The Abandoned Wife of a Military Family: Your disguise has been exposed again.

Chapter 280 It's a huge loss if you don't eat a couple of bites.
Haitang was taken aback.

The Grand Preceptor of Xizhou Kingdom?

Why did he kidnap the princess?

Just as he was thinking this, he heard Feng Huai's excited voice say, "It seems that the Yun family really does have a treasure map on them, even the Grand Preceptor of Xizhou is coveting it!"

Haitang steadied herself and frowned, asking, "How do you know it's about the treasure map?"

Feng Huai scoffed, "If it's not for the treasure map, then is it for coveting the beauty of the Yun family? I don't think Dongfang Du is a lecherous man."

Haitang had nothing to say.

Her gaze was fixed on Dongfang Du's figure ahead.

After getting off the carriage, he sat down by the fire, where his men were roasting game.

"You did a good job this time!" Feng Huai suddenly said.

Haitang glanced at him, puzzled, but said nothing.

Feng Huai, however, said to himself, "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. No matter how Dongfang Du thought it, we would be the ones to reap the benefits."

Haitang finally understood what he meant and frowned, saying, "If the princess doesn't have a treasure map, then you should give up on that idea."

Feng Huai said unhappily, "You brat, you always side with outsiders. Has the Yun family ever cared about your life or death? When it was crucial, wasn't it me who brought you the antidote? Is this how you repay me?"

"You're the one who gave me that Biluo!" Haitang glanced at him sideways.

She might have been afraid of him before, but she wasn't even afraid of Biluo anymore, so why should she be afraid of him?

At worst, I'll let him kill me with one blow; it's better than suffering Biluo's torment later.

Feng Huai choked.

After a long pause, he coughed lightly, trying to save face, "But I also saved your life. If it weren't for me, you would have died that winter."

“Then I’ve done a lot for you too,” Haitang retorted, “and all those things I did have already repaid your kindness.”

Feng Huai's face darkened. "How can you repay a life-saving debt so easily?"

Haitang snorted and ignored him.

Feng Huai: "..."

This girl has really grown up; she actually dared to give him the cold shoulder.
Good, very good!
Feng Huai was so angry he laughed. He was about to say something more when Haitang reached out and pressed his head down.

Feng Huai, his face buried in the grass: "..."

After a long while, Haitang finally withdrew her hand.

Realizing what had happened, Feng Huai angrily grabbed Haitang's face.

"Haitang, how dare you lay a hand on me!"

"I didn't move my foot." Haitang looked innocent and was about to avoid his movements, but she was afraid that the noise would alert Dongfang Du, so she had no choice but to endure it and let him pinch her cheek.

Feng Huai vented his anger by pinching and pulling at the flesh on her face.

Haitang felt uncomfortable from being pinched, and subconsciously raised her elbow to bump his waist and abdomen.

"Well!"

Feng Huai groaned, staring at her in disbelief, and released his grip on her face.

Haitang quickly moved to the side, meeting his murderous gaze, and said awkwardly, "You grabbed me first!"

Feng Huai gritted his teeth and said, "If you damage it, you'll have to take responsibility for me."

Haitang looked at him incredulously.

Feng Huai was also a martial artist, and she didn't believe that her elbow strike just now could have hurt him.

However, remembering his habit of threatening people, she didn't take it seriously and instead said irritably, "It's not made of tofu!"

Feng Huai: "..." Haitang ignored him and took out a pancake from her bosom, starting to eat it.

Seeing that she was eating with relish, Feng Huai also felt hungry.

Ever since he saw her outside the city gate today, he has followed her all the way here and hasn't eaten anything.

Normally, he wouldn't even look at such a rough pancake.

But seeing her eating like a hamster, her cheeks bulging, he couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Any... cakes?" he asked awkwardly after a long pause.

"That's all," Haitang replied without turning her head.

Feng Huai was taken aback, glancing sideways at her, "Don't you still have half a piece in your hand?"

"I've already eaten it, you don't mind?" Haitang looked at him in astonishment.

When did Young Master Feng become so uncouth?

Feng Huai felt a little embarrassed, but since he had already lost face, wouldn't it be a huge loss if he didn't eat a few bites?
Thinking it over, he reached out and snatched the half-eaten pancake from Haitang's hand, saying fiercely, "I'm hungry."

Haitang: “…”

She looked at him as if he were some strange and unusual object.

Feng Huai tore off the part she had bitten and threw it back to her before taking the rest of the cake and eating it.

While eating, he complained, "Is this food for beggars? Why is it so hard?"

Haitang snapped out of her daze, stuffed the little piece of bread he threw into her mouth, and mumbled, "It really is for beggars. Young Master Feng has become a beggar for once."

Feng Huai was truly choked this time.

His face flushed red, he pounded his chest, and struggled to swallow the pancake, slurring, "Haitang... if I choke to death on this pancake... I... I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"

Haitang was startled and quickly untied the water pouch hanging from her waist and held it to his mouth, saying, "Quickly drink two mouthfuls of water."

As if grasping at a straw, Feng Huai snatched the water bag and began gulping down the water.

After finally recovering, he threw the empty water pouch back to Haitang, then lay down on his back on the grass, breathing in the fresh air deeply.

Haitang hung the water pouch back on her waist, thinking with great disdain, "Is this person a water buffalo in disguise? He drank all the water from my entire pouch."

Yunwei, inside the carriage in the distance, was unaware that Haitang and Fenghuai were secretly monitoring Dongfang Du.

She lay weakly on the carriage, unable to even sit up.

She tried several times but couldn't muster the power, so she yelled at the top of her lungs, "Dongfang Du, where the hell have you been? Are you trying to starve me to death?"

Dongfang Du, who was sitting by the fire outside, had just received the roasted game from his subordinates when he heard Yun Wei's roar.

His eye twitched slightly, and he took the roasted pheasant and got into the carriage.

"Does the Regent know about this shrewish side of you?"

Yunwei ignored him and directly commanded, "I'm hungry and thirsty, I want to eat something."

Dongfang Du chuckled softly, "I thought you wouldn't have an appetite."

"How could that be? No matter what, I can't starve to death, otherwise all your efforts would be in vain," Yun Wei mocked.

Dongfang Du nodded. "It's good that you know." He then helped her up and sat her against the car wall, before holding the roast chicken to her mouth.

Yunwei glanced at him, then opened her mouth and took a big bite of chicken.

Dongfang Du was very patient. While feeding her, he said, "Junior Sister, you look just like when Master first picked you up. Back then, you were starving for a long time. When you saw food, you would wolf it down. I even gave you my share."

Upon hearing this, Yunwei was reminded of what happened back then, and immediately lost her appetite.

"You don't need to remind me of what happened back then; I won't appreciate it."
