The lamp oil in the room flickered a few times, and Liu carefully treated the man's wound.
Shen Qingqiu was just a child now, and she couldn't stand the intermittent eating at this moment. Liu took the medicine tray aside, held Shen Qingqiu in her arms and sat on the chair, coaxing her gently for a while. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, she took off the outermost cloak and put it on her.
Liu was trying to carefully coax her daughter to sleep, but as she was coaxing her, she felt something was wrong.
A fiery gaze kept haunting her. As soon as she looked up, she saw the man opposite her staring at her intently. Even though he was discovered, his face was not panicked at all. She lowered her head again.
"What's your name?" Gu Yong asked.
"My name is Liu."
"I asked you your name."
Liu frowned, "Sir, you can call me Liu, or you can call me Aunt Liu." She looked angry, but this Jiangnan woman was as gentle as water. Even when she was angry, she would frown. Gu Yong looked at her for a while, and the corners of his lips curled up more and more.
Her husband's family is the prefect Shen - that loser Shen Bin?
Liu only knelt for three days when she came to the ancestral hall. In addition, the way the gentleman looked at her always frightened her, so she got on the carriage and prepared to leave when the three days were up. Gu Yong stepped forward, holding the wound on his abdomen, and pulled open the curtain. He saw Aunt Liu looking at him with a pair of watery almond eyes, "Sir... do you have anything else to say?"
Gu Yong took out a wooden sign from his arms and said, "Thank you for taking care of me these days, young lady."
How could Liu dare to take this hot potato? "Master saved me, so I'll repay you. We should have cleared up early..." Shen Qingqiu yawned on the side. If there was no danger, she would not bother to care about these romantic matters.
"This is the token of my Gu family. If you have any request, just go to the Longzi Inn in the city. Even if you want the stars in the sky, they can get it for you." He forcefully pulled Liu's hand and stuffed it in.
"No, no, no--" Liu continued but did not dare to send it back.
Shen Qingqiu's eyes turned red from yawning, "I'm sleepy, I want to go back to sleep." He glared at Gu Yong who was looking for trouble. Gu Yong looked calm and composed, not realizing that he was annoying at all.
But he also knew that to please a girl with a baby, he had to please the baby first, so he got out a straw rabbit from somewhere and said, "This is a gift for you, do you like it?"
Shen Qingqiu was stunned for a moment, but he just said stubbornly, "I don't want anything more than a handful of grass."
He took the straw rabbit and went back to Liu's arms to sleep. Liu did not dare to argue with Gu Yong any more, and quickly called the driver to set off. Gu Yong watched the carriage disappear, his eyes gradually cold, and said, "Come out."
Soon, a group of people dressed as military officers gathered around the small ancestral hall, "Greetings, Lord Gu!"
——
Liu brought her daughter back to the Shen family. Logically, she should have paid her respects to Song, but Song said she was tired, so she asked the two of them to go back first.
Mother Chen saw Shen Qingqiu nodding her little head, and she also looked very sleepy. She carried her to the bed and took off her shoes and socks. Then she saw that the little girl was still holding a straw rabbit in her hand and refused to let go. After all, she was a child. Mother Chen sighed and said, "The monthly salary is coming, I'll go get it."
Liu was not favored, and Governor Shen would not reward her with anything, so she could only live on her monthly salary and was very frugal.
"I have to make new clothes for Qiu'er this year as she has grown taller." said Liu.
"Make yourself some clothes, too. You've had these three or four years."
"Why would I rely on this monthly allowance to live? I might as well save it for Qiu'er's dowry." Liu shook her head. "Forget it, Mom, I'll go with you. It's a good opportunity to see what snacks are in the kitchen. I think this little guy must have lost his appetite after being in the ancestral hall for a few days. What a glutton."
"As a child..." Mother Chen said, "The girl is a little bit evil, but she still has the heart of a child."
"Are you not afraid now?"
"What did you say, aunt? When have I ever been scared?" Even if he was scared, he felt good after slapping Lin Zhier twice.
He was about to go out, but someone around Shen Bin suddenly came over to tell him that the master would be coming over in the afternoon.
