Chapter 360: Chapter 338: Pranking_1
What’s the meaning of ‘There are no three hundred taels of silver buried here’?
Daohua’s behavior at this moment was just that.
Originally, everyone thought the birthday gift she gave was a bit special, but after listening to her explanation, suddenly, they had a moment of enlightenment.
Watching the Little Prince’s face turn from red to green, and then back to red again, Yan Wenxiu directly covered his head and shifted his gaze to the side.
He was certain now, his eldest sister and fourth brother were both fools.
Even Yan Wenkai, who was usually casual and carefree, now felt like kneeling down to his own sister.
Dong Yuanyao and the others were first stunned, then all covered their mouths and started to chuckle quietly.
Seeing the most delicate and gentle Su Shiyu laughing so hard her shoulders twitched, Daohua also realized the foolish thing she had done. She lifted her fan to cover her face, not daring to look at Xiao Yeyang’s expression.
Yan Wenkai, who after all felt sympathy for his sister, faced Xiao Yeyang’s fierce gaze and said with determined courage, “Little Prince, let’s cut the cake, I’m drooling already.”
Zhou Jingwan, who also loved to eat, stopped laughing and followed up with, “That’s right, that’s right, Little Prince, let’s finish off this pig head cake, out of sight, out of mind.”
As soon as her words ended, Zhou Jingwan received a speechless collective gaze from everyone.
Zhou Chengye looked at his sister somewhat helplessly. If his sister didn’t have a good head on her shoulders, who was to blame?
It was truly a case of mentioning what should not be mentioned!
Zhou Jingwan shrank her neck and walked over to Daohua, and the two exchanged a silent gaze before quickly looking away again.
Alas, both of them were unlucky today, having taken a tumble.
Seeing everyone’s gaze converging on Daohua and Zhou Jingwan, Jiang Wanying furrowed her brows and stood up with a smile, “Yeyang, no matter what, this is Miss Yan’s thoughtfulness, although a bit…”
She paused.
“How about we take it away?”
As soon as she finished speaking, she beckoned a maid to take the cake away.
Just as the maid reached out, she heard Xiao Yeyang say coldly, “Do you not want these hands anymore?”
The maid immediately knelt down on the ground, “Little Prince, forgive me.”
Xiao Yeyang cast a glance at De Fu and said expressionlessly, “Take her away.”
“Yeyang…”
Watching De Fu drag the maid out of the pavilion, Jiang Wanying was stunned.
That was her maid!
The others in the pavilion were also shocked, as no one expected Xiao Yeyang to turn his face so suddenly.
Daohua stole a glance at the scene, with no intention of meddling in the affair.
She had understood the meaning behind Jiang Wanying’s words just now; this person almost directly said that the cake she made was not presentable.
Xiao Yeyang didn’t look at Jiang Wanying. He stood up, took the cake knife, and began to cut the cake, slicing off the part with ‘Xiao Yeyang’ written on it and handed it to Daohua.
“Finish this piece.”
Daohua stared blankly at Xiao Yeyang, eyes widening, “Such a big piece, how can I finish it?”
Xiao Yeyang just held the cake, silent, looking at Daohua.
Daohua didn’t want to take it at all, but seeing Xiao Yeyang with an indomitable attitude and everyone watching her, she reluctantly reached out her hand.
No sooner had she taken the cake, she felt her hand being pressed down, almost losing her grip.
“If you drop this piece of cake, you’ll eat the rest,” Xiao Yeyang said indifferently.
Daohua’s emerging thought was mercilessly squashed, and she glared fiercely at her fourth brother. If it wasn’t for him bringing the cake over, would she be in this situation?
Yan Wenkai awkwardly turned his head away, touched his nose, and didn’t dare to look at his sister.
Feeling the weighty burden in her hand, Daohua was truly crying inside. If she had known earlier, she would not have made a pig’s head cake. She looked up at Xiao Yeyang, making one last attempt for herself.
“I can’t finish it.”
Xiao Yeyang’s lips curled into a hint of a roguish smile, “I believe you can.”
Daohua felt exhausted, “Xiao Yeyang, if I get sick from eating too much, you will have to take responsibility.”
Xiao Yeyang nodded resolutely, “Okay, I will take responsibility for you.”
Seeing him like this, Daohua didn’t know what to do and looked helplessly towards her three older brothers.
“Cough cough~”
Seeing his little sister’s pitiful appearance, Yan Wenxiu felt that, as the eldest brother, he had to do something. However, as soon as he coughed, he saw the Little Prince’s gaze turn towards him.
“Sore throat? Do you need me to call the Imperial Physician for you?”
Yan Wenxiu shook his head with a wooden expression.
Xiao Yeyang then turned his gaze towards Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao, “How about you two? There’s nothing uncomfortable with you, right?”
The two of them shook their heads in unison.
It was over. This time the Little Prince was determined to deal with his sister.
Yan Wenkai gave Daohua a look of powerless sympathy, saying dryly, “The cake is quite delicious, big sister, just eat more of it.”
Seeing that she couldn’t rely on her brothers, Daohua turned to look at Dong Yuanxuan, Su Hongxin, and Zhou Chengye.
The three of them awkwardly smiled and averted their gazes.
Daohua, refusing to give up, shifted her gaze towards Dong Yuanyao and the others by her side.
Zhou Jingwan shrank her neck, “I would like to eat more, but the Little Prince won’t allow it.”
Dong Yuanyao and Su Shiyu were also silent with their heads lowered.
Don’t look at them; they were somewhat afraid to provoke the Little Prince now.
Rescue attempt failed!
Daohua looked dejectedly at the cake in her hand. She moved her lips, hesitated for quite a while, but couldn’t bring herself to take a bite.
There was no way around it, she really didn’t like eating cake!
She estimated the piece in her hand to be at least over two pounds in weight.
It was going to burst her!
At this moment, everyone in the pavilion was watching Daohua, and no one spoke. They could tell that the Yan Family girl had annoyed the Little Prince, and now he was punishing her.
Jiang Wanying saw Xiao Yeyang punishing Daohua, and she did not think of pleading for her.
It was a good opportunity to mitigate the impact of her maid being dragged away by Defu earlier.
Daohua gave Xiao Yeyang a resentful look, “Xiao Yeyang, if I eat this piece of cake, I will hate you.”
Xiao Yeyang remained unmoved and even smiled, “Feel free.”
“Sigh~”
Daohua sighed, picked up a spoon, and started eating bite by bite, “It’s okay if I eat slowly, right?”
“Sure, you can leave whenever you finish eating,” Xiao Yeyang said as if he was very reasonable.
Daohua didn’t speak anymore and, feeling disheartened, turned around to sit on the railing.
Seeing her obediently eating the cake, Xiao Yeyang’s mouth curled up slightly, and he turned to everyone else, “Everyone else, split the cakes and enjoy.” With that said, he personally started slicing the cake.
“That’s great, I’ve been wanting to try it,” Dong Yuanxuan quickly said with a laugh.
Su Hongxin also chimed in, “Yeah, yeah.”
Aside from the huge piece that Daohua had, everyone else got a small share, and soon, the cake was all divided up.
“Brother Yang, is this for me?”
Seeing Xiao Yeyang personally bring a piece of cake over to her, Jiang Wanying immediately showed a sweet smile on her face.
Xiao Yeyang nodded and handed over the cake to Jiang Wanying, then said in a low voice, “I don’t like others meddling in my affairs, nor do I like others making decisions for me. I don’t want to see anyone overstepping their bounds like today for a second time.”
The smile vanished from Jiang Wanying’s face in an instant, “Brother Yang, I…”
Xiao Yeyang raised his hand to cut off her explanation, “Your maid will be sent back to you when she leaves later. Defu will bring her to you.” After saying that, he turned and walked away.
