After waking up, Yun Qinglu stretched and felt relaxed all over.

She looked out the window and realized that the sun was already setting in the west; it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

Remembering Mu Zhi who was still in the manor, Yun Qingluo decided to go and check on her first.

Upon arriving at Mu Zhi's room, they found her breathing was steady, with no signs of waking up.

Magpie, who was standing guard nearby, said to Yun Qingluo with concern, "Madam, Her Majesty has not yet woken up."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qingluo stepped forward to check on Mu Zhi and found that she was fine, which relieved her.

She turned to the worried magpie and said, "Don't panic, I've just been too tired these past two days. I drank some red wine to help me sleep, so I slept for a long time. I guess I'll wake up soon."

The magpie said gratefully, "Thank you, Madam."

Yun Qingluo thought for a moment, then turned and left the room, heading towards the kitchen, planning to prepare the ingredients for their hot pot dinner that evening.

Meanwhile, Xuan Ming received an invitation from Yun Qingluo at noon.

He also sent a reply through his bodyguard, indicating that he would come over at dinner time.

He should already be on his way, Yun Qingluo thought to herself, calculating the time.

As for Mo Beichen, Yun Qingluo also sent a message, estimating that he would be back soon.

Thinking about the lively hot pot gathering around the stove together that evening, Yun Qingluo felt exceptionally happy.

When Yun Qingluo walked into the kitchen, she was surprised to find Yun Jin busy inside.

She laughed and joked, "I was wondering where you were. Turns out you've been busy here. Wow, you've already washed all the vegetables? Yun Jin, you're so capable!"

Hearing Yun Qingluo's praise, Yun Jin chuckled shyly.

She scratched her head and said, "Madam, I was just bored this afternoon, so I went to the vegetable garden and picked some fresh vegetables and washed them all. Oh, and the potatoes too, I sliced ​​them and soaked them in water."

Looking at the neatly arranged vegetables in front of her, Yun Qingluo's smile grew even brighter.

She patted Yun Jin on the shoulder and said gratefully, "Yun Jin, well done! You're really my right-hand woman. Tonight's hot pot is sure to be delicious."

Yun Qingluo walked to the basin of water on the side and was shocked to see that it was mostly filled with potato slices.

"Yun Jin, did you use up three days' worth of potatoes? How are we going to finish that?" Although Yun Qingluo said this, the smile in her eyes clearly showed that she was very satisfied.

After all, potatoes are her favorite food.

But how could Yun Jin know that she liked to eat potatoes?

She clearly remembered that she had never mentioned this matter.

Upon hearing Yun Qingluo's words, Yun Jin's heart tightened. She quickly wiped her hands clean, walked over, and said, "Madam, please don't be angry. This was specially instructed by the master when he returned to the kitchen. He said that you like to eat potatoes, so he asked me to prepare more potatoes. Even if there are leftovers, it won't matter."

Yun Qingluo looked surprised. "Achen is already back?"

Yun Jin nodded in response, "Yes, they returned half an hour ago. I guess they saw that Madam was resting, so they didn't wake her up."

Over this period of time, she had also noticed something was amiss; the master was very fond of his wife.

Yun Qingluo glanced at the kitchen, and Yun Jin immediately understood what was going on.

She immediately replied, "Don't worry, Madam. I have prepared all the vegetables here. When it's almost time, I will take the mutton and beef out of the freezer, slice them thinly, and then everything will be ready."

Then, she suddenly slapped her forehead and said, "Oh, right, the base and ingredients you mentioned aren't ready yet. How about this, you go and visit the master first, and I'll boil the water. After you return, you can prepare the base, and I'll also prepare the scallions, ginger, and garlic."

Yun Jin had heard Yun Qingluo mention early in the morning that they were having hot pot for dinner and had talked to her about what ingredients to prepare, which is why she was able to prepare such a complete range of vegetables. However, she didn't remember the broth very well and didn't really know how to make it.

Yun Qingluo smiled and glanced at Yun Jin, "Okay, I'll be right back. Yun Jin, could you boil a pot of water first? Yun Ying will come and help you later."

"Alright, Madam, don't worry."

After rushing into Mo Beichen's room, Yun Qingluo stood at the door and calmed her breathing for a while.

Just as I was about to knock, the door opened from the inside.

"Ah Chen? You knew I was here?" Yun Qingluo's hand, which had been knocking on the door, was still suspended in mid-air.

The next second, Mo Beichen grabbed her and pulled her into the house.

"Hmm, I heard your footsteps. Why are you running so fast? Did something happen?" Mo Beichen looked at the thin layer of sweat on Yun Qing's forehead and took out a handkerchief to wipe it for her.

Yun Qingluo pursed her lips, secretly pleased.

Since the two became intimate, Mo Beichen seemed to treat her even better, and holding hands had become a regular occurrence.

So, she can be considered to have successfully won over Mo Beichen, who didn't remember her.

"Yun Jin said you're back, so I just came to take a look," Yun Qingluo said softly.

When she heard that Mo Beichen had come back early to the kitchen to tell her to prepare more potatoes, which she liked, she wanted to come and find him.

Since Mo Beichen knew she loved potatoes, he must have also found out some other information.

Yun Qingluo was actually quite unsure of herself.

Mo Beichen noticed Yun Qingluo's unease and sighed, "What you told me is all in the past. We will have a new beginning, so don't worry."

Yun Qingluo looked up at Mo Beichen, threw herself into his arms, and hugged him, saying, "Achen, thank you."

Thank you for always being tolerant of me and for always standing by my side unconditionally.

"We're husband and wife, there's nothing we can't overcome. Okay, don't overthink it. Tonight I want to eat the dipping sauce you made yourself." Mo Beichen didn't want Yun Qingluo to recall those unhappy memories, so he took the initiative to change the subject.

Yun Qingluo hummed in agreement, "Then I'll go to the kitchen to prepare."

Mo Beichen gently patted Yun Qingluo on the back and said "Okay".

That evening, Xuan Ming, Mu Zhi, Mo Beichen, and Yun Qingluo had dinner in the same pavilion where Mu Zhi and Yun Qingluo had lunch at noon.

They had originally invited Baiyi and Baishang as well.

But Baiyi and Baishang said that they were too old to eat anymore.

Yun Qingluo knew that Baiyi and Baishang simply didn't want to see them showing affection.

Anyway, we prepared an extra hot pot and delivered it to their courtyard. The two of them beamed with joy when they saw the hot pot.
