Mr. Su looked wronged: "I didn't lie!"
Wei Ting looked at Mr. Su meaningfully.
Old Master Su knelt on the ground and looked at Emperor Jingxuan on the dragon throne: "Your Majesty! I didn't lie! I really don't know him!"
Emperor Jingxuan fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, he thought of something and asked suspiciously, "Wait, I heard that Su Daya has three sons. If she got married at the end of last year, where did the sons come from?"
Wei Ting looked at Grandpa Su again.
Old Master Su said, "You mean Da Hu and the others? They are not the biological children of the Su family. They were brought back by Su Cheng from outside and raised under the names of Su Daya and Wei Xiaolangjun. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to the village to ask. The villagers know it!"
Emperor Jingxuan asked again: "Isn't Young Master Wei's name Wei Ting?"
Mr. Su said, "I only know his last name is Wei, but I don't know whether his name is Wei Ting or not."
Emperor Jingxuan frowned.
Grandpa Su explained, "We country folks don't have much knowledge, we just call each other 'dog eggs' and 'cow eggs'. For a live-in son-in-law who didn't grow up in the village, it's good enough for him to have a name. No one asks for his name, and even if they do, we can't write it."
Eunuch Fu was from the countryside. His family was poor when he was a child, so he was sold to the palace to be a eunuch.
He whispered to Emperor Jingxuan: "It is the same in my village..."
Emperor Jingxuan hesitated for a moment and asked: "Where is this person?"
Eunuch Fu said, "It seems that he has not come to the capital."
"The whole family is here, why isn't he coming?" Emperor Jingxuan looked at Grandpa Su again.
Old Master Su kowtowed quickly: "I was arrested and brought to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion... I don't know what happened to the Su family later..."
Two ordinary people, who hadn't committed any serious crime, couldn't be tortured right away. How would the world view him as an emperor? Emperor Jingxuan pinched his brows and asked Eunuch Quan to take the people away.
When things got to this point, Concubine Xian knew there was no hope.
What is going on?
Is Qin Jiang playing a trick on her? She bit her lip: "Your Majesty..."
Emperor Jingxuan said calmly, "Where did you hear this news? Are you talking about Wei Ting or Young Master Wei?"
What Empress Xian heard was of course Wei Ting, but the old man just now swore that he didn't know Wei Ting -
Seeing that Concubine Xian didn't say anything, Emperor Jingxuan sighed and said, "That's enough. It just happens that her surname is Wei. Don't believe everything you hear in the future."
"Yes, I was reckless." Empress Xian bowed reluctantly.
Emperor Jingxuan said, "Everyone go down."
Concubine Xian said softly: "Your Majesty, I have made chicken soup in my palace..."
"I have no appetite." Emperor Jingxuan rarely showed a trace of impatience towards Concubine Xian.
Concubine Xian gritted her teeth secretly. She had been careful and cautious in every step since she entered the palace for so many years, just to firmly grasp the heart of Emperor Jingxuan.
Now Emperor Jingxuan has been pissed off!
"I'll take my leave." Empress Xian bowed gracefully and walked out of the imperial study with a slender figure.
When there was no one around, she pinched Liu Sande's arm tightly and stomped her foot in anger.
Liu Sande was strangled and gasped.
My Queen, my ancestors, it hurts!
In the imperial study, Emperor Jingxuan looked at Wei Ting calmly: "You too..."
Before Emperor Jingxuan could finish, Wei Ting bowed and said, "I will take my leave."
Emperor Jingxuan choked, glared at Wei Ting coldly, and waved his hand to let Wei Ting leave.
After coming out of the palace, Wei Ting got on the carriage.
The secret guard said, "Master, I just saw the grandparents of the old Su family entering the palace. Have they found out where you are?"
Wei Ting snorted, "Empress Xian."
The secret guard wondered, "Empress Xian? Did the Third Prince do it?"
Wei Ting said thoughtfully: "Xiao Chonghua is not that stupid. If he wanted to expose me, he would have done it a long time ago, and there is no need to wait until now. Besides, the most he dared to do was to expose that I was not in the temple and send someone to the temple to look for me. He dared not say that he had seen me in Qingzhou."
If Xiao Chonghua dared to reveal that he had been to Qingzhou, he would expose Xiao Chonghua's secret search for military tokens. The worst that could happen would be a fight to the death.
The secret guard was stunned: "Third Prince...didn't you tell His Majesty about the military token?"
Wei Ting said calmly: "He wants to embezzle the army for himself, of course he won't let his father know."
The secret guard sighed, "Back in Qingzhou, I was accidentally bumped into by the Third Prince's men... If it weren't for the need to protect the three young masters, you... wouldn't have leaked the news of the military order."
Meeting Xiao Chonghua in Qingzhou was a coincidence. Not only was Wei Ting surprised, Xiao Chonghua was also very surprised.
It is true that Wei Ting went to Qingzhou to get the military order, and it is also true that he went to pick up his child.
In order to protect his three children, Wei Ting chose to put the military token openly.
Xiao Chonghua really believed that his only purpose in coming to Qingzhou was to take back the military token left by his grandfather.
Xiao Chonghua didn't care much about his three children.
The reason why Xiao Chonghua didn't care was, firstly, he had the military power to divert attention, and secondly, Xiao Chonghua knew nothing about some things that happened back then and had no reason to suspect anything.
"Are the three young masters okay?" asked the secret guard.
"It's okay." Wei Ting said.
Since they were "picked up" by the Su family, they have nothing to do with him. Even if Emperor Jingxuan sees the three little guys in the future, he will not easily doubt them.
The secret guard breathed a sigh of relief, but was also very confused: "Why didn't Mr. Su identify the young master?"
Wei Ting brushed his sleeves and said, "Why else?"
Secret Guard: "Why?"
He doesn't know! Lihua Lane.
The three little ones didn’t even take their nap and didn’t come back until the evening. They must have been too excited after watching the opera and were now running around in the yard.
Su Xiaoxiao came back from the Marquis' Mansion and was drying medicinal herbs in front.
Although the three of them were naughty, they would never destroy Su Xiaoxiao's things, so her medicinal herbs were safe.
The corn cobs peeled by Su Laodie and Su Ergou did not receive such treatment.
Swish! Da Hu went over.
A basket of corn cobs turned over.
Whoosh! Erhu, come over here!
A whole bunch of peppers fell off.
Hey! Xiaohu jumped up.
Su Cheng got furious in an instant: "My sauerkraut!!!"
Fortunately, I grabbed it quickly.
The little tiger who jumped into the jar of sauerkraut was hugged by Su Cheng.
After Su Xiaoxiao dried the herbs, she prepared some milk powder.
The three little ones immediately stopped being naughty, took the small bottles with both hands, sat on the small stool and drank the milk, they were very well behaved.
When Wei Ting got home, the three little ones had finished their milk and were taken by Su Cheng to take a bath.
Su Ergou was feeding the horses in the backyard.
Wei Ting walked over, glanced at Su Xiaoxiao who was drying herbs, and asked, "Is it your idea? Or Su Mo's?"
He was referring to the incident in which Mr. Su gave false testimony in the imperial study.
Su Xiaoxiao said innocently: "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
Wei Ting believed that she was crazy. It looked like she had made up her mind.
Wei Ting said: "First, they deliberately let the people of the old Su family go, and let them fall into the hands of Qin Che... No, it was Qin Jiang, so that Qin Jiang thought he had seized an opportunity to turn things around. Su Dalang should not know that it was Old Master Su who made the deal with Su Mo."
Wei Ting is not stupid. Since Xiao Chonghua is ruled out, Qin Jiang is the only one left.
Qin Jiang's goal was not to kill him, but to make Emperor Jingxuan wary by exposing his relationship with the Qin and Su families.
What did Emperor Jingxuan fear the most? A rebellion by the Wei family.
Emperor Jingxuan would never allow the military power of the Qin and Su families to fall into Wei Ting's hands.
This leaves only two options.
1. Emperor Jingxuan broke up the young couple and made Xiao Chonghua marry the real daughter of the Qin family.
Second, the marriage between Xiao Chonghua and Qin Yanran remains unchanged, and the military power is handed over to Qin Jiang.
Taking all factors into consideration, Emperor Jingxuan would choose the latter.
However, Qin Jiang did not expect that she and the Zhenbei Marquisate would take advantage of the situation and clear themselves of all suspicions.
Wei Ting looked at her meaningfully: "Madam, with your brain, it would be a pity if you didn't become a counselor. Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will really send people to the village to investigate?"
Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly: "Let's check. Yu Niang and Guo Lizheng are here. If they find out, I lose...husband."
He called her Madam, so naturally she had to call him Husband in return.
It's a matter of reciprocity.
Wei Ting: "You are so brave."
Su Xiaoxiao: "Same here."
The bolder the people, the more productive the land. Just do it!
This guy is no pushover either.
Su Xiaoxiao tilted her head and looked at him: "So you are really a monk?"
She had already learned from Su Mo about his heroic act of becoming a monk and practicing Buddhism.
Wei Ting said calmly, "No."
He changed the subject: "How did you think of letting Old Master Su say that Da Hu and the others were picked up by your father?"
He seemed to have never mentioned to her the background of the three little ones. Did she guess something?
Su Xiaoxiao said, "I've made it clear in front of the emperor. From now on, my son will be mine!"
Wei Ting's mouth twitched. After all this time... Is this girl just trying to steal his son? ! Wei Ting approached her step by step.
As Su Xiaoxiao was basking in the sun, she suddenly felt a powerful aura surrounding her.
She raised her head blankly and saw Wei Ting was close at hand.
He placed one hand on the wooden stake beside her shoulder and leaned slightly towards her.
Su Xiaoxiao: Is this guy pushing me against the wall? Wei Ting stared at her dangerously, his voice cold and hoarse.
"Then how do you plan to explain to His Majesty the missing 'Young Master Wei'?"
Su Xiaoxiao blinked: "Uh... this..."
In the room, Xiaohu sat in the bathtub and sang a little opera tune with great emotion.
"The young widow is going to visit the grave~ah~ my lover left early~ah~ poor me, only 18 years old~ and with three kids~ah~"
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
Wei Ting: “……!!”
