He should have tied them to the carriage and gagged them! Su Yu blinked innocently and immediately passed the buck: "Second brother said it first!"

Su Qi jumped up and said, "Then I don't have as much as you said!"

Su Mo clenched his fists. He simply didn't know how he had allowed his two younger brothers to survive until now.

"You two...get in the carriage!"

Su Qi and Su Yu got on the carriage with a look of grievance on their faces.

Su Mo pressed his painful brow.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Su Mo leisurely and said, "So the jade pendant belongs to your family... No wonder your father reacted so strangely at that time."

He asked about this and that, and even asked about Old Man Su's birthday.

Su Xiaoxiao's reaction was somewhat beyond Su Mo's expectations. Ordinary people... no, not just ordinary people, but anyone, after hearing such explosive news, would probably not be able to remain calm.

But the little girl in front of him remained calm from beginning to end, as if the possibility of establishing a relationship with the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion was not a big deal in her eyes.

Does she know what the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion means? Does she not understand?

Of course Su Xiaoxiao understood. She just had some guesses on the day Su Yuan arrived.

Su Yuan might know Old Man Su’s family, but she didn’t expect that Su Yuan might be Old Man Su’s family member.

As for why not excited.

She wasn't used to celebrating surprises that didn't come.

Besides, this may not necessarily be a happy event.

Father Su has been missing for so many years. If he was born in a poor family, everyone would not have enough food or warm clothes, and it would be difficult to survive. It would be fine if he had no ability to find someone, but what kind of family is the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion? In her previous life, although her family was not related to the royal family, it was also considered a wealthy family. However, she did not experience the warmth and coldness of human feelings in that family.

On the contrary, coming here and meeting Old Man Su and Su Ergou, who would rather starve themselves than let her go, gave her a feeling of home that she had never had before.

In her heart, she never equated noble birth with qualified family members.

"Now that you've heard it..."

Originally, Su Mo planned to invite them to the capital on the pretext of doing business. He also thought of a reason to include Su Cheng - you saved my father and are the benefactor of our Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. As a thank you, I hope to invite you to visit the capital.

Who could refuse such an invitation? If she was not even tempted by this, he would do something cruel—

It's a pity that his two younger brothers, who never dared to cause trouble, disrupted all his plans.

They shouldn't have been allowed to come -

No, if they stayed in the ancestral home, they would only let the cat out of the bag in front of Qin Yun...

Su Mo took a deep breath and calmed the chaotic thoughts in his mind.

"Yes, this jade pendant belongs to our Zhenbei Marquis Mansion."

He waited for her to ask: Who is missing from your Zhenbei Marquis Mansion? What is the relationship between my father and your Zhenbei Marquis Mansion? In the end, she just said "oh" lightly.

That’s it?

He almost blurted out: Aren’t you curious?

He held back the words as they reached his lips.

He actually didn't intend to reveal too much before his identity was confirmed.

His subordinates are loyal to him and will not lie to him, but she is not at all like the one in the rumors.

"I hope you can come to Beijing and cooperate with us to find out the truth of the matter."

"Master Su." Su Xiaoxiao looked at him calmly, "Whether we go to the capital is not up to you. It's useless to hope. Now it's not whether you want to recognize us, but whether we want to recognize you."

This girl... is so arrogant! Su Xiaoxiao said: "We don't want to create a lot of fake relatives."

Su Mo: “……!!”

"Mr. Su, if there is nothing else, I have to get busy."

After saying that, Su Xiaoxiao stopped looking at him and continued drawing.

Su Mo glanced at it casually.

Su Xiaoxiao really ignored Su Mo.

"Please think about it for a few days." Su Mo didn't want to push him too much, so he got in the carriage and left.

Not long after, Old Man Su came back from the fields.

"Girl!"

He touched his stomach and asked, "Is there anything delicious?"

Su Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen and brought him a plate of pumpkin pie.

The pumpkin pancake was freshly fried and was still steaming hot, with some red bean filling inside.

Old Man Su enjoyed the meal very much.

"Dad." Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, "Have you ever thought about what family you have in the world?"

"Hmm?" Old Man Su was busy talking.

While drawing, Su Xiaoxiao asked, "When you were stranded here, I wondered if you got separated from your family. Do you want to go find them?"

Father Su ate a bite of the pancake in silence: "It's been so many years, what is there to find? You don't know how serious the famine was back then. There must be no one left in my family."

Su Xiaoxiao asked: "What if there is one? Do you want to find it?"

Father Su waved his hand.

After lunch, Doctor Fu came to Xiao Su's house.

This was the first time that Doctor Fu came to Xinghua Village. To be honest, Su Xiaoxiao was also quite surprised.

What was even more surprising was that...his face and nose were bruised, as if he had been beaten by someone.

"I accidentally fell."

Doctor Fu said this in order to save his face.

I will never admit that I was beaten by my own mother.

Su Xiaoxiao: "Oh."

Doctor Fu: What is this suspicious tone of yours? Doctor Fu gulped down a few sips of tea, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "I'm here to see you for something serious."

Doctor Fu told Su Xiaoxiao about Su Mo's visit to seek medical treatment. "...This person from the capital seems to have some friendship with my father. His father came here a few days ago, and I was on a medical visit at that time."

It’s a small world.

Doctor Fu did not specify Su Mo's identity, but Su Xiaoxiao had already deduced it from his description. No wonder Su Yuan came to Xinghua Town. It turned out that he wanted to invite Doctor Fu's father to go to the capital to treat the old marquis.

Doctor Fu sighed, "My mother said that the old marquis has been ill for many years, and my father couldn't cure him. My medical skills are not as good as my father's, so I shouldn't humiliate myself."

Su Xiaoxiao asked: "So why are you here today——"

Doctor Fu took out a piece of paper from his bosom and said, "I found my father's medical records. They record the old marquis's symptoms. I copied a copy. Do you want me to read it to you?"

"No need, I can read."

“So soon?”

Su Xiaoxiao took the medical records from his hand. She learned to read quickly and could basically recognize most of the words on the medical records. If she really didn't understand something, she could guess what it meant by combining the context.

But to be on the safe side, she still asked Doctor Fu to check it again.

"From the patient's symptoms recorded by your father, some of them seem to be heart failure caused by insufficient lung qi. The herbs your father prescribed are also prescriptions for replenishing lung qi."

"That's right." Doctor Fu said, "However, this is a record from more than ten years ago. The old marquis's illness may have changed now. Who knows."

"That's right. This medical record is too outdated and can no longer be used as a basis for diagnosis..." Su Xiaoxiao said, glancing at him, "You want to go to the capital to treat the old marquis?"

Doctor Fu shook his head and said, "My mother is old, and I don't feel comfortable leaving her here alone. I think... you have excellent medical skills, maybe you can give it a try."

Su Xiaoxiao finished her last stroke and said, "I'm not going to the capital."
