Chapter 52: Dinner Dilemma and Secret Inquiry

Mo Yan and Mo Xian stood at the kitchen door, bewildered by the table overflowing with fresh produce. Lu Ling'er had bought these ingredients at the market today, intending to prepare a hearty dinner for everyone. However, they were busy dealing with Captain Zhang's surprise inspection, and Lu Ling'er was distracted by her work in the vegetable garden, so they didn't realize until now that dinner was long past.

Xuan Ping and Xuan An stared at each other, their eyes filled with helplessness and bewilderment at these unfamiliar ingredients. Xuan Ping picked up a carrot and tentatively asked, "Is this for chewing?" Xuan An pondered for a moment and replied seriously, "Maybe. I've seen horses chew on this before."

Mo Yan couldn't help but laugh at this exchange, but quickly regained his serious demeanor. Although they wanted to help, they had no idea where to begin. Ultimately, Xuan Ping and Xuan An decided to find Lu Ling'er and ask her to come back quickly to "save" the impending dinner.

At this moment, Lu Ling'er was busy dealing with things in the vegetable garden. Suddenly, Xuan An appeared in front of her, looking pitiful. He was carrying a basket of vegetables that he didn't know what to do with. His eyes seemed to be filled with confusion and a plea for help. Lu Ling'er looked at him and couldn't help laughing. "What's wrong with you? You can't even handle a carrot?"

Xuan An muttered unwillingly, "This carrot looks so weird and it's prickly." Xuan Ping nodded in agreement, as if he had found a resonance.

Lu Linger smiled and shook her head, realizing that dinner was already past and everyone was still waiting. She quickly put down her hoe, brushed off the dirt, and rushed back to the kitchen. Although she felt a little tired, seeing that everyone was waiting for dinner, she quickly adjusted herself and busied herself with preparations. She expertly chopped the vegetables and seasoned them, while busying herself, instructing Xuan Ping and Xuan An on how to handle the ingredients.

Xuan Ping and Xuan An frantically cut vegetables under Lu Ling'er's guidance, but their movements were clumsy. Xuan Ping tried to imitate Lu Ling'er's knife skills, but the carrot "came alive" under his knife, rolling around wildly. He exclaimed, "Is this carrot alive? Why isn't it obeying me?" Xuan An, stifling laughter, nearly cut his finger at Xuan Ping's awkward appearance.

"Don't use too much force, the carrots won't resist you!" Lu Linger couldn't help but tease them, but at the same time she patiently taught them how to cut the vegetables correctly.

Meanwhile, Mo Yan and Mo Xian were assigned to help Gu Yichen repair the stables. Although unfamiliar with the work, they did their best to cooperate. During a break in the repairs, Mo Yan couldn't help but question his doubts. "Brother, do you think Captain Zhang will come back today? I have a feeling he's doubting our identities."

Gu Yichen carefully inspected every detail of the stable, a look of deep thought in his eyes. "He'll definitely come back. Today was just a test." Gu Yichen spoke calmly, but a sense of unease lingered within him. Captain Zhang's sharp eyes made him realize that things weren't as simple as they seemed.

Mo Yan noticed Gu Yichen's worry and continued to test him: "Brother, my sister-in-law is a very skilled doctor. Do you think she can help me with my old illness?" He hoped to attract Gu Yichen's attention through this question, and also hoped to take this opportunity to get some treatment.

Gu Yichen narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment and replied: "Go ask her yourself, I'm not sure if she can cure it." There was a hint of hidden emotion in his calm tone, making Mo Yan unable to guess his true thoughts for a moment.

Dinner time finally arrived, and everyone gathered around the table. Despite some setbacks, they finally enjoyed a hearty meal. Lu Ling'er was sweating profusely from the work, but seeing everyone enjoying their meal with gusto filled her heart with satisfaction. Xuan Ping and Xuan An sat at the table, excitedly showing everyone the carrot slices they had made. Despite the unusual shape, they were still proud of their labor.

"Look! This is what we cut. It looks a bit like... well, a tree root." Xuan An grinned and put a strangely shaped carrot slice into his mouth, causing everyone to laugh. Mo Yan couldn't help but tease, "I thought this was a sculpture, but it turns out you can eat it!"

Lu Ling'er watched them from the side, smiling, her heart filled with warmth. Although these little ones had made a lot of jokes in the kitchen, their efforts made her feel happy. After dinner, she still insisted on giving Xuan An acupuncture and medicinal baths, despite being exhausted.

Mo Yan and Mo Xian continue to work with Gu Yichen, completing the repairs to the stables. As the night deepens, a silence reigns, broken only by the occasional neighing of horses. Gu Yichen's memory issues and Mo Yan's old illness remain unresolved, leaving the plot suspenseful. As time passes, everyone's hidden secrets and inner struggles will gradually surface.
