The old woman didn't give her a good look, so she naturally wanted to get back at them.

There was nothing Mu Jinnian didn't understand when he saw the visiting card.

Suddenly his face turned blue and black, black and white, and he slammed the table and stood up.

He ordered outside, "Bring the young master to me."

The servant left in response. Mu Yunyao had no interest in watching him scold his son, so she spoke directly.

"If the Prime Minister has nothing else to do, I will return to Yunyuan first."

After saying that, he bowed slightly, and without waiting for Mu Jinnian to say anything, he turned around and left. Mu Jinnian was so angry that he smashed another teacup.

Mu Yunyao did not verify what happened in the front yard, but what happened in the front yard still reached her ears during dinner.

Who made her have Qingyun, who is good at finding out things, by her side?

"Master, the Prime Minister was furious today and ordered all the maids and servants in the eldest master's courtyard to be punished, and two months' salary was deducted from each of them."

Mu Yunyao didn't care. Mu Junsheng was his most proud son. No matter how angry he was, he would never really do anything to him. He would just let the people around him suffer the consequences.

What's more, Mu Junsheng's leg is broken now, so he can't be beaten.

"Oh, that's all?"

Mu Yunyao ate her meal while listening to Qingyun's gossip, occasionally responding.

"That's not all. The Prime Minister also forbade Mu Junsheng from seeing Chu Lier again. The eldest son didn't want to, so the Prime Minister slapped him in the face. His face is still swollen."

This surprised Mu Yunyao, as she thought Mu Jinnian would not touch Mu Junsheng.

It seems that the Li family has been causing him a lot of trouble recently.

Mu Yunyao finished her last bite, had the table cleared, and took a sip of tea to rinse her mouth before speaking.

"Chu Li'er has been resting for quite a while, and her injuries are almost healed. Let her work from tomorrow. We can't afford to keep someone idle here."

"Yes, master."

Qingyun responded, came up with a wicked smile and said, "Master, the woman who cleans the toilet in our courtyard is sick, and we haven't found a suitable person for this job. Why don't we let Chu Lier take over for the time being?"

Mu Yunyao glanced at her sideways, then slowly raised the corners of her lips.

Qingyun understood what she was thinking.

Compared to the disgusting things Chu Lier did to her in her previous life, just washing the toilet was too easy for her.

"Then let her take over. We can't mistreat servants in our courtyard. Since the old woman is sick, let's give her a half-month leave. When she recovers, we can give her a lighter job."

Qingyun also smiled widely, and thus, Chu Lier's job of cleaning the toilet was decided after the two of them discussed it.

Mu Yunyao fell asleep in a good mood that night, but she was unable to sleep soundly until dawn.

In the middle of the night, when she was having a sweet dream, a tall figure quietly stood at the head of her bed.

Mu Yunyao's eyelids moved. She was having a beautiful dream. Half asleep and half awake, she wanted to open her eyes to see if this was real, but she felt that her eyelids were as heavy as Mount Tai and she couldn't lift them up.

Little did she know that a slender finger was tracing her eyebrows and eyes.

The pair of eyes staring at her contained an indescribable meaning.

Even the person in front of me doesn't know how I feel about her.

And why did he visit her boudoir in the middle of the night and even use calming incense?

After about half a night, Mu Yunyao finally struggled out of her dream. When she opened her eyes again, she found something was wrong.

There is someone in the house.

"Who?"

Mu Yunyao sat up from the bed cautiously, and took the coat on the bedside and put it on.

The dagger under the pillow was already in her hand, and her movements were smooth and fluid.

Xiao Qianmo sighed inwardly, fortunately he was prepared, otherwise he would have a bloody hole on his body now.

Xiao Qianmo stopped pouring water for himself, stood up and walked towards the screen.

"I heard that Miss Mu spread rumors that I am the dream lover of many girls. I am curious whether I am the dream lover of Miss Mu."

Mu Yunyao's face instantly turned red when she heard the voice.

The person in my dream just now actually appeared in front of me and asked me if I dreamed about him. Is there anything more embarrassing than this?

If she wasn't conscious now, she might have suspected that this person had run out of her dream.

Thinking of this, Mu Yunyao suddenly paused. Could it be that she had just entered a second dream and was still in a dream?

Thinking of this, Mu Yunyao calmly reached under the quilt and pinched her thigh hard.

"hiss!"

Mu Yunyao gasped in pain, now she was sure that she was not dreaming.

Xiao Qianmo heard her gasp through the screen and his heart shuddered. He unconsciously took a step forward and wanted to go into the inner room to check, but he heard Mu Yunyao's mumbling.

"It turns out it wasn't a dream."

Xiao Qianmo breathed a sigh of relief, and a helpless yet doting smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

"Miss Mu, did you dream about me?"

Mu Yunyao finally realized that there was a living person in her room, and her toes curled up under the quilt in embarrassment.

Relying on the screen between the two of them, Xiao Qianmo couldn't see her expression and spoke with forced calmness.

"Lord Governor Xiao, you came here late at night just to see if I dreamed of you?"

Mu Yunyao's words made Xiao Qianmo feel embarrassed. After all, breaking into a woman's boudoir at night without a proper reason would be considered a lecherous act.

Xiao Qianmo was ashamed of his actions in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face.

"I don't need to explain to others what I want to do."

For some reason, when Mu Yunyao heard him say this, she remembered the scene of him running away in despair during the day, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"you……"

Mu Yunyao was laughing so hard that her body was shaking, but Xiao Qianmo's face was flushed with embarrassment.

He spat at her in anger.

"Shameless."

Mu Yunyao laughed even more happily this time.

"Haha, yes, yes, I just don't know shame, otherwise I would be so fond of Governor Xiao."

As Mu Yunyao said this, she had already put down the dagger in her hand, gathered her coat, got off the bed, and walked towards the outer room.

Xiao Qianmo watched her getting closer and closer to him, and his heart beat faster and faster along with her steps.

He always felt like his restless heart would jump out of his chest if he didn't calm it down.

Thinking of this, he actually raised his hand and pressed it on his chest.

His press caused Mu Yunyao to misunderstand.

"You are hurt?"

He walked out from behind the screen as fast as the wind, and the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a look of worry and heartache.

Xiao Qianmo just stared at her changing expression, completely unable to react.

It was not until a pair of soft, boneless hands pressed on his chest, trying to find the wound, that he reacted.

"The Governor is not injured."

As he spoke, he took a step back sheepishly, avoiding the hand that Mu Yunyao stretched out again.

Mu Yunyao only then realized that her previous action was a bit abrupt.
