Upon hearing this, Xiao Bao's eyes immediately reddened, and he shook his head.
He refused.
Su Ruojin sighed inwardly. Although she didn't know which family Xiaobao belonged to, it was definitely not an ordinary family. She didn't want to get too involved with these noble families.
"Little Bao, be good, listen to your sister, go back with the housekeeper. You need to take your medicine. I'll come see you when I have time, okay?" Su Ruojin patiently persuaded.
Xiao Bao blinked his big eyes, and large tears rolled down his cheeks, making everyone feel inexplicably sorry for him.
Su Ruojin took his hand and walked back to the cotton candy stall, buying him another little rabbit cotton candy.
"Little Bao, don't cry. We should laugh more like this little rabbit. I promise you, I'll come see you whenever I have time. Let's pinky swear." After saying that, Su Ruojin raised her hand and bent her little finger.
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Bao raised his hand and hooked his finger with Su Ruojin's.
Su Ruojin smiled and patted his head, then placed his hand in Butler Zhang's hand.
Butler Zhang didn't forget to slip the silver note to Su Ruojin, then took Xiaobao and left, afraid that the little darling would change her mind if he was even a second late.
Xiao Bao followed Steward Zhang closely, glancing back at Su Ruojin every now and then.
Su Ruojin smiled and waved goodbye to him until Xiao Bao and the housekeeper disappeared around the street corner before she turned and left.
At the same time, a man dressed in black, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and extremely handsome, stood on a street corner not far away watching this scene.
Hu Qing, who was standing next to him, asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, should I go and inquire about this young lady?"
Xiao Yanchu hesitated for a moment, then said, "No need."
Today, a servant reported that the young master was missing. Xiao Yanchu sent everyone in the manor out to search for the young master. He could not allow anything to happen to his elder brother's only bloodline.
Seeing Yi'er with Butler Zhang, Xiao Yanchu felt relieved.
As for the young girl, since she accepted Steward Zhang's silver notes, the matter is considered settled.
Back at the temporary residence in Yanyang, Xiao Yanchu went to Xiaobao's room, where Granny Du was feeding the child a bowl of sea cucumber porridge.
No matter how much Granny Li coaxed him, even with the spoon placed near his mouth, the child wouldn't open his mouth and just sat there blankly.
Upon seeing Xiao Yanchu enter, Granny Du put down her bowl and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, the young master refuses to eat anything. He may have been frightened today."
"Why are you feeding her? Where is Granny Li?"
After the young prince arrived at the palace, he was always taken care of by Granny Li. He wouldn't eat if anyone else tried to feed him.
Du Mama hurriedly replied, "Li Mama has an upset stomach and cannot serve the young master."
Du Mama couldn't very well tell the Prince directly that Li Mama was acting strangely today, having spent almost the entire day in the outhouse since returning.
Earlier, when she passed by the outhouse, she happened to see Granny Li coming out. Granny Li's lips were pale, she was completely exhausted from diarrhea, and she smelled strongly of the outhouse.
How can someone like this serve their master?
Du Mama wanted to greet Li Mama and ask about the situation, but she saw Li Mama's expression change as soon as she came out of the outhouse, and she turned around and went back into the outhouse.
Later, it was said that Li Mama's daughter, Cuiping, went to the family doctor to get a prescription for medicine, and after taking it, she was able to lie down and rest in bed, no longer needing to soak in the outhouse all the time.
Xiao Yanchu didn't say anything more, and picked up the bowl: "Yi'er, let me feed you."
The child still didn't open his mouth, but turned his head and stared straight at a certain spot.
