At this time, the sky had completely darkened, the ingredients had been piled up on the stove, and Aunt Zong and Zhang's mother and daughter immediately started cooking dinner.
Since the three of them were already very skilled at cooking, it didn't take long for them to prepare a simple dinner that could fill their stomachs quickly.
Since Mu Zhengbai entered this courtyard and casually threw his small baggage into an empty room, he seemed to have become arrogant again, as if he had successfully returned to the capital and moved into the house again. Think of yourself as the noble Marquis Yong'an a year ago.
He took out a big peach from the basket in the corner of the yard and started to nibble it. When he smelled the strong aroma of the food, he sat down at the dining table again and raised one leg to the side. He unceremoniously picked up a pair of chopsticks beside the table, intending to have a hearty meal.
"I'm starving to death!"
Mu Zhengbai's impolite behavior naturally did not win Ruan He's favor. She also sat down at the table and glanced aside calmly, her eyes falling on the big peach in his hand.
This was a poor-quality peach left in the fruit shop today. According to the rules, the fruits in her shop were not left overnight, so before going home, she cleared all the fruits on the shelves and threw them all into the basket and brought them back. The floor was left in the corner of the courtyard, waiting to be cleared away after dinner.
The big peach that Mu Zhengbai was nibbling in his hand was a defective product that he took out from the basket. It could be seen that he was almost starving. He almost finished the bowl-sized peach in two or three mouthfuls.
Ruan He raised his eyes leisurely, looked at Mu Zhengbai slowly, curled his lips and smiled, and asked unhurriedly: "The peach you are eating... did you get it from the basket in the corner?"
Mu Zhengbai seemed to be hungry. He had chewed the peach in his hand until only the peach core was left. He casually threw the peach core aside and threw it on the clean ground in the yard. He picked up the bowl at hand. He lowered his head and quickly took two mouthfuls of rice.
Hearing Ruan He's inquiry, he still had a big mouthful of rice in his mouth and responded vaguely, "I'm hungry. What's wrong with eating two bites of peaches?"
Seeing Mu Zhengbai's wanton, arrogant and unhygienic behavior, which was particularly disgusting, Ruan He was not annoyed at all. There was a faint smile in his clear eyes, the corners of his lips curled up, and he spoke calmly. One voice: "I remind you, those baskets of fruits are inedible. I plan to take away the lost ones later."
Mrs. Zhang had long been accustomed to Mu Zhengbai's annoying behavior. She sat quietly and picked up the bowl. When she heard Ruan He's unclear words, she glanced at the corner in confusion and asked casually. He said, "Ah? I think that basket of fruits is good, why can't you eat it? It's not moldy, it looks quite fresh. I haven't picked it up, I just saw it when I was picking up the broom."
Aunt Zong is a smart person. It can be vaguely seen from Ruan He's fake smile that she has other thoughts. She didn't say anything and just silently served a few home-cooked dishes beside the stove. Come to the dinner table.
Seeing Mu Zhengbai picking up his rice disapprovingly, Ruan He made up his mind to scare him, chuckled with unknown meaning, and said slowly in a weird and gloating tone: "Because... those baskets of fruits It was poisoned. There are too many people in the capital who want to harm our Mu family, and it is impossible to prevent them. I can only let Panda smell every fruit, and then pick out the poisoned fruits and take them home."
Of course, this is a random fabrication. The fruit was poisoned only once. After that, under the strict guard of Ruan He and Zong Auntie, such a situation never happened again. There was even an intention behind it. The man who poisoned him was turned over directly to the government, and from then on, the people in the dark no longer dared to do anything casually. But... Ruan He used this half-truth and half-false thing to scare Mu Zhengbai.
Mu Zhengbai kept picking at the white rice in the bowl with his chopsticks, as if he was sure that Ruan He was trying to scare him. He glanced over with a doubtful look on his face, and shouted in a sinister tone: "Poison? You think so?" Am I so scared!?”
Seeing his dubious look, Ruan He was not in a hurry. She took the bowl and chopsticks from Aunt Zong and sat down at the dining table. She stroked the edge of the bowl with her slender fingertips and said with a half-smile: " Why am I scaring you? I wish you were dead, and I just watched you finish eating before telling you this."
Mu Qinghong listened attentively, showing a gloating smile, and added coolly: "Sister-in-law is right, otherwise why would a nice basket of fruits be left in the corner without any care? .”
Mu Zhengbai was dubious at first, but after a few words from the two of them, he was almost frightened to death. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and his face suddenly turned livid.
Ruan He pressed the corners of his lips quietly, just in time to stop saying anything. If he said anything more, he would be wrong. Now these few words were enough to scare Mu Zhengbai to the point where he couldn't even eat this meal.
Anyway... Mu Zhengbai is usually just a little clever, but sometimes he is very stupid. If he is left to ponder about the poisoning, he will only become more and more afraid as he thinks about it.
Sure enough, as Ruan He thought, the more Mu Zhengbai thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong with the peach meat he had just eaten. He glared at Ruan He with a livid face, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Ruan He, is that fruit really good?" Poisonous? Are you trying to scare me again?"
"What do you think?" Ruan He raised his eyebrows, glanced at him with a strange look, chuckled, said nothing more, and immersed himself in eating the food in his bowl.
Mu Zhengbai really couldn't eat anything. He was thinking about the big peach he had just eaten. He thought about it over and over again. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly stood up with a pale face and rushed out.
He finally returned to the capital, and he must not be poisoned! He was going to spit out the peach he just ate, and he should still have time...
Seeing Mu Zhengbai's face changed drastically and he rushed out, Ruan He raised his smiling eyes, stared at his back as he ran out quickly, and teased: "Where are you going? Why don't you behave well?" Eat, after this meal, you will probably be on your way out."
Hearing this sarcastic remark, Mu Zhengbai ran out without looking back. Ruan He held his chopsticks leisurely, glanced at the other people on the dinner table, and said with a smile: "Okay, the annoying fly is gone. , our family can have a good meal." (End of chapter)
