Chapter 564: Hu Feng is Prince Jin
Dumplings were delicious, especially with the new filling. The filling was different from the last time which was made of leeks. So they were robbed by Meng Nan and Jin Shiwei as soon as they were served.
Xian’er shouted in anger: “You two, why don’t you leave some for sister, she hasn’t eaten yet!”
Jin Shiwei said with a smile: “Your sister will bring another plate in a while.”
Both Xian’er and Ru’er like eating dumplings, so Bai Zhi prepared two extra portions for them.
Looking at the few pieces of dumplings left on the plate, Jin Shiwei felt wrong. They made a bunch of dumplings just now. Why they didn’t get extra portions?
“No more?” Jin Shiwei asked.
Bai Zhi shook her head: “I’ll make fried dumplings tomorrow morning. You can eat them on your way.”
Xian’er clapped her hands: “I like fried dumplings the most, it’s so delicious.”
Bai Zhi touched her head: “If you like it, eat more, you must grow taller.”
Xian’er nodded her head: “When my sister comes to see me, I must be tall.”
After eating, the sky outside was already dark. Meng Nan has no intention to leave. After taking a look upstairs, he decided to sleep on the third floor today.
Ruer’s temperament was not as outgoing as Xian’er. She wanted to tell Meng Nan that she and her mother lived on the third floor, but she couldn’t utter a word.
Xian’er said loudly: “There is no place for you to sleep on the third floor, neither on the second floor or the attic. You can only sleep on the terrace, but the terrace is very cold. You will turn into ice by then tomorrow morning, right?”
Meng Nan said with a smile: “Who said there is no place for me to sleep on the third floor? If you two sleep with Sister Sue, I’ll have a place to sleep, right?”
Thinking that Bai Zhi also lived in this house, Hu Changlin felt unhappy. So he said: “Hu Feng’s room is empty. You can go to my house and sleep there.”
Meng Nan was about to refuse, but Bai Zhi hurriedly said: “That is good. I’ll go get two quilts for the two of you.”
Everything was decided pleasantly… …
For Hu Changlin, Bai Zhi was his future daughter-in-law. Meng Nan’s intention was too obvious, so how can he feel at ease if Meng Nan stays over here? Even if nothing happens, this will taint Bai Zhi’s reputation.
Meng Nan was taken away by Hu Changlin. Hu Feng’s room was the same as before, clean and tidy. The bed was large enough for Meng Nan and Jin Shiwei to squeeze in for one night.
Hu Changlin brought the quilts that Bai Zhi sent for the two and made them a nice bed skillfully.
The oil lamp was lit in the room. The flickering dim light shone on Hu Changlin’s face.
His face was really difficult to compare with Hu Feng’s handsome face, who has a noble atmosphere.
Meng Nan suddenly thought of Prince Xiao, whom he had seen before. Since that day, doubt appeared in his heart. So when he saw Hu Changlin up close today, this doubt in his heart doubled.
Meng Nan asked Hu Changlin: “Listening to Bai Zhi, Hu Feng joined the army?”
Hu Changlin nodded his head: “Yes, it’s been a while since he left. I don’t know when he will come back.”
“You didn’t stop your son?” Meng Nan asked.
Hu Changlin sighed: “What’s the use of stopping him? He decided to go there himself. No one can stop him.”
He decided to go there himself? Why? Why did he join the army?
Meng Nan asked again: “You and Hu Feng look different. He must have resembled his mother.”
Hu Changlin smiled and shook his head: “No, no, how could I give birth to a son like him? Hu Feng was picked up by me. He is not my son.” After he finished saying those words, he remembered Bai Zhi’s instructions before, he shouldn’t be saying these words to outsiders, so he added: “Zhi’er told me not to talk about this thing. You shouldn’t talk about it.”
