Chapter 497: Temptation, principled person (Part 1)
If everything moves as Prince Fushou Zhang had planned, she wonât reach up to this point⦠â¦
Not to mention, Lin Chujiu knew what Prince Fushou Zhang was thinking. Even if she was not aware of it, she will not make trouble with Lin Wanting in a public place. This was not Xiao w.a.n.gfu.
Seeing Prince Fushou Zhang dragging her to this matter, Lin Chujiu didnât immediately answer. Instead, she looked at Lin Wanting, who was slightly dissatisfied and said: âIf you have a serious illness, you should go less in public. The Eldest Princess is so generous and didnât punish you. If itâs someone else, you will immediately be punished. You should hurry and thank the Eldest Princess.â
Because her scolding tone was full of momentum, it made Lin Wanting felt indignant. However, considering her situation, Lin Wanting could only grit her teeth and thanked Prince Fushou Zhang as mentioned by Lin Chujiu.
Prince Fushou Zhang didnât expect that the topic will be kicked back to her again, she smiled but she didnât linger with the topic again. She only let Lin Wanting remained standing. She was extremely dissatisfied with Lin Wanting and Mrs. Lin.
She canât even do such a trivial matter, but expecting to marry the Crown Prince as the main wife? Lin Wanting was simply dreaming.
The conversation before the dinner came to an end when the maidservants came in and served the hot dishes on the table one by one. One of the striking dishes was the braised bear paw placed in front of Lin Chujiu.
The huge bear paw occupies the entire plate. Its thick wine soup sprinkled with green coriander has overbearing fragrance. However, when this fragrance entered their noses, it instantly attracts everyoneâs attention.
Prince Fushou Zhang played her role as the host and introduced the dishes: âThis bear was especially hunted yesterday. You should try it Chujiu. This dish is specially prepared for you.â
After all, it was an apology banquet. If you canât apologize directly, you should show apologizing means. Even if Prince Fushou Zhang doesnât like it, she has to do a good job.
Lin Chujiu took a glance at her and removed her gaze: âThe Eldest Princess has taken great pains.â
âI just give an order to my servants, what trouble is there. Come on, everyone, try it.â When Prince Fushou Zhang said those words, the maidservant stepped forward and divided the big bear paw into several pieces. Each person has a bowl. The largest one was given to Lin Chujiu.
For such a thing like a bear paw, Lin Chujiu admitted that she was curious. She has never eaten a bear paw even after reaching this age.
After putting a small piece to her mouth, Lin Chujiu nodded in satisfaction: It was indeed a dish that will be praised by gluttonous people, it was very delicious.
The soft meat seems to be getting thickened in the mouth, while the unique fragrance makes the tip of the nose itchy. They canât help but close their eyes and savor the delicious food at this moment.
Lin Chujiu was immersed in the temptation of food, but was interrupted by Prince Fushou Zhangâs disgusting voice: âHowâs the taste?â
âVery good.â Lin Chujiu praised sincerely.
Upon hearing this, Princess Fushou was overjoyed: âChujiu, itâs good that you like it. The bear that they caught yesterday is still alive. The remaining paw hasnât been chopped off yet. If you like it, I will send it to Xiao w.a.n.gfu. You can keep it and enjoy eating it.â
âChopping off the living bear?â Lin Chujiu suddenly felt that the bear paw she was chewing was like poison, and no longer find it delicious.
She has no hypocritical compa.s.sion. She can eat pork, chicken, and bear meat, but⦠â¦
Slaughtering animals bit by bit, she canât have the heart to accept it.
âOf course, it is alive. It wonât be fresh if itâs dead.â When Prince Fushou Zhang said those words, Lin Chujiu just nodded her head but didnât say another word.
But her silence didnât give off to the tranquility she deserved. Prince Fushou Zhang put down her chopsticks and unhappily said: âWhy? Chujiu, do you think Iâm cruel?â
