Chapter 927 - 929 Mo Ziqi’s Promise (1)
Noon had passed, and Cai Wei, after a good sleep, awoke. The first thing she did upon waking was to instruct Chun Liu to boil water, as she wished to bathe and change, incidentally bidding farewell to her dear menstruation.
Chun Liu hesitantly said, "Miss, Guard Feng has ordered that to avoid detection by outsiders, we cannot light fires during the day at our manor."
Cai Wei replied incredulously, "We can’t light a fire? How will we cook? Surely we aren’t expected to eat raw food for three meals a day?"
Chun Liu said, "Guard Feng mentioned that all our meals should be prepared at midnight, during the third watch, or when dark clouds cover the moon, so that no one can see the smoke rising from the chimney. Hence, our three meals a day are all prepared at night and we simply eat them as is during the day."
It might be convenient to eat ready-made meals, but alas, cold rice and soup, no matter how delicious, lose their taste after sitting out all night!
Cai Wei waved her hand dismissively, "Nevermind, just clean the bath tub and fetch some water for me; I still want to bathe first."
"Miss, are you planning to take a bath with cold water? Bathing with cold water can cause illness. It’s better if you endure for now and wait until this matter is over before bathing," Chun Liu earnestly cautioned her.
Cai Wei knew that a woman’s body is fragile and bathing in cold water was harmful, but there were urgencies at hand. At this moment, she could not concern herself with whether a cold bath might harm her body; she just wanted to cleanse herself quickly, communicate with Space, and understand the current situation as soon as possible to decide her next steps.
She gave Chun Liu a sidelong glance, "If you dawdle any more, you can go back to the Bafu Restaurant and stop serving me."
"Miss, your servant has overstepped, I won’t dare again. Please show leniency!"
