After breakfast, Mu Yao returned to "Quxi Garden" and chose a reed-colored fence, which was in line with the theme of today's stroll in the mountains.

Xie Ci came quietly and put his arms around her waist from behind. Looking at the two figures in the gilded bronze mirror, he was dazed for a moment. How wonderful it would be if they could stay together like this forever.

"Let's go, I'll take you there." Xie Ci said calmly with clear eyes.

How can that work!

Mu Yao was immediately flustered when she heard this. She turned around and hugged his slender neck, saying softly, "Uncle Miao, just send me off. Today we are hosting a banquet for the new emperor of Southern Xinjiang. Why don't you go to the palace first? I promise to be back before the hour of You, so as not to delay the time."

Xie Ci sighed: "Come back early, the palace banquet is not like home, eat something to fill your stomach before entering the palace."

He calmly arranged Mu Yao's veil and asked in a loud voice, "Shen Chutang is very skilled in martial arts. Who is he?"

. . . . . .

Seeing that Mu Yao didn't say anything, Xie Ci paused with his fingertips and looked at her suspiciously. When he saw her shaking her head slightly, his handsome face suddenly darkened.

"You're going to marry him without knowing his identity?" Xie Ci confirmed with Mu Yao again, his eyes filled with confusion.

Xie Ci's questioning made Mu Yao's chest feel tight, and she seemed to be having trouble breathing. She hadn't had time to ask yet.

After taking a look at the sky, he thought for a moment and said, "He is a businessman who runs a tea business." Mu Yao remembered that Shen Chutang had told her last night that the "Chaolu Tea House" was his.

"Do you believe it?" Xie Ci's face was solemn and he asked very seriously.

How could a tea merchant have such high martial arts skills? Was it that Yaoyao didn't want to tell him or was she really ignorant? He suddenly became a little worried about Mu Yao. For the first time, he discovered that his wife had such a simple side. Could it be that Shen Chutang had used some tricks to make Mu Yao choose him without hesitation?

Seeing Xie Ci's cautious and questioning look, Mu Yao lifted the veil, put it aside, stared at him and said seriously: "Ah Ci, there is no need to sigh about the depth of fate. Shen Chutang and I met unintentionally, but it was destined to be together for a lifetime. No matter how long the river flows or how thousands of years pass, we swear to share the vinegar and ink of the world, through the autumn moon and the spring breeze. The same goes for you, Brother Xu and Ah Yun. So don't worry about me."

Xie Ci stared at Mu Yao intently, his fingers running through her long black hair that fell on her shoulders. With a smile on his face, he said in a hoarse voice, "Yaoyao, after the Hundred Flowers Banquet is over, I will take you back to see Grandpa. He will definitely be very happy to see you."

Mu Yao nodded happily, but asked with a little doubt: "Aci, do you want to meet your parents too?"

Xie Ci paused as his fingertips weaving through the black hair. He stared at Mu Yao and said calmly, "My parents are long gone. I was raised by my grandfather. My family is ranked first among the imperial merchants in Beiming. My grandfather is the head of the family. He is already seventy-six years old this year."

Mu Yao's expression froze and she hugged him tightly with heartache.

Xie Ci smiled softly and stroked her beautiful back, saying, "It's nothing, I've let it go a long time ago. My mother had a difficult birth and passed away before I even saw her. My father fell ill and died two years later. But my grandfather and the elders in the clan were very kind to me, and my brothers also took good care of me, so I lived a comfortable and happy life. But after I entered the officialdom, I suffered a lot and endured a lot of hardships."

Hearing this, Mu Yao hugged him tighter and said distressedly, "All roads lead to Rome. Do you want to do business with me?"

"Where is Rome?" Xie Ci asked puzzledly.

"Success. Rome is the destination of success." Mu Yao explained.

Xie Ci pecked her cheek fiercely and smiled softly, "I don't want to do business. I just want to take Yaoyao back to the mountains one day and live a carefree life like a god."

Perhaps knowing that it was just wishful thinking, he lowered his eyes and put the veil back on Mu Yao, carefully covering her tightly again.

A beautiful woman never belongs to one man alone, let alone one like his wife?

With his status, he could have been monogamous, but he chose Mu Yao.

Just like she said: Don't sigh at the depth of fate, meeting is unintentional, it is destined.

Looking around the world, I believe that any unmarried man will fall in love with Mu Yao at first sight, fall in love with her at second sight, and be together for life after the third sight.

Morning Dew Tea House

Simple and elegant, with flying eaves and upturned corners.

As soon as you enter the door, the rich aroma of tea hits your nose, making you feel peaceful.

"Madam, you are here!" Ji Chuchen saw Mu Yao, who had a graceful figure, a veil on her head, and an extraordinary temperament. She looked exactly like the lady described by his master, so he immediately greeted her with a smile.

What a handsome man!

Mu Yao saw a young man jogging towards her with a bright smile on his face, looking very friendly.

"Hello, may I ask who you are..." Mu Yao asked kindly.

"My name is Ji Chuchen, and I'm the shopkeeper here. The master is waiting for you upstairs. I'll take you upstairs right now." Ji Chuchen said enthusiastically.

He looked at Mu Yao secretly. No wonder the master had become easier to talk to recently and gave them a lot more commission for their orders. Look at the lady's lotus steps and her graceful figure. Oh, my, my, my sin. How could he imagine these things at will!

Mu Yao looked around. The teahouse was only two stories high, but it covered a large area. It was very spacious and had many compartments. It was still early, so there were not many guests in the teahouse.

Walking up to the second floor, she saw several rooms in the backyard and thought that Shen Chutang probably lived there.

As she was walking through the corridor, a young man with a heroic spirit just walked out of a pavilion at the end and passed by her. Mu Yao always felt that she had seen his eyes somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where.

Jin Yan paused, turned around and looked at the figure's back, as if thinking about something.

When Ji Chuchen returned, Jin Yanhui stopped him and asked, "Master Ji, who was that noble lady just now?"

Ji Chuchen patted Jin Yanhui's shoulder and said with a sinister look: "Master Jin, that is the master's future wife, don't think too much."

Jin Yanhui's face darkened and he replied bluntly: "Ji Chuchen, do you think everyone is like you, with a head full of dirty things? If you want to fight, then fight. Jin is here to accompany you!" What's so great about it? Didn't he just become a Venerable after defeating him last time? Even someone like him is at the bottom among the ten Venerables. Why is he so arrogant!

"You!" Ji Chuchen really felt like doing something. If they weren't in the teahouse, he would have taught him a lesson long ago.

The two parted unhappily.

Jin Yan recalled the stunning glimpse he had that night and felt his heart itching. A faint blush unconsciously appeared on his handsome face.
