Men are superior to women: the heartthrob in Yunqi

Ji Qi specifically asked Furong, Handan and Lu Shen to send Mu Yao back.

Mu Yao was very happy to see these two beautiful ladies. She chatted with them cordially and before she knew it, she arrived at the Imperial Master's residence.

Handan and Furong were reluctant to leave Mu Yao. Yesterday, the emperor ordered that no one could approach the courtyard without his permission. They had just had a small gathering with the emperor and empress for a while when they arrived. They couldn't help but stare at Lu Shen's back with murderous intent.

Furong took out a bottle of "Bamboo Dew Pills" from her bosom and handed it to Mu Yao, saying, "Empress, this is what the Emperor asked me to give you."

Mu Yao was not used to this title, and she suppressed her twitching lips and said, "There are too many people around, so you two should just call me Madam from now on."

Furong and Handan thought it made sense and nodded ignorantly.

Mu Yao breathed a sigh of relief, playing with the small white porcelain bottle in her hand, her eyebrows curved into a line.

Turning around, she suddenly saw the back of a tall man standing outside the mansion. His snow-white robe outlined his perfect body proportions, and his long black hair was tied up with a emerald crown. He was handsome and elegant, which made Mu Yao curious about his appearance.

"Who are you?" Mu Yao walked closer and asked.

The man heard the voice and looked back, and the two pairs of beautiful eyes looked at each other in surprise.

"Wei Wushang, where have you been?"

"Woman, did you fight with someone?"

The two spoke in unison, and even the look in their eyes was exactly the same.

"What are you doing here?" Mu Yao asked with an unhappy look on her face.

"Propose to your father. Didn't you say you would take me to meet him?" Wei Wushang has been very busy these days. He went to the capital once and made a round trip with great effort. Now he hurried here without even taking a breath. What a coincidence! He met his wife.

"Where do you live? My dad and I will come to your place later." Mu Yao said unhappily.

"Why?" Wei Wushang looked at her in confusion.

"This is the home of my other husband. Do you think it's appropriate for you to propose to my father here?" Mu Yao stared at Wei Wushang as if he were a fool. She doubted whether this man had only received a few years of education.

"What's inappropriate? Am I ugly? Or is he ugly? We will meet sooner or later, so what's wrong with comparing in advance?" Wei Wushang raised his chin arrogantly, the disdain and mysterious self-confidence in his eyes could hardly be contained.

Ah... This... When a scholar meets a soldier, he can't explain himself clearly. Mu Yao suddenly felt itchy.

"Xie really has nothing to be ashamed of. I wonder who you are?"

The voice of thanks came from behind the two of them. Mu Yao turned around, and was immediately hugged by him around the waist. His eyes were sharp and cold, and he was looking at Wei Wushang expressionlessly.

"Aci, you're back." Mu Yao saw that his eyes were dark circles and guessed that he must not have slept all night.

Xie Ci restrained his coldness, lowered his eyes to look at Mu Yao and said: "I had a lot of things to do yesterday, now that I'm done, I can spend some time with you."

Wei Wushang had a cold face and stared at the annoying big hand on Mu Yao's waist with hostility. The short blade on his sleeve unconsciously fell into his left palm.

Mu Yao noticed his strangeness and quickly introduced him: "Aci, this is Wei Wushang."

"Oh, I've heard of your name for a long time. Master Wei, are you here to propose marriage to me today? Don't you have a place to stay in Xianshui? My family is big and powerful, and we don't need you. Why don't we go in and talk in detail?" Xie Ci was very unhappy. There were already two more people in his family, and now there was another one. What kind of place was his imperial master's residence?"

There was a strong smell of gunpowder and provocation. Mu Yao stared at Wei Wushang's left hand with fear in her heart, but she didn't dare to break free from Xie Ci's big hand. She was so scared that her back was soaked.

The air froze for a moment, and Xuan'er was soon surrounded by a burst of laughter.

Wei Wushang stopped laughing and snorted, "That's exactly what I meant. I just want to go in and take a look, and learn from it, and then buy a bigger and better one for Yaoyao." What's so great about a mere mansion? The last thing he lacks is money, so he can just buy it.

"Yaoyao, which courtyard does our father live in? Take me there first." Wei Wushang asked while looking at the scenery in the courtyard, holding Mu Yao's small hand tightly with his big hand, secretly competing with Xie Ci.

Mu Yao was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do. These two people were in conflict today, even their robes were the same color, which made her speechless.

He stopped, pulled Xie Ci aside and whispered, "Ah Ci, I'll take Wu Shang to see Dad first. Dad and I have agreed that he can't be kept waiting for long. Can I come back to see you later?"

Xie Ci gently took her right hand, patted the back of her hand and said, "I haven't had the pineapple gold leaf mousse yet."

That look was full of accusation, causing Mu Yao to feel overwhelmed with guilt.

"I'll do it for you in a minute." Mu Yao said with great confidence, feeling a headache in her heart. It was her fault for breaking her promise and not even fulfilling her husband's small request. She felt extremely ashamed.

Wei Wushang heard the conversation between the two clearly.

What is Pineapple Gold Leaf Mousse?

Mu Yao finally managed to coax Xie Ci away, and then tried to pull Wei Wushang over. When she saw that she couldn't move him, she asked in confusion, "Why aren't you leaving?"

Wei Wushang endured his distorted expression and said word by word through gritted teeth: "Woman, you ate my grilled fish twice, why don't you make me some pineapple gold leaf mousse?"

. . . . . .

She thought it was something serious, so she took his big hand and said with a smile: "Wushang, Aci is not like you, he can't leave Beiming at will. Just tell me what you want to eat in the future, and I will make delicious food for you every day."

He liked to hear this. In this way, he didn't think there was anything to argue with Xie Ci.

"Wushang, why are you wearing white clothes today?" Mu Yao stared at his new clothes curiously. Needless to say, he looked very good in them. He was originally elegant, and after dressing up like this, he looked even more humble, gentle, handsome and elegant, like the snow on the mountains, like the bright moon in the blue sky.

"I bought it specially for your dad." Wei Wushang replied casually. Mu Yao's father is Li Changan, the first strategist of Dayun. It's easy. You can pretend to be whatever he likes.

Mu Yao lowered her eyes and smiled secretly when she heard that, and held his hand even tighter.

Li Changan and Xie Bufan had just finished discussing their two children's marriages and were preparing to take a nap when they saw their daughter leading an unfamiliar young man into the "Yunjie Garden" with a smile on her face. Li Changan could not help but look closely at the young man in white robes.

"Dad, this is Wei Wushang." Mu Yao introduced with a smile.

"I'm Wei Wushang, the son-in-law, and I'm here to meet my father-in-law." Wei Wushang bowed and greeted him with a standard bow.

Li Changan paused, but thought there was nothing wrong with addressing him that way, so he pretended to smile amiably and said, "Good kids, come in and talk."

Mu Yao brewed tea smoothly, and from time to time secretly glanced at Wei Wushang, and saw him looking at his father with a smile on his face. That smile was both friendly and full of warmth, an expression Mu Yao had never seen before. She was distracted for a moment and didn't notice that the tea bowl was full of water. It was Wei Wushang who quickly lifted the teapot to prevent the hot water from splashing out.

Li Changan looked at this son-in-law Wei and couldn't help but doubt his life. Didn't my daughter say that he was the former Lord of Darkness? How come those who are engaged in this line of work nowadays don't show any murderous aura? The aura of the one in the Bloodthirsty Pavilion is obviously solemn. In his opinion, Wei Wushang fits the image of the best student in his mind. His eyes unconsciously softened, filled with endless love.

"My dear son-in-law looks very scholarly." Li Changan looked at him for a long time and said this.

With his father-in-law's affirmation, Wei Wushang felt relieved and said with a smile, "I have read a little bit of books since I was a child. Books contain people I want to meet and places I want to go. Every time I read them, I will have different insights. The more books I read, the more I can live a clearer and happier life."

Li Changan stroked his beard and pondered Wei Wushang's last words carefully.

"How old is my son-in-law this year?" he asked casually.

"I'm just in my thirties." Wei Wushang replied solemnly.

"It's rare to have such an understanding of life at this age." Li Changan praised generously. It's a pity that An Shang's two sons-in-law didn't pursue a career in politics. They are definitely the successors to the Minister of Rites!

"I heard from Yaoyao that you are a businessman. What exactly do you do?" Li Changan really wanted to recruit him into the government. If Wei Wushang didn't have a good future, he might as well train him well. The laws of Dayun were open-minded. Any man who married a Dayun woman could become a Dayun citizen if he was not a Dayun citizen. However, if he divorced his wife one day, his household registration would be automatically invalidated.

This question stumped Wei Wushang. When his parents were alive, they operated a wide variety of industries. Later, when they were competing with Shen Chutang, they sold most of their industries and stored them in three secret vaults. Each secret vault was fifty hectares in size. There were countless large treasures, golden nanmu boxes and red sandalwood boxes filled with various gold, silver and jewelry. There was no doubt that Shen Chutang had seized an empty shell of Anshang, and all the wealth accumulated by his parents throughout their lives was in his hands.

"My father-in-law, I am now engaged in the jewelry business." Wei Wushang thought about it and decided that this answer was more appropriate. At worst, he could go back and reopen a few jewelry stores.

Li Changan was very surprised. He thought that Wei Wushang, like Xu Qingcheng, would run a business such as the Four Treasures of the Study.

Since he was asked about his financial resources, Wei Wushang took out several thick stacks of land deeds and spread them all over the table. They involved a wide variety of shops and houses.

He bowed to Li Changan again and said, "Father-in-law, my parents died young, so I came here alone to propose marriage. Please forgive me. These are the deeds of Shangyun and some neighboring towns, totaling 1,867 households. They are my betrothal gifts to my wife. Please have a look at them, father-in-law. If you have any other requests, please let me know. I will definitely satisfy you."

Li Changan and Mu Yao's hearts skipped a beat, and they stared in amazement at the pile of white deeds stamped with big red seals.

Mu Yao swallowed her saliva and flipped through the pages one by one in disbelief.

Bali Street, Liuli Street, Baisui Street, Changdi Street... Countless place names jump into the eyes, among which Changdi Street has the most houses and shops.

Suddenly, Mu Yao saw a land deed, which clearly read No. 801 Changdi Street.

. . . Isn’t this the house next to the Prime Minister’s Residence?

Mu Yao looked at Wei Wushang in surprise: "This house is the residence of Lord Zhang from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It was purchased two years ago."

"Oh? Let me see it?" Upon hearing that, Li Changan immediately took the deed and looked at it with squinted eyes.

Wei Wushang said disapprovingly: "He sold the house to me these two days. I will live there from now on." He smiled faintly, feeling very proud. How difficult is this? He will move out obediently if he pays enough money. The money he gave was enough for Mr. Zhang to buy three houses of that size in the capital. When he threw out those large silver bills, Mr. Zhang vacated the land in half a day.

Mu Yao seemed to have thought of something, and asked hesitantly: "Wu... Wushang, have you... gone back to Shangjing to buy a house these days?"

Wei Wushang nodded heavily. If time was not tight, he would continue to buy.

Li Changan was completely stunned by the amount of money this son-in-law of Wei had spent. He repeatedly estimated the amount of silver he would need in his mind, but the number was too large and he made mistakes halfway through his estimate. Until now he has not figured out the answer.

Mu Yao felt that it was becoming difficult to breathe. She pulled Wei Wushang's hand and asked in horror, "Wushang, how much did you spend on these?" With such a large sum of money, he wouldn't have taken away all the ancestral property accumulated by his parents when they were alive, right? If so, these deeds would be too hot for her to handle.

Wei Wushang saw her surprised expression and smiled and comforted her, "Not much."

He didn't count exactly, but that day he came out of the store with a thick stack of banknotes. He was in a hurry when buying, so he just smashed them. The money his parents left him would last for several lifetimes, so he didn't have to worry about spending it all in this lifetime.

Wei Wushang was very satisfied with Mu Yao's expression. What do you think? Is he the richest among her husbands? Doesn't Yao Yao want to be the richest? Following him will definitely make it happen.

This kind of person, especially a high-ranking official like Li Changan who lives in the capital, has a persistent "love for his homeland" all his life.

Wei Wushang's arrogance struck him straight to the bottom of his heart, and brought out all the wishes and desires he had buried for his entire life. It was expected that no father-in-law would say "no" to this sincerity.

"Wushang, stay for dinner and have a drink with dad." Li Changan signaled Mu Yao to collect all the deeds. He had been more comfortable in Beiming these days than in Dayun. The gift list of the Southern Frontier Emperor yesterday and the gift list of the Xie family this morning were all sincere. However, Wei Wushang's betrothal gift had the greatest impact, after all, those white deeds were marked with "real money".

Seeing her father's reaction, Mu Yao gave Wei Wushang a thumbs up in her heart. The Jade Emperor was not as good as him in selling Yuanxiao. With a good husband at home, there is nothing to worry about. She thought she married a bronze man, but she didn't expect that he was a king. Her luck was like picking up a gold bar after falling down. It was amazing.

Li Changan and Wei Wushang got along very well, and Wei Wushang's drinking capacity was unmatched, which further satisfied Li Changan's heart.

After three rounds of drinks, the two men started playing chess while drunk.

Wei Wushang played chess with great vigor, and had no intention of giving in to his father-in-law. He won each game more vigorously than the last, and directly defeated Li Changan until he was drunk.

Xie Ci arranged a place for Wei Wushang to stay, but he didn't appreciate it and dragged Mu Yao to a nearby inn to stay for the night.

Fortunately, Mu Yao found time to finish the pineapple gold leaf mousse, and after saying hello to the other husbands, she hurriedly followed Wei Wushang out of the mansion. This husband now only had her as a relative, and Mu Yao decided to take him with her wherever she went in the future.
