The head of the Su family slammed the table again: "It's not up to you."
After saying this, he looked at Master Li with a sinister look in his eyes.
"I hope the Li family will take their daughter back as soon as possible. If there is a commotion, it will not cause any loss to our Su family, but it will be a different story for the Li family."
Mr. Li knew how serious the matter was. If it got out of hand, who would dare to marry a girl from the Li family?
Looking at his disappointing daughter, Master Li winked at his wife, "Take her back. She did something wrong and must bear the wrath of General Su."
He poisoned someone's mother to death. If it were him, he would definitely kill the person quietly.
Being able to divorce his wife and let her go was considered as Su Can's debt to his daughter over the years, and it finally gave her a chance to survive.
"I won't leave. I won't leave."
Li struggled and refused to leave. Su Can sneered, "If you don't leave, then report to the authorities. Someone! Go report to the Jingzhao prefect and hand over all the prisoners to the constables. If necessary, we can open the autopsy."
When she heard that the autopsy was going to be conducted, Li no longer dared to make a fuss. She cried and left with her daughter Su Qinghui and followed the Li family.
Su Qinghui didn't react at all. Her eyes were empty and her steps were unsteady. She staggered behind Li and was dragged out of the Su family.
Su Qingran looked at him without saying a word.
The Su family opened an ancestral hall, expelled Su Qinghui from the clan, crossed out Li's name, and established Su Xun as the legitimate son.
The matter is now settled.
Chu Xiaoxiao followed her elder and second brothers home that night, but fell asleep on the way before reaching the mansion.
When he was sent to Yang's yard, Milk Ball was already fast asleep, drooling and emitting bubbles from his snot.
Yang took her over to wash her, and then put her on the bed. The little girl was exhausted, lying on her back, not knowing which way was which.
I guess I didn’t even know I was sold.
The big white goose in the yard saw its owner coming back and wanted to ask for some grass. But when it saw that the owner was asleep, it rolled its little eyes upwards and curled up beside the bed.
If I don't give it today, I will have to give it tomorrow, right?
There was no conversation at the Duke of Huguo's mansion that night.
No, there is something.
Chu Zhinan was awakened in the middle of the night by the stench on his body. He touched his face and felt a layer of mud.
He quickly got up quietly and prepared to go to the lake.
No wonder my daughter told them to go take a bath in the lake. With the layer of mud on their bodies, if they were to stay in the house, they would need at least three buckets of water.
The servants were all asleep, who would get him water in the middle of the night?
It’s better to go to the lake and wash yourself clean.
He thought he was very careful, but he still woke Yang up. She almost vomited when she smelled the stench on her body.
"What's that smell on me? It stinks."
Chu Zhinan comforted her: "It's not yours, it's mine. Madam! Give me clothes, I want to wash them in the lake."
Yang looked up and saw that the man, who was originally fair-skinned, was covered with a layer of black oil, and she immediately found it funny.
"Haha! There's a lot of black oil on your body. It's almost turning into black pimples."
"Hehehe!" Chu Zhinan also laughed, "But I feel a lot lighter."
Yang got up to get him clothes. When she saw him leave, she felt sticky and smelled bad, so she went to the bathroom to wash up.
Fortunately, the weather was not very cold, and the water used last night was not poured out. She had used it to wash herself, so there was nothing wrong with washing it again.
You can't ask the servants to boil water in the middle of the night!
There was no one by the lake in the middle of the night. Chu Zhinan took off his clothes, leaving only his underwear, and jumped into the water.
Not long after, Chu Zhixi arrived, followed by Chu Zhibei.
Both of them smelled terrible.
The three of them washed in three different places. After washing, they went ashore when they felt it didn't stink anymore. They sat in the pavilion by the lake and enjoyed the cool breeze without feeling cold at all.
Chu Zhixi asked Chu Zhinan: "Brother! I feel like all the hidden injuries that were left in my body have healed, and I feel like I have endless energy."
Chu Zhibei used a dry towel to wring out his elder brother's wet hair, smiling like a fool.
"Hehehe! Our Xiaoxiao is amazing. The water is so powerful. I feel like I'm sixteen years old again. The scar on my waist doesn't hurt anymore. I walk with a brisk pace, like the wind."
Chu Zhinan warned his two brothers: "Don't say this to anyone. Don't mention it to outsiders. The stronger Xiaoxiao's ability is, the heavier the burden on our shoulders will be. We must protect her, otherwise she will be harmed by treacherous villains."
Chu Zhixi nodded solemnly: "I know, big brother! Don't worry. I think Xiaoxiao is smarter than anyone else even though she is small."
He wrung Chu Zhinan's hair dry, and then took out a dry towel and asked Chu Zhinan to help him wring it. In the military camp, the three brothers had always been like this.
"I heard that Xiaoxiao subdued a tiger at night."
Chu Zhibei's words made Chu Zhinan pause: "Who told you that? Why don't I know?"
Chu Zhixi testified: "Lianlian also told me that Xiaoxiao did subdue a tiger. The tiger escaped from the zoo and was so skinny and hungry that it wanted to eat people. But when Xiaoxiao pointed at it, the tiger lay on the ground motionless."
Chu Zhibei rushed to say: "Xiaoxiao also rode a tiger to an alley, and then the tiger disappeared. She came out alone and was said to have left."
Upon hearing this, Chu Zhinan was in no mood to comb his brother's hair, so he handed the task to Chu Zhixi. He sat aside with a serious expression.
"Yifei, Yilin came back and said nothing. He went back to his yard. I don't know anything."
"You know what?"
A dark figure came up from behind, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the old Duke. His hunched back straightened up, and he walked fast with steady steps, his hands behind his back.
One look at the three sons revealed that they had already been washed.
Chu Zhinan, Chu Zhixi and Chu Zhibei looked at the old Duke of Protectorate and were almost scared to death by his current appearance.
How come Dad is black from head to toe? Except for his eyeballs and big white teeth, the rest of his skin is covered with black mud, even on his scalp, as if he had just crawled out of the mud.
It stinks worse than them.
The old Duke threw the bag in his hand into the pavilion, took off his shirt, and slowly walked towards the lake.
Chu Zhinan wanted to go over to help him, but he raised his hand to stop him.
"Don't come and make trouble. Just wash yourself and sit in the pavilion. Your father is in good health now. I feel like I'm forty years old again. Hahaha! Taking up a gun and going to war is no problem."
The old Duke felt the changes in his body. The endless strength, the strong heartbeat, and the clear eyes made his blood boil.
Although he did not achieve rejuvenation, he was able to return to middle age and remain strong even in old age.
The spiritual spring water is really a good thing! The pain in my body is gone, and I sleep very soundly. My appetite is better, and I feel like I can eat a cow.
The old woman's body was also covered with a layer of black dirt. She washed it at home and then came to the lake by herself.
Unexpectedly, the three sons were also there, which showed that they were also tainted with the same filth.
Listening to their father laughing, Chu Zhinan and his two younger brothers looked at each other and smiles appeared on their faces.
