Chapter 1549: 1549 Qianru visits Yuchuan

Gongsun Qianru was very pleased with Shen Yun’s compliments, her lips curved into a shallow smile, making her look even more beautiful.

Shen Yun ordered the servants to put away the gifts she had brought and led her to the South Garden.

Along the way, through corridors, over artificial hills, the courtyard was filled with flowering and lush garden greenery and intricately carved jade railings.

Pavilions, towers, and lofty attics gleamed with splendor, everywhere demonstrating the grandeur of a wealthy family.

Compared to the Gongsun Mansion, the Xiao Mansion’s architecture was clearly more imposing.

"The Mansion is divided into the East, South, West, and North Gardens, as well as several other pavilions and attics. Your dad and I live in the East Garden, while Chuan’er lives in the South Garden," Shen Yun said warmly as she walked, "Qianru, since you’re here, why not stay a few days in the Mansion? The West Garden is serene, and next to the South Garden; how about I temporarily arrange for you to stay in the West Garden?"

Gongsun Qianru couldn’t ask for more, but as an unmarried young lady, it was improper for her to stay overnight, so she declined politely, "Thank you, Lady Xiao, for your kind offer, but staying before getting married might lead to gossip. It would be better for Qianru to return to the Gongsun Mansion after visiting Brother Chuan."

Shen Yun, fearing that she would find out Chuan’er was unwilling to marry her and that the marriage had been solely arranged by the Master and herself, merely made a polite offer without truly wanting her to stay at the moment; discovering the truth would be disastrous, "That’s fine too. After all, you’ll be getting married soon."

As they walked and admired the grandeur and magnificence of the Xiao Mansion’s courtyard, Gongsun Qianru felt it was comparable to the Imperial Palace, making her exceptionally pleased with the Xiao family’s estate.

In the midst of conversation, they arrived at the South Garden, where several maids stood neatly on both sides to greet them.

"Greetings to the Lady and Miss Gongsun!" the maids said uniformly as they bowed.

Gongsun Qianru’s smile bloomed like flowers on her face; such a display showed the Xiao family’s regard for her.

The two entered a side room, where a delicately potted plant of an unidentifiable variety sat on the windowsill; exquisite porcelain covered the table, and a large, eight-panel screen, intricately carved, stood in the room.

On the sturdy bed lay a young man, with a doctor over fifty checking his pulse.

Without question, that young man was Xiao Yuchuan.

Gongsun Qianru approached and saw the man on the bed with thick, neat eyebrows and slightly pursed thin lips; his eyelashes were curled and long. His handsome features, although not absolutely stunning, definitely made him a handsome man.

His complexion was very pale, probably due to not seeing sunlight for some days.

Seeing him lying in bed covered by a quilt, she surmised he must be quite tall.

She was very satisfied with his appearance.

"Doctor Li, how is Chuan’er’s injury?" Shen Yun asked with some urgency.

After carefully checking the pulse, Doctor Li replied, "Reporting to the Lady, the young Master is not in any critical condition; he should fully recover after resting for a few more days."

Gongsun Qianru saw that Xiao Yuchuan was breathing steadily, his face pale but not completely devoid of color, and she could tell he was not a sickly child. If he had been a dying ghost or someone near death, she would not have married him, "When will Brother Chuan wake up?"

Doctor Li answered, "Reporting to Miss Gongsun, he has already woken up once, but the medicine I’ve prescribed tends to make one sleepy, and he has just fallen asleep."

In fact, Xiao Yuchuan had not woken up even once. He was drugged according to the orders of the Xiao couple so he would remain unconscious; otherwise, he would have woken up earlier.

To prevent him from waking up and refusing to marry Gongsun Qianru, the Xiao couple had kept him sedated.

Shen Yun glanced at Xiao Yuchuan on the bed with heartfelt concern and said to Gongsun Qianru, "Ru’er, it’s rather unfortunate, but Chuan’er has fallen asleep again."
