Mu Run watched him eat, "Can you even bring yourself to eat it?"
"Try some too." Fu Yunchen picked up another piece of tender, white fish meat with no burnt bits and gave it to her.
Mu Run first smelled it; the fish still had a burnt smell. She said disdainfully, "No, you eat it yourself."
Fu Yunchen advised, "Although it's burnt, it has a unique flavor and tastes delicious."
Mu Run didn't believe her. "Then you eat it all." She picked up a piece of perfectly cooked stir-fried meat with her chopsticks, which was salty and fragrant.
Fu Yunchen had no choice but to eat it himself. It was indeed delicious. In addition to the tender flesh of the fish, it was also charred and fragrant to the bone, just like roasted meat. You could even eat the bones.
The last whole fish went into Fu Yunchen's stomach, but he was still not satisfied. "Next time, make another braised fish."
Mu Run: "...I think you've gone mad from eating too much."
...
To observe Fu Yunchen's condition after being bitten by Cha Bao, Mu Run, though reluctant to go to the capital, packed his belongings and rode away with Fu Yunchen on horseback.
Because she wasn't very good at riding horses, Fu Yunchen had her sit in front of him, and by gently leaning down, he could completely shield her petite frame in his arms.
Mu Run felt his chest was a little warm, so she moved forward a little.
As a result, Fu Yunchen pulled her back into his arms again...
As they entered the city gate, Mu Run noticed that the city guards were acting strangely.
He whispered to Fu Yunchen, "Why does it feel like there are more people? Is something happening in the capital, and they're on high alert?"
Fu Yunchen glanced at her. "You're quite perceptive. There are indeed three more people on guard than usual."
Mu Run said matter-of-factly, "We're bandits." Just like those thugs and gangsters who walk the shady path, they instinctively feel intimidated by those who walk the legitimate path and wear badges.
Fu Yunchen rested his chin on the top of her head, at just the right height. "Wife, don't keep revealing our identities."
Mu Run felt immense pressure, but couldn't shake it off. She said irritably, "Of course I know, that's why I'm telling you. Besides, where am I supposed to live? I can't exactly go back to the Prime Minister's residence, can I?"
Fu Yunchen said, "I bought a house, which isn't far from the Prime Minister's residence."
"That's alright. But you're really rich."
She bought a house without hesitation, and it was even in the capital. She had heard from Guo'er that some court officials actually rented their homes in the capital. In fact, the Prime Minister's residence was bestowed upon him by the court, and he would have to move out when he was no longer the Prime Minister.
"With so much money, aren't you afraid of being targeted and having your income investigated?"
“You might really like the fake identity I’ve created,” Fu Yunchen said with a smile.
"What do you like?" Mu Run asked curiously.
"A tea merchant," Fu Yunchen replied.
"Huh?" Mu Run was stunned. "You don't sell... no, I sell tea."
"Yes, so I also took over a tea shop, waiting for you to take it over, my wife. As for the raw tea you made in Chongyang Mountain, I also had Lao Yang send someone to deliver some of it. The tea-making utensils and workshop, modeled after Chongyi Hall, are also ready. As soon as the raw tea arrives, you can start making tea."
As Mu Run listened to his words, her eyes grew brighter and brighter, until her little face turned rosy. She looked up at Fu Yunchen and said, "That's wonderful! Thank you... Husband?"
"...!!" Fu Yunchen felt as if he had been struck by lightning. The way he looked at her was as if he wanted to devour her alive.
Mu Run felt the arm around her waist suddenly tighten, making it hard for her to breathe. She quickly slapped his hand, saying, "Loosen up, your waist is going to break, it's going to break."
Fu Yunchen relaxed a little, "Say it again."
