章節 152: Chapter 152: Daring Not to Speak

Ma Xiulian shot her an icy glance without speaking, but that was enough to scare Zhao Mei into holding her tongue, making her as quiet as a quail.

Observing this, Zhou Zhaodi could tell that her mother-in-law's ire had subsided quite a bit - otherwise, her sister-in-law would have taken an earful.

Then she turned to her and whispered, "Mom, it's already noon, Guibao should be hungry by now."

She genuinely took pity on her little niece who had just strolled back from the Ghost Gate, suggesting it was high time for some food and good rest.

As expected, Helian Qiao's little stomach let out a resounding growl right on cue. She covered her belly and whined in a babyish voice, "Grandma, I'm hungry."

The canned beef jerky and apples she had eaten up in the mountains had long been digested.

Hearing her cry of hunger, Ma Xiulian immediately said, "Right, bring out the dishes quickly."

Her precious Guibao couldn't be allowed to go hungry after being so frightened.

"Aye!"
