Chapter 107 Auspicious Wishes (25)

Although I subconsciously felt he wouldn't be in the way, I let him stay to appease him...

But if he's around, I can't just watch the show all day by myself!

Yi Yi wanted to travel back ten minutes to give her irrational self a couple of punches.

She glanced back at Ma Yuliang and saw that he was sitting properly on the kang (a heated brick bed), and he certainly didn't seem to want to disturb her while she waited obediently.

Yi Yi sighed, thinking with a sense of resignation: Oh well, it's not a big deal if I don't watch the plot for a day.

With that in mind, Yi Yi actually began to handle all the big and small matters of the Zhu family.

However, because this period is a high-incidence period for plot events, she had already done a lot of preparation work beforehand.

This includes things like perfecting the original owner's various job duties.

Therefore, there's actually not much work to do.

He returned from a routine inspection, and not long had passed.

Ma Yuliang was still sitting obediently in the same spot, having only eaten a few persimmons.

Watching him quietly slurp up a persimmon, Yi Yi touched her nose and asked, "Are you hungry? Do you want breakfast?"

She's the kind of person who sleeps until noon and eats brunch.

In the game, because the main body is sustained by nutrient solution, it is not so easy to feel hungry.

Therefore, without the cerebellum's reminder, it is easy to forget to eat.

Especially breakfast.

After a flurry of activity, it was time for brunch before I realized I hadn't eaten breakfast.

Thinking that Ma Yuliang had come to wait for him very early in the morning, he realized that he probably hadn't even had breakfast yet.

Yi Yi couldn't help but despise herself for her carelessness. Although it was unlikely that she had been starving for so long without saying a word, she should have asked as a matter of courtesy.

Ma Yuliang's eyes widened, he gulped down the persimmon in his mouth, and then said, seemingly trying to cover it up, "It's okay, Yiyi, I'm not hungry."

Based on this behavior, Yi Yi immediately knew that her worst guess had come true.

"Serve the meal! Serve the meal!"

That day, the people of the world heard it—the young patriarch, who had always been mature and composed since taking over the family—

It emitted a sharp, explosive sound.

"No need to prepare a lavish meal, just prepare something quick and easy to eat!"

Yi Yi hurriedly gave instructions, and Hong Que scrambled out of her room, also rushing to lead the servants to prepare.

Seeing that Red Sparrow quickly brought over a bowl of small glutinous rice balls, Yi Yi breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "That was close, we almost let Commander Ma's only son starve to death in the Zhu family."

Ma Yuliang ate his glutinous rice balls silently.

Red Sparrow and his servants cleaned up the persimmon shells he had left over.

Yi Yi waited silently until the servants refilled her tea and snacks, and then they left her room one by one.

Seeing Red Sparrow approach, he asked her in a low voice if she wanted to stay and entertain the guests.

Yi thought for a moment, and based on her impression, the child probably preferred to be alone with her.

But in such cold weather, she couldn't bear to leave Red Sparrow waiting outside.

So they let her go back to her room to avoid the cold.

Watching Red Sparrow close the door, Yi Yi subconsciously turned her gaze to another living creature in the room.

It doesn't matter if you don't see it, you will be shocked when you see it.

Ma Yuliang, with a spoon in his mouth, looked at the closed door of Hongque with a rather mournful expression.

Noticing Yi Yi's gaze, Ma Yuliang quickly turned his gaze to Yi Yi, then continued eating the small glutinous rice balls in his bowl.

The spoon was scooping so fast that it was one spoonful of glutinous rice balls, one spoonful of soup, and the remaining three spoonfuls were all air.

No matter how you look at it, you'll feel guilty.

What's wrong now, my ancestor?

Yi Yi really wanted to ask that directly, but after thinking about it, she asked in a gentler tone, "Why are you staring at Red Sparrow? Is there something you want to tell me?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Yuliang choked, realizing he had swallowed the few small glutinous rice balls he had in his mouth.

Seeing that he didn't reply, after a while she started patting her chest repeatedly, and Yi Yi exclaimed that something was wrong.

She busied herself serving tea and water, finally getting rid of the small glutinous rice balls that had choked Ma Yuliang, and Yi Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at Ma Yuliang with lingering fear and said, "Yuliang, are you... here to bring me bad luck?"

Ma Yuliang spat out a mouthful of tea, and before he could even wipe it away, he hurriedly denied it: "No, I didn't mean to cause any trouble for Yi Yi..."

Yi interrupted him, sighed, and said, "Sigh... I know, I'm just complaining for no reason."

Seeing Ma Yuliang choke, then cough up tears, and with a tea leaf still stuck to the corner of his mouth, it was quite a sight.

Yi Yi sighed again, turned around and went into the inner room, took out a handkerchief and wiped him clean.

After quickly wiping him a few times, Yi Yi lifted his chin with one hand, carefully checked that it was clean, and then placed the handkerchief on the small tea table on the kang (heated brick bed).

He even watched with great interest as his "human thermometer" heated up, turning red from his neck to his cheeks, before finally letting go of his hand.

He carried the bowl of the few remaining glutinous rice balls to the table in the central hall of the room, then turned to Ma Yuliang and said, "These glutinous rice balls are getting cold, so let's not eat them. Let's keep them for lunch later."

"Okay, okay!"

A joyful voice came from the side room, and Yi Yi knew without looking what kind of expression that person had, like a puppy wagging its tail.

Unable to suppress a smile, and thinking that there was still some time before dinner, Yi Yi returned to the side room, put her hands on her hips, and stood in front of Ma Yuliang with her head slightly lowered, earnestly asking, "So, can you tell me now why you kept looking at Red Sparrow?"

"This one……"

Seeing that Ma Yuliang still seemed reluctant to talk, Yi Yi added fuel to the fire: "Or is it that you've taken a fancy to Red Sparrow?"

"No! No! I was just thinking that she came out of the side room where the concubines were to be served, and later I found out that she was Hongque..." Ma Yuliang's voice grew softer and softer, but what he wanted to say was already very clear.

Yi Yi was prepared for his sudden confession, but the reason for her hesitation was something she hadn't thought of at the moment.

Unable to hold back her cough twice, she continued his words with a slight headache: "So you reacted so strongly because you knew she was my only concubine, Red Sparrow?"

Ma Yuliang lowered his head further and let out a soft "hmm".

Yi Yi just felt that maybe Zhu Yi Yi had some old ailment, or maybe she had played the game too intensely this time.

Otherwise, why would my headache be getting worse?

She straightened up, rubbed her temples, and tried to explain calmly, "Red Sparrow has been my personal maid since I was a child. She knows I am a woman, and she pretended to be my aunt so that I could better confirm my identity as a man."

He opened his eyes and glanced at Ma Yuliang, who seemed somewhat unaware of the situation.

Yi Yi then patiently explained, "So she was just pretending to be my aunt; we didn't have any marital relations!"

The last four words were squeezed out through gritted teeth, but they were so straightforward that even if Ma Yuliang had been given a brain-dead aura, he should be able to understand them.

He nodded as if suddenly realizing something, indicating that he understood.

Only after a moment of realization did they understand how foolish their slight jealousy had been.

Her face immediately turned bright red and she lowered her head.

Seeing this, Yi Yi knew that the matter had been brought up.

After breathing a sigh of relief, I couldn't help but think: Although I don't dislike jealousy scenes, where did this kid get such inexplicable jealousy from?
