The moment Qingxi howled, Qingxuan took advantage of Qingxi's inattention and ran away using Qingxuan.

"Qingxuan, you lied to me and said you gave the roast duck to the prince, but all you saw on the table were duck bones. Liar, liar! I worked so hard to secretly buy the roast duck, but I didn't even get to eat a single bite."

"That's fine, but you also criticized me for drinking."

Qingxi was feeling aggrieved, but Xie Ruiyuan was enjoying the food.

Although he has never been particular about food when he is away from home, he will not compromise himself if conditions permit.

He had originally planned to transfer the chef from Banyue Villa, but now it seems that it is not necessary.

His future princess has such good cooking skills that the food she cooks is even better than the food prepared by the royal chef.

Why would he go so far as to send in a chef? Why not just look for the future princess directly?

Li An took the roast duck and went to the underground cave instead of the old house.

He knew that his elder brother would not be at home at this time and must be working in the fields.

Sure enough, when he was still some distance from the ground, he saw his elder brother bending over to work.

Thinking back to when he was a child, his eldest brother took great care of him. If it weren't for his eldest brother protecting him from the wind and rain, he might not have lived to grow up under the care of Old Lady Li.

But since the two brothers had a stepmother, their lives have changed drastically and they have never had a good day since then.

He was relatively better, knowing to subsidize his wife and children in private, but the eldest brother was different. He was too honest, but in return, he did not win his father's favor, but his stepmother became even more aggressive.

If Yueyue had not come back, his family would have been eaten to pieces in the Li family's old house with Wanniang sick and his leg broken.

Now his family has moved out, but his eldest brother's family is still in the old house.

Without seeing it with his own eyes, he could guess what kind of life his elder brother, sister-in-law and two nieces were living.

Li Hai stood up and saw Li An walking towards him.

"Brother, why are you here?"

Li An quickly gathered his low mood and said to Li Hai, "Brother, it's time for dinner, why are you still sitting there?"

"Oh, well, I...I'll be back soon."

Li An did not expose his elder brother's lie, but put the roast duck into Li Hai's arms.

"Brother, this is the roast duck that Yueyue made. Let me give it to you, your sister-in-law, and your niece."

"Brother, no need, just keep it for yourselves."

"Brother, this is a gift from your niece. Do you want to make Yueyue sad?"

"No, no, I don't think so."

“Gurgle gurgle!”

Listening to the rumbling sound from his stomach, Li Hai felt extremely embarrassed. If he hadn't been working in the fields all year round, his face would have been tanned.

Li An could definitely see Li Hai's face blush.

"Brother, we still have roast duck at home. If you refuse again, I will be angry."

"Brother, don't be angry, I'll take it, I'll take it."

Li Hai had just accepted the roast duck when he heard the girl's voice not far away.

"Dad, Dad, come home for dinner."

"Hey, Dad, I'll be back soon."

“Brother, you…”

"Ah, what's wrong?"

Li An wanted to say not to bring the food home, and let Qiao'er call her sister-in-law and Rou'er out, and the four of you can eat outside before going back.
