Leng Ming's words made Luo Xue feel a little embarrassed. In such an occasion, if a grown man like him picked up food for her, it would be strange if others didn't misunderstand if they knew about it.

"Thank you. I mean, my throat isn't feeling well today, so I'd like to eat something light."

Light?

Leng Ming's eyes scanned around, and when he saw the vegetables, he picked them up again and put them in front of Luo Xue.

Luo Xue was not a person who liked to show off, and she also did not like Leng Ming to show his kindness to her in public, so she directly blocked Leng Ming's hand with the chopsticks in her hand.

"You don't have to clip it for me. I can do it myself."

Leng Ming's hand hung in the air, obviously a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Luo Lan was busy trying to smooth things over.

"Ming'er, Luo Xue doesn't like others serving her food, so you eat it yourself."

Leng Ming's face flushed red. He said "oh" and put the vegetables in his hand back into his bowl. He lowered his head and secretly stuffed the vegetables into his mouth.

Looking at this scene, Leng Xi had a hint of sarcasm on his lips, while Yu Qiaoqiao acted as if nothing had happened. She picked up food for Xiaobao and ate it herself without even looking at Leng Xi.

In order to show his status in the family, Leng Xi picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it into Yu Qiaoqiao's bowl. This surprised Yu Qiaoqiao. It was the first time in so many years that he had picked up food for her. While she was secretly happy, she was also puzzled.

Leng Xi probably had no idea what Yu Qiaoqiao liked to eat. When he saw Yu Qiaoqiao eating the spareribs, he instantly felt satisfied, so he picked up another piece of braised pork and put it in her bowl.

Yu Qiaoqiao shook her head and returned the piece of meat to him.

"This meat is too fatty. I can't eat it."

this……

What is the difference between this scene and Leng Ming who was directly rejected just now?

Leng Xi's face instantly turned pale as he looked at Yu Qiaoqiao, "Don't you like eating meat?"

Yu Qiaoqiao didn't even look at him and replied directly:

"When did I ever say I like meat? You have no idea what I like."

"you……"

Leng Xi snorted coldly and growled softly,

"You don't know what's good for you. I've taken you too seriously."

"Thank you, Prince Xi, for your kindness. Qiaoqiao feels unworthy of it."

After saying this, she turned her face away, lowered her head and started eating the food in the bowl, completely ignoring Leng Xi.

At this moment, Leng Xi was no less embarrassed than Leng Ming just now. He secretly decided in his heart that when he got home, he would definitely teach this woman a lesson.

Leng Yu continued to do as she pleased and picked up the dishes Luo Lan liked, and Luo Lan ate them all without refusing. It seemed that they were the only two people at the table who were relatively harmonious.

After the banquet, Luo Lan took Luo Xue on a tour of the Duke's Mansion, letting her familiarize herself with the situation. When they arrived at the back garden, they sat down in the pavilion together. Luo Lan asked with concern:

"Luo Xue, what happened between you and Leng Ming? Why do I feel like something is wrong with you? Don't you like him?"

Luo Xue pondered for a while and shook her head.

"It's not that I don't like him. I just find it hard to accept that he's not young anymore and still does nothing all day. I'm not one to enjoy a comfortable life. To be honest, I can't stand a man like him who lives solely on a salary from the court."

Luo Xue's words moved Luo Lan a little. She really overlooked this point. In her impression, Leng Ming had been doing nothing since he established himself as the head of the palace. Fortunately, the salary from the court was enough to support the expenses of Prince Ming's palace.

Thinking of this, she nodded and comforted:

"Otherwise, ask your brother-in-law to arrange an official position for him in the court so that he can gain some experience. It's really not right for a man to sit around doing nothing all day."

"Well, actually I know he likes me, but lately I've noticed that he's acting more like a child. He thinks that as long as he says he loves me and likes me, he's treating me well. But I don't think so. I'm looking for someone to spend my life with, not someone to spend all day in love with. Just like you and my brother-in-law, you're busy with your own things during the day and come home together at night. That's the kind of life I yearn for."

Luo Lan turned around and looked at her, smiling softly:

"Since you also want to go out and do some work, why not come to Huichuntang and help me? I happen to be short of staff there."

"Is it really possible?"

Luo Xue looked at her with some joy. "Sister, if it's really possible, I want to go. I don't want to be a pampered young lady at home, nor do I want to be like Yu Qiaoqiao, a woman who only takes care of her husband and children. I want to be like you, with my own things to do and the ability to take care of the family."

When mentioning Yu Qiaoqiao, Luo Lan chuckled helplessly and shook his head.

"Everyone has different ideas and lifestyles. For Yu Qiaoqiao, being a wife and mother is the life she wants most."

"But I always feel that she and Leng Xi are only in love on the surface. I wonder what kind of life they lead behind the scenes. I've seen her twice, and she never seems to smile..."

"Yes, a woman's happiness can be seen from her face and her smile. There are indeed problems between Yu Qiaoqiao and Leng Xi. Sometimes, when a woman sacrifices herself for her family, how can she be happy?"

Thinking of Yu Qiaoqiao's rude attitude towards Leng Xi during the dinner just now, Luo Lan couldn't help but feel a little worried. She wondered if Leng Xi would be furious with her when he returned.

The facts were basically consistent with Luo Lan's guess. Leng Xi had just returned to Prince Xi's Mansion and asked Xiaobao to go down. She directly took Yu Qiaoqiao back to the room.

"Tell me, what do you want?"
