112 Harboring Love (2)
Young Master Xiang smiled and said, “Miss Su is really observant of Jing Yi.”
Su Xiaoxiao was clearly married. Logically speaking, they should call her Madam Su, but Su Xiaoxiao had been walking around as a girl, so they did not change their address.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “I have a younger brother who’s also growing taller.”
Jing Yi left with a dark expression.
!!
“Eh? Why did he leave?” Su Xiaoxiao curled her lips. “You have a bad temper.”
Young Master Xiang sighed in amusement. “Sigh. Looks like he can’t send it out again.”
“What?” Su Xiaoxiao didn’t understand.
“No.” Young Master Xiang smiled and said, “Miss Su, stay for a meal. I happen to have some ingredients from the capital.”
Su Xiaoxiao rejected politely. “No, I still have something on at home. I have to go back early.”
When the three little children did not see her, they would squat in the corner again.
Seeing this, Young Master Xiang no longer insisted on asking her to stay and asked Changping to give her the consultation fee.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “You gave a lot last time. You don’t have to give it this time.”
Changping was thinking that if she was serious about not accepting payment, she should open her fist first!
However, Su Xiaoxiao grabbed the silver tightly. “Aiya, seriously, you’re treating me like an outsider. I already said no.”
Chang Ping was speechless.
….
After leaving the Academy, Su Xiaoxiao went to Spring Willow Alley again.
Doctor Fu was making another house call.
However, this time, it was in town and could come back at night.
Su Xiaoxiao was here to deliver antihypertensive medicine. Counting the days, Aunt Fu should have finished her medicine.
“Did you take your medicine well?” Su Xiaoxiao asked routinely.
“I didn’t take it!” Aunt Fu replied unhappily.
She took her blood pressure and found it to be normal.
It would be strange if she didn’t take the medicine. She probably didn’t miss a dose.
Su Xiaoxiao looked straight at her and smiled mischievously. “Aunt Fu, you’ve gained weight. Your appetite has been good recently, right?”
Aunt Fu denied it. “Nonsense! My appetite is terrible! I can’t eat anything! It’s your medicine! Also, my leg is broken and I’m in so much pain. How can I be in the mood to eat!”
“Aunt Fu, I brought you tonic soup! It’s stewed with the cordyceps you gave me. It smells good!”
The woman next door walked in with a bowl of steaming tonic soup and a smile.
It was obvious that this was not the first time she had done this.
When she saw Su Xiaoxiao, she was stunned at first. Then, her gaze landed on the empty plate on the bedside table and her body trembled!
“Aunt Fu, there were three big pancakes. I only went to make soup. Don’t tell me you ate them all?”
Aunt Fu’s face turned red!
“I didn’t! She ate it!”
She decisively pushed the blame onto Su Xiaoxiao.
In the next second, she burped.
….
Seeing Aunt Fu die of embarrassment was simply a joy in life. Su Xiaoxiao was not stingy with her laughter.
Aunt Fu’s face darkened!
With the neighbor taking good care of Aunt Fu, Su Xiaoxiao was not worried. After keeping the medicine, she brought Su Ergou and Liu Ping back to the village.
Su Xiaoxiao took the reins and said to Liu Ping, “You’ll go to the few places we went to today often in the future. Do you remember them?”
“I remember.” Liu Ping said with heartfelt admiration, “Daya, I realized that it wasn’t easy for you.”
The villagers discussed in private how Daya had earned silver. Some even asked if she had gone to steal.
If they went to see how far Daya had walked, how many places she had run to, how much she had done, and how much risk she had taken, they probably wouldn’t be able to say anything malicious.
….
Su Xiaoxiao entered the house while Su Ergou fed the donkey.
Madam Wu went home to cook for her two children. Old Master Su brought the three little ones to dig bamboo shoots in the small forest behind the kitchen. The foal lay on the warm hay in the small east room and slept.
Wei Ting was nowhere to be seen.
Eh? Where did that guy go?
In the forest to the east of the official road, Wei Ting stood under a snow-covered tree with a cold expression.
“My lord!”
A man in black knelt on one knee and cupped his hands. “I came late. Please forgive me!”
Wei Ting glanced at the bushes at the side and said calmly, “Have the marks been destroyed?”
The man in black said, “Everything on the way here has been destroyed!”
Su Xiaoxiao thought that Wei Ting had another motive for coming to the official road last time. She was half right. He did have something to do. Although he didn’t dig for treasures, he left marks.
...
“Sir, are the little masters alright?”
“Yeah.”
Not only were they fine? They were simply so happy that they had forgotten about home! They had forgotten their surname!
Wei Ting’s eyes turned cold.
The man in black sensed Wei Ting’s emotions and could not help but wonder if the little masters were doing well or not.
If they weren’t doing well, why did he say yes?
If they lived well, why this bitter expression?
The man in black returned to the topic. “My lord, since you and the little masters are safe, can we set off for the capital?”
Wei Ting said, “Not yet. We have to take back the Commander’s Seal first.”
The man in black’s eyes lit up. “Sir, have you obtained the Commander’s Seal?”
He had originally obtained it, but now he had lost it…
...
Wei Ting frowned and said, “You don’t have to worry about this. I have my own ideas.”
“Yes!” The man in black continued, “Your Excellency, Young Marquis Jing has left the capital. I suspect that he has also come to Qingzhou to inquire about the Commander’s Seal.”
Wei Ting pondered.
A moment later, he gestured to the man in black.
“Go do something.”
Had the lord finally given him a mission?
The man in black was extremely excited. He cupped his fists and said, “Sir, please instruct me! I will go through fire and water!”
Wei Ting said, “Cut a bundle of firewood.”
The man in black was dumbfounded.
….
When Wei Ting carried the firewood out of the forest, it was almost noon.
At this moment, the villagers were eating at home with their doors closed. There were not many people outside.
Wei Ting had specially chosen this time.
However, just as he passed by the village entrance, he happened to bump into Su Jinniang, who had come to the well to get water.
