Chapter 277: Back to the Xiangfu

lled all the way to the small bridge and languidly leaned against the railing, gazing blankly into the distance. It seemed that even the vast expanse of lotuses before her couldn't capture her attenti..."Go and prepare. This child can stay in my belly for as many days as it wants." Loulan caressed her stomach, feeling the little one inside protesting. But she knew this child was destined not to enter this world: "Child, just think of it as a debt your mother owes you. We have no fate in this life, let's be mother and son in the next."

"Yes!" Suo Xin retreated with tears in her eyes.

The Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Master, mistress, Second Miss is back!" Xiaocui dashed to the main courtyard.

"Is the songbird back" Xiao Zhan and his wife almost stood up at the same time, then walked out of the room together.

"Father, Mother!"

It had been a while since she had seen the two elders, and upon seeing them, Xiao Yuge couldn't help but burst into tears!

"Er! My Er!" Mrs. Xiao rushed forward, clutching Xiao Yuge tightly, her tears flowing like a burst dam, unable to be stopped at all.

After some pleasantries, Xiao Zhan said with pride, "Ge'er, today at court, I heard the King say that you were providing free medical treatment in Yanzhou and even saved two children on the brink of death. Now everyone in Yanzhou praises you as a divine doctor, and the emperor even said he wants to reward you."

"Ge'er, is it really true" Madam Xiao was also full of surprise.

They had never imagined that their neglected daughter since childhood would have such abilities, and they felt even more regret in their hearts.

"Father, Mother, my learning medicine was to treat illnesses, this isn't anything special." Xiao Yuge thought it was very ordinary, just doing her best to help them. Mentioning this, she also didn't forget to ask: "Father, is your backache all better now"

Xiao Zhan stood up, bent his waist, and twisted a bit, happily saying: "Ge'er, look, your father now can go out to carry big stones without any problem."

"It's good that Father is alright, but you should still pay attention to your rest in the future. Don't stay cooped up in the study all day. Get out and move around more. By the way, Mother, has your cough been bothering you lately"

"No, since I stopped taking the medicine, for over a month now, I haven't coughed once. It should be completely cured."

“Why don’t you let Ge'er have a look” Xiao Yu said, taking the madam’s hand and examining her mouth before smiling and nodding. “It seems like your illness is truly gone now. From now on, just pay attention to what you eat—avoid spicy or cold food, and it should not recur.”

"Song!"

Chu Tianqi, who was practicing swordplay in his courtyard, heard the servant say that Xiao Yuge had returned. He immediately dropped the long sword in his hand and ran over as if flying. It had been twenty days since he last saw Ge'er, so how could he not miss her dearly.

"Brother!"

Xiao Yu Ge stood up, her face softened with a gentle smile, but her eyes were as cold as ice: This man had killed her in the last life, and this life, he had also harmed her best friend. If it weren't for Lou Lan, she would have killed him without hesitation!

“Ge’er, you can stay here tonight. We’ve kept your courtyard just for you, not moving a single flower or blade of grass. Your father and I will go arrange the evening meal. You and Qi’er haven't seen each other in ages, have a good chat.” Xiao Madam softened her heart, knowing Chu Tianqi’s intentions, and she was very much in favor. If Ge’er wouldn’t be their daughter, then it would be great if she could be their daughter-in-law. So, of course, they would do everything to make that happen.

"Brother, I came here to..."

Before Xiao Yu Ge could finish her words, Chu Tian Qi pulled her into his embrace. This was the first time he had hugged her so openly and without reservation. At this moment, she was in his arms, and after all this longing and yearning, she finally found solace.

"Brother, you..." Xiao Yuge was a little dazed by his hug.

"Song'er, I miss you so much!" Chu Tianqi sniffed the unique fragrance on her body, unwilling to let go for a long time.

"Brother, you're hurting me." Xiao Yuge frowned and stepped out of his arms, walking out of the main courtyard: "Brother, let's go to my old courtyard." She had lived here for fifteen years, every flower and tree was familiar to her, so familiar that it made her want to cry.

"Second Miss! You're back!"

The servants in the manor were overjoyed to see her return, rushing forward one after another to pay their respects. After all, Xiao Yu Ge had always treated them well, and since she left, the manor had lacked a lot of joy.

"Xiaoting, Xiaocui, are you both doing well"

"Thank you, Second Miss, for remembering us. We're all doing well." The maids were so moved that their eyes welled up with tears.

Xiao Yu Ge stepped into Mingzhu Yuan. Inside, it was just as her mother had said, every flower and grass was exactly the same as when she left, everything was spotless, even the fallen leaves on the ground were few.

It's a pity, Xiao Yuge had no time to feel sorry for herself. She didn't forget her purpose in coming here. After pushing away the people around her, she calmly looked at Chu Tianqi: "Brother, Loulan is pregnant!"

"What" Chu Tianqi was stunned when he heard the news. For more than a month, he hadn't even dared to walk in the direction of Chunxiang Building for fear of running into Xu Loulan. But he never expected that she got pregnant just once.

"Is she sure the child is mine" He finally managed to squeeze those words out after half a day.

"What did you say You bastard!" Xiao Yuge was so angry that she slapped him hard, the crisp sound making it hurt just to hear. "You took Lan Ran's innocence and said such things!" She trembled with anger, if not for the fact that she couldn't kill him now, she would have sliced him across his collarbone with her saber.

This slap also stunned Chu Tianqi. Perhaps, he had never thought that Xiao Yuge would actually hit him!

Even the maid who was about to bring them tea was dumbfounded. After she came to her senses, she quickly went to report to the master and madam!

"I..." Chu Tianqi took half a day to recover, still defending himself: "She was in that kind of place, I thought she..." It's no wonder, in Chunxiang's kind of flamboyant brothel, every day was filled with drunken revelry and temptation. How many were truly innocent

"Why is Loulan inside there Don't you know" Xiao Yuge grabbed his collar, her eyes red with anger: "It's you! You killed her whole family, leaving her alone and helpless. That's why she ended up in that place!"

"Ge'er, how did you know" Chu Tianqi didn't expect that Ge'er would know about such a secret matter.

“If you want people to not know, unless you don't do it yourself! You made the mistake, why blame others You destroyed her family, her innocence, and now even the child is here. You still send people to kill her, brother, when did you become so cruel” Xiao Yuge practically roared.

"I, I didn't send anyone to kill her..." Chu Tianqi still wanted to argue.w him like this, the words of refusal reached her lips, but she swallowed them back, then nodded: "To be able to be friends with the Third Prince is my Xiao Yu Ge's honor.""No! It's me who is reaching...
