Is Wei Ting backing that girl up? Why?!
As a member of the Qin family, shouldn't Wei Ting hate her as much as he does? No, she is Qin Canglan's granddaughter, so Wei Ting should hate her even more.
Qin Yanran couldn't understand.
…
Everyone returned to the classroom to pack up their books.
As expected, Su Xiaoxiao received the last one slowly.
When she left the palace, there was only one carriage left at the door, parked where Su Mo usually parked.
When the driver saw her, he bowed to her and turned to get a footstool.
"Eh? Did you change the carriage?"
Su Xiaoxiao walked over and found that the driver had also changed and was a stranger.
Without thinking much, she stepped on the footstool and got into the car.
As soon as he sat down, someone grabbed his wrist and pushed him against the wall of the car.
Someone asked in a low voice: "Who allowed you to call me those nonsense names in class?"
Su Xiaoxiao: This is the palace gate. This is so exciting.
Su Xiaoxiao blinked: "What's the name? I don't understand? Why don't you help me recall it?"
Wei Tingcai was not fooled. He coldly let go of her wrist and sat up.
"Where's Su Mo? How did you get him away?"
Wei Ting just chuckled, as if he didn't want to discuss another man with her.
"Wei Ting, how did you become a horse archery master?"
"you guess."
I don't want to talk about this.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't force it. Anyway, she could ask Xiao Hei next time he came.
But she did have a few things that she had to verify with Wei Ting in person.
Su Xiaoxiao asked: "Wei Ting, why are you waiting for me here? Are you——"
Having said this, she stretched out her tone and looked at him meaningfully.
Wei Ting's face turned cold: "Can you stop thinking about... those things all the time?"
Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said, "What are those things? I haven't asked yet."
Wei Ting: “…”
"Okay, let me talk to you about serious matters." Su Xiaoxiao stopped teasing him and expressed the doubts that had been buried in her heart for the past two days, "Whose sons are Da Hu, Er Hu, and Xiao Hu?"
The subject changed rather quickly.
Wei Ting was stunned for a moment.
"Don't want to say it?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.
If it were in the past, Su Xiaoxiao might not have spoken at all, but now, the relationship between the two has made progress.
She will want to know more.
"What did Su Mo tell you?"
Wei Ting’s words were very insightful.
When smart people talk to each other, there is never any need for roundabout temptations.
He could guess that it was Su Mo who told him, and Su Xiaoxiao was not surprised.
Su Xiaoxiao said: "They said they were the children of the Wei family, Wei Liulang's."
Wei Ting was silent for a moment and said, "Yes, they are my sixth brother's children."
"Who is their mother?"
If she remembered correctly, Wei Jia Liulang did not seem to be married.
Wei Ting paused and said, "The daughter of the King of Nanyang."
Su Xiaoxiao asked in confusion: "Didn't the entire lineage of the Nanyang King die of the plague ten years ago?"
This was the statement made to the outside world. In reality, he was sentenced to death after being discovered for secret rebellion by Emperor Jingxuan.
Wei Ting did not explain that they did not die of the plague. He believed that since she knew this, she would not be unaware of the real cause of their death.
He just went on to say, "When my grandfather arrived, all the coffins had been buried because those who died of 'plague' were considered unclean and could not be buried in the imperial mausoleum, so they just found a random grave. My grandfather heard a faint movement in the graveyard, and he dug out the coffin... It was the youngest daughter of the King of Nanyang."
"My grandfather brought her back to the Wei family and raised her as a maid. We considered distant relatives, but something happened in the Nanyang Palace, and a relative of the same age as the little princess appeared in the family of the Nanyang Prince's old subordinates. Who could not see the trick?"
Su Xiaoxiao nodded. In that situation, the identity of a maid was indeed the least noticeable.
Wei Ting continued, "The little princess was so traumatized that she suffered from aphasia. Grandfather handed her over to grandmother, who raised her personally. No one else knew her identity except grandfather, grandmother, and my father. Even my sixth brother didn't know. As for me, I only found out last year."
"Grandmother is a very cautious person. The little princess has been at home for seven years without anyone discovering her identity."
"But sometimes, fate plays tricks on us. Even though we have been very careful, we are still discovered."
Su Xiaoxiao asked: "How did you find out?"
Wei Ting frowned, "Four years ago, she was not feeling well, so she secretly left the house to get medicine without telling her family. When she walked into an alley, her veil was knocked off by someone. The person who knocked her off was the servant who was driven out of the Nanyang Palace. That person recognized her."
"She knew her identity was exposed, so in order not to implicate the Wei family, she fled alone. When the secret guards around my grandmother arrived at the scene, they only found a bag of fallen herbs on the ground."
"It's a pregnancy-preserving drug."
This explains why she did not invite a doctor at home but went out for treatment.
She herself may have realized that she was pregnant.
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and asked, "She and your sixth brother..."
Wei Ting said slowly, "My sixth brother went to the border a month ago. Grandmother didn't say he was missing, but only wrote to ask what happened. He said they had already decided to spend their lives together. He didn't care that she was a little mute girl, and he would marry her in this life. When he returns from a victorious battle, he will marry her in a grand ceremony."
"It's not that Grandmother didn't see the feelings between the two. She knew that this marriage was impossible. In order to stop Sixth Brother from thinking about the little princess, she arranged for Sixth Brother to marry into the Guo family."
The Guo family... this surname sounds familiar.
Su Xiaoxiao asked: "What happened next?"
Wei Ting said: "Later, the little princess hid with her unborn baby in various places and gave birth to Da Hu and his friends. For nearly three years, she encountered countless hunts. Later, there was one time when she could no longer hide, so she hugged a child made of straw and jumped off a cliff."
Su Xiaoxiao: "One?"
Wei Ting explained: "On her way to escape, she saved a wet nurse. She used some tricks to make those who were chasing her think that she only gave birth to one child and the other two were the wet nurse's children. Their little faces were always dirty because she didn't want them to be seen as triplets."
Su Xiaoxiao asked: "After that, has the wet nurse always been taking care of them?"
Wei Ting nodded: "The nurse didn't know what to do, so she had to lock them up."
"How long has it been closed?"
"I don't know, maybe one month, maybe two months, or even longer..."
When they found the wet nurse, she was already dead. They forced the captured killer into confessing that the little princess had been murdered several months ago.
No one knows how long the three children have been without seeing the sun.
When they were first brought out, the three were dazed and had no reaction to the outside world. They were afraid of the sunlight.
Su Xiaoxiao thought of the scene when she first met the children. By then they had recovered a lot.
"You took good care of them," she said.
"You too." Wei Ting said.
Wei Ting whispered, "It's a pity that Sixth Brother didn't know he had three children in the world until he died in battle."
During the whole process, Wei Ting did not utter a single word of sadness, nor did he shed a single tear of sadness.
His fingertips trembled slightly.
Su Xiaoxiao said nothing and gently held his hand.
"Huh? I think I heard Xiao Qi's voice!"
"Really? Where?"
Wei Ting's body trembled, and he was freed from his sorrow in a second! Su Xiaoxiao asked curiously: "Hey, what is that voice——"
Wei Ting took a deep breath: "My fifth sister-in-law."
Su Xiaoxiao said, "No wonder it sounds familiar. The other person——"
Wei Ting closed his eyes: "My grandmother."
Su Xiaoxiao: “……?!”
Old Lady Wei asked people to stop the carriage.
Jiang jumped down to the ground quickly and neatly.
Jiang married into the Wei family five years ago. She was actually only one year older than Wei Ting, so her words "I watched you grow up" were indeed an exaggeration.
She came to Wei Ting's carriage and looked the driver up and down: "You look unfamiliar."
The driver asked politely, "Madam, what can I do for you?"
Jiang snorted coldly: "Stop talking nonsense and let Xiao Qi come out!"
The driver looked puzzled: "I don't understand."
"Get out of the way!" Jiang got into the carriage directly and pulled open the curtain.
The carriage was empty, without a single person in sight.
She muttered, "That's impossible... I clearly heard Xiao Qi's voice... I couldn't have heard it wrong..."
Old Lady Wei lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at the busy streets, and called out indifferently, "Fusu!"
A figure fell from the sky.
As soon as one of his feet touched the ground, he suddenly realized that he had been exposed.
If he was nearby, didn't that mean the young master was also there? He didn't know whether to put his other foot down or not, he just stood there like a golden rooster.
In the alley, Wei Ting, who was holding Su Xiaoxiao's wrist, raised his hand to cover his eyebrows.
Ginger is still spicy when it is old...
"I'll come back to you another day."
After saying that, he walked out of the alley helplessly.
"grandmother."
He stood beside the carriage and greeted Old Lady Wei through the window.
Old Lady Wei glanced at him and said, "Aren't you going to be a horse-riding and archery teacher?"
"get out of class is over."
"Why are you here after class instead of going home?"
Wei Ting smiled: "I am not... here to pick you and your sister-in-law up?"
"Bullshit!" Jiang jumped down from Wei Ting's carriage, "You didn't know we would come here!"
"Fifth sister-in-law..."
Old Lady Wei Ting interrupted him: "Stop talking nonsense!"
Wei Ting decisively changed the subject: "Grandma, why did you leave the house?"
Old Madam Wei rarely leaves the house.
Old Lady Wei said coldly: "Can't I come out for a walk?"
Wei Ting said: "Okay, I'll go with you."
Old Lady Wei said, "I think you just don't want to go back home!"
Wei Ting covered his chest with his hands in pain: "Alas, why do people always treat my sincere heart as a donkey's liver and lungs?"
Madam Wei ordered the secret guards, "Fusu, take Xiaoqi back to the mansion!"
The secret guard whispered to Wei Ting: "Master, let's go."
Wei Ting and Fusu got on the carriage back home.
The carriages of Old Lady Wei and Mrs. Jiang also continued to move forward.
Wei Ting turned around and looked out the window at the carriage going farther and farther away, a trace of contemplation flashed in his eyes. -When Su Xiaoxiao arrived home, Doctor Fu had been waiting in the main hall for a long time.
Sitting next to him was a middle-aged man in his early forties. Doctor Fu was actually about the same age as him, but he looked anxious and a little haggard.
"Miss Su." Doctor Fu waved to Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao walked over.
Doctor Fu introduced: "Li Baoren."
Li Baoren politely cupped his hands and said, "Miss Su."
The last time Su Xiaoxiao went to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, she discussed the next plans with Doctor Fu.
Su Xiaoxiao thought that she could open a clinic in the capital, but Fu Lang was worried about Aunt Fu and said he would think about it.
But now that he has brought a guarantor with him, he must have thought it through.
"You guys sit down for a while."
After Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking, the two watched her take out a cowhide bag from her homemade school bag.
She opened the bag and fell down. Li Baoren was so scared that he screamed: "Snake——"
Doctor Fu walked over with great interest and asked, "Binhala? It's quite fat. Where did you catch it?"
Su Xiaoxiao: "In the palace."
Doctor Fu: “…”
After Su Xiaoxiao dealt with the snake and its gallbladder, she went to Ling Yun again.
When the three little ones heard that she was going out, they hugged her legs and wanted to go with her.
"I can't even see my mother during the day." Xiaohu said coquettishly.
Although I am very happy to attend classes at Shihu, after class I just want to be with my mother.
Su Xiaoxiao rubbed his little head amusedly and took the three little guys with them.
On the way back, she kissed them one by one.
The three of them covered their red faces, feeling extremely shy.
"Mom, why did you kiss us?" Erhu asked.
Su Xiaoxiao bent down, gently touched his little head, and whispered: "It's just that suddenly, I really want to kiss you."
It’s really frustrating that I have tickets but can’t vote. For those of you who can vote for monthly tickets, let’s make one final sprint.
