The Physicist Wife Who Overturned The World Novel - Chapter 275

Chapter 275: Stealing Food

The people outside trembled. No matter how much they craved the food inside, they stood in place and did not dare to act recklessly. Some people even placed their hopes on Yi Fentian, Bai Han, and others. There was also Xue Hanxi. After all, he belonged to the same clan as Xue Fanxin. If he put in a word or two, her mind might change

“Young Master Xue, why don’t you talk to Xue Fanxin and let her share some of the food with us? After all, everyone is hungry, and some are about to starve to death.”

“Da Niu hasn’t eaten for three days and has only drunk some leftover soup. I don’t know what’s going on recently, but the fish in the lake are getting harder and harder to catch. They must have gotten smarter. If this continues, we’ll starve to death soon.”

Thinking about their bleak future, everyone felt uncomfortable.

While the crowd outside was discussing, the people inside ate with relish. Forget about Gu Jinyuan and Ah Wei, who had been hungry for a long time, even Ye Jiushang ate more than usual.

A certain lord was very picky. He rarely ate, but he ate quite a lot this time, gorging down a large bowl of rice, as well as all kinds of meat and vegetables.

Little Lei ate the most. Previously, he looked down on the radishes and tofu that Xue Fan was cutting up, but now, no matter how much there was, it was not enough for him. Especially after learning how to eat hotpot, he felt that even vegetables were delicious.

“The last piece of radish is mine. No one is to snatch it from me.” Seeing that there was only one last radish left in the pot, he immediately declared it his, reaching out with his chopsticks to pick it up. However, someone was faster.

Ye Jiushang’s chopsticks were like lightning. No one saw how he moved his chopsticks. They only saw him elegantly eating the radish he had just picked up from the pot. His unhurried manners made it difficult to imagine that he also liked to snatch food.

“Master…” Little Lei wanted to cry but had no tears. He watched as Ye Jiushang ate his radish and did not dare to say a word.

“Didn’t you say that you would only eat those three roasted rabbits?” Ye Jiushang said leisurely.

Little Lei was rendered speechless. He could only look sadly at a certain lord eating delicious food.

If he knew that the hotpot was so delicious, how could he have said those words?

Everyone ate their fill. They were now in the mood to admire Little Lei’s depressed and cute appearance. The more they looked, the more interesting they found it.

At this moment, someone else ‘barged in.’

Although it was not considered barging in and more like walking in, he had come uninvited. Furthermore, the other party had not even knocked on the door.

There were quite a few people who came this time. Soon, the medium-sized room was filled. They were almost all famous people from the four great families. There were both old and young people, including the two old men who had been kicked into the lake by Little Lei previously.

The two old men did not dare to act arrogantly, but their gazes were still unfriendly. Once they had the chance, they would definitely torture their enemies to death.

“What are you doing here?” Gu Jinyuan questioned unhappily. His hatred for the four great clans had reached the extreme, especially that Yi Fentian.

Ever since he found out that Yi Fentian was Yi Tian, he despised this person to the core.

Back when he was in the Nanling Empire, he had once investigated Xue Fanxin, so he knew how Yi Tian treated her. He was also aware of the disgusting and shameless dealings Yi Tian and Li Yaoyao had done.

No matter what, Xin’er had once saved Yi Tian. Yi Tian now knew the truth, but when the violent wind came, he actually did not care about her at all and ran to save his life alone. He had never thought of giving up the stone house.

Such a selfish person was not worthy of Xin’er.

Even though Yi Fentian had already realized that his previous actions had been ridiculously wrong, when he saw Xue Fanxin and Ye Jiushang sitting together intimately, his heart was filled with anger. He did not think about what was right or wrong anymore and only thought about how to snatch Xue Fanxin back.

He did not believe that with his status as the Young Master of the Yi family, he could not compare to a Ninth Imperial Uncle.
