Yao Ziyang’s forehead was covered in sweat. “Um… Maybe it’s what sister-in-law likes. She would arrange for the kitchen to prepare whatever she wants to eat.”

At that moment, Xiao Xue suddenly walked over and stood beside Yao Ziyang. “Today’s menu has been served. Is there anything else you want to add?”

Yao Ziyang wanted to kill Xiao Xue right then. He was afraid that she would say more unnecessary things, so he quickly dismissed her.

“You?” Yao Gui’s expression was unreadable. “The staff in this villa seem to listen to you more.”

Yao Ziyang’s face turned pale. “It’s not like that, I just wanted to help sister-in-law share her burden–”

“Alright, wait here then. I’ll go check on Zizhou.” Yao Gui interrupted him.

With that, Yao Gui quietly went upstairs to Yao Zizhou’s room. He saw Ming Liuyi feeding Yao Zizhou the Chinese yam congee spoon by spoon. Her movements seemed neither fast nor slow, and every time Yao Zizhou swallowed, she would immediately follow up with another spoonful in a skillful motion.

Even so, Yao Gui did not let go of his suspicion and said, “I’ll do it, I haven’t seen Zizhou in a long time.”

Ming Liuyi did not refuse and promptly gave up her seat.

Yao Gui carefully held the first spoonful to Yao Zizhou’s mouth. However, it was his first time taking care of someone, so he did not prepare the right amount. Before the food reached Yao Zizhou’s mouth, it was already on his neck.

Ming Liuyi reacted quickly, worried that Yao Zizhou would get scalded, and quickly wiped it with a handkerchief.

For the next attempt, Yao Gui did not put too much congee on the spoon, but Yao Zizhou did not cooperate as he had expected. His mouth was very small, and it was not easy to feed him. The spoon tilted a little, and the congee spilled out from the corner of Yao Zizhou’s mouth.

“I’ll do it,” Ming Liuyi said.

Yao Gui stood up awkwardly and returned the bowl to Ming Liuyi. This time, he could feel Ming Liuyi’s care for Yao Zizhou.

Miao Ruiming seemed to have seen through Yao Gui’s concerns and could not help but say, “Madam Yao has already put in a lot of effort. I noticed that Mr. Yao’s legs have not atrophied, and his body is in good condition. This is the result of constant massage and care. With this treatment, I believe that Mr. Yao will regain consciousness.”

As a doctor, he only had his patients in his eyes. Seeing that Yao Ziyang was not in the room, his next words seemed directed at Ming Liuyi, but he was actually trying to knock Yao Gui down a peg. “Madam Yao, with all due respect, the nutrition from the congee is not enough for Mr. Yao’s health. We still need to prepare some other things to supplement him.”

Ming Liuyi naturally understood, and her eyes lit up. She quickly nodded. “It’s my fault for not taking good care of him. I’ll pay more attention to this matter.” Then, she waited for Yao Gui’s reaction.

As expected, Yao Gui said, “I’ll leave the villa to you. If there’s anything you can’t solve, just come to me.”

Ming Liuyi hurriedly said, “Father, I think there are too many servants in the villa now. No matter how careful they are, it’s inevitable that they’ll make a lot of noise. It’s not conducive to Zizhou’s recuperation. How many of them can you take back to the main manor?”

Yao Gui did not refuse. This issue was immediately settled, which caused Ming Liuyi’s heart to finally relax.

Miao Ruiming looked at Ming Liuyi’s honest expression and gave a small smile. “I shall perform acupuncture on Mr. Yao. Please give us some privacy, everyone. ”

Ming Liuyi was in a good mood, so she left the room without delay, bringing her “muddle-headed” father-in-law with her.

To say that Yao Gui did not care about his father-son relationship was far from true. He truly wished for Yao Zizhou’s recovery. But if he really cared, whether it was Original Ming Liuyi’s fault or someone else who caused this, Yao Gui would not have been so ignorant. At the end of the day, Yao Zizhou was a convenient tool for Yao Gui; a weapon that could make the Yao Corporation better. He did not want his interests to be destroyed.

When Miao Ruiming finished performing the acupuncture on Yao Zizhou, he got ready to leave. He could still stay in A City for two more days, which meant that he could perform acupuncture on Yao Zizhou twice more.

Seeing that Miao Ruiming’s forehead was covered in sweat, Ming Liuyi quickly said, “Father, Ziyang, Doctor Miao has to go.”

Yao Ziyang immediately went to see him off.

However, when he returned, he found that all the housekeepers had been gathered. He then heard Yao Gui say, “Liuyi, you can choose a few to stay and take care of you. I’ll bring the rest with me.”

Ming Liuyi pretended to be afraid. “Well… Ziyang is good at managing people, so he should choose.”

Hearing this, the anger Yao Gui had been suppressing the whole day finally exploded. “Is Yao Ziyang the one in charge of the Yao family now?! I’m not dead yet!”

Yao Ziyang was so angry that he almost fainted. He had never seen Ming Liuyi so obedient before, when did she become a yes-man?
