I started out with seven husbands, and I worked hard to support my family while crying.

Ouyang Tuoba, who was engrossed in his meal, almost choked on his wife cake when he heard what Fang Xiaoxiao said.

"Cough cough!"

He Jinnian sat next to him and, seeing that he was choking, quickly handed him some drinks.

"Eat slowly, no one will compete with you."

Ouyang Tuoba took the wine and gulped it down his throat, which relieved him slightly.

"I... I just thought my wife's cooking was so delicious that I ate too fast and choked!"

"Haha, Brother Tuoba, why are you eating like Brother Jinyan? There's plenty of food, no need to worry about not having enough!"

Li Renyi found it hilarious.

In his eyes, Ouyang Tuoba had the air of a scholar and should be like Murong Changqing, a very cultured person. He shouldn't be fighting over a meal like that.

Ouyang Tuoba seemed a little embarrassed after hearing what he said.

In reality, he was wondering whether his identity had been exposed, otherwise why would Fang Xiaoxiao have said that on purpose!

Just as he was pondering this, He Jinnian patted his shoulder and said worriedly.

"Are you alright? Do you want to rest for a bit? Don't eat too fast, or you might choke."

He took care of the younger brother in front of him, who looked only eighteen years old, like an older brother.

In He Jinnian's eyes, Ouyang Tuoba, who was standing next to him, looked a lot like an old friend of his, except that the old friend was a woman from another ethnic group.

The two had grown up together as childhood sweethearts, but when he left the capital to investigate cases, he returned to find his old friend gone, and there was no news of him at all.

This filled him with deep regret. If he had been braver and defied public opinion to marry her, none of this would have happened.

Therefore, when he saw Ouyang Tuoba, who looked somewhat similar to his old friend, he took extra care of him.

Ouyang Tuoba felt uneasy under He Jinnian's strange gaze.

Could this guy have homosexual tendencies?

Thinking of this, his body trembled involuntarily, and he subconsciously kept a certain distance from it.

He Jinnian didn't know why he moved the chair, but he felt that the way he was looking at him was very strange and weird.

Fang Xiaoxiao noticed Pei Yan staring at her, so she stood up and explained.

"This is called a hamburger. It's a new dish that our Lingxi Pavilion will be launching soon. It's not only nutritionally balanced, but it's also very convenient to carry. A bite of hamburger and a sip of milk tea, it's simply heavenly."

"You country bumpkin, don't talk nonsense if you don't know anything. That lettuce paired with my special chicken patty is absolutely delicious!"

"!"

Pei Yan was speechless.

To prove whether what she said was true, I forced myself to endure my disgust for the lettuce and took another bite of the hamburger in my hand.

"!!"

This time, the taste was surprisingly good.

It completely overturned his understanding of traditional flatbread, and one could even say that this hamburger was the most delicious thing in the world.

However, as the crown prince, he would not easily reveal his true feelings.

Pei Yan took a bite, chewed for a moment, and said with a hint of disgust.

"I thought it was really as delicious as you said, but it's just average. You've really exaggerated!"

"!"

Normally, if you're so capable, then don't eat it!

Fang Xiaoxiao complained inwardly, but on the surface she still wore a smile and dared not say a word.

She really didn't want to provoke Pei Yan, that madman, because she felt that if she said something wrong, she didn't know what kind of trouble he would cause.

To save her life, Fang Xiaoxiao had no choice but to force a smile.

“Young Master Pei is right. If you don’t like it, then you don’t have to eat it. You can just throw it away.”

Her words were tactful and devoid of any ulterior motives.

Seeing this, Pei Yan felt caught in a dilemma. It would be bad to eat more, but he was also reluctant to give up this delicious food.

So he pretended to be disgusted, but also didn't want to waste food.

"This young master is magnanimous and doesn't hold grudges against petty people. Although this dish isn't particularly delicious, I'm not the kind of person who wastes food. Since I've already eaten it, I should finish it off!"

"..."

I feel like cursing.

Fang Xiaoxin had a thousand complaints in her heart, but she didn't dare to say them out loud, so she could only continue to smile apologetically.

"Young Master Pei is right."

After a struggle, Pei Yan finally fell silent.

But his next move left everyone present speechless.

Even Long Jinyan said with displeasure.

"Brother Pei Yan, since you don't like hamburgers, why don't you put them in front of you? It makes us all feel awkward taking one to try!"

His words resonated with the other six people, who all nodded in agreement.

Li Renyi was the first to act, getting up and taking all the hamburgers in front of Pei Yan.

“I think Brother Jinyan is right. Come, everyone, let’s try it and see how the hamburger invented by my wife tastes. Is it as bad as Brother Peiyan said?”

Undermining others is Li Renyi's consistent style.

As the heir of the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion, he would not engage in pretense with anyone.

If you like to eat it, then eat it; if you don't like it, then don't eat it. There's no need for so many complicated rules.

Now that someone had taken the lead, the rest of the group stopped thinking about it.

Everyone reached for the hamburger, and in no time they were all gone.

This infuriated Pei Yan, who even considered killing Li Renyi.

Unfortunately, to avoid unnecessary trouble, they could only watch as their favorite food was taken away by others.

The meal ended quickly.

Sure enough, Pei Yan was already completely drunk and was talking nonsense.

"That hamburger was absolutely delicious; I've never tasted anything like it before."

"You bunch of blind fools, you stole my beloved hamburger! You deserve to die! Drag you all out and behead you!"

"???"

Everyone was speechless for a while.

Li Renyi, emboldened by alcohol, expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Who do you think you are, daring to cut off my head? Go ahead and try cutting one off yourself if you dare."

He stretched his head in front of Pei Yan, making a gesture that seemed to say, "Try cutting one off and see what happens."

He Jinnian was alright; he has an amazing alcohol tolerance and didn't get particularly drunk.

So he naturally acted as a peacemaker, successfully separating the two and leading Li Renyi and the others away.

……

Fang Xiao was taking a nap in the middle of the night when she suddenly felt the urge to urinate and had to go to the toilet in the yard to relieve herself.

In addition to the three-story front courtyard, Lingxi Pavilion also has a back courtyard.

This backyard is for the shop staff to live in. There are four rooms in total, arranged in a semi-circle. On her left, the male employees and Pei Yan and a few others sleep. On her right, Xiao Cui and the other three female employees sleep. The last room is naturally where she, the big boss, sleeps.

Fang Xiaoxiao, still burping, groggily walked towards the toilet in the corner of the yard on her right.

After dealing with the situation, she returned to her room in a daze.

When she had just walked a few meters away from the room, she heard someone crying on her right.
