Chapter Thirty-Four: After the Storm

  The rain, the more it fell, the bigger it got, the wind suddenly picked up, and the branches of the trees swayed wildly. The boats on the lake also rocked with the wind, but the atmosphere inside was not affected at all by the storm. The sky changed suddenly, and the stars were hidden in the dark clouds, changing unpredictably.

  Shui Lianyue and Hong Ying returned to Lan Xiang Ge, quickly changing into clean clothes. The front yard's Wu Yan Ge and Nuan Yao Ge were brightly lit, the scene inside was even more lively than the storm raging outside.

  However, Shui Lian Yue did not intend to go over, presumably her father and mother were there too. The small bamboo tube's intoxicating fragrance could originally only last for a short while. Everything was under her control as planned.

  Moreover, in today's play, Shui Mu Yao is the protagonist. Even if she doesn't go now, it will be the same tomorrow.

  Tonight, in the entire Shui Fu, perhaps only the people in Lan Xiang Pavilion slept most soundly.

  Yu Wang Fu

  Nan Gong Yu leaned against the headboard, listening to the report from outside the tent. His originally drowsy eyes suddenly became wide awake, deep and unfathomable, with a hint of chill that made the temperature in the room drop sharply, not warmer than outside at all.

  "Hmph, is this the woman I'm supposed to marry? But what a clever little trick, truly vicious." After a long while, Nan Gong Yu let out a cold hum, and for an instant, a hint of admiration flashed in his dark eyes. However, Qing Heng outside the tent couldn't see it, thinking that Prince Yu was even more disgusted with the woman.

  "Prince Wang, however, that Shui family's Shui Mu Yao indeed went too far. It seems that this time the rumors in the capital city have something to do with her mother," Qing Huan seemed to be defending Shui Lian Yue and replied with his head lowered.

  At this time, he had changed into a clean set of clothes, but his black hair was still disheveled and damp, as if he had just washed it.

  "This matter will be thoroughly investigated, no matter what that woman is like. She's using the flag of being my future queen, but I want to see who dares to tarnish the reputation of our royal family." Nan Gong Yu nodded slightly and continued, "Keep an eye on her, there's only a month left until the wedding day, don't let her cause any more trouble for me. If necessary, help her out."

  When Qing Hui heard Nan Gong Yu's words, he thought he had misheard. The king... the king actually asked him to help that woman from the Water family? Before he could react, Nan Gong Yu waved his hand, signaling Qing Hui to withdraw.

  After leaving the room, Qing Miao smiled slightly. It seems that his Royal Highness is not a heart of stone after all. He's unusually attentive to this woman from the Water family. I've never seen him treat any other woman with such care. Perhaps she'll become the first lady of the Wang Manor in the future. We should pay more attention to her from now on.

  After a storm, the sunshine is exceptionally bright and beautiful. The azure sky has not a single white cloud. Occasionally, laughter can be heard from inside the Lan Xiang Pavilion, which shows that when the weather is good, people's mood will also be good.

  After breakfast, Shui Lianyue and Hong Ying began to stroll around the mansion. If it were an ordinary day, they wouldn't have had the leisure to do so. But today was different from usual days. The eldest lady's most precious daughter had been schemed against by Shui Lianyue, so they naturally should go "console" Shui Muyao.

  However, Shui Lianyue wouldn't be foolish enough to directly go find Shui Musuo. As per Father's rules, she would go to the Musuo Pavilion every day to pay her respects, not just today, but from now on, she would do so daily.

  Arriving at Dusk Pavilion, everything seemed as usual, yet somehow, something was missing.

  "Miss, have you noticed that there are a lot fewer servants at Musui Pavilion?" Hong Ying observed the surroundings before whispering to Shui Lian Yue.

  Shui Lianyue glanced at her lightly, her red lips opening slightly, her voice also very low: "This doesn't count as anything, wait until the madam has no status in the manor, you'll find that this Musui Pavilion is not much different from the Lanxiang Pavilion." Qing Fengyun's words were calm, but they carried a hint of arrogance.

  Hong Ying felt a chill run down her spine, what did it mean that the great madam had no status? She swallowed hard and didn't think about it anymore, closely following her own young mistress into the Musou Pavilion.

  PS: In the text, the four subordinates of King Yu, TuTu thinks the names are not quite suitable and have been changed to: Mo Yun, Qing Mao, Ming Che, Ye Han.

  Also, Toto has updated again, this time it's absolutely stable, don't worry about it.

  Hope you all will continue to support TuTu, (*^__^*) hehe......
