After being active all night, it was already late. Chu Jinzhou, who was still a child, quickly fell asleep on the bed from exhaustion.

Once Chu Jinzhou fell asleep, Ning Feng hurried to Chu Jinnian’s study room.

Chu Jinnian had not yet decided to rest, and after sipping tea from the cup next to him, he looked up at the arriving Ning Feng: “Has he fallen asleep?”

“He has fallen asleep,” Ning Feng answered honestly. “Before falling asleep, he reminded me to urge you not to get angry about this.”

“Is it that he doesn’t want me to be angry with him or with Mr. Fan?” Chu Jinnian said without even lifting his eyelids, slamming the teacup on the table.

With a “thud.”

This action clearly indicated the anger growing in Chu Jinnian’s heart, especially towards Fan Wenxuan.

Obviously, Chu Jinnian was extremely upset at Fan Wenxuan for involving Chu Jinzhou in such a dangerous action.

“Master Chu,” Ning Feng broke out in a cold sweat, lowering his head and saying, “This is my oversight. I failed to keep a close eye on everything, and therefore…”

“Mr. Fan seems reckless in his actions, but he is meticulous in many ways. He must have been quietly staying in the garden during this period, making you think he had adapted to your nagging restrictions, causing you to lower your guard,” said Chu Jinnian, raising his hand. “I’m well aware of Mr. Fan’s nature, so this matter cannot be entirely blamed on you.”

“Yes.” Upon hearing Chu Jinnian not entirely blaming him, Ning Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

“You may leave now,” Chu Jinnian raised his hand.

“Yes, Master Chu.” Ning Feng answered, but he was still quite uncertain.

“Master Chu, have you eaten dinner? Would you like me to arrange a late-night snack from the kitchen?”

He had traveled all night without any pause, originally planning to have dinner at Qingzhuyuan. But after facing such circumstances, he had completely forgotten about it.

Only upon mentioning this late-night snack did Chu Jinnian suddenly realize how empty his stomach felt.

“I am somewhat hungry, so…”

Chu Jinnian paused before speaking, “The last time I came back, the tofu soup made by the kitchen tasted good. Let’s have a bowl of tofu soup.”

“Yes.” Ning Feng agreed and hurriedly went to the kitchen to make arrangements.

Apart from the tofu soup requested by Chu Jinnian, the kitchen also prepared four other carefully cooked dishes, including scallion pancakes, which were brought to Chu Jinnian’s room.

The round tofu balls, fried to a reddish-brown, served with fresh tofu slices and vegetables in a spicy soup, were mouthwatering just at a glance or a smell.

Chu Jinnian didn’t immediately eat the pancakes nor look at the other delicious dishes. He first picked up the soup bowl in front of him and had a spoonful of the tofu ball soup.

After swallowing the soup, Chu Jinnian put his spoon back into the bowl and slightly shook his head, “When did the kitchen replace the cook?”

“The cook has not been replaced,” Ning Feng replied.

“But this soup tastes different than before,” said Chu Jinnian with a frown. “It doesn’t taste the same as the soup Jinzhou and I had last time.”

Though today’s soup wasn’t bad, compared to the one he had last time, it could only be described as bad.
