“Eat? Why aren’t you eating? Young man, let me tell you, food is the foundation of life. You’ll get hungry if you don’t eat.” Ma Hehua said earnestly.

Looking at the plate she had licked until it gleamed, and the empty wooden bucket, what was he going to eat? Air?

However, he was also well-educated.

With a slight, refined smile, she said, "Auntie, please eat. I had a meal this morning, so I'm not hungry yet."

"Oh! No wonder! You ate all by yourself this morning? You didn't even share with your aunties, especially my daughter, she's so frail! You might forget your aunties, but you can't forget my daughter!"

Ma Hehua smacked her lips and said, sounding somewhat unhappy.

Shangguan Wenyan: "……………………"

He put his hand down, breaking the chopsticks in his hand.

"Alright, can't you just shut up? All this food can't shut you up?" Ma Linghua said, frowning.

Didn't you see how unpleasant that man's face was? If she couldn't hold back, it would be Lotus who would suffer.

They really have no tact.

After the meal, they prepared to treat Ma Lihua's illness. Under the puzzled gazes of the three members of the Ma family, Shangguan Wenyan hurriedly prepared a large bucket and boiled a lot of water.

"What...what's going on here? Are they slaughtering a pig?" Ma Hehua asked curiously.

Shangguan Wenyan: "……………………"

"No, I'm boiling water to prepare a medicinal bath."

"A medicinal bath? Do I have to sit in it, and then you add medicine to it while I'm warmed by a fire underneath?" Ma Lihua asked nervously.

Shangguan Wenyan: "……………………"

"No, I'll tell you how to brew it after I've prepared the ingredients." He explained to Ma Lihua with great patience, his eyes full of tenderness.
