"Many, this servant recklessly guessed that it was Lady Jin who gave this servant and the rest of the servants' indenture contract to Miss."
The smile on Mu Yunyao's face didn't waver as she turned around to look at Jin Qiao."You're guessing the same thing?"
"To reply Miss, this servant is not smart. I can't see through anything, and will only do what is on my hands. But elder sister is very smart, so I am willing to follow elder sister." The luscious beauty restrained her lively temperament, looking extremely obedient as she knelt at the side.
Mu Yunyao leisurely drank half a cup of tea before standing up to help the two of them up, "Your guesses are correct, Lady Jin has indeed given me the indenture contract."
Jin Lan heaved a sigh of relief. She knew that she had made the right bet this time.
"Alright, now tell me what else the two of you discovered." Mu Yunyao motioned for the two to speak."It's been a while since the Nebula Market has been peaceful." Jin Lan no longer hesitated, and told her the discovery she had made in her heart. Whether it was true or false, she still needed Mu Yunyao to decide for herself, "Miss, these few days, we have discovered that Jin Qiu and Jin Jin Jin often lost their minds, as if they had something on their minds.
"There is a pair of jade bracelets on Ju Jin's wrist. They are worth at least a hundred taels of silver."
Mu Yunyao's eyes moved as a trace of coldness appeared on the corner of her lips."Jinqiu and Jinhua, although these two aren't the best, they're only slightly inferior to you two. What a pity."
Hearing her words, it seemed like she was going to deal with Jinqiu and Jinhua, Jinqiao could not help but plead, "Miss, perhaps we've misjudged them. Jinqiu and Jinhua are still not bad on normal days."
"Since you've chosen to follow me, I won't hide the truth from you. Jin Qiu and Jin Jin both took a leave of absence from me because their family members were sick, but after the two of them left, they did not return home. Instead, they went around in circles and entered the back door of the Rainbow Moon Pavilion." They had long since heard about the shopkeeper making things difficult for the young miss. They were even secretly worried that the Rainbow Moon Pavilion would completely suppress the Rainbow Cloud Workshop, so that they would not gain anything from it."Young miss, could it be that the two of them revealed their embroidery techniques to the young lady?
"Rainbow Moon Pavilion?" I don't dare to be sure, but I'm pretty sure that the two of them will find out today. I believe that in the entire Tomb City, other than me and the ten of you, no one else knows the embroidery needlework. Madam Inspector will be hosting a beggar's day banquet at the Gale Tower. When that time comes, all the ladies will be attending, and Caiyue will be attending ...
If the Pavilion were to obtain those embroidery techniques, it would definitely not be so silent and uncontainable."
"Miss, then what do I need to do?"
"You'd better call me girl. I was born into poverty and did not have the life of a young lady. You two helped me watch over Jin Qiu and Jin Ju. If things are as I expected, these two people can't be left alive! " As Mu Yunyao spoke, the cold aura around her flashed past.
Jin Lan and Jin Qiao's faces turned white. Then, they nodded heavily."Yes, young lady."
After exiting the room, she recalled Mu Yunyao's ice-cold expression just now and felt fear in her heart."Elder sister, how do you think Miss will punish them?"
"It has nothing to do with us. Since we have accepted you as our master, we will try our best from now on. With your temper, you will not mistreat us."
The reason she'd chosen Mu Yunyao wasn't because she guessed that she was holding onto the indenture contract, but because her temperament and style of conduct were really out of the ordinary.
Moreover, as a merchant woman, she was able to act effortlessly among Lady Jin and the others. In fact, Lady Jin's attitude toward her was becoming more and more intimate.
Mu Yunyao took out the indenture contract between Jin Qiu and Jin Ju, and her eyes dimmed slightly as she looked at the red handprint on the contract.
These two were the sons of the Cao family. They had the backing of Lady Jin and the Cao family and usually treated her very casually. After learning a lot of embroidery techniques, they secretly contacted the people in Cao family, hoping to return to Lady Jin's side.
She had thought that if the two of them had no intention of staying in the Nebula Pavilion, they would be doing her a favor and return them to Lady Jin. She had never imagined that they would have other intentions. Once it was confirmed that the two of them had sold their embroidery techniques to the Rainbow Moon Pavilion, the matter would not be resolved so easily. In the afternoon, about two hours before the banquet began, Lady Jin and the rest arrived at the Neon Cloud Workshop. Upon entering the main hall, Lady Jin couldn't help but laugh and say, "I already said that this is the best place to hide. Look at this girl's leisurely look, I'm envious of her."
"It's amazing."
Mu Yunyao was leaning on the beauty bed, thinking about how she should dress in the next few days. Hearing Lady Jin's words, she hurriedly got up to tidy up her skirt, then saluted the four madams with a smile, "Greetings Madam, Yunyao is rude, please forgive me."
Lady Zhao, Lady Chen and Lady Wu's expressions were much better than the last time they came. As they spoke, they were even more intimate with Mu Yunyao."Quickly don't be overly courteous. No wonder Lady Jin would praise you along the way. I can't help but be envious of the layout of this hall!"
Many things were bought in succession in the great hall of the first floor. Flowers bloomed, powdered, and golden carps could feel a chill as soon as they entered the door. It was as if they had drunk a mouthful of ice water on a hot summer's day, making them feel comfortable from head to toe.
Mu Yunyao hurriedly directed the two sisters, Jin Qiao and Jin Lan, to serve tea."I have nothing to do, so I've focused all of my attention on how to manage the Neon Cloud Workshop. Unlike the other ladies, who are usually busy with all sorts of things, would not be in the mood to care about small matters like this." Yun Yao's clever mouth is something no one can compare to! " However, with her current identity, if not for the fact that she truly treated Mu Yunyao as her own junior, she would definitely not speak in such a casual manner."It's hot right now.
"There are still about two hours left. It just so happens that the few ladies have come here today. Since I have nothing better to do, I came up with a few pearls. Would the ladies be interested in having a look?" Mu Yunyao served tea after tea before speaking.
Madame Zhao smiled."We already said that we'd make it in time, but it's better if we make it in time. We've made it in time. With your skills, you naturally have to take a good look." There were only four pearls, placed on a tray spread out on a blue velvet cloth. They were the laurel, jadeflower, paraphrase flower, and lily in the shape of a flower, using a hard yarn mixed with gold and silver thread to form the shape of a flower. Carefully wearing various kinds of jade beads the size of rice grains, they sparkled with a slight movement, then matched with the clothes of the four madams, it could be said that they were formed from nature itself, making them appear even more elegant.
