Shu'er suddenly thought of something, and walked forward to take out an exquisite little box. "Inside is a pair of white jade and agate bracelets that I specially asked a craftsman to make. This kind of bracelet is very rare in the market. You can take this back and give it to Ruyan. Just say that you bought it during your trip to Persia."
"How can this be possible? The things I prepared for Ruyan have already been loaded on the carriage. How can I still take your bracelet?" Wu Liang refused to accept Shu'er's gift. Shu'er suddenly turned serious and said to him: "If you don't accept it, it's like you don't have a friend like me. Think about it yourself."
"This..." Wu Liang was in a dilemma. He asked his sister for help, but even his sister didn't want to get involved in the matter, so he had to accept the box reluctantly.
"Then I'll take my leave first!" Wu Liang looked at Gu Yunru, and then at the princess and her group returning to Beijing immediately. Shu'er walked to Gu Yunru with a face full of emotion, "Aunt, now my husband is in the government office dealing with all those big and small trivial matters, dealing with those bandits every day. It seems that a large-scale bandit suppression is about to be carried out. I am worried day and night..."
"I can understand your feelings, but Ji Heng's martial arts are still good, so you don't have to worry." Gu Yunru comforted her and finally calmed her down.
It was late at night, with silver light shining on the ground under Gu Yunru's feet as she waited for Rong's return. Before she saw him, she heard a laugh as loud as a silver bell, which reached her ears. Without thinking too much, she knew who the laugh came from.
"Sister-in-law!" Xiangping walked forward with a smile, holding a few ounces of bacon in his hand, and shook the bacon in front of her, "Look at our pickled venison, it's already formed. After a while, we'll take it to Wanchunlou and make some signature dishes!"
"Well... okay." Gu Yunru looked at her with a forced smile, not knowing what to say. It seemed as if the words were choked in her throat and she couldn't utter them.
"Husband, I have prepared black chicken noodles for you, please go and try it." Gu Yunru tried to cook for him. Although the noodles may not taste as good as Xiangping's, she couldn't let Rong Zhen get used to Xiangping's cooking. As the saying goes, to capture a man's heart, you have to capture his stomach. If Xiangping really succeeds in capturing him, then everything she has done will be in vain.
"By the way, Xiangping, I also cooked a bowl of Tremella and Egg Porridge for you." Gu Yunru specially separated the ingredients for the two people and placed a bowl of porridge and a bowl of noodles in front of them. Xiangping turned his eyes and said, "Who drinks porridge so late at night? If you want to eat, I'll eat noodles. Why don't I share a bowl with my brother!"
“………”Gu Yunru didn’t expect Xiangping to be like this… She really couldn’t bring herself to say those words, and could only watch Rong Zhen’s actions silently.
Rong Zhen naturally sensed a cold gaze coming towards him, and he consciously took the bowl of porridge and swallowed it in big gulps without saying a word. Before Gu Yunru could stop him, he had finished the bowl of porridge.
"Hey..." Gu Yunru hurriedly walked forward, not expecting that his speed was so fast.
"Madam, your cooking skills have improved!" Rong Zhen praised her sincerely. After drinking the porridge, he felt his hands and feet were a little light, as if he was in the clouds, and the soles of his feet could not touch the wet ground.
"I'm a little tired, so I'll go back to my room and sleep first. Please help me and Xiangping to clean up." Rong Zhen felt tired, so he excused himself and went upstairs first. Xiangping looked at Rong Zhen's back and slowly tasted the bowl of silk noodles.
"Sister-in-law, your cooking skills have indeed improved a lot, but the sesame oil was added too early. If you want to enhance the flavor, you can add it later. This will ensure that the noodles are tender and fragrant, and the ingredients are delicious and fragrant!"
"Is there any difference between what you said and what you didn't say?" Gu Yunru hated her condescending attitude and the way she always found fault with others. She always couldn't resist the urge to argue with her. Taking advantage of the fact that no one else was around, she simply retorted sharply. Xiangping realized the anger in her eyes and was afraid that she would no longer be able to teach him anything so humbly in the future.
"Sister-in-law, did Xiangping do something bad, so you want Xiangping to leave Huajianlou?" Xiangping slowly put down his chopsticks and looked at her angry expression in confusion. However, he had never seen Gu Yunru say this in such a sarcastic tone before.
The boss has always been kind-hearted. If such a situation really happened, it might just be that person's fault. Xiangping tried hard to reflect whether he had done something to make his sister-in-law unhappy.
"Okay, you don't have to pretend in front of me. Rong Zhen has already gone upstairs. Do you think there's any point in you pretending in front of me?" Gu Yunru began to communicate with her directly, with displeasure revealed in her words.
Xiangping's expression became melancholy. After hearing her words, he slowly sat down opposite Gu Yunru.
"I know why my sister-in-law opened Wanchun Tower, which was to keep me away from Huajian Tower. I did my best to do that, but the relationship between me and my brother is really not what my sister-in-law thought.
Although I did have improper thoughts about my brother, that was a long time ago. Now I just want to be a good cook and don't have any other thoughts. Does sister-in-law really not trust Xiangping?"
"Of course I don't believe it. From the moment you invited my husband to go to the back mountain, I should have been suspicious of you. You tried every means to stay in Huajianlou, wasn't it just to have some time to be alone with him? You did it and I haven't said anything, but there are some things I think I still need to say." Gu Yunru took the teacup and drank it in a gulp. Looking at Xiang Ping in front of her, her face was still so calm and composed. It can be seen that this woman has developed the skill of being invulnerable to swords and guns. To put it simply, her face is as thick as a city wall, and she is unwilling to admit some of the things she has done.

"Sister-in-law likes to judge others by her own standards. Xiang Ping has nothing to say. Since sister-in-law has already ordered him to leave, Xiang Ping has no reason to stay in Huajianlou. In this case, please take care of yourselves, sister-in-law and brother. See you later!"
Gu Yunru watched Xiangping leave Huajianlou so neatly. She had not expected that, could it be that, as Xiangping said, she really judged others by herself? She hoped that she really judged others by herself, and she did not hope that day would ever happen.
