Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 108

~ LADY JIN’S VISIT ~ 

 

That night, Governor Zhang and the other officials of Jingling City had all turned pale. They had sent out all their men to investigate the reason behind the fire at Ni Yun Fang. 

At that time, with so many people present, everyone could see that a thick and heavy bronze padlock locked Ni Yun Fang’s entrance. Everyone was already discussing it, saying someone had deliberately tried to murder Mu Yunyao. They set fire to Ni Yun Fang in the middle of the night and even locked the door to prevent anyone from fleeing. 

Most of the citizens of Jingling City benefited from the embroidery needling technique. If they did not investigate this matter quickly, citizens would be angry! 

The following morning, Lady Jin rushed over to Mu Yunyao’s home. Su Qing had just finished cooking the Eight Treasures Rice for Mu Yanyao, and upon seeing Lady Jin, she immediately revealed a happy expression. Although it was a forced look, it was sincere: “Greetings, Lady Jin. I heard from Yao’er that you are pregnant now. We have troubled you to come all the way here. I thank Madam on behalf of Yao’er.” 

Lady Jin stepped forward and held Su Qing’s hand. Her face filled with pain and anxiety as she said: “Yunyao is intelligent and considerate. She has helped me a lot. When Yanyao gets into trouble, how could I not come to visit? Is Yunyao awake now?” 

“She just woke up and wanted to eat Eight Treasures Rice. I just finished cooking and was about to deliver it to her!” 

“That’s great. I’ll go take a look at Yunyao.” 

Mu Yunyao was leaning against the side of the bed, lost in thought, and upon hearing the footsteps at the door, she quickly put on a sweet smile and yelled coquettishly at the door: “Mother, is the Eight Treasures Rice ready? Your Yao’er is starving to death!” 

Su Qing smiled helplessly at Lady Jin. “Yao’er character has always been like this. I’m sorry for making fun of you.” 

Lady Jin was a little stunned. She never thought that Mu Yunyao, who was usually meticulous and thorough, would have such a childish time. Looking at the doting smile on Su Qing’s face, Lady Jin could not help but feel a little envious of Su Qing. She would undoubtedly spoil her daughter to the heavens if she had a daughter like Mu Yunyao. 

Hearing Su Qing’s voice, Mu Yunyao only realized that Lady Jin had also come. Her face immediately revealed an embarrassed expression, and she got up to get off the bed to pay her respects. 

Lady Jin hurriedly entered the room and stopped Mu Yunyao: “Quickly lie down. Why are you still being courteous? I heard from Old Master that you were severely injured and nearly fell from the higher of the building’s floor. Just hearing it caused my heart to jump in fear. You who experience it must have been terrified. 

Mu Yunyao didn’t force herself to get up either. “I’ve made Madam worried. I’m fine. I only suffered some superficial wounds, so I’ll be fine after recuperating for a while.” 

Her face was pale at this moment. She wore a snow-white robe, making her look petite and slender. Her palm-sized face was so pale that it made one’s heartache. 

Lady Jin held Mu Yunyao’s hands with a white cloth covering them, and blood was seeping out from them. She looked pained as she said, “My family has an ointment to treat burns. If you use it for a while longer, the scar will fade. When I return, I will pack it and have Yin Hong send it to you. At this moment, don’t think about anything at all. Naturally, there will be people who will uphold justice for you in the other matters.” 

Mu Yunyao lowered her head slightly as the light in her eyes dimmed. “I wasn’t able to find out who set the fire earlier, and because it was in the middle of the night, I’m afraid it’ll be hard to find a trace of it.” 

“Don’t worry. Even if we must dig three feet into the ground this time, we will find the preparator!” Lady Jin’s tone was specifically resolute. 

Mu Yunyao nodded and smiled gratefully to Lady Jin, “Thank you, Madam.” 

“Recuperate well. I’m still waiting to wear the clothes you made!” 

“Yes, for the sake of Madam, I need to heal my injuries as soon as possible.” 

“Rest well. I’ll come to see you another day.” Lady Jin stopped Mu Yunyao from getting up, and Su Qing sent her out. 

Lady Jin had a pained expression when walking out of the courtyard and sitting in the carriage. On the side, Yin Hong helped her place the cushion on the headrest. Seeing her look, she couldn’t help but say: “Madam has treated Miss Mu well.” 

Lady Jin gently stroked his stomach, sighing with emotion. “That’s also her worth.” 

Since the Cao family’s residence was the closest to Ni Yun Fang, Governor Zhang, Su Qingwu, and the officials had gathered there. Seeing that Lady Jin had returned, everyone’s eyes filled with anxiety. 

“Greetings, Lord Zhang. Greetings, Lord Su …” 

“Madam, there is no need to be so courteous. I am sorry for bothering you to come over early in the morning. How is Miss Mu doing?” Governor Zhang was the first to ask. 

Lady Jin’s expression was solemn. She shook her head before saying anything: “Such a delicate and weak little girl went through a big fire in the middle of the night, and she almost fell from the stairs. She was shocked and frightened that her life fell in half. The situation is really not good.” 

When Governor Zhang heard this, his expression became even more anxious. “I’ll have to trouble Lady Jin to make another trip and find the best doctor in Jingling City. I must ensure that Miss Mu is safe and sound!” 

“Yes. It’s just that Miss Mu’s hands are severely injured. Originally, her hands had already hurt, but she escaped with the cloth rope this time. So she can’t even use her hands anymore. Even if she invited the best doctor in Jingling City, I’m afraid that she would also …” Lady Jin did not finish, but everyone present understood the meaning of her words. 

Mu Yunyao was an embroidery expert. Embroidery was a hand skill, so once her finger was injured, how could she hold up needle and thread in the future? 

Governor Zhang was sweating anxiously, “Let’s try our best to cure her. We can do whatever we can do to get to the best.” 

Su Qingwu’s expression did not change, but the hand on his sleeve tightened, and the scene of Mu Yunyao falling from the top floor into his arms involuntarily appeared before his eyes. 

Her body was in a sorry state, her face was pale, and the crafty light in her eyes was exceptionally dim. When people looked at her, they couldn’t help but feel their heartache. 

“Lord Zhang, Lord Cao, I must report this matter to the Emperor. I hope the two lords can find out what happened as soon as possible.” 

Please rest assured, Lord Su. We will investigate this as soon as possible.” 

Just as he spoke, an official sent out to investigate rushed in to report, “Reporting to the Lords, we have found some clues. Someone from the Ding family’s shop bought the bronze lock that locked on Ni Yun Fang’s door.” 

“The Ding family?” Governor Zhang immediately stood up, with an indescribable light in his eyes, “Speaking of which, the only one who has had a conflict with Ni Yun Fang recently is the Ding family!” 

Su Qingwu asked: “A conflict with Ni Yun Fang? Who is this the Ding family?” 

Governor Zhang immediately explained what happened to the Ding family, and his tone faintly brought up the matters of Jingling Tongzhi and Xuan Fu. Even though he did not say it clearly, everyone present understood what he meant! 

Cao Yunnian did not say anything at the side. He and Jingling Tongzhi knew they had no interactions, but he had a deep grudge against Zhou Xuan Fu. Now that he was on the same side as Governor Zhang and Governor Zhang wanted to use this opportunity to eliminate the other, he did not take the opportunity to add insult to injury. 

Su Qingwu raised the teacup and took a sip. “Since Governor Zhang has a suspicious person, we should investigate the truth immediately. This way, we can give the Emperor an explanation.” 

Governor Zhang was overjoyed. Su Qingwu’s attitude was equivalent to a tacit agreement with his thoughts, “ I’ll investigate as soon as possible. Within three days, I will definitely give Lord Su a result.” 

After exiting the Main Hall, Lady Jin returned to the backyard, and the smile in her eyes became even fuller. 

“Madam, this servant heard that some clues had been found?” 

“Not only have we found some clues, but it looks like It’ll be able to conclude soon.” 

“Master acts swiftly and decisively. I am truly impressed!” 

“This time, it wasn’t Old Master’s contribution. It’s because of Lord Zhang’s guidance.” 

Lady Jin pursed her lips, her mood extremely good. Governor Zhang said he wanted to give Su Qingwu a result within three days. It also means that he must either investigate this matter clearly within three days and find out the real culprit, or else Jingling Tongzhi and Xuan Fu would be the result he wanted to give. Moreover, Governor Zhang was more inclined to the second method. Without Xuan Fu, Old Master’s heart would be at ease.
