Chapter 6

Zhan's Mother could no longer find the time to look for Gu Nanyan, she hurriedly went to check on her little grandson.

As soon as she arrived in the room, she saw a mess everywhere.

Rui Rui was acting like a madman, throwing things on the floor, and shards of porcelain were scattered all over.

The shattered items didn’t matter, the crucial part was that little Rui Rui wasn't wearing shoes, stepping barefoot on them, a scene of bloody red.

Without a doubt, Rui Rui's feet must be a gruesome sight.

Zhan's Mother's heart ached terribly, she carefully approached, “Rui Rui, it's grandma, would you like to come to grandma?”

“Bang!”

What answered Zhan's Mother was a loud noise, Rui Rui knocked over a chair. His small mouth was moving, but he couldn't make a sound.

His big eyes, as black as obsidian, were calm and indifferent.

He wasn't afraid of pain, refusing to communicate, repelling everyone who tried to approach, even grandma was not allowed.

Zhan's Mother's heart was about to shatter, she desperately wanted to take Rui Rui away, but the wariness and indifference in her grandson's eyes kept her at bay.

All she could do was squat down and soothe him over and over again, “Rui Rui, don’t be afraid, it's grandma, will you come to grandma, okay?”

What answered Zhan's Mother was the cold gaze from the little boy.

Zhan's Mother felt despair.

Just as she was feeling confused and helpless, a clear and indifferent voice came, “He said it's too noisy.”

What's too noisy?

Who said it's too noisy?

Zhan's Mother turned her head and saw Gu Nanyan in her white attire.

This was the first time Zhan's Mother saw Gu Nanyan's face clearly, it was completely different from the photos. The Gu Nanyan in the photos was simply beautiful, but the woman in front of her exuded an air of calm and control, as if she had everything under control.

As if, with her here, everything would be okay.

Zhan's Mother's restless and helpless emotions suddenly calmed down, then she quickly realized something was off. Strange, why did she trust Gu Nanyan so much?

She was just a third-rate celebrity who was universally criticized online.

Just as Zhan's Mother was about to scold her, she heard her daughter, Zhan Yiran, blabbering, “Did you hear that? Big sister-in-law said it's noisy, go go go, everyone get out, no talking, no making a sound.”

“Mom, and you, you must stay quiet too.” Zhan Yiran turned to look at Zhan's Mother.

Zhan's Mother: “......”

You rebellious girl!

Who are you telling to be quiet?

Zhan's Mother was angry, thinking her daughter was a traitor. Who was her real mother after all?

However, as the servants left and the room quieted down, little Rui Rui actually calmed down.

Zhan's Mother's eyes widened in surprise, she looked at Gu Nanyan in shock.

Gu Nanyan didn't pay any attention to Zhan's Mother, instead, she lowered her head and looked at Rui Rui seriously.

After a moment, she spoke lightly, “He says, he won't take his medicine.”

Zhan's Mother couldn't believe it, she kept glancing between Rui Rui and Gu Nanyan, surprised, “You can read lips?”

Gu Nanyan nodded, “Yes.”

After that, Gu Nanyan didn't pay any more attention to Zhan's Mother, she continued to look at Rui Rui.

Her expression was calm, not showing signs of distress or fear, just calmly and serenely looking at the little boy, earnestly asking for his opinion, “May I come over?”

The little boy was very handsome, his big eyes were black and shiny, but they were devoid of any emotion, like a wooden puppet.

He glanced at Gu Nanyan and moved his lips.

Gu Nanyan could tell from his silent words. The little boy couldn't make a sound, but Gu Nanyan could understand his lip-reading. She saw the little boy say, "Who are you?"

Gu Nanyan pointed to the man in the photo: "I am his wife, your aunt."

Rui Rui was very smart, quickly understood Gu Nanyan's identity, but he did not trust her.

Gu Nanyan took off her shoes, barefoot, without any hesitation, stepping on the messy floor.

"Sister-in-law!"

Zhan Yiran called out in a low voice.

Gu Nanyan put her index finger to her lips: "Hush."

Zhan's Mother was also greatly shocked.

Gu Nanyan took a step forward, a sharp piece of porcelain, deeply embedded in her foot.

"Rui Rui, if you don't like me approaching, just tell me to stop, and as long as you tell me to stop, I will stop."

After speaking, Gu Nanyan stepped forward barefoot, leaving behind a trail of bloody footprints.

At first, Rui Rui resisted Gu Nanyan, but seeing their same bloody footprints, he became curious, tilting his head to look at Gu Nanyan.

Rui Rui did not resist until Gu Nanyan walked to his side.

Gu Nanyan squatted next to Rui Rui, sincerely asking for his opinion: "May I hold you?"

Rui Rui didn't understand why Gu Nanyan wanted to hold him. There were many things he didn't understand, like why his grandmother was crying, why she was glaring.

However, Gu Nanyan smelled good. It wasn't the smell of perfume, but a faint, fresh scent of grass.

Rui Rui found this scent interesting, so he agreed to let Gu Nanyan hold him.

With Rui Rui's agreement, Gu Nanyan bent down to pick him up and put him on the bed behind her. Then she asked him, "Why did you smash things?"

Rui Rui moved his lips, no sound came out, but Gu Nanyan understood. He said, he didn't want to take medicine.

Turning her head, Gu Nanyan saw the scattered pills on the cabinet.

She immediately understood what had happened. Although Rui Rui had been discharged from the hospital, he had to take medicine. He had been on an IV drip in the hospital, so little Rui Rui hadn't resisted. Back home, the maids tried to feed Rui Rui medicine, he didn't want to take it and couldn't express it, leading to a misunderstanding.

Rui Rui could only express himself by shouting and smashing things.

In the Ancient Great Qi, there was no concept of autism. Gu Nanyan didn't understand either, but from her observation just now, she roughly understood.

She didn't ask Rui Rui why he didn't take the medicine, but picked up a pill, licked it with her tongue, and said, "Bitter."

Rui Rui repeated, "Bitter."

Gu Nanyan picked up a sugar-coated pill again, licked it, and said, "Sweet."

Rui Rui repeated, "Sweet."

Gu Nanyan put the pill to Rui Rui's mouth, but Rui Rui was very resistant and didn't want to eat it.

So, it wasn't because the medicine was bitter that he didn't want to eat it. He simply didn't want to eat it.

Well, if he doesn't want to eat, then he doesn't have to eat.

Gu Nanyan grabbed Rui Rui's little hand, and felt his pulse.

Gu Nanyan was skilled in medicine, she was the Princess of Zhenguo. She had to support the Great Qi outside and take care of her young imperial brother inside.

The imperial brother was young and frail, frequently falling ill in his early years. During that time, they, as siblings, faced internal and external threats. The royal family and powerful ministers were lurking, ready to pounce. Gu Nanyan, worried that someone might attempt to assassinate her brother, didn't fully trust the imperial medical institute. Thus, she took it upon herself to learn from medical books and to diagnose pulses.

Her medical skills were not excellent. After all, there were too many miscellaneous matters to attend to, and she had to prop up the whole of Great Qi. She had too much on her plate, and didn't have the time to devote herself entirely to the study of medicine. However, she was exceptional when it came to pediatric diseases and acupuncture.

The imperial brother disliked taking medicine, so she would use acupuncture and massage instead.

Thus, she was very familiar with Rui Rui's condition.

After taking his pulse and confirming his physical condition, Gu Nanyan pressed a few acupoints on Rui Rui's body and gently massaged him.

Rui Rui didn't understand what was happening. Why did he feel better when Auntie Gu massaged him? Why did his body feel lighter?

He wanted to express his confusion urgently, but didn't know how to ask, so he cried out in distress.

"Do you want to ask why you don't feel pain anymore?" Gu Nanyan asked.

Rui Rui didn't know how to nod in agreement, so he just looked at Gu Nanyan with a pair of bright eyes.

Gu Nanyan's heart softened at the sight of the little guy. He really reminded her of her imperial brother, just like when he was a child.

There was some moisture in Gu Nanyan's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

As the Princess of Zhenguo of Great Qi, she would never let her emotions overwhelm her. No matter the era, no matter the place, she could always live well.
