"No need, my wife... What else do you need? If possible, I'll bring it back for you when I return," Shi Xuan said somewhat awkwardly.
Mu Run looked down at her clothes, then took out the two-hundred-tael silver note the princess had given her from her sleeve pocket. "Clothes, shoes, and...books, I want local chronicles or something."
Shi Xuan did not accept the silver note. "Alright, then I'll be going."
"Silver notes." Mu Run insisted on handing them to her.
Shi Xuan said, "No need, I still have the money to buy these."
Then, before he could finish speaking, he hurriedly left the house.
Mu Run looked at the silver note in his hand, blinked, and finally put it into his desk drawer.
On the ground in the courtyard, there was a thin, long red thread, the same red thread that Mu Run had been playing with on her fingertips.
Shi Xuan stopped instinctively as he passed by. However, he quickly continued on his way.
With fresh roast duck to eat, Mu Run was too lazy to cook anymore. She took a bag of roast meat dipping sauce from her spatial storage, dipped the roast duck in it, and ate heartily, thoroughly enjoying herself.
After eating the roast duck, Mu Run looked up at the roof, took out a tool ladder and a Gudu from his spatial storage.
He said to Gudu, "Could you disinfect this room for me? It would be best if you could kill the bugs too."
"Okay." Gudu immediately climbed the ladder and started working.
Mu Run went out first to wait for Gu Dong.
Two hens were wandering around the yard looking for pebbles to eat.
"Coo coo coo—" Mu Run called out, then took out a handful of rice from his spatial storage and threw it on the ground. "Here's your egg, and this is a small token of my gratitude."
The hens, who had never eaten rice before, first tasted it, and then began to scramble for the food.
Not long after, Gudong came out of the room and said to Murun, "The cleaning is complete. A total of 38 scorpions, one snake, 14 rats, and 14,389 cockroaches were removed and disposed of harmlessly."
Mu Run's lips twitched involuntarily. "The Four Pests..."
"I need solar charging." Gudu stood in the sunlight and automatically switched to charging mode.
Mu Run locked the courtyard gate to prevent anyone from suddenly coming in and seeing Gu Dong.
Just as the sun was about to set, Gudu's battery was fully charged, and Murun put it into her spatial storage.
She casually drank a packet of nutritional supplements for dinner, too lazy to cook anything else.
Footsteps came from outside; it was Shi Xuan.
When he reached the door, before he could even raise his hand to knock, she said, "Come in."
Shi Xuan carried a large bundle on his shoulder and held a wooden box in his arms.
"Huh? What is that?"
"What about your clothes and books? Have you eaten?"
"...No." She only drank the nutritional supplements; she didn't eat. "What about you?"
"I ate something outside, I'll go to the kitchen and get you something to eat."
"No need, I'm not hungry." Mu Run opened the box, which contained neatly arranged books.
I opened a book, looked at the words inside... and then silently closed it again.
"Husband, do you know how to teach?"
Shi Xuan looked at her, then at the book in her hand, somewhat surprised. "You can't read?" The princess's head maidservant couldn't possibly be illiterate.
Mu Run nodded honestly.
"Well, I'll teach you when I have time."
"Okay. By the way, the bedding on the bed looked stiff, so I threw it away." Actually, it wasn't her; it was Gudong who disposed of all his bedding, obviously because it had some unclean bacteria or viruses on it.
Following her words, Shi Xuan looked towards the bed... It was indeed empty, revealing a brick-built kang (heated brick bed).
