Ji Yuqi reflected on himself: Was it because he got too proud of eating the coin, laughed too loudly, lost all his image, was too embarrassing, and made Pei Yucheng feel annoyed.
So, she remained silent for the rest of the dinner.
Showing caution.
When the housekeeper of Pei's residence stepped forward and wanted to take away the Pei family's coins, Ji Yuqi subconsciously protected the coins on the table.
Seeing Ji Yuqi's extreme reaction, the housekeeper of the Pei residence quickly said respectfully, "Madam, I will clean and disinfect the coins for you and bring them back to you shortly."
"No need." Ji Yuqi refused directly, "I'll handle it myself later."
She had a hard time getting to eat it.
What if she got rid of it?
The housekeeper of Pei's residence did not say anything else and just retreated.
When Ji Yuqi withdrew his gaze, he inadvertently met Pei Yucheng's gaze again.
It was pitch black and bottomless.
Ji Yuqi felt a little numb on his scalp.
Every dish on New Year's Eve is not only exquisite, but also very particular.
Many of them were things that Ji Yuqi had never seen before.
She really wanted to try it.
However, glutinous rice balls are really filling.
She couldn't eat half a bite.
Seeing that she didn't move her chopsticks, the old lady of the Pei family and Pei Quyan both signaled her to eat more.
Ji Yuqi said yes, but he didn't let the servant next to him pick up any food.
It was very quiet during the meal.
Everyone ate in silence.
Just when Ji Yuqi thought this atmosphere would last until the end of the meal, Pei Huaijin suddenly asked in a particularly surprised voice, "Strange, why is today's soup lotus root and pork ribs instead of premium chicken?! Didn't Feng Ningshan send a chicken?!"
Originally, the old lady of the Pei family and Pei Quyan didn’t care much about it.
After hearing Pei Huaijin's question, he noticed: Sure enough, there was none.
Almost all the dishes were served, but the prime chicken was missing.
Although the premium chicken is exclusively for the head of the Pei family.
However, family gatherings are essential.
Upon hearing this, the chief steward of the Pei Residence quickly explained, "A few days ago, when I was counting the ingredients, I called the chief steward of Fengning Mountain and asked him. He said that Fengning Mountain's premium chickens are no longer available and are still being cultivated. They won't be available until next year."
"No more?!" Pei Huaijin was puzzled. "Each batch of high-quality chickens may not be many, but it's enough to eat every year. How could they be gone?!"
Pei Yucheng said, "I ordered Feng Ningshan to send them all to the Imperial Palace."
Hearing this, Pei Huaijin was even more surprised: "Send them all to the Imperial Palace?! So many, brother, can you eat them all?! Will it be too nutritious?! No, don't you dislike eating chicken?!"
"I fed it to the dog. Do you have any objection?!" Pei Yucheng asked.
Pei Huaijin almost jumped up when he heard this: "Feed the dog?! The top-quality chickens are fed with thousand-year-old ginseng, and you feed them to the dog?! Which dog?! The dog king from the dog farm?! No way, brother, my precious nephew needs to replenish his body for surgery, and you were so stingy that you only let Feng Ningshan send him one. Feng Ningshan has so many top-quality chickens, but you fed them all to the dog?! Isn't being your dog a little too happy?!"
While Pei Huaijin and Pei Yucheng were arguing about how the premium chicken disappeared, Ji·Happy Dog·Yu Qi was anxiously poking the table with his chopsticks.
As she poked, she gritted her teeth secretly: [You are the dog, Pei Yucheng, your whole family, except for me and Chengcheng, as well as Master Fo and Uncle Pei, you are all dogs.]
[Also, I'm so pretty and cute. Even if I were a dog, I'd be the cutest. How could I possibly be that hideous, hideous dog from the kennel?!]
Just when Ji Yuqi's mental activities were at their peak, the chopsticks in his hand that were constantly poking the table suddenly broke into two pieces.
“…” Ji Yuqi.
