Yun Shifei heard this, couldn't help but furrow her brows, and didn't hand the item to her.
"I'll give it to him myself."
"Miss Yun, let me take it to the young master instead."
Yun Shifei could clearly see the panic in this woman's eyes.
She pushed past her and ran upstairs.
Bang bang bang——
Yun Shifei knocked on the door and called out, "Cheng Lie, are you there?"
At this moment, Cheng Lie was sitting at his desk reading. The boy's complexion was even paler than it had been a few days ago.
The faint light cast over his face, as though it could pierce through his skin.
Over the past few days, Zhao Haishuang and Cheng Huai had deliberately instructed the servants to only give him one meal a day, and the dishes were poorly prepared, consisting of nothing but bland vegetables.
Cheng Lie always stopped after eating only a few bites. He couldn't eat more.
Every year, they would do this, intentionally tormenting him; Cheng Lie had long since grown accustomed to it.
