The first thing Su Qi and Su Yu did was to rush to visit their grandfather.
"Me first!"
"Me first!"
The two brothers pulled each other and neither of them gave in.
In the end, Su Yu took a slight lead over his second brother by half a step and squeezed into the old marquis's house.
The two brothers who were quarreling outside immediately quieted down as soon as they entered the old marquis's house.
Looking at their grandfather who could still practice boxing in the yard before they set out, but now could only lie weakly on the hospital bed, their eyes were red.
"What happened to grandpa?" Su Yu choked.
The letter said that grandfather was not feeling well, but they didn't expect it to be so serious.
Su Qi blamed himself and said, "It's all my fault. If I had known... I wouldn't have held the coming-of-age ceremony..."
"It's not your fault, second brother." Su Yu rarely did not expose the second brother's tricks, "You can't help much at home."
Su Qi sniffed: "At least I can accompany my grandfather..."
Su Yu: "Second brother, don't think too highly of yourself."
Su Qi: “…”
Su Yuan also came to see the old marquis, and then he went to the study next door with a heavy heart.
"What did Doctor Fu say?" Su Yuan asked.
Su Mo did not hide anything from his father: "Poisoning, heart disease."
Su Yuan was shocked and grabbed the armrest of the chair: "What? How could your grandfather be poisoned?"
Heart disease is surprising, but poisoning is even more incredible.
Su Mo said: "My son is investigating secretly, but at present, there is still no clue. I asked about my grandfather's daily diet, and there is nothing strange. We can rule out accidental poisoning."
The so-called accidental poisoning refers to food incompatibility. This situation is rare, but it does exist.
The old marquis's poison obviously does not fall into this category.
Su Mo continued, "I suspect... someone poisoned my grandfather, but I haven't found out how or where they poisoned him."
Su Yuan nodded, agreeing with his son's speculation: "Who would poison your grandfather?"
Su Mo said seriously, "My grandfather was a soldier all his life. He was upright and made countless enemies. From the motive, it is difficult to identify the murderer. From the perspective of the beneficiaries, the first beneficiary is actually my father."
Su Yuan hesitated to speak.
Su Mo said, "After Grandfather passes away, Father will be able to inherit the title of Marquis of Zhenbei smoothly. I know that Father will not frame Grandfather, but all the officials in the court and the people in the capital all know that Grandfather had a big quarrel with Father a few months ago. Grandfather even threatened to abolish Father's title of Crown Prince and return the title of Marquis to the court."
Su Yuan smiled bitterly: "So, in order to keep my title, I will most likely attack your grandfather."
Su Mo's eyes were firm: "Father won't do that, but rumors will cause trouble."
Su Yuan would never persecute his father. He knew that his son trusted him. His son dealt with the matter objectively and fairly, breaking down all the clues.
He is proud to have such a son.
Seeing that his father had no objection, Su Mo felt relieved and continued, "Grandfather holds military power. If he passes away, many military families will benefit, including the Wei family, the Murong family, the Qin family, and the Leng family."
Su Yuan shook his head: "The Qin and Su families are inseparable. Without your grandfather, the Qin family's power in the court will be weakened. The Qin family will not frame your grandfather. As for the Wei family and the Leng family..."
Su Yuan stopped talking.
The dispute between the Wei and Su families cannot be explained in a few words.
Su Mo said again: "By the way, father, there is one more thing."
Su Yuan said: "You say."
Su Mo frowned: "Grandfather...has he investigated Miss Su?"
Su Yuan was puzzled and asked, "Why do you say that?"
Su Mo said: "Miss Su has a nickname in the countryside, Fatty. I don't remember ever mentioning it to my grandfather, but Miss Su said that when my grandfather woke up, he called her 'Fat Ya'."
Su Yuan's expression suddenly became excited.
Su Mo looked at him strangely: "Father?"
Su Yuan calmed down and said, "My aunt was a little fat when she was young, so my father always called her Fatty..."
Su Mo looked at the several portraits of his great-aunt hanging in the study. The girls in the portraits had graceful and slender figures, and were not fat at all!
Su Yuan coughed lightly and said, "My aunt gave the painter two hundred taels of silver and asked him to make her look thinner."
People can be fat, but their portraits cannot be fat!
Before she got married, her aunt's portrait somehow found its way to the public, and the whole capital knew that the Su family had produced a fairy-like beauty. Countless young men were crazy about their aunt, went crazy for her, and banged their heads against the wall for her! Su Mo's expression was indescribable.
Is this a little thinner?
This is like digging out half of my great-aunt! ...
As the sky brightened, a carriage stopped in the quiet Lihua Lane.
The guard said with huge dark circles under his eyes, "Master, we've been waiting all night. Are you sure you don't want to knock on the door? What are you worried about? Tell me and I'll help you solve it, okay?"
Wei Ting snorted coldly.
Don’t people get up early in the countryside?
I started making snacks at three o'clock in the morning.
how?
Did you become lazy after arriving in the capital?
Wei Ting's carriage was parked at the door for most of the night. If his young master's anger could kill people, the secret guard felt that no one would survive in the entire Lihua Lane.
Finally, there was movement in the yard.
Wei Ting's ears pricked up and he immediately brushed off his long, wide sleeves.
He had regained his identity and naturally no longer dressed like a farmer.
He wore a loose white robe and a dark gauze gown with dark patterns. His strong and sturdy waist was tied with a jade belt with delicate patterns. From a distance, he looked ethereal like a banished immortal, while from close up, he was as white as jade, a unique young man in the world.
Inside the carriage, the clear light of the luminous pearls rippled, falling on his jade-like face, making his handsomeness even more outstanding.
Even the most beautiful woman would feel inferior to him because of his stunning appearance.
"Car window." He ordered coldly.
The secret guard got off the carriage and raised the window.
Wei Ting: “Too high.”
Secret guard: No, you are still picking angles? Creak, the gate opened.
Wei Ting sat there handsomely and indifferently.
Unfortunately, the person who came out was Doctor Fu.
Doctor Fu didn't know Wei Ting, so he glanced at the carriage parked opposite and left.
With a creak, the gate opened again.
Wei Ting continued to sit upright.
The one who came out was Su Ergou.
He didn't recognize his brother-in-law who had a new look... Mainly because he didn't even look at him. He took the foal out to poop and then went back to the yard.
Wei Ting: “…”
The third person to come out was Old Man Su.
He was not awake at all. He heard the horse snorting and thought it was his daughter coming back, so he took a dazed look.
"Ah... not my daughter."
I went back to my room and took a nap.
Wei Ting again: "..."
Am I still your most beloved son-in-law? ! !
The secret guard suddenly felt a little pity for his own young master.
I waited all night, but was ignored one after another. What was going on? Wei Ting said, "It's a bit stuffy in the carriage."
The dark guard said, "Uh... do you want to come down and take a walk?"
Wei Ting: "Since you insist, I'll listen to you this time."
The secret guard was confused: No, what did I insist on?
Wei Ting got off the carriage in a leisurely manner and came to the half-open gate of the courtyard.
Just at this moment, the three little ones also got up.
Then they saw a tall figure as majestic as a mountain.
Wei Ting: “Heh.”
The three little ones stared at him blankly, and stood there in a daze for three seconds! The next second, the three little ones worked together and slammed the door shut! Oh no! The stinky daddy is here to snatch them away!
"uncle!"
The three little ones hugged Su Ergou's thighs.
Su Ergou: "What?"
Da Hu said, "Don't go out."
Su Ergou said: "I have to go buy some buns, aren't you hungry?"
Hungry……
The three little ones' eyes rolled around.
Xiaohu pointed with his little hand: "Back door nine!"
Erhu went to the kitchen to get the shopping basket.
Da Hu stood on tiptoe to remove the bolt of the back door.
Su Ergou enjoyed the three little guys’ star-level service for the first time. He scratched his head and said, “Well, OK.”
Front door.
Wei Ting laughed angrily.
Little bastard, after not seeing him for a month, you don’t want him as your dad anymore, right?
Look at what that woman has done to her son? The secret guard asked, "Master, are those three children the young masters?"
The secret guard came when Wei Ting was on his way to the capital. He only learned about what happened along the way from Yuchi Xiu, but had not seen anyone from the Su family and the young masters.
"She spoiled me!" Wei Ting snorted coldly, "When I see her later, I'll show you how I'll deal with her!"
Just as he finished speaking, the Su family's carriage arrived.
"Miss Su, we're here," said the driver.
Wei Ting walked over coldly and opened the curtain.
The driver was surprised and asked, "Hey, who are you?"
The secret guard's sword was pressed against the driver's neck.
Wei Ting had been holding back his anger all the way, and he thought of a hundred ways to teach someone a lesson, but before he could even vent his anger, he saw a tired face.
Su Xiaoxiao stayed up all night and fell asleep in the carriage due to exhaustion.
Wei Ting coldly reached out his hand and took her down from the carriage.
The driver was stunned.
The secret guards are not much better.
What about the lesson we promised?
Wei Ting was holding a soft little fat kid and could feel that she had become lighter.
Wei Ting frowned and walked into the house with a sullen face.
The secret guard opened his mouth: "Master..."
Wei Ting said calmly: "Go buy some meat."
Secret guard: “???”
…
The three little ones followed Su Ergou to buy buns, and after buying them they refused to go back.
Su Ergou just thought that they were bored at home and didn't suspect it too much. It's just that... they had been walking for a long time and he was not tired, but he was thirsty.
"Go back and have a drink of water before coming out to play."
He said to the three little ones.
The three little ones shook their heads.
"Rice wine." Xiaohu said.
This is his most standard pronunciation.
There was indeed a shop nearby that sold rice wine and various buns and steamed buns. Su Ergou swallowed his saliva and said, "Okay, okay."
After all, he had earned more than 60 taels of silver, so he could still afford a few bowls of rice wine.
He took his three little nephews in to drink rice wine.
As luck would have it, he actually ran into Qin Yun.
To be exact, it was Qin Yun who discovered him.
Qin Yun was humiliated by Su Xiaoxiao yesterday and wanted to go back to complain to his grandfather and father, but they were busy until midnight and returned by then, when he was already asleep.
When he got up this morning, the two of them went to court again.
He was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger. As luck would have it, he saw Su Ergou! Su Ergou whipped him so hard that his cheeks ached when he saw him.
He was on the second floor, and Su Ergou and his three children were in the lobby.
Shops in the capital city change frequently, but some distinctive old brands remain standing, such as the noodle shop that day and this restaurant today.
"It's unlucky to eat in the same place with such a person!"
"What happened to the young master?"
Zhang Xun, the son of the Zhang family, who was sitting opposite, said, "When we learned that the young master was returning to Beijing, we skipped classes to welcome him. Isn't that thoughtful enough?"
"It's not you." Qin Yun said unhappily, "You are a dog slave who doesn't know how to live or die."
Another young master named Li said, "Oh? What kind of servant dares to offend our young master?"
Who is Qin Yun?
Qin Che's only son, the future heir to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, and his elder sister is about to marry the prince's consort. Looking across the capital, there are probably not many people who dare to provoke this young master.
Qin Yun said coldly: "The boy I mentioned to you in the letter!"
"Him? He came to the capital?" The third young man, whose surname was Sun and whose given name was Kuang, stood up and began to look around the hall.
All of them are playboys and Qin Yun's cronies. They usually try to curry favor with Qin Yun, and naturally they will not miss this opportunity.
"The one with the three children?" Sun Kuang asked.
Master Li and Zhang Xun also came over to take a look.
Master Li said: "Oh, triplets, rare, they look pretty good--"
"Cough!" Master Zhang coughed heavily.
Master Li quickly changed his words: "He looks silly, and at first glance he is a bumpkin from the countryside. So... why did they come to the capital?"
Qin Yun snorted, "They are just swindling people! My cousin was deceived by them!"
Master Li was stunned and said, "Even Master Su was deceived? That's impossible... Master Su is very smart..."
Qin Yun said angrily, "What do you know? This is called being smart for a lifetime and being foolish for a moment! They pretended to be doctors and sneaked into the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion to treat my great-uncle. I went to visit my great-uncle yesterday, and he looked like he was dying...!"
Master Li pounded his fist on the door and said indignantly, "How can this be! This is murder for money!"
"I warned my eldest cousin, but he didn't listen to my advice! He will kill my great uncle sooner or later!"
"Ahem." Zhang Xun said, "Lord Su is a lucky man, nothing will happen to him."
This kid, one after another, is no good, one after another, he is killing me, can't he hope that the old marquis will get better? Master Li said seriously: "We can't let them continue to harm the old marquis!"
Qin Yun asked: "Do you have a solution?"
Master Li smiled and said, "How difficult is that? They are just a few bumpkins from the countryside. We can just drive them out of the capital! We can take care of it!"
"Will it work?" Qin Yun muttered.
The Su family trusted the brother and sister very much, and he didn't get any advantage from them.
Master Li rolled up his sleeves and said with a haughty look on his face: "You underestimate us too much. This is the capital, our own territory! If we can't even drive away a few bumpkins, I won't be able to show my face in the capital in the future!"
Sun Kuang said: "Huh? Those kids are gone."
Yesterday I said both chapters were big chapters, and you said they should be bigger.
Okay, the bigger chapter is coming.
