Chapter 246

Someone’s Playing A Trick

Liu Mama, who was still smiling, suddenly became stiff . According to their original guess, even if Su Qing and Mu Yunyao had something to take along, they wouldn’t carry much . Who would have thought that a boat wouldn’t be able to hold them?

Recalling the boxes that had previously piled up in the courtyard, Liu Mama felt a lump in her throat . When people arrive at the Su family’s residence, but there will be nowhere to put the things, the Eldest Madam will lose face . Lui Mama, who came to observe the situation but didn’t report the circumstances truthfully, would be definitely punished!

The journey on the boat was considerably calm . After Liu Mama realized that the situation wasn’t right, she thought of a way to send a letter to the Eldest Madam, so she came to encourage Mu Yunyao, “Young Miss, the scenery along the way is so beautiful . Moreover, we’ve been on the boat for three days . I’m sure you’re tired too . Would you like to go ashore to rest for a night?”

Mu Yunyao shook her head slightly . Her eyebrows furrowed, and her tone became a little low, “Earlier, there was a delay of many days in order to deal with the matter of Jingling City . With the golden signboard personally bestowed by the Emperor, we cannot abandon Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo . Since we have already decided to return it to the people of Jingling City, I can’t ignore it . Because of that, they have not left until now and rush to the Capital . Mother and I felt extremely guilty, and now we wish that we could grow a pair of wings and fly directly to Grandmother . Where can we be able to get ashore to rest for the sake of our own well-being?”

Liu Mama was speechless . She carefully looked at Mu Yunyao’s expression, hoping to see some hypocrisy in her words . But no matter how she looked at it, the guilt and longing on her face were very affectionate and sincere .

Su Qing also nodded in agreement, “Yao’er is right . We were already extremely uneasy after delaying for so long . Now we don’t even have the mood to rest . Let’s travel through the night . ”

Liu Mama couldn’t do anything but mutter, “Yes . ”

When Liu Mama left, Mu Yunyao’s lips curled up into a smile . “Mother, with our current speed, we should arrive in the Capital in six days . Mother will have to suffer greatly along the way . ” Although Su Qing’s seasickness was not very obvious this time, it was indeed very uncomfortable to spend a long time on the boat .

“Mother, what suffering do I have? It’s rare for you to have such leisurely days . But you, you eat too little these days . Don’t starve yourself to death . ”

“Don’t worry, Mother . I’m fine . ”

When Liu Mama left Mu Yunyao’s room, she couldn’t help but feel annoyed . Before she came here, Eldest Madam had mentioned to her before that as long as she did this job well, she will reward her with a hundred silver taels . Furthermore, the Eldest Madam would also arrange for her son to have a good match . She can use this opportunity to show her face in front of the Eldest Madam!

She initially had thought that things would be so simple . To deal with two people from the countryside, she can use some tricks to make them unable to stand it, but she had neglected many things . Who would have thought that these two people would actually bring so many things with them? If the yard arranged by the Eldest Madam really couldn’t fit, it would be a shame and a loss of face . This debt would definitely go to her . After all, she had not sent back the crucial information . In this way, not to mention reward, it would great if she didn’t get punished .

Liu Mama was anxious in her heart and couldn’t help but think of a method to bring the boat to shore . If she can send a messenger pigeon to send a message when they landed ashore, it can send a message to the Eldest Madam before they reached the Capital . While thinking, Liu Mama saw Zhi Qiu pour the dregs into the river, and her eyes immediately narrowed . After which, a smile appeared on her face, and she felt much more relaxed .

Traveling north by boat, the weather seems considerably cool, but Mu Yunyao’s appetite was not that good, and she ate too little these two days . When Su Qing saw this, she became anxious and went to cook herself, hoping that Mu Yunyao would eat more .

Since there was nothing to do on the boat, Mu Yunyao read the book for the whole afternoon . Feeling a little tired, she slept on the bed for a while, and when she woke up, Su Qing was personally bringing the dishes over . When Su Qing saw that Mu Yunyao had woken up, she quickly called out, “Did you wake up after smelling the fragrance of food?”

Mu Yunyao knew that Su Qing was worried about her, so she smiled as she spoke, hoping that she could make Su Qing relax a little . “Isn’t it precisely because I awakened by Mother’s cooking?”

When the Snow Fox that had been lying beside Mu Yunyao’s pillow saw her get up, it hurriedly stood up and jumped onto her shoulder . It intimately rubbed its head against the side of Mu Yunyao’s face as it let out a whining sound from its mouth .

When Su Qing saw this, she could not help but laugh . “This Snow Fox’s personality is extremely compatible with yours . ” They all love to coquettish .

“Mother is actually joking . I’m much more adorable than this Snow Fox . Furthermore, how good-looking am I?”

“Aiyo, Mother is indeed wrong . You don’t like this Snow Fox . After all, the Snow Fox is not as shameless as you . ”

If Mother says it like that, I won’t listen to her . I feel so sad that I feel hungry …” Mu Yunyao wiped her hands as she spoke, then sat down on the edge of the table . After smelling the smell from the food, she abruptly stopped talking, her eyebrows moved, and then she asked without batting an eyelid, “Are all of these dishes made by Mother?”

“Yeah, I think that your appetite isn’t that good, and you’ve eaten very little in the past two days, so you can eat all the food that I’ve cooked . ” Su Qing didn’t notice Mu Yunyao’s abnormality and handed the chopsticks over as she spoke .

Although she had Jin Lan, Jin Qiao, and the rest to accompany her, Su Qing still liked taking care of Mu Yunyao by herself . Every time she saw Mu Yunyao ate sweetly, she felt happier than when she was full . “Quickly, eat some while the food is still warm . ”

Mu Yunyao got up and picked up some dishes before placing them in Su Qing’s bowl . “Mom, eat more as well . ” After picking up the food, she pulled the Eight Treasure Tofu in front of her for herself .

Su Qing felt a little strange . Mu Yunyao usually didn’t like to eat tofu because the smell of the tofu was too strong . She had made this dish for herself, so why was it so abnormal today? Just as she was about to ask, she inadvertently noticed the coldness in Mu Yunyao’s eyes, and her heart shook .

“This Eight Treasure Tofu is excellent . I didn’t expect there to be such ingredients on the boat . I wonder who prepared them?” Mu Yunyao raised her head to look at Ying Xue and asked with a smile .

“To reply Young Miss, Liu Mama likes tofu better . Presumably, she asked someone to prepare it for her . ”

Mu Yunyao’s fingers, who was holding onto a pair of chopsticks, lightly moved it . “Un, what a coincidence, Mother really likes it too . ” As she spoke, she scooped a spoonful and placed it in her bowl, but she didn’t use the spoon until the end .

Seeing Mu Yunyao act like this caused Su Qing to feel even more uneasy . Mu Yunyao waited for the others to clear away the food, then accidentally knocked over her bowl, and the things in the bowl fell to the ground . When she picks it up again, she was unable to differentiate its original appearance .

It wasn’t until Ying Xue and Jian Chun left that Su Qing couldn’t help but say, “Yao’er, but … . What’s wrong with that?”

Mu Yunyao smiled, but a cold light flashed in her eyes, “There’s someone who can’t bear it anymore, and she doesn’t want us to be too peaceful!”
