Chapter 500: Chapter 500 I Really Want to Bite You to Death! _1 Chapter 500: Chapter 500 I Really Want to Bite You to Death! _1 Xiao Changyi didn’t say anything imdiately but just led An Jing out of the kitchen. Then, he had An Jing sit in the courtyard to bask in the sun and said, “If you’re tired, go back to the room and rest.”
An Jing’s belly had grown noticeably larger than before. If she really couldn’t stay idle, she would do so light chores. If she could, she would do nothing at all. And her husband would rather she did nothing, fearing any mishaps.
Thinking that both ng Lanqing and ng Zhuqing were visiting today and would help her husband with chores like washing vegetables and starting the fire, she wasn’t needed at all. Thus, she simply nodded and said, “Hmm.”
She certainly didn’t want to end up as a burden instead of helping.
After ng Lanqing finished washing dishes, Xiao Changyi instructed ng Zhuqing to heat water, as he planned to prepare the chickens and ducks.
Once the water heated up, Xiao Changyi told ng Lanqing to slaughter the chickens and ducks.
ng Lanqing had no idea how to kill chickens or ducks and just thought of chopping off their heads in a rough and simple manner; surely the poultry would die that way. But before his cleaver could strike, he was stopped by Xiao Changyi’s cold stare.
The cleaver just hung there, unable to co down.
“How old are you?” Xiao Changyi suddenly asked, neither cold nor warm.
ng Lanqing imdiately answered respectfully, “This subordinate is already twenty-five.”
Xiao Changyi said, “You’re that old, and you still can’t kill chickens?”
ng Lanqing: “…” What does age have to do with being able to kill chickens?
ng Zhuqing, who was standing aside and watching, inwardly lit a candle for his elder brother.
Then, Xiao Changyi took the chicken from ng Lanqing, grasped its wings and head with one hand, and with the other, deftly cut the chicken’s throat with the cleaver. The chicken’s blood imdiately began to flow, collected neatly in a bowl set aside.
ng Lanqing and ng Zhuqing watched their lord complete the task in one fluid motion, filled with admiration.
After all the chicken blood had drained into the bowl and the chicken was thoroughly dead, Xiao Changyi soaked it in hot water and instructed ng Zhuqing to pluck its feathers afterward.
Xiao Changyi then handed the cleaver back to ng Lanqing, asking him to slaughter the duck. ng Lanqing tried to mimic the action. Though not skilled, he did manage to kill the duck. He then soaked the duck in hot water as well.
Xiao Changyi didn’t bother with ng Lanqing and ng Zhuqing anymore and turned to wash the vegetables himself.
Once the chicken and duck were ready, ng Zhuqing began to pluck the chicken, while ng Lanqing plucked the duck.
ng Zhuqing secretly glanced in the direction of their lord, saw him washing vegetables, and noticed An Jing had approached to speak with him.
Feeling fairly certain their lord wouldn’t notice them, he asked his elder brother in an extrely low voice, “Brother, why do I feel like our lord seems a bit cold towards you today?”
ng Lanqing lowered his voice as well but was nonchalantly confident, “Normal, he has always been cold towards . He was even reluctant to take to the Capital last ti when he took you.”
ng Zhuqing’s jaw clenched instantly: Then why did you beat black and blue last ti? You’re just itching for a fight, aren’t you?!
If the person in front of him wasn’t his own older brother, ng Zhuqing might have stopped plucking and pounced on him directly. If not to the death, then at least to bite. Too infuriating! Every ti he took advantage of the fact that Zhuqing didn’t know how to retaliate!
“What’s wrong, why do you look so upset? Are you not feeling well?” ng Lanqing turned to look at his younger brother with concern.
ng Zhuqing kept silent for a mont before revealing a wide smile, “It’s nothing, I just thought of so unhappy things.”
Upon hearing this, ng Lanqing stopped worrying and said, “If you know they’re unhappy thoughts, why think of them? You are simply asking for trouble.”
ng Zhuqing: “…” I really want to bite you to death ahhh!
