As the night deepened, Yun Ruoxi leaned against the window, looking at the swaying shadows of the trees in the yard. She gently put down the teacup in her hand, no longer worrying about what would happen next.
As the morning light began to break, Liu Yong and Liu Gang slowly opened their eyes. After the poison was cured, they looked dazed. They subconsciously stood up and left the yard with unsteady steps.
In the next room, Mu Ruxue was sleeping soundly, breathing evenly and deeply, completely unaware of the changes that had quietly taken place outside.
During this detoxification, everyone clearly felt that most of their strength had been drained from their bodies, and their limbs were weak.
A deep sleepiness overwhelmed them like a tide, and they slept for a whole day and night.
It was not until the next morning when the sunlight filtered through the window lattice and shone into the house that everyone slowly woke up.
Yun Ruoxi moved slightly and felt the warmth beside her. She turned around and saw Xiao Jingrui sleeping quietly beside her.
As soon as she moved, Xiao Jingrui immediately opened his eyes, his voice a little hoarse and gentle: "What's wrong? Do you want to drink some water?"
Yun Ruoxi's tense body relaxed instantly, and she said softly, "No, I'm not thirsty."
Xiao Jingrui stretched out his long arms, holding her in his arms, and murmured: "It's still early, you can sleep a little longer, we have to get up early to travel tomorrow."
Yun Ruoxi lay in Xiao Jingrui's arms. Although she had slept for a long time, she did not feel sleepy at all at this moment.
But with Xiao Jingrui beside her, she couldn't enter the space directly.
So she closed her eyes, seemingly resting, but in fact her consciousness had already entered the space.
She skillfully planted and harvested in the fields, and then carefully checked the supplies accumulated during this period.
Gold, silver and jewelry piled up like mountains. Looking at the dazzling wealth, Yun Ruoxi secretly sighed in her heart that confiscating property was indeed a highly profitable business. The huge amount of gold and silver was enough to support a small country.
But what she wanted in her heart was just a simple and stable life. To her, these riches were just a guarantee, not a pursuit.
As soon as the sky was getting light, Yun Ruoxi got up quietly, walked into the kitchen and started preparing breakfast.
The flames in the stove danced happily, making her face slightly red.
When Xiao Jingrui heard the noise, he also stood up and walked into the kitchen, silently helping to wash rice and vegetables. The two of them worked together in perfect harmony, and silent warmth filled the small kitchen.
As soon as the rice was steamed, Mu Ruxue walked in with Jamel Xiao. Mu Ruxue raised her eyebrows, a hint of teasing flashed in her eyes: "Oh, you have quite a tacit understanding."
Yun Ruoxi said with a smile while cutting vegetables: "It's not that bad. I haven't eaten for a whole day and night. Even if I'm in good health, I can't stand the hunger."
She glanced at Jamel Xiao who was following behind Mu Ruxue, and seeing the intimacy between their eyebrows, she knew that their relationship had become closer.
Afterwards, Xiao Jingrui and Xiao Jingxuan helped on the side, while Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue focused on cooking.
The aroma fills the air as the food is stir-fried with a spatula.
Just as they were busy, Yun Ruoxi's eldest brother, Yun Ruoyang, walked in and asked with a frown, "Why do you feel so tired after detoxifying?"
Yun Ruoxi's men continued to explain, "This time the poison is quite strong. It's not just a simple poison, it also contains parasites, so it's harmful to the body."
She secretly thanked herself for being cautious when preparing the potion. Although the efficacy was weakened by the addition of spiritual spring water, fortunately the secret of the space was not exposed, and the healing speed was far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Yun Ruoyang looked at her sister's skillful movements and asked in confusion, "When did you learn to cook? Why didn't I see you cooking at home before?"
Yun Ruoxi smiled and replied, "This is what my master taught me. I know quite a few dishes. I'll cook them for everyone to try when I get a chance."
Hearing that it was taught by his master, Yun Ruoyang temporarily put aside his doubts.
He recalled the instructions given by his grandfather and father before he left, and felt a sense of emotion. He had thought that escorting the exile team was an easy task, but he did not expect that there would be dangers along the way. Fortunately, they followed him, otherwise his sister and others would not be safe.
"Okay, the food is ready. Everyone, please help bring it out. We'll have to hurry on our way after dinner. We've fallen behind on our journey these past few days, so we might not have time to cook properly later."
Yun Ruoxi said as she plated the last dish.
Mu Ruxue smacked her lips and smiled, "That's true. It won't be easy to have a hot meal later. I want to eat more today."
Several men came forward and brought the food to the main room.
Because there were many people today and the dishes were plentiful, Yun Ruoxi thought that everyone had just finished detoxifying and was weak, so she wanted to make some nutritious meals for everyone to nourish them.
It’s a pity that I couldn’t find a chicken, otherwise it would be perfect to make a pot of chicken soup.
Everyone sat at separate tables in the main hall, one table for boys and one table for girls.
Just as everyone picked up their chopsticks to eat, Wang walked into the kitchen and prepared to cook.
In the past, cooking for the second house was done by concubine Zhang, but now that concubine Zhang is not around, the mistress of the main house, Wang, actually cooks herself.
Mu Ruxue leaned close to Yun Ruoxi and gossiped in a low voice, "Doesn't the second house have a concubine named Bai? Why does Wang Shi need to cook for herself?"
Zhao explained, "Mrs. Bai should have quite a bit of money, and Xiao Bin should be hoping to make a comeback with the Bai family's wealth. So, at this point, Mrs. Wang seems unimportant. Could it be that Mrs. Bai is more important to Xiao Bin?"
Mu Ruxue curled her lips, her face full of disdain: "This Xiao Bin is really snobbish. He favors whoever he can use."
Yun Ruoxi shook her head and advised, "Okay, just say a few words. We should pay less attention to insignificant people. It's not worth getting angry over strangers."
Madam Xiao also smiled and agreed: "Granddaughter-in-law, this idea is right. As long as we live our own lives well, no one else matters."
