Chapter 16
Su Qing had cooked half a cabbage and pasted a crumb on top, so it couldn't be considered delicious, but Mu Yunyao was in a good mood after eating so much. Even if Su Qing brought her a bowl of gravel, she could still eat happily.
"Mother, drink some warm water before you sleep." A light was lit in the room, Mu Yunyao carried a bowl of warm water over. Under the light, one could see the yellow hue of the water.
Su Qing took a sip and felt that the taste was a little strange. "Yao'er, this water …"
"Mother, don't worry. I've put in some medicinal ingredients that can help me sleep peacefully."
Su Qing nodded and didn't think too much about it. She laid down on the bed with Mu Yunyao. It didn't take her long to get a good night's sleep.
After pausing for a while, Mu Yunyao stood up and carried Su Qing on her back with great effort to the west room. There was also a fire brick bed in the west room. Originally, their family of three lived there, but when they split up and left, Madame Li did not touch the fire brick bed either.
After crippling herself and putting Su Qing on the bed, Mu Yunyao gasped for breath. Her body was truly too weak. She spread out the quilts and helped Su Qing cover herself with the quilts. Then, she lit up the fire kang and touched the suitable temperature. After that, she got up and tidied up her dress before sitting down in the main house to wait for Zhang Jianzhao to come knocking on her door.
The night was getting darker. The village was quiet, and occasionally there was the sound of dogs.
Two black figures slowly approached the Li Clan's residence.
In order to show his style, Yongan, the rich advocate, stood in the doorway. He had also deliberately learned from the elegant people of Yan City, and had a fan in his hand. Guan Jia Ding gently pushed the front door open with a creak.
Zhang Yongan silently laughed. "He really was waiting for me. I originally thought that Su Qing was a pure and innocent woman, but now it seems that she also knows how to act!"
The courtyard was silent, except for the dim yellow light from the main house. Zhang Yongan gestured for the Guan family's Ding Shan to wait at the door, stepped forward and lightly knocked: "Beautiful girl, I, Zhang, have been invited."
Under the lantern light, Mu Yunyao slowly raised her eyes. Her long and slender eyelashes cast a shadow on her face. "Come in."
Zhang Yongan hurriedly opened the door and saw Mu Yunyao under the light. He was stunned for a moment before his smile intensified. "So she's actually a little beauty."
During the day, Mu Yunyao used rolling eggs to rub away the bluish-purple color on her face, then carefully applied the medicine. Most of the wounds on her face had already healed, and only the areas where they were cut by the porcelain pieces were left with scars. This injury not only did not damage her beauty, but instead made her even more pitiful.
Under the light of the lantern, her watery eyes shone, and her pink-lipped eyes weakly glanced over, as if she was a demonic demon that could devour the soul.
Zhang Yongan stared fixedly, wishing he could stick his eyes onto Mu Yunyao.
"Lord Zhang is wearing a pretty good set of clothes today." It's quite suitable for a shroud to wear into a coffin.
"Little beauty likes it, I'll show it to you every day in the future." Zhang Yongan stepped forward to touch Mu Yunyao's hand, but was thrown onto her face by Mu Yunyao's handkerchief.
"Little beauty, you …" Zhang Yongan grinned and laughed. He suddenly felt that his words were getting more and more unclear.
Mu Yunyao stood up, pulled out a roller from under the table, and viciously smashed it down on Lord Zhang's head!
"Bam!" Even though Mu Yunyao wasn't strong enough, she had knocked out Lord Zhang Cai.
"Old master, are you alright?" At the door, the Guan family's Ding Shan was somewhat suspicious. This voice didn't seem right.
"Butler Ding, Lord Zhang has fainted. Do you want to come in and take a look?" Mu Yunyao's eyes filled with killing intent. Back then, Ding Shan was one of the people who had insulted her mother! Therefore, he should also kill!
Ding Shan hurriedly pushed open the door. Just as he entered the room, he heard a gust of wind rush towards him. He reached out to block it and used his arm to block it. Then, he grabbed the stick and prepared to kick Mu Yunyao.
Mu Yunyao hurriedly retreated and fiercely threw the handkerchief at Ding Shan's face. Ding Shan wasn't prepared for this, so he could only smell the smell of medicine. His movements slowed down, and before he could even react, he was struck on the head by a rod.
"You …" Ding Shan could not believe that a country bumpkin girl would have the guts to kill someone!
Mu Yunyao's face was expressionless. Seeing that she did not knock Ding Shan out, she directly struck him with the stick. Ding Shan staggered and then fell to the ground.
Throwing away the grinder, Mu Yunyao took out a dagger. It was precisely the dagger that Wang Yue had used earlier. She slowly walked over and aimed at Ding Shan's heart, and stabbed it down with all her strength!
"This is indeed a good item. It doesn't need much effort to kill people." She looked at her bloodied hands and her pupils violently trembled for a moment before returning to normal.
If she was destined to have to use all her blood to survive, then she wouldn't mind using the enemy's blood to make a grand path for herself!
