Chapter 341: Having a Meal Together (2) (1/2)

He Sanlang looked at the crude porcelain bowl in front of her. He took her bowl and put it in front of himself before replying in his usual magnetic tone, “I’ll eat these. Wait for Wenqing and Wenlan to make you something else.”

After saying so, He Changdi took up the bowl of charred mystery food and started gulping it down furiously.

Chu Lian saw that he had put the less perishable wheat pancakes and salted meat to one side and had only put the two bowls of mystery food in front of himself. She could guess at what he was intending to do. He Sanlang was going to finish the two bowls of charred stuff by himself in order not to waste food.

Her chest felt heavy for some reason and she started to feel pity for He Changdi.

Chu Lian suddenly called out and stopped the maidservants who were about to go out to look for a place to cook.

Wenqing and Wenlan looked at Chu Lian strangely, “Do you have any other orders, Third Young Madam?”

Chu Lian shook her head, “There’s no need to go to the trouble. I’ll eat these.”

It wasn’t as if she was a spoiled princess who couldn’t bear the slightest bit of suffering. Since thousands of men in the army were eating these every day and even He Changdi was eating this kind of food, then why couldn’t she do the same?

Wenqing and Wenlan’s eyes widened. They couldn’t believe that their Third Young Madam, who would rather starve than eat something terrible, would actually choose to eat such unappetising food. However, since their master had given the order, they couldn’t disobey her. They retreated outside the tent so as not to disturb the young couple.

He Changdi clearly hadn’t expected Chu Lian to actually eat this poor fare.

He remained stunned for a second before recovering his sense. Thinking that Chu Lian was only interested in the food because he was gulping it down quickly, he gave her a kind reminder, “Chu Lian, don’t look at how quickly I’m eating this. Actually, it doesn’t really taste that good. It’s like heaven and earth compared to your cooking.”

Chu Lian looked at him before pointing at the bowl he had taken from her, “Pass it to me.”
