Chapter 209 - 209 Going to the Capital
209 Going to the Capital
The news that Daya’s family was going to the capital quickly spread to the Su family.
Old Su’s days have been tragic. On the one hand, he had to suffer the disdain and anger of the villagers, and on the other hand, he had to face the risk of returning the land under his name.
They thought that the Su family must be overjoyed. Although they did not come to their house to mock them, they must have held their heads high behind their backs.
Until today.
!!
When they heard that the Su family was about to go to the capital, they suddenly realized something.
It was not that Daya’s family wanted to establish a persona, but that they had never taken Old Su’s family seriously.
Old Su’s family thought that they were compet.i.tors and enemies, but who knew that Daya’s family did not even treat them as farts?
They were like clowns, constantly guessing the att.i.tude and thoughts of Daya’s family…
And Daya’s family was no longer the fish and frog in this pond.
Or rather, it was just a stranded mythological giant bird from the beginning.
Old Master Su’s blood surged and he collapsed!
Su Dalang and Su Erlang’s expressions changed. “Grandpa!”

Su Xiaoxiao found Manager Sun and told him about her entering the capital. “I’ll leave the shop to you and Yuniang.”
Manager Sun said, “There won’t be any trouble in the shop. Rest a.s.sured in the capital.”
Su Xiaoxiao thought about it carefully. There was indeed nothing that could not be resolved in business.
The shop was decided, and Liu Ping and Little Wu moved over. The blueprint for the renovation was confirmed, and Little Madam Zhao and Li Xiaoyong were getting skilled …
She did not deliberately plan anything, but it seemed that she had already made sufficient preparations in the lead-up to this day.
Su Xiaoxiao came out of the shop and saw Physician Fu squatting on the ground with his bag and drawing circles.
Physician Fu turned around and saw her. He stood up and coughed lightly. “My mother… asked me to go to the capital to treat the Old Marquis.”
Su Xiaoxiao said casually, “That’s really much easier…”
Physician Fu was speechless.
East Arrival Inn was the largest inn in Apricot Flower Town. It was said that it was opened by the Qi family. The business was booming and it was difficult to obtain a single room.
However, to the n.o.ble young masters of the capital, it was no different from sleeping in their own woodshed.
Su Yu felt so disgusted that he had nowhere to stand. “It’s so tattered. The blanket is moldy! Brother, if I don’t go back soon, I’m going to mold!”
Su Mo calmly took a sip of tea. “You wanted to follow me, but now you’re complaining?”
Su Yu looked aggrieved. “Wuwu, I regret it…”
The coachman reported from outside, “Eldest Young Master, Physician Fu requests an audience!”
Physician Fu came over with Su Xiaoxiao.
The three brothers were surprised to see her.
They were surprised that she had come up too. However, they remembered that she seemed to be Physician Fu’s disciple.
Physician Fu went straight to the point. “I agree to go to the capital for a house call, but let me make it clear first. The Old Marquis has been suffering from a chronic illness for many years. I can only try my best. I can’t guarantee that I can treat him.”
“Yes,” Su Mo said. “Miss Su is going too?”
Physician Fu said seriously, “She’s my disciple, so, of course, she has to go. She hasn’t seen such a difficult illness before. I can take the opportunity to teach her.”
“Okay.” Regardless of whether the little girl was really convinced by Physician Fu, Su Mo only wanted this result. The process was not important.
“When can we set off?” Su Mo asked.
It was not appropriate to delay his grandfather’s condition. The earlier they could get there, the better.
“We can set off immediately,” Su Xiaoxiao answered. “We’re not going with you.”
Su Yu was surprised. “What?”
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “The consultation fee is 2,000 taels. You have to pay a 30% deposit first.”
Su Yu stuttered in shock. “2,000 taels! You’re even more expensive than the Imperial Physician! I think you’re addicted to extorting money!”
“Then find someone else.” Su Xiaoxiao turned around and left.
Physician Fu did not hesitate and followed.
Su Yu’s eyes widened. “Which one of them is the master?”
Su Mo frowned. “Alright, I promise you.”
Su Xiaoxiao continued, “You will prepare the pa.s.s.”
Su Mo took off a token from his waist and threw it to her. “Take this. There’s no need for a pa.s.s.”
Su Xiaoxiao took it backhandedly, stunning Su Mo.
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “See you in the capital.”

Wei Ting went to the dock first. The man in white had already prepared a black boat.
Yuchi Xiu returned after checking the news. “Sir, Xiao Zhonghua is returning to the capital from Qingzhou Pa.s.s. There’s also a waterway there that’s especially used for salt transport by the Imperial Court. It’s much faster than ordinary waterways. We have to hurry. We can’t let him return to the capital first.”
The man in white asked, “Why didn’t he come to a.s.sa.s.sinate Young Master?”
Yuchi Xiu said angrily, “If you ask me, who should I ask?”
...
The man in white said, “I didn’t ask you.”
Yuchi Xiu was speechless.
This was also what Wei Ting was puzzled about. It was not like Xiao Zhonghua to give up on a.s.sa.s.sinating him. It was not that Xiao Zhonghua wanted to kill him, but the Commander’s Seal was still in his hand.
Yet Xiao Zhonghua actually left just like that?
What happened to make Xiao Zhonghua change his plan?
Yuchi Xiu looked left and right. “Sir, where are the three young masters?”
Wei Ting said, “They’ll be here soon.”
When they found out that Su Xiaoxiao was also going to the capital, the three brats were furious.
Xiaohu stuffed the bag into Wei Ting’s arms and waved at him. “You can leave!”
“Who is sending them over…” Yuchi Xiu realized something and suddenly gasped. “No way? No way? Are you intending to bring that girl to the capital? Do you really treat her as your wife? The two of you aren’t a real couple! Take this opportunity to shake her off! Don’t tell me you can’t leave her!”
Wei Ting said coldly, “It’s the children who can’t leave her.”
...
Yuchi Xiu gave him a sideways glance. “Is that so…”
At this moment, Liu Ping drove the donkey cart over.
The donkey was especially irritable today. The moment it arrived, it kicked Yuchi Xiu’s bag into the water.
Yuchi Xiu muttered, “What an annoying donkey!”
Wei Ting looked at the empty cart and then at Liu Ping. “Where… where are they?”
Liu Ping said, “Daya asked me to tell you that they will leave first. You can head back yourself.”
Wei Ting was speechless.
Yuchi Xiu was speechless.
The man in white was speechless.
After Liu Ping left, Yuchi Xiu slapped his thigh and laughed wildly. “Lord! That girl dumped you! She doesn’t want you anymore! She even kidnapped your sons! She went to the capital herself! Hahahahaha…”
Bang!
Yuchi Xiu fell into the water…
Wei Ting gritted his teeth.
Su Daya!
…
Su Xiaoxiao, who was being “thought about” by Wei Ting, was already in the carriage heading to the capital.
Su Mo had prepared three carriages. They were s.p.a.cious and comfortable.
Father Su, Su Ergou, and Physician Fu were in one, Su Xiaoxiao and the three little ones in another, and the month-old foal was in the last carriage.
She knew that she was not in his original plan to return to the capital.
“Mother! What is that?”
Xiaohu pointed out the window.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “A man, sometimes known as a pig trotter.”
Xiaohu tilted his head. “But it doesn’t look delicious.”
