Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Stubborn as a Bull

“Princess, please say no more, seeing you suffer pains me even more,” Jin Hua said quickly before she hastened away.

……

She deceived everyone in the manor and secretly made a bowl of porridge to bring to Su Yan.

Seeing that the Marquis was not present, she hurriedly carried the porridge to the bedside of Su Yan and said with a smile,

“Princess, I have made some porridge for you. If you eat some, you won’t be hungry.”

Jin Lan also quickly came over to help; she helped Su Yan sit up while Jin Hua scooped a spoonful of porridge to feed her.

“I won’t eat…”

Su Yan stubbornly turned her head away.

Indeed, the aroma of the rice porridge was very tempting.

But she could not eat, for that would mean admitting defeat.

If she admitted defeat, Chu Yuxiao would become even more overbearing and bully her mercilessly in the future.

She did not want such an outcome; at the very least, she wanted equality and mutual respect between them.

“Princess, please eat a little. If the Marquis returns, you won’t be able to eat,” Jin Hua urged anxiously.

“Princess, just eat a little, the Marquis won’t know,” Jin Lan also became anxious.

Su Yan’s eyes moved slightly; looking at the creamy and fragrant rice porridge, her stomach embarrassingly grumbled.

To eat or not to eat?

Eating a little should be fine; Chu Yuxiao won’t know.

She licked her dry lips, just about to say, ‘Alright, I’ll eat a little.’ when suddenly, from the corner of her eye, she spotted a swathe of black robes.

“I won’t eat.” The words, ready at her lips, changed.

“Princess!”

Jin Hua had never thought, like she did at that moment, that the Princess was as stubborn as an ox.

“What are you doing?”

Chu Yuxiao elegantly walked in, his eyes casually falling on the bowl of rice porridge in Jin Hua’s hand.

Jin Lan and Jin Hua were startled and hastily stood up to bow.

“This servant greets the Marquis.”

“What are you holding in your hand?” Chu Yuxiao asked, his tone almost playful.

Jin Hua clenched her teeth, kneeling on the ground as she said emotionally,

“Marquis, this is the rice porridge this servant made for the Princess.

The Princess has not eaten for two days now. Marquis, please allow the Princess to eat a little.

If this continues, the Princess’s health will deteriorate.”
