"You don't have to do anything. Just pretend you don't know and respond to all changes by remaining constant." Wan Zhou said calmly.

As I said, she doesn't care about Ji Nanzheng. She lives her own life. Those who are anxious are those who miss men.

In this way, there is no need to guess who drugged you last night. Who else could it be other than Mu Wan'er, who knew the future and made the contraceptive cake?

Wan Zhou continued to think deeply: Mu Wan'er drugged her in order to make Ji Nanzheng dislike her, and made her eat contraceptive cakes to cut off her possibility of having children.

Her real target is none other than Ji Nanzheng. Wan Zhou thought that, by comparison, Mu Wan'er was just an orphan, whose status was not as good as her, the eldest daughter of a third-rank official, so it would be difficult for her to marry Ji Nanzheng.

In front of her is Wang Sijun, who has everything going for him.

But since Mu Wan'er has put so much effort into her, it means that she has already set up the chessboard and started playing.

Wan Zhou didn’t know what kind of chess game Mu Wan’er had set up, but she was sure that Mu Wan’er would definitely eliminate Wang Sijun.

Wang Sijun has the full support of the Duke's wife. With Wang Sijun around, Mu Wan'er has no chance.

It turns out that Wang Sijun is just the mantis, and Mu Wan'er is the oriole hiding in the dark.

Wan Zhou couldn't help but reveal a playful smile.

Since those two are targeting Ji Nanzheng, if Wang Sijun or Mu Wan'er causes trouble again in the future, let Wang Sijun suspect that Mu Wan'er is coveting Ji Nanzheng.

With Wang Sijun's character, how could she tolerate others coveting Ji Nanzheng? She would definitely turn her firepower to deal with Mu Wan'er. Wan Zhou would not only be free, but also able to watch the exciting scene of them fighting each other.

It’s quite interesting to think about it.

"Miss, why hasn't the food been delivered from the kitchen yet?" Qiu Ge came back from outside and was hungry. She was the first to realize that it was actually past mealtime.

"Miss, can I go to the kitchen to ask?" Bai Lu asked.

"Okay." Wan Zhou replied.

It was just past dinner time, and Wan Zhou didn't think too much about it. Who would have thought that the Duke's Mansion would not even give the young lady food.

After a while, the egret came back with a sad face.

"Sister Bailu, is the kitchen not ready yet?" Qiu Ge asked in confusion when she saw Bailu had nothing in her hands.

"The kitchen said that the food for the young lady was delivered early in the morning." Bai Lu said angrily: "The servant said that she didn't receive it, and the people in the kitchen said it was none of their business. Anyway, they had already delivered it."

"I said I didn't receive the food, so I asked them to make another one. But the kitchen staff had a bad attitude, saying that the Duke's Mansion has a set schedule every day, and not everyone can make it if they want."

"They must have done it on purpose." Qiu Ge pouted indignantly.

Wan Zhou sneered softly.

For a family of meritorious service, there are rules about what to eat and when to eat every day. The kitchen will not easily miss the time, let alone deliver the wrong food?

The only possibility is that the master has ordered not to deliver it.

Wan Zhou pondered for a moment and chose Wang Sijun from several suspicious candidates.

Mrs. Wang is the mistress of the house. If someone really doesn't give her food, she can just be frank and have someone tell her directly. There's no need for any lame excuses.

Mu Wan'er is a secretive person. Even if she wants to do it, she won't do it.

The only possible person was Wang Sijun. After all, she had just lost more than 1000 taels of silver in the afternoon. Although it was not paid by her, she must have been feeling very angry.

Moreover, this behavior is quite consistent with Wang Sijun, childish.

"Miss, how about I pack up and bring back the things from Juxian Tower?" Bai Lu asked.

Wan Zhou wanted to say no, since he was deliberately starving her, why would he give her other chances? It would be a waste of effort.

But she still wanted to know what their reasons were.

As expected, Bai Lubai made a trip and came back angrily: "Miss, the gatekeeper said that you can't leave the house without a house number. They are clearly bullying."

Wan Zhou smiled knowingly.

Want to starve her?

"Bai Lu, go to the warehouse and find an axe."

Bai Lu didn't know what Wan Zhou meant, but she was always a talkative person with a lot of action, so she turned around and went to the warehouse.

Wan Zhou had no other purpose.

Since she is not given food, then she has to be self-reliant.

"Qiu Ge, go find the rice in the box and wash it clean."

When a woman gets married, grains will be placed in each box as pressure, and now they come in handy.

That's right, she wants to cook for herself.

As for firewood?

Let the egret find an axe to chop firewood.

What are you chopping?

furniture.

The furniture belonged to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, so she didn't feel sorry for it.

Pot? Was there anything in her dowry? Water? There was well water in the yard.

When the sky was almost gray, everything was finally ready.

In the courtyard of Langyiyuan, a wisp of white smoke slowly rose up and swirled gracefully in the gray night sky.

"Miss, what if we are discovered while making a fire in the house?" Bai Lu asked hesitantly while watching the pot.

Find?

Of course it has to be discovered, and it is specifically intended to be discovered.

"They forced me to do it." Wan Zhou didn't care. "Anyway, we have done a good job of protection. The reason why fires are forbidden in the mansion is to prevent fires. If we do this, no sparks will fly out, and there will be no hidden danger of fire."

Even if Mrs. Wang came, she couldn't really convict her of a crime.

Actually, not giving her food is a big deal, but it is also a small matter. But if she really makes a fuss about it, will no one seek justice for her?

They would definitely push a kitchen servant out to take the blame, and then the matter would be left unresolved.

As I said, if you act like a soft persimmon once, others will bully you endlessly.

She had to make a big deal out of this and let everyone in the mansion know that her cousin Wang Sijun didn't give the general's wife any food.

How can a girl in the boudoir bear such a reputation? She has to bear the consequences of being silenced.

The smoke from the cooking stove was rising slowly, but it was not very noticeable against the night sky. At this point, most of the servants in the Duke's Mansion had gone into the house, so it was not easy to notice.

But Wan Zhou had already asked the cook's daughter, Shanniu, to go out and act as a messenger.

The silly girl is naive and a foodie. Wan Zhou promised her that if he spread the word, he would buy her the Juxianlou's marinated duck.

Silly Girl had never eaten at Juxianlou, but she had heard of it. It was the most famous restaurant in Beijing. Her mouth watered at the thought of eating the pickled duck there.

So, she worked very hard to pass on the message, and soon, a group of people ran towards Langyiyuan.

The first group to arrive at Langyi Courtyard were a group of servants. They walked quickly and none of them could believe that the new young lady was actually making a fire and cooking in the yard.

When Wang Sijun got the news, he was shocked and the first thing he thought of was to go to Mu Wan'er for advice.

She didn't let the kitchen deliver food to Wanzhou in order to vent her anger. Auntie didn't like Gu Wanzhou, and she thought that Wanzhou would not make trouble in front of her aunt, so she could only suffer in silence. Unexpectedly, Wanzhou was so bold that he made a fire in the yard to cook.

In this way, she could no longer hide the fact that she had not allowed the kitchen to deliver meals from Mrs. Wang.

Although Mrs. Wang loved her, she was just a cousin living away from home after all. What she did today was deceiving her superiors and subordinates in someone else's home, and her aunt would definitely not forgive her.
