Poisonous Pet World: The War King's Heart-stealing Medical Concubine

Murong Zixi had just arrived not far from her own courtyard when she saw Nanny Li looking out.

When Nanny Li saw Murong Zixi coming back, she ran out excitedly, "Miss, you're back."

Xiao Cui interrupted and said, "Madame Li, please have someone prepare some food. We have walked all the way back and the young lady is hungry and tired."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Li felt heartbroken and helped Murong Zixi walk forward. Murong Zixi returned to the room and lay directly on the small couch.

Nanny Li immediately asked someone to prepare food. Because the eldest young lady had not returned for a long time, everyone in the courtyard was worried that something had happened to her, so they did not prepare any food in the evening.

After a while, Nanny Li, Xiaolu and Xiaocui came in with steaming food and placed it carefully on the table.

Seeing that Murong Zixi had fallen asleep on the couch, Xiao Cui walked gently to the couch and woke her up in a low voice: "Miss, wake up, get up and eat before going back to sleep."

Murong Zixi opened her eyes drowsily, yawned, stretched, stood up swiftly and walked to the table and sat down, not looking like she had just woken up at all.

She glanced at Xiaocui, Xiaolu and Nanny Li and said, "Bring your bowls and chopsticks in and eat together."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Cui waved her hands hastily, with a look of panic on her face: "How can a servant sit and eat with the young lady?"

Murong Zixi frowned slightly, looked at Xiao Cui, and said firmly: "There are no outsiders in our Ziwei Pavilion, sit down and eat together, I don't want to say it for the third time."

Seeing this, Xiaolu immediately nodded happily and turned around to prepare the dishes.

At the dinner table, Xiaobai jumped onto a chair nearby at some point, looking at Murong Zixi with sparkling eyes.

Murong Zixi raised her eyebrows, picked up a chicken leg and put it in the bowl.

Xiaobai was too small to reach the table, so Murong Zixi put the bowl on the ground. Xiaobai immediately jumped off the chair and began to eat voraciously.

"Master, it's delicious."

Xiao Cui looked at this scene and couldn't help laughing: "Miss, this little puppy is so cute!"

Murong Zixi gently stroked Xiaobai's head and said softly: "Well, its name is Xiaobai, call it Xiaobai from now on."

Madam Li asked curiously, "Miss, why did you go out and bring back a little puppy?"

Xiao Cui said: "Mammy, this little puppy was picked up by the eldest lady. She liked it and brought it home to raise."

The master, his servants and a dog were enjoying their dinner happily.

However, the atmosphere in the front yard was completely different from here. Shuntian Prefecture received a report from the General's Mansion at night, and Lu Zhensi hurriedly brought the yamen runners to check.

Murong Yunhai clasped his fists towards Lu Zhensi and said politely: "Sir Lu, I'm sorry that you came here in person at such a late hour."

Lu Zhensi was shocked when he saw the ruins in front of him. "General Murong, what's going on in your house?"

Murong Yunhai's face looked a little ugly, "To be honest, I don't know either. There was a loud bang just now, and it was like this when we came out."

"Have you spotted anyone suspicious?"

Murong Yunhai thought for a while and said, "No."

At this time, a yamen runner named Wang Ping said: "Sir, we smell the smell of sulfur."

"Oh? Anything else you found?"

The bailiff shook his head.

Sulfur was not used to make gunpowder in this era, so they were also very curious about what had caused the front hall of the general's mansion and the house next to the front hall to be turned into ruins.

Lu Zhenwei of Shuntian Prefecture looked at the ruins in front of him, and a chill rose in his heart. What enemy did the General's Mansion have? Was it destroyed by a master's internal force? Or was there some other reason?

The bailiff investigated but found no clues, so Lu Zhensi had to take his leave, saying that he would check if there were any suspicious people in the capital recently and inform the general's mansion after finding any.

Murong Yunhai sent away the people from Shuntian Prefecture and returned to his study with a gloomy face.

In Ziwei Pavilion, after Murong Zixi had eaten and drunk her fill, she took a bath and fell into a sound sleep.

Murong Baixue's face was as cold as the frost in winter. She frowned and looked out the window, but her heart was surging. She turned to look at her mother Xiao Qing, with a hint of confusion and doubt in her eyes.

"Mother, you shouldn't be so soft-hearted and keep Murong Zixi." Murong Baixue's voice was filled with a hint of anger that was difficult to conceal. She thought of the once foolish and bullied Murong Zixi, who suddenly became smart and even returned from the crisis unscathed, which made her feel extremely uneasy.

Xiao Qing's face also looked unhappy. She looked at Murong Baixue, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

"Xue'er, don't get involved in Murong Zixi's affairs anymore." Xiao Qing said in a deep voice. She looked at Murong Baixue with a glimmer of determination in her eyes. "I will take care of everything. You just need to be yourself. The War King will return to the capital in triumph and will arrive in the capital soon. You should focus on the War King and wait to marry into the War King's mansion, and you can enjoy endless wealth and glory."

Murong Baixue blushed slightly when she heard this. She lowered her head and shyly played with the corner of her clothes. She naturally knew what her mother meant. The triumphant return of the War King to the capital was a major event that the entire capital was excited about. The image of His Royal Highness the War King, handsome and with outstanding military achievements, was deeply imprinted in her heart.

"Mom, the War King doesn't like women, so it's not easy to get close to him!" Murong Baixue raised her head with a hint of worry in her eyes. Although she was arrogant, she also knew that the War King's character and status were not someone she could easily approach.

Xiao Qing sighed as she looked at her daughter. She gently stroked Murong Baixue's face and said softly, "Men like gentle and virtuous women. My Xue'er is naturally beautiful, and with your intelligence, talent, gentleness and thoughtfulness, you will definitely attract the attention of the War King."

Murong Baixue was delighted when she heard this. She raised her head and looked at her mother's determined eyes, and her heart was filled with confidence. She knew that what she had to do was to be herself and wait for the opportunity that belonged to her.
