Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When it was almost midnight, the banquet ended. Emperor Jing Xuan returned to his bedroom, and the others left one after another.
Old Matriarch Wei held her mighty tiger-headed walking stick and led the valiant won of the Wei family out of the Qilin Hall. She simply walked with the aura of a marching army.
The three little ones were energetic and ran around the palace. Wei Ting crossed his arms in the cold wind and looked at them happily.
What was worth ntioning was that other than Zhuge Qing, the strategist of the Western Jin Dynasty, the won of the Wei family were in the lilight today. In particular, Madam Chen’s move had shut many people up.
Apart from that, there were two other people who attracted a lot of attention. The first was Su Xiaoxiao.
In the past, everyone only thought that she was a little fat girl who did whatever she wanted, but tonight, they felt that she was indescribably beautiful. Her face was almost comparable to Bai Xihe’s.
As for the other, it was i Ji, who was beside Wei Qing.
She was naturally charming and had an exquisite figure. Coupled with the fact that she was not wearing too heavy clothes, her waist and top-notch figure were outlined to the extre.
Xiao Duye’s gaze never left her.
i Ji glared at him in disdain and pushed Wei Qing’s wheelchair out.
“Princess Hui An, please wait.”
Su Xiaoxiao stopped Princess Hui An outside the hall.
Princess Hui An raised her chin and said, ‘Why? Can’t bear to part with ?”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and handed her a brocade box. “I brought a small gift for
Princess Hui An from Western Jin.”
Princess Hui An’s eyes lit up, but she quickly returned to normal. She took the brocade box with a proud expression and opened it. It was a dazzling gem.
She liked gorgeous things like gems. The previous ti, Su Xiaoxiao gave her a purple gem. This ti, it was a pink gem. It was three tis better-looking tnan tne last ti.
She couldn’t hide the love in her eyes anymore, but she looked forced. “Is it only for this ti?”
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “There’s only one gem of this quality in the West Capital. I don’t have a second one to give to anyone.”
Princess Jingning liked jade, so she gave her a pair of imperial green bracelets.
Only then did Princess Hui An look satisfied.
At this mont, Princess Jingning walked over.
Princess Hui An closed the brocade box and went back to show it off to Jingning!
Princess Jingning said to Hui An, “Aren’t you going back? Aren’t you afraid that Consort Xian will wait for you? The Wei family mbers are all waiting for her in the carriage.”
Princess Hui An snorted. “What’s wrong with saying a few words to my sidekick? Do I need you to remind ?”
Princess Jingning said calmly, “Has she acknowledged that she’s your sidekick?”
“She acknowledges it in her heart!” Princess Hui An would never show weakness in front of Jingning. She thought of sothing and turned to look at Su Xiaoxiao. “Little sidekick, where are the letters you wrote to ? Why didn’t I receive any?”
“Huh?” Su Xiaoxiao was stunned.
Princess Hui An continued, “Did you only write and not send them?”
Su Xiaoxiao blinked.
“Don’t tell you didn’t write them?” Princess Hui An stomped her feet. “You promised to write to !”
Su Xiaoxiao searched through the few mories in her mind and it seed she did indeed reply casually on a dark night.
The conversation went like this:
“Rember to write to when you’re free.”
“Yeah.”
Didn’t such polite words usually an that she didn’t need to write?
Princess Hui An said angrily, “Don’t tell you don’t even have the ti to write to ? Not to ntion one every three days, there isn’t even one every ten days?”
Princess Jingning also looked at Su Xiaoxiao, as if asking, “Where’s my letter?”
Su Xiaoxiao muttered,” Why do I feel that there’s going to be a fire in the backyard again…”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “I wrote them, but I didn’t send them. They’re in my bag.” Princess Hui An said solemnly, “Then enter the palace tomorrow and bring it to !”
Su Xiaoxiao’s smile remained. “I’m going back to the Public House tomorrow.”
Princess Hui An said firmly, “Then the day after tomorrow! If you can’t co over, I’ll go to your residence to get them myself!”
Two days, twenty-four letters… Soone should just kill her.
The three little ones played crazily in the palace and exhausted all their strength. Finally, they stuck out their butts and fell asleep on the grass.
“Hmph.”
Wei Ting walked over with a cold expression and picked up the three brats. He could only carry two in a pair. He turned around and said to the darkness, “Give a hand?”
The assassin walked out of the night and picked up the last child.
The group got into the carriage at the entrance of the palace.
Madam Lu’s carriage happened to be beside the Wei family’s carriage.
She actually did not have much hatred for the Wei family. At most, she was jealous and looked down on them. She was jealous of Zhuge Qing’s attitude towards the Wei family and looked down on the Wei family’s current downfall.
Without military power, there was only one son left, and he was not liked by the emperor. Sooner or later, he would decline.
After landing Zhuge Qing, the Wei family could do whatever they wanted. If the Wei family had the ability, they would keep Zhuge Qing, but that was impossible!
“Madam Lu, why are you staring at my carriage?” Su Xiaoxiao lifted the curtain and looked at her with a faint smile.
Madam Lu ca back to her senses, and a trace of displeasure flashed across her eyes.
It was this girl who ruined her daughter’s marriage with Su Mo. She was really annoying! When her son-in-law ascended the throne and beca the emperor, she would teach this girl a lesson!
She snorted coldly and stepped on the car stool.
At this mont, a parrot flew through the air and landed on Duchess Lu’s forehead.
“Ah—” She scread and missed a step, breaking the bridge of her nose on the car bench!
Wuhu successfully flew back into the carriage valiantly. It flapped their wings and looked at Su Xiaoxiao for credit.
Su Xiaoxiao gave it a piece of bird food in anger and amusent.
There was only one!
The feathers of Wuhu exploded
“Forget it.”
Su Xiaoxiao reached out to take back the bird food.
The worker used its wings to wrap the bird food. One was better than nothing.
This was the first day it missed having six pieces of bird food.
After returning to the residence, Su Xiaoxiao began to sit under the oil lamp and rush the letters. Her face was scrunched up with vengeance.
When Wei Ting sent the three children to Matriarch Wei’s courtyard, a certain fat peacock had already fallen asleep on the table.
Wei Ting took the brush from her hand and placed it back on the shelf before carrying her horizontally.
Su Xiaoxiao opened her eyes in a daze. “Wei Ting, help write…”
Wei Ting said coldly, “Heh, in your dreams.”
“So be it.” Su Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and fell asleep.
She had a beautiful dream in which Wei Ting finished writing all 24 letters.
However, reality was cruel. She woke up early the next morning and wrote as much as furiously as the night before before dozing off. She managed to complete… just a pitiful half.
“Seventh Sister-in-law! It’s ti to cultivate!”
Madam Jiang ca to get her.
Su Xiaoxiao instantly woke up. “Fifth Sister-in-law! I’m going back to the
Protector’s Estate to see my father today! We’ll spar another day!”
Madam Jiang said regretfully, “Oh. Don’t forget.”
Wei Ting went to court before dawn. He left a ssage for Xing’er that he would head to the Qin family to pick Su Xiaoxiao up.
Su Xiaoxiao brought the three little fellows into the carriage to the Qin family.
On the way, Su Xiaoxiao rembered that the Directorate was not on vacation today and asked Ah Fu to make a trip there.
Ah Fu parked the carriage in a nearby alley, took the carriage stool, and placed it there. “Is Young Madam going to see the young master?”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “Yes, I’ll go see Ergou. I haven’t seen him in a long ti. I wonder if he’s grown taller.”
It was ti for the Directorate to enter school, and many students entered one after another.
Su Xiaoxiao looked for Su Ergou among the students.
Suddenly, a familiar young man’s voice sounded from behind.
“Miss… Miss Su, is that you?”
