Chapter 14
Not long later, two guards appeared beside Yue Wang . “Master, this servant here was late . We await your punishment . ”
Yue Wang lowered his head, his hand still holding on to the red string . Two bells were connected to it, causing an interesting ringing sound . “The village below the mountain, check!” The fact that she dared to take away his dagger proved that she had guts .
“Yes . ”
“Aiya, Yunyao, where have you been?” Yang Shi looked at her wet skirt and asked . She felt perplexed, it was winter now, who in their right mind would go play in the water?
“Grandma’s injury is very serious and me and my Mother do not have the money to pay for the doctor’s services, so I went up the mountain to pick some medicinal herbs to treat Grandma’s injuries . I figured that the warm brook behind the mountain would have a lot of fresh herbs and I happened to accidentally slip……”
“Haaaa, child, you are far too sincere, that Grandma of yours……let’s go, I will visit her with you . You and your Mother are much too petite, you would definitely not be able to move her . ”
“Thank you, Auntie Yang . ”
When they reached the door, they heard Li Shi’s screaming .
“Wrench! You poisonous thing, you ought to get stabbed by a thousand knives! I asked you to feed me water and you are able to spill it on me! You useless thing, why did the fire not burn you to death! It should have burned your face off, that way you wouldn’t be able to seduce people left and right! Cheng Er, you died too early, you left your poor Mother here to suffer under the hands off your wife……”
Mu Yunyao immediately ran into the house and saw Li Shi pinching her Mother hard . Her Mother’s arm was already covered with bruises from all the pinching . Mu Yunyao started trembling from the anger .
Yang Shi quickly ripped Li Shi’s hand away from Su Qing . She looked at Su Qing and furrowed her eyebrows . “Do you not know how to escape from her pinching? She is stuck to her bed, how could she possibly chase you?”
“Sister Yang, I……” Su Qing’s eye were filled with tears .
Li Shi’s words were becoming more vulgar by the minute . “Ha, another mutt who cannot seem to mind her own business . So you have come to mind my family’s business now? Su Qing had an affair with your husband and you still protect her?”
Yang Shi wanted so much to punch her in the face . “How could you insult your daughter-in-law like that?”
“Hmph, you are much too nosey! She is my daughter-in-law, I will deal with her as I like, what’s it got to do with you, you infertile chicken? If you are so amazing, go and lay an egg for me to see! Peh!”
Yang Shi had been married for more than a decade, yet, she did not have a single child . This hurt her deeply . Now, Li Shi used this to attack her, causing her face to go green .
Mu Yunyao quickly grabbed Yang Shi’s hand and said, “Auntie, Grandma she……she has wronged you . I think it would be better for you to return first . ”
It was a while before Yang Shi calmed down . “Yunyao, you……the both of you should not be so patient . Even though this is your family matter, but I still think that she is too much . ”
She glanced at Li Shi’s wound . It was very carefully taken care of . To add on to that, Yunyao had even woke up early to climb the mountain to pick herbs for Li Shi . She is so filial, yet she has this old hag as her Grandma!
Mu Yunyao bit her lip, her eyes were filled with pain . “Father once said, our family’s problems must not be known by the outside, so……”
Seeing her like this, Yang Shi’s hearted pained for her . “Haaaa, you ah, go and get a change of clothes, be careful not to fall sick . ”
“Thank you Auntie . ”
The moment Yang Shi left, Mu Yunyao’s wronged expression completely disappeared . She turned her head to look at Li Shi, a bright and beautiful smile spread across her face . “Grandma, this pinching habit of yours has to change . ”
Li Shi trembled upon seeing her smile . “You……you wrench, what are you going to do?”
Mu Yunyao took the bowl from Su Qing and poured some salt in . Then, she poured it on Li Shi’s leg .
“Ugh!! You!! Mu Yunyao, I will beat you to death! I will kill you!!!”
Mu Yunyao’s smile did not waver . “Grandma, this habit of insulting has got to change too . Otherwise, what happens if I accidentally pour boiling water on you?”
“You dare?” Li Shi widened her eyes, this little wrench, when did she become this fearless?
“Haha,” Mu Yunyao laughed, her voice was clear and bright, yet it had a hint of hatred . “Till now, you still are unaware of your situation . I am the knife while you are the fish . If I wanted to kill you, it would be as easy as squishing an ant . ”
