Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 181

~ 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.

~ WEALTH COMES FROM DANGER ~ 

Mu Yunyao slightly lowered her gaze, the corners of her mouth still smiling: “Then, I wish Fourth Master a pleasant journey there.” Yue Wang sized up Mu Yunyao and wanted to say something, “In the next few days, Bu Xian Luo should be open for business. Even if you are prepared, you must temporarily avoid the sharpness of Cai Yue Pavilion and should not be impulsive for a while. For Bu Xian Luo, let Steward Qin help to take care of it. Uncle Qin is a loyal person, and as long as he takes the accounts, he will definitely not lie to you. That way, you can free up some time to pay more attention to your rest.” 

Mu Yunyao’s heart slightly trembled, but her expression remained calm. “Many thanks to Fourth Master for your guidance.” 

“In another two months, the Imperial Court will issue Cao Yunnian’s transfer order. This time, he will transfer directly to the Capital, and the next person to take over his position should be Li Munian.” 

Mu Yunyao raised her head, puzzled. “Li Munian? With the Li family as his backing, how could he take a look at a small fourth-grade salt transportation envoy in Jingling City?” 

Too much talk! 

Mu Yunyao bit the tip of her tongue the moment she said this. She thought it was not good: She was too surprised just now, and she actually revealed Li Munian’s identity in one go. What would Yue Wang think? 

Yue Wang was a little surprised. He never expected that Mu Yunyao would know of the identity after he only said the name. Hasn’t she been to the Capital before? Why did he feel that she knew so much about the powers within the Imperial Court? Although he was perplexed, he had no intention of inquiring about it. 

“That’s right. Li Munian is the youngest son of Prime Minister Li Qingzhou. He was born with outstanding talent and would never have come to Jingling City, but who told it to be so bustling during this half a year?” 

Seeing that Yue Wang did not pursue the matter, Mu Yunyao heaved a sigh of relief. “Although there are Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo here, it’s just a small matter to the Li family. I presume it’s not enough for the Li family to send people down here.” 

Yue Wang looked at Mu Yunyao in admiration. “Indeed, it’s not only because of that but also because of Cai Yue Pavilion and Jiangnan Salt Tax.” 

“Salt tax?” Mu Yunyao’s pupils constricted. Wasn’t the reason why Jiangnan was so prosperous today because of the salt industry? She is earning a lot of money now, but compared to the salt merchant, the amount of silver taels that they have extracted is much more. 

“Well, the salt tax is verified every three years. After a while, it will be time for salt tax verification. It just so happens that when Cao Yunnian transferred away, the Li family will take the opportunity to intervene in Jiangnan. Every time they check on the salt tax, Jiangnan will be in turmoil, and if the people who verify are a little bit more relaxed, then the entire Jiangnan will be in high spirits. If you tighten your hands a little bit, it will be a river of blood. In that case, what you’re doing right now has nothing to do with salt tax, so you should be safe.” 

Mu Yunyao involuntarily bit her lips, her eyes shining with a frightening light. 

When Yue Wang saw her expression, he frowned: “What are you thinking?” 

Mu Yunyao’s lips curved into a brilliant smile as her eyes sparkled like the stars. “Wang Ye, success comes from the basics, wealth comes from danger, are you brave enough?” 

Yue Wang narrowed his eyes and immediately understood her plan. “Moving the salt. But it is a grave crime in the nine tribes!” 

“Isn’t there Wang Ye here? With you here, I think my head will be firmly resting on my neck.” Mu Yunyao smiled. She was even more radiant and enchanting than a flower that had bloomed on a spring day. 

Hearing this, Yue Wang suddenly felt extremely comfortable in his heart, and the corners of his lips rose unnoticeably. 

Seeing that he didn’t make a sound, Mu Yunyao thought Yue Wang was still pondering and couldn’t help but persuade him again. “Wang Ye, Don’t you also need silver too?  Although I have not been in Jiangnan for long, I know about the salt tax, which there are three officials salt and seven privates salt. We do not use official salt, we only use private salt, and we are not greedy. As long as you have a batch, it will be enough for you to develop your forces in Western Guangdong and cultivate them. If you are lucky in the future, you can use gold to build a golden bed, which is the place where you sleep every day!” 

The corners of Yue Wang’s lips moved slightly: “I need quite a bit of silver taels.” 

“No matter how much you ask me, I can get it out for you!” Mu Yunyao’s eyes lit up as she looked at Yue Wang with a fiery gaze. If she could successfully interfere with the matter of salt tax, then the silver would be enough to bury the entire Jingling City, and she could take as much as she wanted. As long as Yue Wang is willing to help, let her give the silver to Yue Wang to play. 

Yue Wang’s heart feels more and more comfortable, but he put on a complicated expression. 

“Wang Ye, you must not lose this opportunity. If you don’t intervene this time, I’m afraid you will have to wait for three years. Now the situation is changing rapidly. How many years can we wasted?” 

After finally enjoying enough of Mu Yunyao’s gaze, Yue Wang raised his head, his deep eyes brimming with vigor, “Alright, I agree.” If he didn’t consent, wouldn’t it mean that he was inferior to a girl in terms of courage? Moreover, he desperately needed an enormous number of silver taels.

Mu Yunyao happily clapped. “Since that’s the case, then we’ll have to make preparations in advance. We’ll have to trouble Wang Ye to help look up information regarding the salt tax.” 

“Alright. I’ll let you know when I get the news, but it will be a few months now. I need to go back to Western Guangdong to arrange things. You can reopen Ni Yun Fang safely in Jingling City. After that, Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Lou will be your foundation. Do you understand?” 

Mu Yunyao was happy in her heart, and she didn’t feel distant from Yue Wang’s attitude. “Alright, I’ll remember it.” 

When they returned home, Mu Yunyao immediately called out Liu Liang, “Liu Liang, how many people do you have that you can use?” 

“Mistress, there are 68 trustworthy people, and 370 people are available.” The remaining personnel that could be deployed and utilized were too numerous to be counted. 

Mu Yunyao was surprised, “I really didn’t notice that you actually have this kind of talent. It just so happens that you might be able to help me out a lot this time.” 

“Mistress, if there’s anything you need, feel free to tell me.” He had worked hard in secret so that he could be useful. It would be great if he could help. 

“This year, the imperial government will check the salt tax. Jiangnan will definitely be disturbed by this, especially those salt merchants. You will help me pick out a few big salt merchants and then keep an eye on them. If there’s any movement, report it immediately.” 

Liu Liang’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Mistress, the salt tax is too deep. If we set foot in easily, I’m afraid it would be difficult.” 

“Of course, I know the depth of the salt tax, but no matter how deep the water is, it won’t drown the fish. We still have a few more months to prepare, so all we need to do is turn ourselves into a fish so that we can face the wind and make waves in the water!” 

She already had quite a bit of silver in her possession, so accumulating a few hundred thousand taels of silver in a year was not a problem. However, this amount of silver was far from being enough to make her feel at ease. Now, the salt tax had given her a chance. As long as she could successfully intervene, she would be able to rest assured. 

Silver taels can’t compare to power. However, when the amount of silver had reached a certain level, you can use it as power. Jiangnan salt tax is the hugest money bag in Dali Dynasty. As long as you can insert it into your hand, the silver taels will be able to jump into your palm directly. How could she not be tempted? 

After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, “Mistress, leave this matter to me. I will follow Mistress’s instructions and handle it appropriately.” Mu Yunyao said with a smile, “Liu Liang, since I’ve decided to do this, I naturally know the risks involved. Although I’m also afraid of death, I haven’t used the lives of others to take risks for me.” She was not a kind person. Otherwise, she would not wholeheartedly want to take revenge on Jin Wang and the Su family. However, she did not lose her conscience and used others to fill her life.

~ THE OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT OF CAI YUE PAVILION ~  

Yue Wang’s expression a bit stunned, and he didn’t come back to his senses until she placed the bowls and chopsticks in front of him. The bowl was large, the broth clear and bright, and each strand of the noodle was white like snow. The fragrance was light and elegant, with a scalding hot green vegetable leaf in the center. It was simple and delicate, but the aroma was strong. 

Yue Wang took a sip, his eyes lighting up a little as he quickly finished the bowl of noodles in silence. There was not even any leftover broth left. Mu Yunyao has been watching his movements, and his expression is cold. Even when he ate the most ordinary noodles, his every move carried an elegant noble aura, as if he was holding a delicacy in his hand. His eyes, however, were notably pleasant to look at, and under the candlelight, it was as if there were millions of stars hidden in the night sky. It can make people unable to stop themselves from indulging and explore. 

Just as he was about to speak, he heard a few birds chirping from outside the window. It was Yu Heng who had sent him a message. He was confirming that Cao Yunnian, Eunuch Li, and the rest had left. 

Mu Yunyao smiled. “This bird cry is actually particularly lifelike. It’s just that birds can’t chirp at this time of the year.” 

“It’s Yu Heng.” 

“Then, I don’t want to keep Fourth Master Ning’s time.” Mu Yunyao stood up to pay her respects. The intent to send him off was notably obvious. 

Yue Wang then stood up, looked at the empty bowl, and said: “Thank you very much.” 

“Fourth Master Ning is too courteous. It’s only a bowl of noodles. You don’t have to take it as much.” 

Yue Wang then shook his head, and without saying a word, he opened the door and left. At the side door, Steward Qin was waiting with a lantern in his hand. Now Jin Xiu Garden had also closed. The previously lively crowd had left, leaving only the lanterns in the garden. Although they were so beautiful, they were somewhat lonely. 

“I didn’t expect that there were so many people that I forgot to give food to Wang Ye when I was busy. Wang Ye must be hungry now. Since I’ve already prepared food, Wang Ye can eat it when going back.” 

“No need, I’ve already eaten.” 

Steward Qin suddenly understood: “Miss Mu is still the most considerate one. Does Wang Ye not want to eat anything else? This old servant has personally made a bowl of longevity noodles. You have to taste it. After all, today is your birthday.” 

The edge of Yue Wang’s lips lifted slightly. His smile carried an indescribable coldness. “I’m afraid that only you and Uncle Cheng are still worried about my birthday.” His Royal Father had long forgotten about him, let alone his birthday. 

Looking at his appearance, Steward Qin also felt uncomfortable in his heart: Wang Ye is really too bitter. If he was an ordinary person, he is afraid that his mind would collapse and become depressed long ago. It was unknown when Miss Mu would be able to connect her heart with his own so that she could share some of the pain and suffering on his body. 

“Wang Ye, you should go back. If the noodles are cold, it won’t taste good anymore.” 

When he returned to his room, Steward Qin hurriedly served the noodles. Yue Wang took a bite and raised his head to say: “I just ate a bowl of noodles too, and it’s better than Uncle Qin’s cooking skills.” 

Steward Qin was stunned for a moment before a smile spread across his face: “My cooking skills are quite rough, so of course, I can’t compare with Miss Mu.” 

Yue Wang pursed his lips again, his smile much warmer than before. Previously when he expressed his thanks, Mu Yunyao had only said that it was only a bowl of noodles. She didn’t think much of it, but she didn’t know that this bowl of noodles held much meaning to him today. 

Mu Yunyao rested for one night, and when she woke up the next day, she was completely relieved of discomfort. In the early morning, she proposed to Su Qing some dishes so someone could prepare them. Su Qing busied herself with counting the things bestowed by the Emperor. She couldn’t do anything about it, so she could only casually say a few things. When it was noon, she discovered that the table was full of things, and Jin Lan, Jin Qiao, and others were all smiling. When she walked in, they took care of her with extra thoughtful care. Even after washing her hands, someone would do it for her. 

Mu Yunyao brought the last dish. “Mother, I’m in a good mood today, so I’ve decided to give Jin Lan and the rest another month’s worth of money. What do you say?” 

Su Qing understood that she wanted to use this method to accumulate her fortune. Naturally, she would not refuse it. “Alright, whatever you say.” 

Mu Yunyao turned to the direction of Jin Lan and the others. “You’ve received your monthly fees again, so you’ll have to put in a lot of hard work in the coming days. Ni Yun Fang has been resting for so long, and it is time to reopen. You will be busy at that time.” 

“Yes. Please rest assured, Miss.” 

After a delightful meal, Mu Yunyao began to embroider a new beauty booklet. 

A few days later, news came from Cai Yue Pavilion. Tan Lin had already started teaching embroidery needle techniques in various places. When the news spread out, Cai Yue Pavilion immediately became famous for a while. 

On this day, Mu Yunyao was chatting with Ding Yuelan. They thought about what kind of clothes will they design in the future. Then she saw Jin Qiao hastily running over, “Report to Miss and Madam Ding. Cai Yue Pavilion, which happened previously sealed, had reopened. Many people had invited to come over to support them.” 

Mu Yunyao and Ding Yuelan looked at each other and laughed without care, “If you’re willing to open it, then let him open it, and it won’t affect us.” 

“Miss, many people now say that the achievements of Cai Yue Pavilion are greater than those of Ni Yun Fang. They also say that before long, the Emperor will also write down a golden signboard to reward Cai Yue Pavilion.” 

“It’s also their good fortune to receive the Emperor’s reward. We can’t do anything about it, so we’ll wait and see the changes.” Mu Yunyao’s mood still didn’t fluctuate at all. 

“Miss, how can you not be anxious? We have an old grudge with Cai Yue Pavilion. If they rise to prominence, wouldn’t that Tan Banwang come back to cause trouble for us? Cai Qing, Nan’er, and the rest will definitely found, and they will give an excuse to punish them.” 

Mu Yunyao smiled and said, “Then pay close attention to the news from Cai Yue Pavilion these few days. If there is really something, we can also take precautions in advance.” 

Jin Qiao nodded with a heavy heart, “Ok. If there’s anything, I’ll report it to Miss immediately.” 

After the new year, the people who had relaxed for a few days were busy in the business again. The reputation of Cai Yue Pavilion’s for taught the embroidery needle technique quickly spread like wildfire. Everyone learned about it within a few days. 

Jin Lan walked in. “Miss. Shopkeeper Qin came over just now to ask for an audience. He said that he wanted to invite you to visit Bu Xian Luo to take a look at the newly bought tea set.” 

Mu Yunyao put down the embroidery needle in her hand and slightly nodded. “I understand. I’ll go after I change my clothes.” Presumably, Yue Wang had also received the news and wanted to ask her about this. 

“Yes.” 

After changing her clothes and coming to Bu Xian Luo, Steward Qin immediately led her to Yue Wang’s study. 

Mu Yunyao had a gentle smile on her face as she respectfully bowed. “Greetings, Fourth Master.” 

“No need to be so polite. Please take a seat.” 

“Is Fourth Master going to ask me about the matter with Cai Yue Pavilion?” Having settled all the matters behind her, so Mu Yunyao went straight to the point. 

“Cai Yue Pavilion? Don’t you already start to deal with it, and you don’t need my help, right?” Yue Wang looked at Mu Yunyao, his eyes warm. 

Mu Yunyao was slightly surprised. “I thought that Fourth Master wanted to ask about the matter of Cai Yue Pavilion by hastily calling me over. It seems that I’ve misunderstood!” Yue Wang was silent for a moment before he slowly said: “Tomorrow, I will be leaving. I wanted to go to Su’s residence to say my goodbyes. But I think it’s too abrupt for me to go to Su’s residence. Therefore, I asked Steward Qin to invite you here because I wanted to bid you farewell.”

~ BU XIAN LOU DURING THE LANTERN FESTIVAL ~ 

Eunuch Li, who used to see the bustling in the Capital, was fascinated by the beautiful scenery ahead of him.

“Bu Xian Luo, it really lives up to its reputation. It’s beautiful. It’s really too beautiful!” 

Mu Yunyao, who was wearing a moon-white dress, walked over slowly. The various lanterns shone upon her dress, causing her clothes to appear slightly red. Her originally beautiful face now looked even more gorgeous and adding a bit of national beauty. In particular, there was a flower in the hair, and it was slightly shaking as she walked. It was falling beside her ear like a divine brush, adding a bit of splendor to her movement.

“Greetings, Father. Greetings, Eunuch Li.”

Eunuch Li praised. If Miss Mu were to come to the Capital one day, it would arouse the jealousy of countless noble young ladies. Her disposition was graceful and elegant temperament, and she was indeed beautiful and fresh. “Miss Mu is too polite. I came to Bu Xian Luo today and realized that the past Lantern Festival was all vain.”

“The stanzas are all empty.”

“The Lord praises like this, really makes Yunyao flattered. Please come in, and have tea.”

In Jin Xiu Garden, only elegant Si Cha (tea maker) was there, unlike other places had dancers and troupes invited to attract people’s eyes. 

However, no one thought that Si Cha in Bu Xian Luo was thin and weak. But instead, they had a unique atmosphere, which makes people feel they more elegant than others.

Mu Yunyao led the way to the azure stone stage. There were curtains around the area and a stove in the middle. Every seat was covered with a light fur cushion, allowing people to enjoy the beautiful scenery to their heart’s content while not feeling the slightest bit cold.

With an esteemed guest present, Mu Yunyao naturally made the tea herself. Eunuch Li looked at her every move like flowing water. He couldn’t help but look straight at her: “No wonder my Master was so full of praise for Miss Mu’s craftsmanship skills. Not only Miss Mu’s embroidery and needlework superb, but her tea-making skills are also excellent.”

“Thank you for the praise, My Lord.” Mu Yunyao brought the brewed teacup in front of the two and lightly raised her hand, “Please.” Eunuch Li carefully opened the teacup, anticipating to see the magical sight of plants and flowers in the cup that Xu Li had praised before, but he didn’t expect to see the leaves in the cup unfold. Under the light of the lanterns around him, it seemed like a silent landscape painting. He was about to observe carefully, but he saw the leaves spread gently, and the landscape painting gradually melted away, causing one to be unable to refrain from sighing along with it.

“Miss Mu is truly amazing. Her skills in brewing tea have improved once again, right?” The landscape was naturally more difficult than flowers and plants.

“Just a small trick, nothing grand.”

“Miss Mu is too modest.” If this were just a small trick, then those ladies of the Capital who proclaimed themselves to be the most gifted and talented would probably die from shame. Eunuch Li measured the tea broth, which was clear and bright like a piece of jade. He took a small sip and felt the rich and sweet fragrance, the slight bitterness in his mouth, a little bit of sweetness in his throat, and the lingering fragrance in his mouth. “Good tea, it’s really great tea! Miss Mu may give me some alone and let me have it too.”

Mu Yunyao smiled slightly and said, “it’s cold in winter. I’ll have to trouble you to come all the way here. Your portion has naturally prepared before.”

“Thank you, Miss Mu.”

“My Lord, you are too polite.”

After finishing the tea, Mu Yunyao withdrew, and Cao Yunnian continued to lead Eunuch Li to admire the beautiful scenery of Jin Xiu Garden.

When she returned home, Nan’er was carrying a small orange lantern and playing crazily in the courtyard. When he saw Mu Yunyao, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, “Greetings, Miss. Madam is currently accompanying Lady Jin in the hall to speak. Miss can directly head over.”

“Be careful. Don’t run into others.”

“Yes, I will bring Ah Mao and Li’er to play in a nearby corner.”

“Go.”

After visiting Lady Jin and accompanying her for a while, Mu Yunyao finally relaxed after sending them off. She couldn’t help but rub her forehead. “This day is really exhausting.”

“Does Yao’er feel uncomfortable?”

“It’s nothing. Mother, you don’t have to worry. You can rest for the night.”

“I left some food for you, and I’ll bring it to you when it’s warm. Eat some more before you go to rest.”

Mu Yunyao held her cheeks as she looked at Su Qing, “Mother, tomorrow is your birthday, right? We will book two tables at Jin Xiu Garden. Even if we don’t invite anyone, it will still be lively.”

Su Qing quickly shook her head, “No need. I don’t know the exact date of my birth. Although I don’t remember everything that happened when I was young, I know that I’m not my parents’ biological child. This birthday is only the day they found me. It’s meaningless to live with it.”

Hearing up to this point, Mu Yunyao felt a little sad. “If Mother said like that, then it’s fine. Tomorrow, I’ll personally cook and make yummy food for you to eat.”

Although Su Qing was somewhat at a loss, she was already used to it and did not think much of it. “Then I must think carefully about what to eat tomorrow. It will not be easy for you to cook next time.”

“Alright, let Mother think about it. As long as you can think of it, I will be able to do it. I definitely won’t disappoint you.”

“It’s getting late. You should hurry up and eat something before going back to rest to avoid any recurrence of the cold.”

“Yes.”

After finishing her meal, Mu Yunyao returned to her room. When she reached the door and saw the darkness in the room, she suddenly remembered that Yue Wang should still be inside.

“Jin Lan, you’ve been guarding in the outer room for the past few days, and you haven’t had a good rest. Now that I’ve completely recovered, you can go back to your room to rest.”

“Miss, please be extra careful at night. Don’t open the window tonight.”

“Alright, I’ll go in myself. You can leave now.”

Seeing Mu Yunyao’s assured expression, Jin Lan knew that there was no point in speaking any further and passed the lantern over after answering.

She entered the room, and before she could move forward, the candle was light.

Only now did Mu Yunyao realize that Yue Wang was actually sitting at the table, “It’s all my fault for not being considerate. Please forgive me, Fourth Master.” Since she was not in her room, she would naturally not light the lamp at night. Since Yue Wang was here, he could only sit quietly in the darkness.

“Nothing, did Eunuch Li and the rest leave?”

“He should still be enjoying the scenery in Jin Xiu Garden.”

Yue Wang nodded his head, his fingers moved slightly, “Then I can only stay a little longer.”

Mu Yunyao didn’t think it, but she actually feels a little uncomfortable now. Mu Yunyao sat on a chair at the side and suddenly thought of a question: “Does Fourth Master have anything to eat tonight?”

Yue Wang was silent, and the expression on his face seemed to become even colder.

“If that’s the case… Wang Ye, please wait for a moment. I will go to the kitchen and come back soon.”

At this moment, there was no one in the kitchen. Fortunately, Mu Yunyao had already gotten used to cooking at Xiayan Village, so she quickly lit a fire and added water to the pot.

Time was running out, and she didn’t have time to make anything delicate, so she could only cook the noodles. 

After waiting for about half an hour, Yue Wang heard the sound of footsteps from outside the door. The look in his eyes unconsciously softened for a moment. “It’s already too late, and I don’t know what to do while I’m in a hurry, so I only cooked a bowl of noodles. Please don’t mind, Fourth Master.”
