Chapter Nineteen He Really Made His Move

  Lin'an Temple

  "Master, what's next? Actually, Master doesn't have to waste his time on her." Lyu Muzhe told He Lanting about Murong Yi's reaction. His idea was that Murong Yi had a beautiful appearance, but she was absolutely not a stunning woman.

  He Lan Ting's phoenix eyes slightly moved, her expression unchanged, only a faint smile on her lips as she said: "Since that's the case, you may take action."

  ……

  The next day, the sky was overcast and hazy, with a faint smell of mud in the air. The patter of raindrops on the roof and the occasional gusts of wind blowing against the windows made it impossible to fall asleep, with each sound louder than the last.

  In ancient times, windows did not have soundproofing effects, and whatever sounds came from outside could be heard inside the house.

  Murong Yi tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep due to the sound of footsteps. When she opened her eyes, she suddenly found a small, soft, warm thing in her arms! Her nerves tensed up instantly, just as she was about to chop it down with one hand, a delicate and lovely little face appeared before her eyes.

  Is it sunny today?

  When did this little bun sneak in? And so quietly?! Most importantly, those small hands and legs are all on her body!

  The little bun seemed to have not heard the commotion outside at all and was sleeping very soundly.

  This feeling... is too strange.

  Her hand slowly fell, gently stroking Tian Er's back, each stroke very gentle. After a few strokes, she suddenly woke up with a start - when had she become so maternal?

  "Mother..." Tian Er slowly opened his blurry eyes and looked up at Murong Yi, his soft and gentle voice making people's hearts feel warm and fuzzy.

  "Hmm?" Murong Yi responded lightly. From yesterday to now, it was only a day and a night, but her identity had undergone a tremendous change, from a modern person to an ancient one, from an unmarried woman to a mother with children. To be honest, she still felt a bit awkward about it.

  Tian'er buried his small face in Murong Yi's bosom, with a hint of grievance and some small resentment in his words. "Mother, can't we rescue Little Ya sister?" In the past, when he was at the Wang Fu, those servants were not good to him, only Little Ya sister treated him well, and after Little Ya sister left, no one had truly been kind to him again.

  Little Ya sister? Who is it?

  Murong Yi furrowed her brow, and a figure gradually appeared in her mind - a 13 or 14-year-old girl who had been serving Murong Yi since she was four years old. She followed Murong Yi to the Huainan Wangfu after marriage. Half a year ago, she collided with Chen Yao while protecting Murong Yi. To appease Gong Piao, Murong Yi sent Xiaoya out of the mansion. At that time, Murong Yi felt guilty towards Xiaoya and gave her 500 taels of silver. Xiaoya left with tears in her eyes.

  "Little Ya sister is so pitiful, Tian Er heard people say that Little Ya sister is in that dirty place, every day she's in agony. Mother, Little Ya sister is a good person." Tian Er said with a wrinkled face, carefully speaking to Mu Rong Yi.

  Murong Yi raised an eyebrow, according to her memory, Xiaoya should have been doing well with the 500 taels of silver she had taken. After all, 500 taels was enough for a ordinary family to live a worry-free life for generations. "Tian'er, tell mother slowly." Tian'er was only two years old, but she was smarter and more sensible than most children. Tian'er suddenly mentioned Xiaoya, it wasn't that she had just thought of her, probably she had been wanting to talk about her all along.

  Tian'er shook her head sincerely, "Tian'er heard people downstairs say that Little Ya Jie is now dirty and in pain every day."

  Listening to this, Murong's eyebrows furrowed tightly, her eyes flashing with a hint of cold light. Could it be...

  "Niang, Xiaoya jiejie is very good to Tian'er." Tian'er tightly grasped Mu Rongyi's arm, his small face filled with expectation as he looked at Mu Rongyi.

  That almost extravagant pure gaze suddenly touched Murong Yi, and she smiled in response: "Yes, mother promised Tian'er."

  As she spoke, she narrowed her eyes, which had been filled with doubt, and for some reason, calmed down to reorganize her memories of Murong Yi. She found that something was off, it didn't seem continuous, but where exactly was the problem, she couldn't quite put her finger on.

  Needless to say, this is a point. At the same time, what's going on with this Xiao Ya? The rumors among the people will not be unfounded. In my memory, Xiao Ya was a simple and lovely girl, and from childhood, her only firm thought was to protect Mu Rong Yi. Whenever someone bullied Mu Rong Yi, Xiao Ya would be the first to get angry. Half a year ago, Chen Yao bullied Mu Rong Yi, Mu Rong Yi endured it silently, Xiao Ya wanted to help Mu Rong Yi at all costs, but unfortunately, she was calculated by Chen Yao and eventually sent out of the house by Mu Rong Yi.

  Could it be... that Chen Yao secretly harmed Xiao Ya?

  Just as I was in doubt, someone directly pushed open the door.

  The newcomer is full of vigor and momentum.

  It's finally here! The storm has arrived! It's raining, but that won't stop them. King Xian's Lan Ting is indeed quick to act, and without even leaving the house, one can imagine the entire city's streets and alleys discussing how ruthless she is.

  Hmph.

  "Big sister, second sister, what's the hurry? This uninvited behavior is no different from that of a commoner." Murong Yi raised her eyes slightly, her lazy gaze sharply sweeping towards the two people standing at the door.

  The door opened and the wind mixed with rain blew in, chillingly cold. In front of the door, those two were arrogant and domineering.

  Murong Yi's mouth curved into a perfect arc, great, really good.

  "Stop spouting nonsense, don't you still know your own identity? A discarded wife, long without a good reputation. If it weren't for Master and I being lenient towards you, would you have been able to return to the Prime Minister's residence? Unbelievable that you're ungrateful, yet dare to scheme against Yin'er? Dare to scheme against Master and me!" Jiang Yue's anger reached the sky, after being coldly ridiculed by Murong Yi, she became even more enraged, unable to refrain from loudly scolding. Now thinking about those dowries being swindled away by Murong Yi with empty hands, how could she be willing to accept it?

  Murong Yin's eyes were filled with hatred as she stared at Murong Yi, her snow-white face devoid of any expression. Her voice was cold as ice as she said, "I never thought that one day I would lose to you."

  Fortunately, she was cleared of all charges and now everyone in the capital knows that it was Murong Yi who framed her.

  Upon hearing this, Murong Yi burst out laughing: "Hmph, first of all, you don't know shame, you took my mother's dowry, and now I'm supposed to be the one who's calculating? You really are shameless. Secondly, I remember it clearly, wasn't it you and Father who actively brought me back to the manor? I was crying and begging to come back!

  She shifted her gaze to Murong Yin: "Someone who doesn't know shame voluntarily offered themselves up to be slept with, I merely gave you the opportunity to fly high and become a phoenix, but you weren't charming enough, and ended up ruining your own reputation. What does that have to do with me?"
