Leng Yu saw that the two children were addicted to the verbal quarrel and had no intention of stopping, so he hurriedly stopped him with words.
"An'an, Lele, apologize to my fifth uncle. How can you talk to adults like this? It's really rude. Without a teacher to teach you recently, you have become more and more indulgent."
Seeing Leng Yu teaching the child, Luo Xue was unhappy for a moment, and she answered:
"Why are you apologizing? We all heard it clearly. It was Prince Xi himself who said that he was blind and hit a pig. There are obviously no pigs in Prince Yu's palace. Isn't he spreading rumors to cause trouble and deliberately lying?"
Luo Xue knew that Leng Xi was actually scolding her in a roundabout way, but he couldn't scold her directly, so he compared himself to a pig. If she didn't speak up, it would really be unjustifiable.
Luo Lan also knew the reason best. She was afraid that Luo Xue and Leng Xi would quarrel again, so she hurriedly stopped her and said:
"Okay, today is Huaiyu's birthday. Why do you all have to quarrel here? Let's eat."
As she spoke, she picked up a piece of ribs and put it in the Huaiyu bowl, and said kindly:
"Huaiyu, eat more meat. From today on, you will be nine years old. You have to act like a man."
At this time, An An seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly covered her mouth and laughed:
"Hahaha... Look, my fifth uncle's eyes are so special!"
Hearing An An's voice, everyone looked at Leng Xi together and saw that his left eye was purple and red, which did look a bit weird.
Seeing this scene, in addition to Xiaobao, the other three children also snickered together.
"Snapped!"
Leng Xi was so angry that his face and neck turned red, and his face became even more frighteningly gloomy. He directly picked up the tea cup at hand and dropped it heavily, hoping to scare the children who were laughing at him.
Leng Yu saw that Leng Xi was a little angry, so he hurriedly said something and shouted,
"Don't laugh."
Seeing that Leng Yu was angry, the four children all shut their mouths. Leng Yu continued to scold:
"It's getting more and more rude. Your fifth uncle has become like this, how can you still laugh? You should sympathize with him."
After saying this, he looked at Leng Xi with confusion and asked with concern:
"Fifth brother, why do your eyes look like this? If your eyes are really bad, ask your fourth sister-in-law to prescribe some medicine for you later. Don't hold on..."
As soon as he said these words, Leng Xi's face became even darker, while Luo Xue couldn't help but smile:
"Brother-in-law, it's not that Lord Xi's eyesight is bad. This is my fault. It's because my hands are not very good."
Speaking of this, she looked at Leng Xi, held back her smile and apologized:
"Prince Xi, I'm sorry, haha... next time... hahaha... don't talk too much, and I promise you won't get slippery."
"you……"
Leng Xi had never felt so deflated before, and he still had a lot to say. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became.
"Snapped!"
He simply threw his chopsticks and said angrily to Qiaoqiao:
"When you're full, go back home."
Yu Qiaoqiao obviously hadn't moved her chopsticks, and Xiaobao hadn't moved either. But seeing Leng Xi's ugly face, she didn't dare to say anything more. She hurriedly took Xiaobao's hand and said to Luo Lan apologetically:
"Fourth sister-in-law, we have eaten enough and are going back first. We will come see you and the children when we have time."
"But... you haven't eaten yet."
Luo Lan tried to keep them, but seeing that Leng Xi had already walked away, he could only sigh helplessly, then took two eggs from the plate and stuffed them into Xiao Bao's hands.
"This is the egg that brother Huaiyu ate for his birthday. It's auspicious. Take it to eat on the road."
After Yu Qiaoqiao nodded to her, he took Xiaobao's hand and followed quickly in the direction Leng Xi left.
Leng Xi left, Leng Ming looked at Luo Xue with some embarrassment, and asked unclearly:
"What...what happened? How did you make Fifth Brother's eyes look like that?"
Luo Xue, however, replied nonchalantly while eating the food on the plate:
"You will be found wherever I eat."
"snort!"
Liu Dechang, who had always had a dark face, suddenly threw his chopsticks, which scared Luo Xue. Luo Lan looked at him without knowing why. Xiaoling sat next to him and asked cautiously:
"What are you doing? It's my child's birthday today. It's a big day, so don't get in trouble here."
Hearing what Xiaoling said, Liu Dechang looked at the children and asked coldly:
"Are you all full?"
A few children dared to speak again and nodded one after another. Liu Dechang waved to them and said:
"Eat up and go out to play. The adults have something to say."
Upon seeing this, Huaiyu was the first to stand up from the chair, and the other three children also stood up and followed him outside.
Seeing that the children had left, Liu Dechang suddenly drank loudly again,
"Everyone get down."
Upon seeing this, Ah Gang waved his hand to signal all the servants to get down.
Liu Dechang's behavior made Luo Lan confused. She looked at Leng Yu, who also expressed confusion and shook his head slightly.
No one knew what happened. Only Luo Xue felt a little uneasy. She seemed to expect that her father's anger must be related to her.
Sure enough, Liu Dechang turned his eyes to Luo Xue, then raised his voice and said angrily:
"How long are you going to keep fooling around?"
Luo Xue replied reluctantly:
"Where did I mess up?"
Liu Dechang breathed heavily and continued to question, with veins popping on his face.
"Why did you go to the emperor to ask for an order to let Leng Ming guard the city gate? Do you know how many rumors your actions have left among the people? You, Liu Luoxue, are not afraid of other people's jokes, but I, Liu Dechang, am still afraid. Now that I have been tricked by you Well, there’s no room for my old face.”
Seeing that her father was indeed angry because of this incident, Luo Xue replied without caring:
"I don't feel embarrassed at all. How can you be ashamed of your people? What's wrong with me letting Leng Ming guard the city gate? I'm happy and so is he. What's wrong with others? Others can say whatever they like. Don't listen to the house bird Hey, farmers aren’t planting crops anymore?”
"presumptuous!"
Liu Dechang slammed the table hard and shouted angrily, "You are getting more and more outrageous. Do you still see your father in your eyes?"
When Xiaoling saw this, she quickly comforted her and said softly:
"Dechang, don't scare the children like this."
"How dare I scare them? It's obvious that they scared me. I've been on the streets these days, and people are talking about it. Everyone says that my daughter, Liu Dechang, is a dominatrix, and she actually asked Prince Ming to go there. Guard the city gate, otherwise she won’t give food to others. She is the Prince Ming of Daning who sincerely wants to starve to death. They also said... and said that I didn’t educate her well..."
Speaking of this, Liu Dechang suddenly choked up. He lifted up his sleeves and wiped the corners of his eyes, nodded, and continued:
"I really didn't educate you well. You grew up in the Chu Kingdom, and you don't understand some of the human affairs in the Daning Kingdom. You don't know that other people's spit can drown people. If you ask Leng Ming to guard the city gate, you can't You know, this has caused Leng Ming's status in the hearts of the people to plummet, and even...some people even went to the city gate to see him, looking at him like a monkey, don't you think this is too embarrassing for him?"
