Chapter 34
Yang Shi’s back was covered in cold sweat .
“That frightened the living lights out of me, so much money……what would we have done if something had happened to us?” Yang Shi patted her chest continuously .
Mu Yunyao smiled . When she saw that Yang Shi was acting as per normal, she felt more relaxed . Money was capable of twisting people’s hearts, she had been afraid that Yang Shi would also start to have impure intentions towards them .
“Auntie, with the way that we are dressed, no one would ever think that we are holding so much silver . ”
“Aish, don’t say it out loud, what if someone hears you?”
“Alright, I got it . ”
When they reached the village, Mu Yunyao did not go back straight to her embroidery work . Instead, she called Yang Shi over and passed her two sheets of hundred silver . “Auntie, you and my Mother are good friends, these two sheets of silver is given with regards from my Mother . This is only for you, I hope that Auntie does not reject it . ”
(T/N: One sheet of that hundred silver is equivalent to a hundred silver . Mu Yunyao is giving Yang Shi two hundred silvers . )
“Little Yunyao, your Mother and I are similar in such a way that both of our Mother-in-laws dislike us . But I am luckier than your Mother . My Mother-in-law passed away early and I myself am treated quite well by the head of the family . So, when I saw how your Mother was being mistreated, I felt especially angry . Naturally, I like silver very much, but my present and future will go accordingly to how I am as a person . If I were to spend this silver, my heart will feel discomfort and regret . ”
Mu Yunyao froze . A sense of respect for Yang Shi appeared in her heart . Although Yang Shi was poor and ordinary, but she was even more beautiful than those wealthy fairies from the Su family . “Auntie, keep this silver in case of emergencies . If you have no use for it, you can just keep it somewhere . When Mother and I return, you can give the silver back to me . ”
“Return? You two are leaving?”
“When I finish the picture, we will be leaving this village . ”
“This……although the world outside is more peaceful than it was in the past, but it is still not safe . Where are you two going?”
“We will be going in the South direction, but we haven’t really planned out our route exactly . ”
“You should really consider it further……,” Yang Shi was worried . A young girl and a widow are especially susceptible to danger . It was lucky that Li Shi could no longer bully them, but if something were to happen to these two on their trip, it would be a tragedy .
Mu Yunyao persuaded Yang Shi for half a day before Yang Shi finally agreed to keep the silver . After sending her away, Mu Yunyao opened up the cloth, lit the candle to cast light on the entire room, and continued her work . Ten thousand silver, that was enough to last an ordinary person an entire lifetime . When they reach Jiangnan, it would be enough for her and her Mother to settle down .
(T/N: Jiangnan aka location at the South of the river . )
After finishing stitching on a dragon scale, Mu Yunyao raised a hand to lightly knock on her tense neck . She stared at her work as her mind wandered off .
The Su family was a wound in her heart that would never be able to heal . Just one light touch was enough to cause so much pain that she could feel it deep down in her bones . She hated them to the point that her heart bled . Now, she was far away from the Su family, but she could cause trouble for them using the very picture before her . This was just the appetiser .
Spring Embroidery had expanded from the Capital and then spread throughout the lands . On the surface, it looked just like an ordinary business, but if that were truly the case, it would have been gobbled up wholly a long time ago .
Only when did she become the concubine of Jin Wang, did she find out that Spring Embroidery was supported by the Su family and the Meng family . These two families also stood behind Jin Wang and thus Spring Embroidery naturally became a source of his income, allowing Jin Wang to become extremely powerful . If she was able to destroy Spring Embroidery, it would definitely serve as a big blow to the Su family, and also at the same time, cut off one of Jin Wang’s allies . This would be enough to hurt him deeply .
Now, she had nothing, so she was unable to control anything in the dark . She could only follow the Heaven’s will . Whether or not her plan will succeed will all depend on the Heavens .
