Shen Yejun stood guard in the courtyard until she heard a clattering sound from inside. After thinking for a moment, she went into the kitchen.
When he came out, he was carrying a wooden bucket.
Her hands are meant for embroidery, and she rarely does rough work like this.
However, after Chi Mu told her that she would have a good life following her aunt, she stopped focusing all her attention on embroidery.
Pond fish use a lot of water to take a bath, and she needs to wash her hair. The basin of water that Shen Yejun brought over earlier was not enough for her at all.
She intended to get some water from her spatial storage, but then she heard Shen Yejun's voice from outside.
"Auntie, the water is at the door. There's no one else in the house right now. Open the door and come get it."
The bathroom was dimly lit, and since there were no men in the house, Chi Yu didn't have many concerns.
She opened the door a crack and, seeing that Shen Yejun had already moved away, carried the bucket of water inside.
When she finished washing up and came out, Shen Yejun was just coming out with dumplings.
"Auntie, have something to eat first, and I'll take some mugwort to your room to fumigate it."
It's hot today, and there are quite a few mosquitoes.
Chi Yu closes the door at night and definitely goes back to sleep in her space.
But Shen Yejun didn't know that she wanted to use mugwort for fumigation, so she let her have her way.
"Yeah, my hair will take a while to dry anyway."
As she spoke, Chi Yu reached out and took the dumplings.
However, she didn't eat right away, but said, "There are quite a lot of dumplings, Ye Jun, you should have some too."
Shen Yejun wanted to say no, but the aroma of the dumplings was truly tempting.
In addition, she also knew that Chi Yu didn't eat much.
That huge bowl of dumplings was definitely too much to finish.
Thinking this, she went into the kitchen and got a bowl and a pair of chopsticks.
Chi Yu immediately shared half with her before sitting down to eat in the main room.
Shen Yejun ate two, and asked her to put the rest away.
Chi Yu was a little confused. Shen Yejun noticed her gaze and said, "I would like to ask my husband to try it too."
Upon hearing this, Chi Yu's face broke into a rare smile.
Chi Mu is her nephew, so she was naturally happy to see the young couple getting along well.
She didn't say anything, but after finishing her dumplings, she rinsed her mouth again in front of Shen Yejun and went back to her room.
After returning to the house, she didn't light the oil lamp, but instead bolted the door and slipped into the space.
She doesn't have the habit of sleeping with wet hair, so she dries her hair as soon as she enters the space.
Tonight, Zhuangzhuang will sleep with her sister and the others, so she doesn't need to worry.
Everyone can take this opportunity to get some rest.
After the wedding tomorrow, Lord Fang will be busy with matters in Xiechi'ao; they will still have a lot to do!
Unlike the lively atmosphere in Chijia'ao, Qijia Village was bustling with activity at this time.
Qi Mingyu, who should have been in the bridal chamber, was still lying on the soft couch in the study.
Getting married and consummating one's marriage should be one of the most joyous and anticipated events in life.
However, he felt no joy at all.
His body doesn't allow him to do such strenuous movements.
However, he couldn't wait until they consummated their marriage; he wanted to get Xue Mengyu pregnant as soon as possible.
In this way, even if the truth comes out one day, the Xue family will not be able to turn against him and take the money back.
Just as he was thinking about how to find an opportunity to gloss over the matter, there was a knock on the door.
Madam Shen came in carrying a bowl of sweet soup with eggs.
Seeing her son lying there with a worried look on his face, she put the bowl on the table.
"Second son, Madam Xue is waiting for you. You should go back to your room!"
Qi Mingyu looked up at his mother, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't say a word.
