Senior Servant Zhong’s letter was written as if she were talking, devoid of any flowery language.

As he read, He Sanlang could clearly feel Senior Servant Zhong’s joy and gratitude.

This was what was written in the letter.

“This old servant didn’t know about Third Young Madam’s great culinary skills. The meals in Songtao Court are different every time. Third Young Madam understands and sympathises with us lowly servants, so this old servant was also blessed with the chance to taste her delicious food. With this old servant’s age and old teeth, it was the shredded chicken noodles that suited my tastes the most. No, no, there were also the silver floss flower rolls… the poria mushroom buns were good, too. After living for so long, it was the first time this old servant experienced such appetite! This old servant has to be frank; the hour that this old servant looks forward to the most is meal time…”

There was still a huge paragraph at the end. Perhaps it was because Senior Servant Zhong couldn’t stop writing once she started talking about Third Young Madam’s cooking. When she finally came to her senses and realised that she had written far too much, the only thing she could do was forcefully change the topic.

“Third Young Madam is someone who likes to eat a lot. While Third Young Master is at the northern border, please don’t worry about Third Young Madam’s health. Young Master, please take care of yourself and eat more every day…”

He Changdi felt the urge to spit up blood; he barely managed to rein in his frustrations. This Senior Servant Zhong! After mentioning so many delicious dishes, she actually told him to eat more! Couldn’t she remember that he was in the bitter north? There was nothing to eat here!

He Sanlang looked down at the fermented milk before him and suddenly felt like it was too hard to swallow.

That wicked woman was poisonous indeed!

She actually used food to bribe his people over!

He Sanlang’s handsome face contorted. He secretly decided to remind Senior Servant Zhong in his next reply not to forget her orders after eating that wicked woman’s cooking. She wasn’t supposed to be bought over that easily!

Finally, he read about the whole fiasco at the Dingyuan Estate. He Sanlang’s eyes dimmed down considerably.

The hand that was holding the letter tightened.

How could this be? The series of events at the Dingyuan Estate had turned out completely different…

That wicked woman had actually gotten connected to Royal Princess Duanjia because of that?

He Changdi suppressed the shock in his heart and quickly thought up a plan.

In the last paragraph, Senior Servant Zhong rebuked Chu Lian a little for not knowing how to manage her finances. According to Senior Servant Zhong, Chu Lian had used a flimsy reason like her birthday to bestow rewards upon every servant in the courtyard.

Birthday? Rewards?

He Changdi knew exactly when Chu Lian’s birthday was, of course. However, there was no need to help celebrate the birthday of a woman he hated so much. It seemed she was still able to entertain herself without him though, whimsically rewarding the servants like that. When he read in Senior Servant Zhong’s letter that she herself had gotten a pair of golden earrings and a golden ring, He Changdi snorted coldly.
