Split The Relationship
“Miss Mu is here?” Steward Qin was so happy . “Wang Ye, I want to welcome Miss Mu . You must have thought it through and decided to let her know . You must talk to her well, and don’t leave any grudges in Miss Mu’s heart . ”
Joy was written all over Yue Wang’s face . He subconsciously adjusted his clothes before asking Yu Heng to invite her in .
Mu Yunyao entered the door and respectfully saluted Yue Wang . “Greetings to Your Highness Yue Wang . ”
Hearing her address him, the light in his heart dimmed, but his expression did not change at all . “No need to be so courteous . ”
Mu Yunyao placed the book in her hand on the table and then looked apologetically at Steward Qin, “I have some matters that I wish to discuss with His Highness Yue Wang in private . Is it possible to ask Steward Qin to leave temporarily?”
Steward Qin quickly smiled and said: “Then this old servant will go down to prepare some refreshments for Your Highness and Miss Mu . ”
Yue Wang’s gaze fell onto the pile of books . From the looks of it, it was probably an account book .
Mu Yunyao pushed the account book towards Yue Wang and said, “Your Highness, these are the accounts of Ni Yun Fang in the past few months . I have sorted them out, and I have already calculated the profits that should have distributed to you . Here are the banknotes . ”
“You don’t have to calculate it so clearly …”
“The calculations that should be transparent naturally would be better if it was clear . ” Mu Yunyao wore a smile on her face, which was full of estrangement . “Wang Ye, the profits of Ni Yun Fang totally different from Bu Xian Luo, and you can’t compare it . Therefore, I wish to make a deal with you . ”
The expression in Yue Wang’s heart turned dark: “What deal?”
“You have already taken 30% of the profits from Ni Yun Fang, and I have taken 40% of the profit from Bu Xian Luo . In fact, I didn’t help much in the serious calculation . It’s really not good to take so many profits shamelessly, so I want to exchange the profits in Bu Xian Luo for the profits of Ni Yun Fang in your hands . ”
Yue Wang frowned suddenly . The light in his eyes became cold, as though the ice and snow were falling . “You want to cut off all ties with me?”
Mu Yunyao’s heart slightly tightened, but her smile became even more radiant . “I just feel like I’ve taken so much profit, causing you to be at a disadvantage . ”
“What if I disagree?”
“Wang Ye wanted to develop Western Guangdong while meddling in Jiangnan . The silver that you spent should not be small . If you return the 40% profit from Ni Yun Fang, you will have many silver taels in your hands . Why hold on to this small Ni Yun Fang so tightly? Ni Yun Fang also has a golden signboard from the Emperor, but in the end, it’s just a place for selling clothes . There’s no opening up at present, and the amount of silver you earn is limited . If Wang Ye still feel that you’re at a disadvantage, I can compensate you with Yi Bao Xuan . Back then, when I was preparing Yi Bao Xuan, I was greatly helped by the people of Wang Ye, and now I can easily negotiate with them without much trouble . ”
Yue Wang’s heart sank . “What if I don’t agree?”

“If you have any conditions, you can propose them . As long as I can fulfill them, I will do my best . ” Mu Yunyao continued to smile, and the smile on her charming face was like honey as it emitted a sweet and fragrant scent . However, in the eyes of Yue Wang, he was only able to taste an endless bitterness .
“Yunyao, are you blaming me for investigating you?”
“Wang Ye, you’re overthinking it . I didn’t mean it that way . ”
“If you don’t blame me, why would you suddenly terminate cooperation with me?”
“Mother and I are preparing to leave Jingling City . ”
Yue Wang was stunned: “Leave?”
“Didn’t Fourth Master Ning also find some information? Your investigation is correct . My mother was indeed a lost daughter of the Su family many years ago . The old Madam of the Su family is my grandmother and the official’s secretary, Su Wenyuan, was my uncle . Sooner or later, the Su family will find out where my mother and I are and bring us back, so I decided to take my mother back to Xiayan village and wait . “
“Even if you want to return to the Su family, it wouldn’t prevent us from continuing our cooperation . . . ”
“Your Highness, have you thought this through? Even though I only call Su Wenyuan uncle, I also bear the label of the Su family . If you continue to cooperate with me, there will be endless hidden dangers . Why not separate Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Lou clearly, so you and I are happy and peaceful . ”

“What you said makes a lot of sense, but I don’t agree . ”
Hearing Yue Wang’s reply, Mu Yunyao abruptly raised her head, her eyes filled with confusion . “Why? Could it be that Wang Ye still felt that he had suffered a loss? Then, half of the 10 million taels of silver that I got from blackmailing the salt merchant will be given to Wang Ye . How about this?”
Yue Wang stared at Mu Yunyao, his eyes half angry and half helpless . “Am I such a greedy person in your heart?”
Mu Yunyao’s smile became colder, “Then what does Your Highness want?”
Yue Wang pondered for a moment, then said: “Yunyao, I found out that there is something strange about your father’s death, and I don’t know what the specific person did, but judging from your attitude towards the Su family, it seems like you don’t want to get close to them, so, I have a bold guess, did the Su family harm your father?”
Mu Yunyao suddenly raised her head . She had suspected before that her father’s death wasn’t an accident, but her ability was limited . She couldn’t investigate it in detail, so she could only suppress her doubts in her heart and wait for an opportunity to confirm one . She didn’t expect that Yue Wang would find something fishy, “I don’t dare to be sure . ”
“I’ll ask someone to continue investigating this matter . If you find any information, I’ll let you know as soon as possible . ”
“Wang Ye, why are you wasting your time on me?” Mu Yunyao suddenly came back to her senses . “The silver in your hands is enough now to build up any power . Why are you holding me so heavily?
Yue Wang was silent for a moment, then said: “Go back first, wait for me to think about it carefully, and at the same time, take a look at the account book . How about it?”

“Alright, then I’ll take my leave . ”
After Mu Yunyao left, Steward Qin walked in with a worried expression: “Your Highness, looking at Miss Mu’s expression, she is here not to make peace, is she?”
Yue Wang nodded his head: “Uncle Qin, quickly gets people to investigate the cause of Yunyao’s father’s death as soon as possible . Also, think of a way to interrogate Madam Su’s adoptive parents to see if they know anything, and use gentle methods . After all, they raised Madam Su before . ”
“Yes, Your Highness . ” Steward Qin nodded his head in agreement, “But where is Miss Mu …”
“Uncle Qin, my back injury is almost healed . Please help me to clean it up . I will head back to Western Guangdong later . ”
Steward Qin stunned: “The wounds on your body?”
“It’s fine . Before I leave, I want to bid farewell to Madam Su . After I say my goodbyes, I’ll leave immediately . After I leave, you can send these account books over to Yunyao . ” Today, Yunyao was full of precautions against him, and anything he said would not enter her ears, so he could only calm down first . He also had to think of a way properly to get close to her . When they met again, he had to make her unreservedly believe in him!
Steward Qin nodded his head, “Then I will go and prepare the present now . ”
When Mu Yunyao returned home, Su Qing had just returned from Ni Yun Fang . “Mother . ”
Su Qing held her hand and asked, “What’s wrong?” “Nothing, I just want to eat the Eight Treasures Rice that Mother made personally . ” Mu Yunyao leaned on Su Qing’s shoulder . The light in her eyes dimmed slightly . She had finally made up her mind to cut off the relationship with Yue Wang . She didn’t heave a sigh of relief as she had imagined . Instead, she felt empty inside her heart .
