Chapter 95 Simply can’t compromise

    When these women came over, they let Lady Jin preside over justice, and the people around me responded, and they were staring at the Ding family.

    "Please ask Jin Furen to preside over justice for us!"

    Old Master Ding knew that the move had angered everyone, and in desperation, he even pushed Old Madam Ding out directly: "All of this is her nonsense, I will let her go to Niyunfang now to apologize to Mu guniang. Jin Furen, I was also confused for a while, and almost made a big mistake, please forgive me.” 

    Old Madam Ding was shocked. She did not expect that she was pushed out as a scapegoat: “Master, how can you act like this?"

    "This is your provocation in the middle, I just heard your rhetoric, I feel that it is the fault of Neiyunfang. Now I apologize to Mu guniang and ask her for forgiveness!"

    Lady Jin turned her head and looked at Mu Yunyao, eyes with a slight inquiry, Niyunfang's reputation had been saved, Ding family would also fall, if she was willing to wrap the issue now, there’s no loss. 

    Mu Yunyao understood the meaning of Lady Jin, but she did not intend to let Ding family go just like that. She wanted to nip the problem in the bud. Compared with Ding’s and Zhou’s, Niyunfang was still too weak. If they secretly look for trouble, Lady Jin could not always protect her here: "I’m afraid I can’t accept Ding Lao Furen’s apology. I’ve mentioned earlier, although I am a commoner, but I also regard my reputation as important as heaven. "

    After speaking, she went to Lady Jin, kneeled down and said to her upfront: "Please ask Jin Furen to uphold justice for this little girl and thoroughly investigate this matter!"

    Old Master Ding quickly said: "Mu guniang, I have already apologized to you. If you don't feel enough, this old man will apologizes to you again here, and is willing to pay two thousand silver as compensation for damaging guniang's reputation."

    Mu Yunyao's serious look did not have the slightest looseness, and even her eyes did not give Old Master Ding: "Please ask Jin Furen to be the master!" She was unwilling to compromise. 

    Lady Jin looked at Mu Yunyao, and the light in her eyes became brighter and brighter. At this moment, she was sure that Mu Yunyao would surely fly to the sky: "Well, you ask for a thorough investigation, then the remaining affairs are not under my ability. The affairs involve numerous things. I will ask Cao Daren to submit a report to the governor, and invite Governor Zhang to preside over the case." 

    “You!......" Old Master Ding’s face turned livid, his finger pointing at Mu Yunyao didn’t stop shaking. Suddenly, his eyes bulged, turned upwards and he directly fell to the ground.

    "Master!" Old Madam Ding exclaimed, and helped Old Master Ding to lie down on her while pleading at Wang Ren’s old master who rescued Old Master Ding before: "Physician, please quickly save him!" 

    Wang Ren’s master went forward to see the situation of Old Master Ding. He couldn't help but shake his head: "I’ve said before that he should not be too anxious, so as not to trigger a stroke. It was already dangerous after fainting once. Now, even Hua Tuo will find it difficult to cure him. Just take him back home and let him rest properly. With utmost care, perhaps there may be some hope for recovery."

(TN: Hua Tuo, a famous doctor at the end of Han dynasty)

  "Master!" Old Madam Ding cried, but no one felt sympathy towards her. She reaped what she sowed. Her pallor looked pale. Ultimately, she let someone took Old Master Ding home, "Let’s go, hurry up and lift Lao Ye to go home."

    Ding family strutted over arrogantly, but left dejected and depressed, really let the people in Jingling City to see enough jokes. In particular, the news that the four daughters of Ding's family were not biological daughters instantly spread throughout the Jingling City in one evening!

    Mu Yunyao did not fear the threats and violence, and did not face Ding family humbly, won a lot of good reputation for her. Especially after the news spread that the flying needle embroidery she taught was once a tribute, many women who did not sign up went to seek Niyunfang, everyone hopes to be able to come to learn the embroidery techniques.

    Mu Yunyao did not refuse. Anyway, she intended to expose the embroidery techniques. There were no differences between several more people and less people. The embroidery girls who were taught personally by Mu Yunyao to embroider were doubled in value. Many officials and ladies rushed to send people to invite them over, but most of them were rejected.

    They were not stupid. They only studied with Mu Yunyao for half a month. There were still many things that have not been learned at all. Mu Yunyao also secretly revealed that she wanted to choose the best embroidery girl to stay in Niyunfang. They naturally would not give up a watermelon for a sesame seed.

    Niyunfang's treatment was good. They have heard about it. They could learn the best embroidery skills and get the best treatment. Why should they go to those officials to see other people's faces? 

    Governor Zhang had long been fascinated by Niyunfang’s practice of spreading embroidery techniques. But he was, in the end, a governor, and the official position was there. It was impossible to intervene in the Jingling City. He could only be secretly anxious and envious of Cao Yunnian’s good fortune. Now that Ding family’s affairs have been reported, he knows that his chances were coming, and he would be asked to investigate Ding family. Under the investigation, he was extremely surprised. He did not expect that a small Ding family would hide so much.

    Xuanfu’s Zhou Ao was already too anxious to act. He originally thought about destroying the reputation of Niyunfang with the help of Ding Yuelan. But he forgot that there was no such thing as an omnipotent method. In the end, his plan backfired. Even Old Master Ding and Old Madam Ding were caught in the bee’s nest.

    One only heard before that among the Ding family's four daughters, only two of them were non-biological daughters, and then he thought of the affairs of the things they experienced before and after. Zhou Ao must have been regretting it deeply in his heart. But now that the truth came out, he could only try his best to remedy it.

     In Niyunfang, Mu Yunyao knocked on the door of Ding Yuelan's room.

   These days, things were messy, and she couldn't think of anything to say to Ding Yuelan, thus she could only stay silent for the moment. However, it was not a solution. After all, it was still necessary to make everything clear.

    After waiting for a long time, Ding Yuelan opened the door and saw Mu Yunyao. There was a sigh of relief in her heart. In these few days, she had closed herself in her room and had thought about a lot of things. With Mu Yunyao coming, she could make things clear: "Little boss, please come in."

    Hearing her address herself as such, Mu Yunyao relaxed her tense heart a bit, went into the room, slightly pondered for a moment and said: "Furen, the purpose for my visit this time, the first thing is to apologize to you. Ding Jia came to make trouble, in order to maintain Niyunfang’s reputation, I disregarded furen's feelings, please forgive me."

    Ding Yuelan sat silently, slightly lowered her eyes, making people unable to see her emotions. Mu Yunyao sighed: "The second thing is I want to show the lady something, hope to get the lady's permission." When the voice fell, a knock sounded on the door. She went to the door, took a booklet from Jin Lan’s hands and then nodded to let Jin Lan leave. She then put the booklet on the table in front of Ding Yuelan. 

    Ding Yuelan opened the booklet. To her surprise, the whole booklet was actually full of a beautiful figure embroidered with herself as the model. The woman in the pictures was wearing colorful dress, different from her current gentle and refined demeanour, and different from the heroic woman in the picture with her wearing Zongma Guandeng dress. Perhaps, she was more akin to a blossoming of flowers, and the eyes were bright, the smile was brilliant, revealing an exuberant vitality. 

    "This is actually me? It’s really enviable. But, what a pity, I have lost my original appearance..."

Hehe. To the person hating my translation, why don't you stop reading it here? It really dampens my spirit to keep on translating. Even though I use MTL to translate the story, I also look through various pinyin to make sure the message is translated properly. I can drop this because it doesn't give me a cent benefit to continue. But I already said I'm only translating this until someone can pick up this novel for me and I can translate other novels that I like or the novels that have been dropped. What do you say? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And about that, Idk where my current editor goes to but I guess s/he is busy with his/her life. So anyone up to be proofreader/editor?
