Chapter 277: Team Favorite (2)
He wished he could chop off his claws.
Didn’t he know how heavy his hands were?
Could Ergou take it?
Just as he was feeling vexed, he saw Su Ergou jump up!
“I have a horse! I have a horse! I can ride a horse!”
He ran around the courtyard without any internal injuries.
Shock flashed across Qin Canglan’s eyes, followed by great pride and satisfaction.
This was his and Hua Yin’s bloodline!
How tough!
“Come! I’ll teach you how to ride a horse!” He was happy and patted Su Ergou again.
This time, he was a little excited and slapped Su Ergou to the ground…
Qin Canglan’s expression changed. “Ergou!”
Su Ergou fainted on the spot for two seconds before standing up.
He was fine again.
Su Ergou had a horse, and so did Su Cheng.
His reaction was much calmer.
“In the past, when I was on an escort mission, I had also ridden horses. They were all high-grade warhorses. They were much stronger than your two horses.”
As he spoke, he calmly sat in the saddle and held the reins with both hands. “Look at your thin horse. How much can it run… Woo!”
The horse raised its front hooves and left the alley!
Su Cheng howled until his voice changed.
Qin Canglan brought his son and grandson to learn how to ride a horse. The three children puffed out their chests, indicating that they were also people with horses, a foal to be exact.
Qin Canglan laughed and brought the three little ones and the foal along.
In the afternoon, Su MO came over.
The matter of Su Ergou entering school had been resolved. Su Ergou would enter school next month, so Su MO planned to bring Su Ergou to familiarize himself with the environment first.
“They’ve all gone out to learn how to ride a horse,” Su Xiaoxiao said.
“Did they go out with Granduncle?” Su MO asked.
“Yes.” Su Xiaoxiao nodded.
Su MO sighed.
“What’s wrong?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Su MO smiled helplessly. “Grandpa just instructed me to choose a few gentle horses this morning. He wanted to teach Uncle and Cousin how to ride after they recovered, but I didn’t expect Granduncle to beat him to it.”
“By the way, Uncle and Cousin still don’t know their background, right? When do you plan to tell them?”
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, “Wait until my father can accept that memory.”
Acknowledging Qin Canglan would definitely trigger memories of Su Huayin.
Her father was already suffering. She didn’t want to add to his pain.
At the mention of this, Su MO frowned slightly. “The murderer behind Grandaunt’s death back then should be Ruan Xianglian, but Ruan Xianglian is already dead. Who poisoned my grandfather?”
“Xiangzi had a lover in the Duke’s Protectorate. I once suspected Qin Che, but after thinking about it carefully, I realized that it was wrong. Qin Che probably didn’t know that we had brought the real Duke back. He didn’t break up with the Marquis of Zhenbei. My grandfather was his solid backing. He wouldn’t cut off his own arm.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Maybe what the vendor saw was just what others wanted him to see.”
Su Mo frowned and said, “Do you mean that Xiangzi’s lover is not from the Protectorate at all? In fact, if you guess boldly, he doesn’t have a lover!”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “The vendor saw Xiangzi talking to the servant of the Protectorate with his own eyes and saw him enter the Protectorate. However, what the two of them talked about was all Xiangzi’s own words.”
Su MO’s eyes turned cold. “Someone is framing the Protectorate!”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “This is the most reasonable deduction at the moment. The Qin and Su families are united. If we drive a wedge between you, who will benefit?”
Su MO pondered for a moment. “It’s hard to say. The generals and civil servants might benefit from it.”
The two families were too powerful. Military power was the most obvious on the surface, but other than military power, there were also businesses under the two families and a huge network in the royal court.
Su Xiaoxiao continued, “In addition, we can’t rule out enemies seeking revenge.”
At the mention of enemies, the first person Su MO thought of was… the Wei family.
He looked at Su Xiaoxiao, who was busy arranging the herbs, and swallowed his words.
The news that needed to be brought was delivered. There seemed to be no other reason to stay.
Su Mo paused and suddenly said, “Do you… want to see Ergou’s academy?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Alright, wait a moment. I’ll put away the herbs.”
She carried a dustpan of herbs to the backyard.
Su MO casually glanced around and saw a bowl of walnuts on the table.
One by one, they were big and complete.
Su MO retracted his gaze and did not move.
Su MO continued to sit steadily.
...
Su MO was very calm.
Su MO reached out.
When Su Xiaoxiao came out, she saw that the bowl of walnuts on the table was gone. She exclaimed, “Do you see the walnuts here?”
“Really?” Su MO said without changing his expression. “I didn’t see it.”
The two of them got into the carriage.
Su Mo had placed ajar of walnuts in the most obvious position.
The coachman couldn’t bear to watch.
Su Ergou would be in the Directorate. It was not easy to become a student in the Directorate. Locally, one had to be qualified to be recommended. Not everyone could enter the young masters of the aristocratic families in the capital.
Spots were very scarce.
“How did Ergou enter?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Su MO said calmly, “I moved Fifth Brother’s spot over to use it.”
Su Yuan had a total of five sons. Su Xiaoxiao had seen three so far—the eldest son, Su MO, the second son, Su Qi, and the third son, Su Yu.
Fourth and Fifth Brother had returned to their hometown with Old Madam Su to visit their relatives. It was said that they could only rush back next month.
“What about Fifth Brother?” Su Xiaoxiao asked. Su Mo: “Fifth Brother is older than you…”
Su MO said calmly, “He’ll get in himself.”
If he couldn’t get in, he could get lost. Just because they were born into a military family, it didn’t they didn’t have to study. The internal examination in the capital was very serious. The descendants of military generals studied, and the descendants of civil servants practiced martial arts.
There were actually many descendants of aristocratic families who were both skilled in civil and military domains..
