Chapter Three

Very quickly, the news of Lin Jie destroying Shen Qinghan's library was spread across the entire Crown Prince's Palace, and all the servants of the Crown Prince's Palace could not help but praise Lin Jie's courage. After all, to dare to touch Shen Qinghan's books, one must have the courage to face death head-on, and in the end, Lin Jie did not receive any huge punishment.

They did not know that, with regards to Lin Jie, two days of not allowing him to eat was simply torture.

Lin Jie, whose stomach was growling in hunger, was sitting next to the Da Mao, looking at the scenery not far away. He blinked his eyes, he had not eaten anything all day, and his stomach was filled with hunger.

"I really want to eat meat …"

Lin Jie said while looking at the Da Mao at the side.

The Da Mao's butt moved to the side. It felt its back turning cold, afraid that Lin Jie would try to harm it.

"Don't worry, I don't like dog meat …"

Lin Jie rolled his eyes in disdain, the Da Mao snorted.

"Master!"

San Xi's voice came from behind, Lin Jie turned to look, only to see San Xi running over.

"Mistress, this servant has been looking for you for a long time. I didn't expect you to actually be here."

"Hmm, what's wrong?"

Lin Jie supported his chin and asked.

"Mistress, look, what did this servant bring you?"

San Xi laughed mischievously as he took out an oily paper package from his bosom. The fragrance filled the air and then, San Xi opened it.

Seeing this, Lin Jie's eyes went wide.

"Mistress, you haven't eaten for a whole day. Are you hungry?"

San Xi said with a pained heart, then stuffed the oil paper bag into Lin Jie's hands, "Master, eat it."

Lin Jie looked at the chicken leg in his hand, feeling complicated.

Not far away, Shen Qinghan and Jiang Yang, who just so happened to be passing by, stopped in their tracks.

"Your majesty, do you want to go out and stop them?"

Jiang Yang said in a low voice.

"No need."

Shen Qinghan said.

What he said was originally just words out of anger, so he did not expect Lin Jie to honestly accept the punishment.

"Then this servant will leave first."

To be honest, he was quite afraid of Da Mao.

With that, San Xi left.

"Let's go."

Shen Qinghan said.

"Da Mao!"

Just at this time, he heard Lin Jie's voice.

Lin Jie tossed the oil paper bag in his hand, holding the chicken leg, he waved it in front of the Da Mao, "You got lucky."

The Da Mao quickly finished the chicken leg, causing Lin Jie to be astonished. He rubbed the Da Mao's head, "It really isn't enough for you to fill the gaps between your teeth?"

The Da Mao licked Lin Jie.

"I'll bring you chicken legs next time, but you can't sell me out like you did last time, right?"

Lin Jie laughed as he reached out to rub the Da Mao's head.

Seeing that, Shen Qinghan sighed helplessly.

"Your Highness, this …"

Jiang Yang was startled.

"Tell the kitchen to prepare some food and send it over."

Shen Qinghan said indifferently. Finally, he raised his leg and left.

"Yes."

Jiang Yang looked at Lin Jie and agreed.

Seeing that the sky was about to turn dark, Lin Jie played with the Da Mao for a while before returning to the east yard.

Not long after he returned, Jiang Yang arrived with a few maidservant carrying a lunchbox behind him.

"What is this?"

Lin Jie leaned lazily on the chair and leisurely sipped on his tea.

"His Highness had me deliver some food for you."

Jiang Yang replied respectfully.

Then, maidservant started to take out the dishes from the box one by one.

"Shen Qinghan?"

Hearing that, Lin Jie immediately sat up, and frowned: "He really asked you to bring it over?"

"Your subordinate dares not speak nonsense."

Jiang Yang said again.

"Take it back, I don't want to eat it."

Lin Jie thought about it, and decided to answer anyway.

San Xi was startled.

Jiang Yang obviously did not expect Lin Jie to say that, and looked at Lin Jie suspiciously.

"But, this is Your Highness …"

Jiang Yang wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Even though I, Lin Jie, am not any important figure, I will still accept my punishment if I'm in the wrong. I said that I would not eat for two days without eating.

Lin Jie snorted.

"Master, it's nine cauldrons …"

San Xi couldn't help but remind him.

"What a load of bullsh * t. I say eight ding is eight ding."

Lin Jie's face paled.

"…"

Jiang Yang was speechless.

"San Xi, help me pack up."

Lin Jie said indifferently.

"Yes."

San Xi went forward and cleaned up the dishes.

"Jiang Yang, I have something that I need your help with."

Finally, Lin Jie stood up and said to Jiang Yang.

"Master, please speak your mind."

Jiang Yang said.

study

"How is it?"

Under the candlelight, the white robed Shen Qinghan currently had his head lowered as he held his brush and wrote something.

"Reporting to Your Highness, crown princess has already brought back all the food."

Jiang Yang said.

"You sent it back? not moving at all? "

Shen Qinghan frowned, somewhat suspicious.

Jiang Yang shook his head, "crown princess said that although he is not some great figure, he will admit his mistakes and say that he won't eat for two days.

Jiang Yang did his duty and told her every word.

"Words are true?"

Shen Qinghan's frown deepened, at the end, he let out a heavy sigh, and extended his hand to caress his forehead, "Alright, I understand, you can leave now."

"Yes."

Jiang Yang said as he prepared to leave.

"Oh right, after cleaning up that book, remember to carefully place it in book pavilion. Although it has already been destroyed …"

Shen Qinghan rubbed between his brows and said.

"Subordinate... "Understood."

Jiang Yang clearly stopped in his tracks and then left with big strides.

east yard

Deep into the night, San Xi and the others had already rested.

Lin Jie suddenly sat up on the bed, put on his shoes, rummaged under the pillow by the bed for a cloth bag, and walked over to the table to sit down.

Lin Jie opened the cloth bag and saw a book inside. However, the cover of the book was mottled with marks, and even though it had been cleaned, it was still tightly knitted.

"Wow, it's already so dirty. It's probably useless now, right?"

Lin Jie swallowed his saliva.

No wonder Shen Qinghan had an expression that seemed like he wanted to eat someone.

Lin Jie turned the page to look, and realised that many of the words on it were blurred, he immediately felt his scalp tingling.

Helplessly sighing, Lin Jie took out a brush and paper, then clumsily compared the words written on the book with the brush.
