After the new widow, I became a tyrant's tender outer chamber

Chapter 4
When they arrived at the East Chamber, Mu Xiang and the others had almost cleaned up, and the rest of the things hadn't been put away yet. Ruan Yuyi wanted everyone to have lunch first, but for some reason, today's lunch was delayed.

In desperation, Mu Xiang had to go to the dining room to inquire.

Ruan Yuyi was rushing to pay her respects in the morning, and was busy packing up her belongings. Now she felt hungry, and she silently endured the cramps in her stomach.

Mu Ling brought a small plate of peach cakes, "Miss, let's use this first. Sister Mu Xiang will be back soon."

The peach cake was from yesterday, and now it was a bit dry after eating, Ruan Yuyi reluctantly swallowed a piece with cold water, and felt a little better.

"You guys haven't eaten anything, Wood Spirit, so you can take these and divide them up."

"How can I do that? Miss, you—" Mu Ling knew that she was kind-hearted, but Miss Zi must be suffering from hunger at this moment, so she waved her hands repeatedly.

It is said that Ruan Yuyi is the most comfortable master in the house. Although the young lady has only been here for a year, they are not as good as Mu Xiang and the young lady, but the young lady still cares about them. There is a young girl with clumsy hands and feet. , who often make mistakes, has never been harshly criticized.

Therefore, even if she has stayed in this mansion as the newly widowed young wife for more than a year, as long as the servants who have been with her before, they all respect her from the bottom of their hearts.

Mu Ling was moved at this moment, Mu Xiang pushed the door back and came back, followed by a servant girl who was also carrying a tray, she asked people to put things on the dining table, and only opened her mouth angrily when she saw that the person had left.

"It's really bullying, these bad guys who are used to watching people order food."

Ruan Yuyi had never seen her so angry, and it was a little funny, "Who is messing with our Muxiang girl?"

Mu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief before telling the story in detail.

It turned out that Cheng Zhushi, her two sons, and Princess Zhaorong all gathered in her house for dinner today, with the intention of strengthening their relationship.Zhaorong said that he always eats early in his house, so Cheng Zhu asked the dining room to prepare meals early.

It's nothing at all, according to the original meal time in the mansion, at most, I went to Ruan Yuyi's courtyard to eat and eat cold.But these cooks were afraid of neglecting the eldest princess, so they gave too much weight to the other side, so they shorted her side.

The person who delivered the food didn't know how to do it, so he sent the things to the west chamber.When Mu Xiang went to investigate the situation, the person in charge pretended that no one had informed of the news.

After hearing this, Ruan Yuyi picked up the bamboo chopsticks and poked them twice in a plate of cabbage and tofu, and she almost understood in her heart.

Although Mileage Mansion is usually not extravagant, the two dishes and one soup are not the usual dishes and specifications. If it is said why the dining room specially cooks some bland dishes for her, it is hard to believe that no one is obstructing it.

She didn't say anything more, just ate as usual.

At night, Mu Xiang lit the lamp for her, and she suddenly realized that it was much colder here than in the West Wing.In addition, the window paper is old and damaged, and it is inevitable that cool wind will come in through the gap, sometimes blowing the windows to make a rattling sound.

Her quilt hadn't had time to be replaced with a thick one, causing her to curl up in a ball, curled up in the bed, and barely fell asleep.

While half dreaming and half awake, it seemed that someone came in to help her get something to block the window, and only then did the groaning noise stop.

Because she didn't sleep well last night, Ruan Yuyi woke up the next day, her head was still dizzy, she was sitting on the side of the bed, her eyes were bleary.

Mu Xiang pushed the door open and came in, softly said, "Miss, please wake up, this servant will do your makeup for you."

Ruan Yuyi got up and saw the sky outside, the moon was still hanging below, looking like she was about to sink.

She asked, "What time is it? It's still so early?"

"It's about time, the daylight is getting later and later these days." Mu Xiang replied.

Yesterday Ruan Yuyi asked Mu Xiang to call her earlier, so that she could go to Shenghe Temple to find the prince, although they don't know when the prince will wake up, it is always right to go early.

But maybe there was something hidden in her heart, before Mu Xiang came to call her, she woke up by herself.

She sat in front of the mirror, Mu Xiang stood beside her, skillfully pulling her hair and putting on makeup.Mu Xiang has always been capable and dexterous, she knows this, otherwise when most of the servants of the Ruan Mansion were dismissed, she would not have been left alone.

"Miss, how about this?"

Hearing this, she raised her eyes and met the eyes of the person in the mirror.

In the bronze mirror, the woman's hair is like black jade, her eyebrows are like Yuan Dai, her lips are slightly smeared with lip balm, not heavy, it just looks like she has a natural blood color, Ruan Yuyi straightened her temple hair, and the person in the mirror also raised her catkin.

The Ruan Mansion has fallen, and the elder brother who loves her has died in battle. She is in a foreign land, and there is nothing left to rely on, and this skin has become her only weapon to protect herself.

After Jiji, her mother told her experience orally.In the dark room, Ruan Yuyi's face was red and her ears were red, and she could only answer in a vague way. She looked up at her mother, but she saw that her expression did not change.

She has learned [-]% to [-]% of the things, and she is missing the rest, but she can't use them no matter what.

She took it to ask her mother, but her mother said that her face could fill the remaining vacancy, but if she is beautiful and white, if she doesn't use it well, it will lead to disaster.

It's just that now, if she doesn't want to be manipulated by others, she has to use some means.

"Go get that light yellow gauze dress." Ruan Yuyi turned her head and said slowly.

Mu Xiang frowned lightly, and said disapprovingly, "Miss, it's cold in the morning, I'm afraid you'll catch the cold if you wear it like this." The clothes are so thin, how could the young lady's frail body bear it.

"Go get it."

But how did she know that what Ruan Yuyi wanted was this effect, if she happened to catch a cold, her eyes were full of tears, and her illness was as good as Xizi's by three points, that would be called seduction.

Knowing that she couldn't be persuaded, Mu Xiang had no choice but to bring a light yellow lily dress.

The hem of this skirt is made of white flowers embroidered in Suzhou, which is elegant and luxurious, matching her makeup today.Taking a closer look, the waist is closed by a belt, and the lower skirt is made of gauze, so when the wind blows, it must be indescribably light and agile.

Ruan Yuyi changed her clothes, and when she turned around, even Mu Xiang who was facing this person every day was also taken aback for a moment.

In the past, young ladies often wore underskirts, covering most of their figure, but this one now outlines her small waist very well, making her feel a little arrogant and charming, and she feels like she wants to refuse and welcome.

Ruan Yuyi put her hands on her chest, trying her best to ignore the inexplicable anxiety.

I can't tell why, but if I want to compare it, it's similar to the throbbing before meeting an old friend.

"There are so many people that it's inconvenient to do things, the wood spirit will stay in the house," she turned to Mu Xiang and said, "Let's leave the house as soon as possible, lest my aunt come and detain me later."

Mu Xiang raised her arm and gestured to her for a beige cloak in her hand, "Miss, take this with you on the road and wear it for a while, it will be warmer."

"No need." Ruan Yuyi gently pressed her raised hand.

This bit of cold is unbearable, and there is no need to hang around in front of the dead son.

In the early morning, in the still quiet alley, a carriage quietly drove out from Cheng Mansion.
