Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 383

~ PROSPEROUS PREPARATION ~ 

In the Capital, the news of the Eldest Madam’s purchase of the murderer made the people boil with excitement. It was a pity that there was no conclusive evidence, so it was impossible to be convicted because of the thief’s confession, which made many people wring their wrists. The news of the opening of Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo also spread throughout the City. Who knew how many people are looking forward to it.

Knowing that the Eldest Madam wouldn’t be questioned this time, Mu Yunyao didn’t continue to pay attention to her and focused all of her energy on Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo.

In the East Courtyard, Eldest Madam watched Su Yuyi finished her medicine and waved her maid away. “Yuyi, how’s the training for the girl that your big brother found before?”

Su Yuyi looked extremely impatient. “Mother, look at me. I am in pain now. Where can I still have the heart to teach her?”

The Eldest Madam creased her eyebrows. “I know you’re feeling uncomfortable right now, but your reputation is more important. Time has been delayed long enough. The person I sent to investigate the Moon Palace Fairy couldn’t find any trace of her. Thus, we can only to figure it out ourselves.”

“Is it important to think of a way or not? Right now, Mu Yunyao is in the limelight.Where would anyone pay attention to me?”

“Yuyi, how can you think like that? If this matter is not resolved clearly, people will bring up this matter every time during Mid-Autumn Festival in the future. No matter what identity you become in the future, this matter will accompany you for the rest of your life. Do you want to be like this forever?”

Su Yu Yi bit her lips and reluctantly nodded: “I’ve already taught that girl for two days. It’s more or less done. I just need to correct some details.”

“Then, you should properly teach her in these two days. In another two days, I will arrange for her to appear and completely sever your relationship with that Moon Palace Fairy.”

Su Yuyi raised her head to look at the tired Eldest Madam, with hesitation in her eyes: “Mother, I heard from a servant that right now, everyone in the Capital is spreading bad news about you. They even said that our Su family has taken a fancy to Mu Yunyao’s property. We recognize her as her relatives not to take her back, but we want to murder her for silver...”

“Don’t listen to their nonsense!” The Eldest Madam coldly snorted. Seeing Su Yuyi’s unsightly face, she slightly eased her tone and said, “Yuyi, I will take care of this matter. You don’t have to worry. Rumors have always been about catching the wind and the shadows.but when it comes to things that have never been seen, it seems very real.”

Su Yuyi nodded his head, “I also heard that Grandmother wants to help Mu Yunyao and Su You with their coming of age ceremony ....”

The Eldest Madam sat on the bedside and spoke sincerely, “Yuyi, I know that you are very proud and do not like Mu Yunyao. However, the situation now is that she is stronger than us. Thus, we can’t offend her and can only retreat for the time being. It’s just a coming age banquet. When you fly to the branches in the future, what kind of banquet can’t you do?”

“Mother, if I don’t get rid of Mu Yunyao, I won’t have another chance to get ahead again. I’ve been having nightmares these past few days. In my dreams, I’ve been repeatedly killed by Mu Yunyao, and she was the one who specifically killed me. Since she came to the Su family residence, our Su family has got bad luck another after another. Nothing is going well, and I …. I’m afraid that Idon’t have the slightest reputation in the Capital now.”

The Eldest Madam clenched her teeth. “Don’t worry, Mu Yunyao won’t be complacent for too long. Mother will definitely help you get rid of her, even if I don’t do anything, your grandmother will....”

Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo had almost fully renovated, but Mu Yunyao had become exceptionally busy right now. Some of the landscapes in Bu Xian Luo are not well repaired, so needed to be rearranged and reorganized. There were also quite a few areas that needed to be revised in order to make Niyun booklets available at Ni Yun Fang.

Previously in Jingling City, the models in the Niyun booklet were mostly based on the madams of the different residences. If there are references, they could be simplified in a useful way. However, it could not be done in the Capital. After all, there were many noble people here, and they made taboos if they are inappropriate. Therefore, the beauty portrait on Niyun’s booklet needs to be drawn out of thin air, and some clothing details also needed to be matched with the style of the Capital.

Fortunately, all the six apprentices that Mu Yunyao taught before followed over. In addition, there are the embroidery ladies who had been selected from various places. Although they were a little flustered, the results were rather impressive. However, because there are too many Niyun booklets to make, Mu Yunyao can’t do it herself. Thus, she can only make a few copies and put them in Bu Xoan Luo for the ladies who come to buy clothes to look through.

Mu Yunyao was flipping through a newly embroidered Niyun booklet. The apprentices and embroidery ladies at the side looked at her nervously, but seeing that she didn’t nod her head after a long time, their hearts involuntarily rose to their throats. “Miss, are there any needs to be modified in the booklet?”

Mu Yunyao raised her head and looked at their nervous expressions. She couldn’t help but laugh. “Not bad. I can’t find anything that needs to be modified.”

Everyone immediately cheered, and their faces were full of joy. They had already started creating this Niyun booklet a long time ago, and after revising it a few times, they were finally able to satisfy the young miss.

Mu Yunyao also laughed along. “It’s been hard on you all these days. In a while, everyone will go collect fifty taels of silver. In the next few days, it’ll be even more difficult. Let’s work together to make niyun workshop prosperous. I will definitely not treat you poorly.”

“Yes, please rest assured, Miss. We will do our best.”

“Hmm, how are the preparations for Cai Yi and the others?”

“They were practicing in the backyard. We secretly sneaked a peek, and it really deserves to be taught by the young miss herself. She’s so beautiful that it’s hard for people look away.”

“After hearing what you have to say, Im sure that this opening must be prosperous, and we will make a name for ourselves.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Yu Heng, who was in Yu Wang’s residence, reported on the movement in Ni Yun Fang. “Master, Miss Mu has had a lot of things prepared for Ni Yun Fang. Should we also prepare Bu Xian Luo?”

Yue Wang put down his brush and looked up at him. “Do you know how to prepare?”

“Subordinate… This subordinate is just a rough people, so how would I know to do that?”

“Since you don’t understand, then just quietly stand to the side. Don’t disturb me here.”

Yu Heng was still somewhat unwilling to give up. “Master, you’ve been writing for half a day. Have you been thinking of a way to make Bu Xian Luo go famous when it’s open for business?”

Yue Wang raised his head and looked at Yu Heng, his eyes filled with coldness.

Yu Heng couldn’t help but shrink his head back and turn around to see Eunuch Cheng coming in with tea. He couldn’t help but brighten his eyes as he gave him a meaningful glance.

Eunuch Cheng snorted coldly. This Yu Heng is really elm-headed. Didn’t he see that Wang Ye didn’t want to be disturbed? But, he was still noisy here, “Wang Ye, take a break and have a cup of tea. Please, have a taste of this old servant’s skills in brewing tea. This tea is the best batch Old Qin has picked for us. It is said that it has the effect of concentrating and calming our breathing. This old servant also heard that Miss Mu has been busy preparing for the opening of Ni Yun Fang for the past two days. She has been busy for quite some time already, so why don’t you personally send some tea leaves over to her?”

Yue Wang stopped writing and remembered to dry the ink on the letter before carefully putting it into the envelope.

When Yu Heng looked at the letterhead, his eyes couldn’t help but widen. It was as if he was surprised to the core, “Master, why is this envelope so fancy?”

  2. I just want you all to know...

    During the reading of this chapter, I had an intense craving for the Now and Later candies. Their satisfying, fruity flavor would have made this chapter so much better.
