Chapter 263 A Blessing in Disaster
As he spoke, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and a smile flashed in his eyes: "Do you like children?"
"She's so young, yet she's so good at taking care of children."
"With these little ones as practice, it shouldn't be difficult for you to take care of your own children in the future."
His words became increasingly off topic, and even began to lean in a direction that Gu Yuexuan could not control.
Gu Yuexuan's ears instantly turned red. She quickly pulled her hand away, breaking free from Tu Subo's grasp and quickly walked forward. However, her voice was still trembling, and she seemed to be making a far-fetched argument: "What nonsense."
"Where did this child come from that I have to raise him?"
Tu Subo followed closely behind with heavy steps, his tone lazily: "Aren't you going to give me a chance to experience what it's like to be a father?"
Gu Yuexuan's cheeks flushed, and she said angrily: "What does it have to do with me whether you are a father or not?!"
"If I don't drag you into this, where else can I find a cheap father?"
"Other families may have children who can call me father, but I can't just break into someone's house and take them away, right?"
Gu Yuexuan was completely speechless.
Tu Subo confidently curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a smug smile: "But there's no need to rush."
"There's still plenty of time for you to mature a little more."
"One day, I will hear a child affectionately call me 'Daddy'."
According to the current marriage age standards, Gu Yuexuan is indeed not young.
She is already seventeen years old. If she were in a family where people get married and have children early, she would be able to hold a child's hand or carry a child on her back at this age.
However, Tu Subo thought she was still a child.
Gu Yuexuan once accidentally heard Xi Lanfang and others mention this past event in their casual conversation.
Tu Subo had a dear aunt who married at the age of fifteen, which should have been the best time of youth. Soon after her marriage, she became pregnant, which should have been a cause for celebration for the whole family.
However, on the day of delivery, the little aunt failed to overcome the obstacle of life.
Others may just feel regretful, lamenting the passing of a prime life, and then forget about it after expressing their regret.
But the young Tu Subo remembered all of this deeply.
He had a close relationship with his aunt who died young, and every word the imperial physician said was deeply engraved in his heart.
The imperial physician once explained that the tragedy occurred because my aunt was too young and the baby in her belly was too big to give birth smoothly.
If a woman gives birth too early, it will cause great harm to her body. At the very least, she will suffer from illness, and at worst, she may die.
Others might just treat it as a passing cloud, but Tu Subo kept it in mind and put it into practice.
He was eager to wait until Gu Yuexuan matured a little more and grew stronger.
Xi Lanfang still had a wry smile on her face as she teased Gu Yuexuan, "Bo'er has been dragging his feet and unwilling to get married. At first, I mistakenly thought he hadn't met the right person."
"Until I made a fool of myself and misunderstood others, he was whipped as punishment and made to kneel in the ancestral hall. After some questioning, I finally understood that he simply thought you were still young and hoped you would stay home for two more years."
"But you're in your prime, how could you waste your youth until you're seventeen or eighteen? That's why he couldn't wait to urge me to come and propose to you."
The Tu Su family sincerely apologized, explained the whole story in detail, stated their intentions without reservation, and made it clear that it was Gu Yuexuan they wanted to marry.
However, the Gu family was dissatisfied with Tu Subo's change of partner. With other plans in mind, they deliberately concealed the true intentions of the Tu Su family, causing Gu Yuexuan, who was trapped in the inner courtyard, to suffer. Until the moment she was carried into the Tu Su family, Gu Yuexuan, who was pushed into the bridal sedan, mistakenly believed that she was just here to marry in place of someone else.
The situation was so chaotic at the time that we didn't care whether there would be any misunderstandings.
Later, because of this incident, Gu Yuexuan developed an almost irreconcilable rift in her heart.
Fortunately, Tu Subo was able to humble himself and explain eloquently that he did not care about his face, so no further disturbance was caused.
Beneath this man's casual and uninhibited appearance lies a sincere and frank sincerity, as well as a unique tenderness towards Gu Yuexuan.
This tenderness belongs only to Gu Yuexuan.
Gu Yuexuan was still able to force a smile and maintain her composure, but when she turned around and saw the stars twinkling in Tu Subo's eyes, she finally couldn't help but laugh softly.
Seeing her smile, a gentle ripple appeared in Tu Subo's eyes.
Finally laughed.
After Tu Subo's jokes and amusements, Gu Yuexuan's eyes fell on the seedlings in the field, and she temporarily forgot what she originally wanted to ask.
Tu Subo left for two hours, and only returned to take her home when the evening light gradually faded.
He took the basket from Gu Yuexuan and whispered to himself, a voice that only Gu Yuexuan could hear: "I have already asked someone to check the residue, and it is confirmed to be harmless."
"What Imperial Doctor Wen said is absolutely correct. The reason why Grandfather's illness has persisted is because we initially went astray when seeking medical advice and medication, and failed to prescribe the right medicine. This is what led to the delay."
The tense string in Gu Yuexuan's heart seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer. There was a buzzing sound, as if a heavy burden was lifted in an instant.
She breathed a sigh of relief, looked up and asked, "Where is the doctor now?"
Late at night, when everyone was asleep, he came to tell the old lady some ambiguous words. Although she did not hear many details at the time, she always had a strange feeling in her heart.
Tu Subo's expression remained calm as he replied calmly, "My second uncle invited me here."
Before Gu Yuexuan could even begin to suspect anything, he had already explained, "My second uncle is under constant surveillance by Tu Su Minfei in the county's gambling den. He's having a very difficult time, and he doesn't dare go home and offend Grandfather. He can only secretly seek help from the old lady, hoping she can offer him some advice."
In this way, it fits Tu Suye's personality traits.
Gu Yuexuan hesitated for a moment and said softly, "If I panic like this, won't I make a fool of myself in front of Grandfather?"
Tu Subo couldn't help but laugh. He gently pinched the tip of her nose and said softly, "How is that possible?"
"Grandfather praised your wit and the teachings you received. If you don't believe me, why not go and ask for yourself?"
"Come on."
Gu Yuexuan pushed his mischievous fingers away, wrinkled her nose slightly, and muttered softly, "How could you know that I've been heartbroken these past few days, almost in despair? In such a situation, how could I have the nerve to ask for a reward?"
There is nothing strange about my grandfather's condition, and there is no sign of manipulation by others. This is a blessing in disguise.
Finally, she calmed down the anxiety of the Tu Su family. Although there is only a slight improvement at present, they are finally able to work together. If there are any more twists and turns at this time, she will be exhausted.
In her previous life, Gu Yuexuan grew up under the red flag of revolution and bathed in the protection of righteousness. She had only witnessed acts such as poisoning and murder in TV dramas. Those strange characters like ghosts and monsters seemed to exist only in the fantasy world of film and television works.
Her heart, pure as crystal, was deeply rooted in the simple soil and could not bear the twists and turns of insignificant human life.
