After the milk ball arrived, the father who had no heirs had a string of good luck.

"What's wrong?" Situ An, carrying his own food box, sat down beside her. He glanced at her food box, his expression changing drastically. "Who's so inconsiderate?"

Inside Tang Rui's food box, a bunch of drowned ants floated on the fragrant braised chicken, dead flies swarmed on the braised beef, and a dead rat sat on the golden roast chicken.

"What's going on?" Gu Nanyu and the other kids also arrived. They came over and took a look. Their expressions were strange. They looked at Situ Qiang almost instantly.

Situ Qiang made no attempt to hide her schadenfreude: "A bastard is a bastard, it's disgusting that he actually likes to eat these things."

The other girls, who were also confused, looked at Tang Rui with suspicion.

Is this... real?

Are you that picky about food?

They looked disgusting, yet Tang Rui actually liked to eat them.

Poor Tang Rui, she didn't cry when her master kicked her, she didn't cry when she was bitten by a snake, but now that she saw her delicious food turned into this, she finally couldn't hold back and burst into tears.

She really didn't want to cry, but she couldn't control her emotions and anger at all.

"Don't cry, don't cry, I'll give you my food." Situ An kept wiping her tears, but the more he wiped, the more tears she shed.

Seeing Tang Rui sad, Situ Qiang expressed her happiness.

Situ Jin laughed so hard she almost fell over, clapping her hands and laughing at her: "Disgusting bastard, loves to eat rats, hahaha..."

Tang Rui pushed Situ An away, burst into tears, picked up her food box, and threw it all at Situ Jin.

Situ Jin was stunned when soup and water splashed all over his face and a dead rat was stuck on his head.

After regaining his senses, he quickly shook off the dead rat from his head and pointed at Tang Rui menacingly: "What's wrong with you?"

Situ Qiang also angrily said, "Tang Rui, how dare you bully my brother? Apologize to him."

"Dao... Waaah... Dao my ass..."

Tang Rui wiped away her tears, clenched her small fists, and tried hard to control the urge to cry. She said firmly, "You ruined my food, and you want me to apologize? No way!"

A flicker of guilt flashed across Situ Jin's eyes, but she roared back even louder, "Bullshit! What proof do you have?"

"..." Besides you guys, who else is this bored?

Tang Rui: "Then what evidence do you have to prove that you didn't do it?"

"You..." Situ Jin choked.

Situ Qiang's face darkened: "Tang Rui, don't slander good people. My brother and I have been in class the whole time. How could we have had time to put those things in your lunchbox?"

"Did you really need to do it yourselves? It's fine if you don't admit it, but you dared to ruin my food. I'm not coming to the Imperial Academy anymore. I'm going home. If Grandfather asks, I'll tell the truth. He'll naturally send someone to investigate. Or do you think you've covered your tracks perfectly, that even Grandfather can't find out?"

Tang Rui wiped away her tears again, jumped off the stool, and walked outside.

They're just kids, they don't have any deep scheming minds.

Startled by Tang Rui, Situ Jin panicked and shouted without thinking, "Stop right there!"

"You think you can just stop because you tell me to? Who do you think you are? No way! I want to go home, waaaaah..." Tang Rui ran off quickly, disappearing from sight.

"Situ Jin, Situ Qiang, I will report this matter to the Emperor after we return to the palace. You'd better watch yourselves." Situ An threw down a harsh remark and quickly chased after them.

Situ Jin's face turned pale upon hearing this.

Every single one of those young people here is a shrewd individual; Situ Jin's actions have already explained everything.

"Deceiving the Emperor is a crime of treason!" Gu Nanyu glanced at Situ Jin with a half-smile, then leisurely picked up his food box, found a seat, and began to eat by himself.

The other radish heads exchanged glances and then dispersed.

Upon hearing this, Situ Jin's face turned even paler, and she almost immediately abandoned the idea of ​​lying.

But... what should I do?

"Sister..." Situ Jin looked at Situ Qiang, almost crying.

Situ Qiang glared at him, exasperated, and whispered, "What are you afraid of? Just tell your men to keep their mouths shut!"

"But... if my grandfather really asks, my men wouldn't dare to deceive the emperor!"

"Grandpa Emperor is so busy with state affairs, how could he possibly concern himself with such trivial matters? Tang Rui is just trying to scare you."

In truth, Situ Qiang wasn't sure either, but for now, she could only reassure her younger brother: "Even if Grandfather really asks, you can just tell the truth. You're still Grandfather's grandson; surely he wouldn't abandon you for this, would he?"

"That's true..." Situ Jin was comforted, but she didn't expect the consequences to be so serious.

...

Situ An caught up with Tang Rui at the entrance of the Imperial Academy: "You're just a little kid, don't run around like that!"

Tang Rui pouted, her eyes brimming with tears, and her stomach rumbled at just the right moment: "But I want to go home."

Situ An said helplessly, "The roast duck at Qunyinglou is quite good. How about I treat you to some? I'll take you home after you finish eating."

"Great! Uncle, you're so kind!" If there's food, why not take it?

Situ An was unaware of the terrifying appetite of the little bun in front of him.

He sent one servant to inform Scholar Zhou, and another servant to bring a carriage with the little boy to Qunyinglou.

then…

I watched helplessly as the little dumpling showed off seven roast ducks!

Situ Anquan was completely dumbfounded!

Tang Rui wiped her mouth, looked at the mess on the table, and felt a little embarrassed: "Little Imperial Uncle, did I eat too much?"

Situ An closed his mouth with his hand, his face blank: "No, I was just curious where you ate."

Although its belly is round and plump, it doesn't look like it can hold seven roast ducks, does it?

"I don't know either! I've always had a big appetite!" Tang Rui said, then patted her belly and gave him a toothless smile. "Thank you for the hospitality, Little Imperial Uncle. Would you like to come to my house? I'll have my nanny make you some milk tea."

"Milk tea?" Situ An's attention was indeed diverted. "What's that?"

"Come on, you'll see when you get there!"

Tang Rui brought Situ An back to the Li Prince's residence. When Rong Mama saw Tang Rui return, she was taken aback for a moment: "Young Master, didn't you... go to the Imperial Academy? Why are you out of school so early?"

"Don't mention it..." Tang Rui sighed like a little adult, "Granny, my little uncle brought me back, could I make him some milk tea to try?"

"Of course you can!" Did Rong Momo dare to say no?

"Eleventh Prince, please have a seat. This old servant will make you some milk tea right away!"

After speaking, Rong Momo curtsied to the Eleventh Prince and left Cuiwei Pavilion. She immediately called a servant to report the matter to the Princess.

By the time she finished making the milk tea and brought it over, Princess Li had already arrived, accompanied by Consort Zhu, Consort Li, and Consort Zhang.

Her young master was nestled in the princess's arms, crying and complaining.

Princess Li trembled with rage: "How dare they bully a five-year-old child? Have they no shame?"
