The devil relies on the cat

Chapter 24
It is said that a certain prince is used to delicacies from mountains and seas, so it is rare to eat a home-cooked dish at this moment, and he finds it very refreshing.He has always been mainly drinking alcohol and supplemented by eating vegetables, but today he is completely down.This time, Yan Ruoling didn't even need to add food to him, he picked up the chopsticks and took bite after bite.

Four dishes and one soup, obviously using the most common ingredients, but through the hands of the chef of Chunyuelou, not only has it created a feast for the eyes, but it is also the ultimate enjoyment for the taste buds when eaten.He, who has always been picky, couldn't help but secretly praise it.

"My lord, are you still used to this kind of home-cooked food?" Yan Ruoling looked at Xia Jinchai who had tasted every dish, her eyes were full of worry.Although she had eaten these dishes before and knew they tasted good, but thinking that these were just the most common and cheapest ingredients, she couldn't help worrying that the pampered prince would not like it.

"En, the taste is not bad." Xia Jinchai was satisfied with his meal, but he replied with great reluctance.A joke, what he likes, how can it be easily known to others!
"Well, that's good." Yan Ruoling smiled reassuringly.

At this moment, there was a "crack".Xia Jinchai suddenly put down his chopsticks and covered his mouth.When he let go of his hand, a pair of black and deep eyes seemed to be ignited with flames of anger, burning fiercely, and said angrily: "What's going on!"

Yan Ruoling leaned forward to take a look, ah, Prince Chai's palm was already covered with blood.There is a little white in the red liquid.

"Prince Chai, your teeth..." Yan Ruoling blurted out almost reflexively because he was too shocked.However, before he finished speaking, the raised eyes met someone's eyes that were so angry that they could kill someone.For a moment, shut up.

"Come on!" Xia Jinchai roared, and Xian Shan, who had been guarding the door for a long time, immediately opened the door and walked in.

"My lord." Xian Shan made a salute.Under the calm face was full of doubts.Although my master's personality has become a lot more violent in the past two years, it's the first time I've seen something that can make him so angry.It seems that someone is doomed today.

Seeing that Xia Jinchai was so angry that he called the guards in, Yan Ruoling was frightened.What if I was called in and clicked on my own?No, no, it has nothing to do with me if I lose my teeth after eating, I can't die so unjustly!
Immediately, he also shouted in panic: "Liaoer, Liaoer!"

Liao Er had been guarding the door after serving the food.If it weren't for the old rough guard standing at the door, she might have already walked around the door countless times.

Now, she was so anxious that she finally waited for her master's call, and immediately opened the door with both hands, and walked in quickly.

"Miss!" Liao Er hurriedly called out just after entering the door.Because she was so nervous at this moment, she was so nervous that she was afraid that she would not speak at this time, and she would be excited if she spoke later, and it would be miserable if someone saw the clue.

"Tell me, what's the matter with this dish!" Xia Jinchai immediately understood that the beauty Yan Ruoling had been with him the entire time when she saw the maid, and she couldn't be blamed for the meal.So I turned my attention to Liao Er, who handled it.

Liao'er looked at Xia Jinchai's outstretched hand, and when he saw a mass of red, all the excitement and excitement disappeared in an instant.Some only tremble uncontrollably.

"Slave... I don't know..." The body trembled from head to toe, and the legs became weak from the beating.He immediately knelt down with a plop.

Teeth... actually broke a tooth of Lord Chai...

Yan Ruo was inspired to feel that Xia Jinchai no longer pursued this matter with him, and his heart just dropped to the ground.Instead, she saw Liao Er, the maid who was kneeling on the ground and trembling with fright. She felt that no matter whether it was related to her maid or not, she should take this opportunity to ask clearly to show her innocence.

"You don't know, so who knows?"

"Food... Liao'er brought the food from the kitchen..." Xia Jinchai's eyes were too harsh, and Liao'er lowered his head, and his voice became softer and softer.

Yan Ruoling didn't say anything this time, but turned sideways to look at Lord Chai.Because everyone knows what Liao Er's words mean.She doesn't have to rush to help and evade the past together.

Sure enough, Xia Jinchai raised his voice and ordered Xianshan to bring all the people from the kitchen.

Poor thing, it's noon when it's almost time for dinner, and everyone in the kitchen is either very busy at this moment, or they are exhausted after doing rough work all morning and waiting for their lunch break.Unexpectedly, just when everyone was about to stop their busy work, or when they were about to get their jobs, Lord Chai's personal bodyguard came to ask him to interrogate him.

"My lord, I am wronged, my lord!" Widow Chen, who was arrested just after stepping into the backyard, cried out when she saw Xia Jinchai from a distance.

"The food is not clean, why should there be any injustice!"

Widow Chen was dumbfounded.What?The food is not clean?How dare you arrest a group of people like yourself just for the hygiene of the food?

No, usually the kitchen is very particular, why did something happen when I went out by myself today?Even if something happens, how big can it be?You can't come up with something so bad that people can be eaten to death, crippled and poisoned, right?What's more, there is no overnight food in my kitchen at all, and the group of people under him are like reincarnated starving ghosts. No matter how much food they eat in a day, they can be divided up in an instant.

"Go back to the lord, Aunt Chen wasn't there at the time." Liao'er raised her drooping head a little, there was no need to pull so many people in.All pulled in, who organizes and who does the logistical work in the kitchen, do the girls in this building still have water to drink, bathe and eat?
"Then, who was there?"

Xia Jinchai caught a glimpse of that little figure again.Although at this time she is not as lonely and attracts attention as the previous few times, her petiteness still makes her stand out among a bunch of thick men and old women.

Kneeling Liao Er turned around, carefully scanned the kitchen workers who were blocking the doorway and refused to go any further, then raised her index finger and pointed at three people: "She, her, him!"

Although Xia Jinchai made things difficult for Bai Jiujiu several times, when Bai Jiujiu saw the domineering him again, her soft little heart still thumped faster.

"Jiujiu!" Grandma Zhu, who walked in together, saw that Bai Jiujiu dared to lose her mind in this situation, and immediately clapped her hands and called her softly.

"Ah?" Bai Jiujiu looked at Granny Zhu in confusion.Thought she had something to explain.

"Prince Chai hasn't spoken yet, and you two servants are chattering below, don't you take him seriously?" Before Granny Zhu could speak, Yan Ruoling, who was standing next to Xia Jinchai, spoke with a straight face. .

"no!"

"That's not the case!" Bai Jiujiu and Granny Zhu replied in unison.

Yan Ruoling wanted to take this opportunity to preview the posture of the hostess of Prince Chai's mansion, but Lord Chai waved at her, signaling not to suspend this topic, and let her get back to business.

"Liao'er, keep talking." Yan Ruoling could only take a step back resentfully, and then ordered her maid to continue the unfinished accusation just now.
