"Xia Yu, let's get a vegetable hotpot meal today!"
Chun Jing swallowed a mouthful of saliva and added, "Sigh, if only there was some cured meat. Make a hot pot with some garlic seeds and add a handful of frozen cabbage. Then, sprinkle it into the fragrant pot and cook it. Tsk tsk, it's so alluring!"
Mu Rousang rolled her eyes at her in annoyance, didn't she know that she also wanted to eat meat?
"Elder sister Chun Jing, don't talk about it anymore. A few days ago, I heard that a household was cut down at the entrance of the marketplace. They said that it was taboo because of eating meat!"
Xia Hua pulled her, and carefully looked around.
"There's such a thing?" Quick, tell me about it! "
Mu Rousang was really shocked. She had eaten a lot of meat in the past year, but fortunately, she had quite a lot of it in her storage space, and there was no shelf life for her to keep. She took it out to take a look, and it was still very fresh.
Xia Hua immediately told her what she heard from the Wives.
It turned out that the family was really unlucky. They could have endured for a few more months, but who knew …
That family's two year old grandson cried for meat every day. The Old Master was reluctant, so he secretly went to the manor to slaughter a chicken. When it was cooked, he brought it back for him to eat.
Originally, this matter was nothing, but that servant did not notice when he was pouring the trash and had mixed the chicken bones in with it. However, the person next door remembered that the two houses were originally at odds with each other.
Mu Rousang sucked in a breath of cold air, her pair of pitch-black eyeballs following everyone as they looked around. Then, she carefully asked: "Who's living next door to ours?"
"They say it's a general. Because there are so many people in the house and the residence is too small, he moved here. However, he is still far from our home, and there is a passageway in the middle. Young Mistress is too worried."
Of course, when he replied, it wasn't because he was a little girl, but it was because of the spring news that came.
"Oh, then I'm relieved."
Mu Rousang touched her chest. She could not endure it anymore and decided to hide in space to eat. Who could guarantee that the servants wouldn't steal it?
"That's right. Tell the old woman guarding the night to wake up. I'm afraid she won't be able to sleep peacefully tonight."
In the end, she still remembered the words of that inexplicable general.
Chun Yi said in surprise, "Eh, young mistress actually knows about it? Young Master has also sent people back to tell us that from tonight onwards, tell this servant to send more men to patrol the courtyard and that there will be a scout who will infiltrate the capital. Tonight, we will search the city without restraint! "
Mu Rousang looked up at the gloomy sky. Who could tell her what was going on?
"I don't know. When I came back, the investigation was even more serious than usual. I was still worried if I could go to Grandmother's place tomorrow!"
Right now, it was not even convenient to leave through the door. Normally, they would only go to the prince's mansion for around an hour, but now, they needed over two hours to get there. Time was wasted on the road.
The night was not a peaceful one, Yang Zixuan sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that he did not have time today to come back for dinner, and was out eating with his friends.
Mu Rousang was restless inside, and even if it was dinner, she had no appetite.
"Xia Yu, go and find Chun Yan."
Xia Yu quickly went out the door and quickly brought Chun Rong over, along with Aunt Liu.
When Mu Rousang saw her, she knew that the worry in her heart was real.
"Aunt, do you think this isn't appropriate?"
Today, Aunt Liu did not follow Mu Rousang to Prince Zhong's Mansion, but stayed in the Palace to help her take care of her family affairs.
"Young mistress, don't worry. I'm sure Young Master will be blessed."
Aunt Liu's eyes seemed to float. In the blink of an eye, she had already seen how the young Mu Rousang had gotten married several years ago, who would have thought that such a small servant like her would receive another secret order.
"But, why do I feel like something isn't right!"
It was a strange atmosphere in the capital!
Mu Rousang exhaled a long breath, her tone carrying a bit of joy and apprehension for the future.
She was very clear about Mu Rousang's personality. This kind of character was only suitable for a man like Yang Zixuan, who was willing to pamper her, and not for the palace that was full of schemes and battles.
She did not know if she should be happy or sad. Su Ruirui had chosen that road, and was destined to never cross paths with Mu Rousang again.
Only the Eastern Gui Garden was completely silent. The place was completely dark as Mu Rousang climbed up to the roof along with Chun Yan and Chun Yi. She quietly sat on the roof and looked at the half of the capital which had turned red from the fire.
"Young Mistress, don't worry!" Spring Dye's words were not sincere.
Everyone could see that the Prince Zhong's Mansion was brightly lit, Mu Rousang could not sit still, and wanted to go to the Prince Zhong's Mansion to take a look, to the Mu Manor, to the Zuo Mansion to take a look.
A warm little hand pressed down on her shoulder, and Chunyi whispered calmly, "Young Mistress, your heart is in chaos!"
Under the night sky, the orange glow of the fire danced in her eyes. It was the reflection of the sky-high fire that burned the room.
Mu Rousang forced herself to calm down, she did not know how she endured that night.
At the end of the fifth fragment of the night, the sky, which had been cold for the entire winter, finally opened its eyes.
The white sky was gradually filled with warmth. Mu Rousang moved her stiff body, and realised that she, Chun Yan, Chun Yi and the rest had stayed on the roof for the entire night.
"Young Mistress!" The spring scenery brought along two second class girls who were covered in mud and snow as they rushed over from the entrance of the courtyard. Their round faces were brimming with a cheerful smile.
Yes, a simple person like her would be happy.
Mu Rousang stretched out her numb legs. Chun Yan and Chun Yi immediately pinched her leg, and asked: "Young Mistress has been squatting for too long."
"Tsk, that's not right. His leg is so numb that it's numbing his heart."
Was the night finally coming to an end?
Mu Rousang allowed the two to hold him as she sat on the roof and shouted towards the spring scenery: "I'm here, your Young Master has not returned yet, I was worried to death tonight."
"Spring Scene, I didn't hear you say anything for a long time!"
Yang Zixuan's voice sounded at the courtyard entrance.
"Husband!" Mu Rousang happily looked towards the door, the black watery eye was covered with a layer of mist.
The moment Yang Zixuan entered the courtyard, he looked in the direction of the voice. His legs trembled slightly, obedient, he saw his wife sitting on the rooftop.
"Don't worry, your husband will pick you up right away."
Mu Rousang saw with her sharp eyes that his robes were wrinkled and dirty, and she was even emitting a faint Evil Qi.
"Don't, I can go down by myself. Did you go to steal chickens or touch dogs at night? Did you only come back in the morning?"
Seeing her stand up, Yang Zixuan's feet slipped and he almost fell to the ground. On the other hand, Chun Xiao who was about to stand up suddenly pushed her down onto the roof again, and Chun Yi who was helping her up also lost his balance and fell down onto the two of them.
Yang Zixuan was scared to the point that he broke out in cold sweat. Just as he was about to jump to the bottom of the house, Spring had already spun around with his toes, and immediately stood up to help Mu Rousang up.
"Young mistress, have you gotten fat again?!"
Mu Rousang stared at him: "You're panting so much that you got flustered, you actually dare to say I'm fat!"
Yang Zixuan staggered. How could he forget that his wife loved to be arrogant the most!
"Young mistress, come down quickly. This servant was able to kill everyone last night!"
"What great slaughter?"
Yang Zixuan, who had just returned, was at a loss.
"Listening to her speak, I called her along with Chun Feng and the four Xia's group to patrol the inner courtyard with little girls and wives."
Although it was very disgraceful of Mu Rousang to have fallen just now, in order to win back some face, she had flown down from the roof in an extremely graceful manner.
Her husband, her husband, was just turning his head to ask what Chunjing had said!
She glared at Chun Jing snappily, then reached out her hand to hold Yang Zixuan's arm, saying with an unusually intimate smile: "Husband, shouldn't you tell me where you went last night?"
The scent of blood, which could not be hidden, rushed into her nose, causing her delicate eyebrows to furrow unconsciously.
"Have you smoked your wife? It was a bit rough last night, why don't you go change your clothes first! "
Yang Zixuan had come back after washing up, but he still vividly remembered the matter of Mu Rousang being scared.
Mu Rousang did not say anything and instructed Chun Yan and the rest to rest. She also called for the little girl to fetch some hot water to help Yang Zixuan bathe.
Maybe it was because it had been frozen for too long on the roof. Previously, when he was busy serving Yang Zixuan, he did not feel it, but now that he was free, he felt that all his bones were ice.
"Young Mistress, quickly drink some ginger tea."
Xia Yu held onto a small pot of ginger tea while Xia Hua held onto a plate of steaming hot leek dumplings. Behind him, the little girl was even holding onto a bowl of fragrant and delicious glutinous rice porridge.
"Hurry up and give it to me, but it's too cold. Oh right, why are you having breakfast so early?"
"It's not early anymore. I just had a pinch of noodles last night and was waiting for Young Mistress to yell that she was hungry before cooking. Unexpectedly, it turns out that I've been waiting until this morning."
Xia Yu replied as she arranged the food around the table.
"There's no need to wait here. Leave the two little girls to listen to the servants outside. You two can go down and rest. Oh right, is Aunt alright?"
Last night, Aunt Liu brought Wives to check the little locked corner of the door, and then Xiao Xiao found his way in.
Xia Yu answered: "I followed her back and forth for an entire night, it was alright even in the first half of the night, but she led her people to walk back and forth non-stop, she is truly exhausted. When this servant saw that she was not feeling well when she returned earlier, I let her rest."
"Aunty is already a bit old, so of course I can't take it. Go back and get your wife to boil a big pot of ginger tea. Last night, the big fellow was frozen. First, eat some ginger tea to warm up his body, then sleep."
She didn't care how chaotic it was outside. At least for now, she had to make arrangements at home before she could go to sleep.
