Black Bellied Belle: Demon Lord, Bite The Bait Please Chapter 24.3

Chapter 24.3 : Life's Just a Great Big Show Everywhere

During the meal, it was quiet at the table. Because they were all women in a n.o.ble family, they had been well instructed in manners and etiquette from young, where they were not allowed to speak while eating, and to be silent when they sleep. They were not even supposed to make any noise while chewing their food.

But today, it seemed that they would not be able to maintain the silence they had become accustomed to.

At that moment, everyone paused with their chopsticks in their hands, to stare speechlessly at the other end of the dining table.

"Little Bei, eat this. Mm….. This one tastes rather great."

"Have more meat. Look at how skinny you are. The youths who are your age in other places are more buff than you."

"Eat a little bit more. Fill up your stomach and you will not have to eat later at night. I have never eaten such good dishes before."

"Living without knowing when your next meal is going to come has been really tough. The d.u.c.h.ess is really so nice, that she would specially ask us to come for a meal."

Qing Yu was just heaping it all into her mouth, and also piling the food she picked up onto Qing Bei's bowl, making a small mountain form up on it.

It was all a a.s.sortment of meats in his bowl, a greasy and oily mountain. The youth did not say a word, but just lowered his head as he took small bites of the food, seemingly rather shy.

But who would have known that the reason he had his head lowered was because he was fighting to hold his laughter in, not wanting a single sound to escape out of his mouth. The Heavens knew that this was the first time he was seeing this side of his sister and he saw that she really knew how to pour it on, her acting so realistic that even he himself was almost taken in by her.

Across from him, Qing Yu was still chattering on as she ate, the sound of her chewing exceptionally loud.

That was not all. She had even moved several dishes that she liked more right in front of her, and digging into it by herself, looking like she had not eaten anything in years.

Mouthful after mouthful was stuffed right into her mouth, making every wonder just how the stomach of a tiny pet.i.te little one like her was able to contain so much.

"That is just absolutely boorish and crude!" Mo Han Yan was so furious her face was all red. "To think that a Young Miss of the Eternal Peace Duke's Manor would be so uncouth and unschooled in etiquette and manners. Just look at how you look now. You are no different from the riff raffs among the commoners. Has the d.u.c.h.ess, I mistreated you? Have I not given you food to eat! ?"

Qing Yu was eating happily away and with that sudden scare, she almost choked on her food, driving her to quickly take a gulp of water to catch her breath.

"d.u.c.h.ess, my brother and I have really not eaten anything so nice for such a long time already. We are given only two steamed buns everyday….. and we are just too hungry." Qing Yu said as she lowered her head in aggrievement. "It's alright if I do not eat, but as my younger brother is not well, seeing him not even able to fill his stomach everyday just pains me greatly. I understand that there are a great number of people in the Duke's Manor and we are living in a dest.i.tute condition with Father always killing off enemies out on the battlefield. I do not dare ask for too much. Can we be given a few more steamed buns in future….."

Seemingly overwhelmed by sorrow, the young girl kept her head lowered and could not say another word, her shoulders shaking as she choked on her sobs.

"Cough cough cough….." While those words rang out, several suppressed and stifled coughs were heard from the frail and skinny youth, which made the sibling pair look even more pitiful.

Among all the females present, with the lone exception of Mo Han Yan, every other single woman there was moved, their eyes filled with sympathy and pity.

The d.u.c.h.ess had really been too petty. It was to two such young children and she could really treat them so harshly.

If the young girl had not spoken of it today, they would not have known that the Eternal Peace Duke's Manor had become so thrifty.

Even the servants had meat for every meal. Although the Tranquil Abode was not favoured, but they were afterall still a legitimate Young Master and Young Miss of the Duke's Manor, was it really that hard for them to just be able to fill their stomachs?"

Mo Han Yan saw all the woman below her looking at her with reproach in their eyes and her face almost turned green from anger. She slammed her hand hard on the table. "That is complete hogwas.h.!.+"
