Chapter 161

Yue Wang Who Will Not Prepare for the New Year Ceremony

When Mu Yunyao returned home, she ate a dumpling as if not enjoying them . This situation made Su Qing worry as well, thinking that something had happened .

"Yao'er, did you have an unpleasant conversation with that Master Ning? Or is it that he wants to take back the Jin Xiu Garden?

"

Mu Yunyao came back to her senses . Seeing the wrinkles on Su Qing's eyebrows, she hurriedly soothed Su Qing,

"Nothing much . Now that Jin Xiu Garden is in full swing and it has also helped him earn a lot of silver taels, why would he suddenly take the garden back?

"

"Then why does mother keep feeling that you have something on your mind?

" Before, when Fourth Master Ning was not here, you were happily playing with Jin Lan and the rest on the ice . Afterward, when you saw him, you looked as if you were preoccupied with something . Tell Mother the truth, that even if there is any difficulty, you must let us pass it together .

"

Looking at Su Qing's worried expression, Mu Yunyao had the impulse to reveal Yue Wang's identity, but she understood Su Qing's character . Once she knew who Yue Wang was, her action would reveal his identity and make things even more troublesome .

"Mother, don't worry . Actually, this isn't related to Fourth Master Ning . It was because I suddenly thought of the New Year's gift sent to the Capital . Tomorrow at the New Year's Eve banquet, the Emperor will see the New Year's gift . I don't know if he likes it or not?

"

Su Qing saw that her expression didn't seem fake and couldn't help but laugh .

"Don't worry . The New Year's gift that Mother saw you embroider stitch after stitch, it was without the slightest flaw . His Majesty will definitely like it .

"

Mu Yunyao nodded and acted as if she was relieved,

"That's good . With Mother's words, I'm relieved .

"

"And here I was wondering what it was that caused you to be worried . It turns out that you would be so concerned about gains and losses .

" Usually, she saw Yao'er had confidence in herself . But now, seeing her act so stubborn in such a small matter, she couldn't help but feel a sense of affection towards her .

"Isn't this an important matter? Naturally, I can't help but be worried .

"

"But now that things are settled, worrying about it is useless . Why bother finding trouble with yourself?

"

Mu Yunyao stared blankly for a moment before thinking back to what Su Qing had said . The large stone that was hanging in her heart returned to the ground gradually .

Regardless of the reason why Yue Wang came here this time, he had already come anyway, so his life experience could not be changed . If he really found out about something, then she only needed to think of a way to save it . Why worry about it in advance, it's not good for years to be disturbed?

"Yes, I understand . Thank you, Mother, for your guidance .

"

Su Qing tapped the center of her brows .

"If you understand, then please make your mother happy . It's the New Year, don't make a face . Otherwise, you'll have to worry for the rest of the year .

"

Mu Yunyao stood up and bowed like she was a proper person,

"Yes, I will follow the instructions of Mother .

"

After she thought it through, Mu Yunyao decided to forget about Yue Wang . After she woke up, it was New Year's Eve .

As soon as she got up, she felt a vast expanse of white outside the window . When she opened the window, she saw that the yard covered with a thick layer of snow, and the trees covered with white . When the wind blew, the snow fell, just like a pear blossom rain, she could not help but read out:

"Suddenly, it's like the spring breeze all night, thousands of trees and pear blossom . . .

"

Jin Qiao carried a basin of water and walked in with Jin Lan . Hearing Mu Yunyao's poem, she couldn't help but find it strange,

"Miss, when you went to rest at night, the snow started falling . It had been snowing all night, and it just stopped just now . Isn't there no pear blossoms to appreciate in this cold weather?

"

Mu Yunyao pointed out the window and turned around to look at her with a smile .

"Look at those trees . Do they look like they are full of pear blossoms?

"

Jin Qiao stretched out her neck to take a look,

"When the Young Miss says it, it really does look like it! Ah, so Miss was talking about the snow . I thought you were talking about the spring scenery while listening to the spring breeze and the pear blossom!

"

Mu Yunyao smiled and looked at the snow in the courtyard . She couldn't help but feel a bit interested,

"How about we call Jin Pei and the others over later, and we can make a snowman in the courtyard?

"

"Alright, it's not easy in Jiangnan to see such heavy snow . This servant will help as well .

"

"Okay, then we'll pile up the snowman in the front yard . When the night is over, we'll put out firecrackers and enjoy the fireworks . If there's a snowman, we can also go along with the scenery .

"

"Alright, we’ll listen to Young Miss .

"

After Mu Yunyao finished her breakfast, she told Su Qing that she would be bringing people to the front yard . She picked up a shovel, dustpan, broom, and the like to piled up the snow .

Nan'er, Ah Mao, and Li'er were all dressed in plump clothes, and they go back and forth in the snow to help them . They accidentally fell like a rolling gourd, but they didn't mind . They got up and let out a series of laughter .

Mu Yunyao originally wanted to help but was stopped by Jin Lan and Jin Qiao, who placed thick gloves on her hand and ordered her to stand at the side . At first, she was quite interested in being the commander . However, after seeing that she wasn't as fast as Jin Lan and the others, she couldn't help kicking the snow with some boredom .

Nearby, Nan'er and Ah Mao were chasing each other as they played snowball . She couldn't help but bends down to make a ball and then threw it towards Jin Lan . But she didn't expect her clothes to be so heavy and she was not sure when she threw it . With great strength, the snowball flew high above Jin Lan's head and slammed straight out .

Steward Qin followed Yue Wang to the Su residence . As soon as he entered the front yard, he saw that everyone gathered together to make a snowman . He could not help but sigh:

"It's been a long time since we've seen such a lively scene .

" Yue Wang's gaze passed through the crowd and landed on Mu Yunyao . She wore a snow-white cloak, her black hair was like ink, and her eyes were like stars . She bent down with a ball of snow in her hand, and the corners of her lips smile cunningly . It suddenly reminded him of the Snow Fox on the ice field in Western Guangdong . It rumored that those Snow Fox were exceptionally spiritual . If one was able to cultivate their Taoism, they could transform into a human form to enchanted everyone . If the rumors were true, then the Snow Fox that had taken human form was probably the same as Mu Yunyao . Just as he lost in thought, he saw Mu Yunyao's snowball throw towards him . The bright smile on her face was even more touching than the surrounding ice and snow . He couldn't help but reach out to catch it . Ice and snow melted in his palm, carrying a bone-piercing coldness . However, when he looked at Mu Yunyao's smile, he felt a slight warmth in his heart .

When Mu Yunyao saw the snowball fall into Yue Wang's hands, she was shocked and hurriedly went forward to pay her respects .

"Greetings, Fourth Master Ning .

"

Yue Wang regained his senses . The snowballs in his hands had already melted quite a bit . Seeing that Mu Yunyao was staring at his hands, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand to pass the snowball over .

"Here .

"

Mu Yunyao hurriedly took off her gloves and was about to go forward to catch it when she saw Yue Wang retract his hand . She slightly frowned in disapproval .

"The weather is cold, so you shouldn't be greedy while playing with the snow .

"

Mu Yunyao stunned for a moment . She saw that his gaze fixated on the rabbit leather gloves in her embrace . She stiffly wore the gloves on her hands before stepping forward to pick up the snowballs with her hands .

Yue Wang stretched his eyebrows . When he saw her that her two hands holding onto each other, he thought in his heart, the people in front of him were still more like mandarin duck cat . The Snow Fox had always been crafty . It would definitely not be stupid enough to pick up the snowball directly with their hand . Steward Qin was grinning from ear to ear . He felt that in another two years, he might be able to serve his Young Master .
