The two of them ate some food. Mu Yunyao noticed that Su Qing was looking at her, so she couldn't help but blink. "Mother, what's wrong?"
Su Qing smiled, his expression seemed to be filled with regret: "Nothing much, I just feel happy in my heart."
Mu Yunyao thought she was talking about saving Nan'er today, so she couldn't help but ask, "Does mother like that kid, Nan'er, too?"
However, Su Qing shook her head. "Mother feels happy. It's not because she saved someone today, but because of you, Yao'er."
"Because of me?" Mu Yunyao didn't understand.
"That's right," Su Qing hesitated for a moment before taking Mu Yunyao's hand and slowly said, "Earlier, you told mother that you saw your entire life in a dream. Although you passed through many things, mother can imagine how you struggled and tried your best.
Seeing that there were tears in Su Qing's eyes, Mu Yunyao quickly comforted her, "Mother, you said that it was all just a dream. Perhaps the heavens pitied me, so they warned me in my dream so that I would know in advance what had happened.
Hearing Mu Yunyao's words, Su Qing's heart ached, "Yao`er, you don't have to lie to me. If it was just a dream, many things would have gone by in a flash. How could you have mastered embroidery techniques, as well as the art of tea and medical techniques.
Mu Yunyao's heart trembled. In her heart, she immediately thought of thousands of ways to conceal the truth. However, when she lifted her head to look at Su Qing's pained expression, she froze on the spot. "Mother …"
Su Qing reached out and pulled her into her embrace. "I am afraid that you will be affected by the events of your previous life. I am afraid that you will be filled with hatred for the Su Clan. I am afraid that the hatred will cause you to change your personality." Yao'er didn't become a cold-hearted and cold-blooded person. Instead, she became gentle and kind. This way, she would feel at ease.
Mu Yunyao leaned on Su Qing's chest, her tears falling. "As long as mother is here, I won't destroy myself because of hatred. That's why mother must live for a hundred years and accompany me forever." It was because of her mother that she was not controlled by the evil aura and left a soft place in her heart.
"Alright, mother will always be with you, so you must remember, although you don't need all the good intentions, you must at least have a clear conscience. Mother only needs you to be safe, and when I grow old, I will still enjoy your blessings!"
Mu Yunyao nodded heavily and put her arm around Su Qing's waist. She leaned on her bosom and said, "It's great that mother is here …"
Su Qing caressed her hair, her eyes filled with love. "Silly child."
Since the matter of her rebirth had already been guessed out by Su Qing, a huge stone in Mu Yunyao's heart fell to the ground, making her feel much more relaxed. First, she pestered Su Qing to eat Eight Treasures Rice, and then spent the night in her room, insisting on sleeping with her.
Mu Yunyao didn't mind in the slightest. Leaning against Su Qing, she felt exceptionally relieved.
After recuperating for a few days, Na'er and Ah Mao both woke up. However, their injuries had to be completely healed and they were afraid that they would have to rest for a few months.
"Miss, Manager Qin is here."
Mu Yunyao put down the book in her hands, "A few days ago I had said that I wanted to speak with Supervisor Qin, but in the end, my mother had talked to me and forgot about this matter. She invited Supervisor Qin to the parlour and prepared my things, then I went to the front yard to see him."
"Yes, miss."
"Greetings, Lady Mu."
"Steward Qin, there's no need to be so courteous. I was so busy these past few days that I forgot to look for you at the Embroidery Garden. I hope that Steward Qin can forgive me."
"It's nothing. If you have anything to tell me, just let me know."
After Mu Yunyao let Jin Lan and the others serve tea, she indicated for them to leave. She took a sip from her teacup, and after pondering for a moment, she said, "It seems that Supervisor Qin has reported the matter of me knowing King Yue's identity, right?"
"Please forgive me miss, I have indeed already reported it to King Yue. I believe that your highness should be receiving the letter soon."
In the past few days, I have been secretly thinking, that the reason why I was able to borrow from the prince's hands to open a tea house in the Garden of Embroidery and also take up forty percent of the profits was because the prince wanted to support me and didn't want to argue with me.
Steward Qin was surprised for a moment before he smiled: "Lady is too polite. You opened the Envy Pavilion to help the prince." If they were to become a family in the future, then there would be no need to be so calculative. It was unknown whether or not Elder Cheng would advise the king, but alas, he actually knew how to cause a ruckus blindly, but when it came to proper matters, he would not be able to help.
"It's like this. Seeing that the weather in Jiangnan has cooled down by the end of August, I'm afraid it's already very cold in western Guangdong."
Steward Qin nodded his head, "That's right. The west of Guangdong is suffering from a bitter cold. It's already snowing."
People who had never been to the west of Guangdong could never imagine the cruelty of the place. The current season could be considered better, after two months, the weather was so cold that it could freeze a person's blood. With every breath, his entire chest felt like it was being pierced by needles, and what was even more terrifying was that in winter, there were many places where there was not even a single blade of grass.
Mu Yunyao only heard the rumours but didn't know the specifics of the situation in Western Guangdong province. Seeing the solemn expression on Steward Qin's face, she couldn't help but think: "It's like this, in my hometown, you can cook ginger tea with ginger and rice noodles, and when you want to eat it, you only need to add hot water to boil it. It's not only convenient, it can also dispel the cold, but the thing is too ordinary, I don't know if you'd mind giving it up."
Chief Steward Qin's eyes lit up, "I wonder, does Lady Jiang have any ginger tea? Can I have a bowl of it? "
"Jin Lan, bring me the things I prepared." Mu Yunyao instructed the door, and Jin Lan immediately brought a bowl of hot water.
Steward Qin hurriedly looked over and saw a handful of slightly yellow rice noodles in the bowl. He could vaguely tell that there were green onions, green vegetables and leaves inside. With just a whiff, a fragrant smell wafted over.
Mu Yunyao personally poured the hot water into a bowl and stirred it with a silver spoon. Not long after, a bowl of rice noodles turned into a bowl of porridge.
Chief Steward Qin did not care about being scalded. He picked up the bowl and took a light breath. The fragrance of salty rice carried with it the perfect taste of ginger. The originally dried vegetables were now unwrapped.
"Lady, how much is this ginger tea worth?" Steward Qin was excited. He had lived with His Highness in western Guangdong for five years and had seen the cruelty of that place. This bowl of ginger tea, in the winter, might be able to save a person's life.
