Fu Yunchen looked surprised. "I didn't know that. Besides, Prince Zhou doesn't look like he's forty years old."
"You haven't met the Empress Dowager yet. She's seventy-one years old, and she looks... like she's in her thirties, like an old monster." Li Yilian seemed annoyed, and spoke out regardless of whether it was taboo or not.
A carriage hurriedly approached the Prime Minister's residence.
Fu Yunchen and Li Yilian stopped talking at the same time.
The carriage stopped, and a girl wearing a veil jumped off, completely disregarding the footstool.
"Brother, I heard that something happened to my sister. How is she now?" Li Yishan hurriedly walked towards Li Yilian.
Li Yilian replied, "We'll talk about it later. Come and meet my brother's good friend, Yun Rong."
"Is this Young Master Yun?" Li Yishan lifted her veil, revealing a beautiful face.
Fu Yunchen cupped his hands in a half-bow, "It is indeed I."
Then he said to Li Yilian, "I won't bother you any longer. You know where my new house is; you're welcome to come visit anytime."
"Alright, Brother Yun, take care." Li Yilian bowed and saw him off.
Fu Yunchen mounted his horse and rode away with Qiao Dongzi.
Looking at Fu Yunchen's broad shoulders and his strikingly handsome face, Li Yishan said to Li Yilian, "Is he the young master Yun that my sister likes?"
Li Yilian replied, "Let's go inside first and talk about it."
Li Yishan glanced again in the direction Fu Yunchen had left, and then followed Li Yilian into the mansion.

The next day, Mu Run woke up. She didn't know what time it was, but she felt it was probably quite late.
Cha Bao lay down beside her pillow, stretched, and then lay back down to continue sleeping.
Mu Run flicked its little tail with her finger. "How boring. What do you suggest we do today?"
A knocking sound rang out on the door.
Mu Run looked up in confusion, wondering if she was hallucinating. She was the only one in the villa.
Is it haunted?
It's best not to answer the door when a ghost knocks. Otherwise, your soul might be stolen. Because of last night's nightmare, Mu Run is still feeling uneasy. Scenes from various ghost movies are popping into her head…
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. Finally, she pulled the blanket over herself, hugged Cha Bao, and covered her head and pillow together.
The knocking sounded again.
Mu Run became even more nervous...
The door creaked open!
Oh no! She forgot to bolt the door last night... Mu Run remained motionless, not daring to even breathe.
Footsteps came in and stopped at her bedside.
Then, the blanket was pulled back!
Mu Run hugged Cha Bao, closed his eyes and shouted, "Don't eat me! I'm a victim too! I didn't do anything! It was the bandits who killed you! The grievances have their perpetrators, and the debtors have their debtors. Go find Fu Yunchen; he's the bandit leader."
"...What's wrong with you?" a familiar voice rang out.
Mu Run was startled, opened her eyes and looked at Fu Yunchen, "Hey? It's you, you scared me to death, I thought a ghost came and was going to eat my soul."
"Heh, tell me what this is all about?" Fu Yunchen walked to the table, picked up the kettle, and poured himself a glass of cold water to drink.
Mu Run stammered, "It was the dream about the wedding day, when Old Liu and his gang kidnapped the bride on the mountain... I was almost scared to death."
In fact, the original owner of the body was indeed scared to death.
Fu Yunchen stopped drinking water, then strode to her bedside, took her hand, and took her pulse.
Mu Run looked at his actions in surprise, "What are you doing?"
He only put down his hand after confirming that her pulse was normal, saying, "It's nothing, just checking if you're pregnant."
Mu Run's face flushed instantly. "You're the one who's pregnant."
Fu Yunchen laughed, "I can't get pregnant, but I can make you pregnant."
