Since Xiaoxiao suggested they continue eating, Chu Lian also decided to go along with it — only this way, Xiangxiang wouldn't notice anything amiss.
When they went to have the meal, Wang Xiangxiang noticed Acheng was missing and asked, "Where's Acheng?"
Wang Xiangxiang was indeed a good master; she never beat or looked down on her servants and always ate with them at the same table when they were out.
"I just let him eat first. He still has to feed the horses and has a lot of work, so I didn't make him wait," Chu Lian casually fabricated an excuse.
Hearing this, Wang Xiangxiang just kept quiet and focused on eating her meal.
As she ate quietly, she noticed that Chu Lian had added a heap of food to her bowl. She widened her eyes, puzzled.
Fearing she wouldn't eat, Chu Lian's tone became somewhat mischievous, "Taking a bath made you fall asleep; you must be really weak; you need a good nourishment."
