Chapter 27: Cousin's Anger

Shi Fengju wanted to continue being stubborn and refuse to eat, but he couldn't bear the hunger and thirst any longer. Just as he was about to reluctantly agree, Chang Huan barged in from outside and blurted out, "Young Master, the kitchen stove has been extinguished, and Aunt Li said that the food has been distributed to the different courtyards. Shall I bring some food for you from Ningyuan, or should I ask Aunt Li to make you a bowl of noodles? Oh, fearing you might not wait, I brought a plate of hibiscus cakes, jade crumb cakes, and peach cakes!"

As Chang Huan was about to proudly present the pastries, he noticed Sang Wan and Xingzhi standing in front of him with a sneaky smile, and his master's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

How could Shi Fengju not be angry? He had just casually told Sang Wan in Ningyuan that he wasn't hungry, and now he had been caught red-handed! Chang Huan's words were particularly irritating to his ears.
