Chapter 369: Wealthy

"But luckily, most of the people passing by were good people and helped Aman. We didn't have time to help, and Aman took care of it herself."

The Empress Dowager was immediately furious. "How can this be absurd? The daughter of a mere shopkeeper dares to act so arrogantly in the city and disregard the law."

Xiao Xuanli said, "I was watching from the side at the time. Judging from the woman's behavior, it's probably not the first time she has done something like this."

Chen Tangyu echoed, "Even the shopkeeper's daughter dares to defy the law. If she were an official, who knows how arrogant she would be in the city."

Prince Gongxuan said sternly, "Old Madam, Master Li, leave this matter to me. I promise to give A'man a reasonable explanation."

The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "Then please, A'man is my savior. Without her, I would probably be dead."

Xiao Xuanli: "We must set an example and serve as a warning to those who bully others and dominate the market."

Prince Gongxuan: "Don't worry, old lady, I will definitely get it done."

Upon hearing this, Song Chuman said gratefully, "Thank you, Madam, and thank you, Your Highness."

The Empress Dowager said with a loving expression, "You're welcome. Come and enjoy the food. Although I know your family has a lot of seafood, every chef prepares it differently, so today's lunch will also be based on seafood. You can try it."

Soon, the maids brought the dishes one after another.

Smelling the aroma of the food, Song Chuhuai and He Xiaoshuang couldn't help swallowing several times.

Song Chuman also felt very excited.

Sure enough, although this is ancient times and there are no complicated seasonings like in the previous life, the food eaten by the upper class is also delicious.

The Empress Dowager picked up her chopsticks and took a bite of the fish. "Everyone, eat."

Xiao Xuanli also took a bite of the fish.

After seeing that both of them had eaten, Prince Gongxuan and his family began to eat.

Song Chuhuai and He Xiaoshuang met their elder sister's (cousin's) gaze, and when they saw her nod, they reached for their chopsticks.

Seeing that Song Chuman didn't use chopsticks to eat, Song Chuhuai and He Xiaoshuang also imitated her.

The Empress Dowager and others looked at each other. They didn't expect the three children to be so sensible.

Song Chuman was actually also very surprised that the wealthy families here actually had the habit of using serving chopsticks.

But it’s good this way, it’s good for everyone’s health.

Song Chuman took a bite of the fish and swallowed it. Then she looked at the fish again and was stunned for a moment. "Is this a giant grouper?"

Xiao Xuanli smiled and said, "Ah Man, you have a really good palate. It's grouper, and it's the grouper shipped from your house. Tianwailou sent some seafood over today, and this table is all filled with seafood from your family."

Ziyuan looked up at the sky.

It's not just today. Every day, part of the seafood transported from Tianwailou is sent to the palace, and not even to Prince Gongxuan's Palace.

The people in Prince Gongxuan's mansion were also benefiting from the help of their master and the Empress Dowager today.

Otherwise, if they wanted fresh seafood today, they would have to go to Tianwailou.

Song Chuman nodded: "I see."

Shen Hanrui thought about it and introduced them to Song Chuman: "Aman, these dishes are all delicious. This is deep-fried shredded prawns, scrambled eggs with starfish, braised octopus with soy sauce, stewed white-scaled fish with scallions, braised barracuda, steamed black tiger prawns, and this is bird's nest and grilled abalone."

Grilled abalone?

It is probably made of dry goods.

As expected, Prince Gongxuan’s Mansion is very wealthy.

Song Chuman tasted each one and said, "They are all delicious."
