Wei Ting said: "Third sister-in-law, if you let me go, I will buy you meat, the braised pork from Wangjiang Tower!"
Chen paused.
Jiang whipped Wei Ting with a whip: "Third sister-in-law, don't listen to him! He is fooling you again! Last time he said he would buy you a pancake, did he buy it for you in the end?"
"No." Chen frowned.
"How come there isn't any?" Wei Ting gritted his teeth. He had bought it, but it was intercepted by his grandmother's people in the middle.
Chen swung the red tasseled spear again and attacked Wei Ting.
This time, Wei Ting somehow failed to dodge and was hit hard on the back.
Chen's goal was to stop Wei Ting from escaping, not to kill him, so she did not stab him with the gun but instead used a slap.
Even so, Wei Ting still groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Wei Ting fell to the ground in response.
The two's faces changed drastically.
Jiang threw away the whip and walked over. She squatted down and looked at Wei Ting in panic: "Xiao Qi, what's wrong with you?"
Wei Ting lay on the ground, one hand covering his heart, the other reaching for his injured back, and said in pain: "Fifth sister-in-law, I seem to be injured..."
Jiang was stunned and said, "You, you are not blackmailing us again, are you?"
Wei Ting smiled weakly and was about to speak when he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Jiang was frightened and turned to look at Chen and said, "Third sister-in-law, how could you beat Xiaoqi like this?"
"I, I didn't use much force, I just... slapped it."
"Don't you know how strong you are? That blow of yours killed the blind bear!"
This was not an empty talk. When the men of the Wei family were still alive, they once went hunting with the emperor. On the way, the emperor encountered a blind bear. The masters of the palace were too late to rescue him. Chen swung the bear with a stick and killed it on the spot.
Chen realized that she was indeed a bit too strong. She scratched her head and asked, "What should I do?"
Jiang knelt on the ground, looking at Wei Ting who was vomiting blood, and cried: "Xiao Qi——"
"I, I, I'll go get a doctor!"
Chen threw away the red tasseled spear and turned away.
After walking two steps, he turned back and took the red tasseled spear with him.
Jiang cried loudly.
Suddenly, Wei Ting's slender jade-like fingertips moved and pressed her acupoints.
Jiang was stunned! Wei Ting smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Fifth Sister-in-law."
Jiang was so angry that her eyes were glaring!
You little bastard, how dare you play tricks on me!
It was windy outside, so Chen and Jiang came out to catch him. In order to be more agile, they didn't wear much.
Wei Ting took off his cloak and put it on Jiang.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Sister-in-law Wu. Sister-in-law San will be here in a quarter of an hour at most. Please wait here for a while."
After he said that, he did not forget to move Jiang from a kneeling position to a more comfortable sitting position.
Jiang's eyes followed him fiercely.
Don't let me catch you, little brat, or I'll chop you up as a sacrifice! ——Night falls.
Su Mo sent Su Xiaoxiao back home.
Doctor Fu stayed here, but he didn't need to stay by the bed all the time. Su Mo arranged several trusted doctors to take turns on night duty. If anything happened, they would go to the next room to wake up Doctor Fu in time.
In the carriage, Su Xiaoxiao asked about some matters concerning the Duke of Huguo's Mansion.
Su Mo answered them one by one.
When they were almost at Lihua Lane, they ran into an acquaintance.
"Huh? Who's in there?"
The man asked.
Su Mo opened the curtain: "Second Grandfather, it's me."
He then introduced to Su Xiaoxiao who was standing beside him, "My great-uncle's younger brother."
It was not convenient for Su Mo to reveal Su Xiaoxiao's identity to anyone related to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion for the time being. He got off the carriage, bowed as a junior to the other party, and exchanged a few words of greeting.
Qin Hai must have noticed that there was someone in the carriage, but he didn't ask too much. He just said hello and rode away.
"The old Duke Protector of the Country has a younger brother?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Su Mo lowered the curtain and said, "It's my half-brother. Speaking of which, my uncle disappeared and we couldn't find him after many years of searching. Everyone almost concluded that he had died. The Duke's Mansion couldn't be left without a successor, so my great-uncle planned to pass the position of Duke to Qin Hai. Qin Hai was so scared that he quickly separated and lived on his own."
Not everyone is ambitious and greedy for power.
Qin Hai has been eating, drinking and having fun these years, and has lived a much more carefree life than Qin Canglan, who always has his head tied to his belt.
Su Mo sent Su Xiaoxiao back to Lihua Lane and then left.
Su Cheng was not at home. He and the three little ones went out to buy lamp oil.
Su Ergou was practicing boxing in the yard.
It’s a new set of boxing, taught by the kind old man.
Hearing the noise in the yard, he quickly put away his fist and ran to the main room: "Sister, you're back?"
"Well, have you eaten?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.
"I've eaten." Su Ergou said, "Dad bought me some buns."
The three little ones, who were poisoned by the roasted sweet potatoes, refused to let Old Man Su enter the kitchen again. Old Man Su had no choice but to go to the market and buy some big meat buns.
Su Ergou said, "I left two for you, they're in the hot pot."
Su Xiaoxiao only took one and handed the other to Su Ergou.
"I'm not hungry." Su Ergou refused.
Su Xiaoxiao said, "I'll be hungry soon."
This child is growing and has been getting hungry very quickly recently.
Su Ergou hesitated for a moment and took the bun.
Su Xiaoxiao took a bite of the bun and asked: "Did you buy the things I asked you to buy?"
"I bought it!" Su Ergou said, "Don't worry, I bought it secretly and didn't let Dad see it. But sister, why did you buy that kind of clothes?"
Su Xiaoxiao sat on a small stool, stretched her chubby legs, and said calmly, "Nothing, just meeting someone."
After eating the buns, Su Xiaoxiao went back to her room and changed into the nightgown that Su Ergou had bought: "If dad asks, just tell him I went to the Marquis' Mansion."
Su Ergou: "Oh, sister, be careful."
Su Xiaoxiao nodded.
It was a dark and windy night.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the map she got from Su Mo and successfully found the location of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion.
There was a high wall in front of me, with sharp broken tiles on it. If I tried to climb over it with my bare hands, I would be cut into a bloody mess.
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of the pair of heat-insulating gloves that the pharmacy gave her as a reward.
No way…
Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows strangely and took out the gloves from the small first aid kit tied around her waist.
She first tried the dagger Wei Ting gave her.
Well……
It didn't even get cut.
Su Xiaoxiao disliked it so much at first that she didn't even study its texture carefully. But when she touched it now, she found that its texture was very strange, like it was made up of countless thin, tiny, cold steel wires.
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly laughed.
Who said it's useless? Isn't it useful now?
Su Xiaoxiao put on gloves and took more than ten steps back.
Run up, push against the wall, and jump up!
He held onto the wall covered with sharp rubble, and with the force, he jumped up and fell behind the wall! Phew! The little fat guy can be very flexible! I just checked, 496 votes, only 4 votes away from breaking 500, please help! (End of this chapter)
