“She knew that her identity had been exposed. In order not to implicate the Wei family, she escaped alone. When the secret guards beside Grandmother rushed to the scene, they only found a bag of fallen herbs on the ground.”
“They were for stabilizing one’s pregnancy.”
This way, it was not difficult to explain why she did not invite a doctor in the residence but went out for a consultation.
She might have sensed that she was pregnant herself.
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and asked, “She and your sixth brother…”
Wei Ting said slowly, “Sixth Brother went to the border a month ago.
Grandmother didn’t say that she had disappeared and only wrote to ask Sixth Brother what was going on. Sixth Brother said that they had long been engaged. He didn’t care that she was a little mute girl. He won’t marry anyone but her in his life. He said that he would marry her gloriously when he came back from winning the war.”
“It was not that Grandmother couldn’t tell that the two of them had feelings for each other. She knew that this marriage is impossible. In order to sever Sixth Brother’s thoughts about the young princess, she made the decision to arrange a marriage for Sixth Brother and the Guo family.”
The Guo family… This surname was a little familiar.
The Guo family… This surname was a little familiar.
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “What happened next?”
Wei Ting said, “Later on, the young princess hid everywhere with the fetus in her stomach and gave birth to Dahu and the others. For nearly three years, she was pursued countless times. Later on, there was one time when she really couldn’t hide anymore. She carried a child made of straw and jumped off the cliff.’
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “One?”
Wei Ting explained, “On the way to escape, she once saved a wet nurse. She used some methods to make those who were chasing after her think that she had only given birth to one child. The other two were the wet nurse’s children. Their faces had always been dirty to prevent them from being recognized as triplets. ”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Had the wet nurse been taking care of them since then?”
Wei Ting nodded. “The wet nurse didn’t know what to do, so she could only lock them up.”
“For how long?”
“I don’t know. It could be a month, two months, or more…’
When they found the wet nurse, she was already dead. They interrogated the killer and found out that the young princess had been killed a few months ago. No one knew how long it had been since the three children saw the light.
When they were first carried out, the three of them were in a daze and did not react to the outside world. They were afraid of the sunlight.
Su Xiaoxiao thought of the first time she met the children. At that time, they had already recovered a lot.
“You took good care of them,” she said.
“You too,” Wei Ting said.
It was rare for the two of them not to retort each other.
Wei Ting said in a low voice, “It’s a pity that Sixth Brother didn’t know that he had three children in the world until he died in battle.”
Throughout the entire process, Wei Ting did not say a word of sadness or shed a tear.
His fingertips trembled slightly.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t say anything and gently held his hand.
“Eh? I think I heard Little Seven’s voice!”
“Really? Where?”
Wei Ting’s body trembled and he pulled himself out of his sadness in a second!
Su Xiaoxiao asked strangely, “Eh, that voice is—”
Wei Ting took a deep breath. “My fifth sister-in-law.”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “No wonder it sounds familiar. The other person…”
Wei Ting closed his eyes. “My grandmother.”
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Old Madam Wei got someone to stop the carriage.
Madam Jiang jumped off the ground.
Madam Jiang married into the Wei family five years ago. She was actually only a year older than Wei Ting, so her words were really an exaggeration.
She came to Wei Ting’s carriage and sized up the coachman. “You don’t look familiar.’
The coachman said politely, “Madam, what can I do for you?”
Madam Jiang snorted. “Cut the crap and let Little Seven out!”
The coachman looked puzzled. “I don’t understand.”
“Get out of the way!” Madam Jiang got into the carriage and lifted the curtain.
The carriage was empty. There was no one there.
She muttered, “Impossible… I clearly heard Little Seven’s voice… I won’t hear wrongly…”
Old Madam Wei lifted the curtain and looked at the bustling streets. She shouted indifferently, “Fu Su!”
A figure descended from the sky.
He had just landed on one foot when he suddenly realized that he had been exposed.
If he was nearby, didn’t that mean that Young Master was also there?
He couldn’t place his other foot or not. He just stood there on one foot.
In the alley, Wei Ting, who was holding Su Xiaoxiao’s wrist, raised his hand to cover his eyes.
His grandmother was more experienced after all…
“I’ll look for you another day.”
With that, he walked out of the alley helplessly.
“Grandmother.”
He stood by the carriage and greeted Matriarch Wei through the window. Old Madam Wei glanced at him. “Didn’t you go to be a riding and shooting teacher?”
“Class is over.”
“Why didn’t you return to the residence after class?”
Wei Ting smiled. “Aren’t I… here to pick you and Fifth Sister-in-law up? “Bullsh*t!” Madam Jiang jumped down from Wei Ting’s carriage. “You didn’t know we would come here!”
“Fifth Sister-in-law…
Old Madam Wei Ting interrupted him. “Stop talking nonsense!”
Wei Ting decisively changed the topic. “Grandmother, why did you leave the residence?”
Matriarch Wei did not leave the residence easily. Old Madam Wei said coldly, “Can’t I come out for a walk?”
Wei Ting said, “Alright, I’ll accompany you.”
Old Madam Wei said, “I think you just don’t want to return to the residence!” Wei Ting covered his chest in hurt. “Sigh, I’m sincere. Why do I always let others treat me like a mule?”
Old Madam Wei instructed the secret guard, “Fu Su, bring Little Seven back to the residence!”
The secret guard whispered to Wei Ting, “Young Master, let’s go.” Wei Ting and Fu Su got into the carriage back to the residence.
Old Madam Wei and Madam Jiang’s carriage continued forward.
As Wei Ting turned around to look at the departing carriage from the window, a trace of contemplation flashed across his eyes.
When Su Xiaoxiao arrived home, Physician Fu had been waiting in the central room for a long time.
Beside him sat a middle-aged man in his early forties. Physician Fu was actually about the same age as him, but Physician Fu looked anxious and had experienced many vicissitudes.
“Miss Su.” Physician Fu waved at Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao walked over.
Physician Fu introduced, “Broker Li.”
Protector Li cupped his hands politely. “Miss Su.”
The last time Su Xiaoxiao went to the Marquis of Zhenbei’s Estate, she had discussed her future plans with Physician Fu.
Su Xiaoxiao thought that she could open a medical center in the capital, but
Physician Fu was thinking about Aunt Fu and said that he would consider it.
However, now that he had brought a broker, he should have thought it through.
“Sit down for a while.’
After Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking, the two of them watched as she took out a bag made of cowhide from her homemade book bag.
She opened the bag and emptied it. Broker Li screamed in fear. “Snake—”
Physician Fu walked over with interest. “Silver Ring Snake? It’s quite fat. Where did you catch it?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “In the palace.”
Physician Fu was speechless.
Su Xiaoxiao finished dealing with the snake and gallbladder and went to Ling
Yun.
When the three little ones heard that she was going out, they hugged her legs and wanted to be with her.
“I can’t even see Mother during the day,” Xiaohu wheedled.
Although he was very happy to be in class, he only wanted to be with his mother after class.
Su Xiaoxiao scratched his head in amusement and brought the three little fellows along.
On the way back, she kissed them one by one.
The three of them covered their red faces and were extremely shy.
“Mother, why did you kiss us?” Erhu asked.
Su Xiaoxiao bent down and touched his head. She said softly, “It’s just that suddenly, I really want to kiss you..”
