Qin Yanran didn’t know how she left the grassland.
Was Wei Ting supporting that girl?
Why?
As a member of the Qin family, shouldn’t she be hated by Wei Ting like Qin Yanran?
No, she was Qin Canglan’s biological granddaughter. Wei Ting should hate her even more.
Qin Yanran couldn’t figure it out.
Everyone returned to the classroom to pack their books.
As expected, Su Xiaoxiao slowly packed her items and was last.
When she left the palace, there was only a carriage left at the door, parked where Su MO usually parked.
When the coachman saw her, he hurriedly bowed to her and turned to get a footstool.
“Eh? Did you change the carriage?”
Su Xiaoxiao walked over and realized that the coachman had also changed. It was an unfamiliar face.
She didn’t think too much about it and stepped onto the stool to get into the carriage.
As soon as she sat down, her wrist was grabbed and pressed against the wall of the carriage.
A certain someone questioned in a low voice, “Who allowed you to shout those messy names in class?”
Su Xiaoxiao thought this was too exciting. After all, this was the entrance of the palace.
Su Xiaoxiao blinked. “What name? Can’t you understand? Why don’t you help me recall?”
Wei Ting did not fall for it. He let go of her wrist coldly and sat up.
“Where’s Su MO? How did you send him away?”
Wei Ting only chuckled, clearly not wanting to discuss another man with her.
“Wei Ting, how did you become a riding and shooting teacher?”
“Guess.”
He did not want to say it anymore.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t force him. Anyway, the next time Blackie came, she would ask him.
However, she really had a few things to verify with Wei Ting.
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Wei Ting, why are you waiting for me here? Are you—” At this point, she lengthened her tone and looked at him meaningfully.
Wei Ting’s face turned cold. “Can you stop thinking about… those things?”
Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. “What things? I haven’t asked.”
Wei Ting was speechless.
“Alright, let’s get down to business.” Su Xiaoxiao stopped teasing him and voiced the doubts that had been buried in her heart for the past two days. “Whose sons are Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu?” She changed the topic a little too quickly.
Wei Ting was stunned.
“You don’t want to say?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
In the past, Su Xiaoxiao might not have spoken about it at all, but now, their relationship had improved.
She would want to know more. “What did Su MO tell you?”
Wei Ting’s words were spot-on.
When smart people talked, they never needed those roundabout probing.
He could guess that Su MO had told her. Su Xiaoxiao was not surprised.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “He said they’re children of the Wei family. Wei Liulang’s.”
Wei Ting was silent for a moment before saying, “That’s right. They’re my sixth brother’s children.”
“Who’s their mother?”
If she remembered correctly, Wei Liulang of the Wei family did not seem to be married.
Wei Ting paused and said, “Prince Nanyangis daughter.
Su Xiaoxiao asked in confusion, “Didn’t the Nanyang King’s bloodline die from the plague ten years ago?”
This was what was said to the outside world. In fact, it was because he had secretly rebelled and was discovered by Emperor Jing Xuan,
Wei Ting did not explain that they did not die of the plague. He believed that she would know the real cause of their deaths.
He only continued, “When my grandfather arrived, everyone’s coffin was buried. Because they died of the ‘plague’, they were seen as impure and could not be buried in the imperial mausoleum, so they casually found a graveyard. My grandfather heard a faint commotion in the graveyard. He dug out the coffin… It was King Nanyang’s youngest daughter.”
“My grandfather brought her back to the Wei family and raised her in the residence as a maidservant. He considered saying that she was a distant relative, but as soon as something happened to the Nanyang Prince’s Mansion, King Nanyang’s old subordinate had a relative about the same age as the young princess. Who couldn’t tell that something was wrong?”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded. In that situation, the identity of a maidservant was the least eye-catching.
Wei Ting continued, “The young princess was too agitated and suffered from aphasia. Grandpa handed her to Grandma, and Grandma personally raised her by her side. Other than Grandpa, Grandma, and my father, no one else knows her identity. Even my sixth brother doesn’t know. As for me, I only found out last year.”
“Grandmother is a very cautious person. In the seven years that the young princess has been at home, no one has seen through her.”
“But sometimes, fate plays tricks on us. We were already very careful, but we were still discovered.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “How did that happen?”
Wei Ting frowned. “Four years ago, she was not feeling well and secretly left the residence to get medicine behind my family’s back. When she walked into an alley, her veil was knocked off. The person who bumped into her happened to be a servant who had been chased out of the house by the Prince of Nanyang. That person recognized her..”
