Chapter 896 You Little Rascal
"You little rascal, this is the meal for over a dozen of us, and you finished it all by yourself. I hope you burst from overeating!"
Miss Qian from the Ministerial Mansion lost her temper on the spot. She had always been at odds with Situtu Qinger and naturally disliked Xuexue, who was the elder sister, and by extension, the Little Baby around her, so she started to make things difficult immediately.
Everyone else also found it unbelievable. They had only been talking with the Fourth Prince for less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, and this two or three-year-old Little Baby, a tiny figure, managed to eat all the meat dishes on the table. It was truly bewildering.
"Little brat, were you a starving ghost in your past life?" Other young ladies from well-off families also accused him; accustomed to luxury, they naturally had high standards for food.
Originally, they thought it wouldn’t matter if a small child ate first, assuming such a little kid wouldn’t eat much, but unexpectedly, he finished the meal meant for over a dozen people.
The Little Baby glanced at them and said in a babyish voice, "Look at how anxious you all are. It’s just a meal, what’s so shocking about that?"
Everyone blinked, unsure of how to react at that moment.
Miss Qian was furious, but couldn’t care less, "Ah! You little brat, you finished our meal, and you still think you’re in the right?"
"Today, the Fourth Prince is hosting the feast. Can’t he afford a meal for a little kid like me? Seeing your anxiety, it’s as if you’re implying that the Fourth Prince is stingy." Although the Little Baby’s voice was childish, his words hit the mark, and everyone’s expressions changed.
Indeed, having been invited by the Fourth Prince for a fall outing, it would be regrettable to upset him over a meal.
Miss Qian, being astute as well, avoided the sharp topic raised by the Little Baby, turned her head, and looked at Xuexue with disdain, "Miss Situ, you brought this little kid here, didn’t you? He’s being unreasonable, and you’re not managing him."
