Fu Hang's lips were sore from talking, so he eventually resorted to using his hands. There was no other way; it had been thirty minutes already.

He saw several people passing by looking at them strangely.

"Mom! You've said it a hundred times, can't we go now?!"

Fu Hang took her hand and used a little force to drag her out step by step.

Just as Fu Yinyin straightened up and was about to leave, a shout suddenly came from inside.

"Yinyin! Where are you?!"

Fu Yinyin reacted instinctively, pressing her entire body against the door: "Hey! Someone's calling me, let me see!"

Perhaps because her son had pulled her too hard, she suddenly pushed the door open as soon as she lunged at it.

With a loud bang, the door slammed shut.

Fu Hang felt awkward and wanted to leave immediately, but his mother was bewitched by the aroma, and her feet started to walk inside against her will.

Having no other choice, Fu Hang had to bite the bullet and follow them inside.

Inside, Zhang Yang was sobbing to himself, drinking one bitter cup of wine after another.

My heart is breaking as I think of my lover, who is nowhere to be found.

Shen Jiaojiao sighed inwardly: Another pitiful man hurt by a woman.

What is time and love? It makes men cry and lose their way.

Chu Tianling heard the door open and saw Zhang Yang crying so hard he couldn't move, so he got up and went out.

I just happened to see a woman walk in, and a familiar face following behind her.

"Fu Hang, what are you doing here?" Chu Tianling was quite surprised.

He only brought Shen Jiaojiao and another person with him when he entered the palace today; he didn't bring anyone else.

Bringing Shen Jiaojiao here for dinner was a spur-of-the-moment decision; generally, no one would know.

There was a hint of caution in asking that question.

"Oh my! Young man, I didn't expect you to know my Hang'er! That's wonderful, it's fate that we meet!"

What she really meant was: We all know each other, so it wouldn't be too much to ask us to stay for a meal later! Hehehe.

She was willing to risk everything for a bite to eat.

Fu Hang knew he was in trouble the moment he saw the other person's eyes. His Highness hadn't brought anyone with him, clearly he had come out secretly, and now his mother had ruined it.

His mother has no idea how serious things are. Oh no.

Fu Hang quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Highness!"

He didn't know how to explain it.

Fu Yinyin was genuinely startled this time: "This...you are His Highness the Crown Prince?"

It's a pill.

Fu Hang quickly pulled her along: "Mother, quickly bow!"

Fu Yinyin panicked and followed Fu Hang's example, bowing respectfully: "Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Chu Tianling looked at the two of them, his gaze sweeping over them, and asked cautiously, "Get up. What are you doing here?"

Fu Hang quickly replied, "Your Highness, I was just about to take my mother out for a nice meal today, as we were passing by when we smelled the delicious aroma coming from here. My mother was so attracted by the smell that she came in. I apologize for disturbing Your Highness."

Fu Yinyin quickly tried to cover for her son: "Yes, yes! I didn't mean it. I hope Your Highness will be magnanimous."

At this moment, Shen Jiaojiao also came out. Seeing the three of them, she recognized Fu Hang: "What happened?"

She could also sense the awkward atmosphere in the air, and her mind raced. Suddenly, she remembered something.

"I remember, I think I still owe you a sword. I almost forgot about it after all this time."

"Your sword was a great help back in that cave in the suburbs. Come find me tomorrow, and I'll get it for you."

I subtly reminded him that this was the person who had gone to rescue you before, and he even lost a sword. You can't just kill innocent people indiscriminately!

Innocent! Innocent!

Fu Hang quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Highness. No need for apologies. I apologize for accidentally disturbing your meal today. I hope you won't mind. I will take my mother away now."

Shen Jiaojiao approached with a smile and asked Fu Yinyin, "Auntie, it's nothing serious. I heard you haven't eaten yet either. Would you like to come in and have something to eat if you don't mind?"

Fu Yinyin almost agreed, but thankfully she regained her composure: "Thank you, Your Highness. We won't bother you any longer today. Hang'er and I have other things to do, so we won't stay any longer. I'll come back here to eat next time I have time. You two enjoy your meal."

Fu Hang looked up at Chu Tianling but did not say anything, and quickly took his leave.

Inside, Zhang Yang, half-asleep, seemed to hear a familiar voice, calling out, "Yinyin... Yinyin..."

"You heartless woman!"

"Come back!"

He had no idea he had ever been so close to the Venerable One. If he knew he had missed out on something just because he had a few extra sips of wine, he would probably be furious.

At this moment, Fu Hang quickly pulled Fu Yinyin away.

After Chu Tianling waited until Zhang Yang had drunk enough, he helped him to his bedside, settled him in, and then left with Shen Jiaojiao.

Having escaped unscathed, Fu Hang and her daughter, who had left, lost their appetite for the feast and simply returned home.

The next morning, Fu Hang went to work again, while Fu Yinyin felt a strong urge to eat, thinking about the aroma of meat she had smelled the day before.

With the silver in hand, they found themselves back at the entrance of the courtyard from yesterday.

She didn't go in directly, but waited nearby.

It's still too early; it's only 8 a.m., so it's probably not time to start cooking yet.

Let's wait and come later.

I passed by the door at 10 o'clock and didn't smell any fragrance.

It probably started burning in the afternoon.

She went home again, and when she passed by the door again at 2 p.m., she indeed smelled a rich aroma of meat.

Fu Yinyin couldn't wait any longer; it smelled so good!

She hurried into the courtyard, where there were only three tables. She randomly chose one and sat down.
