The breakfast served by the servants was very plentiful.
In addition to common snacks such as glutinous rice cakes and ice cream, there are also braised pork lung, rice porridge, small steamed buns in various flavors of sweet and savory, and delicate clove wontons.
All the food is made very delicately and in small portions, so even those with small appetites can eat several different kinds.
After Su Xuerong encountered Ling Qingxue's family yesterday evening, Zhou Shi became emotional and barely ate any dinner. She then went with Xiao Yuan to rescue people late at night, and woke up this morning starving.
She didn't stand on ceremony and ate most of the clove wontons in front of her.
Zeng Ling couldn't help but whisper, "Sister, you have such a good appetite?"
Although they were whispering to each other, Xiao Yuan, who was sitting next to her, also heard it and looked up.
Su Xuerong said somewhat awkwardly, "I am indeed a little hungry..."
If it were someone else, she might have been more reserved.
But there were only Xiao Yuan and Zeng Ling at the table, so why should she pretend?
Zeng Ling looked guilty: "It's all my fault, I've dragged my sister down..."
As she spoke, her eyes reddened again, and tears streamed down her face as if they were free.
Su Xuerong immediately lost her appetite and looked at her speechlessly: "Aren't you hungry?"
I stayed with her last night and listened to her cry for half the night; she was already at her breaking point.
Even though she had suffered a lot in the Ge family before, things were starting to look up, so why did she still look so resentful?
Suddenly, a pair of silver chopsticks placed an ice cream on Su Xuerong's plate.
A cold, male voice rang out: "Do not speak while eating or sleeping!"
Zeng Ling immediately stopped crying and weakly said to Xiao Yuan opposite her, "Your Highness, please forgive me, I..."
"Clang!" A crisp sound came from the bowl and plate of the man opposite. Zeng Ling saw a pair of sharp and cold eyes. Startled, she quickly lowered her eyes and stopped talking, but kept wiping away her tears.
Seeing that Xiao Yuan was getting angry, Su Xuerong stopped talking and silently ate the exquisite meal in front of her.
After she finished a bowl of clove wontons, a piece of ice cream, two sweet and savory steamed buns, and drank half a bowl of thick rice porridge, she finally felt a little better.
Seeing that she had finished eating, Xiao Yuan glanced at the woman beside him.
Zeng Ling barely touched the lilac wontons in front of her, let alone the other food next to them.
I spent the entire breakfast time wiping away tears.
He stood up and said to Su Xuerong, "Pack up and head back to the city later."
After saying that, he walked out without looking back.
Su Xuerong stood up and looked at Zeng Ling's red and swollen eyes, and couldn't help but rub her forehead.
She seemed to understand why Madam Ge disliked her.
"Zeng Ling, you can stay here and rest for a few days. Once the divorce papers arrive, you can leave..."
Before she could finish speaking, Zeng Ling suddenly knelt down in front of her with a thud, grabbed her sleeves with both hands, and cried, "Sister, can you stay with me for a few more days?"
Seeing Su Xuerong's troubled expression, she cried even more bitterly: "The prince was kind enough to rescue me from the Ge family, but I really don't know how to live on my own. I'm afraid that after the divorce, I won't be able to step out of the mansion... Sister, can you teach me?"
Seeing her like this, Su Xuerong's heart softened, and she hesitated.
"Sister?" Zeng Ling's cautious expression reminded her once again of her humble self in the palace in her previous life.
“I didn’t come home last night, and I need to go back and tell my family…” Su Xuerong said, “How about this, you can wander around here for a while, I’ll be right back.”
Zeng Ling then stopped crying and let go of his hand.
One side of the corridor.
"Why did that woman wear the light yellow dress that I chose for Arong?"
Xiao Yuan stared coldly at Cheng Shi in front of him.
Cheng was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground: "Your Highness, please forgive me. Last night, when Song San brought the two ladies over, this old servant did not know that Lady Su was Your Highness's honored guest. This morning, this old servant intended to wait for Lady Su to wake up so that they could choose together, but Lady Zeng got up early and said some ambiguous things to this old servant. This old servant was foolish and thought that Lady Zeng..."
"stupid!"
Cheng immediately lowered his head in shame.
Actually, when she saw the two of them appear together last night, with Su Xuerong's looks, she should have guessed that she was the prince's beloved.
But Zeng Ling made various gestures last night that made Su Xuerong take care of her, which puzzled her.
This morning, Zeng Ling got up early and mentioned, intentionally or unintentionally, that she was able to leave the Ge residence thanks to the Prince, without mentioning Su Xuerong at all.
Cheng Shi then assumed that Zeng Lingcai was someone the prince cared about, and that Su Xuerong was probably brought by the prince to take care of her.
So he let Zeng Ling change into the light yellow peacock robe.
Hearing the prince's reprimand, Cheng Shi became somewhat annoyed.
She had served the Empress Dowager in the palace for many years, yet she had failed to see through Zeng Ling's cunning schemes; she was truly ashamed.
Xiao Yuan said coldly, "Keep a close eye on her these next few days and await my news."
Once the divorce papers were brought, he immediately had her sent away.
Su Xuerong, that silly girl, probably never expected that she had saved a cunning ingrate.
Just then, Su Xuerong hurried over, lifting her skirt: "Your Highness, have you kept us waiting? Let's go!"
Xiao Yuan looked at her slightly anxious expression, smiled gently, reached out and brushed the strands of hair that had fallen across her face behind her ear, and then deliberately pinched her earlobe.
Su Xuerong: "..."
Didn't you see anyone else around?
Besides Cheng Shi, there were a few maids, but they all kept their heads down and didn't dare to lift their eyelids.
Su Xuerong irritably brushed away his unruly hand and pulled him toward the door, saying, "Aren't you in a hurry? Let's go!"
