Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

Chapter 144

Provoke The Su Family Again

After more than ten days of bustling, a caravan departed from Jingling City under the guise of transporting tea leaves, heading westward towards Yuxi City, which was the closest city to Western Guangdong .

Steward Qin had finished his business with the ginger tea and was once again focusing on Bu Xian Luo . The signboard made by copying the Emperor's calligraphy finally sent over after being meticulously carved by over a dozen craftsmen . In order to show her respect, Mu Yunyao discussed with him and specially selected a good day . She also invited Cao Yunnian and the rest to put out the 1000 echo firecrackers . After it fired, the signboard of Bu Xian Luo was hanging up solemnly! Such a great scene naturally attracted more than half of the people from Jingling City come to watch . Mu Yunyao announced that she would spend the next half a month's worth of the profits from Bu Xian Luo to buy grain and give it to the lonely, elderly, and children who were born with a difficult family background as an expression of her gratitude to the Emperor . This expression naturally drew a voice of praise .

During this time, the head of the Ci You Bureau came to see Cai Qing and wanted to bring her back . However, after hearing that she had signed a contract, he cursed her for being heartless and left bitterly .

Cai Qing knew that Mu Yunyao was very disgusted with her previous actions, so she didn't intentionally approach her . Instead, after cleaning up the residence, she focused on learning the embroidery needle technique under Lady Ding . Her talent wasn't bad, and she had even grasped half of it before, and it's still pretty good . Nan'er's injuries were already sufficient to get out of bed . Every day, he would follow behind Mu Yunyao, hoping to help her a little . However, seeing that he was coughing at every turn, Jin Lan was so shocked that she hurriedly sent him back to his room . There were so many times a day . After three or four days, Jin Lan couldn't take it anymore and complain to Mu Yunyao .

After Mu Yunyao called Nan'er over to give him a careful warning and she finally made him give up on the thought of helping her . He could only concentrate on recuperating his body and wait for his body to recover before repaying her properly .

After the Double Ninth Festival was over, the weather had clearly turned cold . When Mu Yunyao had changed into some clothes and was preparing to leave, Su Qing chased after her and made her put on an emerald embroidered cloak .

The light of emerald embroidered cloak made Mu Yunyao's face turn even paler . Her face was like tender tofu, causing Su Qing to reach out and touch her cheek . "Hurry up and greet Lady Jin on my behalf . You must be careful on the way . "

Mu Yunyao intimately rubbed her hands against Su Qing's and smiled with her eyes curved, "Yes . Please don't worry, Mother . I will be back soon . "

This morning, Lady Jin had sent someone to invite her . Mu Yunyao didn't dare to delay when she saw the maid's anxious expression . After changing her clothes, she took a carriage to the Cao family's residence .

Yin Hong was anxiously waiting at the door . Seeing Mu Yunyao come down, she hurriedly went up to pay her respects, "Greetings, Miss Mu . You're finally here . Madam is waiting for you inside!"

Seeing Yin Hong's face turn ugly, Mu Yunyao was shocked . She quickly followed her to the backyard .

In the room, Lady Jin was lying on the bed with a pale face while Cao Yunnian watched anxiously by the side .

As soon as she entered the room, she smelt the scent of medicine . Mu Yunyao could not help but furrow her brows, but upon seeing Cao Yunnian, she immediately knelt down . "Greetings, Lord Cao . "

"Miss Mu, please don't be polite . Please help me to take a look at Madam . "

Mu Yunyao didn't care about being polite and hurriedly went up to take Lady Jin's pulse .

Maybe because Lady Jin heard Mu Yunyao's voice, she opened her eyes and firmly held her hand . "Yunyao, what's the matter with the child in my womb? You have to help me protect him . I don't care what happens to me, but I don't want anything to go wrong with him!"

Mu Yunyao's heart stirred, and she hurriedly held Lady Jin's hand tightly . "Madam, don't worry . I'll do my best . Please don't be agitated at this moment, or else …"

Lady Jin turned her head slightly, and tears began to flow from the corners of her eyes . Cao Yunnian was pacing back and forth at the side . When he saw her expression, his expression became more anxious . "Oh, Madam, don't be sad . I will definitely give you an explanation . "

Just as Cao Yunnian finished speaking, Yin Hong walked in . "Reporting to Old Master and Madam, Concubine Wang is kneeling at the entrance to the courtyard . "

Lady Jin's face turned cold as she said to Cao Yunnian, "I look haggard today, so it's not convenient for me to see her . You should leave first . "

The anxiety on Cao Yunnian's face deepened, but because of Mu Yunyao's presence, it wasn't convenient for him to say anything . He could only hesitate for a moment before slowly saying, "Then Madam must rest well . I'll come to see you later . " After Cao Yunnian left, Yin Hong went out to take a look and returned to report to Lady Jin, "Madam, Concubine Wang is still kneeling at the courtyard entrance . When Master left just now, she seemed to have said something that made Old Master kick her . " Seeing that Lady Jin had slightly nodded her head to indicate that she had heard her words, Yin Hong withdrew herself from the room and standing guard at the door . When there were no outsiders, Mu Yunyao, who had her head lowered, finally opened her mouth and asked, "Madam, why must you go through all this trouble?" Just now, when she had helped to feel out Lady Jin's pulse, she had discovered that Lady Jin's pulsation was so steady and that nothing had happened . However, her face was pale, and she forcefully shook her hand, hinting that she had followed her instructions down . Lady Jin sat up, took up the silk pad, and wiped away the tears: "Yunyao, I'm really sorry for dragging you into this mess . For the past two days, there have been people who have been unhappy with me . They also always talked about me in front of Lord Cao, which has caused some enmity in his heart . If I don't get rid of this feud, sooner or later, it will form into a knot in his heart, and I won't be able to open it again . "

"As long as Madam is fine, it's good enough . For you to be able to call me over like this, it's because you don't treat me as an outsider . Why would I mind?" Mu Yunyao thought for a moment and was able to guess a few things . There was a rumor that Cao Yunnian had made it to the top so quickly, mostly because of the help from Lady Jin's family . Later on, Lady Jin's clothes attracted colorful butterflies, making the Emperor promote Cao Yunnian to the next rank . Later on, because of the spread of the embroidery needle technique, Lady Jin gave her a mandate, and it said outside that Cao Yunnian's most excellent fortune was to marry a good wife .

"At this time, if someone intentionally made a scene or two, they would likely lead him astray . By the way, there is another thing to call you over today . I had told Lord Cao about the gift for the New Year . After hearing the news, Governor Zhang was also very moved, so he thought to find a few blessed elders from all over the place to write down the good fortune and bring it to the Jingling City to put together the embroidery . I don't need to collect the handwriting before because Governor Zhang will send someone to take care of it . It's just that the final embroidery is about to be bigger . Do you think that the final embroidery item will complete?"

Mu Yunyao thought for a moment before replying, "Because the time is relatively short, if the embroidery will be made larger, it will take a lot of time . However, since Governor Zhang has spoken, even if I have to work day and night, I still have to try my best to finish it . The embroidery will grow nine feet long and five feet wide, which is in line with the supreme meaning of the ninth five-year plan . What do you think, Madam?"

Lady Jin looked apologetically at Mu Yunyao . "Of course, it's best this way, but it'll be hard on you . "

Mu Yunyao said with a smile, "To be able to receive the Emperor's bestowment, I feel extremely grateful in my heart . No matter how difficult it is, I will gladly endure it . "

Moreover, the New Year gift she helped embroider not only wanted to show her face in front of the Emperor . But more importantly, she wanted to use this opportunity to provoke the Su family .

Back then, on the day of the Emperor's birthday, the screen embroidery presented by the Su family not only did not help the Su family gain any glory . It also caused the Emperor to be furious because the meaning of the bloodstained mountains and rivers was ominous, and the Su family to be humiliated as well .

It was likely that the one that the Su family was most unwilling to see was the embroidery, and she wants to send another set of embroidery . If the Emperor praise this embroidery, it would definitely make them feel as if their throats stuck . Taking a step back, even if this piece of embroidery didn't receive the Emperor's praise, it would still be able to remind the Emperor of the matter of the Su family sending the screen over to the Emperor . As long as it could make Su Family unhappy, she was willing to be busy for a few months .
