Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting returned to Changliu Lane.
It was getting late. When Cheng Sang woke up early and realized that Su Xiaoxiao was not around, she would most likely head to Changliu Lane.
As expected, as soon as the two of them entered the courtyard, they saw Cheng Sang looking for Su Xiaoxiao anxiously in every room.
Mei Ji accompanied her and said from time to time, “Eh? She was here just now. Perhaps she went out to buy something?”
Su Xiaoxiao stepped into the courtyard and called out with a smile, “Mother.”
Mei Ji and Cheng Sang turned around at the same time.
Mei Ji relaxed.
Cheng Sang’s eyes were still filled with worry and anxiety. She walked towards Su Xiaoxiao. “Weiwei, where did you go?”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and handed the rice cakes in her hand to her. “We went out to buy rice cakes.”
Cheng Sang looked at the rice cakes and then at Wei Ting, who was behind Su Xiaoxiao. He pulled Su Xiaoxiao aside and asked mysteriously, “Is he my son-in-law? Why is he so different?”
Cheng Sang had seen Wei Ting disguised as a coachman.
He had been drenched in the rain last night and the disguise on his face had already been washed off.
However, it was obvious that Cheng Sang still recognized him.
Su Xiaoxiao held back her laughter and said, “That’s called disguise. His face is too good-looking. I don’t want others to see it.”
Cheng Sang looked enlightened. “Oh.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Mother, are you satisfied with him being your son-in-law?
Cheng Sang sized Wei Ting up. “Oh, not bad.”
She waved at Wei Ting. “Come here.”
Cheng Sang pulled Wei Ting into a conversation between mother and son-in-law.
Su Xiaoxiao went to the backyard to look for the three little ones.
She only saw Dahu and Erhu squatting on the grass and fiddling with building blocks. When she asked, she found out that Xiaohu and Dahu had fought again.
The matter had to start with the three brothers snatching the swing.
The three brothers had agreed that whoever snatched it first would play with the swing first.
Dahu ran the fastest and was the first to sit on the swing. Then, Xiaohu was unhappy and stopped playing.
Dahu played for a while before giving him the swing and going to the grass to build blocks.
Then, Xiaohu came over and slapped the back of his head.
How could Dahu tolerate this? He immediately beat up his stinky brother.
Xiaohu covered his butt and limped into Wei Xu’s room.
At this moment, he was pouting and sulking under Wei Xu’s blanket.
“Xiaohu. ”
Su Xiaoxiao called out.
Hearing his mother’s voice, Xiaohu instantly pulled his head out of the blanket and ran over to hug Su Xiaoxiao’s thigh.
“Mother, Xiaohu misses you.”
Su Xiaoxiao rubbed his head in amusement. “Why aren’t you playing with your brothers?”
Xiaohu snorted. “I’m not playing with Dahu!” Dahu set up the building blocks. “I’m not playing with you either.” Erhu was in a dilemma between the two brothers.
Su Xiaoxiao took out rice cakes and gave them a piece each.
The three of them sat obediently on the steps and ate bite by bite.
Xiaohu suddenly held out his rice cake and handed it to Dahu. “Dahu, do you want to try mine?”
See? He was the one who broke the ice?
After eating Xiaohu’s rice cake, Dahu was a good brother again.
Cheng Sang went to look for Wei Xiyue to flip the flower rope.
Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting went to Wei Qing’s side. Wei Liulang was also there.
Wei Liulang had just returned from the mine. He had gone to look for Fu Su. Fu Su told Wei Liulang that the Saintess had gone to the mine and entered the abandoned mine.
As for whether she saw the person in the mine, he did not see it with his own
A day later, Emissary Lu, who was beside the Saintess, also came to the mine to visit her father, Steward Lu, and his stepfather, Steward Xue.
“There’s a situation,” Wei Liulang analyzed. “According to Fu Su, Emissary Lu doesn’t go to the mine often. The last time she went back was three months ago, on Manager Xue’s birthday.”
Su Xiaoxiao guessed, “Could it be that the Saintess saw the person in the mine and was suspicious, so she sent Emissary Lu to ask about that person’s background?”
Wei Qing said, “Most likely.”
This was expected and a step in the plan.
Back then, Su Xiaoxiao deliberately mentioned that there was someone in the mine in front of Cheng Lian because she wanted to lure the Saintess there.
Su Xiaoxiao said suspiciously, “She moved faster than we thought. She doesn’t seem to be someone who’s so impatient.”
Wei Qing glanced at Wei Ting, who had been silent since he entered. “Dad caused a scene in the Southern Wilderness palace and most likely leaked the truth again, causing the Southern Wilderness King to blame the Saintess. The trust between the Saintess and the Southern Wilderness King is already strained.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Will the Saintess use this card?”
Wei Qing said, “It’s hard to say for the time being. After we came to the Southern Wilderness, we ruined many of her plans. The situation of the Cheng family and the Saintess Temple is gradually exceeding her control. In her opinion, now is not the best time to break off relations with the King of the Southern Wilderness.”
Wei Liulang sneered and said, “Actually, in my opinion, this is the best time. Otherwise, she will only lose more and more in the future. She thinks she can make a comeback, but she won’t have a chance!”
They would not give her a chance!
Su Xiaoxiao said, “But she doesn’t think so. She thinks she can take back the
Cheng family and the Holy Maiden Temple.”
Wei Qing nodded. “Actually, the longer we delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for her and us.”
Some things could be planned before taking action, but some things had to be done quickly.
Their current actions only affected the Saintess. The Saintess’s power might be reduced, but the King of the Southern Wilderness would rise.
Su Xiaoxiao agreed deeply. “The people from the Assassin Alliance have come to the Southern Wilderness. It’s best if we resolve the huge trouble here before the King of the Southern Wilderness gathers more and more forces.” “Xiaoxiao is right.” Wei Qing looked at the silent Wei Ting.
Wei Liulang also sensed his brother’s silence. He pushed Wei Ting. “Little
Seven, why aren’t you saying anything?”
Wei Ting said without changing his expression, “Am I not listening to you?” “Oh.” Wei Liulang did not doubt him.
Wei Qing looked at Wei Ting deeply and picked up the teacup to take a sip. Wei Liulang asked, “What should we do next?”
Wei Qing put down his teacup. “Go to the mine and lure the Saintess over. Let the person in the mine out.”
“They’re about to be released?” Wei Liulang was so excited!
“Little Seven and I will go!” He immediately stood up and pulled Wei Ting.
“Hurry up!”
The two Kings would be facing each other!
Wei Ting stood up.
Su Xiaoxiao planned to go out.
Wei Qing said, “Little Seven, stay. I have something to tell you.”
When only the brothers were left in the room, Wei Qing assumed the dignity of an elder brother. “What’s wrong with the two of you?”
Wei Ting said perfunctorily, “Nothing.”
“Nothing and yet you put on such a face! Where did you get the guts?”
“I didn’t!”
Wei Qing looked at him with a dark gaze.
Wei Qing never beat up his brothers, but he had an indescribable dignity.
Wei Ting turned his face away.
Wei Qing said coldly, “Only Xiaoxiao can withstand your bad habits. If it were any other woman, they would be angered to death by your mouth.”
Wei Ting frowned. “Are you still my biological brother?”
Wei Qing snorted. “If I weren’t for your biological brother, I would have beaten you up long ago.”
Wei Ting’s anger had actually almost dissipated. He had not said anything just now because he was a little embarrassed.
Wei Qing berated, “Apologize to her!”
Wei Ting pursed his lips and looked conflicted. He opened the door and left.
Su Xiaoxiao was sitting on a stone stool in the courtyard and watching Cheng Sang play with the children. She was quiet and obedient.
Wei Ting thought of how different she was from the first time he saw her and suddenly felt his heart ache.
He walked over and gently stroked the top of her head.
Su Xiaoxiao looked up at him.
Wei Ting cleared his throat. “Second Brother asked me to apologize to you.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Oh.”
The two of them looked in another direction. A moment later, they looked at each other at the same time.
After looking at each other for a full three seconds, neither of them could help but turn around and smile.
Su Xiaoxiao leaned against him and hugged his tight waist.
Wei Ting gently wrapped his arm around her shoulder and lowered his head to kiss the top of her head..
