"Lord Su is of a higher rank than this official. This official does not have the right to investigate rashly. I still need to report this matter to the emperor, and ask for his permission."
"Alright, the noise in the house is really weird, I'll send Sir Shen out." Su Wenyuan nodded. Now that things had developed to this point, he couldn't hide it anymore even if he wanted to. That group of censors might already be writing their reports, so he had to think of a way to salvage the situation.
Shen Bingshu took two steps before he suddenly stopped and said to Su Qing and Mu Yunyao, "If Your Majesty allows us to investigate, we will need Lady Su and Miss Mu's cooperation in the coming period of time. The maids under Miss Mu are important witnesses and I hope that Miss Mu can restrict them further."
Mu Yunyao bowed towards Shen Bingshu with gratitude in her eyes."Yes, please be at ease Sir Shen. I'll take care of the maids under my command and won't let anything happen to them."
If anyone wanted to cause trouble for them in the next period of time, they would have to intentionally coerce a witness. That would be the truth, and with just a single word from him, she could openly save Jinlan and Yun Chun.
Shen Bingshu nodded, turned around and followed Su Wenyuan out of the east yard. She looked around the messy courtyard and said to the first wife coldly, "Although the matter has yet to be decided, I do not dare leave the matters of the residence to you. From today onwards, the authority of the housekeeper will be transferred to the second wife, the Qi family.
"Have someone hand over all the accounts and keys to me, and I will be staying in the East District to recite a prayer and pray. Without my order, I will not easily come out again."
The first wife's expression was extremely unsightly. She had lost her authority as a butler, and had been ordered to restrict her movements. She could be said to have lost all face."Yes, mother." Sun Shi turned her head to look at Su Qing and Mu Yunyao. Her tone was much gentler, but her eyes were filled with ice as she said, "You two can go back to the Primordial Moon Pavilion. I will have the doctor come over later to help you take a look at your injuries, Yun Chun, Jin Lan, and the rest also come over to take a look.
"This is hard to come by."
Mu Yunyao nodded."Thank you grandmother, but, that 80, 000 silver bill ..." "If aunt has a tight hand, I can extend the time for a few more days. However, we've already found a place in the Neon Clouds Workshop and the No Envy Pavilion, and are waiting for the money to start anew."
The First Wife's gaze was cold as she stared at Mu Yunyao."Don't push it too far. You should be clear in your heart about the matter of the two hundred thousand taels of silver banknotes!"
Mu Yunyao seemed to have received a shock, and she slightly quivered. She raised her head and looked at the old lady, "Grandmother, look at Eldest Aunt ..." Old Madam Sun's face darkened. After coldly sweeping a gaze at Mu Yunyao, she said to First Wife Meng, "Meng clan, give Yao'er the eighty thousand taels of silver. Since it's not your own money, you shouldn't be afraid of getting burned if you keep it in your hands! The noise in the yard was outrageous. He hurriedly ordered his men to clean it up.
"Tidy up, it's really painful on my side. I'll head back to Peace Garden first."
"Greetings to Grandmother." When Lady Sun left, the First Wife raised her head and looked at Mu Yunyao with a venomous expression."Mu Yunyao, you should be proud of yourself now!" She really didn't expect that, at first, she thought that nothing would happen to Mu Yunyao, but unexpectedly, nothing happened to Mu Yunyao at all. Instead, she suffered heavy losses and didn't benefit her in any way ...
Even if he lost the authority of a butler and was grounded, he would still have to pay eighty thousand silver taels! Mu Yunyao gently caressed her cheek."The slap from before was really ruthless. I'm afraid this bruise will only disappear after the Autumn Hunt. I really don't understand what you're thinking, aunt. In any case, I was asked by the emperor to attend the meeting with him ... [Previous Chapter] [Table of Contents] [Next Chapter]
It's the Lunar Autumn Hunt. Aren't you afraid that the Emperor will pursue this matter after you openly made a move against me? "
She naturally knew that Mu Yunyao was going to participate in the Autumn Hunt, but she didn't put her in her heart. The Emperor had only set a precedent for her on a whim, so how could he possibly value her?
Seeing the First Madam's expression, Mu Yunyao chuckled, "But I still have to thank First Aunt. If you hadn't intervened today, then I wouldn't have been able to live a peaceful life in the future. From now on, mother and I can finally live in the Su Family safely."
"You ... You."That bitch!" The First Madame wished she could tear Mu Yunyao apart, but it was indeed as she said. From today onwards, no one in the Su Family would dare to slight them. After all, he had been in charge of the Su Clan for so many years and she had easily capsized the boat. Who would be so unlucky as to go against her? Mu Yunyao chuckled, "How can aunt say something so vulgar? Aren't you afraid of teaching her? I remember now, the Emperor ordered that all the young ladies should attend the Autumn Hunt in September, presumably to let Grand Princess Yi De take a closer look at the young ladies' sexuality ...
"For love, during the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Sister Yu Xiang had won first place, attracting the admiration of everyone. Originally, the chances of being chosen by Grand Princess Yi De was extremely high, but now that her arm has been broken, I'm afraid she won't have the fortune to do so."
The First Lady panted heavily as she felt her chest suffocating. She stared at Mu Yunyao for a long while before she actually couldn't catch a breath, and fainted on the spot.
Su Qingwu quickly stepped forward to catch her, raising his head and looking at Mu Yunyao with a solemn gaze.
He actually fainted just like that?
In her heart, Mu Yunyao felt that it was a pity. After coming in contact with Su Qingwu's line of sight, she smiled: "Cousin, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Yunyao, do you have to make a ruckus until the fishes die and the net breaks?" "I don't know if the net is broken or not, but the fish definitely aren't going to die. It's like what Eldest Aunt said, I grew up in the countryside. I'm from a lowly background, but my life is very hard. Mu Yunyao's gaze was cold, while her black and white eyes emitted an imposing aura ...
A formless killing intent and killing intent surged out, causing Su Qingwu to feel a chill in her heart.
Su Qingwu was at a loss for words. After a long while, she opened her mouth and said, "We are all one family, and our blood is connected. If the Su Clan falls, it will do you no good ..."
Mu Yunyao laughed coldly and smiled at Su Qingwu, a strange light flashing across her eyes: How can there not be any benefits, as long as the Su Family is unlucky, she will be happy, if she is happy, she can earn more silver taels, isn't that benefits?
"It's getting late. Mother, let's go back." She also did not want to continue staying in the East District. Looking at the First Madam's face, she felt an inexplicable sense of sympathy for her. Family members, blood relatives, all of these were just jokes.
