Chapter 27 What does your father do?
Tianji also found it incredible.
Although the Yong'an Marquis Mansion has been acting more and more high-profile in recent years, he has fought on the battlefield after all. How could he collude with spies from the enemy country?
"I have already ordered people to stake out the area near the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion. If anything unusual happens, someone will report it immediately."
Shen Hechuan nodded.
"Don't alert the enemy."
He curled the corners of his lips and said, "Cast a long line to catch a big fish."
"Maybe there will be unexpected gains this time."
As Shen Hechuan spoke, he turned his horse around.
"Lock the man we caught for a few days and then try him."
Today is the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and he has to rush back as soon as possible. When he thought of the women he was about to face, he sighed softly.
He lowered his head and realized that he was holding a child in his arms. He was stunned for a moment.
Only then did he remember the child and quickly turned to ask Tian Ji.
"Have those two woken up?"
"who?"
Tianji was confused for a moment, but when he followed Chen Hechuan's gaze and saw Gu Jinxi in his arms, he suddenly realized.
"I will send someone to ask right away. Please wait a moment, Your Highness."
Chen Hechuan nodded, and when he looked down again, he found that the little guy in his arms had woken up at some point, and was squinting his eyes and looking at him warily.
After realizing that Shen Hechuan was looking at him, the little guy stopped pretending and just grinned.
The round eyes instantly curved into crescents, which made Shen Hechuan feel much better.
"uncle."
Gu Jinxi observed Shen Hechuan's reaction and spoke cautiously.
"Uncle, can you smile for a moment?"
Seeing his cautious look, Chen Hechuan couldn't hold back his laughter any longer and burst out laughing.
"Uncle, you look beautiful when you smile."
Gu Jinxi thought that if his mother saw it, she would definitely like it.
Do you want to take him back to your mother?
Gu Jinxi was about to take action when she suddenly remembered the trouble she had caused by trying to bring a man back for her mother, and she silently retracted the idea.
"Uncle, I'm hungry."
Gu Jinxi grabbed Shen Hechuan's collar and looked at him pitifully with her big eyes.
"Can you take me to dinner?"
He is now out of strength and needs to eat something to regain some strength before he can go and save his mother.
And Shen Hechuan was almost so angry that he laughed.
No wonder the little guy praised him for his beautiful smile, it turned out that he was waiting for him here!
"What do you want to eat?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Jinxi's eyes immediately brightened up.
"Can I eat anything?"
Shen Hechuan nodded, and suddenly felt a little distressed.
If those two were accomplices of the spy, they must have hijacked someone else's carriage, and this little guy might be the kidnapped child.
Not only did he almost lose his life, but he was also so hungry.
I don’t know what this child’s parents do for a living. They didn’t even know their child was missing.
As he spoke, he turned around and gave Tianji another instruction.
"Go and secretly check if anyone in Tiandu has lost a child."
Half an hour later.
In the elegant pavilion of Wanchun Tower.
Chen Hechuan looked at Gu Jinxi in shock as he was wolfing down his meal with big mouthfuls, then looked at the three empty bowls next to him and asked hesitantly.
"Is it okay for you to eat so much?"
Gu Jinxi put the last piece of braised pork into her mouth and closed her eyes in satisfaction.
"sure."
Gu Jinxi burped and nodded in satisfaction.
"I just... exercised too much."
Gu Jinxi explained, "Of course I need to eat more to replenish my energy."
After all, he beat so many people, so the amount of exercise was indeed huge.
As he spoke, he lowered his eyes pitifully.
"Uncle, can I have a few more maltose?"
He has recovered a lot of strength now and his stomach is full, but he still wants to eat some candy.
Because he knew that if he went back today, the candy his mother promised to give him would probably be gone.
The uncle in front of him seems easy to talk to, and he likes it very much. Maybe I can buy it for him.
"maltose?"
Chen Hechuan repeated doubtfully, but before he could speak, he heard Tianji beside him muttering softly.
"What a coincidence! Your Highness, you like to eat candy, and he likes to eat candy too."
Chen Hechuan glared at him, then took out a purse from his waist and handed it to Gu Jinxi.
He really does like candy.
But as a prince, he ate candy all day long, which inevitably made him a laughing stock among his ministers.
So he ordered people to make candy beans and always carried them with him. Whenever he was in a bad mood or irritated, he would eat one.
Gu Jinxi took the purse, opened it puzzledly, and found round, crystal clear beads inside. She looked at him puzzledly.
Seeing this, Chen Hechuan took one out and put it in his mouth.
"These are candy beans. Try them and see if they are sweet."
Seeing this, Gu Jinxi quickly picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.
In an instant, a pair of eyes curved again.
“It’s delicious!”
"This candy is much better looking and tastier than the crooked candy my mother gave me."
When Shen Hechuan saw it, he didn't know why, but he felt happier than if he had eaten candy.
He signaled Tianji with his eyes, and Tianji immediately understood and hurried out to buy another big bag of candy.
There are not only crystal clear sugar beans, but also candies of various colors, and even candies made into the shapes of various small animals, which are very beautiful.
Gu Jinxi's eyes were almost popping out.
"How beautiful! I didn't know there are so many kinds of malt sugar!"
"Are these all for me?"
Shen Hechuan nodded.
Gu Jinxi was so happy that she wanted to hold all the candies in her arms.
Little did he know that Gu Jingchun also bought these candies for Gu Jinxi, waiting to give him one a day just to give him a surprise.
But Gu Jinxi had no idea and was completely immersed in her own joy.
"Uncle, you are so kind. Normally at home, my mother wouldn't let me eat so much, and I could only eat one piece of maltose after I finished studying."
Shen Hechuan frowned.
What kind of mother is this, to be so harsh to her own child!
The child is in the growing stage now, but he is not even allowed to eat enough.
"As a mother, it's despicable that she treats her own child so harshly."
Chen Hechuan was filled with righteous indignation. Gu Jinxi frowned, not liking him talking about her mother like that, and immediately retorted:
"I don't allow you to speak like that, my mother. My mother is the best mother in the world."
Chen Hechuan snorted coldly, "If she is the best mother, why does she let you eat your fill?"
Gu Jinxi was suddenly speechless.
He couldn't possibly say that his mother didn't allow him to fight with others and deliberately punished him by not letting him eat!
If that happens, wouldn't my strength be exposed?
My mother said that no one could know about this.
Therefore, Gu Jinxi didn't know how to refute for a moment, and simply said: "My mother has no choice, she has already given me the best things."
There was a hint of grievance in Gu Jinxi's voice, which made Shen Hechuan pause.
When he first saw the material Gu Jinxi was wearing, he thought that Gu Jinxi must come from a wealthy family.
But when he thought about what Gu Jinxi had just said, he couldn't help but hesitate again.
I asked subconsciously.
"What does your father do?"
