Chapter 98 Urging Su Qing
After leaving from Cao Manor and returning to Niyunfang, Mu Yunyao was preoccupied in her thoughts.
Su Qing saw her troubled look, thinking that she was wronged in Cao Manor: "Yao’er, what happened?"
"Mother, today, Jin Furen called me over, saying that I should be careful else someone could secretly fight against us." Mu Yunyao did not intend to conceal this problem from Su Qing. By letting her mother know of these things so that she could be more prepared for anything that might happen.
"Yeah, we dug out the secrets that the Ding family had concealed for many years, and at the same time let those masters (daren) lose their faces. They should be angry at us now. What should we do? If not, we can just leave Jingling City!" Su Qing was badly flustered. Although there were many things she was reluctant to part with here, there was nothing more important than her Yao’er’s safety.
Mu Yunyao held her hand: "Mother, don’t worry too much. The problem is not that great to the extent of having to leave here. Me spreading the needlework to the public is a great achievement. Jin Furen has promised to secretly send someone to protect us. It is inevitable that there will be some slip up, thus it’s better if we also can be more careful. Next time when mother is going out, don’t go alone. Remember to take Liu Liang to protect you."
"Mother will remember it. I often stay in Niyunfang and rarely go out. But you, you often go to the Jinxiu Garden, you have to be more careful." Su Qing thought about it and couldn’t help but propose, "Yao’er, now that we have money on hand, just buy a few more people to let them protect us, Liu Liang alone can't protect us both all the time."
Mu Yunyao couldn't help but smile until her eyes curved: "Mother says it right. After this, I will let Liu Liang to look for some people. If there is any suitable candidates, I will buy them to protect us."
"Alright, that’s good."
"Mother, there’s another thing that needs to be discussed with you. At first, I thought Ding Furen (DYL) would be the shopkeeper of Niyunfan and she could take you to socialise with those ladies. But now Ding Furen had left due to the Ding family’s affairs. Jinxiu Park has finished with its renovation and the teahouse can be opened in a few more days, Niyunfang can only be left in your management."
Su Qing subconsciously shook her head: "No, no, I can't do it."
"Mother, now the status of Niyunfang is not ordinary. No one is stupid enough to make trouble here. If there are some matters that are unsatisfactory, those ladies will try their best to forgive you. You have to remain in contact with them. If the Su family comes later to take us back, we will have to go back to the imperial capital. At that time, those ladies can come to send us more respectfully, won’t our departure be more dignified?"
Su Qing bit her lips and her face showed how tangled she was feeling inside.
Mu Yunyao was distressed, but she had to force herself to be cruel: Originally, she wanted Ding Yuelan to slowly influence her mother. but now she can't find a suitable person to replace Ding Yuelan, so she can only force her mother to move forward.
The Su family is a place where one would be eaten without spitting bones. If her mother's temperament was not changed, she would only be an easy target to be bullied. Even if she protected her from time to time, it could not prevent others from picking up trouble with her, so it is essential that her mother becomes stronger.
