Chapter 714 - 713: The Beauty Trap
Mother Lang Hao slapped Lang Hao’s back, "Are you dead or what? What’s with the young master, you’re with him all day, and you don’t know? And you come asking me? How the heck did I give birth to such a clueless numbskull? What did Madam tell you when you first left? She told you to be extremely careful and attentive in serving him! And you, you couldn’t even tell if the young master had lost his appetite because he was feeling unwell or if he had been upset at the academy?"
After saying that, she angrily picked up a pot shovel, ready to smash it down.
Lang Hao quickly protected his head and ducked behind his father, "Dad, save me—"
Lang Hao’s dad chuckled naively, reaching out a hand to stop his wife, "Wife, don’t beat the child. He’s still young, and we can teach him slowly. Let’s eat first. After we’re done, I’ll go with Lang Hao to the young master’s room to see how he is, and you should make a soup for the young master later, in case he gets hungry from reading late into the night."
Mother Lang Hao then reluctantly put down the pot shovel and set out the bowls and chopsticks.
The family of three relied on the young master’s blessing to be able to live together, and they felt very grateful in their hearts.
Therefore, they took care of the young master with great attention, especially with food. Mother Lang Hao would go out early every morning to buy the freshest vegetables just brought into the city, and she would make soup for their young master every two to three days, fearing that he wouldn’t eat well.
As for the three of them, they always remembered their place and didn’t let the kindness of the young master make them forget who they were. The monthly rations were fixed, and whatever the young master didn’t finish eating, he would give to their family.
Mother Lang Hao was also quite scheming, as long as her son stayed loyal and diligent while following the young master, he was sure to be well-treated in the future.
She no longer dwelled on petty profits but focused on serving the young master well. She hoped that once the young master passed his exams and returned to the residence, the lord and Madam would be generous in their rewards because they had served well, which might be enough for her son to find a wife.
Concerned about Gu Zikai’s health, Mother Lang Hao noticed that he had barely touched his food. The leftovers from Zikai’s meals were what their family trio would eat. To them, being able to eat the leftovers of their master was a blessing, for these were fine things.
