Gu Hong's dark fingers formed a sharp contrast with An An's fair face.
Shen Ningsi looked at this scene and couldn't help but find it funny and absurd.
But before Gu Hong's fingers left An An's face, the originally quiet little girl suddenly pouted.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Are you hungry?"
Gu Hong's originally relaxed brows immediately furrowed.
He thought that he had practiced several times and would be able to remain calm in the face of a crying child.
But he didn't expect his mind to go blank in an instant. While touching An An's belly, he turned the child over from Shen Ningsi's arms, wanting to check if he had wet his pants.
"Gu Hong!"
Shen Ningsi couldn't stand it anymore and turned around, not letting him touch the child again.
"I shouldn't have been so soft-hearted and let you get close to them. Your fingers are so rough and you don't know how to control your strength. An An's face is already red. How can she not cry?"
"Oh, don't be angry. I didn't realize I was being too heavy-handed. Be careful next time, be careful next time..."
Gu Hong hurriedly smiled. On the one hand, he wanted Shen Ningsi to turn around and let him see An An's current situation. On the other hand, he was worried that he was not as good as Shen Ningsi and could not coax An An, so he could only turn around in a hurry.
The children who had been called by Shen Ningsi to eat in the main hall, seeing that Shen Ningsi and Gu Hong had not appeared for a long time, could no longer bear it and came looking for them.
An An and Kang Kang may have suffered a lot in the womb. As long as they are not in unbearable pain and hunger, both children rarely cry and can be easily coaxed.
Seeing that An An no longer cried, Shen Ningsi breathed a sigh of relief. She put An An on the bed, then turned to look at Gu Hong, the anger in her heart still not subsided.
"Gu Hong, could you please not use your habits towards soldiers on these children? You can lift a jack easily, and even if you deliberately use less force, it's still heavy!"
She rolled up her sleeves and said, "Look at what you've done. If I don't tell you, you can just pretend you don't know!"
I saw that there was already a circle of obvious red marks on Shen Ningsi’s snow-white wrist.
"I'm still a strong person, but you squeezed me so hard that I became like this. How can these children withstand your strength?"
The children who were watching the show outside the door rushed in instantly. Gu Xiuwen stood in the front and stared at Gu Hong coldly.
Gu Xiuwu immediately protected Shen Ningsi behind him, "What did you do again!"
Xiao Yun'er's eyes were red and she was about to cry.
How could Gu Hong care about Gu Xiuwu's second bedroom now? He walked around the children and stood next to Shen Ningsi, feeling very confused.
"Did you just make this in the kitchen?"
Seeing Shen Ning thinking about taking her hand back, Gu Hong quickly pinched her fingers and said in frustration, "I forgot that you're delicate. Damn it! I clearly remembered on the battlefield that I must be very gentle when I touch you in the future."
Before Gu Hong could even think about what he had said, he turned around and shouted, "San Yazi, where is the batch of vanishing cream I intercepted in the west? Why don't you send it over to me?"
This is Gu Hong’s spoils of war.
He grew up in a remote village. Apart from his immense strength, he had no other advantages and no knowledge.
The emperor had already rewarded him with a large amount of gold, silver, and jewelry. After he returned to his ancestral home, the general was so worried that he couldn't make it up to him that he almost emptied the general's mansion to give him a housewarming gift.
Gu Hong had never entered the house bestowed by the emperor, but according to Sanyazi's report, the warehouse had already been filled with valuable gifts, and many extremely precious things were placed directly in the yard.
The last thing Gu Hong asked for in the court was this batch of vanishing cream.
Sanyazi hurriedly brought over the small jade bottle, only to see Gu Hongyu plug it in, and the milky white paste was thickly applied on Shen Ningsi's red wrist.
"I remember that when I pinched you lightly, your body was covered with bruises. I've tried it before, and it's a vanishing cream that can instantly remove even the bruises."
Gu Hong carefully instructed, "If you accidentally bump into something in the future, take it out and apply it thickly. Don't worry, the barbarians in the west who specialize in vanishing cream have already surrendered. His Majesty has promised me that the vanishing cream in the general's mansion will never run out."
Shen Ningsi only felt a cool sensation on the place where the ointment was applied. Although Gu Hong's hand was heavy, he still controlled the strength. Shen Ningsi only felt a little pain at that time.
She also knew the reason for the red marks, which was probably because her skin was relatively fragile.
Shen Ningsi withdrew his hand awkwardly, "It's not that serious. This medicine is so effective, it should be worth a lot of money. General, keep it as a gift or for your own use. Don't use it on me. I'm not hurt."
"Are they worthy of these?"
Gu Hong curled his lips slightly, "I survived many deaths to get these vanishing creams, what qualifications do they have?"
Shen Ningsi reacted to what Gu Hong meant and couldn't help but blink.
"General, this isn't something for the emperor, is it?"
Sanyazi glanced at Gu Hong, and seeing that the man seemed to be reluctant to explain again, he quickly explained.
"Madam, even the imperial concubines only started using this stuff this year. Those barbarians in the west have been so arrogant and domineering for so long. How could they possibly send something to the imperial court in the past?"
"The general led the Gu family army to sweep across the western tribes, capturing countless spoils, but at court, the general only asked for this vanishing cream. It's incredibly precious! Even if you had a bruise that was visible to the bone, applying this cream for a month would completely eliminate it after the wound heals."
Shen Ningsi took a deep breath, "Gu Hong, do you really think you are the landlord's stupid son? Why would you give me such a good thing? This little red mark will be gone after tonight!"
Shen Ningsi was really heartbroken.
If an ointment that can restore scars to their original state were put on the market, it would be sold at a sky-high price!
Looking at the thick paste on his wrist, Shen Ningsi's eyes began to darken.
Gu Hong earned this vanishing cream with his own ability, so of course he can give it to whoever he wants, and he has the final say on how to use it.
Upon hearing this, Gu Hong sneered, "I know for sure that your body will bruise two or three times if you just pinch it. Only you can say such nonsense that it will be fine after a good night's sleep!"
Gu Xiuwu finally couldn't bear it anymore after hearing this. He pounced forward and kicked Gu Hong in the calf.
"Don't think that you can let bygones be bygones just because you took out these goodies. You even dared to secretly pinch your mother!"
Gu Xiuwu jumped up and grabbed Gu Hong's throat. "I'm with Mother every day, so how could I not know that you secretly touched her? Did you do it before? Watch me seek justice for Mother!"
