~ MU CHENG’S CAUSE OF DEATH ~
Steward Qin opened his mouth and said, “Without Miss’s permission, I took the initiative to investigate the cause of death of Miss Mu’s father. Please forgive me. Your father didn’t fall overboard and die. He was killed secretly by the people who did business with him. And the person who killed your father was assassinated after he left the Capital, and no one in his family was spared. Because the time gap is too far apart, and the matter did not leave much of a clue, so at the moment, we are unable to find out who did it.”
Mu Yunyao held the paper, her eyes filled with endless coldness. “Thank you for your trouble, Steward Qin.”
“There’s another thing. There’s news from the Capital. The Su family had already received news about Madam and Miss Mu and had sent people to Xiayan Village to investigate Miss’s identity. With the ability of the Su family, it would not be long before they found out that Miss was in Jingling City, and they would send people to acknowledge her relatives.”
Mu Yunyao memorized the contents of the paper and then dissolved it into a cup of tea. “Since Steward Qin mentioned the Su family, then I also have something to tell you. If the Su family comes to fetch Mother and me, I’m afraid that I wouldn’t be able to help Bu Xian Luo.”Seeing that Mu Yunyao heard the news about the Su Family and was not the least bit surprised, Steward Qin thought for a bit, then he smiles with full of trust, “Previously Madam said that the distance between the Capital and Jingling City isn’t too far. If you take the water route, you can reach it in a few short days, and it’s very convenient to send letters, so Miss Mu doesn’t need to leave Bu Xian Luo.”
“Steward Qin, people don’t speak in secret. Earlier, I wanted to return Bu Xian Luo completely to Yue Wang.”
“This... Miss, I am just a servant, so I don’t know what Wang Ye is planning to do with Bu Xian Luu. About this matter, you still need to discuss it with Your Highness personally!”
Even though Mu Yunyao knew that Steward Qin was saying this in order to act shamelessly, when she saw the smile on his face and thought about how he had taken care of her and her mother all this time, she still couldn’t wholly harden her heart, “Steward Qin, you all understand that controlling Bu Xian Luo alone is more beneficial to Wang Ye than harm. Now that I have gotten involved with the Su Family, is Your Highness not afraid of me going against him?”
“This... This old servant has always been stupid, and I don’t understand how many of these things are at stake. If you have anything to say, you should discuss it with Wang Ye, but this old servant believes in Miss Mu that you have always been kind-hearted.”
Steward Qin is going to pretend to be stupid. He clearly knew what kind of person Miss Mu was after spending so much time together. As long as he did not endanger Madam Su and her safety, she was definitely not the type of person who would secretly stab someone in the dark. Otherwise, Wang Ye would not have let Miss Mu know many secrets in Bu Xian Luo.
Mu Yunyao was unable to do anything and could only temporarily put aside the matter regarding Bu Xian Luo.
Steward Qin took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and respectfully passed it to Mu Yunyao. “There’s one more thing that I wish to trouble Miss.”
Mu Yunyao opened the slip of paper and saw many properties and names clearly written on it. “Steward Qin, what is the meaning of this?”
“These properties and workforces were all things that Wang Ye had left in the Capital at the beginning. For many years, these people have been living alone and had no one to take care of them in the Capital. When Miss Mu returned to the Su family’s residence in the Capital, I hope Miss Mu can find some time to meet these people and help them. Of course, if Miss Mu has anything to do, you can rest assured that they will do as you ask.”
Mu Yunyao was stunned, and then she felt warmth in her heart. She could not help sighing. She had made up her mind to break off the involvement with Yue Wang. If she continued to accept his kindness, She’s afraid he would sink even deeper into the abyss: “You’re not bothering me. It’s obvious that you’re afraid of the people who will come after me in the Capital and afraid that I’m not familiar with my life, so you give me a ready-made helper, but please forgive me for not accepting …”
Steward Qin smiled and said, “Miss, don’t be in such a rush to refuse. I know you are intelligent and have your own plans, but it is always good to have one more path. Please remember the people above carefully. If you can’t use them, then you only need to pretend they don’t exist. What if you use them in case? Besides, one’s ability would eventually there’s a limit. If you want to protect your mother, you have to have more cards up your sleeves.”
Mu Yunyao’s fingers tightened slightly. When it involved Su Qing, she couldn’t help but think further. Steward Qin said something that reasonable. A person doesn’t have three heads and six arms, and there would always be omissions. If someone had an opportunity, she wouldn’t be able to afford to gamble In this way. “In that case, thank you very much, Steward Qin.”
The smile on Steward Qin’s face instantly brightened: “No need to be so polite, Miss. I will take my leave first.”
Mu Yunyao sent Steward Qin to the door and instructed Jin Lan, who was standing by the side of the door, “Jin Lan, send Steward Qin off.”
Jin Lan hurriedly replied, “Yes, Miss.”
Returning to her seat, Mu Yunyao looked at the property and name written on the table and couldn’t help but take a breath: “I’ll have to find a way to make up for the debt I owe today.” However, if things went on like this, she would have to deal with Yue Wang more often. The deeper their relationship was, the more difficult it would be to break it off …,
Su Qing takes Si Qin and others to come in. Some time ago, she invited Mama (old main) to teach the rule. Not only Jin Lan, Jin Qiao, and the others had learned the rules, but also Su Qing was busy asking for advice. After Mu Yunyao knew about it, she did not stop her. Instead, she took the initiative to tell her about the Su family’s character and their connection in the Capital.
Even though half a month wasn’t a long time, Su Qing’s demeanor and manner had changed to be extraordinarily elegant.
“Yao’er, I saw shopkeeper Qin come just now. What’s the matter?”
Mu Yunyao thought for a moment. She didn’t plan to tell Su Qing about the odd cause of her father’s death right now. “He just came to ask about the future arrangements of Bu Xian Luo. It’s not that big of a deal.” This matter hadn’t been investigated thoroughly. It would only make her mother sad and wouldn’t be of any help to me.
“That’s good.”
As time passed day by day, Su Qing’s heart became more and more anxious. She even had the feeling that both sides were fighting together. Mu Yunyao didn’t know how to comfort her with words when she saw this. After all, even she couldn’t help but feel anxious.
On July 15th, when Mu Yunyao had just gotten up, she felt her heart beating fiercely. She couldn’t help but hold her chest. After drink water twice, but was still unable to suppress the panic in her heart.
When Jin Lan saw her pale face, she rushed forward to support her. “Miss, what’s the matter with you? What’s wrong?”
Mu Yunyao shook her head. “Go tell Mother that she’s not going to Ni Yun Fang today. Just stay at home!” Vaguely, she had a strong hunch that the Su family would send someone over today.
After Su Qing heard her words, he hurriedly came over to accompany Mu Yunyao.
The two finished their breakfast in silence, then sat down quietly. When the sun was about to set, Liu Liang appeared at the door. He knelt down and greeted: “Reporting to Madam and Miss, someone at the door requests an audience. He claims to be from the Su family in the Capital,”
It’s finally here!
