Chapter 1071: Son-in-law and Family
Su Ergou said, “Thank you, Grandfather!”
Wei Ting was a person who stuck to his principles. He would not kick up a fuss.
He stole a glance at the red packet that Su Ergou had opened and immediately said, “Grandfather!”
Zongzheng Wei also gave one to Wei Ting.
Su Xiaoxiao glared at Wei Ting.
Ergou and her father didn’t know. Didn’t he?
What was he shouting for?
She brought Wei Ting’s red packet over and opened it. “Grandpa!”
Ergou was still a child.
His young heart did not have to withstand those in hurt. Instead of letting him know that he had a selfish and cold-blooded grandfather, it was better to let the Emperor of the Southern Wilderness play the role of a grandfather to Ergou!
Zongzheng Wei also gave Su Xiaoxiao a huge red packet.
Su Xiaoxiao held the red packet. It was heavy with her sister’s love for her brother.
Cheng Sang could not explain it, nor did she have the chance to.
Because Su Ergou couldn’t wait to run, he went to get his new weapon to show off.
Su Cheng was wet. Cheng Sang asked him to quickly change his clothes.
Su Cheng went.
Cheng Sang looked at Zongzheng Wei, Su Xiaoxiao, and Wei Ting solemnly.
The three of them stood there innocently, looking at either their feet or the sky.
They looked like they had done something wrong and were caught red-handed, but they were stubborn and refused to admit it. They looked like she wouldn’t be able to see them if they didn’t look at her.
Cheng Sang was speechless.
Su Cheng came out after changing and invited his father-in-law and mother-in-law into the central room.
Su Ergou panicked. “Dad! I haven’t shown Grandfather and Grandmother my weapon!”
Su Cheng said, “We’ll see tomorrow. Grandfather and Grandmother are tired.”
Su Ergou thought for a moment. “Oh, okay.” He carefully put the weapon back.
Su Xiaoxiao was more than six months pregnant.
Su Cheng’s heart ached and he was relieved. “Your mother suffered a lot when she was pregnant with you. She vomited for seven months. This won’t cause trouble, right?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “It’s quite good. I can eat and sleep.”
His daughter’s face was indeed a little rounder, so Su Cheng believed her.
Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu fell asleep in the carriage. They could not be woken up. Su Cheng carried them to his room.
The family talked about the Southern Wilderness again.
Su Cheng was puzzled. “You relied on the bracelet your mother left for you to go to the Cheng family to acknowledge your family, but the bracelet your mother left for you was bought by me.”
Su Xiaoxiao was embarrassed. “It’s… a long story.”
She did not know how to explain that the Head of the Secret Service knew her mother’s background and had even obtained her mother’s bracelet.
Wei Ting said without changing his expression, “We had the help of a noble in secret to help us find out about Mother’s background and even obtained the bracelet that Grandmother gave her back then. As for how Mother ended up in Qingzhou, that noble doesn’t know either, but I’ve already asked Fu Su and Yuchi Xiu to investigate. I believe there will be news soon.”
Su Xiaoxiao secretly gave him a thumbs up. As expected of the top scholar. Impressive.
Wei Ting also told him about Wei Xu’s safe return.
Su Cheng was very happy. “How’s your second brother’s health?” Wei Ting said, “Thanks to Xiaoxiao, Second Brother has recovered.”
Su Xiaoxiao curled her lips. He was so obedient in front of her father.
As long as they did not farm, her husband and father were as close as honey.
Thinking of something, Su Cheng said, “It’s so late. Are you hungry? I’ll make you something to eat!”
At this time, the chef had already rested. Wouldn’t she be tired if they woke her up and made her work?
Su Xiaoxiao, Wei Ting, and Su Ergou took a step back. “We’re not hungry!” Cheng Sang ate little at night and was not hungry.
However, Su Cheng looked like he insisted on being filial to his elders.
Zongzheng Wei decided to give Su Cheng face. “I’m hungry.”
Su Cheng asked, “Is egg and vegetable pancake okay?”
Zongzheng Hui said, “Sure.”
Su Xiaoxiao, Wei Ting, and Su Ergou looked at him sympathetically.
Fifteen minutes later, Zongzheng Wei was almost sent to the sky by his “son-in-law’s” filial piety.
After washing up, Cheng Sang sat in the room and looked at her daughter’s portrait.
It was drawn by Wei Ting according to Su Xiaoxiao’s description. There were a few paintings, and Cheng Sang could not get enough of them.
Knock, Imock, knock.
Someone knocked on the door.
“Grandmother, it’s me.”
Su Ergou said.
Cheng Sang put away the portrait and said to Su Ergou, “The door is not locked.
Come in quickly.”
Su Ergou carried a pillow and pushed the door open.
“Grandmother, can I sleep in your room tonight?”
“Of course.”
Cheng Sang said.
Su Ergou placed the pillow on the ground and lay down.
In the countryside, the ground in the house was filled with soil, while the ground in the Protectorate was paved with wooden planks. It was warm in winter and cold in summer, and the servants wiped it clean.
Cheng Sang wanted to lay a mat for him.
Su Ergou said, “No need, Grandmother. I usually sleep like this.”
Cheng Sang looked at his strong body and was relieved.
Su Ergou looked carefree, but he was actually very close to his own people.
He was not so polite on the surface, but what he did was always very considerate.
He said, “Grandmother, sleep too.”
Cheng Sang smiled and lay down on the bed. “Okay.”
Su Ergou lay upright and quietly moved his butt towards Cheng Sang. He moved and moved again.
Only when he moved to the bed did he close his eyes and fall asleep.
Cheng Sang lay on the bed and looked at the sleeping Su Ergou dotingly. She reached out and gently touched his childish and handsome eyebrows.
Weiwei, the children you give birth to are really too cute.
That night, some were happy, while others were not.
Emperor Jing Xuan lay on the dragon bed and tossed and turned.
Eunuch Fu said softly, “Your Majesty, is it hot? I’ll get someone to bring some ice over.”
“Has Hui An not returned to the palace yet?” Emperor Jing Xuan asked in a low voice.
Eunuch Fu said, “Not yet.”
The Wei family had to be high-profile and could not drag Princess Hui An along. Otherwise, they would be getting her into trouble.
Therefore, Wei Xu had temporarily separated from them long ago. The three Su brothers escorted Princess Hui An to the capital a day later.
Emperor Jing Xuan pinched his sore temples. “Is it almost morning?”
Eunuch Fu said, “There’re still two hours, Your Majesty.”
Emperor Jing Xuan pondered for a moment and frowned. “Summon the minister of Honglu Temple.”
Eunuch Fu was stunned. “…Yes!”
Just as he was about to give the order, he was stopped by Emperor Jing Xuan. “Forget it, there’s no need.”
Eunuch Fu turned back.
The curtain behind the dragon bed seemed to be blown by a breeze. Emperor Jing Xuan glanced at it from the corner of his eye and said to Eunuch Fu, “Go outside and guard. I want to be alone for a while.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Eunuch Fu glanced at the curtain calmly and respectfully left the bedroom.
A man in black wearing a bamboo hat flashed out from behind.
Emperor Jing Xuan said coldly, “Back then, you were the ones who persuaded me to agree to the marriage. You said that there were military forces in the Southern Wilderness, but now that the marriage has failed, I lost the help of the Southern Wilderness.”
The man in black said, “The internal strife in the Southern Wildnerness was actually due to a fake king who has been in power for 30 years. We were indeed negligent.”
Emperor Jing Xuan clearly did not buy his words. “Is this enough? Now that things have turned out like this, how are you going to help me deal with Qin Canglan? Wei Xu is back! Even his dead sons have returned to the Wei family unscathed!”
The man in black said slowly, “Your Majesty, don’t worry. You are the emperor and they are your subjects. If the emperor wants them to die, they have no choice but to die.”
Emperor Jing Xuan frowned and said, “I can’t casually kill a hero!”
The man in black smiled. “I can provide Your Majesty with very interesting information.”
Emperor Jing Xuan said, “Speak.”
The man in black said meaningfully, “Wei Qing is Zhuge Qing, the strategist of the Western Jin!”
