Chapter 105 – Alright, Let’s See How Deep It Is
Returning to Niyunfang, Su Qing did not notice anything unusual about Mu Yunyao . She happily listened to Mu Yunyao's narration of the scene when she received the imperial edict . "Yao`er, the emperor rewarded you with so many things . When will they be delivered?"
"It's getting late already, so I'm afraid it won't be today . It'll probably be delivered tomorrow morning . Don't worry, mother . No one dares to forget those rewards . "
"Alright, alright . " Su Qing walked back and forth excitedly for a while before bringing Si Qin and the others to continue arranging the rooms for the Emperor's reward that was bestowed upon them .
The moment Su Qing left, the smile on Mu Yunyao's face immediately disappeared .
Jin Lan served some tea and asked carefully, "Miss, your expression doesn't look too good . Do you want me to call a doctor for you?"
"I'm fine . You guys go down first . "
When she was the only one left in the room, Mu Yunyao stretched out her palm and checked the wound on it . The moment she saw Su Qingwu in the Governor's Manor, she had already mentally prepared for the worst .
She was worried that Su Qingwu had come here this time for the sake of the magnificent embroidery screen, but at the same time, she was also afraid that Su Qingwu would try to test her with her embroidery . Thus, when she knelt on the ground, she stealthily used the golden needle that she carried with her to cut her palm . Fortunately, the time taken for reading the imperial edict was very long . Everyone was squatting, so she had time to handle the wound on her hand so well that it did not look like a new scratch .
However, the results were still insignificant, and she hadn't controlled her emotions before, she was skeptical . After all, this is the grandson who had high hopes from the Su family . He was so smart and had high intelligence, and the Emperor has praised him as well .
Mu Yunyao frowned . Just now on Jinling Bridge, he was the first to mention embroidery, so it was likely that he was trying to sound out the situation . He definitely wouldn't give up after he went around it, and would even use some tricks .
"It's better to be the first to strike …" Mu Yunyao muttered softly . She held her forehead slightly as her thoughts quickly ran through her head . In the end, she lifted the corner of her lips slightly . "Since we've already met, we might as well test the depth in advance . It's only a matter of time before we start fighting . "
The next morning, Mu Yunyao and Su Qing packed up and waited downstairs . An hour later, Jin Lan ran over with a face full of smiles . "Miss, the Emperor's reward is here . "
Su Qing couldn't help but clench Mu Yunyao's hand tightly . "Yao`er …"
Mu Yunyao soothingly patted the back of her hand and gave her a warm smile . "Mother, don't be excited . This reward won't escape . "
"Miss Mu, the emperor's reward has been delivered . " Su Qingwu stared at the signboard on the Niyunfang, and a hint of amazement flashed through his eyes, this was indeed a good calligraphy .
"Greetings, Lord Su . " Mu Yunyao didn't think that Su Qingwu would personally send the reward . After knitting her brows, she immediately understood . He still wanted to test her, and since that was the case, she might as well resolve this matter as she wanted .
Su Qingwu looked up at the signboard . He noticed Mu Yunyao from the corner of his eyes . When seeing her expression, his thoughts changed slightly . Indeed, yesterday it was not his imagination that this Miss Mu was hostile towards him .
Mu Yunyao and Su Qing, along with the people from Niyunfang, bowed and thanked the Emperor for his kindness before bringing the rewards into the room .
Su Qingwu stared at Niyunfang with interest, especially towards the two water lotuses in the hall . The lotus leaves were dark green, the lotus flowers were pink, and the golden-red carp weaved through them, which was giving a sense of vitality and overall it looked lively .
After making up her mind to fight with Su Qingwu, Mu Yunyao no longer deliberately hid her intentions "If Lord Su likes these two water lotuses, I can give them to you as a thank you gift . "
"Seeing that they are so meticulously taken care of, it is likely that they are the girl's beloved possessions . If a gentleman doesn't want something from another, it is better not to do so . "
"I don't like them . It only has taken care to please the ladies who like lotuses . "
Su Qingwu was quite surprised, the lotus flowers, especially water lotuses, were particularly pleasing to the eyes . Few girls would not like them, and even if they didn't like them, they wouldn't say so straightforwardly . "What does Miss like?"
"Naturally, I like silver taels when I open up the Embroidery Workshop . " Mu Yunyao knew that this young master before her had an arrogant and aloof personality . It would make him uncomfortable to hear her say that she liked the money so bluntly .
Sure enough, Su Qingwu's expression didn't change, but a trace of unhappiness flashed through his eyes .
"It's quite rare for Miss Mu to be so straightforward . " Su Qingwu sized up Mu Yunyao . The young girl in front of him had snow-white skin, flowing lips, and a pair of exquisite brows . She also had a sweet smile on her face, which occasionally flashed with light . If he did not just find her frown, he would think she welcomed him .
"If you don't even dare to speak, isn't it a bit too depressing to live as long as you don't do anything? Moreover, who wouldn't like the money?" Mu Yunyao's words were full of sarcasm, but her smile was flawless, "What does Lord Su think?"
Su Qingwu glanced at Mu Yunyao's face . He was convinced in his heart that she had real hatred towards him, but he didn't know from where this hatred came .
"I've just arrived at Jingling City for the first time and want to go out for a stroll around here . I'm not familiar with the roads here, so I wonder if Miss Mu would be able to give me a few pointers?"
"Lord Su is making things difficult for me . Although I'm just a commoner, my mother is strict with me . I'm in my prime, so I might as well not accompany you out for a trip . Please, think about my reputation when you return . " Su Qingwu paused for a moment, and then, a glint of interest flashed through his eyes . "I was careless . However, Miss Mu is not too old yet, and I have a follower by my side . Do you still want to go?"
Mu Yunyao naturally knows that it doesn't get in the way, but she still deliberately blamed him . Who told Su Qingwu to receive the Emperor's praise a few years later, and in one full swoop, he became the role model of etiquette that the entire Xiling's capital would try to imitate . If the rumours of him rashly inviting a woman in the future spread, who knew what sort of expression he would have .
"I was overthinking about it . Since that's the case, I'll inform my mother and accompany Lord Su on a stroll . "
Su Qingwu nodded and watched Mu Yunyao went upstairs . The smile in his eyes slowly disappeared and was covered by a faint layer of cold light .
Mu Yunyao told Su Qing about this and then slowly changed her clothes before bringing Jin Lan and Jin Qiao downstairs .
Su Qingwu was seated at a table, looking the passerby by the door with a faint smile on his lips .
"Lord Su, I've made you wait for a long time . It's all my fault for being careless for the moment . I also forgot to ask the maid to serve you tea . This …"
"It's fine . " Su Qingwu was already unhappy in his heart . However, his personality prevented him from revealing anything . When seeing Mu Yunyao, who had changed her clothes, he became absent-minded . A look of surprise flashed past his eye, and his anger also dissipated .
She wore an ancient jade-green smoke pattern on her upper body and a pleated moon-shaped skirt . She also wore a bristly pearl hairpin . She had a beautiful and sweet smile as if there were hundreds of flowers blooming on her face . She already possessed such elegance at such a young age . If she were to grow up, what kind of beauty would she have?
"Thank you, Lord Su, for not giving it any thought . If that's the case, then let's go . Right now, it's the perfect time to go on the streets . "
Su Qingwu suppressed the strange expression in his eyes and followed Mu Yunyao's footsteps . Along the way, many women greeted Mu Yunyao intimately . After all, they had learned their embroidery techniques from her . Although they didn't have the title of master or disciple, they still had to show their gratitude and respect .
Mu Yunyao responded bit by bit, even stopping from time to time to admire the embroidery on the stalls . Her expression was especially relaxed .
Su Qingwu followed behind her at a leisurely pace, as if he was the one accompanying Mu Yunyao .
After strolling for a while, Mu Yunyao seemed to have suddenly remembered that she still had Su Qingwu beside her . She picked up an embroidered piece and asked: "Lord Su, what do you think about this piece of embroidered sweat cloth?" "It was a man's towel with a clump of orchids embroidered on the corner . It was very vivid and expressive .
"Having seen Miss Mu's embroidery craftsmanship, I feel that this piece of embroidery is quite ordinary" .
