Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

Chapter 121

Uneasiness

Mu Yunyao had a smile on her face, but she said straightforwardly, “So you’re the owner of Ru Yi Pavilion?”

“Exactly . ”

“Since you’ve already spoken about the decree, then this matter will be much easier to handle . Jin Lan, show her the agreement signed between Ding Yuelan and my Ni Yun Fang . ” Mu Yunyao didn’t plan on wasting her breath .

“What contract?” The bawd looked at the object in Jin Lan’s hand, and her face turned pale . She rolled her eyes and sat on the ground while wailing, “My God, isn’t this asking for my life? This one who bought Ding Yuelan had spent ten thousand taels of silver, and now she has been robbed by someone else . How can I live like this? It might be better if I knock my head against the wall and die here…”

Mu Yunyao didn’t expect that the person who had been reasonable just a moment ago would suddenly act like a scoundrel and instantly frowned .

If she had known earlier that Ding Yue Lan had signed a contract with Ni Yun Fang, she would have happily received the ten thousand taels of silver last night . She blamed herself for listening to Lord Ding and Old Madam Ding’s instigation to strike a line ruthlessly from Mu Yunyao .

Many people who had to wait at the entrance of Jin Xiu Garden and were preparing to go to Bu Xian Luo for a cup of tea gathered around . Upon hearing the news about Ding Yuelan, they became even more interested . The Ding family’s matter had long become the topic of discussion for the citizens of Jingling City . Even now, people were still talking about it . They thought the members of the Ding family had already left Jingling City but did not expect that the sell Ding Yuelan to Ruyi Pavilion .

Ru Yi Pavilion was a brothel, and the great Xuan Fu had caused the downfall of his wife . If this news were to spread, wouldn’t the whole of Jingling City be thrown into chaos?

Mu Yunyao’s expression turned cold when she heard the discussions around her . “I have nothing to do with how much money you spent on buying Ding Yuelan, but before the time agreed on in the contract is up, she was the shopkeeper of Ni Yun Fang . If you continue to entangled with her, then don’t blame me for going against you!” With the contract in hand, she’s the one who was in charge .

“Miss Mu, you can easily make a dress worth a few thousand taels of silver, so naturally, you don’t know the hardships that we lowly people face . Who knows how many guests our lady has to accompany to earn back ten thousand taels of silver . I buy Ding Yuelan because I want her to be the pillar of our Ru Yi Pavilion . If you take her away, half of our Ru Yi Pavilion will collapse . Besides, let a person who came out of a brothel be the shopkeeper of Ni Yun Fang, who would dare to learn the embroidery needle technique . . . ”

“How dare you!” A stern shout suddenly sounded out, interrupting the bawd of Ru Yi Pavilion .

The crowd suddenly parted, and Lady Jin slowly walked over by holding Yin Hong’s hands .

When the bawd of Ru Yi Pavilion saw Lady Jin, her expression changed, and she hurriedly lowered her head .

Mu Yunyao stepped forward to support Lady Jin, silently hinting for her not to be angry .

There was a trace of a smile on her face, but when she went to look at the bawd of Ru Yi Pavilion, her expression had turned completely cold . “Since Ding Yuelan signed the contract with Ni Yun Fang first, then she is the shopkeeper of Ni Yun Fang . If you feel sorry for the money you spent, go and find the person who sold Ding Yuelan . If you dare to continue pestering and slandering Ni Yun Fang, then don’t blame me for being impolite . ”

Aside from the title that she had on her and based on the status of Cao Yunnian, it is also easy to seal a Ru Yi Pavilion!

“Yes, I know that I was wrong, and I don’t dare to mess around anymore . Please forgive me, Madam . ”

“Hurry up and leave!”

“Yes, yes, thank you for your magnanimity, Madam . ” The bawd of Ru Yi Pavilion quickly took her people and left .

Mu Yunyao looked at her back as she left in a hurry, but the space between her eyebrows didn’t loosen .

Seeing that her expression was off, Lady Jin thought that she was still thinking about what had just happened and comforted her . “Don’t worry about her . It’s just a matter of time before people start spreading rumors . It won’t affect us too much . ”

“Mm, I understand . Madam’s complexion looks much better today . ” Mu Yunyao naturally understood this logic, but she felt that things might not be as simple as they seemed . The bawd of Ru Yi Pavilion had just made a commotion, and she knows that it was more like a joke .

When Su Qing accompanied Lady Jin for a walk in the garden, Mu Yunyao called over Liu Liang . “Someone from Ru Yi Pavilion has arrived today . I feel unease in my heart . Go and check with Lord Ding and Madam Ding to see if they have come into contact with anyone . ”

“Yes, Mistress . ”

Jin Lan brought over a cup of tea . Seeing Mu Yunyao frown, she carefully asked, “Miss, do you think there’s a problem with this?”

Mu Yunyao slightly nodded her head, “The bawd of Ru Yi Pavilion isn’t stupid . No matter how beautiful Lady Ding is, she shouldn’t have spent ten thousand taels of silvers on someone . Furthermore, when she discovered that we had the agreement signed by Lady Ding in our hands, her attitude changed too suddenly . After seeing Lady Jin, she was even more afraid to refute, just turned around and walked away . No matter how you look at it, it seems like she was testing me . ”

“Test?”

“Let’s see if Liu Liang can find something first . ” Whether it’s Ni Yun Fang or Bu Xian Luo, many people are envious and jealous in secret . No one knew if there would be anyone who would be unable to hold back and take action . Furthermore, she had secretly taken a movement in order to get the embroidery lady back then, locking down a Cai Yue Pavilion . After all this time, it was hard to avoid the people from Cai Yue Pavilion not finding out about her, so it wasn’t a bad idea to be extra careful .

Liu Liang went to investigate, but after two days, he still could not find any clues .

Mu Yunyao wasn’t too worried . There wasn’t any reason for a person to guard against thieves every day . If there really someone behind Ru Yi Pavilion, then they would definitely make a move . She just needed to be careful when dealing with them .

These past few days, Mu Yunyao had been staring at Ni Yun Fang as she looked at Bu Xian Luo . It was rare for her to not busy and take time off, so she brought Jin Lan and Jin Qiao out to stroll around the streets .

When they arrived on the street, they found a cheerful atmosphere everywhere, and suddenly there were many stalls selling rabbit lanterns and moon cakes .

Mu Yunyao thought for a moment and couldn’t help but have a sudden understanding . “Tomorrow should be the Mid-Autumn Festival, right?”

“Yes, Miss . Miss, you haven’t mentioned it these past two days . This servant thought that you didn’t like Mid-Autumn Festival . ”

“How could I didn’t like the Mid-Autumn Festival?” It was just that this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival only consisted of her and her mother . When she was in Xiayan Village, every Mid-Autumn Festival, her dad would take her to Yuncheng City to catch a big gathering . At that time, many of the children would carry a rabbit lantern in their hands . But none of them looked as beautiful as the one in her hands . It was because her father had personally made the lantern for her, with long ears, a fat body, red eyes, and a few trembling whiskers when she walked . It was hard to tell how many children were envious of her .

“Miss, you like rabbit lantern, how about this servant buy one for you?” Jin Lan couldn’t help but ask when she was lost in thought while looking at the rabbit lantern .

Mu Yunyao shook her head . “There’s no need . Take a look will do . Let’s go . ”

In her heart, she was no longer a thirteen-year-old child . Even if she were to bring back the rabbit lantern, she would not be able to find her usual innocence . Moreover, the most beautiful lantern already imprinted in her mind . Looking at the ones sold in the stalls, She feels nothing more .

“Yes . ” Jin Lan secretly looked at Mu Yunyao . She felt that there was an indescribable emotion on her body as if she was sighing with emotion or reminiscing . It was so complicated that it was hard to tell them apart .
