Yu Yi and Yu Heng quietly followed him out. After exiting the room, they hurriedly went up to him and carried him to the side yard.
Steward Qin was furious. He knocked on the two people's heads and said, "Have you gone mad? Don't you know that the elders are not to be frightened?"
Yu Yi hurriedly apologized with a grin, "Master Qin, speak the truth with this young one. Did Mistress see the person next door …" As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of the Su residence.
Yu Heng, who was standing to the side, looked nervously at Supervisor Qin. Seeing him nod his head, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide, "I almost believed what you said just now. I didn't expect that you would be someone who doesn't mean what he says!"
Steward Qin once again sent a slap towards the two of them, "I still don't know what's going on. You two are not allowed to make a ruckus!"
"Don't worry, Master Qin. We brothers are the most reliable." Yu Heng hurriedly patted his chest in guarantee.
Steward Qin couldn't help but roll his eyes, "If it weren't for the fact that Your Highness's performance was too obvious today, who knows when you two would have realized this. You still dare to say that you are reliable and waste food every day!"
Yu Yi chuckled, "Then, do you think we should be more respectful when we meet that Lady Mu in the future?"
"Just like usual. Miss Mu is still not old enough yet. Besides, things might not be as good as we thought …" Steward Qin sighed.
Yu Heng was puzzled. "Why not? There is no man in the world who can be better than Prince. I think Lady Mu has a good vision and should be able to see through the beads. "
"Emotions are the most unpredictable. In the past few days, Your Highness' mood hasn't been very good. I have to busy myself with matters of not envy. I can't come all the time, so the two of you have to take care of me."
"Yes, the two of us will definitely do our best."
On the day of the Lantern Festival, Mu Yunyao packed up her things and headed to Cao Manor in the morning.
When Lady Jin heard her, she quickly led her to the pavilion. "I heard that you're sick. The weather is so cold right now. Why did you come all the way here?"
"I've not seen her for a few days, and I've been thinking about her. It's just that she was very sick before and I didn't dare to come over, afraid that I might be infected. Now that I'm more than half recovered, I came over quickly to say my farewells. How has she been these two days?"
"Very good, I will listen to you now. I will walk in my room every day, and sure enough, I feel that the child is gradually descending."
"Looks like little brother dotes on mother and knows how to make her give birth with less suffering." Near birth, the fetus moves downward, saving a lot of effort when it is actually born.
When Lady Jin heard this, she laughed even more happily. "I've prepared some gifts for your mother. Help me bring them back later."
"Alright."
After talking for a while, Mu Yunyao automatically excused herself, "My foster mother, my cold weather isn't too good, so I won't stay any longer. After I leave, please let the Yin Hong make some vinegar smoke the room and keep it warm for the next few days. Don't go out in the cool weather, it's the same when you walk around the room."
"Alright, I'll listen to you."
Coming out of the Cao family's mansion, Mu Yunyao looked through the curtains at both sides of the street. It was the New Year's Eve and the streets were bustling with noise and excitement.
Jin Lan stood at the side and could not help but sigh. "Although these lanterns are not as exquisite as those in the brocade garden, there are a lot of them. It's quite a sight to see. Does Miss want to buy one to enjoy it?"
"There's no need. Let's hurry back to the manor so that mother won't worry."
"Yes, miss."
Now that Mu Yunyao was her only relative, even the slightest movement could cause her heart to jump out of her chest. "Hurry back to your room and rest, I'll go make you something to eat."
"Alright, thank you mother."
Just as Mu Yunyao got up, she saw Silver Red rushing over, "Greetings Madam Su, Greetings Miss."
"Is there something wrong with Lady Silver Red? Why did she come in such a hurry?" Come in and sit down to warm up first. " Su Qing said.
Silver Red took a deep breath. "Madam, I've come to invite Miss to the Cao family's residence. The Emperor has bestowed a gift and is waiting for Miss to go thank him!"
Su Qing was overjoyed when she heard this, and Jin Lan and the others couldn't help but jump in joy. Mu Yunyao had suffered a lot for the sake of embroidering that new year's gift, so it was worth it for her to be rewarded by the Emperor.
Mu Yunyao smiled, "I'll go over right now. Mother, tidy up the room and inform Supervisor Qin. I presume there are many things that need to be served!"
"Alright, you go to the Cao family first. Mother will do it right away." Mu Yunyao followed Yin Hong into the carriage and rushed over to the Cao family's residence. When Lady Jin saw her, she immediately pulled her over, "I just told you to stay a while longer, I thought you'd be extra careful. See, do you want to come back today?" While he was saying those words of reprimand, he got the maid to bring him the stove …
In front of him.
"If I knew that my godmother could predict the future, I wouldn't have left."
"Good! You dare to tease your foster mother? Wait for your little brother to come out. I will definitely make him go and cause more trouble for you."
I've already prepared the fabric, and after the Lantern Festival, I can only use my needle and thread to sew clothes for my little brother. At that time, I will dress him like a child sitting at Guanyin's place.
Lady Jin couldn't help but smile. Every time Mu Yunyao came, she would be exceptionally happy.
As she spoke, the front courtyard had already been prepared. Mu Yunyao supported Lady Jin as they made their way to the front courtyard.
"Emperor's edict says that Mu Yunyao has a pure heart, Shu Min is intelligent, and she has performed meritorious deeds in embroidery. She has especially bestowed a hundred gold taels, ten brocades, and one gold needle … A pair of jade ruyi … "
After she finished reciting the rewards, Mu Yunyao's knees felt cold to the point of numbness, "Thank you for your grace Your Majesty. May my Emperor live a thousand years, live ten thousand years, and live ten thousand years."
Cao Yunnian and Lady Jin each had their own rewards, which were unique to fourth rank officials. At this moment, they were overjoyed and quickly invited their servants to the parlour for tea. "Eunuch Li, please come in."
The one who had come to pass the decree was a young attendant with the surname Li, but his attitude towards Mu Yunyao was especially gentle.
"Miss Mu, our family's steward pays his respects to the young lady."
Mu Yunyao was slightly puzzled. "My Lord, I've never seen Lord Manager's face, but I wonder where you can come from?"
"Of course I have. The last time I came to pass the imperial edict to you, you even sent me Chief Steward's tea leaves!"
Mu Yunyao's face was filled with surprise, "Sir Manager, could it be Sir Xu?"
"Yes. A few days ago, Eunuch Xu was promoted to steward of the house. He also said that he wanted me to ask Miss for more tea leaves." I had prepared some tea beforehand, hoping to send it over to Sir Xu during the New Year celebration. However, since the lord lives in the palace, I had no chance to deliver it, so I kept it. I didn't expect that the opportunity would come today.
"One or two." "Of course it's good. My master is talking about the tea that the young lady is stir-frying every day."
