Fu Yunchen came down and saw Mu Run, who was still soaking wet, and frowned. "What happened?"
Mu Run gave an awkward laugh and said, "That's right, I just heard the sound of small animals and followed the sound, and I accidentally fell down."
"Next time we go up the mountain, bring some people with you." Fu Yunchen grabbed her wrist, took her pulse, and found that it was normal, with no signs of poisoning. He breathed a sigh of relief. Then he took out a medicine bottle from his sleeve pocket, poured out a brown pill, and said, "Take this. It's the antidote."
Mu Run looked at the pill speechlessly, "You really poisoned me?"
Although she had always been suspicious, she also harbored another thought: he was bluffing her!
"Yes, I never lie."
"..." He's the kind of person who can harm others and still speak so self-righteously!
Mu Run took the pill and swallowed it in one gulp, but swallowed it too quickly and choked on it. He quickly turned around to find some water.
As a result, apart from the 'little white cat', the undercurrent had disappeared, and the remaining traces of water were slowly seeping into the cracks in the rocks.
"Hey? Where's the water?" Mu Run asked 'Little White Cat'.
The little white cat squeaked twice at her.
She couldn't understand what it was calling... In the end, Mu Run could only swallow hard, shove the pill down, and then pick up the 'little white cat'.
"Feifei?" Fu Yunchen looked at the 'little white cat' in Mu Run's hand as if he didn't believe it, and then walked closer to take a look.
Mu Run instinctively dodged him, "What, what are you going to do?"
Fu Yunchen leaned down slightly, getting closer to her, and said, "What are you nervous about? We're husband and wife."
"I..." Mu Run wanted to refute, but it seemed pointless and might even offend him, so she swallowed the words back. "What do you mean by this?"
"I'm not sure yet, I'll let you know later." Fu Yunchen took the 'little white cat' from her hand, inevitably touching her fingers, which were icy cold.
Holding the 'little white cat' in one hand, he took off his own coat with the other and threw it to her, saying, "If you catch a cold, you'll be the one who suffers."
“I’m not cold,” Mu Run refused.
Fu Yunchen patted her head, "Good girl."
Mu Run understood. When he said "good boy," it meant that the matter was settled and there was no point in saying anything more.
Seeing Mu Run draped in his clothes, looking like a child in adult clothes, Fu Yunchen said, "I wonder if girls will still grow taller after they turn eighteen."
"What do you mean?"
"nothing."
"So you think I'm too short? Then let me go, I'd be more than happy to do that."
"That's not good, starting to dream in broad daylight."
"I'm telling the truth!"
********
With Fu Yunchen around, Mu Run's status as the bandit's wife is firmly suppressed and cannot be overturned.
Manager Yang felt deeply guilty for not being able to serve her with the respect due to a bandit's wife, so he knelt on the ground and refused to get up no matter how much Mu Run tried to persuade him.
Having exhausted all other options, Mu Run had no choice but to go to Fu Yunchen.
Of all the women in Yihua Garden, only the bandit's wife was allowed to go to Chongyi Hall without prior notification.
Fu Yunchen stood in front of a huge sand table, holding a dart in his hand, discussing matters with Liu Lao Er and several hall masters from Bianyun Village.
Seeing the door wide open, Mu Run went straight in.
Her appearance left everyone except Fu Yunchen and Liu Lao Er puzzled, wondering why this girl was so unruly.
Mu Run was also surprised, not expecting so many people. She should have knocked first. "Sorry for disturbing you."
Fu Yunchen tilted his head slightly, his eyes asking a question.
"Well, I have something urgent to attend to, so I'd like to ask the chieftain to leave for a little while. I'll be right back."
Fu Yunchen casually flicked his wrist, and the dart landed on a hilltop in the sand table. "Okay."
Mu Run led Fu Yunchen away.
No sooner had they left than another man entered. He had fair skin and a handsome, elegant appearance. Dressed in a white robe, he was as refined as a noble young master. He was playing with a foot-long pure gold flute between his long, slender, jade-white fingers. He was Bai Shalu, the leader of the Yunlong Hall of Bianyun Village.
"Second brother, isn't today a grand gathering? Why did the chieftain leave?"
"My sister-in-law needs to see my eldest brother. You came in from outside, didn't you see her?"
"No, I only saw a little girl."
Liu Lao Er sighed, "She is our bandit queen."
The golden flute in Bai Shalu's hand fell to the ground with a 'crack', making a crisp sound. In disbelief, he asked, "Second brother, what did you say?"
Liu Lao Er said, "She is our bandit queen."
Bai Shalu: "Didn't they say the chieftain's wife was an absolute beauty?"
Liu Lao Er: "Who told you that your sister-in-law is a beauty? I'm going to check her teeth."
Bai Shalu still couldn't believe it. "This is too ugly! It can't even compare to a single hair of the boss's."
"Old Bai, don't say I'm not a loyal brother. From now on, you can't say a single word that would insult Sister-in-law in front of the boss, otherwise... you know what will happen to the Qinghai Gang."
"What is her connection with the Qinghai Gang?"
"The leader of the Qinghai Gang, Fu Qinghai, has a younger sister named Fu Lin, who is the leader of the Orphan Gang. She stole her sister-in-law's money bag."
"...That's it?"
"Yes, that's it. On the way back to the village, the boss wiped out the Qinghai Gang. If it weren't for the fact that the Orphan Gang was on the Xiangping Gang's territory and the boss had to give the Xiangping Gang face, the Orphan Gang would have been taken down too."
...
"What is it?" Fu Yunchen asked Mu Run.
Mu Run replied, "Go and tell Manager Yang to get up. He's been kneeling at the entrance of Mingxiangju. I can't stand it."
“He’s doing this to help you establish your authority; otherwise, how would you manage Yihua Garden?”
"The women left behind by the former chieftain?"
"You seem to know quite a lot."
"Now they are all yours."
Fu Yunchen remained silent.
Mu Run looked up at him and said, "Since you have so many women, you don't need to come to me to vent your 'lust'."
Fu Yunchen's brow twitched slightly. What did they take him for? A beastly lust!
Mu Run looked at the distant mountain peaks, where there were so many tea trees, and she loved them so much.
"If you can promise me that you won't bully me anymore, I might consider staying."
"The bullying you're talking about, is it that I can't sleep with you?"
"……right!"
"Oh."
Fu Yunchen chuckled lightly, turned around and walked back towards the council hall, his back view looking somewhat unfriendly.
Mu Run instinctively didn't dare to chase after him anymore, only shouting, "You're such a bad guy!"
Fu Yunchen, with her back to him, raised her hand and waved, "Knowing what kind of person your husband is is also a wife's duty."
Mu Run returned to Mingxiangju and saw Manager Yang still kneeling at her door. She rubbed her forehead helplessly.
"Old Yang, get up first, let's talk things out."
“I understand that you are kind-hearted, Madam. But if you don’t return to the main courtyard, I will kneel here until I die and never get up.”
"This little courtyard is quite nice." Mu Run looked at her neatly tidied little courtyard and found it pleasing to the eye.
