The disliked human-shaped light bulb, through his own efforts, won five lanterns by throwing rings, defeated a five-year-old rich boy and was secretly rewarded with a roast chicken, and as the youngest challenger, climbed a high platform and won a piece of beautiful jade.
They made a fortune.
An Yi decided to head back home, otherwise making too much noise would attract unnecessary trouble.
The six brothers also had a considerable haul, filling up the remaining space in the two carriages with all their odds and ends.
When Jiang Shan was brought back to the carriage by Fu Qiyuan, he was still in a dizzy state with weak hands and feet. He only slowly came to his senses after seeing the carriage full of lanterns.
Fu Li recalled Jiang Huai's heroic deeds and concluded: "Young master wore out two sets of clothes but got a beautiful jade in return. It was worth it."
It's not a loss.
But what to do with all these lanterns on the truck?
As soon as the carriage started moving, Rong Yue pounced from the side, clinging to the carriage and panting heavily.
"I'm exhausted! Give me a ride, I can't walk anymore!" she said, trying to climb into the car.
The driver was An Yi. He glanced at Rong Shizi sideways but said nothing.
The carriage curtain was pulled back, and Rong Yue saw a carriage full of lanterns... and people hidden inside the lanterns.
Jiang Shan's voice came through the lantern: "Young Master Rong, there's no more room. If you put in a little more effort, I guarantee you'll lose two pounds tomorrow!"
Rong Yue's lips twitched, and she reluctantly let go of his hand.
Given his size, even if you cut him into eight pieces, you couldn't fit him in the car, and he was too embarrassed to kick a group of children off the bus to let him sit on it.
An Jing tapped Rong Yue's shoulder with his fan from behind, "Let's go, Your Highness. There are still two miles to go from five miles. Let's walk those two miles before we consider taking a carriage. A person should be honest!"
The guards of the Rongguo Duke's mansion watched their young master move forward step by step, without shouting that he wanted to chop off anyone's head or complaining of being hungry. They were as surprised as if they had seen the sun rise in the west.
As a result, they walked for three miles, and An Jing took him directly to the inn at Juxianzhuang.
After taking a bath at the inn, the exhausted Prince Rong slept soundly until dawn.
Feeling refreshed, I went to weigh myself.
Hey! I've lost a whole two pounds!
Two pounds! Heavens!
Rong Yue jumped and danced with joy, and the guards and attendants were so happy that tears streamed down their faces!
Their lives were saved!
"Come on, take me to have breakfast!"
The waiter bowed and said, "Sir, the owner said your breakfast is at Jiang's Private Kitchen. Please take your time!"
Rong Yue thought about it and realized it made sense. The agreement they signed yesterday stated that Boss Jiang would prepare all three of his meals for him.
Excellent! Excellent indeed!
Rong Yue walked out with her hands behind her back, her plump body creating a wavy, layered effect.
It's only two miles from Juxianzhuang to Jiang's Private Kitchen. According to the time in the Jiangshan Agreement, Rong Yue arrived a quarter of an hour early.
Surprisingly, he didn't feel very hungry while waiting for breakfast.
This was something that would never have happened before.
He used to wake up every day with an indescribable hunger, and he would feel hungry before going to bed at night, so hungry that he couldn't sleep well.
This feeling is truly amazing!
A moment later, Rong Yue's breakfast was served.
Two yam cakes, a bowl of shrimp and egg custard, a cup of milk, and finally a palm-sized piece of honey-glazed chicken breast.
There's meat! There's shrimp! And eggs!
His breakfast actually included meat! Lots of meat!
Good heavens!
If this is a dream, I wish I could stay asleep forever!
Rong Yue trembled with excitement.
Then he discovered that three more servings of the same breakfast had been delivered.
Along with breakfast, Jiang Shan, Fu Qiyuan, and a young boy were also brought along.
After the child climbed onto the table, he said, "Good morning, Uncle! I'm starting to eat," and then picked up the milk and started drinking.
Rong Yue stared wide-eyed at the child and said, "He's so small, how can he eat so much?"
Jiang Shan glanced at Jiang Huai and said to Rong Yue, "Young Master, don't argue with a child."
Soon, Rong Yue understood the meaning behind Jiang Shan's words.
Jiang Huai Xiuxiu took two sips of milk, cut the chicken breast into small pieces with a knife, and ate them in small bites. After finishing the chicken breast, she started eating steamed egg custard, then yam cakes, and finally finished the remaining milk.
After finishing the milk, Jiang Huai licked his lips, frowned as he looked at Jiang Shan's plate, and sighed.
"Mother, do you need my help?"
Jiang Shan had only eaten one piece of bread and drunk two sips of milk when he heard this, so he gave the chicken breast on his plate to Jiang Huai.
Jiang Huai didn't stand on ceremony. After finishing Jiang Shan's chicken breast, he wiped his mouth haphazardly and climbed down, holding onto the table.
"Dad, Mom, Uncle, please enjoy your meal. I'm going to get back to work! Mom, please don't be picky and don't leave any food uneaten!"
Watching her son leave, Rong Yue glanced at Fu Qiyuan, then at Jiang Shan, feeling as if a cat had crawled into her heart.
"Your Highness, the steamed egg custard will get cold if you don't eat it soon!" Jiang Shan kindly reminded him.
Rong Yue instinctively felt that he absolutely must not ask the question he wanted to ask, or he would definitely be in big trouble.
So he buried his head and quietly enjoyed his breakfast.
During the process, Fu Qiyuan casually asked if he had weighed himself today.
Rong Yue exclaimed excitedly, "I weighed myself! I've lost two pounds! Two pounds! Aren't you surprised? Unexpected, right? Hehehe!"
Fu Qiyuan was clearly stunned for a moment, but Jiang Shan did not react at all.
Rong Yue stopped what she was doing and stared intently at Jiang Shan, trying to see something on her face.
Jiang Shan looked up to drink her milk and then saw Rong Yue staring at her with a displeased expression.
"No surprises or unexpected events, what, you have a problem with that?" As he said this, Jiang Shan's fox-like eyes narrowed dangerously, as if he was ready to start a fight at the slightest provocation.
Rong Yue lowered her head sensibly. "No, no objection. I just wanted to say that whatever you say is right, and I'll listen to you!"
Jiang Shan rubbed his temples, stood up expressionlessly, and walked away without looking back.
Fu Qiyuan also put down his chopsticks, his expression slightly somber.
"What's wrong with Boss Jiang? I've lost two pounds, isn't she happy for me?" Rong Yue asked softly.
Fu Qiyuan said in a deep voice, "You should be happy, but what is there for her to be happy about? She's not in a good mood today, so don't upset her!"
Rong Yue paused for a moment, then said, "Tell her that I, the young master, will reward her!"
Fu Qiyuan didn't think Rong Yue's reward could comfort Jiang Shan.
She said her eyelids had been twitching since she woke up, which was not a good omen, so she didn't dare let Fu Li take Jiang Huai out.
Fu Qiyuan planned to go to the government office to check in and say hello before returning to be with Jiangshan.
After finishing her breakfast, Rong Yue happily took two attendants for a stroll in the street, ostensibly to aid digestion.
Everything was normal until two groups of soldiers, riding tall horses, marched from one end of the main street to the other, completely surrounding Jiang's Private Kitchen.
The general on horseback gave the order: "Tie them all up! Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"
(Someone's about to be exposed! Guess who it is! Bonus chapter for the correct guess!)
