Chapter 145: Closing the Door on HimTranslator: Soldier
Yun Wu lifted her eyebrows, as if she couldn’t understand what he was talking about. “Playing a trick on you? You’re the Lord of Luo City, and I’m just a vulnerable woman. How do I dare play a trick on you?”
“But, Your Lordship, I heard that you found your natural mother. As her son, isn’t this Snow Ganoderma which could prolong her life the exact gift you should buy her? I did you a favor and you want to arrest ?”
A suspicious look instantly flashed across the bottom of of Cloud Murong’s eyes as he heard her tone of voice.
He squinted his eyes, his gaze roaming over her.
Gracefully standing there, Yun Wu lifted the corners of her mouth with a bland smile, looked back at him and let him size her up.
This feeling…
After a while, Cloud Murong raised the corners of his mouth. The sullenness on his face gradually dissolved. There was even a ghost of smile on it.
“I never expected that you’re so eloquent, which reminds of my goddaughter!” He seed to be sounding her out.
Yun Wu lifted her eyebrows. “You flattered , Your Lordship. Surely I don’t have the honor to bear any resemblance to your goddaughter. But this Venerable Mistress looks like my grandmother very much.”
He would be a fool if he still couldn’t understand after she said this.
“It’s really you. You brat. You’ve been away for so long, yet the mont we reunited, you gave such a big ‘gift’.” The sullenness and anger on Cloud Murong’s face had been replaced by resignedness and affection.
Naturally, Granny dicine, who had been silently sitting on the side all along, also understood. Surprise and delight gleaming in her eyes, she stood up from the chair and was just about to call her na when Cloud Murong said, “Mother, since this lady is Master Nangong’s friend, surely we won’t make things difficult for her.”
On hearing his words, Grandma dicine imdiately understood what he ant.
Back then at Lian Village, all people saw that two Grand Assassins were hunting Yun Wu. Shortly afterwards, Cloud Murong ntioned that the two Grand Assassins went to Murong Mansion to look for “Phoenix Wu”.
Though she had no idea who those people trying to find her were, she did know that Yun Wu was in danger and should keep her true identity a secret for as long as possible.
Grandma dicine walked up to her, barely able to dissemble the excitent in her eyes. “Good girl, since you’ve co back, go to Murong Mansion and spend a few days with us. Yun’er will give you a warm reception.”
Of course Yun Wu understood the undertone contained in her words.
But she had no intention of seeking shelter in Cloud Murong’s place.
Besides, even if she did need shelter, given that her enemy was the incumbent Queen, people in this Murong Mansion were not powerful enough to protect her even if they wanted to.
In addition, since Grandma dicine had returned to the Murong family, she didn’t want to get Murong Mansion involved in this matter, lest Grandma dicine be incriminated.
“That won’t be necessary. There’s sothing I have to deal with. When this is over, I’ll leave. By the way, about that pestilence, did anybody go to Murong Mansion to look for anybody?”
Cloud Murong shook his head and said, “No. Why do you ask? Is there anybody you want to find?”
After the pestilence spread, the Ouyang family in Water City sent a big sedan chair carried by eight n to the village and respectfully carried Grandma dicine to their mansion. Third Uncle and other mbers of Murong family who were swollen all over had no choice but to pocket their pride and send soone to Ouyang Mansion in Water City to pick up Grandma dicine.
However, they sent people there three tis but all their requests were rejected. mbers of Ouyang family even shut the door on them.
The distension of the Venerable Master of Ouyang family was reduced after a week’s ti, and he also regained his consciousness. Before long, he was able to get out of bed and walk.
The news spread through the whole Water City and caused a sensation.
