After Qin Jiang's life story spreads, Qin Jiang himself will inevitably be questioned by the world, but if Qin Jiang can defeat Qin Canglan's legitimate son and prove with his strength that he is more qualified than Su Cheng to inherit the real power, then those who question him will have to shut up.

After all, it’s not that the emperor doesn’t give his legitimate son a chance.

It's the legitimate son who is not living up to expectations.

Even if Zhuge Liang were to teach Adou, he would not be able to do anything.

The old marquis was puzzled: "Why did His Majesty suddenly favor Qin Jiang so much?"

Qin Canglan frowned and said, "Marquis Weiwu came to the palace to see His Majesty last night."

The mighty Hou Jing Shengming, Jing Yi's grandfather and Xiao Chonghua's maternal grandfather.

Qin Canglan continued, "I guess he persuaded His Majesty to temporarily hand over the military power to Qin Jiang."

"Jing Shengming, you old fox!" The old marquis clenched his fist, "What are your plans next? In a month, will you really let Cheng'er compete with Qin Jiang? You should know that Cheng'er has no chance of winning."

The old marquis never asked what the competition was about.

Unless it's a competition of eating rice, Su Cheng is really no match for Qin Jiang.

Qin Canglan said that Qin Jiang was weak, but that was compared with Qin Canglan. What kind of abnormal master is Qin Canglan?

How many people are not weak in front of him? It is true that Qin Jiang's aptitude is not top-notch, but after all, the two governments have cultivated him for twenty years. No matter how talented Su Cheng is, it is impossible for him to catch up with him in a month.

The old marquis asked, "Does it have to be Cheng'er?"

Qin Canglan thought for a moment and said, "Ergou is fine. He is Cheng'er's son. If he can beat Qin Jiang, His Majesty should have nothing to say. But Ergou is only fourteen... How can he be a match for Qin Jiang?"

The old marquis's expression became serious: "Old Qin, the military power must not be handed over."

Qin Canglan nodded: "I understand."

If they hand it over, the Qin family will be the next Wei family.

The old marquis closed his eyes and said, "This month, work hard to teach Cheng'er. If it really comes to that... I will adopt the fifth child to Cheng'er!"

Lao Wu, who was on his way back to Beijing, sneezed violently!

This is the second time I've sneezed like crazy this month.

Did his family members nag him too much? -- Su Cheng didn't know that he was about to be tortured by the two big men. Before dawn, he went to the kitchen to help his daughter with dark circles under his eyes.

Yesterday, Chunfenglou received another order of business. This time, the order was not because of Su Cheng's appearance, but because the snacks made by Su Xiaoxiao last time were so popular.

The girls in Chunfeng Tower complained that it was not Su Cheng who delivered the goods, and they were determined not to do business with him again. However, they were slapped in the face within a few days.

Su Xiaoxiao agreed to supply 200 pieces every day, starting from April 1st.

It happened that April 1st was the day when Su Ergou went to study at the Imperial College, so he naturally couldn't go to help Su Xiaoxiao.

"Dad, why are you up so early?" Su Xiaoxiao, who was kneading dough in the kitchen, looked up and saw Su Cheng walking in with sleepy eyes.

Su Cheng yawned: "I'll make snacks with you."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "No need, there are only two hundred, I can handle it, you go to sleep."

Su Cheng shook his head like a rattle and patted his face to wake himself up: "I'll go back to sleep later."

He refused to leave no matter what, so Su Xiaoxiao had to agree to let him stay and help.

Even though he always slacks off at work on weekdays, it's because Wei Ting and Su Ergou are around. If he doesn't work, he can count on his son-in-law and son to do it.

When he was the only helper left by Su Xiaoxiao's side, he still worked very hard.

His face was blackened by the stove ash.

"Huh? Aren't you only going to make 200?" He had just counted and found that they were enough, but his daughter went to knead new dough.

Su Xiaoxiao put the kneaded dough into the bowl and said, "Ergou is growing and will get hungry quickly. I'll make him a few boxes of snacks to take with him."

Su Cheng's nose suddenly felt a little sour.

The two children lost their mother and grew up with many setbacks... The daughter is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't know what Old Man Su was thinking. She cut a piece of pickled mustard greens and said, "I'll make some for Dad, too."

"Hmm?" Su Cheng didn't respond. "What are you going to make for me? I don't have to worry about food at home."

His eyes fell on a few exquisite small wooden bowls with lids. "What are these for?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "It's for Dahu, Erhu and Xiaohu."

"oh."

The little ones were picky about their tableware when eating, but Su Cheng didn't take it to heart.

After breakfast, Su Mo and his two younger brothers came to the door.

Su Qi and Su Yu were also studying in the Imperial College. When they learned that Su Ergou was also going to enter the Imperial College, they insisted on following him.

The three little ones were playing in the yard.

Su Mo is a frequent visitor to the house. The three little ones are familiar with him, but Su Yu and Su Qi are strangers.

They only visited once in the countryside and never spoke to the three little kids, so the three little kids didn't remember them at all.

"Who are you?" Erhu asked.

"Is he a bad guy?" Xiaohu asked.

The two brothers were happy.

Su Qi asked with amusement: "Do we look like bad guys?"

Xiaohu tilted his head and looked at them carefully.

Erhu said calmly, "That's not necessarily true."

After thinking for a while, Erhu said again, "My little stone knows the bad guy."

"ha."

Su Qi and Su Yu laughed at the same time.

Su Yu smiled and said, "Really? Let me see your little stone."

Erhu took out his beloved little stone: "Here, touch it and it will know whether you are a bad person or not."

Su Yu touched it.

Just an ordinary pebble, nothing special.

You little guys are a little poor. Will your brother give you a real gem someday?

No, it seems that he is not my brother, but my uncle.

"Now that I've touched it, how does it know if I'm a bad person?" Su Yu said.

Erhu said seriously: "Bad guys touch it for free, they don't pay."

Su Yu: “…” - Regarding Su Ergou’s schooling, Su Xiaoxiao directly explained that it was the people from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion who helped.

Su Cheng was very hospitable to the people in Zhenbei Marquis Mansion and invited the three brothers to eat the burnt sweet potatoes he had roasted this morning.

Su Mo, adhering to the principle of caring for his younger brothers, shared his sweet potatoes with his two younger brothers.

Su Qi and Su Yu wanted to emulate Kong Rong's example of giving away the pears.

Su Mo used his elder brother's power to pressure him: "Elder brother is like a father, the gift from the elder cannot be refused."

So, after being robbed by Erhu, the two brothers encountered Su Cheng's dark cooking.

Today is also the day when he resumes his studies at the Imperial College.

Ever since his father lost his identity as Qin Che, not only did Qin Jiang move out of the main courtyard, but he and Qin Yanran also moved and moved to the West Mansion with the Qin family.

Although it is also in the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion, it is not on the central axis. The courtyard is half the size and there are a dozen fewer servants.

How could Qin Yun, who was used to a good life, bear this grievance? Was he complaining about the dim light in the room or the taste of the food?

The servants did not indulge him, and he could eat or not eat, or stay or not stay as he pleased.

Do you really think you are still a young master?

"snort!"

Qin Yun got on the carriage angrily.

Even the carriages are no longer the spacious and bright ones they used to be.

It was small and crowded, and there was not even a piece of tiger skin on the stool, which hurt his butt.

"Dad, sister."

He sat down opposite Qin Yanran with a feeling of grievance, and then began to complain about the servants' neglect.

Qin Jiang sat on a stool facing the car curtain, with the siblings sitting on either side.

Compared to Qin Yun who always complains, Qin Yanran seems to be much more sensible.

When she first learned about her father's background, she suffered a great shock. She could not accept that she had gone from being the daughter of a noble Duke to the daughter of a bastard.

She cried secretly for several nights.

Fortunately, her father told her that their hard days would soon be over.

"When Dad takes back the military power, Dad will still be the real heir to the Qin family! That legitimate son can only hold the title in name only!"

Her father's words successfully comforted her.

She believed that her father's abilities would not be inferior to those of a farmer who grew up in the countryside.

The current hardship is only temporary. It won't be long before she can once again become the envied daughter of the capital.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the Imperial College.

"Study hard." Qin Jiang said to Qin Yun.

Qin Yun muttered: "I don't want to go to class..."

Qin Yun is not a diligent person. Whether he is studying or practicing martial arts, he is inconsistent and can always find various excuses to excuse himself.

In the past, Qin Jiang might not have been able to be ruthless, but now that he felt a sense of crisis, Qin Jiang decided not to indulge him anymore.

"You don't have to go if you don't want to. Just pack your things and go back to the countryside! Don't even think about coming to the capital in your lifetime!"

Qin Yun's face turned pale with fright.

Qin Yanran smoothed things over and said to Qin Yun, "Go ahead, I'll pick you up later."

Qin Yun picked up his school bag and left with a pale face.

Looking at his son's red eyes when he got off the car, Qin Jiang felt a little regretful.

He said self-reproachfully, "Do you also think I'm going too far?"

Qin Yanran shook her head gently: "Father is also doing this for my brother's good."

Qin Jiang nodded with relief: "Father suffered too much when he was a child, so I thought that I must not let you and Yun'er suffer anymore. I never thought that I was too indulgent and actually spoiled Yun'er. Fortunately, you have always been sensible."

Qin Yanran said softly: "My brother is just still young. When he grows up, he will naturally understand things."

Qin Jiang sighed, "I hope so. You should teach him more when you have nothing to do in the future."

Qin Yanran agreed: "I will, father."

Qin Jiang said with satisfaction: "Let's go, I'll take you to learn the piano."

Qin Yanran didn't say anything.

"What's wrong?" Qin Jiang noticed his daughter's low mood.

Qin Yanran asked sadly, "Father, can I still marry the Third Prince? The servants are saying that the Third Prince's fiancée is that young lady from the common people..."

Qin Jiang said coldly: "What nonsense! How can a wild girl who grew up in the countryside be worthy of the son of a phoenix and the grandson of a dragon? Only a girl like my son who is both talented and beautiful is qualified to be the prince's consort!"

Qin Yanran bit her lip: "But father..."

Qin Jiang said sternly, "Don't say buts. She has already married in the countryside and has three sons. The Third Prince won't even look at her! Don't worry, Dad will definitely get the military power! Let you marry into the royal family with honor!"

He had just finished speaking.

boom--

The carriage was hit hard by something unknown.

Qin Jiang hurriedly lifted the small curtain at the back of the car.

He saw a face that was so handsome that it was hated by everyone.

Wei Ting was dressed in a dark brocade robe, riding on a tall horse, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, and his whole body exuded the unruly and arrogant aura of a devil.

Qin Jiang frowned: "Wei Ting?"

"Hey." Wei Ting sneered and glanced at Qin Jiang. He grabbed a young man passing by and pointed at him with his whip. "Help me see, is this the carriage of the Duke of the Guardian's Mansion?"

The young man was so surprised that he nodded repeatedly: "Uh... yes... yes!"

Wei Ting let go of the young man and smiled arrogantly: "Then I didn't hit him wrongly."

So this guy hit his carriage because he aimed at it? Qin Jiang said in a deep voice: "What do you want to do?"

Wei Ting held the horse whip in his hand, tapped his shoulder lightly, and said arrogantly: "A good dog doesn't block the road."

Qin Jiang said coldly: "The road is so wide, who is blocking your way..."

No, who the hell is a dog? ! "Wei Ting, don't be so arrogant, do you really think that the capital is--"

Before Qin Jiang could finish his words, Wei Ting tightened the reins and rode his horse forward!

There was a loud bang, dust flew up, and the horse's iron hooves trampled Qin Jiang's carriage.

The horses pulling the cart were startled and ran forward suddenly.

Qin Jiang lost his balance and fell sideways to the ground.

"Father--"

Qin Yanran was horrified! She wanted to catch it, but it was too late.

She watched helplessly as her father fell into a pile of broken wood chips...

The splinters of wood cut his flesh.

However, this is not the most frightening thing, because in the next second——

Crack! Qin Jiang's ribs were broken.

Brother Ting: Dad, don’t worry about the competition. I’ll let him go with a disability.

Su Cheng: o(*￣︶￣*)o 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
