Geng Youran waved his hand to indicate his understanding.
"This is a traditional way of eating it. It may not look very appealing, but it tastes amazing."
Wanru took a bite with a skeptical attitude, and it was indeed much better than she had imagined.
In fact, Geng Youran had never seen this kind of food before when she came to this world.
In her past life, she was a loner and often cooked a dish that would last for several meals. Later, she simply installed a noodle-making machine at home. She would eat the vegetables for the first meal and save the rest to make noodles.
Over time, she actually grew to like this way of eating.
After dinner, the two men talked about how the wife had been feeling unwell that day.
Logically speaking, the Fujin was a person who valued rules very much, and she would not easily cancel the greetings from each courtyard.
The observant Wanru noticed something different.
"You Ran, have you noticed that Consort Li doesn't seem to be here today either?"
Upon hearing this, Geng Youran carefully recalled the scene from that morning and realized that she had indeed not seen Consort Li.
"Could it be that these two people..."
Although Geng Youran didn't say what she was going to say next, Wanru vaguely guessed what she meant.
She suddenly asked:
"Has Consort Li invited you to her place for tea recently?"
"No, I haven't been to the concubine's courtyard for a long time."
Wanru was even more confused now.
“Strange, she asked me to come over a few days ago, but I didn’t go because the Prince was with me at the time.”
"Wait a minute, you don't think that Consort Li is behind the Fujin's illness, do you?"
Wanru shook her head.
"No, that's not it. It's just that there have been some rumors circulating in the manor recently, and after hearing them, I felt that they weren't good."
"What's the meaning?"
Geng Youran was completely confused.
"Rumors are circulating in the mansion that the Fujin (principal wife) has no son and plans to adopt the son of Consort Li."
"impossible!"
This was Geng Youran's first reaction, and also the most normal one.
As far as she knew, the Fujin was an extremely proud person. Even if she didn't have a legitimate son, she wouldn't adopt a son from a concubine, at least not voluntarily.
It seems that the person spreading these rumors behind the scenes may have ulterior motives.
"Alright, stop thinking about it. Maybe it's just a rumor."
After finishing their meal and gossiping, Wanru left with her maid, Huangli.
However, things were not as simple as the two of them thought. Before long, rumors reached the ears of Yinzhen and his wife.
Therefore, Yinzhen had a long talk with his wife.
