Chapter 146 - Xu Na’er’s End (1)
Early the next morning, Leng Ruoxue got up, washed up, left her room, and went straight to the dining room.
“Miss.” Everyone greeted Leng Ruoxue as she entered the dining room.
“Morning.” Leng Ruoxue nodded and sat down in her seat.
“Why is breakfast so sumptuous today?” Leng Ruoxue was a little surprised. Can they really eat this much?
“Miss, these are all made by Big Brother Wang and the others. They are the fruits of their learning these days, and they made them for you to grade their work,” Feng Da said with a smile. The Big Brother Wang he was talking about was one of those disabled soldiers. During this period of time, their young lady had arranged for them to learn how to cook from the chefs in the mansion. After the restaurant opened in the future, they would naturally be the chefs of the restaurant.
“They look good. Let me try them.” Leng Ruoxue picked up a piece of almond pastry and took a bite. The almond flavor was very rich, crispy, and not very sweet. She then tried the other snack dishes separately.
“Not bad. Breakfast passed.” Leng Ruoxue nodded in satisfaction. She had carefully selected these future chefs, and they were all very talented in cooking. They really didn’t disappoint her.
“Big Brother Wang, did you hear that?!” Feng Da suddenly shouted.
Just as Feng Da finished speaking, twenty people walked in. The middle-aged man leading the group knelt down in front of Leng Ruoxue, and the people behind him followed suit.
“Thank you for your kindness, Miss,” the middle-aged man said gratefully.
“I said before, don’t kneel down casually,” Leng Ruoxue reminded.
“We don’t know how to thank Miss for your kindness, so please don’t decline,” the middle-aged man said stubbornly.
“Alright. Just this once. There won’t be a next time.” Leng Ruoxue understood how they felt, but she hadn’t thought of asking them to repay her when she helped them.
“Feng Da, the decor of the restaurant should be almost finished, right?” Leng Ruoxue asked after Big Brother Wang and the others left.
“Miss, don’t worry. It won’t affect the grand opening. It will be completed in a week at most,” Feng Da explained.
“Okay.” Leng Ruoxue nodded. She was very confident in Feng Da.
“Feng Da, when you’re done here, go out and experience the world!” Leng Ruoxue said after some thought. She had planned this some time ago. But in order to help the soldiers under her grandfather, the training experience of Feng Da and the others was temporarily postponed.
“Okay,” Feng Da quickly replied. After he was finished here, he would lead a team to do mercenary missions and try to make the Blazing Flame Mercenary Group an A-rank mercenary group.
After breakfast, Leng Ruoxue and Feak went to the dungeon.
As soon as she entered the dungeon, a pungent stench assaulted her nose. She covered her mouth and nose and looked around.
The dungeon was much cleaner than she had imagined. But because it was dark, damp, and windless, the dim dungeon had a moldy smell.
The two quickly walked to the cell where Seventh Prince Li Yu was locked. Li Yu was still tied up into a dumpling and thrown on the ground very casually.
Leng Ruoxue looked at the unconscious Li Yu and hit him with her spiritual power without hesitation.
“Ah, it hurts.” Li Yu slowly woke up from his coma due to the pain. He looked around in confusion. Where am I? Why am I here? His head hurt.
“Leng Ruoxue, why are you here?” When his gaze landed on Leng Ruoxue standing not far away, yesterday’s memories flooded into his mind.
Yesterday… Yesterday…
“What did you do? What did you do to me? How dare you!” Li Yu roared hysterically. He found it unbelievable that what happened last night was true. How could he, the dignified seventh prince, be tied up like a dumpling and locked in this godforsaken place? No, he didn’t want to stay here. He wanted to go out. He was the seventh prince, the talented seventh prince. He couldn’t stay here.
“Do you still think you are the noble seventh prince? You are only my prisoner now.” Leng Ruoxue smiled disdainfully. This seventh prince might have good aptitude, but he was really not cut out to be an emperor because he couldn’t discern situations clearly.
“What did you do to me? What about my mother? She won’t allow you to treat me like this, and neither will Imperial Father. They won’t let you go,” the seventh prince threatened.
“They can’t even protect themselves, so they don’t have the time to care about your life or death.” Leng Ruoxue really didn’t want to break this child’s daydream, but she had no choice. She was an honest person!
“What do you mean? Could the crown prince have also attacked them? No, that’s impossible. The crown prince isn’t so bold. You’re lying to me, aren’t you?” The seventh prince stared at Leng Ruoxue expectantly, wanting to see the panic on her face when her lie was exposed. Unfortunately…
“The current emperor of the Eastern Lagoon Empire is Li Yuan,” Leng Ruoxue said indifferently.
“No, you’re lying to me. It’s not true.” He didn’t want to believe Leng Ruoxue’s words at all. He believed that the crown prince would want to get rid of him, but was it possible that the crown prince wouldn’t even let their imperial father go?
“It’s up to you to believe it or not.” Leng Ruoxue had always looked down on people who refused to face reality.
“Let’s go!” Leng Ruoxue turned to Freak.
“Okay.”
“Wait, wait.” Li Yu hurriedly called out to stop them just as they were about to leave the cell.
“What? Is there something else?” Leng Ruoxue asked impatiently with a slight frown.
“I… I want to know how my mother is,” Li Yu asked after some hesitation.
“What do you think will happen to her?” Leng Ruoxue asked in return. Li Yuan might not kill his father, but he would never let that woman go.
After speaking, Leng Ruoxue pulled Freak away and left the cell, leaving Li Yu in a daze.
“Xue’er, are we just going to lock him up like this?” Freak asked in puzzlement after exiting the cell. He thought Xue’er would teach that annoying fellow a ruthless lesson.
