Chapter 263: Tormenting the Sc.u.mbag (2)
Zhong Shan wanted to say something but hesitated.
In the end, he agreed.
He gestured in sign language. “Thank you.”
Su Ergou brought snacks and got into Zhong Shan’s carriage.
Not long after, Su Mo arrived.
Su Xiaoxiao left with him.
“I saw Ergou just now,” Su Mo said to Su Xiaoxiao in the carriage.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Oh, he went to deliver.”
Su Mo asked strangely, “What gift?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Snacks.”
Su Mo opened his mouth. “You… are still in the snack business?”
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “Yes, why not?”
Su Mo asked, “Is there not enough money to spend?”
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “It has nothing to do with money. Humans can’t stay idle.”
Su MO sized her up. “You… shouldn’t be free, right? If you’re referring to Ergou..
have you considered… sending him to school? The Su family has a family school. If Ergou doesn’t want to enter the Su family’s family school, it’s fine. I can hire a teacher for him or send him to the academy.” Su Xiaoxiao felt like she had been hit in the head.
She had forgotten that her brother could go to school!
In the countryside, she did not consider letting Ergou go to school. It was because Ergou was old and his foundation was poor. There was no suitable academy to go to.
Wei Ting was already qualified to teach him.
Ergou had learned from Wei Ting for so long and could recognize a few words. It was indeed time to send him to study.
Su MO said, “If you don’t object, leave this to me.”
Su MO could already tell that although Su Cheng was the father, the real decision-maker in the family was this little fat girl.
Su Xiaoxiao agreed. “Okay.”
After settling a big matter, Su Xiaoxiao was in a good mood.
The two of them were here to visit Qin Canglan openly.
The two families were in-laws. Su MO had come to the residence countless times, and the guards at the door never stopped his carriage.
The carriage drove straight in and stopped near the gate.
The two of them alighted from the carriage and walked towards Qin Canglan’s courtyard.
The servants in the residence knew Su MO and wondered why he had a little fat girl beside him. Although the servants were curious, they did not dare to ask.
On the other side, Qin Che did not sleep the entire night.
At dawn, he went to Qin Canglan’s courtyard with a haggard expression.
Qin Canglan had already woken up and was being served by a servant to put on the court clothes.
Elders who had served two dynasties like him were old. When they did not go to war, they only held idle positions in the Imperial Court and did not need to go to court usually.
Qin Che entered the house and his expression changed slightly when he saw the court clothes.
He cupped his hands and bowed. “Father.”
The servant fastened Qin Canglan’s belt and handed the black veil hat to him.
Qin Canglan held his black veil hat and waved at the servant.
The servant understood and left respectfully.
“Why are you here?” Qin Canglan asked indifferently. Qin Che said apologetically, “I’m here to apologize.”
Qin Canglan snorted coldly.
Qin Che lifted his hem and knelt down in front of Qin Canglan. “Father, I was indeed forced back then. It doesn’t matter if you think I’m twisting words or talking nonsense, but what I’m about to say next is definitely not a lie!”
“The deceased is the biggest. I shouldn’t criticize Grandmother, but it was indeed Grandmother who sent my mother to the manor back then. My mother thought that after giving birth to me, Grandmother would bring her back on my account. Who would have thought that Grandmother wouldn’t even want me, her biological grandson?”
“The servants are used to worshiping the high and trampling on the low. Father can’t imagine what kind of life we have. After escaping from the village, my mother brought me around, and was hungry and cold. My brother was already six years old when he disappeared. I wasn’t even three years old… I wasn’t raised well in my mother’s womb. After I was born, I was weak and sickly. I can’t remember how many times I almost died of illness…”
Qin Canglan’s eyes were cold, and he was not moved by his words.
Qin Che said bitterly, “I’m not saying this to ask for Father’s forgiveness…”
Qin Canglan said coldly, “Then why are you doing this? No matter how you and your mother have suffered, it has nothing to do with Hua Yin and Cheng’er. Were you willing to kill Hua Yin and Cheng’er just to return to the Qin family?!”
“Father!” Qin Che’s eyes were filled with shock. “You think we were the ones who caused the accident between my legitimate mother and brother back then?”
“Isn’t that so?” Qin Canglan asked.
Qin Che’s eyes were filled with hurt. “Father, I’m only a year older than my brother. He was six years old when he was in trouble, and I was seven. At that time, we had only escaped from the village for less than two years.. We couldn’t even take care of ourselves, so how could we have the ability to reach out to Qingzhou, which was thousands of miles away?”
