"A real man, how can you cry like this?"

After the Marquis yelled at Gu Huai, he rolled his eyes at him in annoyance.

This is what he hates most about Gu Huai. Just like a woman, he cries when he is moved.

He is a man like an eagle and has never cried for a woman.

What a shame!

Gu Huai raised his sleeves and wiped away his tears aggrievedly. His beautiful eyes were still red and tears were welling up in his eye sockets.

"Dad! Please! Please, I really can't leave Qianqian! If we can't resolve this conflict, she will definitely leave me!"

Lin Qianqian said quickly, "My Lord, the Queen Mother ordered me to enter the palace today, and I don't want to delay the time. Although I am reluctant to leave the prince, there is no other way."

"Please advise the prince."

She must leave the Marquis' Mansion today.

When she lived in the princess's mansion, she found out where to go to get a pass. Today was the perfect time to go and get it. Then she could leave directly from the palace and not have to stay in the capital.

Lin Qianqian raised her eyes and looked at the sky outside the door. If she went too late, the county office would be closed.

"I kowtow to you!" Gu Huai kowtowed to the Marquis.

Lin Qianqian was slightly surprised.

Tears streamed down his face. "Dad, please, please don't let Qianqian go so soon. We haven't reconciled yet. If we don't resolve this, this knot will always be here."

Seeing this, the Marquis breathed a sigh of relief.

He stretched out his hand to scratch his brow, observed the faces of the two people, and said seriously after a moment, "Gu Huai, get up."

"A man, for a woman, really."

"Yes, you two have just been reunited for a short time. I will explain this to the Queen Mother."

Lin Qianqian was shocked.

She was so surprised that she didn't even close her mouth. "My Lord, please don't do that! This is too much trouble for you, and the Queen Mother will be angry."

Gu Huai, who was standing beside him, kept bowing in gratitude, "Thank you, Dad! Thank you, Dad!"

The Marquis said to Lin Qianqian, "I understand what you just said. You are reluctant to leave the prince, right?"

Lin Qianqian pursed her lips, lowered her head, and covered her mouth tightly with her hands.

The Marquis smiled and said, "I can understand how you young people feel. When you are young, who doesn't want to be with the person you love all day long? Besides, you two do have a small conflict that needs to be resolved."

"Huai'er is right. If there are problems between men and women, they must be resolved as soon as possible. Otherwise, the longer it is delayed, the deeper the misunderstanding will be. I will go to the palace to report to the Queen Mother and let you stay in the Marquis' Mansion for two more days."

"But..." Lin Qianqian bit her lips tightly, her expression looking like she had eaten a fly.

The Marquis said kindly, "You two have each other in your hearts, you must talk it out."

"Okay, I'm leaving now. I'll report this to the Queen Mother."

After the Marquis finished speaking, he stood up and left.

Lin Qianqian was angry and resentful in her heart, but she couldn't show it on her face.

I could only bite my lower lip out of anger, biting off piece of dead skin after piece, and accidentally hurting my lip.

Gu Huai hugged her waist and said happily, "I know, Qianqian, you are reluctant to leave me. Well, my father has passed away, and now both of our wishes can be fulfilled."

Lin Qianqian rolled her eyes at him.

Why did you create a character who loves the prince in the first place?

Damn it! Can't refute it now.

Lin Qianqian held on to the last glimmer of hope and said, "Maybe the Queen Mother won't agree. She didn't finish listening to me telling her about Dream of the Red Chamber last time, and she asked me to continue."

Gu Huai's face immediately fell.

He looked at Lin Qianqian and said uncertainly, "My father is actually an old friend of the Queen Mother."

"It seems like they were childhood sweethearts."

Lin Qianqian blinked her eyes, and her long eyelashes fluttered like butterflies.

She added, "So?"

Gu Huai said, "So, the Queen Mother usually agrees to the requests made by my father. The Queen Mother was not in good health some time ago, so my father went to find Changbai Mountain ginseng for her."

Gu Huai said patiently, "Besides, this is not an excessive request. The Queen Mother will definitely agree to it."

"No! I'll go and explain this to the Queen Mother in person!" Lin Qianqian's eyes turned, and she nodded seriously and affirmatively to Gu Huai, "It's really wrong to trouble the Marquis with such a small matter!"

Lin Qianqian started to run out, but Gu Huai grabbed her and pulled her back. "My father has already gone, so you don't have to go! Besides, you don't have any status now, so how can you enter and leave the palace casually?"

Lin Qianqian forced an awkward smile and rubbed her palms together uncomfortably.

Is this not acceptable? Then what excuse does she have to leave the Marquis' Mansion today?

The longer she stayed, the more she felt she couldn't leave.

"Qianqian, your lips——"

Gu Huai suddenly pointed at Lin Qianqian's lips, "Your lips are bleeding."

He took out a handkerchief and wiped it off carefully for Lin Qianqian. "How did you do that? Your lips are suddenly bleeding."

"It's just a little blood." Lin Qianqian said nonchalantly.

Gu Huai suddenly remembered something, "Oh, I remember that you have your period around this time every month. Does your stomach hurt? I'll ask someone to prepare a bowl of brown sugar ginger water for you."

Lin Qianqian briefly calculated the days and said, "I didn't have my period today, so it doesn't hurt. It's okay to postpone it for a day or two."

Lin Qianqian started to think of excuses to leave the house again: Would it be useful for her to leave the house now?

She was staring at the crabapple blossoms outside the window, lost in thought.

Gu Huai looked at Lin Qianqian's thoughtful face and asked with concern, "Qianqian, what are you thinking about?"

Lin Qianqian pursed her lips, "I want to go out..."

"You are not allowed to go anywhere!" Gu Huai suddenly hugged Lin Qianqian, sat on the chair, and pressed her into his arms.

"How long have you been back in the mansion? Can't you stay with me longer? Now, I order you not to go anywhere. Just sit in my arms. It's just the two of us."

"You are too overbearing and rude!" Lin Qianqian glared at him. "Do you want to control where I go? Don't I have freedom anymore?"

Gu Huai lowered his head in shame, "Qianqian. Do you dislike me? Do you blame me?"

A large tear quickly slid down the boy's face.

He sniffed and said anxiously, "I don't know how to explain it to you. I'm happy to see you and I want to be close to you. I can't control myself."

"Is it because I made a mistake and you won't forgive me that you don't want to stay with me?"

"Hmph! So what!" Lin Qianqian got up from Gu Huai's arms and walked outside.

"You really haven't forgiven me!" Gu Huai burst into tears.

He quickly chased after her, grabbed Lin Qianqian, and hugged her from behind, "Then tell me, Qianqian, what should I do to make you forgive me!"
