Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

Chapter 211

Purpose Achieved

Li Yuanyi didn’t want to taste tea at that time . 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, and I feel a bit drunk just by smelling the fragrance of tea . ”

“Lord, you praise me too much . ”

Mu Yunyao smiled and said, “If Lord has anything to do, then go and busy yourself first . If you want to drink tea later, you will 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 Yuanyi is afraid of Li Mu Nian . He knows that his previous tricks have been seen through by him . At this time, he does not dare to stay any longer . Even though beauty is essential, but if he angers Li Munian and reports his actions to Prime Minister Li, maybe they will do something, and the future of the branch office will be affected .

“Well, Yunyao respectfully sees Lord Li out . ” Once Li Yuanyi had left, Mu Yunyao took the seal and hurried back to the study . Steward Qin had already taken out the box, which was full of well-written posts . If Li Yuanyi did here, he would definitely find that the handwriting on it was exactly the same as his handwriting . Even if he observed more carefully, it would be remarkably 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 a scented pouch and handed it to Yu Yi, who was waiting by the side, “Be careful, you must not let Li Yuanyi detect any abnormalities . ”

“Don’t worry, Miss . ” Yu Yi took the scented sachet and quickly left Jin Xiu Garden, chasing after Li Yuanyi .

Li Yuanyi 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 knocked over, and he panicked . He quickly steadied his horse and got off the horse . At that moment, a child was knocked over by a horse and flew straight into his arms .

He quickly reached out to catch the child and saw that some officers and soldiers were rushing over not far away . His face was gloomy as he ordered, “What happened? Hurry up and kill the startled horse as soon as possible, so as not to hurt any more innocent people . ”

“Yes, Milord . ”

One of the women stepped forward to thank Li Yuanyi . “Thank you for saving us, or my child might have fallen to his death . ”

Li Yuanyi handed the child over to the woman . “Be careful in the future . ”

“Yes, many thanks to the Lord for saving my child’s life . You are truly a good official!”

“Hurry up and send your child to the hospital . The impact was not light . ” He had always been kind to the people and had won a good reputation for it .

“Yes, yes!” The woman quickly carried the child and ran towards Ren Shan Tang, which not far away from them . 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 directly jumped down and handed the scented sachet to Yu Yi . “My Lord, the scented sachet has been exchanged over, and Li Yuanyi did not notice anything amiss . ”

“Alright, you can take the silver and head to Huai’an City overnight . Bu Xian Luo has already opened there, so I’ll get people to arrange things for you . ”

“Yes, my Lord . ”

In Jin Xiu Garden, Mu Yunyao finally relaxed after receiving Yu Yi’s news that everything had gone smoothly . She placed the sealed posts into a box and gave it to Liu Liang . She then sent Liu Liang to head to Yangzhou City that very night .

After everything settled properly, Mu Yunyao let out a heavy sigh of relief . The corner of her lips lifted high, and she was so happy in her heart: “We’ll be waiting slowly from now on . ”

Yue Wang couldn’t help being curious, “That’s how you came up with the idea of extracting silver from the salt merchants?” Mu Yunyao had previously said that she would not take a single cent of the silver that got from selling the stolen salt . 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 something .

Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but laugh with a sly smile in her clear eyes . “Which salt merchant in Jiangnan isn’t rich enough? Every year, watching the tides on the Qiantang River, the boxes of golden leaves that tossed into the tides are enough for the people of Jingling City to chew for a few years . Just cutting off a batch of their salt was really 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 and let Qi Ming come out . You don’t have to come out directly . ”

“I know . ” If she personally offended those salt merchants, Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo would be hard to establish a foothold in Jiangnan . After all, they should not underestimate the salt merchants’ power . The reason why Yue Wang was able to succeed easily this time around was only that the salt merchants were not on guard . If we really show off our ferocity and fight fiercely, without using power . In such a situation, it would be hard to say who would win and who would lose .

After settling the matter, Mu Yunyao felt very relaxed . After bidding farewell to Yue Wang, she first went to the greenhouse to choose a high-grade two-colored peony pot, and then cut many fox tailed lilies . She carefully inserted them into a spring vase and brought them to the parlor before going to the kitchen to prepare a meal .

“Miss, I haven’t tasted your culinary skills for a long time . No matter what happens, you must reward us 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 my stomach is about to revolt . ”

“Then, I’ll let you guys eat together and feed the gluttony in your stomachs!”

Jin Lan and Jin Qiao were overjoyed . “We actually caught 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 waiting at the door . “It’s getting dark . Why is Yao’er standing here?”

Mu Yunyao went up to grab onto Su Qing’s arm and pulled her straight to the parlor . “Mother, come quickly . Today, I’m the one who is cooking . 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, so I specially prepared a meal for you . 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, “Mother, look at my smooth and delicate face, you need to find a word to describe it … Un, that is skin that is so smooth and creamy that it can easily break with a blow . You don’t need to praise it if you want to see it to your heart’s content . ”

Su Qing couldn’t stop laughing . “Come over here and let Mother pinch you to see if it can break with a blow . ”

“That won’t do . If I break it, Mother will feel sorry for me . ”
