The two men at the door who had not yet changed their shift saw everything that happened in the yard the night before, and heard everything that they should not have heard.

I saw him get up this morning. Although he didn't cry or make a fuss, he seemed a little confused.

Look, what is he doing in that room in such a hurry?

Mu Yingbao entered the wing room, opened one of the boxes, took out two silver ingots weighing five taels each, weighed them, closed the box, and walked out.

The two gatekeepers were originally curious about what she was doing. They thought that if she was depressed and wanted to hang herself, she would not choose that room, because the room had a suspended ceiling and no beams to tie a rope.

Suddenly, they saw this person coming out and heading straight towards them. They quickly perked up and prepared to deal with him.

"Thank you for your hard work, brothers. This is a small gift. Consider it as buying tea for you two. Don't think it's too little." Mu Yingbao said with a smile as he stuffed the silver ingot into one of their hands.

The one pushed it away and refused, and even looked at his companion to see what he meant. Should he accept this benefit or not?

"Hehe, girl, don't be like this, put it away quickly. We two brothers can't betray the prince and let you go just for the sake of benefits. Besides, even if you can leave this yard, you can't leave the marquis's mansion." Another one advised.

Even if this person brought a few gold bars, they would not dare to accept them.

Hearing someone speak behind him, Mu Yingbao immediately turned around and looked at him; "Big brother, you misunderstood, I am not trying to bribe you to let me out, I just want to ask you two, can you help me find out how Dongzhu and Xizhu are doing now, that's all."

So that's how it is. When she heard this, her eyes changed when she looked at Mu Yingbao. She didn't expect that she, who couldn't even protect herself, would still care about those two girls.

"Young lady, just mind your own business. Those two are from the prince's courtyard. Although they are servants, there are several types of servants in the marquis's mansion. Nothing will happen to them." The man advised kindly.

"Oh, that's great. That's why I'm worried. It's fine if I'm the only one who gets into trouble, but I don't want to implicate them. Thank you, and how about the silver?" Mu Yingbao felt a little relieved when he heard this from him, and asked again while holding the silver ingot.

"Thank you for your kindness, young lady. As the saying goes, one should not accept gifts without merit. Please take this back. You also said that you don't want to cause trouble for others." The man was very determined not to accept it.

After Mu Yingbao turned and walked away, the other one asked in a low voice, "Are you stupid? Why don't you take it and ask someone to take it back to honor your mother? Anyway, she didn't let us let it go."

"I say, kid, did your head get caught in the door? You heard what she did last night. If you dare to accept this silver, aren't you afraid that one day she won't be satisfied and she will complain to the prince? It would be a light punishment to say that we are extorting money. What if she says that we stole it from the wing room? I wonder what you will do." He refused and warned in a low voice.

After hearing what his companion said, the man began to feel scared. Yes, it was impossible for him not to hear what the girl was saying last night.

Such a scoundrel might really do something like falsely accusing others.

As soon as the two of them stood up, they saw Tie Niu coming over with a load on his back and a sheep in tow.

Hey, it's fine to bring live chickens, live ducks, and live fish, but why is a whole sheep being brought here now? Can it fit in the pot in the kitchen? Was it brought here to deliberately make things difficult for that lady?

"Miss Shepherd, the Iron Ox is here." One of them called out loudly, wanting to see what the other person's expression would be when he saw this big fat sheep.

If she had grown up in the countryside, she would have known that sheep have a strong odor. They are also very afraid of rain, and will bleat loudly when there is a little drizzle.

Mu Yingbao heard it and walked out of the room. She saw Tie Niu and the sheep.

Oh my god, I told Dongzhu and the others a few days ago that Guoyizui’s grilled lamb skewers were delicious, and Tieniu actually brought a live one!

"Tie Niu, what do these mean?" Mu Yingbao arrived at the door and pointed at the sheep and asked.

Intuitively, she didn't think it was Xizhu who didn't make it clear at the time.

Moreover, based on the contact over the past month, Tie Niu doesn't seem like a bad person.

"Oh, Miss Xizhu asked for mutton two days ago, but there was no mutton those two days. I met Brother Lin who is with the prince, and told him about it. I didn't expect that Brother Lin was so kind and bought me one this morning.

I was going to take the sheep to the kitchen and wait for them to kill it and cut a piece of meat for me. But Brother Lin came to tell me that the prince said the girl was not in good health and asked him to send the whole sheep to her. " Tie Niu was honest and told the cause and effect.

"Well, your prince is so generous and so good to me." Mu Yingbao laughed in her heart and said sweetly.

"But the prince won't let me help. How can I slaughter this sheep and eat it?" Tie Niu muttered a little embarrassedly.

Although he knew that it was wrong for this girl to deceive the prince, he felt that this girl was much better than the hostesses in the mansion.

"What's so difficult about this? If I really want mutton one day, I can just take a knife and cut a piece of it." After Mu Yingbao said this, he moved the basket to the kitchen by himself. He made two trips back and forth and led the sheep again.

I didn't need to look back to know the extremely sympathetic eyes of the three people at the gate.

Indeed, even the two gatekeepers no longer gloated over her misfortune.

Mu Yingbao tied the sheep under a tree and looked at the blue sky. The sky was so blue. God, you are so unkind. Couldn’t you just make it cloudy a little to suit the mood?

It seems that the prince will not let Dongzhu and Xizhu come back, nor will he arrange for anyone else to come. Does he want her to struggle here alone? Okay, no problem!

Mu Yingbao rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen, heated up some water, and washed the dishes. He cleaned the kitchen, went outside to see the position of the sun, and it was time to make lunch. Besides, he hadn't eaten breakfast, so his stomach was already growling.

Just as she turned around to go into the kitchen, she vaguely saw someone entering the yard. She stopped and took a closer look, and it turned out to be the prince.

What is he doing here at this time?

Mu Yingbao didn't go over to greet him, but watched the man walking towards her with his hands behind his back in a very cool and arrogant manner.

"Hey, Young Master, do you have any instructions for me now? Are you here to help me kill the sheep?" Mu Yingbao asked with a smile.

"My two girls have been eating with you for a month and have become much plumper. You are quite capable. If you want to eat lamb, I have asked you to bring it to you. As for how to slaughter and eat it, it shouldn't be difficult for you, right?" Xue Wenyu looked at the sheep tied not far away and said with a smile.

Looking at the expression on his face, Mu Yingbao felt that he was in a good mood at the moment.

"My Lord, if I say I want to eat that sheep, I don't have to kill the whole thing. I can cut off one of its legs first, and then let it live. If I want to eat other parts someday, I can continue to cut it and let it live forever. Do you believe me?" Mu Yingbao asked half-jokingly and half-seriously...
