"My master has a weird temper, but he has a kind heart. He raised me since I was a child, and all my skills were taught by him. He taught me how to raise and train Gu, and I have a talent for it. I have learned 99% of his skills. He is usually very strict with me, but I know he does that for my own good."

"What is this descendant of the Nanman Gu tribe you mentioned?"

Seeing that Rong Yan was finally willing to talk to her, Tang Mumu's heart finally settled down.

"My master is a descendant of the Nanman Gu tribe. I heard from my master that the Nanman Gu people were very powerful. They had been living in their own territory, but later it seemed that an outsider broke in. I don't know what happened afterwards, because that outsider Nanman Gu people were almost exterminated, and my master was the only one who escaped the disaster."

"Did you take revenge later?"

"I heard that it was reported. My master killed the foreigner and built a tomb for the tribe member. It is in Taoyuan Valley. Every mid-spring, my master takes us to visit our ancestors. This has never stopped since I can remember."

The two were speechless for a while. After walking for another quarter of an hour, Taoyuan Valley became faintly visible. After passing through a mist, they arrived at the real Taoyuan Valley.

Flowers bloom all year round, the sky is warm with white dew, and the moon is bright in the sky. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a paradise on earth.

"This is Taoyuan Valley. Isn't it beautiful? I've been seeing it for almost 20 years, and I still can't get enough of it."

Tang Mumu ran with her arms open, feeling the tingling pleasure of the breeze brushing across her cheeks.

Rong Yan followed behind her and looked at her. She laughed so heartily, which was something he had never seen before. Somehow, Rong Yan also started laughing.

"Hongyi Lanlin, I'm back, your young valley master."

Tang Mumu took Rong Yan to a small courtyard. The courtyard was full of fruits and vegetables. A stream on the side of the courtyard seemed to have life, cheering as it went farther away.

Taoyuan Valley is indeed beautiful.

"Young Valley Master?" Tang Mumu's voice had barely fallen when two women ran out of the house, one in a bright red gilded long dress, the other in an indigo-blue pearl gauze dress. Rong Yan thought of what Tang Mumu had said before, that all the people around her were beauties.

"Hongyi, Lanlin, I miss you so much." Tang Mumu opened his arms and ran towards the two of them, and the three of them bumped into each other.

"Young Master, why are you back? Shouldn't you be serving as the princess in the Rong Palace in Shangjing at this time? Why are you back?"

After the three of them were intimate, Hong Yi remembered her business. Seeing a strange man standing not far away, Hong Yi took a defensive posture.

"Who is that man? Why did you bring outsiders into the valley? Have you forgotten the rules of Taoyuan Valley?"

Tang Mumu pressed Hong Yi's hand, walked over and pulled Rong Yan in front of the two of them, and hurriedly introduced: "He is Prince Rong. I took the initiative to bring him to Taoyuan Valley. We want to see the master. Is the master in the valley?"

"The Valley Master is just like you. He hasn't been back to the valley for two months. We thought he was with you."

The one who answered was Lan Lin. As she spoke, she looked Rong Yan up and down. When they sent the Young Valley Master in, they didn't see what Prince Rong looked like. They didn't expect him to be so handsome and worthy of their Young Valley Master.

"Master is not in the valley? Then where is the second young lady from the general's mansion? Where did Master hide the second young lady?"

"Second Miss? Aren't you the Second Miss of the General's Mansion?" Hong Yi had obviously realized that something was wrong. Before sending the Young Master of the Valley to the bridal sedan, she had already confirmed that she was the princess consort that the Emperor had arranged for Prince Rong, the Second Miss of the General's Mansion of Zhenping.

Tang Mumu stood still. Things were becoming more and more complicated, and she no longer knew who to believe.

"Young Valley Master, has something happened?" Hong Yi grabbed Tang Mumu's hand, looking anxious.

"Master...Master may have deceived us all. Although I look exactly like the Second Miss, I am really not the Second Miss. The resemblance is just a coincidence. Master sent me to Prince Rong's Mansion because he may need me to cooperate with him in doing something. But now I can't find Master at all."

"Don't panic, let's go inside and talk slowly."

Hong Yi pulled Tang Mumu to walk into the house, but Rong Yan pulled her behind him and asked, "Are you sure they are trustworthy?"

Tang Mumu pulled back her hand. "They are sisters who grew up with me. They are naturally trustworthy people. Don't talk nonsense."

"Hongyi, Lanlin, don't mind it. People outside the valley are like this. They always feel like the people around them want to harm them. Don't be angry with him."

The two followed them into the house. Hongyi poured a cup of hot water for them and placed it on the table. Rong Yan glanced at the cup, then raised his eyes and stared at Hongyi.

Hong Yi took a cup and poured herself a glass of water. She raised her head and drank it all. She even turned the cup upside down and shook it in front of Rong Yan, "It's not poisonous."

Tang Mumu kicked Rong Yan from under the table and stared at him with a warning look.

"I'm sorry, please don't mind it, young lady." After saying that, he drank the water in the cup.

"Since the Young Valley Master personally brought you into the valley, you are a guest. Since you are the Young Valley Master's husband, anything you do can be forgiven."

Tang Mumu and Rong Yan looked at each other for a moment, and Tang Mumu immediately looked away and said to Hong Yi: "He is not my husband anymore. When the real Miss Tang is found, the position of Princess Rong will be returned to her. We came here this time to find her."

Tang Mumu sighed, resting his chin on the table with both hands, looking regretful, "I thought that even if I couldn't find Master in Taoyuan Valley, I could still find Miss Tang Er. Who knew it would be a wasted trip? Where do you think Master would hide Miss Tang Er? And Master said there was something important to do. What exactly was it? Why didn't he tell me?"

"It must be because my brain is too small that I can't figure it out. If I had known I would have grown up more when I was a kid. It's too painful to not be able to figure things out."

Rong Yan retracted his gaze from Tang Mumu and grasped the key point of Hong Yi's words just now, "Why are you sure that she is the Second Miss Tang? Have you seen the Second Miss Tang?"

"I met her once before. The Valley Master took me there. After I came back, I met the Young Valley Master and I told her about it. At that time, the Young Valley Master meant that the Emperor wanted to grant the marriage, and she had to go back and discuss the marriage with her parents."

"You are talking nonsense. When did I ever tell you this? Besides, haven't I never left Taoyuan Valley? Have you forgotten that you and Lan Lin treated me like a prisoner all day long? How could I have the chance to leave the valley? How could I have the chance to go to a place as far away as Shangjing?"

Hong Yi frowned, as if she had not thought of this at the time, but the Second Miss was clearly exactly the same as the Young Valley Master.

"And how did I get on the bridal sedan at Prince Rong's mansion? It would take at least half a month to get to the capital. Even if it was a knockout drug, it wouldn't take me half a month, right?"
