Taifu Mansion Dining Hall

"Daddy!"

Su Yuejian saw Su Lin coming back from court and smiled sweetly at him.

When Su Lin heard her precious daughter's cry, she immediately put on a loving smile and said, "Hey!"

"Why, Xiaoyue, you only see your uncle and can't see us?"

Su Yuejian was stunned for a moment, and when she looked out, she saw Lu Zhenting and Lu Zhan walking in together.

There was a flash of surprise in his eyes, and his eyebrows curved.

"Grandfather! Third brother!"

The two men walked in with smiles on their faces, and when they saw a certain prince sitting quietly in the hall, the smiles on their faces froze.

Su Lin's mouth twitched. Xiao Heng will come to the Taifu Mansion in the next few days.

Now he finally understood why Lu Zhenting always had a bad face when he saw him.

So this is what it feels like to face a pig trying to dig up your cabbage every day!

Su Lin and the others bowed and saluted, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

Su Yuejian glanced at Xiao Heng, and Xiao Heng stood up and nodded slightly.

"My family, no need to be polite."

The three of them looked shocked.

Lu Zhan, a family member?

Lu Zhenting, who dares to call him family?

Su Lin, why didn't I see him being so polite a few days ago?

Xiao Heng looked at Su Yuejian, his cold brows softened and Su Yuejian nodded in satisfaction.

"Grandfather, Father, Third Brother, please sit down quickly. The food is getting cold."

The three of them felt their scalps tingling when they saw the smile on Xiao Heng's face.

This regent can even laugh...

Only Su Yuejian didn't find it strange at all and ate with gusto.

At the dinner table, Lu Zhan was about to raise his hand to pick up a piece of shrimp when suddenly a pair of slender jade-like hands appeared in front of him. He looked up and met Xiao Heng's cold eyes, and was slightly startled.

"Your Majesty, please."

Lu Zhan forced an awkward smile.

Lu Zhan's face darkened as he watched the whole plate of lobsters poured into Xiao Heng's bowl.

Seeing that he was not about to stop, Lu Zhan was quick to grab the last piece of shrimp.

Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows, Lu Zhan chuckled twice, and decisively put the shrimp into his bowl.

Lu Zhenting and Su Lin looked at each other and shook their heads.

What a jerk this prince is! Lobster is Yue'er's favorite, but he wants to eat it all by himself.

Lu Zhan looked at the shrimp he had snatched with great effort, pursed his lips, peeled it carefully, and raised his hand to put it into Su Yuejian's bowl.

Just as he raised his head, he saw the bowl in front of Su Yuejian full of shrimps, and then he looked at Xiao Heng who was peeling shrimps slowly beside him.

All three of them were stunned.

This, this, this...

Su Yue saw them staring at Xiao Heng blankly, and also looked at him curiously.

Xiao Heng paused and raised his eyelids slightly. Su Lin and the other two immediately buried their heads in their meal.

Su Yue was confused and turned to look at Xiao Heng.

"Don't peel it, you'll get tired of it if you eat too much."

Xiao Heng responded and then stopped. He slowly wiped his hands with a wet towel, then picked up a bowl of fish soup and placed it in front of her.

"This is the new dish made by the chef in your house. Try it and see if you like it."

Su Yuejian took the fish soup and took a sip. Her eyes lit up and she nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"It's delicious! Where did you find the chef? He's really good at cooking!"

Xiao Heng smiled gently. Seeing that she drank the fish soup in just a few gulps and was about to get more, he immediately took the fish soup from her hand.

"You are not allowed to drink soup without rice."

Su Yuejian curled her lips, then picked up the rice and ate it slowly.

Xiao Heng saw her puffed up little face moving with anger, and her eyebrows slightly curved.

Lu Zhan was completely dumbfounded by Lu Zhenting and Su Lin on the opposite side.

Su Lin hadn't eaten at home a few days ago, and she had no idea that Xiao Heng and Su Yuejian were getting along like this...

How can this be a regent second only to the emperor? He is not angry at all while doing the work of a servant and even enjoys it!

This attentive and waiter-like posture...

It has nothing to do with that ruthless god of war!!

Su Lin choked.

"belch...."

Xiao Heng turned to look at the three of them and slowed down his tone, "There's still plenty of fish soup. Grand Tutor, Duke, and Minister Lu, you're welcome."

The three of them were stunned for a few seconds.

"belch..."

Su Lin choked again, then came back to his senses, "Okay... okay... thank you, Your Highness."

Lu Zhenting looked at Su Lin with a puzzled look, and Su Lin shook his head slightly.

Lu Zhan pursed his lips, put the shrimp into his mouth and chewed it with big mouthfuls.

Actually, looking at it this way...Xiao Heng seems to be quite nice to Yue'er.

After the meal, several people completely changed their views on Xiao Heng. Before, they thought that Xiao Heng brought Su Yuejian to the Regent's Palace to take care of him when he was sick, but now they would never believe it even if they were beaten to death.

They thought that if Xiao Heng hadn't been concerned about the presence of several people, he would have fed them himself.

After finishing their meal, Xiao Heng and Su Lin received an urgent summons from the palace and entered the palace together.

Su Yuejian took Lu Zhenting and Lu Zhan to visit Old Madam Su, and then returned to Wutongju.

Lu Zhenting and Lu Zhan looked straight at Su Yuejian.

"What's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that..."

Lu Zhan was puzzled, "Have you and the prince always been like this?"

Su Yuejian was also puzzled, "What?"

Thinking of Xiao Heng's behavior at the dinner table, she smiled.

"Didn't I tell you that the prince treats me very well? You always don't believe me."

The two looked at each other and then felt relieved.

Lu Zhenting laughed and said, "Okay, okay, as long as you don't feel wronged."

Su Yuejian nodded slightly, feeling deeply moved. Then she thought of something and restrained her smile.

"Grandfather, did she admit it?"

Upon hearing this, the smiles on Lu Zhenting and Lu Zhan's faces gradually disappeared, and their eyes were filled with coldness.

Lu Zhan shook his head. "She has survived many of your poisons and has yet to speak."

Lu Zhenting said in a heavy tone, "I never thought that she would be so strong-willed at such a young age."

Su Yuejian frowned, "Grandfather, her age... is at least thirty years old."

"what?!"

Lu Zhan and Lu Zhenting were shocked.

"Thirty? But she...she looks only..."

Su Yuejian lowered her eyelashes and chuckled, "You look only 26 years old, right?"

Lu Zhenting nodded blankly.

Lu Zhan was puzzled, "Yue'er, how did you know?"

Su Yuejian looked cold and indifferent. "I happened to hold her hand and accidentally felt her pulse. That was when I noticed something was wrong."

"Judging from her pulse, she should be in her thirties or forties now."

"Ancient medical texts record a rare condition called the "Infant Scholar Syndrome." This condition is often present in the womb. Those afflicted with it will not grow normally and will be born with a childlike face."

"Just like her name, Ying'er, no matter how old she is, her face will always be as innocent as a baby, leaving people completely defenseless."

Lu Zhenting and Lu Zhan both had frosty expressions.

No wonder she could withstand so much poison and torture, it turns out she wasn't a child at all! She was a perverted old woman!

Su Yuejian restrained her expression and said, "Grandfather, Third Brother, perhaps she has been in the mansion since my mother was still alive."

Hearing this, Lu Zhan's eyes trembled, "What do you mean..."

"You mean..."
