Chapter 354 Allergic reaction!
Coincidentally, the Luoyue Pavilion where they were located was next to Duanmu Chen and his group.
The commotion from Duanmu Chen and Li Haoran's side was quite loud, but fortunately it was all inside the house, and the walls here were hollowed out, so the soundproofing was quite good. However, this so-called good soundproofing only applies to ordinary people.
For someone like Duanmu Chuze who practices martial arts, the effect is not so good.
After settling everyone in, Duanmu Chuze made an excuse to leave the main house and went into the courtyard. With the courtyard wall separating them, the sounds from next door became even clearer.
Hearing that their conversation even mentioned A-Nuan, Duanmu Chuze's expression darkened. He had naturally noticed that Duanmu Chen's gaze towards A-Nuan had always been somewhat different, but he hadn't expected him to be so persistent!
He summoned his bodyguards, gave them a few simple instructions, and then turned back to find that five or six dishes had already been served.
"Your Highness, please take a seat." Madam Li quickly stood up.
“Mother-in-law, you don’t need to be so polite. You are the elder, so you should take the seat of honor.”
The word "mother-in-law" left everyone present somewhat bewildered!
Mu Xin Nuan's lips twitched, and she helplessly rubbed her forehead, thinking to herself, "Duanmu Chu Ze, what are you trying to do? You're even calling me 'mother-in-law'? Is this really a good idea?"
Li was so stunned by the address of "mother-in-law" that she seemed to have been struck by lightning and couldn't move at all.
"Mother, please sit down. Fortunately, there are no outsiders here, so it's alright." Mu Xin Nuan was worried that if things continued like this, they really wouldn't be able to have this meal.
Coming to her senses, Li quickly nodded, "Good! Good!"
Not long after, Mu Xin Nuan seemed to hear some panicked noises from next door. She frowned slightly because she thought she had just heard her two cousins' voices.
"I'll go take a look. You're all women, it's inconvenient for you. You also have several children to look after."
After Duanmu Chuze finished speaking, he left Luoyue Pavilion and went to the next room.
"Greetings to Your Highness." Upon seeing that it was Prince Chang Le, everyone quickly bowed in unison.
"No need for that. What's going on? This isn't your own home. Making such a scene is unbecoming."
Duanmu Chuze had spent three years honing his skills on the battlefield, surviving countless bloody battles. His aura was naturally formidable. Especially now, with his somber face and icy presence, he was almost impossible to resist.
Li Haoran stepped forward and reported, "Your Highness, His Highness was fine just now, but suddenly his face turned red and he suddenly fell unconscious."
Duanmu Chuze frowned slightly and said unhappily, "It was just a drink, how did you pass out?"
When he came closer and looked at the dishes on the table, he asked, "What is this made of?"
Duanmu Chuze pointed to a plate on the table with several spring roll-like things on it, and Duanmu Chen also had half of one on his own plate.
"Your Highness, the outside is made of white flour, and the inside seems to be made of taro powder mixed with sugar and then combined together," said the waiter serving here.
Duanmu Chuze suddenly chuckled, "This kid is allergic to taro, so he can't eat it. It's alright, someone, quickly take His Highness Changsun back to rest. Don't make a fuss about this. I don't think he used much, so he'll probably wake up soon."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The guards beside Duanmu Chen quickly helped their master up and carried him outside. To be honest, it was truly undignified for His Highness the Grandson to go out like this. But there was nothing they could do; he was currently unconscious.
Actually, Li Haoran, who was standing to the side, originally wanted to suggest that Duanmu Chen rest in the inner room for a while. However, since the Prince of Chang Le had spoken, they could only follow the prince's wishes.
Li Haoran wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the smile on the Prince of Chang Le's lips seemed to have a hint of schadenfreude.
It has to be said, Li Haoran has hit the nail on the head this time!
Duanmu Chuze walked to the door, glanced at the plate of spring rolls again, and smiled faintly. "Hmph! Duanmu Chen, you dare to steal my woman. This time it's just a minor allergic reaction. Next time, you might not be so lucky!"
So, you finally gave up your desire for Ah Nuan. Otherwise, I really wouldn't mind giving you some more surprises.
Duanmu Chuze returned to Luoyue Pavilion with an air of nonchalance. Seeing that the room was quite lively, he smiled and sat back down in his seat.
Of course, his seat was right next to Mu Xin Nuan.
"But what's the matter?"
"It's nothing. It's just that Duanmu Chen was drinking next door and got drunk. He's been sent home now. Let's continue."
Mu Xin Nuan clearly didn't believe him. Drunk? She might not know who His Highness Changsun was, but she knew he always paid attention to his image in public, especially in public settings, and had never been seen drunk before. How could he possibly be drunk during a private gathering with friends today?
Duanmu Chuze knew she didn't believe him, so he leaned over and whispered in her ear, "He accidentally ate some taro spring rolls and had an allergic reaction. You didn't see it, his face was as red as a boiled shrimp. It really looked awful."
"An allergy?" Mu Xin Nuan was somewhat surprised, then hurriedly asked, "Will this affect Taihe Restaurant's business?"
"Don't worry! No, he was careless. Who can he blame? Besides, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess know he's allergic to this. But they ordered the dish themselves, it wasn't someone else trying to harm him. It's alright."
"really?"
"You still don't believe me?"
Mu Xin Nuan rolled her eyes at him. How come she never noticed before that Duanmu Chu Ze actually had some potential to be a scoundrel?
Seeing the two of them whispering to each other, Li's face showed both joy and some worry.
After all, it's only an arranged marriage; the formal marriage hasn't taken place yet. Seeing her future son-in-law so carefully attending to her daughter brings a sense of relief. At least, her daughter won't really suffer any injustice in the future, right?
"Come on, try the braised fish here, it's quite good. I was originally thinking of ordering a steamed one for you, but then I thought that since there are many children here, they might prefer it a bit sweeter, so I ordered this dish instead. It's the signature dish here. You can only find it here in the entire capital! Nowhere else can you make it taste like this."
As Duanmu Chuze spoke, he also put a piece on Mu Xinnuan's plate. Mu Xinnuan blushed slightly, and in front of so many people, she didn't know what to say. She picked up her chopsticks and began to eat in small bites.
