Chapter 169 He Ate Her Leftovers
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
As soon as he left the morning court, Xia Hourui ordered to send the people of the King of Jin held in prison back to the Jin Mansion and to keep under detention. Without permission, no one could leave the Jin Mansion.
In the Jin Mansion.
Xia Houmo didn’t need to attend the morning court from now on. In the early morning, he was lying on the bed with Su Muge in his arms. He refused to let her go until Su Muge was a little annoyed. And then the two got up.
Because the people held in prison had not been sent back yet, there was not even a maid in the mansion except for the secret guards.
Su Muge got up from the bed and reached for the clothes on the screen. Before she could reach out, Xia Houmo hugged her from behind and took her back to the bed.
Su Muge gritted her teeth and slightly patted his chest. “Your Royal Highness, it’s almost noon!”
Xia Houmo turned his head and bit her soft ears gently. “Let me help you change your clothes.”
Su Muge shuddered, and Xia Houmo had already let her go and helped her put on the dress on the shelf.
Su Muge had only noticed a dark shadow in front of her eyes, and she was dressed up.
Was he helping her dress up? It seemed that she would be taken apart by him!
“Your Royal Highness!”
Finally, Xia Houmo finished helping her put on an overskirt, and Su Muge immediately stopped him.
“Your Royal Highness, why don’t you tell someone to prepare breakfast? I will put on the clothes myself.”
“Are you hungry?” Xia Houmo really stopped his hands. He would do many things by himself in the military camp. And dressing-up was just a piece of cake for him. Who knew women’s clothes were so troublesome.
Su Muge nodded.
After Xia Houmo went out, Su Muge quickly put on her clothes, combed her long hair, and tied her hair up into a round bun behind her head. And then she put a mutton-fat jade hairpin into the bun.
When Xia Houmo walked in, she had finished dressing up by herself.
Seeing Xia Houmo with a slight frown, Su Muge realized that all the people in the mansion were taken away. Therefore, no one could be in the kitchen. The only way was to get people to buy some food for them from outside, but the food would become cold when they were bought back.
“There should have a lot of leftover ingredients in the general kitchen. Your Royal Highness, please wait for a while. I will make breakfast for you.”
While speaking, Su Muge walked out of the house and towards the general kitchen.
There was a small kitchen in her yard, but the things in the small kitchen were delivered by people every day.
Hearing her words, Xia Houmo followed her to the general kitchen.
Su Muge walked into the general kitchen. The stuff was arranged in order. When the people of the Jin Mansion were taken away, nobody was working in the general kitchen.
Su Muge went to a cabinet, opened it, and took out the chicken and ribs.
It was said that gentlemen should keep away from the kitchen. However, Xia Houmo had been in the army for many years and didn’t think it beneath his dignity.
When he walked into the general kitchen, he saw that Su Muge was cooking soup in front of the stove seriously. She didn’t even notice Xia Houmo walking in.
Xia Houmo stood in the general kitchen and looked at her. Every movement of hers made him feel so wonderful.
After finished stewing the soup, Su Muge removed the chicken from the soup and put the noodles in the soup.
“Wow, it smells so good.” Su Muge took a deep breath and felt a bit hungry.
After the noodles were done, she took out the noodles with chopsticks and filled the two big bowls.
Just as she finished her work and looked up, she saw Xia Houmo standing in the kitchen.
“When did you come in, Your Royal Highness?”
Xia Houmo looked at her with a pair of soft and affectionate eyes.
“When you came in.”
Su Muge was stunned. It turned out he was always there.
“Your Royal Highness, the noodles are ready. Let’s eat here because it will be cold when we go back.”
Su Muge moved the two stools in the kitchen outside. The people who worked in the kitchen would sometimes make extra meals for themselves secretly because no one dared to comment on them.
In order to facilitate their eating and drinking, those people had even made a small round table in the kitchen.
Su Muge brought a big bowl of noodles to Xia Houmo with a smile and said: “Your Royal Highness, try my noodles.”
Xia Houmo couldn’t help laughing when he saw that the bowl was even bigger than her head.
The noodles were not made in the same size, and the outward appearance was not so good, but the eggs and ribs lying on the noodles looked very appetizing.
Su Muge handed him the chopsticks. Seeing that he was watching the noodles in the bowl, she pouted her lips.
“Your Royal Highness, if you don’t like it, you’d better wait for them to buy some food for you from outside…”
Before she could finish speaking, Xia Houmo had taken the chopsticks from her hand and sat down.
Su Muge was also hungry. She would not bother so much and put some noodles into her mouth with her chopsticks after sitting down.
“Wow, it tastes so good.”
In the meanwhile, Xia Houmo was eating noodles without making a response.
In fact, Su Muge could not eat so much and she had been full after finishing half of the noodles in her bowl. But she felt it a pity to throw away such a big bowl of noodles she had made with great efforts.
Xia Houmo had already finished eating his noodles and looked at her.
“You are full?”
Su Muge nodded, gritted her teeth, and put down her chopsticks.
Xia Houmo glanced at the noodles in her bowl and reached out for the bowl. “I am not full yet.” And then he picked up his chopsticks and continued to eat her leftovers.
Su Muge widened her eyes in amazement.
That was her leftovers!
It seemed to be nothing for her since she didn’t like to waste food. However, Xia Houmo was the King of Jin after all!
It was not so proper for him to eat her leftovers, wasn’t it?!
Xia Houmo finished the noodles fast in a noble and elegant manner.
He didn’t put down his tableware until all the soup in the bowl was finished.
“Your Royal Highness … Are you full?”
Su Muge handed him the handkerchief in her hand.
Xia Houmo raised the corners of his lips after wiping it clean. “Yes, I am full.”
When they were to leave the kitchen, they found Donglin who was stupefied while standing outside. It seemed that he couldn’t come back to his sense in a while.
He had witnessed … the whole process just now! He had seen everything! His Royal Highness had actually eaten all the leftover noodles of Her Highness!
Donglin pinched himself secretly to regain his consciousness.
“Your Royal Highness, everyone was sent back.”
Donglin was talking about the people of the Jin Mansion who had been taken away.
“Pacify them and let them do their duty.”
“Yes.”
Su Muge slightly pulled Xia Houmo’s clothes.
“Your Royal Highness, I would like to see the maid who has been serving Miss Liu.” She seemed to be named little Xue.
Xia Houmo revealed a flicker of darkness in his eyes while holding her hand. “Okay.”
On the other side.
As soon as Liu Rumeng was released from the prison and returned to the Jin Mansion, she went to see Qingyu.
Qingyu could see the flickering shadow in front of him rather clearly now. He was also taken away by the Imperial Guards in the Water Pavilion with Liu Rumeng.
“Brother Qingyu, I have finally found you.”
Qingyu held Liu Rumeng’s hand.
“Rumeng, are you all right?”
“I am fine, Brother Qingyu.”
The two returned to the Water Pavilion together, but Liu Rumeng felt a little uneasy and anxious in her heart. She heard that Su Muge was in the mansion with Xia Houmo now!
Why was the result different from what she had thought!
The most important thing was that she could no longer think about Su Muge now, but she was more worried about how she would be!
She had long been well prepared for the interrogation. But neither Xia Houmo nor Su Muge intended to interrogate her, making her wonder what they wanted to do.
“Miss Liu, please come to meet Her Royal Highness.”
Liu Rumeng held the teacup with a trembling hand, and she had no reaction even if the hot tea was sprinkled out and dripped on her hand.
“Her Royal Highness … wants to see me?”
“Yes.”
“I see. I’ll go right away.”
Liu Rumeng took a deep breath and stroked her hair on her head before following the maid to the Bamboo Courtyard.
Yueru and other maids had been sent back. Since they had only stayed in jail for a short period, there was nothing wrong with everyone apart from being scared.
When Liu Rumeng was brought into the room by Yueru, Su Muge was painting her nails with fresh flower juice.
“Your Grace, Miss Liu is here.”
After hearing this, Su Muge raised her head and looked at Liu Rumeng with a smile on her face.
“Miss Liu, you are here.”
Seeing that Su Muge was unscathed, Liu Rumeng felt so annoyed in her heart. Why? Why did nothing happen to Su Muge even if she had taken such a risk?!
“Pay my respects to you, Your Grace.”
Su Muge threw down the little brush in her hand and laughed out loud.
“Miss Liu, I can’t really afford to be paid respects by you.”
Liu Rumeng revealed a flicker of anxiety in her eyes, knowing that Su Muge had come to her to settle the bill.
“You are the Rani of Jin, and I am just a plain citizen. How can you be unable to afford my respects?”
Su Muge blew her fingernails and said with a smile: “Yes, I’m the Rani of Jin. But it seems that I have almost blocked your way. Do you think the Rani of Jin is too weak?”
Liu Rumeng’s face turned pale, and she immediately knelt to the ground.
“I don’t know what you are talking about, Your Grace. If I have annoyed you, I will leave the Jin Mansion right away.”
Su Muge stood up and walked slowly to her while looking at her. “You will leave the Jin Mansion? Do you think you can leave easily as long as you want to? Little Xue has reported everything. So you’d better explain what you have done completely. Maybe I will be kind enough to leave you a life.”
Liu Rumeng’s face was even paler. She gritted her teeth and said: “I really don’t know what you are talking about, Your Grace!”
Su Muge snorted softly. “What a stubborn woman! Take it up.”
Xinche entered the room with the cloak torn apart by Xia Houkun. Su Muge grabbed the cloak and threw it in front of Liu Rumeng .
“Second Prince has found the evidence of His Royal Highness colluding with the rebel in this cloak. If I remember correctly, you have made it by yourself, haven’t you?”
Liu Rumeng clenched her hands, and her fingertips turned pale. “Please forgive me, Your Grace.”
Su Muge raised her eyebrows lightly. “So, are you admitting your crime?”
“No, no, Your Grace, I have lied to you. In fact, this cloak is not made by me. I have to take care of Brother Qingyu recently, and I have no time to do embroidery work at all. So I asked little Xue to make a cloak for me. I have lied to you at the time, Your Grace. Please forgive me.”
“Oh? That is to say, every part of this cloak is made by little Xue. And you have never touched this cloak before?”
Liu Rumeng nodded affirmatively. “Yes, it was made by little Xue.”
Su Muge raised her lips and looked towards the screen.
In an instant, a figure rushed out behind the screen. Without saying a word, she slapped on the face of Liu Rumeng.
“Liu Rumeng, I’ve been serving you for so many years, but I haven’t expected you to let me be your scapegoat!” She was little Xue who had been arranged to stay in the room by Su Muge.
