Chapter 217: Unexpected Discovery
Seeing his son ignoring him, Chen Fushan jumped up and down anxiously: "You bastard, I'm talking to you, stop right there!"
In the past, Shen Changfeng would stand there and listen to his father finish his scolding, but this time he didn't want to stay any longer.
However, Shen Changfeng's attendant whispered, "Master, if you just run away like this, will the Prince Consort punish you?"
Shen Changfeng shook his head and said, "Don't worry, he won't dare."
No matter how harshly Chen Fushan scolded, he didn't dare to hit the child, because the princess would not agree to let him hit the child.
The next day, before dawn, the light in Gu Zhao's room was turned on.
Zhang Yuniang placed a bunch of small jars that she had bought overnight in front of Gu Zhao.
"I'll pack your clothes and valuables for you, and you pack your pets. We'll set off for Baiyun Town soon." Zhang Yuniang said with a cold face.
Gu Zhao rubbed his eyes. He still wanted to stay in bed. He was so tired at Doctor Yan's place yesterday that he had almost no time to rest. He copied a lot of books in the morning, but only one page was approved by Doctor Yan, so he had to re-copy the rest.
It was not easy to identify the medicinal herbs in the afternoon. If I identified the wrong one, Dr. Yan would hit me with the ruler.
If he calculated carefully, the only time he felt relaxed in the pharmacy was the half hour he spent feeding the insects after lunch!
But no matter how unwilling he was, he had no choice but to be forced by Zhang Yuniang to put all the insects in the house into cans.
"Are you sure there are no bugs?" Zhang Yuniang asked with a frown.
Ever since she found out that her son had the bad habit of sleeping with bugs, Zhang Yunniang felt uncomfortable all over whenever she stood in this room, as if something was crawling on her body.
Gu Zhao nodded honestly.
Zhang Yuniang then gathered up all of Gu Zhao's clothes and valuables and put them into a large package.
"You are learning skills at your master's house, which is different from being at home. You should listen to your master in everything and be more diligent. Only in this way can you be liked by others..." Zhang Yunniang muttered.
But Gu Zhao was only seven years old, and these words almost went in one ear and out the other.
All he could think about at this moment was, "Mom, is the crazy girl up yet? Is she in the kitchen?"
He was still thinking about what Niu Niu said last night: she would ask the crazy girl to make him a hearty breakfast as a reminder.
Zhang Yunniang saw that he was still a child and knew that all her words were in vain. She sighed and finally softened her heart and said, "She got up. She took your sister's words for granted. How could she not get up?"
Gu Zhao cheered and rushed into the kitchen in the front yard. He saw a light on there from afar.
When the steamer was opened, the whole room was filled with white steam.
Gu Zhao could already smell the mouth-watering aroma of food.
Liu Xiaoru sat aside and watched over the crazy girl, afraid that she would suddenly explode.
But the crazy girl saw Gu Zhao's attitude was very friendly, and said: "Dumplings when you come in, noodles when you go out. My cousin is going out, so the staple food is noodles. I will make noodles now, you can eat something else first."
Liu Xiaoru was very used to the messy names that Shuying called her.
Gu Zhao was surprised and asked, "Why do you call me cousin?"
"My cousin is my cousin." Shuying said.
Liu Xiaoru suddenly got a start and quickly pulled Gu Zhao to her side, saying, "Zhao, go wait next door. I'll call you when it's ready."
Gu Zhao was puzzled.
Liu Xiaoru said, "Be good and listen to me."
Seeing Gu Zhao went to the next room, Liu Xiaoru finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had tricked him away, otherwise she would have heard something about Empress or Princess. Children are not careful with their mouths, and if they let something slip outside, it would be bad.
She couldn't help but think in her heart that although the crazy girl only had Niuniu in her heart, she was too crazy and still very unstable...
"I won't betray the princess." Shuying said suddenly.
Liu Xiaoru was stunned when she heard this, but looking at the crazy girl's angry expression, she couldn't help feeling guilty.
"My cousin is the nephew of the Empress. He will not harm the Empress. Even if he knows the Empress' identity, it's no big deal." Shuying said again.
The guilt in Liu Xiaoru's heart suddenly disappeared. Considering the messy names and the trust in the seven-year-old child, Liu Xiaoru thought that Shuying should continue to stay in the backyard.
Gu Zhao waited for a while next door, and Liu Xiaoru came over with a bunch of steamed snacks: "Eat slowly, it's hot."
All Gu Zhao could think about was food, and he no longer remembered what had just happened.
Shuying prepared a large table full of food.
Not long after Gu Zhao started eating, other members of the Gu family also sat down beside him one after another. From the elderly Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu to the youngest Niuniu, all of them rubbed their eyes and ate with him.
"Delicious, this one is delicious, this one is delicious too, each one is delicious!" Gu Zhao never stopped using his chopsticks.
No one in the family would compete with him for food, and he would always be the first to eat anything.
Gu Zhao was so happy that tears were about to fall: "Why do I have to leave home? It would be so nice if I could stay at home and eat the food cooked by the crazy girl every day... wuwuwu."
Gradually, his fake crying turned into real crying.
Niuniu hurriedly comforted him, "Third brother, Sister Shuying can make other things. When the eldest brother announces the results, I will bring a big bag for you to eat, okay?"
Gu Zhao's eyes suddenly lit up: "My dear, you are really my good sister. I know you are the best to me!"
No matter how reluctant Gu Zhao was, the meal had to be finished. Holding the small jar in his arms, he got into the carriage, looking back every few steps, under the gaze of his family.
Although Zhang Yunniang was reluctant, at this moment, she was more grateful that she had finally sent the insect king away.
"Go buy some realgar powder in the morning and spray it all over A Zhao's room... Forget it, just buy more and sprinkle it everywhere in the house." Zhang Yunniang instructed Qi Niangzi, the housekeeper.
Niuniu looked up and said, "Mom, it's okay. Third brother said that the bugs in the house listen to him and won't bully the family."
Zhang Yunniang thought that such words were just to appease Niuniu, she would not believe them. When she thought of the poisonous insects and scorpions her son raised, she wished she could sprinkle more realgar powder on them.
After Gu Zhao left, the house seemed to suddenly become quiet. No one was shouting or running around the house anymore.
Gu Mingda originally assigned homework to Niu Niu.
But Niuniu ran to discuss with him: "Dad, can I do today's homework and tomorrow's homework together? I feel a little tired."
Gu Mingda looked at his daughter's obedient and soft appearance and asked gently, "Is it because you worked too hard yesterday and got up too early today?"
Niu Niu nodded.
Niu Niu could have chosen not to get up and see Gu Zhao off, but because of the good relationship between the brother and sister, she insisted on seeing him off.
Gu Mingda touched her little head and finally agreed.
Except for eating, Niu Niu stayed in her room the whole day and slept soundly on her bed.
Zhang Yunniang was a little worried and ran over to check on her daughter several times. Seeing that her daughter's complexion was normal and the fish-shaped birthmark had not changed, she was relieved when she was sure that the child was just sleeping.
Niu Niu made a wish for the middle-aged man yesterday. She slept all day today and didn’t feel any discomfort, not even a headache or headache.
The little girl was confusedly thinking: If she makes a wish now, will she not get sick?
