Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 42

Chapter 42

Mu Yunyao looked at the beautifully-handsome young man before her . She wasn’t surprised, however . She had seen Liu Liang in the Jin Wang residence before . On the left side of his face was a red scar while the right side of his face was unscarred and perfect . Especially his eyes, their outline was a little deeper than most, perhaps he had foreign blood in him .

“Liu Liang, I want to rent a boat from the boat company to go to Jiangnan Jingling City . I was told the boat company is reliable . Go and do it for me, understand?” Mu Yunyao gave him a stack of silvers .

(T/N: Ok, not really ‘jingling’ . It’s name is 竟陵，read ‘jing’ ‘ling’ . It’s just, for the names of all the cities so far, I’ve been putting them together . So bare with me haha . )

Liu Liang was silent for a moment before taking the silver and going downstairs .

Mu Yunyao stared at his back, her eyes cold . At that time, Liu Liang had been completely loyal to Jin Wang . But that doesn’t mean that he would do the same for Mu Yunyao . Making him do this job for her also served as a little test to see whether he would take the silver and leave forever .

She waited for four to six hours . The sky was already dark when Liu Liang knocked on the door, with his back exposed to the cold wind .

(T/N: In the original text, the author used ‘时辰’ read ‘shi’ ‘chen’ . This was an old Chinese way to count time . One ‘时辰’ is equivalent to two hours . Thus, I said ‘four to six hours’ as the author wrote ‘two to three shichen .

In modern China, ‘小时’ is used, which means exactly ‘hour’ . They count by hour now .

So yeah, relating to Chinese novels, you will only find ‘shichen’ in ancient China settings or fantasy settings . )

Mu Yunyao’s eyes lighted up, her clear eyes seemed to be glistening, causing them to become especially beautiful . “Did you get the contract?”

Liu Liang handed it over to Mu Yunyao, together with the remaining silver notes and silver bits .

Mu Yunyao looked at the contract and saw the amount paid . She froze for a moment before asking, “You went out for such a long time, why didn’t you get yourself something to eat?”

The remaining silver, when added onto the amount written in the contract, was the exact amount Mu Yunyao had given him . This giant idiot must have been hungry the whole day .

Liu Liang was silent, but Mu Yunyao could tell from the way he was hugging the long sword that he had stiffened up .

“Return to your room first . ”

When she saw Liu Liang silently enter his room, she went downstairs and called for a worker . Fortunately, it was still quite early, the inn was still serving food . She ordered some food and got the worker to go and buy some wound medicine . She got him to send it all to Liu Liang’s room .

If nothing goes wrong, in the distant future, Liu Liang would be her greatest source of support . Thus, she had to do her best to buy his heart .

(T/N: Okay, she’s not trying to win his love or anything . In this case, ‘ his heart’ also means ‘his loyalty’ . Don’t get the wrong idea, ‘kay . )

When she had arranged everything, Mu Yunyao went to chat with Su Qing . However, what Mu Yunyao didn’t know was that in the neighbouring room, Liu Liang was staring at the food and medicine . He stared blankly for a long, long time before he took his chopsticks and cleaned his plate . Then, he put the medicine bottle in his clothes, hugged the long sword, lay down on his bed and fell asleep .

The next day, Mu Yunyao linked arms with Su Qing, with Liu Liang following behind them, and walked towards the passenger ship .

She had rented the entire boat, and thus the two boatmen were more than respectful . Especially when they saw Liu Liang, their faces had a hint of terror .

Mu Yunyao did not understand, but she was not stupid enough to ask . She simply smiled as she and Su Qing got onto the boat .

A loud and clear cry sounded . The boat shook and started to move towards the South .

Su Qing held Mu Yunyao’s hand, her face was a little pale .

Mu Yunyao quickly took out the plums that she had prepared beforehand and gave her one . “Mother, do you feel better?”

When the boat stabilised, Su Qing nodded her head . “Don’t worry, this is my first time sitting on a boat . I was just not used to it, I will be alright soon . ”

Mu Yunyao sighed, “It was my fault, I overlooked the fact that Mother may get seasick . Fortunately, your reaction is mild, otherwise I would have considered travelling by land instead . ”

“Mother is not that spoiled . ” Su Qing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry . During this period of time, her daughter seemed to have grown exponentially . When she talked and did things, she seemed very steady and sure . She would keep thinking about how to properly take care of her Mother . Su Qing felt as if their roles had already completely reversed .
