Feng Wuya hadn't expected Murong Yu to be here.
"I just came to see if Granny Jiang is getting used to living here."
Murong Yu stood up, her posture suggesting she was about to leave.
"Wuya, Granny Jiang's skill in preparing medicine is truly remarkable. With her by your side, your mother can rest assured."
These words seemed to be directed at more than just Feng Wuya.
As Murong Yu prepared to depart, she glanced back at Granny Jiang before stepping out.
"I remember everyone who is kind to my son."
She left.
Jiang Tao wanted to take the tray from Feng Wuya's hands, but to his surprise, Feng Wuya took a small step back when she reached out.
The Prince didn't want to delegate? This was so peculiar, he couldn't understand the reasoning.
Did he want to personally deliver snacks to Granny Jiang?
Jiang Tao quickly retreated, daring not to interfere.
Feng Wuya didn't quite understand her own thoughts; all she knew was that she wanted to do it, so she did.
"Granny, these are fresh snacks from the kitchen. Please try them."
He placed the snacks on the table, pushing them towards Granny Jiang. "Try one?"
Granny Jiang seemed somewhat resistant to him, unwilling to have any contact, not even eye contact.
Although Feng Wuya's voice was habitually a bit cool, it carried a hint of warmth when directed at Granny Jiang.
"Granny, please don't be alarmed. I mean no harm. I just saw the kitchen had made some snacks and suddenly felt like bringing them for you to try."
Jiang Tao also looked at Granny Jiang and said softly, "Since it's the Prince's kind gesture, Granny, why don't you... accept the Prince's goodwill!"
If her mistress were well, she would have been overjoyed for the Prince to personally deliver snacks to her.
Given the current situation... Jiang Tao couldn't say much, so she cast another glance and retreated outside the door.
Granny Jiang glanced at her retreating back. This woman had actually left her alone with Feng Wuya.
With prolonged contact, a flaw would eventually be revealed.
She absolutely did not want Feng Wuya to recognize her now.
Her appearance was so unsightly, even she herself found it repulsive.
She certainly didn't want him to trouble himself or take responsibility for her.
She picked up a snack, turned her face away, lifted her veil, and took a bite.
Afterward, her expression changed noticeably. She dropped the snack back onto the plate and pushed it towards Feng Wuya.
"Granny, you... don't like it? Do you prefer sweet things?"
The kitchen had made them for him, and he didn't like sweets, so the kitchen had prepared savory tea cakes.
However, women, whether old, young, or in between, seemed to prefer sweets.
"I apologize. It was my oversight. I'll go to the kitchen right away and see if there's anything else."
He stood up, about to take the tray and leave.
Granny Jiang felt a pang of helplessness. Before he could lift the tray, she gently tugged at the edge of the plate.
Then, she picked up the bitten snack again and continued to eat it.
She couldn't bear to see him suffer or be troubled.
Seeing this, a flicker of joy appeared in Feng Wuya's eyes. He didn't leave but sat down at the table.
Granny Jiang was a little taken aback. She had thought that by accepting his offering, he would leave.
Why had he sat down, looking as though he intended to have a long chat with her?
However, Feng Wuya was not skilled at conversation; he didn't even like to talk much.
He had always been very quiet.
Therefore, a long talk was out of the question.
He simply watched Granny Jiang eat, watching quietly.
Granny Jiang, however, felt a sense of unease. She finished the snack in her hand and wasn't sure if she should have another.
He was staring at her. What did that mean?
Had he already recognized her?
