Li Xing'an mumbled, "Just for such a small thing, do we really need to invite him for a meal?"
"Is a little kid even worth inviting?" The Second Young Master also said, "Just going over to say thank you should already be giving him enough face."
The Princely Heir looked at the dishes on the table, feeling troubled, and said, "Father, we don't have any extra dishes at home... how can we host a guest?"
The Princess Consort Luling didn't want to invite people over and followed up by saying, "Prince, we have nothing at home; we're eating wild vegetables. Isn't this just asking to be laughed at?"
"There's too little food; we don't even have enough for ourselves." The Second Princess also sighed.
She finished all the dishes in her bowl and was picking at her half-bowl of rice.
The plain rice was tasteless, so she, in a make-or-break move, poured the only bit of vegetable soup into her own rice, attracting a jealous glare from Xue Family.
