Chapter 68
Liu Liang coldly sheathed his sword . Without making a sound, he turned and walked out the door and stood guard . However, he glanced to the corner of his eye and saw Mu Yunyao, who was laughing till her face was slightly red . He discovered that a person could actually look good even when they are laughing .
Mu Yunyao laughed for a while longer . She used a finger to wipe away her tears and saw Su Qing entering the room worriedly, “Yao Er, have you heard about it?”
“Hm? Heard about what?”
“About Spring Embroidery,” Su Qing could not stop her anxiety . “I just heard from Jin Lan and Jin Qiao that Spring Embroidery colluded with the kingdom’s enemy but was found out . ”
“Colluding with the kingdom’s enemy……what a sin……,” Mu Yunyao raised an eyebrow . This was indeed the Su family’s style .
Seeing that Mu Yunyao still looked very happy, Su Qing got increasingly anxious and closed the door . Then, she said quietly, “Yao Er, haven’t you thought more deeply about it? I heard that Spring Embroidery was thoroughly investigated, and it wasn’t anything to do with ‘colluding with the kingdom’s enemy’! Apparently, it was because a problem came up with the present that they had presented to the Emperor for his birthday, causing the Emperor to become furious! I also heard that that very present was a screen……”
Seeing that Su Qing had started to sweat, Mu Yunyao quickly helped her to a chair . “Mother, do not worry, the law is fair . Even if it has something to do with the royal family, if they wanted to punish someone, they would need evidence . The thread and cloth were all provided by Spring Embroidery, I was only in charge with the making of the picture . Additionally, the picture had to pass through many hands before it ended up at the Capital . Anything could have happened . ”
“But what if someone had been framed?”
“If they want to frame anyone, they would have to frame a useful person . I am just a nobody, they could just hire people to go after me and everything would be dealt with . Why would they use the law on me?” Before she had sent away the picture, she had already thought about all the possibilities, even the worst case scenario that she might be found and questioned . However, she was confident that she could escape it in one piece .
“Yes, that makes sense . ” Su Qing felt a little relieved .
“Mother, you really don’t have to worry, since we have already received the news, it must mean that the case has already been closed . ”
The Su family was very quick in their actions . Although the head of the Su family Su Wenyuan was very clever, after so many years, he must have many enemies who wish for his downfall . Also, Spring Embroidery is a big piece of juicy meat, since there was a chance to bite into it, those who hate him would not give up this chance .
And now, Spring Embroidery had shut down and still no one had come looking for her . So, she was safe .
After calming Su Qing down, Mu Yunyao went to look at the students’ progress . After checking on all of them, she secretly nodded in satisfaction: Everything was in place . All she had to do was wait for the last ingredient .
At the same time, Colour Moon Shop’s shopkeeper had left the Su residence . The more he thought about it, the angrier he got . How dare a mere little girl like her be so insufferable! He will definitely get his revenge .
As he got lost in his revenge plot, he did not notice the number of gazes upon him increasing . Many people were pointing him and covering their mouths while laughing .
A servant kept glancing at him numerous times . He could stand it no longer and finally said, “Shopkeeper, your eyebrow……”
Colour Moon Shop’s shopkeeper was even more unhappy . Whenever he got angry, his eyebrow would move up and down uncontrollably . After he became the shopkeeper, he felt that that was quite embarrassing and tried to control it many times . But he failed . Thus, he especially hated it when anyone commented on his eyebrow . “What about my eyebrow?”
“Shopkeeper, did you not notice? Your left eyebrow is gone!”
