Mu Nanjin felt refreshed while eating, not for any other reason, but because Gu Ming would pick whatever dish she wanted to eat for her, and she didn't even have to move her mouth, the dish she wanted would be delivered to her.

[Could it be that Gu Ming and I have a telepathic connection? ]

Mu Nanjin asked Gu Ming: "How do you know what I want to eat?"

Gu Ming, who had already thought of how to answer her, said calmly: "I can tell from your eyes. I know which dish you want to eat when you look at it."

Mu Nanjin expressed doubt.

[Is this true or false? ]

【I want to eat braised pig's trotters now. 】

Gu Ming quickly stood up, picked up a piece of pig's trotter and put it in her bowl.

Mu Nanjin took a bite happily, then realized something was wrong.

[No, I didn't see the pig's trotters just now. ]

[How did Gu Ming know that I wanted to eat pig's trotters? ]

[Coincidence? Or is it really a telepathic connection? ]

Gu Ming gave the governor a look.

The governor understood, picked up the wine glass, stood up and said, "Everyone, let's toast to Lady Mu to celebrate her return to the capital and to our Jinyiwei."

"good."

Everyone picked up their glasses and stood up: "Master Mu, we toast you."

Mu Nanjin immediately put what had just happened behind him and picked up his glass to clink glasses with everyone.

Gu Ming said: "Just take a sip, you don't need to drink the whole glass."

Others hurriedly said: "Yes, the governor is right, just taste it, just taste it."

They were afraid of nothing but her getting drunk.

While everyone was persuading Mu Nanjin, Yun Yilu drank all the wine herself and put the cup back on the table.

Through this meal, she realized one thing clearly, that is, the governor's mind was only on Mu Nanjin.

It was difficult for others to get in between them, and the governor would not allow others to get in. Even the Jinyiwei, who were old officials, would not allow others to get in.

Moreover, she discovered one more thing.

Although Mu Nanjin coveted the governor's beauty, his feelings were limited to admiring beautiful things, without any romantic feelings involved. Even if there were any, they would be very little, so little that it could almost be said to be non-existent.

Tsk tsk, there seems to be no end to the governor’s journey to pursue his wife.

Yun Yilu was looking forward to seeing how the governor, who was always being chased by others, would chase others.

After dinner, the governor suggested going shopping to help digest the food.

Before Mu Nanjin could agree, everyone agreed.

Leaving the restaurant and coming to the intersection of a busy street, Kan Chaoyan grabbed Lei Dian Hammer's neck and said, "Little brother, let's go to the street on the left for a walk."

He led his men to the street on the left, but unexpectedly, he could not pull them away. Even if he tried harder and used his internal strength, he could not move them even a little bit.

Lei Dian Hammer was puzzled: "I want to follow Mu Nanjin, why should I go to the left?"

Kan Chaoyan explained patiently: "You will disturb them."

"How can I disturb them if I just follow them and don't say anything?"

The thunder hammer followed and hooked Kan Chaoyan's neck, and he was dragged away by him.

Kan Chaoyan: “…”

The others had no choice but to follow.

Although Mu Nanjin, who was walking in front, still had a stern face, he checked every stall.

[I have been in Daqian country for such a long time, but I have never been to the night market properly. Instead, I have been to brothels more often. ]

Kan Chaoyan and others: "..."

[I really miss the days of visiting brothels with Jinyiwei. 】

Kan Chaoyan and Deng Xingchao all looked at Captain Liu and Captain Zheng.

Captain Liu held his forehead with his hand and said in a low voice, "We are just having dinner at Xiaoqinglou. As for the rest, you know."

Deng Xingchao burst out laughing: "Why did she choose Xiao Qinglou?"

Captain Liu sneered, "She must want to see men, so she often chooses to eat at Xiao Qing Lou."

In front, Gu Ming saw Mu Nanjin stop and look at the puppets on the stall, and asked, "Do you like puppets?"

Mu Nanjin said calmly: "I don't like it."

「Ahhh——」

[I actually like puppets very much, but I said I don’t like them because I’m afraid people would say they’re childish.]

[Buy it to me quickly, Gu Ming, you have to force me to buy it regardless of whether I like it or not. ]

[I like the little girl holding a sword, buy it quickly. ]

Jinyiwei: "..."

If I hadn't been able to hear her inner voice, I would never have guessed what she wanted to do.

"I actually like puppets very much." Gu Ming pretended to look around the stall and finally stopped at the little puppet that Mu Nanjin mentioned.

He picked up the puppet and said, "I thought she looked very much like you, so I bought it."

Mu Nanjin was silent, but her inner voice...

[Yes, I want her. I want her. Please pay me quickly.]

Gu Ming suppressed his smile and took out ten copper coins to give to the vendor, then stuffed the puppet in front of her: "I give it to you as a gift to celebrate your return."

Mu Nanjin said expressionlessly: "Thank you."

[Hehe, we are indeed in sync. I bought the puppet I like. Gu Ming, I love you.]

Gu Ming was slightly startled, and an invisible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth involuntarily.

Mu Nanjin said seriously, "I suddenly remembered that I have something to do. I have to go back."

Gu Ming raised his eyebrows: "What do you want?"

Mu Nanjin said: "It's urgent."

[I can't possibly tell you that I want to go home and hide in my room and play with puppets.]

Jinyiwei: "..."

Gu Ming: “…”

This is the urgent matter?! I should not have bought the puppet if I had known this earlier.

Yun Yilu looked at Gu Ming with great sympathy.

Before, I felt particularly regretful that I couldn't travel with the governor and become his partner, but now I feel that people like the governor should be managed by people like Mu Nanjin.

Gu Ming took a deep breath and said, "Since you have urgent matters, I will not disturb you, but remember to report to the Taijin Palace tomorrow."

"Um."

Mu Nanjin turned and left.

Her back was as heartless as it could be; she didn't even turn around to look at him.

The governor walked up to Gu Ming and patted his shoulder sympathetically: "Take your time."

Gu Ming hummed.

He has plenty of time to waste with her. If ten years doesn't work, then a hundred years will do. If a hundred years doesn't work, then a thousand years will do. One day, he will make her his.

The governor said to the others, "Go home."

On the other side, Mu Nanjin returned to his room in the Mu Mansion and could finally play with the puppet to his heart's content without anyone seeing him.

But the next morning was a tragedy. They had to get up before Yin time and then rush to Taijin Palace to be on duty before Mao time.

Of course, she cannot be the only one to do such an inhumane thing. The Thunder Hammer that said it would always stay by her side must also go with her to guard the Taijin Palace.

Because the maid Zhenzhu was worried that she would be scolded for being late, she woke her up earlier than in previous years. When they arrived at the palace, there was still half an hour before the court session.

Mu Nanjin walked slowly towards Taijin Palace with the thunder hammer.

The moment the officials who were waiting to attend the court saw Mu Nanjin, they were so scared that they ran into the court and said, "Mu Nanjin is here to attend the court." (End of this chapter)
