Chapter 531: Dahu and Wuhu
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Dahu woke up halfway through his sleep. He avoided Qin Canglan’s wound and climbed out of bed.
He put on his shoes, took out the big date hidden in his pocket, and tiptoed next door.
The door to the next room was ajar.
He poked a small head in. “Uncle? Are you there?”
The only response was Xiaohu’s even snoring.
He held the door frame and crossed the threshold on his short legs, carefully protecting his jujube.
“Uncle. ”
He called out again.
In the middle of the bed was his sleeping brother.
Apart from that, the room was empty.
Dahu grabbed the big date, his small figure confused and lonely.
Why did Uncle always make it difficult for Dahu to find him?
He could not bear to eat the big dates he had especially left for his uncle.
“Dahu.”
Su Xiaoxiao walked in.
Dahu turned around; his innocent gaze made one’s heart ache.
Su Xiaoxiao picked him up. ‘What’s wrong?”
“Uncle is missing, ” Dahu said.
Wei Liulang said that Wei Ting was disobedient, but wasn’t he the same?
He was still injured.
“Is Dahu very sad?” Su Xiaoxiao asked softly.
Dahu grabbed the date and lowered his head. “A little. Dahu is only a little sad.”
Su Xiaoxiao gently pressed the little guy’s head and let him lean into her arms. “Then can I accompany Dahu?”
“Yes.” Dahu nodded and leaned into Su Xiaoxiao’s warm arms. “Does Uncle not like Dahu?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “No, he likes you very much. He just… has something he has to do.”
“Is it an adult thing?”
“Yes.”
“Will he come back?” Dahu asked.
“I guess,” Su Xiaoxiao said.
Dahu fell asleep in Su Xiaoxiao’s arms.
Su Xiaoxiao called for Su Ergou to help her carry the three sleeping little fellows into the carriage to the Marquis of Zhenbei.
Perhaps because she had been too tired these few days, she hugged Dahu and Erhu and fell asleep in the carriage.
She had a nightmare. She dreamed that Su MO fell off the cliff with serious injuries and hit a sharp rock. His chest was pierced— Su Xiaoxiao opened her eyes.
“Sister, we’re here.” Su Ergou carried Xiaohu and glanced at her. He asked, “Sister, what’s wrong?”
Su Xiaoxiao instantly calmed down. “I’m fine. It was just a dream.”
Su Ergou asked curiously, “A good dream or a nightmare?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Not a good dream.”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. It was indeed something Su Cheng would say.
The two of them carried the three little ones to the Old Marquis and Matriarch Su’s courtyard.
When she passed by the study, she heard Su Yuan discussing Su MO with the Old Marquis.
Su Yuan said, “None of the hummingbirds that were released have returned. Mo’er is probably in danger.”
The Old Marquis frowned and said, “Is that forest really so strange that even birds can’t come out?”
“Father, I’ll go look for Mo’er.”
“No, the Divine Bow Camp hasn’t been built yet. You have a mission and can’t leave your post. I’ll go to His Majesty and beg him to allow me to leave the capital. ”
Officials in the capital, especially generals, were not allowed to leave the capital on their own. They had to have official documents or Emperor Jing Xuan’s permission. Otherwise, once they were caught, they would be punished for treason.
As the two of them were talking, a eunuch from the palace came from outside.
It turned out that Emperor Jing Xuan had issued a decree ordering the Old Marquis, Su Shuo, to go to the peach forest to help Xiao Zhonghua guard the entrance.
The Old Marquis said, “The peach forest is dangerous. I heard that the two princes also entered the peach forest…”
Eunuch Quan smiled. “There’s no need for Marquis Zhenbei to worry. General Leng will protect the two princes.”
General Leng was Leng Zhiruo’s father.
Lord Wu’an had personally promoted the general. After the Wei family’s accident, he took over the Wei family’s infantry and Divine Bow Camp.
The Old Marquis did not say anything else. He put on his armor and brought his weapons to the peach forest.
Su Xiaoxiao also came out of the two elders’ courtyard.
Just as she reached the door, she bumped into Madam Tao, who had offered incense to the ancestral tablets.
Mdm Tao’s eyes were red.
“Auntie, ” Su Xiaoxiao greeted.
“Daya, it’s you ” Madam Tao smiled with tears in her eyes. “It’s so late. Do you still want to go back? Just rest at the residence. The house has been tidied up for you.”
She really treated Su Xiaoxiao as a girl in her residence. A room was prepared for Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao rejected politely. “Thank you, Auntie. I still have to go back to the
Imperial Astronomy Center. I’ll come back another day to disturb you.”
Madam Tao said, ‘What are you talking about? You’re treating me like an outsider.”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled.
Madam Tao asked with concern, “How are Uncle’s injuries?”
Su Xiaoxiao said truthfully, “He’s getting better. He should be able to return to the residence after recuperating for a few days.”
Madam Tao felt relieved. “That’s good, that’s good!”
The two families were close, and Madam Tao was sincerely filial to Qin Canglan.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at her slightly red eyes and asked, “Aunt, are you worried about Eldest Cousin?”
Madam Tao sighed and said, “It’s a lie to say that I’m not worried, but I’ve actually gotten used to it over the years. It’s not easy to be the wife of the General’s Manor. The world envies me for my glory, but they don’t know that I have to be afraid for my husband and children every day. I worry about them being ignorant and incomDetent. If thev are too outstanding. I worrv about them entering the military camp too early.. Their lives don’t belong to me.
They belong to the Great Zhou and the commoners and the Imperial Court.” Madam Tao had hidden these words in her heart for a long time.
She looked at Su Xiaoxiao and smiled awkwardly. “I spoke too much today. Don’t take it to heart.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “I think it’s quite good.”
This was the interaction with female elders. There was some nagging, but there was also warmth and family.
Madam Tao pulled Su Xiaoxiao’s hand and gently touched her temple. She smiled and said, “You child.”
“Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!”
Su Xiaoxiao asked strangely, “Who’s talking?”
“It’s the Wuhu…” Madam Tao clenched her fists.” What nonsense did Little Five teach again? ”
The three little ones came to the residence to stay for a while. They brought the foal and the mystic wind parrot.
Since Su Li had nothing to do, he went to teach the parrot how to speak.
But what good things could he teach?
Madam Tao’s hand itched again. “Daya, I have something on. I’ll go first. I won’t send you off.”
She wanted to beat up that itchy young brat!
Su Xiaoxiao was about to leave when she suddenly heard the mystic wind parrot say, “Peach forest! Peach forest! Peach forest! ”
Su Xiaoxiao stopped in her tracks.
Because the parrot had been too noisy recently, it was placed in the greenhouse at night.
Su Xiaoxiao entered the greenhouse and looked at the parrot that was not sleeping in the middle of the night. “What did you just say?” The black phoenix parrot said, “Stupid! Stupid! Stupid.
Su Xiaoxiao took out her dagger!
The mystic wind parrot panicked and plopped in the birdcage. “Long live the cult master! Long live the cult master! Long live the cult master!”
Su Xiaoxiao’s almond-shaped eyes widened. Was this a parrot from the White Lotus Society?!
Su Xiaoxiao took the black cloth and covered the birdcage. The mystic wind parrot said, “It’s so dark! So dark!”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “I’ll stew you if you make any more noise!”
The mystic wind parrot instantly cowered.
Su Xiaoxiao carried the birdcage out of the Duke Mansion, got on the horse, and hung it on the saddle. The parrot whispered, “It’s so dark
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless..
