Chapter 35: Spoiling His Wife Without Limit

Mu Chenye was startled, but a moment later he noticed the probing in Gu Yunlan’s eyes.

He smiled calmly: “Third Young Master’s wife, what are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

“You have the scent of medicine on you, this herb smell is the medicine I prescribed for my husband.” Gu Yunlan’s eyes were filled with certainty: “And your hand.”

She turned Mu Chenye’s hand over: “The needle marks on your hand are also the traces of acupuncture I gave my husband before. You are my husband, Mu Chenye!”

As she spoke, she reached out to take off the lion mask on Mu Chenye’s face.

Mu Chenye quickly stepped back, smiling: “Third Young Master’s wife, you’re joking, I have something to do, I won’t keep you company.”

Then, he flipped over and slipped out of the window.

Gu Yunlan stomped her foot, very annoyed.

Although she had some martial arts skills, light kung fu was lost in the future, she didn’t know it, so she couldn’t catch up to him.

But her husband didn’t know martial arts, was that person just now really Mu Chenye?

Gu Yunlan had a few more doubts in her heart.

“Third Young Master’s wife, you’re overthinking, if our master was Third Young Master Mu, why would he need to wear a mask and avoid seeing you?” The fox smiled and smoothed things over: “He has this scent of medicine because he knows Third Young Master Mu, and he went to visit him.”

“Then the needle marks…” Gu Yunlan frowned.

“Our master and Third Young Master Mu are friends, he saw needle marks on his hand, he was just playing around with them.” The fox made up a story.

Gu Yunlan didn’t believe it, but Mu Chenye was no longer there, she couldn’t verify it, she could only grit her teeth and snort coldly: “If I find out that Mu Chenye dares to deceive me, humph…”

The coldness in her words made the fox shiver.

He gave the silver wolf a look, the silver wolf immediately brought over the packed tea leaves, the fox smiled ingratiatingly: “Third Young Master’s wife, you’re also our boss now, take this tea and drink it, if you need anything, just come to Yao Yue Tower and find us.”

“Alright.” Gu Yunlan didn’t dwell on it anymore, she took the tea leaves and left gracefully.

The fox breathed a sigh of relief, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead: “I got away with it. The mistress seems smart, but she’s not that smart!”

“Do you really think you got away with it?” The silver wolf sneered: “From the beginning, our mistress has been as clear as day.”

“Ah?” The fox was a little stunned.

“When has our Yao Yue Tower ever lacked business? Master so easily gave up one percent of the profit, as if he was giving away money for free, the mistress couldn’t help but be suspicious. Shaking hands with our master just now was also a test.” The silver wolf rarely talked so much, there was no other reason, he thought the fox was too stupid.

“She seems to have accepted your explanation, but she probably has some tricks up her sleeve. Our master and you, the fox, combined have eight hundred minds, you’re missing one, the mistress has eight hundred and one.”

“You!” The fox was about to tear at the silver wolf, but he was stopped by Mu Chenye: “From now on, be careful when dealing with her. I won’t appear in front of her unless it’s necessary.”

The fox was speechless: “Master, the mistress doesn’t lack money, you’re rushing to give her money, isn’t that like sending your own flaws to her? How can you blame us?”

Mu Chenye gave him a cold look: “Although Concubine Chen gave her money, and Father gave her deeds to houses and land, but those weren’t given by me. I’m spending money to support my own wife, is there anything wrong with that?”

“No, no.” The fox didn’t dare to speak anymore, he could only mutter in his heart: Isn’t it just that he doesn’t want his wife to spend other people’s money? A wife-slave, he deserves to be exposed!

“But Master, giving only one percent of the profit is…” not enough?

The fox scratched his head, he couldn’t figure it out.

“You’re really stupid.” The silver wolf rolled his eyes: “It says one percent, that’s on paper, how the accounts are done, isn’t that up to us? Even if we give it all to the mistress, our master would be happy to do so.”

The fox secretly looked at Mu Chenye’s expression.

“Learn from the silver wolf.” Mu Chenye nodded in satisfaction.

Sure enough.

The fox suddenly realized: “So, our master’s so-called one percent profit, for the mistress, is just money to spend, spend as she pleases.”

“You know, why don’t you go do the accounts?” The silver wolf urged.

“I know, you just like to boss me around.” The fox muttered in dissatisfaction, and went to the study.

He was just a poor and hardworking soul, he had accepted his fate.

…

Gu Yunlan had just sat down when someone came to ask what the owner of Yao Yue Tower had asked her to do.

Gu Yunlan answered with a few polite words, then used the excuse of needing water to leave the social circle. She was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard a voice with a smile calling her: “Third Young Master’s wife.”

Gu Yunlan turned around and saw a strange man, looking at her with a smile in his eyes.

He was handsome and elegant, with a jade-like face, wearing brocade clothes but with a scholarly air, with a faint, friendly smile on his face.

“Do we know each other?” Gu Yunlan was puzzled.

He smiled faintly: “I’ve never seen you before, let me introduce myself, I’m Shen Mo, the second son of the current Prime Minister, and I’m currently working at the Hanlin Academy.”

He bowed slightly: “My mother is not well, but because most doctors are men, and there are very few female doctors with skills, so I would like to ask Third Young Master’s wife, do you have time to take a look at my mother’s illness?”

Shen Mo spoke politely, and he was asking for medical treatment for his mother, he seemed to be a filial son, moreover, this man was as gentle as jade, and Gu Yunlan found him quite likable, so she nodded and agreed: “Okay, we’ll be moving back to the Mu Mansion from the Gu Mansion these days, so we’ll be a little busy. How about three days later?”

Shen Mo hurriedly agreed: “Third Young Master’s wife, I’m already very grateful that you’re willing to treat my mother, of course, I’ll arrange it according to your time, I’m fine with that. Three days later, I’ll send a visiting card to the Mu Mansion.”

Gu Yunlan nodded: “Okay.”

Shen Mo bowed again, then politely left. Gu Yunlan hadn’t breathed a sigh of relief yet when she was pulled away by Qiao Mingyue. She asked with a blushing face: “Sister Lan, was that Young Master Shen who was talking to you just now?”

“Young Master Shen? You mean Shen Mo?” Gu Yunlan asked.

Qiao Mingyue nodded: “Yes! Young Master Shen is amazing! He was the top scholar at fourteen, and entered the Hanlin Academy at fifteen, everyone says he will become the youngest cabinet minister in the future, and achieve even greater things than his father!”

“Not only that.” Murong Xiaoxiao also came over: “His mother is the Countess of Qinghe, the concubine daughter of the Duke of Beiding, the Duke of Beiding is the Emperor Uncle’s uncle, she and the Emperor Uncle are cousins. I have to call her Aunt, Young Master Shen is also my cousin, just a little distant.”

“Since he’s Sister Xiaoxiao’s aunt, she must be a beauty.” Gu Yunlan smiled.

“Aunt was originally healthy, but she injured her body when she gave birth to Shen Qingqiu, and she has had some gynecological problems since then.”

Murong Xiaoxiao reminded: “Aunt’s personality is as gentle as Young Master Shen’s, Shen Qingqiu was also a good person, but after she fell in love with the Third Prince, she became a little crazy, I don’t like to play with her anymore. If you see her in the mansion, just ignore her, although Aunt spoils her, she’s not a troublesome person.”

“Thank you for reminding me.” Gu Yunlan smiled and thanked her.

The banquet lasted all day, when Gu Yunlan returned to her courtyard, it was already dark, she was a little tired and pushed open the door, but she was hugged tightly by an enthusiastic little dog: “Wife, I miss you so much～”
