Su Xiaoxiao returned to her courtyard.

There were two rooms in her courtyard, one for Du Juan and Ying’er, and one for her.

There were many patients tonight. Du Juan and Ying’er were already on night duty, so they gave up their room.

Ying’er went to change a new set of blanket and pillow.

She realized that her boss was slightly obsessed with cleanliness. Although it was not directed at her and Du Juan, it was her duty to take good care of her boss.

Su Xiaoxiao went to see Su Ergou first.

Qin Canglan stayed by the bed. As the Old Marquis had yet to recover, Su Xiaoxiao forcibly persuaded him to return to the residence.

“That kid left.” Qin Canglan said.

He was referring to Wei Ting.

Su Xiaoxiao replied, “Oh.”

“I didn’t drive him away.” Qin Canglan had proven his innocence. No matter what, he was injured because of Ergou. He would not drive him away.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded and walked to the bed.

“How is your father?” Qin Canglan asked. “Same as last time,” Su Xiaoxiao said.

Qin Canglan felt guilty.

If he had not been careless back then, Huayin would not have been killed and Cheng’er would not have been stranded among the people.

Su Xiaoxiao touched Su Ergou’s forehead. “Ying’er and the rest will come to patrol the night. You don’t have to guard here.”

“I want to guard for a while.” Qin Canglan said. After a pause, he muttered, “The three little guys don’t sleep well.”

He was afraid that they would kick Ergou.

When Qin Canglan said this, he lowered his head and grabbed his thick fingers like a resentful big stupid bear.

Su Xiaoxiao laughed.

It was very, very light.

Qin Canglan was stunned and turned to look at her.

Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “I’ll carry Dahu and the others over. You sleep with Ergou.”

Qin Canglan cleared his throat and whispered, “… My sleeping posture is even worse.”

Su Xiaoxiao carried the three sleeping little ones next door and asked Little Weizi and Ah Zhong to set up a small bamboo bed for Qin Canglan.

It was an extended bamboo bed.

Qin Canglan lay down and the bamboo bed was gone, and half of his leg was hanging in the air.

Su Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded.

Qin Canglan did not go to bed obediently.

After Su Xiaoxiao fell asleep, he quietly walked out of the courtyard and went to the second floor of the lobby like a thief. He sat in front of Su Cheng’s bed until dawn.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t rest until dawn, so she woke up late the next day.

Students were not allowed to enter the Palace Academy late and leave early in the palace, so Qin Canglan entered the palace.

There were no court sessions on this day, and it was rare for Emperor Jing Xuan to sleep early.

He wanted to sleep.

However, Eunuch Fu woke him up.

Eunuch Fu reported sheepishly, “Your Majesty, the old Protector Duke requests an audience.”

Emperor Jing Xuan ignored him.

After a while, Eunuch Fu returned and said, “Your Majesty, the Marquis of

Zhenbei requests an audience.”

The two elders had long stopped attending court. Occasionally, they would see him after he left the court. They would never disturb his sleep early in the morning.

However, they asked to see him at the same time. Jing Xuan Emperor wondered if something big had happened.

He forced himself to be sleepy and dragged his exhausted body to the imperial study to meet the two of them.

“My dear ministers, what happened?” Emperor Jing Xuan’s expression was very serious.

The Old Marquis cupped his hands. “Your Majesty, there was an accident in the western suburbs of the capital last night. I believe you’ve heard about it.” Emperor Jing Xuan wanted to say that he had not…

The Old Marquis: “It doesn’t matter if you haven’t heard about it.” Emperor Jing Xuan thought that the Old Marquis’ next sentence was—I’ll tell you.

The Old Marquis said, “I’m not here for this.”

Emperor Jing Xuan was dumbfounded.

The Old Marquis said solemnly, “My grandniece was also at the scene. She’s been busy all night. I’m here to apply for leave for her.” The corners of Emperor Jing Xuan’s mouth twitched.

“What about Minister Qin?” He looked at Qin Canglan.

Qin Canglan said seriously, “I’m also here to apply for leave for my granddaughter.”

Emperor Jing Xuan was speechless.

Did two veterans of the battlefield wake him up early in the morning just to let their little girl sleep in?!

Where was their regard for him?!

Do the two of them have any awareness of being officials?!

Also, do they know how scary it was for the two of them to enter the palace together?

He thought the country was going to war at the border!

Emperor Jing Xuan was furious and cursed in his heart!

Emperor Jing Xuan mercilessly threw the two of them out.

The two old things were so angry early in the morning that it was impossible for them to go back to sleep.

“Isn’t the eldest back?” Emperor Jing Xuan asked.

Eunuch Fu hurriedly said, “Yes, His First Highness entered the palace last night to pay his respects to you. You should rest. His First Highness asked me not to disturb your rest. He will come to visit you again today.” Emperor Jing Xuan said, “Let him enter the palace.”

Eunuch Fu replied, “Yes.”

Emperor Jing Xuan paused and said, “Ask Third Brother to come too.”

Eunuch Fu bowed. “Aye, Your Majesty.”

The scene of the crime in the cellar was too shocking. Some were complete skeletons, while others had been destroyed for various reasons and needed a coroner to reconstruct the bones.

The coroner performed an autopsy on the spot and reconstructed the bones. He was busy until the next morning. Seeing that the number of onlookers was gradually increasing, the officials got someone to transport the bones back to the government office first.

In the end, the news still spread.

“Have you heard? That half-built attic is really haunted!”

“You believe that?”

“My uncle saw it with his own eyes! The bones dug out by the officials of the yamen were all over the ground. There were countless of them! There were dead people everywhere. How could it not be haunted?”

In the teahouse, everyone was discussing fervently. Some believed it, and some didn’t. The scene was extremely intense.

Compared to this shocking case, the assassination last night did not cause such a huge commotion. After all, the assassination happened at night and not many people saw it.

“Why did the officials suddenly go there?” In the teahouse, a merchant asked.

A young man said, “It’s said that two students from the Imperial College fought and destroyed the attic. They were pressed under the ruins and the officials rushed to save them. In the end, they dug out those bones. Many officials were injured. The Benevolence Hall is filled with injured people!”

“How did they get hurt?”

“I’m not sure…”

“Is it haunted…”

Some things became ridiculous as they spread.

Su Xiaoxiao knew nothing about this. She slept until noon.

In her daze, she felt something furry rubbing against her cheek.

She raised her hand and touched it.

One, two, three little heads.

“Mother!”

Dahu rubbed his head against her palm and called out.

Xiaohu also went to rub against it.

Xiaohu couldn’t nudge her, so he decisively grabbed her other hand and placed it on his little head.

Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but smile. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the three cute little fellows. She greeted them in a lazy and hoarse voice.

“Dahu, Erhu, Xiaohu.”

The three of them lay beside her pillow and looked at her adorably.

The curtains in the room were drawn, and the light was very dim. However, from the bright gaps, one could tell that it was getting late. Su Xiaoxiao said softly, “Didn’t you go to school today?”

“School’s over!” Da Hu said.

“Only half a day of school today,” said Er Hu.

“Yeah!” Xiao Hu said.

Although the three little fellows did not see their mother before they went to bed, when they woke up, they found themselves lying on the same bed as their mother.

Their mood was instantly cured. They were extremely excited the entire day, but they were very obedient and did not wake their mother up.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at their sparkling eyes and could feel the joy in their hearts. Su Cheng protected their emotions and young hearts very well.

Who said that her father was a brute?

He was so thoughtful and considerate.

Su Xiaoxiao touched their little heads one by one and smiled unconsciously.

Xiaohu sat cross-legged and pointed at his little head. He said seriously and worriedly, “Uncle Ergou, there is blood!”

Su Ergou’s head was wrapped in gauze after the stitches. Perhaps he had touched the wound during the night, causing blood to seep out.

Xiaohu frowned and said bitterly, “Uncle Ergou hurts!”

Xiaohu was the youngest, and his language abillity was the latest to awaken. Often, his two brothers would finish speaking before it was his turn. Then, he could only agree.

This time, he finally said everything before his two brothers.

Su Xiaoxiao got up, washed up, and went next door to see Su Ergou.

Physician Fu had already finished the IV drip for Su Ergou and changed the dressing on his wound.

The injury on the back of his head was the most serious. There were no signs of infection for the time being, and the other abrasions and scratches were not serious.

It was just that his back and chest had been pressed down for too long, and a large area of soft tissue contusions had appeared. It was not obvious yesterday, but today, it was a shocking sight.

Su Xiaoxiao had the urge to chop up Qin Yun.

“Sister.” Su Ergou woke up.

“What do you want to eat? I’ll make it for you,” Su Xiaoxiao said.

Su Ergou wanted to shake his head, but just as he shook his head, the back of his head twitched in pain.

“Don’t move!” Su Xiaoxiao held him down.

“Oh.” Su Ergou obediently lay on his side and did not move. “Sister, I don’t want to eat. Don’t cook anymore.”

Su Xiaoxiao touched his forehead. It wasn’t hot.

She relaxed a little.

She glanced at Su Ergou and said, “Alright, I won’t cook. I’ll let Master Cao cook. What do you want to eat?”

Su Ergou replied “Sour soup dumplings.”

It was a good thing to have an appetite. Su Xiaoxiao went to the back room and asked Chef Cao to make a bowl of vegetable dumplings for Su Ergou. She didn’t ask to add the sour soup. It was better to have something light to recuperate from.

The three little ones also hoped that their uncle would get better soon.

Dahu contributed his personal stash of sweets, and Erhu gave away his little lucky stone.

Xiaohu… Xiaohu had nothing.

He was so poor.

No, he had brothers! Two brothers!

He was really the smartest little tiger in the world!

He lay on the bed and said, “Uncle, I’ll give Dahu and Erhu to you.” Su Ergou was speechless.

A moment later, Xiaohu to received his brothers’ care package.

Xiao Hu covered his little butt and limped out of the house, feeling extremely aggrieved.

Why was he beaten up just like that?

Boohoo..
