Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 224

Chapter 224

There Is a Long Way To Go

In the afternoon, there wasn’t much work to do in Ni Yun Fang, so Su Qing let Mu Yunyao goes home early to rest .

Not long after Mu Yunyao returned home, she heard Jin Lan come over to report, “Miss, Shopkeeper Qin invites you to visit Jin Xiu Garden . ”

The Snow Fox jumped onto Mu Yunyao’s knees and used its head to rub against her fingers lightly . It let out a “wuu wuu” sound from its mouth, appearing to be very aggrieved .

Mu Yunyao lowered her head to caress the Snow Fox’s head . A soft and warm feeling came from her fingertips . She pondered for a moment before nodding and saying, “I understand . ”

Right now, the silver in her hand is enough, so it’s not impossible to separate from Yue Wang, but Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo are intertwined, and it’s too much to break off easily . It’s better to have a look again . If Yue Wang continues to investigating, then even if it would hurt, she has to make a clear decision with him as soon as possible .

In Jin Xiu Garden, Yue Wang was a little nervous .

It had already been four days since they parted on bad terms . Yue Wang thought about it carefully, and at that time, he was indeed too impulsive . After being in contact with her for so long, he already knew that Mu Yunyao was over-preventive, and with him forcing her to ask that question, it was clear that he had pushed her further away .

Not long after, Steward Qin walked into the study, “Your Highness, Miss Mu has come . ”

Yue Wang perked up and immediately sat upright: “Let Miss Mu in . ”

Mu Yunyao walked into the study with a gentle smile on her face . Her expression didn’t change in the slightest, “Greetings, Fourth Master . ”

Initially, he thought that Mu Yunyao wouldn’t come to see him, and even if she did, she would definitely be upset over what had happened . However, he didn’t expect that not only had she come, but her expression also didn’t even change in the slightest .

Yue Wang’s heart sank a little . He had been worried for so long, but she had not taken it to heart .

“No need to be so courteous . I invited you over because I have something that I need to discuss with you . ”

“If there is anything that Fourth Master orders, I will try my best to do If there is anything that I can do . ” Mu Yunyao raised her head and looked straight at Yue Wang, repeatedly chanting in her heart that this life was the real source . Her mind actually calmed down a bit, and the fear and suspicion she had towards Yue Wang dissipated bit by bit, and she finally was able to face him with a normal heart .

It seems that there are some advantages to having a conflict . At the very least, Mu Yunyao didn’t have to feel a chill every time she met him .

Yue Wang acutely sensed that something was wrong with Mu Yunyao’s mood, but when he tried to distinguish the difference carefully, he couldn’t find out . “You asked me before if I had any thoughts on the batch of salt that Li Yuanyi is currently transporting . I want to hear what you have in mind . ”

Afraid that his words would cause Mu Yunyao to recall her displeasure from before, Yue Wang looked carefully at Mu Yunyao’s expression, and his tone unconsciously became a little calmer .

Mu Yunyao didn’t have the slightest trace of abnormality in her expression, and her smile still remained on her face . “I initially also wanted to talk to Fourth Master again, but since you just so happened to ask, can you please listen for a bit and see if it’s feasible?”

He couldn’t say that he was relieved, but he was still disappointed . He nodded his head slightly after hearing what she said: “Tell me about it . ”

“Fourth Master, you also know that the high salt price nowadays because of the particular salt, which is operated by the government . However, the system that existed in place was not perfect, and therefore, private salt was rampant . Now because of the salt policy investigation and coupled with the rumors that official salt is sinking in the Xijiang River, the price of salt has risen quite a lot . It is not easy for the people to live, and the high price of salt is bound to add to their burden . ”

“That’s true . ”

“Then, is Your Highness willing to seek some welfare for the people?”

Yue Wang squinted his eyes slightly as he quickly thought in his heart: “You want me to send someone to cut off that batch of salt again?”

Mu Yunyao smiled and nodded, “We have already earned enough silver from those salt merchants, but we have already formed a grudge with them . Currently, the salt merchants and Li Yuanyi are busy protecting themselves, so they naturally can’t do anything to deal with us . But once they react, they will try to do everything possible to retaliate . Therefore, the best policy is to eliminate future trouble forever . ”

“You want to eliminate Li Yuanyi and those salt merchants?”

Mu Yunyao slightly tilted her head and looked at Yue Wang, “Don’t tell me that Fourth Master Ning doesn’t want to interfere in Jiangnan’s salt policy? If that batch of salt merchants didn’t fall, then there wouldn’t be any new salt merchants rising . Especially the Wu, Wei, and Cao families had been suppressing Jiangnan for a long time already, and they have already lacked the previous caution and restraint in their temperament . If a new batch of people were to go up, it would also be able to quiet down the salt policy in Jiangnan for a while . ”

Yue Wang pondered for a moment, and his eyes gradually became deeper: “Alright . ” Although this incident was dangerous, there were countless opportunities in it . Once he succeeded, his power would change tremendously .

Mu Yunyao smiled . “Then, Fourth Master Ning has to hurry and prepare . After a while, the salt boat will pass through the Xijiang River, pass through Jingling City and then head north of Linjiang City . These three places have opportunities to fight . Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, depending on how Fourth Master Ning plan it . ”

“Do you have any suggestions?” Yue Wang subconsciously asked Mu Yunyao .

“I don’t know about it very well . It’s just that when I came with my mother to Jingling City, I heard from the old boatman that there was a period of extreme fog in Linjiang City during the summer, which is very strange in the local area . So Fourth Master might as well ask the old boatmen carefully about it . They have the ability to predict the weather, and if they can make it in time for a foggy day, that would be Heaven’s help . ”

Yue Wang looked deeply at Mu Yunyao, then nodded and said, “Alright, I will immediately send people to investigate . ”

After they finished discussing business, the study room instantly quietened down . Mu Yunyao waited for a moment but didn’t hear any other instructions from Yue Wang, so she got up and said her goodbyes, “I won’t disturb Fourth Master any longer …”

“Wait a minute,” Yue Wang stood up and took out an exquisite wooden box from the side . It was made of sandalwood and inlaid with precious stones, so it was obviously worth a lot of money, “It was all thanks to you giving me advice that I was able to earn so much money . These are a thank you gift that I prepared, and I hope you can accept them . ”

Mu Yunyao’s fingertips trembled as she raised her hand to receive the box . She opened it and took a look, then her heart suddenly moved . It was full of jewelry and was too precious and beautiful . The jewelry bought from Yi Bao Xuan today was not as impressive as the one in the box .

“Fourth Master, these jewels are too precious …”

“Take them . In fact, these things have been with me for a long time . I can’t bear to part with them, so I left them empty and dusty . It’s just right to give them to you . . . ” These pieces of jewelry left behind by his mother and had been with him for a long time . Now that he finally found someone he wanted to give it to, it could be considered a blessing .

Mu Yunyao thought for a moment before bowing to Yue Wang . “Since that’s the case, then I’ll thank Fourth Master for the reward . If there’s nothing else, then I’ll take my leave first . ”

“Alright . ”

After Mu Yunyao left, Steward Qin hurriedly walked into the study: “Wang Ye, did Miss Mu accept the jewelry?”

Yue Wang nodded, but there was a wrinkle between his brows .

“Then why do you look so unhappy?”

“Nothing . ” Just now, Mu Yunyao didn’t show any abnormal expressions and even brought the gift he gave her when he left . However, he was acutely aware that something had changed, but he still couldn’t tell if this change was good or bad, which only made him worried .

“This little footwork can’t achieve the goal of a thousand miles . There is a long way to go, the path is long, and the water drops through the stone . . . ” Yue Wang couldn’t help but laugh softly: “Uncle Qin, I understand . ”
