Those who reach this level will enjoy longevity and be free from all internal diseases!
A faint smile appeared on Su Yu's lips.
We are one step closer to the Divine Realm.
……
Early in the morning, the kitchen of the Fan family mansion was filled with the fragrance of osmanthus blossoms.
On the pot, a basket of osmanthus cakes is steaming, and it will be ready soon.
Next to the steamer stood two children, their mouths watering.
That's right, it's Fan Xian and Ruoruo, these two siblings.
Fei Jie also moved a stool and sat there to wait.
This is what he did last night when he accompanied Fan Xian and Ruoruo to the general store.
I made this using the osmanthus cake recipe that I specifically got from Wuzhu.
All three of them agreed that this was definitely the best osmanthus cake in the entire Danzhou city.
After a while, the osmanthus cake was steamed.
The cook then took the osmanthus cake out of the steamer and handed it to the little girl with practiced ease.
"Miss Ruoruo, please take this."
Ruoruo nodded and walked out with the osmanthus cake in her hand.
Fan Xian tiptoed, but unfortunately, he was still too short to reach the steamer.
The cook clearly had no intention of serving the illegitimate child osmanthus cake.
In the past two days, the servants in the mansion have been following the example set by Steward Zhou, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
The illegitimate child in this household seemed to be treated with far less respect than before.
Before Fan Xian could figure out why this sudden change had happened, he didn't plan to retaliate.
So he was about to leap up and grab the osmanthus cake.
Fei Jie shook his head speechlessly and took two pieces out of the steamer.
"Fan Xian, catch!"
The two tossed and caught the food with perfect coordination.
A sweet, soft, and steaming osmanthus cake was then placed in Fan Xian's mouth.
The other piece was carefully packed away by Fan Xian and hidden in his bosom.
Fei Jie then took a piece and popped it into his mouth, nodding in agreement. It was indeed delicious.
However, he doesn't like sweets because they make him prone to tooth loss, so he only ate one piece.
While eating, she watched in bewilderment as Fan Xian kicked off and ran away quickly.
"Fan Xian, you're going to class later, why are you running?"
Fan Xian turned to look at Fei Jie and smiled somewhat guiltily.
"I'll take it to the gentleman while it's still hot."
After saying that, he immediately ran away.
As long as you run fast, you won't get beaten up.
Fei Jie's face darkened; he immediately felt that he had been truly misled.
If I had known, I would have fed those two pieces of osmanthus cake to the rabbits in the yard instead of giving them to Fan Xian.
He then angrily flicked his sleeves and went to his room.
Still angry, Fei Jie turned around and glared at the running boy.
He murmured in his mouth.
"You brat, you just wait!"
"Today's lesson: Testing poison! Twenty bottles!"
Meanwhile, the door inside the house was slightly blown open by the wind.
The autumn wind gently brushed against my face, bringing a touch of coolness.
Su Yu woke up in bed and slowly opened her eyes.
Sunlight filtered through the sparse leaves outside the window, creating dappled patterns of light and shadow.
At the same time, a faint floral fragrance also wafted over.
That was the fragrance of the osmanthus blossoms in the courtyard, fresh and delicate.
Su Yu closed her eyes, took a gentle breath, and felt refreshed.
He loves the scent of osmanthus flowers the most.
He stretched and then sat up.
Hearing the commotion inside, Dong'er and Sisi pushed open the door and entered.
She began to busy herself with Su Yu, helping him change clothes, rinse his mouth, and wash his face.
I have been living in the Fan family mansion for over a year.
Su Yu has long been accustomed to this corrupt life of having everything handed to her.
So he just yawned casually.
He was enjoying the personal service of his two maids.
Occasionally, he would accidentally touch the girl's slender waist or brush against her fair, jade-like fingers.
Or perhaps, some other soft and warm part of the body.
Su Yu simply smiled calmly, watching as the youthful woman blushed instantly.
"Mr. Su, Sisi will bring you breakfast."
The woman smiled shyly, finished speaking, and quickly slipped away.
Before long, Su Yu sniffed and smelled the aroma of food.
It’s osmanthus cake!
However, it wasn't Dong'er who brought it; she wasn't quick enough. It was Ruoruo.
Ruoruo's eyes curved into crescent moons as she smiled sweetly at Su Yu.
"Sir, here's some freshly baked osmanthus cake. Please enjoy it."
Ruoruo is soft and sweet, and her voice is so cute and adorable.
Su Yu smiled and pinched Ruoruo's little face before carrying her to the dining table to eat together.
The two were eating when they heard several hurried footsteps coming from the doorway.
Just then, Fan Xian rushed in excitedly, laughing.
"Sir, look what I brought you."
She carefully tried to take out a wrapped osmanthus cake from her bosom.
Before it was even taken out, Su Yu and Ruoruo had already started eating.
Fan Xian's face immediately showed some disappointment.
I was planning to surprise my husband, but the little girl beat me to it.
He had no choice but to open the package and eat with them, glancing helplessly at Ruoruo.
"You short legs, but you run pretty fast."
Ruoruo snorted and turned her head away.
She looked at Su Yu, tugged at his sleeve, and said in a childish voice.
"Sir, my brother always bullies me."
Su Yu couldn't help but smile and patted Ruoruo's little head.
Before he could even speak, Fan Xian immediately turned his head sharply and spoke first.
"Sir, I was wrong!"
"It's because my legs are short that I run slowly!"
"Please don't punish me by making me copy books again, sir."
"My hand is going to break, really!"
Su Yu and Ruoruo were amused when they saw Fan Xian's swollen hand.
The three of them ate breakfast while chatting and laughing.
Meanwhile, Fei Jie quietly prepared twenty bottles of poison in his study, waiting for Fan Xian to arrive.
And so, the student began another miserable afternoon of repeatedly going in and out of the outhouse.
After dinner, Su Yu took Fan Xian for a walk.
Fei Jie and Ruoruo, one was preparing lessons and the other was sleepy, so neither of them came along.
But other uninvited guests arrived and were on the roof, ready to draw their swords.
To be precise, the assassin had been following Fan Xian the whole time.
That person was already there when Fan Xian was waiting for the osmanthus cake in the kitchen that morning.
Perhaps they even tried to put something into the osmanthus cake.
But for some reason, they ultimately didn't poison him.
They chose to carry out the assassination in the most direct way possible, under the cover of darkness.
Suddenly, a cold sword light struck from the front.
