Gu Wenheng returned to the estate beneath the moonlight. Jin Qianqian had already coaxed their two children to sleep.
"I bumped into Prince Bai today." Gu Wenheng washed his hands in the basin of water brought over by a maid, then took a towel to dry them.
"Have you eaten then?" Jin Qianqian asked.
Gu Wenheng shook his head and grabbed a pastry from the table. "When I came in just now, I already had someone go to the kitchen to prepare food. But I have to eat some pastries first. I'm about to faint from hunger."
Jin Qianqian watched him quietly as he finished the pastry in his hand before asking curiously, "How come you didn't even get to eat while with Prince Bai?"
It shouldn't be. With the silver notes sent over the past two years, Bai Jinglie had only gained more, not less. He couldn't be that stingy.
"He probably wasn't in the mood for it right now. I taught him the method to make mirrors."
