Chapter 1490: Chapter 1485: Malicious Intentions

Previously, when she dined with Xiao Yu, they also did not require maidservants to serve them, because Xiao Yu did not want others to see how he favored her.

He pampered her like a child, personally ladling soup and serving her rice, even personally picking dishes and feeding her. Sometimes even Aunt Yin would helplessly comment with a smile, “Madam, if you were to leave the young master, I fear you wouldn’t even eat your meals.”

Now, does he dine like this with Miss Mu as well?

Su Miaoyan thought of this, and her heart was filled with a bitter anguish, a sour swelling pain in her chest that seemed to inflate her entire being.

The maid standing at the doorway, usually well-trained, now whispered, “Miss Su really has thick skin, watching young master dine with his future Aunt, yet not going to eat herself.”

“She might be the future madam, but she was once a madam too, probably indulged too much by the young master’s affection. But the young master’s love won’t just belong to one person, can’t she see that now?”

“Perhaps.”

After their discussion, they immediately looked straight ahead and stood properly.

But these words had clearly blown into Su Miaoyan’s ears, her eyes brimming with tears, “I’m not…” unable to see.

She just couldn’t believe that her brother Yu had changed his heart!

Su Miaoyan was so stricken that she returned to her courtyard crying with her head hung low.

Her wedding chamber that she once shared with Xiao Yu was now desolate, devoid of its past splendor, with only her mother, Madam Yin.

Seeing her return with tears reddening her eyes, Madam Yin shook her head and came forward, “How long will you stay stubborn? Mother has told you before, Xiao Yu no longer needs you, the divorce papers have been sent, why still cling on? Miaoyan.”

Su Miaoyan didn’t listen to Madam Yin’s words, the usually lively and active her quietly returned to her room, shutting herself on her bed to cry her eyes out.

Naturally, Madam Yin felt heartache for her daughter’s grievances, but if she doesn’t swallow this bitterness and continues to follow Xiao Yu, more calamities await her in the future, not just the complicated affairs of the inner court, conflicts of the household, but also those deadly dangers!

She’d rather be a bit selfish, wishing only that her daughter, whom she raised for many years, could live well.

In Xiao Yu’s study, the scene painted by the maidservants wasn’t as harmonious as they depicted it.

The delicious meal brought by Mu Qianya, he didn’t touch a single chopstick, and even in the pleasant aroma of the food, he didn’t allow Mu Qianya to open the lunchbox.

Mu Qianya sat by the table, listening to the maidservants outside deliberately speaking to hurt Miaoyan, then they came in, walked to Xiao Yu, and slightly bent their knees, “Master, Miss Su has already left.”

Xiao Yu raised his hand and smashed his new inkstone, when Mu Qianya saw the debris on the ground, she knew it was the valuable Ziyun Inkstone.

For Xiao Yu, it was merely an object to vent his anger.

Xiao Yu closed his eyes, holding back his struggles within his eyelids, his voice low and hoarse, “Leave them.”

The two maidservants obeyed and left, without casting a glance at Mu Qianya during the process.

Mu Qianya was very clear in her heart, their loyalty lays with Xiao Yu, their respect around her was just like the behavior of provoking Su Miaoyan, all just techniques of Xiao Yu.

Mu Qianya is a clever woman. Ideally, she should not have spoken up, but seeing Xiao Yu’s pain over Miaoyan and the torment he was inflicting on himself, she couldn’t help but say, “There’s more than one way to make Miaoyan leave. You could try to have a proper talk with her. What if she doesn’t want to go back and just wishes to stay by your side and continue the journey with you?”

She believed that in his heart, Xiao Yu must have considered this.

He is the person who least wants Miaoyan to leave. Without Miaoyan by his side, he is akin to a wild beast in the mountains, unpredictable and bloodthirsty.

This was a far cry from the Xiao family’s Eldest Young Master whom she had met before – genteel, wise, and unmatched.

After she spoke, she left, and it took Xiao Yu a long time to calm himself down.

He had thought about what Mu Qianya said, about being selfish and keeping Miaoyan by his side and teaching her things so that she could grow into becoming the madam of the Xiao family.

But he couldn’t forget Madam Yin kneeling before him begging, he couldn’t forget the scars on Miaoyan’s body, and he couldn’t forget their lost child…

Ningning’s crying tormented him day and night. After a sleepless night, his eyes bloodshot, he went to see Mu Nanfeng’s father.

Mu Nanfeng thought his father would vehemently object to the idea of Mu Qianya becoming a concubine to Xiao Yu, yet his father returned merely two hours later, his expression cold, he said, “Immediately prepare your sister’s dowry. From this house, send her off to marry.”

“What? Father, have you lost your mind! You really agreed to her marriage to Xiao Yu? That’s Xiao Yu! And moreover, as a concubine! Does the Mu family really need to throw away our dignity by chasing this?”

Mu Nanfeng was stunned. He thought his father would be rational, see through Mu Qianya’s ambitious plans at a glance, that it was all about collaborating with Xiao Yu to seize the Mu family’s assets!

But his father had agreed?

Mu Family’s master sat on the chair, his hand on the back, the chairback soon wet with the sweat from his palm.

Xiao Yu’s words echoed in his ears.

The ruthlessness of this young man far exceeded his expectations. Now that Mu Qianya was already on his boat, trying to get off…

“With Mu Qianya gone without a trace, or the Mu family grievously wounded, how shall the master of the Mu family choose?”

Xiao Yu’s chilling voice lingered in Mu Family Master’s mind.

Holding his aching forehead, Mu Family Master waved his hand at Mu Nanfeng, “Enough! No more discussion. Go prepare your sister’s dowry immediately. The original list I had for her dowry – double it!”

“Father! Add more? She’s just a daughter. Do you intend to use the Mu family’s wealth for her dowry? With a house full of people, are we to fend with nothing? Why don’t you just hand over the entire Mu family assets to her!”

Mu Nanfeng, his face twisted in anger, almost slammed the table in front of Mu Family Master.

Mu Family Master knew what pained his heart, but where could he understand the ruthlessness of Xiao Yu?

Pointing at Mu Nanfeng, he persuaded painstakingly, “Your sister is entering a den of wolves! Given her intelligence, I’m still worried she won’t make it out. If we don’t prepare enough dowry for her, and she ends up harmed by Xiao Yu, do I have the ability to make Xiao Yu compensate for my daughter? Do you have the capability to demand he compensate for your sister?!”

Mu Nanfeng was stunned.

Seeing him this way, Mu Family Master had no more hope.

The children of their few families grew up before their eyes; among the dozens of young masters from the four wealthiest families, only Xiao Yu was different. Even if Mu Nanfeng was good at business, when compared to Xiao Yu’s ruthlessness, it was not enough!

Mu Nanfeng, still shocked, was not thinking about his sister, but rather… if he could tamper with the dowry to make Mu Qianya disgrace herself in front of Xiao Yu, would Xiao Yu then direct his anger at her?
