The response to Dong Lei was still the pin-drop silence permeating the vegetable market.

Dong Lei looked blankly at the green vegetables in her hands, at a loss for what to do.

As a well-brought-up girl, stealing vegetables was absolutely something she, Dong Lei, would never do. However, with not a single vendor in sight, what was she to do?

“It’s over! This is it! There’s nothing for the pot!” Dong Lei, looking at the fully-stocked market and those baskets of fresh vegetables, wanted to cry but had no tears.

Now it was truly over!

It seemed her family’s dining table was about to “open a skylight”!

“Is anyone there? Is there a vendor?”

Dong Lei, not giving up, circled the market again and again, calling out numerous times, but there was no response.

With no other choice, Dong Lei could only head home with her empty basket, incessantly wondering what incredible event had occurred for the vendors to abandon their stalls with such abandon.

They’d even given up on their businesses, so where had they all gone?

On her way home, Dong Lei didn’t encounter a single soul, and upon returning to the kitchen, she saw her own basket devoid of anything, and she felt a raw sorrow.

How was she to cook a meal now?

Feeling helpless, Dong Lei circled around the stove countless times until an idea struck her, and she ran joyously toward the vegetable garden…

Because Gu Changsheng, the master of the house, had stayed in bed late, the household, who had woken up early, grumbled through breakfast before scattering to their various tasks.

Little Meat Bun saw his grandfather busy reading and not paying him any mind, so he toddled off to the martial arts training ground.

His mother said that one must train in the heat of summer and the cold of winter, and never slack off for even a moment. With Peacock, Lion, and Tiger still in seclusion, Gu Ze, a.k.a Little Meat Bun, considered himself an obedient and well-behaved baby. With a good sense of duty, he ran off to contend with the Plum Blossom Piles by himself.

Mr. Ban Shan, deeply engrossed in military texts, couldn’t break away. Even when breakfast was brought to his room, he only hastily took a few bites before sending Dong Lei away.

Dong Lei, looking at the dishes on the table, flashed a look of concern.

Would her madam kill her with a slap if she saw this?

Maybe? Maybe not?

Engaging with such a dialectical question, Dong Lei only pondered for a moment before abandoning the thought.

“Meet force with force, stem flood with earth. The madam has said, ‘Being still and watchful is also a virtue!'” Dong Lei murmured this to herself as she cleaned up the breakfast that the others had eaten and went back to the kitchen to prepare a new breakfast for her own madam.

And at this moment, Gu Changsheng was wrapped in his quilt, sleeping soundly!

…

Meanwhile, at Prince Mu’s Mansion’s Guest Garden.

“Ru Yu, Ru Ge, what exactly has happened outside? Why is there such clamor?” Huo Shuixian, in her trailing light purple dress, displayed a touch of anxiety on her stunningly beautiful face.

Why was it that the moment she woke up, the courtyard where she stayed was enveloped in fragrance, and her body too smelled so fragrant that it made one forget all woes?

Outside the door, bursts of noise kept coming in, seriously disturbing her peace.

“Miss, a celestial auspice has descended, right on the roof of your quarters, displaying a Phoenix Visit with Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix!” Ru Yu’s shoulder was still wrapped in white cloth, having been shot through by an arrow. Fortunately, it hadn’t hit the bone, so she was able to stand.

Thinking of the injury on her shoulder, Ru Yu’s thoughts went to that despicable Gu Changsheng who had injured her, and a trace of venom flickered across her face.

Now that her miss’s dwelling had attracted a celestial auspice, causing a sensation throughout the city, Ru Yu couldn’t help but feel a gleam of joy. Anyone who brought forth such an auspice was considered a Heavenly Chosen Noble. Now that her miss was being regarded as a deity, she wanted to see how Gu Changsheng, that scoundrel, could still be so audacious!

She must make him pay with blood for the blood debt!

“And that’s not all. Last night at midnight, the courtyard of miss emitted a fragrance that spread for miles, drawing countless people to worship. Miss, you truly are a Heavenly Chosen Noble!” Ru Ge promptly added from the side.

Hearing the words of her two maids, Huo Shuixian’s face went through several changes, from cloudy to sunny, before it turned bright red with excitement. Hardly believing, she grabbed her two maids’ arms and asked urgently, “Is what you’re saying true? Is there really a celestial auspice descending?”

Ru Yu’s shoulder throbbed with pain from being grabbed, but she was in no state to care about that right now. She put on an assured smile and quickly answered, “Absolutely true, miss. And right now, the Phoenix is still dancing on the roof.”

While speaking, Ru Yu raised her hand and pointed at the roof.

Seeing Ru Yu so certain, Huo Shuixian’s face glowed with even greater delight.

“A celestial auspice… a celestial auspice…” Huo Shuixian repeated the phrase dreamily, her exquisite face beaming with a smile that could topple cities and nations.

Whoever attracts such divine favor must be a noble chosen by destiny!

From this moment onwards, she, Huo Shuixian, would be worshipped as a deity, her status soaring!

“Haha… God blesses me, Huo Shuixian! Indeed, God blesses me, Huo Shuixian!” Huo Shuixian laughed, spinning around in dance, her movements graceful, enchanting to no end.

Ru Yu and Ru Ge exchanged glances, showing a sense of shared glory on their faces.

Their miss, with peerless talent and beauty all in one, was truly born to stand out! This miraculous scene was an omen, signaling that their miss was destined for greatness, a most noble individual!

Huo Shuixian’s joy was uncontrollable, and after dancing bewitchingly for a while, she suddenly stopped, a predatory glint in her eyes, and spat out hatefully, “Gu Changsheng! You are inferior to me in both looks and talent, and you lack divine favor. With that in mind, how dare you compete with me? Brother Mu is mine! Only I, Huo Shuixian, am worthy of him!”

“`

“Bitch! I shall see just how much longer you can continue being so arrogant!”

…

“Master, everything has been done according to your orders.”

San Cunding, holding three porcelain vials, stood respectfully before Zhou Mu.

With a tall, lone figure, Zhou Mu wore a purple python robe adorned with golden thread dragons that seemed alive, almost as if ready to soar into the Nine Heavens. At the moment, he stood in his own Lansheng Courtyard, hands clasped behind his back, his face sculpted as if by the creator, mysterious and inscrutable.

“Master?” When San Cunding didn’t receive a response for a long time, he looked up puzzled and called out again, pushing the porcelain vials slightly forward.

Zhou Mu, hearing San Cunding’s hoarse voice, snapped back to reality and glanced at the three porcelain vials in his hands, his eyes softening for a moment.

He slowly reached out, taking the vials into his grasp and caressed them gently in his palm.

If she knew that he had taken her Soul Attracting Incense, she would undoubtedly be very angry, wouldn’t she?

Thinking of Gu Changsheng’s angry appearance, a small smile tugged at the corners of Zhou Mu’s mouth, and a hint of indulgence flashed across his face. That woman was serene yet dynamic, her emotions–joy, anger, sorrow, pleasure–all genuine and unfeigned, ensnaring one irresistibly…

“You have done well, you may go now!”

Zhou Mu waved his hand at San Cunding, then, clutching the porcelain vials like treasures, headed inside the building.

In the midst of the foliage, San Cunding’s small stature was nearly invisible. Scratching his head, his wrinkled face was full of confusion.

What was his master planning to do?

Unable to make sense of it, San Cunding fortunately didn’t dwell on it. He proceeded with the plan to retrieve the “Phoenix.”

…

“Wow! So comfortable!”

After a satisfying sleep, Gu Changsheng rolled around in bed a few times before getting up.

Dong Lei had already prepared washing essentials outside. After freshening up, Gu Changsheng quickly put up her long hair and changed her clothes, then went downstairs.

Inside the dining hall, Dong Lei had already prepared breakfast and was waiting at the side.

As Gu Changsheng entered and saw the array of dishes on the table, she felt as if she were caught in a whirlwind.

Good God!

What did she just see?

Gu Changsheng reached out a trembling hand towards one of the dishes, her mouth twitching as she spoke, “Pickled radish shreds.”

Dong Lei glanced at the dish and nodded, face flushed with embarrassment.

“Stir-fried carrots.” Gu Changsheng’s finger moved to the next dish.

Hearing the altered tone in her mistress’s voice, Dong Lei involuntarily shrank a bit but still nodded.

Seeing her reaction, Gu Changsheng’s trembling finger pointed to each dish on the table, and with gritted teeth, she recited, “Radish strip pancake, braised radish, vinegar radish shreds, fried radish balls, plain radish soup…”

With each dish Gu Changsheng listed, Dong Lei shrank more and more until she was nearly hiding behind a pillar.

“Dong Lei, am I a rabbit?” Gu Changsheng asked with a wooden expression, looking at her.

Damnit! Could someone explain why, after waking up, the world had suddenly become so rabbit-friendly?

Weren’t radishes a rabbit’s favorite? Why then were they covering her table?

“Mistress…” Dong Lei called out timidly, looking like she had grievances she dared not express.

Gu Changsheng touched her face to make sure no rabbit teeth or fur had grown before letting out a sigh of relief and continued to look at Dong Lei, “Xiao Leizi, you better explain clearly to me, what’s the deal with this table full of radish dishes?”

“Damn it! Are you holding a radish conference? Didn’t I give you Silver to buy groceries? Is it that today’s market sold nothing but radishes? Do you really have to entertain me with a table full of radishes, keeping me like a rabbit early in the morning?”

Facing Gu Changsheng’s continuous questioning, Dong Lei’s face bore a bitter smile, and she murmured, “These radishes weren’t bought; they were grown in our mansion’s vegetable garden…”

Heavens know how much effort she had put into preparing this table full of radish dishes!

Seeing Dong Lei like this, Gu Changsheng looked heavenward, speechless, regretting the decision to let Dong Lei take up a corner of the vegetable garden for planting.

Now look what’s happened–buried by radishes!

She truly wasn’t a rabbit, even if Dong Lei had made Imperial Court Radishes, she wouldn’t like them!

“Dong Lei, I must have owed you in my past life for you to torment me like this in this one!” Gu Changsheng pointed at the innocent-looking Dong Lei and sighed helplessly. She felt wronged. She had been raised like a rabbit without rhyme or reason, how much more wronged could she be?

Damnit, with such a table full of radishes if she really relies on them to fill her stomach, won’t she be farting non-stop?

What the hell is this all about?

“Mistress, it’s not that I wanted to make radish dishes, there were simply no vegetables for sale, the maids had no choice…” Facing her mistress’s accusations, Dong Lei looked extremely aggrieved, honestly, she was innocent…
