Chapter 102 – Niyunfang is on Fire
"Madam went out to buy silk today, and when she returned, a child suddenly rushed to the front of the carriage and threw a piece of a firecracker at the horse . "
"Child?"
"Yes, this servant went up to ask . He was just the children of an ordinary farmer . The parents of the children rushed forward and kowtowed to admit their wrongs, so Madam didn't care anymore . "
Mu Yunyao's forehead twitched . Not to mention why this child had suddenly rushed in front of the carriage, just the fact that he had exploded the firecracker was worthy of suspicion . Even though Jiangnan was rich, ordinary people would not play firecrackers for their children without a new year .
Seeing that she was still worried, Su Qing comforted her, "Mother just accidentally twisted her leg a little . It's fine . "
Mu Yunyao quickly squatted down and examined Su Qing's ankles . It was just that they were slightly swollen and red . She couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief . "Mother, trying your best not to go out these past two days . I'm afraid this matter isn't as simple as it sounds . "
"Alright . "
Since Liu Liang wasn't around and she has not fully trust in Si Qin and the rest, Mu Yunyao kept this matter in her heart, for the time being . She is repeatedly warning everyone in Ni Yunfang to be extra careful .
She suddenly woke up at night and smelled a burnt smell . As she put on her clothes, she called for Jin Lan and the others . When she arrived downstairs, she could already see the light of the fire .
Jin Lan and the others had already warned by Mu Yunyao, so they could still hold on . Then, they took out a water basin and quickly extinguished the flames . The fire was not great, just lit the curtain and made the walls black .
Mu Yunyao's brows tightly furrowed, and her heart filled with cold intent . These two days, she had been extra careful and reminded Jin Lan and others to place some flammable fabrics and threads in their room . She carefully put them away as she was afraid that someone would not be able to control herself and set Ni Yunfang on fire .
Jin Lan and the others didn't dare to make a sound . It was Su Qing who limped down the stairs, interrupting Mu Yunyao's contemplation . "Mother, there's nothing wrong with this small matter . Why have you come downstairs?"
Su Qing looked at the burned curtain and the water stains on the ground, and she couldn't help but cover her chest . "Yao'er, those people's methods are too vicious . "
"Mother, don't worry . In two days, I will have them return one by one!" Mu Yunyao's voice was clear and cold . Her black eyes were unfathomable as if all the light in her surroundings had absorbed into it .
Hearing Mu Yunyao's words, Su Qing couldn't help but worry, "Yao`er, don't be too impulsive . Fortunately, the fire didn't start . "
"Don't worry, Mother . I know what I'm doing . "
When Lady Jin heard about what had happened at the Ni Yunfang, she specifically made a trip here . "Yunyao, is there anything major?"
Mu Yunyao hurriedly came over to greet her . "Greetings to Madam . I've made you worried . Since I found the fire in time, it's only burnt a little curtain and tidied it up a little . "
Lady Jin frowned . "Where's your mother? Is her injury serious?"
"It's just a twist of the foot, so it's fine . " As Mu Yunyao spoke, she led Lady Jin to sit down and let Jin Lan prepare some fruit tea . "Madam is pregnant, let's drink some fruit tea . "
Lady Jin could not help but loosen her expression . "Seeing that you can hold it in so steadily, I am relieved . In other words, these two days will be better . "
Mu Yunyao nodded: "I only think of Madam's words, so I am this calm . " She was not someone who suffered a loss . Those people had injured Su Qing, so she naturally had to pay them back . However, she could not say these words to Lady Jin .
"I will send more people to guard the area for the next two days . You also need to be more vigilant . " The people he sent did not notice that anyone suspicious was approaching Ni Yunfang, and they could not find evidence so that everything was in vain .
"Thank you, Madam . "
After sending away Lady Jin, Mu Yunyao leaned on the chair and thought about it . After thinking for a while, she suddenly got up and went back upstairs and picked up the pen and paper to write to Yue Wang .
There is a 30% share of Yue Wang in Ni Yunfang . Nowadays, there are frequent incidents in Ni Yunfang, and they almost being burned by people .
Naturally, they had to tell the Yue Wang about this . Other than that, they should also send some silver taels over . When Yue Wang saw gold and silver, he will feel the need to pay more attention to them .
The west of Guangdong Province was very cold and bitter . Mu Yunyao heard that Yue Wang didn't even have enough military pay . This time, she only sends some more silver taels over and then slowly find some to make up for it .
Steward Qin was slightly surprised to see Mu Yunyao . At this moment, her face filled with fatigue, and there was even a hint of paleness on it, "Steward Qin, I have a letter and some things that I want to give to Fourth Master . Are you sure it's convenient?"
"Of course, it's convenient . Miss, what's the matter?"
Mu Yunyao smiled bitterly . "There is nothing wrong with it . It's just that a lot of things have happened in Ni Yunfang recently . Last night, someone tried to set a fire in Ni Yunfang . Fortunately, they found it in time and didn't cause much damage . " "There's such a thing?" Steward Qin's eyes turned cold . Regardless of whether Mu Yunyao and the Prince could succeed or not in the future, right now, she is helping to prepare a teahouse so that the Prince can openly plant spies in Jiangnan . He couldn't just watch her get bullied like this, "Miss Mu, don't worry . I will make people as soon as possible to search and find out what kind of information you have, and you'll notify the young lady immediately . "
Mu Yunyao heaved a sigh of relief, "Many thanks, Steward Qin . "
The next two days were calm and peaceful, causing Su Qing's heart to feel calm down . On the third day, Mu Yunyao was summoned by Lady Jin into the Cao family manor early in the morning . "Yunyao, we have obtained the exact information . Today, the Emperor will bestow upon us the reward, so Governor Zhang has already gone to meet with the officials . We will wait while my husband goes to the Governor's Office . You will clean up again so as not to be rude . "
Mu Yunyao knew that Lady Jin was kind-hearted . She tidied up her makeup several times in the mirror when a red tinge appeared on her face, but there wasn't much of a ripple in her heart .
She had worked hard for this day for a long time, and now that she got what she wanted, she only felt that it was natural .
Outside the city, a group of a hundred people escorted two carts of goods quickly into the city .
The officials had been guarding the city gates for a long time . The streets were already locked down, and there was no movement of the civilians .
Governor Zhang was standing at the head of the officials, and he hurriedly stepped forward when he saw the group stop . "Lord Su, you've worked hard all the way . " "Greetings, Lord Zhang . This humble one owes Your Majesty the grace of the heavens . I have the pleasure of escorting Your Majesty Reward . " A young man in light armor dismounted from his horse and bowed to Governor Zhang . His face was as fair as jade, and his figure was tall and straight . His phoenix eyes were as bright as the stars .
He was like a beautiful tree, outstanding and extraordinary . Cao Yunnian, who stood in the ranks of the officials, looked at the young man and secretly sighed in his heart, as expected of someone raised by the Su Family . At the age of twenty, he was promoted to become a first-level guard and was given a prominent mission by the Emperor . He dared to ask the Emperor to come here . It seems like he has been on the official .
It's been ten years since he climbed up, but he had only recently broken through to the fourth rank . As expected, this person really can't be compared to him . Governor Zhang led the young man to escort the reward to the governor's manor . The other officials at the side were smiling politely to the side, but they couldn't stop glancing at the two carriages .
