"Luoluo, have the guests left?" Lou Wanyue looked outside and saw that it was getting late, it was already midnight.
Luoluo went out for a while, and when she came back she said in a low voice: "My lord, the guests have left..."
"Then..." Lou Wanyue paused here and smiled bitterly, "Xin'er, it's time to go to bed."
Dongfang Xin was extremely excited. He jumped in front of Lou Wanyue and asked crisply, "Where's Daddy?"
"Daddy is tired. Can you come to see him tomorrow?" Lou Wanyue picked him up and advised gently.
Dongfang Xin twisted his body back and forth, very reluctantly, but he finally agreed reluctantly. He did not sleep well that night.
Of course, Lou Wanyue also lied. When she woke up in the morning, her eyes were dark. Luluo gently rolled the silver-wrapped egg over her eye sockets and said, "Master, the lights were on in the west courtyard all night last night..."
Lou Wanyue didn't move or speak.
Luoluo continued, "Mrs. Zhong was angry this morning. She said she was scared living alone last night and there were strange noises everywhere in the house..."
When Lou Wanyue heard this, the corner of her mouth twitched: "You girl, you don't speak complete words."
Green Rose smiled and said, "Master, I know what you are worried about. Look, I have found out everything for you, right?"
"Go, prepare breakfast, and then invite the prince to come for breakfast." Lou Wanyue pretended to hit the naughty Luoluo, and Luoluo ran out with a giggle.
Dongfang Xin hugged Lou Wanyue's legs: "I want to find my daddy..."
"Okay, Daddy will be here soon." Lou Wanyue said with a smile.
"Really?" Dongfang Xin tilted his head, seeming a little unconvinced.
Lou Wanyue hesitated for a moment when she heard this. Yes, will he come?
They hadn't had a good talk since returning to Prince Shou's Mansion, nor had they talked during the entire journey. However, after hearing Luluo's words, she felt much better.
At breakfast, Dongfang Run did come over. Dongfang Xin was the happiest one. He hugged Dongfang Run and wouldn't let go. Lou Wanyue and Dongfang Run had always been a very quiet couple. There were some things they had never talked about before, and now one of them had lost his memory and the other was feeling uncomfortable, so they didn't know how to talk about these things.
Fortunately, there is Dongfang Xin, otherwise Lou Wanyue would be worried that it would be a dull occasion.
Dongfang Run's expression was relatively normal. At least he was the man Lou Wanyue was familiar with, not the man who was in trouble in the Zhong Mansion.
"I...was I also bored before?" Dongfang Run suddenly spoke.
Lou Wanyue felt a pang in her heart when she heard that. How could he be sullen? He just didn't talk because he didn't like her. She would feel his tenderness and care for An Qingran even if he shared a little bit with her.
He gave that white fox fur coat to An Qingran, but had never given himself anything. He had given himself some silk and satin items before, but none of them were things he really wanted.
So, she smiled and said, "It's good that you will remember it. Xin'er, come to mother and let your father have dinner."
But Dongfang Xin didn't come down, so Dongfang Run smiled and let him do it. Dongfang Xin calmed down. Dongfang Run fed him and he was very obedient, eating one mouthful at a time. Lou Wanyue had never seen him so obedient before and thought to herself that children need their fathers after all.
Fortunately, there is Xiner.
Lou Wanyue smiled and said, "Xin'er could talk when he was ten months old, but he couldn't walk at that time... But he worked very hard. He got sick when he was five months old, and his legs were weak, so he fell many times when he was learning to walk..."
Lou Wanyue said this with a smile, but Dongfang Run's eyes became moist. Xin'er knew what he was talking about, and couldn't help but look up and smile at her. Lou Wanyue reached out and stroked his little face, and Dongfang Xin giggled.
Dongfang Run wiped the rice grains from the corners of his mouth and asked, "How long will it take for him to learn to walk?"
"When he was thirteen months old, he could walk, and a few days later he could run. He was very happy. When he was twenty months old, he asked me for his daddy... I always told him that his daddy was a great hero and would come back to find us one day. So Xin'er kept asking me. If I didn't hear from you again, I really didn't know how to explain it to him."
Dongfang Run said, "Zhong Min'er has a bad temper. Don't take it personally. It was the Zhong Mansion that took me in..."
Lou Wanyue's heart ached. Is this what he wanted to say the most?
Is he afraid that he will abuse Zhong Min'er?
When I think of this, all the feelings disappear.
"I know you have suffered. Although I can't remember anything, I know that you have been very good to me." Dongfang Run had never said such warm and gentle words, which almost made Lou Wanyue stunned. She smiled.
"I'm glad you're back..." Lou Wanyue smiled.
Dongfang Run looked at her bright smile and was stunned. Somewhere in his heart, a gentle memory was touched. He stretched out his hand and was about to hold Lou Wanyue, but he heard the maid outside report: "Prince, Princess, the maid from the West Courtyard is here to see the prince."
As he was talking, Xiaoqiao came in from outside, knelt down on the ground, and said anxiously: "Sir, the young lady is not feeling well, what should we do?"
"Not feeling well?" Dongfang Run looked anxious. Lou Wanyue heard her call him "uncle", which was obviously the rule in the Zhong Mansion. She couldn't help but frowned, but finally said softly, "Husband, you should go and take a look. She needs someone to accompany her at this time."
Dongfang Run looked at her understanding eyes, and felt a little touched. He nodded and said, "I'll be back soon."
He's coming back?
Lou Wanyue felt a little happy in her heart, and couldn't help but nod with a smile, and said in a loud voice: "Luluo, go get the doctor. Also, I have some medicine in the cabinet. If you need anything, just go and get it."
Green Radish was a little reluctant: "That ginseng was given by the Queen Mother. You are in poor health and you need it..."
"Green ivy!" Lou Wanyue's face darkened. Green ivy took out the things and walked out. Dongfang Run, who had already reached the door, turned around and smiled at her: "You are thoughtful."
Lou Wanyue just hugged Xin'er tightly in her arms. Xin'er looked at Dongfang Run's back in confusion: "Mom, where is Daddy going?"
"Daddy has something to do." Lou Wanyue sighed.
******************
West courtyard.
When Zhong Miner saw Dongfang Run, she immediately lay back on the bed, looking aggrieved: "Zhong Run, where have you been? You didn't even have breakfast with me. Did you drink too much last night? I feel so bad for you."
Dongfang Run came forward and held her hand: "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Zhong Min'er didn't dare to compete for favor too obviously. She just held Dongfang Run's hand and said, "I just stretched it and my waist was a little sore. It's much better now... I'm a little scared to leave my parents. The capital is so big, and the Shou Palace is also so big. Min'er is afraid that if I take a wrong step, it will cause trouble for you. Zhong Run, now that you are here, I am no longer afraid. I'm much better now."
Her pitiful appearance immediately captured Dongfang Run's heart. I don't know why.
When he looked at Lou Wanyue, he only felt guilty, but when he saw Zhong Miner, he felt that she had touched a nerve. He knew in his heart that sometimes she did it on purpose, but when he saw her eyes, he couldn't lose his temper.
At the same time, the face of another woman appeared in his mind, that was the queen. He felt heartbroken when he saw her for the first time, but he could not say it or ask.
In the past, he thought that if he lost his memory, it would be fine if it recovered slowly, or if he couldn't remember it at all. But since he returned to the Prince Shou's Mansion, or rather, since he first saw the Queen, he hoped that his memory would be restored as soon as possible.
He really wanted to know what had happened to him.
Seeing that he was distracted, Zhong Min'er said unhappily, "Zhong Run, I have no appetite. Can you eat with me?"
Dongfang Run came back to his senses and nodded: "Okay."
"Is your son close to you?" Zhong Min'er asked again.
"Um."
Zhong Miner smiled: "That little guy is so cute, I like him too... I wonder if you will like the little thing in my belly after it is born?"
Dongfang Run gave her a strange look and said, "Of course I like it."
Zhong Min'er was quite keenly aware that since he came back, he was no longer the man she knew. There was a kind of majesty that emanated from him, which made her feel a little unfamiliar. So she did not dare to reveal her thoughts completely, and even found it difficult to bring up the idea of letting him live in her yard.
Dongfang Run brought the bowl of rice to her. Zhong Min'er did not act pretentiously anymore, but took it happily, stroking her waist with her hand, and said gently: "Although I don't have much appetite now, I will eat more for the sake of our child."
Dongfang Run didn't say anything. He took two bites and then put down his chopsticks.
"Zhong Run, why do you eat so little?"
"Call me Dongfang Run, or, husband." Dongfang Run said lightly.
Zhong Min'er's lips were half open, she was a little stunned, but soon, she smiled: "Yes, husband... Last night, the wind in this yard was so scary. Xiao Qiaotou and I came here the same day, and I don't know what happened. We didn't sleep well all night. Now I still feel sore all over and very sleepy."
"Well, I'll send two older maids over to give you courage."
Zhong Min'er's eyes flashed with displeasure, but she soon smiled again: "Well, that's fine, but I have one thing I want to clarify. When I see Lou Wanyue next time, how should I address her?"
Zhong Min'er really wanted Dongfang Run to acknowledge her status. After all, she was the one who saved him when he was in trouble, so she had done him a favor. What was that Lou Wanyue? She married him when he was at his most glorious, and following him was a life of luxury.
Dongfang Run was also stunned when she asked this, and then said: "Just call me sister for now."
Zhong Min'er agreed readily.
Just call her your sister.
It seems that she is indeed older than herself.
Thinking of this, she felt relieved. In fact, she still had many requests, but considering Dongfang Run's current condition, she had to take it step by step.
