"No need," Shu Yun shook her head. Those were dishes from who-knows-how-many years ago, how could they possibly still be available now? "I was just mentioning it casually."

Xie Fu grunted in agreement, glanced at the person next to him, and the person, understanding the implication, withdrew to ask the kitchen staff about the dish.

During this time, they had figured out the situation of this girl named Shu Yun. Their young master truly doted on her, giving her whatever she wanted. However, the girl never asked for anything; it was all brought to her by the young master himself.

The room originally prepared for this girl was never used; she went directly to stay in the young master's room.

According to their thinking, they always believed that their young master's appearance and abilities were so great that even a princess from the Central Plains might not be worthy of him. Initially, everyone was secretly speculating which girl would be chosen in the end.

Some speculate that the Crown Prince will marry a princess from the Central Plains, thus establishing a marriage alliance between the two countries. Others speculate that the Crown Prince will ultimately win the heart of a girl from Xiliang. It's just unknown which noble family's daughter will be the first to win him over.

Later, when the young master's various behaviors made them think that there was no hope for women in this world, a female doctor suddenly appeared, skillfully curing the old master Xie's lingering illness and winning the young master's heart.

This was truly an ending no one expected.

“The wedding is set for the end of the month, there are still some days left,” Xie Fu pushed the dish she had barely touched forward, “Eat some of this.”

Shu Yun glanced up and said, "I don't like it."

Xie Fu didn't let her explain and put some food into her bowl. "I asked other doctors, and they all said that you are weak and need to pay attention to your diet. You can't be picky about food."

Shu Yun stared at the food in her bowl and thought to herself: I'm not an ordinary person. My poor health can't be cured by not being picky about food.

She glanced at Xie Fu secretly and saw that his gaze was fixed on her, as if he wanted to devour her.

Had Jiang Yan ever acted like this before? But she didn't seem to have any health problems back then. She sighed softly, thinking that Xie Fu was simply unlovable like this.

Shu Yun resignedly endured his watchful gaze and ate the food in her bowl.

Just as she finished eating the dishes she didn't like, she heard Xie Fu's deep, pleasant voice say, "Heat up her medicine and bring it over."

He leaned back, met Shu Yun's gaze, and said, slowly and deliberately, "I'll watch you drink."

Shu Yun rubbed her forehead, probably because he had found out that she had secretly poured the medicine.

A dignified deity of the Three Realms, the Lord of Penglai, was actually forced to drink those bitter medicines. He has lost all face and dignity.

Unfortunately, she couldn't explain to Xie Fu that these mortal medicines were completely useless to her.

The servants acted with lightning speed on the orders given by the young master. In no time, a bowl of steaming, dark, viscous medicine was brought over and placed beside her.

Shu Yun felt a headache coming on at the sight of the steaming medicinal liquid. She always preferred things that were sweet and didn't like anything too sweet, and she disliked bitter things even more. Moreover, she didn't know why those old mortals in the Xie family were making her medicine so bitter. They must have added every bittering ingredient imaginable.

She stiffly turned her head away, not wanting to see the bowl of medicine, and tried to discuss it with Xie Fu, "How about I prescribe my own medicine from now on?"

Seeing her evasive manner, Xie Fu chuckled, which startled the servant beside him. He then shook his head. Since Miss Shu entered the household, his young master had been smiling more and more often. His former dignified, cold, and fearsome image was gone forever.

Seeing him smile, Shu Yun thought there was hope, and her eyes lit up.

Xie Fu curled his lips and refused her without wavering, "No."

Shu Yun turned her gaze away in disappointment, landing on the bowl of dark medicine. She thought to herself, "Oh well, I'll just drink it all in one gulp. It'll only be bitter for a few minutes."

Even taking medicine makes her look so bitter and resentful; how can she be so delicate?

Seeing her deeply furrowed brows, Xie Fu felt a little soft-hearted, but then she suddenly reached out, picked up the bowl of medicine that was heated to just the right temperature, and drank it all in one gulp.

He thought for a moment and had someone bring in some sweets for her to eat, so that her mouth wouldn't taste bitter.

Shu Yun leaned back in her chair with a candied fruit in her mouth, letting the sweet taste fill her mouth and slowly dispel the bitterness of the medicine.

"Young Master".

A servant boy walked in and knelt on the ground.

Xie Fu shifted his gaze from Shu Yun to the kneeling person. "What is it?"

"Miss Yanran requests an audience."

Xie Fu frowned: "Who?"

He didn't remember knowing this person.

Knowing his young master's temperament, the subordinate explained, "It's Yanran, the top courtesan of the Dancing Sleeves Pavilion."

Shu Yun's lowered eyelashes trembled, and she looked up at the servant.

Xie Fu noticed her movements and remembered that she had previously mentioned his romantic history. A smile appeared in his eyes, and his initial thought of directly refusing her turned into, "What does she want with me?"

The servant relayed Yanran's words verbatim, saying, "Miss Yanran said she has something she wants to tell you in person."

"oh."

Xie Fu responded with a sound of agreement, but then remained silent, neither agreeing nor explicitly refusing.

He observed Shu Yun's expression. He knew she cared about these things because of Wan Ming's birthday banquet last time, and he knew she didn't like seeing other women around him. He figured it would be the same this time.

The servant had not received any clear orders, so he could only continue to kneel in place, waiting for instructions from his master.

Shu Yun remained silent for a while before asking, "Is it that woman who likes to wear red dresses?"
