Chu Wang Fei

by Ning er

  After the speech, Yun Xuan Zhi’s hand gently covered Su Qing’s belly. With all his heart, he wanted to sense the little life inside.

  A hot tear which can enter people’s heart fell on his hand. Then the sound of Su Qing’s crying came. Yun Xuan Zhi couldn’t bear it anymore. Both hands held Su Qing’s shoulders, turned her around and fiercely hugged her……

  And Su Qing who buried her face in Yun Xuan Zhi’s chest, finally couldn’t control her emotions anymore. A hand fiercely beat Yun Xuan Zhi’s back. Another hand fiercely held his waist. In his arms, she cried loudly.

  Yun Xuan Zhi’s heart felt guilt, so he didn’t stop her from venting. He quietly held her and let her cry.

  After half an incense stick, did Su Qing hide the tears in her eyes. But when she saw Yun Xuan Zhi’s pale blue tunic full of her own tears, she shyly blushed.

  Yun Xuan Zhi saw her shy but lovely and charming expression, his heart skipped a beat. He picked her up and went towards the big bed. The two people showed tenderness for quiet a while.

  Wang mama who was guarding on the outside, saw that furen totally won, felt happy for Su Qing. Especially when the ears heard the sound of joy of man and woman within the chamber, Wang mama’s smile was like blooming flowers. But Wang mama only cared for the movement in the chamber and completely forgot Yun Ruo Xue who was beside her.

  Yun Ruo Xue, an unmarried girl hearing these sounds; her face has been flushed red. In her heart, she hated Su Qing more. She hated her for not looking at what time it is and that her head is only full of this kind of thing. The pair of hand resting on her knees jerked into fists. She only thought about how to complain later with Yun Xuan Zhi.

  After a long time, did it quiet down in the chamber. It took another half hour before Yun Xuan Zhi walked out from Su Qing’s chamber.

  Yun Ruo Xue saw her opportunity coming, immediately jumped up from the bench. She quickly rushed to Yun Xuan Zhi, but she has been scared by Su Qing’s fierce gaze…..

  “Ah, I forgot, why did Xue er wanted to commit suicide just now? Don’t you know that your mother is pregnant and need to take good care of her body? Next time, if you’re so reckless again, see how I’ll punish you!”

  Yun Xuan Zhi saw Yun Ruo Xue’s expression which still didn’t know the severity, immediately used verbal teaching.

  Yun Ruo Xue saw that after having some happy moments, his target became herself. In a blink her heart is full of grievances. With red eyes, she roared: “Now everyone’s heart and eyes don’t have me. I might as well die! I just want to participate in Lao Tai Jun’s birthday. Why are all of you……”

  Yun Ruo Xue hasn’t finished yet when Su Qing covered her mouth. Incidentally she pulled her backwards. She explained to Yun Xuan Zhi: “It’s no big deal! It’s just that this child didn’t buy any new jewelry to participate in the birthday, so she threw a little temper. After coaxing a little, it’ll be good. You better go see Hua yiniang. Here, there’s me.”

  Yun Xuan Zhi glared once at Yun Ruo Xua and then he nodded with affection to Su Qing.He said softly: “I’ll come see you at night again.”

  After talking, he strode out of Feng He yuan.

  Yun Ruo Xue saw that her only chance has been cut by her biologicial mother. That pair of eyes is full of hatred. But Su Qing only smiled faintly at her and uttered some words that Yun Ruo Xue couldn’t believe: “Since you want to participate in the birthday, your mother will comply with you.”

  Yun Ruo Xue couldn’t believe what she heard. She was shocked and her eyes looked full of suspicion at Su Qing. Her mother raised a hand and grabbed her chin. With a trace of pain did Yun Ruo Xue finally believe that all of this is true. Suddenly a huge joy entered her heart. Yun Ruo Xue hugged Su Qing with a big smile. She asked: “Mother, is this true? Do you really agree?”

  Su Qing seeing her happy like that also laughed. One hand stroked the white gauze on her daughter’s head. She said: “Silly kid, of course it’s true. Would mother lie to you? Later, I’ll let people go inform Yun Qian Meng and old madam to let them come at night. In front of your dad and old madam, I’ll give back her mother’s things to her!”

  Hearing that, Yun Ruo Xue nodded. The ferocious appearance just now completely changed. Carefully, she led the tired Su Qing back in the chamber to rest.

  In Qi Luo yuan, after hearing this news, Mi mama felt that there must be some secret. Otherwise, according to Su Qing’s past behavior, how would she easily return madam’s dowry back to miss.

  Yun Qian Meng is only looking interestingly at the scenery outside the window. On her mouth hung a touch of casual smile, making Mi mama and Mu Chun unable to guess what their miss is thinking at this moment. Or it could be that she has been turned into a state of confusion by Su Qing.

  “Miss, Su yiniang letting you go to Feng He yuan tonight must be some conspiracy. You better not go.”

  In the end Mu Chun is young and isn’t as tolerant as Mi mama. She thought Yun Qian Meng was smiling because she was angry a said those words with worry.

  It’s just that after hearing Mu Chun, Yun Qian Meng smiled more brightly and dazzling. The eyes that were half-closed showed a little coldness like frost making people afraid. But her whole body is exuding a gentle atmosphere, giving people an illusion.

  “Why shouldn’t I go,” Yun Qian Meng softly asked.

  Even Mu Chun and Mi mama knew that Su Qing didn’t have any good intention; naturally Yun Qian Meng knew her purpose.

  Mu Chun and Mi mama was stunned for a moment. They don’t understand how their miss could laugh so happily and asking them rhetorically. She obviously wants to go to the appointment. But that Su Qing never liked to see their miss. Particulary, now that the miss has xiangye’s and old madam’s favor. Su Qing can only try any means to harm, so she wouldn’t really invite miss.

  Seeing that Yun Qian Meng has a not very concerned expression, Mi mama also got anxious. She strode forward, bend her head and whispered in Yun Qian Meng’s ear: “Miss, this afternoon xiangye just came from Feng He yuan. The servant at xiangye’s side said that xiangye stayed at Feng He yuan for nearly two hours. He went in very angry, but when he went out, his face was blooming. Miss, this explains the problem. Presumably Su yiniang gained favor again. Doesn’t this mean that she wants to give you a heavy blow with xiangye’s favor?! Before we were too softhearted and didn’t quickly dispose her!”

  Saying till there, Mi mama’s eyes were full of regret. Staying in this big yuan for such a long time, she has been long accustomed to seeing the phenomenon of losing favor and then gaining favor again. But she reacted too late. Before, she didn’t expect that there won’t be an opportunity to suppress Su Qing till she can’t stand up again. The result (of reacting too late) now is that it caused trouble for miss and may harm her body again (by too much thinking).

  Yun Qian Meng saw that Mi mama is upset like that, the coldness in her eyes flashed a trace of warmth. She said warmly: “Mama, if we can really dispose of Su Qing then with Fu Guo Gong Fu’s power, they’ll surely would have investigated mother’s death that year. Since she can deceive the heaven and earth, then naturally she’ll have her means and schemes. We mustn’t look down on her just because her status is that of a yiniang.”

  That year, Su Qing killed her little brother but left herself was not because of her heart was compassionate or her hands are lenient. This matter told herself that Su Qing is someone with intelligence.

  By killing Yun Xuan Zhi’s son, she got rid of the most important enemy. Otherwise, if this child grows up, will certainly be suspicious of his biological mother’s death. By that time, between a concubine and an heir, Yun Xuan Zhi certainly will choose his successor. Then this child will certainly take revenge for his mother. Su Qing naturally won’t have a good end.

  Therefore, she bribed a midwife and got rid of that child without anyone finding out. That was Su Qing’s first step in her plan. And leaving herself is just to block Fu Guo Gong Fu. After all, if Qu Ruo Li died after leaving a daughter, as
long as the midwife announces that Qu Ruo Li died from giving birth, even Fu Guo Gong Fu could do nothing. And she after all is a girl. In the future, she’ll be married off; poured out water. The threat to Su Qing is not as big as a son’s. And so letting herself live on, is the second step in Su Qing’s plan. And this little girl already suffered in the womb. Naturally, it’ll be difficult to keep her alive. In the future, if she accidentally died, would only be blamed that the child’s life is unlucky. Being reincarnated into a rich family but doesn’t have the life to survive. Then the blame will only be on herself. Therefore, Su Qing is considerate on the surface, but in secret wished for the death of the previous Yun Qian Meng. Have to say, that this step by step calculation of Su Qing, even water can’t leak through. However, everything was for nothing. She forgot that Yun Qian Meng has an aunt called empress dowager. Fortunately, there’s the empress dowager’s protection that Yun Qian Meng can become an adult in this difficult xiangfu. Although she doesn’t want to admit it and regardless for what purpose the empress dowager put Shui er and Bing er by her side, Yun Qian Meng can stay alive till this day is really because of the empress dowager’s protection.

  If she didn’t guess wrong, at the same time Su Qing sent people to invite her, she also sent people to invite the old madam. She fears that this time Su Qing went too drastic and made a bold gamble. Su Qing wants to give her Qu Ruo Li’s dowry back in front of Yun Xuan Zhi and old madam. At the same time Su Qing wants to state that she is just keeping it custody. If she accepts Su Qing’s kindness, it’ll bury the suspicion of Yun Xian Zhi and old madam have towards Su Qing and at the same time create hostility for her.

  If she refuse, then she’s afraid that this dowry will forever become Su Qing’s private wealth. Have to say, Su Qing really is very smart. But, she’s not clever to the point that she (YQM) can’t use any strategy against to.

  The mouth slightly curved up, making a smile that’s colder than ice. Yun Qian Meng looked out the window at the gradually falling sunset. Her heart is actually looking forward to the night that the sunset will bring.

  Night soon fell. The dark night is dotted with countless of stars. So dazzling yet so cold.

  After Mi mama and Mu Chu served and waited for Yun Qian Meng to finish dinner, they help her put on her outer shirt. Afraid of the night wind and frost, they specially added a single cloak. Then they walked out of Qi Luo yuan to Feng He yuan.

  And at this time in Feng He yuan, Su Qing is gently accompanying Yun Xuan Zhi finishing off dessert. Then the two people went back in the inner chamber and talked too each other about what happened in these past few days.

  Yun Ruo Xue is already waiting. Her eyes frequently looked out of the window, wishing that Yun Qian Meng arrives more quickly.

  When Yun Qian Meng and her people arrived at the garden. They unexpectedly encountered old madam and her entourage. They immediately approached and paid their respects. But at this time, old madam’s expression isn’t very good. Just when she saw Yun Qian Meng did she give a very small smile. However, it’s no wonder. The things about Yun Xuan zhi staying in the afternoon at Feng He yuan must have spread to every corner of xiangfu. Old madam naturally also knows. Not to mention that after Yun Xuan Zhi left, Su Qing sent a notice to old madam to let her come to Feng He yuan after dinner. Where should old madam put her face? A little yiniang, just getting a little favored, forgot who she (yiniang) is and is beginning to command the zhumu of this house. It’ll really be strange if old madam didn’t get angry.

  Yun Qian Meng took all of this into her eyes, but didn’t mention it. Even more, she didn’t say anything bad about Su Qing in front of old madam, but she is rather passionately holding old madam’s hand and asking concerned what for dished old madam used for dinner. If the dished isn’t to her taste, she must definitely tell the kitchen.

  Old madam saw that in front of this granddaughter, she still has face. The cool air on her face lessened a bit more. Her hand lightly patted Yun Qian Meng’s hand and said smilingly: “Yatou6, don’t worry. All is well with zhumu. Liu yiniang is also a caring person. She thought about all the necessities of life even more than the people around me. Coupled with yatou’s concern for zhumu, I’m already really comfortable.”

  The meaning of the words is really evident. In Bai Shun Tang it’s really comfortable, but outside Bai Shun Tang it’s not to old madam’s heart.

  Yun Qian Meng smiled, but didn’t say a word. She pretended to hear the lines between those words. She only single-minded walked with old madam to Feng He yuan.

  At this time, the maids in Feng HE yuan already ran into the inner chamber to inform Su Qing. When Yun Qian Meng and old madam walked into the inner chamber, the people inside, already stood up and greeted old madam.

  Yun Qian Meng let her gaze swept over the expression of the people inside the chamber. Just seeing that Yun Xuan Zhi’s face is full of happiness, Su Qing looked really charming, Yun Ruo Xue’s eyes are full of joy. Just in half a day, Su Qing appeased both Yun Xuan Zhi and Yun Ruo Xue!

  At this time, Su Qing is also looking at Yun Qian Meng. Seeing that Yun Qian Meng looked indifferent and calm, hate flashed through Su Qing’s smiling eyes, which was then covered with a ticker smile and attended the old madam to her seat.

  Old madam is also blunt. With a cold face, she sat on the seat where Yun Xuan zhi sat just now. The maids poured new tea. After everyone drank a mouthful, did the old madam glance at Yun Xuan Zhi and said: “Su yiniang is more and more precious now and able order this old woman (she’s referring to herself)!”

  After those words, Yun Xuan Zhi’s expression didn’t change and still looked at Su Qing with eyes full of affection. And Su Qing with a terrified expression walked to the front of old madam and explained: “Old madam, don’t get angry! Because there is important matter that nubi didn’t have a choice but to send people to invite old madam.”

  While she was talking, Su Qing anted to kneel but Yun Xuan Zhi got up fast and held her. Then he turned to old madam and said: “Mother, Su yiniang is pregnant. Don’t toss her so. After all, son is already a middle aged man. It’s not easy. Hope that mother will agree.”

  Those words of old madam just now are just to probe out Yun Xuan Zhi’s attititude. Now that she knows that he is a shield for Su Qing, old madam also knows with which tone, she should speak. She nodded with a slightly cold face and let people come get a stool for Su Qing. Then did she speak again: “In the end, what is that matter that you even had to call Meng er over?! At this moment you’re pregnant and Meng er is a girl. If she saw something, she shouldn’t have seen, wouldn’t people say that the rules of xiangfu are lax?”

  Facing with such degree of provocation, naturally Su Qing won’t put it to mind. At this moment, she lovingly exchanged a glance with Yun Xuan Zhi. After that did she answered old madam: “Nubi wasn’t thoughtful enough, hope that old madam will forgive nubi. However, today’s matter is related to eldest miss. That’s why nubi took the liberty to invite eldest miss over.”

  Hearing that, Yun Qian Meng’s eyebrows raised a little. A suspicious light entered the eyes. She looked puzzled at Su Qing: “Relate to me? What is this matter?!”

  Su Qing saw that Yun Qian Meng is putting on an act. In her heart she said that later Yun Qian Meng will show her true colors. So she didn’t hurry to expose Yun Qian Meng. She said with a smile: “Eldest miss, don’t need to be nervous. Naturally, this is good matter.”

  The people heard Su Qing saying those words, their eyes exposed doubts. Especially old madam. The eyes looking at Yun Qian Meng has blame in them as if Yun Qian Meng is also concealing something from her.

  Seeing that, Yun Qian Meng knew that her analysis this afternoon of Su Qing is correct. Seeing old madam’s attitude, Su Qing must’ve calculated everyone’s temper when planning all of this. Following old madam’s suspicious personality, she put this topic in the air and didn’t uncover it, letting the misunderstanding that old madam has against herself (YQM) grew bigger and bigger. And Su Qing
became the one watching a show from all side lines.

  Yun Qian Meng didn’t dodge. She smiled generously at old madam and slowly said: “The best matter is about Su yiniang giving birth to a boy for father. In face of such a matter, any good matter will become insignificant!”

  Old madam saw that Yun Qian Meng’s eyes are full of honesty and she heard the meaning of the words. She knew that Su Qing deliberately said that to alienate their feelings. She glared at Su Qing with eyes full of anger.

  Su Qing also really didn’t think that Yun Qian Meng is this tough. She obviously pointed the spearhead at her (YQM). The old madam’s eyes just now also explained that it worked, but in a blink of eye, Yun Qian Meng turned things around. She, herself again became the thorn in old madam’s eyes. Thinking about that, Su Qing became more carefully in dealing with Yun Qian Meng.

  At that side, Yun Ruo Xue is already anxious. Occasionally, she pulled the clothes on Su Qing’s back as to remind her to not waste time on riddles.

  Su Qing saw that Yun Ruo Xue is so impetuous, her mind flashed anger. And another thought, Yun Qian Meng mouth is so eloquent. It’s better to get to the point now, otherwise Yun Qian Meng will be able to get shift the topic and all will be for nothing.

  Therefore, Su Qing no longer goes in circles and directly cut the chase. With serious eyes she looked at Yun Qian Meng. Her eyes are looming with tears. Her voice is choking: “Eldest Miss, nubi asked you to come today, it’s because the matter of the dowry that furen left!”

  After hearing those words, Yun Xuan Zhi’s eyes turned more serious. And old madam is looking forward to it. The body that is originally sitting on a soft pillow, involuntarily sat up and is waiting for Su Qing’s following words.

  Yun Qian Meng saw the two people’s expressions. From that glance she can conclude that Yun Xuan Zhi knows the matter of Su Qing making Qu Ruo Li’s dowry her own. And old madam’s eyes are full of greed. Her mind must’ve gone to the dowry.
