C101 Su Qing was injured
When Mu Yunyao returned to the Ni Yun Fang Workshop, she saw that Su Qing was fidgeting uneasily.
"What happened to mother?"
"Yao Er, you're finally back. Mother has some things she wants to discuss with you. Let's go, we'll talk alone upstairs."
Mu Yunyao used her eyes to signal Jin Lan and her mother to stay, and followed Su Qing up the stairs: "Mother, what do you think of Si Qin and the others?"
Su Qing frowned, "What I want to talk to you about is Si Qin and the other three; mother is only one person, there is no need for so many people to serve her. Besides, I keep having the feeling that they aren't any ordinary maids, I don't even know who bought them back in six taels."
"Mother, all four of them signed the death contract. With the indenture in hand, I'm not afraid of them not serving us wholeheartedly. Who cares who they are?"
"That's not what I meant. I just feel that the four of them have an extraordinary bearing, which makes me feel extremely uncomfortable." Su Qing couldn't clearly explain his feelings, he only felt that he was short of breath in front of the four of them.
Mu Yunyao pulled her to sit on a chair, and gently held her shoulders: "Mother, I already have the ability to make you live better, so naturally I have to find a few more people to serve you, so that you can enjoy your blessings. This is all due to my daughter's filial piety, you cannot reject it!"
"Yao Er..."
"Furthermore, the four of them aren't simple maids. I told mother before that the four of them were afraid that proclaim and the rest would find trouble in secret. These four people more or less know martial arts and are able to protect mother's safety."
"Then …" Su Qing hesitated for a moment, then nodded his head: "Alright then."
Mu Yunyao couldn't help but think that she must let Su Qing train more in the future. Otherwise, when she reached the Su Family in the future, just the words she said would already make her want to cry every day.
In the next few days, the Ni Yun Fang Workshop was rather quiet, but the entire Jingling City was engulfed in an inexplicable fire, the number of different colored embroidery items suddenly increased. Although the quality is different, the needlework and patterns were extremely unique, causing many of the customers that came to the Jingling City to feel amazed.
Many merchants noticed that something was different, and actually declared that they would buy an embroidery item. No matter if it was silk handkerchief s, clothing items, or accessories, as long as the embroidery item was sufficient, they would all be given a reasonable price. For a moment, the faces of countless people broke out into smiles, grateful to the Ni Yun Fang Workshop.
However, Mu Yunyao kept an even lower profile, and would not take a single step out of the Ni Yun Fang Workshop unless it was absolutely necessary.
After about eight or nine days, Lady Jin was close to inviting her to the Cao Mansion: "I heard that you haven't left your house for a long time, are you preparing the Neon Cloud Beauty Book?"
"Madam, you've hit the nail on the head. This time, the booklet is not easy to prepare. Many of the madams have secretly delivered their comments to me. I've chosen who will not be chosen, so I'm afraid that I might offend someone." Mu Yunyao was always straightforward in front of Lady Jin, and did not try to hide anything now.
"I don't care about anyone else, there must be a page of mine on the booklet." Lady Jin said as she gently caressed her stomach. Her wish for so many years had finally come true.
"Then it seems that I must release the book as soon as possible. Otherwise, after two more months, I won't be able to wear my clothes anymore."
Lady Jin was laughing happily, what she cared about the most now was the child in her womb, she did not even care about teaching the embroidery needling technique anymore, making many people think that she was not greedy for power, and that her unintentional actions had an unexpected effect: "Don't tease me, I have something good to tell you today."
Mu Yunyao aptly asked with a hint of doubt: "What is it?"
"You've always been smart. Guess what, you guessed right. I'll give you two plates of the latest snacks from the kitchen."
"Madam is becoming more and more petty, to actually only give away two plates of snacks." Mu Yunyao's tone carried a hint of anger, but her smile was especially brilliant and pure, causing people who saw it to be unable to resist the corner of their mouths to curl up, "Could it be, that there is some sort of reward for falling from the sky?"
Lady Jin couldn't help but laugh out loud while covering her lips: "Isn't it just that a reward fell from the sky?!" After saying that, she pointed upwards, purposely emphasizing the word 'heaven'.
Mu Yunyao was stunned for a moment, then abruptly stood up, and almost knocked over the teacup beside her hand. "Madam, could it be that the Emperor gave you a reward?"
"I originally thought that you were a calm person, but I never expected you to be so excited." Lady Jin looked at her with a smile and couldn't help but think to herself, in the end, she's still young. After hearing the Emperor's reward, she was so happy that he couldn't control herself, "The reward should arrive in two days."
The smile on Mu Yunyao's face did not stop, and was even full of excitement: "Then what do I need to prepare? "Isn't the Emperor's reward supposed to be given up?" After saying that, her expression suddenly became awkward.
Lady Jin could not help but be curious: "What's wrong, did you think of something?"
Mu Yunyao sat down and spoke in a low voice, "Madam, I have something I don't understand. If the Emperor gives me a silver tael, would I have to spend it or give it back as payment?"
Seeing that she had such a good appearance that even a silver tael couldn't spend, Lady Jin laughed even more happily. "Haha, you, you're so smart, yet no one can compare to you, even though you're stupid, you're just a bag of idiocy. "Naturally, money can be spent. Even if you bestow something else, you don't need to put them all together. Just pick one or two items and give them to me. It'll be enough to show your appreciation."
Mu Yunyao couldn't help but blush, she didn't really understand any of this. She only knew that every time Su Family came to the Emperor's reward, she would pay tribute to the ancestral hall with great fanfare.
Lady Jin was extremely happy, she refused to let Mu Yunyao go back until it was time to eat, and let her eat at Cao Mansion, then chatted for nearly two hours before Silver Red took her back to Ni Yun Fang Workshop.
Just as Mu Yunyao got off the carriage, she saw Si Qin walking over in a hurry: "Miss, the lady isn't feeling well, please go upstairs to take a look."
Hearing that, Mu Yunyao's face suddenly became pale, and before she had time to ask Si Qin what the situation was, she grabbed her skirt and ran upstairs.
Si Qin was shocked by her reaction, but when he regained his senses, he immediately gave chase.
Mu Yunyao's heart was like a drum beating. When she ran to the third floor, her back was already covered in a layer of cold sweat. She bit her lip and pushed open the door. "Mother, why did you …"
Su Qing was frowning as he sat on the side of the bed. Looking at Mu Yunyao's appearance, he was shocked: "What's wrong? Why is your face so ugly? "
As he said that, he stood up, and Si Qi immediately extended his hand to support her: "Madam, you've sprained your ankle, please be careful."
Seeing that Su Qing's complexion was only slightly pale, Mu Yunyao couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. His heart, which had leaped into his throat, gradually returned to its original state, and hurriedly entered the room to help her sit down: "Mother, I heard Si Qin say that you were unwell, and I was startled."
Su Qing heartache used a handkerchief to help her wipe her sweat: "It's just that when I was returning, I was startled by the carriage, and accidentally knocked on it.
Si Qin hurriedly entered the door to apologize: "It's all because this servant didn't explain clearly, causing Miss to worry, please punish me."
Mu Yunyao knew that she couldn't be blamed for this matter. It was because she cared too much about his mother that she misunderstood her for a moment, "It's none of your business, it's just that I didn't ask clearly. However, why would a fine one scare a horse? "
