At this moment, in Feixue Garden, after serving Zhu Yu his medicine, Li Feng wiped away tears as she looked at the two moldy steamed buns in her hand.

Eating something like this will not help Miss, who has just woken up. Even if she drinks the best medicine, she won't recover. Miss's body is already very weak.

Just as he was worrying about the moldy steamed bun, the door creaked open from the outside.

Upon seeing Lu Xiaoyun, Li Feng immediately knelt down, pleading with tears streaming down her face, "Your Highness, please have pity on my young lady! She is injured, but the kitchen only gives her two steamed buns a day, and they're spoiled. How can her body withstand this? I beg Your Highness!"

Lu Xiaoyun looked up and was startled. It had only been three days since she last saw Zhu Yu, but he had become such a grotesque figure.

His small face was sickly pale, and he looked extremely weak. He had been unconscious for several days and had lost a lot of weight. If he hadn't been leaning against the bed, a gust of wind might have blown him away.

However, he was inappropriately dressed in a purplish-red dress, which contrasted sharply with his pale face, making him look completely out of place.

The dress was clearly ill-fitting, hanging loosely at the shoulders.

Zhu Yu said coldly, "Li Feng, get up! Who gave you permission to beg her? I'd rather starve to death than have you beg her like this."

During this time, only Li Feng accompanied him. Although she was this vicious woman's maid, this little girl was genuinely good to her master.

If it weren't for her, I'm afraid I would have died in this bed long ago.

Zhu Yu looked up at Lu Xiaoyun and saw that the man had a rosy complexion, a tall and straight figure, and a handsome face. His black hair was tied in a jade crown, and he wore a light blue embroidered brocade robe with piping, with a black cloak over it. His innate nobility made Lu Xiaoyun stand out even more. Without the coldness and aloofness between his brows, she had become more gentle and refined.

The key point is that she's also quite plump.

Zhu Yu's forehead throbbed violently. He took a deep breath. This idiot thought she could rest easy so soon! He was eating cold steamed buns here every day, while she, with his body, was eating and drinking delicious food every meal.

Why didn't she just eat herself to death!

Li Feng looked at her mistress with suspicion again. The changes in her mistress during this period were too great. If she hadn't been watching over her all the time, she would have suspected that her mistress had been switched with someone else.

Although the young lady was born into the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, she was a legitimate legitimate daughter.

But she lost her mother at a young age. Her stepmother seemed to treat her very well on the surface, and would agree to anything she asked for if she could. But raising a young lady like that was actually a complete disservice to her.

The young lady didn't want to practice calligraphy or the piano, so the stepmother let her go out to play in the street, saying that if she didn't like it, she shouldn't learn it. Life is only a few decades long, so there's no need to care about other people's opinions.

She also thought it made a lot of sense.

Actually, they didn't want her to disturb the second and third young ladies and the fourth young master's studies, which ultimately led to the two young ladies and even the fourth young master becoming increasingly disgusted with the young lady.

Miss Ren loved to dress up, and under the encouragement of Miss Ren Yong'an, she developed a fondness for brightly colored dresses. The stepmother then went to great lengths to buy her all sorts of colorful clothes, rouge, and jewelry, making this perfectly respectable young lady look like a ghost.

In fact, the second and third young ladies were dressed extremely simply, elegantly, and dignifiedly, looking more like legitimate daughters than the young ladies themselves.

It can be said that the stepmother granted every request the young lady made.

More than a month ago, when His Highness Prince An returned to the capital in triumph, the young lady saw him and only said one thing: "Prince An is really handsome."

After the stepmother found out, she went around pulling strings, saying she wanted to arrange a marriage for her daughter with Prince An. She even said that her daughter was the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's family and was more than a match for Prince An. In the end, she even spread rumors everywhere that her daughter admired Prince An and would marry no one else.

It's almost as if they're saying that the young lady has already slept with Prince An.

They ruined the young lady's reputation, making her a laughing stock in the entire capital city.

But the stepmother actually told the young lady that only in this way would His Highness Prince An be forced to marry her under pressure.

Miss, do you even consider that someone like His Highness Prince An would be afraid of gossip from the common people?

Besides, everyone in the entire capital city knows that His Highness Prince An and Miss Yong'an are a match made in heaven, destined to be together since childhood.

What are the motives behind the stepmother's blatant publicizing how much her daughter admires Prince An?

Miss, however, was actually bewitched by the stepmother's actions and actually fell in love with Prince An.

This led to a grave mistake at the palace banquet, where she did something as bad as drugging Prince An with an aphrodisiac!

Why can't Miss understand?

After the imperial edict was delivered back to the manor, the stepmother praised her daughter repeatedly for doing the right thing, saying that she should strive for what she liked in this way, and that she was very clever. Wouldn't she become the Princess Consort of An?

The young lady became even more smug upon hearing this.

The second wife immediately wrote to the Duke of Zhenguo, who was far away in the southern border, to inquire about his opinion. The Duke of Zhenguo was unaware of the situation and replied that the second wife could handle it herself. Moreover, the emperor had also issued an edict that there was no need to ask his opinion, and he would not attend her wedding.

After receiving the letter from the Duke of Zhenguo, the lady acted out of character and didn't even prepare a dowry for her daughter. Instead, she hastily carried her to the Prince of An's residence with just a simple wedding hat.

It's not even as good as the concubines that young masters of ordinary mansions take.

Miss, she is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo and the principal wife of the Prince of An!

How could the stepmother do this? How could she treat Miss like this?

Li Feng's puzzled expression did not escape the notice of Lu Xiaoyun and Zhu Yu.

Lu Xiaoyun didn't know what to say, but Zhu Yu didn't bother to explain.

Lu Xiaoyun glanced at the hard steamed buns on the table and said to Li Feng, "You go out first and have Jiang Chuan go to the kitchen to get some food. Tell him that I want to dine at Feixue Garden today."

Li Feng wiped away her tears, happily agreed, and went out.

Zhu Yu looked coldly at Lu Xiaoyun: "Lu Xiaoyun, what are you up to now?"

Lu Xiaoyun raised an eyebrow and smiled, pointing to the jade bracelet on Zhu Yu's hand: "What, this is almost as bad as three idiots, and you still haven't figured it out?"

Zhu Yu glanced at the jade bracelet on his wrist. No one had come over these past few days, but thanks to the super-powerful weapon that was Fatty, his score was now 748 points.

Zhu Yu pursed his lips and glared fiercely at Lu Xiaoyun.

Lu Xiaoyun poured herself a glass of water, drank it, glanced around, and saw Zhu Yu still glaring at her. She sneered, "If I hadn't ordered these things to be sent over, just as you originally prepared for me, do you think you'd still be here talking to me properly? If I hadn't had Physician Jiang treat you and the female physician take care of you day and night these past few days, do you think you'd still be alive?"

Zhu Yu's gaze softened slightly, but only slightly.

"Ha, Zhu Yu, I don't expect you to completely abandon your prejudice against me, but please, as a human being, put yourself in my shoes and think about things from my perspective. If I were the one living here, could you do the same?"
