Chapter 108 Lady Jin’s Visit
That night, Governor Zhang and the other officials of the Jinling City had all turned pale . They had sent out all their men to investigate the reason behind the fire at Niyunfang .
At that time, with so many people present, everyone could see the thick and heavy bronze lock on the entrance of the Niyunfang . Everyone was already discussing it, saying that someone had deliberately murdered Mu Yunyao . Not only did they set fire to it in the middle of the night, but they also even locked the door to prevent anyone from escaping .
Most of the citizens of Jingling City had benefited from the embroidery needling technique, so if they did not quickly investigate this matter, even the citizens would not agree!
The next morning, Lady Jin rushed over to Mu Yunyao's home . Su Qing had just finished cooking the Eight Treasures Rice for Mu Yanyao, and upon seeing Lady Jin, she immediately revealed a happy expression . Although it was a forced look, it was sincere: “Greetings, Lady Jin, I heard from Yao'er that you are inconvenient now, I have to trouble you to come all the way here, I thank Madam on behalf of Yao'er . ”
Lady Jin stepped forward and held Su Qing's hand . Her face was filled with pain and anxiety as she said: “Yunyao is intelligent and considerate . She has helped me a lot . When Yanyao gets into trouble, how could I not come to visit? Is Yunyao awake now? “
“She just woke up and wanted to eat Eight Treasures Rice . I just finished cooking and was about to deliver it to her!”
“That's great . I'll go take a look at Yunyao . ”
Mu Yunyao was leaning against the side of the bed, lost in thought, and upon hearing the footsteps at the door, she quickly put on a sweet smile and yelled coquettishly at the door: “Mother, is the Eight Treasures Rice ready? Your Yao’er is starving to death!
Su Qing smiled helplessly at Lady Jin . “Yao’er character has always been like this . I'm sorry for making fun of you . ”
Lady Jin was a little stunned . She never thought that Mu Yunyao, who was usually meticulous and thorough, would have such a childish time . Looking at the doting smile on Su Qing's face, she could not help but feel a little envious to Su Qing . If she had a daughter like Mu Yunyao, she would probably spoil her to the heavens as well . ,
Hearing Su Qing's voice, only then did Mu Yunyao realize that Lady Jin had also come . Her face immediately revealed an embarrassed expression, and she got up to get off the bed to pay her respects .
Lady Jin hurriedly entered the room and stopped Mu Yunyao: “Quickly lie down . Why are you still being courteous at this time? When I heard from Lord Cao that you were severely injured, and nearly fell from the sky, just hearing it caused my heart to jump in fear . You who experience it must have been terrified .
Mu Yunyao didn't force herself to get up either . “I've made Madam worried . I'm fine . I only suffered some superficial wounds, so I'll be fine while recuperating . ”
At this moment, her face was pale, and she wore a snow-white robe, making her look even more petite and slender . Her palm-sized face was so pale that it made one's heartache .
Lady Jin was holding her hands, which covered with a white cloth, and blood was seeping out from them . She looked pained as she said, “My family has an ointment to treat burns . If you use it for a while longer, the scar will be fade . When I return, I will pack it up and have Yin Hong send it over to you . At this moment, to think about anything at all . “I think, naturally, there will be people who will uphold justice for you in the other matters . ”
Mu Yunyao lowered her head slightly as the light in her eyes dimmed . “I wasn't able to find out who set the fire earlier, and now that it's in the middle of the night, I'm afraid it'll be hard to find a trace of it . ”
“Don't worry . Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground this time, we will find the murderer!” Lady Jin's tone was especially resolute .
Mu Yunyao nodded, and smiled gratefully to the Lady Jin, “Thank you, Madam . ”
“Recuperate well . I'm still waiting to wear the clothes you made!”
“Yes, for the sake of Madam, I need to heal my injuries as soon as possible . ”
“Rest well . I'll come to see you another day . ” Lady Jin stopped Mu Yunyao from getting up, and Su Qing sent her out .
Walking out of the courtyard and sitting in the carriage, Lady Jin had a pained expression on her face . Yin Hong, on the side, helped her to place the cushion on the headrest . Seeing her look, she couldn't help but say: “Madam has treated Miss Mu really well . ”
Lady Jin gently stroked his stomach, sighing with emotion . “That's also her worth . ”
Since the Cao Manor was the closest to Niyunfang, Governor Zhang, Su Qingwu, and a few of them had gathered there . Seeing that Lady Jin had returned, everyone's eyes filled with anxiety .
“Greetings, Lord Zhang . Greetings, Lord Su …”
“Madam, there is no need to be so courteous . I am sorry to bother you to come over so early in the morning . How is Miss Mu doing?” Governor Zhang was the first to ask .
Lady Jin's expression was solemn, she shook her head before saying anything: “Such a delicate and weak little girl like her went through a big fire in the middle of the night and almost fell down from the stairs . She shocked and frightened to the point that her life fell into half . The situation is really not good . ”
When Governor Zhang heard this, his expression became even more anxious . “I'll have to trouble Lady Jin to make another trip and find the best doctor in the entire Jingling City . I must ensure that Miss Mu is safe and sound!”
“Yes . It's just that Miss Mu's hands are severely injured . Originally, her hands were injured, but this time, she escaped down with the cloth rope . So her hands can't even be seen anymore . Even if she invited the best doctor in Jingling City, I'm afraid that she would also …” Lady Jin did not finish, but everyone present understood the meaning of her words .
Mu Yunyao was an expert in embroidery . Embroidery was a skill of the hand, so once her finger was injured, how could she ever hold up needle and thread in the future?
Governor Zhang was sweating anxiously, "Let's try our best to cure her . We can do whatever we can to get to the best of our abilities . "
Su Qingwu's expression did not change in the slightest, but the hand in his sleeve tightened, as the scene of Mu Yunyao falling from the top floor into his arms involuntarily appeared before his eyes .
His body was in a sorry state, his face was pale, and the crafty light in his eyes was exceptionally dim . When people looked at him, they couldn't help but feel their heartache .
Lord Zhang, Lord Cao, this matter must be reported to the Emperor . I hope the two lords can find out what happened as soon as possible . "
Please, rest assured Lord Su . We will investigate this as soon as possible . "
Just as he was speaking, an official who had sent out to investigate rushed in to report, "Reporting to the lords, we have found some clues . The bronze lock that locked on Niyunfang's door bought by someone from the Ding Family's shop . "
"Ding Family?" Governor Zhang immediately stood up, with an indescribable light in his eyes, "Speaking of which, the only one who has a conflict with Niyunfang in the recent time is Ding Family!"
Su Qingwu asked: "A conflict with Niyunfang? Who is this Ding Family? "
Governor Zhang immediately explained in detail what happened to Ding Family, and his tone faintly brought up the matters of Jingling Tongzhi and Xuanfu . Even though he did not say it clearly, everyone present understood what he meant!
Cao Yunnian did not say anything at the side . He and Jingling Tongzhi knew that there were no interactions between them, but he had a deep grudge with Zhou Xuan Fu . Now that he was on the same side as Governor Zhang and Governor Zhang wanted to use this opportunity to eliminate the other, he did not take the opportunity to add insult to injury .
Su Qingwu raised the teacup and took a sip . "Since Governor Zhang has a suspicious person, then we should investigate the truth as soon as possible . This way, we can give the Emperor an explanation . ”
Governor Zhang was overjoyed . Su Qingwu's attitude was equivalent to a tacit agreement with his thoughts, " I'll investigate as soon as possible . Within three days, I will definitely give Lord Su a result . "
After exiting the Main Hall, Lady Jin returned to the backyard, the smile in her eyes became even fuller .
"Madam, this servant heard that some clues had found?"
"Not only had found some clues, but it looks like It'll be able to conclude soon . "
"The Lord acts swiftly and decisively . I am truly impressed!"
"This time, it's not because of the Lord contribution . It's because of Lord Zhang's guidance . "
Lady Jin pursed her lips, her mood extremely good . Your Governor Zhang had said that he wanted to give Su Qingwu a result within three days, which also means that he must either investigate this matter clearly within three days and find out the real culprit, or else Jingling Tongzhi and Xuanfu would be the result he wanted to give . Moreover, Governor Zhang was more inclined to the second method . Without Xuanfu, the Lord's heart would be at ease .
