Wei Ting has a noble status, and isn’t Jing Yi also a favored child of heaven?
His grandfather was Marquis Weiwu, his aunt was Empress Xian, and his father was the Minister of Rites.
Although the Jing family is not a family of military generals, Jing Yi has been gifted since childhood and is a rare talent as a general.
It was impossible for him to marry a woman from the common people.
Not to mention that the woman was married before—
After arriving home, Jing Yi went to pay his respects to his grandfather as usual.
As soon as I reached the door of the study, I heard unusual conversation coming from inside.
"Father, are you serious?"
"The news your sister sent back from the palace early in the morning, how could it be false?"
"This is too... too unexpected."
Jing Yi had no intention of eavesdropping on the conversation of his elders. Since his grandfather and father had something to discuss, he planned to come back tomorrow.
But as soon as he turned around, he heard his grandfather say, "Yes, who would have thought that Qin Che was not the real Protector of the Country, but Su Cheng who came from Qingzhou Township!"
Jing Yi paused.
"Father, what should I do?"
"Your sister is also worried. She asked me to quickly check what happened to that Su Cheng. Could it be that Qin Canglan made a mistake? I have sent people to the Duke of Protecting the Country Mansion and the Marquis of Zhenbei Mansion to inquire carefully during the day. The news has spread throughout the two mansions that Qin Che is indeed not Qin Canglan's biological son, and Qin Canglan has been driven out of the main courtyard, and the token and golden seal have been handed over. He can't keep the position of Duke of Protecting the Country!"
"Then...what about the marriage between the Third Prince and the daughter of the Qin family?"
"If I knew what to do, I would have gone to the palace to see the emperor long ago! But according to investigation, the real Protector of the Country also has a daughter, but it seems that she was married in the countryside."
Jing Yi was stunned. ——Su Xiaoxiao took a nap, and when she woke up, her fever had subsided and her clothes had changed.
Fever will cause sweating, so you don’t have to guess that it was Wei Ting who changed her clothes.
Su Xiaoxiao lowered her head and opened her collar.
Even the bellyband has changed...
This guy is good!
Wei Ting was not in the house.
Su Xiaoxiao touched the side of the bed and found it was cold.
Wei Ting got up early.
Or to be more precise, he hardly slept all night.
Su Xiaoxiao was dizzy with fever, sweating and shivering over and over again until dawn.
Wei Ting didn't have time to rest and had to prepare breakfast.
Fortunately, he was aware of his own cooking skills and did not continue to waste the ingredients in the kitchen. Instead, he went out to buy tofu pudding and steamed buns.
He just entered the room and wanted to see if Su Xiaoxiao had woken up, when he saw a chubby little girl rummaging around on the bed with her eyes wide open, looking around here and there.
"What are you looking for?" he asked.
"Nosebleed!" Su Xiaoxiao said seriously.
Wei Ting: “…”
Wei Ting coughed lightly and just put the things on the table in the main room when the sound of horse hooves was heard outside the house.
A carriage stopped at the door.
"Girl! We are back!"
It was Su Cheng's excited voice.
Yesterday, Qin Canglan took Su Cheng, Su Ergou and the three little ones out for horseback riding. At first, he only planned to find a relatively secluded open space nearby, but later he found that these guys were too noisy and they could not move in an ordinary space.
So, Qin Canglan took people to the Qin family's horse farm.
There are so many good horses on the racecourse that Su Cheng and Su Ergou are dazzled by the choices and wish they could try every one of them.
The three little ones were not idle either. The servants at the stable brought them trained ponies, put children's saddles on them, and had the servants lead them for a leisurely ride on the stable.
The three little ones raised their little chins, looking so proud.
They were having so much fun that they forgot about time. When the three little ones started looking for their mother, it started raining heavily again.
Sanxiao missed his mother so much, Su Cheng and Su Ergou also missed their daughter (sister), so they all rushed back without eating.
The three little ones jumped down anxiously.
Qin Canglan was startled and got off the horse before them, and quickly caught the three little kids in his arms.
The gate opened.
Qin Canglan put down the army of little dumplings and turned around to go see his precious granddaughter.
But they looked into each other's eyes.
Qin Canglan was shocked.
"Weiting?"
Wei Ting was also stunned.
He came to open the door after hearing Old Man Su's voice, but he forgot that Old Man Su and his group went out with Qin Canglan yesterday.
Wei Ting knew about Qin Canglan's existence, but Qin Canglan didn't know about Wei Ting.
There was only the granddaughter at home, and Wei Ting suddenly appeared here...
Wei Ting came to assassinate his granddaughter? !
Qin Canglan was full of murderous intent and slapped Wei Ting with his palm!
Wei Ting took a step back to avoid his fatal move.
Qin Canglan chased him in and the two started fighting in the yard.
Qin Canglan was serious. He had finally been reunited with his son's family. He would kill anyone who dared to hurt his precious granddaughter!
Wei Ting focuses on defense.
In a flash, the two had exchanged more than ten moves.
Qin Canglan said coldly: "As expected of Wei Wei's grandson...you have some skills. Next, I will get serious!"
He concentrated his energy into his dantian and gathered all his internal strength.
Wei Ting's eyes darkened slightly.
Qin Canglan is very skilled in martial arts, so I must attack him head-on with this move.
Wei Ting changed his palm into a fist and met Qin Canglan's killing move.
Suddenly, Su Cheng walked in strangely: "Son-in-law, Uncle Qin, what are you two doing?"
Daughter, son-in-law? Qin Canglan was so shocked that he froze.
Wei Ting wanted to withdraw his hand, but it was too late.
He punched Qin Canglan in the face——
Su Cheng was horrified and ran over in panic.
"Are you okay, son-in-law?"
He held Wei Ting's shoulders with both hands, looked him up and down, and was extremely worried.
Qin Canglan: ...It seems like I was the one who got beaten?
Wei Ting said: "Dad, I'm fine."
Qin Canglan looked at Wei Ting in refusal: "What did you call him?"
Su Cheng said angrily: "He calls me dad! I am his son-in-law! No! He is my son-in-law!"
Look how angry he is, he even lost his tongue!
Qin Canglan's body trembled: "He...he is Daya's...husband?"
What the hell? Why would his grandson-in-law be a stinky kid from the Wei family?!
This can't be true! Da Hu, Er Hu, and Xiao Hu ran in and called to Wei Ting in a baby voice, "Dad."
There will be another one later
