Chapter 1023: The Enthronement of the Prince (8)

"Ah, okay!"

The old man happily served a bowl of porridge, placing it in front of the little girl.

The elderly couple both looked at the girl who was wolfing down her food with affection, their gaze moving across the scars on the girl's face, and they couldn't help but show a pained expression. However, neither of them mentioned the child's injuries, only advising, "Eat slowly, careful not to choke..."

The little girl wolfed down her food, speaking indistinctly as she ate, "I have to... eat quickly, if I return late... Aunt Qiu Hong will beat me..."

A pang of distress flitted through the old couple's eyes. After a moment of thought, the old grandma hurried on her small feet to the steamer, wrapped two big meat buns in oil paper, and placed them beside the girl's table.

Girl, when you go back, give these two buns to Aunt Qiu Hong, so she won't always beat you.
