Ning Xue's fainting made Xiaoying extremely anxious!

"Hongdou, please take good care of the young lady. I'm going to the Shangshu Mansion to see if we can ask the court physician to come over!" Hongdou looked nervous and nodded in agreement repeatedly.

Xiaoying did not dare to delay for even a second, and immediately used her wall-climbing skills to rush towards the Shangshu Mansion in a hurry.

At the same time, Shuang'er's body was ruthlessly thrown into a mass grave dozens of miles away from the capital.

This place is where the poor people who have no money to buy land for burial, or the bodies of some death row prisoners who have no one to collect their bodies after their death, are eventually abandoned.

Not long after Shuang'er's body was thrown away, Huo Beixuan's body was also thrown into this eerie and horrifying mass grave.

The person who threw the body was a woman dressed in black, who was a secret guard sent by Ning's mother.

She just stood there indifferently, watching a group of wild dogs pounce on Huo Beixuan's body frantically, biting it until it was torn into pieces and beyond recognition. Only after she was sure that Huo Beixuan was in such a miserable state that he was unrecognizable did she turn around and leave to report to Ning's mother.

In the Shangshu Mansion, Xiaoying was anxiously about to ask Ning's mother for permission to invite a court physician, but she had never expected that Ning's mother had already seen through the situation and had already dispatched a court physician, who was rushing towards the Cuiyu Pavilion.

With no other options, Xiaoying had to stay and prepare to listen to Ning's mother's admonition.

"You are really too careless! You let the young lady get hurt so badly. Tell me how you should punish me!" Ning's mother's eyes were wide open, her voice full of anger.

Sakura knelt down with a plop, her face pale, "I'll leave it to you, Madam!"

Ning's mother looked at Xiaoying. Although she was angry, she softened her heart a little when she thought of the injured Ning Xue who needed someone to take care of her.

"Forget it, you go back first. I will postpone the punishment for now. When Xue'er recovers, you can come to me to accept the punishment!"

Mother Ning sighed slightly, and then said, "Tell the young lady a message, tell her not to worry about Huo Beixuan's affairs, I will take care of it, she just needs to inspect the store as usual, and she doesn't have to go back to the Huo family."

"Yes."

Sakura didn't dare to delay for a moment, she got up hurriedly and left quickly.

Not long after she left, the woman who abandoned Huo Beixuan's body in a mass grave came back to report.

"Ma'am, the body has been disposed of as you ordered!"

Mother Ning nodded slightly, a hint of cruelty flashed in her eyes, "This Huo Beixuan died just like that, it's really a bargain for him!"

"You should go back and keep watch. If there is any movement, come back and report immediately."

"Yes, ma'am!" After receiving the order, the woman in black disappeared into the darkness again.

Ning's mother returned to her room with a heavy heart. Her wet nurse had already packed up her things.

"Madam, are we really going to the palace now?" The wet nurse looked worried.

Mother Ning nodded solemnly, "Yes! If I had a choice, I wouldn't want to bother Wan'er in such a hurry, but now, the situation is urgent, I have to go!"

"Nurse, tell me, why did both of my daughters fail in their relationships? Alas!" Mother Ning said, tears welling up in her eyes, her heart full of helplessness and sorrow.

……

In Shangguan Palace, in Shangguan Haoyu's yard, busy sounds came from the small kitchen. Yun Shang was busy in front of the stove with full concentration.

Speaking of food, there is no such thing as Western food in the original book, but Yun Chang suddenly had an idea and thought that if the restaurant could introduce a new and exotic dish like steak, it might be very popular.

Imagining the satisfied looks on the faces of those meat-loving diners as they tasted the dish, her heart was filled with anticipation.

However, there are many difficulties involved, especially the acquisition of seasonings.

You know, several of the spices Shangguan Haoyu used to grill fish were nowhere to be found in Beijing. I really don’t know from some mysterious place he got them.

Yun Shang thought to herself that when she had the chance, she would definitely ask the prince about it.

Just as her thoughts were in turmoil, Shangguan Haoyu appeared at the door of the kitchenette.

"What are you busy with?" Shangguan Haoyu's clear voice sounded, and his eyes fell on several plates on the table. The plates were filled with beef cut into square pieces as thick as fingers. After being marinated in wine and soy sauce, it was emitting a faint aroma of wine.

Yun Chang turned her head and glanced at him, a mysterious smile appeared on her face, and she said, "New dishes, trying them out!"

Shangguan Haoyu raised his eyebrows and asked with a somewhat suspicious tone: "You are in charge?"

Yun Shang gave a fake smile and replied, "Why, does it make you feel uncomfortable?" But she was thinking in her heart, this guy dares to laugh at me, just wait and see.

Shangguan Haoyu quickly shook his head and explained, "That's not the case!" Then, he leisurely found a small stool and sat down, saying with anticipation, "I'll try it!"

When Yun Shang heard this, she was stunned at first, and thought to herself that she had no intention of using him as a guinea pig, and her cooking skills were mediocre to begin with.

So he quickly refused and said, "That's not necessary. I can try it myself. No need to bother you!"

Shangguan Haoyu didn't care. He smiled faintly and said confidently: "Believe me, I own several restaurants. Let me try the food. You won't suffer any loss!"

Yun Shang frowned and muttered to herself, "Okay! It will be unpalatable by then, so don't blame me for not reminding you in advance."

Then, Yunchang told Xiaohong to make the fire burn brighter and started to fry the steak.

However, after a few tries, she found that the beef seemed to have become hard, and as soon as she turned it over, the beef was already a little burnt.

Yun Shang was not panicked, and comforted herself in her heart: It's burnt, maybe it will smell better if it's a little burnt!

Soon, the steak was out of the pot.

Yun Chang didn't wait for Shangguan Haoyu to make a move. She picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it in her mouth to taste it.

"Wow! That tastes terrible!"

She couldn't help but scream out. The steak looked fine except for being a little burnt. But why was it so rough and hard in texture that it hurt her teeth when she bit it?

Just as Shangguan Haoyu reached out to grab the chopsticks, Yun Chang was quick to pour the entire plate of beef into the stinky water bucket next to her.

Shangguan Haoyu's hand, which had just picked up the chopsticks, stopped awkwardly in mid-air.

"Hehe, we'll have a good time to enjoy the poultry raised in the palace tomorrow!" Yun Shang said with a smile, trying to diffuse the slightly awkward atmosphere.

Shangguan Haoyu silently curled the corners of his mouth slightly, knowing in his heart that Yun Shang was afraid that he would laugh at her cooking skills, so she didn't let him taste even a bite. Could it be that in her heart, he was not as good as the poultry in the palace?

Yun Chang didn't care about Shangguan Haoyu's thoughts and turned around to continue frying the next dish.

"Xiao Hong, lower the fire!"

She said loudly, thinking that the fire must have been too high, which caused the steak to taste rough and hard.

Xiao Hong stared at the rotten water bucket, couldn't help swallowing, and replied absentmindedly: "Oh!"

But in her heart she was blaming the prince, because it was all because of her son-in-law's sudden appearance that left her with nothing but to watch and feast her eyes.

Shangguan Haoyu was unaware of Xiaohong's complaining look. He put down his chopsticks and waited quietly for Yunshang to continue her cooking attempts.
