The shouts of the three children blew into Luo Lan's ears like a spring breeze. He watched them running in, and just as he was about to tell them to slow down, Yu Qiaoqiao quietly pushed Xiaobao. Xiaobao came over with a reluctant grumble. When he faced the three children, he instantly changed his face to a smile.
"Brother Huaiyu, Sister An'an, Brother Lele, Xiaobao did something wrong in the past. Please don't mind. I'm here to apologize to you today. Can we still play together in the future?"
His words startled the three children. After a long silence, Lele was the first to respond:
"Okay! Then let's go to the garden and play. My mother just bought some beautiful little fish. I'll take you to see them."
"Well, you're young, we won't argue with you, let's go play together!"
“…”
Seeing that the three children forgave him so easily, Xiaobao was instantly overjoyed and said happily:
"I've brought you some delicious food and fun things. Let's go play together!"
"That's great, that's great."
An An and Le Le clapped and cheered together. Although Huaiyu had a cold face, he followed their footsteps and ran outside.
You see, children’s thoughts are so simple. They can forgive each other just by saying a few words.
Seeing this scene, Luo Lan suddenly smiled bitterly, and then said to Leng Yu, who had always had a cold face:
"Husband, since the children have already let go of their past grudges, we adults should not dwell on this, or we will appear petty."
Leng Yu nodded in agreement with Luo Lan's words.
"Well, Ah Gang, go tell the kitchen to prepare dinner. Please invite Prince Xi and his family to dine here tonight."
Hearing this, Leng Ming snorted in displeasure and turned away.
Leng Xi clasped his fists quickly.
"Thank you, Fourth Brother, and Fourth Sister-in-law. Our family will come to visit you often in the future. You are also welcome to bring your children to visit Prince Xi's Mansion often."
Leng Yu did not respond to him. Although she forgave him on the surface, when she saw him, she would still remember the scene where he wanted to send assassins to kill her.
He looked at Luo Lan with a serious expression.
"Madam, I have something else to do. I'll be out for a while and will be back for dinner."
After leaving these words, he glanced at Leng Xi, nodded at him, and strode away.
Looking at his back, Leng Xi sighed somewhat dejectedly.
"Fourth brother still hasn't forgiven me, but I don't blame him. I've done a lot of wrong things in the past few years, so I don't blame him for hating me."
Luo Lan stood up and walked slowly to the two of them. Although his tone was light, it carried a certain majesty that made them dare not refute.
"Your fourth brother is a man who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. If you weren't his younger brother, based on what you've done to him over the years, he would have killed you..."
After saying this, she looked at Yu Qiaoqiao and chuckled:
"Qiaoqiao, let's go to the back garden and try the chrysanthemum tea we just bought."
"Okay, thank you, Sister-in-law."
Luo Lan nodded and walked forward with brisk steps. Yu Qiaoqiao glanced at Leng Xi and followed.
Leng Xi half-closed his eyes and looked at Luo Lan's back, his fists clenched tightly in his sleeves.
From what she said just now, it can be heard that he knew that he was the one who sent people to kill Leng Yu many times in the past.
It seems that he won't believe me unless I find an opportunity to show my loyalty to him.
Thinking of this, he curled his lips with a determined look, put his hands behind his back, and walked out the door.
Prince Yu's Mansion Back Garden
Luo Lan and Yu Qiaoqiao sat in the pavilion, looking at the happy children playing not far away, with a faint smile on their lips.
Luo Lan had a good impression of Yu Qiaoqiao. She was a gentle and elegant woman who never spoke loudly and did not like to talk much. She always liked to stay quietly aside.
Someone who likes quietness like this must have a story deep in her heart that she doesn't want to tell others.
"Qiaoqiao, try this chrysanthemum tea. It can clear away heat and detoxify, soothe the lungs and throat, and it can also calm the mind. If women drink more, there will always be many benefits."
"Really? I always have trouble sleeping at night, and feel dizzy during the day. I've consulted the imperial physician and received multiple prescriptions, but nothing works. If this tea can help me sleep, I'd be willing to drink more."
"Oh? Why can't you sleep? Why don't you tell me? As a doctor, I might be able to help you."
Luo Lan's question made Yu Qiaoqiao's face turn red instantly. She shook her head vigorously.
"Nothing...nothing, just...maybe there's a lot going on at home!"
She made up an excuse to get away with it. She didn't want to tell anyone about the secrets deep in her heart.
At this moment, Ah Cai came over with a bowl of brown sugar water.
"Princess, it's time to drink brown sugar water."
"Leave it there, drink it later."
"No, the prince specifically told me to watch you drink this bowl of brown sugar water."
Luo Lan frowned, pursed his nose, took the bowl of water, and slowly drank it under Acai's gaze.
After finishing a bowl of brown sugar water, Ah Cai continued to instruct while taking the bowl:
"The prince said that you haven't been feeling well these past few days and shouldn't sit for long periods of time. You should go back and lie down properly. He will be back soon. The prince has also specifically instructed the kitchen to prepare some nourishing dishes and soups for you while entertaining the guests."
Ah Cai's words made Luo Lan smile helplessly. She waved her hand at Ah Cai and said:
"I see. You go down first! Don't you see there are guests here?"
