The young master still felt a little aggrieved after being fed the medicine, and he lay in bed humming in a daze.
Chuyi had no choice but to look at the young master: "Master, if it's bitter, I have some candied fruit. Would you like to have some?"
The young master didn't move at all and a muffled voice came out: "I don't want to eat, Chuyi, you get out too."
He still remembered that it was Chuyi who made the medicine. When he was at the villa, the young master naively thought that he could avoid it and didn't have to drink the medicine. Unexpectedly, Chuyi brought it back.
Brother Han Xiao is also a bad guy. He actually fed him medicine while he was sleeping, and...he fed him with his mouth. It is simply unforgivable. He doesn't want to pay attention to Brother Han Xiao anymore, at least...at least ignore him for three days, the young master thought resentfully while curled up in the quilt.
"Master, are you serious? Master Han just prepared something delicious for you, don't you want to eat it?" Chuyi coaxed gently, as if trying to lure the kitten out.
"No, I don't want to eat." The young master's weak voice came from under the quilt.
Chuyi sighed: "Well, since the young master doesn't want to eat it, we can't waste Mr. Han's kindness. Let's eat it together. It was just delivered and it's still hot."
When the young master heard this, he stopped humming immediately. He secretly lifted the corner of the quilt a little and looked out. A pleasant fragrance came over. It was so pleasant. He had never smelled such a fragrant smell before.
Chuyi noticed the young master's actions and laughed secretly, but his hands did not stop moving. He poured a bowl of plum and candied date soup for Shiwu. The silly Shiwu really thought that the young master would not eat it, so he ate it without any burden, and even buried his head in the bowl and could not lift his head.
After finishing a bowl, Fifteen licked his lips and said, "It's delicious. Mr. Han's cooking skills are really good. I want more on the first day of the new year."
Chuyi looked at Shiwu speechlessly, feeling very tired, but he still poured another bowl for Shiwu. The young master couldn't help it this time.
"Don't drink it, Brother Han Xiao made it for me." The young master's face turned red with anger. He sat up and looked at Chuyi and Shiwu fiercely.
Chuyi burst out laughing when he saw the young master who looked like a kitten: "Young master, didn't you say you didn't want to eat anymore? We're almost done."
As he said this, he moved aside to let the young master see the few dishes on the table.
The young master's heart suddenly turned cold, and tears welled up in his eyes as he curled his lips: "Wow, you two are so mean."
The young master doesn't know how to curse, and this is the most fierce he can do. Chuyi finally stopped teasing the young master this time, and stretched out his hand for the maid to bring out the portion made by Han Xiao: "Master, I was wrong, look what this is."
The young master wiped his tears with his little hands and sobbed softly: "What...what?"
He looked closely and saw there was another one. The young master's eyes widened: "Did Brother Han Xiao make this?"
Chu Yi nodded: "Mr. Han made this for you, how dare we eat it? But Master, you haven't eaten much all day, try it quickly."
The young master shyly took the soup bowl and sipped it in small sips. As soon as the plum and candied date soup entered his mouth, the young master's eyes lit up and he looked up at Chuyi: "It tastes good."
"If it tastes good, drink more. Master Han said it's appetizing."
"Hmm," the young master was also so drunk that he couldn't even lift his head. Then he thought of something, "By the way, where's Brother Han Xiao? Why didn't he come over?"
Chuyi paused, then replied, "Master Han is talking to his wife about something and may be back soon. Master, please have a good meal first, and then have a good sleep."
The young master lowered his head in disappointment, and the food no longer tasted good.
After Han Xiao prepared the meal, he asked someone to deliver it to the young master, and then changed direction to find Mrs. Ruan.
At this time, Master Ruan had also returned, and his face turned pale when he learned that the young master had fallen into the water.
Seeing Han Xiao coming, Master Ruan signaled the maid to serve tea, then waved everyone else out, leaving only Butler Ruan.
After Han Xiao sat down, Master Ruan asked, "What do you think about today's events?"
Mr. and Mrs. Ruan still didn't know that Ruanruan was almost taken advantage of by a strange man. Since there were no outsiders around, Han Xiao immediately told them what happened underwater.
Sure enough, Master Ruan slammed his palm on the table with a loud noise. Mrs. Ruan's face became even uglier. She lowered her voice and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Hearing Mrs. Ruan's somewhat blaming tone, Han Xiao did not get angry. Instead, he expressed all his concerns: "Uncle Lin, if I told you in advance, there would be so many people at the banquet and it would be inevitable that someone with ulterior motives would overhear. Besides, I think County Magistrate He might not have known about this matter beforehand."
"So what? Does he really think that my Ruan family is easy to control?" Mr. Ruan could not suppress his anger at all, and his eyes were about to spit fire when he looked at Han Xiao.
"Yes, this method seems to be commonly used by people in the backyard. How could a grown man like Magistrate He not think of such a vicious method." Mrs. Ruan frowned, she really couldn't understand why they would attack the young master.
"Uncle Ruan, the man Uncle Lin and I went with to rescue Ruanruan today is named Yu Pengyi. I heard that he is related to the Chen family."
Master Ruan nodded and said that he would investigate this person, including everything that happened at the banquet. He would find out everything one by one and would never let the young master suffer in such an unclear way.
Yu Pengyi must have been instructed by someone to rescue people, and Han Xiao guessed that the person who instructed him was Chen Jiabao. Chen Jiabao did make some mistakes in this matter. He only wanted the young master to fall into the water and be rescued by Yu Pengyi in a disheveled state. Then the marriage between the Ruan family and the Han family would only be a joke.
Even if Han Xiao could endure it and pretend that nothing happened, he would become a laughing stock in Qingping Town. No matter what, even if the Han and Ruan families became in-laws, it would be a time bomb between the two families.
So it seems that He Xiangdi was used as a gun by Chen Jiabao. After all, the young master had no conflict with He Xiangdi. However, Han Xiao did not care whether He Xiangdi was innocent or not. As long as he hurt the young master, it would be equivalent to touching Han Xiao's reverse scale.
The truth of the matter was similar to what Han Xiao had guessed, but due to the lack of evidence, he could only look for a breakthrough from Yu Pengyi.
However, Master Ruan is not someone who will swallow his anger. He knows that the young master suffered at the hands of the Chen family, so as a father, he must get back at them.
Ever since the Chen family stole the Ruan family's recipe, the Ruan family was almost seriously damaged. Fortunately, Han Xiao later sent a batch of beets, and the fabrics dyed with them were very good, which barely brought the Ruan family's business back.
Since then, the two families have been living in peace. This incident can be regarded as a wake-up call for Mr. Ruan. Some things cannot be settled peacefully just because he wants to.
