The dishes were served on the table, led by Chen Afu, Shiyi, Chu Hanyan, Li Xuan, and Chu Hanyan were eating at the table, the little brothers were being fed by their mother at a small table on the ground, while Qi Qi and Hui Hui were eating from a big plate, and Zhui Feng's family was eating from two large bowls.
Looking at this long-lost scene, Shiyi's emotions surged. If life could always go on like this, it would be wonderful.
Just then, trouble arose. Xiao Gezi, Shiyi's eunuch, tried to test for poison with a silver needle.
Shiyi's face reddened again, his eyes bulging as he scolded, "How foolish! You don't need to use that needle here."
Frightened, Xiao Gezi immediately kneeled down upon Shiyi's harsh words.
Xiao Gezi, who was not even ten years old and skinny, pale, and Chen Afu pitied how this young boy had already been forced into the imperial court as a eunuch. She had him taken to a side room to eat.
