Lu Yuhong said, "I'm only one-third full. If I wasn't embarrassed to trouble Miss Wei, I would have asked her to cook a few more."
Immediately after, Lu Yuhong sighed and said, "It would be easy if we could exchange money for her grilled fish, but this is really difficult. I actually want to buy it from her, but she is a lady from a noble family. If I give her money, I will belittle her.
If I give her something else, it's not appropriate. She is a girl and I am a rough man. I don't know if she would mind if I give her something. If someone hears about it and tarnishes her reputation, it won't be good."
"I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful at this time." Chu Lan said.
"Your Highness, don't make fun of me. Although I'm a bit rough, I still understand the basic rules." After all, he came from a prestigious family.
Then Lu Yuhong sighed, "When do you think I can eat Miss Wei's food again? Otherwise, I should think of a way to give Miss Wei a big gift, so that she may continue to make delicious food for me next time. But how can I give a big gift to an unmarried girl with a proper reason?"
Lu Yuhong kept muttering to himself.
Chu Lan and Xie Jue shook their heads helplessly when they saw him muttering so much.
Then no one paid attention to him anymore. Once the foodie's mind was occupied by food, it would be difficult for him to get out of it for a while. Let him worry for himself, and when time comes, he will think it over.

When Wei Ruo and Xiumei returned to the Xie family's Bie Courtyard where they were staying temporarily, Yun Shi and Wei Qingwan had already returned.
Upon seeing Wei Ruo return, Yun Shi asked, "Where did Ruo’er go with Miss Xie today?”
"I went on a boat trip to East Lake," Wei Ruo replied, not intending to say a word about Chu Lan, Lu Yuhong, and Xie Jue.
"Well, this time we got help from the Xie family. So next time when you go to the Xie family again, please help me bring some gifts over and show my appreciation," said Yun Shi.
“I understand.”
Wei Ruo turned around and left, and Wei Qingwan also followed out.
Outside the house, Wei Qingwan came to Wei Ruo and asked, "Sister, did you hear Miss Xie talk about her brother when you went out today?"
Wei Ruo stopped and turned to look at Wei Qingwan with interest.
"Why are you asking about Young Master Xie?"
"Sister, don't misunderstand. I'm not inquiring about Young Master Xie, I just heard that the reason why Young Master Xie has been staying in Taizhou Prefecture lately is because of Young Master Chu."
Wei Ruo showed a look of understanding, "So, you want to inquire about Young Master Chu?"
"Sister, don't misunderstand. Young Master Chu has a special status, if our Wei family were to gain Young Master Chu's appreciation, it would be extremely beneficial to Father and the family. I am asking this not for myself, but for the sake of the Wei family."
"So the way you thought of to gain Young Master Chu's appreciation is to offer yourself up?" Wei Ruo said.
"Sister, you are looking down on me by saying this. I don't have such thoughts." Wei Qingwan immediately denied it.
"You know it yourself, otherwise what can you do even if I ask about Mr. Chu? Ask Father to flatter him?" Wei Ruo asked with a smile.
Wei Qingwan remained calm and said, "I don't mean that. I just want my sister to find out about Young Master Chu's preferences from Brother Xie. If we understand him more, we could conveniently act. It’d be better if you know his preference, but it’s also fine if you don’t."
"Then you should work hard for the future of the family." Wei Ruo smiled brightly, then turned around and left.
