“He doesn’t cause any trouble, and he can stay in the Imperial Study with his father for a whole day.” Wen Nongnong was initially very sympathetic to her son, thinking that Gu Linchao was really too heartless. His son was so young, yet he was willing to do that.
After observing for two days and seeing that her son could sit quietly on his father's lap, she stopped interfering.
"This child has a very good character," Lu Yingying praised.
Si Lan and Su Qianqian nodded in agreement, "Indeed, I've never seen any other child as well-behaved as him."
After chatting for a while, Gu Yaoyao became restless, pointing her finger outside and making babbling noises.
"Yaoyao wants to go out and play." Si Lan could tell what she meant, so she had no choice but to stand up and pick her up.
“Perfect timing, let’s take a walk in the Imperial Garden,” Wen Nongnong suggested.
The four then moved to the Imperial Garden.
Just then, they ran into Guo Yuzhen carrying Gu Siyuan out for a walk. As soon as Gu Yaoyao saw her little brother, she immediately started babbling.
The two little ones had already gotten to know each other, and Gu Siyuan waved her little hand in greeting, "Princess..."
During this period, Gu Siyuan made rapid progress and can now call out to people. Although his pronunciation is not very standard, everyone can understand what he is saying.
Guo Yuzhen smiled and carried him forward.
As they got closer, Gu Siyuan immediately took Gu Yaoyao's little hand, and the two children began to chatter away.
Sure enough, kids need to play with other kids to have something to talk about.
The group of people couldn't help but laugh when they saw the two little ones.
Si Lan and the other two stayed until evening, having dinner in the palace before leaving.
Just then, Si finished his shift and took the three of them out with him.
Since Lu Yingying's home was not in Rongxiang, the group first took her back to the Lu residence before returning to Rongxiang.
The Si family's house is closer to the alley entrance, while the Su family's house is further inside.
So when they arrived at the Si family home, Si Lan got off the carriage first and then instructed her brother to take Su Qianqian back.
Su Qianqian wanted to politely decline, but Si Luo had already instructed the driver, "Let's go."
Seeing this, Su Qianqian had no choice but to crawl back into the carriage.
The Su family was not far from the Si family, and they arrived quickly.
As soon as the carriage came to a stop, before the driver could bring over a stool, Su Qianqian climbed out of the carriage and jumped off before she could even see clearly.
She felt it was too late today, and Si Luo had been working hard in the palace all day. Now that he was sending her back, she felt very bad. So she wanted to get out of the car quickly so that he could go back and rest as soon as possible.
However, it was too dark, and she was anxious. When she jumped off the carriage, she didn't notice a pebble on the ground. She accidentally stepped on it, twisted her ankle, and fell to the ground, gasping in pain.
"What's wrong?" Si Luo heard the noise and quickly went to check.
Su Qianqian was both embarrassed and in pain, but she still gritted her teeth and remained silent, only saying, "N-nothing." She tried to get up, but as soon as she moved, a piercing pain shot through her buttocks.
Seeing that she couldn't get up for a long time, Si Luo had no choice but to reach out and support her arm, trying to pull her up.
However, as soon as he pulled, she cried out in pain.
Si Luo's expression changed. "Does it hurt a lot?"
Su Qianqian originally wanted to endure it, but the piercing pain in her buttocks made her unable to bear it any longer. While rubbing it, she cried out with a miserable face, "I... I fell and hurt my buttocks..." As she spoke, large tears rolled down her cheeks, making her look disheveled and pitiful.
Si Luo paused. He shouldn't be laughing at this moment, after all, the other person had fallen and was in so much pain, but the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up, and then he bent down and picked her up.
Su Qianqian was still crying, feeling that she was really unlucky. Why did she have to fall on her butt?
Suddenly, his body was lifted into the air, and he froze completely.
Before they could react, Si Luo said to the coachman, "Go open the door."
The driver was clearly stunned, but when he met Si Luo's gaze, his expression hardened, and he hurriedly knocked on the door.
The doorman, who opened the door, was stunned to see his young mistress being carried in by a man under his arm.
Si Luo ignored him and carried Su Qianqian inside.
Su Qianqian had forgotten the pain.
Good heavens, she's not light at all! How did Si Luo manage to lift her up with just one hand?
She turned her head to look at the other person, but because of the angle, she couldn't see Si Luo's face at all.
She was in a daze when she suddenly heard the man ask in a low voice, "Where do you live?"
Su Qianqian subconsciously pointed in a direction.
Si Luo then grabbed her and walked in that direction.
Su Qianqian kept thinking about whether she had become lighter. She answered whatever Si Luo asked without taking it to heart.
She only snapped out of her daze when her personal maid, Xiao Cui, timidly spoke.
"Miss?"
Su Qianqian looked up and was somewhat surprised to see that she had already arrived in her own courtyard.
Si Luo asked, "Is this the room you're staying in?"
Su Qianqian nodded blankly, "Mm."
Before she could finish speaking, Si Luo picked her up and carried her into the house, then considerately placed her on the bed.
Su Qianqian blinked and blurted out, "Am I not heavy?"
After Si Luo put her down, he took two steps back. Hearing this, he glanced at her, said nothing, but raised his hand to move his left arm and then instructed, "You'd better lie on your side now, so you don't put pressure on the injury."
"Okay." Su Qianqian's attention was still on the image of him moving his left arm. She thought to herself that although he didn't answer, his actions had already said everything.
Her weight must have almost dislocated his shoulder.
Realizing this, she became somewhat listless and didn't even notice that Si Luo had left.
Xiao Cui brought over a glass of water. "Miss, would you like some water?"
"Okay," Su Qianqian replied, then took her hand and drank the water in the cup.
"Miss, who was that young man just now?" Xiao Cui suddenly asked, her eyes full of curiosity.
“He is…” Su Qianqian was about to answer, but then she stopped herself, thinking of something. “I don’t know either.”
"That can't be right, they already carried you in." Xiao Cui clearly didn't believe it.
Su Qianqian clutched her injured buttock and said with dissatisfaction, "Your young lady has hurt her butt, aren't you going to go and get a doctor for me?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Cui, forgetting all her curiosity, hurriedly ran out.
Before long, the doctor arrived, and Lord Su and his wife also rushed over.
"Qianqian, what happened? How did you hurt your buttocks like that?" Madam Su was heartbroken and quickly sat down by the bed.
"I didn't notice when I got off the carriage, I stepped on a pebble and slipped..." Su Qianqian buried her head in Madam Su's arms and said pitifully, "It hurts so much, it hurts so much..."
Her attention was focused on Si Luo just now, and she forgot about the pain. Now that her attention has been drawn back, that piercing pain has returned.
