Lady Zhang hadn't expected Qi Yourong to bring the matter up with her, and she inwardly blamed her father-in-law. Why should she be dragged into her brother-in-law's family affairs?
Yet, she couldn't just not answer. She hemmed and hawed for a long time before hesitantly saying, "From what your daughter-in-law has seen, he mostly just has some leftover soup from the kitchen, and those soups don't need spoons or chopsticks. Sometimes... he eats other things too, all with his hands."
Lady Zhang glanced at Madam Pang, implying that when there was no leftover food, there were also times when he had to drink the water used for cleaning pots and pans. However, since she hadn't stopped such a despicable act, she felt it was inappropriate to say it outright.
