The Cold-Blooded Prince's Seductive Consort

  The next day

  The warm sunshine shines brightly, the golden light spreads across the land, bringing a few strands of vitality to the old and dilapidated courtyard. Sparrows flit about on the branches, and occasionally a spring breeze blows by, making it seem even more serene.

  Last night, Shui Lianyue only slept lightly for a while. Although she had applied medicine to her back, the wound was too deep and still ached slightly. Moreover, from last night till now, except for that bottle of Yu Xue Feng San Gao brought out from Bai Hui Shan, there were no other medicines to treat the injury.

  Shui Lian Yue made Hong Ying open the window, quietly lying on the bed with her eyes closed to rest and recover, the wound under her eye had not yet healed, and she couldn't move around.

  "Miss, the young lady has arrived."

  Just as Shui Lianyue closed her eyes, Hong Ying walked in with an unhappy face. Before Shui Lianyue could speak, Shui Muyao strode in through the doorway.

  But seeing her face with a look of disgust, she walked two steps and shook her own shirt, as if the place where she came from was very dirty.

  "I say, Fourth Sister, this place of yours is really too shabby, isn't it?" Shui Mu Yao said disdainfully as she looked around the room, her pale pink water wave satin dress standing out starkly against the surroundings.

  The water ripple moon slowly opened its phoenix eyes, and a cold light flashed in the pupils, only to disappear instantly. After a long while, she replied faintly: "Yes, sister's residence is naturally not as luxurious as my warm pavilion, but... everything in the mansion has always been taken care of by Eldest Madam, so..."

  She didn't continue speaking, but Shui Mu Yao's face turned somewhat unpleasant, "Sister, are you blaming my mother? Don't forget, you and your mother have lived here for many years, Father has never interfered".

  "Huh, sister's body is precious, I don't know why you came here today?" Shui Lian Yue also didn't bother to waste words with Shui Mu Yao on this matter, and quickly changed the subject.

  "Oh, little sister didn't say, big sister almost forgot, mother was worried about little sister and specially asked big sister to bring some supplements to nourish her body." As soon as Shui Mu Yao's words fell, a small maid immediately came in from outside the house, carrying several packages.

  Shui Lian Yue just glanced at her lightly and waved her hand towards Hong Ying, saying: "Thank you for your kindness, sister will accept it. When the wound heals a bit, I'll go over personally to thank you."

  Hong Ying reluctantly accepted the supplement, but since Miss hadn't spoken up, she didn't dare to make a fuss either, afraid of causing more trouble for Miss, so she could only stand aside and swallow her anger.

  Shui Mu Yao was slightly taken aback, not expecting Shui Lian Yue to be so polite. However, she quickly regained her composure and smiled as she picked a flower: "Take good care of your injuries, little sister. And don't forget to pay respects to my mother every day, or next time it won't just be twenty lashes, hehe, you should learn from this experience."

  Shui Mu Yao covered her mouth and smiled lightly, not waiting for Shui Lian Yue to speak, she walked out of the house, took a deep breath, and whispered: "What a broken place, is this still a place for people to live? Mother is really something, actually letting me come to such a broken place, it's so unlucky. Xiuer, hurry up and follow me back to change clothes, go and get rid of the bad luck."

  Hong Ying and Shui Lian Yue were both martial artists, so they naturally heard the few murmurs. Hong Ying was furious, tightly grasping the supplement in her hand, wishing she could tear it to shreds.

  "Miss, look at her behavior, it's clear she has ill intentions. And what's with the gift of supplements? Humph, if not for them, Miss wouldn't have received those twenty lashes. No way, I'll take it away and throw it far, far away, so as not to see it and feel disgusted."

  "Stop right there," Shui Lianyue's voice halted Hong Ying, looking at the several packets of supplements in her hand that had already changed shape. She slowly closed her eyes and said in a low tone, "If you throw them away, it won't be half a moment before someone comes."

  "What?" Hong Ying was taken aback, then suddenly understood, and with a swoop, she threw several packages of supplements onto the table, coldly snorting: "Miss, they are really too much, but what I don't understand is, why do you still tolerate them when they treat us like this? Hong Ying can protect you, Cui Niang, and Madam, we can leave here, it's better than being humiliated by others."

  "You think things are too simple," after a long time, Shui Lianyue let out a light sigh and said slowly.

  Others didn't know, but Shui Lian Yue was very clear that she was originally a lonely soul from another world, attached to her body, and also had fate with her.

  At that time, Shui Lianyue and her mother had suffered all kinds of grievances. Now, she wanted to take them back one by one.

  Sometimes death is a relief, but sometimes living is more painful than dying.

  That's exactly what she wanted.

  She has all the time in the world, pretending to be kind and compassionate like a cat playing with a mouse, it's her favorite game, since they enjoy playing, she will accompany them to the end.

  A mere twenty strokes of the whip, indeed no big deal, however, it did make her see clearly the true coldness and warmth of the world. A father like that, she didn't want him anyway.
