As they spoke, Yi Yue had already carried the porridge in, and while smelling the fragrance, Shi Anran's stomach cooed twice, and when she looked at the people in the room, Shi Anran's face flushed red. Shi Yu laughed twice, and patted the back of her hand, "Anran hasn't eaten for a whole day, so it's unavoidable for his to be hungry."

Hearing the ridicule in Shi Yu's words, Shi Anran's face started to burn even more. He pulled up his blanket to cover her face and said sullenly, "Father, you should go and busy yourself, your daughter is fine here."

Seeing her like this, Shi Yu knew that if he continued to stay here, his daughter would probably be bored out of her mind. Coincidentally, he had not finished today's work, so he smiled and nodded, "Mn, then Anran will properly recuperate, father will go to the front courtyard first."

"Yes, Father must also take care of his body." Hearing the footsteps that were gradually leaving, Shi Anran came out from under the blanket, but when she saw Liu Yue's red face, she cleared her throat, "Yi Yue, bring the porridge over, you guys also go down first, I'll call for you if anything happens."

Smelling the fragrance of the porridge on the tip of her nose, Shi Anran endured her hunger until all the servants in the room left. Only then did she hurriedly bring the porridge over and start eating.

After eating a bowl of porridge, he felt much more comfortable. He raised his hand to feel his stomach and satisfyingly lay back down on the bed. After all, the heat had not yet subsided. Not long later, he returned to sleep.

After leaving the Agarwood Courtyard, he had only taken a few steps when he saw the approaching Third Concubine. Seeing her slightly haggard appearance, Shi Yu could guess why she had come to this place to stop him.

Shi Anyi was also his daughter. When she found out that she had done such a vicious thing, the one who suffered the most was him, he had always known that the backyard fight was not inferior to the officials'. An Yi's cute and tender appearance was still engraved in his mind, but he didn't expect her to turn into such a jealous look in just a few years.

"Master, I cooked some soup for you this afternoon and also ordered a few small dishes for you. Please come over for dinner tonight." Before she came out today, Third Concubine had purposely made herself as haggard as possible in order to arouse Shi Yu's tender affection. With swollen red eyes and dark circles under her eyes, when she saw Shi Yu, his tears were like pearls with broken strings.

"Shi Yu has lived in the backyard since he was young, and this kind of drama is what annoyed him the most." Anran was still lying on her bed with a high fever, and the look on Third Concubine's face caused the impatience in his heart to grow even more. She waved her hand and said, "I still have matters to attend to tonight, if you really want to help An Yi, then don't play such a small game under my nose.

With that, Shi Yu turned and walked away without looking back. Third Concubine leaned weakly on the servant girl, the hand holding the handkerchief tightly clenched. Looking at Shi Yu's resolute back, the hatred in his heart towards Shi Anran grew even stronger.

Third Madam, what do we do with Second Miss? It has already been an entire day, and Second Miss is so pampered, can her body take it? Just as the servant finished speaking, Third Concubine grabbed onto her hand, "Since you can't take it, then don't let Second Miss persevere any longer."

The servant girl was also intelligent, upon hearing Third Concubine's reminder, she smiled and nodded, "Thank you Third Madam for the advice, I know what to do now."

"Master, Second Miss fainted in the Ancestral Hall. This old servant has already sent people to find a doctor, shouldn't we bring him out now? Second Miss has never suffered much since she was young, at that time, the one who will feel heartache will still be you." Shi Yu had personally sent people to watch the ancestral hall, but he did not know how Third Concubine did it, so he did not attract the attention of the people around. Hearing Uncle Yang's words, Shi Yu did not doubt him and nodded.

The back of his hand was covered with flesh. Although he loved his eldest daughter more, his second daughter, who was born in a brothel, enjoyed no less than his eldest daughter. In the end, Third Concubine still did not know how to teach her children.

Thinking about it, Shi Yu felt a headache, and his emotions became complicated. He put down the things in his hands and stood by the window. The breeze that blew against him was slightly chilly, and it cleared his mind quite a bit.

In contrast to the bustle of Jian Jia's courtyard, the Agarwood Courtyard was as quiet as if no one was there. Yi Yue and Liu Yue stood at the door to Shi Anran's room, one indifferent, the other with an anxious expression. They looked at the closed door, and without obtaining permission, they didn't dare break in without permission.

"Yi Yue, do you think the young miss has fallen asleep again? How come there's no sound at all? Could the fever have made me faint? "

Looking at Liu Yue who was walking back and forth in front of her eyes, Yi Yue raised her hand to rub her forehead, and pulled Liu Yue's sleeve, "Don't walk around here.

Hearing Yi Yue's words of ridicule, Liu Yue pouted his mouth, "You know my character, and yet you make fun of me. Yi Yue, in the past, when we served by your side, we did not know that you had such a bad mouth."

"That's because I didn't know you talked so much." Yi Yue glanced at her.

"Alright, both of you, stop arguing. Come in." Just as Liu Yue was about to reply, Shi Anran's weak voice came from inside the room. The two of them quickly pushed open the door and walked in, Liu Yue quickly walked to Shi Anran's bed and helped her pull up the curtains beside the bed, then slowly sat up with Shi Anran as a pillow was placed behind her, "Miss, did you know, during the time you were sleeping, Third Concubine used some sort of method to save Second Miss."

Shi Anran turned her head with suspicion, but before she could clear up the doubts in her mind, Liu Yue had already explained, "Miss, you said that after kneeling for just a day in the Ancestral Hall, Second Miss would be so weak that she would faint? Last night, she was quite spirited too, but the ancestral hall was filled with people sent by the old master, what methods did Third Concubine use to deceive the old master? "

Shi Anran rolled her eyes, feeling gloomy.

Her mother had always been in a bad condition, and the power of the clan had always been in the hands of the Third Concubine. After so many years, naturally she had accumulated some of her connections, and although her father had also come from the backyard, he wasn't too clear on the woman's plans. Furthermore, Shi Anyi was also his daughter.

In the past few days, she had been benefiting from her father's attention, or perhaps it was guilt, but she had forgotten that Shi Anyi was also her father's daughter. Last night, she was just faking it last night, and her second daughter had suffered, so naturally she flipped over.

Hearing Shi Anran's light laughter, Liu Yue also felt that it was a pity that this young miss had grown up all night. She couldn't help but reach out her hand and gently pat her back.

When Yi Yue came in carrying the hot porridge, she just happened to see this scene, and when she touched the pain on Liu Yue's face, she immediately thought about how Liu Yue was flustered and exasperated outside because the Second Miss was exempted from punishment, and also guessed what was going on, so she put down the tray in her hands and walked over.
