Chapter 229

Break The Relationship

“I just remembered a legend …” Yue Wang said softly .

“What legend?”

“On the prairie in Western Guangdong, Snow Fox absorbs the essence of the sun and moon, seizing the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, transforming into a human …”

Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but chuckle . She turned her head slightly and blinked her spirited eyes . Suddenly, a charming light seemed to shine within . “Does Your Highness think that I’m the Snow Fox Spirit?”

Yue Wang could not help but move his throat, his heart burning with passion: “Are you?”

“I’ve heard that all mature foxes must have devoured their’s prey hearts . Is Fourth Master not worried about his own?” As she said that, Mu Yunyao intentionally glanced at Yue Wang’s chest, then stuck out her tongue to lick her pink lips as if she was drooling over it .

Yue Wang clenched his fingers tightly, and his eyes became increasingly focused: “I’m not worried . ”

Mu Yunyao smiled . “I’m not really a fox, so there’s no need for Fourth Master to worry . ”

“Even if you are, I am not worried . ”

“Fourth Master Ning sure knows how to joke around . ” Mu Yunyao stands up and closes the medicine box on the desk . When she was rolling up the silver needles, she accidentally touched a book that was placed beside her . When the book fell to the ground, a piece of paper fell out of the book . Mu Yunyao bent over to pick it up and saw it immediately that it recorded the information about herself and Su Qing .

Yue Wang could not help but stand up, and his heart filled with anxiety . “Yunyao, I just …” He just wanted to get to know Mu Yunyao better . If they talked or did anything together, he wouldn’t easily make her angry and make her more vigilant .

However, before he could finish speaking, Mu Yunyao placed the paper back into the book and then gently placed it on the table: “Fourth Master, please pay more attention to rest . I don’t have anything else to do here, so I’ll take my leave first . ”

Yue Wang could clearly feel that something had shattered the moment Mu Yunyao saw those pieces of paper, causing his heart to surge with panic suddenly . It was not easy to get rid of the unhappiness from before . Is it necessary to return to the past?

“Yunyao … . ”

“Fourth Master, there is a difference in seniority between us . I don’t even dare to call you that . It’s more suitable if you address me as Miss Mu . ” Mu Yunyao’s heart filled with suppressed anger . The relationship between her and the Su family was her greatest secret, the source of her hatred . Yet Yue Wang was secretly investigating her relationship with the Su family, which undoubtedly touched the most obscure part of her heart . It made her raise all her defenses suddenly!

“I’m investigating those things because I just wanted to know more about you …” Mu Yunyao sneered . She had already done her best to endure the last interrogation and probing, and she had pretended that nothing had happened during these few days . Because Yue Wang was injured, she was relaxed . But, she hadn’t thought that Yue Wang had not given up at all and instead focused on investigating her mother and father . What did he want to do and use her and his mother to deal with the Su family?

She told herself over and over again that she should calm down . When she thought about how Yue Wang had not only expressed his goodwill towards her but also investigated her information in secret, she couldn’t calm down her anger at all .

“I mean no harm …”

Mu Yunyao coldly pursed her lips, her gaze completely guarded . “Your Highness Yue Wang, let me ask you again . Even though you know that I have many secrets, you still decide not to kill me?”

“Why would I kill you …”

“Well, then I’ll take my leave . ” Mu Yunyao turned around and walked out as she spoke .

Yue Wang hurriedly said, “Yunyao, remember to help me change my dressing tomorrow . ”

Mu Yunyao stopped in her tracks but didn’t turn around . “There shouldn’t be a lack of doctors by your side . ” With that, she walked away .

Along the way home, the aura around Mu Yunyao became even more oppressive, and Jin Lan and Jin Qiao didn’t dare to make a sound as they followed behind her . The Snow Fox lightly jumped onto the chair and softly moaned coquettishly beside Mu Yunyao .

Mu Yunyao lowered her head and stretched out her hand to touch the Snow Fox’s warm fur . Her fingers moved around its neck, with just a slight squeeze, she would be able to end this little thing’s life…,

A faint voice came from the door, followed by Jin Lan’s soft voice . “Miss, Liu Liang has returned and said that he has something to report to you . ”

Mu Yunyao came back to her senses as her Snow Fox was coquettishly rubbing against her fingers, and its eyes were full of trusts and defenselessness . “Let him in . ”

“Greetings, Mistress . ” Kneeling on one knee, Liu Liang greeted respectfully, “The matter had settled . As soon as Li Yuanyi saw the letter you prepared for Qi Ming, he immediately agreed . Qi Ming was all safe and sound . ”

Mu Yunyao nodded her head . “Although Li Yuanyi loves beauties, he is a man with brains . He knows what is more important and what is less important . However, right now, Qi Ming should hide somewhere else to avoid the limelight . ”

“Yi Bao Xuan in Yangzhou City can only be closed for the time being . We can wait for a new shopkeeper to take over before opening it again . ”

Mu Yunyao shook her head, “There’s no need to be in such a rush . Right now, many people view this Yi Bao Xuan as the First Prince’s property . Let’s wait until the case of salt policy case has completely subsided, if …”

“Mistress?” Liu Liang was waiting for Mu Yunyao’s instructions, but she stopped midway, “Your complexion isn’t good, are you feeling unwell?”

Mu Yunyao raised her head and looked at Liu Liang . “It’s nothing, Liu Liang . I just coincidentally bought you that time, and you’ve returned my kindness wholeheartedly over the past year . If you seriously count it, you can consider it as having returned the favor …”

A nervous feeling arose in Liu Liang’s heart as he raised his head to look at Mu Yunyao . He hurriedly interrupted her, “Mistress, are you trying to chase me away?” Earlier, Mu Yunyao had said something similar that caused his heart to perturbed for a long time . Now that she mentioned it again, it immediately gave him a bad premonition .

Mu Yunyao looked at Liu Liang and couldn’t help but laugh at herself . “I don’t know why, obviously I only spent six taels of silver buying you, but I have an inexplicable feeling of trust in you for no reason…”

Liu Liang’s pairs of eyes lit up as his body trembled . Then, he respectfully lowered his head and said, “I will never betray Mistress . ”

Mu Yunyao stayed silent for a while before speaking again, “We’ve been in Jiangnan for quite some time, and some things have gradually gotten to the point where we can’t avoid them . Since it’s like this, we need to take precautions in advance . ”

“Mistress, please give me your instructions . ”

“You should be clear about Fourth Master Ning’s identity . He is the Fourth Prince of the dynasty, Yue Wang . In the beginning, I set up Bu Xian Luo because I had the intention of using his identity, but I thought it was too simple . Even if he is no longer in favor, he is still a member of the royal family . A little turmoil happened to him, which to me maybe comparable to a violent storm . Therefore, I have to think of a way to sever all ties with him completely . ”

When Yue Wang investigated her relationship with the Su family, she finally made up her mind to separate from Yue Wang in advance .

Liu Liang raised his head abruptly and asked: “But would Yue Wang be willing?”

Mu Yunyao clenched her fist tightly as a decisive look flashed in her eyes, “I have my ways . You can arrange for more people to be placed by Mother’s side . I’m afraid Si Qin and the others might have second thoughts . ”

“Yes . ”

In the following few days, Mu Yunyao didn’t go to Jin Xiu Garden again . Instead, she meticulously cleaned up the account books at home and liquidated her own property .

Inside Jin Xiu Garden’s study, Yue Wang’s expression was ice-cold . He waited for Zhang Chun to help him change the dressing before retreating . He raised his head to look at Steward Qin, “Has there been any activity from Yunyao’s side?”

“In reply to Your Highness, this old servant will consult you about the matter of the tower . Miss Mu has only sent someone to say that she is not feeling well . ” Steward Qin was worried, “Your Highness, weren’t you and Miss Mu fine earlier? “Why did they suddenly get into so much trouble?”

“In reply to Your Highness, when this old servant will consult her about the matter of Bu Xian Luo, Miss Mu has only sent someone back to say that she is not feeling well . ” Steward Qin was worried, “Your Highness, weren’t you and Miss Mu fine earlier? Why did you suddenly get into so much trouble?”

“She accidentally found out that we were investigating her relationship with the Su family, so she’s quite angry . ”

“It’s all my fault . I thought that Master might look at Miss Mu’s information again, so I placed the letter back on the table and let Miss Mu misunderstood it . Speaking of which, ever since the opening of Bu Xian Luo, Miss Mu rarely interfered …,” As he was speaking, Yu Heng came over to report, “Your Highness, Miss Mu requests an audience . ”
