Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 232

~ STEWARD QIN IS A GOOD SERVANT ~ 

Hearing Su Qing’s instructions, Mu Yunyao couldn’t explain the reason behind it, so she could only nod and agree. “I understand, Mother.”

After talking for a while, the already prepared Eight Treasures Rice had become much colder. Si Qin was about to heat it up before bringing it over, but Su Qing called out her to stop and added a spoonful of sugar into Mu Yunyao’s bowl before giving it to her directly.

Mu Yunyao was considering the purpose of Yue Wang’s actions. Earlier, she wanted to settle all the accounts with him, but now that he directly said goodbye to her mother and made her agree to take care of Jin Xiu Garden. Afterward, he left immediately and neatly. In this way, who should she find to settle the accounts in her hands? It was clearly cheating!

She focused on her thoughts when she heard Su Qing remind her to eat. She directly started to eat from the bowl in front of her, and after taking two bites, she suddenly frowned. The Eight Treasures Rice in her bowl had turned cold and sweetened with sugar. “Mother?”

When she ate the first bite, Su Qing’s heart couldn’t help but sink. Yao’er usually didn’t like eating Eight Treasures Rice with sugar the most, and she also had a keen sense of taste. If she added a spoonful of sugar, it would be too sweet for her. But now, she didn’t notice the abnormality when she ate two spoonfuls of sugar. It was notable that she had lost his soul because of Young Master Ning’s departure.

“What’s the matter?”

“The Eight Treasures Rice in my bowl is so sweet?” Mother always knew that she didn’t like eating sweet things, so why did she add sugar to the bowl?

Su Qing was suddenly enlightened. “I’m too busy right now. The bowl with sugar is mine. Just wait a bit. The Eight Treasures Rice is a little cold too. Let Si Qin heat it up before eating it.”

Mu Yunyao didn’t think much about it and waited for Si Qin to bring the food up again. After she finished eating, she returned to her room.

Su Qing was worried. Although she already knew that Young Master Ning was not married, he was still much older than Yao’er. Even though she comforted herself that Yunyao would love someone when she was older. But who knows the family background of Young Master Ning? To this age has not married, is there any hidden disease?

“Sigh …” Su Qing couldn’t help but sigh. “I really feel so worried …” Earlier, when Yao’er had returned that cloak, she should have been on guard. However, Mu Yunyao’s expression had been too ordinary. Later, she had sent people to return it to Fourth Master Ning, but he didn’t show the slightest bit of surprise either, so she let it go with ease. Now that she thought about it, perhaps even earlier than that, Yunyao already had some thoughts in her mind.

Mu Yunyao didn’t stay in the room for long before hearing from Jin Lan that Steward Qin asked to see her. After she tidied up her clothes, she invited him to a side hall.

“Greetings, Miss Mu.” Steward Qin still had a warm smile on his face. His attitude was very close, and there was not the slightest difference from before.

“There is no need for you to be so courteous, Steward Qin. May I know why you have come this time?”

Steward Qin took out a stack of account books and placed them beside Mu Yunyao. “Miss Mu, Master left in a hurry and didn’t have the time to bring these books over to you.”

Mu Yunyao frowned and waved her hand for Jin Lan and the others to withdraw, “Steward Qin, Fourth Master trusts you. At this time, you have taken great care of me, so I will not hide some things from you. The real purpose I gave these books of account to Fourth Master to exchange my share of the profits in Bu Xian Luo for Fourth Master’s share of the profits in Ni Yun Fang. In this way, Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo can split up. In the future, we can develop our own businesses independently and not get in the way of each other.”

Steward Qin revealed a surprised expression, “Miss, did someone make you angry? Is that why you said such angry words?”

“No...” Mu Yunyao shook her head. The person who had really provoked her was Yue Wang, but she didn’t want to talk to Steward Qin about the specific details of what had happened.

Steward Qin heaved a sigh of relief, “Without Miss Mu’s words, there would be no such thing as Bu Xian Luo today. Although Master has taken sixty percent of the profits, the golden signboard and the skills needed to make tea for the guests were all taught by Miss Mu. Yes, it was Master who took a big advantage. Master had talked about this before, saying that he wanted to thank Miss Mu well.”

Mu Yunyao slightly lowered her gaze, her long and delicate eyelashes quivering. She could tolerate the suspicion and probe from Yue Wang, but she couldn’t forgive him for his intentions of investigating her mother. No matter if his intentions were good or bad, she couldn’t afford the risk …,

Steward Qin continued, “This old servant has been with Master for a long time. To say something unruly, it could be said that he watched him grew up little by little. Master is older than Miss Mu but isn’t great as you when dealing with people. He had been assigned in Western Guangdong for so many years. Apart from his soldiers and generals, he had spent his days there with the wind and snow every day. Therefore, there was a hint of coldness in his bones. Also, his words and actions carried the aura of a battlefield or straight to the front. Master is suffering a great deal, but even if he had hurt to the extreme, he would only make things difficult for himself …”

As Steward Qin said this, he could not help but feel sorrowful. He raised his hand to wipe his tears, “Miss Mu only knows Master’s identity, but she doesn’t know how he came over so many years. When the Empress was carrying Master, and she looked about to given birth. Suddenly, something happened in the Palace, and the Emperor locked the Empress into the Cold Palace. Master also was born in the Cold Palace. If you are favored, you can easily pick the stars in the sky off when you want them. However, if you aren’t, your days would not even be comparable to those of ordinary people.”

Mu Yunyao spoke and interrupted Steward Qin, “These are Fourth Master’s family matters …”

“Look at me, when I think of the past, I can’t stop talking. I hope Miss Mu can forgive me. Those things have already been a long time. If you don’t want to talk about it, let’s talk to Miss Mu about Master’s life in Western Guangdong!” Steward Qin then wiped away his tears, “I don’t know if it’s because Master grew up in the Cold Palace since he was young, but Master’s personality was expressly cold. But his heart was good, and he didn’t have any ill intentions towards Miss Mu. Master just wasn’t good at expressing himself. No matter how much he thought, he couldn’t explain it. As such, it is always misunderstood. Being misunderstood and not knowing how to explain it, he kept on criticizing himself. With Miss Mu’s intelligence, she should have been able to understand what was going on …”

When Mu Yunyao heard this, she couldn’t help but think of the injury on Yue Wang’s back. That arrow wound is close to the heart, and it is such deep, so it will take at least two months to recover completely. Now that he’s back to Western Guangdong with that injury, I wonder if his injury will worsen along the way?

“Miss Mu, this old man may be a servant, but I can’t help to overstepping the rules. Miss Mu suddenly brought these books to Master and wanted completely separated Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo. It must be that Master has done something to make you unhappy. I can’t guarantee anything else, but I can absolutely guarantee that the Master doesn’t have the slightest malice towards Miss Mu.”

Mu Yunyao put her finger on the account books and smiled slightly: “Steward Qin is too worried. How dare I get angry with the Fourth Master? I merely feel that everything in Bu Xian Luo on the right track now. I occupy 40% of the profit, but I can’t help much felt sorry. ”

Steward Qin quickly wiped his tears and said with a smile, “The development of our Bu Xian Luo depends entirely on Miss Mu’s wisdom, and there are many things that require Miss Mu to make decisions.” After speaking, he handed the other two account books to Mu Yunyao directly.

“Miss, look, this is the account book that Huai’an City and Yangzhou City have sent over. Since the opening of this project more than a month ago, the business has been flourishing, but it has also attracted people’s attention. They have no way to buy fresh leaves in Bu Xian Lou. So they have no choice but to take advantage of the season to buy fresh leaves and raise the price of it, which has a tremendous impact on us.”
