Huo Chengche gave him a cold glance, gave him a cold laugh without any politeness, then looked away, gently helped the little boy take off his dirty clothes, and called out softly, "Gu Ran".
The next moment, a young guard dressed in black entered the room, stood behind the screen, bowed respectfully, and held a tray in his hand. "Master, it has been prepared as you instructed."
Xuan Di raised an eyebrow, walked around the screen and went out. He saw that on the tray in Gu Ran's hand was a set of clothes that were exactly the same as the little baby's clothes that he had worn today, and on top of that was a little Taoist robe made of blue lake silk.
The brown geometric pattern on the fabric is embroidered in fine and dense detail, which darkens the originally smooth and bright silk fabric, making it look like an ordinary coarse cloth garment at first glance.
Xuan Di was about to make a sarcastic remark about Huo Chengche, who had been so eloquent when he dressed Nian Nian in tattered clothes. Ha, he couldn't stand seeing Nian Nian suffer in this state? How nice of him to say that! But when it came to himself, upon hearing that it was for catching human traffickers, didn't he also prepare a set of coarse clothes for his sister?
However, when Xuan Di picked it up and examined it carefully, and then touched it with some disbelief, the sarcastic remark that was on the tip of his tongue was immediately swallowed back. Although Huo Chengche didn't say a word, this garment was enough.
"Fifth Young Master, why aren't you bringing it in?" Huo Chengche said in a deep, cold voice.
"I'm not your servant!" Xuan Di retorted immediately. Although he spoke toughly, he didn't hesitate to grab the tray from Gu Ran's hands and turn around to go inside.
Of course, he wouldn't let a stranger in to watch his sister change clothes, and Huo Chengche wouldn't allow it either.
Huo Chengche had already changed the little baby's clothes and given her a warm bath, cleaning her dusty little face. He then used the remaining water to wash the little gray ball of white eggs as well.
Xuandi watched from the side. He wouldn't be so foolish as to take on the task of bathing this little darling, as he had never done such a thing before. So he simply crossed his arms and leaned against the pillar to supervise.
Looking at Huo Chengche's virtuous wife and loving mother appearance, he couldn't help but sigh, "Why isn't this guy a woman? It would be so much better if he were!"
So, after Huo Chengche helped his wife clean her hair and wrap it into a small bun, he turned around and saw Xuan Di clicking his tongue and shaking his head, looking very regretful.
"Fifth Young Master, bring me your clothes!" Huo Chengche rolled his eyes at him.
Xuan Di, who was being treated like a servant again, immediately turned sour. He took the clothes and handed them to him, deliberately complaining, "Your Highness is really particular. We Hengchang people are all rough and unrefined. We don't have anything so delicate and precious."
"Hmm, so Niannian is suitable to marry into my family." Huo Chengche smiled coldly and replied indifferently.
Xuandi meant that her younger sister was too wild and not suited to the pampered life of a young lady in the capital!
"What nonsense are you talking about..."
Hearing Xuan Di's rebuttal, Huo Chengche's cold smile deepened. He pulled the little girl into his arms, lifted her soft hair, and thrust the slightly red ring directly in front of Xuan Di's eyes.
"..." Xuan Di was immediately silenced.
Huo Chengche looked at him with amusement, snorted coldly, and continued to gently and skillfully help the little baby put on her outer clothes. Finally, he put the soft and light little Taoist robe on her.
Xuandi opened and closed his mouth repeatedly, wanting to refute but unable to find the words. Could he possibly have gotten him to acquiesce?
Finally, frustrated Xuandi could only awkwardly change the subject, "Aren't you going to ask me how I'm supposed to catch human traffickers?"
As he spoke, he tried his best to put on a mysterious expression, his intention to save face was quite obvious.
