While drinking tea, He Ruhuan glanced somewhere. A certain young master who received her signal suddenly stood up. “Aunt Shen’s family is indeed full of talents. One meal is an eye-opener for us!”
Everyone rubbed their stomachs and echoed. They were not ignorant people, but the Shen Family’s meal still taught them a lesson.
The young master continued, “I’m not talented. I want to make a presumptuous request of you.”
Without waiting for Mrs. Shen to answer, he said, “My mother doesn’t usually have a good appetite, especially during the hot summer. It’s very difficult for her to eat anything. It wasn’t easy for my mother to raise me, and she’s suffered a lot for me all these years. I’ve been searching for a suitable chef for her, but I can’t find a suitable one for her, so I can’t sleep or eat in peace. Today, when I first tasted this chef’s cooking, I was shocked.”
He cupped his hands and said, “I wonder if Auntie is willing to part with this chef and give her to me?”
“I promise to treat this chef well. In order to thank her for her help, I’m even more interested in taking her as a concubine…”
Shen Tianci almost rushed out to beat him up. Fortunately, Mrs. Shen was quick enough to get someone to hold him back.
Across the door, Xiaoxiao looked at her brothers, who were also furious. She sighed and held their hands, shaking her head at them.
In the inner hall, Mrs. Shen looked at the young master who spoke. “You sound like you’ve studied?”
The young master immediately revealed a smug expression. “I’m not talented. I’ve been studying since I was five years old. It’s been 12 years. I’m preparing to apply for the Bowen Academy this year.”
Mrs. Shen nodded. Just as Shen Tianci was about to scold him, her aura suddenly changed. “You know how shameless you are. Since you’ve studied, you naturally know the principles of being a person. I’m curious. Which book and which sage told you that your mother needs someone else to be filial on your behalf?”
The young master was stunned. “B-but I will take her as my concubine…”
Mrs. Shen picked up her teacup and smiled. “Take a concubine?”
“You can’t even take care of your own mother. You haven’t even gotten into a Xiucai[i.A person who has passed the county level imperial exam.] title after studying for 12 years. You can’t lift with your shoulders, you don’t know how to do business, and you don’t have a legitimate career. How do you have the time to think about taking a concubine?”
“Moreover, I’m not afraid of everyone’s jokes. Today, our Shen Family is holding a banquet, but the chef injured his hand. It was Tianci and my friend who helped just now so that this banquet could be held.”
“This Little Master wants to take our friend as a concubine?”
She put down her teacup heavily. “You’re quite shameless.”
Shen Tianci finally seized the opportunity. He pointed at the young master and scolded, “Let me tell you, you’re not worthy! Not to mention taking a concubine, even if you marry her officially, no, ptui! You’re not even worthy of mentioning her name! If 1 hear you disrespect my friend again, I’ll beat you to death!”
The young master was embarrassed and his face was red. He looked around for help, but no one spoke up for him. Even He Ruhuan avoided his gaze and pretended not to know.
He flew into a rage out of humiliation and gritted his teeth. “Could this be how the Shen family treats their guests?”
Shen Tianci laughed. “Did I invite you?”
This person finally understood that he was asking for a rebuff. He covered his face in a panic and ran out. Just as he passed by the door frame, he suddenly tripped over something. When he looked up, he saw a beautiful little girl. He was stunned for a moment and saw two burly youths walking out from behind this young lady to cover her. The two of them were even glaring at him with unfriendly expressions.
“I heard that you want to take me as your concubine?”
The young lady’s delicate voice made the young master inexplicably expectant. However, in the next moment, she said, “My cutting skills are quite good. Do you want to try?”
The young master did not understand, so Xiaoxiao explained patiently, “I know how to cut off limbs and cut open stomachs. Moreover, my hands and feet are nimble. You might not even feel any pain..”
