Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 271

Chapter 271

~ THE OLD MADAM WHO SHAKES THE POT ~

The Old Madam shook her head, and her expression looked rather cold . “You are usually busy . How can you take care of everything alone? After all these years, you have never made any mistakes while in charge of the residence . I naturally believe in you, but people will inevitably have their own preferences . Although the back is all flesh, the flesh is actually thinner than the palm . ”

Was she blaming her for having favored Meng Yanran yesterday?

The Eldest Madam hurried forward to pay her respects . “But what did your daughter-in-law do wrong that displeased you? Please enlighten me, Mother . ”

Old Madam Sun pondered for a moment before opening her mouth . “I heard that Yunyao was injured yesterday?”

“Yes, it’s a fight between two little sisters . You should know that Yanran was spoiled by her grandfather and grandmother . Sometimes it is inevitable that she will lose her sense of proportion in her words and actions, so . . . ”

“So, you defended Meng Yanran and wronged Yao’er?” she asked .

The Eldest Madam’s heart tightened . Judging from the Old Madam’s words, she was trying to blame it on herself? Didn’t she think that she was the one who intervened yesterday?

“Mother, Yanran was frightened at the time . She was so frightened that she even tore her own clothes . I was worried that something might have happened to Yanran here and wouldn’t have been able to explain it to the Meng family, so I subconsciously sided with her . After Yao’er got slapped, I felt distressed when I saw it . . . ”

“Since you know that you’ve wronged Yao’er, have you given her a proper explanation?” The Old Madam’s tone softened .

“I came to Jiyue Pavillion today to pay a visit, but Yao’er seemed to be angry and refused to speak . ”

“You are an elder, so you should naturally learn to be tolerant . As for Yao’er, you need to talk to her again, don’t make her feel resentful . After all, she is still young, so there is nothing to block her words and actions . If there is anything bad spread out, won’t it bring shame to our Su family?” The Old Madam looked at the Eldest Madam indifferently . It was only when the Eldest Madam nodded in agreement that she was satisfied, and there was an extra smile on his face .

When the Eldest Madam walked out of the Old Madam’s courtyard, Ninghe Garden, she felt like she was being roasted on a fire . Her heart, liver, spleen, and lungs felt miserable everywhere . If she really cared for her granddaughter, she would not have sent Lin Yuhan to do that yesterday . Seeing that Mu Yunyao was about to meet the Emperor, the Old Madam panicked and was so flustered that she asked her to say nice words to pacify Mu Yunyao . She had taken all the great things, but the bad things had to be done by herself!

Could it be that the Old Madam’s face was her face, and hers, as an Eldest Madam’s face, was a piece of paper that was worthless? When she thought about speaking kindly to Mu Yunyao, the Eldest Madam felt as if she had been slapped in the face a few times .

Wen Mama brought a cup of tea and placed it next to the Old Madam . “Old Madam, have some tea . Don’t worry too much about the matters of those juniors . ”

The Old Madam gently played with the Buddhist beads in her hands and slightly lowering her eyes . Her slightly relaxed eyelids blocked the emotions that flowed in her eyes, “All these years have been smooth sailing . Why is it that everything is under her control became like this? Carelessness makes it easier to stir up trouble . These days make the eyes of the people underneath a little tighter . It’s almost the Mid Autumn Festival, and It’s better to be a little more secure . ”

“Yes, Old Madam . ” After Wen Mama finished answering, she stood to the side . The room was silent for a long time before she suddenly heard the Old Madam speak again .

“Wen Mama, I believe in your judgment . What do you think about Mu Yunyao?”

Wen Mama couldn’t figure out the meaning behind the Old Madam’s words for a moment, so she could only speak up . “Previously, the Old Madam also asked this, and this servant thought that Miss Mu was smart and beautiful . It’s a rare thing . ”

“Smart… After all . . . ” Old Madam Sun seemed to want to say something, but when the words were just about to leave her mouth, she quickly swallowed them back . Her expression turned unnatural for a moment as she continued, “In a while, bring the medicinal ingredients and go to Jiyue Pavilion to take a look . Also, ask Yao’er if she has proper clothes for her presence tomorrow at the Palace . If she doesn’t have proper clothes, then borrow them from Yuyi for her use . Also, tell her the Palace’s rule . Otherwise, she says something that she shouldn’t have said after entering the Palace . It would be bad if she angers any noble person . ”

“Yes, Old Madam . ”

Mu Yunyao lazily laid on the bed, asking Si Hua to massage the bruise on her waist again with medicated oil . The bruised blood gradually dispersed, and the range of bruises became wider . It looked particularly shocking on her snow-white skin .

Every time Su Qing looked at it, Su Qing had to shed tears, causing Mu Yunyao to feel distressed . “Mother, don’t worry too much . I had rested all night last night, so it doesn’t hurt anymore . ”

“You tricked Mother when you went to see Eunuch Li just now, but you couldn’t even stand properly . ”

Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but laugh . “I’ve suffered such a great grievance, so I naturally have to be pitiful in front of outsiders . Although it still hurts a bit, it’s mostly an act . If Mother doesn’t believe me, I’ll come down now and take two steps to show you . ”

Su Qing hurriedly stepped forward and placed her hand on Mu Yunyao’s shoulder . “Mother trusted you . Quickly lie down and rest . Mother will make some pork bone soup for you later . You will be healed faster if you drink it . ”

“Mother, it’s not like I hurt my bones . What’s the use of drinking the bone soup?”

“Drink more bone soup . You’ll grow taller and stronger if you drink more . This way, the next time someone hits you, you’ll be able to dodge, and you won’t have to suffer so much pain . ”

Mu Yunyao felt sour in her heart . Her mother’s heart was always that soft, but she still had a smile on her face as she said, “Alright, then Mother will boil a little more, so I’ll drink a little more . ”

Su Qing hurriedly nodded . When she saw Mu Yunyao’s expression, her heart relaxed a bit . “I understand . ”

Just as they were talking, Jin Lan walked in quickly . “Madam, Miss, the Eldest Madam has sent someone to deliver a lot of medicinal herbs . There is even some precious nourishment for the body . ”

The smile in Mu Yunyao’s eyes vanished . “Eldest Aunt has good intentions . Since the things have been delivered, then I’ll accept them . Tell Eldest Aunt that I’ll personally go and thank Eldest Aunt after I’ve recovered from my injuries . ” If she didn’t accept the gift that was delivered to her, it would be a waste .

“Yes, Miss . ”

Not long after, Mu Yunyao, who had just fallen asleep, heard Jin Lan enter and report, “Miss . . . Wen Mama has arrived . ”

Mu Yunyao didn’t open her eyes, but she only opened her mouth and replied, “Invite her in . ” She did not expect the Old Madam to lose her composure so quickly .

Wen Mama walked in and subconsciously looked around at the decorations around her . Jiyue Pavilion had was originally decorated very exquisitely, but now it is even better than before . The floor was covered in a fluffy peony carpet, and when people stepped on it, it was as if they were standing on clouds, which made them feel extremely comfortable and soft . A piece of furniture has been replaced with the delicate style of Jiangnan . The exquisite design was exceptionally compatible with this Jiyue Pavilion .

Between the outer hall and the inner room was a large folding screen, embroidered with a picture of mountains and rivers s in a remote style . It was unknown who had made it, but it was so captivating .

Around the screen, a dark red bead curtain made of Jade Seal Jade Beads hung at the door of Mu Yunyao’s room . The bead curtain’s color was the same, and the beads were round and full, and each bead was absolutely identical . It was hard to tell if there was any difference, but just this bead alone would probably cost more than ten thousand taels of silver .

Wen Mama was sighing with emotion in her heart when she heard Mu Yunyao’s slightly weak voice, “Wen Mama, you’ve arrived . My movements are currently inconvenient, so I can’t stand up to welcome you . ”

Wen Mama immediately became attentive . She stepped forward, holding her breath, and curtsied . “Your servant greets Young Miss . ”
