Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 120

Chapter 120

Trace of Ding Yuelan

After returning from the Cao family’s residence, Mu Yunyao told Su Qing about the current situation of Lady Jin, and after hearing her words, Su Qing praised her as she did the right thing . “If Lady Jin had not supported us back then, we would not have been together today . I know that after spending so much time together, there are inevitably some things that we use to make use of each other . People’s feelings are not easy to change overnight . We have been with Lady Jin for a long time, knowing her character, and have a real relationship with her . We will stop thinking about gains and losses, but take care of them more . ”

Mu Yunyao was stunned for a moment, then nodded . “Yes, Mother is right . ” In this new life, her heart had become cold and hard . She could meticulously scheme for the sake of achieving her goal . However, she did not want to become someone who did not care what methods she used . Otherwise, what difference was there between her with the Su family and Jin w.a.n.g, whom she hated?

Ni Yun Fang was burned down and naturally needed to rebuild . Lady Jin gave her the original contract of the small house . After Mu Yunyao thanked her, she did not decline anymore . She waited for Bu Xian Luo to get on the right track, and then she would go over to Ni Yun Fang from time to time to see how the progress of Ni Yun Fang’s reconstruction .

After interacting with so many female embroiderers, she had already paid attention to many people . She arranged for Jin Lan and Jin Qiao to ask around . Except for three people who had already signed the agreement with the other families, more than a dozen people had all agreed to come to Ni Yun Fang to work .

With Bu Xian Luo making money these days, Mu Yunyao became a lot more wealthy, so she bought some silk threads and cloths for the female embroiderers to try making clothes . Not to mention, they have really decent talents and skills . If any clothing that made matching the appearance that she gave, she would sell it as soon as they modified .

After Lady Jin heard Mu Yunyao’s suggestion, she practically came to Jin Xiu Garden every day . It was unknown if it was because she was in a relaxed mood, but she actually managed to eat the things that Su Qing cooked for her and praised Su Qing’s craftsmanship continuously . Within a few days, the two of them had gotten familiar with each other .

After finding out that Su Qing would be in charge of Ni Yun Fang in the future, Lady Jin started to casually reveal the situation of the other families through idle chatter, allowing Su Qing to benefit significantly from it .

Seeing her mother and Lady Jin getting along harmoniously, Mu Yunyao naturally feels overjoyed in her heart . She focused her attention on the female embroiderers who were making clothes for her . Seeing that Ni Yun Fang was about to have a golden signboard, she knew that she couldn’t do anything that would damage her reputation . The clothes must be exquisite and gorgeous .

After dinner, Mu Yunyao was designing her clothes in the study . Suddenly she hears a knock at the door .

“What’s wrong?”

“Mistress, I found traces of Lady Ding!”

Mu Yunyao hurriedly raised her head . Xuan Fu and Jingling Tongzi had escorted to the Capital, and the Ding family also had been plundered . Since she didn’t receive any news from Ding Yuelan, she thought that Lady Ding had already left Jingling City along with Lord Ding and Madam Ding . “Where is she?”

“Ru Yi Pavilion . ”

“Ru Yi Pavilion?” Mu Yunyao thought about it carefully . She had never heard of this place .

Liu Liang’s expression became unnatural for a moment . “ . . . ” “In Cross Lane . ”

Mu Yunyao’s face suddenly changed . Cross Lane was the place where all Jingling City’s brothels and villas gathered . Presumably, this Ru Yi Pavilion was one of those kind places . “Take the silver notes with you and redeem her . ”

“Mistress, the bawd asked for 10,000 taels of silver . ”

Mu Yunyao’s face became even more unsightly . “I’m afraid that the bawd had already figured out the relationship between Lady Ding and me, so she dared to make such a big request . Isn’t it just 10,000 taels of silver, give it to her!”

“Yes, Mistress . ”

Liu Liang went out with silver notes, but in less than an hour, he came back alone . “The bawd said that the price was 10,000 taels of silver before, and now the price she asking for is 20,000 taels of silver . ”

Mu Yunyao laughed coldly: “They really know how to raise the price . I didn’t want to cause any trouble at all . But since Ru Yi Pavilion is too greedy and they won’t let her go, then go ask Steward Qin for two people to s.n.a.t.c.h Lady Ding out!”

“Yes . ” He immediately turned around and left .

After more than an hour, Jin Lan and Jin Qiao support Ding Yuelan to walk over .

“ . . . Thank you, Miss Mu . ” Once Ding Yuelan entered, she tried her best to stand firm on her own, but unfortunately for her, she was covered with injuries and directly fell to the ground .

Mu Yunyao immediately went forward to help her up: “Madam, how did you become like this?”

Ding Yuelan was too skinny, her entire body covered with wounds, her hair was messy, and her face was pale white . Where did the slightest trace of her usual elegance?

Upon hearing Mu Yunyao’s question, Ding Yuelan laughed miserably . “I had originally thought that even if they weren’t my biological parent, after living together for so many years, there would still be endless affection for me . But who would have thought that their hearts had already darkened for a long time …” As she said this, her tears continued to flow down her face, and her bloodstained clothes became a mess .

“Jin Lan, you go prepare some food . Jin Qiao, prepare some hot water and clean clothes . ” Mu Yunyao could roughly guess what had happened and couldn’t help but sigh in her heart . Ding Yuelan thought about how they had raised her, but who would have thought that Lord Ding and Madam Ding had treated her as a media to gain a profit . So how could they care about the life and death of their tools?

Ding Yuelan was like a puppet whose soul had extracted . Her entire person had a dazed look . After being washed by Jin Qiao, she slowly came back to her senses .

Mu Yunyao took the medicine bottle . When she applied it on Ding Yuelan, she could not help but frown, the wounds on her body were too severe, and it looked new and old scar . She probably suffered a lot .

Mu Yunyou said something to Lady Ding, “I’ll help Madam to apply for the medicine . After recuperating for a while, you will be fine . ”

Ding Yuelan’s face was still pale white . She said in a hoa.r.s.e voice to express her grat.i.tude . “Thank you, Miss Mu . ”

Jin Lan brought up the plain porridge and small dishes .

Mu Yunyao pushed something in front of Ding Yuelan, “I heard from Liu Liang that you’ve been locked up for a long time and haven’t eaten, so I let Jin Lan stew some porridge . It’s best to eat less food first so that your body doesn’t get damaged later . Even though this is a study room, the inner s.p.a.ce is separated by me, and all the bedding is new . After eating, you can rest here for the night, and I will ask someone to tidy up your room tomorrow . ”

After Mu Yunyao finished talking, she saw Ding Yuelan nod her head, and she stepped back slowly .

Jin Lan and Jin Qiao were guarding the door, and when they saw her come out, they could not help but ask with concern . “Miss, is Shopkeeper Ding alright?”

“The injuries on her body are easy to treat, but there is no cure for the wounds on her heart . I am afraid that her heart had broken by Lord Ding and Madam Ding . I hope that she can get it over with as soon as possible . Jin Qiao, you can stay here . If Lady Ding needs anything, you can help me take care of it . ”

“Yes, Miss . ”

The next day, Mu Yunyao had just finished eating breakfast with Su Qing, when Jin Lan quickly walked in and reported: “Miss, Ru Yi Pavilion’s people have come to cause trouble . They said that they want to bring Shopkeeper Ding back . ”

Su Qing had also heard of Ding Yuelan’s matter and was furious: “Yao’er, you must not send Lady Ding back to that fire pit . ”

“Mother, don’t worry . I know what to do . ” As Mu Yunyao walked towards the door, she instructed Jin Lan, “You go and guard at the door . It’s almost the time for Lady Jin to come over, don’t let Ru Yi Pavilion’s people b.u.mp into her . ”

“Yes, Miss . ”

Ru Yi Pavilion’s bawd looked to be around forty years old, but she was still charming and dressed exceptionally beautifully . Many people can see that she was also a beauty when she was young .

When she saw Mu Yunyao, she did not cause a commotion, but her words laced with thorns as she said, “Greetings, Miss Mu . In recent days, Miss Mu has taught the women in Jing Ling City the embroidery needle technique . However, our statuses are low, and we are unable to come to learn from Miss Mu . In our hearts, we are also extremely respectful to you, but no matter how much you have done for Jingling City, it cannot be any more important than a decree . Since Lady Ding has signed the contract and entered the Ru Yi Pavilion, she is my person . So why did you directly take action to seize her, what is the reason?”
