After riding back to the Prince's Mansion, the Fourth Prince dismounted and took Su Peisheng straight to Peach Garden.
"Father!" In the outer room, Xiao Hongxuan, who was playing with building blocks facing the door, suddenly saw Fourth Master's figure and stood up abruptly.
Fourth Master quickly walked to Xiao Hongxuan's side and patted the little guy's head.
My eyes lingered on the little guy for a while, and I found that he was smiling and looked fine, just like usual. The worries that had been weighing on my mind finally dissipated.
"Hehe!" Little Hongxuan rubbed his head against Fourth Master's palm. Suddenly, he remembered something, and his bright black eyes darted around. "Where's my little brother! Xuan'er, I've looked everywhere, but I can't find him."
"Hmm?" Fourth Master was caught off guard by the question, and the thought that Xuan'er was really bold immediately flashed through his mind.
Surprisingly, she wasn't scared at all by almost falling to the ground today, and she even had the mood to think about her younger brother?
But, younger brother?
Fourth Master suddenly remembered how he had fooled his son that night, and immediately coughed awkwardly before continuing to fool him, saying, "He's still in your mother's belly."
"Huh?" Xiao Hongxuan bit his finger, feigning ignorance.
Is my younger brother still in my mother's belly?
The little one stretched out his two little hands, gesturing to show the size of his younger brother, while imagining what such a big brother would look like in his mother's belly.
Then, he became even more confused.
Mother's belly is so small?
How could a younger brother live in his mother's belly?
This place is clearly not big enough for everyone!
Just as Xiao Hongxuan was pouting and accusing Fourth Master of lying, a pleasant female voice rang out.
"Master, good health!" Jiaming quickly came out from the inner room after being reminded by the servant.
"Hmm!" Fourth Master responded coldly, completely lacking the gentleness he had shown when facing his son just moments before.
Jiaming: "..."
What's wrong with you, sir? A man's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea.
"Mother!" Xiao Hongxuan looked at Jiaming, then at Fourth Master.
Seeing this, Fourth Master said, "Su Peisheng, you stay," while continuing to pat Xiao Hongxuan's fluffy head.
The implication is that someone should keep an eye on the young prince while he's away.
"Yes, sir!" Su Peisheng bowed deeply, indicating that he understood the meaning.
Then, the Fourth Master glanced at Jiaming again before striding into the inner room with his long legs.
Jiaming felt that the gaze was cold and indifferent. Moreover, as the other person passed by, a gust of wind and a shadow brushed past her.
That feeling gave her an inexplicable chill.
In the apocalypse, I've experienced things far more terrifying than this, so what's there to be afraid of?
Jiaming, who was trying hard to convince herself, was unaware that her current state was displeasing to the Fourth Master.
Sensing that the person behind him still hadn't caught up, the Fourth Prince frowned and said coldly, "Guarjia clan, keep up."
Jiaming watched the Fourth Master's retreating figure speechlessly, then took light steps and followed him.
Hongtao was about to follow, but Su Peisheng stopped her with his hand.
"Eunuch Su, what is this?"
"Master Guarjia can go in now." He thought to himself: This Red Peach is still so clueless. He didn't even understand my obvious meaning. Sigh!
In stark contrast is Xiao Hongxuan, who, despite his small size, is quite clever and mischievous.
He tilted his head, watching the departing figures of Fourth Master and Jiaming. Coupled with the atmosphere just now, it seemed that he sensed something. Judging from his expression, he was deep in thought.
Upon seeing this, Su Peisheng couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "The Fourth Prince is indeed the Emperor's son. He's so young, yet so perceptive and thoughtful. Good for him."
Su Peisheng, who had served the Fourth Master since childhood, looked at Xiao Hongxuan's face, which was very similar to the Fourth Master's, and couldn't help but feel as if he were seeing the Fourth Master when he was a child.
What was happening in the outer room was no longer relevant to Fourth Master and Jiaming back in the inner room.
Fourth Master sat imposingly in his armchair, eyes closed, without uttering a word.
In this quiet environment, the inexplicable feelings that Jiaming had just suppressed began to resurface, and her heart started pounding again.
Although she inwardly chuckled to herself, she realized that she had never been in such a life-or-death situation before, and that her mental fortitude had practically regressed!
No matter how hard she tried to control herself and try to adjust her mindset with a smile, that feeling still followed her like a shadow. So, she had no choice but to give up and throw caution to the wind.
Feeling a little uneasy, Jiaming carefully poured a cup of tea for Fourth Master and then said cautiously, "Master, please have some tea."
Fourth Master suddenly opened his clear, black-and-white eyes. His gaze remained calm, yet the pressure he exerted on Jiaming was overwhelming.
Even Jiaming, a second-generation person who had experienced danger and pressure for a long time, couldn't help but stiffen.
"Master..." Jiaming's throat was a little dry, and her mouth was slightly open for a long time, but she could only utter one word.
The Fourth Prince was quite pleased with Jiaming's behavior.
So, he finally decided to let the other person go. He took the teacup from Jiaming's hand, took a sip of tea, and then put the teacup back on the table next to him.
When Jiaming saw that the Fourth Master had honored her with tea, she felt relieved and was no longer anxious.
However, she was still puzzled, wondering why the other person was angry with her. Had she done something wrong?
Thinking about it, she couldn't help but recall what had happened between her and Uya today.
Could it be that this man actually believed the rumors circulating outside, thinking it was his fault for corrupting his child, making him ill-mannered, and treating his stepmother poorly...?
What are you thinking about?
"Uh, it's nothing!" Jiaming thought to herself, even if she had something on her mind, she could only keep it to herself and couldn't say it out loud, especially not to you.
