The steward didn’t know what Xiao Yu was going to do, but he immediately ordered someone to prepare lunch and sent the menu over.

He looked at Xiao Yu, who was sitting on the bed without any intention of eating, and asked nervously, “Eldest Young Master, do you need me to serve you? Or should 1 call Xiao Si over?”

“Steward, your young master’s lunch is sumptuous. Shark’s Fin Soup with Shredded Abalone, Ginseng Bird’s Nest, and even a simple vegetable dish are all prepared so exquisitely. Truly befitting of the Xiao family,” Su Yingxue teased with a smile.

The steward felt somewhat relieved and replied with a smile, “Miss Su, you flatter us. The eldest young master is the heir of the Xiao family. Who would dare to neglect his meals? However, the young master just mentioned being hungry. Is there something unsatisfactory about the dishes? Should 1 have the kitchen prepare another table?”

Xiao Yu’s meals were always prepared in advance, with backups. Twenty dishes per meal were the norm, and if there were guests, even more would be prepared.

Despite this, Xiao Yu remained seated on the bed without showing any interest in eating.

On the contrary, Su Yingxue examined the menu with great interest. “Your young master has twenty dishes for each meal, and there’s even a team of chefs dedicated to his service. Are you responsible for changing the menu daily?” “Naturally, young master’s meals are meticulously taken care of! Qilin Garden is exclusively responsible for the young master’s meals. There are twelve chefs, from the main course to snacks. As for the menu, it was sent by the main family! Every time the young master goes somewhere, the main family ensures that all his daily needs are met. Especially this menu, as instructed by the main family, the young master’s diet must strictly adhere to it without any deviation,” the steward replied in detail, fearing to upset the Eldest Young Master.

In his presence, the steward felt a palpable pressure emanating from Xiao Yu, different from Chu Yihan’s imposing aura but equally intimidating.

Su Yingxue smiled. “Understood. i’ll dine with your young master. You can go ahead and attend to your duties.”

“Very well, Miss Su. Feel free to let me know if you need anything,” the steward said before wiping the sweat off his forehead and leaving nervously.

Once he was gone, Su Yingxue took out a pen and began making notes on the menu. She then handed it to Xiao Yu. “There’s indeed an issue with your diet. Each day’s meals are rich, but there are conflicting ingredients in every dish. Having them occasionally isn’t a problem, but you’ve been consuming them for years.”

Su Yingxue couldn’t help but marvel at the ruthlessness of such aristocratic families. To harm Xiao Yu, they had patiently set up this scheme over many years, making it difficult for anyone to detect.

Xiao Yu’s meals were very sumptuous. Even if he did not eat until the time of mutual restriction, he would still be affected if he ate for many years. Moreover, this method was not even able to diagnose the illness.

If it weren’t for her mother’s medical skills and Saint Ruan’s love of dragging her along to study blindly, even she wouldn’t have been able to find the source.

Xiao Yu’s hand that was holding the menu trembled slightly. He seemed to have recalled something that made him agitated. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Puff!”

Su Yingxue quickly helped him up and used silver needles to stabilize his heart pulse, allowing him to fall asleep again.

When he woke up, the millet porridge that Su Yingxue had made was ready. She had personally brought something and made it in Xiao Yu’s room..
