BXBX NOVEL Chapter 121
"Since you\'ve already spoken, this matter will be much easier to handle. Jin Lan, show her the agreement signed between Ding Yue Lan and me at the Nebula Pavilion." "…" Mu Yunyao didn\'t plan on wasting her breath. "What contract?" The bawd looked at the object in Jin Lan\'s hand and her face turned pale. She rolled her eyes and sat on the ground while wailing, "My God, isn\'t this asking for my life?! I spent 10,000 taels of silver to buy her, yet she is now being forced into a corner …"
"If someone else were to snatch it away, how can I possibly live? It would be better for me to just knock my head against the wall and die here …"
Mu Yunyao didn\'t expect that the person who had been reasonable just a moment ago would suddenly act like a scoundrel, and instantly frowned.
If she had known earlier that Ding Yue Lan had signed a contract with the Nebula Pavilion, she would have happily received the ten thousand taels of silver last night. She blamed herself for listening to Lord Ding and Madam Ding\'s instigation to ruthlessly strike a line from Mu Yunyao. Many people who had been waiting at the entrance of the brocade garden and were preparing to go to the Unenviable Pavilion for a cup of tea gathered around. Upon hearing the news about Ding Yue Lan, they became even more interested. The Ding Clan\'s matters had long become the topic of discussion for the citizens of the Tombal Mountain City. Even now, they were still discussing and thinking that the people of the Ding Clan had already left …
After opening the Tombal Mountain City, he did not expect that Ding Yue Lan would be sold to the Ru Yi Pavilion!
The Ru Yi Pavilion was a brothel, and the grand and majestic Zhang Xuan had caused the downfall of his wife. If this news were to spread, wouldn\'t the whole of Ziling City be thrown into chaos? Mu Yunyao\'s expression turned cold when she heard the discussions around her. "I have nothing to do with how much you spent to buy her, but before the time agreed on in the book is up, she\'s the shopkeeper of the Nebula Market. If you continue to be entangled with her, then don\'t blame me for going against you!" With the written agreement in hand, he had even signed it …
"No matter what, she is the one who is in charge of everything before the Ru Yi Pavilion\'s contract." Miss Mu, you can easily make a dress worth a few thousand taels of silver, so you naturally don\'t know the hardships of us lowly people. I don\'t know how many guests our lady has to accompany to earn ten thousand taels of silver.
"It\'s over. Our Ru Yi Pavilion has collapsed. Besides, who would dare to learn the embroidery needle technique after a brothel owner like you …"
"How dare you!" A stern shout suddenly sounded out, interrupting the old procuress of the Ru Yi Pavilion.
The crowd suddenly parted, and Lady Jin slowly walked over with her silver red hands.
When the old procuress of the Ru Yi Pavilion saw Lady Jin, her expression changed and she hurriedly lowered her head.
Mu Yunyao stepped forward to support Lady Jin, silently hinting for her not to be angry. However, when she looked at the Brothel Keeper of the Ru Yi Hall, her expression had already turned completely cold. "Ding Yue Lan signed the agreement with the Nebula Market first, so she is the shopkeeper of the Nebula Market. If you are worried about the money you spent, go and sell her."
If you dare to continue pestering here and slander the reputation of the Nebula Pavilion, then don\'t blame me for being ruthless towards you. "
Ignoring the title that she had on her, it was easy for Cao YunNian to seal the Ru Yi Pavilion with his status!
"Yes, I know that I was wrong, and I don\'t dare to mess around anymore, please forgive me."
"Hurry up and leave!"
"Yes, yes, thank you Madam for your magnanimity." The old procuress of the Ru Yi Pavilion quickly took her people and left.
Mu Yunyao looked at her back as she left in a hurry, but the space between her eyebrows didn\'t loosen.
Seeing that her expression was off, Madam Jin thought that she was still thinking about what had just happened and comforted her. "Don\'t worry about her. It\'s just a matter of time before people start spreading rumors. It won\'t affect us too much."
"Mm, I understand. Madam\'s complexion looks much better today." Mu Yunyao naturally understood this logic, but she felt that things might not be as simple as they seemed. The old procuress of the Ru Yi Pavilion had just made a ruckus, and she felt that it was more like a joke.
When Su Qing accompanied Lady Jin for a walk in the garden, Mu Yunyao called over a few dozen silver taels. "Someone from the Ru Yi Pavilion has arrived today. I feel unease in my heart. Go and check with Lord Ding and Old Madam Ding to see if they have come into contact with anyone."
"Yes, Mistress."
Jin Lan brought over a cup of tea. Seeing Mu Yunyao lightly frown between her eyebrows, she carefully asked, "Miss, do you think there\'s a problem with this?" Mu Yunyao slightly nodded her head. "The old procuress of the Ru Yi Pavilion isn\'t stupid. No matter how beautiful Lady Ding is, she shouldn\'t have spent ten thousand silvers on someone. Moreover, after she discovered that we had the agreement signed by Lady Ding in our hands, her attitude changed too suddenly.
"He was so scared that he didn\'t dare retort and just turned around after saying that. No matter how you look at it, it seems like he\'s testing me."
"Test?" Let\'s just let the two of us check first. " No one knew if there would be anyone who would be unable to hold back and take action. Furthermore, she had secretly taken action in order to get the embroidery lady back then, locking down a Rainbow Moon Pavilion. It was hard to avoid the people from the Rainbow Moon Pavilion after such a long period of time … [Previous Chapter] [Table of Contents] [Next Chapter]
He would not find out about her, so it would not hurt to be extra careful.
He went to investigate, but after two days, he still could not find any clues.
Mu Yunyao wasn\'t too worried. There wasn\'t any reason for a person to guard against thieves every day. If there really was someone behind the Ru Yi Pavilion, then they would definitely make a move. She just needed to be careful when dealing with them.
These past few days, Mu Yunyao had been staring at the Neon Clouds Workshop as she looked at the \'not envious\' building. It was rare for her to be busy and take time off, so she brought Jin Lan and Jin Qiao out to stroll around the streets.
When they arrived on the street, they found a cheerful atmosphere everywhere, and suddenly there were quite a few stalls selling rabbit lamps and moon cakes.
Mu Yunyao thought for a moment and couldn\'t help but have a sudden understanding. "Tomorrow should be the Mid-Autumn Festival, right?"
"That\'s right young miss, you haven\'t mentioned it these past two days. This servant even thought you didn\'t like Mid-Autumn Festival."
"How could I not like being reunited in the middle of autumn?" It was just that this year\'s Mid-Autumn Festival only consisted of her and her mother. In the middle of autumn, Daddy would take her to Yan City to catch a big show. Many of the children had a rabbit lantern in their hands, but none of them looked as beautiful as the lantern in her hands. It was her father\'s own hands who had made the lamp for her, with long ears, a fat body, and red eyes.
Carrying a lantern as they walked, a few whiskers were trembling. It was unknown just how many children were envious of them.
"Miss, you like Bunny Hair Lamps. How about this servant buy one for you?" Jin Lan couldn\'t help but ask when she was lost in thought while looking at the lamp.
Mu Yunyao shook her head. "There\'s no need, just a look will do. Let\'s go."
In her heart, she was no longer a thirteen year old child. Even if she were to put on the rabbit lantern, she would not be able to find her usual pure and free self. Not to mention that the most beautiful lamp had already been imprinted into her mind. "Right." Jin Lan secretly looked at Mu Yunyao. She felt that there was an indescribable emotion on her body, as if she was sighing with emotion or reminiscing. It was so complicated that it was hard to tell them apart.
