Damn!

When did he ask her for 5,000 taels?

She was really spreading rumors! He would need to deflect those rumors until his legs broke!

“You lying woman!”

Su Xiaoxiao pouted and squeezed out the non-existent tears. She said aggrievedly, “Cousin, Fifth Cousin is fierce to me… I’m so afraid…’

Su Li jumped!

What was she afraid of?

She didn’t even blink when a poisonous snake fell by her feet just now!

“Brother! She was pretending! When I frightened her with the snake just now…” Su MO was immersed in the joy of being called cousin.

Hearing this, his eyes turned cold. “You even used a snake to scare her?”

Su Li’s eyes widened in fear. “No… I…”

He could not defend himself.

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and smiled at him.

He pointed over. “Brother, look at her!” Su MO looked at Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao’s expression changed in a second.

Su Li’s lungs were about to explode!

Su MO moved his joints and cracked his fingers.

Su MO dragged Su Li to the cultivation room and let his brother, whom he had not seen for a long time, feel the care of his elder brother.

After a while, Su MO clapped his hands and walked out of the house.

Su Li leaned against the wall and slumped to the ground. He spat out a mouthful of dust.

Suddenly, Su MO turned back and knelt on one knee in front of him, unbuttoning his clothes.

Tears welled up in Su Li’s eyes. He knew that… Big Brother still cared about him… and would come to check on his injuries…

Su MO took out his banknotes.

For his sister.

Su Li was speechless.

In the evening, Su Qi, Su MO, and Su Ergou returned from the Directorate. Qin Canglan and Su Cheng also received the news and rushed over from the military camp after training.

The family ate happily.

A few juniors accompanied Matriarch Su to the pond for a walk to digest her food, while the Old Marquis and Qin Canglan went to the study.

The Old Marquis told him about destroying the White Lotus Society’s nest in the town. “They were just some ordinary citizens. There aren’t many rebels, so they were released. How’s the situation in the capital?”

Qin Canglan explained what had happened recently.

The Old Marquis frowned. “I didn’t expect His Eldest Highness to really collude with the White Lotus Society.”

During the competition between Su Cheng and Qin Jiang, there were rebels from the White Lotus Society in the ranks of the Imperial Guards. However, at that time, there was no conclusive evidence to prove that the Eldest Prince knew that they were from the White Lotus Society.

He could not rule out the possibility that the Eldest Prince wanted to find a few trusted aides and accidentally let the people from the White Lotus Society in. However, last night, Daya heard the conversation between the Eldest Prince and Guardian He…

The Old Marquis sighed. “His Majesty has high hopes for this eldest son.”

Qin Canglan said, “After all, he’s the first son. Don’t you have high hopes for

Mo’er?”

The Old Marquis nodded. His Majesty did not have a legitimate son. The eldest son was the most respected. Xiao Duye had an extraordinary status in his heart.

Thinking of this, the Old Marquis said, “It’s probably very difficult to convict the Eldest Prince with Daya’s one-sided words.”

Qin Canglan said, “The Third Prince has gone to collect evidence. I don’t think there’s a hurry to expose the Eldest Prince. If we keep him and cast a long line to catch a big fish, we might be able to capture more important figures of the White Lotus Society. Of course, this depends on whether the Third Prince can keep his composure.”

The Old Marquis looked at the sky and sighed. “In two months, His Second

Highness should be returning to the capital, right?”

Would Xiao Zhonghua defeat the First Prince first, or should he wait for the Second Prince to return and leave the First Prince to wear down the Second Prince?

The latter was uncertain because it was hard to guarantee that his two brothers would not join forces to get rid of him first.

Siblingship did not exist in the royal family. The battle for the imperial power was always so bloody and cruel.

Thinking of something, the Old Marquis’s expression darkened. “However, what’s going on with Daya and Wei Ting’s marriage? Do you really like that kid?”

Qin Canglan coughed lightly. “How is that possible? My granddaughter is so outstanding. How is that kid worthy?”

The Old Marquis said with a dark expression, “Then why did you agree?”

Qin Canglan said seriously, “Isn’t this to catch the Wei family’s mole? Ever since he poisoned you, that guy has been hiding… In order to provoke him as soon as possible, this is a temporary solution!”

The Old Marquis said, “Heh, I don’t believe you.”

The family stayed in the Duke’s Mansion until late at night.

Just as Su Xiaoxiao was about to rest, Ah Zhong came. “Boss, a patient’s family came to the medical center to invite us for a house call, but Physician Fu hasn’t returned yet.”

“Okay, I’ll be right there.”

Su Xiaoxiao followed him with the first aid kit.

This was a patient with a cold. The patient was a little old and would become dangerously ill with a small sickness. Moreover, having a cold was not a small illness in ancient times.

Su Xiaoxiao gave the patient fever medicine and prescribed three sets of Chinese medicine, asking the family to follow them back to the medical center to get the medicine.

On the way back, Su Xiaoxiao stopped Ah Zhong. “Ah Zhong, stop for a moment.”

Ah Zhong stopped the carriage by the side of the road.

Su Xiaoxiao looked up at the open window upstairs and said to Ah Zhong, “Send the patient back to the medical center to get medicine first.”

“Okay, boss.”

Ah Zhong drove the carriage away.

Su Xiaoxiao entered the tavern and went to the room on the second floor. She closed the window with a bang.

“Who?”

A certain someone by the window looked at Su Xiaoxiao drunkenly. “Ah, it’s you, Miss Su.”

Su Xiaoxiao dimmed the wick. ‘Why are you out of the palace again? Are you still sitting by the window drinking because you’re afraid that others won’t notice?”

Bai Xihe said drunkenly, “Open the window.”

“Not opening it.”

“Let me take a look again. I won’t be able to see it in the future.”

Su Xiaoxiao paused and asked, “Has your nephew left?”

Bai Xihe smiled bitterly. “Yes, he left. He left tonight. I left the palace to send him off for the last time. He was alone… Do you know why? His mother left him after all… He actually… didn’t want to leave the capital… But I don’t know… how long I can live… If I die… no one in the capital will protect him…’

This woman was not telling the truth. Su Xiaoxiao didn’t want to believe her for a while.

It was obvious that after drinking for so long, she felt that there were more or less a few heartfelt words in the lie.

Su Xiaoxiao pushed the window open slightly. “It can only be opened this big.”

Bai Xihe didn’t look.

She poured herself another glass of wine, spilling most of it.

“Miss Su, do you want to have a drink with me?”

“I don’t like to drink.”

She refused to admit that she could not hold her liquor well.

Bai Xihe supported her head with one hand and couldn’t hold the glass steadily.

“You’ve drunk too much, ” Su Xiaoxiao said.

Bai Xihe put down his wine glass in silence.
