Chapter 624 Returning Home (Part 2)



Old Lady Wei, holding her imposing tiger-head cane and leading the heroic women of the Wei family, swaggered out of the Qilin Hall with the aura of a marching army.

The three little ones were full of energy and ran around the palace. Wei Ting folded his arms in the cold wind and watched them having fun with cold eyes.

It is worth mentioning that apart from the Western Jin Dynasty strategist Zhuge Qing, the people who stole the limelight today were the women of the Wei family, especially Chen's success, which made many people feel depressed.

In addition to these, there were two other people who also attracted a lot of attention. The first one was Su Xiaoxiao.

In the past, everyone thought she was just a chubby girl who did whatever she wanted, but tonight everyone thought she was incredibly beautiful, and her face could almost compete with Bai Xihe's.

As for the other one, she is the beautiful girl beside Wei Qing.

She had a naturally charming figure and an exquisite body. She didn't wear heavy clothes, so the purple corseted dress perfectly outlined her slim waist and perfect figure.

Xiao Duye's eyes never left her.

Mei Ji glared at him with disdain and pushed Wei Qing's wheelchair out.

"Princess Hui'an, please stay."

Su Xiaoxiao called out to Princess Hui'an outside the palace.

Princess Hui'an raised her chin and asked, "Why? Can't bear to leave me?"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and took out a brocade box and handed it to her: "I brought a little gift for the princess from the Western Jin Dynasty."

Princess Hui'an's eyes lit up, but soon returned to normal. She took the brocade box with a proud look on her face and opened it. A dazzling gem was inside.

She loved gorgeous things like gems. Last time Su Xiaoxiao gave her a purple gem, and this time it was a pink gem, which was three times more beautiful than the last one.

She could no longer hide the love in her eyes, but she looked reluctant: "Is it just for me this time?"

Su Xiaoxiao said seriously: "There is only one gem of this quality in Xidu, and I don't have a second one to give to others."

Princess Jingning liked jadeite, so she gave her a pair of imperial green bracelets.

Princess Hui'an then showed some satisfaction.

At this time, Princess Jingning came over.

Princess Hui'an closed the brocade box with a click and went back to show it off to Jingning!

Princess Jingning said to Hui'an, "Why don't you go back? Aren't you afraid that Empress Xian will be waiting for you? The entire Wei family is waiting for her in the carriage."

Princess Hui'an snorted: "What's wrong with me talking to my little follower? Do I need you to remind me?"

Princess Jingning said calmly: "Little follower, little follower, has she admitted it?"

"I admit it in my heart!" Princess Hui'an would never show weakness in front of Jingning. Thinking of something, she turned and looked at Su Xiaoxiao, "Little follower, where are the letters you wrote to me? Why didn't I receive any of them?"

"Huh?" Su Xiaoxiao was stunned.

Princess Hui'an asked again, "Did you just write it but not send it?"

Su Xiaoxiao blinked.

"You didn't write it, did you?" Princess Hui'an stamped her feet. "You promised to write me a letter!"

Su Xiaoxiao searched through the few memories in her mind and indeed she had responded casually on a dark and windy night.

The original words are——

"Remember to write to me when you have time."

"Um."

Isn't it true that the subtext of such polite remarks is generally that one cannot write well?

Princess Hui'an said angrily, "You don't even have time to write to me, do you? If not once every three days, at least once every ten days!"

Princess Jingning also looked at Su Xiaoxiao, as if asking, where is my letter? Su Xiaoxiao: Why do I feel like there is a fire in the backyard again...

Su Xiaoxiao smiled: "I wrote it, but I haven't sent it yet. It's in the bag."

Princess Hui'an said solemnly: "Then go to the palace tomorrow and bring it to me!"

Su Xiaoxiao's smile remained unchanged: "I will go back to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion tomorrow."

Princess Hui'an did not allow for rejection and said, "Then the day after tomorrow! If you can't come over, I'll go to your house and get it myself!"

Two days, twenty-four letters... Kill her.

"Oh."

Wei Ting walked over with a stern look on his face, picked up the three kids, and could only carry two with his hands. He turned back and said to the darkness, "Can you lend a hand?"

The killer walked out from the night and picked up the last little kid.

The group got on the carriage at the palace gate.

The wife of the Duke of Lu happened to be riding next to the Wei family's carriage.

She actually didn't have much hatred towards the Wei family. At most, she was jealous and contemptuous. What she was jealous of was Zhuge Qing's attitude towards the Wei family, and what she looked down on was the Wei family's current decline.

He had lost his military power, had only one son left, and was not favored by the emperor. Sooner or later, he would fall into decline.

After Zhuge Qing left, the Wei family would still do what they wanted. If they had the ability, they could keep Zhuge Qing, but that was impossible! "Madam Lu, why are you staring at my carriage like that? Is there something wrong?" Su Xiaoxiao lifted the curtain and looked at her with a smile.

The wife of Duke Lu came back to her senses, a hint of displeasure flashing across her eyes.

It was this girl who ruined her daughter's marriage with Su Mo. She was so annoying! When her son-in-law ascended the throne and became emperor, he would have a hard time dealing with this girl! She snorted coldly and stepped onto the carriage bench.

At this moment, a small macaw flew over and dropped a pile of bird droppings, which dripped onto the forehead of the wife of the Duke of Lu.

"Ah——" She screamed, missed a step, and broke her nose on the carriage seat! The five tigers succeeded in their trick and flew back to the carriage in a proud manner, flapping their wings and looking at Su Xiaoxiao with a look of seeking credit.

Su Xiaoxiao gave it a piece of bird food with both annoyance and amusement.

Just one! The five tiger birds exploded! "Forget it."

Su Xiaoxiao reached out and took the bird food.

The worker used his wings to collect bird food. One by one, it was better than nothing.

Missing the first day of six bird seeds.

After returning home, Su Xiaoxiao sat under the oil lamp and buried her head in reading the letters. Her little face was wrinkled, showing how bitter and resentful she was.

When Wei Ting sent the three little kids to Old Lady Wei's yard, a fat peacock had already fallen asleep on the table.

Wei Ting took the brush from her hand, put it back on the pen holder, and then picked her up horizontally.

Su Xiaoxiao opened her eyes dazedly: "Wei Ting, please help me write..."

Wei Ting said coldly: "Oh, you are dreaming."

"Just dream." Su Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

She had a beautiful dream that Wei Ting had finished writing all twenty-four letters.

However, the reality is cruel. She woke up early the next morning and found that she had written the same amount as she had the day before.

Just... a pitiful half.

"Seventh brother's wife! Go practice!"

Jiang came to call her.

Su Xiaoxiao woke up instantly: "Fifth sister-in-law! I have to go back to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion to see my father today! We can learn from each other another day!"

Jiang said with some regret: "Oh, then you remember it, don't forget it."

Wei Ting went to court before dawn. He left a message for Xing'er and went to Qin's house to pick up Su Xiaoxiao after the court.

Su Xiaoxiao took the three little ones and got on the carriage to Qin's house.

On the way, she remembered that the Imperial College was not closed today, so she asked Ah Fu to go there as well.

Ah Fu parked the carriage in a nearby alley and put the stool aside: "Madam, are you going to see the young master?"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "Well, I'll go see Ergou. I haven't seen him for a long time. I wonder if he has grown taller."

It was the time for admission to the Imperial College, and many students were entering one after another.

Su Xiaoxiao is looking for Su Ergou among the students.

Suddenly, a familiar young man's voice sounded behind him: "Miss Su, is that you?"

Have you guessed who it is?      (End of this chapter)
