I'm dressed up as the timid eldest daughter, and the whole family has to listen to me!

Su Banxia carried the basket directly into the courtyard, placed the food from the basket on the stone table, and then said to Zhili:

"You say you're Wei Kezhi's subordinate, how can I believe you?"

Zhili hurriedly went to the table, picked up his chopsticks, and began to eat the food on the table.

"If I weren't Wei Kezhi's confidant, how would I know of your existence, or the location of this courtyard?"

Su Banxia glanced at Zhili, who was engrossed in eating, and then said:

"Since you are his confidant, did he ask you to pass on any messages to me?"

Upon hearing this, Zhili paused in his actions, then looked up and gave Su Banxia a deep, scrutinizing look.

"You like Wei Kezhi, don't you?"

Su Banxia blushed.

"Just friends."

"He didn't send you any messages, he just said that if I get hurt, I should come here and you will heal me."

As she spoke, Zhili smiled slightly and then lowered her head to continue eating.

Su Banxia was taken aback by Zhili's words. Did Wei Kezhi think she was some kind of miracle doctor who could save lives? Giving all sorts of people her treatment? Would people keep barging into her courtyard like this, forcing her to treat them?

Thinking this way, Su Banxia felt a little resentful towards Wei Kezhi, but it was good to know that he was still alive.

Su Banxia looked at Zhili and said:

"You said you know Wei Kezhi's secret? What secret is it? Can you tell me?"

Zhi Li looked up at Su Banxia with a hint of inquiry.

Why should I tell you?

"I brought you food and saved your life, can't you tell me?"

Zhili smiled.

"This little bit of food won't buy me anything. I might be staying in this courtyard for a while. If you can bring me some good food and drinks regularly, I might consider telling you about Wei Kezhi's background."

Su Banxia was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. Wei Kezhi's background? Wasn't he just a hunter? What kind of background could he possibly have?

Su Banxia looked at Zhili with some hesitation.

"I'm too busy with my business to come up and bring you food all the time."

"If you want to know his secret, just deliver it once or twice every few days. Maybe one day I'll be in a good mood and tell you everything?"

Su Banxia pursed her lips, lowered her head to think for a moment, then stood up and said:

"Okay, I'll bring the things up when I have time."

After that, he turned around and left.

Upon seeing this, Zhili immediately spoke up:

"Wait a minute, isn't it time you changed my dressing today?"

Su Banxia stopped and turned back to look at Zhili with a frown.

"Can't you do something as simple as changing your dressing yourself? Why do you always have to bother others with everything? I'm treating your illness, and I'm not charging you any money."

Seeing Su Banxia arguing so earnestly, Zhili found it amusing and said:

"If you are willing to change my dressing today, I will tell you some information about him."

After hearing Zhili's words, Su Banxia pondered for a moment and then said:

"Okay, it's just changing the dressing, right? It's not like I haven't done it before."

After saying that, Su Banxia walked to Zhili's side and directly took off his clothes.

Seeing her like this, Zhili naturally didn't resist and let her do as she pleased.

When she applied the medicine the night before last, Su Banxia didn't get a good look at the wound. Now, in broad daylight, the wound seemed somewhat familiar, though she couldn't quite put her finger on why. However, Su Banxia didn't want to ask Zhili directly, lest he try to negotiate with her again.

Without saying much, Su Banxia took the medicine and gauze and cleaned Zhili's wound, carefully applied the medicine, and then wrapped the wound with gauze.

"Now you can tell me, right?"

Zhili smiled slightly, slowly put on his clothes, and said calmly:

"I can only tell you for now that Wei Kezhi is of noble status and is from the capital. If you want to know the rest, then give me more good food to bribe my mouth. Maybe one day I'll tell you everything at once."

Su Banxia pondered Zhili's words for a while. The people in the capital were of unusual status, and Zhili had subordinates; what about Wei Kezhi…

Su Banxia dared not think any further. Originally, she thought there was no difference between her and Wei Kezhi, and they could be considered a good match. But she never expected that Wei Kezhi had kept such a shocking secret from her. It seemed that being friends with him was just wishful thinking on her part.

No wonder he left without saying goodbye; he probably wanted me to forget him and never have anything to do with him again...

Thinking this, Su Banxia felt as if she had been punched in the chest, the pain was unbearable. She picked up the basket on the table without even saying goodbye, turned around, clutched her chest, and led Xiao Hei down the mountain...

Zhili watched Su Banxia's departing figure and murmured to himself:

"If Wei Kezhi finds out in the future that the woman he loves most has misunderstood him, will he still want to live in this world?"

Su Banxia didn't know how she got down the mountain or back to the small courtyard on Dwarf Mountain. All she knew was that she felt terrible all over, and her mind kept replaying her past with Wei Kezhi. She wanted to forget all of that so that she wouldn't be bothered by it anymore...

At this moment, Su Banxia was already in tears. Xiao Hei, who was next to her, didn't know what had happened. He just kept leaning against the headboard and licking Su Banxia's tears.

It wasn't until Su Shiyan and the others returned in the evening that Lianhua came upstairs to call Su Banxia down for dinner. Only then did Su Banxia realize that she had been crying all afternoon. In order not to let others notice anything unusual, she quickly washed her face with spiritual spring water. Now her eyes were not so swollen, but they were still a little red, as if she had been crying.

But everyone downstairs was waiting for her to eat, so Su Banxia decided not to linger too long. She went downstairs, sat at the table, picked up her chopsticks, and began to eat.

Fortunately, no one was paying attention to her. Only Su Shiyan spoke with lingering fear:

"Father, Mother, you must make Auntie San arrange a marriage between my younger sister and the man she brought to our house this morning."

Hearing this, Wang Guihua asked, somewhat puzzled:

“I rejected his marriage to your eldest sister a long time ago, and your third aunt even gave me the cold shoulder because of it. But why did you suddenly bring this up?”

Su Shiyan nodded.

"It's a good thing you didn't agree, otherwise my younger sister would have married a disabled man."

Wang Guihua exclaimed in surprise:

“What disabled person? He was perfectly fine when he left our house after lunch. How did he become disabled? Don’t go around spreading rumors. Your third aunt already has a problem with me because of this. If you go around spreading rumors, what will your third aunt think of our family? He is, after all, your third aunt’s own nephew.”
