"Good girl~" Fu Yunchen raised his hand and patted her head to express his appreciation.
Mu Run brushed her hand away. "I need to go back. Tell me quickly, what am I going to do now?"
"Leave the manor," Fu Yunchen said. "This time, I'll see you off."
Mu Run: "But what about the Prime Minister's wife..."
Fu Yunchen said, "I'll listen to my decision."
Mu Run: "...Don't say that."
“That’s true.” Fu Yunchen took out a tea container from the drawer. “Keep it with you.”
"Tea Treasure? How did it end up with you?" Mu Run took the Tea Treasure from his hand in surprise, then held it in her palm.
'Meow~' Cha Bao rolled around affectionately in Mu Run's palm.
Fu Yunchen glanced at it, seemingly with a warning, then said to Mu Run, "Let's go."
"Oh." Mu Run followed Fu Yunchen as they walked through the Prime Minister's residence.
As they walked, she realized that Fu Yunchen hadn't encountered anyone from the Prime Minister's residence along the way. They hadn't met a single person along the entire route until they reached the outer wall of the Prime Minister's residence.
Fu Yunchen grabbed her waist and, just as she was about to resist, lightly leaped over the outer wall.
Mu Run stared at Fu Yunchen in shock: "You...you're amazing!"
Fu Yunchen released her waist and turned his head slightly, "Thank you, my wife."
Mu Run: "...I misspoke."
"Hehe." Fu Yunchen took out a black whistle from his sleeve and blew it lightly.
But no sound came out.
"Is it broken?" Mu Run asked.
Fu Yunchen said, "This is the Secret Whistle. Its sound can only be heard by specific people."
"A specific person?"
"Would you like to hear it?"
"I don't want to." That's definitely not a good thing.
"Actually, I'm quite curious about what's going on with the Prime Minister's wife..." Mu Run wondered if Xin Lian had a different background.
Fu Yunchen said, "There's no need to take the risk, and having you here will distract me."
"..." Mu Run lowered his head slightly, a feeling that was hard to describe suddenly arose in his heart.
"Bai Shalu took your tea to the tea competition on your behalf and won second place. Many tea merchants want to buy your tea."
"Ah? Brother Bai went? And he even won a prize!" This was truly wonderful news. Mu Run's mind immediately flew to the tea ceremony. As for being a substitute for some important person, and Xin Lian's background, he put them all aside.
"Want to go back?" Fu Yunchen asked with a smile.
Mu Run nodded, "Yes. Since you're here, Yun Village shouldn't be besieged by the imperial court, so I'm quite relieved." In truth, if he couldn't handle it, her efforts would be in vain. She might as well go back to her tea business; if the imperial court really came to besiege them, she would simply take her tea and red rice and run away.
Liu Lao Er arrived in a horse-drawn carriage as fast as he could. "Eldest brother, is sister-in-law alright?"
Mu Run waved to Liu Lao Er, "I'm fine."
Fu Yunchen said, "Send her back to Bianyun Village."
Liu Lao Er replied, "Yes, Boss."
Mu Run: "I can go back by myself. It's quite dangerous for you here; you'll need help."
"Worried about me?" Fu Yunchen looked down at her.
Mu Run whispered, "...Of course, we're allies."
Fu Yunchen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
"I don't care if you're in trouble or not." Mu Run turned her face away and got into the carriage.
After Mu Run entered the carriage, Fu Yunchen's smile vanished completely. He said to Liu Lao Er, "She looks exactly like Princess Xiaoyu. Don't let anyone see her face on the way back. Wear a mask or disguise yourself, but try to keep a low profile and don't attract attention. Write to me after we get back to the mountain stronghold."
