Zhulan touched her daughter's hair, which was so soft, "Did you go to the kitchen to sneak some pastries for the third little one, right?"

Xue Han replied without giving it too much thought, "Pork scraps."

Xue Han knew she had unwittingly spoken the truth. Her somewhat chubby little hands covered her mouth. Seeing her mother's expressionless face, she felt scared and tentatively tugged at her mother's sleeve, "Mother, please don't be angry."
