The Cold-Blooded Prince's Seductive Consort

  At this moment, the door of the inner room slowly opened, and a figure stood like a lone grass swaying in the cold wind, clinging to the door frame looking out at the outer house. Due to long illness, even the delicate face that had not been eroded by time was now wan and haggard, but when her eyes met those of Shui Lian Yue, the dead stillness within them seemed to ignite a flame, shining with an extraordinary radiance.

  "Yue er, yue er, my yue er", Ying Rong stepped out of the door, but fell to the ground due to lack of strength. Suddenly, she felt a figure flashing before her eyes, and when she looked again, she was already in the arms of Shui Yun Yue.

  "Mother, I'm here...", Shui Lianyue looked at Ying Rong, feeling the weight on her arm, and a lump in her throat. Mother's illness must have dragged on for a long time without being cured.

  "Daughter... my daughter...", Fourth Mistress Ying Rong struggled to lift her arm, and gently touched the cheek of Shui Yun Yue, tears streaming down her face. "My good daughter, where have you been all these years..."

  "Mother, Moon is now safe and sound back home, so let's not mention what happened in the past. In short, Moon will never leave Mother again. Now that Moon has learned martial arts, I can also protect Mother and no one will bully us again." Shui Lian Yue tightly hugged Ying Rong and said softly, with a hint of coldness and a flash of sharpness in her slightly reddened phoenix eyes.

  As soon as Shui Lianyue had helped her mother onto the bed, she heard a commotion and footsteps outside the courtyard. She glanced at Hong Xiang, who understood and went out to investigate. After tucking in her mother's quilt, she was about to leave when Ying Rong suddenly grabbed her arm.

  "Yue Er, don't...don't provoke them...if you can bear it, then bear it", Ying Rong seemed to have used up all her strength, and as soon as she finished speaking, she started panting.

  "Don't worry, Mother, I'll handle it myself," after saying that, Shui Lian Yue put her mother's arm down and turned to walk out of the inner room, her stunning face suddenly becoming even colder.

  Outside, the maidservants filled the courtyard, led by Madame Liu Ruoyan. She wore a dazzlingly beautiful cheongsam with silver-blue satin and embroidered with a striking red peony. Her face was delicate, but always carried an air of arrogance and disdain for others. However, Shui Lianyue had to admit that Liu Ruoyan really knew how to dress up, even at over 40 years old, she still had a lingering charm.

  Next, behind the first wife was the second wife Meng Qiuhua and the third wife Zhao Hanyu. The two of them were in full bloom, their appearance even surpassing that of the first wife. Although their clothes were only secondary to those of the first wife, the embroidery was extremely fine, with the dark blue and white jasmine flowers seeming to come alive on their bodies, a true delight to behold.

  "I heard that the fourth young lady has returned, so I came to take a look. Where is the fourth young lady?" The madam's tone was light, but carried a hint of disdain. Seeing only a small servant girl standing at the door, she couldn't help but feel some anger. She had come in such a big way, and even if she were dreaming, she should have been woken up by now. But unexpectedly, there was only a young and inexperienced servant girl standing at the door, not putting her, the mistress of the house, in her eyes at all.

  "Madam is asking you a question, are you deaf?" The personal maid New Mei beside Madam saw that Hong Yu was ignored and immediately stepped forward two steps, pointing at the tip of Hong Yu's nose and scolding.

  Hong Ying was already somewhat annoyed, now being pointed at and yelled at, suddenly her head got hot, with a single move of her hand, she broke Xing Mei's wrist, just hearing Xing Mei's cry of surprise, before falling to the ground and fainting.

  The maid beside her saw the situation and hurried to support her, while Madame was so angry that her chest heaved with rage, her face turned red with anger, and even her eyes flashed with a fierce light. "Good, very good, you've come back, and brought back this cheap thing too! You're really a low-born woman, what kind of master has what kind of servant? Someone, go call Wu the housekeeper for me, I want to see how arrogant this cheap thing can be today!"

  Waiting for the maid to run out, Hongying faced the lady's angry gaze, still expressionless and heartbeatless, not putting her in her eyes at all, pulling the corner of her mouth, hooking out a hint of contempt, not even giving the lady a straight look.

  "Red Tassel, do not be rude," just as Red Tassel was feeling a bit self-satisfied, the sound of Shuiyue's voice came from inside the house, causing even Madame and others to pause in surprise. The voice seemed to carry for miles, with an ethereal quality that was both clear and sweet, truly worthy of being called heavenly music.

  The next moment, the people in the courtyard gasped in unison. The woman who stepped out of the doorway was dressed in white, and she looked as if the Ninth Heaven's Mystical Maiden had descended to the mortal world. Her stunning beauty was enough to captivate everyone without needing any makeup. Her skin was like ice and jade, with a hint of pink beneath her pale complexion. Her long eyelashes formed an arc, resembling a small comb. Her nose was exquisitely carved, neither too big nor too small. The corners of her light pink lips were curled up in a faint smile, and even the red tassels couldn't help but be mesmerized by her eyes once again.

  Only, in Shui Lian Yue's faint smile, there was a hint of mockery and ridicule. Just now, she hadn't even come out yet, but had only let Cui Cui style her hair into a simple bun. As for her face, without any makeup or rouge, she already looked stunning. Her three thousand black locks cascaded down like black satin, soft and lustrous.

  This is her capital, Mrs. Wang had been jealous of her since she was a young girl and became the king's concubine, and later because of this stunning beauty, secretly plotted against her, and actually sold her to a brothel, so she used this face as her weapon, to deal with this vicious woman.
