"Then I want to drink two cups of tea today." Madame Zhou sized up Mu Yunyao and couldn't help but praise her in her heart. Even though she had long since prepared herself, she still felt comfortable looking at Mu Yunyao.
"Madam, please take a seat." Mu Yunyao led Madame Zhou to a seat and then personally made tea.
As Madame Zhou admired her brewing tea, she said carelessly, "I've heard that Miss Mu will be leaving the Mausoleum City and returning to the capital's Su Clan in the next few days. That's why I'm here to pay a visit."
"I also didn't expect that my mother's life would be so rough." Mu Yunyao's brewing movements were as graceful and smooth as before. However, a trace of unease and apprehension couldn't help but flash through her eyes as she spoke, causing Madame Zhou to keenly notice it.
Mu Yunyao let out a soft sigh."Even though I said that, as mother and I grew up in the mountains, I'm afraid that my luck is too low ..."
The first thing I saw when I saw you was that you would definitely be extraordinary in the future. With your skills and bearing alone, even in the capital, you would stand outstandingly compared to those noble ladies, so there was no need to worry too much.
Mu Yunyao closed the teacup and lightly placed it in front of Madame Zhou."I grew up in the countryside since I was young, and I only know a few words from my father. How could I dare to be on par with those noble ladies in the capital? "Madam, please don't comfort me." You don't have to belittle yourself. Right now, the Su family is like the sun in the sky, the Su family's old mistress has a second title, and your uncle, Prince Su, is also extremely favored by the Emperor. The eldest son of the Su family is the young master Su Qing who came to deliver the decree to you last time.
Wu, to be recruited as a first-tier guard by the Emperor at such a young age, such an illustrious household ... your fortune can be considered limitless in the future."
Mu Yunyao's eyes held a hint of longing that just so happened to be there."Right now, only I and my mother are dependent on each other. It would be great if I could have a few more family members ..."
Madam Zhou smiled and took a sip from her teacup. Her eyes immediately lit up."This tea is really not bad. After drinking it, you actually feel your entire body is refreshed. Before you leave, you must sell me some."
"If Madam likes it, I'll immediately send someone to deliver it to your residence."
"How can that be?" Mu Yunyao hurriedly refused.
"This is my kind intentions, please do not decline." Madame Zhou directly sent the invitation to Mu Yunyao.
"... In that case, I shall thank the Madam."
Seeing Mu Yunyao accept it, the smile on Madame Zhou's face became a bit more genuine."Have you decided on when we'll head back to the capital?"
"We still need to settle down and set up the Nebula Pavilion and the Not Envy Pavilion. I'm afraid they will take a few more days." That was reasonable. These two properties were flourishing day by day, and there was also the golden signboard gifted down by the emperor. If they were casually abandoned, it would truly be a pity. Don't worry, these two places are the face of Ziling City. Lord Li said earlier that he would take good care of them. Even if you and Madam Su leave, I will ...
We'll take good care of it, too." It turns out that she was planning this. Her heart was on guard, but her expression didn't show the slightest hint of emotion, "Sir Li, as the salt luck envoy of Ziling City and the son of Prime Minister Li, your wife is of noble birth. How could you two have access to her?
"Thank you, Sir Li, thank you Madam."
Madame Zhou smiled."There's no need to be so courteous. You're the one that makes me like it when I see you." After chatting for nearly half an hour, Madame Zhou stood up and left. Mu Yunyao escorted the two out of the Garden of Embroidery, and after she boarded the carriage, she turned around to head back home. When she returned home, she slightly turned her head to look at Senior Servant Wen, who probably saw Madame Zhou's arrival in her eyes.
Was it because he didn't know how to organize it in his heart?
Jin Lan and Jin Qiao quietly followed behind Mu Yunyao. After returning to their room, they took out the invitation placed at the side."Miss, quite a few posts have been sent over. These are sent by the ladies who normally have dealings with the Nebula Pavilion."
Mu Yunyao took the card and looked at it. After laughing for a while, she casually threw it onto the table."These ladies have good news."
"Miss, you don't know, but the news about the Madam and you being members of the Su Family has already spread throughout the entire Ziling City."
"Pass it on, there's nothing shameful about it anyway." He just didn't know how Wen mama would report to the old mistress of the Su Clan when she returned. Jin Lan brought out a cup of tea."Miss, your servant heard some of Madame Zhou's words, and felt a bit confused. Some of them seemed to have understood that she was trying to take care of the Nebula Pavilion and the No-Envy Pavilion. You said that after we leave the Tomb City, these two properties should not be taken private by them.
"You swallowed it?" Not to mention Li Munian, even his father, Li Qingzhou, did not dare to swallow up the entire Nebula Square without permission. Firstly, both of these properties are recorded by the emperor. Secondly, they won't be stupid enough to find unhappiness for themselves. Secondly, these two properties are here for us to watch ...
Third, right now, we have a relationship with the Su Clan, and the Li Clan and the Su Clan have never been on good terms with each other. They know the seriousness of the situation better than us."
Jin Lan blinked and thought for a while. She still didn't understand."I don't understand. If that Madame Zhou didn't want to help Nebula Market and Avaricious Restaurant, why did she say she would take care of them for Miss?" Mu Yunyao raised her teacup and took a sip: "Why else would I intentionally say such words to the Su Family? Previously, I gave the Yearly Rites to the Emperor, but it struck the sore spot of the Su Clan. I didn't know about my relationship with the Su Clan before, but now that I know that I'm from the Su Clan, it's only natural ...
"To add to the fire." "Senior Servant Wen and the others are living upstairs, so they should be able to see the young miss entertaining Madame Zhou, " Jin Lan explained."Senior Servant Wen and the others are living upstairs, so they should be able to see the young miss entertaining Madame Zhou, and considering how unhappy she was before, the young lady's impression of the young lady would definitely be much worse than before. The Li family and the Su family are enemies.
