Wanruo was stunned for a moment, then her pupils dilated when she realized what was happening. She felt it was ridiculous: "Are you kidding me?"
The Xie family is a century-old family. When choosing a wife, they pay the most attention to the matching of social status. Even if it is a concubine's son, the wife must at least be from a noble family.
The Third Lady was able to marry into a wealthy family because she was just a concubine, and the Third Master had a bad reputation. Not only did he indulge in drinking, gambling, whoring, and even beat his first wife to death, he had no sense of existence in the Xie family, so no aristocratic family was willing to marry their daughter to him, which allowed the Third Lady to take advantage of the opportunity.
Madam 㟧 and the former third madam's families were both prestigious aristocratic families, not to mention that Xie Xianyu was going to marry a member of the Xie family's clan.
She was an orphan from a merchant family, marrying him? It was simply a dream.
Xie Xianyu said sullenly, "I have my own plans. Just stay here and don't try to play any tricks on me."
Wan Ruo lowered her eyes and fell silent. What else could she be thinking? She had been honest for a long time.
"Wanwan, be good and don't make me angry."
Wan Ruo remained silent. He picked up the lunch box and said, "I'll come here every day at this time from now on."
Then he turned around and walked out.
Wanruo looked up and stared at his departing figure, lost in thought.

Xie Xianyu carried the food box into the Xie residence and went straight to Shou'an Hall.
"The eldest young master is here!" Madam Zhuang greeted him hastily upon seeing him arrive. "The old lady was just talking about the young master, and it's a coincidence that he's here."
"I came to pay my respects to the old lady a few days ago. How is her health these days?"
"Everything is fine, but I have no appetite and have lost some weight."
Madam Zhuang saw the food box in his hand and said with a smile, "Young Master is really thoughtful. Which chef made this food? It smells delicious to me."
Xie Xianyu smiled and strode into the room.
The eldest lady was serving the old lady dinner. When she heard he was coming, she put down her chopsticks and said, "Why didn't you send someone to tell me in advance? Come on, sit down and eat."
"Big brother, what food did you bring?" Xie Xiuzhu came over immediately and reached out to grab his food box.
Xie Xianyu walked around her and placed the food box on the table. "I heard Zuli has been having a poor appetite lately, so I specially brought some food that suits your taste. How about trying it?"
Xie Xiuzhu puffed her cheeks in frustration.
"Brother Xian is thoughtful. You are very busy in the court, why bother about a little thing like me?" The old lady said with a smile.
Xie Xianyu opened the food box and took out a small bowl. As soon as he opened the lid, the delicious aroma filled his nose.
"Is it yam and lean meat porridge?" The old lady took a bite and liked it very much. "Why does it taste the same as what Miss Wan made? Where did you find the chef?"
As soon as this happened, the eldest lady's face changed immediately. The old lady didn't know, but she knew that Xu Wanruo was not dead at all and was now brought to the capital by him.
I'm afraid this porridge was made by her!
Xie Xianyu smiled and said, "If Zuli likes it, then go ahead. I'll send it to you every day from now on."
The old lady felt a little sad again: "That girl is the most considerate. When she was in the mansion before, she made medicinal food in different ways. She was also well-behaved and obedient. But she just can't let it go..."
"If she knew that Zu Li was thinking about her, she would definitely be happy."
"Yes, the dead cannot be resurrected, so we must always look forward." The old lady patted his hand. "It's been half a year now, it's time for you to let it go. You don't have to put off your wedding any longer."
"Don't worry, Zuli."
