Without dreams, Su Xiucheng drifted aimlessly; with dreams, Su Xiucheng's mind buzzed.
He clutched the back of his head and accused his father, "I wasn't smart to begin with, and you've made me even dumber by beating me!"
Yun Jinglan stopped her husband's hand, which was about to strike him again: "My lord!"
Su Junyao felt wronged, his hand trembling as he pointed at his youngest son: "Madam, look at this boy, is he even presentable!"
What is he trying to do?
"A drug maker!"
"Do you think those three words sound like something a good person would do?"
Kids these days are ruining their brains by reading too many storybooks!
“Even Qiuqiu agrees!” Su Xiucheng retorted loudly and confidently. “Mom, didn’t you ask me to think about what I want to do? This is what I’m interested in.”
The couple's expressions became indescribable. Didn't Qiuqiu predict anything about such an unreliable dream?
"We respect your opinion, but you should go back now."
"Mother, you agree?"
"go back!"
"Okay!"
After the boy disappeared from sight, Su Junyao sat down next to his wife to continue what he hadn't finished earlier.
The woman's wrists were slender and white, gently rubbed by the man's large hands. The pressure was just right, greatly relieving the soreness caused by holding Qiuqiu earlier.
Seeing her expression soften, Su Junyao seized the opportunity to ask, "Madam, are you really planning to have Fourth Prince do something, like become a drug maker?"
If I get caught doing this, I'll be locked up for life!
Yun Jinglan abruptly pulled her hand back and glared at him angrily: "Look at your sons, are any of them any good?"
Su Junyao knew she was truly angry, and dared not argue, as this was also her son. He humbled himself and tried his best to apologize.
"I'll give him a good scolding later! That fourth kid is getting more and more outrageous!"
"Let's deal with him after the autumn examinations when we have more time. Keep a close eye on the second son lately."
"I understand."
The couple exchanged a helpless glance, and finally smiled at each other.
Raising children is so difficult!
Thirteen managed to pry open the mouths of the assassins who had tried to kill Qiuqiu and the others in just one day.
He responded that without Chunfeng Tower, all assassins in the martial arts world are trash!
His arrogance has its reasons.
“I only used three of the 108 instruments of torture and they spilled everything.”
"Useless piece of trash!"
Chiu Chiu: [I have a friend...]
Su Junyao: Manually mute!
Chiu Chiu is really afraid she'll grow up with a duck's beak. Her whole family loves to pinch her beak all the time. The problem is, every time they do, it disrupts her train of thought!
Now I don't even know where my mind is going...
Never mind, let's keep listening!
Su Junyao breathed a sigh of relief. Although handling matters while holding Qiuqiu slightly affected his wise and heroic image, his wife had given the order that his recent task was to keep an eye on Qiuqiu and prevent her from disturbing the second son.
However, she was too active and restless, so she had to carry overweight items with her at all times!
"Were those assassins after Gongye Changfeng?"
"Yes. Someone paid Gongye Changfeng to learn a lesson. This group is a small gang that has just emerged in the martial arts world. They are good at fighting, but they are not professionally trained assassins. They set off after receiving the deposit."
The riot and assassination in broad daylight have implicated so many innocent civilians. The matter has alarmed the imperial court, and the prefect will thoroughly investigate.
This lesson is truly unexpected!
Qiuqiu and her friends were unlucky; they ran into this group by chance when they encountered Gongye Changfeng and his group. You could only say they were unlucky.
Chen He rubbed his chin, and suddenly laughed as if he had thought of something. He immediately stopped laughing when he met Qiu Qiu's puzzled look.
serious!
"My lord, I think I know who the mastermind is."
【who?!】
It's actually quite easy to guess: unreliable people doing unreliable things.
"The Gongye family is finished!"
Su Junyao was certain that the Gongye family would be completely finished without anyone else having to do it a few more times!
“My children have been innocently implicated. I feel bad for them if I don’t take action. Chen He, report everything you’ve found to the Prefect. You know what to say.”
Thirteen hesitated, unwilling to leave, "My lord, there is one more matter."
Su Junyao raised his hand to stop him from saying anything more, "As for your sister staying in the manor, I agree."
As Qiuqiu grows up, although Thirteen is highly skilled in martial arts, he is still a boy, which will inevitably cause many inconveniences in the future. Xiao Wu being able to stay for a while is also a way to protect Qiuqiu.
He naturally agreed to their plan, which guaranteed them a profit.
Thirteen hesitated, "It's not about that. It's that Fourth Young Master wants to recognize Fifth Young Master as his master. Why don't you go and take a look first?"
He also felt that the Fourth Young Master was a promising talent, especially in terms of shamelessness, making him suitable to be a martial arts practitioner.
It's a bit awkward that he's still kneeling at Xiao Wu's door and won't get up. Even a pampered young master isn't so free; at least we should ask his parents.
It's obvious that his parents disagree.
When Su Junyao heard Thirteen tell this story, he felt like he was about to faint from anger. When he rushed over and saw Su Xiucheng still pestering Xiao Wu to learn how to make poison, he had the first thought of asking for family discipline.
He once wanted to be a loving father, but now he believes in the saying "spare the rod and spoil the child."
"You unfilial son! Are you thinking of me now?!"
Su Junyao strode away, and when Qiuqiu saw that things were not going well, she immediately grabbed Thirteen’s legs and tried to hide behind her, but Thirteen picked her up halfway and started carrying her instead.
"You played a significant role in Fourth Young Master's affairs, didn't you?"
Thirteen thought that with the Fourth Young Master's intelligence, he shouldn't have come up with such a bad idea of pestering him. But it was very much like Qiuqiu's style.
Chiu Chiu felt guilty and didn't dare to look into Thirteen's eyes; her eyes kept darting around without focusing.
She was just teasing her fourth brother, but she never expected him to actually take it seriously!
That day, after leaving his mother's house, Su Xiucheng was constantly troubled by whether his parents had agreed or not. It was Qiujiu's inner voice that told him that no answer was the best answer.
As for the persistent pestering, Qiuqiu really feels wronged!
The storybook about a virtuous woman who fears being pursued by her lover and chasing after her husband to the mass grave fell to the ground. Her fourth brother firmly believed that this was inspired by Qiuqiu.
What could she possibly do?
The only thing I can do is try to stop my dad when he's beating people.
What else can we do? We can't be disrespectful to our superiors!
[Dad, hit me gently! Waaah~]
Su Junyao's slap was about to land on Su Xiucheng's face when he heard the sound of chirping. He was stunned and subconsciously turned around. He saw chirping waving a handkerchief, looking straight ahead with a determined look in her eyes.
Although her movements were very proper, her expression was anything but...
She wiped her eyes with a small handkerchief and started to fake cry, but she couldn't suppress the smile that was creeping onto her face.
[Dad, do you think you've lost a sycophantic son?]
[A drug manufacturer? What a cool job!]
"Ah! Chirp!"
With a flick of her handkerchief, Qiuqiu exclaimed: "I want to kneel too! Kneeling down to acknowledge a master is a sure win!"
Su Junyao: Now I don't find it so hard to accept that my youngest son is a drug manufacturer.
It's all about contrast!
"Just give me a couple of years and then. If you keep causing this trouble, you might as well just poison me first!"
You're such a genius, who can outdo you!
