Upon hearing the sound, the two tiger cubs released the woman and trotted back, circling around Han Luoxue, raising their heads, sticking out their red tongues, and wagging their tails.
That expression, how come it looks so much like a puppy wagging its tail and begging for mercy?
The women were stunned again; they had seen tigers before.
It was Mengyao's tiger, but that tiger was so menacing that even with a muzzle, no one dared to approach. But these two in front of us, who can tell them what's going on?
"Be good, everyone."
Seeing the two little ones looking for praise, Han Luoxue smiled and patted their heads.
She pulled out two pieces of dried meat from her sleeve. These were homemade, cumin-flavored, and the three little tigers loved them.
For every piece of meat given as a reward, the little tiger sat up with its bottom down, grabbed the jerky with its two front paws, and slowly ate it like a child.
Everyone: Forgive them for their lack of knowledge, forgive them for eating like this.
The unconscious woman on the ground was long forgotten.
After Han Luoxue finished distributing the dried meat, she looked up at everyone and saw Zhou Jie staring wide-eyed.
She followed her gaze and saw that she was staring intently at the jerky in the tiger's paw.
"You want some too?"
She originally made the jerky herself as a snack, but she didn't expect the little tiger to eat it too.
She thought for a moment, then took out two more pieces, handing one to Zhou Jie:
"Want to try some?"
"Even humans can eat it."
Zhou Jie asked blankly. She had already been shocked by Han Luoxue many times and didn't care about being shocked again.
She naturally picked up the dried meat, put it to her mouth and smelled it; it seemed to taste pretty good.
"Yes, I originally made this for myself, but they like to eat it too."
Han Luoxue took a bite as she spoke, and Zhou Jie, without suspicion, followed suit. Her eyes lit up: "Xue'er, you made it so delicious! No wonder they love it so much. I love it all!"
Everyone: I always feel like you're comparing yourself to a tiger, I wonder if that's true?
"Yes, I absolutely love this flavor."
Seeing the two men and two tigers eating so heartily, even the women couldn't help but swallow their saliva. Was it really that delicious?
"May I call you Xue'er?"
Before anyone could react, Mengyao stepped forward with a smile and asked eagerly.
"That's not appropriate, Miss Meng. Please call her by her name!"
Before Han Luoxue could speak, Zhou Jie spoke first.
She didn't like Han Luoxue and Mengyao having any connection. One was her ex-fiancée, and the other was her current fiancée; getting them together would cause trouble.
"Zhou Jie, is there some misunderstanding about me? I can explain!"
Mengyao knows that the Zhou family is treating her badly now, but who knows the bitterness in her heart and her predicament?
“Miss Meng is too kind. I am but a lowly merchant’s daughter. How could I possibly misunderstand you, the Crown Princess? Oh, no, the Crown Princess-to-be. Well, anything is possible before marriage, perhaps…”
She didn't finish her sentence, but everyone understood what she meant.
However, no one felt comfortable interjecting on that topic.
The feud between Mengyao and Prince Zhen, and between the Crown Prince, is not something they can gossip about.
Zhou Jie's words were extremely impolite, and Meng Yao's eyes reddened with grievance. She knew that the Zhou family was blaming her, but why couldn't they think about her?
If Prince Zhen were well, she would like to quietly be his woman.
"You still blame me after all."
Mengyao's eyes were red, but Zhou Jie smiled indifferently: "You're overthinking it. I was just... reminding you."
"Zhou Jie, your little tiger is so well-behaved."
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, those who were more lively started to change the subject.
Actually, putting aside the current gossip, Zhou Jie and the little tiger that this girl brought are really well-behaved.
So cute, I can't help but want to pet it.
"Yes, they are very obedient."
Zhou Jie squatted down and picked one up.
Strangely enough, although the two tiger cubs looked exactly alike, she could tell which one was Doubao.
Zhou Jie only dared to touch this one. The other two weren't very good-tempered, and she really didn't have the guts to pet them.
Zhou Jie had no idea that Doubao had been raised by Han Luoxue for a long time and had become accustomed to human touch, while the other two had spent more time with the big tiger and were naturally more ferocious.
"Zhou Jie, is this your friend?"
We're all from Beijing, and we hang out together regularly, so we all know each other.
"This is my younger sister, Han Luoxue."
Zhou Jie introduced them generously, even patting the tiger's head, and said with a smile, "These two tigers belong to my little sister Xue'er."
"Huh? Is the tiger hers? She looks like a..."
"A village girl?" Han Luoxue naturally took over the conversation, not feeling embarrassed at all: "My family does farm, and we live near the mountains. This tiger was brought from the mountains."
Wow, did you really catch it yourself?
And it's so well tamed?
The way everyone looked at Han Luoxue changed slightly.
You have to understand, they don't have the ability to catch tigers, nor can they tame them.
Those who had previously complimented Mengyao on how difficult it was to have a tiger now looked somewhat embarrassed.
Yu Xiaoxiao didn't dare to say a word; she hated Han Luoxue to the core now.
I have a feeling that this woman did it on purpose, deliberately trying to embarrass her.
That's outrageous.
"Xue'er's family has a lot of grain; our family's food comes from her family."
Hiss! At this moment, everyone's eyes lit up when they looked at Han Luoxue.
The Zhou family has plenty of fresh food, which is unique in the capital.
They never imagined that these things actually belonged to Han Luoxue's family.
Where does she live?
In this time of famine, where did they get so much food?
There were also fruits, some of which they had never eaten before.
Everyone was incredibly curious.
"May I touch it?"
Some people couldn't resist touching the tiger cub, but Han Luoxue smiled and said softly:
"Sure."
"By the way, Han Luoxue, do you sell the dried meat you just ate?"
It looks delicious. They want to eat it too.
"We're not selling it for now, but we might sell it later."
Han Luoxue's smile remained gentle, drawing secret admiration from everyone present. Although Han Luoxue's attire wasn't particularly elegant, ...
Her calm, proud, and unperturbed demeanor is nothing like that of a country girl.
"Xue'er, can I buy some of your fruit? We also have a shop."
Some people were envious of the Zhou family's goods and the huge profits they could make, so they started poaching their employees right in front of Zhou Jie.
However, Zhou Jie just smiled coldly; she wasn't worried at all.
They didn't know what their relationship was with Han Luoxue.
This is Han Yuchen's fiancée, who could possibly steal her away?
"I'm sorry, I don't have much here either, so for now I'll only be supplying the Zhou family."
