The process of applying the ointment was not easy, Su Zhiruan’s area behind her ears and her neck had all turned red.
Throughout the process, she could only feel the coolness of his fingertips and the refreshing moisture of the ointment.
Having smoothed out the deeper creases, he applied it very evenly and meticulously, taking care of every spot.
“Fu Huaichu,” Su Zhiruan looked up at the man who was applying the medicine to her, she made a suggestion, “Perhaps the ointment has been sufficiently applied.”
“I am worried you will feel discomfort without the medicine,” Fu Huaichu’s words sounded noble, but his actions starkly contrasted with what he had said.
Su Zhiruan saw his expression growing darker and accordingly she let her dress fall, seeing a look of confusion in Fu Huaichu’s eyes, she glared at him, “If you apply it any longer, I fear this friction might make things worse.”
Fu Huaichu casually withdrew his hand from beneath her dress, two fingers coated with ointment made from the finest herbs by the Imperial Physician, still wet, he washed his hands in the hot spring with a good-natured demeanor, “No worries, we have plenty of time ahead of us.”
After speaking, he secured the cap on the ointment and handed it to Su Zhiruan, “Ruanruan might need to use it again, so it might be better if I give it to you.”
“I do not want it,” Su Zhiruan could still feel the coolness deep inside, as well as the actions of Fu Huaichu just moments ago, she refused, “Your Highness, keep it for yourself.”
“Keeping it with you or with me makes no difference,” Fu Huaichu, holding her hand, walked back, “Why not leave it in the Eastern Palace? What do you think?”
…
The entire morning, the two of them spent like this.
It seemed that in just one night, their relationship had grown much closer.
Fu Huaichu was incredibly grateful that he seemed to have recognized Su Zhiruan’s true character.
But he loved her true character, compared to the always kind and enthusiastic Su Zhiruan he had known in Su Family Village, he felt that the real Su Zhiruan, who showed joy, anger, pettiness, and sometimes a rebellious side, was always herself.
As Su Zhiruan was about to leave, Fu Huaichu took the opportunity to arrange a few days later to go out with her and Zhezhi and Zheye to enjoy the plum blossoms. Mentioning these two children, Su Zhiruan quickly agreed. She could tell that in their hearts, Zhezhi and Zheye still very much hoped for a father’s presence, especially after being insulted as “bastards” and “children without a father” in their childhood, they had always hoped for their father to return sooner.
Now that they knew Fu Huaichu was their father, their fondness for him could be described as soaring. Regarding Fu Huaichu’s hope for the four of them to go out and enjoy the plum blossoms, she had no reason to refuse.
Seeing Su Zhiruan agree to the outing, Fu Huaichu was as delighted as a child.
He ordered the servants to prepare a carriage, accompanied Su Zhiruan onto it, and only left after bringing her to her family’s doorstep.
Su Zhiruan got off the carriage, and when the Protector saw it was her, he hurriedly opened the door, “Miss Su, you have returned!”
“How has everything been at home while I was away?” Su Zhiruan asked the Protector as she crossed the threshold.
The Protector bent over nodding and said, “Everything has been fine, Miss Su!”
Su Zhiruan nodded her head, then proceeded into the courtyard.
As she walked past the main hall, after bypassing the garden, she saw Zhezhi and Zheye, the two children.
Even though she was not at the mansion yesterday and this morning, the two children were very disciplined: Zhezhi hugged an abacus almost larger than herself counting money, and Zheye sat beside her polishing a treasure sword, both children appeared to be content, not disturbing each other but also diligently engaged in their tasks.
Zhezhi, unintentionally looking up, first saw Su Zhiruan standing nearby and looking over. She immediately dropped the abacus and, opening her little arms, happily ran towards Su Zhiruan, “Mommy! Mommy!”
Seeing his sister run over, Zheye also ran after her. He opened his arms, too, waiting for Su Zhiruan to hug him, his little eyes filled with undisguised anticipation, “Mom, you’re back.”
Su Zhiruan also opened her arms and embraced both children, “Mom’s back, what have you two been up to?”
Hearing this, Zhezhi and Zheye couldn’t wait to show Su Zhiruan their accomplishments.
Zhezhi had invented a completely new way of using the abacus that made calculations much simpler. Su Zhiruan only had to look twice to know that Zhezhi was a true genius. She thought for a moment, recalled the modern abacus, and then wrote some suggestions in Zhezhi’s notebook.
Meanwhile, Zheye had been polishing a sword, and he had thought of a complete new set of sword techniques. He wanted to keep it a secret for now, hoping to demonstrate it to Su Zhiruan later.
Su Zhiruan knew her two children were extraordinary. At just three and a half, both already had their own ideas and favorite activities. As their mother, all she could do right was guide and encourage them.
“Oh, Zhezhi and Zheye,” she suddenly remembered what Fu Huaichu had said that morning and crouched down to hug the children, “Your father mentioned there is a Plum Blossom Forest on the other side of the mountain. It’s delightful to admire the plum blossoms in winter. He invited the three of us to go, what do you think?”
“Daddy?” Zhezhi’s face immediately brightened, and she jumped excitedly, “Let’s go together!”
“Okay.” Zheye agreed too.
Su Zhiruan had guessed this would be their response. She smiled and patted their heads, “Alright, go back to your studies, mom is a bit tired and going to rest for a while.”
“Mom, are you very tired? I’ll have the butler bring a doctor,” Zhezhi, seeing that Su Zhiruan seemed to have weak legs, asked with concern. Her eyes, clear as crystal, displayed anxiety, “Mom, go and rest.”
“No need, no need. Go study with your brother.” Su Zhiruan felt slightly guilty knowing the real reasons behind her weakness and tiredness, “Mom will be fine after a sleep.”
Zhezhi and Zheye, seeing her speak so convincingly, nodded together.
Zheye hugged Su Zhiruan, “Get well soon, Mom.”
“Okay.” Su Zhiruan gave her adorable babies one last kiss, then turned and went back to rest.

A few days later.
The day for plum blossom viewing that Fu Huaichu had scheduled arrived as planned.
It was uncertain whether the weather gods were pleased, but as they left the house, fine snow particles scattered from the sky, quietly landing on the ground, covering the branches and falling on the hair of hurried passersby.
The weather was quite cold. Su Zhiruan wrapped the two children up tightly; from the outside, they looked like two adorable little rabbits. Holding one hand each, she felt a complete sense of achievement.
As soon as they stepped out of the main gate, Su Zhiruan saw Fu Huaichu’s carriage. He was dressed in a dark ink-blue large cloak, his long hair tied back gracefully, his appearance handsome and tall. His sleeves were already covered with snow, but he appeared indifferent to it.
