Bai Ze’s words were also a reminder to Jing Yi.
Wei Ting’s status was precious, but wasn’t Jing Yi also a prodigy?
His grandfather was the Marquis of Might, his biological aunt was Concubine Xian, and his father was the Minister of Rites.
Although the Jing family was not a military family, Jing Yi had been gifted since he was young and was a rare talent.
It was impossible for him to marry a woman from the common people.
Not to mention that the woman had been married before…
After arriving home, Jing Yi greeted his grandfather as usual.
Just as he reached the door of the study, he heard an unusual conversation coming from inside.
“Father, are you serious?
“How can the news your sister got someone to send from the palace early in the morning be fake?”
“This is too… too surprising.”
Jing Yi had no intention of eavesdropping on his elders’ conversation. Since his grandfather and father had something to discuss, he planned to come back tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he heard his grandfather say,
“That’s right. Who would have thought that Qin Che wasn’t the real Protector Duke? That Su Cheng from the countryside of Qingzhou is the real McCoy!”
Jing Yi stopped in his tracks.
“Father, what should we do?”
“Your sister is also worried. Let me quickly find out what’s going on with that Su Cheng. Could it be that Qin Canglan made a mistake? I’ve already sent someone to the Protector Duke’s Estate and the Marquisate of Zhenbei. The news has spread throughout both families. Qin Che is indeed not Qin Canglan’s biological son and has already been chased out of the main courtyard by Qin Canglan. He has also handed over his token and golden seal. He can’t keep his position as the Protector Duke!”
“Then… what about the marriage between the Third Prince and the daughter of the Qin family?”
“If I knew what to do, I would have entered the palace long ago! But according to the investigation, the real Protector Duke also has a daughter, but she seems to have been married in the countryside.”
Jing Yi was stunned.
Su Xiaoxiao took a nap. When she woke up, her high fever had subsided and her clothes had been changed.
She would sweat when her fever subsided. It was obvious that Wei Ting had changed it for her.
Su Xiaoxiao lowered her head and pulled open her collar.
He had even changed her undergarment…
This guy was good!
Wei Ting was not in the room.
Su Xiaoxiao touched the side of the bed and felt cold.
Wei Ting was already up.
Or rather, he’d hardly slept all night.
Su Xiaoxiao was in a daze from the fever. She sweated one moment and felt cold the next. It repeated until dawn.
Wei Ting did not have time to rest. He had to prepare breakfast.
At least he was aware of his culinary skills. Instead of continuing with the ingredients in the kitchen, he went out to buy beancurd and steamed buns.
Just as he entered the house to see if Su Xiaoxiao had woken up, he saw a fat girl looking around on the bed with wide eyes.
“What are you looking for?” he asked.
“Blood from nosebleed!” Su Xiaoxiao said solemnly.
Wei Ting was speechless.
Wei Ting coughed lightly. Just as he placed the things on the table in the central room, the sound of hooves sounded outside.
A carriage stopped outside the house. “Daughter! We’re back!”
It was Su Cheng’s excited voice.
Yesterday, Qin Canglan brought Su Cheng, Su Ergou, and the three little ones out to ride horses. At first, he only planned to find a relatively quiet empty s.p.a.ce nearby. Later, he realized that these few people were too noisy and could not use ordinary empty s.p.a.ces.
Hence. Oin Canglan brought her to the Oin familv’s horse farm.
There were too many good horses on the horse farm. Su Cheng and Su Ergou were dazzled by the selection, wishing they could try every horse.
The three little ones did not stay idle. The pageboys on the horse farm brought them trained ponies and placed the children’s saddles. The pageboys led them around the horse farm.
The three little ones raised their chins smugly.
The few of them had so much fun that they forgot the time. When the three little fellows began to look for their mother, it started to rain heavily again.
They had no choice but to stay overnight in the ranch house.
The three little ones missed their mother terribly. Su Cheng and Su Ergou also missed their Daya. The group rushed back without eating.
The three little ones jumped down anxiously.
Qin Canglan was shocked. He got off the horse before them and picked up the three little b.a.l.l.s.
The courtyard door opened.
Qin Canglan put down the little packrat army and turned to see his precious granddaughter.
Unexpectedly, their eyes met.
Qin Canglan was shocked. “Wei Ting?”
Wei Ting was also stunned.
He had heard Father Su’s voice and came to open the door, but he had forgotten that Father Su and the others had gone out with Qin Canglan yesterday.
Wei Ting knew of Qin Canglan’s existence, but Qin Canglan did not know of Wei Ting.
There was only his granddaughter at home and Wei Ting’s sudden appearance
here…
Wa Wei Ting here to a.s.sa.s.sinate his granddaughter?
Qin Canglan’s killing intent was bound to appear as he attacked Wei Ting!
Wei Ting took a step back and avoided his killing move.
Qin Canglan chased in and the two of them fought in the courtyard.
Qin Canglan was serious. It had not been easy for him to reunite with his son’s family. He would take the lives of whoever dared to hurt his precious granddaughter!
Wei Ting focused on defense.
In a flash, the two of them had exchanged more than ten moves.
Qin Canglan said coldly, “As expected of Wei Wei’s grandson… You have some ability. Next, I’m going to be serious!”
He sank his energy into his diaphragm and circulated his internal energy.
Wei Ting’s eyes darkened slightly.
Qin Canglan was good. He had to attack this move head-on.
Wei Ting turned his palm into a fist and faced Qin Canglan’s killing move.
In the blink of an eye, Su Cheng walked in strangely. “Son-in-law, Uncle Qin, what are you two doing?
Son-in-law?
Qin Canglan froze in shock.
Wei Ting wanted to retract his hand, but it was too late.
He punched Qin Canglan’s face…
Su Cheng was shocked and ran over in a panic.
“Son-in-law, are you alright?”
He held Wei Ting’s shoulder with both hands and looked up and down, extremely worried.
Qin Canglan muttered, “I think I was the one who was beaten up?”
Qin Canglan refused and looked at Wei Ting. “What did you call him?”
Su Cheng said angrily, “He called me Dad! I’m his son-in-law! No! He’s my son-in-law!”
Look at how angry he was!
Qin Cang’s body trembled. “He… he’s Daya’s… husband?” What the h.e.l.l?
Why was his grandson-in-law the brat of the Wei family?
This can’t be true!
Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu ran in and called out to Wei Ting in a childish voice,
“Dad..”
