After returning from the Cao family, Mu Yunyao told Su Qing about Lady Jin's situation. After Su Qing heard this, she praised her as she said, "If Madam Jin hadn't supported me back then, then we wouldn't be together today. I know that after spending so much time together, there are inevitably some things that we can use to make use of each other. human emotion
"It's not easy to make up one's mind in one day's time. Now that I've been with Lady Jin for a long time, I know her character and have a true relationship with her, so I don't need to think about gains and losses anymore. I just need to take care of them more."
Mu Yunyao was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, mother is right." In this new life, her heart had become cold and hard. She could meticulously scheme for the sake of achieving her goal, but she did not want to become someone who would stop at nothing. Otherwise, what difference was there between her and the Su family and Prince Jin who she hated?
The neon city square had naturally been burned down and needed to be rebuilt. Lady Jin gave her the original deed to the small house. Mu Yunyao didn't reject it after thanking her. After waiting for the building to enter its proper path, she would occasionally go there to take a look at the progress of the neon city square's reconstruction.
She had already made arrangements for Jinlan and Jinqiao to ask. Other than three people who had already signed a contract with the other families, the other dozen people had all agreed to come to Nebula Market to work.
In these past few days, Mu Yunyao had made quite a bit of money, so she bought silk threads and cloths for the embroidery ladies to try out and make clothes. Not to mention the fact that both of them had decent talent, any clothes made according to her appearance would have been sold after a slight modification.
When Lady Jin heard Mu Yunyao's suggestion, she came to the Garden of Embroidery almost every day. It was unknown if it was because she was in a relaxed mood, but she was actually able to eat Su Qing's cooking and praised Su Qing's craftsmanship continuously. Within a few days, the two of them had gotten familiar with each other.
After knowing that Su Qing was going to be in charge of Nebula Pavilion in the future, Lady Jin started to casually reveal the situation of the other families, allowing Su Qing to benefit greatly from this.
Seeing her mother and Lady Jin getting along harmoniously, Mu Yunyao was naturally happy in her heart. She focused her attention on the embroidery ladies who were making clothes, and seeing that the New Cloud Market was about to have a golden signboard, she knew that she couldn't do anything that would damage her reputation.
After dinner, Mu Yunyao started to design clothes in the study, then suddenly knocked on the door.
"What's wrong?"
"Mistress, I found traces of Mrs. Ding!"
Mu Yunyao hurriedly raised her head. She had been escorted to the capital to interrogate Master Xuan, and the Ding family had also been plundered. She had not received any news from Ding Yue and had even thought that she had left Tomb City with Master Ding and Old Madam Ding."Where is he?"
"Ru Yi Pavilion."
"Ru Yi Pavilion?" Mu Yunyao carefully thought about it for a moment. She had never heard of this place before.
His expression was unnatural for a moment."..."In Cross Lane."
Mu Yunyao's expression suddenly changed. The Crossroads Lane was where all the brothels of the Mausoleum City gathered. Presumably, the Ru Yi Pavilion was one of those gentle places."Bring the silver notes with you to redeem them."
"Mistress, the bawd asked for 10, 000 taels."
Mu Yunyao's face turned even uglier, "That old procuress probably knew my relationship with Madam Ding and dared to ask so openly. Isn't it just ten thousand taels, give it to her!"
Six taels of silver brought the banknotes out, but in less than an hour, a person came back."The bawd said that the price was 10, 000 taels, and now the price is 20, 000 taels."
Mu Yunyao coldly smiled."You really do know how to raise the price. I didn't want to cause any more trouble, but since the Ru Yi Pavilion is too greedy, since you won't let them go, then go ask Supervisor Qin for two people to snatch Lady Ding out!"
"Yes." He immediately turned around and left.
"... Thank you, Miss Mu." As soon as Ding Yue Lan entered the door, she tried her best to stand firm on her feet. Unfortunately, she was wounded all over and fell to the ground.
Mu Yunyao hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, "Madam Ding, how did you become like this?"
Ding Yue Lan was extremely thin, with wounds all over her body. Her hair was messy and her face was pale. Where did she find the slightest trace of her usual elegance?
Hearing Mu Yunyao's question, Ding Yinglan let out a miserable laugh, "I had thought that even if they weren't biological, after living together for so many years, they still had feelings of separation and separation. Who would have thought that their hearts had already darkened ..." As he said this, his tears continued to fall and he fainted on his bloodstained clothes."Jinlan, prepare some food. Jinlan, prepare some hot water and clean clothes. Rinse well and eat something first." Mu Yunyao roughly guessed what had happened. She couldn't help but let out a sigh in her heart. Ding Yue's mind was filled with the kindness of nurturing her daughter. Who would have thought that Lord Ding and Old Madam Ding would be together ...
She was treated as a tool to profit, so how could anyone care about the life and death of such a tool?
Like a puppet whose soul had been extracted, her entire face was a little dazed. After being washed by a beautiful lady, she was finally able to regain her senses.
Mu Yunyao took the medicine bottle, and when she helped Ding Yue Lan apply the medicine, she couldn't help but frown. The injuries on her body were a little too severe, and looked a bit new and old.
Ding Yue Lan's face was still pale as she said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, Lady Mu."
Jin Lan brought up the plain porridge and side dishes. Mu Yunyao pushed the food in front of Ding Yue, "I heard that you've been locked up for a long time and haven't eaten, so I let Jin Lan boil some porridge. Eat less first so that your body won't be unable to corrode it, even though this is a study room, the inner room is separated by me, and all the bedding is new.
You can rest here for the night, and when tomorrow comes, I'll get someone to clean up your room."
When Mu Yunyao finished speaking, she saw Ding Yue Lan nod her head and slowly left.
Jinlan and Jinqiao, who were guarding the door, asked with concern, "Miss, is Manager Ding alright?"
"The wounds on her body are easy to treat, but the wounds on her heart are not. She was probably hurt to the core by Old Master Ding and Old Lady Ding, so she hopes to get over it as soon as possible."Jinqiao, you can stay here. If there's anything that Mrs Ding needs, help me take care of it."
"Yes, miss."
The next day, Mu Yunyao had just finished her breakfast with Su Qing. Jin Lan quickly walked in and reported, "Miss, the people from the Ru Yi Pavilion are here. They want to bring Shopkeeper Ding back."
Su Qing had also heard about the incident with Ding Yue Lan and was extremely furious."Yao'er, you can't send Lady Ding back to that fire pit."
"Mother, don't worry. I know what to do." As Mu Yunyao walked towards the door, she instructed Jin Lan, "Go and guard the door. It should be about time for Lady Jin to come over. Don't let the people from the Ru Yi Pavilion charge into her."
"Yes."
It was obvious that she was a beauty when she was young. When Mu Yunyao did not cause a ruckus, her words were laced with thorns as she said, "Miss Mu is very polite, Miss Mu. In recent days, Miss Mu has taught the girls in Ziling City the embroidery needlework, and us lowly people have heard of it, but we cannot learn it from you. We also admire you in our hearts, but no matter how much gratitude you have towards Ziling City, you can still pass it down.
