The heavy rain irrigated the fields, and the fishy smell of soil was mixed with bursts of peach fragrance, which smelled a bit sweet.

"Ouch!"

Yuchi Xiu fell to the ground holding a few big peaches.

He turned around and glared at a certain chubby girl: "Woman! I warn you to be gentle! Otherwise... I will eat your peach!"

Su Xiaoxiao specially picked a few of the biggest ones. If she continued to be unruly, he would take a bite of each one! It was really a particularly cruel threat! Su Xiaoxiao walked over nonchalantly in her straw raincoat: "If you dare to take a bite, you're dead."

Yuchi Xiu laughed and said, "What can you do to me?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "I will draw a picture of you naked and send it to Yu Niang!"

Yuchi Xiu looked confused: "What is a fruit cover?"

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at him meaningfully.

Yuchi Xiu felt a chill in his lower abdomen and immediately clamped his legs together! "What a strong wind."

Ping'er was cleaning up the branches that Madam Wei had cut off when she suddenly felt a gust of cold wind. She said to Madam Wei, "Madam, I'll go see if the back door was blown open by the wind."

Mrs. Wei hummed.

Ping'er got up and left the room.

Thinking that the back door was not far away and there was a shed in the corridor, he did not wear a straw raincoat and only held an oil-paper umbrella.

"It must have been blown open by the wind. It's strange. I clearly fastened the bolt."

Ping'er muttered in confusion, walked forward and closed the two back doors.

Just when there was only a small gap left, two wet hands suddenly reached in and blocked the door with their backhands.

Ping'er was startled: "Ah!"

The door opened slowly.

Amidst the lightning and thunder, a fat figure walked in with an indifferent expression.

Ping'er's first reaction was that she saw a ghost.

When the other party took off her bamboo hat, Ping'er was shocked: "Miss Su, Miss Su?!"

The cold wind rustled the window.

Ping'er walked in tremblingly with her head down.

"Come in and close the door." said Mrs. Wei.

Ping'er slowly stepped over the threshold.

Madam Wei was about to ask what happened when she glanced around and caught a glimpse of two shadows on the ground.

She slowly placed the cut flowers into the vase and said, "Go boil a kettle of water for tea."

"Yes." Ping'er turned and went to the kitchen to boil water.

Su Xiaoxiao left her straw raincoat and bamboo hat at the door, walked inside, and sat down opposite Madam Wei.

She was not used to the kneeling posture, so she sat cross-legged on the cushion very boldly.

Mrs. Wei didn't look at her and continued to concentrate on pruning the branches.

Su Xiaoxiao is not the kind of person who would feel embarrassed if you ignore her. She is very comfortable with herself.

There is also a pair of scissors on the table, which is for Ping'er to use.

Su Xiaoxiao picked it up as if no one was around, selected a peony, and cut it with the scissors.

Mrs. Wei’s eyebrows twitched.

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, picked up another peony, and cut it with the scissors.

Mrs. Wei's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her expression gradually became a little unsettled.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the orchid in her hand and said indifferently, "What do you think I am doing here, Madam Wei?"

Madam Wei looked at the branches that Su Xiaoxiao had cut in a hurry, endured it for a moment, and said, "Whatever you come to do, just give up on this idea."

Su Xiaoxiao said, "Madam Wei, I don't really understand. You can still have compassion for a maid, so why are you so cruel to your own son?"

Madam Wei paused, her eyes falling on Su Xiaoxiao's face: "The person hiding behind the curtain in the gambling house the night before...was it you?"

"It's me."

Su Xiaoxiao admitted it generously.

That night, Mrs. Wei really discovered that there was someone behind the curtain, but she managed to hold back and not make a sound.

Mrs. Wei didn't say anything else.

It seemed that he had no interest in why Su Xiaoxiao appeared in the gambling house.

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Why don't you ask me if I'm following you?"

Madam Wei asked, "What else? Are you hiding behind the curtain just for fun?"

What a sharp woman. She comes straight to the point without beating around the bush.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her deeply and said, "Don't get me wrong, it wasn't Wei Ting who asked me to follow you. No matter how suspicious you are, Madam Wei, Wei Ting has never doubted you. I am different."

Madam Wei asked, "So you came to my house today not to check my pulse, but just to test me?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "That's right."

Madam Wei asked again, "Why are you testing me?"

Su Xiaoxiao looked into her eyes without blinking: "Testing whether you are Wei Ting's biological mother."

Madam Wei said calmly: "This is also worth a try."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "I haven't finished yet. There is a traitor in the Wei family. General Wei's death is related to the traitor."

Madam Wei paused and said, "So, you suspect I'm a traitor?"

"I did suspect this before." Su Xiaoxiao said, "But then I thought about it. Regardless of whether you are Wei Ting's biological mother or not, you are unlikely to be a traitor. If you are a traitor, in order to avoid being discovered, you should at least pretend to care about the children and act like a biological mother. As for reducing contact to avoid being exposed inadvertently, this is also easy to do. There are many ways to distance yourself from them without letting them misunderstand, such as not passing on your illness to them if you are sick. Isn't this reasonable and doesn't arouse suspicion?"

"If you are the insider, your actions are like telling everyone: Come and suspect me! Isn't this ridiculous?"

Madam Wei held the scissors tightly and cut a branch of flowers: "You came here just to tell me this?"

"Not entirely." Su Xiaoxiao said, looking at the vase in front of her, "The flowers are arranged nicely."

Just at this moment, Ping'er came over with some brewed tea.

Su Xiaoxiao said to Ping'er, "Take the vase and go outside to tell Wei Ting that your wife accepted the gift he sent. This is what your wife gave him."

Ping'er looked at Su Xiaoxiao blankly, then at Madam Wei.

Su Xiaoxiao pulled out the dagger from her waist.

"It's no use threatening me." Madam Wei said calmly.

"Who said I was threatening you?"

Su Xiaoxiao turned the dagger, pulled it out, and slashed with the blade, creating a series of sparks on the metal scabbard. "Your peach forest is nice. I don't know if you would feel sad if I burned it down."

"By the way, I've already picked the biggest peaches."

Mrs. Wei looked at Su Xiaoxiao coldly.

Su Xiaoxiao's bully aura was fully revealed: "Kerosene, it can be burned no matter how heavy the rain is!"

Madam Wei said calmly, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
