"Yes, you are right. Nothing can be said outside the Marquis's mansion."

The eldest princess nodded and quickly sent someone to help Gu Yanan return home.

"No need, just let him come." Gu Yan'an looked at Liu Dashan and said.

Su Jinhua walked to the eldest princess and said softly, "Then mother, please go ahead and wait in the banquet hall for a while. Your daughter-in-law and husband will be there soon."

"it is good."

For some reason, the eldest princess didn't dare to look back at her son, as if that glance would be something she would never forget.

The eldest princess's footsteps echoed in the corridor. As her steps progressed, an indescribable sense of tension filled the air, and her departing figure seemed unusually heavy.

Yucui's eyes revealed deep worry, but she tried to remain calm and helped the eldest princess leave quickly.

Gu Yanan stood there, watching his mother's back disappear at the end of the corridor, with no expression on his face.

Su Jinhua glanced at Zhuying, who immediately understood and turned away.

Su Jinhua stood at the gate of the yard, looking at Liu Dashan with complicated eyes as he slowly walked into the Marquis' Mansion carrying Gu Yanan on his back.

The two deputy generals at the door should have left, but were kept by Su Jinhua. She ordered her servants to arrange for them to rest in the side rooms and prepare meals for them.

Liu Dashan's figure appeared tall and solid in the sunlight. He walked with Gu Yanan on his back in steady and powerful steps, but from his footsteps, Su Jinhua could still see that he was injured.

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Liu. I will have someone prepare some medicinal food and send it to Brother Liu and the two deputy generals to replenish their bodies."

Liu Dashan paused and chuckled, "Thank you Miss Su. We are so lucky to have such a high-end medicinal food after such a long journey. As for carrying someone, it's not a big deal. It's not hard work. At most, I can ask the prince to carry me once after he gets better."

Su Jinhua chuckled and shook his head, and the gloom on Gu Yanan's face also dissipated a little.

The two laughed together, and then fell into a strange silence.

After walking a few steps, Su Jinhua raised his eyes, walked to Liu Dashan's side, and looked at Gu Yanan.

"Husband."

"Ah."

Gu Yan'an didn't know how to react and his body stiffened.

"Stop here for a minute, Brother Liu."

Liu Dashan stopped and looked at Su Jinhua with some doubts.

"Wait a moment."

In less than a cup of tea, Zhuying came over pushing a wooden wheel with a velvet carpet on it.

"I asked a carpenter to make this a few days ago. I also tried it myself. It is finely crafted and not uncomfortable to sit in. It will also be much more convenient when I go to the doctor in the future."

Gu Yan'an was stunned. He didn't expect that she prepared so carefully.

"Miss Su is really thoughtful."

Liu Dashan glanced at Gu Yanan, got his nod, and then put him into the wooden wheel.

After being covered with a blanket, he looked more like a noble young man who had been bedridden for a long time.

"Let me push it, Brother Liu, just follow me and go to the main hall together."

"I don't need that. You are all family members together. It's not good for me to stay there. I will just go find those two brothers."

Su Jinhua thought so too. The situation that followed was a little out of control. The princess was bound to lose her composure, which would be embarrassing for outsiders.

So he nodded and said, "That's fine. I'll have someone prepare a banquet later. Brother Liu, please eat as much as you want. Don't be polite."

"Of course." Liu Dashan bowed and smiled, patted Gu Yan'an on the shoulder, and left with the servant who led the way.

Only Su Jinhua's servants and Gu Yanan were left in the courtyard.

In the courtyard, the snowflakes have not completely melted yet, and the remaining white snow is sparkling with crystal light in the winter sun.

The New Year's lanterns were hung high, and the red lanterns formed a sharp contrast with the white snow, adding a festive atmosphere. These lanterns were specially ordered to be preserved by the eldest princess.

It is said that if Gu Yan'an can come back in time for the New Year, he can feel the New Year atmosphere in the Marquis' Mansion, so that he will not be left behind during the New Year.

Not a single word mentions missing you, yet everything is filled with missing you.

Su Jinhua spoke to him softly about the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion without mentioning his legs.

Gu Yan listened quietly without interrupting Su Jinhua's words. He didn't feel it was noisy. Instead, he felt much calmer as he listened.

This was the first time since their wedding night that they had walked together in the mansion, and they were so harmonious.

"The Marquis' Mansion has changed a lot."

"Yes."

"And it's all thanks to you."

"This is what I should do."

Gu Yan paused and did not continue speaking, but remained silent for a while.

"I'm afraid my leg can't be healed."

"So what."

Gu Yan'an was stunned and resisted the urge to look at Su Jinhua's expression.

Only the gloomy expression on his face disappeared for a moment.

"From now on, you will be a useless person."

Su Jinhua smiled gently, her smile always carried the feeling of the warm sunshine in early winter, slightly cool but not cold.

"I believe that as long as we persist in treatment, we will eventually overcome the difficulties."

Man can conquer nature. These four words lingered in Gu Yan'an's mind.

After turning it over in his mind a thousand times, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The two of them went to the main hall together, but the atmosphere was different. If Gu Yanan had been worried and sad in his heart, a lot of them were now gone.

……

When they arrived at the main hall, the three concubines had already arrived and were standing there waiting. Except for Shen Jingshu, the other two were staring at the door.

A moment later, Su Jinhua pushed Gu Yanan in, and everyone in the main hall looked different.

Most were still shocked.

The eldest princess stood up suddenly, her eyes went dark, but fortunately Yucui supported her.

"Yan, Yan'an."

Su Jinhua pushed Gu Yanan forward, then lowered his head and stepped aside silently.

"You, your leg...what happened..."

"Mother, I am an unfilial son. I was injured on the battlefield and my legs are a little injured. I am sorry to have caused you worry."

The eldest princess shed two lines of tears, and her expression became even sadder when she thought of something.

"Look at you, I've long advised you not to go to the battlefield. Swords have no eyes. This time you got hurt in the leg, what about next time?!"

This was the first time that the eldest princess lost her composure like this. The entire main hall was silent for a moment, with only the eldest princess's questioning.

Yucui walked up to Shen Jingshu and the others and whispered something. After a moment, Shen Jingshu bowed to Su Jinhua and left.

Since Shen Jingshu had left, Gao Jinyu and Ji Fang naturally couldn't stay here, so they could only leave with reluctance on their faces.

But when they left, they looked at Shen Jingshu with hatred in their eyes.

After everyone had left, only the eldest princess Gu Yanan and Su Jinhua were left. Yucui tactfully went to the door to guard it and closed it.

"Mother, I was too weak to fight and was defeated by the enemy. Don't blame others. It was all my fault."

Gu Yanan calmed the eldest princess down and glanced at Su Jinhua.

Su Jinhua stepped forward and helped the eldest princess sit down. If she suddenly fell down while standing, the consequences would be disastrous.

The eldest princess wiped her tears and looked at Gu Yanan, feeling a pang of pain in her heart again.
