Chapter 123
Pressing The Ident.i.ty of Yue w.a.n.g
Jin Lan and Jin Qiao naturally recognized Su Qingwu . After a brief moment of panic, they hurriedly went forward to pay their respects before quickly helping Mu Yunyao down from the osmanthus tree .
Mu Yunyao tidied up her skirt, and a trace of doubt appeared on her face . “Greetings, Lord Su . Didn’t you already return to the Capital? Why would you appear in Jin Xiu Garden?”
“Miss Mu, you’re excused from the formalities . I’ve come this time to escort the two treasures that rewarded to you by the Emperor . ”
Mu Yunyao overjoyed upon hearing this . Her bright eyes were so full of joy that it seemed as if it was about to spill out . “Is the Emperor really rewarding me with the treasure? Great! Lord Su, you just mentioned two?”
“Yes, Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Lou . Shouldn’t Miss Mu has already guessed it?” Su Qingwu carefully observed Mu Yunyao . Thinking of all of the methods she had used, the emotions in his heart started to churn . He treated her so special . Could it be that he had tricked by her?
Mu Yunyao ignored the cold mockery in his words, and a bright smile appeared on her face . “How dare I to contemplate the Holy Intention at random? Could Lord Su have guessed it in advance? “
“How could that be?” It is a great sin to speculate about the Holy Intention, so he naturally would not admit it .
“Isn’t that it? Lord Su is someone the Emperor values highly . If you didn’t think of it, how could I have thought of it?” Mu Yunyao was in a good mood as she lazily replied to Su Qingwu . Seeing that he was not saying anything, she did not have the temper to continue ridiculing him . “I wonder, where the treasure bestowed by the Emperor? Do you need me to set up an incense case to welcome you immediately?”
“There are already soldiers guarding the treasure at Governor Zhang’s residence . It’s already getting late, so I’m sure that Governor Zhang will send someone to inform you tomorrow . ”
Mu Yunyao’s smile became even more radiant . “Next day is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th . It could be described as good things happen in pairs . Jin Lan, Jin Qiao, the two of you help me pick osmanthus flowers and send them to my mother . I have to find Shopkeeper Qin and discuss with him about how to celebrate it . Forgive me, Lord Su . This Gui Hua Garden has not opened yet . If Lord Su wants to taste tea, you should go somewhere else . Do you need me to call for Si Cha to entertain you?”
“No need . It’s time for me to leave as well . ”
“Respectfully sending off Lord Su . ”
Seeing that Su Qingwu had finished speaking and was about to leave, Mu Yunyao went back to share with her mother happily .
As he walked out of Jin Xiu Garden, his entourage quickly followed him: “Lord, Governor Zhang knows that you are here and has specially sent people to invite you to the banquet . ”
“Help me push it, merely say that I’m tired from the long journey and I won’t be feeling well . I’ll talk about it tomorrow . ” Su Qingwu said in a low voice .
“Yes, Lord . ”
Su Qingwu wanted to jump onto the horse before he suddenly realized that he was holding an osmanthus flower in his hand . It is full of lush green leaves and flouris.h.i.+ng flowers . The yellowish flowers were packed together into a cl.u.s.ter, making it look exceptionally adorable .
“Lord?” The attendant couldn’t help but remind Su Qingwu, seeing that he was stunned .
Su Qingwu’s eyebrows twitched . He looked at the osmanthus flower deeply, then tossed it onto the ground and jumped onto his horse, leaving at a lightning-fast speed .
Although Su Qingwu’s arrival caused Mu Yunyao to feel a little unhappy, when she thought of the two golden signboards, she immediately threw that thought to the back of her head . “Mother, our signboard has come down . ”
“A signboard? Are you saying that the calligraphy bestowed by the Emperor has arrived?” Su Qing was overjoyed .
