That night, the officials of the Grand Coordinator Zhang and the others had all turned white. They sent out all their men to investigate the reason behind the fire in the Ni Yun Fang Workshop.
At that time, with so many people present, everyone could see the thick and heavy bronze lock on the entrance of the Ni Yun Fang Workshop. Everyone was already discussing about it now, saying that someone was plotting to kill Mu Yunyao, not only did they set fire to it in the middle of the night, they had even locked the door to prevent anyone from escaping.
Most of the citizens of Jingling City had benefited from the embroidery needling technique, so if they did not quickly investigate this matter, even the citizens would not agree!
The next morning, Lady Jin rushed over to Mu Yunyao's home. Su Qing had just finished cooking the Eight Treasures Rice for him, and upon seeing him, he immediately revealed a happy expression. Although it was a forced look, it was sincere: "Greetings Lady Jin, I heard from Yao Er, it is inconvenient for you now, I have to trouble you to come all the way here, I thank Madam on behalf Yao Er's behalf."
Lady Jin stepped forward and held Su Qing's hand, her face filled with pain and anxiety: "Yun Yao is intelligent and considerate, and has helped me many times. Is Yun Yao awake now? "
"She just woke up and wanted to eat Eight Treasures Rice. I just cooked it and was about to deliver it to her!"
"That's great. I'll go take a look at her."
Mu Yunyao was leaning against the side of the bed, lost in thought, and upon hearing the footsteps at the door, she immediately smiled sweetly and called out to the door: "Mother, is the Eight Treasures Rice ready? Your Yao Er is starving to death! "
Su Qing smiled somewhat helplessly at the Lady Jin: "Yao Er has always had such a personality, please excuse me."
Lady Jin was startled, she never thought that Mu Yunyao, who was usually meticulous and thorough, would actually have such a childish time. Looking at the doting smile on Su Qing's face, she could not help but feel a little envious, if she had a daughter like him, he would probably spoil her to the heavens as well.
Hearing Su Qing's voice, only then did Mu Yunyao realize that Lady Jin had also come. Her face immediately revealed some embarrassment, and she got up to get off the bed to pay her respects.
Lady Jin hurriedly entered the room to stop Mu Yunyao: "Quickly lie down, why are you still being courteous at this time? When I heard Master Cao say that you were severely injured, and nearly fell down from the sky, just listening to his made my heart jump in fear.
Mu Yunyao did not force herself to get up either. "I've made madam worried, I'm fine. I only suffered some superficial wounds, just enough to recuperate."
At this moment, her face was pale and she wore a snow-white robe, making her look even more petite and slender. Her palm-sized face was so pale that it made one's heart ache.
Lady Jin was holding her hands, they were covered with white cloth and blood was seeping out from them. She looked pained as she said, "My family has an ointment to treat burns, if you use it for a while longer, the scar will be weakened. When I return, I will pack it up and have Silver Red send it over to you.
Mu Yunyao lowered her head slightly, the light in her eyes dimmed. "I wasn't able to find out who set the fire earlier, and now that it's in the middle of the night, I'm afraid it'll be hard to find a trace of it."
"Don't worry. Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground this time, we will definitely find the murderer!" Lady Jin's tone was especially resolute.
Mu Yunyao nodded, and smiled gratefully to the Lady Jin: Thank you Madam.
"Recuperate well. I'm still waiting to wear the clothes you made!"
"Yes, for the sake of Madam, I need to heal my injuries as soon as possible."
"Rest well, I'll come see you another day." Lady Jin stopped Mu Yunyao from standing up and sending her off.
Walking out of the courtyard and sitting in the carriage, Lady Jin had a pained expression on her face. The silver red light on the side helped her cushion the headrest, and upon seeing his expression, she couldn't help but say: "Madam has treated Miss Mu really well."
Lady Jin gently stroked his stomach, sighing with emotion: "Then she was still worth it."
Because the Cao Mansion was the closest to the Ni Yun Fang Workshop, Grand Coordinator Zhang and Su Qingwu's group gathered there. Seeing that the Lady Jin had returned, everyone's eyes were filled with anxiety.
"Greetings Lord Zhang, Lord Su is here …"
"Madam, there is no need to be so courteous. I am sorry to bother you to come over so early in the morning. How is Miss Mu doing?" Grand Coordinator Zhang was the first to ask.
Lady Jin's expression was solemn, she shook her head before saying anything: "Such a delicate and weak little girl like her, going through a big fire in the middle of the night and almost falling down from the stairs, shocked and frightened to the point that her life fell into half, the situation is really not good."
When the Grand Coordinator Zhang heard this, his expression became even more anxious. "I'll have to trouble Lady Jin to run twice more and find the best doctor in the entire Jingling City. I must ensure that the Miss Mu is safe and sound!"
"Yes, but Miss Mu's hands are severely injured. Originally, her hands were injured, but this time, she escaped down with the cloth rope, so her hands can't even be seen anymore. Even if she invited the best doctor in Jingling City, I'm afraid that she would also …" Lady Jin did not finish, but everyone present understood the meaning of her words.
Mu Yunyao was an expert in embroidery. Embroidery was a skill of the hand, so once her finger was injured, how could she hold back on embroidery in the future?
Grand Coordinator Zhang was sweating anxiously, "Let's try our best to cure him. We can do whatever we can to get to the best of our abilities."
Su Qingwu's expression did not change in the slightest, but the hand in his sleeve tightened slightly as the scene of Mu Yunyao falling from the top of the stairs into his embrace involuntarily appeared before his eyes.
His body was in a sorry state, his face was pale, and the crafty light in his eyes was exceptionally dim. When people looked at him, they couldn't help but feel their heart ache.
"Lord Zhang, Master Cao, this matter must be reported to the Emperor. I hope the two sirs can find out what happened as soon as possible."
"Please rest assured Lord Su, we will investigate this as soon as possible."
Just as he was saying that, an official who had been sent to investigate rushed in to report: "Reporting to the various Masters, I have found some clues. The bronze lock that is locked on the Ni Yun Fang Workshop's door was bought by someone from the Ding Family's shop."
"Ding Family?" Grand Coordinator Zhang immediately stood up, with an indescribable light in his eyes, "Speaking of which, the only one who has a conflict with Ni Yun Fang Workshop in the recent period of time is Ding Family!"
Su Qingwu asked: "A conflict with the Ni Yun Fang Workshop? Who is this Ding Family? "
Grand Coordinator Zhang immediately explained in detail what happened to Ding Family, and his tone faintly brought up the matters of Mausoleum of Books and proclaim. Even though he did not say it clearly, everyone present understood what he meant!
Cao Yunnian did not say anything at the side. He and Ziling both knew that there were no interactions between them, but they had a deep grudge with proclaim, and now that he was on the same side as Grand Coordinator Zhang, and Grand Coordinator Zhang wanted to use this opportunity to eliminate the other, he did not take the opportunity to add insult to injury.
Su Qingwu held up the teacup and took a small sip, "Since the Grand Coordinator Zhang has a suspect, then let's quickly investigate this and find out the truth. This way, we can give the emperor an explanation."
The Grand Coordinator Zhang was overjoyed. Su Qingwu's attitude was equivalent to tacit agreement with his thoughts, "I will quickly go investigate. Within three days, I will definitely give Lord Su a result."
After exiting the Main Hall, Lady Jin returned to the backyard, the smile in her eyes became even wider.
"Madam, I heard that this servant found some clues?"
"Not only have I found some clues, but it looks like I'll be able to come to a conclusion soon."
"Old master acts swiftly and decisively. I am truly impressed!"
"This time, it's not because of Master, it's because of Lord Zhang's guidance."
Lady Jin pursed her lips, her mood extremely good. Your Grand Coordinator Zhang had said that he wanted to give Su Qingwu a result within three days, which also means that you must either investigate this matter clearly within three days and find out the real culprit, or else learn from him and his proclaim would be the result he wanted to give.
Moreover, the Grand Coordinator Zhang was more inclined to the second method. Without the proclaim, the old master's heart would be at ease.
