Luo Ziqian has undergone a complete transformation during this period.

He no longer walks chickens or fights dogs, and he no longer goes to places of pleasure.

In his spare time each day, he would read books or prepare small things that he thought Gu Jingchun would like.

Of course, in addition to this, they also began to enjoy dressing up.

All of these changes in him were noticed by Luo Kejin and Liu Sihua, who were both pleased.

Luo Kejin also breathed a deep sigh of relief and began to pave the way for his son in the officialdom.

Liu Sihua attributed all of his changes to Gu Jingchun.

She felt that Gu Jingchun was their family's lucky star.

Luo Ziqian has already undergone such a big change even before she's officially married into the family.

If she marries into the family, Luo Ziqian's future will surely be bright.

So, after learning that Luo Ziqian was planning to enjoy the flowers with Gu Jingchun, she immediately prepared various kinds of food for him.

They even thoughtfully prepared snacks and some trinkets that children might like for Gu Jinxi.

They gave Luo Ziqian a lot of advice, fearing that he might not be liked by the little guy.

Therefore, after Luo Ziqian arrived outside the city, he waited by the roadside early.

As soon as Gu Jingchun got off the carriage, he immediately went up to wait for him.

Gu Jingchun simply smiled at him and immediately turned to look at the carriage, knowing that Gu Jinxi was inside.

So he immediately straightened his back and put on what he thought was a very amiable smile.

More importantly, he even commissioned someone to sew a lamb-shaped doll, which he is currently holding in his hand, looking at Gu Jinxi with anticipation.

Soon, the carriage curtain was lifted from the inside.

A delicate, exquisitely crafted little dumpling emerged from within.

He quickly stepped forward, wanting to help.

Gu Jingchun was the same.

When Gu Jinxi, who was in the carriage, saw her mother about to hug her, she quickly took a step back and stopped her.

"I don't want to be carried. I'm a big baby now. I want to get down by myself."

As he spoke, he took his short legs and was about to step onto the pedals.

Gu Jingchun knew his son's temper and understood that he just wanted to show off, so he took a step back and prepared to let him get down on his own.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, Gu Jinxi was suddenly grabbed and quickly pulled into a hug.

Upon learning that Gu Jingchun was preparing to meet with Luo Ziqian, Shen Hechuan immediately rushed over.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they dismounted, they saw Gu Jinxi, a little child, shakily getting off the carriage by herself.

Seeing the height of the carriage, he was worried for the man and quickly ran over to help him down.

His gaze then shifted between Gu Jingchun and Luo Ziqian, finally settling on Luo Ziqian's face.

What are you doing?

"You actually let such a young child get off the carriage by himself? Is this how you plan to be a father?"

Luo Ziqian, who was scolded for no reason, frowned, feeling confused, wronged, and bitter but unable to express his feelings.

Gu Jinxi, who was being held in Shen Hechuan's arms, was initially a little unhappy.

He pouted, struggling somewhat unhappily.

"Who carried me? I want to get down by myself. I'm a big kid now."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the person holding him pause, and then put her back down.

Gu Jinxi, who was standing on the carriage again: ...

He looked up helplessly, only to be met with a somewhat familiar face.

"Uncle, it's you?"

Gu Jinxi exclaimed in surprise, her round little eyes seemingly sparkling.

Gu Jingchun sighed helplessly when he saw Shen Hechuan arrive uninvited.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Gu Jingchun and Luo Ziqian bowed to Shen Hechuan.

Shen Hechuan's gaze swept over Gu Jingchun, and he gave a faint "hmm".

"What a coincidence, you're here admiring the flowers too."

Gu Jingchun: What a coincidence, it really is a great coincidence.

I wish it were such a coincidence.

Based on her understanding of Shen Hechuan, she knew that he must have rushed over after learning that they were there.

Luo Ziqian also looked somewhat embarrassed.

He is a smart man.

Judging from Shen Hechuan's reaction just now, it's clear that Shen Hechuan knows Gu Jinxi.

Immediately, her gaze towards Shen Hechuan took on a scrutinizing quality.

At this moment, Gu Jinxi had already "laboriously" climbed down from the carriage.

After he got down, he pounced on Shen Hechuan.

"Uncle, are you here to admire the flowers today too?"

Shen Hechuan squatted down, meeting Gu Jinxi's gaze, and then nodded.

"Yes, what a coincidence to run into you."

Seeing this, Gu Jinxi pulled Gu Jingchun up and introduced him to Shen Hechuan.

"Uncle, look, this is my mother. I have to thank you for your help that day. My mother said that if it weren't for you, my life would have been in danger."

Shen Hechuan nodded, deliberately teasing him.

"So, how are you going to thank me?"

Gu Jinxi thought about it seriously for a moment after hearing this, and then handed the small bottle she had prepared earlier to Shen Hechuan.

"Here, take this."

"What?"

Shen Hechuan was puzzled.

"This is poison."

Gu Jinxi explained in a serious tone.

"My mother said that since you are the Crown Prince, your situation in the palace is very dangerous, so you will definitely need this."

"If someone bullies you, just sprinkle this on them and they'll be dead."

"This was originally a gift I prepared for my future father-in-law today, but I didn't expect to run into you, Uncle. I'll give it to you first, and I'll prepare another one for my future father-in-law later."

After he finished speaking, he turned to Luo Ziqian and explained everything.

Looking at the well-behaved and sensible child, Luo Ziqian naturally agreed.

Gu Jinxi's words made Shen Hechuan feel very comfortable.

Gu Jingchun, however, was completely astonished.

Where did this little guy get this thing from?

She quickly stepped forward to retrieve the items.

But Shen Hechuan quickly put it into his arms.

"Since it has been given to me, it belongs to me. Does Miss Gu intend to take it back?"

Gu Jingchun then explained, "Your Highness, the child is ignorant. This thing is of unknown origin and too dangerous. Please don't take it. I will personally deliver the gift of thanks later."

Gu Jinxi was not happy with these words.

“Mother, you told me that people should repay kindness. Uncle saved me, so of course I should repay him.”

Besides, didn't you say that poison is the safest thing in the world... *sob*

Gu Jinxi was only halfway through her sentence when Gu Jingchun covered her mouth.

She smiled awkwardly and explained to Shen Hechuan, managing to smooth things over.

Feeling somewhat weary, Gu Jingchun spoke a few more words to Shen Hechuan before preparing to leave with Luo Ziqian.

From the conversation between the three, Luo Ziqian roughly guessed what had happened. He glanced at Shen Hechuan with gratitude before leaving happily.
