Bai Ruozhu prescribed medicine to Madam Meng, then chatted with her for quite a while before bidding farewell. However, she never mentioned Meng Jinse throughout, as she wanted to comfort Madam Meng, but suddenly bringing it up might upset her again.
Upon returning home, Bai Ruozhu had a good rest for three days, staying close with her parents and son, enjoying the peacefulness and warmth at home.
"Mom, when is dad coming back? I've been waiting for three days and another three days!" Little Dengdeng counted on his fingers. He can count now, but he's most fluent counting to three, so he always remembers it as three days passing many times over.
Bai Ruozhu rubbed her son's head and said, "Your dad is working at the Guest Palace, he'll be back in a few days; it's not far from us."
"If it's not far, why doesn't he come back to see me? Does he not like Dengdeng anymore?" The little guy asked with red eyes, looking extremely aggrieved.
