Chapter 1432: Chapter 1427: She Wants to Leave the Bad Person

“Not good, not good, not good!” Su Miaoyan cried her eyes out, with tears rolling down like strings of pearls.

She detested Xiao Yu to the extreme, especially when he reeked of a rusty, bloody stench and insisted on hugging her.

She really couldn’t stand him!

“I hate you!”

Su Miaoyan reached out and scratched another bloody mark across Xiao Yu’s face.

On the journey to Jiang Du City, she hadn’t held back from hitting Xiao Yu at all—it was already the third bloody scratch on his handsome face.

Xiao Yu remained unmoved, only holding her all the tighter, while Su Miaoyan, held in his embrace, cried out in pain, “It hurts so much!”

“Where does it hurt?”

Xiao Yu was extremely anxious about her body.

Mu Qianya stood by, “It must have touched her old wounds again. I’ll continue with the moxibustion for her. You’d better…step away for a bit.”

Mu Qianya had been learning from the medical women all the way, just to treat Su Miaoyan’s injuries and change her dressings, and every time Xiao Yu was there, Su Miaoyan was too emotionally stirred to pay attention to anyone.

Fortunately, these past few days, Xiao Yu really pitied the wounds on her body and agreed not to hold her while she was having her dressings changed.

Xiao Yu sat outside the screen while Xiao Qingyu pled for mercy once more. He then stopped caring about the two servants who were beaten to a breath’s left, and let Xiao Qingyu bring in a new group of servants to take care of Su Miaoyan.

Su Miaoyan lay on her bed, her clothes removed, teardrops still at the corner of her eyes, “Sister Mu, when can I get rid of this bad man and not be with him? I really hate him!”

He wanted to hug her every day, to sleep with her, which annoyed her to death.

Mu Qianya let out a helpless chuckle in her heart, fearing that she might never get rid of him in this lifetime.

But she tried to persuade Su Miaoyan, “He’s not entirely a bad man; he was just worried that you got kidnapped by some bad guys today. Do you still remember those villagers who bullied you? What if you were to run out and meet bad people like them again, who beat you up leaving you full of wounds and refuse to feed you?”

“Ah! No, no! I don’t want to meet those bad people!”

Su Miaoyan hugged herself and shivered on the bed, “A bad person, a group of bad people… they’re all bad people!”

Yet being with this bad man meant that she wouldn’t go hungry, and the clothes and shoes she wore were quite pretty. She didn’t have to do any work, which was actually a lot better than those mean villagers.

But she longed to be alone.

“Sister Mu, I miss Big Bull Brother. Do you think if I meet bad people like those villagers again, will I meet Big Bull Brother too?” Su Miaoyan’s innocent eyes fixed on her.

Mu Qianya’s hand, holding the silver needle, stopped; she pursed her lips slightly, “You won’t. Once a person is dead, they’re gone forever.”

“Big Bull Brother…” Su Miaoyan’s tears fell instantly, “He was the best to me, making me porridge, warming my feet, keeping others from bullying me, and cuddling me to sleep.”

In her heart, Mu Qianya felt a pang of sorrowful pity for Xiao Yu.

All these things she mentioned, hadn’t Xiao Yu done them all for her?

But this silly girl was just preoccupied with that “Big Bull” brother and neglected everything else.

“Miaoyan isn’t afraid, even though you’re with the ‘big bad guy,’ he will protect you. Absolutely no one else will bully you, as long as you don’t make him unhappy,” Mu Qianya caressed Su Miaoyan’s cheeks, which were tinged with a blush so endearing that even a girl would feel affectionate towards her.

“But I hate him, he killed Big Bull brother,” Su Miaoyan pouted, turning away petulantly, allowing Mu Qianya to massage the acupuncture points on her back.

Mu Qianya had become her exclusive medical woman, changing her dressings, massaging her, taking her out for walks to clear her mind, and cheering her up—all tasks she was required to do.

Thankfully, Su Miaoyan had the mind of a child and was easy to appease; it was tiring at times, but it spared the need for much scheming and cutthroat rivalry.

In the afternoon, Mu Qianya walked out with a hand supporting her waist. Xiao Yu gave her an extra glance before going in to accompany Su Miaoyan.

Feng Ling pitied her and supported her as they walked towards the quarters arranged by Xiao Yu; Feng Ling pouted along the way, “We’re both Young Misses, so why are you serving others like a servant?”

Mu Qianya chuckled lightly, “Didn’t I come before Xiao Yu to offer myself as Su Miaoyan’s servant? Without this ‘servant’s job,’ could Xiao Yu have helped me gain a foothold in the Mu Family?”

Otherwise, she would have been taken back and married off.

Everything she wanted would have slipped through her fingers.

“But how long will you have to do this?” Feng Ling felt bad for Mu Qianya; whenever Mu Qianya finished massaging Su Miaoyan, she would have to give a good massage to Mu Qianya as well.

“The longer, the better.” Mu Qianya served Su Miaoyan so diligently, partly because she was cooperating with Xiao Yu, and partly because she felt guilty for using Su Miaoyan. Therefore, she continued to do her best to serve Su Miaoyan, to make this girl, who had lost her memory, a little happier.

However, her mutual use with Xiao Yu ultimately had to be more long-term for the best outcome.

The Mu Family also owned quite a few properties in Jiang Du City. When she had time, she needed to check around and once again urge her father for his seal.

When Mu Qianya returned to her own quarters to rest, standing by the small window on the second floor, she could see into another courtyard where Chasing Shadow stood at the entrance.

That was the main courtyard where Xiao Yu lived.

In other courtyards, there were guards at every gate, every entry and exit point.

Only Xiao Yu’s courtyard was guarded by Chasing Shadow alone.

He was like an immovable sea-calming needle; his presence alone subdued the entire courtyard of Xiao Yu’s, with nobody daring to cause any trouble.

Looking at her own quarters, where several servants were moving about, Mu Qianya suddenly felt envious, “Feng Ling, do you think I could negotiate another deal with Xiao Yu, to have him buy an assassin from Silver Moon Pavilion for me?”

Feng Ling, standing behind her, took a glance at Chasing Shadow and shook her head as she shrank her neck, “Those who can kill so efficiently, Miss, might be better not to have.”

Better not to have one that couldn’t be controlled, who might dispose of both of them without a trace one day?

“It’s precisely because he can kill and provide a sense of security that I want one. Following me hasn’t been without danger either, right?” Mu Qianya leaned her arms on the window sill, increasingly contemplating this matter.

“Miss, assassins from Silver Moon Pavilion are too frightening, and… they’re extremely hard to come by! I’ve heard that aside from the head of the Xiao family, only the empress has ever received the submission of a Silver Moon Pavilion assassin.”

They simply didn’t have that kind of influence.

“Then… what if I just coax away the one by Xiao Yu’s side and make him my bodyguard?” Mu Qianya was bordering on daydreaming.

Feng Ling was so startled she plopped down on the floor, “Mis… Miss, don’t be foolish!”
