Mu Yunyao slightly closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling."Big Sister Silver Red, please come over specially. I'll go with you."
Seeing that she was about to return the gesture, Yin Hong hastily dodged, "Miss, I've already prepared the carriage. I'll be waiting for you at the door."
Seeing the look of fear on her face, Mu Yunyao only smiled and didn't say anything more. She returned to her room and spoke to Su Qing for a while before changing her clothes. Then, she followed Yin Hong out of the carriage.
Within the Cao family's mansion, the road was still neat and tidy. However, all the servants seemed to be tense and their expressions were trembling with fear.
When Mu Yunyao saw Lady Jin, she was instantly shocked by her expression."Madam, what happened to you?"
The normally radiant Madam Jin's face was currently deathly pale, with a heavy sense of weariness between her brows. Hearing Mu Yunyao's voice, she stood up and held her hand, waving to the maids at the side."All of you can leave."
Waiting until the maids had left, Madam Jin pulled Mu Yunyao to the side. With a haggard face and a bitter voice, she said, "Yunyao, I don't know how to thank you. If it wasn't for you, I'm afraid I'd be kept in the dark for the rest of my life."
Mu Yunyao felt a little uncomfortable in her heart as she watched the strong and resolute woman of the past transform into her current appearance. She was still extremely appreciative of Lady Jin."Madam, did you investigate anything?"
"Earlier, when you tasted the bitterness in your heart, I had Yin Hong secretly look for a doctor to verify it. Finally, amidst the dim sum, I discovered the herb called Erigeron Erigeron. This herb is very cold and I haven't had a child for so many years because I've been eating it for a long time." Lady Jin didn't conceal anything and told Mu Yunyao everything.
After I got married, the dowry I received from the clan was especially generous. I had thought that I was highly regarded by the clan, and had even secretly celebrated for a long time, and had even painstakingly helped the clan plan it out for so many years. Who would have known that? "In the end, I only realized that I'm just a chess piece that people can play with as they wish ..."
Mu Yunyao didn't feel that it was a surprise and dared to openly mess with Lady Jin's heart. Since no one had found out for a long time, she must be a completely unguarded person by now."Madam, you don't have to be too sad. It's not too late to find out now.
Lady Jin forced a smile and wiped her tears with a handkerchief."How could it be that easy? After so many years, I'm afraid my body has already been completely injured."
"Madam is gentle and kind, and has always done many good deeds. Heaven will not treat you so harshly. As long as you are patient and recuperate, you will be able to cure her."
Lady Jin grabbed Mu Yunyao's hand, her voice filled with urgency."Yunyao, do you have a way to help me recuperate? As long as I can get a girl and a half, anything I can do, I'll agree to it!"
Under Madam Jin's nervous gaze, Mu Yunyao slowly nodded."Madam, although I know a bit about medicine, compared to those doctors, I can't compare. I can only try my best."
"Good, good, do your best." Lady Jin cried tears of joy.
She knew that her bet had been right. Mu Yunyao's gentle reminder had definitely tasted what was in her heart, which meant that she definitely knew medicine. Currently, she only felt that her surroundings were filled with danger. If she found another doctor, who knew if she would be bribed by her mother's family? Moreover, once word of this got out, he didn't know how his family would react, "Yunyao, I don't even know how to thank you."
"If Madam truly feels apologetic, then you can really do me a favor." Mu Yunyao smiled as she spoke.
"Tell me, tell me, as long as it's something I can do, I will definitely help you." Her straightforward words made Lady Jin feel that she had a plan. Since Mu Yunyao dared to straightforwardly propose conditions, she must have had the confidence to help her recuperate.
"I heard that Madam managed a restaurant in the Tombal City, but it was only because of the influence of the Gale Tower. Her business wasn't very good, so I wanted to rent Madam's restaurant at the market price." Mu Yunyao looked for a long time before picking out that place. The location wasn't bad, and with Lady Jin as a backer, it was likely that even if the Rainbow Moon Pavilion wanted to make things difficult for them, they still had to consider it carefully.
"That restaurant has a huge loss. I didn't want to do it for a long time. Since you've taken a fancy to it, you can just use it. What are you talking about renting it for?" Lady Jin felt slightly more at ease, and immediately regained her spirits. She called out to Yin Hong to come in, telling her to quickly get the room deed.
"Madam, I've already said that blood brothers still calculate clearly. For such a good restaurant, the annual rent alone would be several thousand taels. If you give it to me for free, I'm afraid you won't be able to rest well day and night." Mu Yunyao's smile was sincere and natural, and although she spoke a bit more intimately with Lady Jin, she didn't forget to be respectful and orderly.
Lady Jin thought for a moment before nodding her head happily."Alright. However, the market price is a bit too low right now. You only need to pay me according to the market price of the seventh floor. You're not allowed to refuse. I'll really be angry then."
Mu Yunyao had a bright smile on her face as she got up and obediently bowed to Lady Jin."Yes, then I'll wait until I earn a large sum of money before bringing a generous gift to thank Madam Jin."
Lady Jin was amused by her appearance and felt a bit more relaxed in her heart. If she had discovered that someone was secretly harming her, her children would probably be around the same age as Mu Yunyao.
Taking the room deed, she carefully prepared the lease deed. After the two sides personally signed it and pressed their handprints, Mu Yunyao's brothel could be considered to be within reach.
This time, Mu Yunyao didn't refuse. When she saw the dishes on the table, she couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
"There's nothing that I'm not used to eating. It's just that my mother is a bit stubborn about not letting me eat seafood. Today, you must eat enough with Madam here." Mu Yunyao wasn't overly cautious. Now that her relationship with Lady Jin had progressed further, if they were too distant, it would instead make Lady Jin feel uneasy.
"It seems like there are a lot of things I didn't think of. I was greedy since I was young and I've heard about some cold seafood dishes, but the wet nurse was especially lenient towards me. She even said that as long as I get some hot ginger and nothing bad, I will keep this habit."
"It's not a problem to eat occasionally, as long as it's not every day."
Lady Jin ate without eating, but Mu Yunyao was extremely satisfied. There were some dishes that couldn't be bought with money, but once she saved up enough money, she would definitely let her mother taste all the delicacies in the world.
After finishing their meal, Mu Yunyao asked for pen and paper, and carefully wrote down the things that needed to be paid attention to in order to recuperate."Madam is usually a little more careful, now that it's summer, it's a good time to disperse the cold air.
"Alright." Mu Yunyao was pulled by Lady Jin again and talked for a while before Mu Yunyao was finally able to leave.
