Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Ch 63

Chapter 63   Missing

    After giving the orders, Mu Yunyao went to the second floor to see her ready-made clothes. Today, afraid the waiting ladies would have no patience to see the new clothes from the shop.

    While she was thinking, Jin Lan pushed open the second-floor's door, and was left stunned: "Xiaojie..."

    Hearing Jinlan's exclamation of surprise, Mu Yunyao creased her eyebrows and walked around the room. She saw a lot of footprints on the cashmere carpet on the second floor. The pattern and size of the soles were obviously men's. There should be two people.

    Jin Lan quickly followed her into the room, and she said: "Xiaojie, should we go to the magistrate?"

    Mu Yunyao went to see where she placed her clothes. The clothes were unscathed and there were no traces of tampering. She just thought that it was spies sent by Caiyue Pavilion’s shopkeeper to steal the clothes, but it seems that it was not the case.

    Mu Yunyao carefully looked around and found the edge of the window littered with footprints, it seems that the two people jumped up the windows to enter the room: "You take a look around upstairs and downstairs, see if there are some clues."

    "Yes, Xiaojie."

    Soon Jin Lan went back and forth: "Xiaojie, there is nothing else, just that the poem you wrote on the day of the Qixi Festival, that was hanging on the wall is missing." Just because of the matters with Jin Qiu and Jin Ju, everyone was extremely nervous in their heart, and didn’t find anything missing except that one poem hung on the wall.

    Only missing one poem?

    Mu Yunyao pondered, not stealing money, not stealing clothes, only stealing a poem, which was a bit strange.

   While thinking about it, there were guests coming downstairs, Mu Yunyao had to put aside this matter for a while: "The guests are coming, I will definitely come up to change clothes afterwards. Clean the place and don't throw the dirty carpets. It might be useful later."

    "Yes, Xiaojie."

    There were two pieces of clothes to be released today. They were for the two ladies who were specially invited before the Qixi Festival but did not expect them to come so early.

    Today, the set of clothes to be released were temperamentally opposite clothes; Yu Hou Zang Hua set and Zongma Guandeng set.

(Yu Hou Zang Hua雨后葬花lit. means the burial of the flowers after the rain. Zongma Guandeng 纵马观灯 lit. means the horse’s view of the lamp? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  who can read Mandarin please halpu. I struggled a lot to make this makes sense like what do you expect from "after the rain, buried the flowers and the horse' lamp view are two opposites temperament"???? O_o)

    One is soft and poetic, while another is valiant and graceful. (xXHOLICXx said this explains the previous sentence well. Gg, Angel XD)

    The two ladies were also very special. They were a pair of sisters. They were married to two officials, one scholarly and one civil official, and they were very favoured in their respective houses. Even if they were sisters, they wear men’s clothes on the streets all day. The husbands never uttered half a whisper about it. The doorway of Neiyunfang has long been surrounded by a crowd of people, in order to appreciate the graceful beauties in advance. There were even many good people who waited on the roofs of the surrounding mansions early in the morning to see who was out of the house and went in the direction of Niyunfang. They pretended to go to the restaurants and teahouses to show off, not to mention, there were a few who have been rewarded for this.

    One heard that today Neiyunfang is welcoming a famous pair of sisters in the Jingling City. The Jingling Tongzhi Lady Ding Yuexin and Xuanfu's wife Ding Yuelan suddenly provoked many people to come to the door to watch the drama. Jingling Tongzhi’s wife Ding Yuexin is the older sister, the temper is the weakest and kind, and she is famous for her good speech. But the Xuanfu’s wife, Ding Yuelan, does not say that she is a man, and she prefers to show herself in a man’s clothing. Neiyunfang had no way to let her put on a skirt, fearing that she would make a big joke.

Tongzhi – consortium, an association typically of several companies. It was just used to address almost everyone, meaning “comrade” in the Communist sense. I googled it and it says in recent years it’s also a term to refer an LGBTQIA person or gay in western terms. Nice right~ but idk what it means here lol don’t ask me =_=”

    Caiyue Pavilion’s shopkeeper hid in the crowd, waiting to watch Ding Yuexin and Ding Yuelan getting off the carriage to head inside, his lips showed a hint of sneer:. "This little girl does not know how high the sky is, let you learn a lesson today."

    That's Ding Yuelan’s temperament is not very good, just because someone else collided into her, she whipped that man in the middle of a busy street. If Mu Yunyao provoked her, guaranteed she would have to eat a loss.

    Mu Yunyao went down the stairs when Ding Yuexin was pulling Ding Yuelan’s hand, while saying: "Sister today please be more patient, the small shopkeeper of Niyunfang is only thirteen years old, you do not want to scare people."

    Ding Yuelan was full of impatience, holding a horse whip in her hand, gently tapping on the table, the body exuding unruly temperament. After a few female apprentices prepared the tea, they retreated far away, fearing that she would not be happy, and the whip would be drawn.

    Mu Yunyao suppressed the different emotions in her eyes, smiled and went forward to salute: "Greetings to the two ladies."

    Jingling Tongzhi’s wife Ding Yuexin got up and helped Mu Yunyao up: “The girl doesn’t have to be too polite.”

    At the Qixi Festival banquet, Lady Jin’s attitude towards Mu Yunyao was obvious to all. Although she was a little girl, but it’s good to have a positive relationship with her.

    Ding Yuelan did not say anything, her eyes swept away from Mu Yunyao. She had just looked at her briefly, but unexpectedly, Mu Yunyao suddenly looked up and caught her line of sight.

    Mu Yunyao's line of sight was light and shallow, just like a stream in the foot of the mountains, with crystal clear bottom, full of quietness, without the slightest impurity.

    This kind of gaze suddenly calmed Ding Yuelan's irritable mood. When she wanted to look more, she found that Mu Yunyao had retracted her gaze, while smiling and presenting her clothes to Ding Yuexin.

    For Yu Hou Zang Hua set, this set of clothes were covered with crescent white, layered skirts and sleeves, scattered with pink petals, from shallow to deep, to the end of the skirt, has become a deep red ombre dress. At a glance, in addition to the amazing color and style, there is not much other color presents.

    However, after Ding Yuelan's change of heart, the offset of this simple looking dress, wearing a unique charm, is in response to the sentence: If you are quiet you are like delicate flowers on shining water, the action is like a wind helping a weak willow. (I deem its effect looks weak, maybe?)

    Ding Yuelan carefully observed Mu Yunyao. She was gentle and courteous in her movements. She always had a light smile on her face, which made her cute and charming and arouses pity from people.

    "Madam, your dress is ready, please follow me upstairs."

    "Mu girl, maybe you don't know, I don't love red makeup, not used to wear the girls’ silk satin, you drew Zongma Guanden set to fit my image, I like it very much, but the dress cannot be worn by me."

    "Since the lady can like the embroidered pattern, this dress is certainly not bad, the lady’s look is good, I don't know if you will think that red dress is more suitable for you?"

    Ding Yuelan's eyebrows moved and a part of her hearts were unhappy. After looking up at Mu Yunyao's smiling eyes, she felt that if her heart was angry, she would be unreasonable. "Let's take a look, I’ll only take a look, if I don’t like it, I will never wear it out."

    "Please come with me, Lady." After Mu Yunyao finished, she lead Ding Yuelan to head upstairs. At the front, Ding Yuexin held the heart-coloured dress in one hand and Ding Yuelan’s hand in another: “Sister shouldn’t always get angry, Mu girl is young, you shouldn’t scare her.” Ding Yuexin said, turning her head and smiling at Mu Yunyao. "Mu girl, my sister has this kind of temperament, not against anyone, ask you not to mind."

    Mu Yunyao eyes gently moved, facing Ding Yuexin heartfelt salute and said: "I opened the door to do business and amass wealth. Furthermore, the lady temperament is straightforward, Yunyao likes this straightforward temper. Madame, please head upstairs with me. Jinlan and Jinqiao will take good care of Lady Jingling Tongzhi’s wife.” Ding Yuelan has never made a sound, and the look on the face was clear and cold, looking at the pair of people who refused to stay thousands of miles away.
