Shi An rushed over.
Seeing his anxious expression, Mu Run asked, "What happened?"
"Madam, someone from the Prime Minister's residence has arrived."
"The Prime Minister's residence?" Mu Run recalled the rumors circulating that the second young lady of the Prime Minister's residence had come to deliver an invitation to her. Since Xiao Wan wasn't around, she didn't know if it was true or not. She might as well take this opportunity to ask; if she really had, she would have to go and apologize.
"Okay, let's go meet him."
When Mu Run saw that the person who came was Granny Song, he was shocked, but his face remained calm.
Granny Song, who taught her the art of disguise, naturally recognized her at a glance. "Miss Jiuge, it's really not easy to find you!"
“This old woman, I don’t know you.”
“Miss Jiuge, it’s easy to change skin and bones but hard to change eyes; your eyes can’t lie.”
"My eyes are nothing special."
"No, your eyes are very clear, which is extremely rare for an adult. In my entire life, I have only seen such clarity on Miss Jiuge. And the birthmark on the back of your head cannot be changed."
"..." Now that things have come to this point, there's no point in denying it anymore. Mu Run called Cai Shi in, "Sister Cai, prepare some tea."
Madam Cai glanced at Granny Song, then bowed and agreed, and went to prepare tea and refreshments.
Granny Song smiled and said, "Miss Jiuge, I went to Minzhou again to find you, and it wasn't a wasted trip. I discovered a secret. Can you guess what it is?"
Generally speaking, saying this means they're about to tell you a secret...
"Please enlighten me, Granny."
"Yun Rong, whose real name is Fu Yunchen," said Granny Song with a smile.
Mu Run's composure finally crumbled. "Just who are you?"
Granny Song continued, "Don't be nervous, I've never told anyone this secret. As for my identity, I can tell you without hesitation. Although I work in the Prime Minister's residence, I am Dark Raven of the Imperial Censorate."
"What is Dark Raven?" Mu Run suddenly remembered Shrimp Cripple. "What about Shrimp Cripple?"
"He's also a member of the Imperial Censorate, but he's a bit taller than me. Dark Raven is the court's spy, scattered throughout the country, collecting information on illegal and taboo acts committed by court officials."
"What if they haven't committed any crimes?"
"No, there are no honest officials in the world." Granny Song sneered, her eyes full of contempt.
“Nothing is absolute. Can you tell me, Granny, how was I discovered?” Mu Run disguises herself every day. Except when she sleeps, she wears disguise makeup almost all the time. Even if her eyes give her away, you have to look carefully to confirm it. A passerby who just walks by would never notice.
Granny Song said, "Xi Gongyong is the Prime Minister's wife's nephew. He has been in the martial arts world since he was a child. Your disguise is nothing to him. He can tell your true appearance from your facial bone structure. Next time, if you don't want people to recognize you, remember to wear a veil and completely cover your face."
Mu Run was startled, and then suddenly remembered that time when Xi Gongyong was supposed to go to the teahouse with her, but suddenly changed direction... The person following Xi Gongyong's carriage was a servant from the Prime Minister's residence.
He then said helplessly, "How would I know? I thought Granny's disguise skills were unbeatable."
Madam Cai brought in tea and snacks, and after setting them out, she asked Mu Run, "Madam, is there anything else you need?"
Mu Run shook her head. "It's alright, you can go outside first."
"How did the old woman find out about Fu Yunchen?" Mu Run asked curiously, knowing she would have to warn the people at the mountain stronghold.
