Emperor Jing Xuan did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Why do I remember that your third brother dotes on you the most?”

Princess Hui An snorted. “If he dotes on me, why would he let Jing Yi save an outsider? Those two guards are not good at fighting. They made me fall!”

Emperor Jing Xuan pinched her cheek. “Tell me, which outsider is your third brother biased toward?”

Princess Hui An said angrily, “Isn’t it that Miss Qin from the countryside? She hasn’t changed her name. What’s her name again?”

Eunuch Fu glanced at Emperor Jing Xuan and saw that he seemed to be recalling his name. He said to Princess Hui An, “Su Daya.”

Princess Hui An hurriedly said, “Yes! It’s her! This name is so old-fas.h.i.+oned!” Emperor Jing Xuan looked thoughtful and did not say anything else.

At five o’clock, the day’s cla.s.s ended. The daughters left the Qilin Hall one after another.

Su Xiaoxiao packed her things leisurely.

Everyone in the cla.s.sroom had left, but she was still packing her books.

Suddenly, a tall figure enveloped her.

“Jing Yi…”

She looked up and was halfway through speaking when she said, “Your Highness.”

Ordinary people would not come this way. The first person she thought of was Jing Yi.

Xiao Zhonghua was not angry that he had been recognized. He smiled gently and said, “Are you used to coming to the capital?”

“Not bad,” Su Xiaoxiao said.

Xiao Zhonghua had once invited her to the capital as a friend, but she had rejected him. She did not expect to come after going around in circles.

Xiao Zhonghua said warmly, “I asked Father to give you the spot in the palace school.”

Su Xiaoxiao muttered quietly, “So you schemed against me behind my back!”

Xiao Zhonghua smiled. “Don’t misunderstand. I’m not taking credit or planning to do anything to you. It’s just that since you’re in the capital, it won’t do you any harm to interact more with the people of the big families.”

Su Xiaoxiao continued to pack.

Xiao Zhonghua continued, “As for us…

“Your Highness.” Su Xiaoxiao interrupted him. “There’s no us.”

After leaving the palace, Su Xiaoxiao saw Su Mo’s carriage.

“You didn’t wait for a day again, did you?” She got into the carriage.

Su MO said, “I went to do something during the day and only came over when you finished school.”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded in satisfaction.

Su MO looked at her in amus.e.m.e.nt. “What kind of little adult expression is

Su Xiaoxiao said to herself, “Little adult? I’m an adult!”

Su MO was 22 this year, only a year older than Wei Ting. One had to know that in her previous life, she had lived until she was in her thirties— Wait.

Wei Ting was 21.

Was she an old cow eating young gra.s.s in a May-December relations.h.i.+p?

That wasn’t right.

She had yet to eat it.

Su Xiaoxiao frowned bitterly.

Su MO was amused by her changing expression. “What are you thinking about again?”

“Nothing.” Su Xiaoxiao dusted her wide sleeves and muttered calmly, “I’ll eat it sooner or later!”

Su MO was speechless.

What was this girl talking about?

Su MO pushed a jar of walnuts in front of her. “It’s your first day of school. Are you used to it?”

Su Xiaoxiao grabbed a handful of walnuts. “Oh, yes.”

Su MO continued, “I heard from Eunuch Sun that your horse was frightened.”

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at him. “It’s not easy to earn your money.”

Eunuch Sun had to go all the way out of the palace to report her situation to him.

Su MO couldn’t help but laugh. “If you don’t like it, I won’t let him report it next time.”

Su Xiaoxiao nibbled on a walnut. “It’s not that I don’t like it. Do as you please.”

Su MO laughed and poured her a cup of tea.

“I found out something and was wondering if I should tell you.”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Is it related to Wei Ting?” This girl… was really terrifyingly smart…

Fortunately, she was his sister, not an enemy.

“Yes,” Su MO said. “One is a clue about my grandfather’s poisoning, and the other is the background of the three children.”

Su Xiaoxiao stopped drinking her tea and widened her clear eyes at him without blinking.

Su MO asked for her opinion. “Let’s talk about my grandfather first?”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded.

Su MO continued, “I’ve been investigating for so long, and all the clues point to the Wei family. I’ve mentioned the entanglement between the Qin, Su, and Wei families to you, but I don’t think I told you what happened between them. Back then, Old General Wei, Lord Wu An, was surrounded by the Beiyan army and sent people to the Qin family’s military camp a hundred miles away to ask Granduncle to send troops for support. Granduncle didn’t go.”

Su Xiaoxiao asked in confusion, “Why not?”

Su MO shook his head. “I’m not sure either. Granduncle refused to say much about what happened back then… Granduncle might know. Now, do you understand how deep the hatred is between the Wei family, the Qin family, and the Su family?”

He would persuade his sister to give up on Wei Ting every day.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t answer his question. She would always have her own logic and wouldn’t be affected by the thoughts of others.

She touched her chin and said thoughtfully, “The two families are political enemies. Did Qin Canglan want to use Beiyan to get rid of Lord Wu An? This doesn’t make sense. Lord Wu An Lord died in battle a few years ago, and the current emperor has been on the throne for 17 years. The emperor has already stabilized the throne. They are loyal to a monarch. Why is this? Or… is this the emperor’s intention? The emperor is afraid of the Wei family and wants them to decline?”

Not only was this girl smart, but she was also bold. She dared to guess everything.

Su MO said, “I’m afraid I can only ask Granduncle himself about the exact situation. It’s useless for me to ask. He won’t tell me. You can try.” Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and felt that it was feasible.

“What about the second piece of information you found?” she asked.

She didn’t indulge in useless things for too long and always maintained a terrifying calmness.

The more Su MO interacted with her, the more he realized that she really had the potential of an outstanding soldier.

Unfortunately… she was a woman.

He gathered his thoughts and said to Su Xiaoxiao, “The second news is about the background of Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu.’

Su Xiaoxiao put down the walnut in her hand.

Su MO said seriously, “They’re not Wei Ting’s sons.”

Su Xiaoxiao paused. “They are not Wei Ting’s… He never had a child with another woman.”

Su MO was speechless. He suddenly regretted telling her this.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Then whose sons are they?”

“I suspect…” Su MO said..
