Lil' Painted Life

(TN: OMG I made a mistake with Yunyao’s guard’s name. It’s not Liu Er but Liu Liang. I just realized it in this chapter. Hope everyone forgives me. In translation, both are translated as six or two. With my meagre Chinese knowledge, I assumed it was Er(2).... But Liang can also means two.) Chapter 69 Borrowing People    "Master wants to add more people?" Liu Liang inquired.   "Yes, it takes too long to train people directly at present. I will find some readily available subordinates for you."     Outside the carriage, Liu Liang’s eyes moved, and there was chillness in the eyes. He remembered the man who had laid his sword across his neck yesterday. He tried his best, but he could not kill his opponent. He had not even been able to touch the corner of his clothes!     The master had just said that she was going to find some readily available subordinates, was she going to ask for help from that person? When he found that he was not n...

(TN: this chapter and the last has so many confusing terms idk how many times I need to reread, translate, adjust and check the pinyin for each confusing word too haaaa~) Chapter 68   Booming business     Mu Yunyao had just arrived at Neiyunfang and saw a lot of people crowding around the door so that it was hard to get in. She saw the busy Jin Lan and Jin Qiao with six ladies in the hall. Noticing Mu Yunyao, Jin Qiao rushed to the front and looked a little panicked: "Miss, these six ladies all want to order custom-made clothes, saying that they can add more money to have the clothes within seven days."     But they were understaffed, now that both Jin Qiu and Jin Ju had been sent back, it was simply impossible to produce so many clothes in seven days. Mu Yunyao nodded in acknowledgement, and then went to the six ladies to salute: "Greetings to the ladies, the requirements of the ladies have been clear, but Neiyunfang strives for excellence...

Chapter 67   Handprint     Yue Wang was surprised for a moment, then he immediately got up and strode towards the chair on the outside of the screen to sit down.     Mu Yunyao did not expect that his movements would be swift and she was slightly dumbfounded, before she got up and put on her dress, wiped off the cold sweat on her forehead, and then went out after a sigh of relief.     The king sat on the chair, his fingers brushing against the hilt of the sword, his thoughts unknown.     Mu Yunyao glanced at him and quickly retracted her gaze. She then got up and went to the back of the table to write up a deed. When the tip of the pen touched the paper, she suddenly paused, and her eyes glinted with slyness, followed by the use of Yue Wang’s handwriting style to write the deed.     For this handwriting style, she had to share 30% of the silver money from Niyunfang. It could be said that this handwriting w...

Chapter 66   Please let me get dressed first!     Mu Yunyao was not sure what Yue Wang wanted to do. In her previous life, she knew very little about him. She only knew that although he was always in the military, he was disliked by the emperor, she also knew that his character was cold and ruthless. If he really wanted to kill her, it would truly be too easy, she thought, thus she could not help but attempted to argue with him:     "Today I found two sets of footprints in Niyunfang's second floor, those would belong to you and your assistant, right?"     Yue Wang showed no response, his eyes remained cold.     Mu Yunyao continued: "Breaking into the store with the intentions to steal the property of my Niyunfang. The carpet with the footprints, I let my people keep it. I also have evidence against you."     "Oh..." He once again laughed softly. He felt that the woman in front of him was particularly inte...

Chapter 65   Revenge or revenge     Jin Qiao served up the tea and snacks on the side and retreated.     Jin Lan secretly wiped the sweat on the palm of her hand and smiled while Lady Yang to sit down: "Lady Yang can check this out first. This is the booklet to be released next season. You can choose the clothes that look beautiful to the lady and matches your temperament in the booklet. "     Lady Yang’s eyes lit up, and she opened the booklet and went through it carefully. Her heart was full of joy.     When she had just arrived at the door,  she had seen Xuan Fu’s wife, Ding Yuelan was wearing a red dress and swaggering on the street while riding a horse around. One was afraid that every street was talking about the lady's peerless style.     Thinking of Ding Yuelan while choosing the clothes, she could not help focusing on the various red dresses in the book. She finally decided on Ye Hou Zang Hu...

Chapter 64   The real first customer     Mu Yunyao didn't mind: "Lady, before I used your image as a blueprint for the embroidery, I also inquired about your temperament through Lady Jin, so this dress has some unique styles. You should take a look at it first. If you think there is something inappropriate, I can change it at any time."     "You are well prepared."     "If one doesn't care, how can one earn silver? Life is not easy, sometimes it looks good, but it may not be good, just like me. This Niyunfang, currently enjoying the limelight, is a famous embroidery shop. If we cannot produce decent clothes, perhaps in a few months time, Niyunfang will fade away in Jingling city and go bankrupt. "     Ding Yuelan turned to look at Mu Yunyao, saw her focusing on the hanger to grab the clothes, searched for any hidden meanings in her words that seem harmless.     "Madam, do you like this dress?"     Ding Y...

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 ...
