Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 405

~ NOT FROM THE SU FAMILY? ~
Mu Yunyao supported Su Qing walked into the room. Just as they reached the inner door, they heard Su Wenyuan’s angry shout. He deliberately did not lower his voice as if to let everyone know.
Su Qing stretched out her hand to grasp Mu Yunyao’s finger and squeezed it with a slight force. “Yao’er, have you thought about what kind of courtyard we’re going to buy?”
When she saw Su Qing’s encouraging gaze, a smile suddenly blossomed. “Mother, we’ll buy whatever kind of courtyard you like. There are many good courtyards in the Capital, and the scenery is also pretty good. We can slowly choose.”
Su Qing smiled and nodded, “Alright, this time you have to be more careful. After all, you have to stay here for a long time.”
“Listen to Mother.”
Inside Jiyue Pavilion, Jin Lan, Jin Qiao, and the others were quickly packing their things. Su Qing went upstairs to help while Mu Yunyao sat in the main hall and waited for Liu Liang to return.
Not long after, Liu Liang entered through the door. “Greetings, Mistress.”
“No need to be so courteous. Are your wounds alright?” “Mistress, you don’t have to worry. It’s all right.” Liu Liang got up, his eyes were calm without a ripple, but a light flashed when he looked at Mu Yunyao, “Mistress, the Su family’s residence gate has already been closed, and there are also guards guarding it. All carriages and horses have been controlled, but we need someone to come and help us.”
Mu Yunyao shook her head slightly. “Those people under you can’t be used easily. The more secret they are, the more they can play a role at the critical moment. The Su family is thinking too highly of themselves. Do they really think that they can trap my mother and me here just by closing the residence door?”
Liu Liang suddenly turned his head. “Mistress, someone is coming.”
Mu Yunyao nodded at him, indicating for him to hide behind a screen at the side. As soon as Liu Liang hid, Second Madam brought Su You into the hall.
“Greetings Second Aunt, Elder Sister Su You.”
The Second Madam’s face was full of worry as she helped Su You to sit down, then said: “Yunyao, Su You said she remembered something and wanted to tell you about it.”
“Elder Sister Su You, what do you want to say?”
Su You tightly clenched her fingers. Her face was pale and carrying a heavy uneasiness: “Yunyao, I’m not sure if what I’m saying is true or not. However, when I saw Mo Yu fished out of the pond today, I suddenly remembered something. It should be very long time ago, i it seems to be when I was five or six years old...”
Seeing Su You tremble so badly, Mu Yunyao poured a cup of hot tea and put it in her hand, “Elder Sister Su You, you don’t need panic. Just slow down and say whatever you want to say.”
“I don’t know if I can remember clearly. I’ve always been in poor health. My mother was worried that something had happened to me, so she didn’t let me go out to play. My temper was also not good, and all my sisters refused to come close to me. I like to hide in corners and watch people come and go. That day, I went to Ninghe Gardenand happened to see … cough cough....”
Images flashed through Su You’s mind, making her involuntarily tense up. She raised her teacup, wanting to drink a mouthful, but she was accidentally choked.
Mu Yunyao stepped forward and took the teacup, and held her hand. With a gentle tone, she said, “It’s just a matter of the past. Elder Sister Su You, you don’t need to be afraid.”
Su You took a deep breath before gradually calming down, “I saw Grandmother dealing with a mama. Someone was carrying a large basin of water, and Grandmother had someone hold the head of that mama to put it into the basin. That mama was always struggling, and the water splashed everywhere. Grandmother sat down on a chair, looking extremely happy....”
Mu Yunyao slightly frowned. Such a thing, in the eyes of a five or six-year-old child, was indeed remarkably terrifying.
“Grandmother seemed to have deliberately tortured the mama, and when she was about to drown, she had the maid let her go. I heard that that mama was cursing Grandmother, saying that she would definitely be punished by the heavens for stealing the Imperial Bloodline.” Su You tightly clenched her fist, and her body couldn’t stop trembling. “Then Grandmother asked people to slap the mama’s mouth. The mama couldn’t stop spitting blood and her teeth falling apart. Grandmother said that she was not afraid, that no one could stopthe wealth of the Su family, that not only would Grand Princess Yi De not blame her, but she would also be grateful to the Su family.”
Mu Yunyao’s heart shook as her heart was filled with shock. Royal Bloodline, Grand Princess Yi De?

“Then the mama struggled to get up as if she wanted to hit Grandmother. Being held down by the maid, she continued to be pressed into the basin and eventually drowned. The water in the basin was clear at first, but it turned bloody-red later. I panicked and accidentally hit a vase on the side. The vase fell on the ground, attracting Grandmother’s attention, and then I was thrown into the pond. Although I managed to survive, I completely forgot about that memory.”
After Second Madam heard this, her eyes filled with hatred, “That year, You’er was only five years and three months old. She fell into a pond in the middle of autumn, and by the time she was fished out, she had already stopped breathing. I pushed out the water in her stomach and hugged her for four hours before her body gradually warmed up … Afterwards, I killed the maids who served her. I thought they had not taken good care of her, but I had no idea there was something behind it. From that time on, Su You’s body gradually deteriorated. Every day, I felt scared. I thought the root of the disease was due to her falling into the pond. But now that I think about it, I’m afraid that from that time on, the Old Madam secretly made a move to kill Su You in order to prevent her from revealing this secret.”
If Su You hadn’t fallen into the pond, had a high fever, and forgotten that memory, she was afraid her daughter would have died long ago.
Mu Yunyao tightly knitted her brows, the various emotions in her heart roiling back and forth. Stealing from the Imperial Bloodline and Grand Princess Yi De… After connecting the dots, her eyes turned cold as a light flashed through her mind.
The Su family claimed to have lost their child. But after finding her mother and her, they did not see the slightest affection. On the contrary, they had always wanted to take their lives, especially the Old Madam. The gaze Old Madam used to look at herself was filled with disgust and fear as if she would bring disaster to the Su family.
In the past, she had been at a loss of what to do. Now that she thought about it, could it be that her mother had not been of the Su family at all, but she had been the child of Grand Princess Yi De?
The Second Madam raised her head and looked at Mu Yunyao with a worried gaze. “Yunyao, I think that Little Sister Su Qing … No, Madam Su, she … she … she may be the lost daughter of the Grand Princess Yi De.”
Mu Yunyao raised her gaze, and a billowing coldness flashed within. “Whether it’s true or not, you’ll know after you ask the Old Madam.”
“Yao’er, this is definitely an important matter. I’m afraid the Old Madam won’t tell you?”
“It doesn’t matter whether she says it or not. Since I know some clues, I will definitely investigate and find out the truth sooner or later. Right now, I just want to find her and confirm. Also, Mother and I are leaving, so it is reasonable for me to go and say goodbye to her.”
“That’s true. Then I’ll go and make the arrangements right now. I’ll have someone think of a way to send Su Wenyuan away so that you can meet the Old Madam alone.”
Mu Yunyao nodded and stood up to pay her respects to Second Madam, “Thank you for your troubles, Second Aunt.”
“You can’t do this.” The Second Madam hastily stepped aside and didn’t accept Mu Yunyao’s courtesy. “If it’s … If you and Madam Su really are not of the Su family bloodline, and instead are from the Imperial family....”
Mu Yunyao stepped forward and held Second Madam’s hand. “Second Aunt has always taken care of me, and those who don’t know are not guilty. Regardless of whether this matter is true or false, it will never implicate innocent people who don’t know anything.”
The Second Madam suddenly broke into a smile and nodded her head. “Then I will make the arrangements now.”
