Mu Yunyao was peacefully recuperating at home, but the whole of Tomb City was in an uproar.
All the Ding Family stores were sealed off. It was only when many citizens asked, did they realize that the fire at the Nebula Market was most likely set by the Ding Family. At this moment, the commoners no longer had any good feelings towards the Ding Clan. All of them were proclaiming that they should severely punish the Ding Clan in order to give an explanation to Lady Mu.
The Ding family members were captured and imprisoned. After a short interrogation, they were ordered by the Mausoleum of Books to spread their information. Only then did they grow up with the guts to set Nebula Market on fire.
The moment he said this, the entire city went into an uproar.
Gesun and Scholar Fu had a good reputation outside, and many citizens had supported them. Now that they had heard that they were the ones who instigated the fire at the Nebula Market, many people wondered if there was something wrong with the investigation.
Following that, Patron Zhang publicly interrogated the two of them and quite a few people were led to the yamen's entrance to listen to the interrogation.
The two of them did not admit that they burned down the neon city square, but after some investigation, they found out other unbelievable secrets.
Ziling knew to use power for personal gain, embezzlement of river bank silver by more than two hundred thousand, and his wife Ding Yuexin to flirt with Shangguan, to help him hide the evidence, gang with the dirt.
Upon hearing this news, Xuanzhao and Ziling both fell into a state of chaos. It was only with great difficulty that Zhang Xianfeng managed to keep up the situation.
The news that came out later was even more shocking. Ding Yue was actually intimate with five men at the same time. The reason the Ding Clan was able to rise to such heights so quickly was all because of her taking off her skirt.
Suddenly, the people of the Ding Clan started shouting and attacked. Even the daughters of Ding Clan members such as Ding Yinglan were affected and their reputation was ruined.
Regardless of whether or not the great fire was set by them, the Mausoleum of Books and the Announcement never had a chance to make a comeback again.
Su Qingwu had written down what had happened in the Tomb City and reported it to the Imperial Court. Because of the urgency of the matter, she feared that it would cause a change in the hearts of the people.
As soon as the news reached the capital, it drew the attention of the public officials, who repeatedly requested that the emperor severely punish this matter.
Mu Yunyao had naturally heard of the matter of Ziling, and had even sent Jin Lan to inquire about the news of Ding Yue. It was a pity that she wasn't able to get any confirmation even after asking for a long time.
After recuperating for seven or eight days, some of the small wounds on her body had completely healed, and only the wound on her palm was still faintly aching. After calculating the time, she estimated that six taels of silver were about to return and wanted to go to the brocade garden.
Even if it was just going to the next door, Su Qing still wouldn't agree to let her go out. Mu Yunyao used all of her skills and made a series of promises before finally being able to bring Jin Lan and Jin Shi to the next room.
Upon hearing the news, Steward Qin hurriedly rushed over, "Greetings to Lady Mu. How are Lady Mu's injuries?"
"Thank you, Manager Qin, for your concern. Nothing serious has happened."
"Seeing that Miss still looks haggard, I think it's better if you rest more. I have prepared some bird's nest and ginseng, but I don't dare to carelessly send them to Miss for fear of causing lady to misunderstand. Lady, you must take them with you when you leave."
"Then, thank you, Supervisor Qin."
Mu Yunyao sat at the edge of the pavilion and waited. She had already agreed to wait here for the fifty people to return on the 15th day at the same time.
Just as he was deep in thought, a servant came forward to report, "Lady, Steward Qin, Wei Yi, Yun Chun, and the others have returned."
Mu Yunyao's eyes lit up, "Bring them in."
6 taels of silver led the way in, bowing to Mu Yunyao first before silently standing by her side. However, their eyes were always quietly looking at her, with traces of indistinct expressions.
Wei Yi and Yun Chun were slightly behind. Their expressions were still light as though nothing had changed. But upon closer inspection, their auras were somewhat different.
Mu Yunyao swept a glance at them, her eyes flashing with a trace of satisfaction. "Go and prepare some clothes, then come make some tea."
"Yes, my lady."
Supervisor Qin could not help but widen his eyes. Although they were still the same people, their bearing was completely different. Before, they had smiles on their faces, but now, no matter how brilliant they were, they had an ice-cold look to them.
Mu Yunyao slightly nodded. "Let's begin."
The fifty of them started making tea together, their white sleeves rustling as they poured water into the tea. Not long after, the fragrance of tea wafted through the air. The tea cup's lid lightly tapped against it, letting out a crisp sound, and then the fifty people saluted together once more, gathering their hands and sitting behind the table.
Steward Qin's face was filled with pleasant surprise. These people already possessed the charm of Mu Yunyao making tea. Especially with so many people acting at the same time, it was exceptionally shocking. "What do you think, Miss?"
The people below also raised their heads to look at Mu Yunyao, hoping for her confirmation.
Mu Yunyao slightly shook her head. "It's passed."
"You passed?" Chief Steward Qin did not understand. "Please enlighten me, Miss." Our teahouse is open to welcome guests. How many of us are really in love with tea? I think it's less than 10: 2. Among the many guests, some of them are just socialising, while others are just acting elegantly. If we can't be unique, there are so many teahouses and teahouses, why would others choose to join us?
Our place? "
As Mu Yunyao spoke, she got up and sat behind the table, and began to make tea.
Her face was pale and haggard, and the clothes she wore were all ordinary. However, the moment she moved, everyone's eyes were focused on her movements, it was clearly the same tea brewing method. Her actions gave off a natural beauty. Even without me saying so, you know that this teahouse is not only for the sake of earning money. If you can't attract as many people as possible to come here, then this teahouse is meaningless. After you guys returned, your expressions were much more vivid than before. However, you have to remember that we are a teahouse, and we need to wash up …
To lead dust, to hope to live elegantly, what you are showing is not yourself, but the tea in your hands, so your breath must also be merged with the tea. "
Her voice was crisp and clear. As she made tea, she spoke slowly. The words that left her mouth seemed to float along with the fragrance of the tea to the bottom of one's heart. She felt tranquil, but her words still echoed in her mind.
Mu Yunyao retracted her actions and gently placed the teacup in front of Steward Qin. Her smile didn't intentionally pursue gentleness and beauty, it even seemed a little light and distant, but the crowd felt that she should do so. They couldn't help but yearn for and admire her.
Mu Yunyao raised her eyes and looked at the crowd. "All of you have to please the guests, but you can't be humble and flatter them. Instead, you have to make them lower their guard and take you all as their close friends so that you can get what you want.
This sort of thing could only be understood but not conveyed. She was also unable to use words to explain it clearly. Among these people, there were already people who had their first insight, just by practicing a little more, they would be able to achieve perfection. At that time, the fifty people he had picked out were not considered outstanding, but their loyalty was great. They were able to resolutely carry out the orders of the prince, but now, he suddenly had a feeling that these fifty people might not be able to become great weapons, which was far from what he had expected.
