The Dramatic Crown Princess Wants to Poison Me!

Chapter 758: Chapter 736: Ten Percent

There’s someone in the carriage.

Gu Heng sensed it too, clenched his fists, took a step forward, ready to fight at any moment.

At this moment, the curtain of the carriage lifted, revealing a fair and beautiful face, with a gentle smile on it. She said to Xia Wenjin, ”Can I hitch a ride with you? You don’t mind, do you?”

Xia Wenjin smiled and said, ”I don’t mind!”

As she spoke, she also got into the carriage and said to Gu Heng, ”Drive the carriage; an extraordinary chef!”

Gu Heng asked nothing and climbed onto the carriage seat.

Inside the carriage, the woman said with a smile, ”I heard the Blood Tiger Hall was challenged today!”

Xia Wenjin smiled and said, ”Yes, I’m here to watch the excitement!”

”Was it exciting?”

”Of course, it was exciting!”

The woman said with interest, ”Didn’t you used to call me Fourth Sister? Why don’t you call me that now?”

Xia Wenjin blinked and said, ”Would you respond if I called you that?”

The woman laughed and said, ”Why wouldn’t I? Having such a beautiful and cute younger sister isn’t a bad thing!”

Xia Wenjin laughed, ”Having a sister like Miss Mu is also wonderful, but I realized I was a bit presumptuous before. Actually, that time was my first meeting with Sister Mu!”

Mu Ziyu listened, and although she was being called sister, she felt that Sister Mu didn’t sound as nice as Fourth Sister.

Besides, calling her directly Fourth Sister had a special significance.

She leaned closer, her beautiful eyes on Xia Wenjin, and asked, ”So why did you call me Fourth Sister when we first met?”

Xia Wenjin didn’t answer, just smiled and asked, ”That ointment, does it work well for you, sister?”

Mu Ziyu laughed. If that ointment wasn’t good, why would she be here?

She felt life was so amazing. She had been desperate, but that day, she was merely bored and went to inspect the business her senior brothers established together and encountered a very familiar little girl. That little girl said some inexplicable things and gave her an ointment.

Given her caution and Jianghu experience, she should have paid no attention to something with an unclear origin, but that girl’s eyes were so clear and pure, and everything she said was so appealing.

She didn’t know if it was a stroke of luck or if she couldn’t resist the temptation of recovery, but she ended up using it.

She had thought that if the ointment was ineffective, if it was just this little girl’s way of scamming her, or if it were poison, she wouldn’t fear it, having tried many medicines over the years, even poison couldn’t easily kill her.

However, those who tried to poison her all shared the same fate—they piteously headed for Yama Hall.

It was after using the ointment that she saw those scars fade away, the ugly places grew new skin, smooth and tender like baby skin, that she began to ponder over the little girl’s expressions, every word she said, and realized some difference.

She was here today to solve this mystery and to express her gratitude for such a huge favor. Of course, she wanted to ask what the counterpart wanted in return!

Mu Ziyu smiled gently, her long eyes gleaming brightly, and she said, ”It’s working well! So, now can you tell me how you knew I needed this?”

Xia Wenjin said, ”You don’t need to worry about that; it doesn’t matter where I found out. What’s important is that it helps you!”

”So what do you want?”

Xia Wenjin looked at her.

Mu Ziyu kept smiling, but her smile was cautious, wary, probing, and skeptical.

She wasn’t the same as the Fourth Sister who doted on her, trusted her immensely, and loved her in the past life.

No, the Fourth Sister hadn’t changed; it was she who had changed, for she was no longer the woman with the experiences of her past life, and hence, her encounter with Fourth Sister was different from before.

Some things changed, so did her feelings; there was no life-and-death experience shared with Fourth Sister, nor an acquaintance formed in adversity, naturally lacking such emotions.

Isn’t it quite good now?

She preferred that her Fourth Sister never had to endure such hardships or encounter such miserable times.

”What do I want?” Xia Wenjin mused for a moment, then said, ”If I say next, I want to treat your master’s back pain, will you take me to see her?”

She had asked last time, and the response she got was Mu Ziyu almost killed her.

This time, Mu Ziyu was quite calm, not making a move, and asked, ”Do you know who my master is? Also, my master doesn’t have any back pain. Could it be you’ve mistaken someone?”
