Cuihe had no choice but to do as instructed, taking the uneaten porridge and pickles back out again.
Cuihe wanted to report this to Madam Yun, but since she was in the room, she chose to inform Cuiping, who was serving Madam Yun, hoping that Cuiping would report it to her.
"Sister Cuiping, the second young lady didn't eat anything for dinner. I brought back all the white porridge and pickles untouched. The second young lady was frail to start with, I'm a little worried that she might fall ill if this continues." Cuihe said.
"I understand." Cuiping responded succinctly and didn't go in to report to Madam Yun.
With the eldest young lady's condition already burdening the matron, adding the predicament of the second lady not eating would be like adding fuel to the fire, wouldn't it?
Moreover, one is officially ill diagnosed by a doctor, and the other is deliberately refusing to eat. Clearly, one is more serious than the other.
Cuiping therefore decided not to relay the message.
