Yan Ning was flustered and turned her head to the side.
She dared not look into Xie Huaiye's probing eyes.
"No... I didn't dream about anything."
Her voice sounded a little unsteady.
Xie Huaiye raised an eyebrow, wanting to ask more questions.
Just then.
With a loud bang, the door was pushed open.
Master Ye, beaming with health, led two teams of maids carrying trays as they swarmed in.
Instantly, the room was filled with a variety of rich aromas.
"Master Yan! You're finally awake!"
Master Ye's voice was so loud that it made people's ears ring.
He directed the maid to quickly set up a small table beside the bed.
"Look, this is something I specially asked the kitchen to prepare for you: deer antler soup, the best for replenishing vital energy! And top-quality bird's nest, good for nourishing the skin and lungs!"
"And this old pigeon soup, it's been simmered for a full four hours, all the essence is in it! Quick, try it while it's hot!"
Yan Ning was completely stunned when she saw the cups, plates, and bowls that had been laid out in front of her in the blink of an eye.
"ah?"
She hadn't fully recovered from the panic she'd just experienced.
Master Ye personally pushed a steaming bowl of deer antler soup in front of Yan Ning.
His eyes were very eager as he said, "Don't be shy! If it doesn't taste good? I'll have the kitchen redo it right away!"
Xie Huaiye had a faint smile on his lips and tactfully took two steps back.
The best feeding spot was given to Master Ye.
Yan Ning was somewhat at a loss for what to do in this situation.
He had no choice but to sit up under Master Ye's "benevolent" gaze.
She picked up the bowl of deer antler soup and carefully blew on it.
I took a small sip.
Hmm? The flavor is surprisingly delicious and rich.
"How is it?" Master Ye asked anxiously.
"It's...it's quite delicious." Yan Ning nodded honestly.
"tasty?!"
Master Ye's eyes lit up, as if he had received an imperial edict, and he waved his hand:
"Eat more if you like it! Come on, try this bird's nest soup too! And there's pigeon soup as well!"
Thus, under the eager gazes of Master Ye and a circle of maids...
Yan Ning forced himself to drink it, bowl after bowl.
Deer antler soup is fresh and delicious, bird's nest is sweet and smooth, and pigeon soup is rich and flavorful...
The food tasted good, but her belly was visibly bulging.
[Haha, Master Ye has started his pig-raising mode!]
[Ningning: Weak and helpless, but she can drink... This is her third bowl!]
[Help! I can feel the strain just looking at the screen!]
These dishes look delicious, but unfortunately I can't enjoy so many...
Finally, Yan Ning reluctantly put down the empty soup bowl.
I feel like the food is almost up to my throat.
She quickly waved her hand, "Master Ye, I really... really can't eat anymore, I'll throw up if I eat any more!"
"Wow, there's still so much good stuff left! Young man, eat more to stay strong!"
Looking at the nearly untouched main dishes on the table, Master Ye spoke with a hint of regret.
Just then, a figure swept in like a whirlwind!
"Let me do it!"
Sun Wuji suddenly appeared from some unknown corner.
He had somehow picked up an empty bowl.
The target pounced precisely on the glistening, tempting deer leg on the table!
With a flick of his chopsticks, the deer leg landed steadily in his bowl.
"Hehe, if Sister Ning can't eat, it's my responsibility as her brother!"
Sun Wuji grinned from ear to ear and opened his mouth to take a bite.
Xie Huaiye was quick-witted and nimble-fingered.
"Smack!" He was hit on the back of the head.
"You little rascal, besides eating and counting money, can't you do anything productive?"
Sun Wuji covered his head, pouting with a wronged expression:
"Who said that! I know a lot more! For example... for example..."
He talked for a long time, his eyes still glued to the deer's leg.
"Report—!!!"
A sharp shout interrupted his excuses.
A servant rushed in, panting, and said:
"Master! Master! Something terrible has happened! Three people have been arrested outside!"
"They were acting suspiciously, peeking over the wall; they were clearly up to no good!"
Master Ye was regretting that Yan Ning couldn't eat.
Upon hearing there was a thief, his anger flared up immediately:
"What?! You dare to plot against the Ye family?! Tie them up tightly and bring them in!"
Before long, several burly servants pushed and shoved three people who were tied up with hemp rope like big rice dumplings and came in.
"Let me go! Do you know who I am? How dare you!" a sharp female voice shouted angrily.
"It's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!" a male voice cried out anxiously.
Another one kept its head down and struggled desperately.
Yan Ning looked closely.
"puff……"
She couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Those three disheveled zongzi were none other than...
It was Su Muyao, Feng Jun, and Qi Minghao!
It turned out that Su Muyao had watched helplessly as Yan Ning, Xie Huaiye, and Sun Wuji were respectfully asked to leave by the Ye family yesterday, and they did not return home overnight.
She felt a mix of curiosity and jealousy, as if a cat were scratching her heart.
Why were they allowed in? What good thing is happening at the Ye residence?
I simply couldn't hold back any longer.
Just as dawn was breaking, she dragged Feng Jun and Qi Minghao along.
They sneaked out to the outside of the tall walls of the Ye residence.
The three of them clung to the wall like a human pyramid, trying to peek inside.
As a result, he was caught red-handed by the patrolling servants as soon as he poked his head out!
No matter how Su Muyao revealed her identity, how Feng Jun explained, or how Qi Minghao struggled.
The servants only believed that they were scoundrels with ill intentions.
Without saying a word, they tied him up and brought him in.
At this moment, Su Muyao's hair was disheveled and her clothes were covered in dust.
He was desperately twisting his body, trying to break free of the ropes.
She spotted it immediately at the small table next to the bed.
