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

After a bumpy journey, the carriage finally slowly stopped in front of the manor gate.

Chu Zixi gently lifted a corner of the curtain and got off the carriage.

She stood quietly there, her eyes cast towards a place that was both familiar and somewhat unfamiliar. After a brief pause, she walked towards the village.

Chu Zixi walked slowly along the winding path in the field. After a while, a figure in the distance came into her sight.

I saw a woman in plain coarse cloth bending over, picking fresh vegetables in the field with great concentration. The sunlight shone on her, outlining a beautiful silhouette.

"Murong Rouer?" Chu Zixi couldn't help but call softly.

Murong Rouer, who was busy, heard the familiar voice, her body trembled slightly and she raised her head suddenly.

When she saw Chu Zixi standing not far away, her eyes, which were originally as clear as water, suddenly flashed with surprise and joy, like the bright stars in the night sky.

The basket in her hand involuntarily slipped to the ground because she was too excited, but Murong Rouer had no time to care about these things at the moment. She walked hurriedly, not even bothering to tidy up her slightly messy hair, and she couldn't wait to open her legs and ran towards Chu Zixi like a happy deer.

"Sister, you're here!" There was obvious some irrepressible excitement in Murong Rouer's voice, and her pretty face was blooming with a smile as bright and moving as a flower blooming in spring.

Chu Zixi looked at her sister who was once unknown in her house but now radiates with a different kind of brilliance. She smiled slightly and said, "Are you used to living here?"

Murong Rouer nodded repeatedly, her smile growing brighter. "Big sister, it's great here. My mother and I both like it here. We are free and unrestrained, and we don't have to look at other people's faces to do things. The people in the manor are very caring to my mother and me, and we feel unprecedented warmth."

Chu Zixi felt a little relieved when she heard this.

"That's good." Chu Zixi nodded slightly.

Murong Rouer tightly grasped Chu Zixi's soft and slender little hand, her face filled with excitement that could not be concealed, and she shouted in a clear and pleasant voice: "Big sister, come quickly! I'll take you to where we live now and have a good seat."

Chu Zixi smiled and nodded slightly to show her agreement, then let Murong Rouer lead her and walk towards her residence together.

After a while, they arrived at their destination - a farmyard that looked simple but full of a warm atmosphere.

The area of ​​this yard is not very large, but every corner has been carefully maintained by the owner, making it look exceptionally neat and tidy.

The yard is dotted with several bright wild flowers. They sway gently in the breeze, as if dancing happily, injecting vitality and agility into the entire farmyard.

"Mom, look who's here!" Murong Rouer couldn't wait to shout before she even stepped into the room.

At the same time, she still held Chu Zixi's hand tightly and led Chu Zixi into the yard happily.

Hearing her daughter's call, Third Aunt Yu Wan hurried out of the house to greet her.

When she saw Chu Zixi standing in front of her, her originally calm eyes suddenly flashed with a mixture of surprise and gratitude.

The former concubine of the general's mansion, a woman named Yu Wan, took two steps at a time and walked up to Chu Zixi. She said excitedly, "Miss, I really don't know how to thank you. Thanks to your help, Rou'er and I can have such a safe place to stay."

Before she finished her words, Yu Wan suddenly knelt on her knees and hit the ground heavily with a "thump". Crystal clear tears began to swirl in her eyes and were about to burst out.

When Chu Zixi saw this scene, she couldn't help feeling sad.

She hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out her hands and helped Yu Wan up from her kneeling position, and said softly, "Third Aunt, please don't be like this. Get up quickly. We are all family, there is really no need to be so polite."

Yu Wan slowly stood up with Chu Zixi's gentle and strong support, her heart filled with indescribable emotions.

She raised her hand and gently wiped the barely noticeable tears from the corners of her eyes. She said in a slightly trembling voice, "Miss, please move into the house and rest for a while."

Chu Zixi nodded slightly to show her agreement, then walked into the house with light steps, following Yu Wan and Murong Rouer.

Although the furnishings in the house are a bit simple, every corner is kept tidy and spotless, exuding a simple and warm atmosphere of home.

At this time, Yu Wan smiled and looked at Chu Zixi sincerely, and said softly: "Miss, I am no longer an aunt now. If you don't mind, you might as well call me 'Aunt Wan'."

Hearing this, Chu Zixi nodded without hesitation and said, "Aunt Wan."

This response was as gentle as a spring breeze, making Yu Wan overjoyed. She said repeatedly: "Okay, okay... Rou'er, go and sit with your elder sister. Mother will make some tea for you." After saying that, Yu Wan's face was filled with a happy smile. She turned and walked towards the kitchen to prepare tea.

Not long after, Yu Wan walked in carefully holding a few cups of steaming hot tea.

She said shyly, "Miss, I'm so sorry. The tea here is far inferior to the precious varieties you usually taste. These are ordinary teas grown at home. The taste may be average. I hope you don't mind." As she spoke, she handed a cup of fragrant tea to Chu Zixi.

Chu Zixi gracefully stretched out her hands to take the teacup, first sniffed the elegant tea fragrance, then took a sip. Instantly, the unique taste spread on her tongue - although this tea is not as mellow and fragrant as the famous teas collected in the mansion, it contains a light fresh fragrance and a hint of sweet taste, which makes people linger on their lips and teeth and have an endless aftertaste.

Chu Zixi put down the teacup, raised the corners of her mouth to reveal an appreciative smile, and praised sincerely: "Well, this tea tastes very good, not only sweet and delicious, but also has a long aftertaste."

Hearing this, Yu Wan smiled and said, "I'm glad that the young lady doesn't mind."

At this moment, a clear and pleasant voice like a yellow oriole singing in a valley floated into the yard: "Aunt Wan, Sister Rouer, I went hunting in the mountains today and had a good harvest. I specially brought you two fat rabbits!" The voice was still echoing in the air and had not yet completely dissipated when a burly and strong figure appeared at the gate of the yard.
