After returning to the capital, the eldest daughter saved her entire clan with her medical skills.

Chapter 210 Refusal to Eat

How will she ever be able to mention this to her ancestors again?

"Grandmother, it's alright. Anyway, I'm free today, so I'll cook a few dishes for you, Mother, and my sisters-in-law to try."

"You silly girl, you spoil your grandmother so much. We've been eating and drinking well these days, there's no need for you to cook for us."

"Grandmother, didn't you just say that the steamed fish was delicious, as well as the salt and pepper shrimp and the sweet and sour pork? I'll make more this time so that my sisters-in-law can have a taste too."

Last time, in order to seek justice for Li'er at the academy, she deliberately cooked several dishes and sent them to the headmaster and teachers.

There wasn't much to begin with, and only my grandmother and mother got to taste it. My two sisters-in-law didn't get any. This time, I'm determined to make more so that everyone can eat their fill.

"Of course I want to eat it, but my grandmother feels bad that my granddaughter has to suffer again."

Since her beloved granddaughter returned to Beijing, she has felt cheerful and good things have been happening one after another.

Putting everything else aside, the Regent alone was someone their General's Mansion couldn't influence before. The Prince was aloof and indifferent, and didn't like making friends.

Which court official wouldn't want to show their face in front of the regent? Who wouldn't want such a powerful backer?

Her precious child, after only a month or so of returning to the capital, was able to establish a relationship with the Regent.

I've heard that there are far fewer impeachment notices for Yan'er in the court now, and even the Left Chancellor doesn't dare to bring up the Xue family army so casually anymore.

"Since you want to eat, you can just wait for the meal to be served. Your granddaughter is young and won't feel tired."

After comforting Madam Xue, Xue Ruanruan carried the vegetables, fruits, rice, and flour straight to the kitchen.

"Princess, the young master still refuses to eat, and says that the food prepared by the cooks in the manor is terrible."

Qi, the nanny who served Xu Zijun closely, looked worried. The young mistress had become increasingly picky lately, saying that no matter what the cooks made, she would say it was not delicious.

Seeing her face getting thinner and thinner, even she, the servant, couldn't bear it anymore. Fearing something might happen, she quickly reported to the princess.

"The cooks in the manor have already been replaced, but Jun'er is still not satisfied?"

Princess Qiling's face flashed with heartache. She dismissed the maid who was massaging her back and shoulders, her beautiful eyes wide open, and her every move exuded an air of elegance and nobility.

"Yes, the young master is making a ruckus in the front yard."

"I understand. Come with me to the front yard and see what Jun'er is up to."

Princess Qiling got up, and her maidservant quickly draped a thick cloak over her to prevent her mistress from catching a cold.

“Young Master, please eat something! You haven’t eaten a single thing since you returned from the academy yesterday. How am I supposed to explain this to the Princess?”

Xu Zijun's personal maid looked worried. Her young mistress was becoming increasingly difficult to please. She used to enjoy everything she ate and was never picky about food. Why had she become so picky about food these past few days?

"I won't eat, I won't eat, I'd rather starve than eat."

Xu Zijun threw a tantrum and refused to eat no matter how her maid tried to persuade her.

"Jun'er, you're throwing a tantrum again."

Supported by her maids and nannies, Princess Qiling walked through the snow and heard her youngest son making a ruckus in the main hall from afar. Her face was full of heartache.

"Mother, why have you come here?"

Upon hearing her mother's voice, Xu Zijun quickly sat up straight, her attitude respectful and her demeanor upright, showing no trace of her earlier tantrum.

"I heard that you refused to eat anything after returning home yesterday. Your mother was worried about you, so she came to check on you."

Princess Qiling felt helpless and heartbroken. This child used to be a picky eater, with a great appetite, eating everything and never refusing to eat.
