Chapter 97.26
"To tell you the truth, Madam, my guess is not accurate, but when I helped you change your clothes that day, I accidentally brushed against your wrist and discovered that the cold air in your body was stagnant. It must be because you've taken something you shouldn't have, and the age that you've taken isn't short, which is also why you haven't had children for so many years.
There were some things on his clothes that were not too clean … You probably didn't bring it on your own accord. "
Ding Yuelan's lips trembled. After a long while, she finally opened her mouth: "... Can you tell me what is not quite clean on my clothes? "
"It smells like lilac in your purse, but in reality, it's mixed with the sage grass. Your clothes also have traces of having been dipped in the sand-grass juice. If it goes on for too long, it will damage your longevity."
"I've thought about their vicious hearts, but I never expected them to be ruthless to such an extent!"
Mu Yunyao quietly sat with Ding Yuelan for nearly an hour before she stopped crying. Her expression gradually became determined. "Miss, is the contract you gave me still valid?"
"Of course it's counting." Mu Yunyao took out the contract and spread it out in front of Ding Yuelan. She then went to the side and took a pen and ink, "I've already pressed the hand seal, so you only need to sign your name."
She took a deep breath and slightly pursed her lips. She picked up a brush and quickly wrote the three words, "Ding Yuelan". The words were not written in calligraphy or calligraphy, but rather, it was written in calligraphy.
"Ding Yuelan... It's as you say. Madam's words are so plain, it's really amazing! "
"In front of you, I'm just making a fool of myself. I heard Mistress Su say that the three words Niyunfang came from your hands." Mu Yunyao laughed softly. When she saw a crack appear in the melancholy in Ding Yuelan's eyes, she couldn't help but loosen her heart slightly. She really didn't want to see such a proud and aloof girl being trapped by love and ended up ruining her life, "The two of us shouldn't flatter each other.
"If you cry a little more, go to the counter and work."
Ding Yuelan was stunned, but then she burst out laughing, "With our little boss's attitude, we will be able to make a fortune very soon."
"If you can really earn that much money, I will generously make you a hundred sets of clothes for Manager Ding. I will let you wear them every day to make you look even better and stun the entire Jingling City!"
"Then I'll thank Little Boss in advance here."
Mu Yunyao's eyes curved into a smile. She was considerate when she went out, so she closed the door.
After sitting quietly for a while, she let out a bitter laugh. She didn't know if her injuries were too severe, but she didn't feel as bad as she had imagined. She decided to wash herself in the basin and go to the counter to calculate.
For the next few days, Ding Yuelan did not come back, but news about Ding Yuelan and Zhou Xuanzhao and He Li spread like wildfire.
Ding Yuelan didn't seem to care at all. Even if someone was pointing at her from the entrance of Niyunfang, she would pretend not to see them. After arranging the accounts, she started learning embroidery from Mu Yunyao. Not to mention that although she had an unrestrained personality, she was exceptionally talented in embroidery. Adding to that, when she was in her room, she had asked someone to specially teach her. Under Mu Yunyao's guidance, her progress was very fast.
He pushed it down.
Mu Yunyao looked at the clothes in Ding Yuelan's hands and sighed, "If I had known that Manager Ding would be so skilled, I wouldn't have sold you the clothes I used to look at while riding on horseback!"
"Little Boss really likes to tease people. Although I embroidered the clothes, the patterns were from your hands. If I were to weave the patterns myself, a butterfly can weave into a crab." There was a smile on Ding Yuelan's face. She looked gorgeous. When she smiled, her eyes were even brighter and more spirited.
Jin Lan and Jin Qiao snickered on the side. Her embroidery skills were indeed excellent, but that was on the premise that she could embroider the butterfly into a crab if she didn't have a flowery appearance.
"Then when you were embroidering the butterfly, wouldn't it be fine if you only thought of embroidering crabs?" When they got along, Mu Yunyao really did like her straightforward personality. As a result, she didn't have to worry so much when talking, causing the entire Niyunfang to be filled with laughter.
While he was talking, a commotion suddenly came from outside the door, followed by a knock on the door.
As if she had a premonition, the smile on her face gradually disappeared.
Mu Yunyao shot a look at him.
He nodded and opened the door.
Xuanzhao Zhou Ao was dressed in a dark green robe with a jade crown on his head. He was handsome and had a graceful bearing. It was impossible to tell that he was a military official.
Ding Yuelan stood up and fixed her sleeves and skirt before turning around to face Mu Yunyao. "Little Boss, I want to see him alone to settle this matter."
Mu Yunyao nodded. "We're all upstairs. If there's anything you need, just let me know."
"Many thanks, Little Boss."
Mu Yunyao led the others upstairs and indicated towards Liu Liang at the foot of the stairs.
He then nodded his head and stood at the top of the stairs while holding his sword. If anything happened, he could easily protect his opponent.
Seeing Mu Yunyao walk up, Su Qing put down the embroidery in her hands. With a puzzled look on her face, she asked, "Yao`er, aren't you sewing downstairs?"
"Sir Zhou Xuan Fu has arrived. He is meeting Manager Ding. Since it is inconvenient for us to be present, we have all come."
"This... Could it be that Lord Zhou is bullying Manager Ding? " Su Qing could not help but worry. After arriving at Jingling City, she was not familiar with the place. Although she greeted the ladies, there was still a huge gap between their positions and their friendship floated on the surface. Ding Yuelan was her first friend since arriving in Jingling City. She and the Yang family had a good relationship back at Shi An Village, but many things could not be discussed with the Yang family. Moreover, when she was together with Yuelan, there was always a feeling that they understood each other, even if they didn't say anything.
Close and yearning.
"Don't worry mother, Manager Ding's way of speaking is very methodical. If you are not confident, you would not go to Lord Zhou alone."
"Sigh, let's hope so. I truly don't understand. How come that Lord Zhou doesn't know how to cherish such a good woman?"
Mu Yunyao smiled and didn't speak. There were many times when she couldn't understand it, but she had to admit that people were different. For example, the Eldest Miss of the Su family. She recited poems and painted. That was called being talented, and she also learned along with them, which was called being mediocre …
With looks, only then would people pay attention to your talent and character. In his previous life, if she had not lost her leg and instead lost her face, she would have probably turned into a pile of dirt in a dark corner of the Su family estate. Ding Yuelan chatted for nearly an hour, but Mu Yunyao couldn't stop herself from worrying. Just as she was about to call in Liu Liang to ask, she suddenly heard a splash from downstairs. She hurriedly opened the door and ran out.
