Chapter 3: Unintentional Infatuation

immediately finding fault with her. Moreover, by directly addressing her as "Mother," she cut off any possibility of the Empress finding fault with her choice of words.Although the empress in front o...An Xuetang was truly tired, closing her eyes and falling asleep soon after.

It was strange, she always slept lightly and couldn't fall asleep with someone around, but somehow this time she slept exceptionally soundly.

When she woke up, the sun was about to set. She had slept for six hours straight.

As soon as An Xue Tang moved, Mo Yun Jing put down the book in his hand and said in a low, dark voice, "Awake"

An Xue Tang was startled, and then she realized her situation.

She slowly opened her eyes and saw that handsome face, so striking it was almost heavenly. She couldn't help but feel, actually, being stuck in this poor place wasn't so bad after all. At least she could still see this charming face.

"Well, you..." An Xuetang began, but after racking her brains for a long time, she couldn't think of what to say.

She simply sat up. After a nap, her body had mostly recovered.

"Hungry Yunliu is preparing dinner."

Mo Yunjing said faintly, An Xuetang looked over, his face was still pale, and those deep eyes, though they seemed cold and indifferent, were extremely beautiful. An Xuetang felt like she was about to be sucked in within minutes.

"Do I have something on my face"

"Uh...no, no." An Xuetang lowered her head. Damn it, she had just unconsciously fallen for him.

She got out of bed nervously, quickly put on her shoes and ran out, "I'm going to check the kitchen."

Mo Yunjing's gaze followed her figure, filled with inquiry. This woman looked...unordinary.

An Xuetang dashed out of the house and patted her chest. Really, why did her heart beat so fast for no reason

Yunliu was dealing with a wild chicken in the yard. He heard a noise and looked up, "You... Sister-in-law, you're up. I'll be roasting the wild chicken later. Could you please go to the village to buy some staple food"

Regardless of how unsuitable this woman's status is for his master, she is at least his master's wife in name now, so it is only right that he calls her sister-in-law.

An Xue Tang raised an eyebrow. “You still need to buy staples” He wasn't cooking

Yun Liu's face flushed awkwardly. "Uh... I can't cook, I only know how to roast some wild game."

"I'll do it," An Xuetang rolled up her sleeves. To be honest, she really didn't want to eat those hard, lumpy buns.

When you go to the village to buy food, you can probably only get steamed buns.

Before entering the kitchen, An Xuetang suddenly turned back, “And after you’ve prepared the pheasant, don’t roast it. Take it to the kitchen, I’ll cook it.”

"Good."

Yunliu thought, An Xuetang was at least a country girl, cooking should be no problem. It seems she's not completely useless.

An Xuetang entered the kitchen and started rummaging through the ingredients. There was a small bag of white flour, a small bag of rice, a large bowl of coarse salt, and a small pinch of fine salt.

Besides, there are no other condiments!

What is she supposed to do without any oilrespect for the original owner.In An Xue Tang's view, she had already paid back what she owed. Now, she was giving Liu Lan one last chance.Whether or not she can grasp it, it's all up to Liu Lan's des...
