Chapter 69 - "I know. It wasn't you who said it." (2)
When the second aunt heard that, she slammed her bowl down onto the table and said, “What do you mean by that, sister-in-law? My brother is still pretty healthy. I don’t think you need to rush to look for a daughter-in-law yet, do you now?”
Wang LiZhen pursed her lips a little and tried to save the situation. “Little sister-in-law, that’s not what I meant. I think you are reading too much into it.”
“Sister-in-law, do you think that your son XiYuan is the son of Mu’s but not ZhenYu? What do you mean by the Mu’s business will become his in the end?” Mu Ling looked at Wang LiZhen’s hands that were covered in grease from peeling the braised pawns and said with subtext, “Disgusting.”
Mu Ling was old madam’s favorite daughter. Wang LiZhen wasn’t bold enough to go up against her in front of the old madam. She could only force a smile and said, “Aiya, look at me. I was just worry about XiYuan was all. Little sister-in-law, you should keep an eye out for XiYuan too.”
Mu Ling snickered, picked up a prawn and brought it over to Xu WanZhi’s and said, “WanZhi, I know you need to watch your shape as an actress. Prawns should be alright though, right?”
Xu WanZhi thanked her and, before she could bring her bowl over to take the prawn, Mu ZhenYu took it away with his chopsticks.
“I’ll peel it for her.” He said as he gave her a deep and meaningful look. He then skillfully peeled the prawns and put it inside of her bowl.
Mu Ling had on a loving smile the entire time and said in a neither friendly nor distant tone, “Look at them. They are so in love. It’s all about finding your own partner in this day and age. Somethings just can’t be forced. This matchmaking thing doesn’t always work. There’s no love to speak of when two are together because of money.”
The old madam didn’t like this either. She purposefully ate loudly to show her displeasure.
Seeing that most everyone had stopped talking, Xu WanZhi picked up the napkin, wiped her mouth, looked up and asked, “Old Madam, ZhenYu mentioned XiYuan’s illness to me previously. His back is sore and he feels chilly all the time, and has some dizziness and ringing in the ears. It sounded a lot like the symptoms that a friend of mine had a while ago.”
The old madam didn’t care for Xu WanZhi, but when her younger grandson’s illness was brought up, her eyes lit up reflexively. “And what happened to your friend?”
“Just like little brother XiYuan’s illness, he went to a lot of doctors to no avail. Finally, he went to a traditional doctor and was given a prescription that ended up curing him.” Having said that, she looked over to Mu ZhenYu. “I can refer the doctor when the Mu’s designated doctor is over.”
The old madam was like a whole different person all of a sudden, “That works. Have him come by tomorrow then?”
“Sure.” Xu WanZhi nodded and said, “Most definitely.”
After dinner, Mu ZhenYu went to smoke in the garden.
Xu WanZhi took a dinner plate, picked some fruits for Mu XiYuan, and brought it into his room.
Mu XiYuan had retreated back into his own room to recover after the fight with Xu WanZhi earlier in the day. Watching her walked inside of his room, his face was dark like a piece of coal.
“What are you doing here?” He propped his body up and coughed. “Visiting me will not help you achieve your goal of marrying into a prestigious family.”
Xu WanZhi smiled at him sweetly and slowly walked over to his bed. She put the fruits down on his nigh table and retorted nonchalantly. “I brought some fruits for you, but you don’t need to eat them if you think I might have poisoned them.”
Having said that, she chanted a spell quickly and removed the spell that was placed on him – that was requested by Mu ZhenYu. She finally had the opportunity to stay far enough away from him so she could use her magic. She must make good use to it.
