Chu said, "I just said I'd send someone to call you. Xiaoqi's marriage has been decided, and we plan to go see mother and tell her the good news."

Jiang murmured quietly: "Will mother be happy?"

Li quietly patted her hands and gave her a look to shut up.

Jiang coughed lightly: "Then let's go!"

The group went to the small villa west of the palace.

This place is far away from the central axis of the mansion, near a small orchard, and is very quiet and secluded.

As soon as they entered the yard, they smelled a refreshing peach scent.

Jiang exclaimed, "Mom is planting peaches again this year!"

Under a peach tree in the yard, a lady in plain clothes was picking peaches.

"Mother." Chu stepped forward and bowed, reaching out to take the basket in her hand, "Let me do it."

Madam Wei handed the basket to her very slowly and gently with a nonchalant expression.

"mother."

Li and Lan also greeted and came forward to help pick peaches.

Chu looked back at Jiang and Chen and said, "What are you two doing standing there? Come and pick peaches."

"Here I am, sister-in-law." Jiang pulled Chen's sleeve, came to the peach tree and started picking the peaches silently.

Mrs. Wei planted four peach trees in the yard. This year the peaches were so many and big that several people could not fit all their baskets.

"That's enough. Come and sit down." Mrs. Wei said.

Several people walked over and sat down around the stone table.

There were only four stone benches in total. Chu, Li and Chen sat down, while Lan and Jiang stood, because they were the fourth and fifth children.

Madam Wei lives alone, with only a little maid by her side. The maid's mother fell ill these days, so Madam Wei asked her to go back to accompany her mother.

Chu said softly, "Mother, your place is too quiet. I'll pick another smart servant to come over."

Mrs. Wei didn't respond.

She picked up a peach branch and plucked a small insect off it.

Jiang was ashamed, because she had picked the peaches and had pulled off the branch along with them.

Madam Wei said calmly, "Today is neither a festival nor a big day, so why are you here?"

Chu said, "Xiao Qi is getting married."

Madam Wei's expression remained calm: "Really?"

Chu continued, "And the eldest daughter of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion."

Pop.

The peach branch in Mrs. Wei's hand broke.

…

Su Xiaoxiao was too busy yesterday, so she only delivered the snacks to Ling Yun today.

Ling Yun had a dark face and said nothing.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled: "To express my apology, I made two more boxes of almond cakes."

Ling Yun said coldly: "Only two boxes? Do you think I am a beggar?"

"That……"

“Three boxes!”

Su Xiaoxiao: I was just about to say five boxes...

While Su Xiaoxiao was delivering snacks, she also took Ling Yun's pulse and asked about his diet.

Since taking digestive enzymes, Lingyun's indigestion symptoms have been greatly reduced and he almost stops vomiting.

However, things that are too difficult to digest are not suitable for consumption. The snacks that Su Xiaoxiao made for him were all reduced in sugar and oil.

Su Xiaoxiao felt relieved to see that his sunken cheeks finally had some flesh on them.

"What are you looking at?" Ling Yun noticed Su Xiaoxiao's gaze and asked coldly.

Su Xiaoxiao said seriously: "You were too thin before, but now you look a little more normal, and you seem quite handsome."

Ling Yun took the snack and gave her a disdainful look.

As if to say, who cares about this stuff as a grown man? He walked into the house with a blank expression.

Half a minute later, a small chirping sound came from inside.

"Master, are you doing something dirty?"

"Stupid, the master is looking in the mirror!"

…

In the afternoon, Su Mo came over.

He had just finished training in the military camp and came to see Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou.

Su Ergou was sitting in the room, being forced by his two cousins ​​to take extra lessons, and he was feeling overwhelmed.

Su Xiaoxiao had just finished boiling the ointment and scooped a spoonful for Su Mo to taste.

"How is it?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

"It's sweet, with the aroma of red dates and peanuts, and delicious." Su Mo asked, "What is it used for?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Oh, it's to regulate the lack of blood and qi during menstruation!"

Su Mo: “…”

Su Xiaoxiao sent the prepared ointment to the first class and also met Li Baoren by the way.

Su Mo sent her there.

In the carriage, Su Mo asked her, "You don't have to go to the palace to study anymore. I thought you would be free, but you are busier than before."

This girl always seems to be busy.

Su Xiaoxiao said, "It's so boring to be idle."

Su Mo paused and said seriously: "But you can't bring up the matter of getting married to Wei Ting."

Su Xiaoxiao sighed: "How can this be called a hassle? I'm just trying to lure the snake out of its hole!"

Su Mo said bluntly: "You are doing this for Wei Ting, right?"

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said, "Who wants to eat those two bites of meat? Well, no, I really want to do it for the overall situation."

I definitely don't want to tie Wei Ting to the bed, tear off his clothes, touch his abdominal muscles, and do this and that to him! Su Mo: "..."

"Isn't it risky to do this?" Su Mo asked.

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Of course it's risky."

But this is a risk they are all willing to take, she is, Wei Ting is, and so are Old Lady Wei and Qin Canglan.

Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin. It seemed not as double as before.

"That traitor already knows that Wei Ting and I are being arranged to be married. What do you think he will do?"

Su Mo analyzed, "He will definitely come out to ruin your marriage with Wei Ting. There are only two ways. Either he will sow discord between the two families and make them take the initiative to ask for permission to cancel the marriage; or he will force the two families to terminate the marriage. The reason for the termination is nothing more than someone getting into trouble, so from now on, you and Wei Ting must be extra careful-"

As soon as he finished speaking, he frowned: "Someone is following us."

Su Xiaoxiao concentrated: "Behind?"

"Yeah." Su Mo nodded.

Su Xiaoxiao lifted a corner of the curtain on the back window.

A figure quickly flashed into the shop on the street.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly: "Have you taken the bait so quickly?"

The carriage turned into an alley.

Su Mo got off the carriage: "I'll go buy you some osmanthus cake."

"Go quickly and come back soon!" Su Xiaoxiao said loudly.

Su Mo walked away openly.

After making sure Su Mo was far away, a stealthy figure quickly entered the alley.

Su Xiaoxiao leaned on the pillow, looking as if she was squinting.

The man got onto the carriage quietly and slowly lifted the curtain with the weapon in his hand.

The time is now!

Su Xiaoxiao opened her eyes in a second, and with a kick of her fat leg, she threw the opponent to the floor of the carriage, and the weapon in his hand fell out.

He thought quickly and picked up a small stool beside him and smashed it hard at Su Xiaoxiao!

How could Su Xiaoxiao let him succeed? She slapped the stool away, then took a big step, sat on it, and tied his hands behind his back.

He lay on the floor, his thin body bearing a weight that he shouldn't have to bear.

Su Xiaoxiao quickly took off his mask.

Seeing his face, Su Xiaoxiao was stunned: "Is it you?"

The fourth update of Humimi is here. Do you have Humimi’s monthly ticket?
