"Little one, did you say something wrong?" Wen Xiaowu looked at the smile and asked with some uncertainty in his heart.

Xue Wenyu turned his head and looked at his wife who was excitedly tying her sleeves with Nanzhu, and then he responded to Wen Xiaowu, "You already know her past situation. Back then, she was able to spend three years safely with a child in the dangerous Youcheng. Later, she was with us outside the capital without any danger.

Later, the Black Bat Gang also appeared.

Until now, there are my people in the open, your Shadowless Sect, and in the dark, there are the Black Bat Gang.

Are you worried that none of us three can protect her and something will happen to her?

"No." Wen Xiaowu became anxious when he heard it.

To protect her, only the people from the Shadowless Sect were enough. How could it be that even with all three parties present, they were still so useless?

In his anxiety, his voice became higher, and Xue Wenyu's eyes widened.

Wen Xiaowu looked towards his wife reflexively, and saw that she was indeed looking at him. He quickly smiled and waved to her, indicating that nothing was wrong here.

When Wen Xiaowu saw his wife continuing to work with Nanzhu, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned around, just in time to see the Duke smiling with contempt.

"Meh, why bother? Why do you have to find a sect leader? Do you like being controlled by others? Is this considered self-abuse?" Xue Wenyu sighed sympathetically.

Upon hearing this, Wen Xiaowu rolled his eyes at the Duke and said, "Duke, don't laugh at others for being too good. How much better are you than us? If you had divorced your wife and married any other woman, I believe you would have many wives and concubines now.

But, Duke, look at you now. People outside say that you, the wise and powerful Duke, are henpecked. Don’t you know that?"

Come on, let's hurt each other! It's not that I don't respect you, it's you who forced me to do it!

We were originally disciples of the Shadowless Sect. After several generations, we finally got the Sect Master. No one will laugh at this. On the contrary, everyone admires us!

But, Lord Guo, you have a distinguished family background and many military achievements.

How could he surrender to a little girl?

Yes, there are henpecked men in the world, but they are a very special minority after all.

Sometimes, it is because the woman's family is powerful or wealthy, and the man has to rely on his father-in-law's family for a living, so he has no choice but to be henpecked.

There is another type, that is, the man himself is a weak and incompetent loser.

A situation like yours, Duke, is really rare!

Wen Xiaowu's few words immediately captured Xue Wenyu's heart.

"Do you want me to remind you that she hasn't officially become your sect leader yet?" Xue Wenyu warned with a sneer.

If you offend him and interfere, then you will become the leader of the Shadowless Sect? Haha, sorry, you guys should just wait for a few more generations!

This threatening warning actually worked, and Wen Xiaowu put out the fire immediately.

You have to accept it even if you are not convinced. Yes, Madam is this man's wife. If he really deliberately obstructs her, then it would be a bit mysterious for Madam to be the leader of the sect.

"Yes, yes, yes, Your Majesty is right. I was just joking with Your Majesty. Oh, Your Majesty, it seems like your Madam is calling you." Wen Xiaowu was completely different now.

Hearing his wife calling him, Xue Wenyu didn't bother to argue with him and walked towards his wife.

"Let's take Nanzhu along. She hasn't drawn Mushroom yet." Mu Yingbao discussed with Xue Wenyu.

In fact, according to her, there is no need to ask for his opinion.

However, Nanzhu said that she would not dare to follow her master into the woods without his approval.

Nanzhu felt that her master wished to be alone with his wife all day long, and if she went with him, her master would feel that she was in the way and would be unhappy.

"Then go ahead. You teach her carefully. Don't let her be careless and find the poisonous mushrooms and bring us down." Xue Wenyu saw his wife's happy look, and even the tension between him and Wen Xiaowu just now disappeared.

Mu Yingbao glared at him when he heard that. "Go away, it's not that exaggerated. In fact, I'm still worried about your drawing. You make it sound like you've drawn it so many times that you can tell the difference."

"Of course I can tell them apart. What's called a kick-leg mushroom and what's called a coffin lid?" Xue Wenyu said proudly. In fact, these were all what she taught him last year.

However, before cooking, Mu Yingbao was still worried and checked every mushroom personally.

That time was not bad, there was not a single poisonous mushroom.

However, the time I painted mushrooms, I was on my way back to the capital, and the picking season had already passed, so I only painted enough to fill the bottom of a bamboo basket.

"Look at what you are capable of, Nanzhu. Let's go and ignore him." Mu Yingbao gestured to Nanzhu to carry a bamboo basket, and took Nanzhu's arm and walked into the woods.

Nanzhu took a few steps and turned to look at her master in embarrassment. Seeing that her master didn't look angry, but just a little helpless, Nanzhu breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the woods with her wife at ease.

"Nanzhu, let me tell you, you can't eat mushrooms just because they look pretty. The more beautiful and colorful they are, the less edible they are. You will find that some mushrooms can be eaten by worms.

And some have no bugs to eat. "Mu Yingbao taught as they walked.

Nanzhu nodded; "Oh, I understand. Insects that are edible are not poisonous, so we humans can eat them."

"Yes, Nanzhu, you are really smart. You understand everything at once." Mu Yingbao praised.

Nanzhu tilted her head and said, "Madam, how can that insect be so smart as to know which mushrooms are poisonous and which are not?"

"But, silly girl, some creatures are very sensitive to smells." Mu Yingbao said with a smile.

We walked into the woods while spreading the topic about mushrooms.

The forest was by the roadside, and they had to climb a small slope. Xue Wenyu looked at the two people in front of him who were walking and chatting, and followed them closely out of concern.

Except for those who were setting up tents and collecting firewood to build stoves, all the subordinates were responsible for guarding the perimeter of the woods.

There were only six men following Xue Wenyu and the other two into the woods, and they didn't dare to get too close.

They all followed their two masters out of the Zhao Clan, and they knew their masters' preferences very well. They didn't like anyone getting in their way!

Seeing that Nanzhu is always by his wife's side and the wife-protecting man follows behind, everyone is worried about Nanzhu.

This girl usually looks quite smart, what's wrong with her now? Isn't she afraid that her master will bear a grudge against her and make things difficult for her later?

"Oh, Xue Wenyu." The people behind were worrying about the innocent Nanzhu, when they suddenly heard a scream from the lady in front.

Xue Wenyu himself also heard it, and he took a few nervous breaths and leaped to her side.
