Shui Xin'er looked towards Shui Qiannan with hatred in her eyes. It was all because of this slut, otherwise why would the Xia King speak to her in such a manner?

At this moment, the shopkeeper brought over a box of food. Shui Qiannan took it and handed it to the little boy.

”No, I'm just in a hurry to go back and see my mother.” The little boy said embarrassedly.

”Big Sis, you guys eat first. I'm going back home, I'll come find you guys later.” The little boy stood up and scratched his head. Seeing Shui Qiannan nod, the little boy carried his food and gave a silly smile to Shui Qiannan before running off.

”It can't be a scammer, right? Hearing that elder sister said she was going to see his mother's illness, he was scared away.” Shui Xin'er looked at the little boy, who seemed to have run away, and said with ridicule.

Shui Qiannan swept a cold glance over him. ”You think others will look the same whenever you have your own thoughts.” After saying that, Shui Qi and the others began to eat their dishes emotionlessly.

Hou Qingyu also looked at Shui Xin'er. She was very distant from her son. Shui Xin'er was shocked and thought to herself, ”This is bad!” It was with great difficulty that she managed to get the empress to set her sights on her. Hou Qingyu could not bear to see her in such a state. This way, Shui Xin'er did not dare to speak anymore.

Not long later, the little boy ran back and handed the empty food container to Shui Qiannan with a silly smile, ”My mother said that others must return their things.”

Shui Qiannan took the food box and opened the lid to see that the plates containing the pastries and vegetables had been washed clean. He could also see traces of water, probably because he was too anxious to clean them.

”What a good child.” Hou Qingyu had also noticed this and praised it.

The boy's originally dark face suddenly turned a suspicious red. He shyly said, ”My mother said that you all helped me out because of friendship. You can't take it for granted.”

Shui Qiannan inwardly praised this woman. To be able to bring up such an intelligent child, she must be extremely well-groomed. Shui Qiannan really wanted to see this person. She said to the little boy, ”Didn't you bring us to your house? I'll go see your mother. ”

”Little Right, let's go as well.” Little Right quickly said.

The little boy looked a little embarrassed as he said, ”My family is very dilapidated …”

”It doesn't matter.” Shui Qiannan lightly said.

The little boy seemed to be relieved. He smiled shyly and said, ”Alright, I'll lead the way.” After saying that, the little boy was about to walk downstairs. Shui Qiannan called over the shopkeeper to take away the food box and followed the little boy downstairs with Little Right in his arms.

When Shui Xin'er saw the poor little boy, she did not want to go. When she saw that Hou Qingyu did not think that Hou Qingyu was thinking the same way as her.

Hou Qingyu looked out of the window as Shui Qiannan's figure disappeared into the distance. He flicked his sleeves and was about to leave.

How could Shui Xin'er miss such a rare moment of time alone with Hou Qingyu? She followed and said, ”Your highness Xia King probably doesn't want to go to such a filthy place. Just by looking at that child's clothes, you can tell that his family must be terrible.”

Hou Qingyu cast a cold glance at Shui Xin'er. Shui Xin'er felt her hair stand on end, wondering how she had offended Hou Qingyu. Hou Qingyu did not say anything else and turned to leave. Just as Shui Xin Er was about to follow, she stopped the shopkeeper.

”Miss Shui's account is not settled yet.” The shopkeeper said smilingly. As long as Shui Xin'er paid the bill, he would get a lot of commission. 100,000 lapis lazuli was given to the boss, but he still had a commission.
