Aunt Zhang was very unwilling to give in. Her skill in casting a curse was not yet perfect, and she had to get close to the target. This great opportunity just slipped away.
She knew in her heart that Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue would be on guard next time, and it would be difficult to take action again.
Yun Ruoxi stared at Aunt Zhang for a long time, only to see her busy in the kitchen, washing rice and vegetables with skillful movements.
The two of them did not deliberately lower their voices when speaking, so Aunt Zhang should have heard it clearly.
If a normal person were to be subjected to such groundless suspicion, he would either rush to defend himself or get angry on the spot.
But Aunt Zhang seemed not to hear anything and continued to work on her own, looking guilty no matter how you looked at her.
Yun Ruoxi snorted coldly and said softly, "Let's go. The fox's tail will be exposed sooner or later. Let's wait and see."
As soon as these words came out, Aunt Zhang's body suddenly stiffened. She subconsciously looked up and happened to meet Yun Ruoxi's half-smile. That look seemed to be able to see through her thoughts. She was frightened so much that she shuddered all over and quickly looked away.
Yun Ruoxi felt very happy when she saw her like this, and thought to herself: I told you not to stand at the kitchen door and scare us before, now I will let you taste the feeling of being scared.
Speaking of which, Aunt Zhang was initially jealous of Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue's good fortune.
After they married into the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, they had no worries about food and clothing and never suffered any hardship.
Even though her family has now been confiscated and she has been exiled, her parents still stick with her and have escorted her all the way. It is obvious that she was raised in the palm of their hands.
On the other hand, I was just a maid serving Xiao Bin. After being targeted by the lewd villain Xiao Bin, I was unable to resist and could only accept my fate.
At first she was just a maid, but later she used the magic spell to bewitch Xiao Bin and was promoted to concubine.
Looking at Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue now, which woman would not feel jealous?
Just now, Aunt Zhang wanted to give Mu Ruxue a mind-controlling poison, but Yun Ruoxi was quick-witted and pulled Mu Ruxue away, so her plan failed.
It will be extremely difficult to cast a spell on someone from now on.
Aunt Zhang behaved strangely today. Even when everyone sat together for dinner, Yun Ruoxi was still wondering what she was up to.
"What are you thinking about? Why are you so absorbed?"
A gentle male voice was heard. Yun Ruoxi looked up and saw that it was Xiao Jingrui. She then told him everything that had just happened.
But Xiao Jingrui was also confused and couldn't guess what Aunt Zhang was thinking.
Xiao Jingxuan on the side nervously pulled Mu Ruxue, looking her up and down until Mu Ruxue's face turned red with shame, and then he reluctantly let go.
Yun Ruoxi looked at this scene with a frown on her face, and complained in her heart: Good fellows, you show off your affection as soon as you have a disagreement, you are really something.
In the past few days, Yun Ruoxi and Xiao Jingrui didn't communicate much, but Mu Ruxue was chatting enthusiastically with Xiao Jingxuan.
Look, at this moment the two of them are still holding hands tightly. It really shows how the world is going downhill and people’s hearts are no longer as they used to be.
Fortunately, the fried rice made by Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue at noon was well received and everyone praised it. Only then did Yun Ruoxi temporarily put the matter of Aunt Zhang behind her.
After dinner, Zhao helped her grandmother back to her room to rest, while Xiao Jing went to check the carriage.
Xiao Jingxuan pulled Mu Ruxue aside to talk in private. Only Xiao Jingrui and Yun Ruoxi were left in the room, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
Yun Ruoxi's eyes were evasive, and she looked left and right, but she didn't dare to look Xiao Jingrui in the eye.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jingrui suddenly spoke up, saying something shocking: "Madam, did you not get enough rest? Your husband will accompany you to sleep for a while."
Yun Ruoxi was about to refuse when her body suddenly lightened and Xiao Jingrui picked her up sideways.
Seeing this, Jamel Xiao tactfully pulled Mu Ruxue into his room, leaving ample space for his elder brother and sister-in-law.
Yun Ruoxi's face flushed red as she stammered, "I...I'm not sleepy."
Xiao Jingrui gently placed her on the bed, quickly took off his coat, got into bed, stretched out his arms and hugged Yun Ruoxi into his arms, his voice low and gentle: "Be good, let your husband hold you and sleep with me for a while, okay?"
The voice was deep and mellow, and anyone who heard it would be confused. Yun Ruoxi instantly lost the strength to struggle and nestled obediently in his arms.
She was not sleepy at all, but when she smelled the faint soapberry scent on Xiao Jingrui, her eyelids became heavier and she gradually fell asleep.
When she fell asleep, Xiao Jingrui gently kissed her forehead, then hugged her and slowly fell asleep.
When the two woke up, it was already past dinner time.
Dinner was prepared by Jamel Xiao and Mu Ruxue, and it turned out to be a steaming hot pot.
When Xiao Jingxuan saw his elder brother and sister-in-law coming, he hurried to the kitchen to bring out their meals.
As soon as Yun Ruoxi sat down next to Mu Ruxue, she felt uncomfortable because of her scrutinizing gaze.
"Tell me the truth, how far have you two progressed?"
Mu Ruxue, with a gossipy look on her face, leaned over to Yun Ruoxi and whispered in her ear. Yun Ruoxi's cheeks flushed as she whispered back, "Just...just as you know."
"I don't believe it. Looking at how close you two are, I don't believe your affair has lasted for less than a month." Mu Ruxue persisted.
Yun Ruoxi helplessly held her forehead and explained, "We've only known each other for less than a month, how can there be a one-month 'affair'?"
"That's right. Then you guys..."
"Don't just ask us, tell me about you two first. You haven't let go of each other's hands the whole day." Yun Ruoxi cleverly changed the subject.
Mu Ruxue was generous and said frankly: "Yes, he confessed to me, and I want to try to talk."
"Sure, sister, awesome!" Yun Ruoxi gave a thumbs up.
"Low key, basic operations."
The two of them were laughing and thought their voices were quiet, but they didn't know that the two brothers next to them could hear them clearly.
After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms early to rest. Strangely, everyone seemed to be in sync and slept together that night.
