"what?!"

The eldest brother looked at the fourth brother in shock and asked, "What did you say? Xiaowu was taken away by that woman?"

After seeing the doctor off, he waited in front of the Moon Gate for the servant who had followed him to buy the medicine, which delayed him for some time.

Who knew that something like this would happen in the blink of an eye?

"Why did she take my fifth brother away alone..." The eldest brother was so anxious that he circled around the room. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. "She even chose to come when we were not around. What on earth does she want to do?"

Human beings’ greatest fear comes from the unknown, especially when the original owner has a bad record. Countless bad possibilities emerge from the old man’s mind. He seems to have seen the miserable appearance of Old Five lying there unconscious after being abused.

By this time Guyu had already wiped the third brother's body and left. Only then did the eldest brother dare to show disrespect to Qin Yaoguang in his words.

The third brother was leaning against the head of the bed, with a wet cloth covering his forehead and his eyes half-closed.

After eating a large bowl of vegetable and lean meat porridge, and through physical cooling, his body temperature dropped a little. He no longer felt as uncomfortable as before with the high fever, and at least his mind became clear again.

He witnessed the whole process when the fifth child was taken away, but like the fourth child, he could not understand Qin Yaoguang's purpose.

"what to do?!"

After walking around anxiously for several rounds, the eldest brother felt that he had no place to vent his anger. After yelling loudly, he hit the window frame with a "bang", causing a large dent in the window frame that was already covered with mottled paint.

There was a loud noise, which startled the third and fourth brothers.

"Big brother."

The second brother walked in from outside, looked at him disapprovingly and said, "Brother, I have told you many times that you must control your temper and not let others know that you are born with supernatural powers."

He was obviously one year younger than the eldest brother, but his words made the eldest brother stammer, "I... I was just anxious for the moment. I, ah! If only I was there when Xiaowu was taken away, I would never let that woman take Xiaowu away even if I died!"

"Now, what should we do?"

Several children turned their eyes to the second child.

The second brother pondered for a moment and said, "This witch is full of tricks. Why don't I go there?"

"you?"

The eldest brother was stunned and quickly stopped him: "No, if something happens to you, we will be at a loss. I'd better go, I'll go!"

Having said that, he started to walk outside.

The second brother held him down with his hand, shook his head and said, "Brother, I have to go for this."

"Correct!"

The fourth brother grabbed the eldest brother's sleeve and said, "Just let the second brother go. I, I'm afraid you can't handle it."

Both children were kind enough not to say anything about the fact that the eldest was not as smart as the second.

In the past, the eldest princess bullied and abused them in various ways, but she never allowed the children to set foot in Huamu Hall, let alone come to Zhufeng Courtyard.

What happened in the past two days was really strange, and they were worried that the boss wouldn't be able to handle it.

The eldest brother stopped and looked at the third brother, only to see the third brother slowly shaking his head.

He was straightforward and stamped his feet and said, "Okay! If you don't want to go, then don't go. But can you go alone, second brother?"

"Don't worry, I'm going to make a deal with that witch. She won't do anything to me." The second brother said calmly.

They knew he had some secrets, but he had never harmed them, and the children trusted him very much.

What they didn't know was that after the second brother turned around, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

How could he be sure of a deal with that temptress? He was just trying to hold on and act on his own will.

Huamu Hall and Zhufeng Courtyard are as different as heaven and earth.

Lao Wu was carried into the yard by Chunfen, and he felt that he could not see enough with his eyes.

Why are there green trees and flowers blooming on such a cold day? It's the same house, why does it look so beautiful and warm? Why is there a fluffy carpet on the floor?

His little head couldn't figure it out.

Qin Yaoguang sat on the couch, motioned Chunfen to put Lao Wu down, and ordered: "Go and bring the rose water for Xiao Wu to taste, and also bring some easy-to-make snacks."

Xiaowu has been malnourished for a long time, and feeding him too much at once would cause problems.

Rose dew is a tribute specially provided to the royal family. It is a fragrant dew distilled using a secret method. It has a bright color and a rich fragrance. It is a rare item that even ordinary families of meritorious service can hardly taste.

In addition, it is an important prop that has appeared several times in the original book.

When reading the book, Qin Yaoguang was extremely yearning for the rose dew that was described as miraculous. He even left a message in the book review section, asking the author whether this food really existed.

She is an old reader, and the author answered very seriously, saying that it was written with reference to the rose dew in "Dream of Red Mansions". Since it exists in "Dream of Red Mansions", it must have existed in some historical context.

This made her want to taste it even more.

But in modern society, she can only think about it.

However, now that she has traveled through the book, regardless of what will happen in the future, why wouldn't she do something that can satisfy her curiosity right away?

Not long after, Bai Lu brought out two bottles of rose water on a rosewood tray with gold-painted crabapple leaves, and next to them were a colorful glass cup and an open-mouthed enamel hand-pressed cup.

The glass cup was the eldest princess's usual tea set, but the hand-pressing cup was newly taken out from the small storeroom.

Bai Lu knelt down and said, "Your Highness, do you think this hand-pressing cup is useful? I asked Shuang Jiang to open the small storehouse and find one."

This was the first time that Lao Wu came back to Huamutang. Bai Lu was unsure of Qin Yaoguang's intention, so she found an ordinary cup with bright colors but unknown origin, thinking it was neither good nor bad.

Qin Yaoguang was a little surprised.

Are all the royal families so particular? Or is it only the princess's mansion? Even a cup must be asked by her before it is allowed to be used by others.

However, given her current status, it is a good thing for the servants to maintain a sense of fear, at least they dare not disobey her.

Otherwise, in addition to dealing with Zhou Qinghe, gaining the children's trust, and finding out the secrets hidden in the princess's mansion, he would also have to compete wits and courage with the servants, which would be too tiring.

Now that she has traveled through a book, Qin Yaoguang doesn't want to die from overwork again in this life.

"can."

Qin Yaoguang agreed indifferently, her eyes falling on the two bottles of rose dew.

It is called a "bottle", but in fact it is a small glass jar only three inches in size. The sealed lid is a silver screw cap with the words "Rose Perfume" written on it in goose yellow paper.

Regardless of the taste, the packaging alone is very exquisite and extremely precious.

Bai Lu poured a spoonful of roses into each of their cups, then added boiling water that had cooled to warm. The scent of roses instantly lingered in their noses.

Lao Wu sat upright on the couch, but stretched his head towards the cup.

At this moment, a little girl came to report: "Your Highness, the second young master is here and said he wants to make a deal with you."

"Oh?"

Qin Yaoguang smiled faintly and thought: He's here as expected.

"Let him in."
