Chapter 236 You can probably guess who he is
. It is true that Xu Heyou cannot bear the disputes he is involved in. He really does not dare to have too many interactions with him so rashly.
When Chu Lan realized his recklessness, he was also deeply aware of his multiple gaffes on Xu Heyou.
If this is normal, he shouldn't be so careless. He should have considered these things in advance.
Chu Lan looked at Wei Ruo and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
If Wei Ruo couldn't see his face, he couldn't guess what he was thinking at the moment from his expression.
"Sorry, I was reckless." Chu Lan apologized to Wei Ruo with a solemn expression.
Seeing him apologizing, Wei Ruo said nothing more.
"I still have something to do, so I won't chat with you."
After Wei Ruo finished speaking, he turned around and entered Zhuangzi.
This time Chu Lan did not stop him. After Wei Ruo entered Zhuangzi, Chu Lan also left with his people.
Back in Zhuangzi, Wei Ruo's face was still calm.
"Miss, are you still unhappy about Mr. Zhu? It's wrong for him to deceive the young lady, but I don't look at him as someone who doesn't know how to avenge the young lady's kindness." Xiumei comforted Wei Ruo.
"Meimei, the time and place when Zhu Zongyu was injured are too coincidental. I have never been willing to think about the relationship in detail." Wei Ruodao.
"What coincidence?" Xiumei was puzzled.
"The time Zhu Zongyu was injured was almost the same as the time the Seventh Prince was injured, and the time he left Zhuangzi was also almost the same as the time the Seventh Prince was found." Wei Ruodao.
"No way, then...that person is..." Xiumei was so surprised that she covered her mouth with her hands.
Didn't the young lady become the savior of the Seventh Prince? It's just that the seventh prince didn't know that the person who saved him was their lady.
"It's very possible. I've confirmed it, but I don't want to confirm it. It's just that the farther we stay away from him in the future, the better." Wei Ruo, her disgust for Chu Lan is engraved in her bones.
Wei Ruo didn't know about Chu Lan being attacked and injured when she rescued Zhu Zongyu. When she found out, she immediately encountered the plague. She didn't have any free time to think about it.
When he met Zhu Zongyu again in Wangcun later, his posture and clothes revealed his unusual identity. At that time, Wei Ruo felt a strong hostility towards him.
Wei Ruo knew in her heart that this hostility was not just because of his deception, but also because she had thought of another possibility.
It's just that she didn't want to confirm it, because it had already happened, and confirming it would not help, it would just add trouble to herself.
Xiumei nodded obediently, and then asked: "Then... will your identity be discovered, Miss?"
Wei Ruodao: "I can only hope that he will not check. If you check carefully, you will definitely find out."
Xu Heyou This identity does not exist. Zhuangzi's real master is Wei Qingruo. This matter can be hidden from ordinary people, but it cannot be hidden from the seventh prince. As long as he wants to check, her identity will definitely be exposed.
Because it was not something he could control, Wei Ruo didn't plan to continue to worry about it.
Wei Ruo didn't see Zhu Zongyu again in the next few days. It seemed that he had listened to what she said that day.
Later, Wei Ruo also heard that the sixth prince in the capital had sent people to ambush and attack the seventh prince. He was punished, dismissed from his post, and confined to his own residence.
Naturally, the news came that the Seventh Prince had officially reported to the military camp. Due to injuries suffered in an attack, he took up his post several months later than expected.
In addition, Wei Ruo also heard an unconfirmed rumor that an old case in the capital was about to be overturned. It seems to be related to Queen Xu's natal family, Xu Guogong, who died many years ago. These things had nothing to do with Wei Ruo, so she just listened to the excitement and focused on her own career.
Wei Ruo has been going to Stone Village more frequently recently. Firstly, the brewery needs her more places, and secondly, she has to replace the seedlings.
At Shi Dayou's insistence, nearly two-thirds of the seedlings in Shitou Village were replanted, and the remaining one-third was judged by Shi Dayou to be no problem.
After getting along, Wei Ruo learned from the villagers that the reason why Shi Dayou became the village chief at a young age was because he once saved the villagers of Shitou Village. Not only did he help them solve the problem of rice field irrigation, but he also helped Everyone saved the fallen rice, so they were deeply loved and trusted by the villagers.
So this time, Shi Dayou felt that there was something wrong with the seedlings, and the people in the village chose to believe him and worked with him to raise the seedlings again.
Although it increased everyone's workload, in order to have a good harvest this year and not go hungry, no one complained.
While wandering around Stone Village, Wei Ruo made an unexpected discovery.
There are moso bamboos planted in the mountains near Shitou Village, and bamboo fungus grows among the bamboo forests. This is a rare delicacy.
When Wei Ruo asked the villagers, they didn't know that they were edible fungi. They just thought they were harmful snake eggs. Not only would they not pick them when they saw them, they would destroy them casually.
This made Wei Ruo cry out for the waste of natural resources.
As long as the dark and ugly outer skin is peeled off, there is fresh and white bamboo fungus inside. This is a delicacy.
Wei Ruo told the villagers about this, but the villagers did not believe it.
"Mr. Xu, do you think this white thing is a delicacy?"
Everyone looked in disbelief.
"If you don't believe it, I'll use it to make a dish for you guys to try." Wei Ruo planned to demonstrate it to the villagers directly.
So Wei Ruo and Shi Dayou borrowed the kitchen and took Xiumei to cook two dishes using bamboo fungus.
One is scrambled eggs with bamboo shoots; the other is bamboo fungus soup.
The cooking methods of both are not complicated, because bamboo fungus itself is very delicious, and excessive cooking will only destroy the original flavor of the food.
After the two dishes were finished, Wei Ruo brought them to the yard.
At this time, there were many people surrounding Shi Dayou's yard. In addition to Shi Dayou, his wife and children, there were also several villagers from the village.
They all came to see the truth after hearing what Wei Ruo said about the snake eggs on the mountain being delicacies.
Seeing that everyone still didn't believe it, Wei Ruo tasted two dishes in front of everyone.
Seeing that Wei Ruo had all eaten, the others felt relieved and came forward one after another to share some to eat.
In this age without MSG, the umami flavor of fungi is very exciting to the taste buds.
And Wei Ruo and Xiumei have excellent cooking skills, and they can make simple home-cooked dishes taste wonderful.
The villagers, who usually had a rough diet, showed surprised expressions after eating Wei Ruo's two dishes.
They now completely believe that the thing they have despised for generations as a snake egg is indeed a mountain treasure.
Shi Dayou lamented: "It's a pity that there aren't enough of these things growing on the mountains, and they can't fill your stomach like rice and noodles."
