He looked at Helan Ruizhe and Jin Suting inquiringly, but they did not object or make any other comments.
Although Jin Suting didn't want to face it, she had to let go of her prejudice. After all, the people in front of her were her mother and sister who had risked her life together with her.
But Jin Xiyan is being too naughty. Why does she keep picking up food for Helan Ruizhe at the dinner table?
"Brother Rui, do you want to eat this?"
"This is delicious too, eat more."
"Ah, these spareribs are delicious. Brother Rui, have a piece too."
…
Words like these made Jin Suting's ears sore.
At the big round table, the old general was sitting with Lu Xiaoxiao and Jin Suting on his left and right. Next to Jin Suting was Helan Ruizhe. She accidentally let Jin Xiyan sit next to Helan Ruizhe.
It’s really a headache.
But who is Jin Suting? She returned all the ribs and pig's trotters that Jin Xiyan had picked up to the people who gave them to her.
"My fiancé doesn't like meat. If you think it tastes good, you can eat it yourself!"
Jin Xiyan felt very awkward with her chopsticks suspended in mid-air, not knowing whether to put them down or continue picking up the food.
Finally, the old general came to the rescue: "Alright, alright, eat your own food. Pick up the food you like and don't pick it up for others."
"Ah, keep eating, eat!"
Jin Xiyan felt very uncomfortable after hearing this, and ate the mountain of food in the bowl bite by bite without making any sound.
Jin Suting thought she would just stop there, but who knew that Jin Xiyan started to act up again after a while when the old general and Helan Ruizhe were talking about what dishes to cook.
All the skills Helan Ruizhe could do were taught by Jin Suting. Before she could say anything, Jin Xiyan said, "Wow! Brother Rui, you are so amazing!"
"How do you make red bean and barley porridge? Will it taste good?"
"I can't even do it, Brother Rui is awesome!"
Jin Suting's ears were completely sore now. She took two mouthfuls of rice and put down her chopsticks with a very loud sound. Jin Xiyan fell silent for a moment, and everyone at the table fell silent.
"I'm done eating, you guys take your time."
She got up and went out, and no one could stop her.
Helan Ruizhe also put down his chopsticks. He had tolerated Jin Xiyan for a long time. How could there be such a noisy woman in the world?
"Miss Jin San," Helan Ruizhe turned and said to her, "I think it would be better for you to address me as Your Highness the Crown Prince. There is a difference between the emperor and the people."
Then he said to the old general, "Father-in-law, I'm done eating. Please enjoy your meal."
The words "There is a difference between the king and the people" put a damper on Jin Xiyan's joyful smile, and the light in her expectant eyes was mostly extinguished. She angrily threw the bowl and ran away without saying a word.
Lu Xiaoxiao laughed awkwardly twice: "Master, let's continue eating."
Unexpectedly, the old general also put down his bowl and said, "I'm tired. You guys eat."
Only Jin Wade and Lu Xiaoxiao were left at the table, looking at each other. Jin Wade lowered his head and ate his rice. He was not full yet.

Suxuan Courtyard.
After Jin Suting came back from the old general in a bad mood, she sat in the yard and stared blankly at the moon in the sky.
The moon is beautiful, almost full, and there is not a single star around it. It must be very lonely, shining alone.
"Are you still angry?" Helan Ruizhe ran out from behind her, bent over, with his hands behind his back, looking at her with a flattering expression.
"I'm not angry." Jin Suting turned around, her back facing Helan Ruizhe, still looking up at the moon.
I'm not angry. Are you not angry at this point?
Helan Ruizhe has been with Jin Suting for a long time and has figured out her temper.
"Okay, I'm not angry, not angry." Helan Ruizhe sat down beside her and looked at the moon with her.
Jin Suting ran away capriciously, deliberately keeping a stool between them.
Still silent, staring at the moon.
She was indeed not angry with Helan Ruizhe, but she was so mad at Jin Xiyan that when Helan Ruizhe came to her, she didn't know what was wrong with her and just got angry.
Helan Ruizhe, like her, faced the moon, stretched out four fingers of his left hand, and swore devoutly to the moon: "I swear, Helan Ruizhe will keep a distance of seven feet from women other than Jin Suting from now on, otherwise I will be struck by lightning..."
"Shut up." Jin Suting turned to look at him, her eyes filled with anger or blame. "Who asked you to swear? Why did you swear that for no reason? Even if we have a daughter, will you keep your distance?"
Helan Ruizhe looked at her aggrievedly, pouting, not knowing what to say.
"I'm not mad at you," Jin Suting stopped looking at the moon and lowered her head to look at her feet. "I'm mad at myself. How could I have a sister like Jin Xiyan?"
"She's so annoying," Jin Suting said, feeling increasingly aggrieved. "Seeing her address you so affectionately and even calling you 'Brother Arui' makes me feel uncomfortable all over. It's really unbearable."
"I know this is not good, but I just can't stand it. I know I will be the Crown Princess in the future, and I must accept that you have three wives and four concubines. Although you promised, it is definitely impossible for you to have only me as your woman for your whole life. But, but seeing Jin Xiyan talking to you like that really makes me uncomfortable."
Jin Suting couldn't control her emotions. She had never been good at managing her facial expressions. Her emotions were written on her face. Even if she was hiding them, people who were trying to hide them could see it at a glance.
"I don't like myself like this. I'm not sensible at all. It's my fault for being jealous. I'm sorry. I won't do this again. I'm just afraid that you don't like me..."
Helan Ruizhe felt soft in his heart, and it was very painful to see her sobbing: "Silly girl."
