"Come to think of it, I don't recall asking you if you have someone you like?"

Wang Zhixian brought the teacup to his lips, as if he were chatting casually.

Ali took Wang Zhixian's outer robe and draped it over him, saying, "Not yet, but when it comes, we will definitely inform the young master."

Wang Zhixian took a sip of tea, swallowed it, and then asked, "So, do you want to stay at the villa or go outside?"

Ali stood to one side and said, "I want to stay at the manor and see if I can find an honest and reliable person there. As long as we get along, I'll get things done."

Wang Zhixian felt the tea in his mouth was a little bitter. He put the teacup back in Ali's hand and said, "Then I'll give you a big gift later."

"Then I thank you in advance, young master."

Ahri immediately beamed with joy and put the unfinished tea back.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. "Sister Yue Li, is the young master awake?"

"You're awake. You can come in now."

Xinghua and Chunhua pushed open the door and came in when they heard Ali's reply. The little maid behind them also came in carrying food.

Wang Zhixian stood up, and Ali went over to help him put on his clothes, fasten the buttons, tie his belt, and hang a piece of jade around his waist.

Wang Zhixian watched as Ali helped him with all of this, even giving him a handkerchief to wash his face and wipe his hands, and bringing him water to rinse his mouth.

Next, I served him rice and vegetables.

Xinghua and Chunhua stood to one side, watching Ali busy himself. They secretly winked at Ali, meaning that he should go down and rest and have a meal, and they would serve him.

They had initially thought the young master was just taking a short nap, but it wasn't until it was almost dark that they heard any movement from inside the house.

Ahri shook her head slightly at them; this person was in a bad mood, so she should stay and watch over him for now.

Wang Zhixian ate a piece of crisp bamboo shoot and glanced at Ali.

Ahri lowered her eyes, pretending not to notice.

Wang Zhixian put down his chopsticks. Ali didn't pick up any more food, but instead asked, "Would the young master like some soup?"

"You stay here, everyone else go down first."

Xinghua and Chunhua exchanged a glance, then left with the other maids, closing the door behind them.

Ahri tucked the strands of hair that had fallen across her cheek behind her ear, thinking to herself, "Looks like I'm going to go hungry."

Wang Zhixian placed his bowl in front of Ali and said, "You eat."

"Why?"

Ah Li looked at Wang Zhixian. Was he being unusually nice today?

"The food today is not to my liking, I can't eat it."

Wang Zhixian didn't stand up, but urged Ali to sit down quickly.

Ali sat down, picked up the chopsticks she had used to serve the food, and started eating while glancing at Wang Zhixian.

Wang Zhixian picked up the chopsticks she had used to eat and started eating some food from the table.

He had been ill, so the meals he prepared were mainly light and not very flavorful.

After the two finished eating, there wasn't much food left on the table.

Ali opened the door, and Xinghua and Chunhua were guarding the small house next door. As soon as they heard the noise, they came out of the small house and led the maid into the house to tidy up.

Xinghua glanced at the young master again.

The young master was sitting on a small couch by the fireplace, reading a book with his eyes downcast and a white blanket covering his legs.

Chunhua walked to the side to stand guard, but Wang Zhixian didn't look up; he was turning a page of a book in his hand.

Just then, a fragrant breeze wafted in from outside, and a bright and elegant figure walked in, her voice extremely cheerful, "Young Master, look, I've brought you back some fruit!"

This is another head maidservant of the young master; Yuegui has returned.

Apricot Blossom looked over, and Laurel brought in several kinds of fruits that are now rarely seen, some of which they had never even seen before.

Wang Zhixian's lips curled slightly, "What kinds of fruit did you bring back this time?"

"Young Master, we have grapes, bananas, and apples."

Yuegui had her maid arrange the fruit. She took some grapes and went over to peel one, saying, "Young Master, these grapes are so sweet."

“I also sent it to the old lady. She said she was looking forward to my return.”

Yuegui sat on the small couch, peeling grapes and about to feed them to Wang Zhixian when Wang Zhixian suddenly turned cold and said, "Get down."

Yuegui's hand trembled, and the grapes fell down, rolling onto the blanket between Wang Zhixian's legs.

Yuegui gasped softly, grabbed a handkerchief, and went to wipe it.

Wang Zhixian called out directly, "Liuyun".

Liu Yun, who was guarding outside the door, came in. "Master."

Wang Zhixian said in a cold voice, "Get them out."

"yes."

Yuegui panicked, but before she could grab Wang Zhixian's hand to beg for mercy, Liuyun struck her pressure points, rendering her unable to move or speak, and she was carried away.

Xinghua and Chunhua stood to one side with their heads down. They admired Sister Yuegui for daring to approach the young master as soon as she returned and even feeding him fruit.

“You can take this blanket and throw it away.”

Wang Zhixian pulled the blanket off her legs and threw it on the ground.

It's a bit of a shame that the apricot blossoms only had a little bit of grape juice on them.

However, things still need to be sorted out.

"Give the order: I want to take a bath."

"Yes, young master."

Xinghua and Chunhua went out, and no one remained in the house.

Wang Zhixian stood up, walked to the table, and looked at the fruit that Yuegui had brought back.

Five years ago, this person volunteered to go to the hot springs to grow fruit, saying that he wanted to be able to eat fresh fruits and vegetables even in winter.

However, there are some fruits that even his resourceful second brother has never seen before. Where did she get the seeds from, and how did she grow them?
