The two embraced quietly for a long time before Gu Songhan said, "I'm off today, how about I take you out for a walk to clear your head!"

If it were the Jiang Segu of the past, she would have been overjoyed to hear that she could go out, but now she is not interested in such things.

Seeing her like this, Gu Songhan forcibly pulled her out the door.

I strolled from the bustling Yongle Street all the way to Yongxiang Street in the northern part of the city.

By then, it was already noon.

What would you like to eat?

After walking with Gu Songhan for an hour and a half, Jiang Segu's forehead was covered in sweat, and he was looking for a place to rest.

"I'm not familiar with Beicheng, so you should decide!"

"There's a newly opened shop in the north of the city that specializes in Jiangnan cuisine. I'll take you there to try it!"

"good!"

Gradually, Jiang Segu felt that the road beneath her feet was somewhat familiar. She initially thought it was because the street layouts were all similar, but when she arrived at the Jiangnan-style shop that Gu Songhan had mentioned, the sense of familiarity in her heart became even stronger.

"Was this originally a food stall?"

Gu Songhan's eyes darkened slightly as he looked at the shop. He wouldn't have brought the little girl here if he hadn't heard that the food at this shop was unique.

"This used to be a jewelry shop!"

North City, a jewelry shop...

Sancaixuan?

Could it be that someone is causing trouble again?

That shouldn't be happening!

That lady was shrewd and had manpower; even if someone came to cause trouble, she wouldn't easily close the shop.

Jiang Segu asked instinctively, "What about the jewelry shop from before?"

"I heard they moved to Yongle Street!"

Yongle Street?

How come she didn't see it just now?

Gu Songhan further explained, "I heard they changed the shop's name."

Not wanting Jiang Segu to worry about other people's affairs, he pulled Jiang Segu into the shop.

Jiang Segu froze. They were outside, and there were so many guests passing by. This was really against the rules. She should shake them off!

But the warm touch from his palm made Jiang Segu reluctant to let go.

The food in Jiangnan is exquisite and delicious, which whetted Jiang Segu's appetite, and she ate the most meals she had in a long time.

Seeing that she was eating heartily, Qiaohe, who had come along, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Third Master and Third Madam left, the young lady would only take a small bite each time she ate before putting down her chopsticks. She spent most of her time sitting on the couch in a daze, which caused her to lose weight over a long period of time, making them very anxious.

However, no matter how much they teased and persuaded her, the girl didn't eat much. Unexpectedly, she ate so much today when she came out with her son-in-law!

She knew her son-in-law had a way!

If only the son-in-law could accompany the young lady out for meals every day in the future!

In just a few days, the girl will gain the weight back!

But... the son-in-law is a busy man, how can he spend every day with the young lady like this!

Just then, Gu Songhan gave his instructions.

"Qiaohe, go and call the waiter!"

"good!"

After the waiter arrived, Gu Songhan recited a list of dishes, all of which Jiang Segu had eaten a lot of earlier, and asked the waiter to write them down and send them to the Marquis of Changping's residence at dinner time.

Jiang Segu knew that everyone was worried about her lately, so she naturally wouldn't refuse Gu Songhan's good intentions.

After the two left the shop, Gu Songhan was about to help Jiang Segu into the carriage, since the midday sun was quite hot.

Jiang Segu refused, saying, "I ate a little too much earlier, come walk with me again!"

Gu Songhan frowned slightly as he looked at Jiang Segu.

Jiang Segu thought he had something else to do, so he said, "If you have something to do, then go ahead. It's the same if I walk with Qiaohe!"

"I have nothing to do today, so I'll stay with you all day. I'm just really worried about the sun getting so strong and I don't want you to get sunburned!"

Jiang Segu's lips curved upwards even more pronounced. "Then let's get in the carriage!"

Gu Songhan then realized that his little girl was reluctant to part with him.

After getting into the carriage, Gu Songhan said, "In ten days, it will be your coming-of-age ceremony. Is there anything you want?"

Qiaohe, who was sitting on the carriage shaft outside, pursed her lips. Her son-in-law really didn't seem very bright!

How exactly does someone like that lead troops into battle?

Is that how you ask someone when giving them a gift?

Jiang Segu was taken aback by the question, and then shook his head.

With her father and mother gone, what heart could she possibly have for her coming-of-age ceremony?

Besides, hadn't Gu Songhan already given her something beforehand?

That lily of the valley hairpin...

"I recently captured a fine horse, and I heard you ride it quite well, so I'm giving it to you as a coming-of-age gift!"

Horse?

She really hadn't ridden in a long time!

Jiang Segu couldn't help but show a hint of excitement.

"I'll take you to see it. If you don't like it, I can pick out another gift."

Thus, the two arrived at the military camp outside the city.

Just as Gu Songhan led his horse out, a soldier came to report.

"General Gu, Prince Jing'an will arrive in the capital in about twenty li!"

Jiang Segu's heart stirred slightly as he thought of Song Yuhui.

After Gu Songhan dismissed the soldiers, he said to Jiang Segu, "Miss Song has been diagnosed with pregnancy. I don't think Prince Jing'an will make things difficult for her because of the Phoenix Painting!"

She's pregnant?

"When did this happen?"

"I just received the news a couple of days ago."

What a coincidence!

Heaven really favors her!

Seeing the hint of ferocity in Jiang Segu's eyes, Gu Songhan said, "Come on, let me see your riding skills!"

With Gu Songhan's protection, Jiang Segu rode for more than half an hour, and the frustration that had been building up in his heart dissipated considerably.
