Chapter 36: Water with a Strange Fragrance
next day
It's another sunny day
Tzu Oi Tong
Ever since Li Junlan became invisible after she fell ill, Shangguan Yue was thrown into a corner, and the old lady exempted them from the morning and evening visits. She also didn't want them to come every morning and evening, as it was hard work for everyone.
Only Shurou was disobedient and came every morning and evening, but most of the time she was here to deal with household matters. She had thought that it would be better to leave it to her, as the mistress of the general's mansion was not in charge and she was old.
Although Shurou is a concubine, she is also her cousin's granddaughter. Moreover, this child is very careful in doing things. She always asks her, an old woman, for advice on everything and is very filial to her. Her attitude is very thoughtful.
She has been asked to deal with many things in the mansion, so let her learn well. It is possible that she will be the head of the family in the future.
It’s a pity that she still has no great-grandson, but today Lan’er seems to be in good health, so Yan’er should also have a legitimate son.
"Shurou! Yan'er has returned now. She doesn't need to go back to the border. The emperor has been so kind that Yan'er has three months of rest. Take good care of Yan'er during this time. Also, take care of Lan'er. Ask the doctor to check her health again and give her the necessary supplements. Let Yan'er have a legitimate son soon."
The old lady took Zhang Shurou's hand and patted the back of her hand gently, giving her instructions.
"Yes, old lady, don't worry! Shurou knows everything and will make arrangements."
Zhang Shurou suppressed her anger and served the old lady breakfast very carefully.

As soon as Zhang Shurou left Ci Ai Tang, she returned to Dong Yuan with a distorted face. As soon as she entered the room, she swept all the exquisite tea sets on the table to the ground with one hand.
Green Bean was so scared that he knelt down and huddled aside, trembling and not daring to move.
Zhima was still standing behind Zhang Shurou, slowly fanning her.
"I'm so angry! That old hag is so mean! I visit her every morning and evening, and help her wash and eat, but she doesn't remember my kindness to her at all, and instead thinks about that dying bitch! Is it because she is the legal wife?"
Zhang Shurou was so angry that her heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys all ached. She wanted to get a glass of water, but found that she had smashed the tea set to pieces.
She was so angry that she rushed forward, grabbed the hair of Green Bean who was hiding in the corner, dragged him into the house, and kicked him madly.
Lu Dou screamed in pain, and the louder she screamed, the more frantically Zhang Shurou kicked her.
"You bitch! You said you saw that bitch taking the secret medicine, but why didn't she die? You didn't finish the job and you dared to come back and lie to me! I'll strangle you to death, bitch!"
"No... um... I really put it... secretly put it... in the food that Xiaoman was holding. I also... I really watched her eat it, but I didn't know that she was clearly taking the Chinese medicine... but she... wasn't... dead yet. Aunt... Aunt, please... spare me..."
"Auntie, Mung Bean is still useful, don't kill her for now. The master has helped you with your matter today, whether you can sit in the position of the general's wife depends on your ability.
Also, you have to complete the master's work as soon as possible. If you succeed, it will be great. If you fail, let the master die suddenly..."
Zhima's cold voice passed through Zhang Shurou's ears and entered her mind, making her feel cold.

Rose Garden
Early in the morning, Chen Bianbian ate a quick breakfast and dragged Shangguan Yue, who had not finished eating yet, and ran excitedly to the Rose Courtyard, forbidding the maids to follow them.
When Chen Bianbian saw the shabby state of the Rose Courtyard, he really wanted to drag Li Junlan out and give her a good beating. This mother was so irresponsible. How could she bear to let her child suffer alone in such a shabby place?
Chen Bianbian fetched a bucket of water with a laugh. Oh! He scratched his head and realized what he was going to use to boil the water.
Looking at Shangguan Yue who was standing aside with her arms folded and smiling, Chen Bianbian glared at her and threw the rope away in annoyance.
"You're just standing there watching me laugh, aren't you?"
"I didn't even have a full breakfast! I'm so skinny and you don't feel sorry for me."
"Oh! Okay, okay, let's get down to business! It's not like you won't have anything to eat. I'll make sure you're well fed from now on until you become a big fat girl!"
"No, no! I won't do it, fat girl. I'm obsessed with looks, you know I can't accept being a fat girl."
As Shangguan Yue spoke, she poured water into the clay pot on yesterday's simple stove, took out a fire starter, lit the remaining hay from yesterday, put it into the stove, and added dry firewood.
I thought about what color flowers I picked yesterday. Yes, there are two colors: light pink and light yellow.
Well, the wait is long...
When Chen Bianbian had been waiting scratching his head, the water gurgled and a strange fragrance wafted out.
The strange fragrance attracted five birds. They soared into the sky, then swooped down, flew around the well twice, and then floated to the stove where the fragrance came from, chirping.
Shangguan Yue listened to them talking about how fragrant the smell was and how sweet the taste was, and she burst into laughter. She hugged Xiaolan, who flew to her side, into her arms and gently stroked its little head.
Xiao Lan looked shy and refused to let anyone touch her head, so she hid her little head under Shangguan Yue's armpit.
Shangguan Yuegai stroked the feathers on Xiaolan's back. Xiaolan was no longer shy and poked his little head out with a look of enjoyment.
Little White, Little Gold, Little Black, and Little Purple all looked at Little Blue with contempt.
"It's really shameless. She's already so old and still acts like a sister in the arms of a little girl. She's not ashamed. We are divine birds. Do you know that? Only she can act like a spoiled child to us! Xiaowu is so shameless! Humph!"
"Humph!"
"Humph!"
"Humph!"
Chen was so envious when she saw it that she reached out to touch it, but Xiao Lan refused and turned her head so that her little butt was facing her.
Looking at its proud little appearance, it is so adorable. Chen Bianbian tried desperately to pet it a few times, but Xiaolan kept chirping and hiding.
Chen Bianbian also learned to be arrogant, humph! There are so many of them around! Can't I just grab one and play with it!
"You're the only one who looks good? Look at the four beside you, each one is prettier than you! Let me touch them!"
Before Chen Bianbian reached out his hand, four birds chirped and flew onto the roof.
Chen was so angry that he cursed and stomped his feet.
