”Xia Yu, let's get a vegetable hotpot meal today!”

Chun Jing swallowed a mouthful of saliva and added, ”Sigh, if only there was some cured meat. Make a hot pot with some garlic seeds and add a handful of frozen cabbage. Then, sprinkle it into the fragrant pot and cook it. Tsk tsk, it's so alluring!”

Mu Rousang rolled her eyes at her in annoyance, didn't she know that she also wanted to eat meat?

”Elder sister Chun Jing, don't talk about it anymore. A few days ago, I heard that a household was cut down at the entrance of the marketplace. They said that it was taboo because of eating meat!”

Xia Hua pulled her, and carefully looked around.

”There's such a thing?” Quick, tell me about it! ”

Mu Rousang was really shocked. She had eaten a lot of meat in the past year, but fortunately, she had quite a lot of it in her storage space, and there was no shelf life for her to keep. She took it out to take a look, and it was still very fresh.

Xia Hua immediately told her what she heard from the Wives.

It turned out that the family was really unlucky. They could have endured for a few more months, but who knew …

That family's two year old grandson cried for meat every day. The Old Master was reluctant, so he secretly went to the manor to slaughter a chicken. When it was cooked, he brought it back for him to eat.

Originally, this matter was nothing, but that servant did not notice when he was pouring the trash and had mixed the chicken bones in with it. However, the person next door remembered that the two houses were originally at odds with each other.

Mu Rousang sucked in a breath of cold air, her pair of pitch-black eyeballs following everyone as they looked around. Then, she carefully asked: ”Who's living next door to ours?”

”They say it's a general. Because there are so many people in the house and the residence is too small, he moved here. However, he is still far from our home, and there is a passageway in the middle. Young Mistress is too worried.”

Of course, when he replied, it wasn't because he was a little girl, but it was because of the spring news that came.

”Oh, then I'm relieved.”

Mu Rousang touched her chest. She could not endure it anymore and decided to hide in space to eat. Who could guarantee that the servants wouldn't steal it?

”That's right. Tell the old woman guarding the night to wake up. I'm afraid she won't be able to sleep peacefully tonight.”

In the end, she still remembered the words of that inexplicable general.

Chun Yi said in surprise, ”Eh, young mistress actually knows about it? Young Master has also sent people back to tell us that from tonight onwards, tell this servant to send more men to patrol the courtyard and that there will be a scout who will infiltrate the capital. Tonight, we will search the city without restraint! ”

Mu Rousang looked up at the gloomy sky. Who could tell her what was going on?

”I don't know. When I came back, the investigation was even more serious than usual. I was still worried if I could go to Grandmother's place tomorrow!”

Right now, it was not even convenient to leave through the door. Normally, they would only go to the prince's mansion for around an hour, but now, they needed over two hours to get there. Time was wasted on the road.

The night was not a peaceful one, Yang Zixuan sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that he did not have time today to come back for dinner, and was out eating with his friends.

Mu Rousang was restless inside, and even if it was dinner, she had no appetite.

”Xia Yu, go and find Chun Yan.”

Xia Yu quickly went out the door and quickly brought Chun Rong over, along with Aunt Liu.

When Mu Rousang saw her, she knew that the worry in her heart was real.

”Aunt, do you think this isn't appropriate?”

Today, Aunt Liu did not follow Mu Rousang to Prince Zhong's Mansion, but stayed in the Palace to help her take care of her family affairs.

”Young mistress, don't worry. I'm sure Young Master will be blessed.”

Aunt Liu's eyes seemed to float. In the blink of an eye, she had already seen how the young Mu Rousang had gotten married several years ago, who would have thought that such a small servant like her would receive another secret order.

”But, why do I feel like something isn't right!”

It was a strange atmosphere in the capital!

Mu Rousang exhaled a long breath, her tone carrying a bit of joy and apprehension for the future.

She was very clear about Mu Rousang's personality. This kind of character was only suitable for a man like Yang Zixuan, who was willing to pamper her, and not for the palace that was full of schemes and battles.

She did not know if she should be happy or sad. Su Ruirui had chosen that road, and was destined to never cross paths with Mu Rousang again.

Only the Eastern Gui Garden was completely silent. The place was completely dark as Mu Rousang climbed up to the roof along with Chun Yan and Chun Yi. She quietly sat on the roof and looked at the half of the capital which had turned red from the fire.

”Young Mistress, don't worry!” Spring Dye's words were not sincere.

Everyone could see that the Prince Zhong's Mansion was brightly lit, Mu Rousang could not sit still, and wanted to go to the Prince Zhong's Mansion to take a look, to the Mu Manor, to the Zuo Mansion to take a look.

A warm little hand pressed down on her shoulder, and Chunyi whispered calmly, ”Young Mistress, your heart is in chaos!”

Under the night sky, the orange glow of the fire danced in her eyes. It was the reflection of the sky-high fire that burned the room.

Mu Rousang forced herself to calm down, she did not know how she endured that night.
