My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

Chapter 151: Seemingly Far in the Horizon but Actually Right in Front of You

Young Miss Cousin! Youre Young Miss Cousin right?

The voice of joy and excitement sounded, and Lou Mu Yan saw a sturdy old man walking towards them when she looked to the direction of the voice.

Uncle Zhen. She recognised this man as the chief steward of the Ling Mansion, and also an old man who had followed her maternal grandfather for many years.

Its really Young Miss Cousin! Five years have passed, youve really grown into a big miss. Ling Zhen walked to Lou Mu Yan and said with a smile.

Compared to five years ago, the Young Miss Cousin now had undergone earth-shaking changes. Not only did she have beauty that could cause the downfall of a country, but the change in temperament almost made him unable to recognise her.

With an otherworldly and refined temperament, along with a sense of uninhibitedness and boldness, he had never seen a second young girl like this in the younger generation.

Uncle Zhen, is my maternal grandpa here? Lou Mu Yan asked with a smile.

Hes here. Who knows how many times Patriarch has thought of you before. If you want to come to the Ling Clan, you shouldve sent a message and Patriarch could send someone to pick you up.

Lou Mu Yan smiled lightly and said: Isnt it so that I could surprise he, my respected grandpa?

Haha, thats right. Patriarch will definitely be very happy to see you. Ling Zhen laughed happily, then seeing the few people standing beside Lou Mu Yan, he was stunned. He had only paid attention to Young Miss Cousin just now and didnt expect that these three Young Lords also came.

Young Lords and Third Prince are truly rare guests. Please quickly come in. Ling Zhen curbed his affection for Lou Mu Yan and was very polite to the four of them.

Well trouble Elderly Steward. Ye Qing Han said.

After Ling Zhen led the group into the City Lords Mansion they went straight into the hall, and he ordered a guard next to him to invite Patriarch.

Not long after the few people sat down in the hall, an old man who walked swiftly as if flying, with a ruddy complexion and who looked about fifty years old walked in. Behind him followed two middle-aged men and Ling Fei Hao.

I heard that my familys mischievous little girl is here. Before the person themselves even entered the door, his sonorous voice entered first.

Lou Mu Yan stood up and greeted him with a lively smile: Maternal Grandpa really is a treasured sword that doesnt age, truly still elegant as usual. Even more energetic than Paternal Grandfather.

Haha, stinky girl. I havent seen you for a few years and this mouth sure knows what to say now. Ling Hong Zhuo gazed at Lou Mu Yan softly and praised: My familys stinky girl is naturally beautiful. Just how old are you and youre already so gorgeously beautiful. I wonder how many young talents would be enamoured by you in the future.

The corner of Lou Mu Yans lips twitched and glared at him, Shameless old man.

Haha, stinky girl also knows how to be shy! Having not seen his granddaughter for many years, Ling Hong Zhuo missed her dearly, so the moment he saw her, he just wanted to joke around dotingly.

Ye Qing Han and the three others immediately got up and greeted Ling Hong Zhuo formally, Junior greets Patriarch Ling!

No need to be so polite. You all must be tired after following this stinky girl. Ill get some people to take you down to wash up and have a good rest. Ling Hong Zhuos expression was harmonious.

The four of them also knew that the Ling Family and Lou Mu Yan had private things to say, so they all smiled and responded, Then This Junior will leave first.

After the four of them left, Ling Hong Zhuo patted Lou Mu Yans head lightly and said, Little heartless stinky girl, only now do you remember to come see Maternal Grandpa.

Lou Mu Yan also knew that her maternal grandfathers temperament was more like an old naughty boy than her paternal grandfather, so she smiled and wrapped her arms around his, saying: Before, I was trash, so I was afraid that Id blacken Maternal Grandfathers name. Now that Ive washed away the name of trash, Ive come to see you, my Respected Grandpa, and make you happy too.

You stinky girl. When did I ever feel disgust towards you being trash? Whether youre trash or whether youre a genius, youre all my, Ling Hong Zhuos, granddaughter. Ling Hong Zhuo was helped by Lou Mu Yan to sit in the main seat.

Lou Mu Yan stood next to him respectfully and smiled, saying: Yes. Of course Im your granddaughter any time. Isnt it all just because I wanted to give you a pleasant surprise?

No pleasant surprise, but there sure are a bunch of shocking terrors. Ling Hong Zhuo rolled his eyes at her without a good attitude.

Lou Mu Yan also didnt mind and giggled merrily to gloss over the situation, then addressed the two middle-aged men who entered the door last: Second Maternal Uncle, Third Maternal Uncle.

Mu Yan has really grown up. No wonder they say that when women grow they change eighteen times¹. Lou Mu Yans second maternal uncle, Ling Zi Ming, praised with a smile.

Lou Mu Yan used to be a domineering and wilful little girl. Who knew that it had only been five years time and shed grow to look so slim and graceful with an outstanding temperament.

Wheres Little Maternal Uncle? Lou Mu Yan had four maternal uncles in total. The most awesome and powerful maternal uncle was missing, Second Maternal Uncle and Third Maternal Uncle were relatively more mediocre, while Little Maternal Uncle was also an active and influential figure.

Your Little Maternal Uncle travelled to the Southern Region. Third Maternal Uncle Ling Zi Wen said.

Ever since the conversation with Ye Zhan, Lou Mu Yan also had a broader, general understanding of Tianling Continent. She furrowed her brows and said, Isnt it dangerous to travel to the Southern Region?

Hes already an adult. If he wants to venture into the world, then let him. Its useless to try to detain him. Ling Hong Zhuo waved his hand dismissively and said indifferently.

When ones son grows up, their heart grows wild. Especially his youngest son and eldest son who were both outstanding talents. It was a waste to detain them in this small world that was the Ling Clan.

Lou Mu Yan thought a bit, then nodded, Thats true. Little Maternal Uncles that smart, so he should be fine.

Stinky girl, lets talk, whats the main purpose of you coming to the Ling Clan this time? Ling Hong Zhuo looked at Lou Mu Yan with a smile that wasnt quite a smile.

He had long heard that this girl had changed, but he didnt expect the change to be so big. But this was fine toothis way, she wouldnt be bullied by others.

Of course Im here to visit Maternal Grandpa and my Maternal Uncles. Lou Mu Yan said with a smile, confident and justly: I learnt a medical skill and I also came to remove the poison for Elder Cousin Brother Fei Yang.

Stinky girl, I also heard that youre an Alchemist now, but the poison in Fei Yangs body isnt that easy to cure. Mentioning his most highly thought of grandson, Ling Hong Zhuos face grew sullen.

After Ling Fei Yang was injured and poisoned, he had invited a number of Physicians and Alchemists to come for treatment, but they all had no idea. In the end, he invited a high-level Alchemist from the Mu Clan to refine a type of pill that suppressed the poison into his two legs, and only then was his life saved.

It wasnt easy to completely get rid of the poison, but they hadnt completely given up yet. As long as there was a chance, they wanted to seize it.

Maternal Grandpa, the little princess of the Ye Clan, Ye Qing Le, you all know of her right?

Naturally we know. That child is also pitiful. She had been tortured by the foetal poison since young, and they also invited who knows how many Physicians and Alchemists, yet still couldnt be cured. Ling Hong Zhuo sighed, then asked Lou Mu Yan: What are you mentioning her for? Dont tell me the poison in her body was cured by someone?

Although the poison in her body hasnt been completely eliminated, but soon it will be. Lou Mu Yan said.

What? Ling Hong Zhuo exclaimed in disbelief. Even Ling Zi Ming and Ling Zi Wen revealed gazes of incredulity.

Ye Qing Les foetal poison was known among the Ten Distinguished Clans as extremely difficult to cure. Not long ago, there was even news that spread that she wouldnt live past eighteen-years-old. Who wouldve thought that it was mostly cured now.

Who has that ability to cure that kind of foetal poison? Ling Hong Zhuos tone appeared to carry some excitement.

If that kind of domineering and powerful foetal poison could even be cured, then the person who cured it must have exceptional medical skills. Fei Yangs legs would also have hope.

Ling Zi Ming and Ling Zi Wen both watched Lou Mu Yan expectantly, waiting for her to speak. Ling Fei Yang was the most promising heir of the Clan in the younger generation, and they also hoped that he could get rid of the chronic illness and stand up one day in the future.

Lou Mu Yan chuckled lightly, pointed her finger at herself and said: Seemingly far in the horizon but actually right in front of you²!

¹a saying that basically means a female changes a lot as they grow and theres no telling what shell look like when she grows up.

²quite self-explanatory but its well-known saying. Usually said playfully to call attention so someone or something right in front of someones eyes.
