Mu Yunyao wiped her hands clean before letting six taels of silver in, "Are you saying that the junior master of the Rainbow Moon Pavilion, Tan Ba Wang, was beaten up by me in Huai An City?"
"Yes."
Mu Yunyao couldn't help but slightly retract her gaze, secretly pondering in her heart. What a coincidence, the person she saved was actually injured by Tan Bayang, then was this a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement?
"You cut off Tan Eight's follower's finger, I think he knows you."
"Yes, just now when I saw you saving someone, I did not report to you. Please punish me."
Mu Yunyao glanced at him. Ever since she asked him for his identity of six liang that day, this person had been exceptionally careful with her. His expression and attitude were respectful to the point that she wasn't used to it.
"Yes."
After leaving, Mu Yunyao thought for a moment before heading to the east wing. Her wounds were almost healed, but her personality was much calmer than before, and she would be in a daze from time to time. Su Qing had secretly advised her many times, but they were all fruitless.
At the bottom.
"Miss Mu, why have you come?"
Mu Yunyao saw the peony she was embroidering and saw layers upon layers of lifelike flower petals."Madam, you don't have to be in such a hurry. If you take too long, your eyes won't be able to take it."
A wry smile appeared on her face."Only when I'm working on the embroidery process can I feel a little bit more at ease. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"There are some things I would like to ask Madam, but ..." Mu Yunyao was a little worried, which touched her sore spot, but she couldn't rest easy without asking.
Ding Yue Lan immediately understood her hesitation and led Mu Yunyao into the room to sit down."Please ask, Miss." She had completely given up on the Ding family. Although she would still feel sad about it, she no longer felt as heartbroken as before.
"I would like to ask Madam, have you come into contact with anyone after the Ding Clan was defeated?"
Ding Yinglan carefully recalled: "After the tree had fallen and the monkeys had scattered, the Ding Clan had fallen, no one came to visit, especially my father..."Master Ding had a stroke while his body was paralyzed on the bed. He didn't even visit his relatives. I didn't notice anyone coming into contact with the Ding family..." "However, in the two days before Madame Ding decided to sell me into the Ru Yi Pavilion, she changed from her usual pained appearance and looked extremely happy. She even said that the heavens were kind enough to let her meet a noble person and that there would be a chance for her to return to Huai An City in the future.
"The mountain rises again." "Thank you, Madam, for your honest advice. After a few more days, the Neon Cloud Workshop will be reopened. If you are sincere, I will keep the position of the shopkeeper for you." Seeing Ding Yue Lan shake her head and refuse, Mu Yunyao said, "Madam, people have to keep looking forward. For the sake of some unworthy people, you have to waste time and effort.
It's really not worth it to spend the rest of my life here. I hope Madam can think about it more carefully."
"..."Thank you very much, I will think about it again."
Mu Yunyao smiled and nodded, "Then I'll be leaving first."
After leaving the east wing, Mu Yunyao's expression became cold. The person who came from Huai An City was definitely Tan Ba Wang, then when the Ru Yi Pavilion came to stir up trouble later, it was probably because he was behind the scenes probing for them. Then what about Qing Shui, was there any connection between him and Tan Ba Wang?
Cai Qing was taking care of Na'er and Ah Mao. When she saw Mu Yunyao walk in, she hurriedly stood up and greeted, "Greetings Miss Mu."
Mu Yunyao sat down on a chair at the side. Her cold gaze fell on Caiqing, and carried a dense sense of scrutiny."Caiqing, I heard that Tan Muwan has taken a fancy to you and seems to have the intention of taking you as his concubine?"
"Nan'er told me that I know all of these things, but I think there are some things that I don't. What do you think?"
Cai Qing stood with her hand on her dress, beads of sweat dripping down her forehead."I don't understand what you mean ..."
Caiqing clenched her teeth and suddenly took two steps forward. She knelt in front of Mu Yunyao with a guilty look in her eyes."I beg Miss, please save me!" Mu Yunyao's eyes were filled with a cold intent. When Nan'er suddenly spoke up, she didn't think too much about it, but now that things had come out, she couldn't help but feel that her words back then had been done on purpose. Nan'er that child's thoughts were pure and that she was timid, so how could she have the courage to come up and remind her?
The only possibility for her was that someone was behind her back!
"Why should I save a liar?"
She was used to seeing that extremely hypocritical young miss of the Su Clan. Caiqing quickly shook her head, "Miss Mu, I am not a swindler and have never thought of deceiving you. If I wasn't forced by others, how would I dare to provoke you? "It's that Tan Eighang. Previously, he framed Ah Mao and dirtied his clothes, insisting that we compensate him with a hundred taels of silver. If we cannot, then he will just leave."
If we were to beat Hairy to death, even if someone like us were to be killed, it would only be for the sake of losing some money."So in order to save Hairy, I had no choice but to obey his orders and let Nan'er approach you."
Mu Yunyao's expression was cold as she heard this. She sneered, "Nan'er treats you as her big sister and would rather starve herself to the point of eating nothing in order to bring the only two pastries back to you. How could you bear to use a child who trusts you so much?"
"I was also forced into a corner. If I didn't do that, they wouldn't even be alive ..." "Although we are not related by blood, I have watched over them since they were young. In order to save their lives, I have no other choice."
Mu Yunyao frowned and didn't make a sound. Qing Xin took two steps forward and kowtowed to Mu Yunyao, "This morning, Tan Ba Wang brought Liu Bing here, forced me to admit that he wanted to enter his residence as a concubine, and hinted for Nan'er to come and ask for help. He was sure that you would be merciful enough to save me, so he took Li'er away and gave me a packet of poison. If I had followed his instructions, he would have let Li Er go, and if I did not, he would have done everything he could to kill us all.
"I have no choice but to beg xiaojie for mercy..."
After she finished speaking, she took out a bag of medicinal powder and respectfully laid down on the ground; her appearance was extremely humble.
Mu Yunyao looked at Cai Qing who was lying on the ground and coldly smiled."How would I know that what you said is true? Who knows if you and Tan Ba Wang are secretly colluding to trap me?"
"I won't take the lives of Nan'er and the others as a joke. Miss Mu, every word I say is the truth and I will not hide anything from you!"
"If I don't come and ask you, what are you going to do?" Cai Qing's face paled. Under Mu Yunyao's gaze, she only felt that there was nothing to hide from the thoughts in her heart. I will find a chance to tell the young mistress ... "
"You won't!" Mu Yunyao stood up. If it wasn't for the fact that her expression was still flickering, she would have almost believed her words."Besides using Li'er to threaten you, Tan Ba Wang probably promised you quite a few benefits, right?" "No, he told me to take the medicine and kill myself, so how could he possibly allow me to take the benefits? Even if there were benefits, I wouldn't have the life to spend them ..."
