Xue Wenyu certainly wasn't free enough to go and spy on the matter himself, but he instructed the people in charge of guarding the courtyard to keep a close eye on the man's recent behavior.

Then for three consecutive days, the news I received after returning home was almost the same.

She said that the man would lead the sheep into the kitchen twice a day, and then lead it back to the yard after a while. Then, there were the ingredients she and Tieniu ordered every day, with a lot of extra vegetables, most of which were fed to the sheep.

Xue Wenyu felt that this was outrageous. Even if the Marquis' Mansion was wealthy and powerful and did not care about the money for the vegetarian dishes, whose sheep did not eat grass but instead had to spend money to buy vegetables to feed them?

If this gets out and gets distorted, people will say that Marquis Xue’s mansion is extravagant and uses silver to buy vegetables and feed sheep?

In the capital, some people in the court had long been jealous of the Xue family, hoping that the Xue family would fall from grace. No, so Xue Wenyu arranged for people to cut some fresh grass every day and send it to Wenxin Garden.

Mu Yingbao is now alone in Wenxin Garden. Although she feels a little lonely, she can adapt to it.

Looking at the sheep in the yard, she suddenly thought that the prince was quite funny. He actually sent a live sheep to make fun of her, but she didn't know that although she didn't kill the sheep, it was not completely useless.

On the contrary, it has a huge effect.

I don’t know what the prince’s men were thinking, they actually got a dairy sheep!

Look, I feed it well every day and its breast is full.

Mu Yingbao squeezes a big bowl of milk every morning and afternoon to supplement her nutrition. She washes her face with goat milk in the morning and makes a facial mask with goat milk at night.

She just kept squeezing the milk and couldn't use it all. The goat's milk increased and she started to bleat. So later, Mu Yingbao simply squeezed some of it, boiled it, and used it to soak her feet. She would take a goat's milk bath every few days.

Look, in just half a month, my skin has become more delicate than before, just like the description in the books, as smooth as jade.

With nothing to do, Mu Yingbao started thinking about making snacks with goat milk. She wanted to make milk beans, but she couldn't get the ingredients and there were no bananas.

I thought of making double-skin goat milk. It was easy. Goat milk, eggs, and icing sugar were all available. I didn't have a suitable container, so I just put it in a small bowl. If I didn't have a refrigerator, I put it in a bamboo basket and put it in the well to cool it down. I would take it out and eat a small bowl at noon. It was so delicious. It was a pity that I couldn't let Dongzhu and Xizhu have a taste.

When it rained, Mu Yingbao simply led the sheep into a wing where they had fresh grass to eat. The sheep were very comfortable and only bleated a few times when they felt uncomfortable with swollen milk to remind Mu Yingbao to come for milking. The rest of the time they just chewed grass quietly.

On a fine afternoon, in Wenxin Garden, the sheep were quietly eating grass under a tree, and Mu Yingbao was taking a nap on a soft couch under a tree not far away. The sheep and the man lived in harmony, and the years were peaceful and quiet.

In fact, Mu Yingbao was not willing to live like this forever. Such days were very stable, but too dull. This was not the kind of modern stay-at-home life. There were no mobile phones or computers, and he could not hear any news from the outside world. It was really boring.

Perhaps God heard Mu Yingbao's complaints and couldn't bear it, so he gave her something new to do.

In the middle of the night, Mu Yingbao was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard a faint noisy sound outside.

What are you doing? Can't you let me sleep well? Mu Yingbao lifted the quilt, lit a candle, and went to the door to see what was going on. After all, this was also a lively scene! How rare!

Before she lifted the bedroom door curtain, the window suddenly opened and a dark shadow jumped in.

A black shadow, completely in black, from head to toe.

Ah, no way? Could this happen to me? Mu Yingbao held the candlestick in one hand and covered her mouth with the other, looking at the other person in surprise, trying not to scream.

"If you want to live, shut up." The man in black pointed his sword at Mu Yingbao and threatened him viciously.

Mu Yingbao nodded vigorously, her little heart beating wildly.

Haven't you heard that Lord Xue or the Prince are corrupt officials and unforgivable criminals? Then, are the assassins who came here good guys or bad guys?

"Are you hurt?" Mu Yingbao smelled blood and looked at the other person carefully. The color of the shoulder was a little strange.

"Shut up." The man in black whispered fiercely.

Mu Yingbao nodded, but she was not happy in her heart. She cared about him out of kindness, but it was fine if he didn't appreciate it. She was not unhappy. After all, it was a matter of life and death for him, so it was normal for her to have a temper.

At this time, someone was heard asking the two gatekeepers at the gate if they had found anyone suspicious, and the two said no in unison.

Hearing the noise fade away, Mu Yingbao breathed a sigh of relief. Then she turned around and was startled to find that the man in black had put the sword across her neck while she turned around.

It was obvious that the other party was afraid that she would speak up and warn him.

"Hero, I won't shout. Don't worry. We have no grudges against each other. Why should I make things difficult for you?" Mu Yingbao smelled the blood on the sword and quickly declared, fearing that this man would kill him to silence him.

The man hesitated for a moment, looked around, and then looked at Mu Yingbao.

"Are you the one who was married off by the Mu family?" he asked.

"Yes, I am the unlucky one." Mu Yingbao admitted frankly.

However, the people who were searching outside had gone far away, so why didn't he move the sword away? Since he knew that she was a substitute bride of the Mu family, he should know her situation in the Xue family and would not be his enemy.

If it weren't for the dowry, Mu Yingbao would have wanted to ask this man to take her out.

However, she had already spent a month and a half in Xue's mansion, and she was unwilling to leave just like that. It wasn't that she valued money more than anything else, but the reason she was not in a hurry to leave was that her physical body was only fifteen years old, and she had no connections outside, and no one would believe what a young girl could do.

Instead of doing this, it’s better to stay here and wait for an opportunity.

Mu Yingbao has a good personality and is very steady when doing serious things.

Just then, there was another sound outside the courtyard gate.

Mu Yingbao recognized who it was and it was the eldest son of the Marquis's Mansion.

"Xue Wenyu came in person, he must have gone into the house to check. You can see that this is the so-called bridal chamber. The relationship between him and me is obvious. So, you'd better not try to kidnap me.

As the saying goes, more friends mean more paths. I am willing to make friends with you, on the condition that if I need your help in the future, you have to help me in return.

If you believe in me, just listen to me, how about that?" Mu Yingbao discussed with the man in black in a low and urgent voice.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the outer room.

"Whoever you are, hurry up and open the door, or I will kick it in."

At this time, Xue Wenyu's vicious voice came in.

Mu Yingbao looked at the man in black and said, "You heard me. The tone he used towards me, will it be useful for you to kidnap me?"

"You, you'd better not lie to me, otherwise." The man in black threatened hesitantly.

"If you keep talking too much, I'll be implicated by you. Hurry up." Mu Yingbao pointed impatiently under the bed. The man put away his sword, lay down and moved under the bed.

The knocking on the door outside became more violent, so Mu Yingbao hurried over and unbolted the door.

"What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" Facing the people rushing in, Mu Yingbao asked unhappily.

"Stop talking nonsense. Is there anyone coming in?" Xue Wenyu smelled a hint of blood as he came in. He was sure that the person he was looking for was here, but he still deliberately asked as he walked towards the bedroom.

He just wanted to see how this stinky woman would answer...
