Yang Ruoqing covered her stomach, which was already growling with hunger, and said to Luo Fengtang: "My good general, can you not open a certain pot and pick up a certain pot?"

"The reason why I asked the sister-in-law just now to cook is because I wanted to grab a few bites of food before I saw Xu Dakui."

"When I met Xu Dakui, I was so hungry that my intestines were green. I probably couldn't eat even half a mouthful. But I was really hungry. We still ate in the morning. I don't believe you are not hungry! How dare you say that?

Aren't you hungry? Do you dare?"

Luo Fengtang was amused by her appearance, and couldn't help but raise his hand to rub her head: "Okay, if you don't tell me secret words, I'm actually hungry too."

Yang Ruoqing said with a smile: "I haven't eaten for a whole day, it would be strange if I'm not hungry."

Soon, the peasant woman from before had brought two large open bowls over.

"Life at home is tight, and we don't have enough money to buy anything decent for the Chinese New Year. This is what we can barely afford. Don't be disgusted by the two distinguished guests. Let's just eat a few bites to satisfy our appetites!"

The peasant woman said, placing two large bowls in front of Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang.

Through the dim soybean oil lamp on the table, Yang Ruoqing could see clearly that they were two large bowls of egg fried rice.

It should be fried in lard, the golden catkins are eggs, and the green ones are chopped green onions.

There were several pieces of pork belly neatly placed on the bowls for both of them. In addition, there were also a piece of white radish stir-fried with chili noodles, pickled cucumber strips, and pickled salted chive flowers.

Whether it was because she had been hungry all day or because she was confused by the lard and egg fried rice in such hazy light, Yang Ruoqing suddenly felt that she was extremely hungry.

I thanked him hastily, picked up one of the bowls, and ate it.

Not to mention, the scrambled eggs taste really good, the smoked pork belly is chewy, and the side dishes are also delicious.

Especially when paired with egg fried rice, more than half of a bowl of rice will be gone in a blink of an eye.

"I'm full, here are these for you."

Luo Fengtang gave Yang Ruoqing more than half of the egg fried rice in his bowl, and also gave her a few pieces of pork belly.

Yang Ruoqing said: "I'm full too, how come you're full after just a few bites? Eat more!"

She wanted to give him something from her bowl, but he avoided her.

"I still prefer to eat the egg fried rice you made, Qing'er." He said.

He said it directly in front of the peasant woman and her husband.

This makes Yang Ruoqing both sweet and a little embarrassed.

She glanced at the couple, then secretly glared at Luo Fengtang.

Luo Fengtang grinned.

In this regard, Yang Ruoqing expressed her helplessness.

The peasant woman and her husband also pretended not to notice. They both stood by the door with their heads down, silent, but they were thinking in their hearts that this majestic general really doted on his wife!

After eating and drinking, and taking a few sips of hot tea, Yang Ruoqing felt much more comfortable.

Next, it would be comfortable if I could wash my face with hot water, scald my feet with hot water, and then lie down in bed to sleep.

The food cooked by this peasant woman was clean, and although the house looked poor at first glance, it was kept relatively well and neatly. During the meal earlier, there were two children peeking out from the door of the house.

Then the woman drove her back to another room to sleep. Although the clothes the child wore were shabby, they were clean, which showed that the woman was doing a good job in running the house.

Well, if possible, I'll just sleep here tonight.

As soon as this thought came to her mind, the peasant woman came over and took the initiative to extend an invitation to stay overnight.

Yang Ruoqing naturally agreed happily, saying, "In this case, I will bother my sister-in-law."

The peasant woman smiled and said, "It's an honor for our family that these two noble men can stay overnight in my house despite their disdain. You two sit down first, and I'm going to make the bed. It happened to be a good day last year, so I washed the sheets and quilts."

"

The peasant woman left to prepare the bedding, but Xu Dakui was dragged over by another couple who had tipped off the news.

"General Luo, Mrs. Luo, and Xu Dakui are here," they said.

Yang Ruoqing nodded, and they escorted Xu Dakui to Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang.

Although Xu Dakui had changed into dry clothes at this time, water was still dripping from his hair.

As soon as his captor let go, he slumped to the ground like a piece of marshmallow, arms folded together, his whole body trembling with cold, and his teeth chattering.

His face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, and the corners of his lips were also blue.

"Xu Dakui, are we meeting again? Have a great New Year. I wish you a happy New Year, and I wish you a Happy New Year for Xiaohua and Daan!"

Yang Ruoqing put her hands together, bowed symbolically to Xu Dakui, and joked.

Xu Dakui looked up at Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang, trying to apologize, but it was so cold that his facial muscles were twitching, so his smile looked weird.

Just like...the legendary Two-skinned Face.

"I, I was wrong..." After these few days of wandering and the near-death struggle in the latrine, Xu Dakui's consciousness suddenly became higher.

He admitted his mistake without waiting for cross-examination by Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang.

Moreover, he struggled to get up and knelt down to Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang again. He raised his hand and slapped his face hard twice.

My cheeks were swollen at that time.

"I drank too much cat urine that day. I shouldn't have let my temper hit the flowers by mistake, and I shouldn't have just drank and ignored my son-in-law. I deserve to die. I deserve to die. I beg the general and his wife to punish me.

Well, no matter what the punishment, I will accept it! If you ask me to die, I will die!"

As Xu Dakui spoke, tears and runny nose flowed out.

In the eyes of outsiders, is Xu Dakui so remorseful that he bursts into tears and plans to change his past?

But Yang Ruoqing felt that Xu Dakui had a cold...

"Xu Dakui, we don't care about your dog's life. You can put your heart in your stomach. We won't take your life." Yang Ruoqing said slowly.

Although Xu Dakui had already completely chilled Xiaohua, chilling was one thing. Yang Ruoqing could not really kill Xu Dakui no matter what she said.

After all, he is Xiaohua's biological father. When she kills Xu Dakui, it is equivalent to Xiaohua killing Xu Dakui in disguise. This is patricide!

This kind of thing cannot be done. If it is spread to the capital, and heard by people with ulterior motives, it may become a lever to attack Da'an.

Yang Ruoqing had already thought of the best way to punish Xu Dakui.

"Xu Dakui, don't be too happy too early. Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided."

The conversation changed and Yang Ruoqing continued.

The trace of luck that had just arisen in Xu Dakui's mind was immediately shattered. His heart was clenching again. He secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at Yang Ruoqing pitifully.

Yang Ruoqing twitched her lips, "I asked you to do three things. If you do these three things well, I will not hold you responsible for murdering the imperial official. If you can't do it, then we will see you at the Yamen."

The Yamen will punish you according to the rules and regulations!"
