“Child? When you and I were Jin’er’s age, we were living a life of constant danger.”
"Do you also want Xiao Ran to end up like you and me back then, facing utter ruin with the slightest misstep?" Gu Qian retorted, silencing He Lin.
After a long silence, he asked:
"Qian'er, aren't you afraid? The General's Mansion is no longer safe."
"I'm scared," Gu Qian said honestly.
That's why we need to find the real culprit as soon as possible.
"If you're afraid, why do you still indulge Jin'er like this? His temperament is all because you spoiled him."
"Yes." Gu Qian admitted that he had spoiled this child since he was a child. Sometimes he wondered if he had been wrong.
“Since Xiao Ran is unwilling to go with you, I cannot let you take him away.”
Whenever he thought of his junior sister, he couldn't bring himself to be strict with Xiao Ran.
“Your Majesty, if you respect the child, give him some time to adjust... You are badly injured, so rest well. I will tell the servants to prepare some medicine for your injuries.”
After Gu Qian finished speaking, he instructed Zhan Yue to take good care of His Majesty, and then headed towards the kitchen.
He knew that He Lin wouldn't listen to him, and he just hoped that He Lin could calm down.
Xiao Ran walked forward, unaware that her biological father was someone else entirely.
It's understandable that he couldn't accept it immediately.
Gu Qian didn't want Xiao Ran and He Lin to fall into the same extreme situation they had just experienced.
"Qian'er..." Hearing that Gu Qian still cared about him, He Lin felt warmed. He watched Gu Qian leave the room, then slowly lay down and closed his eyes.
In a corner outside the courtyard, Qiu Ling'er's eyes were already glistening with tears.
What she had just heard shocked her.
"Brother, that man is His Majesty, and Xiao Ran is a prince. So, he is a prince."
"Yes, he's a prince." Qiu Xu had already guessed the truth. "I wonder what will happen in the future."
"Who knows what the future holds?" Qiu Ling'er glanced in her sister's direction and saw Qin Susu running forward.
"What do you mean it's hard to say?" She was completely confused.
Qin Susu went home today and got a few changes of clothes. Fortunately, Liang Yuchen wasn't there.
As soon as she arrived, she saw that everyone in the General's Mansion had a solemn expression on their face, which inevitably made her puzzled.
"In the future, Master Susu." Qiu Ling'er pulled Qin Susu's wrist, waved to her brother, signaling him to return to his residence, and then said to the bewildered Qin Susu:
"Master Susu, please sleep with me tonight. Ling'er is scared to sleep alone." Actually, Qiu Ling'er just wanted to talk to someone.
"Okay," Qin Susu readily agreed.
Main courtyard suite,
Gu Xiaoran lay quietly on the bed, her eyes remaining motionless.
His previous pained expression vanished, and he became quiet.
He kept thinking about He Lin's words.
Why should he have to face this?
Is it right for him to keep escaping reality?
Things always need to be resolved, don't they?
Qiu Yan stayed by his side, accompanying him and offering him silent comfort.
Gu Qian sat to the side, seemingly deep in thought.
"Dad, Mom, I'm sorry to have worried you." Gu Xiaoran suddenly stood up, grinned at Qiu Yan and the other girl, and completely returned to her usual self, as if the scene just now had not happened.
After saying this, he touched his shrunken belly again.
"Mother, I'm hungry." She had been practicing her moves for a long time today, and because of the recent incident, she had missed her dinner.
Qiu Yan...
The speed at which he changed his expression...
"Yes, I'll send someone to serve the meal right away." She smiled gently and went to the kitchen.
As soon as I stepped outside, I saw Zhu Juan leaning against the wall in the distance, silently shedding tears.
Standing far to the side of Zhu Juan was Xuan Ming.
