Chapter 231 - 231 Knocking On The Door

231 Knocking On The Door

In this posture and scene, it was difficult not to think too much.

Wei Ting almost subconsciously gasped. He wanted to say that nothing had really happened, but he looked at the two of them and swallowed his words.

He grabbed the candied hawthorn with one hand and half-held her with the other. He pressed his elbows against the wall.

The wall was cold and hard, and her body was warm, carrying the softness and fragrance of a young girl.

!!

He was not used to interacting with women.

He should have pushed her away…

“I’m going to fall…”

His arm tightened and he brought her into his arms.

Su Xiaoxiao lay on his chest and listened to his strong heartbeat. Every beat vibrated her eardrums.

Oh, she was not the only one who was disappointing.

He looked so calm but his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

Actually, her legs had long stopped being weak. But she did not want to be the only one to die of embarra.s.sment.

She said softly, “Wei Ting, your heart is beating so fast.”

Hurry up and die!

Wei Ting said coldly, “Isn’t it difficult for me when you are pressing down on me like this? Don’t you know how heavy you are?”

Su Xiaoxiao was speechless!

Su Xiaoxiao pushed him away in a second. Before she pushed him away, she touched his chest!

She wanted to take advantage of him. There was no way she would suffer a loss!

Wei Ting was speechless.

Su Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and gave him a sideways glance. She snorted. “Who was that person just now? Could it be your rotten crush?”

Wei Ting glanced at her indifferently and his thin lips moved. “My Fifth Sister-in-law.”

He was indeed lucky to meet his family on his first day in the capital.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “She called you Little Seven. You’re ranked seventh at home. Well… what’s with the cultivation? Are you a monk?”

Wei Ting said seriously, “You heard wrongly!”

Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin. “Did I?”

Wei Ting said seriously, “It’s getting late. I’ll send you back.”

…

Wei Ting sent Su Xiaoxiao back to her house in Pear Blossom Lane.

The three little ones had just taken a shower. When they heard that their parents had gone to buy candied hawthorn for them, they did not even sleep. They waited at the door like three chicks.

However, when they saw that Su Xiaoxiao had really returned with Wei Ting, they retracted their heads.

Wei Ting was angry and amused. “I’m not taking you away!”

The three of them carefully stuck their heads out and blinked at him, as if they were considering the truth of his words.

Wei Ting took a deep breath and closed his eyes. “…I’ll stay.”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Did I agree to let you stay?”

The three of them pounced over and called out sweetly, “Dad!”

That night, the three little fellows were so excited that they couldn’t sleep. They rolled around on the bed and looked at Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting. It was as if they had returned to their days in Apricot Flower Village.

Wei Ting waited until the three little fellows fell asleep before leaving the house.

He still had something to do. He had to go out tonight.

However, he did not expect to be caught just as he opened the courtyard door.

His eyebrows twitched. “Fifth Sister-in-law?”

Madam Jiang chuckled. “It’s indeed you! I knew I wasn’t wrong! I raised you! How could I be wrong!”

Wei Ting said, “It’s an exaggeration to say you raised me…”

“It’s been a year since we last met. I think you’ve grown into a little hooligan!” Thinking of the unbearable scene she saw in the alley, Madam Jiang wished she could poke herself blind!

“Rascal! Instead of reciting scriptures in the temple, you came to the city to be a galivanting monk! I think you need to be disciplined! Whose house is this? Do you live here?”

Wei Ting said without changing his expression, “No, Fifth Sister-in-law. This is a physician’s house. I came over to buy some medicine.”

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing the injury on his arm.

Madam Jiang’s expression changed slightly.

He said sadly, “It’s also on my legs and body. It’s inconvenient outside, so I won’t show it to Fifth Sister-in-law.”

In terms of acting pitiful, Wei Ting had never lost.

He continued, “I didn’t deliberately hide from Fifth Sister-in-law just now. Someone chased me all the way. I had no choice. It was just that Fifth Sister-in-law happened to come over.”

If the three little ones were here, their jaws would probably drop.

Their stinky father was actually so shameless. Their scheming skills were all leftovers from their dear father.

A trace of heartache flashed across Madam Jiang’s eyes. “Who chased you?”

Wei Ting said softly, “Fifth Sister-in-law, this is not the place to talk.”

...

Mdm Jiang thought for a moment. “Alright, follow me back to the residence.”

Wei Ting said, “There’s no need to return to the residence…”

Mdm Jiang glared at him and pointed at the courtyard behind him. “Are you going back with me yourself, or should I tie you up with the girl in the house?!”

Wei Ting took a deep breath and sighed faintly. “Fifth Sister-in-law, you’ve changed. You don’t dote on Little Seven anymore.”

Madam Jiang was speechless.

…

At the Protector Duke’s Estate, the Old Duke and Qin Che returned to the residence.

It was already night, but because the two of them returned late, the residence was brightly lit.

The kitchen began to make supper for the masters.

The carriage stopped at the second door. The coachman lifted the curtain.

Qin Che wanted to reach out to help his father, but Qin Canglan rejected him.

...

Qin Canglan was a general. Why would he need someone to support him when he got off the carriage?

On the other hand, Qin Che was already 16 years old when he returned to the Duke’s Estate. He had missed the best opportunity to practice martial arts and could not inherit Qin Canglan’s martial arts. It had always been a huge regret in Qin Canglan’s heart.

Later on, with Qin Yun, Qin Canglan placed his hopes on his grandson. Unfortunately, Qin Yun’s talent was mediocre. Qin Canglan had personally taught him for many years, but he only knew some trifling martial arts.

Qin Canglan had only one son. Qin Che only fathered a son and a daughter. It was unknown if his son and grandson could protect the huge foundation of the Duke’s Estate in a hundred years.

“Grandfather, Father!”

Qin Yanran came over with her maidservant.

The two maidservants held lanterns behind them.

Seeing his granddaughter, Qin Canglan’s expression finally improved.

Compared to the father and son, this granddaughter was the most surprising in terms of capability. Unfortunately, she was a woman and could not be brought to the battlefield.

Qin Che said, “It’s so late. Why aren’t you asleep? Where’s your mother and brother?”

Qin Yanran said warmly, “Mother has caught a cold these few days and took the medicine prescribed by the doctor. She rested first. Brother… is also asleep. I made an article to show Father.”

Qin Canglan could not interfere in the discussion.

He returned to the courtyard first.

Qin Yanran dismissed the servants.

When Qin Che saw her posture, he had some guesses. “What happened? Did your brother cause trouble again?”

Qin Yun was very good at causing trouble. Most of the time, they dealt with it and kept it from the Old Duke.

Qin Yanran sighed. “He was… taught a lesson by Princess Jingning today.”

“What? Princess Jing Ning has no grudge against us. Why did she teach your brother a lesson?”

Qin Yanran was not present at the time. She only learned about it from Qin Yun and the servants later.

She told him everything that had happened.

“We meet one of the siblings every day. I wonder why my brother is so unlucky to go against the Su siblings.”

He had just been beaten up by Su Xiaoxiao yesterday, and today, he had been beaten up by Princess Jingning for bullying Su Ergou.

It was as if ever since he met the siblings, he had suffered one disaster after another.

Qin Yanran shook her head. “I told him not to interact with those scoundrels, but he just wouldn’t listen… I’m afraid this matter can’t be hidden from Grandpa. Father has to think of a way to calm Grandpa down as soon as possible… Father, Father?”

Qin Che came back to his senses.

Qin Yanran asked in confusion, “What were you thinking about just now?”

“Ah, nothing,” Qin Che said calmly. “Who do you think those siblings are? Where did they come from?”

Qin Yanran said, “They make snacks. The elder sister’s name is Su Daya, and the younger brother’s name is Su Ergou. They’re from Qingzhou. Other than cooking, the elder sister also knows a little about the Qihuang technique. Now, she’s with her master who has been invited to the Marquis of Zhenbei’s Estate to treat Granduncle.”

Qin Che was deep in thought. Soon, he shook his head. “I must be thinking too much.”

Qin Yanran said, “Father, what do you mean by thinking too much?”

“No.” Qin Che smiled. “You went to visit your Granduncle. How’s his health?”

Qin Yanran’s expression was solemn. “Not good.”

Qin Che smiled and patted his daughter’s shoulder. “Your Granduncle is a good person. He will definitely be fine.”

Qin Yanran sighed softly. “I hope so.”

Qin Che said to his daughter, “It’s late. Settle down.”

“I’ll take my leave.” Qin Yanran bowed and turned to return to her courtyard.

Qin Che looked at the dark night sky. “Qingzhou…”

A night breeze blew, and he s.h.i.+vered inexplicably.
