Seeing that she was about to leave, he said in a deep voice, "Waste is strictly prohibited in the manor, don't you know that? There are so many dishes on the table, you have to help eat them, otherwise your monthly salary will be deducted."
Rong Qingqing: "..."
She glanced at him and asked, "May I ask where she gets her monthly salary?"
Feng Xin was focused on Xie Jingrun and didn't feel that anything was wrong.
She sat down at the table, picked up Xie Jingrun's bowl, handed it to Rong Qingqing, and said matter-of-factly, "Serve the rice."
Rong Qingqing: "..."
She filled a bowl to the brim with rice and placed it in front of Xie Jingrun.
Xie Jingrun narrowed his eyes, about to speak, when Feng Xin suddenly said, "Brother Jingrun, I didn't expect you to be so thin, yet you have such a good appetite."
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing suppressed a laugh. Noticing Xie Jingrun's gaze, she tensed up and quickly took Feng Xin's bowl, filling it with rice as well.
Looking at the mountain of rice bowls, Feng Xin stared at Rong Qingqing in astonishment, "I can't eat..."
“Princess, our Marquis has a rule that everyone is forbidden from wasting food. Wasting food is shameful. The Marquis hates wasting food the most,” Rong Qingqing said quickly.
Feng Xin glanced at Xie Jingrun with a conflicted expression, then swallowed back the words she was about to say.
Rong Qingqing took a bowl, readily served herself a bowl of rice, and then sat down at the table.
Since it was a dish she had painstakingly prepared, and Xie Jingrun wanted her to dine with him, she wouldn't refuse.
"Madam, you've been working hard managing the household affairs lately," Xie Jingrun suddenly said.
Rong Qingqing paused in her eating and looked at him suspiciously.
Then he saw the guy slightly curl the corners of his mouth, suddenly pick up the rice bowl in front of him, take the chopsticks, and scoop half of the rice into her bowl.
Looking at the bowls piled up like a small mountain in front of her, Rong Qingqing: "..."
Seeing this, Feng Xin wanted to follow suit, "Thank you, Madam..."
Rong Qingqing quickly picked up the bowl, gritted her teeth and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Marquis." Then she stretched out her chopsticks and quickly put a lot of food into the bowl.
Looking at the dish that was about to spill out, Feng Xin swallowed hard.
This was the first time she had ever seen anyone eat like this.
Can she eat that much?
Looking at the rice in her bowl, Feng Xin made up her mind that she would never come to the Marquis's mansion to eat with Brother Jingrun again. She didn't have such a good appetite, and if she ate too much, her waist would get fatter and thicker.
In order not to leave Xie Jingrun with a bad impression of wasting food, Feng Xin could only try her best to finish the food in her bowl.
She had prepared a lot to say, but she didn't have time to say it because of this.
Rong Qingqing was also struggling with the food in her bowl.
Seeing the two women's disheveled appearance at the table, Xie Jingrun smiled and leisurely ate his food.
Today's stir-fried bamboo shoots with pork tasted great, and the eggplant dish was also very fragrant and went well with rice.
At the entire dinner table, only Xie Jingrun was tasting the dishes.
"belch!"
"belch!"
Half an hour later, Rong Qingqing and Feng Xin put down their bowls and chopsticks one after the other, but couldn't help but burp at the same time.
Hearing herself hiccup, Feng Xin stared wide-eyed in disbelief, her face turning bright red. She felt utterly ashamed and didn't dare look at Xie Jingrun's reaction, afraid of seeing disgust and resentment on his face.
She quickly stood up and said rapidly, "Brother Jingrun, I'm full, I'll head back to the palace now." Without waiting for Xie Jingrun to reply, she ran out as fast as she could.
Oh my god, she doesn't want to see anyone. She even burped while eating, and most importantly, she did it in front of Jingrun.
Waaah~
Feeling embarrassed in front of Xie Jingrun, Feng Xin ran out of the front hall and didn't dare to linger, returning to the palace without stopping.
