Chapter 245: Telling the Story (Update 1)



The evening breeze brings a chill to the heart.

Su Mo, wearing a silver cloak, stood quietly beside the carriage at the palace gate.

The daughters of wealthy families came out one after another and couldn't help but cast their gazes at him.

Young Master Su is a man of both civil and military talents, as elegant as jade, and of noble birth. He is highly regarded by Emperor Jingxuan. Which girl in the world would not want to marry such a man? The daughters were so embarrassed.

Su Xiaoxiao walked slowly behind the crowd.

Suddenly, a young lady came a few steps behind and took the initiative to talk to her: "Miss Qin, how did you do in the exam today?"

"My last name is Su." Su Xiaoxiao said.

"Ah." The rich girl was stunned.

Su Xiaoxiao had no intention of making friends with anyone, so she walked away calmly.

Not long after, another young lady came over and said, "Miss Su, is this your first time in the palace? You played chess very well today. I heard that you almost won."

You seem to be watching Qin Yanran's chess game the whole time, right? Su Xiaoxiao glanced at her and noticed her slightly red cheeks and slightly flickering eyes.

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Su Mo again and understood.

Did they treat her as a tool? Seven or eight rich girls came over and chatted with Su Xiaoxiao enthusiastically. If you didn't know, you would think Su Xiaoxiao was some new favorite of the group.

Su Xiaoxiao came in front of Su Mo.

The ladies greeted Su Mo shyly: "Mr. Su."

Su Mo returned the gift politely, not being cold nor overly enthusiastic, retaining the self-restraint that a child of an aristocratic family should have.

"Get in the car." Su Mo said to Su Xiaoxiao.

He turned around, lifted the curtain, reached out his hand, and helped Su Xiaoxiao into the carriage.

Not far away, Qin Yanran watched Su Mo not shy away from suspicion and had a close relationship with Su Xiaoxiao, and she couldn't help but clench the handkerchief in her hand.

When she was Su Mo's cousin, Su Mo never overstepped the mark.

Strictly speaking, this is not an overstep. The two families are relatives, and Su Mo's care for Su Xiaoxiao is that of a brother and sister, without any other consideration.

But the more this happened, the more Qin Yanran felt the huge gap.

It turns out that Su Mo can be so nice to someone.

You can ignore rules, disregard your status, and don't be afraid of gossip.

"Miss, get in the car."

Xu Qing's voice came from behind.

Qin Yanran looked at the Su family's carriage and murmured, "Young Master Su has been waiting outside the palace. Hasn't he left?"

"Yes." Xu Qing said.

Qin Yanran felt a little aggrieved: "Is she really that good?"

Xu Qing didn't respond.

In the carriage, Su Mo handed Su Xiaoxiao a water bag.

Su Xiaoxiao was indeed thirsty.

"Thanks." She took it and gulped down a few big gulps.

Su Mo looked at her eating and drinking whenever she wanted, never worrying about ruining her image, and couldn't help laughing and asked, "Is there no water to drink in the palace?"

Su Xiaoxiao sighed, "Yes, but is it for people to drink? It's for viewing, right?"

Only a small cup was brought in at a time, and the other daughters only took a sip to moisten their throats before putting the cup back.

She drank it all, but it wasn't enough to quench her thirst.

Su Mo smiled: "Drink slowly, there's more."

Su Xiaoxiao agreed: "Yes."

Su Mo asked, "What did you take the test on?"

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment: "Qinqi calligraphy and painting... playing chess."

Su Mo opened a can of walnuts and asked, "How did you do on the exam?"

Su Xiaoxiao picked up a walnut kernel and said, "Very good."

Su Mo: You never speak the truth.

After Su Mo sent Su Xiaoxiao back to Lihua Lane, he went to deal with the official business that had been delayed during the day.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, but she understood it in her heart.

Su Mo didn't really have nothing to do. He was worried that something unexpected might happen when he entered the palace for the first time, so he could rush there as soon as possible.

Su Xiaoxiao took the three kids back.

The three little ones had a very pleasant day. They learned piano in the morning (troubled their master) and went to the orchard in the afternoon (troubled their master).

Together with the foal, continue to torment the master.

"Goodbye, Master!"

"Goodbye, Master!"

"Goodbye, Master!"

The three little ones in the yard waved their hands at Ling Yun.

Ling Yun didn't even have the strength to slam the door.

He is hungry...

He just wanted to eat... - Su Ergou also came back from the Imperial College. Su Cheng was captured by Qin Canglan and the old marquis for closed-door training, and he would not come back tonight.

Su Xiaoxiao seriously suspected that the two of them were competing to be Su Cheng's father.

Su Xiaoxiao stewed taro and braised pork, steamed shrimp meatballs, fried leeks and eggs, and stir-fried two plates of vegetables.

The taro is smooth and tender, and the three little ones love it.

Xiaohu held the bowl and chopsticks, raised his head, and said in a milky voice: "I want to eat more tomorrow!"

Su Xiaoxiao asked with amusement: "What do you want to eat?"

Xiaohu said seriously: "Taro! Right (meat)!"

"Where are Dahu and Erhu?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Dahu is basically not picky about food. He eats everything except bitter food.

"Candied haws." Erhu said.

Xiao Hu hurriedly said, "Xiao Fu also wants sugar talismans! I want a lot of them, a hundred sugar talismans!"

Da Hu nodded and said he also wanted a hundred.

Su Xiaoxiao: I wanted to ask about the food...please don’t get off topic!

After dinner, the three kids went to the yard to play, while Su Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Su Ergou walked in, looking like he had something to say.

"sister."

He said sullenly.

"What's wrong?" Su Xiaoxiao looked up at him and asked, "Ah, did you get a new order? How many are there? I'll do them tomorrow."

"No..." Su Ergou said, "Ah, there is an order, I am..."

"What do you want to say?" Su Xiaoxiao asked softly.

Su Ergou whispered, "Just... today in the Imperial College, someone called me Little Master."

What is coming will eventually come.

From the moment the decision was made to send Su Ergou to school, his background was destined to be exposed.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, "Do you want to be a young master?"

Su Ergou asked: "If I do it, am I still your brother? Am I Dad's son? If not, I won't do it."

Su Xiaoxiao teased him, "You have endless snacks to eat and endless money to spend, so why don't you do it?"

Su Ergou shook his head like a rattle: "I can go hungry when I'm with my dad and sister."

Su Xiaoxiao smiled: "I said I won't let you go hungry again."

Su Ergou said sullenly, "Sister, I will eat less in the future. Please don't give me to others."

Did this little fool think that she was going to adopt him to another family as her son? Su Xiaoxiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and finally understood why he had such a dejected expression when he entered the door.

"Ergou, it's time to tell you something."

"What?"

"I didn't tell you about my father's background before because I had some considerations. But I found that I might be wrong. This decision should not be made by me alone. I shouldn't treat you as a child. You have the right to choose your family."

Su Ergou only listened halfway, but then he burst into tears: "Sister, I... I'm not really our child, am I? I was picked up?"

His tears fell in big drops.

He doesn't want to be a young master of a rich family, he just wants his sister and his father——

Ever since I found out a while ago that I can’t eat rice, wheat, rye, buckwheat, onions, garlic, beef, chicken, fish, shrimp... my happiness is gone.

Every day when I open the refrigerator, I don’t know what else I can eat.

Others are looking for items on the checklist that they cannot eat, while I am looking for items that I can eat.
