She pouted unhappily, her eyes filled with disgust. “This medicine is not for humans.”

“Then what are you?”

“I…” Meng Ying wanted to vomit every time she smelled the medicine.

Did Xu Nianhua deliberately prescribe such bitter and smelly medicine to disgust her?

She accepted the medicine with resignation. Her eyebrows were so furrowed that she could squeeze a mosquito if one were to be stuck in it.

She pinched his nose and drank it in one gulp.

After she finished drinking, she moved closer to Mu Yuansheng’s mouth.

Mu Yuansheng reacted quickly and stuffed a date into her mouth. “It won’t taste bitter anymore after you eat this.”

With a date in her mouth, Meng Ying was unhappy.

He knew very well what she wanted to taste the most, yet he kept trying to stop her from tasting it.

Mu Yuansheng went to the study room after stuffing a date into her mouth and Ah Da followed him.

Meng Ying knew that Ah Da was going to report to Mu Yuansheng.

To put it nicely, it was to protect her, but in reality, it was similar to spying.

They were not fools. It would be strange if they did not keep a close eye on her.

However, it did not matter. She did not do anything that others should not know.

After Meng Ying had taken her medicine, she received a call from Zhang Wei saying that Shan Wu was doing well.

Shan Wu could tolerate hiding in Xingyun Lodge for so many years because of the hatred that has built up over the years. Hence, she had planned to let Shan Wu get beaten up so as to increase the hatred in his heart. She would then make her move at the right time, making it more memorable for Shan Wu.

Today, he had finally gotten to vent a little after beating Cheng Ping up.

Of course, Shan Wu wanted more than just a beating. He wanted Cheng Ping to die.

Meng Ying sat on the balcony and basked in the sun, enjoying the world’s peace. The days were peaceful here, but she also missed the way things were in the Honesty World.

For something like what Shan Wu had encountered, he could have killed his enemies with his bare hands in that world. There was no need to be afraid of anything.

But Cheng Ping was indeed someone who deserved a beating.

Now that Xingyun Lodge was about to make huge money, it would be strange if the Cheng Family was so willing to give up on it.

At night.

Mu Yuansheng didn’t say anything, nor did he ask about what happened during the day.

They had eaten in silence until Meng Ying took the initiative to tell Mu Yuansheng about Xingyun Lodge.

Although she had bought Xingyun Lodge for 50 million dollars, she would definitely need to invest a lot more money in the future.

Zhang Wei and Zhou Yang had helped her promote the lodge for free, but she still had to pay for other expenses with her own money.

However, she had already used up all the money Meng Shiliang gave her previously.

She could spend the money in the card that Mu Yuansheng gave her, but deep down, she didn’t want to use his money.

“Hubby, do you want to invest in Xingyun Lodge? I promise you that I will make sure that you’ll earn big money.” Meng Ying observed his expression without blinking.

As long as he showed any expression of unwillingness, she would definitely not force him.

Mu Yuansheng looked up. “How much?”

“A rough estimate. This much.” She held out her fingers, gesturing.

Mu Yuansheng glanced at her and said, “Go get the money from the card I gave you.”

Meng Ying blinked her big eyes. “Can I withdraw so much money from the card?” She had only bought clothes previously and didn’t pay much attention to the spending limit when she was using the card.

Usually, there was a limit.

“There is definitely more than enough money in that card. The amount you need is small anyway,” Mu Yuansheng said casually.

Meng Ying exploded, “Small?”

She had asked for hundreds of millions, not tens of millions.

“Unless you want to build a golden mansion,” Mu Yuansheng added.

Meng Ying gasped.

Her husband was not a live-in son-in-law!

Why was she so lucky?

After she died, she came back to life. After she lived, such a good-looking man married her. Not only was he good-looking, but he was also wealthy.

Meng Ying felt that she must have saved the universe for this to be happening to her.

She could not hide her excitement and pounced on him in an instant, hugging his face and kissing him.

Kissing sounds sounded in the room for a long time. Auntie Lian and the other servants were too embarrassed to look at them.

Mu Yuansheng almost fainted from her kiss. He hurriedly pinched her chin and said with a gloomy gaze, “That’s enough.”

Meng Ying pursed her lips happily and shook her head. Her eyes lit up. “Not enough.”

“…”

Just as she was about to move closer, Mu Yuansheng grabbed her wrist and said sternly, “Stop fooling around.”

“I’m not fooling around. This is clearly the fun between husband and wife.” Meng Ying pouted unhappily. “You’re my husband. Who else can I kiss if not you? Do you want me to kiss another man?”

The people around them broke out in cold sweat when they heard that.

However, they couldn’t blame Madam for being so “dissatisfied”. Madam was always the one making love gestures, and he had never taken the initiative.

Could it be that Sir didn’t like Madam?

If he didn’t like her, why did he marry her?

Mu Yuansheng’s eyes twitched. “I still have something on. I’ll go to the study room.”

Meng Ying glared at him. She let go of him and went upstairs.

Mu Yuansheng pinched his glabella and sighed helplessly.

…

The next day.

Meng Shiliang came to the house early in the morning and had been waiting for Meng Ying for half an hour.

He knew that Meng Ying could sleep for a long time and was not surprised by it.

“Dad, why are you here?” Meng Ying greeted.

Meng Shiliang looked at his daughter, who was now behaving normally and speaking in a calm manner. It must have taken Mu Yuansheng a lot of effort to turn her normal.

Deep down, he knew that his daughter was not stupid. She was just a little silly.

Now that she was much more normal, he felt more at ease.

“Yingying, I want to ask you something.” Meng Shiliang was gentle and loving. No matter what his daughter did, as long as it wasn’t illegal, he didn’t care.

Meng Ying nodded obediently.

Meng Shiliang asked, “You bought the land rights of Leaping Dragon Bay, right?”

“Yes.”

“Did the young master of Xiangyao Real Estate find trouble with you yesterday?”

“Yes.”

Meng Shiliang asked again, “Did you beat him up?”

Meng Ying nodded again.

Meng Shiliang frowned. “You did it?”

“No, I asked someone to beat him up.”

“Now, Cheng Xiangyao wants to sue you for injuring his son. Let me ask you, who did you get to do this?”

Meng Ying understood what he meant. He wanted to push the blame on Shan Wu.

Mu Yuansheng, who was sitting beside her, didn’t say anything. He only glanced at Meng Ying.

Xiangyao’s crown prince was still in a coma after he was beaten up and sent to the hospital. It would be strange if Cheng Xiangyao suffered in silence.

“I asked someone to do it.”

“I know. Who hit him?” Meng Shiliang thought that she did not understand him. “Who injured Cheng Ping?”

Meng Ying said, “Dad, I’m the mastermind.”

Meng Shiliang frowned. “You…”

“Dad, you don’t have to listen to what Cheng Xiangyao has to say. If he wants to look for me, let him.” Meng Ying had a rare serious look on her face. “I have no plans on entertaining him pertaining to this matter.”

Meng Shiliang was stunned by her arrogant tone.

This child had changed after she jumped into the river. Compared to before, she had become more difficult to understand.

“Before Cheng Xiangyao started his career, he was a hooligan in society. Yingying, you are still young. You don’t understand the dangers of the world. I wouldn’t be afraid at all if Cheng Xiangyao dealt with this matter openly. However, his methods can be despicable. I’m worried that he will scheme against you one day. How would we deal with it then?”
