That night, Yun Chunnuan went back and used a sieve to filter out the large particles of dry grass and impurities.
Only the relatively clean white wood ash was left, which she soaked in boiling water for an hour.
The resulting lye was of high purity, but the lye water was very murky.
She put it in a small jar, keeping track of the time, planning to make the soap two hours later, even if it meant staying up all night.
Yelyu Lie was watching his young wife curiously from the side all along.
Seeing ash on the tip of her nose, he reached out a large hand to help wipe it off.
But Yun Chunnuan was too focused and instinctively dodged.
Yelyu Lie's hand stalled in mid-air, and his young wife brushed him aside, telling him not to get in the way.
This made Yelyu Lie quite frustrated.
He couldn't understand why she always instinctively avoided him!
If it were deliberate, he wouldn't be so sensitive, but because it was an unconscious reaction, it didn't sit well with him...
