To Jiang Wan's surprise, the meal lasted for almost an hour, and the sky darkened completely.

And most of the delicious food on the table had only been lightly tasted by them, which made Jiang Wan's heart ache for no reason.

She stood up, a little reluctant to part with her, but her eyes never left the food that was almost the same as before.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Rui smiled at her and said, "Are you not done yet?"

"I just suddenly thought of a few words," Jiang Wan shook her head and looked at the food on the table, "Zhu Men stinks of wine and meat, and has frozen to death along the way …"

Hearing that, Xiao Rui couldn't help but laugh: "Are you going to freeze to death? Don't forget, it's the third day. "

Jiang Wan, who felt that she had been ridiculed, glared at Xiao Rui. She hugged Xiao Rui tightly and smiled: "Since my wife doesn't like to waste food, then let's get the kitchen to make a new menu tomorrow … "Previously, there was no mistress in the house and the matters of the Inner Academy were handled by the Outer Academy. Now that you have married into the Inner Academy, it is better that you decide on the matters of the Inner Academy in the future …"

Was he trying to get the abbot to give him something?

Jiang Wan was also stunned for a moment, and didn't answer Xiao Rui's question.

When she thought about how she was just a servant at home, it was likely that her mother had never taught her how to manage a household, so she said softly: "You don't have to be afraid, our Jin family has had accounts with other official families all these years, if we were to encounter any problems, it would not be disrespectful as long as we follow the books of the past years." "As for the affairs in the manor, it's even easier now. The stewards and mothers are all old now, so they usually don't need to mention anything to know what to do. When the time comes, I'll find you a maid who knows how to settle debts …"

Listening to Xiao Rui's chattering, Jiang Wan felt an indescribable sense of security. This man really did think of everything for her.

"Why are you so good to me?" Jiang Wan couldn't help but tug at Xiao Rui's clothes and ask.

Xiao Rui lowered her head, looking at her with a serious expression and said softly: "Because you are worth it!"

With just one sentence, Jiang Wan's heart thumped wildly.

She lowered her eyes but dug her fingers deep into her dress: "Do you know, sometimes … I really have an illusion... Do you think we've known each other in our previous lives... "That's why it's so compatible in this life …"

She didn't have the courage to admit that she had been reborn. She didn't want to be looked down upon by Xiao Rui as a monster, but there were some things in her heart that made her unhappy, so she chose to speak in a slightly more tactful manner.

"Is that so?" Xiao Rui greeted Jiang Wan with a smile, "I thought I was the only one who felt this way …" Ever since I met you in the Plum Garden of the crown prince's residence, it seems like I've met a person I haven't seen in a long time. I can't help but want to meet you … "

The two of them spoke softly along the way, slowly and leisurely walking along the veranda back to the main house of the Spring Flower Courtyard.

The front of the house was like a bamboo garden of the Jin King's Manor. A big red lantern hung high up, illuminating the entire area around the porch with a red light.

Xia Yi, who was guarding outside the room, saw the commotion and shouted, "The Crown Prince and Madam are back!" Then, with a bit of hesitation, he lifted the bamboo curtain.

Xiao Rui glanced at her strangely, but didn't say anything to help her block the bamboo curtain, allowing Jiang Wan, who was behind her, to enter the house.

As soon as Jiang Wan entered the room, she saw Clove, who had been squatting on the floor, jump up and down like a frightened little deer.

"What happened to you?" Jiang Wan smiled as she walked over, but she could faintly smell the fragrance of a candle inside the temple.

She looked around in surprise and saw that the four corners of the room were filled with grains such as rice. A candle was placed in front of the grains, and before the candle was placed, there were still ashes left behind.

Clove stood there with her hands behind her back. At her feet was a brazier, still burning.

Jiang Wan immediately knew what Lilac was doing in her room when she saw it. Her heart tightened as she thought, "Lilac is so silly!"

Perhaps it was a common occurrence for the common people that Fen Biao's invitation was for the public, but whether or not there was a taboo in the Prince's estate was something she could not say.

As for Xiao Rui, who was following behind Jiang Wan, she took a glance around the room before her expression darkened. She instantly understood that Xia Yi was just standing guard at the entrance to cover for Clove.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Rui said with a dark face, giving off an imposing aura that frightened Lilac so much that she fell to her knees.

Jiang Wan walked over, looked down at Clove, and asked, "What the hell are you guys doing? The house is on fire from the smoke? "

Clove looked timidly at Jiang Wan, then looked at Xiao Rui, but didn't dare to say anything.

Seeing her cowardly appearance, Jiang Wan started to panic. Clove had always been following her, so she definitely wouldn't have any bad intentions if she did that.

"Don't you know that many families avoid this sort of thing?" Jiang Wan half squatted down, looked into Lilac's eyes, and said, "You have to at least tell me, why did you do this? "If the crown prince says so, how can I plead for you?"

A trace of fear flashed through Clove's eyes. She looked at Jiang Wan as if begging for forgiveness and said, "Yes …" It was Mama Han who said … Madam's wedding was not even a month old, and she was about to leave the bridal chamber. "Because she couldn't come, she told me to place the five valleys' divine joy in all four corners of the room …"

Mama Han?

Jiang Wan was a little astonished. This time, the trip to the Western Mountain was both urgent and urgent. Considering that her mother was getting on in age, she decided to let her stay in the capital.

Unexpectedly, she was still worried about him.

Jiang Wan looked at Xiao Rui with a slightly awkward expression. Just as she was thinking about how she could plead for mercy, she heard Xiao Rui say indifferently: "Since that's the case, why aren't you telling us about it? Why are you acting so sneaky?"

As soon as Clove heard this, she fell to the ground and trembled. She continued with a shaky voice, "Because Mama Han said the mansion's rules are huge, the crown prince and his wife might not agree to let us do this. We might as well do it first and play it later …"

As soon as Xiao Rui heard that, he immediately lost his temper. He looked at Xia Yi, who was standing by the door, and coldly said: "You know about this as well?"

Her tone was so cold that even Xia Yi, who had seen such a great spectacle, couldn't help but tremble. She quickly kneeled down on the spot and bit her lips. "I was thinking about Clove because it's for the crown prince and his wife's own good …"

"So you hid it from us with her?" Xiao Rui looked at Xia Yi with a gentle expression, but his tone was as cold as ever.

Xia Yi knelt there, her head lowered without a sound, while Clove just lay there on the ground, not daring to move at all. Her heart was beating like a drum.
