The woman's graceful figure looked a little deserted in the bleak night.

Ruan Zhen pursed her lips.

She still had some thoughts about what Tan Yun said.

Fan Kun was the eldest son of the Hou family, so the food and drink expenses were closely related to him. Mrs. Fan loved her grandson so much that she set up a small kitchen for him in the yard.

A chef was assigned to cook for Fan Kun.

Even the tonics that Xu drank every day to nourish the body and help with pregnancy were cooked in the small kitchen. In addition, every now and then, Fan Kun would be given stewed tonics to nourish the body. He never lent it to anyone else.

It is really puzzling that Mrs. Wang went to give the old lady in the kitchen a piece of silver.

Not to mention that after Mrs. Xu married Fan Kun, she followed him on weekdays. Except for the family banquet, she rarely ate in the big kitchen. She was the noble young lady of the Hou family. She could just give the order to eat whatever she wanted. Why bother to spend special money on it?

silver?

If the magnanimity is just to reward money, it is not worth talking about when Tan Yun comes back.

Twilight ambitiously takes over the day bit by bit, the sky turns into darkness, and the light is swallowed up mercilessly.

The thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and Ruan Zhen's eyes flashed.

Yes, those in the small kitchen are Mrs. Fan's people or Fan Kun's people. Every move in the kitchen is under their noses. No matter how stupid Mrs. Xu is, she can't bribe the people in the small kitchen.

So, is she ready to attack Fan Kun?

The box that Mrs. Wang took away from the big kitchen contained the medicine of unknown origin that Mu Jiu had mentioned before.

Use this to replace the body-building medicine prepared for Fan Kun in the kitchen tonight without anyone noticing.

"Girl, why are you standing outside?"

Mother Ge waited and waited, but did not see Ruan Zhen coming back. She chased her out worriedly, and saw Ruan Zhen under the grape trellis.

"During the day, I scolded that girl Tan Yun. Do you want me to scold the old lady a few times?"

She babbled forward and said, "You are most afraid of the cold. The humidity is heavy at night. How can you stay here?"

Ruan Zhen's thoughts were interrupted. She turned around and looked at Ge's mother.

The light was too dark and the view was not clear.

Ruan Zhen smiled slightly, then stepped forward to hold Ge's mother's hand.

The voice is soft and soft.

"Okay, I know I was wrong."

"Why don't you come in? Today we have pheasant stew. It is cooked with fresh bamboo shoots. It is very nourishing. Girls should use more."

Ruan Zhen was led inside by Ge's mother.

"Do you have my favorite sweet and sour fish?"

Naturally, the food in the kitchen will not cater to Ruan Zhen's taste.

"That's not true."

Ruan Zhen felt a little regretful: "Oh."

Mother Ge immediately said: "You have a few bowls of soup today, and I will go to the kitchen to make it tomorrow."

Ruan Zhen still remembers the torment of Ge’s mother who mistook salt for sugar and made her look for water everywhere.

Mother Ge is good at everything, but she can't work in the kitchen. The food she cooks looks good, but the taste is hard to describe.

Ruan Zhen slowly retracted her hand.

She sighed: "Mother Ge, please let me go."

When Tan Yun saw this, he held his belly and laughed.

"My mother always has no idea what her craftsmanship is."

Mother Ge:!!! "You girl, you are laughing at me now. Look at me looking for opportunities not to punish you."

Ruan Zhen has always taken care of others, and now she is busy looking for opportunities.

She suggested: "Let her eat all the fish that mom will cook tomorrow."

Tan Yun:!!!Girl doesn’t love me anymore!

Mother Ge: I’m so offended!

——

Twilight shrouded, with a few sporadic twilight, accompanied by the cold moonlight dotting the night.

As night falls, it gets colder and colder.

The Hou Mansion fell into silence.

Inside the Zhengxuan residence, the lights are brightly lit.

The house was burning with fine silver bone charcoal, and it was as warm as spring.

Mrs. Xu washed herself up, put on a light gauze skirt, and then wrapped herself in her coat before leaving the bathroom.

Mother Wang put a gold bracelet on Mrs. Xu's wrist and said, "My aunt is coming to dine with the master tonight, so please keep me here."

Mrs. Xu's heart was beating fast.

The first time she did something like this, she was inevitably a little flustered.

But recently, Fan Kun rarely slept with her. He always said that he was busy with official duties. If he was really busy, that would be fine. But last night, he actually said that there was no need to rush the matter of the child.

How to be impatient?

Mrs. Xu clearly noticed that Fan Kun had been hasty in asking her these past few times.

She was not enjoying herself at all. However, Fan Kun climbed off her body, kneaded her waist and said affectionately: "Have a rest."

Mrs. Xu was very upset.

I always feel that Fan Kun is a gentleman and follows the rules too much.

In front of outsiders, he would give her the respect of the young lady of the Hou Mansion, but he would never be too intimate with her. He was good at music, but he would not have a romantic relationship with her.

Xu was undoubtedly regretful, but fortunately Fan Kun did not fill up the house.

But not now, what about in the future?

After all, nothing is as important as your children.

Mrs. Xu carefully traced her eyebrows in front of the bronze mirror: "Are you still using your nonsense?"

"Is everything done?"

Mother Wang quickly said: "Madam, don't worry, that woman always thought it was the medicine I took to treat gout. She also took the money and she didn't dare to say anything."

As I was talking, I heard the voice of a boy outside saying hello.

"Greetings to you."

Immediately afterwards, the door was pushed open, making a creaking sound.

A man's figure appeared. He was wrapped in a cloak, tall and had long legs. He always had a gentle smile on his face, as if it could soften the ice.

Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Wang looked at each other, then hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.

"Mr., are you ready for dinner?" she called, then unbuttoned the man's plate with her own hands and took off his heavy cloak.

The woman is dressed in jewels, heavily made up and extremely vulgar.

Fan Kun's smile did not diminish at all. He took her hand and led her inside.

"No, I was very busy today, and I only had a few snacks for lunch. I was really busy and couldn't drag myself away. You also know my father's situation. My father-in-law helped bring up the matter of reinstatement at court this morning. The emperor seemed to be worried.

Something is loose.”

"This is all my fault."

Xu's heart almost melted at this tenderness.

But this matter of the child!!! cannot wait any longer.

"What are you trying to do with me?"

She said angrily: "But no matter what, you have to eat. You won't be allowed to do that in the future."

"This is what I taught you."

Mother Wang was overjoyed to see the sweet couple, and immediately said: "Old slave, I will tell the kitchen to deliver the food."

As soon as she left, there were only two people left in the room.

The aphrodisiac incense is burning in the incense burner, and a wisp of smoke curls up. The fragrance is suitable and makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Fan Kun's brows relaxed, but he smelled the faint scent of medicine in the room.

"Stewing tonic again?"

Xu's eyes flashed, then she walked around the screen and took the white jade medicine bowl from the sandalwood table. Holding it in front of Fan Kun, she tried hard to suppress the trembling of her hands caused by panic.

"It's warm."

Fan Kun didn't notice Xu's abnormality and took it immediately.

He said: "Even if it is my grandmother's heart, I will definitely not let it down."

Then, with Xu's wish, he brought it to his mouth.

This time the medicine was more bitter than before. But Fan Kun didn't think much about it, raised his head, and drank every drop.
