Chapter 188 - 188 Plot
188 Plot
The siblings went to Wutong Academy together.
Although Su Ergou was 14 years old and seemed to have passed the age of being clingy, he was actually still a baby at heart. He liked to be with his sister.
“Sister, there are three pancakes left today!”
He couldn’t bear to eat them and wanted to leave them for his sister, although his sister didn’t lack food.
“You eat,” Su Xiaoxiao said.
Su Ergou took a bite of the pancake. “Are you still trying to lose weight? I don’t think you’re fat anymore.”
Compared to two months ago, Su Xiaoxiao could be considered to have lost a lot of weight, but she was still a little fatty.
Su Ergou had his own brother filter.
She had not doted on this brother for nothing.
As they spoke, the two of them arrived at the back door of the academy.
Su Ergou seemed to have suddenly been provoked and stuffed the last two pancakes into his mouth.
Then, he said, “There are no more pancakes!”
The lonely old man was speechless.
The weather today was not bad. Dean Shen brought Zhou Xing to the courtyard to dry his books.
Zhou Xing saw the siblings at the door and hurriedly said to Dean Shen, “Master, Miss Su and Brother Su are here.”
Dean Shen handed the book in his hand to Zhou Xing and asked him to continue drying the books.
The siblings went forward to greet Dean Shen. Dean Shen and Su Xiaoxiao went into the room to talk. Su Ergou was curious about what Zhou Xing was doing and squatted down to dry the books with him.
Others were showing off their books, but he was showing off himself.
In the study, Dean Shen asked a servant to serve tea to Su Xiaoxiao and said politely, “I heard that you came to look for me. I wasn’t around because I went to another academy to teach.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “I went to the prefecture city a few days ago. I wanted to ask if Dean Shen had anything for Shen Chuan.”
Thinking of his son, a trace of longing appeared in Dean Shen’s eyes. No matter how strict he was with Shen Chuan, he was still his flesh and blood. Everything he did was for Shen Chuan’s future.
“Miss Su, thank you. Is he… doing well in the prefecture city?”
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment. “To be honest, the first time I saw him, I didn’t feel like he was in a good state.”
Dean Shen’s heart tightened.
Su Xiaoxiao continued, “However, when I saw him this time, it was obvious that his condition is different. Dean Shen, you have a very capable son. Your decision to send him to the prefecture capital academy was the right one.”
Letting Shen Chuan train to become stronger in an unfamiliar environment might be Dean Shen’s true motive for sending him to the prefecture city.
“This kid…” Dean Shen revealed a rare gratified smile.
Su Xiaoxiao took out a letter. “This is the letter Shen Chuan asked me to bring you.”
Dean Shen looked calm, but he was actually excited as he took the letter.
Su Xiaoxiao stood up and said, “Dean Shen, take your time. I’ll leave first.”
Dean Shen sincerely urged her to stay. “Miss Su, have a meal before leaving.”
Su Xiaoxiao politely declined. “No, the children are still waiting. If we go back late, they’ll make a fuss.”
Dean Shen had heard from his son that Miss Su was already the mother of three children. It was unbelievable. She was clearly still so young…
When Su Xiaoxiao came out of the study, she saw Su Ergou talking to Changping.
It was unknown what Su Ergou said, but Changping laughed out loud.
Halfway through his laughter, he saw Su Xiaoxiao.
He stopped laughing in a second. “I’ll leave first. Let’s talk next time.”
With that, he snorted coldly and walked away.
With Changping around, Young Master Xiang and Jing Yi should have returned to the academy.
As she was thinking, a servant pushed a wheelchair over.
In the wheelchair sat the square-faced Wu Mu.
It was this square-faced man who caught her digging in the snow and wanted to search her for the token.
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly smiled gloatingly. “Isn’t this Lord Wu Mu? Aiya, why is your leg limping?”
Wu Mu was furious. If he hadn’t followed this little fat girl, would he have been hit by a slingshot and broken a leg?
After that, he went to ask around. At that time, a servant and an old man guarding the door were playing with slingshots at the door. They were weak and it was purely a coincidence that they could hit him.
Although he was unlucky, Wu Mu could not help but blame the little girl.
“Just you wait. When I recover, I’ll definitely investigate you thoroughly!”
He was a martial artist. His recovery was very fast!
Slurp!
The wheelchair flipped forward. Wu Mu was facing down and was pressed into the mud by the wheelchair.
“Yes, yes, yes, I’m sorry!” Zhou Xing turned around and realized that he had knocked over Wu Mu’s wheelchair.
Wu Mu’s other leg was dislocated…
Fifteen minutes later, Su Xiaoxiao left the academy in a good mood.
She weighed the silver ingots, which were still warm, in her hand.
She had reattached Wu Mu’s dislocated leg. For five taels.
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “By the way, what were you talking to Changping about just now?”
Su Ergou blinked. “Nothing.”
In the room, Young Master Xiang was painting in front of the window.
Changping bowed in and bowed respectfully. “Young Master, it’s done.”
Young Master Xiang raised his brush and outlined a winding mountain range on the drawing paper. “What did you say?”
Changping said, “I told him that I saw him and Miss Su the last time, but I didn’t report it to you in time. If I had reported it, you would definitely have sent someone to take care of them so that he wouldn’t be bullied by the young master. Because of this, you were angry with me. I asked him to remember to put in a good word for me in front of you the next time he sees you. Then, I gave him the box of white jade ointment from the Imperial Hospital in the capital. I asked him to keep it a secret for me. He’s not even allowed to tell his sister.”
Young Master Xiang asked, “He didn’t suspect anything?”
Changping smiled and said, ” I told him it’s not the first time I’ve offended his sister. If his sister finds out that I bribed him, she will definitely stop me! This reason is very sufficient. He won’t suspect anything!”
Young Master Xiang said, “You did very well. Now, let’s see if he will use this bottle of ointment.”
Changping said, “He definitely will! Only that person in their family is injured, and I heard that he has been injured for more than a month. This medicine is priceless. Even that person can’t help but use it.”
…
“Brother-in-law!”
After Su Ergou arrived home, the first thing he did was look for Wei Ting.
“Why are you making so much noise?” Father Su was woken up by him and walked out of the house unhappily.
“Dad, where’s Brother-in-law?” Su Ergou asked.
“Feeding the horses.” Father Su remembered seeing his son-in-law feeding the horses in the backyard before he slept.
Su Ergou went to the backyard. “He’s not there.”
His brother-in-law and the pony were not around, nor were the three little ones.
“You wanted to see me?”
Wei Ting came out of the east room.
“Brother-in-law! So you’re in the room!” Su Ergou walked forward with bright eyes and looked around. He said mysteriously, “Come, let’s talk in the house!”
The two of them entered the room.
“What’s wrong?” Wei Ting asked.
Su Ergou sneakily took out a bottle of ointment from his pouch and said, “Brother-in-law, look! High-grade ointment! From the capital! It’s said to be for the emperor’s use! The effect is especially good!”
