1725 Distrust 1 (2/2)

”I've already gotten someone to go prepare it.” Jun Wu Xie said indifferently, not showing much of a reaction to Zi Jin's words.

With Yue Yi's current condition, in order for him to recover as quickly as possible, medicinal cuisine was required. And for the kind of medicinal cuisine that Jun Wu Xie created, besides herself, only Ye Sha and Ye Mei knew how to prepare it, the two of them having been taught step by step under Jun Wu Xie's tutelage.

”Har? Oh.” Zi Jin was slightly taken aback, not knowing what she should say. She could only lower her head in silence, a strange emotion coming over her heart.

In just a while, Ye Gu came walking in carrying a bowl of highly aromatic and fragrant porridge. The smell was different from regular plain porridge, its scent tinged with a slight trace of bitterness.

When Zi Jin smelled that scent, she immediately lifted her head up, to look towards the bowl of porridge.

Ye Gu did not pay any attention to Zi Jin's gaze as he went on to come to Yue Yi's bedside. He looked at Jun Wu Yao seated upon the chair with his legs propped lazily upon his knee and then turned to look at Jun Wu Xie beside Jun Wu Yao. He sighed in helplessness inside his heart and raised up the bowl of porridge in resignation as he sat on the edge of Yue Yi's bed, picking up the spoon to assume the job of a nanny.

”Hold it!” Suddenly, Zi Jin shouted.

Ye Gu turned to look at Zi Jin in puzzlement.

Zi Jin's gaze was fixed upon the bowl of porridge. The porridge was rather special, not cooked with the regular types of grain. The colour of the porridge was also faintly tinged with a trace of green, which made Zi Jin feel that something was not right.

”What is this?” Zi Jin raised her head to look at Jun Wu, her eyes questioning, and looking a little sharp.

Jun Wu Xie narrowed her eyes slightly, and seeing that Zi Jin's gaze was looking slightly different, she opened her mouth to slowly ask: ”What are you worried about?”
