Chapter 140

Repaying Resentment with Virtue?

“Although Ni Yun Fang is well-known in Jingling City, it has also attracted the envy of quite a few people . When I spread the information about the embroidery needle technique, I hoped that the golden signboard over my head would be more stable . Therefore, I will help Lord Tan nurture and teach female embroiderers everything I know . When the embroidery needle technique spread downwards, the public must have informed of the origin of the needle technique . ”

Tan Lin furrowed her brows . “I can publicize the contributions of Miss Mu, but how can I ensure that Miss Mu had already imparted everything she knows?”

“In the future, you can always pay attention to Ni Yun Fang . If you see me using a new embroidery needle technique, you can bring someone to our door or send me directly to the Government Office . ”

“Then let’s add another point . Miss Mu can only look for Cai Yue Pavilion to cooperate with . ”

“Alright . The other embroider shops are not as strong as Cai Yue Pavilion . Why should I stay close to them?”

Seeing Mu Yunyao agree, a hint of happiness appeared on Tan Lin’s face .

Mu Yunyao continued, “Cai Qing and her younger brothers and sister have already signed an indenture contract . From now on, they are my family’s servants . I hope that Young Master Tan won’t cause trouble for them in the future . ”

Although she did not agree to help, the powers of the Cai Yue Pavilion also could not be underestimated . After some investigation, Tan Baw.a.n.g would only release after being confined to two months . Even if the punishment was heavy, Tan Lin still have enough money to help him pay up for his crimes .

“Alright . ” Tan Lin happily agreed . He hadn’t even put the servants in his eyes yet .

The smile on Mu Yunyao’s face deepened . “Since that’s the case, then I’ll ask Lord Tan to draw up the contract . This way, you can relax a little when you think about it . ”

Tan Lin thought for a moment, this would benefit him and would not harm him, in case Mu Yunyao had any loopholes in the contract that he could not discover . The little girl in front of him was young, but her thoughts were too deep . Otherwise, how could she survive in Jingling City in such a short amount of time?

He was afraid that he would end up getting into trouble . Also, Tan Lin had already carefully considered this before . After asking for brush and paper, he began writing the written agreement on the spot .

Tan Lin spent nearly two hours to finish writing it and handing it over to Mu Yunyao .

Mu Yunyao took it and read it carefully before nodding . “I will call Lord Tan as Shopkeeper Tan . You wrote the contract meticulously and thoughtfully . Since this is the case, we will do it in duplicate . After we sign the written agreement, you can send female embroiderers to Jingling City . ”

“So fantastic . If other embroidery shops found out that I sent my female embroiderers here in such a grand manner, would they try to stir up trouble?” Even though he had the contract, he couldn’t bear for others to interfere . He had given such a generous gift and put his own son aside for the time being . He only wanted this piece of fat to stand firm in his hand and not allowing any mishap to happen again .

“How about this? Recently, I will count the number of outsiders who come to Ni Yun Fang to learn the embroidery needle technique . Lord Tan can send a selection of female embroiderers from Cai Yue Pavilion, and I will treat them as ordinary outsiders come to teach, so it should not be noticeable . ”

“That’s all can do for now . How long will it take for Miss Mu to finish imparting embroidery needle technique?”

“That will depend on the quality of female embroiderers that Lord Tan sent over . If your female embroiderers are talented and intelligent, then half a month will be enough . ”

“Alright, I’ll go back now and make the arrangements . I won’t disturb Miss Mu any longer . ”

Mu Yunyao got up and personally saw Tan Lin out of the room . “Lord Tan, I will send you off . ”

“Miss Mu, please stayed . ”

After Tan Lin left in high spirits, Jin Lan entered the room to clean up the tea set . However, her eyes always looked at Mu Yunyao .

Seeing her hesitant expression, Mu Yunyao felt uncomfortable on her behalf . “Do you think that I should not hand over such a good matter to Tan Lin?”

“Yes, this servant has been following Miss for a long time, and I feel that with your personality, you have always distinguished between grat.i.tude and grievances . Tan Baw.a.n.g has maliciously framed you in his mind . Even if Cai Yue Pavilion’s strength is strong, you won’t retaliate in such a way!”

Mu Yunyao smiled, a glint of light flashing in her eyes . “Until the very end, it’s hard for anyone to determine whether the matter is good or bad . Only slowly look at it . ”

Three days later, Jin Qiao walked in and reported to Su Qing and Mu Yunyao . “Madam, Miss, County Magistrate Zhao had opened the court and concluded the case of Tan Baw.a.n.g stealing a commoner’s daughter . It was because Tan Baw.a.n.g’s servants had a bite to death, so they instigated Tan Baw.a.n.g from the side . Tan Baw.a.n.g even said that they injured Ah Mao, Nan’er, and the others . Also, He said that they were the ones who kidnapped Li’er, and they were the ones who framed Miss . They had nothing to do with Tan Baw.a.n.g, so they only fined him some silver and kept him locked up for three months . ”

Su Qing couldn’t help but frown, “Tan Baw.a.n.g almost beat Nan’er and Ah Mao to death . He actually let it go just like that?”

Mu Yunyao didn’t find it unexpected . “Mother, don’t be too angry . Those two servants took on the majority of the responsibility, and instead protect Tan Baw.a.n.g . Tan Lin is likely involved in this . However, there will always be retribution for good and evil, and punishment for it will never go away . ”

Su Qing nodded and instructed Jin Lan, Cai Qing, and the others . “Then we should be more careful when we do things from now on . In case Tan Baw.a.n.g comes out to cause trouble for us . ”

“Yes, Madam . ”

After lunch, Jin Lan ran over to report, “Miss, Lady Jin is here . ”

Mu Yunyao stood up hurriedly and arranged her dress, “Hurry up and invite Madam in . ”

Lady Jin dressed in a lotus dress and a red jade tortoisesh.e.l.l hairpin . She looked so beautiful and bright .

“Greetings, Madam . ”

“Get up quickly . I’ve been busy these past few days, so I didn’t come over every day . I didn’t expect that there would be so many things happening to you . ” As Lady Jin spoke, her tone carried a hint of anger . “Why didn’t you come to find me when something happened?”

Mu Yunyao hurriedly pulled her arm in and help Lady Jin sat down, then instructed Jin Lan to brew a cup of fruit tea . “It’s only a small matter, how could I dare trouble, Madam? The most important thing for you now is to take care of your body, which more important than my small matter . ”

Lady Jin couldn’t help but smile . “You always have a point . Yesterday, the Governor’s wife came over to visit me, and told me about Tan Baw.a.n.g’s matter . Let me come to you and let her know, she afraid that you had a grudge . ”

“Madam Zhang is overthinking things . County Magistrate Zhao’s orders handled impartially . How could I possibly harbor any ill intentions?”

“I also told her the same thing . It’s been a long time, where would she be able to live in one day and one night?” There was a profound meaning to Lady Jin’s words .

Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but smile, “It’s not like what Madam said . ”

Seeing that she understood what she meant, Lady Jin didn’t say anything more . Instead, she extended her wrist for Mu Yunyao to take a look at her pulse . “Come and help me take a look . I feel that these past two days have been very good . Thanks to the delicious food your mother helped to make . I am still greedy, so I want to come here . ”

Mu Yunyao was about to speak when Su Qing walked in . “Greetings, Lady Jin . ”
