Could it be that the pot is broken in Chapter 133?
Jiang Nuanzhi took the silver and squatted down to examine Afu's body.
However, when Afu saw Jiang Nuanzhi, he seemed to be provoked even more, shouting and yelling and trying to get away.
Seeing that he was terrified and looked like he had lost his soul, Jiang Nuanzhi swiftly chopped him unconscious with a chop to the neck and placed him on the heated kang.
"His chest was hit by a heavy object. The injury isn't serious, but he can't lift heavy objects for a while and should try not to pull on the injured area. I'll also prescribe some calming and tranquilizing medication to help him recover."
As they were talking, Jiang Nuanzhi wrote down Xie Liangchen's prescription and Afu's prescription together and gave them to Xie Liangchen.
At this moment, her eyes held a hint of pity as she looked at Xie Liangchen; this young master was likely to suffer.
There are four people in this family, three of whom are sick. Given his pampered upbringing, it's hard to say whether he can manage to take care of them.
Clearly, Xie Liangchen hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation and was still in the mood to carefully examine the prescription.
Jiang Nuanzhi kindly said, "If you need to buy food, you can perhaps come to my house. It may not be delicious, but you should at least be able to eat your fill. As long as you are willing to spend some money."
Xie Liangchen was taken aback, then belatedly pursed his lips: "You want me to have dinner at your house?"
Is that what he meant?
Speaking of their family's meals, Xie Liangchen unconsciously recalled the extremely tempting aroma of pork ribs that she smelled in their yard, and subconsciously swallowed.
But then he realized that there seemed to be a hidden meaning in her words.
He pondered this to himself, and suddenly it was as if a revelation had struck him.
Could it be that her behavior these past few days was just to get me to eat at their house?
With this guess in mind, Xie Liangchen's gaze became strange, and his cheeks flushed slightly.
He felt a slight disappointment. Xie Liangchen had initially thought highly of her, thinking she was different from other women, but he never expected her to have such a plan!
He immediately straightened his face, waved his sleeve, and said, "I don't need you to worry about me."
Jiang Nuanzhi shrugged nonchalantly: "Since you're confident, then good luck to you."
After saying that, he took Ping'er's hand and left.
Xie Liangchen was taken aback: "Go for it? What do you mean?"
Jiang Nuanzhi had no intention of replying to him and continued walking without stopping.
Ping'er turned his head away, looking at Xie Liangchen with a smile in his eyes, a dimple appearing at the corner of his lips.
Xie Liangchen didn't know what Li Junping was laughing at, but he had a vague sense of foreboding.
"Ah Nuan, why did it take so long?"
Just as he stepped out, he ran into Lü Shizhu, who was sauntering into the yard: "That idiot just went to my house to get medicine, but he didn't take the medicine or the money, and he disappeared without a trace without even saying hello."
Having said that, he saw Xie Liangchen and stuffed the medicinal herbs and the remaining silver into Xie Liangchen's hand, and couldn't help but complain to him: "How can your servant be so stupid?"
Xie Liangchen accepted the medicinal herbs. Even though he was somewhat disgusted by this kind of spoiled young master, he still nodded politely and said, "Thank you."
After giving out the things, Lü Shizhu didn't hear Xie Liangchen say anything and ran to Jiang Nuanzhi's side in a flash: "Hurry up, hurry up, let's go back to eat, everyone is waiting for you."
"Didn't I tell you to eat first?"
"How can that be? Didn't you say the whole family should be together?"
He didn't glance at Xie Liangchen even once throughout the entire process.
A hint of surprise flashed in Xie Liangchen's eyes; he had never been ignored so thoroughly before.
And then there's Jiang Pangya, who saw him off at the door but left without even saying goodbye?
A feeling of pent-up frustration welled up in my chest.
Jiang Nuanzhi is one thing, but it's unclear what methods she intends to use.
But what makes this spoiled brat so special?
Back in the capital, even the most privileged and dissolute young men from prominent families were people Xie Liangchen wouldn't associate with. He'd only nod to them as a sign of respect. Let alone the Lü family, a family utterly insignificant and unapproachable; they wouldn't even grant him a glimpse of him. And now, he was being ignored by such people?
At this moment, Xie Liangchen truly felt that his Xie family seemed to have fallen on hard times.
He has fallen so low that he can't even afford to offend a nobody like the Lü family.
He clenched his fists in secret. Next year's minor exam, he would fight his way back to the capital. His Xie family could not stay here forever.
"Young Master? Could you please make something for me?"
Xie Liangchen entered the room with a frown as he pondered his thoughts, and then he heard Chun Tao say something weakly.
He even thought he was hallucinating, and asked, slightly stunned, "What did you say?"
Chun Tao said with some difficulty, "I know that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen, but young master, I haven't eaten a single thing all day, sob sob sob, I haven't even had a sip of water. I really can't hold on any longer. Young master, please have mercy and give me some food and drink."
Xie Liangchen's delicate brows furrowed tightly, but Chun Tao was, after all, his personal maid who had served him since childhood. Seeing her in such distress, Xie Liangchen couldn't bear it.
"No need for that, I'll do some."
He spent quite a while fussing around in the kitchen, but finally couldn't help but frown and come back to look at Chun Tao: "I've had the rice in the pot for ages, how come it's still not cooked?"
Chun Tao blushed. It was the first time the young master had cooked for her, and she felt sweet inside. Upon hearing this, she immediately asked with concern, "Is it because the fire isn't burning bright enough, young master?"
"Fire?" Xie Liangchen nodded belatedly: "Yes, you need to start a fire to cook."
Chun Tao's shy smile faltered.
Xie Liangchen: "How do we start a fire?"
Chun Tao: "..."
After she had exhausted all her words, she finally taught Xie Liangchen how to start a fire. Before she could even exhale properly, the disheveled young master Xie came in from outside.
He looked at Chun Tao intently: "The fire is burning, but why is the pot still smoking? The rice is all black, but it's not cooked yet, so it's inedible."
Chuntao: ".???"
"Young Master, you...you didn't forget to add water, did you?"
"Do we need to add more water?" Xie Liangchen frowned. "Do you think the pot might be broken?"
Chuntao: "."
Help!
Who will save her?
Will I really be able to eat the young master's cooking before I starve to death?
When Jiang Nuanzhi and the others returned home, the old man was already sitting at the table grilling meat.
Not to mention everyone else was hungry, even Jiang Nuanzhi's stomach was rumbling loudly.
Having done a lot of farm work today, he immediately grabbed a piece of roasted meat and stuffed it into his mouth, pouring water on it as he headed into the house.
The old man immediately grabbed her: "Where are you going?"
Jiang Nuanzhi blinked: "I'll go call Li Rong out for dinner."
The old man waved his hand: "No need to go, he's already full. I just grilled some meat for him. There were also ribs, and he ate half a plate of them. That kid eats all by himself!"
The old man spoke with a look of deep resentment and disgust. "That brat is no good at all. Knowing I love ribs, he insisted on taking them from me!"
Jiang Nuanzhi was somewhat skeptical and looked around at the people around her questioningly.
But the waiter just kept his head down, burying his face in the bowl and drinking the soup.
Baozhu didn't even look at her. The little girl who usually sat in front of her was now sitting in front of her brother.
On the contrary, Xiao Xuanting nodded vigorously at her.
"Mmm, Uncle said we won't eat tonight."
