章 77: Rumors

When Su Wen heard Emperor Zhou's words, he was a little unconvinced. "The what's the point of looking good if you don't eat your fill?"

"A fool is not worthy of being privy to the scheme! Wanrou, bring him to the side to learn etiquette. Watch this lad carefully. Don't let him slack off!"

"Yes!" Zhao Wanrou bowed.

Zhao Wanrou tugged at Su Wen's sleeve and whispered, "Let's go!"

Su Wen followed Zhao Wanrou out and was led into a side hall by the eunuch.

As he watched Su Wen leave, Emperor Zhou angrily sat down before grumbling, "This brat! Does he not have money to eat? Why does he come over here to tell me that he can't eat his fill? Since when has this Emperor ever had his fill as well?!"

The reason why he was so angry was because he too was unable to eat his fill. However, his pride could not be abolished and thus he could only bear with it. So how could Su Wen bring up the topic of hunger in front of himself?
