Chapter 171

Slowly

Hearing Eunuch Li call Xu Li as his Master, Mu Yunyao’s eyes slightly moved, and the smile on her face became even more radiant .

Cao Yunnian said, “I’ve already ordered people to prepare some food and wine . Eunuch Li, please take a seat . ”

“You are too polite . After a while, I will meet you often . ” Cao Yunnian was polite, and Eunuch Li also sold it properly, revealing some news .

Cao Yunnian was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up with joy . According to what Eunuch Li said, he would be promoted and transferred to the Capital soon . Only by doing this, he would be able to meet often with the palace attendant . “Thank you, Eunuch Li . Please, please!”

Cao Yunnian went to the main hall to invite Eunuch Li, while Mu Yunyao supported Lady Jin back to the backyard .

“Yao’er, you should go back and make some preparations as well . When the evening comes, I’m afraid this Eunuch Li will go to Bu Xian Luo . ”

Mu Yunyao thought of Yue w.a.n.g, Steward Qin, and the others in Jin Xiu Garden and hurriedly nodded . “Alright, then I’ll come again and talk to adoptive mother another day . ”

After leaving Cao Family’s Manor, Mu Yunyao went directly to Jin Xiu Garden . Steward Qin came out to welcome her . “Miss, I’ve heard from Madam just that the Emperor has bestowed upon you again . Here, I would like to congratulate you first . ”

“Thank you, Steward Qin . I want to visit the Fourth Master . Would it be convenient for me to do so?”

“The Fourth Master is in the study . Miss Mu, please come in . ”

Mu Yunyao entered the study and smelled a faint scent of blood . She couldn’t help but frown in her heart, “Greetings, Fourth Master . ”

Yue w.a.n.g sized up Mu Yunyao and saw that her expression had recovered to normal . His appearance relaxed slightly: “Is your cold better?”

“Return to the Four Lord’s words . I’ve almost recovered from cold . Today, I have received a lot of rewards from the Emperor . Eunuch Li, who came to deliver the decree, may come to Bu Xian Lou to drink tea in the evening . Fourth Master, do you want to leave for a while?”

“I’m not familiar with this place, and I don’t have much of a place to go . Besides, there are too many people in Jiangnan, so I’m a bit worried that my whereabouts will be exposed . ” Yue w.a.n.g’s expression turned serious . Mu Yunyao thought for a bit and inwardly thought, regardless of what thoughts Yue w.a.n.g had towards her before, it seems that he has already let go of this thought and that the cooperation from now on will definitely continue . Since that’s the case, we can’t get along too rigidly . “If Fourth Master doesn’t mind, then go to my house and hide first . ”

“Will Lady Jin come to your house?”

Mu Yunyao is in a daze . If Eunuch Li wanted to come, then Cao Yunnian would have to accompany him . It was possible that Lady Jin would be in the mood to enjoy the scenery and would inevitably have to see and speak to Su Qing . If she were meet him accidentally, then things would be not good .

Yue w.a.n.g lifted his head and looked at her, waiting for her reply quietly .

Mu Yunyao thought for a moment and couldn’t help but slightly purse her lips: “If Fourth Master doesn’t mind, then you can hide in my room for a while . Even if my adoptive mother comes, she won’t go to my room . Comparatively speaking, it’s the safest place . I’ll tell Jin Lan and others not to go in . ”

Yue w.a.n.g nodded calmly: “Since that’s the case, then I’ll have to trouble you . ”

Steward Qin sent the tea in and said with a smile, “A few days ago, the Young Lady was sick, and I did not have the opportunity to visit you . Now that you look so good, you must have recovered . ”

“Thank you for your concern, Steward Qin . I am fine now . ”

“It’s good over there . Miss Mu must pay more attention in the future . Once a person is sick or injured, it will be the most uncomfortable . ”

Mu Yunyao slightly blinked her eyes . She felt that Steward Qin was implying something . Of course, he was referring sick to her, but what about the word injury at the back? Thinking of the smell of blood that she had smelled when she entered the study, she could not help but look at Yue w.a.n.g .

Steward Qin faintly smiled, put away the teacup, and left the room!

After hesitating for a moment, Mu Yunyao asked, “Is Fourth Master injured?”

“I accidentally injured my hand . It’s nothing serious . ”

“No wonder I smelled blood when I first entered the study . But how come I don’t smell the medicine?”

Yue w.a.n.g placed his left hand on top of the table, on top of the white gauze that he was wrapped up in, oozing out a trace of blood: “Yu Heng went to get doctor Zhang, but he hasn’t come yet . ” It’s natural to suffer some pain to make people take it seriously .

Mu Yunyao’s eyes trembled . “I also know a bit about medicine . If Fourth Master doesn’t mind, then I’ll help you to bandage it for you!”

Yue w.a.n.g nodded slightly and replied: “En . ”

After instructing Jin Lan to go to her room to get the medicine box, Mu Yunyao took apart the gauze covering Yue w.a.n.g’s hand . She saw that the s.p.a.ce between the thumb and finger of the left hand where the wound located had suddenly wrinkled . The position of the heel of the left thumb was slanted down and hurt too deeply . When the gauze opened, bloodstains flowed out, which looked abnormally bad .

Mu Yunyao raised her head to look at Yue w.a.n.g and met his usually cold and clear eyes . They were so deep that impenetrable, but they were clear and unsullied . It reflects her figure clearly and makes her breathless .

The wound on his hand should have caused by a carving knife . No wonder he didn’t send the ice lantern that night . It wasn’t that he had given up, but that he couldn’t continue carving with his injured hand .

When she thought of this conclusion, Mu Yunyao’s heart couldn’t help but tremble, and the calm lake in her heart once again stirred up slight waves .

Yue w.a.n.g lowered his eyes to look at her . He saw that her eyelashes were slightly trembling, and there was a hint of weakness in her movements, causing him to feel particularly pained . He could not help but ask: “Aren’t you going to help me bandage my wounds?”

“The wound is so deep and needs special treatment . It should be painful . Please bear with it, Fourth Master . ” Jin Lan brought the medicine box over, and Mu Yunyao helped Yue w.a.n.g clean up the wound . Her movements were quick and gentle, not causing him much pain . After applying the medicine, she carefully wrapped up the injury . “Fourth Master, since the wound is at the base of the thumb, in order to prevent you from accidentally touching the wound, I will fix your thumb and arm . Although it is a little inconvenient, it will help to heal the wound the fastest . ”

“Sure, thanks . ”

After taking care of her wounds, Mu Yunyao tidied up the medicine box and hid her gaze from Yue w.a.n.g’s expression . “I’ll go back and make some preparations . In fifteen minutes, w.a.n.g Ye can come to my side . ”

“Yes . ”

Waiting until Mu Yunyao and her people left, Steward Qin brought in the food . “w.a.n.g Ye, why has Miss Mu left? Didn’t w.a.n.g Ye ask her to eat a meal together?”

Yue w.a.n.g shook his head slightly and said, “Uncle Qin, pack up my things and send it to Su residence later . The people from the Palace might come over tonight . I’ll go and hide at Mu Yunyao’s place . ”

“Alright, this old servant will immediately go down to clean up . Does w.a.n.g Ye want to change clothes?”

“No need . ” Yue w.a.n.g closed his eyes, and the light in his eyes flowed slowly . He had led troops at the border for many years, and what he did not lack was patience . There were many things that couldn’t be hurried, but he couldn’t calm his heart and slowly plan things out, especially towards a woman who looked as weak as a cat, but was actually agile as a fox in the heart .

The more impatient he was, the more it would cause his opponent’s defenses to deepen .

As expected, in the evening, Cao Yunnian accompanied Eunuch Li to Bu Xian Luo . At the moment, there are thousands of lights and trees in Bu Xian Luo, and the flowers and flames are blooming in seven branches . The colors are far away from the ground, and the numerous lights are hanging on the sky . The moment they entered the garden, it was as if they had entered a paradise on earth, attracting the attention of those who entered the garden .
