Chapter 210
Yue w.a.n.g’s Jealousy
Mu Yunyao arrived at the study and saw that Ming Yin was kneeling on the ground . Her clothes hadn’t changed, her face was slightly pale, and she looked very miserable . She raised her head to look at the Yue w.a.n.g . “What is this for?”
Yue w.a.n.g raised his head: “Ming Yin is not able to do things well, and she deserves to get punished . ”
“You can’t blame Ming Yin for this . If it weren’t for Li Munian’s sudden disturbance, today’s matter would have gone smoothly . Ming Yin, please get up . ”
Ming Yin turned her head and kowtowed to Mu Yunyao . Ming Yin turned her head and kowtowed to Mu Yunyao . “Young Miss, missing this opportunity not only disrupted your plans, but it also makes it difficult to know when I can resolve my old grudge from all these years . This servant’s heart really cannot bear it, so you should punish me . ”
“There’s still a way to salvage the situation, so you don’t have to be too hasty …” Yu Yi rushed over before she could finish speaking .
“Fourth Master, the Governor of Liangjiang, Li Yuanyi, has returned . He has asked to see Miss Mu and Steward Qin entertaining him right now . ”
The atmosphere in the study room suddenly turned cold, and Yu Yi could not help but drop his head even lower . He could only feel the sound of murderous intent in his ears . Li Yuanyi really didn’t want to live to the end and even dared to scheme against someone whom w.a.n.g Ye admired .
Mu Yunyao stood up . “Things aren’t too bad yet . I’ll see him now . If there’s a chance, I’ll take the seal of the Governor of Liangjiang . If it doesn’t work out, I’ll make another plan . ”
“Wait a minute . ” Yue w.a.n.g called out to stop Mu Yunyao, and a trace of a frown appeared on his forehead . “You don’t need to see him . Let Ming Yin try again . If it’s still not possible, then I’ll make a move . ”
Feeling the murderous intent from the last four words of Yue w.a.n.g, Mu Yunyao quickly shook her head, “Li Yuanyi will still be of use in the future, so I can’t arouse his suspicions now . It’s most appropriate for me to go . ”
“No way!” Yue w.a.n.g frowned more tightly . He had investigated Li Yuanyi’s temperament very clearly . At this time, Li Yuanyi had rushed over to see Mu Yunyao, and his thoughts were clear as day . How could he let her take the risk?
Yu Yi gave Ming Yin a meaningful glance, and the two of them silently retreated, leaving only Yue w.a.n.g and Mu Yunyao standing facing each other in the room .
“Fourth Master, why are you not trusting me?”
“I don’t trust Li Yuanyi . ” The cold aura around him caused the atmosphere in the study to become even tenser .
Mu Yunyao was stunned for a moment, then lowered her eyes . Only then did she realize why Yue w.a.n.g was so adamant about not agreeing . He was actually jealous…,
“Fourth Master, I’m just going to retrieve the seal . There won’t be any other matters . Also, I’m well versed in medical knowledge, so I still have a way to protect myself . ”
“That wouldn’t mean put you out of danger, either . ”
Mu Yunyao frowned . She had already explained in warm words, but Yue w.a.n.g still refused to let go, causing a bit of anger to rise in her heart, “Is it possible for Fourth Master to build a golden silk cage to lock people up?”
The corner of Yue w.a.n.g’s lips moved . Looking at Mu Yunyao’s resolute expression, a trace of helplessness flashed across his heart . “You …”
“There is no loss in this matter, and the time is urgent . Although according to our guesses, the salt merchants will not make a big fuss about the robbery of salt . What if they do not follow our plans and directly make a big deal out of it? When the time comes, the Emperor will investigate . With Fourth Master’s current abilities to do so! Can you cross the sea without telling the world?”
Yue w.a.n.g pursed his lips, the coldness in his eyes growing more powerful, like a cold winter night: “I’ll go with you, I’ll stay in the shadows to ensure your safety . ”
Mu Yunyao fell silent for a moment . “Sure . ”
Yue w.a.n.g stepped forward, took out a dagger from his sleeve, and handed it over: “Self-defense!”
Mu Yunyao carefully examined the dagger in her hand . It was precisely the same as the one that Yue w.a.n.g had given her, except that the gemstone inlaid in the handle was slightly different . “This dagger …”
Yue w.a.n.g directly walked out of the room and ignoring Mu Yunyao’s question .
Steward Qin led Li Yuanyi to the Hibiscus Courtyard and explained patiently, “Please wait a moment, Lord Li . Miss Mu rarely makes any tea personally . Whether or not she is willing to come and see the Lord, I still require a special inquiry . ”
“Then let’s hurry . I do have something that I need to discuss with Miss Mu . As long as you say it, she will definitely come and see me . ”
“Yes, please take a seat, my Lord . ”
After waiting for about half an hour, Mu Yunyao slowly walked in . “Greetings, Sir Li . I heard from Shopkeeper Qin that you have something to discuss with me . Is it about the Dragon Boat Festival that I’ve mentioned before?”
Li Yuanyi’s eyes lit up as he saw Mu Yunyao . Mu Yunyao had changed her clothes again . At this time, her clothes were moon-white, making her look even more beautiful and refined, like a fairy descending to earth . Li Yuanyi calmed himself down with a lot of difficulties . “It can be considered to be related to this matter . After listening to the girl’s saying that she would like to thank the people in Jingling City at the Dragon Boat Festival, I was really touched and wanted to help you . Miss Mu also knows that I am now the Governor of Liangjiang, and I can say a word or two in many places . If Miss Mu wants to expand the scale Ni Yun Fang in another place, I can do my best to help . ”
Mu Yunyao had a happy expression, “Is what Lord Li said true?”
“Of course, How can I lie to you?”
“That would be great . ” Mu Yunyao was overjoyed . Her eyes were bright like the stars, seeming to be able to attract people’s attention . “Thank you, Lord Li . I really don’t know how to repay such huge kindness . ”
Li Yuanyi walked to Mu Yunyao’s side and sized up her face with a trace of infatuation in his eyes . “I’ve always felt that Miss Mu was very popular when I first saw her . Seeing how kind and kind she is, I decided to help out not for any reward . ”
Mu Yunyao didn’t seem to notice the abnormality in his actions as she said a few words of thanks as usual, “Lord Li is so considerate of me . Yunyao is unable to repay this kindness, so she wholeheartedly brewed a cup of good tea for you . Consider it my gift of grat.i.tude . ”
“Alright . ” Li Yuanyi’s current thoughts were not on the tea, so naturally, anything she said would be fine .
Mu Yunyao sits at the back of the table to make tea . Li Yuan looks at her action intently and feels astonished . How could there be anyone in this world that fits his mind like this? As if heaven specially sent her for him . He unconsciously stood on the side of the table .
Mu Yunyao finished making the tea and stood up with the teacup in her hand . Just as she turned around, she b.u.mped into Li Yuanyi . The teacup in her hand almost spilled over, and she was so surprised that she quickly reached out and steadied herself: “Ah … Lord Li, please forgive me! “
Li Yuanyi smelled the fragrant aroma of the tea, and his expression turned absent-minded . Mu Yunyao apologized but quickly exchanged the scented sachet with the seal on his waist, and she placed it in her sleeve with a turn of her wrist .
In the past few days, even Li Yuan had prepared many scented pouches containing seals . Whether it was size, shape, pattern, or weight, they were all exactly the same as the ones on his body, all so that he wouldn’t notice them after replacing the scented pouches .
Mu Yunyao’s movements were fast, and Li Yuanyi did not feel the slightest bit strange . Hearing her apologizing, he hurriedly said, “I was rude . Just now, I saw that the girl was too engrossed in making the tea, and I unknowingly stood beside the table . ”
“It’s good . The tea is not hot enough for the Lord . Would you like to have a taste of it?”
