Lin Yu Ning’s body stiffened abruptly, and she turned back sharply, “What do you mean by that?”
Ye Ning Yuan propped her chin in her hand and smacked her lips, “Don’t get so agitated. I’m just offering you some advice, and this time it’s free of charge.”
Lin Yu Ning stared at her for a moment, “Speak.”
“It’s quite simple, really. There’s a saying: strike while the iron is hot, and when the time comes, I personally think Princess Lian’s Consort shouldn’t show mercy. If you can eliminate the roots, do so as soon as possible. It will be beneficial for you.”
As Ye Ning Yuan spoke, a glint flashed in her eyes.
Lin Yu Ning frowned, puzzled, “What exactly do you mean? Is this your strategy?”
Where did this strategy come from?
Ye Ning Yuan wagged a finger, “Don’t misunderstand. When I said I’d help you, I didn’t mean right now. However, I think your wish will be granted soon enough.”
Lin Yu Ning didn’t want to play games with her anymore, “I hope so.”
She dropped those four words and turned to leave.
Ye Ning Yuan sat alone in the room, took a sip of tea, and mused playfully, “Alright, it’s time to go back and see what Mo Mo is up to?”
The next three days in the capital would likely be quite lively.
Su Yun Mo had just gotten out of bed and was sitting at the dining table eating after washing up.
Lin Lang entered from outside, “Mistress, do you plan to stay in the manor today, or would you like to go out? If you’re going out, shall I accompany you?”
Su Yun Mo stuffed a bun into her mouth, “Are the others not around?”
Lin Lang poured soup while saying, “Zi Yuan said she wasn’t feeling well this morning and has been in her room. Lu Luo went to get a doctor and medicine for her.”
Su Yun Mo hastily swallowed the bun, choking slightly, “She’s sick? Why didn’t she tell… cough cough… tell me?”
Lin Lang quickly brought the soup to her lips for her to drink and patted her back, “Little Mistress, don’t worry. I’ve already gone to see her.”
“Zi Yuan said it’s just a cold. She’s not seeing anyone through the door, fearing contagion. Mistress, you don’t need to worry.”
Su Yun Mo drank a mouthful of soup, finally catching her breath, “Is that so? Then help me get some medicine for her later.”
If it’s just a cold, she’ll be better in a couple of days. Knowing Zi Yuan’s personality, she probably wouldn’t even see me if I went.
Lin Lang nodded, “Yes. Would you like to eat more?”
The little dumpling downed the remaining half bowl of soup in two gulps and wiped her mouth, “I’m full. Let’s go, come out with me.”
Lin Lang quickly followed her.
As the mistress and servant couple just stepped out the door, Ye Ning Yuan entered from outside. Seeing the little dumpling leaving her room from afar, she hurried over in three steps, “Mo Mo, is breakfast ready?”
Su Yun Mo glanced at her, “Where did you go early this morning?”
“You were still asleep when I woke up, and no one was playing with me, so I went out for a stroll. Are you worried about me?” She chuckled and leaned in.
The little dumpling dodged to the side, and she almost fell to the ground, immediately putting on a pitiful expression.
Su Yun Mo couldn’t be bothered with her, “The food is still in the room, it hasn’t been cleared yet. Go and eat, and remember to clean up the dishes afterward.”
“Got it!” Ye Ning Yuan whistled and darted into the room, then quickly turned back out, “Aren’t you eating? Are you going out?”
Su Yun Mo was still walking out and casually replied, “Mm.”
Ye Ning Yuan grabbed her arm, “Then I’m going with you too! Don’t you even think about ditching me!”
How could she miss out on the fun? That’s a joke!
Su Yun Mo paused, then suddenly smiled, “Alright, then you can come along.”
Ye Ning Yuan looked surprised, “Why are you so agreeable this time? You’re not planning to scheme against me, are you?”
Su Yun Mo raised an eyebrow, “If you’re afraid of being schemed against, you can choose not to follow.”
Ye Ning Yuan pouted, “Then I’ll still follow you. Even if it’s a scheme, I’m sticking with you no matter what!”
Lin Lang had prepared a carriage outside the manor gates.
After the two got into the carriage, it traveled east and stopped a moment later.
The carriage curtain was lifted, revealing the Princess’s Manor.
Ye Ning Yuan was slightly surprised.
Su Yun Mo jumped off the carriage and patted the snow that had splashed onto her, “Do you know what a chain reaction is?”
Ye Ning Yuan rubbed her chin with a finger and smacked her lips, “No, but I know what ‘dog eat dog’ means.”
After saying that, she walked to the entrance of the Princess’s Manor and kicked the doorframe. She turned back to Su Yun Mo and made a face.
Su Yun Mo crossed her arms and, for once, didn’t hold back her praise, “Quite clever. It was the right decision to bring you.”
Having a county princess cause trouble at the princess’s door would surely make Ye Yun Shuang feel even more humiliated.
The sound of kicking the door continued.
Soon, the main gate opened.
The steward came out cursing, “Who is it! Do you want to die? How dare you cause trouble at the Princess’s Manor so early in the morning?”
Ye Ning Yuan rolled a snowball and threw it directly at his head, “It’s me. Got a problem?”
The steward was hit squarely.
Snow smeared his face, and he tilted his head back and fell to the ground. Two people came out from inside and rushed to help him up.
As the steward was helped up and about to curse, he was shocked to see Ye Ning Yuan, “It’s Your Highness the County Princess? Why have you come here so suddenly?”
Ye Ning Yuan moved aside, “Not only have I come, but someone even more troublesome is right behind me.”
The steward looked up at the little dumpling standing outside the door and was stunned, “And where did you come from, girl?”
Su Yun Mo breathed into her hands and said faintly, “Lin Lang, throw these two stray dogs into the courtyard.”
As soon as she spoke, Lin Lang flew forward.
Before the steward and the others could even see clearly, they were kicked flying several times.
The courtyard immediately became noisy.
When Ye Yun Shuang came out, more than half of the servants had already been knocked to the ground.
The servants were piled up like a human pyramid.
Su Yun Mo was using them as stools.
Ye Yun Shuang saw her and gritted her teeth in hatred, pointing at her and angrily saying, “Su Yun Mo, you have such gall! This is the Princess’s Manor, is this a place where you can run wild?”
She was already annoyed that she couldn’t accompany them to the sacrifice due to illness, and this damned girl was here to add to her troubles. Was she not embarrassed enough?
“Don’t misunderstand, I’m not here to run wild. I’m here to cause trouble,” Su Yun Mo said with a smile.
Did this person think that the matter of her colluding with Lin Yu Ning to scheme against her mother had passed?
She had been busy these days and hadn’t settled the score with her, she was saving it for her, not forgetting.
Ye Ning Yuan whistled, “Mo Mo, you’re amazing!”
Ye Yun Shuang turned to look at her, “And you, Ye Ning Yuan! As a member of the royal family, you mingle with this damned girl all day, and I won’t even mention that. Today, you’ve even come here with her to cause chaos! I will definitely tell my imperial brother to punish you!”
Ye Ning Yuan smacked her lips, “We’ll talk about that after Father and the others return to the capital. You should worry about how to get through today first.”
If Mo Mo starts a scene, it won’t stop so easily.
“You!” Ye Yun Shuang took a deep breath and glared at the two, “What exactly do you want?”
Su Yun Mo jumped down from her human-shaped seat, “It’s very simple. I’ll smash your Princess’s Manor, and consider it your apology to my mother for what happened last time.”
