Men are superior to women: the heartthrob in Yunqi

The aroma of tea still lingers in the elegant pavilion.

Shen Chutang, dressed in a black robe, stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance with unclear thoughts.

"Chu Tang." Mu Yao took off the veil and called softly.

This was the first time she saw Shen Chutang wearing a dark robe. His natural elegance and majesty were fully revealed, making Mu Yao dazed for a moment, as if she had an indescribable sense of strangeness.

Shen Chutang looked back and walked closer, put his arm around Mu Yao's waist, and gently stroked her hair with one hand.

"Have you had breakfast?" he asked gently, his concerned eyes were like the breeze outside the window, soothing her originally uneasy heart.

"Yeah." Mu Yao nodded obediently. Then, she was held in his arms with a pleasant laugh.

Shen Chutang rested his chin on her hair, his eyes half closed, enjoying this moment of comfort.

Mu Yao leaned on the broad chest, her nose filled with the faint fragrance of tea. Today, the house was lit with gardenia incense, and the two scents intertwined with each other, surprisingly without any contradiction.

She could clearly hear Shen Chutang's strong heartbeat. The regular rhythm made her eyes gradually become lazy and distracted, and she closed her eyes unconsciously.

She wanted to hold him like this forever, and couldn't help but tighten her arms around his waist, letting out a comfortable moan.

"What is your relationship with Wei Wushang?" Shen Chutang asked suddenly without any warning.

Mu Yao opened her eyes in shock, and all her tiredness disappeared. She was terrified and wanted to leave Shen Chutang's arms, but he held her tightly and she couldn't move.

"What's the relationship?" Shen Chutang asked again. He didn't dare to look Mu Yao in the eye, fearing that he wouldn't be able to be ruthless.

Last night he saw with his own eyes Wei Wushang sending Mu Yao back to the Imperial Master’s residence.

I fought him. Ha! His strength has improved again, but the Red Dove poison can't do anything to him. Why, why is this!

Mu Yao bit her lower lip tightly, her body trembling slightly because of her guilty conscience. All the words were stuck in her throat and turned into endless silence.

Shen Chutang sensed her uneasiness, suppressed his disappointment, and stroked her beautiful back, gently stroking along her spine from top to bottom.

Mu Yao held her breath, and took a deep breath again when she was on the verge of suffocation. She answered truthfully in one breath: "Wei Wushang is also my husband. He saved me yesterday."

Deathly silence enveloped the entire Accord, making it hard to breathe.

"I'll go get some snacks." Shen Chutang let go of Mu Yao and said calmly.

His back - tall, upright, lonely and broken.

Mu Yao stood there quietly with her pale lips trembling.

The fruit cakes at Chaolu Tea House are very unique. The cake body is carved with exquisite bird patterns, and is dotted with a few camellia-shaped dragon fruits, which contrast red and green and look very beautiful.

Shen Chutang pointed at the plate of green pastries and said, "This is a new dish I came up with recently. It combines green tea and milk and is called 'Lantiao'.

Mu Yao was unsure of what he meant, so she kept silent, picked up the fruit fork, scooped up a piece, and tasted it carefully.

Shen Chutang has a unique understanding of tea. This fruit dessert is beautiful in both appearance and taste. The perfect milky and sweet taste, coupled with the fresh tea fragrance, exudes a strong spring atmosphere.

Mu Yao really liked this "Lantiao" dish, and her mood seemed to have eased a little. She raised her eyes inadvertently and met Shen Chutang's eyes, but those eyes seemed to no longer have the usual spirit, but were filled with heaviness.

"Is it delicious?" Shen Chutang asked.

"It's delicious. I like it very much." Mu Yao followed his words, but her thoughts had already drifted away.

Before a storm comes, the sea is always unusually calm.

The calmer Shen Chutang was, the more uneasy Mu Yao became.

"Last night I saw Wei Wushang sending you back to the Imperial Master's Mansion. Were you the one who cured him of the Red Dove Poison?" Shen Chutang asked directly.

Mu Yao picked up the teacup and held it in her palm, turning it slowly.

Seeing that she did not deny it, Shen Chutang's expression seemed to be out of control, and he continued: "For many years, I have been hunting him down."

His eyes were hard to read, but Mu Yao saw through the forbearance in them and nodded slightly, saying, "Wei Wushang told me yesterday."

"Then do you know why I am hunting him? Do you believe him?" There seemed to be a sense of anxiety filling Shen Chutang's heart, causing him to feel a sense of insecurity he had never felt before.

Everything that happened today was too sudden. Mu Yao was not prepared for any response at all. It was as if the space around her became distorted, and a sense of oppression like a tide pressed down from above her head layer by layer.

Mu Yao sighed in her heart, thinking that she must move this heart stone today. She turned to look at him intently and said solemnly: "Everyone says that there are many evil spirits in Anshang, and the Lord of Anshang is the worst of the evil, but I think you are far-sighted and kind to others. Everyone is afraid of Anshang and stays away from it, but I am willing to entrust my life to you and marry you. Because I never over-trust or rely on any appearance, I prefer to feel with my heart and find evidence to prove everything."

Mu Yao's words seemed to have touched Shen Chutang's nerves. His eyes were no longer calm and peaceful.

After a long while, Shen Chutang said softly, "Let me think about it. I'll have someone send you back first."

After leaving the "Chaolu Tea House", she stopped and looked back at the elegant pavilion. Through the gaps in the carved lattices, she could see Shen Chutang's back still sitting there.

Seeing that Mu Yao was in a low mood, Ji Chuchen did not dare to disturb her. The two of them returned to the Imperial Master's residence in silence, only to see many carriages and horses parked at the door.

Helian Yun and Xu Qingcheng and Wang Yanzhi's teams arrived almost at the same time, and the chief steward Miao Guan was greeting them warmly.

"Brother Xu! A Yun!" Mu Yao was overjoyed and could hardly believe her eyes. She instantly ran over and threw herself into Xu Qingcheng's arms.

The person in his arms seemed so unreal. Xu Qingcheng held his breath and hugged his new wife tightly with trembling arms, fearing that he would lose her again by accident.

"Ayao." Xu Qingcheng called her softly. All her worries and concerns were completely released at this moment.

Helian Yun saw the two of them hugging each other, and his eyes revealed a deep sense of loss. Thinking that he was no longer qualified to compete with Xu Qingcheng, his mixed emotions gradually calmed down. He looked away, trying not to let his eyes fall on them, but in return he attracted more attention.

Mu Yao had already noticed Ah Yun's disappointment. She let go of Xu Qingcheng a little, leaned towards Helian Yun, and said with tenderness in her eyes, "Ah Yun, let's go in and talk together."

Suddenly, she noticed that there was a person standing at the rear of the car, and she was shocked to find that it was Wang Yanzhi, the Minister of Dali Temple.

Mu Yao looked at him in surprise and said, "Master Wang, why are you here?"

The word "Sir Wang" completely froze Wang Yanzhi's heart.

Yes, why did he come? What qualifications did he have to be here? It turned out that it was such a luxury for her to call him "Shao You".

"I have come here on the emperor's orders to help find your lady." Wang Yanzhi bowed and replied expressionlessly.

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Mu Yao was stunned when she saw Wang Yanzhi's tone suddenly become distant. Before she had time to think about it, Xu Qingcheng hugged her and led her into the mansion.

Ji Chuchen saw their every move clearly in the dark. The one called "Big Brother Xu" was most likely the wife's legal husband, and he looked unfair to the master. There was also a man called "Ayun", who was quite good-looking and could compete with the master.

Unexpectedly, these people arrived much earlier than expected, so he had to hurry back to inform his master.
