The people at the table were stunned, then looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally, Marquis Changxing and the others all turned their attention to Chuanwen.
Chuanwen stared wide-eyed. What? What does that mean?
"I don't know?"
The old lady coughed and then turned to Wang Shi, telling her to calm down and explain what had happened.
Although Wang didn't know why everyone's attention was focused on Chuanwen, she quickly answered when the old lady asked her a question.
She had been bringing Chuanwu dinner every night for the past few days, and he was always there when she went. But today, she was told that Chuanwu hadn't gone to the manufacturing camp all day. She had clearly seen him off this morning, so how could he not have gone to the manufacturing camp?
Wang's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly said that she still needed to find Tang Fengxing. Sure enough, Tang Fengxing was not around for a day!
"No, nothing bad will happen, right?"
Wang's face turned pale. She wondered if Tang Fengxing had taken Chuanwu to do something shameful. She felt sorry for Chuanwu. He was only sixteen and hadn't even gotten married yet. He had already been taken advantage of by an old woman. How could he face his future wife and children?
[Pfft!]
Chuanwen almost spat out the chicken leg in his mouth, and Marquis Changxing and the others quickly perked up their ears.
My brother was sold to work as a milkman!
[It's right there at the dairy farm outside the Ministry of Works.]
A silence fell over the room, but Madam Wang was extremely anxious. "Let's send people to look for them right away!"
Chuanwu is, after all, a member of the Changxing Marquis's family. No matter how great Tang Fengxing is, he shouldn't humiliate a member of the Changxing Marquis's family like this!
"Yes, we haven't seen them for a whole day, let's hurry up and look for them!"
Chuan Yi was also extremely anxious and suddenly stood up.
Chuanze wasn't too flustered, because he looked at the others and, being observant, he sensed that they didn't seem too panicked.
"Hmm, hmm, look, look!"
Marquis Changxing summoned several guards, whispered a few instructions to them, and then sent them out to search.
Seeing this, Wang understood immediately and was filled with anger.
No wonder they weren't flustered or anxious. It turns out they knew that Chuanwu had been coughed at by Tang Fengxing, but they all chose to remain silent, all for the sake of that marquis!
Wang suddenly felt that the people at the table in front of her were too indifferent. No matter how important the marquis was, would they be willing to exchange a child's future for him?
Traditional martial arts, how pitiful!
Although no one knew what Wang was imagining, Marquis Changxing felt a chill run down his spine from her stare, as if he had done something heinous. Heh heh heh, it wasn't like he was the one who sold the traditional martial arts, why was she glaring at him like that?
"That kid has always been a troublemaker. He's probably just out having fun somewhere. Come on, let's eat first. Maybe he'll come back on his own in a bit."
Xu Yan urged everyone to continue eating and even called out to Wang Shi warmly. Wang Shi, however, was panting heavily with anger, looking at Xu Yan as if she were some kind of wicked stepmother. She threw down a "I can't eat" remark, rolled her eyes at them, and left.
Xu Yan: ......
What did I do to deserve this?
"It's alright, it's alright. I'll bring her some later. Come on, let's eat."
Chuan Hai told everyone to continue eating, but apart from Chuan Yi and Chuan Ze, no one at the table seemed affected by Chuan Wu's disappearance.
Chuanyi's food tastes like cardboard. Where are you, Brother Wu?
Chuanze noticed the subtle atmosphere among the family and wondered if they knew where Chuanwu had gone.
The message reads: "My brother is so pitiful. Nobody cares whether he's alive or dead. I wonder if those guards will be able to find him."
Marquis Changxing: "Madam, this dish is quite good today. Come, have some more."
The old lady smiled and nodded, took a bite, and said, "Hmm, it's really good. Come on, everyone, have some more."
Chuan Hai, Chuan Rui, and Xu Yan laughed as they picked up food, making Chuan Wen sigh again. "Brother, when did you fall out of favor? Poor you, you're practically being kicked to death by a cow, while Mom and Dad are still eating happily!"
cough!
cough!
cough!
A series of coughs suddenly erupted from the table. Chuanwen's gaze fell on the dish that Marquis Changxing had praised as delicious, thinking to himself, "Heh heh, thank goodness I didn't eat that dish. I didn't expect Sister Han's bad breath to be so potent."
The coughing group was a little confused. What did this have to do with Sister Han? Although they didn't know who Sister Han was.
Sister Han is fairly good-looking, but she was assigned to work in the kitchen. She was unhappy about it, so she secretly spat into the food when no one was looking.
vomit!
Xu Yan was the first to vomit, followed by the old lady, and then came a series of dry heaving sounds.
Chuanze and Chuanyi looked puzzled, as did the maids serving in the room. What was going on all of a sudden?
Listening to their gagging, Chuanwen exclaimed, "It seems Sister Han's bad breath really is awful!"
[Huh? Why didn't they vomit before? Didn't Sister Han spit into a plate of vegetables every day? She even stirred it up on purpose so no one would notice.]
Ugh! No, stop talking! Ugh!
After they finished gagging, everyone at the table lost their appetite. Some felt nauseous because they had swallowed saliva, while others felt nauseous from the sound of vomiting.
"I'm stuffed."
[It's not that I'm full, it's that I can't eat anymore. Sigh, I'm going back to my room to eat some snacks!]
Chuanwen put down his chopsticks, got up and left, and Wenxue, who was in a difficult situation, quickly followed.
As the Marquis of Changxing and the others watched Chuanwen's departing figure, the sorrow on their faces was almost tangible. So you always knew, why didn't you tell us?
Not only did they not tell them, they also watched them eat food with saliva on it!
Devil! Devil! Devil!
