Chapter 208 Cooking in person
Xue Ruanruan smiled without arguing, only she knew the immense injustice and humiliation the Xue family had suffered in their previous life.
She is repaying a debt of gratitude from a past life.
"Your Highness, the Third Prince Murong Luo is a man with ulterior motives; you must be careful."
"What makes you say that, Miss Xue?"
Murong Xun paused, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, his voice low and dangerous.
"Your Highness, please be careful. I will not harm you."
What could she say? Could she say that she had already lived through a lifetime, or that the person she married in her previous life was Murong Luo?
She couldn't tell anyone the secret in her heart, so she could only proceed cautiously and prudently to prevent any potential problems.
"The king knows."
Murong Xun lowered his eyelids slightly, looking at the pale blue tea in the teacup, remaining silent.
The red figure gradually disappeared into the blizzard and could no longer be seen. The man still stood tall, gazing into the distance.
Miss Xue seemed to be hiding a huge secret, which made him even more interested in her.
"Master, you just let the divine physician leave like that, without even leaving her a meal?!"
Yan Xiao kept a close eye on the activity in the study. The moment the door opened, she immediately put down what she was doing and waited outside.
Only after Xue Ruanruan's figure completely disappeared did she stare wide-eyed at her master in disbelief, her expression clearly showing reproach.
"Are you free lately?"
Murong Xun narrowed his dark eyes, looking dangerously at his subordinate standing at the door, his tone full of pressure.
Yan Xiao suddenly stopped and fled the mansion as if flying.
That's terrifying! Whenever my master makes that face, it means someone's going to be in trouble. This time it was my turn, and I almost scared him to death.
After leaving the Regent's Palace, Xue Ruanruan did not linger and went straight back to the General's Mansion.
Now that her family is still alive, she cherishes the time she spends with them even more. Since she happens to have some free time today, she might as well show everyone her cooking skills.
"My sister is finally back."
Xue Li saw Xue Ruanruan's happy, childlike, innocent smile and followed her like a little shadow, unwilling to leave.
Why didn't Li'er go to the academy today?
"Sister, the academy is closed today, how could you forget about this?"
Xue Li pouted, somewhat unhappy, feeling ignored by his older sister.
"It's all my fault for being so slow-witted. I forgot that today is Li'er's day off. To make up for it, I'll cook something delicious for Li'er myself, okay?"
Xue Ruanruan doted on her only younger brother, partly because of her past life, and partly because the boy was so sensible that it broke her heart.
As the youngest child in the General's Mansion, she should have been pampered, but because her master stole her away, her family was too worried and neglected her.
Since she returned to the manor, Li'er has been extremely affectionate towards her, and has not complained at all about neglecting him because his mother is worried about him.
"Really? Sister didn't lie to Li'er?"
Hearing that his older sister was going to cook for him personally as an apology, Xue Li's eyes lit up, and he grinned from ear to ear, his face full of flattery and surprise.
Xue Ruanruan felt a pang of sadness in her heart. Her younger brother, who should have been the center of everyone's affection, had become a nobody in the manor. How could she not feel heartbroken?
"When have I ever lied to you, Li'er? What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."
Xue Ruanruan never makes empty promises; if she says she'll cook, she really will, not just talk the talk.
She's been so busy making money lately that she's neglected her family. Her two sisters-in-law have come to talk to her several times, but they've all turned upside down.
