"Gu, Madam Lu." The official glanced at Lu Qingzhou, who was holding out Gu Yunran's hand, as if he hadn't noticed. His gaze fell on Gu Yunran, and he asked with a smile, "I wonder what Madam Lu has to say today?"
Before Gu Yunran could speak, Lu Qingzhou quickly replied, "Your humble servant..." Thinking of his current status as a commoner, Lu Qingzhou changed his words: "My wife and I are here to thank Lord Mu for saving our lives."
"Last time, when the Madam was poisoned, I heard that it was Master Mu who asked the palace for a life-saving pill, which saved the Madam's life. Today, I have brought a small gift to thank you, Master."
Lu Qingzhou was holding a brocade box in his hand. Butler Mu smiled and said, "Please, the master is in the pavilion in the backyard."
"Come with me."
"Thank you!"
Lu Qingzhou raised his leg and followed in. Gu Yunran rolled his eyes and cursed in his heart: Shameless.
This was Lu Qingzhou's first time to visit the shogunate, and he was attracted by its grandeur.
There is a huge rockery in the garden, next to which is a huge lotus pond with carp playing in the water. Not far away is a broken bridge, connected to which is a water pavilion.

He lowered his eyes and clenched his fists tightly.
"Master Mu."
Butler Mu brought the person to Mu Qianchen and then retreated. Lu Qingzhou respectfully saluted Mu Qianchen.
Gu Yunran stood beside Lu Qingzhou and bowed: "Greetings to Master Mu."
Mu Qianchen was washing tea. He raised his eyes and saw Gu Yunran beside Lu Qingzhou. His evil almond-shaped eyes raised slightly and he smiled.
"Mrs. Lu is here."
Gu Yunran pursed her lips and said nothing. Lu Qingzhou lowered his head and observed Mu Qianchen out of the corner of his eye. Seeing the smile on his face when he looked at Gu Yunran, he felt relieved.
Sure enough, it was a right decision to bring Gu Yunran with me.
Mu Qianchen pointed to the stone bench next to him and said, "Sit down."
Gu Yunran nodded and wanted to sit opposite Mu Qianchen, but Lu Qingzhou was quick-witted and sat down first. Gu Yunran had no choice but to sit next to Mu Qianchen.
