He couldn’t hug him.

Some people could never let go once they hugged.

“Let him sleep at your place for a while.” After Wei Ting put him down, he left without looking back.

Wei Ting did not doubt his sixth brother’s intuition about the three little fellows. Indeed, it might not be just his intuition.

After all, he had been following them secretly for so long. It was impossible for his sixth brother to have no clue about the little fellows’ background.

Wei Liulang looked at the sleeping little fellow helplessly. He stiffened and moved in, wanting to stay away from Xiaohu.

It was as if he wouldn’t be bewitched if he didn’t get close.

Xiaohu had the worst sleeping posture among the three brothers. Wei Ting had placed him on the edge of the bed and let him fall to the ground.

Wei Liulang was furious.

He couldn’t even let a child off!

He slowly reached out, wanting to pull Xiaohu in a little. However, before he could touch him, he retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

He turned his head and never looked at Xiaohu again.

Xiaohu was sleeping soundly when he flipped over and fell…

His small body was close to his chest.

The father and son’s heartbeats connected at this moment.

At the Number One Hall, Manager Sun was calculating at the counter. When he looked up and saw Su Xiaoxiao, he was overjoyed. “Yo, what a rare guest. What brings our boss here today?”

Su Xiaoxiao had been so busy recently that she hadn’t come to the medical center for a few days.

“I’ll come more often in the future.”

At work, Su Xiaoxiao’s attitude was very strict.

Manager Sun hurriedly said, “Hey, no, no! It’s not like the medical center can’t do without you. A few days ago, we just recruited two types of physicians. Little Weizi, Yunxiu, and Ying’er are also much more capable than before. You should busy yourself with what you’re doing. I think you’ve lost weight recently.”

Manager Sun watched her go from a 200-pound fatty to a 120-pound fatty.

Who would know if his heart ached?

There was a commotion next door. Su Xiaoxiao asked, “What’s going on over there?”

Manager Sun sighed. “Didn’t Princess Lingxi buy the Hu family’s Benevolence Hall? Do you know what shop she originally planned to open?”

“What shop?” Su Xiaoxiao gave him face.

Manager Sun chuckled and said, “Coffin shop! It’s so damaging to open a coffin beside a medical center! In the end, before we could find our bad luck, the Guo family got unlucky! Something happened to Princess Lingxi’s biological brother. I heard that Prime Minister Guo knelt outside the Imperial Study for three days. He felt guilty for not teaching his grandson well and begged Your Majesty to remove him from the position of Prime Minister…’

“Has he been removed?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Manager Sun sneered. “How can that be? He’s a veteran of three dynasties and is loyal to the previous emperor and His Majesty. Without conclusive evidence, His Majesty won’t do anything to him. Look, I heard that he fainted at the entrance of the Imperial Study. His Majesty even bestowed an imperial physician to treat him.”

Manager Sun did not care about these political matters in the countryside. After coming to the capital, his horizons and conversation had changed.

“Ah, speaking of which, isn’t the Guo family in trouble? The foreman took the silver and ran away. The shop that was halfway renovated was forced to stop work. The craftsmen came to ask for their hard-earned money. The Guo family’s steward said that the money had already been given to the foreman and asked them to ask him for it.’

An auntie, who was waiting in the lobby to get the medicine, came over and said to the two of them, “I heard that the shop next door has bad feng shui. Whoever buys it will be unlucky! First, it’s the Hu family, then the Guo family! No one is spared! Your shop is prosperous and has good feng shui!”

Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “Is that so? We plan to buy the one next door.”

The aunt looked at Su Xiaoxiao as if she had eaten sh*t, then at Manager Sun.

Manager Sun smiled and nodded. “That’s right. We’re just waiting for the Guo family to sell it.” The aunt was speechless.

“Take care, Aunt—next time—”

Manager Sun waved the other party goodbye.

The aunt grabbed the medicine bag and left as if there was a ghost chasing her!

Manager Sun smiled and thought of something. He asked, “By the way, how are your grandfather’s injuries?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “He passed the critical period.”

Manager Sun heaved a sigh of relief. “I’m relieved.”

The two of them chatted for a while more. Su Xiaoxiao went to cet the

medicine and came out of the medical center.

She looked at the Su family’s coachman and couldn’t help but think of Su Mo.

It had been a few days since Su MO went to chase after Guo Huan. Had he not caught up yet, or did Su MO have another plan?

Su Xiaoxiao returned to the Imperial Astronomy Center. Dahu and Erhu fell asleep at Qin Canglan’s side.

“Eh? Where’s Xiaohu?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

“Sleeping next door,” Qin Canglan said.

They did not announce Wei Liulang’s identity to the public, and Sikong Yun did not ask further.

Wei Liulang was still unwilling to communicate with them, but Qin Canglan was basically certain that the person who gave him the last chance of survival that night was Wei Liulang.

He did not expect Wei Liulang to end up like this after surviving the battlefield. Thinking of this, Qin Canglan sighed.

Qin Canglan sighed. “It’s good that he’s back after all. When I find an opportunity, I’ll tell Matriarch Wei and the others.”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “I’m afraid we have to wait for him to untie the knot in his heart.’

Qin Canglan thought of Wei Liulang’s current situation and did not say anything else. “Ah, right, is there any news of Mo’er?” “Not yet.” Su Xiaoxiao shook her head.

Qin Canglan muttered, “Strange, where did this child go?”

In the forest 20 miles away from the southern city gate of the capital, there was a peach forest filled with the fragrance of fruits.

At this moment, outside an entrance in the peach forest, Xiao Zhonghua and the minister of the Dali Temple were leading a group of soldiers.

Ever since Division Leader Chen told them about this peach forest, the two of them began to search this area.

They found traces of the imperial guards entering at the scene, but after a day and night, no one came out.

Xiao Zhonghua said seriously, “Release another signal.”

Jing Yi lit the fireworks.

The minister said with a solemn expression, “This is the gathering signal of the imperial guards. Any imperial guards nearby will rush over, but it’s been so long. Only those outside the peach forest have rushed over. Those in the peach forest…

The assistant at the side said, “Sir, could we have made a mistake? Perhaps, no one went in?”

The minister of the Dali Temple hoped that they had made a mistake, but he had been handling cases for many years and still had the ability to investigate.

Indeed, the imperial guards had entered, but they might never come out. “Is… is it really so strange?” The assistant felt a chill run down his spine.

“Cousin, I’ll go in and take a look,” Jing Yi said.

“No! I won’t let you take the risk!”

As soon as Xiao Zhonghua finished speaking, a royal guard covered in blood staggered out of the peach forest.

Seeing that he was about to collapse to the ground, Jing Yi quickly supported him. “What happened? Where are the others?”

“They… they’re all dead…”

The imperial guard said weakly, “Young… Young Master Su is inside…”

Xiao Zhonghua quickly walked over. “Which Young Master Su? Su MO? What’s going on inside? Why is it so dangerous?”

The imperial guard lay in Jing Yi’s arm, extreme fear flashing across his eyes.. “There’s… there’s…
