Xu Qingcheng's mind was blank for a moment, and then it was filled with great joy and excitement. She couldn't help but blush at the corners of her eyes.

He learned how to control his emotions from a very young age.

His mother taught him: Don’t show your emotions on your face, don’t express your likes and dislikes. Don’t change your expression even if Mount Tai collapses in front of you, and don’t blink even if a deer appears on your left.

His father taught him: A son is like a mountain, majestic and upright; a son is like the sea, tolerant and open-minded. A good son is one with a strong character.

While he listened to his parents' teachings and cultivated his character, he also kept questioning himself.

"Why should a man of steel be subject to marriage restrictions?"

"Why would a man of steel share his wife with others?"

"Why would a man of steel endure everything, regardless of reason?"

"Why do strong men wear golden armor in hundreds of battles, and return home with their bodies wrapped in blood after experiencing life and death, while women are not guilty of crimes punishable by death or slavery?"

His parents told him: This is a punishment from God. It is a punishment for Yunqi's past crimes against women. Yunqi is now at a disadvantage and is destined to suffer many injustices. Compared with many other countries, the number of noble ladies in Dayun is considerable, so he should not be too obsessed.

Today, A Yao knew that he and Gu Huiran had an unspeakable entanglement, but she still chose to stand up and save him from despair, help him clear his name, and seek justice for him. A Yao obviously... obviously didn't have to do this. She had always covered herself up well, but now she looked like this. What virtue did Xu Qingcheng have? "

All the grievances, emotions, sorrows, and joys came at him like a huge wave. He could no longer suppress his emotions and buried his face deeply in Mu Yao's hair.

Mu Yao touched his hair lovingly. This was the first time she saw Xu Qingcheng so fragile and helpless. Her warm breath fell on Xu Qingcheng's ears, and Xu Qingcheng's fluctuating heart gradually calmed down.

"Master Wang?"

Mu Yao couldn't help feeling a little angry when she saw Wang Yanzhi staring at her for a long time without saying anything.

Wang Yanzhi's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he immediately returned to his usual coldness: "What Miss Gu of Huaiyang Marquis's Mansion has committed today are all serious crimes. According to the law, she will be stripped of her title of princess, demoted to a commoner, and exiled 3,000 miles to the northern border, and she will not be allowed to leave for the rest of her life. Huaiyang Marquis's Mansion neglected discipline and caused a great disaster. All the losses Miss Mu complained about will be borne by Huaiyang Marquis' Mansion. Please let me know the specific amount after you have thought it through. I will report it to the emperor, and he will make the final decision."

Mu Yao stroked the corner of her clothes with her fingers, stared at Wang Yanzhi for a moment, then retracted her gaze and leaned forward slightly: "Mu Yao thanks Lord Wang."

Gu Huiran fainted after hearing Wang Yanzhi's verdict. The husbands behind her were pale. The wife was exiled to the northern border, and according to the law, they should also be punished. The wife of the Marquis of Huaiyang had already collapsed, and Gu Kanzhi desperately supported her in an attempt to save the last bit of face.

There was still a deep silence around, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Mu Yao. They still looked dazed long after Mu Yao and the others left.

When Mu Yao left "Shuiyunjian", she met Wang Yanzhi at the door and confirmed with him. She was a little worried whether something would happen when the matter came to Emperor Qingyuan. She was unsure about the amount of compensation. If she wanted to bankrupt and liquidate the Huaiyang Marquisate, would it be feasible? "

Wang Yanzhi suddenly laughed, and Mu Yao was surprised for several seconds.

Although his smile was as clear as the breeze and bright moon, handsome and incomparable, Mu Yao felt a chill blowing against her face.

Wang Yanzhi dispelled her doubts in a concise and clear manner, and Mu Yao's heart was relieved.

Today was full of ups and downs. From extreme joy to sorrow, and then to good times after bad times, it was like riding a roller coaster.

The original expenses for restaurant promotion can also be saved. In the words of her original world, it is a foregone conclusion that "Shuiyunjian" will become a popular check-in spot in Beijing - there is no way around it.

Mu Yao returned to Xu's house with Xu Qingcheng, the eldest princess, and Xu Ruchen. When she left, two extremely fiery gazes followed the carriage as it went farther and farther away.

Along the way, the eldest princess held her hand tightly and cried with joy, sobbing uncontrollably, and repeatedly said "Thank you! Thank you!" She and Xu Qingcheng kept comforting her in soft voices.

Prime Minister Xu was filled with emotion. Although he was already past the age of knowing his destiny, he was envious of his youngest son for finding such a satisfactory wife! The eldest princess and he had been together for decades, and they had a deep relationship and respected each other, but compared to A Yao's love for Qingcheng, he felt a big gap in his heart. There was no other noble lady like this in the entire Yunqi!

Although most wives of the royal family and high-ranking officials in Dayun have only one husband, this is obviously impossible for Mu Yao.

Such a beautiful woman would be fought over by all the men in the world. Qingcheng will be under great pressure in the future, and I don't know how long he can hold on. He quickly said, "Ayao, you and Qingcheng's marriage must be scheduled as soon as possible. When do you think your aunt and I will go to your house to propose marriage?"

The eldest princess instantly perked up and asked lovingly, "Look at me, I'm crying with joy. Ah Yao, where is your family? Who are your family members? We must prepare quickly and go to propose marriage as soon as possible." Normally, a matchmaker would be sent to make contact first. Mu Yao was the great benefactor of the Xu family, and she was such a stunning beauty, so they must go together to show their sincerity and also want to see what kind of family could raise such an outstanding daughter.

Seeing her parents speak so quickly, Xu Qingcheng quickly replied, "Ayao is from Dongtai County. It takes three months to get there by horse. The Duke of England has ten thousand-mile horses. I wonder..."

Xu Yuanming understood: "No problem, I'll send someone to deliver a visiting card later. Ruchen, come with me, and you can meet Miss Shen. Our two families are interested in each other, and your brother's leg Ayao has been cured, so you should pay attention to your own marriage."

Xu Ruchen's eyes were filled with desolation. He should have been very happy.

Mu Yao leaned against Xu Qingcheng and bowed her head in silence: Is it too late to go back to Dongtai County and buy a mansion? Or find a few people to pretend to be parents? Oh no, she doesn't seem to have a household registration yet!

She felt her eyes go dark now. What she feared was what came true. If she had said that she had no relatives, that her master had raised her, and that the old man had passed away, she would have been homeless.

Xu Qingcheng became very nervous when he saw A Yao didn't say anything: "A Yao?" He called Mu Yao softly, fearing that Mu Yao would change her mind and no longer want him.

Mu Yao calmed down and smiled: "It's a long journey. My uncle and aunt are old. Will it be too much trouble?"

The princess was about to speak when the carriage slowly stopped. The attendant said, "Prime Minister, Madam, we have arrived."

Mu Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Yuanming said: "No hurry, wait until I come back and we will discuss it in detail and implement it as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yao's eyebrows, which had just relaxed, slowly twisted back again.

After entering the house, she ignored everyone's empty eyes and dragged Xu Qingcheng into the room. The intimate action made him breathe heavily, and his eyes were filled with endless darkness. The girl's body temperature in his palm made him indulge, and the cold fragrance of the gardenia that came over him overdrew his reason. Staring at A Yao's face that was so beautiful that it could make fish sink to the bottom of the water, geese fall to the ground, and the moon hide in shame, he felt that some thoughts in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

His mind was full of questions: What does A Yao want to do? Or does he want me to do something?

As a result, Mu Yao said a lot of heartfelt words to him, but he didn't hear them clearly.

Seeing Xu Qingcheng's lack of reaction, Mu Yao felt even more guilty. Did Brother Xu not believe what she said? Or was he angry?

Mu Yao called Xu Qingcheng a few more times before Xu Qingcheng came back to her senses.

"Ayao, did you just say..." Xu Qingcheng motioned for Mu Yao to continue.

Mu Yao said again: "Yes, Brother Xu, you heard it right, I don't have a household registration here, and I don't have any relatives."

"Not from Dongtai County either?" Xu Qingcheng quickly digested Mu Yao's words.

"Yes. I had a head injury before, and when I woke up, I was already in the woods behind the mountain in Huaxi Village. It took me a long time to get out, and then I went to Yangming Town and met you. I don't remember a lot of things, I have no impression at all."

Xu Qingcheng nervously held up her head and carefully examined it. Seeing that there was no external injury, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Does your head still hurt?"

Mu Yao shook her head: "Brother Xu, don't worry."

"Do you still remember who hurt you?" Xu Qingcheng's eyes flashed with cruelty when she thought of someone hurting Mu Yao.

Mu Yao felt the chill emanating from Xu Qingcheng, and nervously hugged his waist and buried her head in his chest. Only in this way could she avoid being looked directly at by him.

She took a deep breath in Xu Qingcheng's arms. The pleasant scent of cedar was elegant and pleasant, making her more and more attached to it.

"No one should have hurt me, maybe I bumped into something." Mu Yao told the truth this time, she really bumped into a tree.

"Brother Xu, my uncle and aunt are going to my house to propose marriage..." Before he finished speaking, Xu Qingcheng had already held her cheeks and deeply absorbed her sweetness. Their breaths intertwined, their lips lingering. Mu Yao only felt that Xu Qingcheng's plunder was strong and intense, like the brandy of Bordeaux Redis, which was as wild as a beast in the jungle, hot and unrestrained. I don't know how long it took before he let her go. Seeing A Yao's beautiful eyes sparkling and her cheeks flushed, just like a lotus in the autumn rain, Xu Qingcheng's throat rolled, and he approached again to taste her fragrance.

After the storm, she felt ashamed and annoyed, biting her lips and said coquettishly: "My first kiss is gone!"

Xu Qingcheng's heart was shocked and her mind went blank.

"Ayao, what did you just say? Say it again."

Mu Yao was so angry that she crashed into his arms.

Xu Qingcheng obviously didn't expect A Yao to do this. She staggered and hit the door frame behind her.

Mu Yao heard the noise and asked nervously with regret: "Brother Xu, how are you? Are you hurt anywhere?"

Xu Qingcheng hugged her shoulders tightly with excitement: "Ayao, what you mean is... yes..."

"What is it?" Mu Yao asked doubtfully.

"That is... Do you remember if you have a husband or a servant at home..." He didn't dare to continue, and suddenly regretted it. A Yao knew everything about him and Gu Huiran... He shouldn't be greedy anymore.

"Xu Qingcheng! What are you thinking about! If I have a husband, can it still be called a first kiss? You... what do you mean?" Mu Yao raised her voice excitedly.

She was really angry! How could you ask this after just having sex? How shameless!

Xu Qingcheng's eyes were red, and he hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood. With a wife like this, what else could a husband ask for! The four red lips were tightly bitten together, as if they were going through the end of time.

After a long while, the two reluctantly separated. Xu Qingcheng tried to calm her breath and tucked the loose hair on Mu Yao's forehead behind her ears: "Don't worry about the household registration and marriage proposal, just leave it to me."

"Ayao, you know that many girls here have servants and husbands before they reach the age of 12. Only after they reach the age of 12 will their families choose a suitable husband for them. Girls as beautiful and pure as Ayao are almost non-existent. I don't mean to question you, I'm just too happy!"

Mu Yao was quite surprised. He already had this disease before he even reached college age... He already had this disease...? This... is not good for his health.

"Ayao, I'm going to take care of some things now and will be back before dinner. If you feel bored, go to the attic in the backyard of my inner room." As he said this, he took off a key made of pure jade from his neck.

"That attic is my private vault, where I store the treasures I have collected over the years. If you find anything that catches your eye, use it. This key is yours from now on, and the things inside are also yours. You can do with them however you want."

Xu Qingcheng's words immediately brought Mu Yao's wandering thoughts back.

Happiness came too suddenly. She stroked the key in her hand, and her chest felt sore and swollen.

When a man falls completely in love with a woman, he will give all his wealth to her.

I used to think this sounded a bit cheesy, but now I find it extremely sweet.

After Xu Qingcheng said goodbye to Mu Yao, she went to Li Taifu's house. As luck would have it, Minister Xu was also there.

Before he even reached the main hall, the two elders had already come to greet him impatiently. Without waiting for him to greet them, they were pressed to their seats and bombarded with words one after another.

Tutor Li and Minister Xu were so excited!

Mu Xiaoyou is a noble lady! Mu Xiaoyou is Mr. Wu Liu! Mu Xiaoyou is a miracle doctor! Mu Xiaoyou also opened a big restaurant with delicious food!

What's even more rare is that Mu Xiaoyou doesn't look like an ordinary person. Such beauty is only found in heaven, and it's rare to see it on earth. They didn't dare to look at her directly in the "Wenxian Pavilion" today, she was so beautiful! They are old, they can't stand it!

The most precious thing is her heroic act of protecting Qingcheng today. Her actions are sonorous and powerful, and her words are deafening. She can be called the first noble lady of Dayun, no, she should be the first noble lady of Yunqi.

"Qingcheng, you are so lucky. You must hurry up and marry your husband!" Tutor Li wanted to say one more sentence, "Soon there will be countless men competing with you for the throne!" But after thinking about it, he decided not to say it and held it back.

Minister Xu had a lot on his mind. Parents are pitiful. He still has a younger son, Xu Yan, who is still looking for a marriage partner. He was torn in his heart. On the one hand, he had taken a fancy to Mu Yao, and on the other hand, it was difficult to ask for it. After thinking about it, a few hairs turned white.

Xu Qingcheng was in a hurry to get down to business, and was worried that she couldn't get a word in. Since the teacher mentioned it, she continued, "Teacher, I have something I want to ask you for help."

Master Li was a little surprised. After Xu Qingcheng told him the whole story and what she wanted, Master Li stroked his white beard and asked, "Does she know that you want me to take Mu Xiaoyou as my adopted daughter?"

Xu Qingcheng choked. Seeing him hesitating, Li Taifu said, "I am alone and have no worries. It is a great fortune for me to have a daughter after I am over 60, especially one like Mu Xiaoyou. I am afraid she has other ideas. If she has no worries, I will gladly agree!" He laughed loudly. If this really happened, he would have something to show off. He glanced at Minister Xu again, and sure enough! The old man was staring at him with a sour look on his face.
