The red color is actually a new type of seed coating product made from insecticides, fungicides, compound fertilizers, trace elements, plant growth regulators, and the like.

When Lady Tao left, she took away five jin of corn seeds.

That very night

Concubine Xu remained perched by the windowsill, continuously waving her round fan, waiting for the arrival of the man in black.

Having survived a brush with the plague, she feared the man in black even less now; she felt he didn’t seem like a bad person.

After all, the man in black had promised her that if she didn’t die, he would tear off his mask to show his face.

She was still quite curious what the man in black looked like?

But after waiting left and right for an entire hour, she did not catch sight of the man in black.

Perhaps because the wait was long, Concubine Xu grew somewhat impatient. She stuck her head out and peered into the pitch-dark night, "Where is he? Why hasn’t he come yet?"

Concubine Xu fumed, "Normally, when I least expect it, he always manages to appear when it’s least anticipated. Now that I’m waiting for him, he doesn’t show up."

"You’ve made a promise to someone, how can you stand her up?"

"There’s no sense of professional ethics at all, no, there’s no sense of manliness. To go back on one’s word!"

All of Concubine Xu’s rantings were overheard by the man in black on the roof.

At this moment, the man in black was sitting on the red glazed tiles, listening to Concubine Xu’s complaints, yet he remained seated without moving.

As the complaints quieted down, the man in black thought Concubine Xu was tired of talking and decided to rest.

Just as the thought crossed his mind, he heard Concubine Xu roar in dissatisfaction.

"Are you even a man?"

Man in black: "..."

"Young Master, what are you doing?"

"Nothing, going to sleep."

At this point, the lights inside the room went out.

The man in black sat for a while, then got up and used his light-footed skills to head to Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

At this time, Xiaoxiang Pavilion was even more tranquil than Yixiang Hall.

The man in black leapt down from the rooftop, standing by the window; only a single candle was lit in the room, and it was not bright.

The person inside had already fallen asleep.

The man in black hadn’t been idle these past few days; he had investigated Shen Chuwei’s maternal family, Shen Shangshu’s estate, and learned that Shen Chuwei was born of a maid. Due to Shen Chuwei’s mother’s transgression, the mother and daughter were sent to the countryside.

She wasn’t brought back home until she was fourteen and became the Crown Prince’s maid at the age of fifteen.

All of this had nothing to do with Xiao Jiu.

He had thought before that Shen Chuwei might be similar in appearance to Xiao Jiu merely by coincidence.

Then, when he witnessed a wild cat scratch Concubine Xue, things became more complicated.

There was also the possibility that Shen Chuwei too possessed some ability to communicate with animals.

Xiao Jiu had been sought for five years without a trace.

As if she had vanished from this world.

The man in black stood outside the window for a long time, then silently departed.

The morning sunlight sprinkled on the windowsill, and the Lucky Jade facing the sun broke into a bloom of a small yellow flower through the middle crack.

Lucky Jade is a type of succulent, commonly known as ’butt flower’~

Shen Chuwei rarely got up early.

When Chun Xi came in, she found Shen Chuwei already dressed up, which amazed her.

She carried a washbasin inside and placed it on the rack.

"Young Master, why don’t you sleep a bit more?"

"Can’t sleep." Shen Chuwei approached the rack to wash and rinse.

After cleaning up, Shen Chuwei sat in front of the dressing table, with Chun Xi attending to her makeup.

Chun Xi was skilled with her hands and knew Shen Chuwei’s preferences. She deftly styled Shen Chuwei’s hair.

"Young Master got up so early today, today this servant has made steamed pork dumplings, pancakes."

On hearing about steamed pork dumplings, Shen Chuwei thought of zongzi, her favorite egg yolk meat dumplings.

"I want to eat zongzi."

Chun Xi was about to attach the peach blossom Pearl Flower to Shen Chuwei’s hair and replied, "Young Master, this servant has made steamed pork dumplings; too much glutinous rice is hard to digest."

"Tomorrow is Dragon Boat Festival, and you won’t even let me have a few zongzi to satisfy my cravings?" Shen Chuwei immediately added, "And mung bean cake, a must-have for Dragon Boat Festival."

"Young Master, how about we make zongzi tomorrow?"

"Today, I’ll eat one less steamed pork dumpling, have more zongzi. Tomorrow, on Dragon Boat Festival, no dumplings, all zongzi."

"..." Chun Xi: "Young Master, do you believe what you’re saying when you say that?"

Shen Chuwei was unable to refute and sighed, "I miss His Highness."

Chun Xi: "..." Here we go again~

At the dining table

Seeing the steamed pork dumplings, Shen Chuwei felt tremendously tempted, eating one after another...

Until she grabbed the last one on the plate and took a bite, Chun Xi said indistinctly, "Young Master, have you eaten less?"

Shen Chuwei boldly claimed, "The size you made this time is too small, it’s not that I’ve eaten a lot."

Chun Xi: "..."

After finishing her morning meal, Shen Chuwei, seeing Chun Xi picking up clothes, patted her stomach, "Chun Xi, the baby wants to eat zongzi."

Chun Xi looked toward Shen Chuwei’s stomach; the Young Master was truly willing to use even the baby as an excuse to eat.

What could she say?

Of course, it was time to wrap zongzi.

After one hour, Shen Chuwei finally got her wish and savored the egg yolk meat dumplings, contentedly patting her stomach: "Indeed, a child brings honor to its mother."

Chun Xi: "..."

Shu Ying, with letters in hand, hurried day and night to reach the Military Camp.

Upon seeing Shu Ying, Xiao Jinyan knew Xiao Jiu had written him a letter again.
