Chapter 1410: Chapter 1405: Using Su Miaoyan

“Whimper… I don’t.”

Su Miaoyan, from her eyes to her body, resisted him as he carried her out, her throat raw from crying.

When she saw Mu Qianya, she kept waving her hands at her, “Whimper, save me! Save me!”

Mu Qianya smiled bitterly and helplessly, “I can’t save you now… instead, I need to ask you for a favor, to beg the master to spare my life.”

Otherwise, with a slight move of the sword named Chasing Shadow, her life would hang by a thread.

Su Miaoyan understood her words in confusion, then grabbed Xiao Yu’s collar, “Evil man, don’t bully her, don’t kill her, don’t!!!”

Xiao Yu pinched her slender wrist, his brow furrowing in displeasure, “What did you call me?”

Su Miaoyan lowered her head, murmuring softly, “Evil man… evil man…”

The evil man who killed her Brother Daniu!

Xiao Yu’s eyes were as cold as the wind from the Northwest Plateau, chilling to the bone; Su Miaoyan had just started to relax her guard around Mu Qianya when she couldn’t help but start crying again at the sight of Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu took her back to the Xiao family estate, capturing Mu Qianya along with her.

This time, their welcome was not as courteous as before.

In a dark, damp room, Feng Ling, holding her sore neck, woke up and complained, “Miss, the Xiao family is too oppressive! Our Mu Family is at least on par with the Xiao family, and although not superior, we are not to be trifled with. The Xiao family head dared to treat us this way!”

Mu Qianya curled her lips, unnervingly calm, “The current Xiao Yu is ruthless. He could easily kill us and smooth things over using his ways. Even my father wouldn’t dare to provoke him.”

“What? Then we… we are doomed!” Feng Ling was terrified; that guard named Chasing Shadow was really too brutal!

The beating had left her feeling as if her body had fallen apart.

There were even sword marks on her Miss’s neck!

Mu Qianya looked at her calloused fingertips, “Since I’ve chosen to pull chestnuts from the fire, I can’t fear getting burned. I’ll bet that Xiao Yu loves Su Miaoyan to his bones, he would definitely bow down for her.”

By saving Su Miaoyan, she gained the leverage to negotiate with Xiao Yu, and naturally… to do business with him, too.

“So, Miss, you did this on purpose, not sending Su Miaoyan back to the Xiao family, waiting for the Xiao family head to capture us?” Feng Ling suddenly realized her Miss’s intentions.

Her Miss, although a woman, was raised free and courageous by her father, no less capable than the young masters of the household!

But her boldness in provoking the Xiao family was indeed excessive.

Even the Master wouldn’t dare do this!

Mu Qianya chuckled lightly, “Now, let’s see how many days the head of the Xiao family can hold out, and to what extent he will compromise for the woman he loves.”

During the two days Mu Qianya was locked up, without food or water, it was extremely difficult; within Xiao Yu’s quarters, Su Miaoyan cried and caused havoc day and night, either attempting to escape or throwing tantrums with Xiao Yu. Every time he saw her, if she was too overwhelmed by her tears, she would hit him; naturally, Xiao Yu wouldn’t hit her back, instead, letting her bite him until he was covered in wounds, yet still holding her tightly.

However, Su Miaoyan’s body couldn’t withstand such torment, and on the third day, she developed a high fever. She refused the doctor Xiao Yu called for, but was not so resistant to the medical woman also brought back from the Mu household.

The medical woman checked Su Miaoyan’s pulse, cooled her fever, and dispensed medicine; Su Miaoyan cooperated with each step.

Su Miaoyan was still secretly holding the doctor’s hand, asking her, “What about the sister in the green dress? Is she still okay? Was she killed as well?”

The doctor relayed the question to Xiao Yu, who brought Mu Qianya over. When Su Miaoyan saw that Mu Qianya was not dead, she was exceptionally delighted, “You weren’t killed… that’s wonderful!”

Listening to these childish words, Mu Qianya could not help but laugh and cry, still she stepped forward to comfort Su Miaoyan, “I’m alright, you don’t need to worry. You should take your medicine and recover your health. As long as you are fine, that person… he will not kill me.”

Mu Qianya deliberately pointed towards Xiao Yu who was not far away.

Su Miaoyan, with the understanding of a three-year-old child, still grasped the meaning of Mu Qianya’s words and nodded like a pecking chick, “Okay, I won’t let him kill you.”

She held Mu Qianya’s hand tightly, as if she had found a sense of security.

Only after she had taken her medicine and fallen asleep could Mu Qianya pull her hand away and go to speak with Xiao Yu.

Mu Qianya’s stomach merely growled but Xiao Yu coldly warned her, “If you have designs on her, do you want to die?”

Mu Qianya’s hands trembled behind her back, yet she maintained a smile on her face, “Isn’t this just the opportune time to encounter Madam Xiao? Eldest Young Master, surely you won’t kill me now and leave her helpless again, will you?”

She had guessed Xiao Yu’s thoughts correctly.

Su Miaoyan did not trust him, did not trust Xiao Qingyu, and did not get close to any member of the Xiao family, she only trusted Mu Qianya.

Willing to heed her advise and take her medication.

Xiao Yu’s deep, cold gaze fixed on her, “What do you want? The inheritance of the Mu Family?”

As families of merchants, Xiao Yu understood Mu Qianya’s motives all too clearly—it was as if he could see right through them.

Mu Qianya admired Xiao Yu’s insight and strategies, sincerely pleased, “That is indeed what I want, but it isn’t something that can be schemed in a short time, so…”

“Do you want to stay in the Xiao family, associate with me to elevate your status in the Mu Family?” Xiao Yu’s eyes stripped all pretense from Mu Qianya’s schemes.

Being exposed, Mu Qianya did not get angry but spoke even more frankly, “Eldest Young Master is wise! I wonder whether you would allow me to stay with the Xiao family for the sake of madam?”

“Mu Qianya, I do not accept threats from anyone.” Xiao Yu’s eyes flashed with a lethal intent, that deadly aura that could instantly doom one to death made Mu Qianya start to regret her boldness.

But she had no way out.

Standing before Xiao Yu, who was fiddling with the jade thumb ring on his thumb, he looked up and told her, “Stay by Yan’er’s side. If she recovers, I will reward you, if something happens to her, your life will pay for it.”

After he left, Mu Qianya breathed a long sigh of relief, touching her own neck, gasping for a while.

Feng Ling was allowed to come to her side, noticing her deathly pale face, “Miss, are you alright?”

Mu Qianya showed a hint of a triumphant smile, “To negotiate with a tiger, one does need a bit of courage. But this time, I gambled on a chance.”

She would not be caught by her father and have her legs broken; with Xiao Yu’s backing, she just had to stay by his side, and the Mu family people would not dare meddle with her business lightly.

Mu Qianya turned back to look at the sleeping Su Miaoyan behind the screen, feeling a twinge of guilt for using her.

But she silently swore in her heart, “I will definitely help you recover, as long as… I can get what I want!”

Now, she would remain by Su Miaoyan’s side. Xiao Yu also didn’t mistreat her, arranging the best wing, fine food to help her regain strength, and even sent his associate, Zhuí Yǐng, to monitor her for any unusual activities.

Mu Qianya mustered her courage, taking a few extra glances at Zhuí Yǐng when he came in.
