Madam Cai understood Mu Run's good intentions and curtsied, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness. I will return later. We need to settle things here first; I don't feel comfortable letting others handle things."
"It's okay, we still have Redmi, right?"
"Hongmi is more shrewd and capable than men when it comes to outsiders, but when it comes to the little things in the house, she can't compare to a maid."
"That's true. Hongmi's personality is indeed too masculine; most people can't handle her."
"Yes, she's almost thirty, sigh!" Cai Shi said with worry. She treated Hongmi like a younger sister, so she was naturally very concerned about her marriage.
"It's up to her to decide. If she doesn't want to get married, there's no point in forcing her."
After arranging for people to deliver everything to the mountain, Hongmi came over to serve Murun. Seeing her talking to Cai Shi, she said, "Sister Cai, Old Yang is here to pick you up. Hurry up and go back."
Lady Cai retorted, "Don't talk nonsense. He came to welcome the Queen and the King. Besides, even if I were the only one returning, he wouldn't have come specifically to pick me up."
"Oh?" Hongmi pretended to be angry and said, "Then I have to talk to Lao Yang. How can you be so neglectful of your wife?"
Manager Yang came over and, upon hearing Hongmi's words, quickly bowed and said, "What Hall Master Hong says is true."
Mu Run laughed and said, "Don't listen to her nonsense. In our Chongyang Mountain, there is no man who doesn't love his wife."
Fu Yunchen came over carrying the two children. Hearing Mu Run's words, he couldn't help but smile. "There are more monks than porridge in Chongyang Mountain. If there is a bowl, they will definitely cherish it like a treasure. If there is no bowl, they won't even have one."
Mu Run looked at Hong Mi, "Once the palace maids reach a certain age, they are released and introduced to others if needed."
Upon hearing this, Hongmi felt embarrassed and said, "Sister-in-law, although my surname is Hong, I am not a matchmaker. I haven't even gotten married yet, how can I introduce people to others?"
Mu Run followed up, saying, "Then get married. Not to mention someone far away, but closer to home... what do you think of Zi Wu?" Her gaze turned to Zi Wu, who was walking over.
Hongmi looked at Ziwu, sized him up, and shook her head. "No, his physique isn't good enough."
Being told a man is inadequate is an absolute humiliation. Even a man like Ziwu, who is already quite celibate, would instantly feel resentful, thinking, "What's wrong with me?"
Hongmi asked, "If you're capable, can you let the corpse general absorb your life essence?"
This was Ziwu's sore spot. Since he could remember, this was the first time he had been humiliated to the point of unconsciousness, and the worst part was that the other party was a corpse monster that couldn't even be considered human.
“Xiao Hong, that’s a bit argumentative,” Mu Run quickly tried to smooth things over. “Let’s go back to Chongyi Hall first.”
Fu Yunchen handed Huanhuan to Hongmi and Tuantuan to Ziwu, saying, "Whatever you two want to do, leave it to private. Let's get down to business for now."
Hongmi and Ziwu both said in unison, "Yes."
They then glared at each other.
Hongmi turned her face away and carried Huanhuan up the mountain.
Zi Wu then used his lightness skill to ascend the mountain, quickly passing Hong Mi. As he passed, he even let out a soft hum.
Hongmi, naturally unwilling to give up, immediately picked up Huanhuan and followed, even overtaking Ziwu.
As Fu Yunchen carried her up the mountain, Mu Run looked speechlessly at Hongmi and Ziwu, and chuckled, "I was just saying that casually, but it seems that it's not impossible."
Fu Yunchen said, "Ziwu is a Black Witch, a pure Witch Clan member. If he marries Hongmi, it will be detrimental to their offspring."
"Really? Then how come I keep getting pregnant one after another?" Mu Run touched her swollen belly.
