Chapter 95 Young City Lord

Su Muyao lowered her head, not daring to look at everyone's eyes, and explained, "Well, it's not what you think. It's just that Wen Nanxi was injured, and I gave him some tonics."

"His ability to advance is still related to his physique."

"Yes, that's right."

I can't tell you what happened last night.

Otherwise, I wouldn't even need to eat breakfast.

The atmosphere was very tense, as if a fight could break out at any moment.

Wen Nanxi looked at Su Muyao with a tender and doting expression in her eyes.

Mei Qingchen looked at Wen Nanxi and felt that he was also acting strangely.

The person who used to be calm, composed, and indifferent to everything is now showing such a tender and suffocating expression.

What's going on here?

They're all acting strangely.

They used to dislike Su Muyao, but now, after such a short time, they're all vying for her favor.

Mei Qingchen thought to herself that she shouldn't end up like that.

Little did they know, Mei Qingchen would later contradict herself.

Since it was about taking medicine, Hua Linye and Xiao Jihan didn't say anything.

Because Su Muyao also prepared medicine for them.

One is for treating heat toxicity, and the other is for treating cold ailments.

Seeing that the atmosphere around them was good, Su Muyao invited everyone to eat.

Mei Qingchen quickly started cooking.

He was starving; the aroma of food when he came back earlier had been unbearable.

I have no idea what it tastes like.

This time I can finally try it.

Although Xiao Jihan and Hua Linye cooked the food, they said they learned their cooking skills from Su Muyao.

Only after tasting it did Mei Qingchen realize how delicious it was.

His phoenix eyes shone brightly, revealing a look of amazement.

I was completely amazed by the food.

It's so...so delicious!
Mei Qingchen didn't care about anything else and started eating quickly.

Although he eats quickly, he is the heir of the Mei family and has a noble status since childhood, so his eating movements are elegant, just much faster than usual.

Moreover, he eats without making a sound, no matter how fast he eats.

Hua Linye looked at Mei Qingchen and said calmly, "Now you know how delicious the food is!"

Mei Qingchen couldn't refute this point, and he whispered, "Mm!"

Hua Linye deliberately feigned regret and said, "Although we learned cooking from our wife, the taste of our dishes is not as good as hers, maybe only a tenth as good."

"It's a pity. You used to refuse when your wife offered you food. You may never be able to eat it again."

After learning how to cook, they couldn't bear to let their wives cook, so they started cooking instead.

Mei Qingchen felt as if she suddenly had a breath stuck in her throat.

He felt that Hua Linye must have done it on purpose.

He won't admit that he regrets it.

I should have eaten earlier!

Mei Qingchen didn't say anything in rebuttal and ate her meal in silence.

Because I was too ashamed to refute it.

……

After finishing their meal and cleaning up, everyone escorted Su Muyao into the mountains.

Wen Nanxi, Hua Linye, and Xiao Jihan all wanted to carry Su Muyao to the mountains.

Wen Nanxi said gently, "According to the previous rules, it is I who will bring my wife."

Hua Linye insisted, "Those were the old rules. Now we're protecting our wife up the mountain together, so those old rules don't apply."

Xiao Jihan spoke softly, "My lady, when we went to Yunxiao City before, they were the ones who took you back and forth, and I wasn't included."

Xiao Jihan's voice was no longer as clear and frosty as before; his tone had softened.

Su Muyao hesitated.

Mei Qingchen, standing to the side with his arms crossed, saw this scene and said lazily, "If my wife doesn't know how to decide, how about I guide her?"

"Or, my sword would work too!"

Hua Linye and the others disregarded their argument and immediately rushed forward to beat Mei Qingchen up. "My wife didn't say you were going to the mountains with her."

Mei Qingchen insisted, "I am the wife's beast husband, and protecting her is my duty, so I will go with her."

No matter what they did, he wouldn't leave.

Moreover, Mei Qingchen did not fight back, but deliberately showed her injuries to Su Muyao.

Su Muyao looked away and said to Xiao Jihan, "Let Xiao Jihan take me with him today!"

At times like this, it's best to maintain a balance, otherwise another fight will break out.

Oh, what a headache!

……

Once they reached the mountains and forests, Su Muyao searched for ingredients, while Wen Nanxi and the others hunted nearby, centering their search around her.

Make sure you can both protect her and get food.

Su Muyao also picked a lot of medicinal herbs.

Hua Linye eagerly stepped forward to help, saying, "My lady, let me help you gather medicinal herbs!"

He had helped collect medicinal herbs before, so he has experience now.

Su Muyao stopped him, saying, "These are all poisons, don't touch them."

Even Su Muyao wore gloves from her spatial storage when picking these medicinal herbs.

Hua Linye's expression changed upon hearing this.

"My lady, these poisons are too dangerous! You mustn't hurt yourself!"

Hua Linye watched Su Muyao's hands nervously, afraid that the poison would get on them.

I felt a little relieved to see that she was wearing gloves.

Su Muyao explained, "We use these to make some poisons and sedatives for self-defense in critical situations."

"I see!"

However, Hua Linye felt somewhat dejected. If they could protect their wife, she wouldn't need to resort to these methods.

After harvesting the medicinal herbs and poisons, Su Muyao stored them all in her spatial storage.

Continuing to wander in the mountains, she unexpectedly discovered green peppers and chili peppers.

"They even have green peppers and chili peppers!"

Su Muyao was extremely excited.

With these two things, some dishes become especially delicious when you add a touch of spice.

Stir-fried green peppers with pork is best enjoyed with rice.

Seeing Su Muyao's agitation, Mei Qingchen couldn't help but say, "This thing can't be eaten."

"Otherwise, something so bright red and conspicuous would have been picked long ago."

Su Muyao glanced coldly at Mei Qingchen, "That's because you don't understand anything."

Chili peppers can also be used to make chili sauce.

Hua Linye chimed in from the side, "That's right, my lady. He doesn't understand, so I'll help you pick these."

If the wife says it's edible, then it's definitely edible.

Wen Nanxi and Xiao Jihan brought over their prey and helped with the harvesting.

Mei Qingchen felt that his good intentions were not appreciated, but he was reluctant to admit it and went to pick the fruit anyway.

Su Muyao ignored him.

This trip to the mountains and forests has been very fruitful.

When they got home, they saw a magnificent carriage at their doorstep.

Upon seeing the totem on the carriage, Wen Nanxi's gentle expression hardened, and he said, "This is the Yun family's carriage."

No one dared to use such cloud patterns; they were the unique mark of the Yun family.

Xiao Jihan's expression also hardened. "Are they people from City Lord Yun's faction? Why would they be here?"

Hua Linye speculated, "Could it be related to yesterday's assassination attempt?"

Hearing the commotion, the steward next to the carriage hurried over.

He was stunned for a moment when he saw Su Muyao's beauty.

This didn't match the rumors, but remembering the young city lord's instructions, she quickly said, "Miss Su, hello!"

"I am the steward of the city lord's mansion!"

"My young lord said that Miss Su was assassinated yesterday because he failed to manage the security of Yunxiao City properly. He asked me to send some things to Miss Su as an apology and to calm her nerves."

Here are two chapters for today. I'm typing too slowly, so I'll take a break for now. I'll try to update two chapters a day for now, and I'll add more when I have the energy. You guys are all so kind, I love you all and cherish you all so much.
