Zhan Tianye glanced over.
He knew very well that Yun Shu would definitely not invite him.
However.
Gu Xiaofeng looked back at Zhan Tianye.
Then he looked at the lavish spread of food before him, much of it unfamiliar. They had food, but he wondered if his father did.
"Should we invite Father over?" Gu Xiaofeng thought for a moment and felt he couldn't bear it, so he asked Yun Shu.
Yun Shu had just finished arranging the meal, her eyes only on her three sons, completely forgetting about the unwanted guest nearby.
The unwanted guest was indeed too bright.
She first patted Gu Xiaofeng's head, and just as she was about to speak, she heard Zhan Xiaoli say, "Father had many things to do this morning and didn't have time for breakfast. He must be very hungry now. His health isn't good, and I wonder if he'll get worse if he's hungry."
First move, play the pity card! Zhan Xiaoli cheered himself on mentally.
Hearing this, Zhan Tianye's lips twitched uncontrollably.
Health not good?
He was perfectly healthy!
Yun Shu looked at Zhan Tianye, who had been described as pitiful and in poor health by Zhan Xiaoli.
She hadn't planned on including Zhan Tianye, but seeing Gu Xiaofeng and Zhan Xiaoli speak up, she couldn't let her two sons be sad.
So she said to Zhan Tianye, "If Your Highness King Ye hasn't prepared lunch, you are welcome to join us."
Zhan Tianye had been waiting for Yun Shu to say this.
He nodded.
Yun Shu didn't expect Zhan Tianye to nod so quickly.
For some reason, she felt that Zhan Tianye seemed a bit strange today.
An indescribable feeling.
Especially the way he looked at her, it held a kind of… admiration?
It didn't seem quite right either.
Yun Xiaojing was feeling conflicted. He wasn't entirely sure if his "scum father" was that bad, but Yi Shizi was also very good. It was such a dilemma!
Yun Shu hadn't paid attention at first, but when she said they could start eating, she noticed that the three little ones seemed to have something on their minds.
Especially after Zhan Tianye came closer, the expressions of the three little ones showed a kind of entanglement.
Could it be…
"Don't worry, there's enough food. There's still a food box in the carriage, and we made double portions," Yun Shu said to them with a smile, dispelling their concerns.
Zhan Tianye looked at Yun Shu, then at the dazzling array of food, and asked, "Did you make all of this?"
Not only did she have unfathomable martial arts skills and exquisite medical knowledge, but her culinary skills were also so outstanding?
Seeing the surprise in Zhan Tianye's eyes, Yun Shu immediately said, "No, I don't have much cooking skill."
Her cooking wasn't actually that bad, but she had always put a lot of effort into it without much talent. At best, it was survival-level cooking.
Yun Xiaojing nodded vigorously while eating, "I can testify!"
Mother's cooking is really not good!
When he was young and didn't understand, he ate a lot of meals made by his mother and always got diarrhea!
Fortunately, he had Uncle Jing Heng later!
Zhan Xiaoli and Gu Xiaofeng looked at Yun Shu expectantly, "I really want to eat dishes made by Aunt Yun Shu!"
"Me too!"
They both expressed their desires one after another.
Yun Shu looked at her two sons' expectant gazes and couldn't bear to refuse. Fine, though she didn't like going into the kitchen, she could cook well for them, so she made a promise, "Alright, come to the General's Mansion in a few days, and I'll cook myself."
"I'll take them to the General's Mansion," Zhan Tianye said.
Her martial arts and medical skills were so superb, her cooking must also be excellent. After all, she always liked to keep a low profile, and the more low-key she was, the better her cooking must be.
Yun Xiaojing looked at them, so shocked that he forgot to swallow the food in his mouth.
What were they saying?
They were going to taste the food made by his mother?
And they seemed to be looking forward to it!
This!
They would regret it!
Yun Xiaojing suddenly let out a chuckle.
"Xiaojing, what are you laughing at?" Zhan Xiaoli asked curiously.
Yun Xiaojing shook his head, still chuckling, "I'll be waiting for you at the General's Mansion. You must remember to come!"
The three of them were brothers. They shouldn't be the only ones to have eaten their mother's cooking. Brothers shared fortunes and faced hardships together; they should eat too!
Heh heh heh!
The scum father should eat too!
Hahahaha!
Yun Shu glanced at Yun Xiaojing, knowing what he was thinking, and her lips twitched, "My cooking skills have improved quite a bit recently."
In her free time, she would also think about dishes in her mind.
Since she was going to cook for Xiaoli and Xiaofeng, she naturally had to be more attentive.
"Then we must go to the General's Mansion even more! It would be great if we could go tomorrow," Zhan Xiaoli said, his eyes shining with expectation.
Gu Xiaofeng nodded vigorously, "Yes, it would be great if we could go tomorrow!"
Yun Shu smiled at her two sons, "If there's nothing else tomorrow, you can come."
"Okay."
This reply was not from Zhan Xiaoli or Gu Xiaofeng, but from Zhan Tianye.
Yun Shu looked at Zhan Tianye.
He was elegant and handsome, with no discernible change in his expression.
Did he also want to go to the General's Mansion?
Zhan Xiaoli gave his father a thumbs-up in his heart. Father reacted quickly!
Yun Shu's expression turned cold.
What was Zhan Tianye plotting?
...
Regent's Mansion.
Lu Hao unwrapped the bandages from Zhan Ming's hand.
The gauze was also stained with black spots.
That was the poisonous fluid seeping out of his palm.
Yesterday, Lu Hao had cut open his palm, draining a lot of the poison. Today, the dressing needed to be changed.
Zhan Ming, who had just drunk a large bowl of herbal soup, looked at his pained hand as the bandages were removed.
His blackened palm was revealed.
It was still as black as yesterday.
However, the pain had lessened compared to yesterday.
"Will my hand be black forever?" Zhan Ming asked coldly.
Lu Hao sighed helplessly, feigning seriousness and shaking his head, "It's uncertain for now. The poison has seeped into the blood and entered the internal organs. Now, it depends on whether the poison can be completely cleared."
"Your Highness, Miss Yun sent a letter," a servant reported from outside the door.
Zhan Ming's face showed anger, "How dare she still send me a letter?"
The servant dared not speak.
"Bring it in." Zhan Ming, although he no longer had any affection for Yun Yueyin, still had to maintain appearances.
The servant brought the letter in, and Zhan Ming took it.
He unfolded it and read it.
After finishing, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and he immediately looked at Lu Hao, "You said Miss Yun Yueyin's facial wounds are untreatable, right?"
"Yes." Lu Hao, though he didn't understand why Zhan Ming was suddenly asking about this again, nodded.
Her face was so disfigured, unless his master intervened, there was no hope.
Zhan Ming's lips curved into a sinister smile, "Miss Yun Er was once disfigured. Her facial wounds were similar to Yun Yueyin's, yet Miss Yun Er recovered her original appearance. But you say Yun Yueyin's cannot be treated?"
"Miss Yun Er?" Lu Hao was stunned.
His master?
