Chapter 61: Rubbing the Head

General Bai Yi sighed. “Madam is right. This child must have had a hard time in the past.”

The Bai couple didn’t have their own children. After bringing Ye Siming to their residence, they had always treated him as their own flesh and blood.

However, Ye Siming had probably received cruel training in the past and was very guarded against people. Moreover, he liked to be alone and didn’t like to communicate.

Although he was young, his gaze was always dark. He didn’t say what he liked or hated either.

This made Bai Yi and his wife feel even more pity for him.

At this moment, Madam Bai frowned in confusion. “Eh? Husband, the sword they used to roast the bird seems to be the family heirloom you gave to Siming a while ago.”

“What?!” General Bai Yi glared.

When he took a closer look, he saw that the sword that was placed on the ground and had been used to skewer the sparrow was embedded with auspicious runes and rubies.

Wasn’t this the thing that Bai Yi had given Ye Siming a few days after he came to the Bai Manor?!

This treasured sword was a comrade that General Bai Yi had used to kill countless enemies with when he went to the battlefield for the first time!

He handed the sword to Ye Siming to pass it down as a form of legacy.

But now, Ye Siming was using it to roast a bird!

General Bai Yi’s heart ached. He raised his leg and said, “I’m going to go persuade them!”

......

Madam Bai couldn’t bear to break their tranquility and pulled her husband back.

“Alright, alright. Isn’t it just a sword? Since it has been given to Siming, it’s up to him how he uses it. Come with me to the kitchen to see if the food is ready!”

The two of them left.

At the same time, Gu Yihan and Noble Consort Qiao, who were originally in a terrible fix because of Gu Nuo’er’s disappearance, finally felt relieved after receiving the news from General Bai Yi.

Noble Consort Qiao still felt a lingering fear. She looked at Wanyin and Wanxuan, who were kneeling on the ground, and said sternly, “Nuo’er is only three years old, but she’s already playing you guys around. The two of you have to be more careful in the future!”

Wanyin and Wanxuan quickly lowered their heads and agreed, feeling mixed emotions.

Your Highness, who would have thought that the three-year-old child would pretend to be sick and escape?!

Gu Yihan put his hands behind his back, his handsome face was a little dark. “It’s fine as long as Baby Nuo is fine.”

The palace servants who were kneeling on the ground did not dare even dare to breathe loudly.

Everyone knew that in order to find the princess, the emperor had almost turned the palace over.

Gu Yihan picked up the piece of paper that Gu Nuo’er had left on the table before she left.

He pointed to the drawn elderly’s head and asked Noble Consort Qiao, “Who is this?”

Noble Consort Qiao looked at it for a while and said, “It should be Nanny Hu. Your consort wanted to summon her today to teach Nuo’er etiquette. She probably escaped because of this.”

Gu Yihan frowned. “Why? Does this Nanny Hu not treat her well?”

His Baby Nuo had never disliked anyone for no reason!

Noble Consort Qiao also found this strange. “When Nuo’er was two years old, she liked Nanny Hu very much and often pestered this nanny to tell stories. Therefore, when Nanny Hu reached the age to leave the palace this year, your consort couldn’t bear to let her go.”

Gu Yihan said, “When Baby Nuo comes back, we’ll ask her properly.”

“Burp~”

In Ye Siming’s courtyard in General Bai’s manor.

Gu Nuo’er had eaten her fill and was lying on Ye Siming’s bed. She rubbed her stomach and burped.

Ye Siming cleaned up the mess. When he returned, he saw a round white ball wrapped tightly around his blanket and lying on the bed, blowing bubbles for fun.

When Gu Nuo’er saw that Ye Siming had returned, she sat up and patted the spot on the bed beside her.

Ye Siming approached in confusion. “What do you want now?”

The child stood on the bed and reached out her small hand, trying her best to tiptoe to touch Ye Siming’s head.

“Elder Brother Siming, thank you for taking care of me!”
