~ I DON’T LIKE TO REPAY GRIEVANCES WITH VIRTUE ~

Seeing the Old Madam’s expression shaken, the Eldest Madam was overjoyed. She continued, “Mother, I heard from Mu Yunyao just now that there were a few apprentices in Ni Yun Fang, and their embroidery needle technique were not inferior to her. In fact, as long as there is someone who have embroidery needle technique, it doesn’t matter who teaches it to outsiders, don’t you think?”

The Old Madam slammed her hand on the table, seemingly infuriated. “I’ve just warned you to hold back your thoughts. Do you take my words as nothing more than a pa.s.sing thought?”

“Daughter-in-law wouldn’t dare. It’s just that you have seen Mu Yunyao’s usual style. How could she be that kind of person who can easily suffer losses? Meng Yanran was given to death, Meng Handong was killed, and even now, Yuyi’s arm was still in so much pain that she didn’t dare to move. In addition, my reputation was completely ruined, and people outside said that I was the Viper Lady ... These things are connected, and all make people’s hearts go cold. Mother, Daughter-in-law is worried that by partic.i.p.ating in the spreading of the embroidery needle technique, we are trying to hide from the tiger, but in the end, others used it. We not only didn’t get credit, but we also made wedding clothes for others....”

“Shut up! Don’t talk nonsense.” The Old Madam stopped the Eldest Madam, but her frowning eyebrows remained undisturbed. During this time, she could tell that Mu Yunyao definitely did not want to lose out. Perhaps, she would really make the Su family feel very bitter, “You can leave first, go back and take care of Yuyi and let her heal the injury. I’ll think about the rest.” She needs to think about it.

“Yes.” A ray of light flashed across the Eldest Madam’s eyes. The Old Madam must have been tempted. She could just wait in peace.

Mu Yunyao returned to Jiyue Pavilion and chatted with Su Qing for a while before returning to her room, carefully considering what to do next.

Jin Lan, Si Shu, and the others didn’t dare disturb her. After a while, they finally saw Mu Yunyao get up and write a letter behind the table. After writing the letter, she called Si Shu in. “Try to find a way to hand this letter over to Yue w.a.n.g. Don’t let anyone notice.”

Si Shu nodded hurriedly, “Please rest a.s.sured, Miss.”

Seeing Mu Yunyao’s relaxed expression, Jin Lan finally came forward to help her change her dress. “Miss, do you really want the Eldest Madam to teach the embroidery needle technique?”

“Do you think I’m the kind of person who repays grievances with virtue?”

“Miss, since you’ve clearly distinguished between grat.i.tude and grievance, you naturally won’t repay grievances with virtue. It’s just that this servant is genuinely happy listen to your promise.”

Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but laugh. “The more happily I agree, the more uneasy their hearts would become. They would think that they would be smart and find a way to deal with me.”

Jin Lan didn’t understand. “Miss, wouldn’t we be creating new problems like this?”

“The spread of embroidery needle technique in the Capital is something I have thought about for a long time. Now everything is ready, even the East Courtyard is there, it doesn’t matter if there is a small mistake in the middle. The important thing is that I have stayed in Su family’s residence enough and want to find a way to move out as soon as possible.”

“Miss, are you planning to use this matter to leave the Su family’s residence?”

Mu Yunyao smiled and did not speak anymore. She wanted to not simply leave, but she wants to completely break all ties with the Su family.

Yue w.a.n.g received a letter from Mu Yunyao. After reading it, a cold glint flashed across his eyes: “The Su Family ….”

Eunuch Cheng looked at his expression and unintentionally said, “Speaking of which, the Su family has been surprisingly lively recently, especially the main branch of the Su family in East Courtyard. The Eldest Madam has already been rumored to be Viper Lady. I don’t know whether Miss Mu is used to living in the Su family.”

Yue w.a.n.g carefully placed the letter into the box and locked it before speaking: “Uncle Cheng, have you heard any news about the people who has been sent out to investigate the true ident.i.ties of Madam Su and Yunyao?”

“Reporting to Your Highness, many years have pa.s.sed, and many things cannot be investigated. However, there are some news that have come back, and this old servant think that it look rather strange.”

“Hmm?” Yue w.a.n.g raised his eyes.

“Initially, we investigated and found out that it was a midwife who helped the old lady of the Su family deliver a baby. After Madam Su was lost, a whole family mysteriously perished, and none of them managed to survive. However, we recently found out that the midwife left behind a son, and that person even had contact with Miss Mu’s father, Mu Cheng.”

“Is there anything else?”

“I haven’t found anything else yet.”

Yue w.a.n.g nodded his head: “No rush, take it slow. How about the midwife’s son? Could you found him?”

Eunuch Cheng shook his head, “Ever since Miss Su’s father’s death, this person has been missing. But this old servant has already ordered for people to search for him as soon as possible. I hope they can find him as soon as possible.”

“Mm, I keep having the feeling that the Su family is hiding something....”

Seeing the Su family’s att.i.tude towards Mu Yunyao and Su Qing, he felt a strong sense of disharmony. He suspected that the Su family had taken a fancy to Mu Yunyao’s property and took people back to murder for money. Or rather, Su Qing had nothing to do with the Su family! Unfortunately, they haven’t found the exact information yet, so they can’t jump to conclusions.

Mu Yunyao chose the place where she would teach the embroidery needle technique. Shuntian’s Manor Commander Shen Binghuai personally visited her, saying that he would send people to help maintain order. In addition, he would also be in charge of counting the number of women who learned the embroidery needle technique.

Mu Yunyao was extremely happy as she repeatedly thanked Shen Binghuai. With his help, the spread of the embroidery needle technique would definitely be successful this time.

In Jingling City, Ding Yuelan had already arranged for a fast boat to send the selected embroidery ladies to the Capital. The local authorities who heard the news all the way even spontaneously sent people to protect the ship’s safety.

Many merchants rushed over after heard that Mu Yunyao would spread the embroidery needle technique throughout the Capital.

Some wanted to watch the business opportunity, and some wanted to discuss the embroidery business with Ni Yun Fang, while others wanted to recruit a group of embroidery ladies. After all, the embroidery skills of the Ni Yun Fang were obvious to all, and some are the necessary items for selling embroidery. In a short time, the whole Capital is bustling.

Soon, the news reached the Imperial Palace. The Emperor opened the teacup in his hand and took a sip after opening the lid for a while: “Imperial Elder Sister, I had no idea that such a small Ni Yun Fang could have such a huge effect.” He didn’t know if this effect is good or bad.

The Grand Princess Yi De put down the embroidery rack in her hand and looked at the peony that had just been formed. She couldn’t help but rub her forehead, “When I was young, I hated embroidery the most, but Imperial Father always had forced me to practice. Even now, I still feel a headache whenever I think about it.”

The Emperor couldn’t help but laugh, “That’s right. I still remember that Imperial Elder Sister often complains about this matter to Imperial Father.”

“In the blink of an eye, this has already happened decades ago. The embroidery craftsmanship of Ni Yun Fang are unique in the world. For the past few days, we’ve had a rare moment of leisure. How about we change our clothes, go outside for a walk and see it for ourselves?”

The Emperor was stunned, then nodded happily. “How about we take some guards and go out quietly for a day without informing anyone else?”

“That’s what I was thinking. Do you have any ordinary clothes to change into?”

“If I tell Xu Li to look for it, he’ll definitely be able to find it.”

“Alright, let’s prepare separately and gather at the entrance of the Imperial Palace.”

“Alright, I’ll go right now.” The Emperor was in high spirits and quickly got Xu Li to find clothes to change into.
