World-shaking First Daughter: Powerful Medical Princess-Chapter 106 - Infanta Ceylon
Chapter 106 Infanta Ceylon
“Don’t say this, Old Lady. You’re flattering me. My name is Haitang. My family suffered a catastrophe two years ago, and fortunately, I was saved by Old Lady. I’ve been serving Old Lady since then.” Haitang said in a panic.
Old Lady Su personally reached out to hold Haitang up. “I’ve said so, you are like my daughter. If anyone disagrees, come to argue with me!”
When Old Lady Su was talking, she squinted towards Su Muge.
Su Muge pretended that she didn’t hear it, but Zhao had to smile, “It turns out to be lady Haitang…”
After taking over Su Mansion, Zhao had learned a lot from Lu Mama. But because of her soft temperament, she still wasn’t so good at dealing with such unexpected situations.
Lu Mama stood out behind Zhao and bowed, “Since it is Old Lady’s foster daughter, I wonder if I should prepare a new yard for this lady Haitang. It’s my fault that my people didn’t make it clear.”
Su Muge had to admit that Lu Mama’s words were well said. She not only attributed the fault to herself but also elevated Haitang’s status, which made Old Lady Su much happier.
“No need, I can’t live without her. Just let her stay in my courtyard.”
“Yes, Old Lady.”
Zhao finally reacted to mediate the dispute, “Look at me! I’m so absorbed in talking that I forget about breakfast. I’ll ask to prepare breakfast right now.”
“Well, I’m really a bit hungry now. Let’s have breakfast.”
“Yes.”
Su Lun had to attend the morning court, so Zhao and Su Muge stayed to have the breakfast with Old Lady Su.
After breakfast, Su Muge planned to go back to little Wenmo but was stopped by Old Lady Su.
“Leave my beloved grandson here. I’m getting fonder and fonder of my grandson. Let him stay here with me these days.”
Hearing the words, Zhao went pale; she couldn’t refuse her mother-in-law to stay with her grandson after all.
Haitang walked to Su Muge and took over little Wenmo from her hand.
Su Muge smiled but didn’t let him go. “Grandmother, Wenmo is still very young and very noisy. He has to get up to drink milk at night. I’m afraid he’ll disturb you here.”
“He’s my grandson. I won’t feel disturbed. What’s more, the nanny is also here with us. Don’t worry”
So far, if Su Muge insisted, it would be impolite.
“Yes, Miss, don’t worry. Old Lady will take good care of the young master.” Haitang smiled gently at Su Muge and reached out for little Wenmo.
“Come here. Let me see my little grandson.”
Old Lady Su began to tease little Wenmo and completely ignored the existence of Zhao and Su Muge.
Su Muge felt choked when she came out of Old Lady Su’s courtyard.
Old Lady Su liked her grandson indeed, but it was really unpleasant to dominate the child regardless of his mother’s will.
“Don’t worry, Mumu. Mo’er will be fine with your grandmother. I’ll send people to watch them.” Seeing Su Muge keep silent after coming out, Zhao came to her and whispered.
Su Muge was a little surprised. She had just thought about how to comfort Zhao, but she didn’t expect that Zhao would come to comfort her.
“Okay.”
After returning to Peachblossom Courtyard, Su Muge changed into a light dress. She sat in front of the bronze mirror and asked Yueru to loosen her hair bun and tie up a ponytail.
“Miss, apply the medicine to your face before going out.” Xinche came in with a small porcelain pot containing the medicine Su Muge applied to the birthmark on her face.
These days, Su Muge had been insisting on applying the medicine to the birthmark on her face. With the help of internal and external application of medicine, the birthmark on her face looked lighter than before.
The remarkable effect made Yueru and others very excited; they would actively urge her to take the medicine every day.
After Su Muge sterilized her face with a homemade cotton swab, she gently applied the transparent potion to the birthmark. When the potion was just applied, she could feel nothing. But soon afterwards, she would feel an itchy tingling.
After applying the medicine to her face, Su Muge left the mansion through the back door with Yueru.
“Let’s go to buy some food for them first.”
“Okay.”
The two went to the street and bought some snacks and preserved fruits.
“Miss, we’ve got too much. I can’t even carry them.”
“Well, let’s rent a carriage.”
“Okay.”
Holding large and small packs, Yueru was to walk across the street. Suddenly, a carriage at a very high speed rushed onto the street.
Yueru was completely stunned and fixed on the place.
“Yueru, be careful!”
Su Muge threw the things aside and rushed up to pull Yueru away.
It was so sudden that the two fell to the ground and rolled on the street.
Su Muge felt her bones falling apart and frowned in pain.
“Miss, Miss, are you okay?!”
Yueru, who was well protected by Su Muge, was not seriously hurt.
Su Muge sat up from the ground, looked at her bleeding palm, and gritted her teeth, “It’s okay. I just scratched my skin. It’s not a big deal.”
“Who dares to block the way of the Infanta of the county?! So bold!”
Su Muge looked up and saw a red-painted carriage in front of them; a woman in a blue riding suit was standing on the carriage and peering at them from the top.
“It turns out to be two inferior civilians. How dare you frighten me?! I’ll teach you a lesson!” After that, the woman withdrew a barbed whip from her waist and flung it towards Su Muge.
With shrunk pupils, Su Muge pulled Yueru away to avoid the attack, and the whip was thrown to a candy hawker.
“Ah!”
The peddler cried out in pain; when the whip was pulled away, his clothes and even his flesh were scraped off.
“Ah!”
“Murder! Murder!”
The bloody scene scared the timid people around to death. Their screams seemed to have irritated the woman, who waved the whip in her hand even more fiercely and faster.
“How dare you hide?! The more you hide, the more people will suffer. I’ll see where you can hide!” Xia Houpei waved the horsewhip in her hand vigorously, watching the people and Su Muge running around and feeling extremely happy.
Seeing many people scratched by the barb on her whip, Su Muge turned sullen instantly.
“Yueru, get into the shop.” Su Muge pushed Yueru away. Before Xia Houpei could respond, Su Muge stepped forward and pierced the silver needle in her hand accurately into Xia Houpei’s ankle.
“Oh! Ouch!” Xia Houpei groaned and had to stop waving the whip in her hand, staring at Su Muge coldly with her narrow eyes.
“Bitch, how dare you hurt the Infanta of the county?! I’ll kill you!”
Xia Houpei threw the horsewhip away, pulled a sharp sword from the carriage, and stabbed at Su Muge fiercely.
Xia Houpeifu was good at martial arts and every move was lethal. At first, Su Muge could barely dodge; but soon, she became exhausted and had been cut several wounds by the sword.
Su Muge clenched the sleeve arrow in her hand; this hidden weapon was given to her by Xia Houmo and she had never used it before.
“Go to hell!” Xia Houpei pushed Su Muge to a dead end. When Su Muge could no longer retreat, she lifted the sleeve arrow in her hand and aimed at Xia Houpei’s eyebrow!
As soon as Xia Houpei came over, Su Muge pulled the trigger in her hand. With a soft sound, the sleeve arrow flew off at an extremely fast speed.
Xia Houpei originally thought that Su Muge would be too scared to move. When she was complacent, she suddenly caught sight of a hidden weapon coming. However, due to the short distance between the two, she had no way to escape.
In the end, she could only turn sideways to avoid her vital part from the arrow; the sleeve arrow passed her but scratched her arm.
“Ouch!”
Xia Houpei groaned in pain and looked at Su Muge with even more vicious eyes.
“How dare you hurt the Infanta of the county?! I’ll tear you into pieces!” When Xia Houpei wanted to make another move in pain, Su Muge had pierced the silver needle into the acupuncture point on her back.
Xia Houpei only felt a sudden numbness in her back; no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t move at all!
“How dare you plot against me?!”
Su Muge pushed her down to the ground, glanced at her coldly, and quickly walked out of the alley.
She had seen several guards around her carriage just now; if those guards came after her, she was not sure if she could handle it.
Su Muge took another path back to the street to find Yueru.
“Miss … Miss, are you okay?”
Su Muge shook her head. “I’m fine. Let’s leave here first.”
“Yes.”
Xia Houpei’s guards finally found her in the alley.
“Your Grace, are you okay?”
“Nonsense! I’ve been hit at certain acupuncture points, hurry to help me solve it!”
The guards echoed repeatedly and hit at a certain acupuncture point on her back. Only then did Xia Houpei feel the sense of stiffness on her body disappear.
She kicked the wall. “Untouchables! How dare she hurt me? Find out those presumptuous women!”
The guards glanced at each other with some embarrassment. They had just arrived in the capital. How could they investigate into two people who suddenly appeared on the street?
“Yes, we’ll check it out right away.”
Xia Houpei was fierce. “You must find out who they are!” She would definitely take their corpses to feed dogs!
On the other side, Su Muge and Yueru rented a carriage and went to Cheng Ran’s yard.
The two, sitting in the carriage, were still feeling a little scared.
“Miss, who is the Infanta? She is so ruthless.”
There were many nobles in the capital, but few could be called Infanta.
Su Muge noticed that the accent of the woman was slightly different from that of the locals, so the scope could be narrowed down.
There were only two Infantas of the Chu who were not in the capital; one is Infanta Ceylon, the daughter of King Dingxi, and the other was Infanta Nanyang, the daughter of King Yu.
It was said that Infanta Nanyang was a gentle woman. The woman they had met had skills of kung fu and fierce moves. She was much likely to be the daughter of King Dingxi, Infanta Ceylon, Xia Houpei!
At that time, the previous Emperor forbade King Dingxi from returning to the capital without the imperial edict, but he didn’t forbid his children from coming back.
But would Infanta Ceylon return to the capital alone?
It was completely impossible!
