Gu Qinlan had a good impression of this senior brother whom she met for the first time. She understood that Du Yusheng was so enthusiastic towards her because of their friendship.

She was not an ungrateful person, so she would not be cold to Du Yusheng, so she responded with a smile:

"I've heard that the dishes at Bafanglou are exquisite and expensive. Brother, do you have enough silver to treat us?"

Even though Gu Qinlan was joking, Du Yusheng was not angry at all. He knew very well that if Gu Qinlan did not regard him as her own, how could she make such a joke? This was not in line with their style.

Du Yusheng was in a good mood and couldn't help laughing. His clear and pleasant laughter, coupled with his gentle and handsome appearance, made him look like a gentleman walking out of an ancient painting.

"Junior sister, just relax and enjoy it. I usually live in the palace, and my expenses are very limited..."

At this point, Du Yusheng seemed to suddenly remember something. He slowly took out a piece of paper from his collar and handed it to Gu Qinlan.

Gu Qinlan took it subconsciously, her eyes fell on the handwriting on the paper, and she was stunned.

"Is this a title deed?"

Du Yusheng nodded gently and explained in a gentle tone:

"That day in Prince Duan's mansion, we agreed to give you this Xuanhu Hall as a dowry. Although it has been delayed for some time, I happen to be free today, so you can accept it."

Gu Qinlan looked at the house deed in her hand and couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

She originally thought that Du Yusheng was just supporting her in front of Princess Lao Duan and mentioned it casually, but she didn't expect that he actually fulfilled his promise.

Gu Qinlan opened her red lips slightly, instinctively wanting to refuse, but Du Yusheng seemed to have seen through her thoughts and said with a smile:

"Junior sister, please accept it. If the master finds out that you are getting married, I, as your senior brother, would be punished by him if I don't give him anything."

"Don't underestimate the master. Although he is old, once he gets angry, his energy is still as strong as before."

Gu Qinlan looked at Du Yusheng's helpless expression and couldn't help laughing. She asked curiously:

"Will the master really be willing to punish me?"

"How could I be reluctant? You don't know that when Master returned from the capital city after teaching you, the first thing he did was to hang me up and teach me a lesson..."

When Du Yusheng said this, a trace of emotion appeared on his face.

At that time, the master beat him and scolded him, saying that as a senior brother, his talent was not as good as that of his junior sister who was ten years younger than him...

It was that beating that aroused his rebellious psychology, making him work hard to surpass Gu Qinlan.

Looking back... the reason why he could achieve what he has today is really thanks to Gu Qinlan.

Having said that, Du Yusheng couldn't help but turn his gaze to Gu Qinlan.

Gu Qinlan seemed to be able to imagine the master's angry, arrogant and unreasonable look back then.

She chuckled softly, her eyebrows curved into crescent shapes, and a hint of pink appeared on her fair cheeks, making her look delicate and charming.

Du Yusheng's heart was slightly moved, and he couldn't help but sigh, the appearance of the junior sister is indeed as the master said, stunningly beautiful...

Gu Qinlan finally gave up and handed the house deed to Xiang Zhu, who was beside her, and asked her to keep it safely.

Xiang Zhu held the house deed in his hand and couldn't help but look at Du Yusheng a few more times. He secretly admired in his heart that Du Yusheng was indeed very handsome.

No wonder the women in the capital all said that if they were to marry, they would marry Du Yusheng. He was not only dignified and steady, but also had a handsome appearance like jade.

As for Zheng Dinglian... Although everyone in the world praises him as the contemporary god of war, since he is a god, how can he be easily touched by mortals?

Furthermore, it was rumored that Zheng Dinglian had a ferocious face, like Yama, and was nine feet tall. His roar could scare children to tears...

Xiang Zhu shuddered when he thought of this. He couldn't imagine what it would be like for his beautiful daughter to face that killer...

Gu Qinlan and Du Yusheng chatted casually. Although this was their second meeting, the two seemed to have known each other for a long time and had endless topics to talk about.

They are all doctors, and they were very interested and enjoyed talking about medical principles.

At a corner of the dining table, Zheng Huiyi was enjoying her food while quietly pricked up her ears to listen carefully to the conversation between the two people next to her. A trace of imperceptible worry slowly rose in her young mind.

The uncle in front of me has a handsome appearance, and his words and actions reveal a gentleness. Compared with my father... Although my father is also handsome, the gentleness in his words is not as good.

Her heart suddenly tightened and she thought worriedly: My father hasn't returned yet, is my mother going to be taken away by this uncle?

As soon as the thought came to her mind, Zheng Hui immediately pointed to the crispy meat a little further away, and said to Gu Qinlan in her tender and sweet voice:

"Mom, I want to eat the meat over there, can you help me pick some?"

Gu Qinlan looked at Zheng Huiyi with some surprise. This little girl... had never called her "mother" so intimately.

She never forced the children to call her mother. After all, compared with the formal mother, the name mother seemed more intimate. It was understandable that the children were reluctant to call her that. However, Zheng Huiyi's mother made Gu Qinlan's heart tremble slightly, and she could not help but lower her eyes and stare at Zheng Huiyi.

Zheng Huiyi blinked her clear eyes and asked innocently:

"Mother? What's wrong?"

Gu Qinlan shook her head slightly, smiled, picked up a piece of crispy meat and put it into Zheng Huiyi's bowl.

"Thank you, mother."

Zheng Huiyi thanked him sweetly, then took two bites of meat, turned to look at Du Yusheng curiously, and asked:

"Uncle, why don't you eat? Do you want mom to help you pick up some food? No, I can only pick up food for Yi'er and Dad."

Du Yusheng was not a stupid person. As the judge of the Imperial Hospital, he was surrounded by beauties in the harem every day. If he could not understand their hidden meanings, he would have lost his life long ago. This little girl was quite interesting. Although she was young, her words were full of wit.

He seemed to understand Zheng Huiyi's concerns. She was worried that he would take her mother away.

Du Yusheng smiled and teased Zheng Huiyi, saying softly:

"Why not? Your mother is also my junior sister, and we have known each other for much longer than you."

After hearing this, Zheng Huiyi's eyes widened even more, and alarm bells rang in her heart: See! As expected, he wants to compete with Yi'er for my mother!

She immediately stared at Du Yusheng nervously, as if she was facing a severe challenge. Du Yusheng smiled at her kindly, but this smile was full of provocation in Zheng Huiyi's eyes.

Zheng Huiyi immediately became nervous, as if facing a powerful enemy, and said in a firm tone:

"When lovers meet, their love is deep, but they only regret not meeting earlier! This is the case with my mother and me!"

Gu Qinlan felt amused and helpless when she heard her daughter reciting such a poem. She pinched her nose gently and said:

"Yier, you only know one side of the story. This poem is used to describe the relationship between lovers, not to be used indiscriminately like this."
