Chapter 223
This Life Is The Source
Mu Yunyao thought about what her mother said and couldn’t help but compare with Yue w.a.n.g: In the previous life, she would die and had a strange relationship with him . Now that she knows it, should she choose to continue to get along with him?
“Yao’er?” When Su Qing finished speaking, she couldn’t help but remind Mu Yunyao when she saw her dazed look .
“Mother, I am fine . I am just envious of the relationship between you and Father . ”
“You’re still young now, so you don’t need to think about all those useless things . When you reach the age where you should marry, you can have a lot of time to think about it slowly . It’s enough to live happily every day now . ” Su Qing felt a stabbing pain in her heart . Even if it was her previous life, Yao’er had left the world at the age of a teenager and was still a child in the end .
Mu Yunyao came back to her senses . When she saw Su Qing’s expression, she could not help but secretly blame herself for actually thinking so much to make her mother worry like this . “Alright, I’ll listen to Mother . Now it’s time to live my life well . ”
Su Qing couldn’t help but rub Mu Yunyao’s head and pull her into her embrace, “Yao’er, I know that your experience is extraordinary and that your thoughts are exceptionally meticulous . Your mother is useless . Not only can’t help you share the burden but also often ask you to worry about me . ”
Mu Yunyao promptly sat up straight and anxiously tried to explain, “Mother …”
Su Qing held her hand, indicating that she should listen to her words until finished, “Yao’er, the current you are quite different from your previous life . Because Mother is still alive, and the Emperor bestowed you many rewards . With this business today, no matter how strong and domineering the Su family is, we still have the Capital to compete . Mother will work hard to adapt to the intrigues in the Capital, and what you need to do is to relax your mind and enjoy your current life . The past lives are for reference, but in this life, you are the source . Don’t let what has happened to affect your current decision!”
Mu Yunyao slightly widened her eyes . Her clear and watery eyes couldn’t help but tremble, and in an instant, a myriad of emotions seemed to surge through them . “Mother, I understand . ”
The mother and daughter chatted for a while longer . After dinner, Mu Yunyao pestered Su Qing to sleep with her .
Su Qing couldn’t help but raise her hand and point at Mu Yunyao’s forehead, “When did this little boss become such a pampered girl?”
Mu Yunyao’s expression was unique, her charming face revealing a pink l.u.s.ter like peach blossoms: “In front of Mother, Yao’er is just a pampered girl!”
“Aiyo, to think that she would actually act so righteously . Such a delicate face …”
“Mother!”
After a good night’s sleep, Mu Yunyao got up early with Su Qing the next day . After washing her face and rinsing her mouth, she looked at the rising sun and couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief at the morning sun . No matter what Yue w.a.n.g was thinking, she did not have the time and energy to accompany him . Time pa.s.sed day by day, the Su family was about to come knocking on her door to find her . She still had many things that she had not arranged properly . How could she have time to think about her feelings? Moreover, who knows whether Yue w.a.n.g will become the next Emperor? She had already walked the road of death once, and she didn’t want to repeat the same mistake!
After breakfast, Mu Yunyao and Su Qing arrived at Ni Yun Fang . Over this time, she had been busy with the matters of Yang Zhou City’s salt administration and hadn’t been here for several days . Now that she was free, she naturally had to pay more attention to it .
The 10 million taels of silver that she had extracted from the salt merchants was more than enough for Mu Yunyao and her mother to spend for the rest of their lives . However, none of them thought that it was too much silver . What’s more, Ni Yun Fang can also help her develop her contacts, so it’s absolutely not easy to give up .
After personally entertaining Ladies and helping them to change some clothes, the morning pa.s.sed .
Seeing that Mu Yunyao was spirited, Su Qing’s worried heart was finally at ease . “Yao’er, did you see Yi Bao Xuan on the opposite side? The jewelry inside is so beautiful . If we have nothing to do in the afternoon, why don’t we go out there and see it together?”
Only then did Mu Yunyao look at Yi Bao Xuan across the street . All Ladies and Young Ladies who had come to Ni Yun Fang would go to Yi Bao Xuan to take a look too . After all, no matter how much clothes and jewelry they have, they always feel that it is not enough .
“Alright, if Mother likes it, then we’ll go there to buy some . ” Mu Yunyao did not plan to tell Su Qing that Yi Bao Xuan was also her business . The fewer people who knew about this matter, the better . Keeping it secret is a perfect way out .
To prevent any investigation by anyone who had been interested in her, this was Mu Yunyao’s first time coming to Yi Bao Xuan . The decorations here were very exquisite and beautiful, even a step higher than Ni Yun Fang . As soon as she entered, a maid came to greet her: “Greetings, Madam Su, Miss Mu . ”
“Miss, there’s no need to be so polite . We’re just here to take a look . Do you have any favorite jewelry?” Su Qing replied with a smile .
“Madam, you’ve finally arrived . A new batch of jewelry has come out today . It’s an extremely fresh and beautiful design that matches Madam’s elegant and luxurious aura . ” The maid spoke in a sweet tone .
Su Qing felt a little embarra.s.sed by the praise . She took Mu Yunyao to the side and looked at the jewelry cabinet, “The jewelry here is indeed quite beautiful . ” As she spoke, she took a crystal hairpin and lightly inserted it into Mu Yunyao’s hair .
Mu Yunyao’s smile was sweet . After Su Qing finished inserting the pearl hairpin, she gently turned around and asked, “What does Mother think?”
“It looks good . Yao’er looks really good on it . ”
“Then we’ll buy it . ”
Not long after, the shopkeeper of Yi Bao Xuan came out . “Greetings, Madam Su, Miss Mu . I am Wei Jun, the shopkeeper of Yi Bao Xuan, and we will be neighbors in the future . I hope that Madam Su and Miss Mu will take care of me . ”
With that, he bowed to the two of them once again . If anyone were to observe his gesture carefully, they would notice that the shopkeeper in front of them was exceptionally respectful and totally different from the way he greeted others in the past .
Mu Yunyao nodded slightly at Wei Jun . She didn’t reveal the slightest bit of oddity, and then she concentrated back on picking up jewelry with Su Qing .
There were many boxes on the counter . When Mu Yunyao settled the bill, Su Qing realized that she had picked a lot of them unconsciously . “Yao’er, did Mother buy too many?”
“Mother, you only picked out two simple hairpins . You bought the rest for me . How can there be so many?”
Su Qing thought about it carefully and realized that it was true . She couldn’t help laughing and said, “Mother saw that those pieces of jewelry were extremely compatible with you, and I unknowingly picked a lot . ”
“Forget it, Mother . I’ll merely buy it and slowly wear it . ”
She initially thought that so much jewelry would cost a lot of silver taels, but when she paid the bill, Yi Bao Xuan’s shopkeeper only collected two hundred taels and even sent them out of the store in a courteous manner .
Su Qing felt that something wasn’t right, “Yao’er, do you think the beads and gems inlaid on these pieces of jewelry are all fake?”
“Why would Mother think that?”
“We bought so much, but the total we put out was only two hundred taels of silver . No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem normal . The price of clothes in the neon market was at least a thousand taels . ”
Mu Yunyao couldn’t hold in her laughter . “I think those jewelry are excellent . It seems like because Yi Bao Xuan has just opened and is currently trying to recruit new customers at a low price . In the future, they won’t be this cheap . ”
“Good . ” Hearing Mu Yunyao’s words, Su Qing immediately calmed down .
