The Abnormal Yue Wang 


Eunuch Cheng brought food to the study in Yue Wang’s residence. “Wang Ye ...” Behind the table, Yue Wang was about to put down his brush. When he heard Eunuch Cheng’s words, he exerted some force, and it snapped, letting out a crisp sound.

Eunuch Cheng raised his head doubtfully. “Wang Ye, you’ve already been sitting in the study for the entire day. It’s time to eat something.”

“Got it.” Yue Wang carelessly tossed the broken brush to the side, and somewhat irritably. Then he closed the letter that Steward Qin sent over.

Eunuch Cheng sized up Yue Wang and discovered that even though there was no longer a crease between his eyebrows, his expression seemed to have grown more complicated. There was anxiety, unease, and even a hint of delight in his gaze. What did the old Qin write in the letter that makes Wang Ye shows such a look?

“Wang Ye, this servant saw you looked upset, but what did Old Qin say in the letter?”

Yue Wang just changed his brush, and when he heard these words, his hand snapped again. He expressionlessly threw the broken one to the side. “Who bought this set of brushes? It’s too terrible. I’ll deduct one month’s worth of his money from him. Just leave things alone. Uncle Cheng, you should go rest.”

Eunuch Cheng nodded, “Yes, Wang Ye.”

Leaving the study room, Eunuch Cheng passed on the words of Yue Wang.

Yu Heng couldn’t help but stare with wide eyes. “When I bought that batch of brushes, didn’t Master praise it for being easy to use? Why did he deducting our monthly allowance now?” It wasn’t easy for him to have a lot of money, and he still wanted to save it. Keep the money and use it when marrying his future wife!

Eunuch Cheng snorted, “If Wang Ye say it’s good, then it’s good. If he says it’s not good, then it’s definitely bad. Why are you say so many words? You should also learn from Yu Yi and see how much he knows about how to deal with matters.”

“Eunuch Cheng, Didn’t you said earlier that Yu Yi was wasting food?”

“When did I say that? I was talking about you!” Eunuch Cheng placed his hands behind his back and walked to his room after he finished speaking. He couldn’t help but laugh when he thought of Wang Ye’s expression just now.

Yes, it looks like it does! He needed to take care of the residence properly now. Who knows, maybe after a while, there would be a Mistress in here. Speaking of the Mistress, Miss Mu seemed to be young, but that didn’t matter. They should be married before he can nurture her!

Early morning the next day, Yue Wang called Yu Heng and Yu Yi over. “Out these two letters, one is for Steward Qin, the other is for Miss Mu Yunyao. Yu Yi, you have to hurry and send it over.”

“Yes, Master.”

Yue Wang nodded his head, his gaze sweeping across the letter that was about to be sent to Mu Yunyao, paused for a while, and then spoke again: “Yu Heng, immediately send people to wait at the border between Yuxi City and Western Guangdong. When they saw the caravan carrying tea to Yuxi City with my token, they must be protected until they arrive in Western Guangdong.”

“Yes, Master.” Yu Heng was puzzled. “Master, why did Steward Qin send some tea leaves here?” The food available in Western Guangdong was not much. The soldiers under Yue Wang’s command did not have much oil and water in their stomachs. The more they drank tea, the hungrier they became. They might as well send some food over.

Yue Wang frowned, his cold gaze sweeping across Yu Heng: “So, what’s wrong with Steward Qin sending me tea? Ben Wang thinks sending tea is good!”

Yu Heng taken aback and quickly saluted: “Yes, the subordinates also feel very good.”

Only then did Yue Wang nod his head, the coldness in his eyes had faded a little: “Go on.”

“Yes, Master.”

After everyone had left, Yue Wang carefully placed the letter that Steward Qin had delivered into the drawer under the table.

Liu Liang people worked very quickly. Besides, at the end of August, just after the autumn harvest ended, the grain was plentiful, and the price cheaper. Soon enough, the rice grains Mu Yunyao requested were bought and shipped to the other village where Steward Qin said.

Seeing the bags of grains fill up the warehouse, Steward Qin felt his heart heat up. Before, he had slowly rooted himself in Jiangnan and was considerably cautious in every move, afraid that he would attract the attention of others. He didn’t even dare to ship the grains to Western Guangdong. Now, Mu Yunyao used the name of fresh tea leaves. On the contrary, it did not attract any prying eyes.

Mu Yunyao got off the carriage and sized up the scenery around the Manor. She couldn’t help but feel disappointed. She thought that this place was as beautiful as Jin Xiu Garden. After arriving, she discovered that there are huge farmlands around the residence, and it only had a few courtyards, so it was slightly modest and humble.

Steward Qin saw that Mu Yunyao had arrived and hurriedly led people to greet her. “Greetings, Miss Mu.”

“There’s no need to be so polite, Steward Qin. Can the food be delivered?”

“I’ve already checked carefully, and there are no problems.”

“Alright, then let’s begin.”

Mu Yunyao carefully watched everything from polishing the rice noodles to the drying the vegetables and ginger. Afterward, she told the people in charge of frying about the things that should be paid attention to and watched them stir-fry some ginger tea. After confirming that there were no problems, she followed Steward Qin to the room in the side to rest.

“Thank you for specially coming, Miss.” From the start till now, he had already spent nearly four hours, and he felt tired just standing at the side, not to mention a little girl like Mu Yunyao.

“It’s nothing. If you don’t cook well, it will turn bad easily. I can feel rest assured after a special look. In the future, you must pay extra attention to it. Do not be greedy, lest you lose out.”

Steward Qin quickly nodded his head, “Please be at ease, Miss. I will definitely have someone to keep watch strictly.”

Mu Yunyao comes two more times and carefully examined the stir-fried ginger tea. After finding no problems with it, she relaxed and more focused on the matters of Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo. Because the new clothes had already customized, Mu Yunyao ordered people to prepare to make them. Currently, with the help of the female embroiderers, twenty sets of clothes are made in a short span of ten days. However, she still needed to personally make the clothes for the Governor’s wife and Lady Jin. She made clothes extremely fast and did not take a long time.

As soon as she had sent out the finished clothes, Lady Jin sent Yin Hong to inform her that the new batch of people who came to learn the embroidery needle technique had arrived. Naturally, the female embroiderers of Cai Yue Pavilion belonged to this group.

Mu Yunyao didn’t give any special treatment. She still told the first disciple to teach the female embroiderers first. To her surprise, Ding Yuelan actually took the initiative to teach the embroidery needle technique.

Mu Yunyao thought for a moment before happily agreeing. However, she was still worried that Lady Ding would be troubled by the rumors, so she hinted at them: “Madam, those people are all here to learn the embroidery needle technique. If there’s anyone who doesn’t sensible, directly throw them out, there’s no need to be angry with them.”

Ding Yuelan naturally understood the meaning of her words and was very touched in her heart: “Thank you, Miss Mu. Some things are good to hear, and when you hear it more, you will become numb. So, you might as well not care about it anymore.”

Looking at the smile on Ding Yuelan’s face, Mu Yunyao felt pity in her heart. Lady Ding, who was burning hot like fire and so fierce in the past, would probably not be able to come back, but whether she perished in the fire or reborn depended on her own choices. She could only sincerely hope that she would choose the latter ...!
