The Unkind Human Chapter 21

The next morning, Liam Wei accompanied Charles Chu for breakfast and left the palace. Charles Chu got up early and opened the warehouse and asked Samuel Eunuch Muhan to pack up a lot of things. There were more than a dozen pieces of brocade for official use alone. Charles Chu didn't even have a Linda Li, and these colorful satins were useless in Bitao Garden. Charles Chu simply asked Liam Wei to take them back to honor Old Lady Wei and Madam Jiang.

Liam Wei hadn't been home for more than a month. Old Madam Wei held her grandson in her arms and talked for a long time. She smiled and said, "The palace really takes care of people. The older you are, the better your complexion is. I heard your father say that the guards are not accurate in their patrols and there are always times when they don't have food. Is it true?"

Liam Wei's face turned red. This was indeed true, but he usually ate with Charles Chu. Not to mention not having enough to eat, Charles Chu would scold him if he ate a little less. How could it be like he was really eating with the guards? After every meal, Charles Chu would make him drink nourishing soup or porridge, so of course his face would be in a good mood.

The more Mrs. Wei looked at her grandson, the more satisfied she became. She said softly, "Your wife was feeling unwell a few days ago. She caught a cold. I didn't dare tell you. Now she's well again. You can go and see her."

Upon hearing this, Liam Wei hurriedly got up and went to the inner courtyard to see Madam Jiang. Madam Jiang was wearing her homely clothes and leaning on the bed, drinking medicine. When she saw her son coming, she put down the medicine bowl and smiled softly: "Come here and let me see."
