Chapter 582: The exiled female prisoner with two bodies (17)

When Gong Liang Sibai saw his son being looked at with strange eyes, he felt so sad that his eyes almost turned red. He knew that he was a failure both as a husband and as a father.

"Son, go back. What are you still doing here?" Lan Shichu spoke when he saw the father and son staring at each other as if frozen.

"Oh." Gong Liang Congyun heard it, and struggled a few times in Gong Liang Sibai's arms, jumped down, walked to Lan Shichu, held her hand, and said, "Mom, is this our future home? It's so big..."

"Yes." Lan Shichu responded, holding his little hand and following Gong Liangqin and his wife into the room, with no intention of paying any attention to Gong Liangsubai.

Gong Liangxian looked at his brother sympathetically, stepped forward and patted his shoulder, saying: "Congyun is still young. No matter what, you are his father. The blood relationship can't be severed. You should get closer to him in the future, and he will definitely like you."

Gong Liang nodded, but his heart was not only sad, but also a little empty. Although his family members had returned, his excitement and joy seemed to be discounted.

Because Gongliang Sibai played a crucial role in the new emperor's ascension to the throne, the new emperor valued him very much. The Gongliang Mansion bestowed upon him was very luxurious and magnificent, with carved beams and painted rafters, and was gorgeous and exquisite, not much different from the residences of princes and princesses.

Gong Liang had lived in a desolate and remote mountain village since he was born. He had never seen such a beautiful place before. He immediately looked at it like a little country bumpkin with his eyes wide open: "Mom, this place is so beautiful, can we really live here?"

Lan Shichu pulled his little ear and said, "Although you really haven't seen much of the world, don't show it so obviously. Of course we can live here, unless Gong Liang's family is raided again."

Gong Liangsubai, who was standing behind him, heard what Lan Shichu said and suddenly had an expression on his face. In the end, he could only utter one sentence: "We won't be copied again."

Then he stopped paying attention to Lan Shichu and instead bent down and asked Gong Liang Congyun: "Yun'er, do you like our new home? Do you want Daddy to take you to visit it?"

When Gong Liang Congyun heard this, his first reaction was to look at Lan Shichu. Although the little guy was very brave, in such an unfamiliar place, he naturally relied on the people he trusted the most, so he asked Lan Shichu's opinion.

Lan Shichu saw his excitement and said, "If you want to go and see him, go with him. He won't abandon you."

"You can't lose me. I can find you by myself. Have you forgotten? When you were hunting in the mountains, I was the first one to find you, faster than your brothers and sisters!" Gong Liang Congyun said proudly with his chest puffed out.

"Alright, alright, I know you're awesome now." Lan Shichu patted his round head, then turned and left, saying to the servant beside him, "Where is my room? Take me there!"

The servant took her away. When Gong Liang Sibai saw that the servant had left, he took Gong Liang Congyun's hand and said to his son in a low voice, "Will you also go hunting with your mother in the mountains? Why would you go when it's so dangerous?"

Gong Liang Congyun looked at him with strange eyes and said, "What's the danger in hunting? My brother, sister and I have never encountered any danger when we go up the mountain."

In fact, it was not that they did not encounter danger, but that the danger had long been eliminated by Lan Shichu when they could not see it. Lan Shichu was not a fool. If he had not been sure that the danger in the hunting area was no longer there, how could he have taken them up the mountain?

But Gong Liang Congyun didn't know these little fools, so he thought there was really no danger.

Gong Liang was choked by his son's words. He mentioned hunting just to get closer to his son. He wisely changed the subject and asked, "You went hunting in the mountains with your brothers and sisters. Have you ever caught any prey?"

"Of course I have. I have shot sparrows and pheasants with a slingshot!" Gong Liang Congyun was indeed interested in this topic. He immediately talked incessantly about his "great deeds" of shooting prey. Hearing the proud look on his little chest, Gong Liang Subai's heart couldn't help but soften.

Lan Shichu followed the servants to find his room and nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that although Gong Liang Sibai didn't like the original owner, he didn't do anything too harsh. He prepared everything that needed to be prepared for her, and even prepared several servants to serve her.

"Madam, my name is Zhichun, and I'm your eldest maid. The other three are named Zhixia, Zhiqiu and Zhidong. You can tell us if you have any instructions." Zhichun said respectfully to Lan Shichu, and the other three maids also came forward to greet her.

Lan Shichu looked at them for a few times and found that they were well behaved, respectful and did not look sideways. It was obvious that they were well trained. So he nodded and said as a matter of course: "Now help me prepare bathing things. I want to take a bath, and then prepare food for me."

Several maids went down to work after receiving the order. Lan Shichu walked to the dressing table and took a look. There were jewelries all there, and they were arranged very neatly. They looked dazzling and golden. Obviously, they were not cheap items. They were all newly made. Gong Liang Sibai probably ordered his subordinates to buy them for the women in the family. After all, all the things in Gong Liang's family's past had been confiscated. If the ladies of the family came back without even a piece of jewellery, it would be too sad.

Lan Shichu lost interest after trying on a few pieces. These things were in no way comparable to those collected in her companion space, so she didn't think highly of them.

After bathing, Gong Liang Congyun came running back, with a servant chasing him, shouting, "Young Master, please walk slowly, be careful not to fall!"

"Mom, why didn't you call me when you were eating? I'm hungry too!" said the little guy, and then he climbed onto the chair next to Lan Shichu very consciously.

Several maids who were very discerning had already brought out the bowls and chopsticks that the little guy would use, and were also serving him food.

Lan Shichu asked them to leave and said, "No need to help him serve the food, let him pick it up himself." Then he said to Gong Liangcongyun, "You should be more elegant when eating here. You can't wolf down your food like before. That's too rude."

Actually, Gong Liangcongyun did not eat in an uncivilized manner. After all, even in exile, his grandfather and uncle taught him table manners. But he didn't know if it was because he was born in a place with material scarcity, he cared a lot about food and ate very quickly and fiercely. Gong Liangqin and Gong Liangxian asked him to change, but he couldn't.

"Mom, why are there only two of us eating? Where are our grandparents, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters?" Gong Liang turned his little head around and realized that the other family members were not there, so he asked puzzledly.
