Chapter 35
Zhang Caizhu’s crimes reached the Emperor’s ears, causing the Emperor to become enraged . He ordered for the immediate death of Zhang Yongan . The victims’ family members gathered outside the city walls and kowtowed in thanks for the Emperor’s kindness . Magistrate Liu, who was in charge of this case, was rewarded by the Emperor . Although he did not promote, but it would not be long before he does .
Mu Yunyao and her Mother was not mentioned at all throughout . The general public was only told that a few other women nearly became Zhang Yongan’s victims . However, Li Shi became infamous . The news that two men over the age of fifty fought each other to win over Li Shi was good material for gossip amongst the public .
Looks like she had to find a chance to thank Coroner Liu . The fact that she and her Mother’s names were not mentioned at all was thanks to him .
“Yao Er, what are you thinking? You look so focused . ”
“Mother,” Mu Yunyao came back to her senses and immediately put on a sweet smile . “It’s nothing, I was just thinking that we will soon be able to see the scenery down at Jiangnan . I feel really happy!”
“Jiangnan……since Yao Er likes it, we will definitely go . But your Grandma she……”
“We will just bring her along . ” Of course she had to bring her along, after all, she is a filial granddaughter . She must not let her own reputation go to ruin . As for where she would throw Li Shi to, that has not been confirmed .
“En, that’s alright . ”
“Mother, what type of clothes do you like? We have some money now . I will buy anything that Mother likes . ”
“You ah, the fact that you are here is already enough . Everything else is not important . ” Su Qing was already extremely satisfied with everything . She just wanted to live a peaceful life with Mu Yunyao .
Mu Yunyao whined at Su Qing, “Mother, Yao Er’s shoulders are aching, I want Mother to massage me . ”
“Alright, Mother will help you . ”
Mu Yunyao lay in Su Qing’s embrace . She felt a comfortable strength on her shoulders . Mu Yunyao slowly fell asleep, the smile on her lips never disappeared .
In Xingsheng restaurant, sat Yue Wang, whose injuries had mostly healed . He asked coldly, “Has the dagger been replaced?”
“Yes, Master, an exact replica had been made, the only difference is that your mark is not on it . ” Although that dagger did not have Yue Wang’s special sign, but that mark was carved in by him when he was bored . If that dagger ended up in an enemy’s hands, they might get into some trouble .
“To the village . ”
“Master, Yue Xi sent a message for you to return quickly . ”
Yue Wang furrowed his eyebrows . That little girl caused so much trouble for him, causing him to have no choice but to stay in Yan City . He even had to think of a way to clear up the aftermath of her situation . Not getting revenge on her was not like him . “A few couple of hours should not be a problem . ”
“Master, the Emperor’s birthday is in two months . After that, coming back here to get our revenge would lead to the same results . But now, there are much more urgent matters to attend to, we should really return immediately,” His guard persuaded .
“Fine, then . ” Two months would not be enough for that troublesome thing to escape from him .
Mu Yunyao was unaware that she had just gotten out of danger . She was currently concentrating on her embroidery . Yang Shi was no longer stitching handkerchiefs . Every day, she would cook for them and help Su Qing to cut the thread .
On a particular day, Mu Yunyao did her last stroke and wriggled her sore fingers and wrists . She sighed heavily, “Done, finally done!”
Yang Shi quickly placed a white cloth on the bed and placed her masterpiece onto it with the help of Su Qing . She marvelled at the picture, “No matter how many times I look at it, I still find it hard to believe that this was sewn out by mere thread . It’s so beautiful, words are just not enough to describe it . ”
