C16 I Accidentally Gave Him a Hand in the Other End of the Line

Gu Hong Yan gritted her teeth as she tried to mentally build herself up. She looked at the candied fruits on the plate a few more times, clenched her teeth and gulped down all the medicine in one breath.

It was only after she finished drinking that she realized that the medicine was actually sweet. Gu Hong Yan couldn't help but look at Gu Hong Yan with astonishment. With Gu Hong Yan's memories, she knew that only sleeping soundly could do that.

As expected, Gu Hongzhuang expected it, he nodded at her, "According to the painting, Miss doesn't like a bitter taste, so she decided to add some sweet supplementary medicine on her own."

He should also carefully savor the medicine, but Gu Hongzhuang was actually thankful for Su Suo's happiness in this body. If Su Suo Ruo was bitter or did not hate suffering, then he was afraid that he would have to drink a bowl of the medicine that would make the dregs fall.

Gu Hongzhuang couldn't help but express his gratitude towards Su Fusheng, "Mother knows?"

Gu Hongzhuang almost didn't need to think to know that Mother Su definitely knew. But right now, other than her own maidservants, no one else was around. After all, this was His Majesty's banquet, so Mother Su definitely wouldn't go.

In almost an instant, Gu Hongzhuang sank into self-pity. It wasn't because of anything else, but because Gu Hongzhuang originally didn't have much confidence in this kinship relationship. And now, when she was sick, no one came to visit, so naturally, Gu Hongzhuang was traumatized.

"Madam understands. Second Miss and Young Master are outside." As if looking at Gu Hongzhuang's wounded appearance, she was originally only prepared to say the first sentence, but due to some inexplicable emotion, she blurted out the second sentence.

Hearing that Su Muqing and Su Ruyuan were outside, Gu Hong Yan knew that her mother hadn't abandoned her and left. But why was she outside? She frowned, "Why didn't you invite Qi Er and Mu Qing in?"

"Young Master, in order to bring the medicine for you, your hand was burned. Even now, you should still be outside applying medicine." After listening to the words of 'such as a painting', Gu Hongzhuang felt that she had misunderstood something.

Gu Hong Yan raised her eyes to rest, "How's the wound? It won't leave a scar, will it?" Sleeplessness could be seen from the eyes to the nose and the heart, "No, as long as you handle it well, it will be complete in less than half a month."

However, Gu Hongzhuang was still frowning. It was likely that he would not be able to attend the banquet today, but if he did not go now, it would likely bring about some major consequences for the Su Clan.

Most importantly, if they did not attend this banquet, it was likely that they would have fewer chances to interact with the Rong Mantra. Therefore, if they did not make good use of this opportunity, the next time would be who knows when.

"I think it's better if I go to this banquet." Gu Hong Yan had just said those words when Su Muqing and Zhou Li walked in from the door. Looking at the cloth in her hand, Gu Hong Yan felt an inexplicable sense of guilt.

If he had listened to his mother yesterday and returned to his room earlier, perhaps this matter wouldn't have happened today and Su Muqing wouldn't have been injured because of this.

"Mu Qing, I'm sorry." Gu Hong Yan was speechless, because the Su family's atmosphere made Gu Hong Yan speechless. The Su family's atmosphere was too different from the atmosphere of the official families that Gu Hong Yan had come in contact with.

And this gap was one that Gu Hongzhuang had yet to adapt to. Many a times, Gu Hongzhuang had only used speculative thoughts towards the Su family, but she had always felt that many things were done for the sake of using them, but it was not the case.

This kind of feeling caused Gu Hongzhuang to be ashamed of her guess of the Su Clan. Gu Hongzhuang was actually trying to blend into the Su Clan, and this sort of atmosphere was something Gu Hongzhuang liked a lot. As for why Gu Hongzhuang couldn't, it was most likely due to her previous death.

It wasn't that Gu Hongzhuang didn't trust relationships, rather, Gu Hongzhuang had no doubts about it at all. It was just that some things were changing quietly, so the current Gu Hongzhuang had often thought that relationships were just a joke.

However, she couldn't completely disguise herself in front of the people from the Su Clan. Gu Hongzhuang's emotions were a bit complicated, but Su Muqing didn't think as much as she did. Su Muqing only looked at Gu Hongzhuang.

"There's nothing to be sorry about. It's just that I was careless and broke your medicine. If it wasn't for the painting, I would have said I was sorry." Su Muqing spoke with a bit of guilt.

Gu Hong Yan didn't really want to continue on this topic. She changed the topic and asked Su Muqing, "Where are your parents?"

Actually, this was also due to Gu Hongzhuang's doubts. After all, Su Muqing and Su Ruyuan had come to visit him while his parents hadn't appeared. Furthermore, the conversation between the two from the night before still echoed in Gu Hongzhuang's mind.

"Father and mother told me and second sister to come see you first. They said that they would be coming soon." Su Muqing frowned for a while before saying these words. In fact, even Su Muqing did not know what his mother and Su Yan were doing at this moment.

At this moment, Mother Su and Madam Su were in the study room talking about Gu Hong Yan, "Rong Er seems to have changed ever since she fell into the water. Do you think that she heard what we said yesterday and then became sick and didn't go to the banquet?"

Su Yan also suspected this, but Su Yan didn't say it out loud. He banged on the table and let out a loud bang sound. Su Yan's emotions were actually quite complicated. After all, everything had happened way too quickly with Su Yiran.

"I believe in Rong'er. If she really remembers, she would tell us. Madam, you don't have to worry too much. What if she was just leisurely looking at the stars and accidentally fell asleep?" Su Yan comforted her mother, but to a certain extent, Su Yan was also comforting her and telling her not to think too much into it.

Actually, Su Yan's mother didn't believe Su Yan's words, but she had to believe him no matter what. After all, other than this reason, she couldn't think of any other way to comfort herself.

"True. Then let's hurry up and prepare. Let's go take a look at Allure, then we'll head for His Majesty's banquet. It's been dragging on for a long time already, if this goes on, the emperor's probably going to get angry."

Su Yan's mother's words could be considered poking into Su Yan's heart. He nodded slightly and the two of them went to Gu Hong Yan's courtyard. As for Gu Hong Yan, she was the one who had just finished discussing her mother.

"Master, Madam, please come in." As he was busy cleaning up the medicinal herbs, he saw his mother coming and greeted her.

Once they entered the room, they saw Su Muqing, whose hands were covered in strips of cloth. Su Muqing was originally Su Yan's son, and she was even more precious. The bandages on her hands made Su Yan's heart ache even more.

"Ruo'er, are you alright?" Su Yan frowned and asked Gu Hongzhuang. He then looked at Su Muqing, "Qing Er, what's going on in your hands?"

Gu Hongzhuang smiled lightly at Su Yan's nervousness. "I've been fine since a long time ago, but the wound on Mu Qing's hand seems to be quite severe."

When Mother Su entered, she anxiously looked at Gu Hong Yan and didn't notice the wound on Su Muqing's hand at all. Moreover, Su Muqing was still hiding her hand behind her back, and only after she said those words did Mother Su realize that Su Muqing's hand was injured.

He walked in front of Su Muqing and held the cloth in Su Muqing's hand. He saw the scars all over the place. Even if it was just a water bubble, the skin and flesh had been removed. However, the wound still looked horrifying.

"Wumianzhe, is my daughter alright?" Su Yan's mother was flustered and wanted to confirm her answer. Su Yan initially thought that since Su Muqing was already old, it didn't matter if she was injured. However, the moment she saw Su Muqing's wound, Su Yan's heart still ached.

Looking at Su Muqing's wound which was still sleepless, he decided to take Cangzhu out to be his companion. After all, the effect of Cangzhu's treatment of the wound had moved Wan Zhenghao's heart. He retracted his gaze, "Of course it's fine. As long as you don't touch the water these days and apply the medicine on time, there won't be a problem."

As for his medical skills, everyone still trusted him, so they didn't say much. "Allure, how are you feeling now? Do you still have any strength left? "

In fact, in his heart, Su Yan was hoping that Gu Hongzhuang wouldn't be able to get up and go to the banquet. Su Yan's thoughts had actually come true, but Gu Hongzhuang wasn't sure if she would be able to do it.

Gu Hong Yan stood up after speaking and held onto the edge of the bed to try walking around. However, the instant she got off the bed, her legs went soft and she had a headache. She frowned as she forced herself back onto the bed, "I guess I can't exercise anymore."

Gu Hongzhuang's face was currently devoid of blood, and his lips were completely white. He looked like he really wanted to pity her, but everyone present was worried.

"Big Sis, don't get up. Take a good rest." Su Ruyuan blinked as she looked at Gu Hongzhuang, "Big sister, if there's anything you like, just let me know. I'll bring it back no matter who stops you."

Looking at Su Ruyuan's expression, Gu Hongzhuang once again let out a low laugh. Actually, Gu Hongzhuang could be considered to have already blended into this large family, but she still felt a bit uncomfortable.

"There's nothing to like about me. You have to perform well and bring back a few tributes from other countries." Gu Hong Yan teased him, but she didn't know that Su Ruyuan had really taken it seriously. She secretly swore that she would perform well at this banquet.
