Reborn as the Savior of a Short-lived Father and Son

Although there were slight changes in her plan, it didn't matter to her. As long as she brought the person back to her house, there would be no one that she, Ouyang Xia, could not coax.

Gu Qinghe was speechless for a while, and after holding it in for a long time, he said awkwardly: "Miss, you are right. It is indeed a blessing for my son to be favored by you. However, we came out this time to visit relatives, and now we have been delayed for a few days. How about this, Miss, let me, the groom, go back and tell the relatives, okay?"

She is a person who knows how to deal with things at the right time. Ouyang Xia is not a vicious person. All the men she supports in the mansion are well taken care of. Ouyang Xia gives them enough freedom. Those who want to go out to work can go out, and those who want to stay at home can also stay at home.

She didn't tie them up in the backyard and wait for them every day like the men did.

Correspondingly, since she already regarded Lan Yu as her own, she naturally would not make things too difficult for the two of them.

With a wave of his hand, he said generously: "Of course, if your relative is free, you can invite him to come to my house and have a seat."

Then she asked, "Where is your relative from? What's his name? I can ask one of my men to go there for you."

It seemed as if he had already treated Lan Yu as one of his own.

Gu Qinghe was a little hesitant, not knowing whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to bring Shao Wei out at this time.

Thinking that the girl didn't look difficult to talk to, she didn't take any risks and just said vaguely, "It's okay to do some small business in Chizhou to make a living. Just let the coachman run a trip."

Gu Qinghe pulled Lan Yu down from the carriage, and the secret guards drove the carriage away quickly.

Ouyang Xia reached out to Lan Yu, intending to ride a horse with her, but Lan Yu just glared at her angrily, and pulled at the corner of Gu Qinghe's clothes, saying that he was unwilling to go to her side no matter what.

"Don't be upset, girl. My child is timid. He must have been frightened these past two days. I will try to persuade him when we get back."

Taking his eyes away from Lan Yu, Ouyang Xia smiled and asked, "Can you ride a horse?"

"I am too old to ride a horse..."

After a moment, Gu Qinghe was trembling as he pulled the reins with a look of despair on his face.

In front, Lan Yu was held in Ouyang Xia's arms and screaming heart-wrenchingly.

"Bad woman! I don't want to ride with a bad woman! My brother, save me!"

Gu Qinghe: “…”

We finally reached the City Lord's Mansion, but it was already dark.

Ouyang Xia led the two of them in through the side door. As soon as they entered, they heard an extremely gentle voice, "Xia Xia."

Ouyang Xia's body stiffened. "It's so late, what are you doing here?"

Gu Qinghe realized that the moment she saw this man, she subconsciously hid Lan Yu behind her.

Maybe it’s not quite accurate to say that she’s hiding. Looking at her body movements, it seems more like she’s protecting.

So Gu Qinghe looked at the man calmly.

She was dressed in white, looked rather thin, with waist-length black hair draped over her shoulders, and the emotions in her eyes were unclear.

He was a bit too pretty in appearance, and looked no different from a woman.

But there was just the right amount of heroic spirit between his brows, which suppressed all the beauty.

Gu Qinghe wondered in his heart, was this also collected by Ouyang Xia from outside?

The man did not answer Ouyang Xia's question, nor did he care about Gu Qinghe's speculation. His phoenix eyes fell on Lan Yu, and dark emotions surged out of his eyes, "You can even be interested in this kind of thing now?"

"What does it have to do with you?" Ouyang Xia rolled his eyes. "Anyway, no one would be interested in you. It's late at night, please go back, Mr. Qin, or else rumors about you and me will spread in this city, and you can blame me again."

Okay, Gu Qinghe basically understood that there should be some grudge between the two, but that was just from an observer’s perspective.

This Mr. Qin must be in a state of saying one thing and thinking another, saying no but actually wanting it very much in his heart. He despises Ouyang Xia's "shameless" behavior which he thinks is "unethical", but he can't help but pay attention to her affairs.

No wonder Ouyang Xia remained indifferent despite his handsome appearance. After all, no one would like a person who goes against them every day and scolds and despises them as soon as they meet.

Qin Che didn't care about Ouyang Xia's weird attitude at all. He just looked at Lan Yu with disdain, "Where did you pick up this beggar? You don't mind his dirtiness."

"If it's dirty, just wash it. It's better than having a black heart like you that can't be cleaned at all." Ouyang Xia lost his patience and pulled Lan Yu over to pat his chest. "See, chest muscles?"

He touched his abdomen again, "Wow, at least six."

She herself didn't seem to have expected this, and looked at Lan Yu in shock, "I didn't realize that you, a little idiot, exercise on weekdays."

Qin Che’s handsome face was dark.

Lan Yu had never experienced such a scene before. Several emotions mixed on his face. First he was shocked, then he was ashamed and angry, then he felt aggrieved, and there was also a little shyness in it. He looked at Gu Qinghe eagerly, hoping that she could save him from the clutches of the bad woman.

Gu Qinghe tried his best to make himself disappear into the air, watching Lan Yu with his eyes and his nose and his heart as if he couldn't see that Lan Yu was being taken advantage of.

The third prince seemed easy to appease. At a time like this, as long as it was not a life-threatening issue, it was all a trivial matter. After all, Gu Qinghe did not understand Ouyang Xia's temper, so he decided to wait for Shao Wei to arrive first.

Gu Qinghe felt like a little fox who was relying on the power of another and was eagerly waiting for his backer.

"Come here," Ouyang Xia called two servants and pushed Lan Yu in front of them, "Take him to wash and change into clean clothes."

Seeing this, Gu Qinghe hurried forward and said, "I'll go too. I'll go too."

Afraid that Ouyang Xia would become suspicious, she said awkwardly, "My child is timid. I just found him back now. He must still be scared. I'll wait outside. Just let him know I'm here."

Ouyang Xia was also spoiled by her parents, and could understand the mentality of a mother loving her child, so she waved her hand with a relaxed expression, "Go."

The servant led the two to the innermost wing. On the way, Gu Qinghe comforted Lan Yu in a low voice, "Don't be afraid. Go take a shower, change your clothes, and wait for the emperor to pick you up."

When Lan Yu was in Yun State, she never wore the same clothes every day, there was always incense in her room, and she had to have rose petals when she took a bath.

But it has not been washed for several days, and the stinky smell is disgusting to him, not to mention his royal brother.

So when taking a bath, Lan Yu didn't mind at all that there were no rose petals in the bathtub, no fragrant incense in the room, and that the clothes the servants changed for him were not as comfortable as his own clothes.

Gu Qinghe was very pleased about this. Although the Third Prince of Yun State had some intellectual problems, he obviously had a good temper and personality. He was also very obedient and only needed to be coaxed a little.
