That evening, He Yunxiao personally delivered dinner to Feibao.
As soon as I entered, I saw clothes hanging in her room.
"Feibao, did you go to do laundry this afternoon?" He Yunxiao asked, recalling what had happened that afternoon.
"Um."
"Wash it yourself?"
"Um."
"Why don't you talk to Jiang Wuyou? She's the one who takes care of all the internal affairs."
When He Yunxiao asked this question, Qing Yuzi fell silent.
He Yunxiao's lips twitched slightly. "You're not too embarrassed to call her that, are you?"
Qingyuzi remained silent.
He Yunxiao sighed. He didn't know whether Fei Bao's "self-reliant" personality was good or bad. Perhaps she had been in seclusion for too long and had forgotten that there was such a thing as "helping" in human society.
"Come and eat." He Yunxiao opened the food box and placed the simple meal on the table.
When soldiers are out on a military expedition, conditions are rudimentary, and this "simple" meal was indeed simple: a bowl of porridge, a piece of flatbread, half a bowl of pickled vegetables, and two boiled eggs.
When it came to eating, Qingyuzi still ignored He Yunxiao.
He Yunxiao didn't tolerate her. He would ignore her when she wasn't looking for Jiang Wuyou, but she still had to eat when it was time to eat.
"Feibao, come and eat, or it will get cold," He Yunxiao called out.
A moment later, He Yunxiao called out again, "Sister Bai Yufei."
Qing Yuzi's delicate brows furrowed slightly beneath her veil. She still couldn't tolerate He Yunxiao's disrespectful behavior towards his teacher, even though he no longer needed respect.
Seeing that Fei Bao ignored him, He Yunxiao simply got up and went to hug Fei Bao, who was sitting on the futon.
He Yunxiao was most skilled at carrying girls. He supported Fei Bao's back with one hand, put the other hand under her legs, and lifted her up with a strong pull.
"You! Put me down!" Qing Yuzi shouted.
He Yunxiao said calmly, "Feibao, speak a little louder, so that the neighbors, Fan Ziruo, and Chu Xiaoxiao can all hear you."
"I..." Sure enough, after being reminded by He Yunxiao, Qing Yuzi's arrogant attitude immediately died down.
He Yunxiao's words clearly indicated he had Fei Bao completely under his thumb. Fei Bao, being easily embarrassed, wouldn't even bother someone to do her laundry; how could she possibly let anyone hear what was happening here? (Biquge)
"What? You think you're right to skip meals?" He Yunxiao retorted, taking the initiative.
Qing Yuzi remained silent, quietly erecting an internal energy barrier to prevent He Yunxiao's words from spreading. It seemed she truly disliked "troubling others."
He Yunxiao laughed when he saw this.
In the past, he was always the one to actively release an internal energy barrier to block out sound, not wanting anyone to hear about him and the female lead. Now, with Fei Bao, it's the other way around; Fei Bao is releasing an internal energy barrier to prevent anyone from hearing their movements.
He Yunxiao carried Fei Bao across half of the tent, then bent down and placed her next to the table.
"Eat up." He Yunxiao sat opposite her, resting his chin on his hand as he looked at Qing Yuzi.
Qing Yuzi lifted her veil to prepare for her meal, when she heard He Yunxiao say, "Feibao, don't you wear a bamboo hat when you eat?"
Qing Yuzi ignored He Yunxiao and continued eating by herself.
She ate half a bowl of rice porridge, left a lot of pickled vegetables, ate half a pancake, and one egg. Then she got up to leave.
"Not eating anymore?"
"Um."
Qingyuzi wanted to say, "I can't eat anymore, I'll eat later," but He Yunxiao didn't stand on ceremony and picked up the leftovers and finished them in two bites.
Then, under her gaze, he calmly cleared away the dishes, as if no one else was around. It was as if eating leftovers was something he was already used to.
He Yunxiao was indeed very used to it, especially when eating with Chu Chu. Basically, Chu Chu would take a bite, and he would eat what was left.
"What's wrong?" He Yunxiao asked, looking at Fei Bao with a puzzled expression.
Qingyuzi paused for a moment, then said, "That was what I left over."
"We can't waste food," He Yunxiao said matter-of-factly.
"If the medicinal herbs I buy are too expensive, just tell me directly. I'll find another way."
“No, no, it’s not that bad,” He Yunxiao quickly went over to help his master sit on the prayer mat. “Our family isn’t that poor.”
“Your home,” Qingyuzi corrected.
"Hey?" He Yunxiao sat down directly opposite Fei Bao. He lifted Fei Bao's veil and looked her in the eye. "You're not trying to back out, are you?"
“That time doesn’t count…” Qingyuzi frowned, about to argue.
He Yunxiao hurriedly said, "How can it not count?! You've tarnished my reputation, and you're trying to renege on it?"
Qing Yuzi was stunned. This was the first time in her life she had ever heard of a woman defiling a man's reputation. Women were the weaker sex and men the stronger sex. Since ancient times, only women had been bullied. How could someone like He Yunxiao take advantage of others and then turn around and attack them?
Fei Bao could not tolerate He Yunxiao's distortion of the truth, and said in a stern and firm tone, "You were the one who took my body, how did it become that I owe you?"
Naive Fei Bao has taken the bait again.
He Yunxiao smiled and said, "You're right, young lady. Let's do as you say."
Fei Bao, who had been tricked, was completely bewildered by He Yunxiao's 180-degree change in attitude.
"What do you mean?"
"Didn't the girl herself admit that she's mine?" He Yunxiao said with a smile.
The customs of the State of Qi were different from those of modern times, and what He Yunxiao said reflected a common phenomenon in the societies of both Qi and Yan. The saying "a woman follows her husband wherever he goes" applied to the traditional marriage customs, and "giving her body" was essentially equivalent to "marrying someone."
Qingyuzi was in seclusion for most of the year, and her seniority made her difficult to argue with, let alone when she encountered the sophistry genius He Yunxiao. She was like a newborn calf being slid into the jaws of a tiger. Ruobao and Mengbao couldn't out-argue He Yunxiao, and Feibao was completely outmatched.
That's the situation right now.
