"So you're going to the Kingdom of Wu?"
"It could take three months at most, or as little as one month. You'll be all alone in the capital..."
"I'm not alone, I also have Sister Cai, Hongmi and Xiaowan. Manager Jin from Yunduo Inn will also support the teahouse, so don't worry."
"Okay, wait for me to come back."
...
The gate of the Fu residence remained ajar. Madam Cai sat in the gatehouse, making clothes under the light of an oil lamp.
Mu Run has not only grown taller, but also gained some weight, so the clothes she made for Mu Run before, while wearable, didn't fit her perfectly. Now she needs to make several new outfits.
Hearing the sound of a carriage outside, Cai immediately put down her needlework and went out of the gatehouse.
Mu Run was lifted off the carriage by Fu Yunchen, who held her by the waist with both hands, just like he was holding a child...
"...I can get off the bus by myself."
"I'm too lazy to get you a footstool."
“I can jump down myself, it’s not that high.”
"Master, Madam, you're back." Madam Cai opened the door.
"Sister Cai? You haven't rested yet?" Mu Run quickly broke free from Fu Yunchen's grasp and walked towards Cai Shi.
"I can't sleep, so I'll wait for you at the gatehouse, Madam," Cai replied as she opened the gate.
Fu Yunchen said to Cai Shi, "Find someone to guard the gate."
Madam Cai replied, "Yes, sir."
Mu Run returned to her own courtyard, while Fu Yunchen went to the study first and then rested in the outer courtyard.
Redmi has prepared the bathwater and is waiting for Murun.
Seeing the warm water with flower petals floating on it, Mu Run, who was originally sleepy and wanted to fall asleep immediately ran away, feeling itchy all over and wanting to take a bath.
"Run-jie, why are you back so late?" Hongmi helped Mu-run take off her clothes.
"Your boss took me to the River God Restaurant for dinner. I must say, the food there was really delicious. Especially the roasted whole deer. When we make money from our tea business, I'll take you and Sister Cai there too."
"River God Restaurant? I've heard of it. They say it only opens on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month."
"That's right, it's the fifteenth today, it's very lively inside."
"Then Madam, hurry up and sell tea to make money, and let's go eat together again."
"no problem."
The two chatted and laughed, creating a very harmonious atmosphere in the room.
Mo Xiaowan stood outside the door, holding a bowl of bird's nest soup, listening to their laughter, her eyes filled with mockery and contempt... As a lady, to address servants as sisters is also a lowly person.
'Knock knock knock—' Mo Xiaowan knocked on the door.
Mu Run and Hong Mi's laughter abruptly stopped.
Hongmi walked over and asked, "Who is it?"
Mo Xiaowan said, "It was me. I made bird's nest soup for Madam."
Hongmi opened the door and reached out to take the bird's nest soup. "Just give it to me, you can go back now."
"No need, I'll give it to Madam." With that, Mo Xiaowan slipped into the room.
Seeing Mu Run taking a bath, he glanced at her figure, which was dry and flat, and felt even more disdainful. However, his face was full of gentle and sweet smiles. "Madam must be tired after a busy day. I made bird's nest soup for you to nourish yourself."
Thinking of her bird's nest, Mu Run felt a fishy taste in her mouth and replied, "No need. I had deer antler soup tonight, which is quite nourishing. If I drink bird's nest again, I'll get a nosebleed."
“That’s perfect. Deer antler is warming and nourishing, while bird’s nest is mild. It’s better to balance them out.” Mo Xiaowan walked to the bath tub and personally fed Mu Run.
Mu Run looked at Hong Mi beside her.
Hongmi immediately understood and took the bird's nest soup from Mo Xiaowan's hand. "Alright, I'll feed Madam. You can go back now."
