He Jiuniang looked left and right, and still said, "Let's just let it go this time. Let's talk about it after you've finished this matter. Anyway, I'm just reminding you not to keep making empty promises to the child. It will affect your image in the child's mind."
He Jiuniang could understand Lu Baichuan breaking his promise, after all, there were too many uncontrollable factors, and it was not something Lu Baichuan wanted. But he had to fulfill his promise to the child, no matter how difficult it was. Even if he couldn't fulfill it, he would find a new wish to fulfill.
Lu Baichuan hadn't really thought that much about it. He just felt that he genuinely wanted to take the child horseback riding, but due to various reasons, it had been delayed, so he could only postpone it to the next time.
His thoughts differed from He Jiuniang's, but he didn't have any ill intentions. That's why He Jiuniang spoke to him in this way, mainly to improve the relationship between father and son.
"good."
Lu Baichuan pursed his lips and suddenly felt that he was a very unsuccessful father.
Perhaps because she hadn't been involved in her son's upbringing and didn't know how to interact with him, she fell into this vicious cycle.
Fortunately, his son is sensible and understanding of his father; otherwise, he might have turned against him long ago.
The crooked letter was still sent back to Jingzhou and ended up in Gou'er's hands.
These past two days, Gou'er had been worried about his father and hadn't been in a good mood. But in order not to worry his older brothers and sisters, he forced himself to keep smiling. When he received Lu Baichuan's letter, he felt like he had come back to life instantly.
Father is alright, he was just injured, but with Mother taking care of him, he'll definitely be fine.
That's good, he even thought he was going to lose his father again.
He raised his little hand to wipe away his tears, trying not to let his older brothers and sisters notice anything amiss.
Fortunately, he was smart and learned a few more words, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to read the letter and might have had to ask his older brothers for help, which would have exposed that his father was injured.
"Doggy, what's wrong?"
Lotus came in and saw the dog grinning foolishly, which she found a little strange.
"Father wrote to me, saying that he and Mother are staying in the capital to handle some matters and won't be back for a while. When they come back, he'll take us horseback riding, hehe!"
His feelings could almost be described as excitement, not because his father could take him riding a horse, but because he knew his father was still alive.
Lianhua didn't know about Lu Baichuan's injury, so she couldn't understand Gou'er's feelings. She just thought the child must miss his parents, so she squatted down to hug him and said, "Gou'er, be good. Your third uncle and aunt must have something urgent to deal with, so they can't come back in time. Sister Lianhua will stay with you, okay?"
The dog nodded, hugged Lotus tightly, and laughed, "Yes, yes, I like Sister Lotus the most!"
In Jinzhou, Qin Jian finally arrived in a great hurry and went straight to Prince Chen's residence to see Prince Chen, only to be told that Prince Chen had not yet gotten up.
Qin Jian: ? ? ?
It's already high in the sky! Normally, he would have already returned from court by now!
"Didn't Your Highness attend court?"
He wondered if Prince Chen was so focused on finding Lu Baichuan that he hadn't even attended court. He was really pushing himself too hard. If he didn't attend court, those people in the court would surely kick him while he was down!
"He hasn't been there for the past few days; His Highness has taken leave to rest at his residence."
The servant answered very seriously, and Qin Jian became even more anxious: "Is Your Highness ill?"
Did you get sick from searching for Lu Baichuan?
Waaah, their Prince Chen is so good, he treats his subordinates so well, he's willing to serve Prince Chen for life!
The servant shook his head: "No, the Crown Prince has been in charge of state affairs lately, and our Highness doesn't want to see him."
Qin Jian was immediately confused. Did this mean that Prince Chen was not sick?
Lu Baichuan's whereabouts are unknown, yet he can still sleep until noon. He's not worried at all!
He had just praised Prince Chen, but was immediately proven wrong.
That shouldn't be the case. Prince Chen has always valued Lu Baichuan. Lu Baichuan has been in trouble for so many days, how could he still be sleeping so well!
Could it be that they've given up because they can't find anything else?
Thinking this, he suddenly became anxious again, grabbing the servant's hand and saying, "Quickly go and wake His Highness up, tell him that Qin Jian has arrived! Even if you have Cheng Meng come to see me, that's fine too!"
The servant shook his head and said, "His Highness said he's had a rare good night's sleep lately and told me not to wake him. Also, Lord Cheng Meng has had a few days off and should be back at his residence by now."
Qin Jian: !!!
He felt that Prince Chen was a heartless man. He was so happy and pleased when Lu Baichuan worked hard for him, but when Lu Baichuan got into trouble and lost his usefulness, he immediately abandoned him, right?
But the Prince Chen he knew wasn't that kind of person!
"Why are none of them here? What did you call me here for? What does Lu Baichuan's life or death matter!"
Qin Jian was really angry. He pushed the servant aside and walked inside. He was determined to see Prince Chen today and get to the bottom of things!
Only then did the servant hear him mention Lu Baichuan in his words, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Lord Qin, Lord Lu is recuperating at his own residence! Madam Lu is taking care of him, and there is no danger to his life, so Your Highness can sleep peacefully."
"What? You're saying my brother's alright?"
The plot twists and turns so much that he's almost completely confused.
And, Mrs. Lu? That Mrs. Lu?
His sister-in-law is still behind him, isn't she? They won't arrive until the afternoon unless something unexpected happens. So who is this Mrs. Lu here?
Damn! Could it be that his brother hooked up with someone else while he was in Jinzhou? What about his sister-in-law then?
Qin Jian was so angry that he felt dizzy and almost lost his balance.
"Come on, let's go see what Lu Baichuan is up to!"
He turned and walked out, followed by his brothers from the Fire Cloud Division, who were equally angry. They had all benefited from He Jiuniang's kindness, not only receiving discounts on Lu Heiya's products but also frequently being able to freeload meals at the Lu family's house and enjoy novel delicacies. More importantly, He Jiuniang had helped them heal their old injuries that had not healed for many years. They all remembered this kindness.
They were all happy to know that Lu Baichuan was still alive, but if he hooked up with someone else behind He Jiuniang's back, then they wouldn't be so ruthless as to turn their backs on him!
And so, the group of people marched in a grand procession toward Lu Baichuan's residence. When they arrived at the door, without even knocking, Qin Jian kicked the door open, startling the gatekeeper.
"Sir, what are you doing?"
The gatekeeper recognized Qin Jian and Lou Chong. In his memory, they had a good relationship with their master. Why were they both so angry now?
He sensed something was wrong and was about to turn around and run to report, but Lou Chong grabbed him by the collar and said, "Enough nonsense, take us to see your master!"
Well, you've stopped calling him Third Master and started calling him your master...
