Chapter 449: Caught in the act

Looking at her frail daughter-in-law, Concubine Jing felt distressed.

I really don’t know what that brat was thinking. How could he have the heart to harm such a good daughter-in-law?

After taking a look at Nanny Jiang and Aunt Liu, she grabbed Qin Chuchu's hand.

"Chu Chu, can you tell Mother about your exile?"

She looked straight at Qin Chuchu. Although she often heard news about her son at that time, it was only good news and not bad news.

She is not stupid. Putting aside other things, she will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity to eliminate her son, as for the queen and her son.

She also knew that her son was unwilling to tell her the truth because he was afraid that she would worry.

It's a good opportunity to ask my daughter-in-law what happened to them on the road of exile.

Seeing that the corn would take a while to be roasted, Qin Chuchu nodded.

"OK!"

As he spoke, he pulled Concubine Jing to sit on the big flat rock beside him and told her everything that happened during his exile.

Princess Jing, who was listening intently, frowned, clenched her fists, and wiped away her tears, even to the point where she could no longer control herself.

This stupid son hid everything from her, and even didn't tell her that he was poisoned and dying.

If his daughter-in-law had not detoxified him, the mother and daughter would have been separated forever.

Aunt Jiang and Aunt Liu, who were standing by, were roasting corn while listening, and they were also very excited.

They never expected that the prince, whom they had spoiled since childhood, would suffer so much and almost lose his life.

Seeing the old woman so emotional, Qin Chuchu helped wipe her tears.

"Mother, please don't be sad. Those are all things of the past. Isn't the prince doing well now?"

"Well, okay, I'm not sad anymore." Concubine Jing nodded.

He held Qin Chuchu's hand again and looked at her with heartache.

"Chu Chu! Don't hold a grudge against Chen Er. The reason he treated you like that before was mostly because of your father.

You are still young and don't understand these factional disputes, but I assure you that he will never bully you again."

When this daughter-in-law was forced upon me by the thief Qin, not only did her son want to kill her, but even I wanted to kill her.

Everyone thought that she married in for a purpose, but now they don't think so. These things are enough to prove that the daughter-in-law is a good one.

He is not the same kind of person as his father, otherwise he would not help his son so much.

Qin Chuchu also understood this logic and nodded readily.

"Well, mother, don't worry, I won't bear a grudge against the prince, and the prince also said that he will never bully me again. He loves me so much!"

After saying that, he realized something, stuck out his tongue, and his face turned red.

He immediately made Concubine Jing, who had a sad face, laugh, and tapped her forehead in a reproachful manner.

"You are such a heartless girl!"

Even Aunt Jiang and Aunt Liu beside them were amused by Qin Chuchu.

The originally depressing atmosphere suddenly became relaxed, and Qin Chuchu also curled up the corners of her mouth.

Looking at the golden corn roasting on the fire, I couldn't stop drooling.

"Madam Jiang, is the corn ready to eat?"

“That’s all, that’s all!”

Seeing that the princess was drooling with greed, Nanny Jiang quickly handed the corn to her.

Although it was very hot, Qin Chuchu couldn't help but bite it.

"Mmm! It's delicious, Mother, please try it!"

Seeing her daughter-in-law's greedy look, Concubine Jing's depressed mood disappeared. Although she was not interested in corn, she still cooperated and pinched a grain.

I thought this corn tasted the same as I had eaten before, but when I put it in my mouth and chewed it, my eyes lit up.

"Hmm! It tastes really good!"

She pointed at the corn in her hand and nodded heavily.

No wonder my son looked at it like a baby, the corn tasted really good.

It is soft and chewy, not dry or woody, and most importantly, very sweet. It tastes much better than glutinous rice.

Seeing the young lady praising them so enthusiastically, Madam Jiang and Aunt Liu also rubbed two of them and put them in their mouths, their eyes instantly lighting up.

"Really! This corn is really delicious!"

Both of them pointed at the corn in their hands with surprise. Before, they were just like the young lady and didn't think it was delicious.

But now when I chew it in my mouth, it is soft, sticky and sweet, and tastes better than those exquisite pastries.

"I didn't lie to you!" Qin Chuchu raised her chin proudly and started to chew the corn cob in big mouthfuls.

On the other side, in the greenhouse, after Han Muchen finished teaching how to grow vegetables, he discovered that his mother and Chuchu were missing.

"What about them?"

He turned to look at Feng Qi, then looked in the direction of the melon field, but there was no sign of his mother and Chuchu.

“…………”Feng Liu and Feng Qi didn’t say anything.

They looked at each other, both trying to hold back their laughter.

Looking at the two guys, the man hesitated for a moment and ran straight to the cornfield in front.

Chuchu has been thinking about the corn for a long time. Could it be that he stole it and ate it?

Sure enough, when he arrived at the cornfield and saw the missing corn cobs, he was very upset.

“…………”

The greedy guy stole so much food in one go even though she was told not to eat anymore.

"Where did they go?"

He turned around and looked at Feng Liu and Feng Qi behind him. He didn't smell any corn, so they should not be nearby.

“…………”Feng Liu and Feng Qi remained silent.

He just looked at the nearby hill. Following their gaze, the man also looked over there. What was there to not understand?

At this moment, Qin Chuchu didn't know that she would be caught in the act soon.

He held the roasted corn in his hand and ate it with such relish, chatting with Concubine Jing from time to time.

"Mother, this sticky corn is not only delicious, but also rich in nutrition."

"Oh, really?" Concubine Jing just nodded perfunctorily.

He didn't even lift his eyelids, obviously he was protecting his food.

This sticky corn tastes really good, no wonder my son protects it so closely. I thought I must bring back a few more when I go back so that the old man can have a taste of it.

Qin Chuchu ate the corn in her hand while looking at the two remaining ones on the fire.

I regret it now. I should have stolen a few more ears of corn. Now there are only two left, and each person can only get half an ear of corn.

When Han Muchen arrived, he saw Qin Chuchu holding two ears of roasted corn and shouting loudly.

"Mother, let's split these two up! Quickly destroy the evidence so the prince won't find out!"

Qin Chuchu looked at the two ears of corn in her hands with shining eyes, wishing she could stuff both of them into her stomach.

It's so delicious that I don't want to give it to others.

But after he had said this for a long time, he didn't hear any reply from the old woman. Then he realized that she was staring at him blankly.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Just as I was about to go over to see why the old woman was in a daze, I saw the tall and slender figure standing behind her.

“…………”The corner of her mouth twitched.

Shit! I got caught!
