“The meal that I’ve prepared is different from those prepared by the kitchen, Aunt, don’t you trust me? Unless you’re afraid that I’ve poisoned the food, you can always look for someone to test it first.”

Even if the medicinal herbs were added into the herbal dish, it was actually good for health. Plus, this time round, she’s only created some qi replenishing herbal dish, so it should not do any harm to the person taking it.

Just when Qin Yi was still hesitant, Dai’er brought out some tableware, opened the meal box and took out a piece of dark-boned chicken meat and placed it into a bowl.

“Dai’er!”

Qin Yi was pale from shock, she wanted to stop her but it was a little too late. Dai’er had already bitten into the chicken’s flesh and was gobbling it down the delicious food..

“Mother, why don’t you and Aunt join me? It’s delicious.”

Feng Ruqing’s facial expression turned dark,

“Dai’er, where did you get the tableware from?”

Dai’er blinked as she replied, “When Cousin was boiling the soup… I kind of stole it, was afraid that all of you wouldn’t let Dai’er eat.”

Her cousin had said from the beginning that this meal was specially prepared for her aunt, so what if they did not allow her to eat? Hence, she stole some tableware. If they decided to not give her a portion of the food, she would take it on her own.

“Don’t you know that this is very impolite?”

Feng Ruqing gently brushed Dai’er’s head.

Dai’er thought for a moment and said, “But… Mother is not eating, so Dai’er shall eat it to show her how delicious it is.”

Feng Ruqing thought for a while only to realize that Dai’er was just afraid that her mother and Aunt Yao were not willing to eat the prepared meal. Hence, she ate it first to show them that it was safe.

“Dai’er.”

Qin Yi had her eyes locked on her.

“Are… Are you alright?”

Dai’er’s little chubby and rosy face glowed adorably.

“It’s delicious. Mother, let’s eat.”

Looking at Dai’er safely consuming the meal, Qin Yi heaved a sigh of relief. Her eyes were apologetic as she looked at Feng Ruqing.

“My apologies, Princess. I’ve misunderstood your intentions.”

Feng Ruqing smiled. “Aunt being nervous and cautious is just. I used to do a lot of bad things in the past and it’s understandable that you don’t trust me entirely. Plus, you are worried about Aunt Yao’s health. I understand.”

…

Wei Pinyao struggled to sit up from her bed that was situated atop the beautifully carved bed frame. She seemed unconvinced and astonished that Feng Ruqing would say such things.

She was skeptical about Feng Ruqing’s intentions.

“Sister…”

Wei Pinyao looked up and saw Qin Yi. Her face looked like she was still trying to understand the current situation.

Qin Yi smiled while trying to comfort Wei Pinyao.

“Since this meal will not give you diarrhea, then you can eat with ease. Don’t let her efforts go to waste.”

Regardless of whether was she willing to forgive Feng Ruqing, the most important thing now was to stay alive. So she would most certainly choose to accept her kindness.

But… there were just too many thorns in her heart. To pluck them all out would be too difficult a task… Too difficult.

“Maid, bring the tableware for the lady.”

“Yes.”

The maid quickly went to retrieve the tableware.

Shortly after, the maid returned with the requested items. She then proceeded to fill the bowl to the brim with soup and brought it to Pinyao’s bedside.

Cough!

Wei Pinyao coughed again. Her face was pale and her body was frail—it looked like she would collapse from a gentle breeze.

Frail-looking Wei Pinyao still looked more beautiful than Wei Mengjie, who wore heavy makeup. It was no wonder Qin Xun was so deeply in love with her. In order to prevent her from suffering, he was willing to not have a child.
