"Really?" Su Xiaoxiao looked curious.

Jiang said, "I married into the Wei family late, and I heard all this from others. My second sister-in-law and the others also heard it from others. After all, it was a long time ago. Before my mother gave birth to Xiaoqi, she had a good relationship with my father, and she was very good to his sons."

Su Xiaoxiao wondered, "Wei Ting also said that his mother was indifferent to all the brothers, but he vaguely felt that she was the most indifferent to him."

Jiang sighed distressedly, "Everyone said this on purpose because they were afraid that Xiao Qi would be sad. They said that mother has always been like this and is not close to anyone, so they told him not to take it to heart."

Su Xiaoxiao asked in detail, "Did something happen when Madam Wei was born to Wei Ting? Why did her attitude change so much?"

Jiang said truthfully, "I don't know about that. My sisters-in-law don't know much about what happened that year. We only know that mother gave birth to Xiaoqi in Lingnan that year."

"Lingnan?" Su Xiaoxiao was confused.

Jiang said, "Mother is from Lingnan. She happened to go back to her hometown to visit her relatives that year. She stayed at her mother's house for half a year and only returned to Beijing after Xiaoqi was born."

Su Xiaoxiao pondered and said, "Did his personality change drastically afterwards?"

Jiang nodded: "Yes."

Postpartum depression? Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin.

This time, Jiang and Chen did not come empty-handed. Chen gave Su Xiaoxiao a big knife, and Jiang gave Su Xiaoxiao a long sword.

As expected of a military family's daughter, the gift she gave was so majestic and magnificent.

After the two men left with a jar of bacon, Yuchi Xiu came over.

As soon as he entered the room, he quickly closed the door and pulled off the human skin mask on his face.

Su Xiaoxiao picked up the shovel and was about to hit the ground with it.

"Oh, it's you."

She put the shovel back and asked, "Why are you sneaking around in broad daylight wearing a mask?"

"Murder."

Yuchi Xiu touched his handsome face and said, "This is a personal grudge, and I cannot reveal my identity."

If he were recognized, people would suspect that it was Wei Ting who instigated him to go.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the human skin mask he placed on the stone table and asked thoughtfully, "Will I really not be discovered if I wear this?"

"Be careful, of course."

“Not falling either?”

"It's hung behind the ear with a thin thread. Unless you touch here, you won't find anything."

Yuchi Xiu sat down on the stone bench and said, "That's how Wei Ting hid himself in the temple. If there was no one pretending to be him, how do you think he would get to Qingzhou?"

Su Xiaoxiao asked, "You've been pretending for a year without getting caught?"

Yuchi Xiu said: "When we first went there, he almost got caught several times. Later, the guard moved to the most secluded meditation room, reduced his interactions with people, and meditated behind closed doors all day. He refused to see anyone and didn't say much when they did. He got away with it like this."

Su Xiaoxiao fell into deep thought.

afternoon.

Jiang and her four sisters-in-law sat in the garden drinking tea.

Suddenly, a servant came to report: "There's someone outside claiming to be the Seventh Young Lady."

Jiang choked.

Lan said with a smile: "What do you mean Seventh Young Madam? Little Seven hasn't even gotten married yet."

Li said, "It's an arranged marriage, it's coming soon."

Chu asked, "What does that person look like? Did he tell me his last name?"

The servant said, "To answer the eldest young lady's question, it was a fat girl who said her last name was Su."

Lan grumbled, "Why is she here?"

Mrs. Chu asked her servant to bring Su Xiaoxiao in.

Lan said unhappily, "We are a family of Wei who don't know the rules. You haven't even married yet! Don't ruin our family tradition!"

Jiang said, "Fourth sister-in-law, how can you say that? Seventh brother's wife is our own, and she will marry into our family sooner or later. We don't follow that kind of thing."

A military family has its own rules, but this definitely does not include the requirement that women must not leave the house.

All the female members of the Wei family can come and go freely. Since they can go out, the seventh brother's wife can naturally come to visit.

At least that’s what Jiang thought.

"Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, fourth sister-in-law, fifth sister-in-law." Su Xiaoxiao greeted them one by one.

Chu asked, "Are you here to visit your grandmother?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "To be honest, I came to see Madam Wei."

Lan said calmly, "You'll see her after you get married. Why would you be so anxious to see your mother-in-law before the wedding?"

Su Xiaoxiao said in a normal tone: "I heard that Madam Wei caught a cold. I'm a doctor, so I came here to take a look."

"Who told you that?" asked Chu.

Jiang lowered her head silently, and pulled Chen to ask her to lower her head as well to reduce her presence.

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, "I heard it from Wei Ting's men."

Chu said, "Ah, mother has indeed been feeling unwell these past two days... Come with me."

Mrs. Chu had already prescribed medicine for Madam Wei, but she did not reject Su Xiaoxiao's kindness. Instead, she took Su Xiaoxiao to Madam Wei's yard.

"Should we go?" asked Li.

Lan was peeling peaches: "If you want to go, go by yourself, I won't go."

She looked at Jiang and Chen, who were almost impatient to sit still, "Fifth brother's wife and third sister-in-law, are you going? Are you very familiar with Miss Qin? Or have you met her in private?"

Jiang sat back on the stool in a second and wiped the oil off his mouth: "No, no, no, it's not true, I haven't seen it in private!"

In front of the west courtyard gate, Chu said, "This is mother's courtyard. Mother likes quietness, so there is only one maid in the courtyard."

Ping'er?

Just as Su Xiaoxiao was thinking about it, she saw the little girl who was redeemed from the gambling house by Madam Wei last night.

Ping'er didn't know Su Xiaoxiao. She put down her broom and came over to bow to Chu: "Madam."

"Is mother here?" asked Chu.

"Yes." Ping'er said, "In the room."

Chu took Su Xiaoxiao up the stairs.

Unlike the lively and heroic Jiang and Chen, Chu was dignified and graceful, with the temperament of a lady from a noble family.

"Mom, I'm here to see you." Mrs. Chu said at the door.

"Come in."

Mrs. Wei's slightly cold voice came from inside.

"Miss Su is here too," said Mrs. Chu.

Madam Wei was sitting in the room arranging flowers. There were many flower branches and a shiny and moist jade vase on the table.

Madam Wei was trimming the branches and looked up at the two of them: "Sit down."

Chu sat down: "Miss Su, you sit down too."

After Su Xiaoxiao sat down, Chu introduced her to Madam Wei: "Mother, Miss Su is Xiaoqi's fiancée."

Click.

Mrs. Wei used the scissors to cut off a piece of jasmine.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her and said calmly, "I heard that you were not feeling well. I came to take a look at you."

Madam Wei put the broken branches aside and said, "I'm fine."

Chu said, "Mother, Miss Su is a doctor. Let her take a look, and we'll feel more at ease."

Su Xiaoxiao stood up, opened the medicine box, took out a pulse pillow and placed it on the table: "Madam Wei, let me take your pulse."

Madam Wei hesitated for a moment and placed her wrist on the pulse pillow.

Su Xiaoxiao felt her pulse and said, "You do have a cold and your liver qi is stagnant."

She raised her hand and touched Madam Wei's face.

Madam Wei looked at her warily: "What are you doing?"

Su Xiaoxiao said seriously: "Oh, touching the bones and pressing the acupoints are similar to taking the pulse."

After saying that, she took advantage of her unpreparedness and touched Madam Wei behind her ear.
