In the study, Xie Boting sat there, feeling so angry that his chest hurt. How could he marry such an irritating wife? Even if the poison was cured, she would sooner or later be so angry that he would die.
When Chen Qing came back from delivering the roast duck, he received a glare from his eldest son. He was so glared that he couldn't smile even if he wanted to, and his cheeks hurt from holding it in.
He held a food box in his hand and placed it on the desk.
Xie Boting asked, "What is this?"
"My subordinate gave you the roast duck you requested."
Chen Qing opened the food box and found three roast duck legs lying quietly on the plate inside.
It has already been heated up and is steaming.
He gave Prince Xin'an and his family a roast duck each. As expected, the young master was not the one to share the roast duck, so he sent the roast duck out and asked for a leg.
Xie Boting's eyes turned black with anger, "They all know that the young lady's roast duck is theirs and not mine?!"
Chen Qing, "..."
Chen Qing didn't say anything, so he acquiesced.
Xie Boting said angrily, "Take it away!"
Chen Qing looked at him, "Master, do you really want me to take him away?"
"Then I'll just eat it."
Chen Qing picked up the food box and took a big bite of a duck leg. He had been coveting it for a long time.
Xie Boting looked at him, his eyes blazing with fire, and he squeezed out two words from between his teeth:
"lay down."
Chen Qing felt torn on behalf of his father. He also wanted to try the eldest mistress's craftsmanship, but he couldn't put it down. There were no outsiders in the study, so why bother?
Xie Boting stared at the two roast duck legs on the plate for a long time, then picked up one and took a bite.
After chewing twice, he frowned and said, "It's so sour, how can it taste good?"
acid?
Chen Qing was stunned for a moment, looking at the roast duck with only bones left in his hand.
Such a delicious roast duck was perfectly salty and fat. He wished he could chew up the bones and eat it. How could it be sour?
Chen Qing looked at Xie Boting in confusion. Seeing his disgusted face, he understood instantly and said with a suppressed smile, "Master, are you jealous?"
At this rate, I would have to brew a whole vat of vinegar to open a shop.
Xie Boting's face darkened, and his voice rose in vain, "What did you say?!"
Come on, I'm jealous but I won't let you talk about it.
Chen Qing quickly poured the tea and said, "Take a sip of tea to relieve your anger before eating."
Xie Boting put down the roast duck, took the tea cup and drank a few sips. Chen Qing said, "The eldest mistress didn't mean not to prepare your portion. The eldest mistress asked for five ducks, but there were only four left in the big kitchen. Prince Xin'an and the others
It’s a shame that if I give this one away and leave that one behind, I can only feel wronged to you.”
Xie Boting glanced sideways at Chen Qing, "You can explain it clearly to her."
Is it okay if I don’t explain it? If I don’t explain it, I don’t know how long I will be sour.
Xie Boting drank all the tea, picked up the book to read, glanced at it twice, and then his eyes fell on the roast duck.
Chen Qing turned around and left silently. This chapter has been completed!
