“You mean… Huan’er?” Matriarch Wei said.
“Yes, Matriarch.” Xiao Ju did not dare to hide anything and told her about Xiao Bai scratching Young Master Guo.
“Did he take Xiao Bai away?” Madam Li asked.
Xiao Hu said, “No, Young Master Guo only spoke to Little Miss for a while. He wasn’t angry and even touched Xiao Bai. After that, he left.”
As for what Guo Huan had said to Wei Xiyue, Xiao Ju did not hear it clearly because his voice was too soft and he had bent down to tell Wei Xiyue
Old Madam Wei paused and said, “Other than Huan’er, has anyone else touched
Xiao Bai? Think about it again.”
Xiaoju shook her head. “No. Little Miss carried Xiao Bai back to the courtyard and never went out again.”
The courtyard was filled with maidservants. Who could have replaced Xiao Bai?
Madam Lan asked softly, “Could it be Xiyue…”
She did not finish her sentence. Everyone knew very well.
Wei Xiyue was not an ordinary child. Perhaps something was wrong with her suddenly.
Su Xiaoxiao said nothing.
She silently closed the medicine box and stood up to go next door.
Wei Xiyue needed to stay in Pear Blossom Lane for the night. Madam Li stayed behind to accompany her, and Matriarch Wei and the others returned to the residence first.
Su Xiaoxiao went next door.
Just as she sat down, Yuchi Xiu came.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him expressionlessly. “Yu Niang didn’t send a letter!” Could this guy stop hanging around her?
Yuchi Xiu said with a dark expression, “I’m here to look for my lord! Who cares about that woman’s letter? I’m waiting for her to return…” He stopped in time.
“Return what to you?” Su Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes and asked. “Yes, yes, yes.” He covered his mouth and made a m.u.f.fled sound.
Su Xiaoxiao blinked. “Underpants?”
Yuchi Xiu jumped three feet high!
d.a.m.n!
How could she tell?!
Su Xiaoxiao curled her lips in disdain. “Yuniang probably burned it for you long ago. Why would she return it to you? Dream on.”
Yuchi Xiu’s heart broke.
It was his favorite pair of underpants…
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him meaningfully. “Wait, you came at the right time. Help me do something.”
Yuchi Xiu took three steps back and looked at her warily. “What do you want now? Let me make it clear first that I won’t help you threaten Madam Wei again!”
“It’s not Madam Wei.” Su Xiaoxiao told her about Wei Xiyue concisely.
Yuchi Xiu’s brain, which was inadequate for dealing with Su Xiaoxiao in the first place, went blank for a full three seconds.
He frowned and said, “I know that Wei Xiyue will have a relapse, but this is the first time I’ve heard of her having a relapse to the point of convulsion. So do you think Wei Xiyue is right and Xiao Bai is indeed not the original Xiao Bai?”
“Yes.” Su Xiaoxiao nodded. Yuchi Xiu said, “And you think Guo Huan did it?”
“Yes.” Su Xiaoxiao nodded again.
Yuchi Xiu’s expression was indescribable. “No way… Do you actually suspect him? Why are you so bold? If the Wei family finds out, they’ll definitely skin you!”
Su Xiaoxiao naturally understood that Yuchi Xiu’s worry was not unreasonable.
After all, it was telling that the Wei family would rather believe that Wei Xiyue had made a mistake than suspect Guo Huan. It could be seen how much Guo Huan was trusted by the Wei family.
If she muttered a few words about Madam Wei’s faults, the Wei family’s reaction would probably not be too big.
Guo Huan was different. He was almost perfect in the Wei family’s hearts.
Yuchi Xiu was not a member of the Wei family. He was an a.s.sa.s.sin.
He did not have many feelings for Guo Huan and was quite objective when looking at problems. He was a.n.a.lyzing the pros and cons of this matter from the perspective of the Wei family.
He felt that this girl did not want to live anymore.
If he followed her, he would attract trouble sooner or later.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Go, go. Just this once. Your qinggong is the best. Other than you, no one else can sneak into the Prime Minister’s Estate quietly.”
This high hat pleased Yuchi Xiu very much, and he went boldly.
Unfortunately, he did not find a little fat squirrel in the Prime Minister’s Estate.
Yuchi Xiu said, “If you didn’t get it wrong, he would have already dealt with the little thing. I was a step too late.”
Su Xiaoxiao sighed. “It’s over.”
Yuchi Xiu was puzzled. “It’s just a little squirrel, right? Even if you find it, you can’t prove anything. The Wei family won’t believe you!”
“It’s not that.” Su Xiaoxiao collapsed on the bed and looked at the roof beam helplessly. “Xiyue will want Xiao Bai when she wakes up. If she doesn’t get it,
her illness will act up.”
It was over.
She could already imagine the tragic scene of Wei Xiyue singlehandedly launching a sound wave attack and overturning the entire alley.
It was dawn.
Wei Xiyue slowly opened her eyes.
The unfamiliar environment instinctively made her feel uneasy. She turned around and saw her sleeping mother beside her, but she slowly calmed down.
Madam Li slept most of the night and only fell asleep when it was almost dawn. She was sleeping soundly.
Wei Xiyue did not wake her up. She climbed over her and got out of bed. She put on her shoes, opened the door, and walked out.
The clear morning wind and the golden morning light mixing with the fragrance of the gra.s.s on the ground was a scene Wei Xiyue had never seen.
Wei Xiyue was not used to going to unfamiliar places. She would feel uneasy.
However, today, before she could feel the emotions in her heart, she saw a pony eating gra.s.s and a little bean lying on the gra.s.s doing something.
“Sihu, look at me.”
Xiaohu kicked with his feet, his small arms slipped, and his body darted up.
He kicked and slid and darted.
Not long after, he arrived in front of Wei Xiyue.
He did not get up. He still lay on the gra.s.s and looked at Wei Xiyue without blinking.
Wei Xiyue also looked at him curiously.
“Who are you? Why are you in my house? Why are you looking at me?”
Xiaohu asked three times.
Wei Xiyue said nothing.
She squatted down and pinched Xiaohu’s cheek before pulling his ear.
Xiaohu’s eyes darted around. “Sister, what are you doing?”
Wei Xiyue knelt down on Xiaohu’s head and bent down to hug his head, giving him a gentle pat.
Xiaohu wondered what was with her. It was so strange.
Wei Xiyue let go of Xiaohu and ran into the house.
Xiaohu continued to lie on the gra.s.s and slide.
Wei Xiyue ran over again.
This time, she had two bags of fruits in her hand. They were stir-fried pine nuts and charcoal-roasted dried meat.
She handed a pine nut to Xiaohu.
Xiaohu said, “I don’t know how to peel.”
Wei Xiyue peeled it for him and fed it to him.
Xiaohu ate it.
Aiya, how fragrant!
“More.”
Wei Xiyue peeled three or four in a row and fed him a small piece of dried meat.
It felt too good to lie down and be fed.
Xiaohu narrowed his eyes in enjoyment and ate heartily.
When Su Xiaoxiao returned home after getting the medicine, Madam Li was already up and sitting in the central room.
Su Cheng was also there.
“Dad, Second Sister-in-law,” Su Xiaoxiao greeted.
Su Cheng hesitated.
Su Xiaoxiao asked strangely, “What’s wrong, Dad?”
Su Cheng cleared his throat and said to Madam Li, “You should do it.” Madam Li smiled awkwardly. “I have good news and bad news.” “The good news is… Xiyue isn’t clamoring for Xiao Bai anymore.” “The bad news is… Xi Yue treats Xiao Hu as the next Xiao Bai.”
Su Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded..
