Chapter 223 Swallowing Tears
Tie Hongyan felt that Dong Su's words made sense, so she decided not to let Wu Xunsheng continue to answer her question. Moreover, Wu Xunsheng had promised her not to say anything. However, she couldn't understand why Dong Su, who knew that even if others promised him, he would have no choice but to do what he said, would continue to ask her if she could promise him "I will never say that the blood on my clothes scared or disgusted you." However, she didn't think about it any more. Anyway, there was nothing to say, so she just promised him, and said, "Okay, I promise you this."
Dong Su felt more at ease at this time: "It's a deal. Eat well later." He added to Wu Xunsheng: "You won't say that I scared or disgusted her, right?"
"Well, I won't tell you." Wu Xunsheng said.
Dong Su sent the two children to the gate of Ao Qian Palace. He carefully covered the bloodstains on his clothes to prevent others from seeing them, even though he knew it would be fine even if others saw them. After the two children were taken in by the people from Ao Qian Palace, he immediately left to change his clothes.
After Tie Hongyan and Wu Xunsheng were taken in, they sat together at the dining table. The food on the table was rich and looked very tempting.
Wu Xunsheng was already very hungry and began to eat with big mouthfuls.
Tie Hongyan felt thirsty, so she drank a few sips of soup first, and then ate some vegetables. When she was about to use chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat on the plate, she immediately remembered that Dong Su had said before that the blood on his clothes was from helping people slaughter livestock, and he also said "it was the livestock used for dinner", so she immediately put the chopsticks back. The moment she saw the blood on Dong Su's clothes, her intuition told her that the blood was not from livestock at all, but from human beings. At this time, when she saw the meat on the plate, she thought of Dong Su's words and felt very uncomfortable. She said she was disgusted before, not because she was disgusted by the blood, but because the blood seemed to her to be human, but Dong Su said it was from livestock - this once again touched the mark deep in her heart that would make her feel severe pain when touched. She lowered her head, frowned, and chewed the vegetables. The slower she chewed, she couldn't even swallow the vegetables. The tears in her eyes fell on the edge of her bowl.
"Young Patriarch, what's wrong with you? Is it not tasty? Or is it cold?" asked a guard standing nearby.
Wu Xunsheng was only busy eating before. He glanced at Tie Hongyan after hearing the guard's question. He found that her eyes were red and said, "What's wrong with you? It's so delicious. It's still hot. Eat it while it's hot!"
Tie Hongyan didn't raise his head, rubbed his eyes and said, "Oh...it's okay...there's sand in my eyes."
"Is everything okay, Young Chief?" asked the guardian.
"It's okay... It's okay! It's out." Tie Hongyan had wiped away her tears.
She originally didn't want to pick up the meat on the plate anymore, but she remembered what her uncle Tie Jinjue had said to her before, so she picked up a piece of meat and put it in the bowl, then picked up some vegetables and started eating in big mouthfuls, swallowing the food along with the unshed tears.
While eating, she said to the guard next to her: "It's delicious! The sand in my eyes is out, and I feel better when I eat."
The guardian smiled.
She put a lot of vegetables and meat into the bowl and stuffed them into her mouth desperately, until all the food gathered in her mouth and she had to chew for a long time before she could swallow it.
