Chapter 869: The Well-Fed Never Know the Hunger of the Starving
Early morning.Lu’er reported: "Second Young Master is normal these days, there’s no vixen around him!"
Chen Xishan’s face looked slightly better.
She said, "That’s good! Maybe he was just too tired last night."
She then asked Lu’er about Su Ruanruan’s movements.
Lu’er covered her mouth with a smile, "What else could happen? With madam keeping her down, who dares to stick their head out? Isn’t that clearly going against the Huo Family?"
Chen Xishan took a sip of tea, "What about the grand young madam?"
Lu’er chuckled, "She’s ambitious, but her methods aren’t as good as yours. She can only keep her tail between her legs."
Chen Xishan stopped asking, changed her clothes, and went to the front hall for breakfast.
Her husband was already there, and he didn’t even lift his head when she arrived.
Chen Xishan sat next to him, poured him a cup of milk, and gently asked, "Shaoting, did you sleep well last night?"
How could Huo Shaoting have slept well?
He tossed and turned all night, his mind filled with Yan Jing.
He dreamed about his wedding with her, dreamed about walking towards a bed with bright red sheets with the woman he loved, dreamed of his small success.
In the dream, he was so joyful!
These were things Huo Shaoting naturally wouldn’t say, he just said coldly, "It was okay."
Chen Xishan smiled gently, "It’s good if you slept well."
Their back and forth made the grand young madam laugh.
Young Master Huo’s wife wiped her lips and said with a smile, "Such a good show early in the morning at home. The second brother and his wife asking each other questions, making people envious."
Chen Xishan forced a smile, "Big sister-in-law, don’t make fun of us!"
Young Master Huo’s wife was about to speak.
Yin Mingzhu laughed softly, "A moment ago, the topic was clearly about Shaoting and his wife sleeping separately. Yet, grand young madam congratulates them on their deep feelings! The grand young madam is indeed love-filled every night, truly a well-fed person who doesn’t know the hunger of the others!"
As soon as those words left her mouth.
Chen Xishan’s face turned sullen and looked very unpleasant.
Young Master Huo’s wife tried to explain.
Yin Mingzhu said smugly, "Did I say anything wrong? Shaoting, weren’t you guys sleeping in separate rooms last night?"
Chen Xishan was confident: Shaoting never paid attention to this concubine.
Unexpectedly, Huo Shaoting nodded.
Chen Xishan was stunned!
Shaoting had never embarrassed her like this before!
She wanted to warm her husband’s heart, but Huo Shaoting finished his breakfast and left.
Chen Xishan hated him so much her teeth itched.
Yin Mingzhu pretended to give advice, "Second young madam, if you want to win your husband’s heart, you can’t just be reserved all the time. Sometimes you need to take the initiative."
Chen Xishan didn’t finish her breakfast and left the table.
Hatred flickered in Yin Mingzhu’s eyes: previously she wanted to run to the second young madam, but she looked down on her and secretly cut her expenses! Serves her right!
Young Master Huo’s wife gently advised, "Why do you make enemies with her!"
Yin Mingzhu played with her fingernails and said coolly, "You think she’s formidable, but I don’t! From what I’ve seen, she’s no match for that little vixen Su Ruanruan!"
Young Master Huo’s wife didn’t believe it.
Yin Mingzhu had been up all night and was sleepy now, she covered her mouth and yawned, "Grand young madam loves to believe or not, just watch! She has tough days ahead."

Huo Shaoting got into the car.
The secretary sitting in the front said, "I’ve found Miss Yan’s residence, should the Second Young Master go now?"
Huo Shaoting nodded lightly.
He added, "Make sure no one knows!"
The secretary smiled, "Rest assured, Second Young Master! I won’t say a word."
The car drove smoothly, and half an hour later, it arrived at an old residential area in Yangcheng.
Looking at the entrance of the community, Huo Shaoting’s heart ached—
All these years, has she been living this hard?
He followed the directions given by the secretary and found the place to ring the bell.
For a long time, there was no response.
Instead, the neighbor across the door came out, smiled faintly, and said, "You must be looking for Miss Yan, right? Early in the morning a Miss Su sent a car to pick her up, I happened to see while taking out the trash!"
Huo Shaoting was stunned for a moment.
Then he realized, that Miss Su was Su Ruanruan.
