The butler changed the subject and said to Ning Fengnian, “Your child is well-raised. They’re full of energy, unlike my Young Master. He’s usually flustered and short of breath when he moves slightly. He doesn’t like to move either. The doctor wanted him to bask in the sun and move around more, but Young Master refused. Master and Madam can’t persuade Young Master either.”

He smiled sincerely. “But he looks much more energetic than usual after running and picking vegetables today.”

Xiaoxiao thought, “He was just rich and lazy.” She put down the ladle and carried the seasoned sauce and fries that were no longer hot. “Come, everyone, don’t just wait. Have some fries first. Second Brother, why don’t you bring Young Master Shen to the camphor tree in the village to pick some sprouts after you’re done eating? I can stir-fry them with the eggs later. They smell so good.”

Ning Erlang had eaten it before. He could even introduce them to Shen Tianci. “It smells good!”

Shen Tianci was curious while eating at the same time. Indeed, no child could reject freshly fried fries. Xiaoxiao successfully fed them and sent them away with a sense of accomplishment.

Rong Yan looked outside the door, and Yun Yi went up to report his work. “County Magistrate Shen was newly appointed this year and hasn’t taken sides yet. His wife’s surname is Li, and she comes from the richest family in Jiangnan.”

The topics were all rather serious, but the wind was filled with the fragrance of food. Yun Yi had to use all his self-control to not swallow his saliva halfway through his sentence. They were all tortured.

Rong Yan nodded. The emperor ordered him to patrol Jiangnan, and he was strictly ordered to keep his whereabouts a secret. But why was he assassinated before he reached his destination? He was in danger several times, so he had no choice but to hide in this small village.

The emperor was far away. He could not easily expose his identity when he did not know who his enemy was. After all, it concerned his life and family. Who knew if those officials would be bold enough to do something extraordinary?

The royal family’s matter was nothing more than a fight for it.

He was not liked since birth and did not intend to fight for the throne. He only wanted to be idle, but someone saw him as a thorn in his side and planned to get rid of him.

Rong Yan pinched the bridge of his nose. Forget it. He just had to avoid those petty matters. As usual, he didn’t fight or snatch. The only thing he should do now was to find the traitor and return to Jingcheng city safely.

He had to go back quickly. Perhaps he could even go back in time for her mom’s birthday.

However, he could not be too fast because his mother might… not need his blessings.

The Emperor had assigned him to patrol Jiangnan. He was supposed to stay here for a few months, so he coincidentally missed preparing for his mother’s birthday banquet.

When his thoughts were in a mess, Rong Yan suddenly saw a figure striding towards the Ning residence.

At that moment, Xiaoxiao had just walked into the vegetable field to look for tender cucumber flowers. These little cucumbers that had just appeared and were as long as her one finger were delicious. They would be crunchy if they were casually stir-fried. However, Madam Song would not let her do so usually. It seemed like she had benefited from the little fatty.

Because she was too focused on the dishes she would cook later, she did not notice someone approaching her from behind. When she saw the shadow, she turned around and saw Second Aunt Ning’s ugly face.

“You said 1 forced you to snatch food from the wild pigs but do bamboo shoots business in the county and earned a lot of money. You lived a good life secretly!”

“D*mn, you made me laugh at those gossipy old women in the village!”

Second Aunt Ning was angry. She thought their family had a poor life, and she feared being criticized for something worthless again. She was really honest for a while. Ultimately, she heard their family had long made a fortune in the county today. She, who thought she was smart, was kept in the dark.

Xiaoxiao took a step back, and her words were very hurtful.. “Second Aunt, are you jealous?”
