Chapter 356
~ THE WELL-INFORMED YUE WANG ~
In the Capital, there were still rumors circulating around about the Su family. While Mu Yunyao sat in the carriage, she occasionally heard some of the surrounding rumors about the Su family.
Ni Yun Fang had chosen a store on the main street. Mu Yunyao alighted from the carriage, and a middle-aged man with stubble on his face walked up to welcome her. "Greetings, Miss."
Mu Yunyao’s footsteps slightly paused. After carefully looking at the man in front of her for a moment, a smile flashed through her eyes. "Aren’t you in Jiangnan? When did you come to the Capital?"
"In reply to Miss, I have nothing to do, so I might as well come over and take a look." The man was taken aback for a moment before he smiled, "Miss, please come in quickly. There are too many people outside so as not to collide with you."
This store was originally an elegant place. It took a lot of effort to build it, and the decorations were so elegant. However, it was not managed well, so the only thing they could do was to discard the entire store.
Mu Yunyao looked around before finding a chair to sit down. "I heard that you’ve collected a large amount of grain in Jiangnan again?"
The man stepped forward to pay his respects and lifted his hand to take off the thin mask on his face, revealing his true face. It was Qi Ming who had made a great effort in the salt tax case before: "Miss’s eyes are like torches, this servant thought that my disguise was flawless! Just like last year, this servant took advantage of the autumn harvest to buy a batch of grain, thinking that the weather is cold now, and Steward Qin may be able to use it."
Thinking about this time of year, it should be too cold in Western Guangdong, and ginger tea should also be prepared in advance.
Mu Yunyao’s lips couldn’t help but reveal a smile, "Well done."
"It was all taught by Young Miss."
Mu Yunyao thought for a moment before speaking, "How’s the situation at Yi Bao Xuan now?"
"To reply Miss, Yi Bao Xuan’s progress has not been smooth." Although under the meticulous arrangements of the young miss, he had successfully escaped from the salt tax case in Jiangnan, Yi Bao Xuan had been targeted. Thus, he did not dare to act rashly.
Mu Yunyao looked carefully at Qi Ming. "Since Yi Bao Xuan has already been targeted, then you can’t have anything to do with me anymore. Otherwise, Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo will also be affected. Qi Ming, I have something that I want to discuss with you. It might be dangerous. Are you willing to do it?"
Qi Ming quickly knelt down. "Based on Young Miss’s orders, this servant is willing to do her best for her."
"Get up. I don’t know what your relationship with Liu Liang is, but I believe that he won’t harm me, and I also believe in your loyalty." Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh. She said these words purely out of instinct. She didn’t know why, but she, who never trusts others credulously, actually trusted Liu Liang and the people he finds especially. "I want you to take Yi Bao Xuan to the First Prince."
Qi Ming raised his head, looked up, and his eyes filled with surprise, but he quickly answered, "Yes."
