Chapter 563 The Little She-Wolf

Chapter 563 The Little She-Wolf

South Gate of Hanshan.

The convoy entering the city was waiting for inspection. In one of the carriages, Mu Yiyun lifted the curtain and looked around.

It was Mu Yiyun's first time in Hanshan, and she was very curious about everything there, such as the various checks. Since entering Hanshan territory, she had been checked more than a dozen times on her way to the city gate.

At first, Mu Yiyun thought the soldiers were taking bribes. She wasn't short of money, so she quickly gave them red envelopes as per the rules. But to Mu Yiyun's surprise, not a single soldier accepted her money, yet they remained very polite to her. Moreover, the items they checked were different each time. For example, at the last checkpoint, all of Mu Yiyun's weapons were confiscated.

The soldiers said that according to the Hanshan Public Security Management Regulations, civilians without a Hanshan Good Citizen Certificate were not allowed to possess weapons. Since it was the enemy's territory anyway, Mu Yiyun wasn't worried about her own safety, so she ordered her men to hand over their weapons.

In no time, it was Mu Yiyun's turn to ride in her carriage.

The yamen runner, Xiao Shen, stepped forward with a smile and said, "Greetings, guests. Please dismount from the carriage. We need to conduct a thorough security check."

Mu Yiyun nodded, picked up the wooden box, and stepped off the carriage. Immediately, two constables boarded the carriage and began a thorough search, leaving no corner unchecked.

Xiao Shen pointed to the wooden box in Mu Yiyun's hand and said, "Madam, please open the wooden box."

Mu Yiyun frowned. She didn't want to open it. Inside were Dorgon's treasures. Because they had been traveling for days and hadn't replenished their ice in time, they had already gone bad. Opening it would release a terrible stench.

Mu Yiyun thought for a moment. Now that she had reached the city gate, it was time to have her nemesis come to pick her up. After all, she had accomplished the impossible. So Mu Yiyun said, "Please inform Wang Wenzhou that his concubine Mu Yiyun has arrived and that he should send someone to pick me up as soon as possible."

Xiao Shen frowned. This lady claimed to be the master's wife, but as far as Xiao Shen knew, the master did not have a wife named Mu Yiyun.

Xiao Shen thought for a moment. This was a difficult matter. If the lady was an imposter, he would be in trouble if he reported it. If the lady was real, he would be in trouble if he didn't report it. He couldn't bear this responsibility. So Xiao Shen cupped his hands and said, "Madam, please wait a moment. I'll go and ask the captain."

After Xiao Shen finished speaking, he turned and left, arriving at the guardhouse at the city gate. "Captain Wu, a lady claims to be the lord's wife and wants the lord to send someone to pick her up."

Old Wu, a yamen runner, is a veteran yamen runner from Hanshan. Now he has risen to become the captain of the South Gate garrison.

Old Wu quickly got up and went to check the situation. He also felt that this matter was rather tricky. He had to take a look at it himself first.

Old Wu walked over and looked Mu Yiyun up and down. The girl's appearance and figure were indeed to the liking of adults.

Old Wu cupped his hands in greeting and asked, "Madam, do you have any token? Or could you write a letter and I'll send someone to deliver it to you? Otherwise, the person I send won't be able to see you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shen was filled with admiration. "Old foxes are indeed shrewd," he thought. "By doing this, Captain Wu completely absolved himself of responsibility. Even if the lady was an imposter, it wouldn't concern Lao Wu, because she had produced a token, and Lao Wu couldn't tell if it was real or fake."

Mu Yiyun thought for a moment, then took out a waist tag and handed it to Lao Wu.

Old Wu looked down and frowned, because the waist tag was covered with tadpole-like characters that he didn't recognize.

Mu Yiyun said, "Give this to Wang Wenzhou, and he will know who I am."

"Please wait a moment, Madam!" Old Wu quickly handed the waist token to Xiao Shen, asking Xiao Shen to deliver the message.

Just then, more than a hundred knights rode up.

From afar, Old Wu saw that it was the eldest young master, Jiang Xuyang, returning to the city from school. He quickly ordered his men to remove the crossbeams in the VIP passage, as the eldest young master's guards did not need to be checked.

Mu Yiyun turned around and saw Shui Yu riding a horse, carrying Jiang Xuyang, leading the way.

Mu Yiyun shook her head with a wry smile. This little devil is just like his father; he's been a womanizer since he was a child.

Mu Yiyun shouted, "Little Yangyang!"

Jiang Xuyang tilted his head and saw Mu Yiyun, so he quickly told Shui Yu to stop.

After Shuiyu dismounted, she carried Jiang Xuyang off the horse.

Jiang Xuyang ran towards Mu Yiyun with a smile.

Mu Yiyun smiled slightly and quickly picked up Jiang Xuyang.

"Little she-wolf, your child misses you!" Jiang Xuyang's little hands roamed over Mu Yiyun's body, but his words were full of sincerity.

Mu Yiyun scolded, "You little brat, who's the little she-wolf? Get down here, you're getting more and more outrageous."

Mu Yiyun put Jiang Xuyang on the ground.

Jiang Xuyang saw the wooden box next to Mu Yiyun and said with a smile, "Mother, you've come to see your child and brought gifts. You're too kind."

Mu Yiyun quickly grabbed Jiang Xuyang's ear and pulled him away. She couldn't let this little devil see what was inside.

“This is a gift your mother brought for your father. Your gift is in the carriage. You take your mother into the city first; they won’t let her in,” Mu Yiyun said, pointing at Old Wu.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuyang rushed to Old Wu's side and cursed, "Uncle Wu, this is your fault! My mother came all the way to find my father to sleep with, how could you stop her from entering the city?"

Mu Yiyun's face immediately turned red to her neck. Although what the little brat said was true, he shouldn't have said it in front of so many people.

Old Wu said with a smile, "Young Master, you can't blame me for this. I don't know Madam and her guards, and they don't have any special badges, which is why I didn't let them pass."

Jiang Xuyang nodded and said in a serious manner, "Alright, I understand. I'll have my dad arrange a match for my mother another day. I'll take my mother to see my dad first."

"Respectfully seeing off the young master!" Old Wu and the others hurriedly saw him off.

Jiang Xuyang boarded Mu Yiyun's carriage. After thinking for a moment, he lifted the curtain and said to Shuiyu, "Sister Shuiyu, my father should be at the Xinjian Marquis's residence today, right?"

Shuiyu nodded.

Jiang Xuyang said, "Then let's not go back to the Duke of Zhongyi's mansion, let's go to the Earl of Xinjian's mansion first."

"Okay!" Shuiyu nodded.

Mu Yiyun was very puzzled and asked, "Little Yangyang, why are there two more mansions?"

Jiang Xuyang shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "It's all my father's fault. He brought this upon himself. Ru Ru's mother and Lan Lan's mother were fighting, and both of them wanted to be in charge. My father had no choice but to divide the family. Ru Ru's mother is in charge of the Duke of Zhongyi's mansion, and Lan Lan's mother is in charge of the newly built Earl's mansion."

Mu Yiyun was secretly heartbroken. It seemed that her future days would be difficult, and she could forget about being in charge of the household.

Jiang Xuyang continued with a smile, "That's not all. Jiaojiao's mother also insisted on separating the family, so my father had no choice but to build another Zhang Sanhua Mansion."

While the two were talking, the procession arrived at the newly built Earl's residence.

Wang Wenzhou had already received the report and was about to go out to see what Mu Yiyun, this little she-wolf, wanted to do. He assumed that Mu Yiyun had chased him so far because she was acting on Dorgon's orders.

Mu Yiyun's eyes reddened as soon as she saw Wang Wenzhou.

"Husband!" Mu Yiyun cried out sweetly and threw herself into Wang Wenzhou's arms.

"Hey, hey, hey..." Wang Wenzhou quickly pushed Mu Yiyun away and said irritably, "You little ingrate, don't do this! I have a wife now, you can't take advantage of me like this, my babies will be angry if they see this."

Mu Yiyun was both amused and exasperated. She rolled her eyes at Wang Wenzhou. "You rascal, you're so irresponsible! Do you really hate me that much? This time, no matter what, you have to sleep with me!"

Mu Yiyun smiled slightly, handed the wooden box to Wang Wenzhou, and said proudly, "Husband, I have done what you asked me to do."
