Miscalculation 1

  Rumors of arrogance and savagery, looking down on everyone. Recently, I heard another rumor that the second miss of the Mu estate seduced the mad king and had her legs crippled, after which her temperament changed greatly. In the imperial family's competition, she won first prize.

  Even the royal court's top musician, Shi Xiangyun, was surpassed by her. It is also said that she painted a world-renowned painting called "Along the River During Qingming Festival".

  "Today, Crazy King still used his own sedan chair to send Second Miss Mu back to her residence."

  "Oh? Interesting, indeed very interesting." Nan Feng Jin's smile was thick on his face, he had to go to the Mu residence once.

  Apart from that, he had also heard that the Second Miss of the Mu Manor was a stunning beauty. A stunning beauty? Thinking about those beautiful and alluring eyes, he couldn't help but look forward to seeing her true appearance.

  Muzi Hang sat at his desk, while Dongyue and Muleqing stood beside him with gloomy faces.

  "Old master, don't listen to that cheap person's nonsense, we didn't do anything." Dong Yue said, unable to bear the atmosphere, stepping forward.

  "You think I'm a fool? You've done nothing?" Mu Zhihang's face was gloomy, and she was well aware of Dong Yue's tactics.

  "Old Master..."

  "It was me who did it, I found the killers, don't bother about mother's affairs." Mu Leqing stood up straight: "If Mu Qingyan that woman doesn't die, I will never have a chance to stand out, from the day I was born, everyone only knows that the second miss of the Mu family is stunningly beautiful, and the men who cooperate with the Mu family in business are all just to catch a glimpse of her beauty, while no matter how hard I try, I am just her foil. Father, I won't accept it, I won't accept it."

  Mo Laiqing's anger grew more intense as she spoke, from a young age to adulthood, no matter how much she was beaten or scolded, it would never be enough, only her disappearance would bring satisfaction!

  Mo Zhihang's mouth moved slightly as if he wanted to say something, but it turned into a sigh.

  "Qing'er, Father knows your suffering, but now Qingyan is the Crazy King's person. From now on, remember not to act rashly, otherwise our entire Mu family will suffer together." In the past, you could move freely, but now it's different, Mu Qingyan can't move as she wishes!

  "What if the king's woman is, as long as she does it secretly, even if the king can't do anything about it." Birth, aging, illness and death are all part of the cycle of life, but if she herself falls ill and dies, the king will go to heaven to investigate.

  "Qing'er, don't provoke the Mad King..."

  "Alright, alright, I know, Father, you can rest assured that I absolutely won't make fun of the Marquis's household." Mu Leqing waved his hand, knowing that Mu Zhihang was greedy for benefits and would turn a blind eye to many things as long as they were related to his interests.

  Mù Qīngyán being paired with the Crazy King is a great honor for the Mù Manor, it would be strange if Mù Zhīháng didn't treasure Mù Qīngyán!

  "Remember, don't mess with Qingyan these days." Mu Zhihang reminded him again, still worried.

  Mu Le's eyebrows furrowed, not responding to the conversation. Official family, interests... Although she may not be as beautiful as Mu Qingyan, her brain is absolutely more useful than hers. If she were to meet the King of Chu, she would definitely surpass Mu Qingyan!

  With this thought in mind, Mu Le Qing's mouth corners rose with a hint of a smile. The Crazy King was the last powerful king and also the heir to the throne. As long as he liked her, she would be able to get the title of Imperial Noble Consort in the future.

  Just wait and see, as long as you have it, I will spare no expense to snatch it away from you, trample you under my feet, and never let you turn over!

  Fragrant Forest Pavilion

  Lan Ya had Xun Xiang buy a large quantity of herbs as soon as she returned to the Mu residence. She must learn how to protect herself, and since she didn't know martial arts, poison was her only option.

  Taking advantage of this time away from the wild and crazy world, she must make some alternative poison and anesthetic, just in case.

  "Miss, here are all the books on herbs you wanted." Xiang placed the books on the table, turned around and sat down in the chair beside it, putting her feet up on a stool, surrounded by herbs.

  Blue Ya had a dozen or so herbs piled up in front of her, she focused on the dosage of the herbs, the composition of the anesthetic, and the amount of medicine was the most important, a little mistake would lead to death.

  Compared to anesthetics, poisons are better configured. She developed a mixture of poisonous drugs. Ordinary poison can be cured by doctors even if poisoned, but only mixed-type poison can make people unable to cure for a short time.

  The poison made by Lan Ya is said to be incurable, she made it according to the medical mixture research of the Yin Yue family for thousands of years, and the medical mixture research is the ultimate work of the Yin Yue family after several generations.

  Apart from the deceased elder, only Lan Ya knew the contents, and she had already burned those books. In this world, her poison could be said to have no antidote.

  Poison is poisonous, but making it also takes some time, ten or eight days can't be completed, and the fastest will take a month.

  "After the agarwood medicine is done, take these few packets of allocated herbs to decoct. Remember to add more water and wait until the water is almost dry before removing the medicine." She wrapped the allocated medicine with silk threads.

  "Alright, miss, when did you become so interested in medicine?" Shen Xiang furrowed her brow and asked.

  Upon hearing this, Lan Ya raised her head and smiled, "I've been studying some medical techniques recently, and the more I look at them, the more fascinated I become. Actually, learning medical techniques is quite simple, or else I can teach you too."

  "I don't want to, these medicinal herbs are already giving me a headache just by looking at them, let alone learning about them. I'm only responsible for assisting Miss." Xiangxiang said with a smile.

  "What I said is true, learning medicine will be a good skill to have in the future." As she spoke, Lan Ya suddenly had an idea and decided that Xiangxiang should learn medicine too. If she were to leave one day, at least she would have a skill to fall back on and could open her own clinic.

  Xiang Ze absolutely laughed: "I just need to serve Miss well."

  "Chen Xiang, you can't follow me for your whole life. You must learn this medical skill." Lan Ya's expression turned serious.

  Lan Ya's serious expression made Xiang Yan stunned for a moment, then she reacted and her eyes welled up with tears: "Miss doesn't want Xiang Yan anymore?"

  "No, you'll get married one of these days and when that happens, you can't follow me around anymore. Otherwise, your husband will be jealous of me." Lan Ya put on a serious face again. Xiang Huan was indeed a simple-minded and silly girl.

  "I'd rather not get married, following Miss is better than getting married." Chen Xiang hummed and wiped her eyes.

  "You mean you want to marry me? Alas, what a pity! If your family's young lady were a man, she would definitely take you in." Lan Ya shook her head with a hint of a smile.

  Chen Xiang's face suddenly turned red as he covered his cheeks with both hands: "Miss..."

  "Haha, I was just kidding you." Lan Ya couldn't help but burst out laughing at this, this little girl was really her little happy fruit, silly and adorable to the extreme.

  Chén xiāng hóng zhe liǎn jiá, dī tóu zhūan xīn de bān zhe yào.

  English Translation:

  Xiang's face was red, she lowered her head and concentrated on pounding the medicine.

  Lan Ya's mood was very good, she stood up from her seat and took out a 100,000 yuan silver bill from the jewelry box.

  Earlier today, I gave Xiang the 100,000 taels of silver to buy a large quantity of medicine. She plans to use it to purchase some rare and precious medicinal materials.

  "Chen Xiang, do you know where the most precious medicinal materials are purchased?" The precious medicinal materials cost several thousand taels of silver per piece, so she couldn't be too careless and had to buy them in person.

  "This one." Xiang raised her head and thought for a moment, then shook her head: "I haven't heard of this."

  Lan Ya put away the medicinal materials on the table. Tomorrow, she would go to the pharmacy to test the boss's tone and directly purchase them at a much cheaper price than the pharmacy. Her 100,000 taels of gold were not enough to buy rare and precious medicinal materials.

  She originally had 100,000 taels of gold, enough to live a safe and stable life for generations. However, now that she has provoked the tyrannical and ruthless Big Shot, wanting to live a peaceful life is simply impossible.

  She was making poison while also developing some extraordinary life-saving and antidote pills, the materials for which were extremely precious, so her 100,000 taels of gold were far from enough to mess around with.

  The price difference between direct purchase and pharmacy purchase is huge, and due to financial constraints, she can only investigate the origin of the medicinal materials.

  "Qingyan, when did you start liking medicine?" Mu Zhihang walked in from the outside with a smile.

  Chen Xiang hastily stood up and paid his respects.

  "This isn't a study to prevent some people from secretly poisoning me, is it?" Lan Ya sat down, unhurriedly picked up a medicinal herb resembling licorice root and sniffed it.

  Mo Zhihang waved his hand and motioned for Chen Xiang to leave, then sat down across from Lan Ya.

  "In the Mu Mansion, whoever dares to harm you, Father will definitely not let them off lightly."

  "What if it's your wife and precious daughter?" Lan Ya glanced at him sideways.

  "Qingyan was talking about the assassination last time, if you didn't say it, Father really wouldn't have known. Your mother and Leqing treated you like this, I've already investigated this matter and heavily punished your mother and Leqing."

  "Punishment? What punishment?" She didn't believe he would have the heart to punish Dong Yue and Mu Leqing!

  Mu Zhihang's voice paused, his eyes rolled: "Of course it's family law. That ruthless woman made Leqing so calculating and venomous. It's really like they say: what kind of mother, what kind of daughter. Alas, I regret marrying her in the first place!"

  "This is music to my ears. Tell me, what's going on." Lan Ya tossed the medicinal herbs onto the table and looked at Mu Zhihang.

  Although she knew that Mu Zhihang's family rules were to coax her, but these words made her feel comfortable in her heart.

  Mo Zhi Hang heard this and laughed even more: "Qing Yan stayed in the Crazy King's mansion for so many days, did the Crazy King...?"

  "What?" asked Lan Ya in doubt.

  "It's... is there...?" Mu Zhihang lowered his voice and leaned in towards Lan Ya.

  "Make it clear." Lan Ya was somewhat impatient.

  "Have you and King Kuang ever...?" Mu Zhihang's eyes became lewd.

  In his heart, he was making secret calculations, if he could curry favor with the tyrant king, it would be equivalent to having an unshakeable backing!

  Upon hearing this, Lan Ya's body stiffened, her eyes turned cold, and the image of Zhu Ye's face appeared in her mind, making her feel nauseous. She felt humiliated!

  Muzi Hang saw that she didn't respond, and naturally understood. A smile spread across his face: "The current King's power is so great, in the future he will surely be able to rule over the four nations. The King's residence has not yet had a concubine, if you can bear his child, in the future you will surely rely on your mother's noble status, and the position of Queen will belong to none other than you!"
