Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 102

~ NI YUN FANG IS ON FIRE ~ 

“Madam went out to buy silk today, and when she returned, a child suddenly rushed to the front of the carriage and threw a piece of a firecracker at the horse.”

“A child?”

“Yes, this servant went up to ask. He was just one of the children of an ordinary farmer. The child’s parents rushed forward and kowtowed to admit their wrongs, so Madam didn’t care anymore.”

Mu Yunyao’s forehead twitched. Not to mention why this child suddenly rushed in front of the carriage just because he had exploded the firecracker was worthy of suspicion. Even though Jiangnan was rich, ordinary people would not play firecrackers for their children when it was not New Year.

Seeing that she was still worried, Su Qing comforted her, “It’s fine. Mother just accidentally twisted her leg a little.”

Mu Yunyao quickly squatted down and examined Su Qing’s ankles. It was just that they were slightly swollen and red. She couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief. “Mother, try your best not to go out these two days. I’m afraid this matter isn’t as simple as it sounds.”

“Alright.”

Since Liu Liang wasn’t around and she didn’t trust Si Qin and the rest, Mu Yunyao kept this matter in her heart for the time being. She repeatedly warned everyone in Ni Yun Fang to be extra careful.

She suddenly woke up at night and smelled a burning smell. As she put on her clothes, she called for Jin Lan and the others. When she arrived downstairs, she could already see the light of the fire.

Mu Yunyao had warned Jin Lan and the others so they could still hold on. Then, they took out a water basin and quickly extinguished the flames. There wasn’t much of a fire. She only lit the curtain and made the walls black.

Mu Yunyao’s brows were tightly furrowed, and cold intent filled her heart. These two days, she had been extra careful and reminded Jin Lan and others to place some flammable fabrics and threads in their room. She carefully put them away because she feared someone could not control themselves and set Ni Yun Fang on fire.

Jin Lan and the others didn’t dare to make a sound. Su Qing was the one who stopped Mu Yunyao’s train of thought as she descended the stairs. “Mother, there’s nothing wrong with this small matter. Why have you come downstairs?”

Su Qing looked at the burned curtain and the water stains on the ground, and she couldn’t help but cover her chest. “Yao’er, those people’s methods are too vicious.”

“Mother, don’t worry. In two days, I will have them return one by one!” Mu Yunyao’s voice was clear and cold. She had unfathomable black eyes that could absorb all the light around her.

Hearing Mu Yunyao’s words, Su Qing couldn’t help but worry, “Yao’er, don’t be too impulsive. Fortunately, the fire wasn’t big.”

“Don’t worry, Mother. I know what I’m doing.”

When Lady Jin heard about what had happened at Ni Yun Fang, she made a trip here. “Yunyao, is there anything major?”

Mu Yunyao hurriedly came over to greet her. “Greetings to Madam. I’ve made you worried. Since I found the fire in time, it’s only burnt a little curtain and tidied it up a little.”

Lady Jin frowned. “Where’s your mother? Is her injury serious?”

“It’s just a foot twist, so it’s fine.” As Mu Yunyao spoke, she led Lady Jin to sit and let Jin Lan prepare some fruit tea. “Madam is pregnant. Let’s drink some fruit tea.”

Lady Jin could not help but loosen her expression. “Seeing that you can hold it so steadily, I am relieved. In other words, these two days will be better.”

Mu Yunyao nodded: “I only think of Madam’s words, so I am this calm.” She was not someone who suffered a loss. Those people had injured Su Qing, so she naturally had to pay them back. However, she could not say these words to Lady Jin.

“I will send more people to guard the area for two days. You also need to be more vigilant.” The people she sent didn’t see anyone suspicious approaching Ni Yun Fang, and they couldn’t find evidence, so everything was in vain.

“Thank you, Madam.”

After sending Lady Jin away, Mu Yunyao leaned on the chair and thought about it. After thinking for a while, she suddenly got up, returned upstairs, and picked up the pen and paper to write to Yue Wang.

There is a 30% share of Yue Wang in Ni Yun Fang. Nowadays, there are frequent incidents in Ni Yun Fang, and someone nearly burned them. Naturally, she had to tell Yue Wang about this. Other than that, she should also send some silver taels over. When Yue Wang saw gold and silver, he needed to pay more attention to them.

Western Guangdong was very cold and bitter. Mu Yunyao heard that Yue Wang didn’t even have enough military pay. This time, she would only send more silver taels and slowly find some to compensate.

Steward Qin was slightly surprised to see Mu Yunyao. At this moment, her face filled with fatigue, and there was even a hint of paleness on it, “Steward Qin, I have a letter and some things that I want to give to the Fourth Master. Are you sure it’s convenient?”

“Of course, it’s convenient. Miss Mu, what’s the matter?”

Mu Yunyao smiled bitterly. “There is nothing wrong. It’s just that so many things have happened in Ni Yun Fang recently. Last night, someone tried to set a fire in Ni Yun Fang. Fortunately, they found it quickly, which didn’t cause much damage.”

“There’s such a thing?” Steward Qin’s eyes turned cold. Regardless of whether Mu Yunyao and Wang Ye could get together or not in the future, right now, she is helping to prepare a tea house so that Wang Ye can openly plant spies in Jiangnan. He couldn’t just watch her get bullied like this, “Miss Mu, don’t worry. I will make people search and find out immediately for information and notify Miss Mu as soon as possible.”

Mu Yunyao sighed in relief, “Many thanks, Steward Qin.”

The following two days were calm and peaceful, causing Su Qing’s heart to feel relaxed. On the early morning of the third day, Lady Jin summoned Mu Yunyao into the Cao family’s residence. “Yunyao, we have obtained the exact information. Today, the Emperor will bestow us the reward, and Governor Zhang has met the envoy with the officials. We will wait here while my husband goes to the Governor’s office. You will clean up again so as not to be rude.”

Mu Yunyao knew that Lady Jin was kind-hearted. She tidied up her makeup several times in the mirror when a red tinge appeared on her face, but there wasn’t much of a ripple in her heart.

She had worked hard for this day for a long time, and now that she got what she wanted, she only felt it was natural.

Outside the city, a hundred people escorted two carts of items quickly into the city.

The officials had been guarding the city gates for a long time. The streets had locked down, and the civilians had no movement.

Governor Zhang was standing before the officials and hurriedly stepped forward when he saw the group stop walking in. “Lord Su, you’ve worked hard all the way.” 

“Greetings, Lord Zhang. This humble one owes His Majesty the grace of the heavens. I have the pleasure of escorting His Majesty’s reward.” A young man in light armor dismounted from his horse and bowed to Governor Zhang. His face was as fair as jade, and his figure was tall and straight. His phoenix eyes were as bright as the stars. He was like a beautiful tree, outstanding and extraordinary.

Cao Yunnian, who also stood in the officials’ rank, looked at the young man and secretly sighed in his heart, as expected of someone raised by the Su family. At the age of twenty, he was promoted to first-level guard and given a great mission by the Emperor. He dared to ask the Emperor to come here, and it seemed like he had already been on the official path (aka officialdom).

It’s been ten years since he climbed up, but he had only recently reached the fourth rank. As expected, this person really can’t be compared to him. Governor Zhang led the young man to escort the reward to the Governor’s residence. The other officials at the side smiled politely, but they couldn’t stop glancing at the two carriages.
