Qin Canglan hates taking medicine.
But this was handed over by the granddaughter, and it is very likely that she made it herself.
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and poured the medicine down his stomach with a fearless attitude.
Su Xiaoxiao took the empty bowl and reminded him, "Your head injury needs to be observed overnight."
Qin Canglan's eyes lit up: "You mean I can sleep here tonight?"
Su Xiaoxiao hummed.
Concussion is no small matter and must be observed.
Su Xiaoxiao treated Qin Canglan as a patient, so she was very calm from beginning to end.
Qin Canglan couldn't remain calm.
Suddenly finding out that the son I had raised for many years was not my biological son was an understatement. It was like a bolt from the blue.
His mind was still buzzing at the moment, and he used great self-control to maintain his composure.
"that……"
He opened his mouth, somewhat unsure of how to begin.
The old general who killed people without blinking an eye on the battlefield became at a loss in front of a little girl.
Su Xiaoxiao packed up and was about to go out, but Qin Canglan made up his mind and called her: "Daya?"
This is their name, right? He asked the old monkey. The sister's name is Su Daya and the brother's name is Su Ergou. What a coincidence, they are the same age as Qin Yanran.
Thinking of Qin Yanran and Qin Yun, there was a hint of coldness in Qin Canglan's eyes.
If Su Cheng is the real Qin Che, then what about the one in the mansion?
As soon as he thought about how all his efforts over the years were a calculation, he realized that he was raising strangers' children, while his own flesh and blood were left to wander among the people, starving and freezing, living a beggar's life.
He felt deep hatred in his heart!
He hated the person who plotted against him, and he also hated himself! "What's the matter?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Qin Canglan looked at Su Xiaoxiao nervously: "That...that...that what...I...I...I..."
He stuttered!
Su Xiaoxiao tilted her head: "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
"No!" He tensed up solemnly and tried to sit up, but was defeated by a headache and dizziness.
With a mixture of anxiety and trepidation, he said to Su Xiaoxiao hesitantly, "I am your grandfather, your father, and Su Cheng... is my biological son!"
Finally he said it! Then his face turned red.
The last time he was so flustered was when he got married to Su Huayin.
In the blink of an eye, most of my life has passed.
He was afraid that if he didn't say it, it would be too late.
"Oh, I know." Su Xiaoxiao said.
Qin Canglan was stunned.
Little girl...what do you mean? She, she already knew?
The old monkey didn’t say anything!
Qin Canglan greeted Su Shuo seventy or eighty times in his heart, and then his eyes fell on Su Xiaoxiao's face again: "Can you..."
Can I call him grandfather? Forget it. Such a big thing has happened, and he hasn't digested the truth yet, let alone a little girl?
Should give her more time.
"Your father... and Ergou..."
Su Xiaoxiao understood what he wanted to ask: "They don't know, my dad can't remember anything before he was six years old. When he remembers, he gets sick, which is very painful. When he wakes up, he forgets everything again. Before I find a suitable treatment, you'd better not provoke him."
"I...I understand."
Qin Canglan agreed with difficulty.
A strong sense of self-blame surged in his heart.
A six-year-old child lost everything overnight and went from being a young master of a duke's mansion to a cowherd in the countryside.
How did he bear it? Qin Canglan felt a pain in his heart like being tortured.
His throat was swollen: "These years... you have suffered..."
Su Xiaoxiao said nothing more and prepared to go out with her small medicine box.
"Oh, right." Qin Canglan took out a small stone from his arms, "This is Erhu's. He forgot it on me."
Su Xiaoxiao took the small stone and left the house.
Su Ergou went to sleep in Old Man Su's room. The three little ones were in her room, and Wei Ting was there too.
The three little ones slept too much during the day, so they are not sleepy now and are rolling around on the bed!
"Erhu, your stone." Su Xiaoxiao handed him the small stone.
Erhu said, "I'll give you a big great grandfather."
Su Xiaoxiao said: "He asked me to return it to you."
Erhu thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
He happily accepted the small stone! He decided to give his great grandfather a big one next time he had the chance!
The three little ones called him great-grandfather, not because they knew Qin Canglan's identity. Su Cheng became a grandfather early, and in the countryside, when they met someone older than him, the little ones would call him great-grandfather.
Relying on his unique appearance, Qin Canglan successfully has the longest title - big great-grandfather.
"It's time to go to bed." Wei Ting said to the three kids.
The three of them didn't sleep.
Su Xiaoxiao said to Wei Ting: "Come out for a moment, I have something to tell you."
The two of them came outside and left the door ajar.
The rain has stopped.
The air was filled with a scent mixed with rain, soil and vegetation.
Su Xiaoxiao scratched his head with his chubby hands: "Um... you should know who my father is."
"Su Mo said so." Wei Ting looked very calm, as if what Su Mo mentioned was not worth mentioning in his eyes.
Su Xiaoxiao added: "Then, there was a person lying in Ergou's room. It was Qin Canglan."
Wei Ting: “…”
There was a murderous look in Wei Ting's eyes.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him without blinking. There was such murderous intent in his eyes, and the grudge between them must be huge.
"Are you angry?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.
"No..." Wei Ting retorted subconsciously, paused, and then said, "I'm not angry with you. It's the grudges of the older generation. It has nothing to do with you."
The little girl has never eaten a grain of rice from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion and the Huguo Duke Mansion since she was born. What does the feud between the two families have to do with her? Su Xiaoxiao said, "Oh." She didn't think it had much to do with her.
She is a lonely soul from another world. She accepted Old Man Su and Su Ergou because they are people who depend on each other.
If the Qin family and the Su family are good, it would be icing on the cake; if they are not good, she might as well not recognize them.
No matter what, she will support this family.
In the night, Su Xiaoxiao looked at him quietly: "Can I ask, what is the grudge between the Wei family and the Qin and Su families?"
Wei Ting hesitated for a moment and whispered, "When the late emperor was alive, there was no crown prince, and the princes fought openly and secretly for the throne. The Wei family was loyal to the late emperor's eldest son, Prince Nanyang, and the Su family was loyal to Prince Ruyang. The Qin family did not stand on either side at first, but after the marriage with the Su family, they also became supporters of Prince Ruyang."
Su Xiaoxiao said: "It sounds like... everyone is serving their own master and pursuing their own policies."
Su Xiaoxiao's conversation was definitely not like that of a country girl. This was an observation Wei Ting would make from time to time no matter how long he had been with her.
Although he taught her some words, he did not teach her the so-called articles and great principles.
"Who became the emperor later?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.
"King Ruyang." Wei Ting said.
Su Xiaoxiao asked: "Did the Wei family choose the wrong side?"
"I guess so." Wei Ting said, "After Prince Ruyang ascended the throne, he has always wanted to take back the military power of the Wei family."
Su Xiaoxiao asked: "Did you take it back?"
Wei Ting looked at the boundless sky, a dark current flashed in his eyes: "I took back some."
After all, they are the old subordinates of King Nanyang, so it is not surprising that the emperor holds a grudge against the Wei family.
Su Xiaoxiao asked again: "Did it get divided between the Qin family and the Su family?"
"There is also the Leng family." Wei Ting said, "The Leng family and the Wei family are in the same camp, so it can be considered that the benefits are not lost to outsiders."
Su Xiaoxiao frowned: "If it's just a political disagreement..."
“More than that.” Wei Ting said.
But he didn't say what specific grudges there were that could not be resolved.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't force him.
She could see that he was in a bad mood, and being able to tolerate Qin Canglan living under the same roof was already his biggest concession.
"That's right."
Wei Ting hesitated for a moment, but still told what he had just learned, "Guardians from the Duke of Huguo's Mansion have been here, and they don't look like Qin Canglan's men."
If they were Qin Canglan's men, they would definitely be guarding near Qin Canglan at this moment.
Wei Ting said: "There is one more thing, maybe you also need to know."
Su Xiaoxiao was stunned and asked, "What?"
"Qin Canglan was originally going to stay at a farm outside the city today. It was Qin Che who asked him to go. I don't know why he ended up in Lihua Lane halfway."
After seeing the strange guard, Wei Ting asked the secret guard to secretly follow him and went to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion to investigate. He found out some of Qin Canglan's movements.
Su Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment: "He... should be here to return Erhu's little stone."
Many things that could not be explained are now clear.
It turned out that Erhu had brought people here by accident.
Wei Ting glanced at her and warned her, "Be careful, maybe Qin Che already knows about Dad's existence."
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him meaningfully: "You call me daddy very easily."
Wei Ting said coldly, "Let's talk business."
"Oh," Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, "You just call it for your own good!"
Wei Ting: “…”
