When he returned home, the servant had just finished making dinner.
Seeing him, the housemaid Chen's mother asked with concern, "Young master, have you had dinner? I've just finished cooking. Would you like some?"
Pei Yuanze seldom ate at home, so Chen's mother didn't know whether he had eaten or not.
"Mm-hmm," Pei Yuanze nodded and sat down across from Xia Yu.
Xia Yu glanced up at him and said nothing, then continued to bow her head and eat.
Pei Yuanze noticed that her bowls and chopsticks were separate and all of different colors. And she used a separate pair of chopsticks to serve herself food...
Seeing his confusion, Chen's mother explained with a smile, "Young master, the missus is in poor health, which makes her easily susceptible to infections, so she uses separate utensils during her pregnancy."
Was that a reason? The utensils at home were strictly disinfected, so there was no need for such excessive caution.
