Chapter 269 Too Overconfident
When Granny Song looked at Su Muyao, her eyes narrowed into slits with laughter.

She knew that the Empress had always wanted to rightfully give that position to Su Muyao, but there was no reason before. Now, there was finally a legitimate reason to bestow the title of princess upon her.

Step by step, that position belongs to the young lady.

Moreover, the Queen's health is currently poor, and she may not be able to wait much longer.

After Su Muyao received the imperial decree and expressed her gratitude, she looked at Granny Song and said, "Granny Song, I would like to go to the palace to personally thank Her Majesty the Empress."

She wanted to talk to the Empress about her health condition in person.

Since she was her own grandmother, who had protected her and treated her so well since she was a child, she would definitely not let anything happen to her grandmother.

With a smile on her face, Granny Song said, "That's fine too."

The Empress will be very pleased to see Miss Su.

Wen Nanxi and the others were a little worried about Su Muyao and wanted to accompany her into the palace.

But Su Muyao felt that too many people would attract too much attention, so she said, "I'll be right back."

Wen Nanxi and the others could only stay at home for the time being.

After Su Muyao boarded the carriage and entered the palace, Shen Ci'an looked at Mei Qingchen and said, "Your strength has improved now, hasn't it?"

Mei Qingchen revealed her supernatural abilities.

"Level nine!"

Everyone looked on with expressions of certainty.

Both Mei Qingchen and the wife have upgraded their superpowers.

The wife currently possesses level ten supernatural abilities, so she should be fine.

Although I thought this way, I couldn't help but worry, because the Beast Emperor City was extremely treacherous, and there was something like Liu Mengyan who was eyeing us covetously.

"Go and keep an eye on the movements of the Liu family and Liu Mengyan."

……

In Liu Mengyan's mansion, Jiang Mochuan sat on the bed, his face pale and bloodless.

Last night, he was seriously injured, but Liu Mengyan still wanted to spend the night with him despite his injuries, which he refused.

He then realized that Liu Mengyan was nothing like the beautiful image he had imagined.

Only after his dreamlike fantasy shattered did he realize some things for what they were like.

Last night, Liu Mengyan actually tried to force herself on him. Fortunately, he brought many trusted subordinates with him to the Liu family, so Liu Mengyan still had some reservations and didn't show it too obviously. However, after he had some doubts, he saw the problem in many things last night.

Moreover, Su Muyao's words at the palace banquet yesterday kept echoing in his ears.

If someone has put him under a curse, it must be related to Liu Mengyan.

There are some things he didn't think about much before, but now he realizes there are problems everywhere.

It was just that he was foolish and overconfident in the past.

Since returning from the palace banquet yesterday, Jiang Mochuan hasn't eaten a single thing, hasn't slept all night, and has no appetite at all this morning.

Jiang Mochuan seemed to sense something and clapped his hands in the air.

Jiang Jian emerged from the shadows.

"Young master, Miss Liu is no longer with the Liu family."

"Let's go back to the Jiang family."

There were some things he needed to do to go back to the Jiang family to make arrangements. He didn't feel comfortable doing anything in the Liu family, and besides, walls have ears.

Jiang Mochuan got out of bed and tidied himself up, but he felt dizzy.

"Son."

Jiang Mochuan composed himself, waved his hand, and said, "It's alright, we must return to the Jiang family today."

He felt uncomfortable staying at the Liu family's house.

Just as Jiang Mochuan finished getting ready and was about to leave with Jiang Jian, he was stopped by Liu Mengyan's older brother, Young Master Liu.

"Mo Chuan, where are you going? I heard from my sister that you were injured yesterday. You should rest and recuperate."

Jiang Mochuan looked at the expression on Young Master Liu's face and found it extremely irritating. "Big brother doesn't want me to go out."

"Mo Chuan, what do you mean by this? How could I not let you go out? I just want you to rest and recuperate properly. Otherwise, my sister will blame me for not taking good care of you when she comes back."

Jiang Mochuan didn't bother with any more words. "No need for that. I'll explain it to Mengyan myself when she returns."

"Walk."

Jiang Mochuan was adamant and led Jiang Jian and the others out. Young Master Liu tried to stop them but couldn't. After Jiang Mochuan left, Young Master Liu hurriedly told his servant, "Go find Mengyan and tell her about this."

……

Jiangjia
After Jiang Mochuan returned to the Jiang family, he felt safe and his tense body completely relaxed. However, he vomited blood and fainted on the spot.

Immediately, someone crushed the Jiang family's emergency teleportation order, and the Jiang family head rushed back at top speed.

"Doctor, how is Mo Chuan?"

The Jiang family head never expected that his son would return in such a weak and pale state after being away for so long.

He couldn't believe it.

The doctor said, "Your qi and blood are severely depleted, and your spiritual energy has been greatly consumed. You need to rest well, avoid getting angry, and refrain from using your supernatural powers. As for other things, my medical skills are limited, and I can't see anything else."

The doctor shook his head helplessly as he said this.

"Let me write you a prescription first. If you take the medicine according to the prescription, you'll feel better."

After the physician prescribed the medicine and went to brew it, the Jiang family head sat by the bed for a while and asked Jiang Jian, "What exactly happened?"

"Everything, big or small, must be explained clearly."

Jiang Jian then recounted in detail everything that had happened after Jiang Mochuan married Liu Mengyan, including the events at yesterday's palace banquet.

He even knew what Miss Su had said.

The Jiang family head listened quietly with a cold expression, and even though his expression changed halfway through, he did not interrupt Jiang Jian.

The Jiang family head remained silent until Jiang Jian finished speaking.

But Jiang Jian could clearly feel the oppressive force and cold air in the surrounding air.

He knew his family was angry.

"Evil magic?"

"How dare that brat from the Liu family treat my son like this? Does he really think the Jiang family has no one left?"

The Jiang family head has always disagreed with Jiang Mochuan marrying Liu Mengyan, a woman of unknown origin.

The Jiang family ancestors and the Su family ancestors had a good relationship. Jiang Mochuan and Su Muyao were betrothed as children. Although Su Muyao's reputation later turned sour, the Jiang family head felt that he knew the Su family well and that there wouldn't be any problems.

Because if there is a problem with the female, the male, as the mate, is likely to lose his life.

Who would have thought that Jiang Mochuan would insist on breaking off the engagement? Fine, break off the engagement then, but he just happened to take a fancy to Liu Mengyan.

He disliked Liu Mengyan from the first moment he saw her. Although he couldn't see any specific problems, he just felt uncomfortable with her.

The Jiang family head trusted his own judgment.

But Jiang Mochuan was determined to protect Liu Mengyan and marry her, so he left Beast Emperor City in a fit of anger.

When I came back, it was like this.

The Jiang family head told everyone to keep an eye on Jiang Mochuan, while he went to the Jiang family's secret chamber. After a while, the Jiang family head took out a magical artifact that resembled a mirror, dripped blood onto it to awaken its power, and then looked it up at Jiang Mochuan.

Under the illumination of this magical artifact, Jiang Mochuan's spiritual energy was dissipating outwards, and even a trace of black energy appeared around him.

The Jiang family head's expression changed drastically.

The hand holding the ritual implement trembled slightly.

"They really are bewitched. Mu Yao wasn't wrong."

Just then, someone came to report: "Reporting to the master, Miss Liu outside is requesting an audience. She said that she learned that the young master has returned and is worried about his health, so she wants to come in to see him, but our people stopped her."

Upon hearing these words, the Jiang family head turned his gaze outside, his killing intent palpable.

Just then, Jiang Mochuan was in excruciating pain and woke up abruptly.

"Mo Chuan".

Although he was angry that his son was disobedient, the Jiang family head couldn't really ignore him. Jiang Mochuan was exceptionally talented, and he was originally proud of him, but now that he was like this, the Jiang family head felt heartbroken.

"Father, I heard it all. It must be Liu Mengyan who used evil magic."

"I only let my guard down around her."

No wonder she clings to him every night.

"Ha ha……"

Jiang Mochuan laughed, a self-deprecating yet painful laugh.

The Jiang family head said, "Don't worry, I'll ask the Yue clan to save you right away."
