~ SU QINGWU’S THOUGHTS ~
Mu Yunyao and Su You sat on a small stool at the edge of the corridor . Beside them were rows of chrysanthemums with golden stamens and pink petals . The long and narrow petals curled upwards . The layers of petals were beautifully arranged . Against the background, it looks like a pink lotus blooming on the green water, which is extraordinarily delicate and pleasant .
Seeing Mu Yunyao’s gaze fall on it, Su You frowned, “Let’s not talk about those troublesome matters . Some people like to live a peaceful life, but some people like to cause trouble for no reason . ”
She couldn’t understand Meng Yanran’s thoughts . If she had a healthy body, she would definitely be able to accompany her parents, appreciate the beautiful scenery, and have a taste of delicious food … What’s wrong with it? Why do you have to look for trouble?
Mu Yunyao chuckled and stretched out a finger to tug at the chrysanthemum leaves . Seeing the pink flowers swaying slightly, she couldn’t help but deepen her smile .
Seeing her expression, Su You pursed her lips and retracted her gaze, “Don’t tell me you don’t know this kind of chrysanthemum? It is called pink peach because the petals bloom like pink peach, and they are famous . If I say, chrysanthemum is a chrysanthemum . What peach flowers, and is if it blooms yellow color not good? It’s boring for no reason . So annoying!”
Looking at her fuming appearance, Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but chuckle . “Every people is different, so the flowers are naturally the same . I heard my father say that he once saw a rare chrysanthemum . The flower wheel ring’s size as big as a jade plate, and it was completely red and gold in color . The petals are as red as blood, but the top of the petal suddenly turned golden . The flower blossomed like a phoenix bathed in fire . It was so beautiful that it could not be described in words, and as a result, someone named it — Phoenix Zhenyu . ”
Su You blinked, her eyes filled with a surprise: “There really is such a beautiful chrysanthemum . How come I’ve never heard of it before?”
“Perhaps it is because the flower is too beautiful . It doesn’t want people to see it . Haven’t you heard? The famous flower is also intelligent, and some rare treasures can’t be seen to those who are not fated . ” Mu Yunyao stretched out her arms to support her cheeks, leaning on the master of the corridor as she watched Su You with a smile .
Su You was regretful that he could not see Phoenix Zhenyu, who Mu Yunyao had mentioned before . However, when she lifted her head to look, she looked at her smiling eyes, and she could not help but be stunned . Her eyes were clear and transparent like a calm lake . At first glance, it seems that she can see the bottom, but it seems to be unfathomable when she explores carefully . The surrounding scenery is reflected in those eyes, but it makes people feel that no matter how beautiful things are, it wouldn’t enter her eyes …
Mu Yunyao blinked her eyes as she came back to her senses . She leaned slightly towards Su You, “Why are you staring at me like that?”
Su You suddenly regained her senses, stood up abruptly, and seemingly frightened . Because her movements were too fast, there was a dull ache in her chest . She suppressed the coughing: “Cough . . . ”
Mu Yunyao stepped forward and held her wrist . Her other hand, pressing down on the acupuncture point on her chest . “You’re too weak to resist the wind . You should obediently stay in your room and don’t run around …”
Su You regained her composure and slapped Mu Yunyao’s hand away, “What weak? Aren’t I going to die soon? Are you from the countryside also looking down on me like they are, or are you afraid that I’ll stick up for you?”
Mu Yunyao’s skin was delicate and tender . Even though Su You’s hand strength wasn’t great, the back of her hand was still red .
Su You fiercely bit her lip, and a glint seemed to flash in her eyes . But in the end, it turned into stubborn and rebellious . She didn’t know why she was suddenly angry, but when Su You looked at Mu Yunyao’s eyes, she felt a great injustice surge up from within her heart for no reason, making her unable to control it at all .
Mu Yunyao raised her eyes and looked at her . She was initially a bit angry in her heart . But when she saw her appearance, she couldn’t help but pause for a moment . “What’s the matter with you? Family members know their own affairs . You know very clearly how your body is, even if I don’t tell you, will you be able to live for a hundred years?”
“You … I don’t need you to remind me, I know that I’m going to die, I already knew that . I wasted my good intentions in vain . I hate you!” As Su You spoke, she turned around and left . The maidservants that were sent to a distance quickly surrounded her and asked her what was wrong .
Mu Yunyao stretched out her hand to hold her and pulled her down, pressing her down on the stone bench . “What are you crazy about now? Don’t think that just because you’re sick that I dare not deal with you . ”
“Miss Biao, our Fifth Miss is weak . Aren’t you going too far with her?” The old maid who had followed Su You over was already dissatisfied with Mu Yunyao, so she spoke directly with a cold tone, her eyes full of caution . Mu Yunyao glanced at her indifferently, then lowered her eyes to look at Su You . “Stop messing around . The wind is blowing now . You should go back and rest . What’s wrong with feeling wronged . Aren’t you just going to die? Many times, death is more comfortable than being alive . Moreover, you have Second Uncle and Second Aunt’s love, and …”
“What’s going on?” A clear voice sounded .
The surrounding female servants hurriedly bowed . “Greetings, Eldest Young Master . ”
Su Qingwu’s gaze landed on Mu Yunyao and Su You . “Fifth Sister, your health is not good . You should go back and rest, in case Second Aunt worries . ”
Su You stood up . Her face was so cold that it was hard to see her expression . It was as if her weakness and stubbornness just now were just an illusion . “Thanks for the reminder, Brother . I’m leaving . ” With that, she led her people away without even bowing .
“Fifth Sister is sick all year round . Her personality is a little different than other sisters . You have to endure a little more . ”
Mu Yunyao’s lips carried a light smile, and when she heard him, she nodded and bowed, “Thank you for your reminder, Cousin . I’m going to accompany Mother, so I’ll be leaving first . ”
“Wait a minute . ” Su Qingwu subconsciously stopped her, and when Mu Yunyao turned her head around, he was momentarily at a loss for words, “You … It seems that you understand His Royal Highness Jin Wang very well?” Otherwise, why would she know what he had done all these years?
Mu Yunyao frowned, “Cousin, what do you want to say?”
Su Qingwu looked at the Pink Peach at the side . “The chrysanthemums are full of beautiful things, but not every kind …”
Mu Yunyao suddenly sneered, “Cousin, no need to say anymore, I understand what you mean . The chrysanthemums were all beautiful, but not all of them were famous . Some of the flowers were naturally sought after . They are cultivated in fertile soil, irrigated with dew, given the scorching sun, and cared for day by day . Some were only waiting for the flowers to blossom into gorgeous flowers . Some flowers are born ordinary and unremarkable . They are only suitable for growing in the countryside and eventually scattered into the mud . People are the same . Some are born rich, while others destined to be mediocre and ordinary . ”
Su Qingwu frowned . “That’s not what I meant . ” He only wanted to remind her that the Third Prince’s identity was something she couldn’t afford .
“Then what does Cousin mean? Seeing His Royal Highness Jin Wang and I spoke, were you worried that I would disrupt Eldest Sister’s future prospects?”
Su Qingwu’s expression suddenly changed, “What does this have to do with Yuyi?”
Mu Yunyao smirked . “Then, you can treat it as me babbling nonsense . It’s getting late . Mother should be worried about me, so I’m leaving first . ” After which, she turned around and left .
Su Qingwu stood where she was, staring at Mu Yunyao’s departing back with his deep eyes . Her body was covered in a jade-green water layer . The wind blowing in the corridor, and her skirts fluttered up . There was an illusion that she would take advantage of the wind at any time .
At the Mid Autumn Festival last year, she sat on the branch of the osmanthus tree . She was covered in flowers that looked like the mystique of the laurel . He threw away the osmanthus tree branch and used the excuse of his family to discard the little bit of beauty in his heart . But who would have thought that she would appear again? The seed that was about to wither suddenly broke out, which made him confused and frustrated once more .
Su Qingwu sat beside the stone bench where Mu Yunyao was standing just now and stretched out his hand to pick off a Pink Peach . The petals were delicate and beautiful like a scorching peach blossom, just like Mu Yunyao’s flawless face . He closed his palm and slowly crushed the petals, “The chrysanthemums are full of beautiful flowers, but not every one of them is precious . And some people, despite leaving so many precious treasures behind, just paid attention to one that grows in the countryside …Heh …”
