Chapter 402 - 12.10
As promised, Xu Jiansheng returned to Bai Yunyu’s courtyard the following evening. He saw Bai Yunyu was eating alone.
"Where’s your servant? Why are you eating alone?" Xu Jiangshend asked as he jumped in from the window.
"My servant, Meilan, is eating her dinner with other servants right now. Besides, I asked her to leave since I know that you’ll be coming," Yunyu answered as he pinched the boiled fish in front of him and ate a bit.
Xu Jiansheng frowned when he saw the food. He asked, "How come you only eat that for your dinner? You’re already bone thin. You should eat more!"
Yunyu answered calmly as he continued munching bits by bits of his evening food, a piece of boiled fish.
"This is part of my punishment. His Majesty punished me because I don’t want to bow down to his order. So he punished me by eating this only every evening."
"His Majesty as in... your husband, Emperor Xianliang, right?"
"Indeed."
"How could a husband do something so cruel to his wife!?" Xu Jiansheng was astonished by the condition presented in front of him. Xu Jiansheng went outside for a moment and returned to Bai Yunyu with a box of rice, soup, and chicken, "You need to eat. I bring you some food to fill your stomach. Aish, your husband, is a bastard, torturing you like this!"
Bai Yunyu stared at the food brought by Xu Jiansheng, he used his chopstick to ate a bit, but because he was used to not eating at all, when he tried eating more than his regular portion, Bai Yunyu started retching, as if he would puke everything out.
"Why did he do this to you?" Xu Jiansheng asked. He seemed stressed with Yunyu’s condition. He gave Bai Yunyu water to stop him from retching. After Bai Yunyu felt better, he replied.
