Wang Yipings thoughtfulness. You are the thoughtful one!

On the other hand, he was aggressive. That child cannot be coddled by father anymore. Ill have someone bring Liu Yanhong over.

Wang Yiping deliberately mentioned the family laws. Originally, Mu YingRui hadnt even thought of that terrifying military rod. Now, it was good. He wanted to have her taste the feeling of being hit by that military rod.

In the dark night, all sorts of sinister schemes were planned. Zi You didnt know anything about this. At this time, she was with Shangguan LingRan in the capitals Plum Blossom Hill in the northern suburbs, enjoying the night view of the winter snow.

It snowed heavily in the capital two days ago, making the capital into a silver-coated world.

There was a plum blossom hill in the north of the capital. There were more than 20,000 strains of plum blossoms. There were also hundreds of strains of wintersweets [Chimonanthus praecox, a type of plum blossom?].

This was the best time to watch wintersweets bloom in the winter. As the capitals most famous dandy, Shangguan LingRan had already went with his friends to the hill to admire the wintersweets.

The thin and dry branches were full of dense flower buds. The transparent and delicate weak yellow flowers emitted elegant fragrance. The fragrance wasnt stationary. It floated and flowed silently in the air, like a poet reciting an intangible and rhyme-less but beautiful poem. Shangguan LingRan was deeply intoxicated in the wintersweets charm and scent.

He immediately decided to take the little yatou here to admire the plum blossoms. But he knew that daytime would not work. There was a continuous line of people admiring the flowers in the daytime. Even if Zi You was beaten to death, she would not publicly admit that she and he were together.

Thus, he could no longer stand it tonight and ran over to lure Zi You. The wintersweets on Plum Blossom Hill are covered in snow. They almost look transparent. Its really beautiful! Youll regret it if you dont see it. Lets go. Ill show you tonight. I guarantee that youll like it.

Zi Yous deep purple eyes were clearer and brighter in the nighttime. When she heard Shangguan LingRans words, she feigned anger and looked coquettishly at him. Its dark at night. What can we see?

Shangguan LingRan laughed proudly. How can it be dark? I guarantee that I will make the hill as bright as daytime. I wont let you make the trip in vain. Shall we go? If not, when the sun comes out tomorrow, the snow will melt. It wont be as charming then.

Zi You hesitated. She had always loved pine, bamboo, plum blossoms, and orchids. She knew that the scenery was the most beautiful when the plum blossoms bloomed on the hill in the winter snow and early spring.

But grandfather and uncle were in the army visiting soldiers these past few days. Aunt was also busy preparing for New Year. So how could Zi You dare to suggest going to see plum blossoms in the snow?

She was a bit tempted by Shangguan LingRans suggestion. After all, she was still a child. She was only a sixteen-year-old girl even in her previous life. If there werent so many changes, she would still be a mischievous girl who liked having fun.

In the end, her desire to have fun won over reason. Zi You nodded and agreed. Ill go change clothes.

In a short while, the two used their qinggong and left the Generals Manor. Shangguan LingRans horse carriage was about 200 meters away from the front door.

Shangguan LingRan was very thoughtful. Zi You saw that the horse carriage did not have An Wang fus insignia. Its decorations were also very low-key. Zi You had a new understanding of his carefulness again.

The carriage driver was not an ordinary driver either. He was called Yang Jian. He was a guard who had been with Shangguan LingRan since he was young. They called him Tiger Roaring Wind in Jianghu.

As the name suggested, his tiger fists were mighty and fast, like a fierce tiger going down the mountain.

The truth was that Shangguan LingRan had six secret guards and four public guards around him. Four of them had unfathomable martial arts. Lets not mention imperial secret guards, but even the top experts in Jianghu would not necessarily be their opponents.

That was because these ten people were Xuanyuan Sects Xuanyuan Daozhangs specially selected disciples. When Shangguan LingRan was sent to Xuanyuan Sect, he was only two years old. These people were sent by his side to protect him.
