"Madam went out to buy silk today, and when she returned, a child suddenly rushed to the front of the carriage and threw a piece of firecracker at the horse."
"Child?"
"Yes, this servant went up to ask. It was just an ordinary family of farm children. The parents of the children rushed forward and kowtowed to admit their wrongs, so Madam didn't care anymore."
Mu Yunyao's forehead twitched. Not to mention why this child had suddenly rushed in front of the carriage, just the fact that he had exploded into pieces was worthy of suspicion. Even though Jiangnan was rich, ordinary people would not play firecrackers for their children without a new year.
Seeing that she was still worried, Su Qing comforted her, "Mother just accidentally twisted her leg a little. It's fine."
Mu Yunyao quickly squatted down and examined Su Qing's ankles. It was just that they were slightly swollen and red. She couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief."Mother, you have been trying your best not to go out these past two days. I'm afraid this matter isn't as simple as it sounds."
"Alright."
Since she wasn't around and didn't have complete trust in Si Qin and the rest, Mu Yunyao kept this matter in her heart for the time being, repeatedly warning everyone in the neon city to be extra careful.
She suddenly woke up at night and smelled a burnt smell. As she put on her clothes, she ran outside and called for Jin Lan and the others. When she arrived downstairs, she could already see the light of the fire.
Jin Lan and the others had already been warned by Mu Yunyao, so they could still hold on. They took out a water basin and quickly extinguished the flames. The fire was not big, it just lit the drapes and made the walls black.
Mu Yunyao's brows tightly furrowed and her heart filled with a cold intent. These two days, she had been exceptionally careful and reminded Jin Lan and her group to place some flammable fabrics and threads in their room. She carefully put them away as she was afraid that someone would not be able to control herself and set the neon city square on fire.
Jin Lan and the others didn't dare to make a sound. It was Su Qing who limped down the stairs, interrupting Mu Yunyao's contemplation."Mother, there's nothing wrong with this small matter. Why have you come downstairs?"
Su Qing looked at the burning curtain and the water stains on the ground and couldn't help but to cover her chest."Yao'er, those people's methods are too vicious."
"Mother, don't worry. In two days, I will have them return one by one!" Mu Yunyao's voice was clear and cold, her black eyes unfathomable, as if all the light in her surroundings had been absorbed into it.
Hearing Mu Yunyao's words, Su Qing couldn't help but worry, "Yao`er, don't be too impulsive. Fortunately, the fire didn't start."
"Don't worry mother, I know what I'm doing."
When Lady Jin heard about what had happened at the Nebula Pavilion, she specifically made a trip here."Yunyao, is there anything important?"
Mu Yunyao hurriedly came over to greet him."Greetings Madam, I've made you worry. Since I found you in time, I've only burnt a little curtain and tidied it up a little."
Madam Jin frowned."Where's your mother? Is her injury serious?"
"It's just a twist of the foot, so it's fine." As Mu Yunyao spoke, she led Lady Jin to sit down and let Jin Lan drink some fruit tea."Madam is pregnant, let's drink some fruit tea."
Lady Jin could not help but loosen her expression."Seeing that you are able to hold it in so steadily, I am relieved. In other words, these two days will be better."
Mu Yunyao nodded."I only think of Madam's words, so I can be this calm." She was not someone who suffered a loss. Those people had injured Su Qing, so she naturally had to pay them back. However, she could not say these words to Madam Jin.
"I'll send more people to guard the area for the next two days. You guys should be more vigilant too. There's no better way right now." The people she sent didn't notice that there was anyone suspicious approaching the neon square, and they couldn't find any evidence that it was all in vain.
"Thank you Madam."
Of course, they had to tell the King of Yue about this. Other than that, they should also send some silver taels over, and only when they saw the true gold and silver would the King of Battle feel the need to pay more attention to them.
In the west of Guangdong Province, it was very cold and bitter. I heard that she didn't even have enough military pay, so this time, I'll just send more silver taels over and then slowly find some to make up for it.
Supervisor Qin was slightly surprised to see Mu Yunyao. At this moment, her face was filled with fatigue, and there was even a hint of paleness on it, "Supervisor Qin, I have a letter and some things that I want to give to Fourth Master. Are you sure it's convenient?"
"Of course it's convenient. Miss, what's the matter?"
Mu Yunyao smiled bitterly."Nothing much. It's just that a lot of things have happened in the Nebula Pavilion recently. Last night, someone tried to set a fire in the Nebula Market. Fortunately, they found it in time and didn't cause much damage." "There's actually such a thing?" Supervisor Qin's eyes turned cold. Regardless of whether Mu Yunyao and the Prince could succeed or not in the future, right now, she is helping to prepare a teahouse so that the Prince can openly plant spies in Jiangnan. He couldn't just watch her get bullied like this, "Miss Mu, don't worry.
Search and find out what kind of information you have, and you'll definitely notify the young lady immediately."
Mu Yunyao heaved a sigh of relief, "Many thanks Manager Qin."
The next two days were calm and peaceful, causing Su Qing's heart, which had been hanging in the air, to finally calm down. On the third day, Mu Yunyao was summoned by Lady Jin into the Cao family mansion early in the morning."Yunyao, we have obtained the exact information. Today, the Emperor will bestow upon us the gift, so Chief Fellow Zhang has already brought an official to welcome us.
"Fang."
Mu Yunyao knew that Madam Jin was kind-hearted. She tidied up her makeup who knew how many times in front of the mirror as a tinge of red came over her face, but there wasn't much of a ripple in her heart.
She had worked hard for this day for a long time, and now that she got what she wanted, she only felt that it was natural.
Outside the city, a group of a hundred people escorted two carts of goods quickly into the city.
The officials had been guarding the city gates for a long time. The streets had been locked down, and there were no longer any civilians walking about.
Inspector Zhang, who was standing at the head of the officials, hurriedly stepped forward when he saw the group stop."Sir Su, you've worked hard all the way." "Greetings, Sir Zhang. This humble one owes Your Majesty the grace of the heavens. I have the pleasure of escorting Your Majesty to Your Majesty's funeral." A young man in light armor dismounted from his horse and bowed to Zhang Xun. His face was as fair as jade and his figure was tall and straight. His phoenix eyes were as bright as the stars.
He was like a beautiful tree, outstanding and extraordinary. As expected of someone raised by the Su Family. At just the age of twenty, he was promoted to a first-tier guard by the Emperor, and he was given such an important mission by the Emperor. He dared to ask the Emperor to come here, as expected of him.
It had been ten years since he climbed up, but he had only recently broken through to the fourth rank. As expected, this person couldn't be compared to him. Patron Zhang led the young man and escorted the emperor to the patrolling manor. The other officials at the side were smiling politely to the side, but they couldn't stop glancing at the two carriages.
