Chapter 29 Great, it doesn't hurt anymore!
Realizing he had bumped into someone, the little guy lowered his head and apologized in a childish voice, "I'm sorry."
Gu Peiyan frowned as she looked at the unfamiliar child in front of her: "Whose child are you? Why are you here?"
The little guy was probably frightened by Gu Peiyan's serious expression, and he pouted, unable to speak.
Upon seeing this, Qian Rong immediately squatted down next to the little guy and patiently asked him, "Little guy, what's your name?"
"My name is Xiaohu."
Xiao Hu is holding a piece of jujube paste cake.
Because of his nervousness, he had kneaded the jujube paste cake into a terrible mess.
Qianrong easily recognized that it was Baoxing's handiwork.
Remembering what Butler Chen had mentioned yesterday about the new cook bringing a child, he immediately knew the little guy's identity: "You're Aunt Zhang's son, aren't you?"
Xiao Hu nodded emphatically, his eyes suddenly turning red: "I can't find my mother."
This courtyard was bigger than any he had ever seen before.
His mother was working, so he ran out to play by himself.
But he went too far and forgot how to get back.
Now we've run into a scary person.
Little Tiger pouted, looking like he was about to cry.
Qian Rong quickly covered his mouth with her hand, turned her head and discussed with Gu Peiyan, "Young Master, shall I take him back to the kitchen first?"
"Go."
Gu Peiyan nodded and then walked towards the bedroom.
My main concern was that if the steamed pork in my arms cooled down in a little while, it would taste bad.
Wei Dongning was in severe pain in the afternoon, but after drinking Xiaofu brown sugar water, she felt as if she had come back to life.
I drifted off to sleep again in a daze.
Xiao Fu, holding a plain-colored handkerchief, sat not far away, watching Wei Dongning embroider diligently.
Hearing the door open, Xiao Fu subconsciously looked up and met Gu Peiyan's gaze as she walked in: "Young Master."
"Hmm," Gu Peiyan handed the food box containing the steamed pork to Xiao Fu, "Take this and keep it warm. How is your young lady feeling today?"
"Miss has been listless all day, constantly sleeping and waking up."
Does she experience this every time she has her period?
"Yes, Miss has always been healthy, but she has a particularly difficult time during her period." Xiao Fu felt heartbroken whenever she saw Wei Dongning like this.
The young lady has always disliked herbal medicine and always says that she will just tough it out.
It's been delayed until now.
Gu Peiyan gave a soft "Mmm": "Okay, you go ahead. I'll go see her."
Gu Peiyan walked to the bedside and sat down, carefully examining Wei Dongning's sleeping face.
Without his usual quick wit, his pale face looked even more pitiful.
Even when he was asleep, he still held onto the storybook he had only flipped through halfway through.
It felt like there was a sleep bug in the book; she had only read two pages when the little bug bit her, and then she fell into a deep sleep.
Gu Peiyan carefully took the storybook from her hand and put it aside. Just as she was about to help her tidy up the blanket, she looked up and met her still dazed eyes.
"woke up?"
When did you get back?
Two voices rang out simultaneously.
Gu Peiyan tugged at the blanket for her: "I just got back. I saw a little child in the yard just now."
"Oh, is that Xiaohu from Aunt Zhang's family? The child looks quite pitiful."
She had originally intended to tell him about this yesterday, but she got so angry that she was only focused on arguing with him that she forgot everything else.
Gu Peiyan nodded, turned her back, coughed twice, and then turned back: "I won't object to your decision to stay."
After lying in bed all day, Wei Dongning's back ached.
After supporting himself on the bed with both hands to sit up, he looked at Gu Peiyan, who was sitting in a chair.
"There's a banquet at the Marquis of Anyang's residence tomorrow. Will you come with me?"
Gu Peiyan shook her head helplessly: "I won't go. There are a lot of official duties at the end of the year, and I'm afraid I won't be able to find the time."
"I thought so too. It's okay, I'll go with my mom then."
"Your body..."
"It's alright, I can manage. The invitations were sent to the manor a long time ago. If I don't go, it might have a bad influence on the Gu family."
"Thank you for your trouble. I bought some steamed pork from Tianxianglou. I'll have Xiaofu bring it to you whenever you want to eat it."
Wei Dongning sighed inwardly and poured out her grievances to Xiao Wu, who was watching the commotion: "I'm not just having a hard time, I'm just unlucky."
Therefore, Wei Dongning felt from the bottom of her heart that there were no benefits to marriage.
If she were still living in the Marquis's mansion as the third young lady, she could easily use her physical discomfort as an excuse to have her mother take Wei Qiu away on occasions like this.
Even if you're not feeling well after getting married, you still have to muster your energy to go out and maintain appearances.
Unfortunately, in this era of absolute imperial power, she could not resist the fate of having to marry.
Fortunately, the Gu family treated her fairly well, which was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
Xiao Wu chuckled and didn't respond to Wei Dongning's complaints. Instead, he kept her in suspense: "I have some good news for you."
"What? Your supreme god has agreed to let you take human form to keep me company?"
"Uh...no. But he agreed to let me send you painkillers, two pills every month."
The electronic figure extends two fingers, making it look more like it's making a peace sign.
Wei Dongning's mood improved considerably because of his enthusiastic demeanor.
Xiao Wu's happiness didn't last long before she became frustrated again: "But apart from painkillers, there's not much I can do to help you. I can't even get you sanitary napkins. I'm sorry, Ningbao, I shouldn't have made you suffer this pain."
For the first time, Xiao Wu seriously considered whether it had been too rash of him to say he wanted to bring Wei Dongning along.
Wei Dongning comforted me in as joking a tone as possible, "It's not your fault. I agreed to you bringing me here, didn't I? So it was all my choice. Don't secretly cry, okay? If you turn into a bunch of gibberish, you won't be able to stay with me anymore. But I still want to thank my little Wu baby. With the help of painkillers, I won't be in too much pain. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have the strength to attend that damn birthday banquet tomorrow."
"Don't worry, Ningbao! I will still go to the Supreme God to apply! You can trust me!"
Xiao Wu was sad for a short while, but then he was suddenly full of energy again, raising his fist and cheering himself up.
"it is good!"
Gu Peiyan waited for Wei Dongning's reply for a long time, only to find that she had started to stare blankly again.
He waved his hand in front of her eyes twice: "Are you alright? Is your stomach hurting again? Should I go find a doctor to take a look at you?"
Wei Dongning, whose conversation had been interrupted, was not happy and impatiently pushed away Gu Peiyan's waving hand: "No, stop waving it back and forth, it's making me dizzy."
Gu Peiyan showed a rare, blank expression.
Was he being rejected?
Wei Dongning belatedly realized that her attitude just now seemed a bit bad, but she was too embarrassed to apologize.
She stretched out her cold little hand from under the covers and tugged at Gu Peiyan's sleeve: "Didn't you just say you bought steamed pork with rice flour? I want to eat it now."
"Okay, take your hand back now, it's cold."
She finished the delicious steamed pork with rice flour with great satisfaction, and then, when no one was paying attention, swallowed the painkiller that Xiao Wu had stuffed into her hand.
Wei Dongning felt that she had finally regained some semblance of humanity.
So much so that she had the energy to speculate with Xiao Wu about what kind of excitement the birthday banquet would bring tomorrow.
Before going to sleep, she reflected on her attitude towards Gu Peiyan, and poked his shoulder with her fingertip, feeling very embarrassed, and whispered, "I'm sorry, I was a little harsh on you today."
After saying that, without waiting for Gu Peiyan to hear him or not, he covered his head and began to drift off to sleep.
