Zhao Jingyi returned to He Ningxuan, opened the window and looked out, only to see a tattered lotus leaf.
With no lotus flowers to admire in early winter, Zhao Jingyi angrily smashed the window.
What bad luck! The courtyard I finally managed to snatch has lost its most beautiful scenery; it's not even as good as the Third Prince's residence.
Green Willow hurriedly came up and closed the window. "Consort, be careful not to catch a cold."
Zhao Jingyi sat in deep thought for a moment, then called over Lvliu and whispered a few words in her ear.
Green Willow looked troubled. "Consort, this is the Zhao residence. I'm afraid..."
"Go find Butler Lu, he will cooperate with you."
Upon hearing this, Green Willow immediately understood and nodded, saying, "Please rest assured, Consort, this servant will definitely handle the matter properly."
After dinner, Su Ruojin had just returned to her room when Yanluo, accompanied by two maids, brought in a pot of Zhuangyuanhong camellia.
"Miss, these are flowers sent by Butler Lu. He said your room is too plain and he wants to add some decorations."
This pot of Zhuangyuanhong rose-red petals are layered upon each other and blooming very profusely.
Su Ruojin glanced at it, said nothing, and let Yanluo put the flowers in the room.
"How is Qinniang recovering?"
They came to the Zhao residence, bringing Qinniang and the child with them.
"Miss, Qinniang's wound has healed and she's fine now, but she just can't stay still," Yanluo said.
Originally, Yanluo was considerate of Qinniang because she had just given birth and wanted her to rest properly, but Qinniang refused and always tried to take on more work.
Su Ruojin smiled and said, "It's alright. If she's willing to do it, let her do it. It's getting cold, just make sure she doesn't touch cold water."
She understood Qin Niang's intentions; she had saved Qin Niang and her child's lives, and Qin Niang wanted to repay her kindness.
If you don't let her do anything, I bet Qinniang won't feel comfortable either.
Fortunately, the Zhao family had many maids and servants who did menial work, so Qinniang didn't have to do any of the rough work. She also didn't have much to do herself, so she wouldn't get too tired.
"Yes, miss."
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Su Yiting entered.
"Little sister, I'm leaving the Zhao residence tomorrow to handle some business matters. Be careful, and send me a message by carrier pigeon if anything comes up."
Su Ruojin nodded, "Fifth Brother, don't worry, you take this."
She handed Su Yiting two small bottles. "This bottle contains antidotes. It can cure most common poisons, and it can also slow down the spread of poison in special cases. This bottle contains wound medicine, which can be used for sword and knife wounds."
Knowing his younger sister's medical skills, Su Yiting accepted the gift without ceremony, saying, "Thank you, little sister. When you get married, your fifth brother will definitely prepare a generous dowry for you."
"Then I'll thank you in advance, Fifth Brother."
Su Ruojin didn't take Su Yiting's words to heart at this moment, and she didn't care about dowry or anything like that anyway.
She was so shocked when she saw the dowry her fifth brother had prepared for her that she was speechless.
After seeing Fifth Brother off, Su Ruojin also went to sleep.
In the middle of the night, she was awakened by a strange sound, which sounded like chewing.
When she opened her eyes, she was both amused and exasperated by what she saw.
Then I saw Mao Mao sitting next to the pot of Zhuangyuanhong (a type of Chinese herbal medicine), happily munching on a small snake.
The little snake was only as thick as two chopsticks, its whole body was black with red rings on its body, and its triangular head was red.
Bloodfang Ringed Snake!
For something to make Mao Mao eat so happily, it couldn't be an ordinary venomous snake.
The snake wasn't big, so Mao Mao ate it very quickly.
Even after finishing the food, he was still a little unsatisfied, so he reached into the Zhuangyuan Red Soil and dug out two more pieces, which he then began to gnaw on.
