Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

Chapter 220

When Wu Min heard that Li Yuan was willing to see him, she felt a sense of relief. It seemed that the First Prince and Li Yuan were planning on letting them off the hook!

"Greetings, Lord Li."

Li Yuan sized Wu Min up with a smile in his eyes, "Leader Wu need not be overly polite. These days, the Jiangnan salt government has been in turmoil, and I have been making full use of my time to investigate. Because of this, I did not see Leader Wu last time, so you should not be too concerned." Wu Min immediately stood up, "Sir Li, you don't have to say that. Sir has so much to do, it's already a blessing to be able to see me in time. I, the salt merchant, have also heard about what happened in Yangzhou city. I know that the lord has worked hard and thus, I'm giving you some gifts. I hope you can accept this.

"

As he spoke, he handed over the box in his hand.

Li Yuan opened the box and took a quick glance. The smile in his eyes deepened, "Thankfully, we have Chief Wu in Jiangnan. Only then will our salt flow be stable and stable."

"I cannot accept the praise of my lord. This time … I still need to thank sire for finding out about this matter, otherwise, when the emperor gets angry, maybe we salt merchants will be implicated as well. " Wu Min's face was filled with gratitude.

The two chatted merrily for an hour before Wu Min took her leave.

Li Yuan had received a report from someone else in a hurry, hence he was able to find the hidden salt. He did not fully investigate the matter, so he did not say much and only responded.

Wu Min, on the other hand, was afraid that the matter of the blame for the marriage had become so serious that she did not dare to speak her mind. Each of them had their own secrets, so they only chose words that were pleasant to hear. Neither of them mentioned the crux of the matter, allowing the both of them to be at ease.

The matter in Jiangnan proceeded like wildfire, and within a few days, news had already reached Ziling City.

As soon as King Yue received the news, he had Steward Qin send someone to invite Mu Yunyao over. After Mu Yunyao finished reading the letter sent over by Jiang Nan, she couldn't help but smile slightly, "This Lord Li is really decisive in his handling of the matter. It's only been a few days, yet the Jiangnan Salt Fate Envoy has already committed suicide out of fear of his crimes.

"It caused too much of a storm." None of these people are clean, they deserved to die. " Yue Yang's eyes turned slightly cold. After he finished speaking, he was afraid that Mu Yunyao would be implicated so many times and felt uncomfortable, so he started to explain, "They are transporting white salt, but they are earning blood-red silver. Everyone's hands are stained with blood.

"There's quite a bit of blood on the floor. He deserved to die." Mu Yunyao chuckled. She did not put those people's lives in her heart at all, but since Demon King Yue was willing to misunderstand, she was too lazy to explain, "Fourth Master, right now Sir Li can be said to be enjoying his spring day. I think that in the near future, that batch of salt will be shipped back to the north.

"

King Yue's gaze suddenly moved as he looked at Mu Yunyao with concentration. "Are you still thinking about this salt?"

Mu Yunyao tilted her head and laughed, "I was just asking Fourth Master, did you not say anything?" This was because this batch of salt was first extorted by Miss Mu from the salt merchants for over ten million taels of silver, then the prince sold this batch of salt for over fifteen million taels of silver. This was already close to thirty million taels of silver.

It was as if she could soar into the clouds. Lady Mu was actually still harboring thoughts on this salt. Could it be that she wanted to snatch it and sell it again?

King Yue's eyes lit up as he looked at Mu Yunyao who was smiling without saying a word. "Then, do you have anything else that you want to ask?"

The smile in Mu Yunyao's eyes intensified as she said half-jokingly, "Since Fourth Master has spoken, then I'll ask him everything I want to know?"

Unexpectedly, when King Yue heard this, he had a serious expression on his face. He turned his head to look at Steward Qin: "Uncle Qin, don't let the fifth ear appear around you."

Steward Qin nodded with a grave expression. Then, he walked out of the door and ordered Heng and Yu Yi, "Clean up the area around the study. Even if there are mice, they should be able to block the hole for me!"

A moment later, the surroundings of the study became completely quiet. King Yue looked at Mu Yunyao and said, "If you have anything to ask, feel free to ask." With Master Four being so formal, I don't know what to ask. " Mu Yunyao slightly blinked her eyes, as if she was in a daze. She had just casually mentioned that she wanted to see if King Yue was still thinking about earning some money. She didn't expect him to value her so much, so she …

Time was running out.

"You can say whatever you want to say. When you're done, I also have some things I want to ask you."

Mu Yunyao's eyes moved as she looked at the somewhat serious expression on King Yue's face. Her heart slightly tightened, "Fourth Master, you can ask whatever you want."

"Ask first."

"Then if I ask, Master Four can guarantee that what you've told me is the truth?" The smile on Mu Yunyao's face was slightly cold, and her gaze was extremely cold as she stared at King Yue.

Yue Yang frowned but did not reply.

Mu Yunyao coldly pursed her lips, her heart full of unspeakable ridicule. "Fourth Master, just pretend I didn't say anything just now. It's getting late. I'm going back to accompany my mother, so I won't stay here any longer."

He was testing himself with all his heart, yet he wished that he could be honest with him. Where in the world could there be such a thing?

"Halt!" Yue Wang stood up and slowly walked to Mu Yunyao's side. He lowered his eyes to look at her incomparably beautiful face, and the flowing light in his eyes gradually stabilized. "Ask!"

Mu Yunyao's heart trembled, as she was unable to grasp King Yue's meaning, "Did Fourth Master say anything I wanted to ask?"

"That's right."

"Can you guarantee that what you said was the truth?"

"Speak whatever you know!"

Yue Yang's entire body emitted a cold and piercing aura, his large figure seemed to envelop Mu Yunyao. An aura filled with aggression directly assaulted Mu Yunyao's heart, causing her to feel frightened, and she couldn't help but take two steps back.

The things that he had done were extremely secretive. If it was any other person who wanted to pry into the secrets within, the moment he opened his mouth, he would cause their blood to splatter all over the place.

But now that the one who had questioned him was Mu Yunyao, he actually didn't feel the slightest bit of resistance. Instead, he wanted to blurt out all the secrets that he had accumulated in his heart. Looking at Mu Yunyao's clear eyes, an impulse surged up from within his heart. He wanted Mu Yunyao to understand him, his character, his ways of doing things, the beautiful expectations in his heart, and the cold-blooded brutality in his heart. As long as Mu Yunyao wanted to know, he was willing to let go of all of his defenses.

It was a complete display in front of her.

His heart had always been cold and resolute, he would never rashly make decisions, but this thought made it difficult for him to resist once he thought of it. In his heart, a crazed thought was clamoring, he decided to gamble and deliver the softest place in his heart to Mu Yunyao!

If he won the bet, he could use this softness to hug Mu Yunyao and fill up his heart, which had always been empty. If he lost the bet, it would just be stabbing a steel knife into his heart. Yun Yao, go ahead. "
