After Mu Yunyao woke up, Jinqiao reported the news to her,

"Miss, the first time Miss Su was lucky she was bestowed a concubine, she was the only one in the palace. Even the Imperial Concubine Zhen didn't have this sort of honor, and today, the world is in an uproar.

"

Mu Yunyao smiled with a calm expression.

"It's not certain if it's a blessing or a curse, just wait and see.

"

"What about six taels?

"

Very soon, six taels of light entered.

"Greetings, Master.

"

"Six taels of silver, what about the matter that I asked you to investigate?

"

"Reporting to Master, Prince Jin does not have many properties under his name, but in August, not long after you returned to the capital, he sent two of his aides to Jiangnan and got in touch with the salt merchant there.

"

"Jiangnan Salt Merchants?

" After the salt tax case earlier, Mu Yunyao used the salt merchant's property that she had secretly bought to silently send a portion of her people into the salt merchant's company. Yes, moreover, this subordinate investigated and found out that the Su Clan's second young miss, Su Jin, and her husband, Yang Lian, had already left for the capital. According to the calculations, they would arrive in four or five days, nominally to attend the wedding of the Su Clan's eldest young master, Su Qingwu.

There seems to be some problem with the tax.

"

"Yang Lian...

"I remember that Yang Lian is an envoy from two rivers and is at the third rank of official. He can be said to be a border envoy. Without the emperor's order, how could he leave the territory so easily?

"

"Yang Lian's achievements as an official are quite good. During the end of the year's official examination, he obtained an A grade, upper rank. The Emperor intended to transfer him to the capital, so he specifically ordered for him to return to the capital.

"

Mu Yunyao rubbed the space between her eyebrows.

"Because of my and mother's identity, many things were delayed. Now that I want to capture them, I actually feel like there's no place to start.

"

"Mistress, take your time. There's no need to rush.

"

Mu Yunyao carefully thought about it.

"Yang Lian is the investigator of two rivers and is related to the salt merchant, so it's hard to avoid people from thinking about the salt tax. However, with this case just now, those salt merchants shouldn't be so bold as to mess with the salt tax, right?

"

"Wealth comes from danger, that's not certain.

" With such huge benefits, he could do anything.

"Tell everyone to pay attention to the First Prince and the Li family. Li Mu Nian is the history of salt transportation in the Tomb City, so he can be of some use to us.

"

"Yes, miss.

" Mu Yunyao took a deep breath,

"Su Li and Lady Wang have talked about a son of the midwife who helped bring the Su Family's old madam back to her womb, and he is still missing. If we can find him, then we can bring him to me at all costs.

What exactly did they say?

"

"Yes, please rest assured Miss, this subordinate will immediately make the arrangements.

"

"Yes.

"

Not long after the two of them left, Jin Lan walked in and reported,

"Miss, we've come down from the King's Palace and are waiting for you in the front courtyard.

"

Thinking about King Yue, Mu Yunyao walked in front of the dressing table and opened the wooden box placed on top of it. She took out the laying rabbit hairpin that was stuck on her head and placed it inside, then took out the red envelope that King Yue had given her before and the written contract to repay her 10,000 taels of gold. She threw it into the charcoal brazier to burn it.

Jin Lan opened her mouth.

"Miss, those things …

"

Mu Yunyao looked at the two pieces of paper turning into ashes, and her eyes against the light of the fire blinked slightly.

"Let's go and see your highness the Winged King.

"

King Yue was waiting in the Flower Hall. After hearing the footsteps, he got up and looked at Mu Yunyao.

"Yunyao, I heard that Madam is sick. How's the situation now?

"

"Greetings to your highness King Yue. My mother just accidentally caught a cold, so it's not that serious. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness.

" Mu Yunyao curtsied as she greeted him, her eyes carrying a faint sense of alienation.

Sensing her attitude, King Yue's heart suddenly tightened,

"Yunyao, didn't we agree …

" Mu Yunyao indicated for Jin Lan and the others to withdraw, and walked straight to the seats at the side,

"My mother's identity was never made public, but just yesterday at the Lantern Feast, Su Li and Lady Wang made a ruckus. Grandmother has already made up her mind to recognize my mother.

I've become a niece and uncle.

"

Duke Yue's heart ached, and the Qi around his body went cold:

"Yun Yao ….

"

"Your Highness, being a hero is a waste of time and energy. You are someone who wants to accomplish great things. Don't waste too much time and energy on love.

" Mu Yunyao stared at Yuwai Wang, and when she saw his face turn white because of her words, her heart felt like it was being pierced by a steel needle. The pain she felt was bone-piercing, but there were some things …

Love was bound to be hard to achieve both ends. Grandmother had been searching for her mother for so many years. Even if it was for her elder, she couldn't be so selfish. The warmth in his eyes slowly faded and he returned to his cold and clear self,

"Yunyao, today, other than visiting the Madam, I have something else to tell you. The caravan that went to the northern border to do business with Servant Yun returned, and this trip took one and a half months.

"The harvest is quite bountiful, and I can earn close to 100,000 silver.

"

Mu Yunyao forcefully suppressed the pain in her heart. When she heard this, her eyes lit up,

"The first time I entered another country's business, the most important thing was to open up a business path, so the amount of profit isn't important. What's next is the main event.

"

Yue Yang nodded his head:

"That's right, this time the business expansion has been successful. We can sell the salt one by one. That's what a big boss would do.

"

Mu Yunyao personally held out a wooden box.

"Your Highness, there's 6 million taels of silver in here. It's enough for you to hold on for a while.

"

Yue Yang received the wooden box, and after opening it, he saw the neatly arranged banknotes inside. His fingertips moved slightly:

"You are really generous, aren't you afraid that I will go back on my words?

"

Mu Yunyao suddenly broke into a smile.

"Although I can't live together with you as a husband and wife, I'm still your junior. As an uncle who has to accomplish great things, you wouldn't be greedy for my money, right?

"

King Yue smiled and shook his head:

"Only you would dare to say that six million silver is a small amount. Don't worry, I will definitely not renege on the debt. I will pay you back double.

"

"Then I thank Your Highness.

"Oh yeah, Su Jin and Yang Lian are coming to the capital, do you know about this news?

"

"Yes, I already know. They will arrive in a few days. Why are you suddenly worried about this?

" Didn't any news come from the Envy Hall side? Prince Jin and the salt merchant have a relationship, and this Yang Lian has a relationship with the salt merchant, and they both have a relationship with the Su Clan. The embroidery workshop was destroyed by me, and most of the Su Clan was trampled on. Logically speaking, right now, Prince Jin should be …

However, the red envelope he sealed for me is twenty thousand silvers, and his way of doing things is rather magnanimous. When news was sent over from the same branch saying that the Jin Emperor still has the ability to stop the development of the Treasure House, no matter how you look at it, it was not normal.

"

"Your personality has always been sensitive. If you think there's a problem with it, then there's a 80 to 90% chance that it's really not right. I'll immediately send someone to investigate.

"
