Gu Songhan replied, "It's hard to digest too many zongzi at night, so I'll buy you a few more during the day tomorrow!"

"Once we leave tomorrow, I wouldn't dare trouble Deputy Commander Gu any further. I'll have my maid go to the north city to buy it..."

Hearing this, Gu Songhan couldn't quite describe how he felt; it was as if someone had stuffed cotton wool into his chest, making him feel suffocated and uncomfortable.

But this feeling vanished the moment Jiang Segu handed over half a zongzi.

"You always only think about buying things for me, but you never think about buying one for yourself! When I go out tomorrow, I'll buy you lots of delicious food and send it to you!"

The little girl's hands were slender and soft, and her pink nails resembled flowers blooming in early spring.

Although it was a savory rice dumpling with fresh meat, Gu Songhan found it to have a strange sweetness, like that of honey...

With Changping's return, Jiangse Valley was released from the ancestral hall.

Grandma Jiang came to pick them up in person.

These days, the thought of Azi suffering in the ancestral hall breaks her heart.

The moment the gate to the ancestral hall opened, Grandma Jiang's eyes filled with tears.

But when she saw her daughter, whose face was much rounder than before and who looked as radiant as the midday sun, the tears in her eyes instantly evaporated!

Back in his own courtyard, Jiang Segu enjoyed a thorough bath under the personal care of Grandma Jiang.

During his stay at the ancestral hall, my grandfather refused to let anyone bring him anything. Later, it was Zhou's mother who secretly had someone bring him food and water for washing.

But with the delicious food Gu Songhan sent, she naturally couldn't eat the cold rice and dishes that Zhou's mother brought.

Of course, she also understood the difficulties that Zhou's mother had faced.

With Zhou's mother having to take care of her grandmother and worry about her, it's probably already a miracle that she can get some cold food and vegetables delivered!

Attended by Qiaohe and Qiaolian, Jiang Segu dressed neatly, dried her hair, and styled it into a bun before going to Zhaotai Courtyard to visit Old Madam Jiang...
