254 Fighting Fake (2)

“You know this?”

Su Mo was too surprised.

Thinking of something, Su Mo asked in a complicated manner, “Don’t tell me you relied on these… abilities… to please my uncle and cousin?”

“No,” Wei Ting said shamelessly. “I relied on my looks.”

Su Mo was speechless.

Su Mo came today for serious business, but he almost forgot what he was doing after Wei Ting’s flirtatious words.

The three well-dressed little ones came to the backyard to wash up. When they smelled the fragrance, they came in for a walk.

Su Mo had been here a few times. The three little ones knew him and called him Uncle Su obediently.

Seeing that there was nothing delicious, they clattered out again.

“Are they really your sons?”

Su Mo asked Wei Ting.

“Yes,” Wei Ting agreed calmly.

“Where’s the children’s mother?” Su Mo asked.

He would not allow another woman to come out and fight with his cousin.

Regardless of whether he had feelings for Su Xiaoxiao or not, this was the dignity of the heirs of the Su family.

Wei Ting looked out. “There.”

Su Mo followed his gaze and saw Su Xiaoxiao, who had prepared a small basin for the three little ones.

The three little ones rubbed their heads against her body and were extremely clingy.

Su Mo took a deep breath. This guy refused to say.

Forget it, he would investigate it himself.

Wei Ting did not sleep the entire night. After burning the fire, he returned to the house to catch up on his sleep.

He had his own room next door to Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Mo could not understand. What exactly were these two…

On the other side, Qin Canglan woke up.

Because he had taken the calming soup, he slept very soundly that night. When he woke up, his head no longer hurt and he no longer felt nauseous.

The general’s physique was really strong. Su Xiaoxiao put away the blood pressure gauge. “You can go back.”

“Ah…”

Qin Canglan could not bear to leave.

However, the matter had not been resolved. It was useless for him to stay here.

He had to investigate what had happened back then.

“Can I… go see your father and brother first?”

Qin Canglan had never had such a humble moment. As if he was worried about being rejected, he added, “I won’t say anything!”

Su Xiaoxiao closed the small medicine box. “Okay.”

Qin Canglan went to Su Cheng’s room.

The father and son were sleeping soundly. They usually looked fierce, but they were surprisingly benign in their sleep.

Qin Canglan looked at them with a burning gaze for a long time until his throat hurt.

Su Ergou opened his eyes in a daze and asked in a daze, “Sister, are you selling pancakes?”

Selling pancakes…

His biological grandson… actually lived a life selling pancakes in the countryside…

Su Xiaoxiao walked in. “We’re not selling pancakes today. Go to sleep.”

“Oh, call me if you’re selling them.” Su Ergou turned around and fell asleep again.

Qin Canglan had his back facing the door. He held his thighs with both hands to support his swaying body.

Su Xiaoxiao placed the folded clothes in the cabinet and looked at Qin Canglan’s back. “Breakfast is ready.”

Qin Canglan raised his hand to wipe his red eyes and sniffed. He said in a normal tone, “Got it. I’ll be right there.”

…

Su Xiaoxiao’s culinary skills were extremely good. The buns she casually made smelled even better than the ones sold in the shops.

However, the more this was the case, the more upset Qin Canglan felt.

The children of the poor took charge early. If not for the fact that she was wandering among the commoners, why would she need to wash clothes and cook?

Qin Yanran didn’t even know how to peel corn cobs, but this girl could already do so much rough work.

It took him a moment to find his voice. “You guys… lived the same way in the countryside.”

“No,” Su Xiaoxiao said.

Qin Canglan was about to heave a sigh of relief when he heard Su Xiaoxiao say, “The city is much more comfortable than the countryside. In the countryside, other than washing clothes and cooking, you have to go to the village entrance to get water, chop firewood on the mountain, and pick vegetables. When times are good, you feed pigs and raise chickens. When times are bad, you don’t even have to feed pigs.”

Qin Canglan’s heart ached.

Su Xiaoxiao continued, “Later on, our family began to make snacks.”

...

Qin Canglan asked in a daze, “Were… were you up so early too?”

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “It was much earlier than this. From midnight, I set up my stall at five o’clock. In the dead of winter, Ergou and I stood at the entrance of Jin Ji with a tray hanging around our necks… Jin Ji is the largest snack shop in our town. Ergou shouted, ‘Selling pancakes… Fragrant and sweet wife pancakes…’. I’m fat and can withstand the cold. Ergou is thin and wears thin clothes. The back of his hand and ears were covered in frostbite.”

“I asked Ergou if he likes to sell pancakes. Ergou said that he likes them because if he sells pancakes, he won’t have to starve anymore.”

Qin Canglan finally couldn’t control himself anymore. Hot tears fell into the bowl.

…

Su Mo arranged for two carriages.

Qin Canglan sat in the carriage in front, and he and Su Xiaoxiao sat in the second carriage.

“What you said just now… is all true, right?” Su Mo said.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at him in confusion and realized that he was referring to her “reflections” to Qin Canglan at the dining table.

She said, “Didn’t you investigate?”

Su Mo said, “I’ve investigated.”

...

However, hearing someone else’s report was completely different from hearing it from her.

Throughout the entire process, she did not complain or feel any grief or anger. However, the more she played it down, the more shocking it was.

How much hardship had she experienced to be so calm when she mentioned it?

Su Xiaoxiao told him the news that Wei Ting had found.

Su Mo frowned slightly. “You mean… it’s very likely that Qin Che has already discovered Uncle and deliberately found a cover to lure Granduncle away. Then, he sent someone over… to investigate or…”

To silence him.

He did not say the last two words.

There was no need for him to say anything.

Su Xiaoxiao had also considered this possibility.

“Then why didn’t he attack?” Su Mo was puzzled.

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “Isn’t this Qin Canglan? Wasn’t afraid that Qin Canglan would recognize him?”

Su Mo nodded. “Did you see what that person looked like?”

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head. “No. Wei Ting said that he had been wearing a bamboo hat to cover his face.”

Su Mo pondered. “I’m afraid this matter isn’t that simple.”

At the Protector Duke’s Estate, Qin Che sat in the study for the entire night.

At dawn, a servant finally came to report that the Old Master had returned.

Qin Che looked at the light coming in from the window and suddenly felt it was a little blinding.

“High Duke, High Duke?”

The servant called out twice.

Qin Che came back to his senses. “What did you say just now?”

The servant was shocked by Qin Che’s sudden stunned gaze. He said nervously, “Old… Old Master is back. He’s waiting for you in the study.”

“What should come is finally here…”

Qin Che laughed crazily, scaring the servant until his face turned pale.

What was wrong with the Duke today?

Qin Che dusted his wide sleeves and stood up. He tidied his clothes in front of the bronze mirror.

He smiled and asked the servant, “Do I look rude like this?”

The servant was confused. “No, it’s not rude. It’s quite good!”

Generally speaking, the High Duke would only pay so much attention to his appearance during court. The servant was nervous, but he did not dare to ask.

“Let’s go.” Qin Che said with a smile.

He walked confidently to Qin Canglan’s study.

The bump on Qin Canglan’s forehead had yet to subside. It must have been knocked by Su Cheng.

Qin Che bowed respectfully. “Father.”

Qin Canglan said to the servants in the room, “All of you, leave!”

“Yes.”

Everyone obediently left. The last person did not forget to close the door for the two of them.

Qin Canglan was not a person who liked to beat around the bush. This was probably a common trait of many generals. They were too straightforward and disdained to play tricks.

Except for war.

Qin Canglan sat down on the main seat and looked coldly at Qin Che’s face.

“Don’t call me father. I already know.”

Boom!

A shocking explosion sounded in Qin Che’s mind.
