Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 196 Return to the Palace

He tried hard to recall the woman who brought him here, but he couldn't see her true appearance because her face was covered. Even after bringing him here, she left him to fend for himself.

And now, where has she gone?

But before he could think about it, his attention was captured by the little guy in front of him.

He wrapped the baby girl in his own coat and held her carefully in his arms.

Maybe she was crying because she was hungry. When the man talked about his clothes, the baby girl subconsciously rushed over, but she didn't get anything to drink, and she couldn't help crying even harder.

"Don't cry, don't cry."

The man was busy coaxing his child, not caring about the pain in his body, and wanted to squeeze out some milk for her.

Just then, there was a flurry of hurried footsteps outside. He looked at the door cautiously and heard a familiar voice.

"Your Highness, the person should be here."

The princess groaned tiredly, calling the man's name, "Wangqiu, are you here?"

After hearing the princess' voice, Wang Qiu responded from inside the house, but her voice sounded weak as if she had just given birth.

"I am here……"

Although his voice was faint, the princess still heard it and quickened her pace towards the direction of the voice.

This is an uninhabited house. There are many fallen leaves piled in the yard and the house is covered with dust.

Wangqiu was sitting on the ground, with only some hay on it, holding a child in his arms.

"Wang Qiu!"

The princess walked towards him, shouting a little excitedly.

When Wang Qiu looked up, he saw the deep blue in her eyes. He thought that she must have been looking for him last night.

He held the child and gestured to her, "Look, this is our child."

The princess nodded, squatted down, and asked him with concern: "How do you feel now? Are you okay?"

"I'm okay."

He was lucky enough to give birth to a child alone last night, but when he held the child, he felt something was wrong.

Not long after the princess came in, the person who had been looking for Wangqiu with her also came in. This person was her confidant, named Qiyue.

The child was still crying. She had not had a single sip of milk since she was born, and her face was a little purple.

The ground was a mess, all covered with Wangqiu's blood.

The princess handed the child to Qiyue, then picked up Princess Wangqiu and said to her, "Put your arms around my neck."

She imagined countless possibilities last night, and fortunately Wangqiu was fine.

Qiyue held the child in her arms and asked her, "Your Highness, should we go back to where the young master lives?"

"No," she shook her head and made a bold decision, "Return to the palace."

"Return to the palace?"

Wangqiu and Qiyue cried out in surprise.

You know, in order to consolidate her own position and protect Wangqiu, the princess has been protecting him very well for the past five years and has not let anyone else find out.

But now, she actually wants to take the man and the child back with her?

"I've made up my mind and will discuss this matter with the Queen Mother. If she wants to punish me, I'll accept it. Wang Qiu has a child, and I can't leave him out there anymore."

The most important thing is that Wangqiu’s disappearance really scared her, and only by keeping him by her side could she better protect him.

July was silent for a moment, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Finally, they got on the carriage and set off on the journey back to the palace.

……

"Young Master, there's a woman named You outside looking for you."

"You? Let her in quickly."

Gu Qingyuan, who was having a rare rest at home, got up quickly after hearing the sound of Spring Equinox.

She only knew You Yu as the woman with the surname You. Could it be that she came to see her because of A Wang's matter?

You Yu walked in from outside and walked around for a while before seeing Gu Qingyuan.

"Why are you here? Is there something you want to talk to me about?" Gu Qingyuan asked curiously.

There was a hint of joy on You Yu's face, as if something good had happened.

"Yes, I came here to tell you that Ah Wang can stand up now! And he doesn't need my support."

"Really? That's great."

After hearing You Yu's words, Gu Qingyuan was truly happy for her.

After a while, You Yu hesitantly asked her, "By the way, you said before that if you could help me cure Ah Wang, you would let me work for you. I'm really short of money now. Do you still mean what you said?"

"Of course it counts."

For example, rebuilding the palace wall now requires a large number of manpower. You Yu is very strong and can endure hardships. He can do the work of three people.

You Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said embarrassedly, "Awang should be able to recover soon. The medicines Miss Ye prescribed are very effective. In fact, Awang was able to try to stand up on his own a few days ago."

That day, after she finished cooking, she returned to the room and saw Ah Wang sitting alone by the bed, telling her that he felt that he could move his body again. You Yu was so happy.

"That's good, congratulations."

You Yu didn’t have many friends, so the first thing he thought of was to share the good news with Gu Qingyuan.

Usually Gu Qingyuan always appears carefree and approachable, but when she sees so many servants serving the Gu family, she realizes that she and she are from two different worlds.

Any servant here eats and wears better than them.

The two stood for a while, and Gu Qingyuan asked Chunfen to bring a stool for You Yu to sit down.

"By the way, I have a job you can do. My mother has been busy repairing the palace wall since the New Year, and she's in need of manpower."

They were forced to rest tonight because they didn't have enough material.

You Yu thought of A Wang at home and felt conflicted.

Gu Qingyuan said again: "You can move in here, it will be more convenient to take care of him."

"Isn't this...not good?"

"There's nothing wrong with it, but if you're worried about him, I'll go find someone else."

"No, no, no, I'll think about it."

Gu Qingyuan helped her so much, and she was still thinking about how to repay her.

After much thought, You Yu agreed, but she was embarrassed to trouble the Gu family, so she said they would still live in the original place.

"Okay, I'll send a reliable person to look after Ah Wang then."

After sitting for a while, You Yu stood up to say goodbye, and Gu Qingyuan saw her to the door.

You Yu looked back at the huge house, his heart filled with envy.

When You Yu returned home, he saw A Wang actually walking from the bedside to the table.

"Awang, can you walk now?"

She didn't expect that during the time she was away, he actually moved closer to the table little by little.

"I'm a little thirsty, so I tried to walk a little."

Although he was able to stand up, he could only walk by dragging his legs forward bit by bit.

It was only a few steps from the bed to the table, but he felt like he was walking for a long time and even fell several times.
