At the beginning, Su Xiaoxiao also speculated that Qin Hai was Qin Che's biological father.
It wasn't until she got the test results from the pharmacy that she realized what was going on.
Many things that were previously incomprehensible now have explanations.
For example, why does Qin Che look like a member of the Qin family? Because he is.
For example, why did Qin's mother treat Ruan Xianglian and her son so mercilessly? It's not too strange that she doesn't like Ruan Xianglian, but Qin Che is her grandson after all. How could she be willing to send her grandson away?
If it was an illegitimate child born to a love rival, then it would make sense.
Mother Qin wanted to kill that little bastard, right? Of course, the person Mother Qin wanted to kill the most was Ruan Xianglian.
In order to stay in the Qin family, Ruan Xianglian tried every means possible. When she failed to seduce the young Qin Canglan, she slept with Qin's father who was in his prime. It would be strange if Qin's mother could tolerate her.
Ruan Xianglian killed Su Huayin and outlasted Qin's mother and Qin Canglan's second wife, but she never lived to see the day when she was taken back to the Qin Mansion by her son.
It's also retribution.
…
Qin Canglan and Qin Hai, the two brothers in distress, supported each other and got on the carriage back.
The son whom I had raised and loved for so many years turned out to be my younger brother.
Where the hell can I go to seek justice? For Qin Canglan, the biggest blow has already passed.
In his heart, the most important things are his biological son and two precious grandchildren. At his age, half of his body is already buried in the ground, and he doesn’t know how many more years he can love them.
He didn't want to let them suffer any more injustice.
"I'll go to the palace." Qin Canglan said to the distraught Qin Hai, "You have made this mess yourself, so you have to fix it yourself. Tell him everything about his life!"
"Why should I say it?" Qin Hai suffered a huge blow. He was not as decisive and arbitrary as Qin Canglan, nor was he like Qin Canglan who had never had any feelings for Ruan Xianglian.
He truly loved that woman.
I treated you as my sweetheart, but you slept with my father——
Wow——
Qin Hai wanted to burst into tears——
…
After Su Cheng finished bathing the three little ones, he went back to the room to wash himself and change into clean clothes.
Su Xiaoxiao helped the three of them put on clothes. Dahu and Erhu cooperated well, but Xiaohu slipped away.
He ran to the other side of the bed, with a cloth tied around his waist to cover his shy little butt.
He was running around on the bed.
The child is really not afraid of the cold. It was the end of March, it was raining heavily and the wind was howling, but the little guy was sweating all over on the bed.
Su Xiaoxiao caught the man and quickly wiped the sweat off his face.
When Wei Ting got home, Dahu and Erhu had gone to play with Su Ergou, leaving the naked Xiaohu in Su Xiaoxiao's arms to help her put on her clothes.
"Put it on yourself!" Wei Ting said seriously.
"No!" Xiaohu turned around, threw himself into Su Xiaoxiao's arms, and gave his stinky daddy a little butt.
Su Xiaoxiao put clothes on the little guy, sniffed, and asked Wei Ting: "Have you been drinking?"
Wei Ting said calmly, "No."
Su Xiaoxiao frowned: "But you smell like alcohol."
Wei Ting looked calm: "Oh, someone spilled it accidentally."
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him suspiciously: "Really? Why don't I believe it?"
Wei Ting asked coldly: "What do you mean?"
Su Xiaoxiao covered Xiaohu's ears with her hands and said to Wei Ting, "I thought you wanted to take advantage of the alcohol and sneak into my room in the middle of the night to do something indecent to me!"
Wei Ting chuckled, "How is that possible? If anyone wants to do something wrong, it's you who wants to do it to me."
As he spoke, as if to enhance the persuasiveness of his words, he cited evidence, "Don't you see how many times you took off my clothes when we were in the countryside?"
Su Xiaoxiao coughed and said, "It seems so."
Xiaohu raised his head curiously, looked at his mother, then turned to look at his father. He didn't understand why his mother was covering his little ears.
Su Xiaoxiao let go: "The ears are so beautiful."
Xiaohu tugged at his ears in agreement and shook his head proudly: "Yes, Xiaofu's ears are really pretty!"
Wei Ting's mouth twitched.
His eyes inadvertently swept over and fell on the open music case, which contained a Luan Zheng that exuded an ancient atmosphere.
Looks somewhat familiar.
"Bought a piano?" he asked.
Su Xiaoxiao said, "A neighbor gave Xiaohu a gift. He said Xiaohu has a talent for playing the piano. I think he wants to take Xiaohu as his apprentice, right?"
When Xiaohu heard his mother talking about him, he jumped up and hopped around on the bed to declare his sovereignty.
"My harp! My harp! My harp!"
"Okay, okay, it's yours." Su Xiaoxiao pulled the man over again and put pants on him.
Xiaohu said in a baby voice: "Mother, please help me put the zither away. Mother can touch it, but Dahu and Erhu, you can't touch it!"
When he said the last sentence, he did not forget to wave his little hands seriously.
Su Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "Okay, I'll put it away for you."
Let Da Hu know how stingy you are, and he will punish you later.
Wei Ting looked away.
After all, in this world, there shouldn't be anyone who would casually give the world's best zither - Jiufeng - to a chubby little kid as a greeting gift.
For dinner, there was Xiaohu’s favorite “pig balls”, and he ate several of them while shaking his head.
"Is it delicious?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Little Tiger lifted his little head from the small bowl and said with a look of enjoyment, "Gaga, delicious!"
After dinner, the rain stopped.
The three little ones took advantage of no one's attention and rushed into the yard to step on the water, just like three little Georges jumping into a mud puddle.
When Old Man Su came out and took a look, he collapsed instantly.
He pressed his head with both hands and roared like a dragon: "I just gave you a bath--" -The palace.
It was late at night, and Emperor Jingxuan was still reviewing memorials in the imperial study.
Eunuch Fu came over holding a whisk, bowed and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, do you want to make some accommodation?"
"Has the rain stopped?" asked Emperor Jingxuan.
"It has stopped." said Eunuch Fu. "Look at the weather. It might rain again soon."
Emperor Jingxuan said, "There is a lot of rain this year."
Eunuch Fu said hurriedly: "Yes, there wasn't so much rain in previous years."
Emperor Jingxuan looked worried: "I wonder if the people in the countryside are also experiencing heavy rains."
Spring rain is a good thing and is beneficial to farming, but too much rain is not good either as it will flood fertile fields and may even cause severe waterlogging.
A young eunuch came over carrying a food box.
Eunuch Fu took the food box, took out the snacks inside and placed them on the emperor's table.
Emperor Jingxuan was not indulgent in diet. He only ate until he was 60% to 70% full for three meals a day. Sometimes, if he was reviewing memorials late, he would have a small midnight snack.
Dim sum again.
Emperor Jingxuan took a bite casually.
This taste...seems different from what I've had before.
He ate four pieces in a row, and even Eunuch Fu was stunned.
"Which chef made this?" Emperor Jingxuan asked, "Reward."
Eunuch Fu said, "It was not made by the imperial kitchen, but sent from Kunning Palace."
Emperor Jingxuan paused for a moment and asked, "Empress?"
The empress and Emperor Jingxuan were young couples. After Emperor Jingxuan ascended the throne, he made her empress. However, she was not favored and had few children, only Princess Jingning.
Emperor Jingxuan sighed and said, "Go to Kunning Palace."
In Kunning Palace, the queen was about to take a rest.
She asked the maid beside her: "Have you delivered the snacks to Jingning?"
"It has been sent." said the little palace maid.
Gao Dabao, who had just returned to report, was stunned: "Is it for His Highness?"
Oh my god! He sent it to the Imperial Study!
"His Majesty has arrived——"
…
"Is His Majesty coming?"
Inside Qixiang Palace, Concubine Xian heard the noise outside the door and hurriedly adjusted the pearl flowers on her temples.
She was wearing a slim-fitting ice silk nightgown, with a light touch of powder on her cheeks, a light touch of black on her eyebrows, and a touch of lip balm on her lips.
At first glance, you would think she is a natural beauty.
The young eunuch came forward slowly and reported: "Your Majesty, His Majesty will rest in Kunning Palace tonight."
Empress Xian's face changed: "What?! It's neither the first day nor the fifteenth day of the lunar month. What is your Majesty going to Kunning Palace for? Didn't that woman fall out of favor a long time ago?!"
The young eunuch didn't dare to breathe.
Concubine Xian said coldly: "Go to Kunning Palace and tell her that I am not feeling well. Report to the Queen and ask her to allow me to invite an imperial physician."
"yes."
The young eunuch went there in a hurry.
When the Queen heard that Concubine Xian was ill, she hurriedly urged Emperor Jingxuan to come and see her.
Unfortunately, the emperor was intercepted halfway through his journey.
"Your Majesty, the old Duke Protector of the Country requests an audience!"
Emperor Jingxuan pinched his swollen brows and said, "It's so late and it's raining heavily, what is he doing here?"
The eunuch said, "It is said that there is something important to report."
Emperor Jingxuan frowned and said, "Go to the Imperial Study and tell Concubine Xian that I will visit her tomorrow."
In the imperial study, Emperor Jingxuan met Qin Canglan who came in the rain.
Qin Canglan came to see the emperor, so naturally he had to pay attention to his appearance. His shirt and shoes were soaked, but his clothes were not in disarray.
The emperor asked amiably, "Lord Qin, why are you entering the palace so late? What do you have to report?"
Qin Canglan pulled up his skirt and knelt down, saying, "Your Majesty, the son of me and Huayin...is back!"
