Chapter 2511: Chapter 2512: Steal a Little Less?
Then, the city lord, with a head full of frustration, stood outside, locking eyes with his daughter-in-law inside.
Shortly after, Yue Chushui left, naturally, Baiqing left with Yue Chushui, and the city lord jumped in through the window again.
“You guys are really… I’ve never seen thieves as arrogant as you before!”
They’ve practically disrupted the peace of his Hongye Pavilion. The steward, knowing he couldn’t keep such a big thing under wraps, hurried to report to him.
As soon as he heard about this, he knew it must be the doing of his son and daughter-in-law.
But what could he do? He couldn’t just blurt it out. He had to put on an act with the steward, telling him to investigate this matter immediately, so as not to affect the mood of the alchemists and potion makers.
“Is it really that bad?”
After hearing his outraged words, Lin Caisang glanced at Sui Zimo nearby.
“Hmm.”
Sui Zimo raised his hand and gently pinched her cheek.
“The noodles will get soggy, hurry up and eat.”
“Oh right, I forgot I wanted to eat noodles.”
Reminded by him, Lin Caisang finally remembered her bowl of noodles.
She hurriedly picked up her chopsticks and started eating aggressively, completely ignoring her father-in-law sitting across from her.
City lord: “…”
Was he being treated as if he didn’t exist?
Also, what’s with “is it really that bad”? Didn’t they realize all the food in the kitchen had been stolen, leaving the alchemists and potion makers complaining?
Of course, not everything was stolen, only the spirited ingredients were taken.
But those alchemists and potion makers have such picky tastes, they barely touch food without spiritual energy. What’s worse, it’s an entire table of non-spiritual food?
The steward had no choice but to report it to him urgently.
“Can’t you… steal a little less?” he tried to ask them in a negotiating tone.
“If we steal a little less, how can we highlight their evil?” Lin Caisang, speaking with her mouth full of noodles, mumbled.
“Be good, you eat your noodles, and I’ll talk.”
Sui Zimo, seeing her look up, soothed her with a sentence, then turned a disapproving gaze toward the city lord.
“Hmm hmm.”
Lin Caisang nodded, then continued eating her noodles.
City lord: “!!!”
Although this son is indeed his son, through these days of interaction, he had long figured it out.
This daughter-in-law is the true representative of his son; whatever she says represents all of his son’s thoughts. As for what his son says to him… it’s pitifully little!
If Sui Zimo did say anything to him, he doubted if it would be anything noteworthy!
“Why did you come?”
Sure enough, as soon as Sui Zimo spoke, a cold statement like a bucket of ice water was thrown out.
The city lord almost burst into tears, wanting dearly to reply, “Can’t this city lord just come to see his son without it being a big deal?”
But now is not the time to pout and say these things, he thought to himself.
“There is something, according to reports, Lu Tianfeng is missing.”
He said to Sui Zimo.
“Hmm?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Caisang froze with a mouthful of noodles, looking up at Lu Tianlan.
“Isn’t…”
After a while, she hurriedly swallowed the noodles and chewed vigorously.
“Take your time eating, Lu Tianfeng isn’t going to get far.”
