The other was a royal prince of Nan Ling and was also the blood-related son of the current emperor, he naturally has a lofty and arrogant disposition! Ruan Zhu thought this but did not speak.

Nuan Qing took out a bag of charcoal and poured some into the brazier before taking out flint and igniting a fire. One hand held a fan as he fanned the fire with tightly controlled movements and after a short moment, a very red fire burned brightly. He then searched for some red beans and wolfberries and simmered them in a pot, creating a very fragrant and thick soup. Ladling a bowl and carrying it over, he used a spoon to feed Ruan Zhu one mouthful at a time, while Nuan Chun, who had been mutually supporting Ruan Zhu and himself, used a handkerchief to carefully wipe at the corners of her soup-stained mouth.

Aunt Sun looked on with envy: “Your family’s two bedwarmers are really considerate, much better than my own. How about I use Blockhead to exchange for one of yours?”

Blockhead? Ruan Zhu looked at her in astonishment as she followed the others’ gaze. It turns out Blockhead was Xuanyuan Min Zhi. She felt it was a rather fitting description as that person truly resembled a block of stubborn wood that did not know how to associate with others and did not know how to return kindness for kindness. He had a temper of a spoiled young master.

Using my bedwarmer to exchange for your Blockhead, you could actually come up with this? If I didn’t suspect Xuanyuan Min Zhi of being such a hot potato, I wouldn’t have given him to you earlier. Wanting to send him back after fooling with him, that disgusts me. I’ve already made a mistake once, wouldn’t I be crazy to make the same mistake again?

Nuan Chun heard the the other wanting to exchange for him and sent a resentful glare towards Aunt Sun.

Nuan Qing was in the middle of feeding soup to Ruan Zhu. His hand holding the bowl trembled and a bit of the red bean and wolfberry soup spilled onto Aunt Sun’s skirt. The scalding soup caused her to open her mouth in pain, but fortunately, it had been ladled for a while now and did not cause any injuries.

Ruan Zhu berated him: “What is wrong with you, why haven’t you apologized to Aunt Shen yet?”

“Aiyo, Madam Sun, pardon me, please see it as this one not holding the bowl properly. Please do not take offense. How about I wash it for you later?”

“No……no need.” Aunt Sun knew she had provoked these two bedwarmers and awkwardly said: “In any case, this material is not very good, how could I trouble you? I can just have Blockhead wash it later.”

Again with ‘Blockhead.’ Ruan Zhu looked at Xuanyuan Min Zhi, full of sympathy. With a turn of her head, she saw Lu Piao Xiang also looking at the other in ridicule. That’s right, ah, they had previously been acquainted.

She remembered the armed confrontation that had occurred several months ago.

Lu Piao Xiang was in a very good mood and leisurely sat cross-legged on a cushion with his guqin horizontally across his lap. His fingers lightly strummed the strings. Xuanyuan Min Zhi was just a little over five meters in front of him, lighting a fire. The two men glanced at each other and moved their eyes away, as if they strangers.

Lu Piao Xiang felt Ruan Zhu’s gaze and returned a faint smile. His hands slowly moved and a soothing piece flew out from his fingers, adding a poetic touch to the rainy day.

Ruan Zhu looked at him, stunned. This was actually “Across the Water.”

She had only sung it once, yet he remembered and could also play it on the guqin. A great master was indeed a great master, able to let others respect them greatly.

The sound of the guqin floated in the air, like moving raindrops so limpid and pure. Listening to the sound caused most of their exhaustion to vanish.

Xuanyuan Min Zhi was still trying to start a fire. Every time he had just barely ignited the pot of charcoal, it would extinguish in the next instant and this sequence was repeated several times. Aunt Sun
