"Miss Mu is here?" Steward Qin was extremely happy."Prince, Lady Mu must have thought it through and decided to let him know. Don't leave any grudges in Lady Mu's heart."
Joy was written all over King Yue's face. He subconsciously adjusted his clothes before asking Yu Heng to invite him in.
Mu Yunyao entered the door and respectfully saluted King Yue."Greetings to Your Highness King Yue."
Hearing her address him, the light in his heart dimmed, but his expression did not change at all."No need to be so courteous."
Mu Yunyao placed the book in her hand on the table and then looked apologetically at Supervisor Qin, "I have some matters that I wish to discuss with His Highness Duke of Yue in private. Would it be possible to ask Supervisor Qin to temporarily leave?"
Steward Qin quickly smiled and said: "Then this old servant will go down to prepare some tea for Your Highness and Lady Mu."
King Yue's gaze fell onto the pile of books. From the looks of it, it was probably an account book.
Mu Yunyao pushed the account book towards Titan and said, "Your Highness, these are the accounts of the Nebula Market that I have prepared in the past few months. I have already calculated the profits that should have been distributed to you, here is the banknotes."
"You don't have to calculate it so clearly ..."
"The calculations that should be done should naturally be done." Mu Yunyao wore a smile on her face, which was full of estrangement."My prince, the profits of the Nebula Pavilion cannot be compared with the Unenviable Pavilion. Therefore, I wish to make a deal with you."
The expression in King Yue's heart turned dark: "What deal?"
"You have already taken 30% of the profits from the Nebula Market and I have taken 40% of the profit from the Unenviable Market." You have taken away 30% of the profits from the Nebula Market and I have taken 40% of the profits from the Unenviable Market.
Yue Yang frowned, the light in his eyes became cold, as if snow was falling."You want to cut off all ties with me?"
Mu Yunyao's heart slightly tightened, but her smile became even more radiant."I just feel like I've taken so much profit, causing you to be at a disadvantage."
"What if I disagree?" The prince wanted to develop the west of Guangdong Province while meddling in the south of Jiangxi. The money spent should not be small, if he wanted to return 40% of the profits, he would have a lot of silver taels. Why hold on to this small Nebula Market so tightly? The Nebula Pavilion also has a golden signboard for the emperor, but in the end, it's just a place for selling clothes. Currently, there's no open scene, and the silver you earn is limited, if you still feel that you're at a disadvantage, I can compensate you with the Warm Treasure Pavilion. Back then, when we were preparing the Warm Treasure Pavilion, you were greatly helped by the people of the prince, and now you can easily negotiate with them, not needing too much.
"Thanks for the trouble."
Yue Yang's heart sank."What if I don't agree?"
"If you have any conditions, you can raise them. As long as I can fulfill them, I will do my best." Mu Yunyao continued to smile, and the smile on her charming face was like honey as it emitted a sweet and fragrant scent. However, in the eyes of the Titan, she was only able to taste an endless bitterness.
"Yunyao, are you blaming me for investigating you?"
"Prince, you're overthinking it. I didn't mean it that way."
"If you don't blame me, why would you suddenly stop working with me?"
"Mother and I are preparing to leave the Mausoleum City."
Yue Wang was stunned: "Leave?" Didn't Fourth Master find some information? You did a good job on the investigation. My mother was indeed a lost daughter of the Su family many years ago. The old madam of the Su family is my grandmother. Sooner or later, the Su Clan will find out where my mother and I are and bring us back, because ...
So I decided to take my mother back to Weir Village and wait."
"Even if you want to return to the Su Clan, it wouldn't stop us from cooperating ..."
"Your Highness, have you thought this through? Even though I only call Su Wen Yuan uncle, I am still labeled as the Su Family. If you continue to work with me, there will be endless hidden dangers.
"What you said makes a lot of sense, but I don't agree."
Hearing King Yue's reply, Mu Yunyao abruptly raised her head, her eyes filled with confusion."Why? Could it be that the Prince still felt that he had suffered a loss? "Then, half of the 10 million silver that I got from blackmailing the salt merchant was given to the prince. How about this?"
Yue Yang stared at Mu Yunyao, his eyes half angry and half helpless."Am I such a greedy person in your heart?"
Mu Yunyao's smile became colder, "Then what does Your Highness want?"
Yue Yang pondered for a moment, then said: "Yunyao, I found out that there is something strange about your father's death, and I don't know what exactly he is doing, but judging from your attitude towards the Su Family, it seems like you don't want to get close to them, so, I have a bold guess, did the Su Family harm your father?"
Mu Yunyao suddenly raised her head. She had suspected before that her father's death wasn't an accident, but her ability was limited and she couldn't investigate it in detail, so she could only suppress her doubts in her heart and wait for an opportunity to confirm one. She didn't expect that King Qian would find something fishy, "I don't dare to be sure."
"I'll have someone continue the investigation. If they find any information, I'll let you know as soon as possible."
"Prince, why are you wasting your time on me?" Mu Yunyao suddenly came back to her senses."The silver in your hands right now is enough to form any kind of power. Why are you holding on to me so hard?"
Yue Yang was silent for a moment, then said: "Go back first, wait for me to think about it carefully, and at the same time, take a look at the account book. How about it?"
"Alright, then I'll take my leave."
After Mu Yunyao left, Supervisor Qin walked in with a worried expression: "Your Highness, looking at Lady Mu's expression, you're not here to make peace, are you?"
Yue Yang nodded his head: "Uncle Qin, quickly get people to investigate the cause of Yun Yao's father's death. Also, think of a way to interrogate Madam Su's adoptive parents to see if they know anything. After all, they raised Madam Su once, so her methods are more gentle."
"Yes, Your Highness." Steward Qin nodded his head in agreement, "But where is Lady Mu ..."
"Uncle Qin, my back injury is almost healed. Help me to clean it up. I will head back to western Guangdong later."
"The wounds on your body?" "It's fine. Before I leave, I want to bid farewell to Madam Su. After I say my goodbyes, I'll leave immediately. After I leave, you can send these books over to Yunyao." Today, Yun Yao was completely on guard against him, anything he said would not enter her ears, he could only calm down first.
He also had to properly think of a way to get close to her. When they met again, he had to make her unreservedly believe in him!
Steward Qin nodded his head, "Then I will go and prepare the present now."
When Mu Yunyao returned home, Su Qing had just returned from Nebula Pavilion."Mother."
Su Qing held her hand and asked, "What's wrong?" "Nothing, I just want to eat the Eight Treasures Rice that my mother made personally." Mu Yunyao leaned on Su Qing's shoulder. The light in her eyes dimmed slightly. She had finally made up her mind to cut off the relationship with King Fu. She didn't heave a sigh of relief like she had imagined. Instead, she felt empty inside.
