When Gu Qinghuai woke up, Qiuqiu was sitting on the bed, looking annoyed.
Chiu Chiu lay on the bed, while he lay on the couch.
Seeing his puzzled look, Gu Qiuheng glanced at him and said, "You can't sit with someone who's eight years old. How old are you to still be lying down with a little girl?"
"Then at least give me a blanket!"
Gu Qiuheng casually yanked the blanket over him and threw it at him, emphasizing a carefree approach to raising a child.
"What's wrong with her?" Gu Qinghuai rubbed the back of his neck. "And what's wrong with me?"
Although the eastern half of the house had been thoroughly cleaned, Gu Qiuheng still discovered some clues. Thinking of this, his face darkened.
His allotted land was in the southwest, and Gu Qinghuai resided permanently at Wangchun Pavilion. After the plaque was removed, and over time, some people forgot that this was Gu Qiuheng's residence. Moreover, a very important person lived there!
Who lives there?
Gu Qiuheng's brow twitched. "A few petty scoundrels sneaked in, but they've already been chased away. Don't worry about the rest."
"I'm not talking about that man," Gu Qinghuai roared. "What about that woman? Who exactly is the woman living in the courtyard?"
Gu Qinghuai and Gu Qiuheng were separated when they were young, and as far back as he could remember, he had always lived in Wangchun Pavilion. He didn't understand why he would have to live in a place he already had in the capital; he felt like a discarded pawn.
"You're keeping women here?"
"Shut up!"
Gu Qiuheng was annoyed. He turned his back hastily, took a few steps forward, and then stopped. "Mind your own business. I'm your father, I won't harm you. I'm back this time to take you back to the Southwest to say goodbye to your friends. We'll leave after the New Year."
He left in a hurry after he finished speaking, and thoughtfully closed the door for Gu Qinghuai.
"Damn it! He's not my father!" Gu Qinghuai pounded on the soft couch, roaring in despair like an angry, powerless little beast.
[Father, we still need to acknowledge those we should acknowledge.]
Having a prince as a father is so prestigious!
Gu Qinghuai asked in surprise, "You've snapped out of it?"
Chiu Chiu's envious little face suddenly fell, and she cried out, "Brother."
Gu Qinghuai sat down next to Qiuqiu, listening to her rambling thoughts. The little girl lay dejectedly on the bed, her clothes already changed by the maids in the manor. They were Gu Wen's clothes, very large, hanging loosely on her. She lay on the bed, covered with a quilt, finding it difficult to even move.
"I'm unconscious, not asleep." Unable to look up, the little one resignedly pressed his face against the sheet. "I really am unconscious!"
The people here are so annoying! They insist she was asleep!
How could I possibly fall asleep if a needle as thick as that pricked me?!
The people here don't care about her health at all, she doesn't like it here!
Seeing that Qiuqiu was full of resentment, Gu Qinghuai wanted to comfort her, but he was even more resentful than her.
"I was also knocked unconscious."
Chiu Chiu looked at him with a sympathetic gaze: "Sigh."
"My father is hiding something from me, he... he..." Gu Qinghuai found it hard to say, "He's keeping a mistress behind my back!"
Chirp: "???"
Is this suitable for a small child like me? Please be more specific!
Gu Qinghuai: "..."
Just moments ago, Qiuqiu couldn't resist the mountain of blankets, but suddenly scurried out of bed and snuggled up to Gu Qinghuai, shaking his arms and asking, "Don't... cry?"
Men, it's not a sin to cry.
Gu Qinghuai certainly couldn't cry, nor did he need to. He just felt a little sad inside.
Qiuqiu's round face made people want to confide in her. Gu Qinghuai took off his shoes and lay down next to Qiuqiu, complaining to her about the grievances he had suffered over the years.
Gu Qiuheng stood outside the door listening quietly, her nails digging into her palms, before finally leaving without a sound.
Chiu Chiu's eyes welled up with tears. There are still so many pitiful children in the world. It's so wonderful that such a lucky baby like her is so fortunate!
Her father couldn't bear to see her sick and lying there all alone, and he was in no hurry to find her a stepmother!
Chiu Chiu was so angry that she crawled around in the dark on the bed, which scared Gu Qinghuai.
"Okay, okay, don't be upset. I'm not really that bothered by it." He said this to comfort Qiuqiu, but he couldn't hide his disappointment.
Chiu Chiu, her little face tense, crawled back from the foot of the bed: "Bullshit!"
"You're swearing!"
Chirp: [Bullshit!]
Gu Qinghuai: She did swear!
But the next second, Qiuqiu could move Gu Qinghuai to tears.
That stern-looking uncle has no taste; he doesn't even cherish such a handsome young man. If he came home with me, I'd give him the best food, the finest clothes, and I'd even take his bitter medicine for him!
The "face-obsessed" Qiuqiu can't stand seeing any beautiful person sad.
Gu Qinghuai hesitated for a moment: "I want to go home with you."
Chiu Chiu agreed immediately; hesitating for even a second would be disrespectful!
Come home with me, I'll give you a home!
Since Gu Qinghuai's health improved, the mute servant left. He didn't like being with unfamiliar people, and there wasn't even a servant in the huge courtyard. Of course, this gave the two of them a good opportunity to secretly pack their luggage.
Jin Fengnian was petting the cat at the door. Just now, Zhennan Wang came and went like a gust of wind. Now it's even more outrageous. Qiuqiu has turned into a tornado and swept away everyone's house.
"Ancestor, you robbed the Zhennan Prince's Mansion?" Jin Fengnian's hands trembled as he held a stack of silver notes. He'd never felt money was so hot to handle before!
Gu Qinghuai carried a small bundle that he had clumsily put together under Qiuqiu's guidance, his chest bulging with silver notes. When he wasn't insane, his watery eyes were quite intimidating. He glanced down at Qiuqiu, and encouraged by her, asked Jin Fengnian, "Brother Jin, can you help me escape?"
"Escape?" Jin Fengnian asked in confusion, "Where is the young master going?"
"I am not the heir apparent, and my father did not request a title for me." Gu Qinghuai said frankly, but Jin Fengnian had clearly read a lot of storybooks!
Without Gu Qinghuai needing to say anything more, he directly scooped up the little cow, hugged Qiuqiu, and said indignantly, "Brother will take you away!"
"But let's make this clear first, if anything goes wrong, Jiujiu will take responsibility!"
Chiu Chiu, true to her nature, patted her chest and hugged me.
Their journey was extremely smooth; no one paid any attention to where Gu Qinghuai went or what he was doing. This further confirmed Jin Fengnian's conjecture.
The three of them left the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, which had no plaque, without any trouble.
When they stepped outside, they saw Chen He and the others already waiting for them. They wondered why Gao Xun and Thirteen looked so grim; the moment they saw Jin Fengnian, they seemed ready to kill him with their eyes.
The kid spoke so mysteriously that Chen He immediately led Thirteen inside. If Gao Xun hadn't shown his token, their innocence would have been in serious trouble!
Chen He blushed deeply: "The house on the east side is the residence of Lord Fang's mistress. Madam Fang is currently handling household affairs. Have you discovered anything?"
Jin Fengnian shook his head, but the two younger ones behind him were nodding vigorously behind his back, so the three people opposite him ignored him.
Gao Xun: "What did you gain?"
Chiu Chiu pointed to the back of her neck: "Needle."
[A stranger pricked me with a needle!]
Gu Qinghuai: "There's a very strange man, who should be the person you're looking for. I remember what he looks like, and I can draw him."
Gao Xun breathed a sigh of relief; at least his efforts hadn't been in vain.
Chiu Chiu: [Why are you rolling it up behind my back!]
She lost consciousness as soon as she saw someone else's pair of shoes!
