135 We Can Go Back After We Cure Imperial Duke Zhan’s Wife
Gu Qingxue took a look at Rong Han before she left. Seeing that he was still sleeping soundly, she left the room with ease.
After she finished writing the prescription, Gu Qingxue told Rong Zhan and the nannies who were responsible for taking care of Rong Han how to brew the medicine, when to take it, whether to drink it before or after meals, and other details.
After finishing all these, Gu Qingxue wrote down all the things she needed to pay attention to and stuck them in Rong Han’s room before she finally felt at ease.
By the time she finished her work, it was already sunset. Seeing that Rong Han’s condition was stable, she made an appointment to come back the next day and hurried back to the Gu residence.
She sent the three children to the hot spring villa outside the city to play. It was considered that they should be back by now.
After not seeing them for two days, she could not suppress her longing for the three children. When she rushed home from the prince regent’s manor, she found the three children sitting side by side in front of the main gate, waiting for her.
Lan Wen also stood beside the three children and accompanied them. When she saw the three of them with their small faces red from the cold wind, her heart ached terribly. “Young Masters and Young Miss, the Eldest Miss might not return to the residence tonight. If you all wait here, what if you all freeze and damage your bodies?”
“Mother will return. We agreed to meet today.” As Dumby spoke, he wrapped the blanket around his body.
Gu Lin and Lingbao followed suit and continued to wait patiently for Gu Qingxue.
Seeing this, Gu Qingxue felt both touched and heartache. She quickly walked up to greet them, “Lil’ Lin, Dumby, Lingbao, I’m back.”
The three children raised their heads at the same time when they heard the familiar voices. They looked excitedly in Gu Qingxue’s direction and shouted happily, “Mother!”
Gu Qingxue squatted down and hugged the three children. She kissed each of their little faces, “Why are your bodies so cold? Come in with mother.”
The three children nodded obediently and entered the door together with Gu Qingxue’s hand.
Cui’er had started the charcoal fire early. When Gu Qingxue came back with the children, the room was as warm as spring, and the faint smell of brown sugar lingered in the air.
Cui’er waited until Gu Qingxue and the others sat down, then she immediately brought over a few bowls of brown sugar glutinous rice ball soup with a smile, “Miss, I know that the three of them don’t like ginger, so I cooked the glutinous rice ball soup with brown sugar to warm their bodies up.”
“You’re so thoughtful. Lan Wen, have a bowl too. You must be freezing after guarding outside for so long,” Gu Qingxue said with a smile.
Lan Wen replied with a smile, “Thank you for the reward, Miss Gu.”
Cui’er’s cooking skills were very good. Gu Qingxue felt her whole body warm up after drinking this bowl of sweet soup.
“Mother, are you done with your business?” Gu Lin asked Gu Qingxue curiously.
Their mother had told them that she was going to treat someone’s illness and it was inconvenient for her to bring them along. That was why she sent them to the villa to play.
“It’s alright for now. However, mother still needs to go out every day. We can go back after we cure the wife of the imperial duke,” Gu Qingxue said with a smile.
“That’s great. We can eat mother’s cooking when we get back. The cooks in the manor are also good at cooking, but I still like mother’s delicious cooking,” Lingbao said in a childish voice.
“Then tomorrow morning, mother will wake up early and make your favorite steamed dumplings for you, okay?” Gu Qingxue said dotingly.
It just so happened that she could make more. After breakfast, she would bring them to Rong Han. He would definitely like them, too.
“Wow, mother is so nice. Mother, we have also prepared a gift for you. Bend down and close your eyes,” Dumby said mysteriously.
