Chapter 187
Chapter 187
Zhou Ruihua, the wife of Li Munian, was born in the Zhou family, which was the Minister of War. It was said that when she reached her prime, she became acquainted with Li Mu Nian at first sight, so she decided to marry him even at the risk of her reputation. This resulted in the Zhou family and the Li family to become extremely unhappy, and in the end it was the Emperor who decided to marry Zhou Ruihua to Li Mu Nian.
However, the royal marriage didn't improve the relationship between the two families. Even after so many years, the two families still didn't interact much.
Madam Zhou said gently, "I had the intention of asking Miss Mu to take a seat but did not make an appointment in advance. I was afraid that I would not be able to find a seat, so I took the liberty to invite Miss Mu. Could you make things difficult for Miss?"
"There have always been some seats reserved for you in the Avaricious Restaurant for the purpose of entertaining distinguished guests." There have always been some seats reserved for the sake of entertaining distinguished guests in the Avaricious Restaurant for the sake of entertaining distinguished guests.
"Of course it's good. In the capital, I've heard that Miss's skills in making tea are exceptional, and even Eunuch Xu in the palace has never stopped praising her. When the emperor heard of this, he said that if there was a chance, he would definitely recruit Miss into the palace and take a look at her stunning skills in making tea."
Mu Yunyao got into the carriage and followed Madame Zhou all the way to the beautiful flower garden. She then led the way to the peony seat.
Steward Qin walked over and arranged a tea set with some people.
Mu Yunyao personally brewed tea for Madame Zhou. Looking at the wondrous scene that was conjured from the tea, Madam Zhou praised for a long time, "In the earlier years, I heard that the wife of Jiangnan Tea was able to make tea with unparalleled craftsmanship. I thought she was just bragging at first, but today, I've seen Miss Mu's craftsmanship.
"Only then do we know that there is a person above us and that what he says is true."
"Madam, you are too kind." Mu Yunyao's face turned slightly red and she looked slightly embarrassed, but her eyes carried a trace of complacency and happiness.
Madame Zhou took in her expression and the smile in her eyes deepened. After tea, she strolled around the beautiful flower garden and left without a word.
Mu Yunyao accompanied the person to the outside of the garden and waited for her to get on the carriage before turning around and returning.
Steward Qin came over and greeted her with a serious expression, "Miss, is that the wife of the newly appointed Salt Fate Envoy, Li Mu Nian?"
Mu Yunyao smiled and nodded. "That's right, we met at the Cao family's Full Moon Banquet. He specifically invited me over just now, saying that he didn't want to be envious of me having tea, so I brought him over."
Steward Qin smiled, "What does Miss think of this person?"
Mu Yunyao curled her lips into a smile. "You're gentle and approachable. Even though we haven't known each other for long, it's still extremely easy for people to have a good impression of you."
Hearing this, Supervisor Qin felt relieved. "Lady, you have seen through everything. It seems that Madam will have to wait for you. Lady, please go home quickly."
"Alright, then I'll take my leave."
Yu Yi was at a loss. After Mu Yunyao left, he asked Supervisor Qin, "Supervisor Qin, what did you mean by what you said to Miss Mu just now? Why can't I hear any mystery behind it? "
"There's no mystery behind it, how can you tell?"
"Then is this Madame Zhou good or bad?"
Supervisor Qin shook his head. This person's brain didn't know how to react at all: "What about Madame Zhou? "What about Miss Mu's identity?" Madame Zhou was Li Munian's official wife, and was from the Zhou family in the capital. She was the direct daughter of the current Minister of the Military Department. Although Lady Mu was now Master Cao's adopted daughter, her status was extremely shallow. It was unlikely that Madame Zhou would take her seriously …
"Yes."
"Manager Qin nodded," Didn't you already say the key point? " A crucial point? " Yu Yi thought about it carefully and was suddenly stunned, "That's right. Logically speaking, even if Madame Zhou was approachable, she shouldn't have treated Lady Mu so well! Furthermore, from what I've heard, this Madame Zhou has a calm appearance and an extremely arrogant heart. She even once said she was disdainful …
If you are to act on behalf of the royal family's wife … "
Looks like Ziling City is going to have another wind. "Steward Qin thought for a moment and said," Recently, get someone to keep an eye on the Li family. After all, the Li family belongs to the First Prince's lineage. Li Qingzhou's eldest daughter had been in the palace for many years, and she was now in the position of imperial concubine. In addition, she had raised the eldest son of the Emperor, which was highly respected by the Emperor. And now, the First Prince had married a daughter of a branch of the Li Family.
An important reason why the Emperor began to cut back on Li Qingzhou's power.
"Yes."
When Mu Yunyao returned home, Su Qing looked at her and let out a sigh of relief, "Yao`er, why did that Madame Zhou look for you?"
"It must be that Nebula Market and the Not Envy Pavilion are too popular. She wanted to test it out, and I was just there to act with her."
"What's the effect?"
"Mother, don't worry. Madam Zhou has a noble background, and she married into a rich family like the Li family. Naturally, she disdains making things difficult for me. Let alone a small Nebula Market and the No Envy Pavilion, even a colossus like the Rainbow Moon Pavilion is nothing in their eyes."
"Sigh, I feel that I have lost some of my strength in my heart after Lord Cao and Madame Jin left." Su Qing couldn't help but sigh. She had a calm personality. It was not easy for her to feel that everything was settled, but then she suddenly felt that something was off. She really didn't know what would happen in the future.
Mu Yunyao took Su Qing's arm and sat on the bedside. "Mother, you don't have to worry. It's good if foster father and foster mother go to the capital. This way, when we return to the Su Clan, we can meet them in the capital."
"Yao'er, I also heard from Steward Qin about some matters regarding that Sir Li. His background is deep and profound, and he is not someone we can afford to offend. In the future, we should stay as far away from him as possible." Mother, I don't want to have anything to do with him, but it seems impossible now. When Madame Zhou saw me today, she was probably trying to probe my character and personality. She might have some other motives. " Mu Yunyao thought for a moment before deciding to tell Su Qing the truth. There were some things that needed to be told by her …
Sooner or later, they would come across it. If they had known earlier, they would have been prepared for it.
"The Li family has a large family and the father of Lord Li is the Prime Minister. We are just commoners, what can we possibly get from them?"
"Mother knows Lord Li's father's identity. I presume that she knows that he is the First Prince's maternal grandfather. Nebula Market and Unenvious Tower have gained a great reputation in Jiangnan. It would be good if they could be used by the First Prince."
Su Qing couldn't help but be nervous. "Doesn't that mean we're in danger?"
"Mother, you don't have to worry too much. Since you want to make use of us, you will naturally use some methods to win us over. Besides, do you think we'll go overboard with the golden signboard that the emperor personally gave us? We'll just treat it as not understanding." If Yue Yang had not been there, their situation would have been much more difficult, but the situation was different now. If they had been able to get their hands on Yan Zheng according to plan, then Yue Yang's power would have quickly expanded. With such a stable backer, she was not afraid of even a few princes!
