Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Ch 72

Chapter 72 Closed in the first month

    Lady Jin sighed: "No, it just feels as if she’s too good."

    "This slave is dumb, is this person not good?"

    "Nothing of the sort. I just sighed because I don’t know what kind of family can cultivate such an exquisite person." When Mu Yunyao had sent the two maids back, she was glad and felt that the timing was just right, then when she carefully thought, she always felt that there were other hidden meanings in Mu Yunyao's action.

    Mu Yunyao already held the two people's sale deeds and afterwards had found them betraying their own master. Even if she was hindered by her reputation, she could still dispose of them in advance and just informed her later, there was no need to send them back.

    But Mu Yunyao sent them back, so she could not help but guessed that Mu Yunyao knew of her wanting to deal with the servants, so gave her a ready-made excuse to secretly sell her a good favour. After today’s probing, it indeed seemed this way.

    Yin Hong was somewhat puzzled: "Before this slave also let people secretly investigate. She came from an ordinary, her father died early, and left both the mother and daughter dependent on each other. It doesn’t look like she’s related to any big family."

     "Just how many things that those people you sent could investigate, they could only have scratched the surface. Fortunately, I have a good relationship with Yunyao, which is beneficial to us. Besides, I am really grateful that she has helped me a lot. As long as her heart does not change, this good relationship, his good relationship will be maintained forever. Go order some people to watch over Niyunfang. If there’s some trouble, let me know in advance." 

    “Yes, Ma’am."

    Back at Niyunfang, Jin Lan was waiting anxiously at the doorway when she saw Mu Yunyao stepping down from the carriage, only then she felt relieved: "Miss, how are you so late today? If you didn’t come again today, this slave was going to look for you on the way."

    "I forgot to send someone to tell you that this morning, Lady Jin invited me to Cao Manor to see how she handled Jin Qiu and Jin Ju."

    The apprentices in the hall suddenly perked up their ears and gave Jin Lan a meaningful look.

    Jin Lan cautiously asked: "Miss, in the end, what happened to the two people who betrayed young miss?"

     "Lady Jin was thoughtful and afraid that I would get scared, so she did not dispose of them in front of me.  But she sounded very sad, saying that they could not hold any more needles and threads in the future. That is, it’s either that she had broken their tendons or broken their fingers?" She preferred to hold herself from taking action (from killing with her own hands). After all, the Wang woman who handled the two girls had her sleeves stained with blood.

     When Mu Yunyao finished and looked at the frightened servants, she could not help but remind them: “If you want to make money, you should strive to earn it. I have all the opportunities to give you. Now you are only the apprentices of Niyunfang, and later you will become the sole shopkeeper, which is also rare and common. You guys are the first batch to follow me, I’ll naturally take care of all of you. Why take the risk to do something against the owner?”

     If it was possible, she hoped to cultivate this group of people into talents so that they could run the Niyunfang by themselves. She wanted more than just a faithful servant. She wanted those that could also be entrusted with the task of confidants, therefore, repeatedly improve their landscapes and horizons (TN: broaden their views) in the hope that they could grow up earlier and take charge as a leader at the front.

    "Yes, this slave and others will definitely follow the lady sincerely." Mu Yunyao nodded and saw that the bitter lessons were almost over, and it was time to give them some sweetness: "I will let Jin Lan fetch some silver later and distribute twelve taels per person. In the following month, we have to rush to work as soon as possible. The silver is my reward, so don't save it, buy some food and use it well. "

    Several apprentices suddenly beamed happily and quickly saluted to Mu Yunyao: "Yes, thank you, Miss."

    Mu Yunyao returned to the third floor, took the silver and handed it to Jin Lan the let her go downstairs. Just as she wanted to go downstairs, Mu Yunyao saw that Liu Liang had come up: "Is there something wrong?"

    "Master, is the new group of people borrowed?" Liu Liang’s voice was slightly low, but compared to yesterday's stiffness, today his voice was much more natural.

    "En, fifty people. Though not many, they’re enough for the moment."

    "Can they be trusted?"

    "They're trustworthy for now, but I’m not sure about it in the future." Mu Yunyao secretly thought, Yue Wang also wanted to rely on her to open the tea house to insert people. Before they were finished, they would have no conflict. These people were still safe to use so she could rest assured.

    "Master, the people you need can be trained."

    "It's too slow. It takes at least two to three years to train people. I don't have that much time." If she could, Mu Yunyao naturally wanted to have a trustworthy confidant. But at the moment she did not have much silver in her hands, and her time was tight. She could only find other ways to take shortcuts.

      Liu Liang was confused, it seems that from the beginning of his contact with Mu Yunyao, he could feel a sense of urgency from her, as if she was running away from something. But she was only 13 years old, and except for her mother, there were no other relatives. Now she had silver in her hands, owned a residence, and also opened a Xiufang (TN: embroidery shop). It could be said that she could live the second half of her life safely and without worries. Then, where did this sense of urgency came from?

    "Master, I also need money."

    Mu Yunyao raised her head and looked at Liu Liang's serious face. After a while, she opened her mouth and asked: "How much do you need?"

    "The matter needs two thousand silver now." Liu Liang’s heart was slightly burdened, he was afraid of not having his master's trust, and did not know how to explain to her. He just wanted to help her achieve her wish.

    Mu Yunyao did not ask further and nodded: "There’s not so much silver in the Xiufang. I will give you silver banknotes after I go home at night."

    "Master..."

    "No need to explain, I trust your character, Just let me see the results. If necessary, you’ll take responsibility." Mu Yunyao did not ask for more questions, she dared to gamble on the relationship with Yue Wang, and did not care to bet once more with Liu Liang. Either way, even if she loses a bet, she would only lose some silver.

    Liu Liang stared blankly for a moment then immediately nodded afterwards: "Yes."

    Waiting until Liu Liang to leave, Mu Yunyao could not help but laugh out loud: When this ice block was placed next to Jin Wang, she had never heard him say a word. Even Jin Wang thought he was mute, but she did not expect he could speak now and that once he spoke, he would not stop.

    Seeing the change in Liu Liang, letting Mu Yunyao had a sense of joy that she had changed the future, so her heart was very delightful. She felt that as long as she worked hard, she would be able to change the ending of her own as well as her mother’s endings, and let those people pay the price they deserved!

    At the entrance of Niyunfang, many people gathered together to watch the excitement. After waiting for a long time, they did not see the door being opened. They took advantage of Jin Lan’s outing and hurriedly pulled her over to ask, only to know that in the next month, Niyunfang would be busy making clothes in the next month and would no longer open the door.

As soon as the news came out, the ladies who had not yet had time to order their clothes pounded their breasts and stamped their feet. Before, they thought that the clothes in Niyunfang were too expensive, so they went back to think about it. Who knew that this delay would cost them another month? When they thought about this month that they had to look at the clothes of others wearing the sought after Niyunfang clothes, they felt uncomfortably ashen. But no matter how anxious they were, there was nothing that could be done. Some people even turned to seek help from Lady Jin but it did not work.
