"Stupid girl," Shen Ning stretched out her fingers and flicked the hair on Xiao Ru's head: "It's not that you can't remember, it's that you didn't pay attention at all. As long as you take a closer look, you will find that It’s a basket of red eggs. Why would an old man go out on the street carrying a basket of red eggs?”

"I know this, because there is a new member in the family!" Xiaoru clapped her hands and shouted.

After finishing speaking, she suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand, eldest lady, it turns out that you guessed that he had a son based on his red eggs! It's so simple, I really thought that eldest lady, you would understand It’s fortune telling!”

Shen Ning pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Many of those fortune-telling magicians use my method, so there is nothing surprising about it. Xiaoru, if you learn more about observation, you can do it too."

"Then Miss, are all the 'bloody disasters' and 'eating soil that can stop crying' you said later true?" Xiao Ru scratched her scalp again.

She was stunned.

"If you believe it, it's true. If you don't believe it, it's false." Shen Ning smiled, winked, raised her chopsticks and said, "Here, eat the food, eat the food!"

While the two of them were talking, the dishes were served in a stream, filling the table with the aroma.

Xiao Ru's mouth was watering. She ate a chopstick of shrimps and bit into a piece of ribs. She felt that each of them was delicious like she had never tasted before.

Shen Ning saw it and felt slightly strange.

After all, she was also the eldest lady of the Protector's Palace before she got married. Xiaoru was the original owner's personal maid. Didn't she even eat these home-cooked dishes

She searched through the memory of the original owner and found that she really had never eaten it!

Not only Xiao Ru, but even she, the eldest lady, eats crude meals sent from the kitchen every day, and there is no trace of meat in the dishes.

Of course, all this was thanks to her good stepmother, Mrs. Lin.

She didn't want to recall the bitter past of the original owner, so she picked up a large piece of meat for Xiao Ru with her chopsticks, and said with a smile: "This meat has the best taste, it's fragrant but not greasy, and it melts in your mouth. You must like it."

Shen Ning and Xiao Ru ate happily, unaware that someone in the adjacent seat separated by a wall heard their conversation without missing a word.

The man in black was sitting at the table, drinking slowly. There were only four dishes on the table, but each one was exquisite and expensive. The pear blossoms in the pot exuded a sweet and intoxicating aroma. He was leaning in his chair, drinking one cup after another, with an expression on his face. Casual and lazy.

Behind him, a young man in green clothes stood with his hands solemnly.

While Shen Ning was talking to the waiter, Xiao Si, a young man in green clothes, recognized her voice and said with surprise and joy: "Master, it's the girl from yesterday!"

He remembered that he had searched the alley and could not find any sign of her master and servant.

At this time, he suddenly heard Shen Ning's voice, and he suddenly felt surprised that he had broken through the iron shoes and found nowhere.

The man in black didn't seem to hear anything. There was no expression on his face. He just drank one cup after another, seeming to be more interested in the wine in the cup.

But Xiaosi pricked up his ears and listened to the conversation in the next door seat, with a rich expression on his face.

When Xiao Ru whispered that they had no money to pay the bill, Xiao Si couldn't hold it back and blurted out: "Master, they have no money to eat, do you want..."

Although the man in black looks uninterested, who is Xiao Si? He has been growing up with the man in black. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a roundworm in the man in black.
