Hua Yuanzhao thought about it and turned around to go behind the house. Fortunately, the firewood she had stored was still there.

The earthen stove that was dug before can still be used as is, the pots, pans, and utensils are all ready-made, and as for the food ingredients, she has all of them stored up in the research institute.

I had originally thought that if I was taken into the mountains again one day, I wouldn’t have to go fishing on my own, but I didn’t expect it would be used at this time.

"No rush, just eat a few meals first." Hua Yuanzhao said calmly.

She has space in her hands, and she has no shortage of food and water. She is so eager to be locked up!

"Let's prepare the medicine first while no one is disturbing us during the house arrest." Hua Yuanzhao continued, "Go find the pots and bowls you used before, and light the fire. I have some ingredients stored before, go get them now."

After she finished speaking, she left, leaving Fuling standing there stupidly, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

The lady who was only trying to get the medicine prepared was so terrifying!

Hua Yuanzhao was not vague. He first carried a wooden barrel to the space to get a few buckets of water, and then moved out a small bag of flour.

I also took out some vegetables and eggs, enough to last for two days.

Fuling felt a little cold when she took the greens. She looked at Hua Yuanzhao in surprise and said, "Miss, did you build an icehouse in our yard? Why are the greens so cold?"

Hua Yuanzhao didn't answer, but just said: "Let's make some vegetable and egg noodles. Use the water in the bucket, don't save it."

Fuling responded happily, and without asking any more questions, she took the things and left.

For several days, the two were so busy that they sometimes only had time to eat one meal a day.

Later, Fuling simply made pies. If she made them in the morning, they would not go bad even if she kept them in the evening. Whenever she was hungry, she could just take a bite to fill her stomach.

As for the sources of the ingredients and water, Fuling did not ask any more questions. She just used whatever the lady gave them.

The two men were so busy that they didn't pay any attention to what was happening outside.

Hua Yuanzhao originally came back because she was worried about Madam Hua's health, but since Madam Hua didn't send anyone over in the past few days, she pretended to be deaf and dumb.

Anyway, it’s not far away, so if something happens, I can just provide emergency help!

The two men didn't care about being under house arrest and deprived of food, but Hua Yuanshan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, with blisters on the corners of her mouth.

"She didn't make any movement at all?" Hua Yuanshan couldn't help but ask.

Don't the master and servant need to eat and drink? How come they have endured for so many days without running out?

"Miss, we have people guarding around Linyuan Courtyard, and the eldest lady has indeed never come out." Haitang was helpless.

If she hadn't seen the eldest lady and Fuling moving around in the courtyard during the day, she would have thought that there was no one in Linyuan Courtyard!

"Is my aunt's idea reliable?" Hua Yuanshan was discouraged.

She had discussed it with her aunt, and now they were just waiting for the little bitch to make a mistake so they could lock her up in a nunnery!

But when did this bitch become so tolerant?

"No!" Hua Yuanshan stood up suddenly: "I can't just sit there and wait for death!"

She paced around the room several times before suddenly stopping.

Since that bitch doesn't want to move, she can only let the handle be delivered to her door!

"Go and spread the news." Hua Yuanshan said in a low voice.

Haitang was a little worried. Regarding the previous incident with the Xu family, although the young lady was not punished because of her status as the "future concubine", she was still scolded by the master.

If you still use this trick now, what if...

"Just spread it around the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, saying... my dear sister is almost starving to death..." Hua Yuanshan said excitedly.

She wanted to see whether the legendary Prince Rong, who was deeply in love with the little bitch, would come!

In Linyuan Courtyard, the master and servant knew nothing about these things.

Today, the long table used for preparing medicine, which was originally full of medicinal materials, has been replaced by bottles, jars and small paper bags.

Hua Yuanzhao stretched, walked staggeringly to the couch, and lay there, not wanting to move.

Fuling was in a similar situation, and said with some emotion: "Finally it's done!"

I didn’t expect it to be so tiring!

"Have a good rest in the afternoon and we'll have hotpot in the evening." Hua Yuanzhao said lazily.

Although eating hotpot on such a hot day is not very enjoyable, it is the simplest way she can think of to have a feast!

It’s a pity that there is not much meat left, otherwise it would be nice to eat barbecue.

As expected, Fuling was obedient. She shared a pancake with Hua Yuanzhao to fill her stomach, then went back to her room to sleep.

I slept until dark and felt hungry. I ran out and saw Hua Yuanzhao was already stewing the soup base in the pot.

She obediently took the food next to her and ran to wash it. Before she had finished cleaning it, she felt a sudden weight on her shoulders.

"Where's your lady?"

Fuling was so frightened that her hair stood on end, and she could only catch a glimpse of a pitch-black sleeve out of the corner of her eye.

Who would come to their Linyuan Courtyard at a time like this? Could it be that the Second Young Lady sent someone to cause trouble?

Fuling's hands were shaking, and a packet of medicine powder quietly fell into his palm.

She turned around abruptly and threw all the powder in her hand at the visitor, not giving him any chance to speak.

The masked man in black thought he was ambushed, so he changed his outstretched hand into a sweep, and his internal energy gushed out, blowing all the medicinal powder towards Fuling.
