<h4>Chapter 113: The Little Munchkins Are Here</h4> <h4>?</h4>


    The room that emitted a hint of rouge fragrance was elegant and unique. Arge screen under the moonlight split the room into two. Behind the desk on the left sat a handsome young man.


    The young man looked to be no more than sixteen or seventeen years old. His skin was as smooth as cream, his phoenix eyes were long and narrow, and his lips were red. He looked flirtatious and affectionate. He was the owner of Tianxiang Restaurant, Xu Chengxuan.


    Although Xu Chengxuan was young and had a face that was too feminine, he was decisive and ruthless. Almost everyone in Tianxiang Restaurant was afraid of him.


    Two fat and strong men stood behind Xu Chengxuan with cold expressions.


    In front of Xu Chengxuan was Chef Yang, who had his head lowered and was bending down, sweating profusely.


    “… That’s what happened.” After Chef Yang confessed honestly, he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. No matter how he hid it from others, he did not dare to say anything in front of this young master.


    “Trash!” Xu Chengxuan mmed his fist on the table.


    Chef Yang felt the atmosphere in the room be even more oppressive. Even the guards behind Xu Chengxuan seemed to be rubbing their hands together.


    Chef Yang trembled! In the next second, he heard Xu Chengxuan say, “If you can’t even deal with two country bumpkins, what’s the use of you?!”


    Chef Yang was stunned when he heard this. Young Master wasn’t ming him for giarizing Yu Kaiyang’s recipes, but he was angry that he didn’t clean up the mess.


    Chef Yang was overjoyed and wished he could kneel down in front of his young master!


    ...


    “Boss! Three of them came yesterday. There are only two left today.” Chef Yang did not see Shopkeeper Cui and thought that he had been killed by that group of killers. He did not know that he had split up with Yu Wan and Yu Feng the moment he left the Tianxiang Restaurant.


    “What’s the use of an outsider dying?” Xu Chengxuan was notforted at all.


    Chef Yang lowered his head again. “I didn’t expect the two of them to have some skills. They beat those people into the magistrate prefecture. However, Young Master, don’t worry. I did it very cleanly. They won’t be able to trace it back to us.”


    Xu Chengxuan gave him a dangerous look. “You deserve to die too. Do you know that if this matter gets out, it won’t just affect the reputation of Tianxiang Restaurant, but also my cousin and aunt?”


    The cousin and aunt he mentioned were the Second Prince and Worthy Consort Xu.


    Chef Yang knelt down with a thud.


    Xu Chengxuan said resentfully, “If it weren’t for the fact that my aunt was willing to eat two mouthfuls of your snacks, I would have dealt with you long ago!”


    Chef Yang shivered again. This time, it was only on the surface. Since the Young Master had said that Worthy Consort valued his skills, he would be protected by the Young Master no matter what. Of course, he still had to make up for what he had done wrong.


    “Young Master, please give me another chance. I definitely won’t fail this time.”


    Xu Chengxuan said coldly, “What can you do with your little ability? ve Bi.”


    A thin man covered in a ck cloak walked over from behind the screen with his order.


    … .


    On the way out of the Capital, Yu Wan saw the candied hawthorn seller and jumped off the carriage to buy a few sticks.


    Yu Feng shook his head in confusion. “You’re still in the mood to buy this at a time like this?”


    Yu Wan smiled slightly. “We have to live our lives, Big Brother.”


    The carriage only reached the courier station. After that, the two of them walked back to the vige. The journey was not short, but it was not difficult for the two of them. When it was close to three in the afternoon, the two of them arrived at the vige entrance.


    In the distance, they saw a wandering old man holding a wooden stick and a rice bag.


    Today, the vigers ended work early and returned to their homes. The women surrounded the old well to wash the vegetables and clothes. The wandering old man didn’t seem to know how to speak. He just hunched his body and asked them for rice one by one.


    Aunt Bai frowned and said, “Ournd is gone! I’m already hungry, where can I find rice for you? Go to Apricot Flower Vige! Do you see that road? Go east, keep going! You’ll be there!”


    The wandering old man continued to beg for rice.


    Aunt Zhang patted Aunt Bai’s hand. “He’s deaf.”


    Aunt Bai rolled her eyes and hit the clothes in the basin with her club. “I don’t have rice for him!”


    The wandering old man couldn’t get it from Aunt Bai for a long time, so he turned to Aunt Zhang for it. Aunt Zhang turned around.


    He went to extend the rice bag to Cui Hua. Cui Hua picked up a basin of washed clothes and returned to the house without looking back.


    It was not that they were hard-hearted, but their rice jars were about to be empty. Although they could get their wages, theirnd was gone. They need to buy whatever they ate. Why do they have the money to help him? It was more like they were being helped!


    The wandering old man begged around the well but to no avail. He began to go from house to house. No one noticed that the moment the stumbling old man turned around, a trace of sess shed across his eyes.


    … .


    Yu Wan gave one stick of candied hawthorn to Little Zhenzhen and the other to Little Bruiser. The remaining four sticks were taken by Yu Wan to the house next door.


    Uncle Wan was feeding the little munchkins.


    The little munchkins sat on their small stool with their small bowls in front of them. The three of them clumsily grabbed the golden spoon and stirred the rice soaked in minced meat, prawns, and bone soup. They stirred until the rice grains scattered, but they didn’t eat.


    Uncle Wan was overwrought. You guys should at least eat something!


    “Uncle Wan.” Yu Wan walked in.


    Uncle Wan went up to her as if he had been granted amnesty. “Miss Yu, you came at the right time. The Little Masters don’t want to eat. Help me…”


    As Uncle Wan spoke, he turned around and saw that the little masters, whom he had coaxed for an hour and refused to eat a single bite, had opened their mouths and was biting the rice on the spoon. They had never eaten it themselves, so their movements were a little clumsy. One of them even held the spoon upside down.


    Uncle Wan was instantly dumbfounded. “This…”


    Yu Wan nodded and said, “Let me do it, Uncle Wan.”


    “Aye, alright!” Uncle Wan couldn’t ask for more and left in relief.


    Yu Wan walked up to the three little fellows. The three little fellows buried their heads in their food.


    Yu Wan tapped their foreheads. “Stop pretending. I saw everything.”


    Wuu ~ They were caught red-handed.


    The three little fellows lowered their heads in shame.


    “I don’t mean to me you, but you have to know that food is very precious. There are natural and man-made disasters outside, and many people can’t fill their stomachs. You have to eat obediently, understand?”


    The three little fellows nodded sensibly.


    Yu Wan looked at the rice scattered on the table and made three rules with the three of them. “Don’t waste food.”


    The three of them picked up the rice grains on the table.


    The eldest brother and second brother ate obediently, but the third brother cunningly threw the rice into his two brothers’ bowls.


    Yu Wan said solemnly, “Eat your own food.”


    The third brother dug out the rice that he had already thrown into his brother’s bowl with his sticky fingers.


    The eldest brother, who wanted to vomit, was speechless.


    The second brother, who instantly lost his appetite: “…”


    … .


    “You can’t leave a single drop of soup!”


    The three of them obediently finished their meal under Yu Wan’s strict supervision. Yu Wan rewarded each of them with a stick of candied hawthorn and gave thest stick to the little snow fox. After that, Yu Wan returned to the house to cook.


    Knock knock knock!


    There was a knock at the front door.


    As Yu Wan stir-fried the vegetables in the pot, she said to the central room, “Little Bruiser, look who’s here?”


    Knock knock knock!


    There was another series of knocks.


    “Where did this child go?” Yu Wan quickly walked to the central room and saw the wandering old man who had been begging at the vige entrance.


    The wandering old man bowed to Yu Wan and stretched out his rice bag to beg. Yu Wan went to the kitchen to get two steamed cornbread for him. The wandering old man put the cornbread into a rice bag, but he did not leave. Instead, he gestured.


    “Do you want some water?” Yu Wan asked.


    The wandering old man shook his head and trembled as he took out a portrait.


    “You’re looking for someone?” Yu Wan looked at the portrait and felt that the person in the portrait looked familiar, but she couldn’t remember where she had seen him before. A charred fragrance came from the kitchen. Yu Wan hurriedly said, “I’m still cooking. Take a seat first. I think I’ve seen the person in the portrait before. I have to think!”


    The wandering old man bowed gratefully.


    Yu Wan went to the kitchen to cook.


    ve Bi looked at her disappearing back and his hunched back instantly straightened. He sat down at the dining table.


    There were two fragrant cornbread on the table. The cornbread was made by her uncle, and it looked and tasted extremely good. Just by smelling it, ve Bi almost drooled, but he did not forget what he was here for. He took out a medicine bottle from his pocket, pulled out the stopper, and was about to pour the poison on the cornbread.


    Suddenly, Little Bruiser ran in noisily. “Sis, Sis! I’m so hungry! Eh? Sis? We have a guest?”


    Little Bruiser’s appearance stopped ve Bi in his tracks. He retracted his hand.


    Little Bruiser sat down beside him and looked at him curiously.


    Yu Wan scooped out three bowls of porridge. “This is an old grandpa passing by. He’s here to look for someone.”


    “Oh.” Little Bruiser pushed a bowl of porridge to ve Bi. “Grandpa, have some porridge.”


    “Where’s Mom?” Yu Wan asked.


    Little Bruiser held the bowl of porridge and said, “She’s helping Grandma Zhang. She said she won’t be back for dinner. Sis, did you burn the vegetables again?”


    The meat in the pot! Yu Wan quickly turned around and went to the kitchen.


    Little Bruiser finished his porridge and left with a sh!


    The three little munchkins took a bubble bath and smelled good. They picked up the flowers and went to look for Yu Wan. Coincidentally, ve Bi sprinkled the poison into the porridge bowl in front of him. This venom was colorless and tasteless, but its medicinal effect was very strong. One spoonful was enough to knock down a cow. Half a spoonful was enough to deal with a slender little girl. After he poisoned the porridge, he swapped his porridge with Yu Wan’s bowl.


    As soon as he put it down, Little Bruiser pulled Stone and another ten-year-old child over. “Grandpa! Who are you looking for? Ask Stone and Brother Haizi! They know a lot of people!”


    ve Bi was so shocked that his hand trembled and the medicine bottle fell under the table.


    Little Bruiser pulled him out. “Ask them! Ask them!”


    ve Bi was entangled by Little Bruiser, so he didn’t know that the little munchkins had seen him poisoning and changing the porridge.


    The three little munchkins entered the house. Yu Wan’s instructions were still vivid in their minds.


    “We can’t waste food.”


    The eldest brother picked up the medicine bottle.


    “Eat your own food.”


    The second brother exchanged their porridge bowls.


    “You can’t leave a single drop of soup!”


    The third brother opened the medicine bottle and poured the poisonous “soup” into ve Bi’s bowl.
