Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 230

~ SPLIT THE RELATIONSHIP ~ 

“Miss Mu is here?” Steward Qin was so happy. “Wang Ye, I want to welcome Miss Mu. You must have thought it through and decided to let her know. You must talk to her well, and don’t leave any grudges in Miss Mu’s heart.”

Joy was written all over Yue Wang’s face. He subconsciously adjusted his clothes before asking Yu Heng to invite her in.

Mu Yunyao entered the door and respectfully saluted Yue Wang. “Greetings to Your Highness Yue Wang.”

Hearing her address him, the light in his heart dimmed, but his expression did not change at all. “No need to be so courteous.”

Mu Yunyao placed the book in her hand on the table and then looked apologetically at Steward Qin, “I have some matters that I wish to discuss with His Highness Yue Wang in private. Is it possible to ask Steward Qin to leave temporarily?”

Steward Qin quickly smiled and said: “Then this old servant will go down to prepare some refreshments for Your Highness and Miss Mu.”

Yue Wang’s gaze fell onto the pile of books. From the looks of it, it was probably an account book.

Mu Yunyao pushed the account book towards Yue Wang and said, “Your Highness, these are the accounts of Ni Yun Fang in the past few months. I have sorted them out, and I have already calculated the profits that should have distributed to you. Here are the banknotes.”

“You don’t have to calculate it so clearly …”

“The calculations that should be transparent naturally would be better if it was clear.” Mu Yunyao wore a smile on her face, which was full of estrangement. “Wang Ye, the profits of Ni Yun Fang totally different from Bu Xian Luo, and you can’t compare it. Therefore, I wish to make a deal with you.”

The expression in Yue Wang’s heart turned dark: “What deal?”

“You have already taken 30% of the profits from Ni Yun Fang, and I have taken 40% of the profit from Bu Xian Luo. In fact, I didn’t help much in the serious calculation. It’s really not good to take so many profits shamelessly, so I want to exchange the profits in Bu Xian Luo for the profits of Ni Yun Fang in your hands.”

Yue Wang frowned suddenly. The light in his eyes became cold, as though the ice and snow were falling. “You want to cut off all ties with me?”

Mu Yunyao’s heart slightly tightened, but her smile became even more radiant. “I just feel like I’ve taken so much profit, causing you to be at a disadvantage.”

“What if I disagree?”

“Wang Ye wanted to develop Western Guangdong while meddling in Jiangnan. The silver that you spent should not be small. If you return the 40% profit from Ni Yun Fang, you will have many silver taels in your hands. Why hold on to this small Ni Yun Fang so tightly? Ni Yun Fang also has a golden signboard from the Emperor, but in the end, it’s just a place for selling clothes. There’s no opening up at present, and the amount of silver you earn is limited. If Wang Ye still feel that you’re at a disadvantage, I can compensate you with Yi Bao Xuan. Back then, when I was preparing Yi Bao Xuan, I was greatly helped by the people of Wang Ye, and now I can easily negotiate with them without much trouble.”

Yue Wang’s heart sank. “What if I don’t agree?”

“If you have any conditions, you can propose them. As long as I can fulfill them, I will do my best.” Mu Yunyao continued to smile, and the smile on her charming face was like honey as it emitted a sweet and fragrant scent. However, in the eyes of Yue Wang, he was only able to taste an endless bitterness.

“Yunyao, are you blaming me for investigating you?”

“Wang Ye, you’re overthinking it. I didn’t mean it that way.”

“If you don’t blame me, why would you suddenly terminate cooperation with me?”

“Mother and I are preparing to leave Jingling City.”

Yue Wang was stunned: “Leave?”

“Didn’t Fourth Master Ning also find some information? Your investigation is correct. My mother was indeed a lost daughter of the Su family many years ago. The old Madam of the Su family is my grandmother and the official’s secretary, Su Wenyuan, was my uncle. Sooner or later, the Su family will find out where my mother and I are and bring us back, so I decided to take my mother back to Xiayan village and wait.“

“Even if you want to return to the Su family, it wouldn’t prevent us from continuing our cooperation ...”

“Your Highness, have you thought this through? Even though I only call Su Wenyuan uncle, I also bear the label of the Su family. If you continue to cooperate with me, there will be endless hidden dangers. Why not separate Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Lou clearly, so you and I are happy and peaceful.”

“What you said makes a lot of sense, but I don’t agree.”

Hearing Yue Wang’s reply, Mu Yunyao abruptly raised her head, her eyes filled with confusion. “Why? Could it be that Wang Ye still felt that he had suffered a loss? Then, half of the 10 million taels of silver that I got from blackmailing the salt merchant will be given to Wang Ye. How about this?”

Yue Wang stared at Mu Yunyao, his eyes half angry and half helpless. “Am I such a greedy person in your heart?”

Mu Yunyao’s smile became colder, “Then what does Your Highness want?”

Yue Wang pondered for a moment, then said: “Yunyao, I found out that there is something strange about your father’s death, and I don’t know what the specific person did, but judging from your attitude towards the Su family, it seems like you don’t want to get close to them, so, I have a bold guess, did the Su family harm your father?”

Mu Yunyao suddenly raised her head. She had suspected before that her father’s death wasn’t an accident, but her ability was limited. She couldn’t investigate it in detail, so she could only suppress her doubts in her heart and wait for an opportunity to confirm one. She didn’t expect that Yue Wang would find something fishy, “I don’t dare to be sure.”

“I’ll ask someone to continue investigating this matter. If you find any information, I’ll let you know as soon as possible.”

“Wang Ye, why are you wasting your time on me?” Mu Yunyao suddenly came back to her senses. “The silver in your hands is enough now to build up any power. Why are you holding me so heavily?

Yue Wang was silent for a moment, then said: “Go back first, wait for me to think about it carefully, and at the same time, take a look at the account book. How about it?”

“Alright, then I’ll take my leave.”

After Mu Yunyao left, Steward Qin walked in with a worried expression: “Your Highness, looking at Miss Mu’s expression, she is here not to make peace, is she?”

Yue Wang nodded his head: “Uncle Qin, quickly gets people to investigate the cause of Yunyao’s father’s death as soon as possible. Also, think of a way to interrogate Madam Su’s adoptive parents to see if they know anything, and use gentle methods. After all, they raised Madam Su before.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Steward Qin nodded his head in agreement, “But where is Miss Mu …”

“Uncle Qin, my back injury is almost healed. Please help me to clean it up. I will head back to Western Guangdong later.”

Steward Qin stunned: “The wounds on your body?”

“It’s fine. Before I leave, I want to bid farewell to Madam Su. After I say my goodbyes, I’ll leave immediately. After I leave, you can send these account books over to Yunyao.” Today, Yunyao was full of precautions against him, and anything he said would not enter her ears, so he could only calm down first. He also had to think of a way properly to get close to her. When they met again, he had to make her unreservedly believe in him!

Steward Qin nodded his head, “Then I will go and prepare the present now.”

When Mu Yunyao returned home, Su Qing had just returned from Ni Yun Fang. “Mother.”

Su Qing held her hand and asked, “What’s wrong?” “Nothing, I just want to eat the Eight Treasures Rice that Mother made personally.” Mu Yunyao leaned on Su Qing’s shoulder. The light in her eyes dimmed slightly. She had finally made up her mind to cut off the relationship with Yue Wang. She didn’t heave a sigh of relief as she had imagined. Instead, she felt empty inside her heart.
