After seeing off Doctor Wei, Su Jinhua stood at the door of the pharmacy and glanced at Gu Yanan.

"Then let's go back too."

Gu Yanan nodded, and Banxia and Zhuying went to pack up the carriage.

Steward Wu was standing aside. He glanced inside the manor and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, Princess. I will take good care of Concubine Gao."

Su Jinhua sighed softly, "Thank you for your trouble. The environment in the manor has suddenly deteriorated a little, but it can help Sister Gao calm down and investigate the matter of the snake."

"Yes."

The carriage was prepared and brought over, and Gu Yanan and Su Jinhua got on first.

When Banxia was about to go in, Zhuying pulled her sleeve.

"what happened?"

"They have something to say, so we can just sit outside."

After hearing Zhuying's words, Banxia sat outside with her.

In the carriage, the two sat opposite each other, the atmosphere was warm and harmonious. Su Jinhua gently picked up the teacup, the tea fragrance was lingering, and her eyes were as gentle as a handful of autumn water.

"Gu Yanan, thank you for speaking for me." Her voice was soft, with a hint of sincere gratitude.

Gu Yanan looked at her, with a glimmer of surprise in his eyes. He smiled lightly and shook his head: "Why thank me? She did something evil and wanted to harm you, so I should help you."

His voice was low and magnetic, and every word seemed to carry an indescribable complexity.

Gu Yanan stretched out his hand, his fair, slender hand with distinct joints, and picked up a piece of cake.

It just so happened that Su Jinhua also wanted to get something, and their fingers touched, and the temperature between their fingers conveyed warmth to each other.

Su Jinhua was slightly stunned, and then felt a warm current coming from the palm of his hand and going straight to his heart.

She lowered her head and quickly withdrew her hand. For some reason, the temperature of her palm seemed to be higher than that of the teacup.

The atmosphere in the carriage became more subtle at this moment. The two people's eyes met.

It seemed as if time had stopped at this moment.

The aroma of tea, the fragrance of cakes, and the inexplicable warmth between the two people are intertwined together to form a beautiful picture.

"My husband can see right from wrong, Jinhua admires that very much."

Gu Yan'an looked at her momentary panic and felt a sense of pleasure in his heart.

"It's so obvious, and the trick is so crude that I don't even want to play along with her."

Su Jinhua smiled gently and took a sip of tea. In just a flash, she had dealt with the complicated emotions in her heart.

It was like a small stone hit the surface of a lake, causing only a few ripples.

Gu Yanan looked at her, and couldn't help but feel a little curious. He turned the cup and his eyes gently drifted towards Su Jinhua's face.

"But the way you talk about business, you sound like a seasoned businessman. Have you ever been in business before?"

After saying this, Gu Yan'an was stunned. He seemed to have never known how Su Jinhua was doing at home, and his specific background was vague and not very clear.

All I know is that it’s the home of a minor official.

"Before my biological mother was alive, she taught me how to read account books and often took me to stroll on the streets. It's funny to say that when I was a child, I really liked watching people sell things. It was very interesting."

Su Jinhua smiled gently, and this smile was so charming that all the flowers seemed to pale in comparison to her.

Gu Yanan was stunned and noticed that the biological mother she mentioned was still alive.

He pursed his lips: "Sorry for bringing up your sad story."

"It doesn't matter. The dead are gone and I have already let it go."

But her mother’s revenge has not yet been taken, and Rong will not be able to enjoy her freedom for many more days.

.........

The carriage slowly drove into the city. The sunlight shone through the clouds and onto the wide road. The golden light illuminated the entire street.

The crowd was bustling, and the noisy shouts reached their ears.

Gu Yan'an lifted the car curtain and looked outside.

The shops on both sides of the street are full of all kinds of items, and the cries of hawkers attract the attention of passers-by.

Occasionally a carriage or sedan chair would pass by in a hurry, raising clouds of dust, but this did not in the least dampen people's enthusiasm for visiting the market.

The air is filled with various smells: the aroma of freshly baked buns and the faint scent of flowers.

Gu Yanan recalled that he was weighed down with things when he came back, and he did not see the hustle and bustle in the capital.

Looking at such a lively street scene, Gu Yanan was eager to go down for a stroll.

But when he looked at his legs, he wavered for a few seconds, lowered the curtain and said, "Let's go back home."

"Husband, I just want to go shopping. We don't have much fabric at home. Why don't we go down and do some shopping?"

Su Jinhua looked over with a gentle gaze, and when he looked into those eyes, the shame in his heart suddenly dissipated a lot.

"Okay." For some unknown reason, Gu Yanan actually agreed.

Su Jinhua supported Gu Yanan, and Zhuying came in to help.

As soon as I got off the carriage, the fragrant aroma hit me in the face.

Su Jinhua pushed Gu Yanan forward. Both of them had great looks and naturally attracted a lot of attention as soon as they came out.

“It’s just that among those glances, there was amazement and envy, but most of them were looking down at Gu Yanan’s legs.

Gu Yanan pursed his lips and pulled up the blanket covering his legs.

"It doesn't matter what others think. What matters is our attitude towards them."

Su Jinhua's voice came from behind. She looked cool and calm. Once she opened her mouth, she was able to calm the panic in people's hearts.

Gu Yan'an nodded, thinking about how he used to be so free and easy in Kyoto, but now the only thing he had was a pair of paralyzed legs. He couldn't accept this mentality.

He didn't dare go out or look at people's eyes, let alone whether Su Jinhua would laugh at him.

Even he himself looked down on himself, and he chuckled after thinking about it. The next moment, he was half-sitting, as straight as a pine tree, wearing a green shirt, with his sleeves fluttering in the wind, as agile as a clear spring in the mountains.

His face was as handsome as a crown of jade, with sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and clear lip lines. Every contour looked like a jade carving carefully crafted by a craftsman.

He took out a folding fan from somewhere, and with a light wave of the fan in his hand, a landscape painting unfolded.

The mountains in the painting are undulating, surrounded by clouds and mist, and the streams are gurgling, with a profound artistic conception. He also wrote a poem on the painting, with elegant and freehand handwriting, full of poetry and beauty.

"How about this?" he asked with a raised eyebrow, his voice low and magnetic.

"Very good."

The two smiled at each other and continued walking forward. At this moment, Gu Yanan looked at the street scene seriously.

After I came back, I saw more shops on the street, especially those selling pastries.

Su Jinhua's gaze lingered for a moment at a shop selling sweets. The sweets there were very beautifully made, with lifelike and soft little rabbits.

It's as soft as egg custard and looks delicious.

She stood there for a while, and then a pair of hands reached out to her, with a few copper coins lying in the palms.

"Buy two."

"Got it."

The vendor packed it up quickly and nodded, saying, "Rabbit soup melts easily, so you two should eat it on the way."

"Thank you for reminding."

Gu Yanan handed one of the boxes to her and said with a smile, "Would you like to try it?"

"Thank you."
