Su Li's act of feeding the fish in the lotus pond caught the attention of the masters of the Su Residence.
At dinner time, the Old Madam, who always ate vegetarian meals in the Buddhist hall, even made a point to come out and ask her grandson about his peculiar behavior of the day.
Su Li thoughtfully laid out the dishes for the Old Madam and picked out her favorite vegetarian chicken for Madam, before putting down his chopsticks and calmly said, "I merely noticed that the little fish in the lotus pond were too undernourished, so I wanted to help them bulk up a bit."
Old Madam: "....."
Madam: "....."
The surrounding servants and Maids: "....."
What had they just heard?
Everyone looked as if they had been struck by lightning.
They all remembered the fish in the lotus pond; they were the young master's dearest pets, taken care of very meticulously.
And that red carp—it was extremely, extremely beautiful.
