Consort Xian pointed at Old Master Su’s nose and said, “You’re lying!”


Old Master Su looked wronged. “I’m not lying!”


Wei Ting looked at Old Master Su meaningfully.


Old Master Su knelt on the ground and looked at Emperor Jing Xuan, who was sitting on the dragon chair. “Your Majesty! I’m not lying! I really don’t know him!”


Emperor Jing Xuan fell into deep thought.


Suddenly, he thought of something and asked suspiciously, “Wait, I heard that Su Daya has three sons. If she only got married at the end of last year, where did her sons come from?”


Wei Ting looked at Old Master Su again.


Old Master Su said, “Are you talking about Dahu and the others? They’re not the biological children of the family. Su Cheng carried them back from outside and raised them under the names of Eldest Miss Su and Mr. Wei. If you don’t believe me, you can send someone to the village to ask. The villagers know!” Emperor Jing Xuan continued, “Isn’t Mr. Wei actually Wei Ting?”


Old Master Su said, “I only Imow his surname is Wei. I don’t know if his name is Wei Ting.”


Emperor Jing Xuan frowned.


Old Master Su explained, “We country b.u.mpkins don’t have much knowledge. It’s all nonsense. A live-in son-in-law who didn’t grow up in the village. It’s already good enough to have a t.i.tle. No one asked for his name. Even if they did, they wouldn’t know how to write it.”


Eunuch Fu came from the countryside. When he was young, his family was poor, so he was sold to the palace to be a eunuch.


He whispered to Emperor Jing Xuan, “It’s the same in my village.”


Emperor Jing Xuan pondered for a moment. “Where is this person?”


Eunuch Fu said, “I don’t think he came to the capital.”


“The entire family is here. Isn’t he coming?” Emperor Jing Xuan looked at Old Master Su again.


Old Master Su hurriedly kowtowed. “I was captured and brought to the Marquis of Zhenbei… I don’t know what happened after the Su family…”


The two ordinary commoners had not made any big mistakes. He could not torture them immediately or what would the world think of him, the emperor? Emperor Jing Xuan pinched the s.p.a.ce between his eyebrows and asked Eunuch


Quan to bring them away.


At this point, Consort Xian knew that there was no chance.


What exactly was going on?


Was Qin Jiang playing with her?


She bit her lip. “Your Majesty…”


Emperor Jing Xuani said calmly, “Where did you hear the news? Are you talking about Wei Ting or Mr. Wei?”


What Consort Xian heard was naturally Wei Ting, but that old man just now swore that he did not know Wei Ting…


Seeing that Concubine Xian was silent, Emperor Jing Xuan sighed. “Alright, it’s just that his surname happens to be Wei. Don’t listen to rumors in the future.”


“Yes, I was rash.” Consort Xian bowed unwillingly.


Emperor Jing Xuan said, “All of you can leave.”


Concubine Xian said softly, “Your Majesty, I’ve made chicken soup in my palace…”


Concubine Xian gritted her teeth secretly. After entering the palace for so many years, she had been careful all the time and took every step to firmly grasp Emperor Jing Xuan’s heart.


Now, she had angered Emperor Jing Xuan!


“I’ll take my leave.” Consort Xian bowed and left the imperial study weakly. After there was no one else around, she grabbed Liu Sande’s arm tightly and stomped her feet in anger.


Liu Sande gasped. He muttered in his heart, “G.o.ddess, ancestor, it hurt!”


In the imperial study, Emperor Jing Xuan looked at Wei Ting indifferently. “You too…”


Before Emperor Jing Xuan could finish, Wei Ting cupped his hands and bowed. “I’ll take my leave.”


Emperor Jing Xuan choked and glared coldly at Wei Ting. He waved his hand for Wei Ting to leave.


After leaving the palace, Wei Ting got into the carriage.


The secret guard said, “Young Master, I saw the grandfather and grandson of the Su family enter the palace just now. Have they found your whereabouts?”


Wei Ting snorted. “Consort Xian.”


The secret guard was puzzled. “Consort Xian? Did Third Prince do it?”


Wei Ting said thoughtfully, “Xiao Zhonghua isn’t that stupid. If he wanted to expose me, he would have done so long ago. There’s no need to wait until now. Moreover, he only dares to expose that I was not in the temple and instigate a search. He doesn’t dare to say that he saw me in Qingzhou.”


“If Xiao Zhonghua dared to expose that he had been to Qingzhou, he would expose that he was secretly looking for a Commander’s Seal. At most, we would fight to the death.”


The secret guard was stunned. “His Highness… didn’t tell His Majesty about the


Commander’s Seal?”


Wei Ting said calmly, “He wants to pocket that army himself. Of course, he won’t let his biological father know.”


The secret guard sighed. “Back in Qingzhou, you were accidentally b.u.mped into by the Third Prince’s men… If it weren’t for the fact that you were protecting the three young masters, Young Master… you wouldn’t have released the news of the Commander’s Seal.’


It was a coincidence to meet Xiao Zhonghua in Qingzhou. Not only did Wei Ting not expect it, but Xiao Zhonghua was also very surprised.


It was true that Wei Ting had gone to Qingzhou to get the Commander’s Seal and pick up the children.


In order to protect the three children, Wei Ting chose to reveal the Commander’s Seal.


Xiao Zhonghua really thought that his only purpose in coming to Qingzhou was to take back the Commander’s Seal left behind by his grandfather.


Xiao Zhonghua did not care much about the three children.


The reason why Xiao Zhonghua did not care was firstly that he had the military power to divert attention. Secondly, Xiao Zhonghua knew nothing about some things back then and could not suspect anything.


“Are the three young masters alright?” the secret guard asked.


“They’re okay,” Wei Ting said.


Since they had been “picked up” by the Su family, it had nothing to do with him. Even if Emperor Jing Xuan saw the three little fellows in the future, he would not easily suspect them.


While the secret guard heaved a sigh of relief, he was also very puzzled. “Why didn’t Old Master Su identify Young Master?” Wei Ting flicked his wide sleeves. “Why else?”


The secret guard asked, “Why?”


He didn’t know!


Pear Blossom Lane.


A troupe came in the day and sang for half a day.


The three little ones did not sleep at all. When they heard that they would only return in the evening, they were excited from listening to the show and were running around the courtyard.


Su Xiaoxiao had returned from the Marquis Mansion and was drying herbs in front.


Although the three of them were naughty, they never destroyed Su Xiaoxiao’s things. Her herbs were very safe.


Father Su and Su Ergou did not receive such treatment.


Swoosh!


Dahu went over.


A dustpan of corn fell.


Phew!


Erhu went over!


A whole string of chili dropped.


Tsk!


Xiaohu jumped up.


Su Cheng exploded. “My pickled vegetables!”


Fortunately, he s.n.a.t.c.hed it quickly.


Xiaohu, who had jumped into the pickle jar was swiftly grabbed by Su Cheng.


After drying the herbs, Su Xiaoxiao came over with formula milk.


The three little ones immediately stopped being naughty and took the small milk bottle with both hands. They sat on the small stool and gurgled milk. They were especially obedient.


When Wei Ting arrived home, the three little ones had already finished their milk and were caught by Su Cheng to take a shower.


Su Ergou was feeding the horses in the backyard.


Wei Ting walked over and looked at Su Xiaoxiao, who was drying herbs. He asked, “Your idea? Or Su Mo’s?”


He was referring to Old Master Su making a fake testimony in the imperial study.


Su Xiaoxiao said innocently, “What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”


It would be strange if Wei Ting believed her. It was definitely her idea if she looked like this.


Wei Ting said, “You deliberately let the Su family go first and let them fall into Qin Che’s hands… No, it was Qin Jiang. You made Qin Jiang think that he had seized a chance to turn things around. Su Dalang shouldn’t know that the person who made a deal with Su MO was Old Master Su.”


Wei Ting was not stupid. Since Xiao Zhonghua was excluded, only Qin Jiang was left.


Qin Jiang’s goal was not to kill him but to achieve his goal of seeding fears in Emperor Jing Xuan by exposing him, the Qin family, and the Su family.


What was the thing that Emperor Jing Xuan was most afraid of?


The Wei family’s rebellion.


Emperor Jing Xuan would never let the military power of the Qin and Su families fall into Wei Ting’s hands.


Thus, there were only two choices left.


The first option was for Emperor Jing Xuan to break up this young couple and let Xiao Zhonghua marry the real daughter of the Qin family.


The second option was that Xiao Zhonghua and Qin Yanran’s marriage would not change. The military power would be handed over to Qin Jiang.


After considering all the factors, Emperor Jing Xuan would choose the latter.


However, Qin Jiang did not expect her and the Marquis of Zhenbei to beat him at his own game and clear all the suspicion.


Wei Ting looked at her meaningfully. ‘With Madam’s brains, it’s a pity not to be


a strategist. Aren’t you afraid that His Majesty will really send someone to the village to investigate?”


Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly. “Investigate. With Yu Niang and Village Head around, I’ll lose… Hubby.”


Since he called her Madam, she naturally had to call him Hubby in return.


Courtesy demanded reciprocity.


Wei Ting said, “How bold.”


Su Xiaoxiao said, “Same to you.”


No matter how bold a person was or how productive the land was, it would be over!


This guy was not easy to deal with.


Su Xiaoxiao tilted her head and looked at him. “So were you really a monk?”


She had already heard from Su MO about his heroic act of becoming a monk.


Wei Ting didn’t blush. “No.”


He changed the topic. “Why did you think of asking Old Master Su to say that


Dahu and the others were picked up by your father?”


He seemed to have never mentioned the backgrounds of the three little ones to her. Had she guessed something?


Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “After crossing that path in front of the emperor, the sons will be mine from now on!”


The corners of Wei Ting’s mouth twitched. After all this… was this girl just trying to s.n.a.t.c.h his sons?


Wei Ting approached her step by step.


Su Xiaoxiao was sunbathing when she suddenly felt a powerful aura surrounding her.


She looked up in a daze. Wei Ting was already inches away.


He placed a hand on the wooden stake beside her shoulder and leaned slightly toward her.


Was this guy pressing her against the wall?


As Wei Ting stared at her dangerously, his voice was cold and hoa.r.s.e.


“Then how do you plan to explain the missing Mr. Wei. to His Majesty?


Su Xiaoxiao blinked. “Uh… this…


In the house, Xiaohu sat in the bathtub and sang a little opera.


“The young widow went to visit the grave Ah My lover left early Ah Poor me I’m dragging along three children


Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.


Wei Ting was dumbfounded..
