Chapter 87 Would it be more comfortable to sleep together in each other’s arms?
Chu Ruohan couldn't lie down any longer, so she quickly got up, washed up, and carefully selected a set of neat and capable clothes to put on.
As soon as I stepped out of the door, I saw Song Ruyan coming towards me like a lively rabbit, with a mischievous smile on her face and sparkling eyes.
"Hey, would it be more comfortable to sleep together in each other's arms?"
Song Ruyan circled around Chu Ruohan, looking her up and down like a curious baby, muttering to herself, "Are you too weak? It's only autumn now, and you're already feeling cold, right? That's why I hold you to sleep together."
"How about I ask Doctor Qian to prescribe some tonic medicine for you?"
Chu Ruohan felt her face burning hot, and the shyness that she had suppressed with great difficulty suddenly surged up again, and even the tips of her ears were stained with a hint of bright red.
She glared at Song Ruyan in annoyance, and secretly complained in her heart: Is this girl really ignorant, or is she deliberately teasing her?
To hide her embarrassment, Chu Ruohan coughed twice, cleared her throat, and changed the subject, asking, "Where's Aunt Zhao? Why haven't I seen her?"
Song Ruyan curled her lips, spread her hands, and said helplessly, "I went to call her a long time ago, but she refused to come no matter what. She just lay on the bed like a dead pig. I tried my best but couldn't pull her up."
Chu Ruohan sighed lightly. Not to mention Aunt Zhao, even she couldn't get up.
If Gu Junze hadn't massaged her legs last night, she probably wouldn't be able to stand here now.
She calmed herself down, looked at Song Ruyan and asked, "What are we practicing today?"
"continue."
Song Ruyan uttered these two words lightly, and Chu Ruohan felt like the sky was about to fall...
For three consecutive days, Chu Ruohan devoted herself to high-intensity training, doing horse stance, running and jumping every morning.
Every night, she felt her legs were as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and she collapsed on the bed exhausted.
That morning, she got up as usual, but suddenly felt her legs swell up. Looking down, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, "After three days of hard work, my legs feel like they've gotten thicker. I'm afraid I can't even walk anymore."
As she was speaking, Yuling hurried in and respectfully reported, "Young Madam, Concubine Li is here."
Upon hearing this, Chu Ruohan was stunned at first, her brows slightly furrowed. She searched her mind carefully for a long time before she suddenly remembered that this Aunt Li was the concubine of the third branch of the Gu family.
Xuan Ge'er's biological mother.
She waved her hand gently and said, "Please let her in!"
"Yes." Yuling responded and left.
Chu Ruohan breathed a sigh of relief, secretly congratulating herself: "It's come at the perfect time, just the right opportunity for her to take a day off..."
Aunt Li, this is the first time she has stepped into the Anyang Marquis Mansion.
As she stepped into the mansion with Xuan Ge'er in her arms, she was stunned by the scene before her. Such a large mansion, with carved beams and painted buildings everywhere, pavilions and terraces scattered around, green grass, and winding paths leading to secluded places.
Aunt Li walked along with her eyes wide open. She had previously thought that the mansion she lived in now was quite luxurious.
But now compared with the Anyang Marquis Mansion, there is a huge difference and it seems a bit shabby.
There's no comparison at all!
Soon, under the guidance of the maid, Aunt Li finally arrived at Chu Ruohan's residence.
She straightened her clothes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her inner tension and excitement. Then she stepped over the threshold and entered the house with a humble smile on her face.
She bowed towards Chu Ruohan and said softly, "My concubine greets the Madam of the Crown Prince."
Chu Ruohan looked up and saw that Aunt Li was wearing a peach pink silk dress and holding Xuan Ge'er in her arms.
She hurriedly stood up to greet her, smiling and saying, "Madam Li, please stand up quickly. No need to be so polite."
As he spoke, Chu Ruohan's gaze fell on Xuan Ge'er.
With a smile in her eyes, she said softly, "I haven't seen you for a few days. The child has become a little plump."
Aunt Li put on a flattering smile, which contained a hint of caution and flattery.
"Yes, yes, this child eats well and sleeps soundly. The nurse takes good care of him, and I keep an eye on him all the time, hoping that he will grow up strong and healthy."
As she spoke, she gently rocked Xuan Ge'er in her arms, her eyes full of love.
Xuan Ge'er seemed to feel everyone's gaze, waving his little hands and babbling.
His black eyes looked around curiously, showing his naivety, which made Chu Ruohan couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch his little face.
Chu Ruohan couldn't help but take the child and held Xuan Ge'er in her arms. The little guy was not shy and giggled at her and reached out to grab the hairpin on her head.
Allen Chu teased him with a smile: "Xuan brother, do you still remember your aunt?"
Xuan Ge'er blinked his eyes, as if he understood, and responded with a babbling sound. His little hand tightly grasped a strand of Chu Ruohan's hair and refused to let go.
Aunt Li watched from the side, a barely perceptible gleam in her eyes.
I really came at the right time today.
Her husband told her that since the wife of the Crown Prince of Anyang Marquis's Mansion liked Brother Xuan, she should visit him more often.
He wanted to fight for a better future for himself, and Aunt Li also wanted to find a backer for Xuan Ge'er...
"Madam, this child loves to be close to you. It seems like they are destined to be together."
Chu Ruohan sat down on the chair holding Xuan Ge'er, playing with him, and did not notice the change in Aunt Li's eyes.
"Xuan'er is a cute, well-behaved and smart child. He will definitely have a great future."
Aunt Li bowed slightly, the smile on her face growing even wider. "Thank you, Madam, for your kind words. If that day ever comes, I will definitely remember your kindness."
The maid brought tea and snacks, and Chu Ruohan gestured to Aunt Li to share.
Aunt Li bowed slightly in thanks, picked up the teacup and took a sip. Then she heard, "Aunt Li, what brings you here today?"
"I've been so bored staying in the yard, and I have no relatives or friends, so I thought I'd come over to have a cup of tea and talk."
Chu Ruohan's gaze lingered on her face for a moment, and she smiled gently, without exposing her somewhat awkward excuse.
While teasing Xuan Ge'er in her arms, she said casually, "If Aunt Li feels bored, just come over in the future. This mansion is big, with many people and many things to do. It's rare for me to have someone I know well to talk to."
Aunt Li was delighted and nodded hurriedly in response, "It is my honor to have such care from Madam."
Aunt Li chatted with Chu Ruohan about some trivial matters of raising children, and her words were full of flattery for Chu Ruohan. Chu Ruohan listened attentively...
On the other side, Wang knocked over the teacup in her hand, and the tea splashed on her skirt, but she ignored it and shouted angrily: "She is a concubine and she didn't even ask for permission from me, the mistress. Does she still have me, the mistress of the house, in her eyes?"
"It was ordered by the Master..."
Before the maid could finish her words, Wang suddenly rushed forward, raised her hand and slapped the maid hard. The crisp sound of the slap echoed in the room.
"Shut up! You treacherous slave, you're turning your elbows outward and speaking in favor of that little bitch."
"Having come to the capital, how can the rules of this mansion be disrupted..."
