"Yes. Miss. Miss, have you had a bad appetite these past two days? I saw that the lady didn't even touch the food delivered from the kitchen!"
"One thing. I stay in my room every day and have no appetite for anything."
"Miss, please be patient for a few more days. The fourth young master will help the lady take care of everything."
"Is Fourth Brother usually very busy?"
"Um."[
"What is he busy with?"
"All the daily affairs of the palace, financial expenses and income, the purchase of food and vegetables for the kitchen, the repairs of the houses in the palace...everything is handled by the Fourth Young Master."
"Isn't there a butler in the palace? And there are so many people in the Zhuo family, why do you let the fourth brother do all this alone?"
"This..." Mrs. Xiao hesitated.
"Speak directly if you have anything to say. To me, Madam is my stepmother and Feiyan is my daughter. There is no need to adhere to any formalities or scruples!" Feiyan dismissed her worries.
"Does the young lady know that the Fourth Young Master was ill when he was a child?"
"I heard that my fourth brother got seriously ill and couldn't practice martial arts anymore."
"As a descendant of the Zhuo family, but unable to practice martial arts, the fourth son's life is ruined! He can only stay in the house doing odd jobs and doing some mundane management work for the rest of his life."
Mrs. Xiao even sighed in her tone. It was obvious that she felt distressed and helpless about Zhuo Lei's experience.
"Is it so miserable if I can't practice martial arts?"
"Yes. The strength of martial arts represents a person's identity, which in many cases even goes far beyond bloodline identity!"
…
More than a dozen people stood on both sides of the martial arts training hall with serious faces, and Fei Yan stood in the middle. Today, she is the protagonist.
A big furry hand touched all the bones on Feiyan's body...
"How disgusting! Don't touch me!" Fei Yan cursed in her heart!
Feiyan endured it and remained motionless, letting the big hands touch her body. If it were on earth, she would have invited him to eat lotus seed soup!
How come there are such perverted rules?
Do you need to touch all the bones in your body to test your martial arts talent?
"This is definitely eating tofu!"[
Feiyan protested in her heart.
If the burly and powerful middle-aged man with a thick beard touching all her bones was not her uncle, she would definitely throw him over her shoulder and make him crawl on the ground and eat dirt!
