Chapter 28: Moving into the Eighth Prince’s Mansion (2)
In the old woodshed, two figures were busy cleaning the corners. Unexpectedly, time passed quickly and the sky and the earth suddenly became dark.
"Huh~ Miss, it's finally done!" Lu Rong glanced around, and the scattered firewood and straw in the small house were also moved to a corner.
Lu Youruo looked around with satisfaction and said, "From now on, this is where you and I will stay!"
"Miss, there isn't even a quilt here, let alone a bed! How can we sleep?" Lu Rong looked at You Ruo helplessly. There was nothing extra except dry firewood and hay.
Youruo pointed to a pile of dry firewood and straw, "Let's spread the firewood underneath and spread more grass on top, and that's it!"
After Lu Rong listened to Youruo's words, he didn't express any opinion and stared at Youruo pitifully.
"We are new here. We are all happy if you can give us some grass, you know?" Lu Youruo's hand was very heavy, and Lu Rong's little fat face was pinched until it turned red.
Lu Youruo has never lived in a firewood house. Even in the 21st century, the hotels she stayed in had to be deluxe rooms. But now, she had to hold on and not show weakness. The entire Prince's Mansion had not given them a good look, let alone allowed them to do so.
They bully me!
Lu Rong covered his face and looked at Youruo eagerly, "Miss, I'm hungry!"
When they arrived at the Eighth Prince's Mansion, they were only given an old firewood shed, no kitchen, and no ingredients.
You Ruo glared and said, "I just know how to eat! Wait for me here, I'll go get something to eat and come back!"
"Miss, I'll go with you!" Lu Rong said and followed You Ruo.
You Ruo turned around and said, "No, you are clumsy!"
"Okay... Miss, please come back soon!" Lu Rong stared at the small woodshed without candlelight, feeling scared to be alone.
"Well..." After saying that, Youruo walked away gracefully.
Tonight is a new moon night, there is no moon to shine on the earth, and Youruo's figure carefully avoids the girls passing by in the palace.
Prince Ying's mansion was very big, and Lu Youruo had been shopping around for more than half an hour, but still couldn't find the kitchen.
He stopped by the pond and leaned tiredly against a big tree. In this palace, there are jade paving roads everywhere. Every ten meters apart, there is an oil lamp illuminating the road. The mountains and rivers are perfect.
Looking at this scenery, Lu Youruo was very curious. According to her understanding, among the nine dragon sons of Zhai Yuan, the least favored one was undoubtedly the eighth prince, King Ying. However, looking at the grand scene in the palace, he was more unfavored than the prime minister
The house is also luxurious.
"Ah...ah" a roar came into Youruo's ears.
Youruo walked towards the source of the screams, getting closer and closer, and she saw the word 'Lanyuan' on the door sign of the courtyard.
The horrifying roar resounded throughout the entire courtyard. You Ruo wanted to open the door and enter the courtyard to test the situation. She could guess that in Prince Ying's Mansion, no one else but Zhai Xiying dared to scream like this.
Just as he was about to open the door, a man blocked You Ruo's movement.
"Miss Lu, this is not the place for you to come!"
"Ah! Who are you?" A man in black appeared out of nowhere, startling You Ruo.
The man in black covered his face with a layer of black cloth and said in a stern tone: "Miss Lu, please come back!"
Lu Youruo guessed that this person who could appear in front of him openly and drive her away was definitely not an assassin, but Zhai Xiying's secret guard.
Anyway, they were discovered, so Lu Youruo asked in a rude manner: "This man in black, can you tell me where the kitchen is?" His voice was trembling.
The man in black felt nothing after hearing this, and his tone remained stern, "Go straight and turn left."
After making sure that Lu Youruo would not enter the house again, he disappeared in a flash.
You Ruo was amazed, could this be Qing Gong? Or some kind of magical skill?
Following the directions to the kitchen, there was no one inside but a few candles were lit.
You Ruo successfully sneaked in and found a fragrant tender chicken lying in the pot, which made her salivate.
