Madam Huang said in surprise, “Princess, look, we’re covered in injuries…”
Princess Lin interrupted her and said righteously, “Enough. You know very well what you’ve done. Compared to complaining, you should think about how to seek the forgiveness of the victim’s family. I still have something on, so I won’t accompany you for now!”
Their only backer left just like that. Madam Yang and Madam Huang were confused and panicked.
Cheng Sang accidentally stepped on a bead and slipped.
Zongzheng Wei took a step forward to support her.
Su Xiaoxiao muttered, “Uh… so soon?”
Madam Yang and Madam Huang took the opportunity to escape.
Madam Huang ran out and remembered that she had left her son behind. She quickly squeezed in and pulled Chen Haoyuan away.
“Are you going to chase after them?” Shen Chuan asked.
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “There’s no need to chase after them. Let them run.
Anyway, the entire capital will soon know what their family did. Shopkeeper.”
The shopkeeper walked forward respectfully. “Madam Wei.”
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at them. “These jewelry…”
The shopkeeper smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll pick out the broken ones for you. I’ll wrap up the untouched ones on the table for you.” Su Xiaoxiao was quite satisfied with this result.
“Can you fix them?”
“Yes, yes, yes. I can even melt it and make it again!”
The shopkeeper knew how to behave. He could not offend this God of Fortune and could not be too greedy. “I’ll send them up to your carriage later. You and Old Master and Madam can rest for a while.”
Zongzheng Wei held Cheng Sang’s wrist with a handkerchief. “Does it hurt?”
“The child is here.” Cheng Sang glanced at Su Xiaoxiao and lowered her eyes to retract his hand.
She finally realized what she had used to smash the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
It was fine if he didn’t stop her, but he kept handing it to her…
Cheng Sang said, “I’ll return the money to you.”
Zongzheng Wei smiled and tapped his slender fingertips on the counter. “Master Cheng, these jewelry items are not for you.” He turned to look at Su Xiaoxiao. Su Xiaoxiao bowed 90 degrees. “Thank you, Grandfather!”
Cheng Sang clenched her fists.
Call him that again!
Su Xiaoxiao and Shen Chuan had not seen each other for a long time and had a lot to say.
“Congratulations, Top Scorer!”
Shen Chuan patted his head with his fan and said in embarrassment, “It was due to Brother Su who gave in to me. If Brother Su wasn’t absent from the examination hall, it’s still uncertain who the top scholar would end up with.”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, “Don’t belittle yourself. Even Princess Jingning is full of praise for your talent.”
Shen Chuan was stunned. “Ah, yes, yes?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Yes! Princess Jingning looks for your essays!”
Shen Chuan smiled awkwvardly. “Princess Jingning is flattering me. By the way, is Brother Su feeling better?”
Su Xuan missed the exam because he was not feeling well.
The two of them had interacted in the Imperial College because of Su Ergou and had a good relationship.
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment. ‘Yes… it comes and goes. When he completely recovers, I’ll bring you to see him!” Shen Chuan said expectantly, “Okay!”
Su Xiaoxiao sighed secretly.
It was unknown if the Head of the Secret Service had put down his baggage and would continue to escape.
How worrying!
At the Marquis of Zhenbei’s Estate, Madam Tao had not been eating or drinking for the past few days and had lost weight.
The maidservant came over to change her dressing.
It had been a few days, but the wound had not healed.
It looked scabbed and bleeding at the touch.
“I’ll do it myself,” said Madam Tao.
“Yes, Madam.” The maidservant put down the ointment. Madam Tao sighed. “Don’t stand in front of me. I want to be alone.” The maidservants could only leave.
Madam Tao applied golden sore medicine to her injury. When she wrapped herself in gauze, she could not wrap it tightly.
Suddenly, a well-defined hand reached over and took the gauze from her.
“Didn’t I say myself…”
Before she could finish, Madam Tao was stunned.
Her gaze followed the hand all the way up and saw the handsome face she had been thinking about day and night.
“Xuan’er…”
Her throat hurt and her eyes turned red.
“You’re back?”
Su Xuan knelt on one knee and wrapped her in gauze. “Yes, I’m back.”
Madam Tao suddenly felt aggrieved. Tears fell. “Why did you only come back now? You… you… look at my hand… I’m injured..
Su Xuan tied the gauze and gently wiped Madam Tao’s tears. “It’s my fault for causing Mother to be injured.”
Madam Tao choked and said, “Actually, it doesn’t hurt very much… I just miss you… You… Don’t go to your grandfather’s place like this next time… I woke up early in the morning… When I saw that you weren’t around… my heart was empty…”
Su Xuan swallowed his swollen throat. “Alright, I won’t leave.”
“Really?” Madam Tao asked tearfully. “Really,” Su Xuan said softly. “You’re not lying to me?”
“I’m not lying to you.”
“You agreed. You’re not allowed to leave me again. Wherever you go, I want to go with you.”
Madam Tao sobbed and hugged her son tightly.
Her son had clearly only gone to her maternal grandfather’s house, but for some reason, she felt like she had almost lost him. 𝗳re𝗲𝚠e𝐛n𝗼v𝗲l.c𝐨𝐦
Su Xiaoxiao, Cheng Sang, and Zongzheng Wei returned to the Protectorate.
She could be said to have returned with a full load today. The carriage could barely hold a large stack of jewelry boxes.
She entered the residence valiantly.
“Dad! Ergou!”
Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu stayed in the Wei family to accompany Matriarch Wei. There was only Su Cheng and his son in the courtyard.
Su Ergou was squatting in the toilet.
Su Cheng was repairing the three little wooden horses.
The three of them were getting better at fooling around. After returning for a night, they had broken all three small wooden horses.
Su Cheng was sweating profusely. “My dear daughter is back. Where’s His
Majesty and your grandmother?”
“They’re taking a walk at the back! I’m going to see Fourth Cousin!” As Su Xiaoxiao spoke, she turned around and left the courtyard.
Su Cheng knocked twice. “Aiya, I forgot to tell my daughter that her fourth cousin and Su Li went back. I was the one who sent them back.”
Su Xiaoxiao climbed the hill and went to the old man’s courtyard.
“Senior!”
“He’s not here?”
“Fourth Cousin? Su Li?”
“They’re all not there.”
Su Xiaoxiao searched every room, but there was no one.
Su Xiaoxiao decided to look for them in the orchard.
Su Xiaoxiao was right.
After Su Xuan and Su Li were taken away by Su Cheng, the old man came to the orchard.
He wanted to pick some leaves to use as medicine. Halfway through, he heard intermittent music.
He knew that someone lived here.
However, this was the first time she had heard the sound of the zither.
He put away the medicine basket and followed the sound of the zither to the courtyard next door.
His courtyard was planted with flowers, and here were grapes.
Under the exquisite grape rack, a man in plain clothes was tuning the zither.
A string of vibrant grape vines fell, covering the man’s appearance.
The old man was not a curious person.
However, for some reason, he took a few steps forward.
At this moment, Ling Yun also sensed that someone was coming.
He stopped what he was doing and turned to look at him.
A summer wind blew, blowing the grape vines beside him.
The old man saw his face clearly.
Ling Yun also saw the old man..
