"Madam went out to buy silk today, and when she returned, a child suddenly rushed to the front of the carriage and threw a piece of firecracker at the horse."
"Child?"
"Yes, this servant went up to ask. It was just an ordinary family of farm children. The parents of the children rushed forward and kowtowed to admit their wrongs, so Madam didn't care anymore."
Mu Yunyao frowned, not to mention the reason why the child suddenly rushed in front of the horse carriage, just the fact of him being a firecracker was questionable. Even though Jiangnan was rich, ordinary people would not play firecrackers for their children without a new year.
Seeing that she was still worried, Su Qing comforted her: "Mother just accidentally twisted her leg a little, so it's alright."
Mu Yunyao immediately squatted down to check on Su Qing's ankles. It was only a little red and swollen, and couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. "Mother, you have been trying your best not to go out these past two days, I'm afraid this matter isn't as simple as it sounds."
"Alright."
With six taels not by his side and Mu Yunyao still not completely trust Si Qin and the others, he only kept this matter at the bottom of his heart and warned everyone in the Ni Yun Fang Workshop to be extra careful.
She suddenly woke up at night and smelled a burnt breath. As she put on her clothes, she ran out and woke Jin Lan and the others up, and when she got downstairs, she could already see the light of the fire.
Jin Lan and the others were already warned by Mu Yunyao, but they were able to hold on. The fire was not big, it just lit the drapes and made the walls black.
In the past few days, she had been exceptionally careful, reminding Jin Lan and the others to put some flammable fabrics and threads in their room. She carefully put them away, afraid that someone would not be able to control himself and set the Ni Yun Fang Workshop on fire.
Jin Lan and the rest did not dare make a sound, but Su Qing still limped down the stairs, interrupting Mu Yunyao's train of thoughts: "Mother, there's not much problem, why did you come downstairs?"
Seeing the burning curtain, and the water stains on the ground, Su Qing could not help but cover his chest: "Yao Er, those people are really too vicious."
"Mother, don't worry. In two days, I will have them return one by one!" Mu Yunyao said in a clear and cold voice. Her pair of black eyes were bottomless, as if all the light in her surroundings had been sucked in.
Hearing Mu Yunyao's words, Su Qing couldn't help but worry, "Yao Er, don't be too impulsive.
"Don't worry mother, I know what I'm doing."
When the Lady Jin found out about what happened in the Ni Yun Fang Workshop, she paid a visit to Yun Yao: "Yunyao, is there anything important?"
Mu Yunyao immediately stepped forward to welcome her. "Greetings Madam, I've made you worry. When I found you, I only burned the curtains a little and tidied it up a little."
Lady Jin frowned, "Where is your mother, is the injury serious?"
"It's just a twist of the foot, so it's fine." Mu Yunyao said as she led the Lady Jin to a seat, allowing him to serve some fruit tea, "Since Madam is pregnant, let's drink some fruit tea."
Lady Jin's expression couldn't help but loosen, "Seeing that you can keep it that way, I feel relieved. In other words, these two days will be better. "
Mu Yunyao nodded her head: "I am only so calm because of Madam's words." She was not someone who would lose out to others. Those people had injured Su Qing, so she would naturally need to repay them for this debt. Only, these words could not be said to the Lady Jin.
"In the next two days, I will send more people to guard around Ni Yun Fang Workshop. You guys should be more vigilant too, there is no better way." The people she sent did not notice that there were any suspicious people approaching the Ni Yun Fang Workshop, so they could not find any evidence.
"Thank you Madam."
After sending off the Lady Jin, Mu Yunyao leaned back on her chair and thought carefully. After thinking for a while, she suddenly got up and went back upstairs, picked up a pen and paper, and wrote a letter to the Prince Yue.
There was a thirty percent chance of the Prince Yue being one of them, and because of the frequent incidents that occurred here, the Prince Yue was almost burnt down by people. Naturally, he had to tell the Prince Yue that he knew about it, and other than that, he should also send some silvers over.
West Guangdong was very bitter. I heard that she didn't even get enough pay, so I'll just send some more silver over. In the future, I'll just slowly look for more to make up for it.
Steward Qin was surprised to see Mu Yunyao. At this point, her face was covered with fatigue and she looked a little pale: "Steward Qin, I have a letter that I want to send to Master Si.
"Of course it's convenient. Miss, what's the matter?"
Mu Yunyao laughed bitterly: "Nothing much, it's just that a lot of things have happened in the Ni Yun Fang Workshop recently. Last night, someone tried to set a fire in the Ni Yun Fang Workshop, but fortunately, they discovered it in time and thus did not cause any damage."
"There's actually such a thing?" No matter if Mu Yunyao and his highness could succeed in the future, at the moment, no matter what she did, she had helped prepare for the teahouse so that his highness could openly set up spies in Jiangnan. He also could not watch her get bullied, "Don't worry, Miss Mu, I will get my people to check as soon as possible, and if they find any news, they will definitely notify my lady immediately."
Mu Yunyao heaved a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Steward Qin."
In the next two days, when everything was calm and peaceful, Su Qing's worries that he had been hanging in the air were finally relieved.
On the third day, Mu Yunyao was called to Cao Mansion by the Lady Jin early: "Yunyao, we have obtained the exact information, the emperor's reward will be coming down today, Grand Coordinator Zhang has already brought the officials to receive them, and we will be going to the House of Guan later on, tidy up a bit, and do not be rude about it."
Mu Yunyao knew that the Lady Jin had good intentions, and had tidied up her makeup who knows how many times in the mirror as a result of the silver red. Her face was filled with joy, but her heart did not have much of a ripple.
She had worked hard for this day for a long time, and now that she got what she wanted, she only felt that it was natural.
Outside the Jingling City, a hundred man team was escorting two carriages of goods and stuff as they quickly entered the Jingling City.
The officials had been guarding the city gates for a long time. The streets had been locked down, and there were no longer any civilians walking about.
Grand Coordinator Zhang was at the head of the officials. When he saw the group stop, he immediately stepped forward.
"Greetings, Lord Zhang. I am indebted to Your Majesty for your grace. I am honored to be able to escort you." A young man dressed in light armor alighted and bowed towards Grand Coordinator Zhang. His face was like a crown jade, his figure was tall and straight, and a pair of phoenix eye s were like stars. Even though his entire body was covered in dust and armor, it still made people feel that he was extraordinary.
Cao Yunnian, who was standing amongst the officials, looked at this youth and sighed in his heart. Indeed, as expected of someone raised by the Su Family, to be promoted to a first-tier guard at the mere age of twenty by the Emperor to escort him on such an important mission, how could he possibly allow him to come?
Grand Coordinator Zhang led the young man to escort the Emperor's rewards all the way to the Patrol of the Household. The other officials at the side were smiling and accompanying them, but they couldn't stop glancing at the two carriages.
