When Su Qing heard Si Qin's report, she hurriedly brought her men out to welcome him. When she saw the black dressed Yue Wang, she couldn't help but praise him in her heart.
"This humble woman, Su Shi, greets Master Ning."
Yue Yang extended his hand to support her, "Madam, there is no need to be overly courteous. My surname is Ning, I'm called Huaijin. You can just call me Huaijin."
At first, Su Qing saw that the King's expression was cold and his heart was full of fear. But now that she saw his elegant demeanor and his courteous speech, she could not help but laugh, "How can you call Master Si directly by his name?"
"Madam is my senior. If you call me Fourth Master, then that would truly be a shame. As a junior, you actually let the elders call you with respect. Isn't that just taking away one's own good fortune?" On the face of Titan, he still did not have much expression, but the aura around him became especially gentle.
When Su Qing saw this, she knew that it was no longer a good idea to refuse, so she smiled and said, "If that's the case, then I'll call you Young Master Ning. I heard that your hometown is in the capital, and that the food we prepare for the New Year is mostly from the north.
"Thank you Madam."
Su Qing saw Mu Yunyao holding a snowball and was stunned. She quickly looked at her with a rebuking look, "You're already so old, and you still like to play. Quickly bring Young Master Ning to the main hall to warm up. I'll go to the kitchen to check on the things you've prepared."
Supervisor Qin quickly followed Su Qing's footsteps, "I will follow Madam to take a look."
"Steward Qin, you've worked hard for more than half a year. Why don't you go rest in the parlour?"
"It's fine, it's fine. This person can't rest once he's old. The Envy Hall hasn't opened for the past few days, so I was just feeling bored and wanted to help out Madam."
"That's fine too." As Supervisor Qin walked, he softly explained to Su Qing, "Please forgive me Madam, but when our young master was young, his family had met with an accident. Since he was young, he did not have a mother with him.
"
When Su Qing heard this, she could not help but feel sympathy for him. It turned out that Young Master Ning lacked his mother to accompany him, so he did not show any expression on his face. He must be a filial person.
"That's right..." After Supervisor Qin and Su Qing left, Mu Yunyao finally came back to her senses. She stepped forward and bowed to the Duke, "Fourth Master, please follow me." As she walked, she kept recalling the scene between Yue Wang and Su Qing. She had thought that Yue Wang would not lie to anyone, but she didn't expect that he would do the same.
This gentle side.
When they arrived at the parlour, they could feel waves of warmth. They handed their cloaks to the maids and the two of them entered the main hall. Jin Lan brought up some tea and stood behind Mu Yunyao with six taels of silver.
Mu Yunyao didn't know what to say. She had plenty of ways to make the atmosphere warm and relaxed when facing other people, but when facing the Titan, she didn't know why, but she felt an indescribable fear in her heart. It was probably because her previous life's death was related to him.
Just as he was racking his brains trying to think of what to say, he heard King Yue take the lead and opened his mouth: "I heard that you have adopted Lord Cao as your foster father?"
"Yes, during our time in the Tomb City, Madam Jin took good care of me. In addition, she was on good terms with my mother, so she became sworn parents. As for me and my mother, we have a lot more to rely on now."
Yue Yang slightly raised his eyebrows, his eyes dark: "Why should I give up on distance?" Was he no more to rely on than a little salt history?
Mu Yunyao quickly thought about what King Yue had said. Could he have seen that she was too close to the Cao family?
Cao Yunsheng had always been a neutral person. Even when the princes of the later stages fought over power and profits, he did not side with anyone. Furthermore, he was only a fourth rank official.
"Master Four supported me in setting up the No Envy Restaurant and even lent me the beautiful brocade garden to use. Naturally, he was my backer, but he would always trouble you with small matters."
King Yue nodded and took a sip from his tea cup. Thinking back to when Steward Qin had written a letter to show off to him, he could not help but say: "I heard that you are extremely good at making tea?"
Mu Yunyao couldn't figure out what he wanted to ask, so she could only nod her head in an unchanging manner: "I know a little bit. If Fourth Master wants tea, I'll make it special for you to try it some other time."
"Alright."
Just as the atmosphere in the parlour gradually turned awkward, Nan'er ran in with small steps and respectfully greeted Mu Yunyao, "Greetings, Miss."
"What's wrong?"
"Miss, the snowmen have already been piled up. Do you want to take a look?"
Mu Yunyao was naturally looking forward to it. It was likely that with the King's personality, he wouldn't want to see any snowman, and it just so happened that she could avoid him."Fourth Master, I want to see the snowman. Please ..."
King Yue stood up and walked towards the door. Seeing that Mu Yunyao wasn't following him, he turned around with a puzzled look, "Didn't you want to see the snowman?"
"Yes, I didn't think that Lord Four liked these little things too."
King Yue nodded and did not say anything. Seeing Mu Yunyao walk straight to the door, he couldn't help but frown at Jin Lan."Hurry and send your master the cloak and gloves."
Being stared at by Yue Yang, Jin Lan felt a chill on her back, as if her entire body had been swept by the cold astral winds of winter. Her entire body shivered, and she immediately grabbed her cape and gloves to chase after Mu Yunyao, putting them on without saying a word.
When Mu Yunyao saw that Jin Lan was going to help her tie her gloves, she couldn't help but blink, "It's only two steps, so I don't need my gloves, right?"
Jin Lan helped Mu Yunyao put on her clothes and secretly sized up Wang Yue. Seeing that he didn't show any more dissatisfaction on his face, she couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. That gaze just now was too scary.
The other one was smaller and more slender. There was a piece of red silk wrapped around the snowman's body. From the looks of it, it was the one she used to dance on the ice yesterday.
Nan'er pointed at the shorter snowman and said like she was offering a treasure, "Miss, take a look, does this snowman look like you?"
Mu Yunyao couldn't help chuckling."Not bad, I'll give you a red seal later. Next year, I'll make another one that looks more like me."
"Thank you, Miss."
Jinqiao, Jinpei, and the others all gathered around, "Miss, we helped you, you have to reward us as well!"
Su Qing walked over. Seeing such a lively scene, her face was filled with smiles."If the young miss doesn't want to reward you, let me. Someone help me carry the dishes. Give me a red packet later!"
"Servant, come!"
"Madam, this servant is very clever and is the most suitable to serve dishes." Madam, don't listen to her nonsense. Last month, she even broke a plate, and this servant was fated to serve dishes since she was young! "
