The next morning, invitations to the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet from the General's Mansion flew to various residences like snowflakes. Liu Siwan and Mo Zhixia were holding a booklet and choosing a husband for Mo Liuyun from among the booklets.

“Mother, I think this young master Wang is quite good. He is the grandson of the Minister of Rites, eighteen years old this year, handsome, and knows how to cherish women.”

Liu Siwan nodded: "The eldest grandson of the Minister's family and the young lady of the General's family are a good match, but this Young Master Liu is also quite good. He is the second son of Princess Anyang and knows how to take care of people!"

Seeing the mother and daughter smiling so brightly, yet harboring malicious intentions to scheme against the young lady, Caiyun felt a chill run down her spine. What if she did something wrong one day, and ended up even worse off than the young lady?

Others may not know who those people are; at first glance, they all appear to be princes and nobles, with seemingly perfect family backgrounds and moral character. However, there are always a few bad apples in any large family.

Take that young master Wang for example. He slept with his sister's maid when he was twelve years old. As he grew up, he became even more unscrupulous, flirting with women and frequenting brothels. Last month, he even got into a fight with the son of Vice Minister Li of the Ministry of War over the title of courtesan.

Furthermore, there are rumors that that young master Liu is abusive. He is only twenty years old and has already married three wives, all of whom died within about a year. It is said that he would beat and scold them regularly, and the most recent one passed away less than three months ago!

In the blink of an eye, Mo Liuyun had already been at her maternal grandparents' house for three days. It was time to prepare for her maternal grandparents' meridian cleansing. She wondered if she should also check on how Wuming and the others were doing with their preparations. Also, the seasonings from Wangjiang Pavilion should be delivered soon.

Fortunately, the space has been upgraded and the warehouse has become larger, otherwise there really wouldn't be enough room for all of these things. The space coins are also rising rapidly thanks to the recycling of fruit trees and medicinal herbs, so Mo Liuyun no longer has to worry about not being able to buy things from the mall.

That evening, Mo Liuyun gathered everyone together, planning to have his third cousin come first while the others checked the situation. Mo Liuyun asked his third cousin to prepare a large bucket of hot water and clean clothes, and then gave each of his maternal grandparents, mother, uncle, aunt, and Ajin a mask, saying they would need them later.

Xiao Jinhua was puzzled. Mo Liuyun said that she would understand in a moment, and also said that no matter what, she should not use her internal energy to resist the pain. Xiao Jinhua did not care. Why would a grown man be afraid of pain?

After just one cup of spiritual spring water, or the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, Xiao Jinhua was in so much pain he was practically rolling on the ground. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was clenching his fists so tightly they were bleeding. Mo Liuyun, worried that he wouldn't be able to endure it, gave him acupuncture once to help clear his meridians and accelerate the effects of the spiritual spring. The session ended a quarter of an hour later, and Xiao Jinhua was emitting a foul stench that even people wearing masks couldn't resist, and they all fled. Xiao Jinhua was disgusted by himself and quickly jumped into a bucket to wash himself. He washed himself with three buckets of water before he was clean.

Xiao Nan: Did the young master fall into a cesspool? It smells like shit, so bad he doesn't even want to eat!

After Xiao Jinhua emerged looking refreshed, everyone noticed his transformation. He seemed different from the inside out, even more handsome, with an ethereal air. Xiao Jinhua felt a powerful inner force hidden within his meridians. He then raised his hand and swung it at the stone table in the courtyard. With a crack, the stone table split in two!

Xiao Jinhua: Holy crap! I'm that amazing?!

Xiao Qi: I probably can't beat this kid right now!

Xiao Yi: You spendthrift! I have to spend money to buy new things again!

Only Mo Liujin's eyes sparkled: "Third cousin, you're amazing! You broke such a big table!"

Then came Xiao Yi and Xiao Qi. Having been through countless battles, they had withstood the impact of the spiritual spring with their own strength, making them even stronger than before! After their bath, Xiao Qi knelt directly before Madam Chu: "Mother, I'm sorry to have worried you! I've recovered and am even stronger than before! I won't cause you any more worry!"

Chu nodded, helped her son up, and prepared to drink the spiritual spring water. Xiao Yi and Xiao Qi were both very worried, but to their surprise, the two of them were even more resilient than the father and son, and didn't even utter a sound!

The father and son were even more puzzled, wondering if Mo Liuyun had given them something different. Mo Liuyun said calmly, "It is said that childbirth is the most painful thing in the world, like having ten ribs broken at the same time. My maternal grandmother and maternal aunt have both given birth, so they can endure it!"

Upon hearing this, the father and son felt even more grateful for their wives and mothers' sacrifices and secretly vowed to cherish their wives and be even more filial to their mothers!

Inside the study of the Prince of Pingnan's mansion, An Yi held a red invitation card: "Your Highness, General Mo's mansion has sent an invitation. The old lady's birthday is on the first day of next month. A chrysanthemum appreciation banquet will be held in the mansion, inviting young men from various noble families to attend. I've heard rumors that it's to find a match for the young lady of the family!"

"Oh, I don't know which young lady this is for. As far as I know, the Mo family only has two young ladies. One has already been betrothed to the fourth prince, and the other is also the fourth prince's confidante. Is this old lady out of her mind? She wants to find a match for her granddaughter? Who would dare to risk offending the fourth prince?!" Nangong Li looked on with amusement.

An Yi: "Master, should we go or not?!"

"Of course I'll go! There'll be something exciting to see. Why not? I'm just killing time anyway!" Nangong Li took the invitation and placed it on the table. "I'll prepare a gift and go in person!"

Nangong Li had another ulterior motive. He had been searching for a long time but had not been able to find the woman's whereabouts. However, the only woman who appeared at the edge of the world was Mo Liuyun, and he wanted to go and confirm if it was her.

"By the way, Master, news just came from Huichuntang that Liu Siwan's personal maid, Caiyun, went to Huichuntang to inquire if they sold any sleeping potions. The manager took note and sent someone to follow her. This woman then went to a brothel to find the madam and spent a lot of money to buy a Peach Blossom Wine. She also went to find out about the recent movements of Young Master Wang and Young Master Liu! Her behavior seems a bit strange, but I can't figure it out." An Yi looked puzzled.

Nangong Li thought through all these events together! From the flower-viewing banquet to spreading rumors about arranging a marriage for the young lady, to the drugging and aphrodisiacs, to inquiring about scumbags, this mother and daughter are truly vicious. Not only did they steal someone else's husband, but they also ruined Mo Liuyun's reputation!

"Damn it!" Nangong Li crushed the teacup in his hand! Crimson blood flowed from his palm!

"Master!" An Yi quickly pulled Nangong Li's hand to remove the fragments, then ordered someone to bring a basin of clean water to wash the wound and apply wound medicine: "What has Master thought of? Why are you so angry! Who is it? I will go and kill them."

"An Yi, send a message to Wu Shuang, tell him to tell Xiao San, and then tell Mo Liuyun about Mo Zhixia and her daughter's recent arrangements. A woman as intelligent as her will surely guess that the flower-viewing banquet is a trap, and she will be extra careful! Don't mention me." Nangong Li looked at his bandaged hand, wondering why he had been so angry.

"I'll take care of it right away!" An Yi finished tidying up the fragments and other items, then took the basin out to send a message to Wu Shuang!

With Mo Liuyun's help, Xiao family's youngest member, Mo Liujin, also had his meridians cleansed. Mo Liuyun also noticed that after the Xiao family members drank the spiritual spring water and expelled impurities from their bodies, they all seemed to look much younger. The wrinkles on Chu's face had faded considerably, and Xiao looked just like Mo Liuyun's older sister. Everyone looked refreshed and full of energy.

Mo Liuyun said, "Grandfather, this is all I can do for you. You will have to figure out what to do next. I have already told my third cousin about my ideas. If you agree, you can come to the Mo family to find me anytime. Also, there are three bottles of spiritual spring water and some medicine for self-defense. Third cousin can send a reliable person to deliver them to second uncle and eldest and second cousins!"

Xiao Jinhua took the small box from Mo Liuyun: "I will deliver it myself. I don't trust anyone else with it!"

"Besides, this is low-grade spiritual spring water, so its effects are weaker. Grandfather can keep it for the person he's caring for. I'll head back to the manor tomorrow; I still have things to take care of. Mother, Ajin, please stay here and keep Grandfather and Grandmother company. I'll send someone to pick you up later!" Everyone agreed with Mo Liuyun's words. It was reasonable for Madam Xiao and her son to stay behind, saying that Father had just recovered and needed to care for him.

After everyone had discussed it, they went back to their rooms. As soon as Xiao Jinhua opened the door, she saw someone sitting in the room. It was Wushuang. Wushuang didn't keep her in suspense and directly told her what she had discovered, asking her to remind the young lady to be very careful.

After seeing Wushuang off, Xiao Jinhua thought for a moment, then wrote down what Wushuang had said with her left hand, put it in an envelope, and then wrote on the envelope with her right hand: To my dear cousin!

Xiao Nan's lips twitched. The young master was changing roles again. Who would have thought that the young master could wield the brush with both hands and write calligraphy? He looked refined and gentle, but in reality, his martial arts skills were only second to An Yi Wushuang. However, the young master now seemed to have an aura that overwhelmed Wushuang. He wondered if it was just his imagination!

It must be said that people who practice martial arts are indeed more sensitive in all aspects. Xiao Nan knocked on Mo Liuyun's door, handed over the letter, and was about to turn around and leave when Mo Liuyun stopped him and asked him to wait. He then took out two apples from the room and gave them to him.

Xiao Nan grinned, holding two apples, and said, "Thank you, Miss!"

Mo Liuyun nodded, letting him leave. She quite liked this little foodie. Turning back to her room, she opened the letter, skimming through it. She understood immediately. Very well! I didn't contact you, yet you plotted against me again! Then I'll grant your wish!
