Jiang Song bowed to him and asked, "Husband, are you well?"

Xie Changyan nodded slightly and his gaze returned to the guqin in front of him. It seemed that Jiang Song's arrival did not arouse much interest in him.

Jiang Song didn't care, because after the previous few times of getting along with each other, she had already roughly figured out Xie Changyan's personality.

During the day, he was always so indifferent and distant, and had a lukewarm attitude towards everyone, not just her.

Only at night did he become a little more lively, but only when he was making love with her.

Jiang Song had long been accustomed to it and did not ask for too much.

She came today to deliver medicinal food and express her concern and care for Xie Changyan. Nothing else matters.

"Husband, this is the Qi-tonifying and blood-nourishing soup I made myself. It's good for your body. Try it."

As Jiang Song spoke, he took out the medicinal food from the food box and handed it to Xie Changyan.

Xie Changyan glanced at the bowl of medicinal food, then looked up at Jiang Song, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He seemed to have not expected that Jiang Song would personally prepare medicinal food for him.

At this time, Xie Ruyi walked out of the room next to her and saw the medicinal food in Jiang Song's hand. She smiled and said, "Young Madam is so virtuous and considerate. Young Master is so lucky."

As he spoke, he took out a silver needle to test for poison, then took out another small bowl, put some medicinal food in it and tasted it. After confirming that it was correct, he handed the medicinal food back to Xie Changyan.

This action might seem unnecessary, but it was a common practice among aristocratic families. Furthermore, Xie Changyan had a special physique, so he needed to be extra careful with his diet.

"Well, Madam has indeed put a lot of thought into this soup. The taste and medicinal effect are both top-notch. Young Master may wish to try it." Xie Ruyi praised it highly after taking a sip.

Xie Changyan then took the medicinal food, stirred it gently with a spoon, then scooped up a spoonful and put it into his mouth.

Jiang Song looked at him nervously, afraid that he would taste something wrong.

But after Xie Changyan savored it carefully, he raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at her with some surprise, and a slight curve appeared at the corner of his lips.

His smile was like a gentle spring breeze, instantly melting away the coldness around him and making him as warm as jade.

Jiang Song was stunned for a moment, then he felt happy.

This was the first time she saw Xie Changyan smile like this. Although it was a faint smile, it was the best affirmation of her hard work over the past few hours.

She smiled and said softly, "As long as you like it, my husband, I will come here often to make soup for you in the future."

Xie Changyan's eyes moved slightly when he heard this, but he didn't say much.

For several days afterwards, Jiang Song indeed prepared different medicinal meals and delivered them to Xie Changyan's residence on time every day.

Sometimes it is the chicken stewed with Ganoderma lucidum and wolfberry to nourish yin and strengthen the kidneys, and sometimes it is the lily and lotus seed soup to calm the mind and relieve anxiety. Each dish is made with carefully selected ingredients and cooked by the chef himself.

Although she has to spend several hours busy in the kitchen every time, Jiang Song never gets tired of it, because doing so allows her to find a sense of peace of mind when living under someone else's roof.

She treated the identity of Mrs. Xie as a job, and treated the entire Xie family as employers and clients, managing this relationship with a business mindset.

In this way, you won't let yourself get too deeply into trouble, and you can always stay sober and self-controlled.

Fortunately, doing these things did not delay Jiang Song's preparation for the Fengwu Academy entrance exam, and even inadvertently improved the meals for her and Xiuyun.

After all, the steward of the mansion knew that these medicinal foods and soups were made for the eldest young master, so he did not dare to neglect them, and the ingredients used were all of the best quality.

Apart from the portion given to Xie Changyan, the rest was enjoyed by Jiang Song and Xiuyun together.

She had been practicing martial arts and swordplay recently and had consumed a lot of energy. These nourishing things just replenished the nutrients she needed, allowing her body and cultivation to improve day by day.

"Dangdang——"

"Shhhhh!"

Jiang Song was practicing sword in the yard as usual. She was holding the "Double Stars", the sword light was like a weave, and her body movements were agile.

Every time the sword was swung, it was accompanied by a crisp sound of sword. The plum blossoms hanging on the branches were attracted by the sword energy and fell down in large numbers.

The "Dawn Flowing Cloud" sword she created has twelve moves, and she has now practiced to the ninth move. The sword shadows are heavy and majestic, but it restrains its edge at the critical moment, appearing introverted and profound.

The two swords shine together, sometimes interweaving into a net, impenetrable; sometimes they go their separate ways, like dragons and phoenixes dancing, showing extremely high attainments in swordsmanship.

Sweat slid down her forehead and dripped onto the bluestone slabs, where it was instantly absorbed, leaving only faint circles of water stains.

Jiang Song's eyes were bright as he aimed at the last fallen plum blossom in the air. Suddenly, he jumped up and the tip of his sword streaked across the sky like a meteor, splitting the petal that was about to touch the ground into two.

At the same time, the tenth move was launched with a bang, and the sword light poured down like moonlight, drawing brilliant silver arcs, seemingly cutting the surrounding air apart.

"Bang!" With a light sound, the aftermath of the sword energy created a shallow crack on the ground covered with flower petals. The petals were stirred by the sword energy and flew everywhere, like a sudden pink rain curtain.

Jiang Song sheathed his sword, his breath still steady, his face slightly flushed, revealing a healthy glow.

This move, named "Clouds Breaking the Sky", is the most domineering one in her swordsmanship. It has the power to split mountains and rocks, while also requiring exquisite control.

After practicing for so many days, he finally got some proficiency, and Jiang Song was secretly satisfied.

Just now, in order to preserve the scenery of the courtyard, I only used 50% of my strength. If I had used all my strength, I'm afraid the courtyard would have been in ruins long ago.

It seems that I need to go to a real martial arts arena in the future to give full play to my skills without any restraint.

Jiang Song brushed off the dust on his body, turned around and walked into the house, ready to take a rest.

As soon as I stepped over the threshold, I saw Xiuyun had brought back the ingredients needed for today's medicinal meal from the Xie Mansion, and was carefully placing them on the table one by one.

"Young Madam, you've worked hard practicing sword skills." Xiuyun looked up and saw that it was Jiang Song. She greeted him with a smile, her hands moving non-stop.

"Today you planned to make a warming and nourishing angelica and mutton soup, so the purchasing manager gave me some extra seasonal fresh vegetables, saying that the combination would not only make the flavor better, but also balance the medicinal properties, making it nourishing without being dry and greasy."

Jiang Song walked forward, gently picked up a white radish, swung the kitchen knife and peeled and cut it into pieces in a few strokes, as if it were a magic trick, with skillful and neat techniques.

Xiuyun was stunned watching from the side. "Wow, Madam, have you used all your sword skills to cut vegetables? This speed and skill are even better than the cook!"

Jiang Song chuckled and soaked the chopped radish in clean water to remove the astringency.

"After all, I'm going to apply to Fengwu Academy, so I have to make the most of every minute of my time. Swordsmanship and cooking may seem unrelated, but in reality, both require dedication and passion to grasp their essence."

When Xiuyun heard this, a hint of admiration flashed in her eyes, and she immediately joined in preparing the ingredients. While they were busy, they chatted about daily trivial matters.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the stove was filled with fragrance. The sweetness of white radish and the mellowness of mutton intertwined, making people salivate.

Turn off the fire, simmer the incense, and fill the cup, all in one go.
