Chapter 90 Visiting Yu Ran (Ten Thousand Updates)

  Su Mo looked at him with a fixed gaze, gave a charming smile and said lightly: "My surname is Su, given name Wu, others call me Miss Wu."

  The governor's expression remained unchanged, and he immediately said: "Miss Su Wu? You treated my wife like this, it's a serious crime."

  Any woman under such pressure, in this heavily surrounded illusion, facing a man who is not angry but powerful, will feel timid and fearful when hearing such words.

  Su Mo's lips curled up into a smile as he said, "Is this a threat?"

  "After all, she is a lady of the imperial court." The governor slightly furrowed his brow and said coldly.

  "Imperial court's noblewoman!" Su Mo lightly hooked her lips, yet swiftly pulled the Provincial Governor's wife over, disregarding the latter's pale face as she quickly dragged her to the window. The countless people below saw the Provincial Governor's wife's miserable expression and Su Mo's stunning beauty, their emotions forming a stark contrast. Su Mo then floated over and said: "An imperial court noblewoman, so her edict must be an imperial reward from the Empress?"

  The governor's eyes swept over her face in surprise and said coldly: "Not bad."

  He stood at another window, with archers also ready to strike at a moment's notice.

  As soon as he beckoned, their bows and arrows would be aimed at Sumo, piercing his heart with ten thousand arrows.

  The rooftop was filled with elite soldiers from the Ministry of War, all of whom were skilled archers. They didn't even need to shoot, and hundreds or thousands of people died under their arrows.

  In his eyes, she was just an ignorant woman who relied on some tricks and deliberately pretended to be calm.

  This kind of woman he hadn't seen many, but he had dealt with a lot of enemies.

  He was skilled in military strategy, and the woman in front of him was clearly just a beautiful paper tiger.

  However, he couldn't figure out what intention this woman had in holding his wife hostage, with a hundred harms and no benefits.

  "He coldly said: 'Let her go quickly, and I can pardon your crime lightly. Otherwise, you will die miserably.'"

  At this moment, Su Mo's expression remained calm and she smiled lightly: "Hehe, I'm so scared!"

  But unexpectedly raised her hand and slapped the other person, her move was quick and ruthless, the noblewoman's hair suddenly became disheveled, a thread of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

  "What are you doing?" Seeing his opponent's crazy behavior, the inspector's face suddenly sank, and he was furious in his heart.

  His wife was his own face, he didn't dare to move a single finger lightly, but in the midst of a large crowd, he was actually beaten by an ordinary woman. It's really unbearable, at this time if he doesn't take action, where is his manhood? Only to see him raise his hand, the broken divine arrow on the opposite side flew out immediately, whizzing towards Su Mo's shoulder.

  A glint of mystery flashed in Su Mo's eyes, his lips curled up into an enchanting smile, as bright as the full moon and as light as floating clouds, his fingertips hooked slightly...

  The hearts of countless people were already pounding at this time.

  But at this moment, a shrill cry suddenly came from the attic, which was the voice of the Governor's wife.

  Everyone's gaze went over, and they saw Su Mo blocking the patrol officer's wife in front of him, clearly a top-notch human shield.

  "You wicked woman." The governor was furious beyond control.

  "What a bloody mouth, this is your person who suddenly took action, and has nothing to do with me, just accidentally slipped hands." Su Mo looked at the onlookers outside, a faint golden light reflected on the beautiful woman's face, as if it were a stunningly beautiful painting. Her elegant voice said: "Now everyone sees clearly, it was your person who wanted to shoot me, unfortunately, they carelessly injured the Governor's wife. I am an innocent weak woman, so I don't deserve this evil woman's reputation, why not return it to your wife instead."

  Everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion. The Su Mo in front of them was so beautiful that it was stunning, but somehow she didn't seem like a weak woman at all!

  However, the appearance of the patrol officer's wife in front of her didn't seem like a shrew or an evil woman, but rather that disheveled hair and swollen face, covered in blood, did somewhat resemble a madwoman.

  "Good sir, it hurts so much." The governor's wife was wailing miserably.

  "Endure it." The governor gritted his teeth, never expecting this woman to be so shameless.

  "It's all right, Commissioner's wife, just bear with it for now. As the commissioner's legitimate wife, you shouldn't be so delicate. The arrow just hit your collarbone and didn't pierce your lungs. If next time... I'm afraid my hand will slip again, and you won't be so lucky!" Su Mo said lightly.

  The governor's wife immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, and the governor's expression was already furious beyond control.

  This scene fell into the eyes of all onlookers, and the crowd's eyes shone with gossip.

  And everyone's mind was thinking of going back to spread the news far and wide.

  It's estimated that soon this matter will be a laughing stock after tea and dinner, in short, it will absolutely not be a small matter.

  At this time, the waitress looked at Su Mo, frowned, and followed this woman for a moment, feeling that although she was very arrogant, she shouldn't be so excessive.

  She even felt that the woman seemed to be deliberately provocative, deliberately provoking the anger of the patrol officer, but why did she want to do so? Any intelligent woman would understand the importance of knowing when to retreat and avoid conflict, and would never choose to confront head-on. Although I admire her courage and skill in manipulation, I don't agree with her current approach.

  At this moment, both sides have reached a stage of irreconcilable differences.

  The governor took a deep breath and quickly calmed down.

  A glint of light flashed in his eyes as he recalled that the other party had just mentioned the surname Su, and he thought that he should start by taking action against the other party's family members. However, when his gaze slowly swept around and fell on the several officials present, he suddenly realized that the surname Su and the government agency were connected, and he felt that the other party might be related to the most popular Su Family Store in Qi Guo recently. Thinking of this, he immediately said: "Wait, wait, you are Miss Su Wu from Su Family Store?"

  "Not bad, you're really perceptive." Su Mo nodded, her eyes gleaming with a charming and alluring light.

  The governor immediately showed a complex expression, unexpectedly the other party was actually Miss Wu of the Su family.

  It was the Su family she had been wanting to get to know.

  Why didn't I think of it myself from the start?

  Now that I have taken action myself, it's really hard to turn back the clock.

  The people outside heard the conversation and were amazed, "It turns out that this beauty is Miss Su."

  "That Su family is now in the limelight, still a conscientious businessman, never seeking exorbitant profits, their mastery of mechanics is astonishing, and they have applied wooden oxen and flowing horses to various places, with prices that are not expensive, yet they cannot meet demand."

  "It turns out that this woman has such a backing, and officials from all over want to cooperate with the Su family."

  "I heard even the Governor wants to collaborate with the Su family!"

  "This time the Governor is really hitting his head against an iron board, moving a stone to hit his own foot." The crowd couldn't help but say with schadenfreude.

  At this time, the governor's face was pale and white, and he didn't know how to get out of it. Everyone's words had already spoken his mind. If he said he wanted to cooperate with the other party, unfortunately, he had already offended them. If he said he would be generous and not hold a grudge, but the other party had publicly slapped him in the face. It seemed that he should let the other party release his wife first.

  He took a deep breath, and his tone had softened considerably: "Miss Su Wu, there may be some misunderstanding here. We can have a good, frank talk about it. But I don't know why you want to imprison my wife?"

  "Why don't you ask your wife why she wants to make things difficult for me?"

  Su Mo's fingers brushed against her temples, and a few strands of hair fell gently from her forehead.

  Her voice was calm and emotionless, with a faint smile on her lips. "Besides, everyone has seen it with their own eyes. The people surrounding us outside are not mine, aren't they the ones you called? And yet you take action as soon as you see me, can I not take Madame as a hostage? Is all of this not because you have harmed my interests and endangered my personal safety?"

  Her eyebrows and eyes are like waves, every sentence she says seems very reasonable.

  The people outside also felt that the governor's wife was bullying others with her power.

  Now that things have come to this, the governor naturally didn't plan on putting down his airs. Although the other party was someone he wanted to get acquainted with, his own status was even more honorable. It's just that being one level higher in official rank can crush a person. He then coldly asked: "Could it be that Miss Su Wu wants to ask me for justice? What virtue or ability do you have?"

  "I don't need...to make excuses or anything like that."

  Only to see Su Mo's beautiful eyes, like a deep pool, surge out with a hint of coldness. His gaze poured down like a waterfall, seemingly gentle and affectionate as water, yet also as cold and indifferent as an icy pool. He smiled coldly: "I'm not looking for justice, my Su family is now under the protection of Qingyun Sect. I think you all know that Qingyun Sect is also a hidden world family, and my brother has a close relationship with them. But as soon as I arrived here, I was framed by the wife of the governor and surrounded by everyone. I think Qingyun Sect will also give me justice."

  The governor was just a proud look, but now he heard that the other party actually had the protection of Qingyun Sect, took a cold breath, and raised his eyes coldly. It seems that this woman really has some background.

  The surrounding Wu Hou's face was also difficult to look at. The other party was actually related to the hidden door and the Su family. Why didn't they tell them from the beginning?

  The maid outside just found out that the demon girl was actually Miss Su Wu of the Su family's shop.

  And there is also the protection of Qingyun Sect, a hidden power behind him.

  This woman's every move seems to give people a delicate and lazy feeling, but she is not useless.

  However, Xia Xueer did not tell herself this, she just kept slandering others.

  It seems that Xia Xue'er also doesn't completely understand her opponent.

  This summer, Xue Er actually treated herself as a sword and wanted to use herself, which is really despicable.

  At this moment, there was another commotion in the crowd, and a batch of guards came from outside, who were silver armor guards and iron armor guards.

  One of them, with white clothes fluttering, was handsome and unparalleled, like a jade tree in the wind.

  The onlookers outside erupted into another round of gasps and whispers, "Someone else has arrived, and this time it's the Eastern Mausoleum Guards who have been mobilized!"

  Someone also shouted: "For the sake of the Provincial Governor's wife, even the Dongling Guards were mobilized, those are even higher-ranking officials!"

  "Look, that's the Fifth Prince, Wen Ren Yi."

  "No, he is now the Fifth Uncle of the Imperial Family, Wen Renyi."

  The governor was in a dilemma, but he didn't expect Donglingwei to take action this time. Suddenly, a very strange feeling surged up in his heart, and he secretly thought that his face couldn't be so big.

  The crowd outside had already begun to buzz, and someone immediately spoke out some so-called inside information: "I heard that this time on Wuhu Island, the governor and Donglingwei collaborated to defend against foreign enemies. The local guards all said that the governor and Donglingwei were closely related, and Governor Wen Renyu's relationship with Wen Yiruo was extremely good. It seems that this statement is not false."

  "Yes! Now many people say that Wen Renyi and Governor Zhang are as close as brothers."

  "Hmm, otherwise the Governor would not have come from Kyoto to defend against the enemy together, and if the Governor's wife had an accident, the Fifth Imperial Uncle would not have sent people from Donglingwei to help."

  "Yes! Yes!" The crowd echoed in agreement.

  It is now widely believed that the governor and Wen Renyi have a very good relationship, and yesterday's rumors are almost confirmed.

  The governor's heart skipped a beat as he recalled the words of Emperor Qi, who had specifically instructed him to wait for the right moment to strike, when both sides were weakened and exhausted from fighting each other. Then, with his own troops, he could launch a surprise attack, killing off the enemy without giving them a chance to react, and Huan Yu would "die in battle", sacrificing himself for the country - what a despicable yet brilliant idea!

  At present, I have a heavy responsibility and a long way to go, so I must maintain a good relationship with the people around me.

  Let everyone know that they have a good relationship with Wen Renyi, and they will inevitably suspect themselves.

  He thought of this and hurriedly smiled at the corner of his mouth, welcoming him out, "Fifth King, you actually came, it's really an honor."

  However, before he could finish speaking, the other party slapped him in the face with a quick and ruthless move that left him completely caught off guard.

  They say you don't hit a smiling face, but the governor's body had already flown out and heavily crashed into the wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and also broke several ribs.

  He looked at his opponent in disbelief, why was he so ruthless as soon as he made a move?

  Everyone was shocked. Isn't it said that they have a very good relationship?

  "Mò er." Wen Renyue walked straight in without looking at anyone.

  "Husband." Su Mo had already smiled and let go of the Provincial Governor's wife, her slender waist twisting around as she lightly walked towards Wen Renyi.

  Husband? Could it be husband? This Su Wu young lady is actually a demoness? She's the woman that Fifth Imperial Uncle has been doting on recently.

  No wonder she is so beautiful, surpassing Ding's family, her dance is unparalleled, and her charm is endless.

  Everyone was stunned, their eyes wide with shock and amazement.

  The governor who was lying on the ground stared with wide eyes, and the governor's wife began to sink in her heart, her face turned pale.

  The shopkeeper on the beam, although half dead and alive, stared at the opponent's blurry white figure with his zombie-like eyes, knowing that the opponent was Wen Renyi, and only then did he realize that the woman just now was the demon girl.

  It turned out that he had offended her today!

  It was actually that terrifying woman, really terrifying.

  So it turns out that the agency bird exploded because of that witch's wrist again. I didn't expect him to fall for the same trick twice on the same person.

  If I had known it was this woman, even if he had a hundred guts, he wouldn't have dared to do anything.

  At last, the final string in his mind snapped completely, and he fainted with a white-eyed upward roll.

  "Mo Er, are you alright?" Only to see Wen Ren Yi embracing Su Mo as if he was holding the most precious thing in the world.

  "Do I look like I have something on my mind?" Su Mo felt his fiery chest, smiled elegantly, with brows and eyes that were like a painting.

  "No matter what, my woman will not be bullied by anyone else." At this time, Wen Renyi's icy gaze swept across the crowd, his eyes seemed to pierce through every person he looked at, making them feel as if they had just brushed past the god of death.

  "It's actually like this." Su Mo hooked her mouth and slowly told the whole story. Her voice was very clear.

  At this time, the provincial governor's wife turned pale, her fingertips lightly stroking the wound on her chest, and unexpectedly, this woman was actually the wife of Wen Renyi.

  She actually mistakenly thought that the other party was just a foolish woman, and did not expect that it was the witch who won against Xia Xue'er.

  At the same time, the face of the provincial governor's wife turned extremely ugly, with a pale complexion alternating between green and white. Her eyes scanned the handsome man, and she immediately thought of his position as the king's concubine. She had not expected that this woman's status was far beyond her own, and she was truly frightened by her own mistake. This time, she was completely humiliated, and it was all because of herself.

  Of course, everyone was shocked and did not expect that the Governor would offend the Fifth Imperial Uncle this time.

  It was even more unexpected that the demon girl was Miss Su Wu, and the recent popular Su family mechanism seemed to be closely related to Miss Su Wu.

  By the way, it seems that the Su family also has a Su Si Shao who is closely related to Qing Yun Sect.

  An Alchemist and an Engineer.

  The Su family has really produced two extraordinary people. Now the wooden oxen and flowing horses of Qi are all from the Su family, and there is also the broken halberd arrow, which is even better than the broken divine arrow. What about the Xia family? They have lost to the Su family.

  Now Miss Su has married the Fifth Prince Wen Ren Yi, no, it should be the Fifth Uncle Wen Ren Yi. The Su family is really too much, and this demon girl is also unbearable.

  Not bad, this demon girl is really something! The governor, who was lying on the ground, also changed his expression.

  Previously, he had not thought that the identity of the demon girl was actually Miss Su, and also a master of mechanisms. On one hand, he offended Wen Renyi, on the other hand, he offended the Su family. All these are temporarily put aside, but it would be ungrateful to Emperor Qi's favor. Now everyone knows that his relationship with Wen Renyi has turned sour, so how can he stab him in the back later?

  At that time, wouldn't he become the first suspect?

  To treat a meritorious minister in such a way would make oneself an object of scorn for all people.

  But if he can't complete Emperor Qi's task, how will he be able to account for it?

  Little did he know, today was just the beginning of his misfortune. In this life, not only would his official career be over, but he would soon be on the verge of extinction. All of this was because of the harm caused by his wife. Originally, he had married her because of her good relationship with a famous noblewoman in the capital and her father being an important court official, which could have helped him advance his connections. Who would have thought that this woman, who appeared to be elegant on the surface, was actually incompetent and prone to causing trouble?

  At this time, the governor's wife finally came to her senses and rolled over to the governor's side, crying and wailing: "Husband, are you okay?"

  The provincial governor's wife was seen with an arrow inserted under her shoulder, kneeling beside her husband, looking extremely wronged.

  However, the governor glared at her fiercely and scolded: "Foolish woman."

  A single sentence from the shrewish woman left the provincial governor's wife at a loss, her face pale and on the verge of tears, yet she had no idea what she had done wrong.

  "Hurry up and go apologize to the Fifth Princess."

  "What?" The governor's wife immediately widened her eyes in disbelief, actually wanting her to apologize to the demon girl?

  Although the other party's status is noble, she was the one who got hurt and her husband was also beaten by the other party. She will not apologize.

  "It's not necessary." Su Mo looked at the other person, her eyes shining with expectation, her tone carrying a hint of elegance and etherealness. "The wife of the governor has her own dignity, I don't need this apology. As long as you take care of yourself in the future, that's enough. I don't have such a good relationship with you."

  Everyone heard this and discussed it, "Indeed, the rumors in front are true. The fifth prince has completely broken with the governor this time."

  Su Mo looked at everyone's expressions, with a sarcastic smile on his lips.

  Not bad, all of this is what she had expected, everything was within her expectations.

  "Mo Er, are you doing this on purpose?" Wen Ren Yi was very familiar with her temperament. This woman would never act without a reason. At this point, he couldn't help but say in a low voice, "You're really an unquiet woman."

  "Not bad, I've just arrived here and already heard the rumors between you and Governor Zhang. I think there must be some evil intention behind this, people like him are shameless and love to stab others in the back. And since I coincidentally met his wife this time, of course, I will deal with them severely." Su Mo raised the corner of his lips, the smile was thin as a flower, "However, from now on, the Su family will never cooperate with them again. If something goes wrong during this naval battle, they are also to blame for their own death."

  "You are using someone else's method to govern their own body." Wen Renyuan looked at her deeply, his wife was really considering herself in every way.

  "People who want you dead should die themselves, I'm just returning the favor." Su Mo said calmly.

  "Moe, you're really great." He whispered softly in her ear, "Tonight when we get back, I want to make it up to you." He had a certain intention.

  Who is compensating whom? Su Mo gave him a slanted glance.

  "Wait a minute, I have one more thing." At this time, Su Mo's face suddenly turned serious.

  "What's going on?" Wen Renyi asked in surprise.

  "You, get him down." Su Mo pointed at the shopkeeper hanging from the rooftop.

  After a while, the shopkeeper was dragged down by the crowd, and he still lay on the ground unconscious.

  Someone poured a basin of cold water on his face, and then someone used a needle to prick the person in the middle, forcing a half-dead person to wake up.

  Although he had just woken up, the shopkeeper's complexion had also changed slowly!

  "Your Highness, Your Highness, you are magnanimous and don't mind the mistakes of a lowly person like me, spare my life!" He rolled his eyes and wailed.

  Su Mo's mouth hooked up a cold smile and said: "You don't need to beg for mercy, last time was just a warning, so this time you won't be let off."

  The shopkeeper cried: "Your Highness, I didn't know it was you, I really didn't know."

  Su Mo stretched out his hand and coldly interrupted him, "You don't need to explain now. At this time when the state of Qi is in a precarious situation, the people most hated are you kind of merchants who seek to profit from the midst of chaos, regardless of others' safety. From now on, one such merchant will be killed to warn a hundred."

  The shopkeeper exclaimed: "No, no, it's just that business is tough nowadays, I just had a moment of bad thinking, I'm absolutely not a dishonest merchant."

  Su Mo's lips curled up in a faint smile, her slender fingers tapping gently on the table. "You're really something, using your brain once and immediately thinking of my head, besides, I'm also a businessperson, I know that business relies on 'integrity' to stand, people without integrity can't establish themselves. Now, our Su family's business is doing very well, we do honest deals, but you rely on having someone backing you, threatening people everywhere, and even want to send me to the yamen, right?"

  " Misunderstandings, those were just misunderstandings." The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, although his body couldn't move.

  She gazed at Wen Renyi and said, "Husband, you have the final say in this place. How should we make an example of this deceitful merchant to warn others?"

  Wen Renyi said coldly: "Since that's the case, this shop will be confiscated and nationalized. The owner will be taken out and executed immediately to serve as a warning to others."

  "It can't be!" The shopkeeper's eyes turned black and he was completely paralyzed, "Spare my life! Spare my life! Please spare me!"

  Then a group of Dongling guards came forward and dragged him into the market, where he was quickly beheaded.

  A cry of horror came from outside, it was a terrible sight, this incident served as a warning to the merchants, and they all became vigilant.

  Su Mo said in a low voice: "This shop is not bad, let Su's family take care of it?"

  Wen Renyi couldn't help but shake his head, "You really are..."

  Su Mo grasped his hand, "I'll make it up to you tonight."

  Wen Renyi couldn't help but curve his lips into a smile, and his handsome face turned slightly red as he nodded and said, "I'll make it up to you several times."

  Su Mo's fingertips gently stroked her belly, "It's no good, Mrs. Fang's Avoiding Pregnancy Decoction has been taken completely, I'm afraid I'll get pregnant."

  "I'll be careful, I won't get it inside." He coughed lightly and whispered in her ear.

  "Shut up, there are people around, be careful." Su Mo said with a soft rebuke.

  "That... they can't hear." Wen Renyi turned his eyes sideways and continued to say expressionlessly.

  Su Mo didn't think her husband would also gradually become shameless, and she couldn't help but blush.

  Just as the two were filled with tender affection in their eyes, another exclamation came from outside.

  "Look, a ship is flying in the sky."

  "How is it possible? That's..."

  "Isn't that Musubi Castle's airship?"

  Wen Ren Yi's eyebrows furrowed, "Mo Er, let's go out, Aunt has arrived."

  Su Mo nodded and said: "Good."

  Only a huge warship was seen falling from the sky, but it stopped and hovered in mid-air, showing its grandeur and magnificence. Bolts of lightning flashed across the ship's body, and the house on top of the ship had a golden glaze. It was incredibly massive, and from a distance, it gave people an indescribable sense of shock! It seemed like a huge palace in the sky, and then several maidservants sat in small boats flying out!

  When several people came before Wen Renyi and Su Mo, the maidservants smiled and said: "Madam Huan invites Master Wen to meet with Miss Yaoji."

  The people around were shocked, and it turned out that the two of them knew the people from Musou Castle, and they even came to invite them specially.

  Today, shocking news kept coming, these two people really made it impossible to know the depth, watching Wen Renyi and Su Mo leave, the governor and his wife looked at the warship in front of them with complex eyes, their hearts filled with emotions. Thinking back to what happened earlier, such strange things simply made them unable to turn around.

  The gap, after all, their gap is really too big.

  Although they understood this matter, but afterwards the two of them had no good ending, it can be described as extremely miserable.

  Moreover, the story of the Provincial Governor's wife and the demon girl became known throughout the land, becoming a joke told over tea and after meals. From then on, people knew that the Su family had not only a master craftsman but also an alchemist, and they didn't just have Wen Renyu as their backer, but even the Qingyun Sect as well. In a short period of time, the Su family rose to prominence not only in terms of wealth but also in background and power, becoming vastly different from before.

  ……

  Su Mo and Wen Ren Yi arrived on the boat and at first glance saw a beautiful woman.

  Su Mo thought: It seems that she is indeed Madame Yu, Yu Ran's mother, a woman with a somewhat frightening temperament.

  Although I had imagined her appearance in various ways, none of them were not a frightening witch type. However, upon closer inspection, the lady, although middle-aged, had a youthful aura about her that only young women possessed. Her eyebrows and eyes shone with an otherworldly beauty, and she wore a red dress that gave off the impression of a phoenix in flight. At the same time as Su Mo was sizing her up, she too turned her gaze towards him, her lips curling into a smile, but with a hint of something strange in her eyes.

  "I've seen your aunt." Wen Renyue said with a pull of Su Mo's arm.

  "I've seen your aunt." Su Mo said calmly, but felt that this woman should not like herself, after all, she had kept her waiting for a long time.

  "Sit down!" said Mrs. Yuān in a somewhat lukewarm tone.

  At this moment, the proud maid also followed over and hastily explained the situation to Madame Yu. After hearing it, Madame Yu looked at Su Mo again with a hint of a smile in her eyes.

  Su Mo was puzzled and didn't know why the other person had such an expression.

  Just as she looked puzzled, the other party calmly handed her a cup of tea, "Miss Yaoji, have some tea, make yourself at home here, don't be polite."

  Su Mo took over the tea bowl, lowered his eyes, but remembered the sound of Ming Jing Dao Chang being beaten by the crowd in the transmission bird.

  Wen Ren Yi whispered in her ear at this time: "Mo Er don't be nervous, my aunt is a person who values relationships."

  Su Mo raised his eyes and slowly looked at Madame Yu, sweeping over her eyebrows and eyes that hid a smile, and the corners of her mouth also curled up with a hint of a smile.

  At this time, Mrs. Yu took out something from the covered plate beside her and handed it to Su Mo, "It's for you, take it."

  The maid was stunned, she didn't expect Mrs. Yuān to be so polite to this demon girl?

  Shouldn't she be furious? After all, the demoness had been teasing her for a long time.

  On the other hand, Su Mo felt that her palm was very soft and warm, similar to Fang Furen's. Then her gaze fell on a red envelope in her hand, and she was taken aback for a moment. Slowly raising her eyes, she saw Yuan Furen handing a beautifully wrapped red envelope to Wen Renyao, saying affectionately: "Yao'er, you didn't even invite me to your wedding, so I'm giving this gift a bit late. You don't mind, do you?"

  Only then did Madam Yu's face appear gentle under the soft glow of the crystal lamp in the house, and her usual sharpness was reduced by a few degrees.

  Wen Renyi hastily said: "Doesn't matter."

  Madam Yu's eyes narrowed as she looked at Su Mo and said, "You're so slow in doing things. I told you to come get the red envelope, but you're still dawdling."

  Su Mo's cheeks suddenly turned red, blaming her for having a bad impression of this lady at first and being a bit petty just now.

  Madam Yu suddenly glared at Wen Renyao and complained, "You two didn't even make a sound, when are you going to invite me to drink the wedding wine?"

  Su Mo couldn't help but smile, this woman wasn't as intimidating as he thought, her petty and stingy appearance was actually quite amusing.

  Wen Renyi couldn't help but smile, "Why don't you go to my mother now and let her fill it in for you."

  Thinking of Mrs. Fang, he immediately smiled slightly at his wife, "How's your mother's health lately?"

  Wen Renyi lowered his eyes and said: "It's not very good, but after I got married, her spirit has improved a bit."

  "It's a pity your mother won't live much longer." At this point, Madame Yu wiped away her tears.

  Su Mo was speechless, shouldn't ordinary people say some auspicious words?

  "My aunt likes to tell the truth and be straightforward, she doesn't like being two-faced." Wen Renyao murmured.

  Madam Yu couldn't help but sigh, her eyes somewhat apologetic. "I don't have many chances to leave Wudou City, I'll go see her when I'm free. After all, aren't we still close sisters? It's just that sometimes, I still get angry at her for turning my son into the state he is now."

  Su Mo was taken aback for a moment, but then heard Ren Yi smile faintly.

  Madam Yu still frowned and coldly said, "It's all because Madam Fang has been instilling some twisted romantic ideas into my son's head. And to make matters worse, Yanran has been spoiled by her, that kid often comes up with unreasonable thoughts, and actually wants to ruin your marriage. Luckily I found out, this time I must take precautions and teach that little brat a lesson."

  When they heard this, Su Mo and Wen Yan looked at each other in surprise.

  "In short, you two mustn't take it to heart. Actually, this child Ranran is not a bad kid at all, but when I was giving birth to him, I was unfortunately bullied by other women and could only give birth to one child, so being able to give birth to him was truly a treasure, that's why Ranran has been spoiled and has a bit of a strange temper, usually likes to do as he pleases and doesn't listen to others, sigh!"

  Just then, a snow-white shadow flashed across in front of everyone.

  Several maids outside shouted: "Ice Fox, come here, don't run around."

  Su Mo's gaze followed, seeing a snow-white fox pounce onto Yu Fu Ren's body, whimpering and making a wronged expression, stretching out its claws to gesture that it had just been bullied by Yu Ran.

  Madam Youyuan hated to say: "He even bullied a little fox, it's really unreasonable."

  Only to see Bing Hu immediately raise his head, and in his eyes, it seemed that tears had flashed by, listening to Yu Fu's words, he looked at her with a pitiful gaze, that grateful and tearful appearance made Su Mo involuntarily raise an eyebrow.

  Then the ice fox jumped onto the table, and its eyes, which were usually narrowed to a line, were wide open, shining brightly and looking very cute. It then rubbed against Madame Yuan's body, completely opposite of its usual proud and aloof demeanor.

  The lady immediately brought some roasted meat, then poured a cup of water for it. The Arctic fox twisted its waist and hips, proudly approached the cup, slowly stretched out its pink tongue, and elegantly licked it.

  Su Mo saw the ice fox's demeanor and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

  Currently paired with the elegant and refined Lady You, the Ice Fox has transformed from its usual proud and flirtatious demeanor to become a high-end, elegant, and sophisticated pet.

  And it seems like just a short time ago, it has already gained weight, and even its fur looks oily and smooth.

  Even more, just now when it jumped over, there was a refreshing fragrance on its body.

  Su Mo knew this was a top-grade fragrance oil rarely used by noblewomen.

  This fox has groomed itself and become a spirit.

  At this time, Madam Yu let out a soft sigh, "Alas! After all, Dye Dye is really not like a child, you will understand how difficult it is to be a mother when you have children in the future." Her gaze immediately turned to Su Mo, and her eyes seemed to hold some deep meaning, "However, I think this girl's temperament seems to be quite bold, maybe the child she gives birth to will also be just like Dye Dye."

  Wen Renyi raised an eyebrow, what was the relationship between his son and Yu Ran?

  His gaze suddenly swept coldly, his eyes looking at the ice fox like ice.

  The arctic fox immediately straightened up, carefully looked at him with one eye, lowered his head and walked over, jumping onto his shoulder.

  At this moment, Madam Yu took a deep breath and said, "Miss Yaoji, why don't you go inside and take a look at Yan's condition? Although family ugliness should not be revealed to outsiders, Yan has already started fasting. Since last night, she hasn't eaten a single bite of food, and still refuses to eat now. How about you help me persuade her?"

  "Yu Ran went on a hunger strike?" Su Mo blinked, not expecting Yu Ran to take such drastic action.

  Wen Renyi immediately said coldly: "I'm going too."

  Madam hastily refused: "No way, he's definitely not willing to see you now."

  Su Mo took the food box from the female servant's hand and said lightly: "I'll go instead."

  Madam Yun couldn't help but say emotionally: "Miss Yaoji, my son is so ignorant, he's really causing you trouble."

  "It's nothing." Su Mo replied with a charming smile, and Madame Yu looked at her with some admiration in her eyes.

  Su Mo followed the female servant through a long corridor, his eyes scanning the high walls around him as he headed straight for the deepest part.

  She had not expected the ship to be so large, with beautiful gardens, artificial hills and lakes. As she walked through the winding paths, she felt a cool breeze blowing in the air. Su Mo hurried her pace, holding the food box, just as she suddenly heard the sound of a flute coming from afar. The melancholic melody was very moving, but it carried a sense of desolation, sometimes loud and clear, sometimes low and mournful, sometimes crisp and cold, sometimes gentle like water, and sometimes harsh like ice.

  Finally, Su Mo stopped in front of a bamboo house and saw a young and handsome man in blue clothes being locked inside. The fence was engraved with various prohibitions. The man in blue was playing the flute with his eyes downcast, and the melody continued to come out. She heard Yu Ran's flute sound for the first time and couldn't help but listen intently for a moment.

  And he knew that Yu Ran was good at prohibition, and the prohibition in this place actually bound him, it can be seen that it is quite effective.

  "Yu Shizi, someone has come to see you." At this point, a female servant interrupted his playing.

  Yu Ran raised her eyes and looked at her, her gaze slightly averted, until she saw Su Mo, then stared blankly for a moment before hastily jumping up and rushing over to say: "Qingqing, how did you come? Did you come specifically to see me?"

  Su Mo looked at him deeply, "Not bad, I'm here to see you."

  Yu Ran's expression was somewhat delighted, but her eyes were serious as she said: "You saw my mother, didn't you? What did she say to you?"

  Su Mo slowly picked up the lunchbox in his hand, and his enchanting red lips curved into a smile. "Nothing, she asked me to bring you lunch."

  Yu Ran also gazed deeply at her, his eyes somewhat stubborn, muttering: "Really just delivering food?"

  "Is there anything else?" Su Mo's eyebrows slightly raised.

  "I don't want to eat." Yu Ran shook her sleeves and slowly sat down on the couch.

  The snow-white gauze fluttered slightly, and today's Yu Ran gave Su Mo a feeling that was different from before.

  His eyes used to be enchanting like sunshine, but now he is shrouded in dark clouds, with a kind of fleeting and extraordinary aura.

  "Why? Are you really fasting?" Su Mo slightly raised an eyebrow, but elegantly sat down and arranged the dishes on the table with a calm and steady hand, neatly placing the four dishes and one soup in order, two meat dishes and three vegetarian ones, not luxurious at all.

  "It's not a hunger strike, I just have no appetite!" Yu Ran let out a soft sigh, there were some things he simply couldn't say.

  "If you don't eat, I'm afraid it won't be good," Su Mo said softly.

  "You feed me, I'll eat." At this time, Yu Ran hooked her mouth and charmingly approached her.

  His face was very close, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, yet there seemed to be a faint glow emanating from them.

  Su Mo locked eyes with him for a long time, Yu Ran's dark pupils shone with a bewildering light, gazing deeply at her, as if to carve her shadow into his heart. Su Mo could even feel the hidden despair and determination in his heart, and unconsciously said: "It's good this way, I'll feed you."

  She picked up the bowl and chopsticks and personally served Yu Ran, leaving the surrounding maids aghast.

  Yu Ran gazed at her unwaveringly as Su Mo picked up a piece of plain rice with chopsticks, paired it with a dish of green vegetables, and brought it to his lips. He slowly opened his mouth, chewed carefully, and naturally accepted Su Mo's service.

  In Su Mo's mind, however, the scene of him holding a leaf in his mouth to feed her water that day inadvertently emerged, and his cheeks flushed slightly red.

  Yu Ran looked at her face flushing, her eyes flashing slightly, but finally her gaze dimmed.

  What is the most painful thing in this world?

  It's just seeing the person you like is so close, yet ultimately can't be obtained.

  He naturally knew his mother very well, and once he recognized something, it was absolutely impossible to change.

  It seems this is his last time with her, from now on he will return to Wudang City and become the master of that grand palace.

  In that cold palace, he couldn't stay with his beloved woman for long, and could only use time to dilute the beautiful part of his memory.

  He gazed at her crimson lips, gazed at her delicate hair strands, every glance was so serious, as if he was looking at her for the last time in his life.

  That glance became forever, became eternal, until the seas change and time passes, love has turned to ash.

  At this moment, Su Mo raised his eyes, but was stunned, and saw a glimmer of tears at the corner of the man's eye, as if it were the most precious mermaid's tear.

  Just as the two of them were gazing at each other, a maidservant brought out an exquisite box, slowly opened it and carefully placed it on the ground. Next to the box, she put a very precise hourglass. Then, turning around, she slowly lit an incense burner before immediately withdrawing.

  But then the sand in the hourglass began to trickle down, grain by grain.
