Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Second(1/2)
Liu Shitong could hardly believe what she heard in her ears, and she was completely dissatisfied. "Sister Mu Qing, are you saying true? Have you fallen in love with the prince's senior brother?"
This should be the most thrilling news she heard today, right?
Who would have thought that the most beautiful woman in the capital, and many young men from aristocratic families, who disliked her on their faces but silently coveted her in their hearts, actually fell in love with the sick prince, or a man who would die at any time and would make her widow at any time.
"Sister Mu Qing, do you really don't mind the physical condition of your senior brother? In fact, there are really few noble girls in the Liang Kingdom who want to marry your senior brother."
Liu Shitong carefully reminded that the implication is that if she is the one who can’t change her personal love, and she still wants to marry her senior brother, aren’t she crazy?
Xu Muqing looked very sober, and she said with a smile, "But the prince's elegant and handsome appearance and slender figure are really worthy of my appetite. I like it everywhere."
"Shitong, don't be sad. It's really a last resort. Can I marry the prince on your behalf? By then, the raw rice will be cooked and the emperor will not say anything. Okay, don't be sad. Things are not the last step, don't be so uneasy."
She persuaded this, but she felt envious of Liu Shitong. She deserved to be a daughter who was spoiled by Qian Jiao and well protected. She was like a flower in a greenhouse, unable to withstand the wind and rain. Her life was so good that it made people jealous.
“Is it really possible to do this?”
Liu Shitong asked suspiciously, and a hint of joy arose in her heart. It would be great if someone could marry her on behalf of her. She only had brother-sister love for the prince's senior brother, but no affection between men and women.
However, after a moment of surprise, a hint of shame arose in her heart, "No, Sister Mu Qing, I still can't do this. I can't be so selfish and put you in danger."
"Shitong, do you believe the prince? Since he dares to agree with you, he will never break his promise. You should not give up hope until the day you get married in a wedding dress and a phoenix crown. On that day, I am willing to take over all the troubles for you, and I will never let you be trapped in the palace and live a depressed life."
She stared at Liu Shitong's eyes seriously, "Your Highness the Prince said you are his favorite junior sister, and he will not watch you fall into danger."
A look of shame appeared on Liu Shitong's face, and she lowered her head, "I'm sorry, Sister Mu Qing, I was so scared that I was so scared that I was scared to death after receiving the imperial edict. It was all my fault."
"That means your parents and your brother love you very much, and you are living a happy life."
Only girls who are held in their palms and pampered can be so willful.
Xu Muqing thought silently in her heart, Xiao Linye, I was wholeheartedly treating your fiancée. You owe me too much, and you must compensate me in the future.
"I can't do this again in the future, otherwise the emperor would think that my parents would not obey the order and would be very disrespectful to the emperor and the prince, which would be miserable."
Liu Shitong said guiltily, she knew she shouldn't be so timid and fragile, and she shouldn't fall ill. However, she really couldn't control the fear in her heart, so she got a high fever and eventually fell ill.
The voice of a maid outside the door sounded, "Miss Xu, you have already taken all the medicine."
Xu Muqing stood up and said to her with a smile, "Shitong, you lie down and rest first, I'll go and decoct the medicine for you. Listen to my advice, no matter when, you must keep your heart in your stomach. It's no big deal. When the sky falls, you have to be tall and hold it on. It's not our turn to worry."
"Just just take medicine to maintain your health with peace of mind. It should belong to you and no one can take it away."
She paused and continued to say mysteriously, "Tell you, I can see my face. You don't have the fate of being a mother in the world. You are the life of a noble lady, and you have a lot of children and grandchildren, and you are happy and sweet for the rest of your life with your husband."
Liu Shitong had seen Xu Muqing's various abilities. She believed that the latter was pretending to be a charlatan and fortune teller, and she was in a good mood.
"Really? Then I'll feel relieved. Thank you, Sister Mu Qing."
Xu Muqing said in her heart, I hope you will not dislike Xiao Linye for his short life and are unwilling to marry him. After Xiao Linye ascended the throne and became very strong, she will come over and regret it.
"You wait, I'll go to decoct the medicine."
She got up and left and went to the kitchen to decoct medicine.
Seeing her come out, Mu Yan immediately ran to her and asked with concern, "Sister, has Liu Shitong's heat subsided? Can we go home now?"
"Wait a little longer, we will go home after I have decocted the medicine. It will take about half an hour, so wait patiently."
Mu Yan pouted, and she also guessed some reasons for Liu Shitong's fever and coma. However, this petite lady is too fragile. Although being married to the prince is indeed a very painful thing.
But since things are already like this and cannot resist the order, then accept it and accept it. Do whatever you want to make yourself comfortable and happy. Why torture your body and be unable to get along with yourself?
Besides, if you marry His Highness the Crown Prince as the official concubine, at least the crown prince looks very fond of others and will not make things difficult for her to make her angry.
If you really want to beat people like her sister's former fiancé, drink alcohol and beat people crazy, or like Zhang Mingtao, you have such a terrible hobby in bed, torture women so much that they cannot get out of bed, and you will be bruised all over and may die at any time, that is the most terrible thing.
But Mu Yan didn't dare to say these words to her sister, for fear that her sister would get angry and beat people.
In the kitchen, Xu Muqing quickly became a fire. After the water boiled, she began to add the medicinal materials in a certain order. Not long after, the strong medicinal smell spread in the kitchen.
Mu Yan couldn't smell the herbs, and her beautiful face wrinkled, "Sister, the kitchen is a little stuffy. I'll go to the door to get some breath and won't run far. If you have something to call me, I'll come over soon."
Xu Muqing also knew that her sister hated the taste of the medicinal herbs, so she waved her hand and let her go out.
Mu Yan took her two maids and squatted in the corner of the garden, boredly gestured with branches.
Suddenly, a fruit fell from the big tree and accidentally hit her head.
Mu Yan raised her head and saw a black cat jumping down from the tree and running away. While running, she looked back at her. Her green eyes were full of provocation in the dark night.
Her head was buzzing, and stars were hiking in front of her eyes, which scared her maid and immediately stepped forward to support her.
"Miss, are you okay? Does it hurt?"
It was a green plum as big as a baby's fist, hard and Mu Yan's tears were about to burst out. She took a breath before swallowing the pain.
"You go and catch that cat. This big fat cat is so annoying that it actually smashes me with fruit."
It would be fine if it hit, but it would be too annoying to look at her provocatively.
She was so angry that she lifted her skirt and followed the maid to catch the fat black cat back. She ran and shouted angrily, "Big fat cat, come back for me, see if I don't pull out all your hair, take you to stew the soup and drink it for me."
After a few steps, a young man in his early twenties walked over with a big fat cat who was raving. He didn't even see Mu Yan and hurried towards the kitchen.
Mu Yan also grew up with love by her parents. She was hit with a headache and was very angry. She ran over and stopped the young man in a few steps.
"Hey, the fat cat you raised has become a sperm. He actually hit me with green plums. I have to have a big bag on my head. What are you going to do?"
The young man was Liu Shitong's eldest brother Liu Chengjun. He originally wanted to ask Xu Muqing's sister's condition, but was suddenly blocked by a young girl. He was also questioned angrily and wanted to explain, but he was stunned for a moment.
"This girl said, Moqiu injured you, right?"
Mu Yan rubbed her head and said angrily, "That's right, this big fat cat is really annoying and knows to bully people. This young master, are you the owner of the big fat cat? If so, please give me an explanation."
Liu Chengjun looked at the girl in front of her. The girl was wearing a pink and blue skirt, with a slender waist and a white skin. Although she was still young now, she could vaguely see the ultimate beauty. In time, she would definitely grow into a beautiful woman who was stunning in the country.
However, in order to get him married, my mother even pushed out the little girl who was still not dry. She still used this...well, a unique way to attract his attention, thinking that he would be moved by such a young girl?
Mu Yan's scalp was numb when she was seen by the tall and burly man in front of her, and she felt a little unhappy. She couldn't help but pinch her skirt and plucked up the courage and said, "Young Master, I'm talking to you. Your pet hit me with the green plums. Shouldn't you give me a satisfactory explanation?"
She is a guest of Ningguo Hou’s Mansion, how could she treat her like this?
Liu Chengjun looked at the dim lantern light, and the girl's bulging cheeks were whispering to her, and she couldn't help but thrust the corners of her mouth.
"Then how do you want to relieve your anger? Moqiu is indeed naughty sometimes. He hits the girl. I'm sorry to apologize to you."
The tall and arrogant man handed the ink ball directly to Mu Yan, and said seriously without any perfunctory, "Then I will leave this cat to the girl. Whether you want to cut it into pieces, braised, sweet and sour, or soup, you can be happy."
He also stuffed a ingot of silver into Mu Yan's hand, "These silver is for the girl to see the doctor. If the injury is really serious, I will continue to pay you the subsequent silver."
The naughty and cunning big fat cat let out a scream of horror, retracted back to Liu Chengjun's feet, rubbed his calves, raised his head, and his green eyes were full of prayers.
"Mo Qiu, who made you trouble? If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price. You should understand this principle, right? If you hurt this girl with Qingli, of course you have to make the girl vent your anger."
The young girl couldn't help swallowing and said with a slut, "No need to be so cruel, but your fat cat is too cunning and will attack people. Fortunately, she took Qingmei this time. If she hit someone with a stone, I might be dead or stupid. So I'd be asked to take care of her pets."
Liu Chengjun squinted his eyes and a dangerous light burst out, "What the girl meant was to let me beat the cat to death, peel it and take it out for ten days to expose it to the sun. Is this going to relieve my anger? If you want, I'll let someone come over with a knife."
Moqiu let out a terrifying and shrill scream, "Aim—"
Liu Chengjun had already ordered the servant behind him, "You can keep Mo Qiu and peel it and kill it. Who made this blind beast harm people like this? Girl, I'm really sorry. Go and see the doctor. If you really hurt your head, I will be responsible for it in the future and do what you say."
When Mu Yan heard Liu Chengjun say this, her neck couldn't help but shrink, and she couldn't help but feel that this man was so cruel and terrifying.
"No need, I won't bother with a fat cat anymore, I'll give you the money. Although it hurts a little, it's not injured or bleeding. I won't bother you too much."
It’s okay that she is afraid, the men in the Ningguo Marquis’ Mansion are too cruel and I really can’t afford to offend her. She should follow her sister quickly.
Mu Yan threw the silver into Liu Chengjun's arms again and immediately took her two maids to find Xu Muqing quickly.
"Sister, has the medicine been boiled? I'm a little sleepy and want to go back. Hurry up." Mu Yan thought of the man who looked picturesque but said so ruthlessly, and a hint of fear flashed through Yingying's eyes like autumn water.
"What happened? Why are you trembling so hard? Is someone in the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion bullying you?"
After Xu Muqing put the last medicinal herb into the medicine furnace, she soon noticed her sister's pale face and the fear that she tried hard to hide but could not hide. She immediately raised her whole body to be vigilant.
"Sister, I met a very fierce man just now. It was really scary. His cat smashed me with green plums on the big tree. I found the cat's owner to settle the score. Who knew that the man actually gave me the cat directly and asked me to braise or sweet and sour or soup."
"Are you so scary about this kind of man? I was so scared that I was about to fly away. I didn't even dare to ask him to give me money to see the doctor."
Mu Yan thought that there was such a man in Ningguo Hou’s mansion who did not take life seriously, so she wanted to hide away immediately and never want to come again.
At this moment, a clear and powerful voice from a man came from the door, "Miss Xu, I am Shitong's eldest brother. I want to ask if your medicine has been boiled? How is my sister's condition?"
After Liu Chengjun knocked on the door symbolically, he walked in and said with concern.
Who would have thought that Mu Yan would hide directly at her sister's back when she saw clearly, and she didn't dare to look at Liu Chengjun. She said silently in her heart that this was the prince of the Marquis of Ningguo, and Liu Shitong's brother was really terrifying.
Liu Chengjun also saw Mu Yan trembling, but his eyes that looked too beautiful were full of warning to him. His steps stopped and he couldn't help but feel funny.
He is so timid and dares to ask him for an explanation. This little girl is a bit interesting.
He thought she was another relative of his mother who came to join him, so he deliberately used this method to arouse his ideas, so he pulled Mo Qiu out and said such cruel words.
It seems that he was scared by the distinguished guest who came to the house with his sister. How could this be good?
"She was scared to death by herself, and her heart disease needs to be treated with medicine. I just decocted the medicine to suppress her heat so that she could get better. If she was still too worried like this, she would still fall ill."
Xu Muqing said truthfully. She couldn't help but say earnestly to the prince of Ningguohou, "The prince may as well go and chat with Shitong when she has time. Everything will be fine when she thinks about it."
"That's a problem for Miss Xu. My sister is simple and timid, and she is prone to being unable to calm down when encountering things, so she falls ill. I will find ways to persuade her more."
Xu Muqing nodded, "It would be better if you care about her as a brother."
