Chapter 200 He is playing rogue
Gu Yichuan shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Cai, look over there."
He pointed to the rooftop not far away.
I saw a ghostly black shadow there, following Tian Peng's trail from the roof.
"Nan Kui just gave birth to a child. Even if he wants to die, he can't die here. Besides, why would such a person dirty Mr. Cai's hands?"
A cold light flashed in Gu Yichuan's eyes, "Tian Peng fled for fear of punishment and tried to force his way through the city gate, so he was shot and killed by the soldiers guarding the city."
The dark shadow was not going to kill him, but to chase him towards the city gate.
Cai Ling finally understood and couldn't help but admire his meticulous deployment.
"I was reckless, please don't blame me, Lord Zhou."
Gu Yichuan smiled and said, "Mr. Cai has helped my wife many times. I can't thank you enough, so how can I blame you?"
As he was speaking, he suddenly heard a baby crying.
Gu Yichuan's expression changed, and he hurriedly left Cai Ling and rushed over.
Cai Ling looked at his back. Seeing him busying around his wife and daughter today, he couldn't tell whether he was envious or relieved.
"Why are you crying again?"
Gu Yichuan took the child from the wet nurse.
The nurse shook her head and said, "Young lady fell asleep after feeding, and woke up again not long after. After waking up, she kept crying. I checked and it wasn't because she peed."
The baby in her arms cried loudly, his little face turned red, but he refused to stop.
Gu Yichuan smiled helplessly, "At first I thought you were a well-behaved kid, but I didn't expect you to be so noisy. Your mother just went to bed not long ago. What if you wake her up?"
He patted the baby through the swaddling clothes and coaxed her softly, "Don't be afraid, daddy is here. Go to sleep."
The child's crying gradually subsided and he slowly fell asleep again.
Gu Yichuan held her for a long time but couldn't bear to let her go. Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, he couldn't help but describe her delicate features with his eyes. Although the baby in his arms was just a tiny ball, the more he looked at her, the more he loved her and the more he pitied her.
He is a father now, hehe.
The joy spread into my heart and blossomed into a smile at the corners of my lips.
The wet nurse at the side wanted to persuade him to put the child down, but seeing that he had a silly smile on his face, she just smiled and shook her head without saying anything.
Gu Yichuan held the child for a long time before reluctantly putting her down. However, as soon as she touched the bed, the little baby pouted her mouth as if she was about to cry.
He quickly picked her up again.
He looked at the nurse helplessly and said, "Go to sleep. I'll watch over the child tonight. If she gets hungry, I'll send someone to call you."
The newborn baby couldn't sleep through the night and had to wake up several times to feed. The nurse was a little worried about him and said, "Let me take care of the young lady..."
Gu Yichuan was reluctant to give up, "No need, I can handle it."
Seeing this, the wet nurse let him do as he pleased.
I just think that the child likes it for a while, but if he is tormented by it a few times, he will probably lose his patience.
Unexpectedly, the baby woke up several times during the night. After Gu Yichuan asked someone to call her over to feed the child, he still personally coaxed the child to sleep without any impatience.
The wet nurse couldn't help but sigh, how many fathers in the world could do what he did?
The next day.
The first thing Shen Nankui did after waking up was to see his child.
Seeing Gu Yichuan coming in with the child, she was a little dumbfounded, "Why is it you? Where is the wet nurse?"
Gu Yichuan said: "I told her to go down and rest."
"So it was you who watched over the child all night?"
Gu Yichuan nodded.
Seeing his dark circles under his eyes, Shen Nankui felt helpless and amused. "The child has his own nanny to take care of him. You didn't go to the government office yesterday, so you have to go there early today to hand over the affairs. Why do you have to stay up all night?"
Gu Yichuan smiled and said, "It's not that I want to endure it, it's just that my daughter is too noisy. As soon as I put her down, she starts crying, so I have to hold her in my arms."
Shen Nankui let Hehua wash and dress her while she said, "You are spoiling her like this and harming others. Do people have to take turns holding her to sleep when you are not around?"
Gu Yichuan said angrily: "I have my own reasons."
"What's the point?"
Gu Yichuan coughed lightly and said, "I will take care of her myself. When the child grows up, she will be closer to me and will be able to help me persuade you."
Shen Nankui: “…”
After Hehua cleaned up everything for her, he brought her breakfast. Shen Nankui only ate two bites and then lost her appetite.
She put down her bowl and chopsticks, wiped her mouth, took the child from Gu Yichuan's arms, and chased him away.
"Since you have something to do, go first."
Gu Yichuan was a little dazed, "Madam, won't you let me have breakfast?"
Shen Nankui said: "There are not many left."
Gu Yichuan looked at the remaining ones on the table and said, "There are still a lot left. I'm not picky."
As he said this, he took the bowl and chopsticks used by Shen Nankui and started eating.
Shen Nankui was helpless and complained to the baby in her arms, "Look at your father, he is being a rogue!"
The baby was sleeping soundly and didn't react at all.
Shen Nankui looked at her and said lovingly, "My daughter sleeps so well, how could she be as noisy as you say?"
Gu Yichuan echoed, "Yes, our daughter is naturally good in every way."
He finished his meal without further delay.
She stood up and said, "I'm leaving now. You should take a good rest. If your daughter cries, ask the nurse to comfort her. You should take a good rest during the confinement period and don't overwork yourself."
"understood."
Shen Nankui responded indifferently, but his eyes were always on the child and he did not raise his head.
He Hua sent Gu Yichuan out and took a food box from the kitchen to him. "Young Master, are you not full? In fact, Madam knows that you have to be busy with official business today, so she asked me to prepare some food for you to take with you on the road."
Gu Yichuan took the food box, his eyes were soft, and he reminded: "Take good care of the lady."
"It's natural."
……
Gu Yichuan left in the morning and did not return until the evening. His originally gloomy expression immediately turned into a smile the moment he stepped into Shen Nankui's room.
"Nan Kui, I'm back."
The child was awake at this moment, and Shen Nankui was teasing her. Hearing this, she looked up at him.
"Is it going well?"
"It went smoothly. Governor Pang is not lazy at all. He has arranged the affairs of the state very well these days. It's just that the case is a bit urgent."
Shen Nankui asked: "Did you know something before you came to Yongzhou?"
Gu Yichuan nodded, "Yes, the two murders of imperial officials were too close to each other, and there were some problems with taxation in several places in Jiangnan, so His Majesty ordered me to investigate the case thoroughly."
"You and His Majesty...?"
Shen Nankui looked at him, and rather than confusion in his eyes, it seemed as if he had figured out everything.
Gu Yichuan was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Before Princess Yongjia forced me to give you medicine, His Majesty's people had already found me."
