Su Ruojin shook her head, still saying nothing, "Let's go."
When Xiao Yanchu finished his business and returned to the mansion, he saw Su Ruojin asleep on the chaise longue with a book in her hand.
He took the blanket and gently covered Su Ruojin with it. Su Ruojin was startled and slowly opened her eyes, her gaze still a little unfocused. She murmured, "You're back? What time is it?"
Xiao Yanchu sat down beside her. "It's 7 PM."
Su Ruojin was a little surprised and quickly sat up. "Oh dear, I promised to have dinner with my mother and grandmother, but I've missed the time."
After saying that, she hurriedly got up.
Xiao Yanchu pressed down on her shoulder, "Don't rush, Mother and Grandmother have already eaten, it's not too late to go another day."
Su Ruojin was a little embarrassed, "But I already promised my mother and grandmother, why didn't Yanluo call me?"
"I told them not to call out." Xiao Yanchu had already instructed the household that if the princess was asleep, no one should disturb her, no matter what.
Actually, Aunt Sulan had come to invite her before, but after learning that Su Ruojin was asleep, she didn't allow Yanluo to disturb her.
Consort Jiang and the old lady both doted on Xiao Jin, so they wouldn't care about such things.
The two elders were hoping that Su Ruojin would eat and sleep more and gain some weight.
Xiao Yanchu clapped his hands, and the door opened. Yanluo led the maids in carrying food.
In no time, the table was filled with food.
Crystal pork jelly, sweet lotus root with osmanthus, squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, roasted venison, chicken slices with egg white broth, bamboo fungus and pigeon egg soup, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, shredded bean sprouts, jujube and yam cake, almond tofu...
Yanluo originally wanted to serve the dishes to the princess, but the prince took over the task.
Xiao Yanchu picked up Su Ruojin's bowl and ladled some soup into it, then added some of the various dishes to Su Ruojin's bowl.
“Ah Jin, eat more. If you don’t gain weight back, Mother and Grandmother will scold me again.”
His mother had repeatedly told him that Xiao Jin was too thin and that he needed to fatten her up.
Seeing this, Yanluo wisely waved her hand and withdrew with a group of maids, gently closing the door behind her.
Su Ruojin enjoyed Xiao Yanchu's service. When dining with Xiao Yanchu, there weren't many rules about not speaking while eating. She took a sip of soup and asked, "What did the palace say?"
Xiao Chenyi also felt that this was a good opportunity to get rid of General Su's mansion.
"Heh, a good opportunity? I hope he doesn't regret it. By the way, Yanchu, can you find out who was present when Mu Yao's horse was startled?"
Xiao Yanchu was slightly taken aback, then immediately understood, "You suspect Deng Yi?"
Su Ruojin put down her bowl, picked up a handkerchief and wiped her mouth. "I went to Majia Village today."
Majia Village?
Yan Luo didn't know what Su Ruojin was doing there, but Xiao Yanchu realized it in an instant.
Deng Yi was promoted because he cleared the name of the villagers in Majia Village who were poisoned by pomelo trees.
"What did you find?"
"When that tree died, it was three years old. How could a pomelo-blood tree, which is rare even in Shenyu Mountain, appear in the outskirts of Beijing by such a coincidence, and then just happen to poison a family? And then just happen to be solved by Deng Yi, and then just happen to make Deng Yi's career so successful."
There are coincidences in the world, but too many coincidences make one suspicious.
"Moreover, when I went to the village, an old man told me that after the family where the dead man died, there were homeless people who went to live there, and without exception, they all died. After that, no one lived there anymore. The cause of death was fear. He said that the house was haunted because someone had died there."
Although Su Ruojin claimed to be reborn, she still didn't believe that the people in Majia Village had been scared to death by that thing.
Regardless of whether such a thing actually exists, if it were so easy for it to appear and scare people to death, how many people would die in this world?
