Qin Luo's mouth dropped open as she listened.
"Only one master?"
The butler immediately nodded.
"You and the young master left behind the message for the three masters!"
Yuan was delighted upon hearing this: "Go to the accounting office and collect your reward!"
The steward knelt down and bowed in gratitude: "Thank you for the reward, sir!"
After getting up, he returned to his original spot and stood still.
Qin Luo sighed inwardly: It's so good to be rich in ancient times!
Wu Hua didn't have time to pay attention to what they were saying, eating one bite after another, her little feet swinging happily as she ate.
By the time Qin Luo looked over, all the plates it could see had been eaten clean.
The maids serving the food didn't even have time to put it on their plates. Although they were surprised, they didn't dare to ask their mistress about it and could only gradually increase the speed at which they served the food.
Qin Luo quickly called out to Wu Hua in her mind to stop it from eating. Wu Hua, hearing this, could only reluctantly close its little mouth.
Seeing that he had stopped eating, the maid asked him with concern.
"Young Master, are you full? You have quite the appetite!"
Old Yuan looked at the table in front of Wu Hua, and was somewhat surprised.
It ate more than half of the food on the table; its appetite is truly enormous!
But fearing that Wu Hua might have eaten too much and had indigestion, she asked, "Little one, is your tummy uncomfortable? Should we ask the physician to prescribe some medicine to help with digestion?"
Wu Hua rubbed her tummy and shook her head unhappily.
"No need, Grandpa, I'm not full at all!"
Seeing that Wu Hua was sullen, Qin Luo felt bad too. Wu Hua was usually obedient and sensible.
He just likes to eat a lot, which isn't a serious problem.
But she was also worried that Wu Hua's differences would attract attention, after all, the Qin family was behind them.
One can't act impulsively in everything, but it's unfair to Wu Hua...
Old Yuan also noticed Wu Hua's displeasure and assumed it was because the servants hadn't served her well.
He immediately reprimanded everyone.
"How did you serve him? Why is the young master unhappy?"
Upon hearing this, all the servants knelt down and kowtowed in unison.
"It was my fault! Please punish me, Master!"
This startled Qin Luo and Wu Hua. Wu Hua immediately jumped off the armchair and pulled the maid who was serving the dishes to her feet.
The maid, who was suddenly pulled up, was once again amazed by its strength, but she didn't dare to stand and immediately knelt down again.
Wu Hua could only look to Elder Yuan.
"Grandpa, please help them up! These ladies are serving them very well!"
Qin Luo also chimed in.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Yuan, please let them get up! Zai Zai is unhappy because of me. I didn't let it eat more, so it..."
Seeing that both of them had said so, Yuan Lao waved for the servants to rise.
"Everyone, go outside and wait. Make sure the guards patrol more frequently!"
The butler rose and accepted the order.
"Yes, Master!"
Then he led his servants out.
When only three people remained in the large dining room, Elder Yuan asked Qin Luo...
"Young man, why won't you let the baby eat? And how come the baby has such a big appetite!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo's mind nearly went blank, and he could only resort to his talent for making things up once again.
She first sighed sadly, and then slowly began to speak.
"To be honest, Zai Zai has been different from others since it was a baby. It was born with intelligence, and not only does it have an enormous appetite and strength, but its intelligence is also beyond the imagination of ordinary people!"
To confirm Qin Luo's statement, Wu Hua feigned a profound expression.
But with its childlike face, it only makes onlookers laugh.
Looking at its upright expression and slightly furrowed brows, Yuan Lao thought it did indeed have a rather intimidating air.
So they began to examine it closely.
"Little one, do you know what the foundation of a family is?"
Without hesitation, Wu Hua replied, "Unity, friendship, trust, shared beliefs and goals, unwavering in the face of outsiders' opinions, working together to protect and manage!"
Mr. Yuan was satisfied with its answer, and then asked, "What is the purpose of human beings in this world?"
Wu Hua answered with composure.
"People of different kinds have different ideas when they live in this world. Some pursue spiritual fulfillment and inner satisfaction, some strive for excellence and create value, while others just live a life of mediocrity. In short, it varies from person to person!"
Yuan Lao was overjoyed after hearing this.
"Excellent! Excellent! As expected of my grandson, Yuan Yong! Hahahaha~"
After laughing, he picked up Wu Hua and continued, "Your brother said you are extremely strong. Tell your grandfather how strong you are!"
Wu Hua looked left and right, then picked up the chopstick rest on the table and crushed it to pieces.
Old Yuan stared at the powder on its hands for a few moments, then wiped its little hands clean with the tablecloth before looking at Qin Luo.
"You're very kind! But you can just be yourself here with your grandfather. Everyone in the manor is a carefully selected orphan, and their lives and fortunes are in my hands. There's no need for them to live cautiously anymore!"
Qin Luo seemed to see a reflection of Qin Ling in him, and called out sadly, "Grandpa~"
Upon hearing this, Old Yuan seemed taken aback for a moment, then thought that since the little one was his grandson, it wasn't wrong for her to call him "Grandpa."
With a beaming smile, he replied, "Oh! Good boy!"
Wu Hua knew Qin Luo was homesick, so she jumped off Old Yuan, walked to Qin Luo's side, and took her hand.
"Luo Luo, let's write more letters to our elders later! They must miss us too!"
"Great! Write a few more!"
When Mr. Yuan learned that the two children were homesick, he quickly changed the subject.
"This food is getting cold! Someone, bring out another table of food so my two grandsons can eat as much as they want!"
This time, Wu Hua didn't jump for joy; instead, she secretly raised her head to look at Qin Luo's expression.
Qin Luo was amused by its adorable appearance.
