Usually, he would coax women to have fun, but now that he looked at Mu Yunyao, he felt that everything was too abrupt. He could only accept the teacup and absent-mindedly savor it, "Miss's skills in brewing tea are peerless in the world, only the fragrance of the tea can be smelled!
and I feel a bit drunk."
"Lord, you praise too much."
Just as Li Yuan was about to say something, Steward Qin's voice came from the door, "Sir Li, the Salt Clan's Envoy just sent a follower over to invite Sir Li back to the yamen for a discussion."
Li Yuan frowned, feeling extremely unhappy in his heart. Li Mu Nian was really nosy!
Mu Yunyao smiled and said, "If Sir has anything to do, then go and busy yourself first. If you want some tea in the future, send someone to inform me in advance. At that time, I'll find some new tea for you to taste." "Alright, if that's the case, then we'll agree on it." Li Yuan knew that he had seen through his tricks, so he did not dare to stay any longer. Although the beauty was important, if he angered Li Munian and reported his actions to Prime Minister Li, then maybe they would do something about it ...
The future of the branch would be affected.
"Mm, Yunyao respectfully sees sire out." Once Li Yuan had left, Mu Yunyao took the seal and hurried back to the study. Manager Qin had already carried out the box and it was full of written posts. If Li Yuan was here, he would have definitely discovered that the handwriting was exactly the same.
It was extremely difficult to notice the difference.
Mu Yunyao quickly took out the seal and sealed the letter. Then, she cleaned up the imprint and returned it to its original state. She placed it in her scented pouch and handed it to Yu Yi who was waiting by the side, "Be careful, you must not let Li Yuan detect any abnormalities."
"Don't worry, miss." Yu Yi took the scented sachet and quickly left the beautiful flower garden, chasing after Li Yuan.
Li Yuan was in a bad mood as he rode his horse towards the government office. As he was passing through a cross street, a horse carriage suddenly rushed out, causing his horse to be shocked and almost shaking him down.
Some of the stalls on the street were knocked over and he panicked. He quickly steadied his horse and got off the horse. At that moment, a child was knocked over by the horse and flew straight into his arms.
He quickly reached out to catch the person and saw that there were soldiers rushing over. His face was gloomy as he ordered, "What happened? Hurry up and kill the horse, so as not to hurt any more innocent people."
"Yes, milord."
One of the women stepped forward to thank Li Yuan."Thank you for saving us, or my child might have fallen to his death."
Li Yuan handed the child over to the woman."Be careful in the future."
"Yes, many thanks to the lord for saving my life. You are truly a good official!"
"Hurry up and send our child to the infirmary. The impact was not light." He had always been kind to the people, and had won a good name for it.
"Yes, yes!" The woman quickly carried the child and ran towards the Benevolence Hall. Inside, Zhang Chun led the woman and the child to the backyard.
Seeing that there was no one around, the child in the woman's embrace jumped down and handed Yu Yi the scented sachet."Sir, the scented sachet has been exchanged over. Li Yuan did not notice anything amiss."
"Alright, you can take the silver and head to Huai An City overnight. That place has already opened, so I'll get people to arrange things for you."
"Yes, milord."
In the Embroidery Garden, Mu Yunyao finally relaxed after receiving Yu Yi's news that everything had gone smoothly. She placed the sealed card into a box and gave it to him. She then sent him six taels of silver to head to Yangzhou City that very night.
When everything was settled, Mu Yunyao let out a heavy sigh of relief. The corner of her lips lifted high, and she was extremely happy in her heart: "We'll be waiting slowly from now on." Yue Yang was curious, "Is this the method you thought of to extract silver from the salt merchants?" Mu Yunyao had previously said that Mu Yunyao would not take a single cent from the silver that the salt was sold for. He kept speculating what method Mu Yunyao would use to squeeze more silver from the salt merchant ...
Now that he saw that batch of posts, he could somewhat guess what they were about. Mu Yunyao couldn't help but laugh with a sly smile in her clear eyes."Which salt merchant in Jiangnan isn't rich? Every year, watching the tides on the Qiantang River, the boxes of golden leaves that were tossed into the tides would last for several years. Simply cutting off a batch of their salt was simply too much ...
"It's too cheap. No matter what, we have to make them bleed a little more."
"Then I shall wait and see. However, you must be careful. Just let all of them come. Don't come out directly." "I know." If she personally offended those salt merchants, it would be difficult for them to establish a foothold in Jiangnan. After all, the salt merchants' power was not to be underestimated. The reason why King Yue was able to easily succeed this time around was only because the salt merchants were not on guard.
In such a situation, it would be hard to say who would win and who would lose.
After settling a matter, Mu Yunyao felt extremely relaxed. After bidding farewell to the Titan King, she first went to the flower room to choose a high grade two-colored peony pot, then cut many fox tailed lilies. She carefully inserted them into a spring vase and brought them to the flower hall before going to the kitchen to prepare a meal.
"Miss, I haven't tasted your culinary skills in a long time. No matter what happens, I must reward you with a dish today."
Mu Yunyao was happy in her heart, but in her heart she was also thinking jokingly, "No reward!"
Jin Qiao giggled as she begged, "Miss, please have pity on us. The gluttony in your stomach is about to revolt."
"Then I'll let you guys eat together and feed the gluttony in your stomachs!"
Jinlan and Jinqiao were overjoyed."We were actually exposed to the light of gluttony. However, it's good enough for us to have a taste of Miss's culinary skills."
When Su Qing returned at night, she saw Mu Yunyao, who was waiting at the door."It's almost dark. Why is Yao`er standing here?"
Mu Yunyao went up to grab onto Su Qing's arm and pulled her straight to the parlour."Mother, come quickly. Today, I'm the one who's going to cook. I've cooked a lot of delicious food, so we're going to have a fun time together."
"Oh? What makes you so happy? "
"It was because I saw that mother was working hard that I decided to cook. Mother, you have to praise me well later on." Mu Yunyao blinked her eyes as a radiant smile blossomed on her face, causing Su Qing to burst into laughter.
"Alright, when mother praises your craftsmanship in the future, I'll have to praise your shamelessness!"
Mu Yunyao cupped her face with both hands, turned her head, and said obediently, "Mom, look at my smooth and delicate face, I need to find a word to describe it ... "Un, that is skin that is so smooth and creamy that it can be easily broken with a blow. You don't need to praise it to see it to your heart's content."
Su Qing couldn't stop from laughing."Come over here and let mother pinch you to see if you can break it with a blow." "That won't do. If I break it, mother will feel sorry for me."
