Xiao Lingyu whispered, "I heard from the second brother that you can protect yourself with stones?"
"Yes, and I can protect the children."
"Well, now that you've regained your sight, I can rest assured when the eldest brother and I go to the county." Xiao Lingyu glanced sideways at the pouting, sleeping Xiao Xi'er, and continued in a low voice, "I suspect the perpetrators of the persecution of the second and third brothers are in Huayang County. After we leave tomorrow, the second and third brothers cannot leave your sight, understand?"
Su Xingyi knew that Xiao Lingyu was concerned about the safety of the children. "Okay, don't worry too much. I will be well again soon. I will work with you to protect the children and ensure they grow up safely and healthily."
Xiao Lingyu looked at the man on the bed. He seemed to have forgotten that he was also picked up and might have been persecuted.
"You have to protect your children while also taking care of yourself."
Su Xingyi's lips curled slightly when he heard this, and he remembered what Xiao Xier said today. He wanted to be sensible and obedient. "Okay, I will take care of myself."
"Also, weren't we picking up Boss and Xiao Xi'er at Wufeng Mountain? They must not be ordinary people. Boss is very strong, and Xiao Xi'er also has a magical side..."
Xiao Lingyu told Su Xingyi about Xiao Xier's special bloodline.
Su Xingyi was shocked. No wonder he heard the mother and daughter talking about body odor in the main room that night. The people who persecuted her were simply despicable. They actually used such harsh methods on such a cute and well-behaved little Xier. His hands at his side clenched into fists.
He picked up Xiao Xier, so she is his daughter, no different from his own biological child.
"Then it won't take long for Xiao Xi'er to become fragrant?"
Xiao Lingyu nodded gently, "Yes, you have to keep your testimony to me. If the eldest, second, and third brothers ask you, just say that girls use a lot of scented soap to wash and become fragrant."
Su Xingyi didn't know if he could coax his three sons, but he had to do it even if he couldn't.
"Well, then the yard will be filled with fragrance, and the villagers might get suspicious."
Xiao Lingyu sniffed softly, recalling the special fragrance. "Tomorrow I'll go to the county and buy a truckload of fresh potted flowers. Let our yard be filled with fragrance. Then I'll sew a few sachets for Xiao Xier. I'll use roses, jasmine, the village osmanthus, and other flowers to mix different scents of perfume. I'll give them to you. You four will become fragrant, and this way, the villagers won't find it strange when they smell Xiao Xier's special fragrance."
Su Xingyi didn't know how to describe his feelings at the moment. Xiao Lingyu even knew how to make incense. She asked the whole family to make fragrance to cover up the special fragrance on Xiao Xier's body. She was so smart.
No wonder the kids love to cling to her, and he wants to cling to her too.
Su Xingyi was frightened by this idea. If he asked Xiao Lingyu for a hug or a pat on the head like a child, wouldn't he scare her?
"However, as long as Xiao Xi'er leaves the yard, her fragrance will follow her and will not fade. However, after we are fumigated with the fragrance dew, our fragrance will fade when we go outside, which will easily be noticed by outsiders."
Xiao Lingyu knew that he didn't know what the fragrant dew was. "Don't worry, this fragrant dew isn't meant to be put in an incense burner. Just apply it on your sleeves or collar to create fragrance. It's liquid. I've made it according to the instructions in the book. You'll understand once I'm done."
"Mom." Xiao Xier rubbed her blurry eyes, sat up from the bed, and raised her hands high, "I want to go to the backyard."
"Oh, here it comes."
The next day.
"Dad, can my second brother get a reduced sentence today?"
The Wu family compound has been unusually depressing these past two days due to Wu Linshun's misdeeds.
Wu Qingshan sat in the yard and sighed from time to time.
The question asked by the eldest son Wu Linxin is undoubtedly what the Wu family is most concerned about.
Wu Qingshan paused for a moment before saying, "Don't worry about whether his sentence can be reduced for now. Huaiyuan's method may temporarily allow the younger generation of our Wu family to pursue a career in government, but I'm afraid the court will investigate closely."
Wu Qingshan knew very well that expelling Wu Linshun from the clan and adopting Wu Huaihong were too hasty. Once the court conducted a thorough investigation, it would be a big trouble if the truth was discovered.
It is a misfortune for his family that he has such a son.
He is already old, but he still has to worry about the future of the younger generation.
"And your second brother was able to lead people to rob property in broad daylight. He must have done it more than once. If it wasn't the Su family, it could have been the Li family or the Wang family. Whether he can get a reduced sentence depends on his luck."
Wu Lin's new wife, Sun, said, "Father, isn't Madam Su a princess? As long as she asks, the county magistrate will naturally reduce my second brother's sentence. Besides, you have taken care of the four children of the Su family for the past two years. Whether the sentence can be reduced or not is up to Madam Su's words."
“Bang!”
Wu Qingshan slammed his chopsticks on the table and said angrily, "I think you are confused."
Sun shivered with fear and said hurriedly, "Dad, I'm worried that you'll be sad and upset to see your son die young."
Wu Linxin quickly coaxed him, "Dad, Huaiyuan's mother is also thinking about you."
Wu Qingshan looked at his eldest daughter-in-law for a few breaths. She loved to take the initiative to establish connections with relatives.
It doesn't matter if you flatter others, but you can't just flatter anyone who wants to marry into the Su family. If you go to Mrs. Su and say something nonsense, it could easily cause trouble.
"My eldest son, my eldest daughter-in-law, my eldest grandson's daughter-in-law, listen carefully. Although Madam Su is a princess and the county magistrate treats her with the utmost respect, this does not mean that Madam Su can interfere with the county magistrate's investigation. Think about it carefully. If Madam Su could get a reduced sentence just by speaking to the county magistrate, would she still come to Guihua Village to marry Su Xingyi?"
Wu Qingshan looked at Sun, "You must remember that if your son is to have a stable career, you, as a mother, must ensure that the rear is stable and there are no troubles, so that Huaiyuan won't be distracted. Don't you understand what's going on with his second uncle? If his second uncle hadn't gotten into trouble, would Huaiyuan have been rushing back and forth these past two days?"
Sun suddenly realized that thanks to his son's intelligence, his career would have been ruined by his uncle. "Dad, you are teaching me a lesson. I know I am wrong."
Du Yingying wondered if her mother-in-law would urge her to talk to Mrs. Su and make friends with her this time.
"Also, your second sister-in-law is back. Please try to enlighten her. Even though Hong'er was adopted, he is still her son..."
After Wu Qingshan finished speaking, he straightened his clothes and went to the Su family yard.
"Second brother, I've already simmered the rice in the pot. Just light a fire and cook it at noon. The pork, beef, vegetables, onions, ginger, and garlic are all chopped. You can just add some lard and stir-fry them."
Last night, Su Ningjie just said that he didn't need the Zhang family to bring him food when he was at home, but he didn't expect that his eldest brother had already done all this in advance.
"Brother, you are so nice."
As Su Ningjie said this, he hugged the chubby Su Ningan.
Su Ningan touched Su Ningjie's little head and said, "I am the eldest brother and I have to love my younger brothers and sisters, and I also have to protect my mother."
When Xiao Lingyu came in, he saw the two brothers hugging each other and raised his eyebrows. Wow, these two brothers have a deep relationship.
"Boss, we should leave now. The village chief is here."
Su Ningjie let go of Su Ningan, "Mom, you have to come back soon."
"Okay, come back as soon as you're done, mother."
Afterwards, Xiao Lingyu gave Su Xingyi a few instructions, took Su Ning'an and Wu Qingshan with him, and rushed to Xishui County...
