Chapter 133: Cleanliness and Ended fast
Of course, Xiao Tianyao is not looking down on Guo Gongfu. Guo Gongfu helping him is a good thing, but⦠â¦
He doesnât want him and Lin Chujiu stay together just because of that interest in mind.
Xiao Tianyao didnât directly answer Meng Laofurenâs question. He only said: âMeng Laofuren, benw.a.n.g didnât marry Chujiu for her backing.â
This is true. Xiao Tianyao didnât marry Lin Chujiu because there were big forces behind her. Everyone knows that Xiao Tianyao only married Lin Chujiu because of an imperial edict. That is why Meng Laofuren was so worried.
âw.a.n.gye, now that the two of you are married. Chujiu is now your wife. Xiao w.a.n.gfu and Guo Gongfu are now in the same boat.â Meng Laofuren said even though she knows that this s.h.i.+p is not reliable. But for the sake of Lin Chujiu, she can only make a gamble on this.
Xiao Tianyao got impressed with the old ladyâs courage. But, he has his own principle: âMeng Laofuren, benw.a.n.g would like to cooperate with Guo Gongfu, but not in this kind of way. After all, Chujiuâs uncle will be the head of Guo Gongfu in the future. Benw.a.n.g doesnât want Chujiu to be blamed by her uncles later.â
Xiao Tianyaoâs words were full of concern to Lin Chujiu. Which made Meng Laofuren think that Lin Chujiu marrying Xiao Tainyao is such a good blessing.
But, if only she knows the real relations.h.i.+p of Lin Chujiu and Xiao Tianyao. She will definitely not think like this.
However, with Xiao Tianyaoâs kind words. The last trace of doubt in Meng Laofurenâs heart dissipated. She came today to see if Lin Chujiu is living well. But, Xiao Tianyao made her see clearly that Lin Chujiu is not lonely. And even without Guo Gongfuâs backing, he doesnât despise Lin Chujiu.
Meng Laofurenâs purpose in coming was met. So now, she can finally relaxed and exposed her weakness.
After all, she was too old to keep this up. In the capital, old people like her age and who is sicked are only lying in bed. They rarely go out to walk like her.
When Xiao Tianyao sees this, he immediately ordered the maidservants to help the old lady to rest in the room. And only bring her back once their lunch are ready.
Meng Laofuren knows her condition very well, so she didnât refuse Xiao Tianyaoâs kindness.
So, when Lin Chujiu came back, she only saw Xiao Tianyao and heard that Meng Laofurenâs was resting in her room. Lin Chujiu didnât went to her grandmother, instead, she bowed her head to Xiao Tianyao and said: âw.a.n.gye, thank you for todayâs event.â
Without Xiao Tianyaoâs cooperation, Meng Laofuren will definitely not believe her words that easily.
âNo need, we are couples.âHe didnât cooperate with her today. Every action he took is sincere. However⦠⦠he knows that Lin Chujiu will not believe it.
And just like what heâs expecting, Lin Chujiu only said: âOhâ and no longer speak again.
Meng Laofuren is not in the same room as them, so she doesnât need to act naive or happy. But, because she could throw Xiao Tianyao out, all she could do is stay with him and sit.
After staying silent for a long time, Lin Chujiu felt bored. So, she unconsciously taps her finger over the table and thinks about Third Prince Xiao Zianâs condition.
When she checked Third Prince Xiao Zianâs condition before, the medical system cannot diagnose his illness. So right now, she wonders if Divine Doctor Mo was able to find out his disease.
Lin Chujiu had researched about some incurable disease in her previous life. So, it can be said that sheâs not afraid to encounter incurable disease, instead, she wanted to overcome and discover each one of them. And if only heâs not from the royal family, she will certainly do an experimentation until she cures him. But⦠â¦
Itâs a pityâ¦â¦
âPity, what?â Xiao Tianyao who is silent for a long time suddenly said. So, Lin Chujiu got startled and stared at him blankly.
Xiao Tianyao patiently repeated: âYou said itâs a pity, whatâs that all about?â
It turns out that with Lin Chujiuâs carelessness, she accidentally said her words out loud.
Lin Chujiu got stunned for a moment. If it was like before, she could just reply him with âItâs nothingâ. But today, Xiao Tianyao helped her. Lin Chujiuâs face is not that thick, so she answered his question even though she still has resentment: âI was thinking about Third Prince Xiao Zianâs legs. Because I donât know if heâs now finally cured.â
No matter how bad Divine Doctor Moâs personality is, his medical skill is excellent. Unfortunately, they have a grudge against each other, so she couldnât become his apprentice.
âYouâre worried about Third Prince Xiao Zian?â Xiao Tianyaoâs eyes squinted a bit with a dangerous look.
Lin Chujiu was still thinking about Third Prince Xiao Zianâs legs, so she didnât notice the change in Xiao Tianyaoâs face. But, she instinctively shook her head and said: âIâm not familiar with the Third Prince, so I canât afford to get worried about him. Iâm just curious about his disease.â Although the medical system didnât require her to cure the Third Princeâs legs. Discovering his disease will give her a sense of a great accomplishment.
When Xiao Tianyao heard her words, the murderous aura he has in his body instantly disappeared. And it was changed with good vibes: âIf you are that interested. You can go to the palace to see him.â
Lin Chujiu knows very well that the only thing that can stop the healing process is called the âAccidentâ. So, if she entered the palace and the Third Prince got into an accident. What will she do?
âNo, I just got bored and suddenly think of it.â
Xiao Tianyao knows that Lin Chujiu doesnât have any plan to go. So, he no longer persuades her. The two of them fell silent once again. Fortunately, not long after, some people came and ask permission to enter and deliver their foods.
Lin Chujiu took this opportunity to go and see her grandmother. Xiao Tianyao knows that Lin Chujiu is still avoiding him. But, what can he do?

When the three of them started eating, they just eat and didnât speak. Lin Chujiu maintain her etiquette during this feast. But, from time to time, she tried putting some dishes in Meng Laofurenâs bowl. And then, she will eat quietly again. Meng Laofuren notices that Lin Chujiu was only serving her, so she told Lin Chujiu to also serve Xiao Tianyao.
Lin Chujiu didnât refuse her grandmotherâs request, but she said: âGrandmother, w.a.n.gye doesnât like to eat food that was touched by other people.â
Xiao Tianyao had a slight obsession with cleanliness. People whoâre familiar with him was aware of it.
âAhh! Is that so⦠â¦â Meng Laofuren felt a little uneasy. And then, she carefully looked at Xiao Tianyaoâs dishes. Meng Laofuren notices that Xiao Tianyao only has a few dishes in his bowl. Most of them are foods that she and Lin Chujiu didnât touch.
Xiao Tianyao looked at Lin Chujiu in the eyes. And then, he put down his chopsticks and said: âMeng Laofuren, donât listen to Chujiuâs nonsense. Benw.a.n.g is not that picky.â Heâs only a little picky. So, almost no one has noticed it.
Xiao Tianyao doesnât know how did Lin Chujiu found out about it. Because even Su Cha and Liu Bai didnât notice this habit of him.
âWonât pick it, wonât pick it.â Meng Laofuren now felt awkward to eat, so she felt like chewing a wax inside her mouth.
Obviously, eating with someone like Xiao Tianyao whoâs picky about food is very unappetizing. So, after eating two more spoons full, Meng Laofuren already put down her chopsticks.
âGrandmother?â Lin Chujiu felt a little regretful. If she knew things would be like this, she wouldnât say those words.
Meng Laofuren, actually doesnât mind, so she looks at her and said with a big smile: âGrandmother is now very old and canât eat much. Donât mind me, just continue to eat.â
But, how could she do that?
Lin Chujiu couldnât bear to do it, so she also followed and put down her chopsticks. Xiao Tianyao also loses his appet.i.te, so their lunch ended fast.
Old people always think too much. So seeing most of the food were untouched, Meng Laofurenâs heart couldnât help but feel uneasy.
Supposedly, she shouldnât feel like this because Lin Chujiu and Xiao Tianyao had a good relations.h.i.+p. But, there is still this inexplicable doubt inside her heart⦠â¦
