Chapter 323 The Lantern Festival Gets Accidentally Hurt

She didn't do it on purpose! Who would have thought that such a large mansion like the Guo residence would refuse to feed her...

She didn't want to do this either! She wanted to do a good job and make the fat woman happy so she could release her precious son ahead of schedule.

"Madam, I..."

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean, '?! Don't you understand hierarchy?'" Before she could finish speaking, Wang Amiao glared at her fiercely, startling her into quickly changing her words:

"Madam, this old servant hasn't eaten for two days."

"Could you spare this old servant a bite to eat?"

Zhang Chunhua wished she could bury her head in the ground.

Suddenly, the memory of when Wen Luozhi liked Lin Huaizhi flashed through my mind.

Once, Wen Luozhi brought back roasted pig's trotters, and she even acted high and mighty, making people beg her to eat them.

Now look what's happened! The person who was begging for food is now asking others to give her a bite to eat.

Zhang Chunhua deeply regretted her past actions. If only she had pretended to like Wen Luozhi even slightly in the past, she might still have endless wealth to spend.

But who could have imagined that a little girl would achieve such great things?

Wang Amiao looked at her arrogantly, and seeing that she seemed satisfied, said, "It's not impossible for you to eat if you want."

Zhang Chunhua's face lit up with joy, and she quickly looked up, only to hear Wang Amiao say, "Purge all the night soil in the mansion. If you do a good job, I might reward you with a steamed bun."

Zhang Chunhua's smile froze, and she stood there stunned.

So many people in the Guo household need her to scoop out their night soil? How long would that take her?!

Wang Amiao didn't care about her at all. She snorted and walked away smugly, wiggling her hips.

There were many people ahead, and the carriage stopped to wait. When Madam Jiang saw this, she couldn't help but frown.

"This official is too..."

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Shuqian, who was standing beside her, grasped her hand and gently shook her head. "Mother, it's best not to comment without knowing the whole story."

She knew about Lin Huaizhi's affairs, and as the carriage started moving again, she began to recount what she knew.

Madam Jiang was deeply saddened to hear this, never imagining that a scholar could do such despicable things.

Wen Luozhi went to a beauty salon, while Mo Lan was at the shop looking for someone to do her makeup.

Seeing her after so long almost made me so happy that I smudged my lipstick.

Wen Luozhi took the tools from the makeup artist and continued working. "It's been a long time since I've seen Miss Molan. You've become even more beautiful and charming."

Her tone was a little flippant, but Mo Lan smiled at her mischievous look and said, "You're so sweet-talking. I haven't seen you in ages."

As luck would have it, business in the building has been booming lately, and the mother was so happy that she gave the girls a half-day off.

She was thinking of getting her makeup done before going out that night, and she never expected to run into him.

Hearing that the shop owner had changed to the girl's sister-in-law, she thought that she might not have many chances to meet her in the future.

Wen Luozhi's makeup brush moved swiftly in her hand as she spoke to her.

She was a little itchy to go when she heard there was a lantern festival tonight; she'd been so busy lately and hadn't had a proper chance to relax in ages.

Why don't they go out tonight?

Thinking this way, she did just that, and after seeing Mo Lan off, she went straight to the restaurant.

"Third Brother, let's go have some fun tonight!"

She excitedly clapped her little hand on the counter, startling Wen Zizhou so much that he jumped back involuntarily.

"Alright, alright, wherever you say we'll go!" Wen Zizhou naturally didn't dare to object and quickly told the restaurant staff to pack up and prepare to close.

The brother and sister went to the dessert shop and invited Daya and Erya. The group then went back to the house.

Jiang Shuqian hadn't returned yet, and Wen Luozhi, feeling playful, couldn't wait any longer and left with a few others.

"Little sister, I haven't heard of any lantern festival in town tonight?"

Wen Zixun took the sugar figurine that Wen Luozhi had made and examined it.

Hmm, it's ugly... My sister doesn't look like him at all.

"Of course someone else told me," Wen Luozhi mumbled, eating her sugar figurine.

Before it even got dark, the streets were already bustling with activity, and there was a lantern stall every few steps.

There were three girls, two little ones and one big one, and two young men, each holding their favorite lantern.

Wen Luozhi's eyes were bright; this was the first time she had come here simply to have fun since she arrived.

The group ate their way through almost the entire largest street, and by then it was already dark.

The streets gradually became more crowded, and the children, laughing and joking, all carried lanterns in their hands.

Wen Zizhou handed the lantern to Wen Zixun, who was currently eating a bag of roasted chestnuts while being jostled by others.

Wen Luozhi turned around and glanced at him, speechless. She should never have bought him sweets!

Suddenly, the crowd in front became chaotic, with some people shouting loudly and children crying in between.

"Catch him! Thief!" A deep, powerful male voice rang out from the crowd, followed by an exasperated female voice:

"Are you tired of living?! How dare you steal my things!"

Visitors quickly moved aside, making room for one person to pass.

Wen Luozhi saw a girl in red chasing a thin man. The man was running very fast and arrived at their side in the blink of an eye.

The people on this side quickly made way, and Wen Zixun pulled his two nieces and sister aside, while Wen Luozhi peeked out from behind him.

Oh no! Wen Luozhi suddenly slapped her forehead.

Her gluttonous third brother is still behind!

She looked to her left and sure enough, she saw Wen Zizhou still engrossed in eating chestnuts on the narrow path that was barely wide enough for one person to pass.

With his physique, if a thief bumped into him, wouldn't he be in pain for five, six, seven, or eight days?!

"Wen Zizhou! Get out of the way!" she shouted in that direction.

Wen Zizhou turned around in confusion upon hearing her voice, and that was the end of it all.

Seeing the thief running faster and faster, the girl in red jumped up in a panic.

The thief turned around and saw this scene, so he sped up and bypassed the person blocking his way.

There was no time to retract her foot; Song Tingwan kicked Wen Zizhou directly in the buttocks.

The bag in Wen Zizhou's hand flew out, and the chestnuts inside flew everywhere.

"Ouch!" After a miserable cry, everyone saw him get kicked face-first into the dirt.

Song Tingwan wanted to continue chasing the thief as she watched his retreating figure, but then she remembered that she had accidentally injured someone earlier, so she stomped her foot in anger and gave up.

"Young master, are you alright?!"

She quickly turned around and helped the man up. When she saw Wen Zizhou's face, which was even more delicate than a woman's, she couldn't help but blush.

This...this face is just too...appetizing!

Before she could react, Wen Zizhou, whom she had accidentally injured, shouted, "Do you think you're alright?!"

"Look! Look!"

Feeling something warm flowing from his nose, Wen Zizhou was furious when he saw the blood on the ground.

He brought his face close to Song Tingwan's and said angrily, "Are you stupid?! You still asking?! Didn't you see I'm bleeding?!"

The face loomed larger in an instant, and only then did Song Tingwan realize what was happening.

She swallowed hard, looking rather guilty, and said, "I'm...I'm sorry."
