Chapter 39
Mu Yunyao relaxed . She was glad that her Mother did not persist . She glanced at Li Shi and said coldly, “Grandma, if you happen to be alive in a year and a half, you can look for me at the Capital . Who knows, you might meet someone who also wants to get revenge on me!”
“Yao Er, Yao Er, you can’t just abandon your Grandmother like that, your Father would be so upset……Yao Er, don’t go……Mu Yunyao you wretch! Die a painful death, die a painful death!”
Mu Yunyao walked forward by two steps before walking back to stand in front of her . “Ah, I almost forgot . Grandmother, Linjiang city is too close to Yan city, just to be safe, I must make sure that you do not speak a word . ”
“You……you, what are you going to do, don’t come near me, stay away……ah……”
Mu Yunyao threw away the knife that was coated with blood into a nearby bush . She stood up and arranged her clothing . “Grandmother, you deserved this . ”
“Ugh……ooh ooh……”
Mu Yunyao walked out of the forest and grabbed Su Qing’s arm . “Mother, let’s go, we have already done the best that we can afford to . ”
Su Qing nodded her head, “En . ”
The two of them slowly walked into the city . They were quite unnoticeable .
Going to the Capital Xiling by water from here would take two and a half days . The city had a very good location in which the water road extends in all directions, making it a very good gathering place for traders . Thus that place is a hodgepodge of both good and bad people .
It was also Mu Yunyao’s first time in Linjiang city . She found a middle-class inn and got a room . “Mother, go and get some rest . I will go downstairs and look for some food for us to eat . ”
“Yao Er, this is a foreign place, you……”
“Relax, Mother . Look at me, I don’t think anyone would want to come near me . Did you not see the innkeeper’s initial reaction? He clearly thought that we were beggars and nearly chased us out . ”
“Haaa, you’re getting more and more mischievous . ”
Mu Yunyao looked up and allowed Su Qing to pinch her face . She laughed in a silly manner and acted dumb . “Even if I’m naughty, I’m still your child . Too bad . ”
Su Qing laughed as she released Mu Yunyao . When she saw the light red marks on Mu Yunyao’s face, she gasped, “Child, why didn’t you say a word when Mother was pinching you? It must have hurt……” She had already known that Mu Yunyao’s skin was incredibly delicate and thus used minimum force . Yet, red marks still appeared on her face .
“It’s nothing, Mother . I didn’t even feel a thing,” Mu Yunyao said as she reached up and pinched her own face .
“You, ah, stop pinching yourself, stop . ”
Mu Yunyao smiled widely, “Mother, I’ll be going now . Wait here for me, don’t leave this room . ”
“Alright . ”
Mu Yunyao went down the stairs and walked out onto the street . She went to a little corner and squatted beside a little beggar . She grinned as she spoke to him . “Hey, you familiar with this place?”
The beggar was quite young, he seemed to be around 15 or 16 years old . When he heard her, he listlessly turned to Mu Yunyao . “Yeah, why?”
“Which boat company is most trusted here?”
“Why do you want to know? You won’t even be able to get on it anyway,” the little beggar looked at her with disdain . Just when he was about to turn away and ignore her, he saw Mu Yunyao take out 2 copper coins . The little beggar immediately sat upright and said enthusiastically, “The best company is the Zhou family’s . They have passenger ships, merchant ships, cargo ships, it’s just that they’re a little more on the expensive side . ”
Mu Yunyao threw the copper coins at him, stood up and walked towards the dock . She needed to get more information . The journey to Jiangnan was long . If anything happened while on the water, it would be very troublesome .
