Just as Xiaoqing raised the boning knife, Qin Niangzi suddenly turned around.

Xiaoqing froze instantly, the murderous intent in her eyes turning into panic.

Qin Niangzi took the knife from his hand. "How did you know I was going to use this knife? Even though it looks rather ugly, you're quite perceptive."

After saying that, he turned around and started cutting the meat, this time using a boning knife.

While Qin Niangzi was cooking, Old Man Xu came in, glanced at Xiaoqing, and froze, stroking his chin, "You brat..."

Xiaoqing's hand holding the firewood trembled slightly. Had he been recognized?

"You look so ugly, get to work and don't slack off."

Old Xu left after saying that.

Xiaoqing felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart, and almost vomited blood on the spot.

What's wrong with his looks? He's still a handsome and charming man, the top courtesan at the Inviting Moon Pavilion!

Qin Niangzi turned around and added insult to injury, "See? I'm not the only one who says you're ugly."

Xiaoqing had been faking his tears, but now he really wanted to cry because everyone was bullying him.

Waaaaah, everyone's bullying him.

Qin Niangzi made shredded pork and egg noodles; her cooking skills are truly excellent.

Lin Shuyun took a bite and found it quite fragrant; her cooking skills were acceptable.

Xiaoqing emerged from the kitchen numbly, no longer covering her face with the cloth, and mechanically walked out.

"Brother, eat! What are you doing standing there like an idiot?" Lin Shuyun called out.

Xiaoqing paused for a moment and looked at her, "What did you call me?"

"Brother, didn't you say I was your own sister? Now you don't recognize me anymore?"

Lin Shuyun smiled as soon as she saw his face, "You're so handsome, no wonder you're my brother."

She used to be so ugly, but now she's only slightly less attractive than her husband.

Lin Shuyun: She definitely didn't call Xiaoqing "brother" because of his looks.

Xiaoqing smiled too, "I acknowledge it, you are my own sister."

"The food's over there, hurry up and eat!" Madam Qin rolled her eyes and pointed to a bowl of noodles on the table next to her.

Xiaoqing flipped one over and plopped down on the stool. Why not eat it if it's free? It's not like he's eating this heartless, wicked woman's food.

He was eating the food of his sister, whom he had recognized through his own abilities.

After taking a bite of noodles, Xiaoqing felt a warm feeling in her stomach, which also suppressed the soreness in her eyes.

Today is his birthday, but nobody remembers.

But what does it matter? He still got to eat egg noodles.

Jiang Changtian lowered his head to eat his noodles, concealing the shock in his eyes.

How did the former crown prince end up living in anonymity in a brothel? And why did he suffer from amnesia?

He would never mistake this face once he saw it before; it was definitely the former Crown Prince Xuanyuan Heng.

Moreover, this man's attitude towards Qin Niangzi was clearly unusual, and there must be a relationship between the two.

"Husband, eat more." Lin Shuyun put the poached egg from her bowl into Jiang Changtian's bowl.

Jiang Changtian's expression returned to normal, his face gentle. He picked up the fried egg from his bowl and also took the one from Jiang's bowl, saying, "You eat it, I don't like it."

Lin Shuyun laughed and said, "I don't like it either."

She's telling the truth; she didn't intentionally save the fried egg for him.

But Jiang Changtian clearly thought so.

My heart felt warm, and so did the words I said, "Yunyun, listen to me and don't be picky about food. You'll grow taller if you eat more."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shuyun thought: "Emmm, since even the handsome man calls me Yunyun, how about... I reluctantly eat it?"

Qin Niangzi, who was standing to the side, took a pair of chopsticks and took the poached eggs from both of their bowls. "You don't like them, right? Give them to me, I like them."

He casually tossed one into Xiaoqing's bowl, saying, "Here, have one. Eating too many eggs won't help you digest them."

Lin Shuyun & Jiang Changtian: ...

After dinner, Lin Shuyun prepared the things for opening the shop, and Jiang Changtian took advantage of the fact that no one was around to approach Qin Niangzi.

To get straight to the point, “Mrs. Qin, you look a lot like an old friend of mine.”

He wasn't sure if the former Crown Prince Xuanyuan Heng had really lost his memory, but he could first test the relationship between the two through Qin Niangzi.

If he really is the former crown prince, then he should make other plans.

Qin Niangzi was peeling garlic when she heard this and frowned.

Jiang Changtian thought to himself, "As expected."

The next second, Qin Niangzi grabbed Jiang Changtian's ear.

"You brat, you're married now and you still dare to flirt with me? I'm an old woman, I've seen all kinds of philandering men, and you think you can get close to me like this?"

Jiang Changtian was stunned. When he realized what was happening, his ears were red from being pulled. "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"

"Ouch! You're so shameless, you don't even know what pain is! Do you still dare to flirt with me? Huh! Say something!"

Qin Niangzi put one hand on her hip and grabbed Jiang Changtian's ear with the other.

A plate of coal balls that had been sleeping on the table burst into laughter: "Shu Yun, come quick! Your man flirted with a beauty and got his ear pulled! Ahahaha!"

Lin Hongwen, who had just returned from grocery shopping, also stared wide-eyed.

Jiang Changtian, afraid of being misunderstood by his brother-in-law, blushed and said, "I didn't flirt with you! I just said that you looked like an old friend I had met before."

"Pah! What kind of tricks haven't I seen? This is just a common way men try to get close to you. Do you know why I'm dealing with you?"

"You brat, you should call me Auntie! How dare you talk to your aunt like that! I'll teach you a lesson!"

Lin Shuyun, who rushed in, and Jiang Changtian, whose ear was being pulled, exclaimed in unison, "Aunt?!"

"Yes!" Qin Niangzi responded crisply and let go of her hand.

"I'll let you off the hook because my niece is sweet-talking. But if you dare to do it again, I'll skin you alive."

Jiang Changtian covered his ears and looked at Qin Niangzi with a disillusioned expression.

"Niece, come here and let your aunt take a look." Madam Qin waved to Lin Shuyun with a smile.

The beautiful woman beckoned, and Lin Shuyun's legs went awry.

Xiaoqing's brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly, "Don't try to claim kinship with me! What kind of aunt are you? Your husband's dead!"

Lin Shuyun nodded. Yes, when did she get an aunt?

"She's a widow who died young. I'm your father's cousin; I married and moved away to another place years ago..."

Qin Niangzi started to go through the motions of explaining the family relationship, going around in circles.

After going around in circles, Lin Hongwen suddenly spoke up, "I've heard my dad mention that we seem to have such a relative. Are you really my aunt?"

Qin Niangzi nodded to Lin Hongwen with satisfaction, "Yes, at first I didn't even recognize you, but the more I looked at you, the more familiar you seemed. I never imagined you'd all grown up so much."

Xiaoqing thought it was really outrageous and immediately mocked, "Aunt? I just don't believe it."

Madam Qin rolled her eyes at him, "None of your business, go wash the dishes!"

Xiaoqing glared, "Why?"

"Just because I cooked this meal, I was the kitchen helper and you were the assistant cook."

Xiaoqing went to wash the dishes with wide eyes, while Qin Niangzi was beaming with pride.

Jiang Changtian looked dazed. Could it be that he had mistaken the person? Was this not the former crown prince?

That's so childish... I don't think so.
