Shen interrupted Gu Nanzhao's unspoken words: "Your Highness has always been a sensible person, I am relieved." She did not give Gu Nanzhao a chance to speak, and warned the other young masters and young ladies of the Chu family, "You guys too, don't cause trouble for His Highness when you go out!"

Everyone responded without hesitation. After being cooped up in the house for most of the day, they all wanted to go out for some fresh air.

It was rare for the Second Prince to come out of the palace to the mansion, and Second Madam Liu also wanted to create an opportunity for her daughter. Naturally, she didn't want Chu Qianchen to follow her, so she smiled and urged them to set off quickly, saying that it would be dark if they were any later.

Gu Nanzhao glanced at Chu Qianchen again, recalling their conversation in the pavilion today.

He still had a lot to say to Chu Qianchen, and he wanted to take out his heart and let her see his feelings for her...

Why--

He told himself in his heart that Sister Chen was still young and probably didn't know that he, as a prince, also had many things to do. He would talk to her slowly later, they still had time.

In the end, Gu Nanzhao didn't say anything else and left the Marquis' Mansion with everyone else. After these young people left, the mansion suddenly became much quieter.

At this time, it was already past mid-afternoon, the sun was setting in the west, the sunlight was pouring down, the green tiles on the eaves and the flowers and leaves on the branches were all glowing with a faint golden sheen.

It’s April, the weather is getting warmer and warmer, even the spring breeze is getting warmer.

After seeing off the guests, Shen took Chu Qianchen back to the main courtyard. However, as soon as they entered the courtyard, the head maid Dongmei hurried over to report: "Madam, the Marquis just arrived!"

Shen raised her eyebrows and naturally guessed why Chu Lingxiao came.

She didn't ask Chu Lingxiao, but asked Chu Yunmu instead: "Where is Brother Mu?"

Dongmei was Shen's head maid, so she knew her master's intentions and said, "The fourth young master has returned to his own room."

Ever since Chu Yunmu removed the splint, he took the initiative to ask to move back to his own room, saying that he was already five years old. Seeing that his right leg was almost healed, Shen let him go.

Shen brought Chu Qianchen back because she was in a bad mood and didn't want her to be alone. She naturally wouldn't let Chu Qianchen go to Chu Lingxiao to be bullied for no reason, so she said in a gentle voice: "Sister Chen, go play with your fourth brother."

Shen gave Chu Qianchen a reassuring look, telling her not to worry about anything.

Chu Qianchen responded with a smile and took Amber to find Chu Yunmu.

Shen went through the main hall and into the east side room.

Chu Lingxiao was standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back. When he heard the noise, he turned around and looked at Shen with sharp eyes.

In the backlight, Chu Lingxiao's face was slightly blurred in the shadow, and his eyes looked even colder.

His first question was, "Do you know about the fire at Qinghuiyuan?"

Just as Shen had guessed, Chu Lingxiao came for Aunt Jiang.

"I know." Shen said as she sat down on the Arhat bed with an elegant posture and a calm demeanor.

Chu Lingxiao was holding back a lot of things to say. He wanted to ask Shen Shi, since she knew about this, why didn't she send someone to Qinghui Courtyard to check...

But he finally endured it. Thinking of Aunt Jiang's feet being burned like that, Chu Lingxiao felt distressed and reluctant. He patiently said to Shen: "Azhi, there was a fire in Qinghui Courtyard just now. Shan'er was not only frightened, but also injured. Let's forget about the house arrest."

Previously, because of the Cui Madam incident, Shen not only punished Madam Jiang by confining her to her room, but also made her kneel for an hour every day. Chu Lingxiao had long been dissatisfied.

Aunt Jiang suffered so much today, and Chu Lingxiao felt even more distressed for his beloved concubine.

Shen was happy. She was worried that she wouldn't be able to find an opportunity to have another fight with Chu Lingxiao.

So, she refused without saying anything: "No."

These two words seemed to light up firecrackers, and Chu Lingxiao's anger finally burst out: "Shen Zhi, don't be so arrogant, do you really think that our Yongding Marquis Mansion will be useless without you?"

"You think too highly of your Shen family!"

“…”

Chu Lingxiao's hysterical voice was clearly heard outside the house, and the servants in the yard were all silent.

The sound also reached the ears of Chu Qianchen and Chu Yunmu.

Chu Qianchen: “…”

She stood up and silently closed the door, blocking out the noise.

Then, the world became quiet.

Chu Yunmu looked at the closed door and stammered, "Second sister, are Dad and Mom arguing?"

He tilted his head and looked at Chu Qianchen, his black and white eyes a little dim.

Even though he was only five years old, he could sense that there was something strange going on between his parents recently.

Chu Qianchen just smiled and looked at a picture of a foal on the table. On the paper was a heroic white horse, and the foal was wagging its tail happily.

Chu Qianchen did not answer but asked: "Brother Mu, what if someone wants your Xiaoyun?"

Xiaoyun is Chu Yunmu's favorite horse. It is only eight months old and was given to him by his uncle from the Shen family. Before Chu Yunmu was injured, he would go to see his foal every day.

"No!" Chu Yunmu answered without hesitation.

Xiaoyun is his, and he won't give her to anyone else.

but……

If Chu Qianchen wanted, he could consider lending it to her occasionally!

Chu Yunmu was just about to show off his generosity when Chu Qianchen said, "What if that person comes every day and asks you for Xiaoyun every day, and you don't give her to him, and he bribes the servants to secretly take Xiaoyun away?"

Although nothing that Chu Qianchen said had happened yet, Chu Yunmu already felt very involved. He felt that his Xiaoyun was coveted by someone, and he said angrily: "Then I must kick him out and make him never dare to come to my house again!"

"Yes." Chu Qianchen smiled and touched his head, "So, mother is not arguing with father."

As she spoke, she winked at Chu Yunmu playfully.

Chu Yunmu is a smart child and understands things quickly.

So, Dad came to Mom to ask for something Mom liked, but Mom thought Dad was annoying, so she just used the quarrel to make him too embarrassed to ask for it again?

He jumped off the chair, and walked to Chu Qianchen skillfully with his cane. He patted his chest proudly and said, "Chu Qianchen, when I get better, I will take you to ride a horse. You have never ridden a horse before, right?"

"I can teach you how to ride a horse."

Chu Yunmu felt that he must let his second sister see his heroic figure on horseback, so that his second sister wouldn’t touch his head all the time. What if he couldn’t grow taller because of being touched?

He will become a general in the future!

The more Chu Yunmu spoke, the more excited and proud he became.

Chu Qianchen said that his legs had recovered very well, which meant that he would soon be able to climb up the roof and play with cats and dogs again.

Looking at his cute little appearance, Chu Qianchen felt soft in his heart and said, "Okay, you teach me."

Chu Yunmu felt very pleased with Chu Qianchen's "respectful" look. Suddenly, he felt that he had become tall and mighty.

He said happily: "You can ride my Xiaoyun first. Xiaoyun is only eight months old. He is not that tall and not that scary."

"My uncle said it's best for beginners."

"By the way, Xiaoyun loves candy the most. Next time, if you give it a piece of candy, it will allow you to touch it."

Chu Yunmu talks endlessly about his horse.

When Shen came in, she saw the brother and sister talking and laughing. The corners of her lips curved up, and the smile on her face deepened a little. She asked, "What are you talking about?"

Looking at his mother's smiling face, Chu Yunmu thought to himself: What my second sister said is indeed right!

He was completely relieved and said with a smile: "Mom, I told my second sister that when my legs are fully healed, I will teach her how to ride a horse!"

The five-year-old boy raised his chin slightly, his eyes and tone could not hide his pride and boasting, he was so proud that he almost said, "Come and praise me, come and praise me!"

As he wished, Shen rubbed his soft hair and praised, "Our Mu brother is really amazing!"

"Since you have agreed, you must be responsible for teaching your second sister!"

Chu Yunmu said in a little adult tone: "Of course, I am a man, of course my words are law!"

Shen and Chu Qianchen exchanged glances, and both were amused by Chu Yunmu.

The crisp laughter filled the house. Outside, a few birds flapped their wings and flew high. Willow branches swayed in the wind, creating a peaceful and tranquil environment.

At this moment, Chu Qianchen had completely forgotten the previous unhappiness, and his smile was as bright as a blooming spring flower.

She looked at Chu Yunmu with a smile, patted the beauty couch, and said three words: "Let's start."

Just three words made Chu Yunmu's face fall again. He flattered Chu Qianchen and said, "Second sister, let's forget about it today, okay?"

These days, Chu Qianchen would come over every day to accompany Chu Yunmu for an hour of exercise and to do some rehabilitation for his injured leg. These movements were extremely monotonous and boring. If Chu Qianchen hadn't been watching, Chu Yunmu would have slacked off several times.

Chu Qianchen and Shen looked at each other and said in tacit agreement: "No!"

Chu Yunmu pouted her lips, inexplicably feeling that she was no longer their favorite Brother Mu.

Shen rubbed his head again and coaxed him: "If you listen to your second sister, mother will give you a reward."

After hearing Shen's words, Chu Yunmu obediently lay down on the beauty couch, and under Chu Qianchen's instructions, he began to move his toes...

Chu Yunmu felt that the next hour was longer than usual. When all the sand in the hourglass had leaked to the other side, he could hardly wait to sit up from the beauty couch.

"It's been an hour!" Chu Yunmu leaned towards Shen intimately, "Mom, what reward do you want to give me?"

The person who answered him was not Shen:

"Brother Mu, how about the sesame almond candy from Jinshiji?"

Chu Qianhuang came in with a box of snacks, her eyes swept over the three people who were talking and laughing in the room. The maid behind her, Baoqin, was also holding a red lacquered carved wooden box.

"Yes!" Chu Yunmu nodded without hesitation, his voice loud and clear.

Chu Yunmu loves eating candy the most. Normally, Shen is afraid that he will damage his teeth, so she is very strict with him. Normally, he can only ask for some candy from his grandmother and his brothers and sisters.

Chu Qianhuang gave the box of crispy candies to Chu Yunmu, then looked at Chu Qianchen and said with a smile: "Second sister, when I went out shopping just now, I bought some handkerchiefs, silk flowers and so on. Do you want to pick a few too?"

She made a gesture, and Baoqin presented the box in her hand to Chu Qianchen. The box was filled with small embroidery items of various colors, such as silk flowers, handkerchiefs, purses, etc. Chu Qianhuang had a good eye, and the items she picked were like spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums, each with its own merits.

Chu Qianhuang walked over to Shen and sat down, saying casually, "Mom, my fourth sister, fifth sister and I came back early, and my third sister said she wanted to go to Jishitang to have a look."

"I heard that the miracle doctor at Jishitang not only cured Qi Niang's face, but also cured many people with his miraculous hands, and he has the ability to 'revive the dead and turn bones into flesh'. Mother, is that miracle doctor really that amazing?"

As she spoke, she secretly looked at Chu Qianchen from the corner of her eye.

Chu Qianchen was picking out a lotus-colored silk flower from the box, holding it in his hand and playing with it for a while, also looking at Shen.

Not only her, but even Chu Yunmu looked over with blinking eyes.

Shen took a sip of tea and said calmly, "I don't know about that. Hearing is not as good as seeing. If you want to know, why don't you ask your aunt?"

This matter was Chu Qianchen's secret, so Shen didn't even tell her own daughter.

"Mother is right. I'll know when I go to the Prince's Mansion to see Qi Niang someday." Chu Qianhuang tilted her face with some regret, and suddenly asked Chu Qianchen, "Second sister, you also know medical skills, what do you think?"

"I'll go to Jishiditang when I go out someday. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to come across it." Chu Qianchen picked out another small and exquisite purse, held it in her hand and played with it for a while, thinking that the set of gold needles she ordered would be finished soon, and this purse would be just right to use as a place to hold the needle bag.

She smiled with satisfaction, put the purse and silk flowers she had picked aside, and thanked Chu Qianhuang.

Chu Yunmu was aroused by Chu Qianhuang and asked curiously: "Big sister, has the miracle doctor of Jishiditang saved many people? Is this miracle doctor better than Chu... Second sister?"

Chu Qianhuang glanced at Chu Qianchen again, opened her lips slightly, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by a breathless female voice outside the door: "Is the Madam here?"

Soon, Nanny Chen brought in a woman in green, who reported with sweat all over her forehead, "Madam, the third young lady just smashed up Jishidi Hall!"
