Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 391

~ THE SU FAMILY'S WISHFUL THINKING ~

Mu Yunyao understood in her heart that the Old Madam must have come to find her about the matter of spreading the embroidery needle technique. Does she want the Su family to partic.i.p.ate in and get a share of the pie, right?

“Alright, I’ll be there right away.”

In Ninghe Garden, The Old Madam Sun frowned. Su Wenyuan, the Eldest Madam Meng, Su Zhiyuan, and the Second Madam Qi were sitting next to her.

As soon as Mu Yunyao walked in, a slight smile appeared on her lips. It seemed like the entire family had gathered together: “Greetings Grandmother, Greetings Uncles, and Greetings Aunts.”

The Old Madam’s expression softened, and with a wave of her hand, she wants Mu Yunyao to get up, “Quickly get up and sit by Grandmother’s side. I just heard that you went to visit your adoptive mother. How are she and the child? Are they in good health?”

“Everything is fine. Thank you for your concern, Grandmother.”

“Since Lord Cao and Lady Jin are your adoptive parents, they are relatives of our Su family, so you’ll have to go around more often from now on.” The Old Madam sized up Mu Yunyao and smiled. Saw her smile, Mu Yunyao’s eyes darkened a little. “Yunyao, the reason I called you to come over today is because I have something to discuss with you.”

“If grandmother has any instructions, just tell me.” Mu Yunyao stood beside the Old Madam with a smile on her face. Her tone was gentle, and she looked extremely calm and refined.

The Old Madam patted her hand and turned to look at the Eldest Madam. “Meng Shi, why haven’t you apologized to Yunyao yet?”

The Eldest Madam’s face was tense, and her whole body seemed to tremble. However, she forced out an apologetic smile and got up to speak to Mu Yunyao, “Yunyao, I was obsessed for a while and did something wrong to you. Today, Aunt is here to apologize to you. If you have anything to say, just don’t hesitate to take it out on me. I just hope that for the sake of the family, you can disregard the past grudges and forgive me.” As she spoke, she was about to kneel down and pay her respects to Mu Yunyao.

No matter what was said, the Eldest Madam was still her elder. If this ceremony continues, Mu Yunyao will become unreasonable even if she is reasonable.

Mu Yunyao wanted to step forward and help the Eldest Madam up, but the Old Madam stopped her actions and could only watch helplessly as the Eldest Madam finished her curtseying.

Mu Yunyao looked at the Old Madam, who grabbed her hand and couldn’t help but sneer in her heart. She had really underestimated this group of the Su family. For the family’s benefit, they were even able to tear off their own face and step on the ground, “Eldest Aunt, why is there a need for this? I’ve never blamed you before.”

The Old Madam let go of Mu Yunyao’s hand and nodded with a smile. “That’s more like it. I already said Yunyao is the most kind-hearted, and she definitely wouldn’t hold grudges against the family because of what happened before.”

Mu Yunyao’s thoughts turned, and she couldn’t help but laugh, “From what Grandmother said, we’re all family, why do we need to fuss over so many things?”

“That’s right. Yunyao, I heard you wanted to ask your adoptive mother to help you teach the embroidery needle technique in the Capital? This is a great thing, and there are so many people idling around in residence. If there is anyone who you want to help, you can call on them together. As long as you call out the names, everyone in residence can do as you wish.”

“If that’s the case, then I won’t be polite. Eldest Aunt has been in charge of the household for many years, and her thoughts are the most meticulous. This time, why don’t I ask Eldest Aunt to help me?”

The Eldest Madam suddenly raised her head and looked at Mu Yunyao with an alarmed and uncertain gaze. “You … Do you want me to help?”

Recently, the Second Madam and Mu Yunyao had been very close. She had personally witnessed this and thought that this great opportunity would fall upon the Second Madam. She didn’t expect that Mu Yunyao would actually choose her.

“Yes, Second Aunt is now managing the affairs of the househol, taking care of Grandmother, and taking care of Sister Su You. I’m afraid that it will be hard for her to keep up with her energy. I heard that Eldest Aunt also has several embroidery estates in her possession, and she also does some business with embroidery. It’s just right for you to come and help me. Is Eldest Aunt not willing?”

Mu Yunyao’s words were pleasant to hear, but the Eldest Madam always felt uneasy in her heart. It was just like how she hated Mu Yunyao to the bone, so she should’ve seen her as a mortal enemy too. Now that the Eldest Madam didn’t fall into the abyss and had cleared up her old grudge in the past, how could she not have been suspicious?

The Eldest Madam was still deep in thought when she felt the sharp gaze of the Old Madam and quickly regained her senses. Before Mu Yunyao returned to the residence, the Old Madam had already warned her that no matter what conditions Mu Yunyao asked for, she would partic.i.p.ate in the announcement of the needle embroidery technique and let the Su family borrow this reputation to take advantage.

“Of course, I’m willing to help.”

Mu Yunyao smiled. “That’s great, Grandmother. Spreading the embroidery needle technique is a big matter, and many things need to be arranged carefully. Fortunately, Ni Yun Fang in the Ccapital has already opened, and there are apprentices I taught myself. Their embroidery needle technique are no less than me. It can be of great help this time.”

The Old Madam’s eyes twitched slightly, “You’ve even taught the apprentices yourself?”

“Yes, they were all chosen by hundreds of thousands. They were all clever and talented beyond ordinary people. They were born to consume embroidery. Two of them could not even compare to me in terms of craftsmanship.”

The Old Madam nodded. “It’s better for you to teach. Go back and prepare what do you need. If you need anything, just tell me. Grandmother asked someone to arrange it for you.”

“Alright, then I’ll take my leave first.”

Mu Yunyao left Ninghe Garden, a smile flashing across her eyes. The Old Madam’swishful thinking was good, but it was a pity that she did not have any plans to take advantage of the Su family.

After Mu Yunyao left, the Old Madam waved her hand to get Su Wenyuan and the others to leave, and leaving behind the Eldest Madam who had a stiff expression, “Meng Shi, do you resent me for not showing mercy in my heart?”

The Eldest Madam hurriedly shook her head. “Mother, I know that you are doing this for the East Courtyard’s good. I understand your painstaking efforts.”

The Old Madam coldly raised her lips, “whether you really understand it or understand it in your mouth. During this time, you must not have any conflict with Mu Yunyao. She is my granddaughter, the Young Miss of the Su family. You should be more tolerant of her as her Eldest Aunt. Don’t make any jokes.”

“Yes, Daughter-in-law will remember.” The Eldest Madam felt as if she had broken a tooth and swallowed it. No matter how sullen she was, she didn’t dare to show it.

“One more thing, what happened in the Su family was a family matter. Since you married from the Meng family and become a member of the Su family now. Family matter should not be related to outsiders. Do you understand that?” The Eldest Madam deliberately asked her mother, Princess Qing He, to cause trouble for Mu Yunyao. The Old Madam was originally happy to see it happen, but now that the matter of the embroidery needle technique had been spread out, the Eldest Madam could no longer do whatever she wanted.

The Eldest Madam’s face turned pale: “Mother, I’ll remember it. It’s just that Yunyao’s thoughts are different from ordinary people. I’m afraid that she might put away her grudge on the surface, but in truth she still hates me in her heart and might even take the opportunity to cause trouble for the Su family. At that time, the gains will outweigh the losses.”

The Old Madam frowned. She was also worried about this, especially since Mu Yunyao had agreed so quickly today. It was completely unlike her usual style as if she had already predicted that the Su Family would come looking for her.
