Chapter 16
Su Qing boiled half a cabbage and a noodle pancake . It was not particularly delicious, but Mu Yunyao ate heartily . Her mood was extremely good . Even if Su Qing gave her sandstone, she would still eat everything .
“Mother, drink some warm water first before you sleep . ” A lamp lit up the house . Mu Yunyao brought a bowl of warm water in front of Su Qing . Under the warm light, the water looked yellow .
Su Qing took a sip and felt that the taste was off . “Yao Er, this water……”
“I put in some herbs . It will help you have a good night’s rest . Do not worry, Mother . ”
Su Qing nodded and did not think much about it . She lay down on the bed with Mu Yunyao and fell into a deep sleep within a few moments .
After a while, Mu Yunyao got up . She used all her strength to carry Su Qing into the west side of the house .
After using much strength, she managed to put Su Qing onto the bed . Mu Yunyao breathed heavily, this body of hers was much too weak . She covered Su Qing with a blanket and warmed up the bed . When she made sure the temperature was comfortable, she then stood up and straightened her clothes . She walked into the main room and waited for Zhang caizhu .
As it got later, the village became very quiet . There was only the occasional bark from a mutt .
That was when two dark figures slowly closed in on Li Shi’s home .
Caizhu Zhang Yongan stood at the door . To give himself a certain aura, he specially copied the the gentlemen from the city, one hand holding a fan . The butler Dingshan gently pushed the door open . The door opened with a creak .
(T/N: Zhang Caizhu’s name is Zhang Yongan . “Yongan” 永安 meaning “forever peace” . -_-)
Zhang Yongan laughed soundlessly . She really was waiting for him . He had always thought that Su Qing was a very reserved and modest woman, looks that that is not the case!
The courtyard was quiet . There was only the soft yellow light coming from inside the house . Zhang Yongan gestured the butler Dingshan to wait at the door . He went up the door and said, “Beauty, I have received your invitation and thus I have come to you . ”
Under the light, Mu Yunyao slowly opened her eyes, her long lashes cast a shadow on her face . “Come in . ”
Zhang Yongan hurriedly opened the door . When he saw Mu Yunyao, he froze . The smile on his face became wider . “Oh, it’s a little beauty . ”
In the day, Mu Yunyao had used an egg to massage her face, causing the bruises on her face to fade away . She had also applied medicine . Now, her face was mostly healed . Only the scar from the cut she made with the ceramic shard remained . This scar did not destroy her beauty; it only just added a pitiful aura to her .
Under the light, her eyes were clear, her lips were pink and she looked soft and fragile . She seemed so much like a succubus .
Zhang Yongan eyes were completely drawn to her .
“Zhang Caizhu’s clothes are especially nice today . ” It totally looks good enough for his funeral .
“If this little beauty likes it, I can wear it everyday for you to see . ” Zhang Yongan walked up and caressed Mu Yunyao’s hand, but she responded by throwing a handkerchief onto his face .
“Little beauty, you……” Zhang Yongan laughed, his words were getting more and more unclear .
Mu Yunyao stood up . She reached under the table and pulled out a bat and hit Zhang Caizhu’s head hard!
“Ping!” With the bat, even if Mu Yunyao used little strength, it would still have been enough to cause him to faint .
“Sir, are you alright?” Dingshan’s voiced sounded out from the door .
“Butler Ding, Zhang Caizhu suddenly fainted, could you come inside and look?” Mu Yunyao’s eyes were filled with murderous intent . Dingshan had also abused Mother at that time! Thus, he must also die!
Dingshan quickly opened the door . He suddenly felt an air current by his ear . He used his arm to block . He grabbed a stick and was about to kick Mu Yunyao away .
Mu Yunyao backed away and threw her handkerchief at Dingshan’s face . Dingshan did not block in time and breathed in the powder . His movements slowed and was hit hard on the head .
“You……” Dingshan could not believe it . This mere villager girl had the guts to kill!
Mu Yunyao’s face was expressionless . When she saw that Dingshan did not knock out, she hit him again . Dingshan swayed and fell forward .
When she got rid of the bat, Mu Yunyao took out the dagger . The dagger was the dagger that she had stolen from Yue Wang . She slowly walked towards Dingshan and plunged it into his heart!
“This is a good dagger, I didn’t even have to use much strength . ” She looked at her bloodied hands, the fire in her eyes trembled a little . But, she recovered at the next moment .
She had already decided to walk the path of blood and live well, so she would definitely not mind using her enemy’s blood to make the path smoother!
