Liu Yanyan seriously doubted whether the grilled fish could be eaten after it was cooked. In the end, it wasn't edible. She refuted her father, saying that after all, her father was busy on weekdays and it was rare for him to accompany her out to play.

Duke Liu had a happy face, watching Liu Wu use a dagger to deal with the carp. After Liu Wu skewered the fish on the branches, he came forward and took two of them. "Nannan, just wait and see. Daddy will grill them for you. They must be delicious."

Liu Yanyan was startled and hurriedly took the two fishes. "Daddy, your hand isn't healed yet! How could you hold such a heavy thing?"

Duke Liu looked at his wound and said, "It's okay, it's almost healed."

Yuzhu and Yuzhen stepped forward at this time, took the processed fish from the young lady's hand, squatted beside the fire, and carefully turned the fish in their hands.

Liu Yanyan used a handkerchief to wipe Daddy's hands clean, then wiped her own hands, and said helplessly, "Dad, just wait and eat, you don't have to bake it yourself. Nannan knows that Daddy loves me, you have to take care of your health too!"

Duke Liu looked at the two little maids and the fish in their hands and sighed. He still wanted to grill it himself for fun, but he thought he would do it next time. “Okay, Daddy won’t grill it. Daddy will wait with you until it’s grilled and ready to eat.” After saying that, he rubbed his fingers.

Liu Yanyan looked at her childish father and said helplessly, "Dad, your wound will take another month to heal, and you can't lift heavy objects in the near future."

Duke Liu remembered the doctor's serious face and nodded, "Yes, Dad will pay attention to it."

Soon, the aroma of grilled fish wafted over. Liu Yanyan looked at the golden grilled fish in Yuzhu's hand and said, "Yuzhu, is the fish ready?"

Yuzhu shook her head and said, "Miss, we need to bake it for a while longer. You can still see blood streaks now."

Liu Yanyan nodded and said to her father, "Daddy, you can eat after a while."

Duke Liu nodded, but he was obviously not as happy as he was at the beginning.

Liu Yanyan smiled and thought, Daddy is really too childish and doesn't consider his health at all. If mom were here, she would definitely take care of Daddy.

After the jade fish was roasted, the fish meat was peeled off one by one with wooden chopsticks and placed on the washed leaves before being handed to the young lady and the master.

Yuzhen handed over two pairs of wooden chopsticks made of tree branches. "Master, Miss, please use these chopsticks. I didn't bring any chopsticks from the mansion today."

Liu Yanyan took the chopsticks and leaves and nodded, "Very good."

Duke Liu nodded and said, "It's all the same. It's no problem." He motioned to the servant next to him to take the grilled fish.

Liu Yanyan took a bite of the grilled fish and frowned. The fishy smell rushed to her forehead. She wanted to spit it out, but when she saw her father eating with relish, she finally endured it. After taking a bite, she handed the grilled fish to Yuzhu who was beside her.

Duke Liu was enjoying his meal, and when he saw Nannan not eating, he asked casually, "Nannan, why don't you eat? Is it not tasty?"

Liu Yanyan then said, "I ate too much just now and can't eat anymore."

Duke Liu smiled and said that it was indeed past mealtime, but he did not notice it and ate happily. Later, he ate a piece of fish that Yuzhen had grilled. He wiped his mouth with satisfaction, looked up and saw the crescent moon, then realized that it was getting late, and said, "Nannan, let's go back to the farm. It's getting late now."

Liu Yanyan nodded, looked up, and saw the fireflies in the distance saying, "Well, Daddy, let's go back."

Duke Liu noticed her look and said, "How about I have someone catch some fireflies and put them in your mosquito net?"

Liu Yanyan raised her lips in a faint smile, "Daddy, no need, I'm not a child."

Duke Liu smiled and said, "You will always be a child to me." Then he waved to Xiaowu who was standing next to him.

Liu Wu nodded, and with a few jumps, he slid to the edge of the woods, took off his coat, and with a few more jumps, he caught the fireflies in his clothes.

Duke Liu saw Liu Wu catch the firefly and then said, "Go back."

Liu Yanyan nodded and followed her father into the carriage.

Liu Yanyan returned to her room, took off her coat, and undid her hair. She felt a lot more relaxed and wet her handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her forehead.

At this time, Yuzhu came in with gauze and some leaves caught in it.

Liu Yanyan frowned instinctively, "Yuzhu, what are you doing with this? It's so ugly."

Yuzhu smiled and said, "Miss, this is a firefly! Didn't you like it very much before you came back?"

Liu Yanyan frowned. "Don't lie to me. How could this be a firefly? It must be fake."

Yuzhu hurriedly explained, "Miss, how dare I lie to you! How about I blow out the candle and show you."

Liu Yanyan nodded and watched Yuzhu blow out the candle in front of her. The next moment, she saw the gauze in Yuzhu's hand, which indeed revealed tiny dots of light. She said, "Okay, I get it. You take the fireflies out and release them." Having seen the fireflies up close, she was unwilling to be in the same room with them.

Yuzhu nodded, handed the firefly to Yuzhen, and asked her to take it out.

After Yuzhen left, Liu Yanyan sat in front of the dressing table, combing her hair with a wooden comb, muttering to herself, "It's better to stay away."

Yuzhu took the comb and combed the young lady's hair carefully. She smiled and said, "Miss, whatever you say is right."

Liu Yanyan smiled and said, "You are just sweet-talking."

At this time, Yuzhen and Yuye brought hot water and put it in the bathtub next to them. Yuzhu stood up and tested the water temperature, then came back and said, "Miss, they said the temperature is adjusted. You can take a bath now."

Liu Yanyan nodded, raised her slender jade hand, walked to the carved screen partition, asked Yuzhu and Yuzhen to take off their clothes, and stepped into the bathtub.

Yuzhen took out a bucket of milk and poured it in. Yuzhu took the dried rose petals and sprinkled them into the water little by little.

Liu Yanyan raised her delicate jade hands, floated up the water, and sprinkled it on them. "Hahahaha, Yuzhu, Yuzhen, look at you, hahaha."

Yuzhu smiled and wiped the water stains off her face, saying, "Miss, take a shower first, otherwise you will get cold later."

Yuzhen stepped forward with a handkerchief and wiped it bit by bit. "Miss, is this strength okay?"

Liu Yanyan curled her lips, secretly sighing that they were timid and boring, but she didn't torment them anymore. "The strength is pretty good." After saying that, she sank her hands into the water and paddled with intermittent waves.

Yuzhu and Yuzhen looked at each other and sped up.

After Liu Yanyan was clean, Yuzhu helped the young lady out of the bathtub and wiped her carefully with silk until there was no drop of water left. Then she helped the young lady put on clothes and soft pink embroidered shoes.

Liu Yanyan walked over and sat down. Yuzhu used a handkerchief to dry her hair bit by bit, and Yuzhen brought a small stove and placed it next to her.

Liu Yanyan saw the stove and shook her head. "Take away the stove. My hair is almost dry and I can't sleep yet."

Yuzhen then nodded and walked out with the small stove.

Yuzhu was worried. She picked up a dry handkerchief and wiped it several times before she took her hand back. "Miss, dry your hair."

Liu Yanyan nodded and said "Okay." She waved her hand, signaling Yuzhu to leave. She was reading a miscellaneous book in her hand. She was very confused about the prices in the book. An egg cost one cent and a bunch of cabbage cost two cents. Is this true?

Liu Yanyan was so fascinated by the show that she didn't fall into a deep sleep until midnight.
