~ THE HEAVENS WERE HELPING HER ~
After listening to Mu Yunyao’s words, some people in the crowd seemed deep in thought, while others still did not understand what was happening.
Mu Yunyao did not rush them but warned them to practice more when they had nothing to do. Afterward, she and Steward Qin went to the parlor in the front courtyard.
Steward Qin quickly instructed people to bring some nourishing herbs, such as bird nests, ginseng, etc. After Mu Yunyao thanked him, she told Jin Lan and Jin Qiao to keep them well.
“Today, other than welcoming Wei Yi, Yun Chun, and the others, I have something else that I would like to discuss with Steward Qin.”
“If Miss has something to say to me, please say.”
“The Fire burned down Ni Yun Fang, but with the contribution of teaching the embroidery needling technique, we can rebuild it anytime. But our teahouse has been prepared for so long, so it’s about time for it to open.”
“You are right, Miss. Can you come up with a name for the teahouse?”
“Not at the moment. I will think about it carefully for the next two days. I had ordered someone to make a signboard and send it over. I want to ask Steward Qin to remind Wei Yi, Yun Chun, and the others to train diligently. I can count on them to keep up appearances at that time!”
“Please be at ease, Miss. They have seen Miss Mu’s skills in brewing tea, so they know what to do. With Miss Mu’s appearance, they must have urged to learn something like that.”
“Alright. Then I’ll be troubling Steward Qin.”
“Miss Mu is too polite.”
In Western Guangdong, Yue Wang’s residence, The two letters from Mu Yunyao had been received successively. The light in Yue Wang’s eyes became increasingly cold, especially the second letter. Ni Yun Fang unexpectedly had an accident.
Yu Heng brought the box that was sent over along with the letter. “Master, this box was also sent over by Miss Mu.”
Yue Wang opened the box and saw what was inside, his eyebrows stretched slightly, and he discovered that there were actually 20.000 taels of silver in banknotes. To others, these 20,000 taels of silver might not even be enough to be considered. However, to Western Guangdong, these 20,000 taels of silver were more than enough to solve their desperate situation.
The Western Guangdong had always been bitter and cold. Because Imperial Father always hated him, the Ministry of Revenue’s attitude (House Ministry) towards Western Guangdong was even more uncaring and more perfunctory now. Now, they even dared to delay military expenditures. Yue Wang’s eyes flashed with ridicule, then he took out the silver and spread it on the table, “Yu Heng, if you say that I can’t even protect my own things, then what is the point of me being a Wang Ye? Send the message and use the people of the imperial court to help Mu Yunyao take control of Jingling City, and from now on, Ni Yun Fang is under my protection!”
“Yes, Master.” A cold breath came to his face, and Yu Heng couldn’t help but tremble, “This subordinate will immediately do it.”
Mu Yunyao did not know that Yue Wang was furious because of what happened to Ni Yun Fang as she was thinking about what name she should give the teahouse.
Su Qing brought the bird’s nest porridge over. Seeing that Yao’er was still thinking, she couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. “Don’t think about it anymore. The more you think about it, the more lost you are. Take a break. You will get it when the light flashes.” That’s how she named Ni Yun Fang back then.
Mu Yunyao casually threw the book aside, and she walked intimately to Su Qing’s side. She slightly moved her nose and said with a craving expression, “Mother’s culinary skills are great. This bird’s nest porridge is really delicious.”
“Your tongue is more powerful than that little dog’s nose. It will allow you to taste it if anything is wrong. You had forced Mother to the point where I had no choice but to improve my culinary skills. You must be very careful even when you open the lid for fear of losing your appetite as it is tainted by the smell of smoke and fire.”
“It’s still Mother who loves me the most. In this world, Mother is the best.” Mu Yunyao pounced on Su Qing and acted like a spoiled child. She had five keen senses, and as long as something was wrong with the taste, she could taste it, but she was never picky.
Even if she felt the taste was not good, she could still eat it safely. However, Su Qing did not want her to suffer any grievances, so she helped her in every possible way to make delicious meals. Not to mention, her mother’s culinary skills were improving during this time.
Su Qing smiled as Mu Yunyao finished the bird’s nest porridge bowl, then urged her to rest: “Don’t think about that God Child’s name. If you really can’t think of one, Mother will help you.”
“Alright, then I’ll go take a rest.” Mu Yunyao nodded obediently.
Satisfied, Su Qing watched her lying on the bed before going out and closing the door softly.
After waiting a while, Mu Yunyao picked up the book. She then sat by the window and continued to read.
Without making a sound, Liu Liang stood outside the window. Mu Yunyao inadvertently raised her head and met his cold eyes. She was shocked, causing her heart to shiver violently. “Liu Liang, are you going to scare people to death?”
A look of embarrassment flashed across Liu Liang’s eyes. “Mistress, I’m sorry....”
Mu Yunyao patted her chest: “I’m fine. I haven’t asked you yet, did your trip to Qin Huai go smoothly?”
“En,” Liu Liang’s eyes fell on Mu Yunyao’s hands again, “Misstress, are you injured?”
“ It’s alright. Just a small wound, and it’s almost healed.” If it weren’t for the fact that she moved her hands and feet a little to deal with Su Qingwu, the wounds on her hands would have stopped hurting long ago. “You just returned, go back, and rest for two days, so it won’t look like your master is unreasonable.”
Liu Liang glanced at Mu Yunyao once more. Under the gaze of those pairs of clear eyes, not a single word came out of his mouth. He could only dodge and leave the courtyard. Mu Yunyao blinked, opened the window, and looked around with her chin propped up. She could not help but let out a sigh: It was really convenient to know martial arts. She could follow Liu Liang to learn a few moves to defend herself. At least when she’s in danger, she can protect herself. Also, in a short time, Liu Liang seemed to be talking a little more.
Two days later, the Emperor’s approval had returned to Jingling City, and Lady Jin sent Yin Hong a letter inviting Mu Yunyao over.
In these past few days, Lady Jin had been busy walking around and had no time to come up and visit Mu Yunyao. Seeing that Mu Yunyao’s face has rosy complexions, she couldn’t help but feel a little happier in her heart. “How are the injuries on your body and hand?”
“Thank you for your concern, Madam. Everything is already well.” Mu Yunyao bowed as she replied, “I can see that Madam isn’t looking very well. Things have been chaotic the past few days, so you should pay more attention to it.”
The first three months were the most unstable. Seeing that Mu Yunyao was still so concerned about her, Lady Jin felt like her heart had pressed, and it was not in vain for her to walk all over Mu Yunyao. “This has been bad for the past two days, and I will be fine after a while. I called you today mainly because of the matters in Ni Yun Fang. The Emperor was furious because of what happened in Jingling City. He ordered Jingling Tongzhi and Xuanfu to be escorted to the Capital immediately for interrogation. Do you have anything that you want to request?”
Mu Yunyao was stunned. She raised her head and looked at Lady Jin in disbelief: “Madam, are your words the same as what I was thinking?”
Lady Jin smiled brightly on her face and nodded slightly to confirm her guess: “The Emperor was also annoyed by those officials, so that’s why he said that. But the one who benefits is still you. You just have to grasp the timing well.”
Mu Yunyao immediately nodded her head as a smile bloomed in her heart. It is great! Even the heavens were helping her!
“Madam, I have already thought about it.”
“This is not a joke. You have to think about it carefully.” The Emperor had promised to allow Mu Yunyao to request it for him. If it exceeded the limit, although it was words of gold and jade, the Emperor agreed to it now, and then the wrath of the Emperor would cause one’s bones to remain. Mu Yunyao made up her mind very quickly, causing Lady Jin to be unsure of what to do.
