Chapter 19 The War God Prince Insulted as a Dog
byChapter 19: The War God Prince Gets Called a Dog
This was the first time Luo Sinian had seen Nanny Xu weeping uncontrollably. He asked, "Nanny Xu, what happened? Please stand up and speak."
Nanny Xu wiped her tears, but she was simply too fat. She writhed for a long time but couldn't get up from the ground. Instead, her jowly face flushed bright red.
Seeing her struggle, Luo Sinian gave Su Mu and Bai Yu a look, signaling them to help Nanny Xu up.
The two then walked over and helped Nanny Xu to her feet.
She immediately began wailing at the top of her lungs, "Prince Chen, Princess Ye is simply too arrogant! Today, she not only killed six servants of the mansion but also injured my daughter, Lin Lang, and threw us out of our quarters. Lin Lang is still unconscious! If this continues, we servants truly have no way to survive!"
"Prince Chen, you must stand up for this servant! Over the years, I have worked diligently in the Night Prince's Mansion, managing all matters big and small for His Highness. But ever since Princess Ye arrived, everything has changed. I truly don't know what to do anymore."
The more Luo Sinian listened, the deeper his frown became. His fists clenched tightly under his sleeves, making cracking sounds, and a brewing storm gathered in his eyes.
"This Ji Yuntang is utterly lawless! This prince will go and teach her a lesson right now!"
Luo Sinian was clearly blinded by rage, completely forgetting the matters Consort Li had entrusted to him.
In his view, Consort Li had never met Ji Yuntang and simply didn't know how vile this woman was.
If she knew, she would probably be eager for him to teach her a lesson himself!
Seeing that she had successfully incited Luo Sinian to stand up for her with just a few words, a glint of cunning flashed in Nanny Xu's murky eyes, and a triumphant smile curled at the corner of her mouth.
*Ji Yuntang, let's see how you die this time!*
In the West Courtyard, Ji Yuntang quickly cooked a meal in the small kitchen.
Luo Junhe's arms and legs were still immobile, making eating very inconvenient. After some thought, Ji Yuntang took out a small table from her space and set it up on his bed.
She ladled a bowl of creamy perch soup and a bowl of yam-pumpkin millet paste, placing them on the small table in front of Luo Junhe. She then took out a straw and inserted it into the soup.
The milky-white broth was rich and fragrant. The fish was stewed until tender and soft, smooth and delicious, without any extra bones. It was garnished with finely chopped green scallions, making it aromatic, enticing, and a feast for both the eyes and the palate.
The yam-pumpkin millet paste, after being blended in a high-speed blender, was intensely fragrant. To make it taste sweeter, Ji Yuntang had added a small piece of rock sugar. Just the smell alone was enough to whet one's appetite.
She placed a thick, soft cushion behind Luo Junhe to ensure he could sit comfortably. Then, she placed the straw at his lips, guiding him to drink the fish soup through it.
"Your Highness, this is a straw. Just gently suck with your mouth to drink the fish soup and porridge from the bowl. Try it."
Luo Junhe only felt a finger-thick stick pressed against his lips. He opened his mouth, took it in, and gently sucked.
Instantly, the fish soup from the bowl entered his mouth. Just like the scent that had reached his nose, a rich, intense flavor swept across his entire tongue.
Once again, Luo Junhe was blown away by Ji Yuntang's culinary skills!
*It's so delicious!*
In all his life, he had never tasted such delicious fish soup. Even the imperial chefs in the palace probably couldn't compare to her.
Luo Junhe suddenly felt as if he had stumbled upon a great bargain, marrying such an extraordinary princess consort.
Seeing that he had already mastered using the straw, Ji Yuntang brought out her own dinner and placed it on the table in the room.
She had prepared some home-style dishes: tomato and egg soup, fish-flavored shredded pork, braised pork ribs, and a bowl of rice.
Ji Yuntang had just taken a bite of rice when an angry voice roared from outside the door.
"Ji Yuntang, get out here this instant!"
Ji Yuntang recognized it as Luo Sinian's voice. She ignored it and continued eating with her head down.
*Eat, eat, eat. Nothing is more important than my meal.*
Even if something were, it would have to wait until she finished eating.
Luo Junhe, however, paused slightly. He asked somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong with Eighth Brother? Why is he so angry?"
Ji Yuntang took a bite of the pork rib meat. The fresh, savory juices burst open in her mouth, delightfully chewy, filling her with a sense of happiness.
In the face of meat, vegetable dishes had become bland and uninteresting. She mumbled indistinctly, "Ignore him. Eat your meal."
After shouting three times outside the door and finding that no one paid him any attention—he didn't even catch a glimpse of Ji Yuntang—Luo Sinian grew frustrated.
Nanny Xu's eyes darted around shrewdly. Knowing her opportunity had come again, she stepped forward and stirred the pot, "Prince Chen, look, just look at Princess Ye! She doesn't even regard you with any respect!"
This sentence successfully stoked Luo Sinian's anger.
He had initially hesitated about barging into his third brother's room, but now he couldn't care less.
Who knew what that ugly monster Ji Yuntang was doing to his third brother inside the room?
Luo Sinian stepped forward and kicked the door of the West Courtyard open. Su Mu wanted to stop him but was already too late.
Ji Yuntang looked up, her gaze cold. Their eyes met, sparks flying between them.
"Such a temper. Did you eat gunpowder?"
The scene before his eyes shocked Luo Sinian. He saw both Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe eating.
However, one was sitting on the bed, a small table set up in front of him, with a white tube inserted in his mouth.
The other was sitting on the floor, with three plates of red and green dishes on the table. They smelled quite fragrant, but he had never seen anything like them before.
Luo Sinian exploded on the spot, "Ji Yuntang, what have you fed my third brother? The imperial physician said his body can only consume rice soup, nothing else!"
"If my third brother's health deteriorates from eating this, I'm afraid even ten of your heads wouldn't be enough for Father Emperor to chop off!"
Ji Yuntang rolled her eyes and continued eating with her head down, "Oh, then wait until your third brother's health deteriorates to chop mine off!"
Although Luo Junhe wasn't clear about what had happened between these two, given the current situation, it was obvious Luo Sinian was causing trouble for Ji Yuntang.
He reprimanded with a cold face, "Eighth Brother, do not be disrespectful to your third sister-in-law!"
"Third Brother, do you know this woman? She married you with ill intentions from the start."
Ji Yuntang let out a scornful laugh, "Oh? Then tell me, how did I have ill intentions?"
"You had Chen Hu deliver Third Brother's Ice Stone Bed to my mansion. You deliberately smeared it with feces, urine, and dog blood, making me mistakenly believe it was left by Third Brother, and even had me lie on it!"
"Just thinking about it now makes me nauseous. It's bad enough that you, this ugly monster, disgusted me, but you also tarnished my third brother's reputation, making others mistakenly believe that he, the dignified War God Prince, defecates and urinates on his bed all day with no one to clean it up!"
"Tell me, what exactly were your intentions!?"
Luo Junhe: "......"
He suddenly felt the fish soup in his mouth had lost its flavor.
