It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 110

Mrs. Chang Er sat in the main seat, watching Chang Ruxing and Chang Ruyue eat mouthful after mouthful in silence, no longer as lively as they used to be during meals. After being tricked, she felt even worse.

Seeing that the two had finally finished their meals and put down their bowls and chopsticks, slumping in their chairs to relax, she took the initiative to suggest, "When you deliver food tomorrow, remember to bring extra rice, flour, and charcoal."

Ignoring the surprised looks of Chang Ruxing and Chang Ruyue, Madam Chang Er continued, "Ask the steward for another pot. They definitely don't have cooking utensils in their courtyard, so it's inconvenient to cook."

Chang Ruxing and Chang Ruyue kept their mother's advice in mind, but still couldn't help asking: "Mother, didn't you dislike us giving gifts to Sister Fu? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Mrs. Chang Er looked at them for a long time before slowly expressing her thoughts.

"In the beginning, it was because the house arrest was ordered by your Third Grandfather, and the fasting was decided by your Grandmother and Aunt. They are both elders in the family, and you two are still young. Mother didn't want you to get involved and cause trouble.

Yesterday afternoon, the kitchen steward came to me to complain. I knew you two couldn't hide the fact that you were sending things to Miss Fu, so I was going to punish you first. I hope that since you have already reflected on your actions, I will not pursue the matter further."

Chang Ruxing lowered his eyes: "Why do they have to complain about everything? I am a manor's young master, it won't be a problem if I take some ordinary ingredients!"

Madam Chang Er tapped his forehead with her index finger. "Why are they ordinary things? They are ingredients specially prepared by the kitchen chef to make dinner for your grandmother and aunt. If you take them, you will be walking into a trap..."

"That's just an ordinary thing. Can't they just replace it with a new one?" Chang Ruxing muttered in dissatisfaction. Noticing his mother's death gaze, he immediately changed his words and said, "I'm blind and don't recognize the dignity of my elders."

Some sarcastic words made Chang Ruyue burst out laughing.

Madam Chang Er stretched out her arm and grabbed Chang Ruyue in front of her, slapping her twice on the back. "You're still laughing! Have you forgotten the punishment you received for lunch so quickly?"

"I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten." Chang Ruyue recalled the "secret" her mother had just told them two days ago, and still found it hard to accept: "How could my aunt, who has always been gentle and generous, suddenly join my grandmother's petty camp..."

It's hard to say that it was a sudden change. After staying up all night and carefully reviewing the situation, Mrs. Chang Er found that she had been deceived at least three times. It can only be said that Xiao Suyue disguised herself very well.

There is no point in bringing up old grudges with the children. Mrs. Chang Er just wants to remind them again not to bring bad luck to their elders.

"Then mother, why did you ask me and my brother to deliver something to Sister Fu?" Chang Ruyue was puzzled, and vaguely felt that her mother had bad intentions.

Madam Chang Er snorted coldly, "You deserve to be punished for your wrongdoings. Mother can't ask for justice from her on this matter. But she didn't know that Mother had increased your punishment without her permission. Mother is very unhappy, so I can only make her unhappy."

Chang Ruxing looked hurt: "So, mother, you want to let your precious children put themselves in danger again?"

"Your actions have my permission, what are you afraid of?" Mrs. Chang, though usually indifferent and only fond of pleasure, was confident. "If they want to punish me as well, not to mention having to consider your father's face, even if they don't care, my father will bring my brothers to our house to beat us up."

Chang Ruxing and Chang Ruyue looked at their mother in admiration and clapped their hands.
