Granny Song said, "When I passed by Chongyang Mountain, I stopped at the Chongyang Inn to rest and met a woman. Coincidentally, she was my senior sister's disciple. After looking at your portrait, she said that you were the wife of the chieftain of Chongyang Mountain. It is not difficult to guess Yun Rong's identity."
"Who is your senior sister's disciple?"
"I can't tell you that. But don't worry, I don't care about things in the martial world. What Fu Yunchen wants to do in the imperial court is also not under my jurisdiction. I'm only in charge of the Prime Minister's office. I'm just doing my job for others. I'll do as little as possible, and there's no guarantee of a reward for doing more."
"Very convincing... Does the imperial court know his identity now?"
"Of course, I don't know now. As for the future, that depends on you." Granny Song looked at Mu Run with certainty, believing that Mu Run would follow her wishes.
"How can I trust you not to inform the court?"
“You have no choice.” Granny Song lifted the lid of the teacup, looked at the orange-red tea, smelled the aroma, and praised, “This is truly excellent tea. Madam Yun’s tea-making skills are truly remarkable.”
"I really had no choice. But I could also choose not to choose, and at worst, we'd all go down together."
"What are you going to do?" Granny Song frowned.
"It shouldn't be difficult to ruin this face."
"You!" Song Mama's eyes revealed a hint of vigilance.
Mu Run became increasingly certain that she would still have to be the stand-in.
"Although I am at a disadvantage, I am determined to fight to the death. If a person wants to die, even the King of Hell cannot stop him."
"What do you want?" Granny Song kept a close eye on her every move, fearing that she might actually do something.
"I need you to protect Fu Yunchen! Keep his true identity from being discovered by the court. Do you think you'll agree to that, Granny?"
"You want me to protect him?" Granny Song looked surprised.
Mu Run nodded, "If you can do it, I'll let you do as you please. If you can't..."
"I promise you, but I'll only protect him once!" Granny Song looked troubled, as if this deal was a loss for her.
"three times!"
"I don't have that much ability!"
"Yes, nanny."
"...Alright, I'll try my best to protect him three times."
"Okay, what does Granny want me to do?"
"Come with me to the palace. A noble person in the palace wishes to see you."
Mu Run's slender fingers rubbed against the edge of the table a few times before she finally stood up from her chair. "I'm going to change my clothes."
"No need, I've already prepared everything in the carriage."
"I'll offer you a condom, okay?"
"……Can."
Under the watchful eye of Granny Song, Mu Run went to the outhouse.
When she came out of the latrine, she saw Hongmi, Cai Shi, and Shi An tied together, their mouths gagged.
"Waaaah..." Redmi's face turned bright red with anxiety.
Cai and Shi An watched her anxiously and worriedly as she struggled. However, the thick hemp rope binding her was not something that could be broken by ordinary strength.
They had noticed something was wrong, but just as they were about to take action, they were taken control of by the people brought by Granny Song.
To put it bluntly, this time Song Mama was just here to take people away. All the things she said to her were just to persuade her to leave obediently so that she wouldn't make things too ugly.
"Release them," Mu Run said to Granny Song.
"Once Madam Yun got into the carriage, they were naturally fine."
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Mu Run removed the gags from their mouths. "I'll be back soon."
"Madam, don't go with them," Madam Cai said urgently.
"Sister Run—"
"lady--"
