Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

As she was speaking, Silver Red quickly took out a wooden box. Lady Jin handed it over and said, "Open it."

Mu Yunyao's heart slightly moved, but there was a trace of curiosity on her face as she gently opened the box. Within the box, ten pieces of paper were neatly placed. On top of them was a bright red handprint. "Madam, could this be …"

"Yes, it's the indenture contract for those ten female acolytes. Six of the ten girls are sons of the family, and four of them were found outside the manor. They all signed death contracts, so you can rest assured."

"Madam, I was only thinking of borrowing them from you for a few more days, not for their indenture contract."

"I know that I gave you this indenture contract as a thank-you gift. Those ten people learned the art of embroidery from you, and you are their master. To them, the debt of gratitude is as heavy as a mountain, but the will of the people is unpredictable.

"Madam …"

Seeing that Mu Yunyao still wanted to refuse, Madam Jin intentionally put on a stern face, "Why, are you still so courteous to me? "If you truly feel bad about it, then help me make some clothes."

Mu Yunyao slightly bit her lips and stood up to solemnly bow to Lady Jin. "Then I'll accept it without a trace of politeness. Many thanks to Madam here."

"That's more like it. Come and have a taste, there's a new chef in the mansion. He's making dessert very well." Lady Jin smiled and pushed the dessert plate towards Mu Yunyao.

Mu Yunyao picked up a piece of dessert and elegantly helped him taste it, a slight crease appearing between her eyebrows.

Seeing her expression, Madam Jin couldn't help but ask, "But the dessert doesn't suit your taste?"

"Not really. I just feel that this dessert is faintly bitter."

"Bitter?" Lady Jin picked up a piece and tasted it. There was goat's milk with almonds added in it. It was delicate, soft, and fragrant. There was not the slightest bit of bitterness in it. "Why didn't I taste it?"

Mu Yunyao promptly smiled and said, "Perhaps it's my own pain in the mouth that I tasted wrongly. Madam, you don't need to mind. "This tea is quite good. If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Mushroom Spring in the southern part of the Mausoleum of Books, right?"

"How did you know?" Lady Jin was surprised.

Last time at the teahouse, Madame invited me to have a cup of tea. I felt that the tea was very special, but when I went to brew it myself, I was unable to brew that flavor. When I found out later that the teahouse used the spring water from the fermented spring, I was able to taste it again today.

She was not proficient in the Way of Tea, but according to the Matriarch Sentinel, the spring water from the Flourishing Spring was extremely good in making tea, which was why she ordered people to take water from there. Today was also the first time she used it to make tea, she did not expect Mu Yunyao to be able to taste it all in one mouthful.

"After disturbing Madam for a long time, I'll take my leave first." After Mu Yunyao finished speaking, she stood up and left.

It was unknown what Lady Jin was thinking, but she actually didn't react for a moment. Yin Hong hurriedly walked her out of the courtyard. "Miss should be extra careful on her way back. I heard that there are still many ladies looking for you."

"Yes, thank you for your reminder, Sister Silver Red. Please take care of Madam these few days. It's not good to eat too much sweet food." Silver Red was a bit confused, taking care of Madame Jin was her duty, of course she would take care of it. These words were a bit unnecessary, but Mu Yunyao wasn't the kind of person who liked to talk too much, so why did she say this more?

As soon as she entered, she was called over by Lady Jin. "What did she tell you after you sent Mu Yunyao out?"

"In reply to Madam's words, she thoughtlessly reminded me to take good care of you, and even said that it would be bad if I ate too many sweet things."

After a long while, she finally spoke up, "Go and invite Doctor Chen. Wait, don't ask for Dr. Chen anymore. Change your clothes, wrap up a few snacks, and find a more secretive clinic. Let people see if there's anything strange with these snacks."

"I don't know, you can go if I tell you." Although Mu Yunyao was young, she had a calm personality. Her mouth was actually able to taste the water used to make tea, so when she said that there was a bit of bitterness in her heart earlier, it shouldn't be an illusion. Furthermore, she especially warned Yin Hong.

Ever since she was young, she had always preferred sweet foods. Ever since she had married Cao Yunsheng, her family had specially added a few cooks to help her get used to eating.

A few days ago, the chef in charge of the case Bai got sick and she gave him money to go back home and rest. This new cook was newly sent over by her parents and she still felt warm inside. If there was really something wrong, then …

After waiting anxiously for nearly two hours, Yin Hong ran back in a hurry. Upon seeing Madame Jin, he kneeled down. "Madam, madam …" This dessert … "A snack..."

Madam Jin steadied herself and her fingers tightened. "If there's any problem, tell me."

"This servant found several medical institutions, at first no one told the truth, but in the end, this servant saw that the doctors' expressions were flickering, and so she offered a large sum of money to pry open a person's mouth. That doctor said that there was a layer of grass in his heart, and the layer grass has a cold nature, so taking a little of it won't be too much of a problem, but if the time is too long, then …"

"What will happen, speak!"

"It will cause cold in the palace, making it difficult for a woman to conceive." After Silver Red finished speaking, he knelt on the ground not daring to raise his head.

Lady Jin stayed calm for a while before speaking. "Get up. Do you remember what I said?"

"Yes, ma'am."

Riverbed Grass, Riverbed Grass …

Madame Jin closed her eyes, her lips full of bitterness. Having no children was the biggest regret in her heart. Cao Yunsheng didn't say it out loud, but his heart was filled with resentment. She thought that he was destined to do so, so she helped him accept a few more concubines.

She had never thought that it wasn't that she couldn't have children, but that someone had resorted to some underhanded means!

She opened her eyes abruptly and a cold light flashed through her heart. She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails were stained with blood, completely unaware, "If I find out that someone was purposely tormenting me for so many years, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

When Mu Yunyao returned home, she only instructed Su Qing to keep the box properly and did not inform the ten female disciples that the indenture contract had already been transferred to her. It looked like the ten of them were not bad, but Lu Yao knew his strength well and had seen many people in the past. In such a short period of time, he could not see a single person's character at all, so it was still good to leave a little leeway.

Two days later, Silver Red came again. Upon seeing Mu Yunyao, he immediately bent his knees and bowed. His respectful attitude caused the ten female disciples to be astonished, "Miss, the madam invites you to visit her mansion."
