Madam Chen was stunned. “Ah, oh, I think I’ve called her that before.”
Madam Chu said, “I just said to get soone to call you. Since Little Seven’s marriage has been decided, we plan to visit Mother and tell her this good news.”
Madam Jiang muttered softly, “Will Mom be happy?
Madam Li quietly patted her hand and signaled her to shut up. Madam Jiang coughed lightly. “Then let’s go!”
The group went to the small courtyard in the west of the residence.
This place was far from the central axis of the residence. It was in a quiet area near a small orchard.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, they slled the refreshing fragrance of peaches.
Madam Jiang exclaid, “Mother planted peaches again this year! ”
Under a peach tree in the courtyard, a plainly dressed Madam was picking peaches.
“Mother.” Madam Chu stepped forward and bowed, reaching for the basket in her hand. “I’ll do it.”
Madam Wei gave her the basket. Her movents were light and slow, and her expression was calm.
“Mother.”
Madam Li also greeted her and went forward to help pick peaches.
Madam Chu turned around and looked at Madam Jiang and Madam Chen.
“What are the two of you waiting for? Co and pick peaches.”
“Coming, Sister-in-law.” Madam Jiang pulled Madam Chen’s sleeve and ca to the peach tree to pluck it silently.
Lord Wei had planted four peach trees in the courtyard. This year, there were many peaches and they could not fit them in one basket.
“That’s enough. Co and sit,” Madam Wei said.
The few of them walked over and sat around the stone table.
There were only four stone stools. Madam Chu, Madam Li, and Madam Chen sat down while Madam Lan and Madam Jiang stood. After all, the two of them were the fourth and fifth.
Madam Wei lived alone with only a maidservant by her side. Over the past few days, the maidservant’s mother had fallen ill, so Madam Wei asked her to go back and accompany her mother.
Madam Chu said softly, “Mother, your place is too cold. I’ll choose another smart servant.”
Madam Wei did not answer.
She picked up a peach branch and removed a small worm from it.
Madam Jiang sweated. She had plucked it and pulled off the peach branch. Madam Wei said calmly, “It’s neither a festival nor a big day today. Why are you here?”
Madam Chu said, “Little Seven is getting married.”
Madam Wei’s expression was still indifferent. “Is that so?”
Madam Chu continued, “With the eldest daughter of the Protector Duke.”
Snap.
The peach branch in Madam Wei’s hand broke.
Su Xiaoxiao was too busy yesterday and only sent the snacks to Ling Yun today.
Ling Yun’s face darkened and he said nothing.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “To apologize, I made two more boxes of almond pastries.”
Ling Yun said coldly, “Only two boxes? Do you think I’m a beggar?”
“Then…”
“Three boxes!”
Su Xiaoxiao muttered, “I was about to say five boxes…’
While Su Xiaoxiao was delivering snacks, she took Ling Yun’s pulse and asked about his diet.
Ever since he took the digestive enzy, his symptoms of indigestion had decreased a lot and he almost stopped vomiting.
However, things that were too difficult to digest were still not suitable for him to eat.
The snacks Su Xiaoxiao made for him were all made with reduced sugar oil.
Seeing that there was finally so flesh on his sunken cheeks, Su Xiaoxiao felt relieved.
“What are you looking at?” Ling Yun sensed Su Xiaoxiao’s gaze and asked coldly.
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “You were too thin in the past. You’re a little normal now. You seem quite handso.”
Ling Yun hugged the snack and gave her a disdainful look which seed to say, who would care about this?
He entered the house expressionlessly.
Fifteen minutes later, chattering sounds ca from inside.
“Teacher, what are you doing?”
“Idiot, Master is looking at himself in the mirror!”
“Xiaohu wants to look too! Also, Xiaohu is not an idiot. Dahu is an idiot!”
In the afternoon, Su MO ca over.
He had just finished training in the military camp and ca to see Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou.
Su Ergou was sitting in his room, forced by his two cousins to make up for his lessons. He had a headache.
Su Xiaoxiao had just finished brewing an ointnt and scooped a spoonful for Su MO to try.
“How is it?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
“It’s sweet and has the fragrance of red dates and peanuts. It’s delicious,” Su MO said. “What is this for?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Oh, that’s for replenishing insufficient qi and blood during the nstrual period!”
Su MO was speechless.
Su Xiaoxiao sent the brewed ointnt to the Number One Hall and was going to et Broker Li.
Su MO sent her there.
In the carriage, Su MO asked her, “You don’t have to go to the palace to study. I thought you would be free, but you’re even busier than before.” This girl seed to always have endless things to do.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “It’s so boring to be idle.”
Su MO paused and said seriously, “Even then, you can’t stir up a torturous wedding with Wei Ting.”
Su Xiaoxiao sighed. “How can this be called torture? I’m just trying to lure the snake out of its hole!”
Su MO hit the nail on the head. “You’re doing this for Wei Ting, right?”
Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said, “Who cares for those two mouthfuls of flesh—cough, no, I’m really thinking about the big picture.”
She definitely did not want to tie Wei Ting to the bed, tear his clothes, touch his abs, and treat him like this!
Su MO was speechless.
“Isn’t this risky?” Su MO asked.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Of course it’s risky.”
However, this was a risk they were all willing to take. She, Wei Ting, Matriarch Wei, and Qin Canglan were all in on it.
Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin. Eh, she seed to be missing her double chin.
“That mole already knows that Wei Ting and I have been betrothed. What do you think he will do?”
Su MO analyzed, “He will definitely jump out and ruin your marriage with Wei Ting. There are only two ways. Either sow discord between the two families and let them take the initiative to break off the engagent, or let the two families be forced to terminate the marriage. The reason for the termination is none other than that sothing happened to soone, so you and Wei Ting have to be especially careful next…”
As soon as he finished speaking, he frowned. “Soone’s following us.”
Su Xiaoxiao tocused. “Behind!”
“Yes.” Su MO nodded.
Su Xiaoxiao lifted a corner of the curtain at the back window.
A figure quickly flashed into the shop on the street.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly. “You took the bait so quickly?”
The carriage turned into an alley.
Su MO got out of the carriage. “I’ll buy you so osmanthus cake.”
“Hurry up and co back!” Su Xiaoxiao said loudly.
Su MO left generously.
After confirming that Su MO had walked far away, a sneaky figure quickly entered the alley.
Su Xiaoxiao leaned against the pillow and narrowed her eyes.
That person quietly got up the carriage and slowly raised the curtain with the weapon in his hand.
Now!
Su Xiaoxiao opened her eyes in a second and hooked the other party to the floor of the carriage with her chubby feet. She threw the weapon in his hand. He quickly picked up a small stool at the side and threw it at Su Xiaoxiao!
How could Su Xiaoxiao let him succeed?
She slapped the stool away, then took a big step forward and sat down, grabbing his hands behind his back.
He lay on the floor, his thin body taking the weight he couldn’t take.
Su Xiaoxiao quickly took off his mask.
Seeing his face, Su Xiaoxiao was stunned.. “It’s you?
