Chapter 471: Killing the chicken to scare the monkey (5)
"Tell the kitchen to prepare some food, and try to make it light!"
"Okay, miss!" Xiao Xia said in a low voice.
Then he instructed the siblings, "Go take a shower first! Second uncle should be back soon."
This time, Chen Wanruo called him second uncle instead of his name directly.
Of course, the brother and sister did not hear what Chen Wanruo said at this time.
Their attention was all on what Chen Wanruo had just told Xiao Xia.
My eldest sister said to make it lighter, does that mean it’s the food we give them?
By this calculation, they haven't had a full meal for a long time.
The last time I had a full meal was when I was just kicked out of the Chen Mansion.
Come to think of it, it’s been a year.
"What? You're not going yet? Or do you not even know where your bedroom is?"
Seeing that the brother and sister were standing there in a daze, Chen Wanruo couldn't help but speak again.
Chen Wanruo naturally knew what they were thinking.
Even she herself didn't expect that she would forgive them so easily.
The kitchen staff worked quickly and soon brought up the food that Chen Wanruo had requested.
At this time, the brother and sister had already finished bathing.
After putting on new clothes, I feel refreshed.
Originally, both of them were paying attention to their clothes. They hadn't changed their clothes for a long time.
Not to mention wearing new clothes.
The cheapest set of clothes cost dozens of copper coins, and they couldn't even fill their stomachs.
How can I buy new clothes?
Compared to new clothes, staying alive is the most important thing!
So, don’t say the clothes are torn, as long as they are wearable, they will continue to wear them.
But now, when they saw the food on the table, the brother and sister swallowed subconsciously.
My stomach started to growl immediately.
Even they themselves felt embarrassed when they heard it.
Seeing this, Chen Wanruo did not make fun of them, but nodded lightly towards the opposite side.
Then he said, "If you are hungry, sit across from me and have your meal!"
"Well! Thank you, big sister!" the brother and sister said in unison.
Although there was no delicious food on the table, they were already very happy as it could fill their stomachs.
What's more, there are several types of dishes here.
After spending time with Chen Wanruo just now, the brother and sister were no longer as nervous as they were at the beginning.
Now I feel a lot more relaxed.
Looking at the brother and sister wolfing down their food, Chen Wanruo herself felt hungry.
Not to mention them, even I haven't had a proper meal for a long time.
I have to say, when I’m in a good mood, everything I eat tastes delicious.
When the three of them put down their bowls and chopsticks, they realized that all the food on the table had been eaten.
Chen Wanruo was fine and looked calm.
But it was different for brother and sister Chen Baoyu and Chen Baoyong. They both looked at Chen Wanruo with embarrassment.
For a moment, both of them were at a loss.
Fortunately, soon after, Butler Li came towards the main courtyard and said, "Miss, the second master is in the courtyard."
"Well, bring him in!" Chen Wanruo said lightly.
Speaking of Chen Hongan, he also loved me when I was a child.
But since when, his attitude towards them, as if he had completely changed, seemed to have become a different person.
Thinking about it now, it seems that he started to change slowly after his parents passed away.
He is not actually a bad person, he just married a wicked woman.
When Chen Baoyu and Chen Baoyong heard that Chen Hongan had returned, they subconsciously looked at Chen Wanruo.
That look clearly seemed to be a plea: Could you please not make things difficult for him?
Chen Wanruo didn't look at the brother and sister, just stared straight at the door.
After a while, Chen Hongan walked in cautiously.
But when he saw Chen Wanruo sitting in the main seat, he was still a little nervous.
Although he is her second uncle, but now thinking about her status, it would be a lie to say that she is not worried.
Thinking of this, Chen Hongan decided to salute Chen Wanruo without thinking.
"Commoner Chen Hongan greets His Majesty!"
"Get up!" Chen Wanruo said lightly.
She wanted to see whether Chen Hongan was truly repentant.
But looking at his expression now, he seems to be sincere.
After hearing Chen Wanruo's words, Chen Hongan did not get up immediately, but looked up at Chen Wanruo.
He wanted to see if she showed any signs of being angry. If so, he would consider whether or not to get up.
Should I continue to beg for mercy or something?
"Dad, your elder sister asked you to get up, so just get up!" Chen Baoyu, who was standing aside, couldn't help but speak when he saw Chen Hongan's look.
Hearing this familiar voice, Chen Hongan finally realized the existence of his two children.
"How come you are here?"
Chen Wanruo: “…” She wanted to say that the two of them had been here for a long time.
After asking this, Chen Hongan felt embarrassed himself.
Thinking of what Chen Baoyu had just said, he immediately frowned and reprimanded in a low voice:
"Nonsense, this is the emperor, can you call me sister?"
Chen Wanruo: “…” Isn’t this reaction a bit slow?
But she didn't say anything. She just slowly picked up the cup beside her and drank a sip of water.
"Dad, get up first!" Chen Baoyong said softly.
After hearing this, and having been kneeling for a while, Chen Wanruo didn't say anything.
Then he raised his head again and looked at Chen Wanruo cautiously.
Seeing that she seemed fine, he tried to stand up.
But when he stood up, his eyes never left Chen Wanruo.
Always pay attention to her expression, and if she seems unhappy, I will kneel down again as quickly as possible.
Although Chen Wanruo was drinking tea, her eyes were always on him.
Seeing him like this, I felt it was funny but not too much of a stir.
It was not until he got up that Chen Hongan discovered the difference between the siblings.
Not only did they put on new clothes, they also spoke more excitedly than usual.
Even he himself had forgotten how long it had been since he and his sister had laughed together.
Look at the dining table next to you, what else is there to not understand?
"Wanruo... No, Your Majesty, you..."
"Please sit down!" Chen Wanruo interrupted Chen Hongan directly.
"Yes!" After responding respectfully, he walked to the side and slowly sat down.
But even when he sat down, he sat very carefully.
Only one-third of my buttocks was touching the stool.
"Let me ask you, do you know about Ma Meizi's affairs?"
Seeing Chen Hongan sitting down, Chen Wanruo regained her usual demeanor and asked in a deep voice while looking at Chen Hongan.
She needed to confirm whether Chen Hongan knew about Ma Meizi's affairs.
