Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 184

~ NAMING ~ 

In the next few days, Su Qing went to the Cao family’s residence very frequently. The originally ugly child quickly grew up, becoming white and tender, which was especially attractive. 

Cao Yunnian flipped through the books, wanting to find a great name, but the words he chose were too unfamiliar. Lady Jin looked at it and disagreed. Instead, she found Mu Yunyao, “Yao’er, why don’t you help your little brother choose a name?”

Mu Yunyao was really shocked, “How is it appropriate for me to choose a name?”

“What’s wrong with it? If you didn’t come to help, can this child be born safely? Naturally, there would be no one more suitable for this than you.”

Thinking of Concubine Zhou and those two midwives, a cold light flashed through Lady Jin’s eyes. Although she didn’t want to kill the innocent, she will not be merciful when she meets people who want to murder her. If they dared to reach out, then don’t blame her for being merciless.

“This....” Mu Yunyao looked somewhat awkwardly at Cao Yunnian at the side, “Didn’t Father flip through a lot of books? Let him choose it.”

Cao Yunnian laughed dryly, “Your Mother despises me for finding such a strange name. I’ve racked my brains to come up with a name that doesn’t suit my son. But what your Mother said is right. It’s very appropriate for you to choose the name.”

Looking at the expressions of the two, Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but burst out laughing. “Alright, since it’s like this, then I won’t decline any longer, this name....Let me think. A gentleman wins when he’s civil, a man wins when he’s historical, and a gentleman becomes a gentleman when he’s cultured. If not, let’s call it Zhiwen, Cao Zhiwen?”

“Then, a gentleman, not bad, not bad. It’s much better than your Father thought. I don’t want him to be rich or powerful, I only want him to be decent, to understand the ways of the world, to be a gentleman, and heaven will treat him well. He is called Zhiwen, Cao Zhiwen.”

Cao Yunnian nodded, “Well done.”

After talking for a while and discussing what to do with the full moon wine, Mu Yunyao got up and left.

After she left, Cao Yunnian asked Lady Jin, “Madam, what you’re doing seems to have a deeper meaning?”

Lady Jin smiled, “What is Old Master’s think of Yunyao?”

Cao Yunnian thought for a moment and sighed with emotion, “There is nothing to pick on in terms of looks, character, and temperament, especially in terms of intelligence. There is a sense of elegance in her body, and if I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I would not believe that an ordinary family could bring up such a child.”

“Besides these, how does Old Master think of her future?”

“Future?” Cao Yunnian thought for a moment before shaking his head. “Although she has been praised by the Emperor twice, business is not the right way. Scholars, farmers, commerce, and merchants are still in the lower ranks. She may live a rich life, but it is really complicated to predict what kind of future she will have.”

On the other hand, Lady Jin shook her head. “I’m thinking the exact opposite of Old Master. I think that in the future, she will make a great leap forward and make a great surprise!!”

Cao Yunnian stared at her and asked. “How do you know?”

“The words I said might not be pleasant, but please do not mind Old Master. In the past half-year, Old Master had first been promoted to an official, and you also received a reward from the Emperor. Now that your performance evaluation was excellent, the promotion was imminent. Although there was a reason why you were able to become an official, it was mostly due to you receiving rewards from the Emperor. That could also be a consideration due to Mu Yunyao’s influence. What she had done looked ordinary and unremarkable, but in reality, she has gradually laid a solid foundation for us, making Jingling City famous in the eyes of the Emperor. So how could such a woman be willing to be ordinary?” Lady Jin sighed. “Some people are born different from others. Even if they are from a humble background, they will definitely surpass tens of thousands in the future. I think Mu Yunyao is one of them. We are the ones who are leading her, but in the future, she can reverse this situation. We recognize her as an adopted daughter, and we have already made this good relationship. Now that she’s given a name for our son, it’ll stabilize our relationship for the next generation. Even if Yunyao’s future is not too good, with her helping me giving birth safely, it won’t be too much to ask her to choose the name.”

Cao Yunnian thought carefully and couldn’t help but nod his head repeatedly. He held Lady Jin’s hand and said, “Madam is so thoughtful. In the future, we will treat Yunyao as our own.” Lady Jin smiled and nodded. She knew that Cao Yunnian was not a pedantic person, so she dared to say what she said before. Otherwise, if she was a petty person, not only would she not be grateful to Mu Yunyao, but she would also have a grudge in her heart. “Look at how I’ve been taking care of my child these past two days. I’ve forgotten about the matter with Concubine Zhou. Back then, Yunyao was too worried for me, so she scolded her. Master, please don’t mind her.”

Mentioning Concubine Zhou, Cao Yunnian’s expression turned even worse. “I wanted to let her go to the manor to rest her heart for a while. Seeing that the Emperor’s promotion will pass down, we will live in the Capital in the future. Although she is a concubine, she can still influence the reputation of the Cao family. If she can raise her temperament, we can avoid any trouble in the future.”

“But no one has lived in the manor for a long time. Some things may not be complete, but if Concubine Zhou is not used to living in such a place....” Concubine Zhou always complained. If she directly sent people to the manor, she would write back and cry in two days. At that time, it would be hard for Cao Yunnian to be soft-hearted. It would be better to block the way for her now.

“How can you allow her to do so many things? Madam is calm and tolerant of them. In the future, when she entered the Capital, she must put more restrictions on herself. After all, those people are all nobles, and if she is to offend them accidentally, she will only cause trouble.”

“Alright, I’ll listen to Old Master.”

Seeing that Lady Jin was about to be out of confinement, the imperial government sent down the decree to promote Cao Yunnian. The order to transfer Cao Yunnian to the Capital, join the inspector’s office. His official position was the fourth rank, which was a big step forward.

At the same time, Li Munian also settled down in Jingling City. He came with the order to take over the position of the Jingling Salt Transport Envoy. In another month, after the handover of the things in hand, Cao Yunnian and Lady Jin would set off for the Capital. If they want to come to the Cao family’s residence in the Full Moon Banquet, they will meet the new Salt Transport Envoy.

When Mu Yunyao heard the news, she didn’t take it to heart. Recently, the items from Liu Liang have been coming back continuously. She had to carefully look through it a few times every day to organize the news. She just picked out what was useful to her. Jin Qiao helped stack the paper neatly and asked Mu Yunyao in confusion, “Miss, the flowers and plants you gathered have already been placed in Jin Xiu Garden’s greenhouse. The weather is still too cold now, the flowers and plants are already delicate and tender, not to mention raising them, it’s very troublesome to raise them, it’s also too difficult to make them blossom. Can you really use them?”

“I went to the greenhouse to take a look, and the person who once operated this Jin Xiu Garden was also very meticulous. The place has everything, and after a short rest, it will convert into a greenhouse. With a greenhouse, it’s much easier to raise flowers and plants, not to mention the fact that it’s already near spring, even if it’s windy and snowy outside, the flowers would still blossom brilliantly.”

Incurable Chapter 1 Part 1

The rainy season is coming in the summer of June.

Under the black sky, the dripping rain created a gloomy atmosphere. The raindrops rushed down, and soon, the dry ground became wet.

The car’s wheel skimmed over the wet pavement at high speed, splashing a string of droplets. They could hear the doctors’ and family members’ frantic cries in the emergency room.

Mu Wan was holding an umbrella and carrying a hot cone box. The heat from the congee emits through the paper box, dissipating the hospital’s gloomy air.

“I’m here. What floor are you on?” Mu Wan closed her umbrella and walked across the crowd towards the elevator.

On the phone, Lin Wei said the floor number and ward number. Mu Wan pressed the elevator button. It had just ascended to the 12th floor, and there was still some time to come down.

The rain outside was getting heavier, and traffic accidents are prone to occur on rainy days. Due to traffic accidents, many people get injured and covered with blood.

The cries of family members, the patient’s painful groaning, and the sounds of the treating medical staff mixed to make a lively and sad voice clear through the lobby.

Lin Wei was still talking about something. While Mu Wan answered her quietly, her eyes followed a patient into the noisy and busy ward nearby.

This ward was large, and the thick iron door was open. People came and went inside the room.

Mu Wan glanced a few times, and the depressing atmosphere inside made her slightly uncomfortable. She closed her eyes and prepared to continue waiting for the elevator. When she wants to take back her eyes, her eyes look in a different direction.

In the chaotic ward, two people stood in front of the hospital bed with bandages on their bodies. A boy, covered in blood, lies on the bedstead, with his face blue and lifeless.

A doctor and a nurse stood on the other side of the bed, but they did not treat the boy. The nurse looked down, and her eyes were a bit red. The male doctor beside her bent slightly and held the boy’s hand, which was mixed with blood and mud.

The doctor’s appearance was striking, with high eyebrows, clear eyes, a straight nose, and thin lips. He gave off a feeling like bamboo leaves washed away by rain, hidden in the dense bamboo forest, but the leaves were nonetheless vivid and delicate. He emitted a detached temperament as the separate shelter. Although he was in the epicenter of chaos, he was also like a remote mountain detached from the world of chaos, absolutely noble and solitary.

He held the boy’s hand, and the cuffs of his white coat, stained with a few drops of blood, gradually dried up. He didn’t care about that. His slender fingers wrapped around the boy’s hands, his eyes drooping, and his face was calm.

Just then, the depression eased slightly. Mu Yan’s eyelids blinked, and she remembered a memory from a few years back.

A passenger died suddenly in the waiting room of a train station a few years ago. A monk suddenly held the dead passenger and performed ceremonies for his soul to ascend.

There is no shortage of deaths in the hospital, but when the doctor releases the boy’s hand and puts the white cloth on the boy’s head, Mu Wan’s heart is slightly chilled. Then, both the men and women beside him cried out sadly.

At the same time, the doctor seemed to be aware of her presence and looked up.

His eyes were calm and deep, sweeping gently, like a bamboo forest wind sweeping through her heart. Mu Yan was a little stunned and retracted her gaze.

The elevator loudly made a “ding” sound and reached the first floor. Mu Wan raised her eyes and checked the words “Emergency Room” above the ward. She asked Lin Wei, “In your building, have an Emergency Room?”

“What emergency room? Which building are you in?”

“The one right in front of the hospital gate.”

“That’s the Emergency Building! I’m in the Inpatient Department!”

“…”

When she arrived at Lin Wei’s ward, Mu Wan put aside her umbrella and saw that Lin Wei had already spread out a small table for dinner. She cut her appendix two days ago and could only eat liquid food. When Mu Wan still had to be shot in other places. she complained that the taste of plain congee in the hospital was unsatisfactory. Mu Wan just returned to Xiacheng after filming. After putting down her luggage, she went to Xu Ji Congee Shop to buy her favorite congee and came to see her.

“How do you feel? Does it still hurt?” Mu Wan laid out bowls and chopsticks for Lin Wei and pulled a chair to sit down.

She had just returned from Wencheng, where there was no rain, and it was still hot, so she only wore a black T-shirt and white shorts. When she sits down, her legs overlap, so her posture looks relaxed and lazy.

Mu Wan was an 18-line actress with a very delicate appearance. She had an oval face, a beautiful nose, red lips, and a small chin. Her dark and clear eyes were charming but not sultry. She was tall, 1.7 meters, with long legs and a slender waist. She had big breasts and buttocks, well-proportioned and slim but not too thin. All around, she had a perfect figure.

She had a wild look and the gorgeousness of a Hong Kong actress in the 1980s. Her beautiful, elegant, and non-vulgar character demonstrates her high level.

“As long as I don’t touch the wound, it doesn’t hurt.” Lin Wei was eating the congee, and her mouth was burning. After eating, she looked at Mu Wan, looking out the window. She didn’t know what Mu Wan was thinking right now.

“What are you thinking?” Lin Wei waved a spoon in front of Mu Wan’s eyes.

The rain outside the window became lighter, and the heavy raindrops on the edge rolled down, rolled over the glass window, and left a meandering watermark, like the doctors who go back and forth in the Emergency Room.

“When I was waiting for the elevator, I saw a doctor who seemed to be performing prayers on a dead boy.” Mu Wan looked back and told Lin Wei about the male doctor in the Emergency Room.

Doctors must save people. They want to help people live, but they also can help them when they die. These two words are related to each other. They were very conflicted together. However, Lin Wei was not surprised. Her eyes lit up as she asked Mu Wan, “Is Doctor Liu handsome?”

“You know him then. Indeed, he’s very handsome.” Mu Wan smiled and recalled the male doctor’s face at that time. His face was very gentle, making a deep impression, especially when he looked at her.

“His name is Liu Qianxiu, a surgeon, and he had nicknamed Liu Daochang. (TN: Dao Chang = Taoist Priest) He is the emotional support for the entire group of females in Tang’er Hospital.” Her colleagues sent Lin Wei to the Emergency Room a few days ago. It was Liu Qianxiu who diagnosed her.

It was so painful at that time. However, Lin Wei took the nurse’s hand after the operation and asked many questions.

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 183

~ SAFE GIVING BIRTH ~ 

 
“Good, good, good!” Cao Yunnian said those three words and laughed out loud. Then, he wanted to enter the delivery room without a care in the world. “I’m going to visit Madam. It’s been hard on her!” 

Mu Yunyao hurriedly stopped her father, “Father, you don’t need to worry. Mother has just finished giving birth, and there are still many things in the delivery room that haven’t been cleaned up yet. Moreover, your body has cold energy. I’m afraid that if you go in, it will freeze my little brother. You can change your clothes first, and I’ll ask people to tidy up the delivery room.”

Cao Yunnian looked down and discovered that he was still wearing his official uniform. He hurriedly lifted his head and said, “I was so worried that I was confused. I just got back from the administrative office and didn’t even have time to change my clothes. It’s not appropriate to wear this to see Madam. I’ll go to change it.”

“Alright.”

Mu Yunyao returned to the delivery room once again and discovered that Lady Jin was already asleep from exhaustion. The child was also sleeping sweetly by her side. His face was slightly red, and he looked a little wrinkled. He looked a little ugly, but he didn’t lose his cuteness.

Mu Yunyao went up to take Lady Jin’s pulse. Perhaps it was because she was too tired that she still hadn’t woken up.

Yin Hong figure walked in and knelt and kowtowed to Mu Yunyao directly.

Mu Yunyao hurriedly motioned to Jin Lan and Jin Qiao to help her up. She hissed lightly before bringing them to the outer room. “What is Sister Yin Hong doing?”

“This servant, thanks to Young Miss. If I didn’t have Miss’s help today, I’m afraid Mistress and Young Master would have been in danger.” She had seen the actions of Concubine Zhou and the midwife. If it wasn’t for Mu Yunyao, Young Master definitely unable to survive even if he didn’t die.

“I naturally wouldn’t watch my adoptive mother and younger brother suffer. If you say thank you, then it would be a foreign matter.”

“Yes, it’s all my fault that I was too agitated. For a moment, I couldn’t think of any words to say. Please forgive me, Miss.”

“You were loyal to my adoptive mother, and it was all thanks to you taking care of her that her body was healthy. When you get the reward, don’t forget to treat me to tea.” Yin Hong was overwhelmed by the favor. Since Mu Yunyao’s current identity was a master that owned the notorious tea house in Jiangnan, she could naturally find everything what kind of tea she wanted. Just now, when she said that, she was merely showing her intimacy with Yin Hong. “Yes, when I go to Bu Xian Luo, I will invite Young Miss to drink the most expensive tea.”

Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but smile. “Then you’ve earned it. I’ll personally make the most expensive tea in Bu Xian Luo. When the time comes, I’ll treat you. However, you still have to pay for the tea.”

“Yes, of course,” her cheeks were slightly red, “I can buy you a few drinks, Young Miss!”

“That’s great. I’ll remember it.”

After sleeping for more than two hours, Lady Jin finally woke up. When she woke up, she saw that the sky was already completely dark. Mu Yunyao was sitting on a chair not far away from her.

“Mother, you’re awake? Yin Hong, go and bring the soup over, then inform Father.”

“Yes, Miss.”

“Yao’er, you’ve been tired all day. I thought you were going back to rest?”

“I was worried because I didn’t see Mother wake up, so I stayed for a while longer.” Mu Yunyao got up and sat on the bedside before lifting the child up and placing it on Lady Jin’s bosom.

Lady Jin was so nervous that she was at a loss for what to do. Fortunately, the child was exceptionally well-behaved in his sleep. “He’s sleeping soundly. I wonder how much fright we’ve received because of him.”

While speaking, the child suddenly woke up and began to cry with a frown on his forehead. Mu Yunyao instantly panicked and couldn’t help but widen her eyes as she stood up and took a step back.

Lady Jin was initially nervous. But when she saw Mu Yunyao’s expression, she was slightly stunned before laughing out loud. Previously, when Lady Jin saw her calm appearance, Lady Jin thought that Mu Yunyao wasn’t nervous. But in fact, it seemed that she was forcing herself not to show it. “Yin Hong, go and call the wet nurse over.”

Only after that Mu Yunyao react, and she looked a little embarrassed. She hurriedly changed the topic. “Mother, could this wet nurse can you really trust?” After seeing Lady Jin’s experiences of being pregnant and having children all the way, Mu Yunyao was a little overwhelmed.

“She was once my maid and had always been loyal to me. When she reached her age, I helped her with a good marriage. Now that her whole family is serving in residence, I can trust them.”

“That’s good.”

Soon, the wet nurse walked over. Mu Yunyao sized her up, and when she saw her clear eyes and clean hands, she couldn’t help but nod to herself as the wet nurse carried the child with professional movements.

The child’s appetite was small. By the time Cao Yunnian arrived, the wet nurse had already fed the child and put him on the bed.

Mu Yunyao also tactfully stood up to take her to leave. “Father, Mother, it’s getting late. If there’s anything else, we can talk about it in the future. I’ll be taking my leave first.”

“Alright,” Lady Jin also knew that there was no need to be in such a rush, so she ordered Yin Hong, “Take Young Miss safely back home.”

“Yes, Madam. Please rest assured.”

When they returned home, Su Qing came to welcome them. “Yao’er, how is Lady Jin?”

“Mother, you don’t need to worry. Although it was a bit dangerous, both mother and child were safe and sound in the end.”

“Amitabha, that’s good. It’s so difficult for Lady Jin to give birth to her child. It’s a good thing that she’s safe and sound.”

Mu Yunyao recounted her experiences in the Cao Family’s residence. When Su Qing heard this, she sighed, “I really don’t understand. I don’t understand how a child could attract so many people’s hatred!” Without the Jin Family’s support, even Concubine Zhou wouldn’t dare to act so blatantly.

“Who knows what’s going on in the big family?” Mu Yunyao shook her head. She didn’t know what the Jin Family was thinking. Could it be that if Lady Jin didn’t have any children, she would fully support the Jin family? If it was her, she never has a grudge on such a thing.

Knowing that Lady Jin needed some rest, Su Qing did not rush to visit her. She waited until three days later before following Mu Yunyao to the Cao Family’s residence.

Lady Jin looked much better. At this time, she was leaning against the bed and holding her baby. Seeing Su Qing and Mu Yunyao coming in, with a smile on her face, she said, “Sister Su, please come and help me to have a look. He always falls asleep and doesn’t wake up very much.” She also repeatedly told Yin Hong to watch the tea in her seat.

Su Qing could not help but smile, “It’s a good thing. Children can grow fast by eating and sleeping.”

Lady Jin heaved a sigh of relief. She raised her child for the first time, and she was so nervous. She would wake up several times during the night to check if the child was still breathing. As Su Qing and Lady Jin discussed raising a child, Mu Yunyao sat to the side and listened quietly. Her eyes were curved, and from beginning to end, they filled with a smile. From Su Qing’s words, she could imagine how she looked when she was just born. She also could feel her mother’s strong love for her. Just thinking about it made her feel extremely happy.

Lady Jin and Su Qing discussed the parenting experience for a long time. Until Su Qing asked to resign, she still had some meaning. “Sister Su, in the next two days, you will have to visit me frequently. As for taking care of children, I really don’t have any experience, so I would like to ask for your advice.”

“Alright, but Madam still needs to rest more. Do not fall sick in confinement. Otherwise, you will regret it for the rest of your life.”

“I’ll listen to you.” Lady Jin nodded.

Mu Yunyao followed Su Qing and left. After she got into the carriage, she couldn’t help but ask about how his childhood was, “Mother, how I used to be when I was so young?”

“When you were just born, you were like a little kitten with your hands on your palms. The villagers all said that you could not be raised and advised me to throw you away. But Mother thought that I could nurture you well, so no one listened. Your father also doted on me and did his best to buy medicinal ingredients for me. I never thought that you could really grow up so well, and even looks like a flower and like jade now....” Mu Yunyao leaned on Su Qing’s shoulder, the smile in her eyes gradually deepened.

There was a custom in Xiayan Village that a child that couldn’t grow up must not die at home. This would bring about bad luck and would make future children hard to raise. Mother was able to keep her at that time, so the rumors she was carrying around were not small, “Mother, you are very kind.”

“Silly girl, what are you thinking about again? Alright, it’s all over now. You’re fine. Mother is happier than anything else.”

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 182

~ LADY JIN GIVING BIRTH SAFELY ~ 

 
Seeing that Mu Yunyao, with her tender age, blocked the bed and tried her best to protect her made Lady Jin couldn’t help but cry. She was so glad that she and Mu Yunyao had met that day and formed a good relationship and that she accepted this adopted daughter.

Mu Yunyao’s aura was so strong that it pressured the two midwives until their faces went pale, “We.... Naturally, we hope that Madam will be able to give birth safely.”

“This is the best way. If my adoptive mother was giving birth safely, you all will take the silver taels back home and live a good life for the whole family. On the contrary, if anything were to happen to her, not only would the two of you lose your lives, even the entire family would not be able to escape punishment!” After Mu Yunyao finished speaking, she turned around to help Lady Jin feel her pulse. “Mother, don’t worry. Your pulse is stable, and everything is going smoothly. I’ve already told Jin Lan and Jin Qiao to cook. You should close your eyes and rest first. I definitely won’t let anything happen to you and my little brother.”

“Alright, Yao’er. Mother believes in you.” Lady Jin closed her eyes and secretly decided in her heart. From now on, she will do her best to protect Mu Yunyao’s life!

Seeing that Lady Jin’s condition was stable, Mu Yunyao calmed down a little. Soon, Jin Lan and Jin Qiao brought in some food and said, “Miss, take a look.”

Mu Yunyao took the plate and looked at it. The two of them made some exquisite snacks, which were very convenient to eat while lying down, “Mother, eat something first. Otherwise, you won’t have any strength left.”

“Alright.” Lady Jin quickly nodded and ate half a plate of snacks from Mu Yunyao’s hand and then drank half a cup of warm water. She felt her body gain a bit of strength, and at this moment, the pain in her stomach grew even more intense, and she couldn’t help but groan.

Mu Yunyao touched her stomach, and a frown appeared between her brows.

Seeing her expression, Lady Jin tensed up. “Yao’er, is there a problem with the child?”

“Younger brother has a lively personality and is dishonest in Mother’s stomach, so he’s in a slightly improper position right now. I’ll push him a few times and let him turn around on his own. Mother, please don’t be too nervous.”

“Alright.”

Mu Yunyao turned her head to look at the two midwives on the ground. “I’m here to turn the fetal position. The two of you come over and help my adoptive mother deliver the baby.” In her previous life, she had learned many ways to scheme against people from the Poisonous Lady, especially in women. When a woman gives birth, if you move your hands and feet a little, you can kill two lives, and no trace can found of their death. If your hands were slightly more strenuous when you transferred the fetal to the normal position, she would not be allowed to give birth to the child, and the baby would have some disabilities. Also, she has prone to blood collapse. Therefore, Mu Yunyao better does it herself.

Mu Yunyao scolded the two midwives, and they had yet to recover from their shock. Hearing her instructions, they were reluctant in their hearts but did not dare express them on their face. They could only step forward and wait to see her jokes.

How could a young girl, who has not come of age, can really be better than them? It would be best if something happened, and they could take her as a scapegoat, saving them the hassle.

The two of them looked at each other, silently went forward, and waited, deliberately making Mu Yunyao lose face. Yin Hong was gnashing her teeth in hatred, but she couldn’t do anything else. She could only wait for her Mistress to finish giving birth before settling the score with them.

Mu Yunyao’s movements were soft and gentle. Even then, it was still enough to cause Lady Jin to sweat profusely.

The two midwives’ eyes filled with shock and doubt. They never thought that Mu Yunyao’s movements would be even more skillful than theirs. Seeing that the child’s head revealed, one of the midwives’ fingers trembled, gritted her teeth, and touched the child’s forehead.

The bones of a newborn child’s head were incomplete. As long as she used a bit of force to press her finger on it, most of these children will not live long. Even if they survived, they would become idiots.

Just as she was about to touch the top of the child’s head, she felt someone ruthlessly grip her wrist. Mu Yunyao’s voice was cold and carried a chill that caused one to tremble: “What do you want to do to my little brother?

“I, I was only helping to deliver the baby. Didn’t Young Miss instruct us to come over to help? If you still don’t trust us, we can go to the side and watch!”

“Yin Hong, Chun Hong, call someone to tie them up and lock them up separately. Don’t let anything happen to them. We’ll settle this debt with them slowly!”

“Yes, Miss.”

Lady Jin only felt her teeth tremble. She clenched her fists tightly with hatred, her nails pierced her palms, but she couldn’t feel any pain.

Mu Yunyao’s voice was steady, “Mother, you promised me. I’m still waiting to receive a big red envelope!”

“ ....Alright, I will definitely give it to you....”

Mu Yunyao looked calm on the surface, but she was actually very flustered in her heart. Even though she had learned from Poisonous Lady, she had never truly delivered the baby by hand. Her fingers gently supported the child’s head, using her strength with extreme care, afraid of causing him any harm. Fortunately, the child’s head came out, and then it went smoothly.

Less than the time she took to make a cup of tea, Lady Jin fiercely bit her lips and exerted all her strength. She felt her body relax as the child carefully carried by Mu Yunyao. Jin Lan and Jin Qiao at the side hurriedly took a cloth and a blanket to come over. Mu Yunyao helped the child cut off the umbilical cord and quickly wiped off the blood on his body. She then cleaned the amniotic fluid in his mouth and nose before lightly patting his little feet, and a loud cry came out.

The sound was like the sun piercing through the thick clouds, abruptly spilling onto the ground, causing Lady Jin to burst into tears immediately, and her entire body couldn’t help but tremble. Mu Yunyao heaved a sigh of relief. In such a short time, cold sweat ran down her back. Holding the soft child in her arms, she could only feel her heart aching, her eyes turning slightly red: Mother gave birth to her. It was definitely not easy at that time, using all the strength of the whole body, even if she was risking her life, she hopes to keep her safe.

Mu Yunyao wrapped the child up and placed him beside Lady Jin before quickly cleaning up the bloodstains and other things. Although she was afraid, it was fortunate that Mu Yunyao had arrived in time, and the following treatment was especially appropriate. Although Lady Jin was tired, she was still in good spirits as she looked at the infant in her arms, and she smiled with tears in her eyes: “Yao’er, I don’t even know how to thank you. If you don’t come today, I’m afraid it will be....”

“Mother, don’t be sad. You and my little brother are safe and sound. From now on, you are going to be in confinement. Don’t cry anymore. Otherwise, your eyes will hurt.”

“Alright, I understand.”

“Then please close your eyes and rest for a while. I’ll go out and report the good news to Father.”

“Alright.”

Cao Yunnian, who was outside, did not stop his footsteps. When he saw Mu Yunyao come out, he quickly went up to her and asked, “Yao’er, how is Madam?”

He had just suffered a lot outside and had not realized many things before. Now he wanted to understand them. When he first found out that Lady Jin unable to bear children, he was sad and resentful. However, after many years of being married to each other, he gradually put this matter down.

Now that Lady Jin got pregnant suddenly, it was more like a surprise to him. He was looking forward to the children, but he even more hoped that Lady Jin would be safe. He even thought that once Mu Yunyao came out to ask him if she should protect the child or protect the adult, he would not hesitate to decide to protect Lady Jin. Mu Yunyao smiled. “Don’t worry, Father. Both Mother and little brother are well.”

~ UNEASY CONCUBINE ZHOU ~ 

Time was tight, and Mu Yunyao didn’t have the time to tidy up carefully. She casually put on her clothes, put on her cloak, and walked out, not even having the time to tie up her hair. 

Yin Hong looked at Mu Yunyao with a flustered expression as if she had seen a savior. Then she said, “Miss, quickly go and have a look. Madam fell down and was bleeding. The midwife said that the position of the fetus is not correct and that the situation is too dangerous.”

“Liu Liang, prepare the horse. We are leaving immediately!”

Mu Yunyao rushed all the way to the Cao Family’s residence. The backyard was already in chaos, while Concubine Zhou was standing in the yard anxiously commanding, “Chun Hong, you prepare hot water, what are you busy doing? Mistress is extremely kind to you all, but you’re useless at this time!”

“Aiya, Xia Qing, hurry up and prepare the black chicken soup and put in some more ginseng. At this time, you must let Madam eat a little more in order to have strength!”

“You two little hooves, what are you standing still for? Hurry up and go to the kitchen and watch the fire. When a woman is giving birth to a child, it is like stepping into the gates of hell. If there’s anything wrong with Madam, I’ll only blame you!”

“Normally, you guys are all well-behaved, but who would’ve thought that you even wouldn’t be able to take good care of Madam, and you actually let her fall on the ground. When Madam safely gives birth, I will definitely report this to her and have her severely punish all of you. These little hooves!” She had always treated the child in her womb as if he is a treasure. Any maid who made problems get dismissed and removed as far as possible. She suddenly slips down and gives birth to a premature baby, making the maid’s heart flustered. They have been worried about waiting for Mistress to give birth to a little master, but they don’t know how she will punish them. Now that Concubine Zhou had mentioned it, they felt even more desperate.

Cao Yunnian was already nervous. After hearing what Concubine Zhou said, he paced back and forth, not knowing what to do. When he inadvertently saw Mu Yunyao, his eyes suddenly lit up, “Yunyao, you came at the right time. Your adoptive mother was asking someone to invite you. You should quickly go in and take a look.” Concubine Zhou stepped forward to block Mu Yunyao’s way, “Old Master, you seem to be very anxious. Miss Mu is still not betrothed and also a daughter who has not come of age. How can she understand the matter of giving birth? Those two midwives had delivered countless children, so they would definitely be able to protect Madam’s safety. Miss Mu has no experience at all. What if when she saw the labor scene, she was frightened. After disturbing the midwives, who would be able to bear the consequences?”
“This....”

Mu Yunyao frowned, “Who are you?”

“Miss Mu has never seen me before. No wonder you can’t recognize me. I’m Concubine Zhou....”

“Since you claim to be a Concubine, and now the Mistress of the house is giving birth, why don’t you kneel down and pray for blessings, but instead gesticulate in the mistress’s yard!” Concubine Zhou’s heart skipped a beat. Seeing Mu Yunyao’s attitude towards her, she looked towards When Cao Yunnian, his face was full of grievances: “Old Master, I am very kind. Seeing that the maids in Madam’s yard weren’t paying attention, I only helped say a few words. How come when it came to Miss Mu, it seems that I don’t have good intention!”

Cao Yunnian also felt that Mu Yunyao’s tone was a little aggressive. But thinking about how she was usually very close to Lady Jin, he could understand her anxious thoughts, “Yunyao....”

Mu Yunyao, however, ignores Concubine Zhou. Looking at the chaotic scene of the servants, she coldly shouted, “What kind of commotion are you making? Calm down!” Her voice was full of coldness and solemn, causing the chaotic yard to quiet down suddenly.

Concubine Zhou was unconvinced in her heart. “Miss Mu, this is the Cao Family’s residence. Aren’t you going a little too far by doing this....” Mu Yunyao suddenly turned her head, her gaze as sharp as a knife. Her ice-cold gaze swept past Concubine Zhou’s face. “Shut up! There’s no one here who can interrupt, especially a Concubine like you! Yin Hong and Chun Hong, you enter the delivery room and stay on my mother’s side. You must ask me about everything that enters the room and then gives it to her. Xia Qing and Zhu Qing go to prepare some hot water. Jin Lan and Jin Qiao go to the kitchen and prepare some food. As for the others who I didn’t call out, go back to your own room. If anyone dares to move around randomly, and I don’t need Madam to decide, I’ll kick you out first!”

Concubine Zhou anxiously looked at Cao Yunnian, “Old Master, look at that Mu Yunyao...”

“Pah!” Cao Yunnian slapped Concubine Zhou to the side. He was no fool, so when he heard Mu Yunyao’s arrangements and thought of her previous actions, his heart immediately went cold. Hearing that she still dared to spout nonsense, he directly slapped her, “Didn’t you hear Miss’s words. As a Concubine, you should kneel down and pray for the Mistress. You can go to the small Buddha hall in the backyard, and you can come out again when she has safely given birth!”

Concubine Zhou’s face turned pale, and she didn’t dare to say anything more. She covered her face with her hands and quickly left the courtyard. As soon as she left the yard, she fell down and sat on the ground. It took a while before she got up and walked towards the small Buddha hall.

Cao Yunnian became even more flustered, “Yunyao, you have to help your adoptive mother give birth safely. If....”

Mu Yunyao naturally knew that if he didn’t finish and there was any meaning behind his words, she hurriedly nodded and said, “Father, don’t worry. I’ll go in now and do my best to protect Mother and little brother’s safety!” She went straight into the delivery room.

In the delivery room, Lady Jin had long been worried sick. Especially after Concubine Zhou had arranged all the maids around her to leave, she felt that something was wrong. At that time, her stomach hurt so much that she had no time to speak. Lady Jin could only hope that Yin Hong would call Mu Yunyao.

While she was waiting, she was supported by two midwives to walk around the room. Her heart was anxious to the extreme, she had finally heard Mu Yunyao’s scolding voice, and she felt that the fatigue on her body had lessened. Seeing her push open the door and enter, she couldn’t help but reveal a smile. “Yao’er....”

Seeing Lady Jin’s condition, Mu Yunyao’s expression changed. “Mother, I saw that your amniotic fluid had broken. Why are you still walking on the ground? Is that how you two are going to help my mother deliver the baby?”

The two midwives quickly spoke up, “Miss, we are responsible for the delivery of many children. Don’t all women have to walk around the room in advance to have their children? That way, the children will be born faster, and the adults less suffering. What’s wrong with doing this?”

Another midwife chimed in, “That’s right. Miss, you are an unmarried girl, how could you know how to give birth to a child more than us? Madam, please let this young lady leave. If she delays us like this and something happens in the end, who will be held accountable?”

Mu Yunyao strode forward and raised her hand to hit the second midwife’s face viciously. “Yin Hong, Chun Hong, supports Mother to lie on the bed. And you two kneel down for me!”

The two midwives’ expressions changed. They never thought that Mu Yunyao would actually dare to be so overbearing, especially the second midwife. Her eyes filled with venom. “Miss Mu, aren’t you going too far?!” Mu Yunyao sneered, “If something were to happen to my adoptive mother, I would let the two of you pay with your lives, or I can also do something even more outrageous!”

~ THE END OF TAN BAWANG ~ 

County Magistrate Zhao raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet and then solemnly stated his promise: “Everyone, please be at ease. I will definitely conduct myself professionally and handle this matter impartially. I will not only prove Bu Xian Luo and Miss Mu’s innocence but also give Miss Ming Yin an explanation!” This time the evidence is conclusive. No matter how much pressure Tan Lin puts on him, he would definitely not let Tan Bawang off! 

“Lord Zhao is wise!”

“Leave it to Lord Zhao. We can rest assured.”

Mu Yunyao stepped forward and bowed. “This humble one thanks Lord Zhao on behalf of Ming Yin.”

“Miss Mu, you are too polite. It is my duty and responsibility. Please wait for the good news.” County Magistrate Zhao ordered the officials under his command, “Take Tan Bawang and his attendant back to the County Government Office. Bring the teacups and other evidence along with them.”

“I’m sending you off, Lord Zhao.” Mu Yunyao stood up, turned around, and bowed to the guests who had helped her testify. “Thank you for your righteous words. Today, you all can have free tea in Bu Xian Luo. It’s a form of apology to the guests for disturbing everyone.”

“Miss Mu does not need to be so courteous. How can we watch you and Miss Ming Yin bullied by them?”

“Yeah, I still have to pay for the tea.”

Mu Yunyao smiled as she shook her head. “When everyone clearly knows that Cai Yue Pavilion is like the sun in the sky, and you can still stand up and testify for Bu Xian Luo. My heart is full of gratitude. Naturally, I have to reward this kind-hearted and righteousness. I have already felt so thin just by exempting one day’s tea money.”

When the words left Mu Yunyao’s mouth, they carried a sincere tone. Everyone felt a burst of comfort in their hearts as if they had done an extraordinary thing: “Alright. Many thanks, Miss Mu.”

Mu Yunyao supported Ming Yin back to the backyard to rest. After avoiding everyone’s gaze, Ming Yin stood up, curtsied, and said, “I’ve made Miss Mu and Shopkeeper Qin worry.”

Steward Qin shook his head helplessly: “Although you have lost some sense of courtesy in doing things, you have achieved remarkable results. I will give you two months of your wages. During this time, you can have a good rest and take care of the wound on your hands.”

Mu Yunyao also knew about Ming Yin. It said that her original name was Ming Yin (冥音) instead of Ming Yin (铭音). She learned assassination techniques, and she was the most outstanding among the people trained in that batch. If it wasn’t for Shopkeeper Qin’s request to not cause trouble in the building, Tan Bawang and his attendant had already been decapitated long ago.

After arranging someone to take care of Ming Yin, Mu Yunyao and Steward Qin walked out. “Shopkeeper Qin, when the guests who have testified for us leave, each person will be wrapped with two taels of tea as a gift. We can’t just let them be frightened for no reason.”

“Alright, we’ll follow Miss Mu’s arrangements.”

When she returned home, Su Qing hurriedly came out to welcome her. When she saw Mu Yunyao, she quickly pulled her up and down to examine her. “Yao’er, are you alright?” If it wasn’t for Si Qin stopping her, she had already rushed to Jin Xiu Garden.

Mu Yunyao quickly held Su Qing’s hand. “Mother, don’t worry. I’m fine. It’s just that Ming Yin was injured. But after recuperating for a while, she’ll be fine.”

“How come that Tan Bawang is always haunting us like a ghost. Tan Lin is also an ungrateful person. After learning the embroidery needle technique from us, he only cares about getting credit and fame for himself. He really is ungrateful!”

“Mother, didn’t we both talk about it long ago? Why are you so angry today?” Tan Lin turned his face ruthlessly was within her expectations. It would be strange if he didn’t.

“I don’t think it’s worth it. Tan Lin is truly ungrateful.” Even though she had guessed it, she still felt so depressed when facing it.

Mu Yunyao pulled her to sit down, “Don’t think about this matter anymore. In two days, everything will be peaceful and quiet.” The reputation of Cai Yue Pavilion was out, and there were quite a few people who could not sit still. It would not be long before Cai Yue Pavilion would follow the example of the Spring Embroidery Workshop (Chun Xiu Fang).

Within two days, County Magistrate Zhao convicted Tan Bawang and sentenced him to the crime. He framed the reputation of Bu Xian Luo by poisoning his tea and assaulting a woman, so he hit with a wooden plank. After 50 rounds, Tan Bawang had sent into exile as punishment. Tan Lin came to deal with him several times but failed to bring down Tan Bawang’s charge.

When Tan Bawang took out of the city, many people came to watch. It had said that a lot of people threw stones at him, smashing his head until it bled profusely. “Miss, you didn’t see that County Magistrate Zhao didn’t show the slightest mercy. The fifty planks almost took half of Tan Bawang’s life. After that, he didn’t even have time to rest but directly let the officers take him away. Along the way, there were even some people throwing things at him. When he left the city, he almost crawled out of the city. It seems to be able to relieve the hatred.”

Mu Yunyao smiled and did not take it to heart. “The reason he has his fate today is also that he has committed too many evil deeds in the past. Rumor said that Cai Yue Pavilion has a powerful influence in Huai’an City, and Tan Bawang has often bullied men and women. He was forcing people to die. I don’t even know how many were there. If you count it seriously, he should be beheading. It’s not enough to pay with ten times of cutting him off, and it’s a cheap thing for him to leave life.”

Jin Qiao nodded her head heavily: “Yes.”

In the afternoon, when Mu Yunyao had just gotten her afternoon nap, Liu Liang came over to ask for an audience, “Mistress, we’ve already investigated some of the things you want. There are many salt merchants in Jiangnan, but only the three that can be called giants. They are Wu, Cao, and Wei. Among them, Wu Minzhi of the Wu family is the leader of the salt merchants and has great influence.”

“Is there any way to find out what Wu Minzhi’s preferences are?” Mu Yunyao carefully thought about it, and her mind turned quickly.

“There are rumors that he likes to collect porcelain, and there are also rumors that he loves tea. However, he should have a mediocre preference for these two items. On the contrary, he is quite pleased with flowers and plants. He once spent a lot of money to buy two pots of Peony Blossom King in Luoyang and collected many precious orchids.”

Mu Yunyao’s eyes moved, “You think of a way to check and confirm if he really likes flowers and plants. Also, keep an eye on the movements of the salt merchants. After a while, the order for the imperial court to check the salt tax should come down. They will not start their work until they are in a burning situation. There must be arrangements in advance. We must seize the opportunity.”

“Yes, Mistress.”

When Liu Liang left, Mu Yunyao smiled lightly. “If you really like exotic flowers and strange plants, then it would be easier to handle.” There was a greenhouse in the backyard of Jin Xiu Garden. But due to the lack of people to manage it, people do not use it. She could borrow some and use them. Since she wants to intervene in the salt tax, she naturally has to get on good terms with the salt merchant leaders.

Mu Yunyao went to take a look at the greenhouse in Jin Xiu Garden. She had ordered some people to find a craftsman to repair and clean up the greenhouse. It always maintained pretty well, so it didn’t take too long. In just five or six days, it would be ready. During this time, people can search for some flowers and plants.

After busying herself for an entire afternoon, Mu Yunyao went to bed to rest early. In the middle of the night, when she was fast asleep, a knock on the door suddenly rang. She had just put on her clothes when Jin Lan hurriedly ran in: “Miss, Miss Yin Hong has come to deliver a message that Lady Jin is about to give birth. It has already started. Please go there quickly.”

Mu Yunyao frowned, put on clothes quickly, and said: “Isn’t it going to take another half a month?”

“This servant is also not clear. But Miss Yin Hong’s expression was extremely terrible.”

~ TRY A SIP ? ~ 

The cold sweat on Tan Bawang’s forehead was getting more and more evident. He was sure that he did poison the tea earlier. He didn’t know why Zhang Chun was fine, but it didn’t guarantee that he would be okay after drinking it, right? He didn’t dare to bet his life on it! 

While he was hesitating, they had brought the tray up to him. There were six small white porcelain bottles on the tray, and there is no difference on the surface.

Mu Yunyao calmly looked at Tan Bawang. “Young Master Tan, do you want to choose first, or should I?”

Tan Bawang suddenly turned his head to look at Zhang Chun. “Wait. Before we check, I would like to ask doctor Zhang, why was your expression so serious when you were examining the seventh teacup?”

Zhang Chun could not help but turn pale as he asked in a cold voice, “What does it have to do with you?”

“Is there any poison in the tea? It’s related to human life. Naturally, I need to ask Doctor Zhang to tell the truth. If you don’t want to tell me, then you must be guilty!”

The surrounding people were also so curious and looked at Zhang Chun upon hearing this.

Zhang Chun’s expression became stiffer and more rigid. Finally, he could not help but flick his sleeves. “I was too full and wanted to go to the toilet, so....”

The surroundings became silent for a moment, then bursting into laughter. No wonder doctor Zhang’s expression looked so solemn earlier. He actually wanted to go to the toilet, but he had to hold it in!

Zhang Chun’s face turned red as he revealed the truth. He clasped his hands at County Magistrate Zhao, “This humble one will take his leave first. Please allow me, Lord Zhao.”

County Magistrate Zhao didn’t expect this to be the reason. At this time, he couldn’t help but smile when he saw Zhang Chun’s awkward situation. “Doctor Zhang, leave quickly and return.”

Zhang Chun nodded helplessly, raised his sleeves, covered his face, and quickly walked away.

Tan Bawang was dumbstruck. He did not expect this to be the reason. If Zhang Chun did not lie, wouldn’t it mean that there was no poison in the tea? That was not right. It could also be that Mu Yunyao had secretly done something! What should he do? Was there any poison in the tea?

He felt like his head was about to explode.

Mu Yunyao slightly smiled, “Young Master Tan, have you decided? Will you choose first, or I’ll choose first?” 

“You....You choose first!”

“Alright.” Mu Yunyao directly picked up the first one and was about to send it to her mouth. 

Tan Bawang suddenly said. “No, I think it’s better if I’ll choose first. I’ll drink the one in your hand!”

Mu Yunyao’s smile deepened as she happily passed the teacup in front of him. “Alright, then I’ll let Young Master Tan have this cup of tea.” Seeing the smile on her face, Tan Bawang broke out in a cold sweat more and more. All sorts of thoughts were rolling about in his heart. Mu Yunyao was naturally cunning. Could it be that she had already guessed what he was thinking and chose the poisonous one as her first one? Her smile just became more and more brilliant. There must be some deeper meaning to it!

Seeing that Tan Bawang wasn’t willing to pick up the teacups, Mu Yunyao smiled, “Young Master Tan, the weather is so cold, why are you sweating so much? It just so happens that the tea is cold. Drink it to quell the anger in your heart!”

“You....What do you want to do?”

“Please drink this tea. Aren’t you just here for the sake of drinking tea? Why do you not drink the tea now when I delivered it to you?” Mu Yunyao’s expression turned completely cold. “Or did you not dare to drink it because you poisoned the tea?”

“I, I didn’t!”

“Since there isn’t any, let’s drink?”

The crowd also understood what was going on, and they were sure that Tan Bawang must have done something to the tea, which was why he was so afraid. He didn’t even dare to touch the teacup.

“Tan Bawang, Miss Mu said that she didn’t poison the tea, so she dared to test the tea herself. Didn’t you say that you didn’t poison the tea? Why don’t you dare?”

“Are you feeling guilty about being a thief now?” 

“Lord Zhao, I believe you have understood after thinking about it. Tan Bawang is really evil. Please arrest him and punish him severely!”

“That’s right. The last time Tan Bawang also came to slander Miss Mu, but he still doesn’t know how to rein himself in. He is truly arrogant!”

County Magistrate Zhao walked in front of Tan Bawang and waved his hand, summoning two officials. “Men, detain Tan Bawang.”

“No, let me go. I’m not guilty. Why do you want to capture me?”

“Even now, you still refuse to admit your mistake. Since that’s the case, I’ll investigate and clear this matter up!” County Magistrate Zhao faced the two officials and ordered, “Open his mouth for me and pour him the six cups of tea!”

The two officials hastily carried out their orders. Tan Bawang was so scared to death, “No, you can’t do this! I am the Young Master of Cai Yue Pavilion, and our Cai Yue Pavilion will soon obtain the golden signboard bestowed upon us by the Emperor. If you dare to disrespect me like this, then I will definitely punish you severely in the future!”

County magistrate Zhao was livid. “Make him drink it!”

Seeing that the official was about to pour the tea into his mouth, Tan Bawang could no longer hold it in. “No, there’s poison in the tea. I can’t drink it. It will kill me if I drink it!”

Taking advantage of the time when he was in a daze, Mu Yunyao shouted, “Tan Bawang, what poison is in the tea?”

“He Ding Hong! The poison in the tea is He Ding Hong!”

“Where did you get it?”

“I bought it from the Ci Ning Hall in Huai’an City....”

The two officials threw Tan Bawang, who had peed his pants in fright, onto the ground. At this moment, he realized what he had just said and immediately lost all color on his face.

“Mu Yunyao … You bitch, you, you. I put He Ding Hong in my tea, but why did my attendant not die after drinking it? Also, Zhang Chun had just checked on the tea. Why was he fine even after drinking it? There’s something wrong with this. There must be something wrong with this!” 

An official brought in the servant who had poisoned earlier. When he saw Tan Bawang’s appearance, he kowtowed to County Magistrate Zhao, “Lord, Tan Bawang is really devoid of conscience. After he bought He Ding Hong and forced me to drink it, he used it to frame Miss Mu. I am so afraid and am not willing to lose my life because of this. Then, I secretly switched out the poison. I threw He Ding Hong that he bought into the flower tree by the side of the yard, so the tea is actually no problem. I was indeed faking it just now.”

Tan Bawang’s eyes were red. He wished that he could kill the attendant in front of him. “You… I’ll kill you! I will kill you!”

Mu Yunyao ignored him and turned around to pay her respects to County Magistrate Zhao. “Lord Zhao, I presume you already know the truth of the matter. Tan Bawang framed me for ordering people to poison and murder people’s lives. If he succeeds, then I won’t be able to protect my life.” Ming Yin also kneeled on the ground and kowtowed, “Lord Zhao, Tan Bawang intended to disrespect me, but failed to coax me, and almost ruined my innocence. Now, I don’t have the face to live in this world, and only death can make me have a good reputation. Lord Zhao must punish these bullies and make decisions for the people!.” 

After saying that, Ming Yin got up and crashed into a pillar on the side.

“Miss Ming Yin!” The tea guests who watched from the sideline cried out in alarm and tried to pull her away, but they didn’t expect her strength to be so great. Even though someone had grabbed her sleeve, she still hit the pillar, causing her to bleed from her forehead.

Zhang Chun, who had rushed back, quickly went forward to check, “Fortunately, someone pulled her just now, so she didn’t lose her life. She should be able to recuperate and recover after a few months.”

Everyone was furious. If it weren’t for the presence of County Magistrate Zhao, they would have almost torn Tan Bawang personally!

“Lord Zhao, this is related to a person’s life!” 

“Lord Zhao, please make the decision!” Everyone bowed towards County Magistrate Zhao and shouted, “Please make the decision, Lord Zhao!”

~ THIS CUP OF TEA IS NOT POISONOUS ~ 

 
A hint of admiration flashed across County Magistrate Zhao’s eyes. “Alright, invite the doctor over immediately!” 

Soon, the doctor of Ren Shan Tang, Zhang Chun, rushed over with the medicine box. “Zhang Chun, the doctor of Ren Shan Tang, greets Lord Zhao.”

“I’ll have to trouble doctor Zhang to take a look at the teacups on the table.”

Tan Bawang suddenly said, “Wait! Lord Zhao, this doctor Zhang is from Jingling City, who knows if he was bought out by Mu Yunyao and helped her in private?”

“Then what do you suggest?”

Tan Bawang thought for a moment and then said: “In order to show fairness, ten cups of tea will put on the table, along with the one that my attendant had drunk. In this way, doctor Zhang will verify one by one. If he says that it is harmless, then let him drink that cup of tea. If he dares, he will prove that he has no partiality and speaks the truth!”

County Magistrate Zhao frowned, “This won’t do. How can we use human lives as a joke?”

“Lord Zhao, do you also think that doctor Zhang would help Mu Yunyao?”

“I didn’t say that.”

“If that’s the case, then why can’t my method work? As long as Dr. Zhang is impartial and honest, there won’t be any problems. It’s just drinking a few cups of herbal tea. When the case is over, I’ll offer Dr. Zhang 10,000 taels of silver to suppress his shock!”

Tan Bawang was proud of himself. Although he did not know what was going on with that attendant, he was one hundred percent sure that the tea indeed drugged. As long as it proved that there was poison in the tea, he would insist that it was Mu Yunyao who ordered Ming Yin to do it!

Noticing that County Magistrate Zhao’s expression was awkward, Zhang Chun took the initiative to speak, “I do not have any selfish thoughts. Since I was so fortunate to be called over to help inspect the tea, I will naturally speak the truth. I am not guilty, so I am not afraid to use the method that Young Master Tan said. Please send someone to prepare them, Lord Zhao.”

County Magistrate Zhao could only nod his head, “Alright, I’ll have to trouble doctor Zhang.”

Very quickly, ten small white porcelain teacups filled with tea has brought up. The color of the tea inside was the same, even the temperature was the same, and there was no difference.

The official then placed the tray in front of Zhang Chun. “Please examine it, doctor Zhang.”

Tan Bawang’s eyes revealed excitement as he stared at Zhang Chun. Just a moment later, he would be able to let Mu Yunyao have a taste of the pain he had endured. Just thinking about it caused him to feel incomparably excited.

Zhang Chun took the first porcelain cup and examined it with a silver needle. He then carefully smelled it and confirmed, “This cup is not poisonous!” After he finished speaking, he raised his head and gulped down the cup of tea.

Immediately afterward, he started examining the second cup. “This one has no poison!” He raised his head and drank again. Tan Bawang squinted his eyes and turned his head to look at Mu Yunyao. His heart filled with malice as he guessed: This little bitch looks calm on the surface, but in reality, her heart is already burning with worry, right? Haha, even if I can’t put her to death this time, I’ll make sure that she still will lose her reputation. Then, he could secretly make a move. It would be best if he could kidnap her to his residence and then torture her by all means!

When he came back to his senses, Zhang Chun had already started inspecting the sixth teacup. “This one is also not poisonous.”

There were also four small white porcelain cups on the tray, and everyone’s heart could not help but rise.

Zhang Chun was looking carefully at the seventh teacup. After checking it twice with a silver needle and distinguishing the taste, he looked more and more serious.

Tan Bawang couldn’t help but smile, thinking that this one would be the poisonous one!!

Zhang Chun shook his head and sighed, “This cup of tea is not poisonous!”

“What? You said that this is also not poisonous?” Tan Bawang could not help but become flustered, “Doctor Zhang, you have to think this through. As long as you say that it’s not poisonous, you have to drink it yourself. If you were accidentally saying something wrong, your life would also suffer!”

Zhang Chun frowned and looked at Tan Bawang unhappily, “I am a doctor. I treat patients and save people on weekdays. I have never tried to hurt anyone, so I am serious and responsible for everything I say. If I said this teacup has no poison, then the cup of tea really has no poison in it!”

“Alright, since that’s the case, you can drink it!” From his expression just now, it was clear that there was something wrong with the tea. Yet, he determines that it is not poisonous. He wants to see if the other party would dare to drink the tea!

Zhang Chun sighed again, raised his teacup, and drained it in one gulp.

The hearts of the surrounding people felt like in their throats. But after looking for a while, Zhang Chun’s face was flushed red. He was absolutely great.

This time, Zhang Chun directly checked the three remaining teacups. He turned around and said to County Magistrate Zhao, “Lord Zhao, the remaining three cups of tea are not poisonous!” Without waiting for the crowd’s response, he turned around and picked up the teacups to take a sip.

Looking at the ten small white porcelain cups that fell out of the tray, Tan Bawang’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets, “This … How is that possible?” How can there be no poison? It was absolutely impossible! Could someone else have done something to it? As he thought of this, he couldn’t help but cast his gaze at County Magistrate Zhao.

County Magistrate Zhao gave a cold laugh, “Tan Bawang, looking at your expression, it seems that you suspect that I have tampered with the matter and replaced the cup of tea your attendant was drinking.”

“I was just wondering, why is there no poison in the tea?” Tan Bawang racked his brains. He had obviously tested the poison with the dog in advance. As long as the dog touched the poison, it would immediately die. Afterward, he personally sprinkled the poison powder into the tea and gave it to the guard. Why can’t it be found now?

Mu Yunyao suddenly spoke, “I also think it’s so strange. Why do you insist that the tea is poisonous? You speak with such certainty. Could it be said that you have poisoned it yourself?”

“I did not! Don’t you slander people!” Tan Bawang almost jumped up.

“I’m just saying. Why are you so nervous? If you didn’t do something shameful, don’t be afraid of ghosts knocking at the door. I see that there is much tea in the small pot of white porcelain. I think that your attendant previously drank just a bit of tea. If we ask for Lord Zhao’s help again, we won’t need too much this time. We will only prepare six cups of tea, and each of us will have three teacups. How about drinking it for ourselves?”

Tan Bawang quickly refused, “What’s there to try?”

“Since you did not poison the tea, and I did not poison the tea either, then the tea water must be clean. We asked Lord Zhao to mix the tea that your attendant drank into it. Even if someone had the misfortune to drink it, it should be fine. Why don’t you dare?”

“I… Why would I not dare?”

“Since there’s nothing to be afraid of, then you’ll agree.” Mu Yunyao turned around and bowed to County Magistrate Zhao, “I’ll have to trouble Lord Zhao to prepare once again.”

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Tan Bawang’s forehead, and his face was slightly pale. County Magistrate Zhao squinted his eyes slightly. Seeing this scene, he already had a few words in his heart: “I saw doctor Zhang inspect the tea and confirmed that tea is not poisonous. I didn’t need the two of you to try it again. But since you agree to prove your innocence with it. I won’t stop you. Men, prepare another six cups of tea.”

~ KICK HIM ~

Tan Bawang didn’t expect that Cai Yue Pavilion’s reputation in Jingling City would be so terrible. On the other hand, Mu Yunyao’s good reputation had already been deeply rooted in the people’s hearts. She didn’t say much and was able to attract people to speak up for her.

Tan Bawang stomped his feet in anger, viciously pointed at the surrounding people, and growled: “Are you all blind? My attendant is going to die, yet you’re still making sarcastic remarks here. When Lord Zhao arrives, I’ll have him capture all of you and interrogate you all for your crimes!”

The voice of the surrounding discussion gradually decreased. After all, this was a matter that involved a person’s life. If they were to delay it, it would get worse. “Since that’s the case, why don’t you invite the doctor to treat your attendant?”

Tan Bawang frowned, “I was so scared that I forgot about saving someone. Mu Yunyao, you’ve been here for a while. Why didn’t you say about saving people? I know that you have a good face and a bad heart. You’re really evil!”

Hearing this, Mu Yunyao sneered, “Tan Bawang, how come I don’t know that as Young Master of Cai Yue Pavilion, you’re already so good at acting?”

“What do you mean? Will I use a person’s life to act?”

“Of course, you don’t want to use your life as an act, but if you want to use the life of one of your attendants. Naturally, you won’t care!”

“You are slandering me. I am going to tell Lord Zhao that you are maliciously slandering me!”

While he was talking, a shout came from outside, “Lord Zhao is here!”

The officials separated the crowd and entered the hall. Dressed in an official’s robe, County Magistrate Zhao frowned when he saw Tan Bawang. He had always been a righteous official and hated evil. Unexpectedly, Tan Lin would immediately save Tan Bawang from this situation. Whenever he thought of Tan Bawang, he felt as if a knuckle stuck in his throat. He didn’t expect that Tan Bawang would dare to come to Jingling City again!

“Greetings, Lord Zhao.” Tan Bawang smiled triumphantly, and his eyes could not hide his malice. It was this County Magistrate Zhao who made him suffer so much in prison. Now, he has to stand here and disgust him with all his strength, “Lord Zhao, come and take a look at my attendant! Mu Yunyao secretly sent someone to poison him to death!”

County Magistrate Zhao looks at the attendant who is lying on the ground. Then he orders the officials to investigate. “Go and see what’s going on.”

“Sir, this subordinate does not know much about medicine, so I am not sure why this person looks like this. How about you invite a doctor over?”

Tan Bawang, who was at the side, snorted coldly. “Lord Zhao, what else is there to investigate? Look at my attendant. He became like this after drinking a cup of tea from Bu Xian Luo. He’s such a nice guy, and it looks like he’s about to lose his life. It’s obvious that Bu Xian Lou deliberately murdered him!”

“Quiet!” County Magistrate Zhao frowned as he ordered, “Get a doctor right now!”

“No need.” Mu Yunyao slowly walked forward, “Lord Zhao, can’t you see? That attendant was clearly pretending. He was using this as a way to frame Bu Xian Luo.”

“Nonsense,” Tan Bawang angrily glared at Mu Yunyao, “I really didn’t expect you to be this vicious. It seems that my attendant’s life will end, yet you say that he’s pretending. Why don’t you pretend for me to see?”

County Magistrate Zhao carefully examined Tan Bawang’s attendant, the frown on his forehead becoming wrinkled and tighter. It really didn’t look like a pretense. “Let’s invite a doctor over to have a look first. If a life is in danger, and we can’t ignore it.”

Mu Yunyao walked directly in front of that attendant and looked at him. “This official here, you can directly stomp on his chest. You’ll be able to tell if he’s pretending or not.”

“Mu Yunyao, you’re directly taking someone’s life!” Tan Bawang shouted loudly, “County Magistrate Zhao, you have seen it. Hurry and arrest her. You can’t cover up for Mu Yunyao in front of everyone’s eyes, right?”

County Magistrate Zhao glanced coldly at Tan Bawang and said to Mu Yunyao, “Miss Mu, I’ll find out what’s going on. You can wait on the side.”

Mu Yunyao saw that the official didn’t dare to move, so she turned her head and called out Liu Liang. “Kick his center of the chest forcefully.”

The official at the side hurriedly said, “No....”

Unfortunately, Liu Liang didn’t care about his obstruction and directly kicked the attendant on the ground.

“Ugh!” The attendant initially looked sick for a moment, but after he had kicked, he jumped up from the ground and crawled to the door to vomit frantically.

Tan Bawang initially thought that this kick would directly take the attendant’s life. This way, he could directly enforce County Magistrate Zhao to convict Mu Yunyao. However, he didn’t expect that the attendant would actually come back to life after the kick!

County Magistrate Zhao prepared to interrogate Mu Yunyao, but he saw that the attendant was actually pretending. Otherwise, how could someone who was on the verge of death suddenly have the strength to jump up, “Tan Bawang, didn’t you say that your attendant poisoned because of the tea from Bu Xian Luo? How is it that I never knew that people could still be so lively after being poisoned?”

Mu Yunyao looked at Ming Yin as she supported her to stand before County Magistrate Zhao.

Ming Yin bowed, and her face was pale. After she spoke, her voice has barely concealed the pain she felt as she said, “Lord Zhao, please uphold justice for me!”

“What grievances do you have. Just say it?”

“Reporting to Lord, Tan Bawang’s personality has never changed. He took the opportunity to tease me and even framed me as someone who had poisoned his tea in order to harm him. Fortunately, Miss Mu knew medical skills and was able to see through the tricks of that attendant. Otherwise, I would have been afraid to argue and would have to die to prove my innocence.”

The guests who had remained silent because of the involvement of human lives became excited suddenly. They explained everything that transpired between Ming Yin and Tan Bawang to County Magistrate Zhao with a single sentence. “Lord Zhao, we can all testify that Tan Bawang deceived others and insisted that it was Miss Mu who ordered Ming Yin to poison the tea and want to kill him. But in reality, there was no poison, so what kind of murder is this? It was clearly due to his sinister intent. Last time, he wanted to take in Cai Qing as his concubine forcefully, and he held a grudge after being rejected. This time, he has resorted to using the same method again and has used Ming Yin to frame Miss Mu. His thoughts are truly vicious!”

“That’s right. We have never seen such a shameless person. Last time, he turned black and white, and this time he was even so confident. Does he really think that no one in Jingling City can uphold justice?”

“Tan Bawang has committed a heinous crime....”

“All of you. Shut up!” Tan Bawang roared angrily with his red eyes. “What do you know? You’re here to protect Mu Yunyao. Who knows what tricks she used just now? My attendant had really poisoned. The tea that he drank is still on the table. As long as we examine it, we will know who is lying.”

County Magistrate Zhao looked at Mu Yunyao. Mu Yunyao wore a faint smile on her face as she spoke calmly, “Since that’s the case, then I shall ask the doctor to come and have a look. I don’t believe that anyone can call white as black in broad daylight!”

~ TAN BAWANG MAKES TROUBLE AGAIN ~ 

Mu Yunyao’s face turned slightly red, and she looked a bit embarrassed, “I’m just thinking of a way to earn some money. I’m not worthy of Steward Qin’s praise.”

“I’ve never seen Miss Mu wear any of the jewelry I gave you last time. Don’t you like those patterns or styles? If Miss Mu likes anything, I can ask Yu Yi to help me gather some from different places.”

“Such quality excellent gem headdress, how could I not like that? It’s just that my father has passed away less than three years, so I didn’t dare to put it on casually. It seems that I have made you misunderstood me.”

Steward Qin suddenly understood and praised in his heart, “No wonder I always saw Miss Mu wearing simple and elegant clothes. I didn’t expect that this was the reason. Please forgive me.”

“It’s nothing. Steward Qin, you don’t need to worry about it. According to the date, Fourth Master should have arrived in Western Guangdong by now, right?”

“Yes, Wang Ye should be there soon. Don’t worry, Miss. After Fourth Master has settled things in Western Guangdong, he will come back.”

“....”

Yu Yi walked in and interrupted Mu Yunyao’s words just as she was about to speak, “Greetings, Miss Mu and Shopkeeper Qin. The Young Master of Cai Yue Pavilion, Tan Bawang, came to drink tea. He said that the tea was fake. Someone poisoned and died. It has already started to cause trouble.”

Mu Yunyao hurriedly stood up and walked out. “Lead the way. Let’s go take a look.”

In the middle of spring, Tan Bawang’s attendant is lying on the ground. His face pale and foaming. The table at the side overturned, and the tea spilled all over the floor. The person in charge of making the tea, Si Cha Ming Yin, was lying on the ground with blood flowing from her arm; she had clearly hurt.

As soon as Mu Yunyao entered, she saw Tan Bawang sitting on a chair with a triumphant smile on his lips. He eagerly looked at the door and immediately stood up when he saw her enter. His expression suddenly turned into anger, and he rebuked: “Mu Yunyao, although we had some conflicts earlier on, you can’t order people to poison the tea. It is blatantly plotting to kill others and is a crime that requires beheaded! Right now, I....”

Mu Yunyao turned to look at Yu Yi and spoke to interrupt Tan Bawang’s words, “Go to the government and report this. Say that Tan Bawang has deliberately taken revenge, injure Bu Xian Luo’s Si Cha, and planted maliciously that the tea was poisonous. Please asked Lord Zhao to uphold justice for us!”

Tan Bawang didn’t expect Mu Yunyao to be even more unyielding than him. The corner of his eye immediately twitched, but seeing that his follower had already died and thinking of his own meticulous arrangements, his heart calmed down a bit: “Mu Yunyao, don’t bluff, you want to report this to the officials? Good, I also have the same idea. I just so happen to let Lord Zhao and the people of Jingling City come here to take a look, to see just how evil you are, deliberately retaliated and killed for money.”

Yu Yi received the order and immediately turned around to leave. Before reporting to the official, he informed Liu Liang to come over in case Tan Bawang was in a hurry to jump over the wall and injure Mu Yunyao.

The commotion over here had already attracted the attention of quite a few people. At this moment, many guests had already gathered around to watch the scene.

Everyone could not help but feel a sense of disgust when they saw Tan Bawang. This person had previously come looking for trouble with Miss Mu and had finally settled down for a few months. Who knew that he would come looking for trouble again?

When they thought about the infamous Cai Yue Pavilion, they had a guess. It was likely that Tan Bawang wanted to borrow the power of Cai Yue Pavilion to come to Miss Mu and take revenge for the matter from before!

Mu Yunyao walked up and helped Si Cha, who had fallen up from the ground. “Ming Yin, are you alright?”

“Thank you, Young Miss. I’m fine. I just suffered a little injury.” As Ming Yin spoke, she slowly pulled up her sleeves, revealing a long wound on her arm. Her arm was white and slender, and the injury was about a long stretch, dripping with blood. It was particularly shocking, and it immediately caused the crowd around to exclaim.

“Tan Bawang, you actually dare to hurt someone. You’re really too arrogant!” Tan Bawang looked at the wound on Ming Yin’s arm and immediately opened his eyes wide. He had only pushed her down to the ground, only was afraid that Ming Yin would cause trouble and didn’t hurt her. He didn’t expect her to slander: “You bitch, when did I ever hurt you?”

Ming Yin trembled slightly. Her expression was full of fear, and she couldn’t help but move behind Mu Yunyao. Her already pale face became even paler.

The criticism from the crowd grew in volume, “Tan Bawang, we will testify on behalf of Miss Ming Yin. We will definitely ask Lord Zhao to punish you.”

“Are you all blind? Did you not see my attendants frothing at the mouth after drinking this bitch’s tea, and you still dare to spout sarcastic words? If someone really dies, then all of you are accomplices!” Tan Bawang glared viciously at the surrounding customers.

“For the past half-year, we have frequently come to Bu Xian Luo to drink tea. There is no problem with tea. It’s so good. Why would Miss Ming Yin poison your attendant?”

“Naturally, she took revenge for the previous things. Back then, for the sake of Cai Qing, I made a speech to make things difficult for Mu Yunyao, and she harbored deep hatred in her heart. Now that she saw me drinking tea, she ordered Ming Yin to poison me in order to kill me. Unexpectedly, you sent the tea to the wrong place and let my attendant drink it directly. I was lucky to live. It seems like it was heaven protection, and they can’t stand to see the cunning succeed.” Tan Bawang slanted his eyes at Mu Yunyao’s expression. Seeing that her face was calm, the hatred in his heart became deeper and profound. His father abandoned him and let him suffer from three months’ imprisonment. This hatred is no longer bearable. Now that Cai Yue Pavilion’s contribution is more excellent than Ni Yun Fang, and he doesn’t need to be afraid of it! 

The hatred in the past and the hatred today, they might as well take revenge together!

Mu Yunyao took the white gauze from Jin Lan’s hand and helped Ming Yin temporarily bandage her arm to stop the bleeding before asking, “Miss Ming Yin, is the matter as Tan Bawang said?”

Ming Yin quickly shook her head while biting her lips: “Please clear this matter, Young Miss. Tan Bawang turned black and white and purposely framed me. Knowing that he is here to drink tea, I have always carefully served him. I’m afraid that he will cause trouble for Bu Xian Luo again, but he said something to made jokes about me! For fear that he might cause chaos in Bu Xian Luo or affect other guests, I had been enduring in the dark, but unexpectedly, he had taken an inch from me and directing his attendants to do something nasty to me. When I was about to cry out for help, the attendant fell on the ground and foamed at the mouth....”

As Ming Yin spoke, she broke into tears. “I really don’t know what happened, and I didn’t poison the tea. Please help me and return my innocence, Young Miss....”

When everyone heard this, they couldn’t help but carefully size up Ming Yin. Only then did they notice that her clothes and hair were slightly disheveled, mainly her sleeves and the front of her clothes. The traces of pulling were too evident.

“That fellow Tan Bawang, who came last time to invert the truth. Now, his methods are becoming more and more vicious. He will surely be punished severely by Lord Zhao later!”

“Now that Cai Yue Pavilion teaches the embroidery needle techniques with substantial momentum, I’m afraid that if you want to punish him, you have to be cautious. Speaking of which, in the beginning, Miss Mu was kind-hearted, but her ability was limited. So, she didn’t care about her past grudges and entrusted Cai Yue Pavilion to spread the embroidery needle techniques so that more people could profit. However, he did not expect to make Cai Yue Pavilion like today, but in turn, they had oppressed. The owner of Cai Yue Pavilion clearly repays this kindness with his grievances!”

“Previously, the Shopkeeper of Cai Yue Pavilion had secretly let out some money and even forced out a person’s life. From this, we could see that Cai Yue Pavilion is not a good place. There might be other, even more, shameful activities.”

“Who knows?”

~ BU XIAN LUO DEVELOPMENT PLAN ~ 

Liu Liang raised his head, and his eyes looked eagerly at Mu Yunyao. “Mistress, everything was done willingly by me. Moreover, I signed a contract to sell my life, so my life naturally belongs to you. It’s good that I can use it to my fullest.”

He described his life as an object, but his expression didn’t change at all. It was as if he was only mentioning something completely meaningless, causing people to feel a chill in their hearts. Seeing the serious expression on his face, Mu Yunyao lightly sighed, “You don’t have to be like this. Although I don’t know your real name and identity, I can still guess a bit from your every move. Your background is not ordinary, and you might even return to your original path in the future. I bought you once, and you repay me with your loyalty. It had regarded as the most benevolent, and no more and no less.”

Liu Liang became more and more anxious: “My identity is your bodyguard, my name is Liu Liang. The way I want to go is to follow you and keep going forward...” He gave his life to return, and he was considered dead. Seeing him so anxious, Mu Yunyao smiled at him and said, “Alright, you helped me investigate the situation more carefully. It helped me a lot, so don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. Since I’m living so well today, I naturally care about my life a lot. Not to mention, Mother, who I want to protect and can’t bear to have an accident. You probably know about Fourth Master Ning’s identity from next door, right?”

Liu Liang nodded his head, “I know that Ginger Tea sent to Western Guangdong. I carefully asked for confirmation later on and guessed that Fourth Master Ning must be the Fourth Prince, Yue Wang.”

“That’s right. This time, Yue Wang will intervene in this matter. That’s a godly dragon that can overturn rivers and seas. At most, I can be considered a small fish. I won’t have my life on the line, so don’t worry.” When she found out that he had started meddling in Jiangnan, it further confirmed her guess that Yue Wang had always been working hard to develop his own power, and he might have made some achievements. At present, if he successfully intervenes in the salt tax, it was able to give him a foothold to climb upwards, helping him to go straight to the ninth heaven in one go.

“Yes.” Liu Liang agreed, silently making up his mind. Once something happened, he would definitely protect his Mistress at all costs.

After Yue Wang left, Mu Yunyao carefully calculated the days to see when he would come back. It was the first time she was looking forward to the return of an outsider.

Bu Xian Lou had gradually begun to spread. Even though the situation was unfolding, Steward Qin didn’t feel reassured. He found some time to invite Mu Yunyao to Jin Xiu Garden.

Yun Chun was exceptionally meticulous in brewing tea as he brought the teacup in front of Mu Yunyao.

After admiring her movements, Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but praise her, “Miss Yun Chun’s skills at making tea stupefied me. Sure enough, she’s teaching disciples and starving masters.”

Upon hearing Mu Yunyao’s praise, a trace of excitement flashed through Yun Chun’s eyes, “Many thanks to Young Miss for your affirmation, I will definitely work even harder.”

Steward Qin was also quite satisfied with Yun Chun. “According to the instructions of Miss Mu, the guests could designate which Si Cha to make tea. The guests who made appointments under the name of Yun Chun are already two months away. There will still be people fighting over a spot!”

“Then, Shopkeeper Qin, why don’t you give Yun Chun a few more money?” Mu Yunyao winked at Yun Chun as she spoke. “If Shopkeeper Qin really listens to me, then in the future, you must make me a few more pots of tea in the future.”

Yun Chun nodded quickly, “Yes, I will make tea for Miss Mu as long as she wants to drink.”

“That’s great. However, if I continue to take up your time, those guests will likely come knocking at my door.”

“Miss Mu, don’t make fun of me.” Yun Chun felt a little embarrassed.

“That’s right. Miss Mu shouldn’t tease Yun Chun.” Steward Qin indicated for Yun Chun to step down before saying to Mu Yunyao, “I’ve invited you here because I have some things I would like to discuss with you.”

“Please speak, Steward Qin.”

“In the past half-year, Bu Xian Luo has gradually opened up. However, I don’t have any clue as to how I should plan in the future. Therefore, I still need Miss Mu to layout and control it.”

Mu Yunyao thought for a moment before saying, “I can only come up with a few ideas, but I still need Steward Qin to arrange the details.”

“Okay, okay, no problem.” Mu Yunyao spoke, “For the past half-year, we have settled down in various cities in Jiangnan. However, if we spread the situation too big at once, we will not have enough money in our hands. On the other hand, it will take a lot of time to cultivate Si Cha (tea makers). If we are big but not refined, it will jeopardize the reputation of Bu Xian Lou, so it is still necessary to win steadily.”

“I wonder how we should settle this?”

“I think Yun Chun can already be on her own. Yangzhou City and Huai’an City are not far from Jingling City, and there is a river in the middle to communicate with each other. It’s more convenient if the next Bu Xian Luo opened in these two places.”

“Only two?”

“Since we want to improve, we can’t do it carelessly. First of all, in terms of silver, we have to buy two gardens about the size of Jin Xiu Garden. We need to renovate the garden, arrange tables and tea sets, and prepare various kinds of tea. It is necessary to get through the connections and train candidates for Si Cha. At least one place will cost nearly 100.000 taels of silver. If the scene is bigger, I am worried that we won’t be able to make ends meet.”

One place is 100.000 taels of silver, so we need 200.000 taels of silver. Now he can’t take so much money, and he couldn’t even afford to put up a show.

Steward Qin’s face was a bit embarrassed for a moment: “I thought about things too simple. Previously, Jin Xiu Garden was the foundation, and the staff was also provided by Fourth Master himself, so it didn’t cost much money.  It is naturally different if we want to make a fresh start, in addition, in different cities. The arrangement of scenery in each place and the selection of personnel require special attention. Thus, it takes more time.  More, it would already be difficult to prepare new teas by March or April.”

Steward Qin admired in his heart: “Miss Mu has thought it thoroughly.”

“After doing business for a long time, I gradually learn how to think about it. After a year, you can think it through even without me telling you. There is one other thing you need to pay extra attention to.”

“Please speak, Miss.”

“Even though the Emperor wrote Bu Xian Luo’s signboard, it would not attract the attention of others under normal circumstances. If it is too obvious, it is still troublesome to be seen by others. It would be best to let some people enter Huai’an City and Yangzhou City first and wait until Bu Xian Luo invites people to recruit staff to act as stewards. Then, gather people together again so that it is less noticeable. If you can, you can also appropriately find some local people. Most of the time, strong dragons don’t press down on the enemy, but rather, we can see how we can use them.”

Steward Qin hurriedly nodded his head, remembering this matter in his heart, “What Miss said is true. I will pay more attention.”

“Yes, if there is anything else, Steward Qin can send someone to inform me at any time.”
“Alright, with Miss Mu here, I don’t know how much trouble you’ve saved me. You are the honored person in Bu Xian Luo.” Steward Qin spoke with sincerity. Actually, he wanted to say whether she was a golden doll or the kind that was sparkling with pure gold.
