Lu Huan’s situation in Ning Wang’s Mansion had always been difficult since he was a child.
If it was just because of him being an illegitimate son, he probably wouldn’t be bullied like this. Most of the mansions of high-ranking officials in the capital had several concubines and illegitimate sons, but those people could at least have enough food and clothing, and they won’t be targeted like him.
When he was five years old, he learned from his servants that Ning Wang treated him harshly, not allowing him to leave the mansion easily, and allowing his wife and two legitimate sons to treat him badly, it was because there were other reasons behind this.
He heard that his birth date and horoscope conflicted with that of the current emperor.
Lu Huan had never seen his mother and was not clear about his own life experience, and naturally did not know when he was born. He never expected that because his birth date and time hit the taboo of the current emperor and disrupted Ning Wang’s official career, he was abandoned in the cold and damp woodshed in the Ning Prince’s mansion with high walls and spent fourteen years here.
Lu Wenxiu was just a brainless fool and was not to be feared. What he was really wary of was the smiling wife of Ning Wang, who hid a dagger hidden behind her smile.
The kitchen at the back was full of Ning Wang’s wife’s minions, who had deliberately treated him with leftovers over the years, and during festivals they would reduce his servings in a mocking manner, deliberately starving him.
But the food delivered today suddenly changed and turned into normal hot dishes and meals!
In Lu Huan’s eyes, there must be something wrong when things were abnormal.
Su Xi lay on the bed, her chin on her hand, staring at the screen, waiting for the little character in the game to see the steaming and delicious braised pork with preserved vegetables and start to eat it happily.
Even she was almost drooling over the braised pork with preserved vegetables, so why was the little character in the game still standing there, staring with a frown?
And his face was even getting colder and colder?
What are you thinking about? Pick up your chopsticks!
Su Xi was just about to poke him to tell him to eat faster when he saw the little man in the game pull something out of his stick-drawn sleeve and hold it between his fingers. His soft, chewy face looked unusually serious.
Su Xi:?
No, why would you take out a needle if you are not going to eat?
The character in this game really doesn’t play by the rules.
The next second, the little character in the game leaned over slightly, inserted the silver needle into the food box, and stabbed it into the braised pork with preserved vegetables.
Then picked it up, rinsed it twice with clean water, and watched the color of the silver needle change.
As if he was surprised to see that the color of the silver needle did not turn black, his brows twisted into a shape of a “川” (river) in surprise.
Then, he carefully inserted the silver needle into the rice and observed the silver needle.
But it still didn’t turn black, and he became even more puzzled.
However, the little man in the game still did not let his guard down. He repeatedly inserted silver needles into the food box, being extremely cautious and vigilant.
Su Xi opened his mouth, completely confused.
What’s wrong with you, baby? Do you think the food is poisonous?
No way, he was so cautious? Is this game too real?
You mentioned other games, like Traveling Frog, where you spend money to buy delicious food and drinks for the frogs in the game, wouldn’t they all happily rush over to eat a big meal? Why is it that in this game, it’s so –
Su Xi was a little confused by the reaction of the little character in the game.
Just when she thought that the game programming was just too rigorous and that he would start eating after the little character in the game tested it with a silver needle to find out that it was not poisonous.
But the little man in the game suddenly picked up the food box with a cold face and walked towards the stable outside the wooden gate, looking like he wanted to find a secluded place to dump it.
Su Xi: ???
She was struck by lightning.
I finally got it, and you just want to pour it out?
Lu Huan was indeed a little surprised that there was no poison or laxative in the food, but the sudden delivery of such a steaming hot meal from the kitchen must have something unusual.
It must be that woman or Lu Wenxiu who had some other intentions.
He would rather go hungry than eat such a meal.
He walked to the door carrying the food box and was about to open the wooden door.
Upon seeing this, Su Xi quickly pressed her finger on the simple drawing of a wooden door on the screen and said, “Son, it’s shameful to waste food.”
The wooden door made a creaking sound as if the force was unevenly applied. The door frame seemed to be inexplicably stuck in the crack of the wall, and Lu Huan was unable to pull it open at once.
There was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Did the wind embed the door into the wall?
Lu Huan stood firm, grabbed the door frame, and exerted force suddenly. It was clear that he had not fully recovered from the typhoid fever, but his force was so strong that Su Xi outside the screen could not hold him down!
The wooden door was almost broken by the two of them from the inside and the outside!
Su Xi had no choice but to move her fingers away, and Lu Huan then opened the door and walked in with the food box.
He did not forget to look back at the door in confusion, but this wooden door had been in disrepair for a long time, so it was not surprising that it looked a little unusual.
“…”
So, Su Xi watched Lu Huan carry the food box, walk to the stable, and dig a hole with a shovel.
She was just worrying about the fact that her character in the game was too vigilant. How could she feed him if he didn’t eat or drink? Then she heard some messy and fierce footsteps in the distance, mixed with the voice shouting “Find the thief for me”.
She heard it, and Lu Huan naturally heard it too.
His expression changed, as if he suddenly realized something. A hint of gloom flashed across his dark eyes, and his hands moved even faster.
But before he could pour the food from the lunch box in, those people rushed in aggressively.
Before those people rushed in, he only had time to quickly cover the food box and throw it in the corner of the stable. He turned around with a cold face and looked at them.
Lu Wenxiu was standing at the front with a proud look on his face, followed by Lu Jia and Lu Yi, the kitchen manager and a large group of people.
The screen suddenly became lively with a crowd of people gathered around it.
