"...You misunderstood. What I meant was, should we call you 'husband' or 'boss' to outsiders? I think we should call you 'boss'."
"Let's call him Mr. Xiang."
"Master."
"My lord."
"Master."
"Then when you go to sleep at night, call out to your husband."
While sleeping... wouldn't he accidentally get carried away? Mu Run rolled her eyes. "I can't be bothered with you, you lecherous scoundrel!"
"Hehe." Fu Yunchen chuckled softly.
A city guard with an unusually serious expression stopped their horses. "Entry inspection."
Fu Yunchen dismounted, and Mu Run was about to dismount as well, but Fu Yunchen stopped her, saying, "No need."
He took a bamboo token from his waist and handed it to the city guard.
The city guard glanced at Mu Run, who was disguised and looked quite ordinary.
Another lazy city guard came over and was about to ask a question when he saw that it was Fu Yunchen. He quickly bowed and said, "This humble servant greets Lord Yun. Are you going into the city? Please come in, please come in."
Fu Yunchen replied, "Yes, my wife just arrived in the capital, and I've come to pick her up."
"Wife?" I've never heard that the newly appointed third-ranked scholar, a rising star in the Ministry of Personnel, has a family. So many noble ladies are waiting to marry him. The city guard looked at Mu Run in surprise.
His appearance was quite ordinary, and compared to Fu Yunchen, they were worlds apart, not even remotely worthy of each other.
"Greetings, Madam Yun." The city guard bowed respectfully. Regardless of whether she looked good or not, since Fu Yunchen acknowledged her, she was indeed the wife of an official.
Mu Run glanced at Fu Yunchen, and seeing the warmth and approval in his eyes, said, "No need for formalities."
The city guard who had been holding the token returned it to Fu Yunchen and bowed, saying, "Sir, please enter the city."
Fu Yunchen led his horse through the city gate.
Mu Run turned to look at the city guards and saw that they had stopped and questioned other people. If it weren't for that bamboo tag, no matter who it was, they would all be blocked outside the city.
"With such strict controls, what exactly happened?" Mu Run asked Fu Yunchen in a low voice.
Fu Yunchen replied, "It might be related to the Wu Kingdom delegation in the capital."
"Prince Zhou has been sent back by the Kingdom of Wu?"
"Um."
"Then... what will you do if the vinegar goes bad?"
Fu Qinghai, the leader of the Qinghai Gang, was the son of Prince Zhou. Although he was an illegitimate child, Prince Zhou only had one son, which made him stand out. Fu Yunchen destroyed the Qinghai Gang and even killed Fu Qinghai himself, a blood feud for the murder of his son. Upon his return, he would undoubtedly seek revenge against Bianyun Village.
Fu Yunchen knew her worries and smiled, "He can't care about suppressing bandits anymore."
Mu Run looked at her smile with a hint of schadenfreude, "Did you do something?"
"I really didn't do anything."
"What exactly happened?"
Fu Yunchen mounted the horse, gently spurred it on, and the horse trotted, making a clattering sound with its hooves.
"Last night, Prince Zhou, drunk and disorderly, broke into Li Yingyu's boudoir and violated her purity."
"Huh?" Mu Run stared in disbelief. "This... that spoiled young lady was... by Prince Zhou? Really?"
"Whether it's true or not, this matter has already caused quite a stir in the capital."
"What about Prince Zhou? What did he say?"
“Prince Zhou returned to his residence afterward and has not yet given an explanation to the Prime Minister’s office. However, this matter is of great importance, especially concerning the face of the royal family and the reputation of the Prime Minister’s office. If it is not handled properly, it will surely leave a bad name and cause endless trouble.”
"I feel that the best solution is for Prince Zhou to marry Li Yingyu with the rites due to a principal wife?"
