"Go eat over there, I'll make some soup to warm you up." Fu Yunchen handed Mu Run a small rattan basket so she could put the roasted sweet potatoes in it.
Mu Run accepted it, saying, "Thank you, sir."
I came out feeling bloated and bloated, but after seeing him, not only did my discomfort disappear, but I also regained my appetite.
Mu Run sat on a small round stool with a small wicker basket of sweet potatoes on her lap, enjoying the sweet potatoes little by little.
After Fu Yunchen started brewing the cold-dispelling soup, he watched her eat it.
Mu Run thought he wanted some too, so she handed him one, saying, "Try it, it's pretty good."
Fu Yunchen took it. "Okay."
Outside the kitchen, the steward noticed a candle burning inside and went to investigate.
As soon as I arrived at the kitchen door, I saw Qiao Dongzi standing guard outside.
Qiao Dongzi blew at him, signaling him to step back.
The steward immediately understood that it was the Grand Commandant inside, and hurriedly bowed and left.
"Don't eat too much, this stuff is bad for your stomach."
"I know, so I'll only eat two and then stop. Do you want more?" Mu Run handed him another one after he finished the one in his hand.
Fu Yunchen: "No need, you can keep it and eat it slowly. The warming soup is almost ready."
"I don't need to drink it, do I?" Mu Run felt that she was no longer cold after eating the sweet potato.
Fu Yunchen still served her the soup to warm her up, saying, "Whether you drink it or not is up to you."
Mu Run looked at the bowl of warming soup that smelled of Chinese medicine, then glanced at Fu Yunchen. Would he be unhappy if she really refused to drink it?
What if he gets upset and sells her off...?
"I, I'll drink it. I suddenly feel a bit cold." Mu Run forced a smile.
Fu Yunchen: "..."
Mu Run held her breath and drank the cold-dispelling soup. Sure enough, it worked immediately; she felt a thin layer of sweat appear on her back.
My whole body felt incredibly refreshed and invigorated.
"This soup is really good. How did you make it? I'd like to learn and make it for Xiaoxing and Qiaoyu later."
“I can teach you. Be here again tomorrow night at this time.”
"Okay, thank you, sir." Mu Run said happily.
Fu Yunchen reached out and pinched her rosy cheeks after she finished drinking the soup. "Go back to sleep."
Then he left first.
Mu Run: "..."
Was she taken advantage of?
After washing up again, Mu Run crawled into the quilt on the large communal bed, finally feeling sleepy, and fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Mu Run was still in the middle of a dream when Xiao Xing woke him up.
"Hua Ling, wake up quickly."
"...What's wrong?" Mu Run turned over, still feeling sleepy.
"Miss Baochan is looking for you," Xiaoxing said urgently.
Bao Chan? Bao Chan! Mu Run woke up with a start.
Then I saw Xiaoli, waiting for her to get up with a blank expression.
"Sister Xiaoli is up so early." Mu Run looked at the sky outside, which was still dark.
Xiao Li replied, "The young lady summons you for questioning."
Mu Run quickly replied, "Oh, okay."
After getting dressed, under Xiaoxing's worried gaze, she followed Xiaoli.
Just as he stepped out of the servants' quarters, he ran into Qiaoyu carrying a basin of water back. Upon seeing the little fox beside her, his expression changed drastically.
He asked with great concern, "What is this?"
"I'm going to see Miss Baochan, I'll be back soon," Mu Run reassured her.
"Hey, I'm cleaning the library today. They need some help, and Xiao Xing is there too. Remember to come find us when you're done."
“No problem,” Mu Run readily agreed.
Xiao Li led Mu Run towards Fang Yu Xiao Zhu, where Bao Chan was staying.
On the way, Xiaoli looked back at her and said, "You seem to have changed."
