Chapter 313

~ MU YUNYAO WHO KNEW HOW TO READ ONE’S EYES ~

When the Eldest Madam heard her say these words, her expression became especially gloomy . Mu Yunyao stated that she was righteous and strict, but she picked herself clean . She had a clear conscience, and the consequences are not the Su family’s responsibility?

“The sky is unpredictable . People have misfortunes and blessings . Anything can happen, but we can’t say for sure,” the Eldest Madam said as she looked at Wang Mama’s son .

Wang Mama’s son looked at the Eldest Madam with a bad-eyed look . He just wanted to lie on the ground and kneel to beg for forgiveness . He had always been a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong . Right now, he was already at a loss in his heart, but he knew that even if he were to kowtow and beg for mercy, it would be difficult to understand the situation . He might as well grit his teeth, persist until the end to cheat some silver first, and then talk about it later .

“Madam is kind . This little one is the son of Wang Mama . This little one doesn’t dare to go against the Su family, but because I feel that my mother wronged when she died . She’s fine and talking well when something suddenly happened, and so is Aunt Liu, who kicked out of the house with her, also gone . I only feel that it’s too coincidental …”

The Eldest Madam frowned . Since they had already reached this point, what could they do to stop them: “If that’s the case, then call the doctor over to investigate . However, if he is unable to find anything, then all of you must give the Su family an explanation!”

“What do you mean, Madam? We just said it like this because we don’t have silvers to bury them, so we came to the Su family to see if we could get a little something out of the way and let our mother’s funeral done respectfully . If Madam doesn’t want to care about that kind of favor, then forget it . My mother and Aunt Liu are servants of Su’s family . They have served the master of Su’s family conscientiously for more than ten years . We are also grateful to the Su family, so how can we betray our master? We are leaving now, and we will never cause the Su family any more trouble!”

Upon listening to these words, the Eldest Madam’s face suddenly turned pale . She was angry just now . When she heard what Mu Yunyao had said just now, she did not think twice before directly saying those words . She did not expect that Wang Mama’s son would be the one to stop her from saying those words, and he blocked it directly after a lot of mischiefs .

The Eldest Madam wanted to say something, but she saw Mu Yunyao walk in front of her with an uneasy expression on her face, “Eldest Aunt, don’t worry . I know that you must be thinking about the master and servant relationship from the past . After all, you have been very kind to your servants for so many years . Mo Yu, go and get two hundred taels of silver, and each family will give them one hundred taels so that they can properly arrange for the funeral of Wang Mama and Liu Mama . After all, the dead are the most important, so there is no need to continue tormenting them . ”

Mo Yu raised her head to look at the Eldest Madam’s face . She hesitated and didn’t know what to do . Si Qin took out two hundred taels of silver from her sleeves and handed them over to Mo Yu . She pushed her down the stairs, “Young Miss has ordered you . Why aren’t you going?”

Wang Mama’s son had bright eyes . A hundred taels of silver was an enormous sum of money to him . Not only was it enough for him to pay off his gambling debts, but it could also allow him to live a carefree life of a few years . He immediately stopped crying and kowtowed to the Su family . “Thank you very much … …”

Mu Yunyao smiled and said, “It’s all because of my Eldest Aunt who is thinking about her past affection . Thus, I won’t argue with you guys . Quickly go back and arrange your mother’s affairs . ”

“Yes, yes, thank you, Madam!”

With that, he called for his wife and children, carried the corpses, and walked away quickly .

The Eldest Madam was so angry that she could barely contain the anger in her eyes . She wanted to stop the man, but the man holding the banknotes left without looking back .

Mu Yunyao seemed to heave a sigh of relief . “Eldest Aunt, the matter has been resolved . Let’s hurry back to the residence . Today is a good day, and we shouldn’t disturb the celebration in residence for the sake of these people . ”

The Eldest Madam snapped her hand open . If it weren’t for the fact that there were so many commoners watching from a distance, she would have slapped Mu Yunyao’s face with her palm . After returning to the front courtyard, she could no longer suppress the anger in her heart, “Yunyao, why did you do this?”

“Aunt, why are you so angry? I followed your instructions to deal with the people who come to make trouble at the house entrance . Could it be that I’ve done something wrong?”

Looking at Mu Yunyao’s innocent expression, the Eldest Madam sneered, “Don’t think that I didn’t see through your naughty thoughts . You should know that you just directly sent him away with silver . Who knows, there might be a big problem in the future . ”

“Eldest Aunt’s words are strange . Didn’t you say that you should appease him as soon as you arrived? Didn’t these words mean that you want to turn a big matter into a small matter? Two hundred silver taels are nothing to me . If Aunt doesn’t want to go into the public accounts, then it’s all on my account . ”

“You …” The Eldest Madam didn’t know whether Mu Yunyao was really dull or just pretending to be stupid, but no matter what, there were still more important things to be done . She had to think of a way quickly to restore Yuyi’s reputation . As for the people who make trouble in residence today, they can have them clean up at any time . “In two days, it will be your grandfather’s death day . At this time of the year, the young ladies in residence had to copy the Buddhist scriptures and pray for blessings . Then, they will send it to the Baohua Temple for enshrinement . Since you are here in the Su family’s residence now, shouldn’t you make a few copies of the Buddhist scriptures to express your filial piety towards your grandfather?”

Mu Yunyao smiled as she nodded and replied, “Yes . Although I’ve never seen Grandfather, since the elder sisters and brothers in residence have copied them, I naturally have to copy them as well . ”

“That’s good . I’ll get someone to send you the Buddhist scripture that should be copied later . ”

“Then I’ll have to trouble Eldest Aunt . ” Mu Yunyao curtsied and bowed .

The Eldest Madam’s cold gaze swept across Mu Yunyao’s face, then she turned and strode away .

Mu Yunyao straightened her body and slowly walked back to Jiyue Pavilion . She turned around to look at Mo Yu . “Mo Yu, do you feel that following me wronged you?”

Mo Yu’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly kneeled down . “Mo Yu wouldn’t dare . ”

Mu Yunyao chuckled, “You say you don’t dare, instead of nothing . Then you really feel wronged?”

The voice that entered her ears was very gentle, even carrying a faint smile . However, when Mo Yu heard the voice, she shuddered for no reason . “Miss, this servant doesn’t feel wronged . Please look into it clearly . ”

“That’s all right . After all, you’ve been waiting at the Old Madam’s side . If you follow this lowly Young Miss Biao, you might not be willing to give up, but there are tens of thousands of paths in this world, and if you do not reach the end, no one will know which path will lead to the cliff . Mo Yu, what do you think?”

“Miss, this servant is stupid and only knows how to serve the master . I don’t dare to think about anything else . ”

Mu Yunyao smiled, “As long as the master you are talking about is me, I would rather you be stupid . Alright, you can leave now . ”

Mo Yu could only feel cold sweat dripping down her body . She raised her head and met Mu Yunyao’s eyes . She felt as if those eyes could pierce through people’s hearts, causing her to feel a chill run down her spine . “Yes …”
