"Hahahaha, that's great."
"???" Jin Suting felt a little upset. Was she so happy just because she didn't like her mother? Was she really that bad?
"Since A Rui doesn't like you, I won't pursue the matter of you deceiving the emperor!"
The Queen Mother was in a good mood, but she lacked analysis. A Rui seemed to have said before that he did not want to appoint a Crown Princess.
Since you don’t like that girl Jin Suting, then there is hope for Yu Qinglan!
"Then you should go back first! Let's not expose Arui yet, just treat this as a little secret between us!"
The Queen Mother's expression changed so quickly that Jin Suting didn't react for a moment. After a pause, she said, "Oh, okay, okay."
In this way, the Queen Mother successfully misunderstood that Helan Ruizhe did not have anyone he liked for the time being, and that her favorite Yu Qinglan had the opportunity to become the Crown Princess.
For this reason, she deliberately ate an extra bowl of rice in the evening.
Jin Suting was also in a good mood. After returning to Suxuan Courtyard and taking a quick look, she started to have dinner.
Tan'er, Xiao Hei and the other two sat around on the stone bench in the yard, six eyes staring at the plate of dry steamed buns on the table.
Jin Suting closed her eyes, leaned forward, and asked Tan'er, "Why is our dinner so small?"
Tan Er also closed her eyes and asked Xiao Hei, "Miss, why is our dinner so small?"
Xiao Hei didn't react. He glanced at the steamed bun and said, "Lv Xiaoxiao didn't give it to me. Those snobs in the kitchen said they only had this dry steamed bun and all the others were eaten. They also said that if I want to eat something good, I should let the young lady buy it herself."
Tan Er slammed the table: "Is this too much?!"
Jin Suting said, "Then let's go to a restaurant. I heard Zuixianlou has some new dishes!"
Tan Er calmed down the excited Jin Suting and said, "Our monthly allowance and the valuables in the young lady's room were all stolen by Lu's people just now."
Jin Suting held her forehead with her hand. It was over. She glanced at the steamed buns on the plate on the table and said, "Xiao Hei, why don't you take more?"
The three of them looked at the two medium-sized steamed buns on the table and fell into deep thought.
"Gurgle gurgle"
Xiao Hei's stomach growled uncontrollably, and Jin Suting said, "Xiao Hei is still growing. You eat one steamed bun, and Qin Er and I will each have half."
As he said that, he picked up a steamed bun and planned to break it in half.
Holding the steamed bun in your hand feels just like touching a stone.
The first attempt to break it open failed; the second attempt to break it open failed again; the third time Jin Suting pressed the steamed bun on the stone table, broke it open, and the attempt succeeded.
"Xiao Hei, are you sure this is a steamed bun, not a piece of wood?"
Jin Suting bit the steamed bun and her teeth hurt.
Xiao Hei was able to eat it, but Qin Er couldn't even bite it. She asked, "Xiao Hei, why can you eat it?"
Xiao Hei laughed, "I've eaten tree bark before when I was extremely hungry. Although this thing is a bit hard, it's better than tree bark."
Jin Suting's eyes welled up with tears when she heard this. "I'm sorry, Xiaohei, I made you suffer."
Xiao Hei took a bite of the steamed bun and said with a smile: "Sister, don't say that. You are like my family. Whether I am with you, whether I suffer hardships or enjoy happiness, Xiao Hei feels the same!"
"Xiao Hei..." Jin Suting looked at the child in front of her whose smile was so heartbreaking, and suddenly hated her own powerlessness.
They treat themselves as ladies and as someone they can rely on, but she still has to rely on others.
Tan Er said, "Miss, what should we do for breakfast tomorrow?"
This topic seemed to be changed at the wrong time. Jin Suting took off a hairpin from her head. It was jade-colored and she bought it for fifty taels of silver when she went shopping.
"Let's go to the pawnshop tomorrow."
As I was talking, I took a bite of the steamed bun and tears were about to fall. Life like this is really hard.
"But this is the young lady's favorite hairpin!" Qin'er was obviously reluctant to part with it.
Jin Suting rubbed her hair and tried to smile, making herself look more sunny and warm.
"..." She hesitated, "But our lives are already so hard, I can't let you starve with me."
"Don't worry, we'll be fine once we get through this period."
"Daddy will definitely get better, and we will definitely return to the old days, happy and cheerful."
"Then I wouldn't be angry with my dad anymore. I felt he was the best person in the world to me, but I didn't know how to cherish him."
"And Tan'er and Xiao Hei, you are also the best people in world history!"
"How about we start a small business tomorrow after we pawn the hairpin?"
