Su Xiaoxiao leaned gently on his chest and listened to his gradually recovering heart. She asked in a low voice, “Are they not good?”

He inserted his fingertips into her hair and stroked her hair. He said weakly, “Young Master Liu… likes to gamble. Minister Zhang’s son is… lecherous. That widower butcher… Do you think it’s not enough to be a stepmother to three brats?”

Su Xiaoxiao muttered, “How do you know so much?”

Wei Ting sneered weakly. “Heh.”

Look, this person was already so injured, but he was still so arrogant.

Su Xiaoxiao wanted to get up and check on him, but he pressed her down weakly and domineeringly.

“Don’t move,” he said.

“Oh.” Su Xiaoxiao obediently lay on his chest, not daring to use too much strength, afraid that she would affect his injuries.

“We got the armor back,” she said. “And the red ta.s.sel gun.”

That old thief, MO Guiyuan, had killed Lord Wu An and even stolen his armor and weapons. Did he think that he could become the second Lord Wu An by doing this?

It was extremely ridiculous.

He probably could not tell if he killed Lord Wu An out of hatred for killing his son or out of surging jealousy.

“Yes,” Wei Ting replied calmly. He hugged his little fat peac.o.c.k and suddenly felt peaceful.

Su Xiaoxiao rubbed her head gently against the gauze on his chest. “Wei Ting, actually, I’ve always had a question in my heart. How did you know that MO Guiyuan would definitely go to Pear Blossom Lane when he was at his wits’ end? Did you discover something? You..

Halfway through, she looked up and sized him up carefully.

He was already asleep again.

Su Xiaoxiao brushed aside a strand of hair on his temple. “Alright, seeing that you’re so seriously injured, I’ll ask you next time.”

With that, she sat up straight.

Su Cheng, who was sitting under the corridor, heard the commotion in the house and quickly pushed the door open and walked in. “Daughter! Who were you talking to just now? Is my son-in-law awake?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “He was awake and is now asleep again.”

“Ah.” Su Cheng looked at Wei Ting. “Then, is my son-in-law out of danger?”

Su Xiaoxiao thought of someone’s excessively jealous reaction just now and said, “I guess… I guess.”

Su Cheng heaved a sigh of relief. Since his daughter said so, his son-in-law should be fine.

“Dahu and the others have been asking where Dad and Mom went, but I don’t dare to say. Since my son-in-law is fine, I’ll go to the Duke Mansion to bring the three of them over.”

“Yes.” Su Xiaoxiao also missed the three children.

Thinking of something, Su Cheng asked, “Ah, right, since my son-in-law is out of danger, can I tell the Wei family?”

Previously, when Wei Ting was so injured, they were worried that Matriarch Wei would not be able to take it. They did not dare to send the news to the Wei family and only asked Yuchi Xiu to say that Wei Ting was cleaning up the aftermath in the peach forest.

In the afternoon, Matriarch Wei, who had learned the truth, brought her four granddaughters-in-law and Wei Xiyue to the medical center.

When she saw Wei Ting covered in bandages and lying motionless on the bed, Matriarch Wei’s eyes turned red.

No matter how many storms she had experienced and how many family members she had lost, she would still be in so much pain that she would rather die if she lost another.

Wei Ting was her only grandson. If anything happened to Wei Ting again, she would really not be able to take it.

“Will Little Seven really be fine?” Matriarch Wei asked nervously. “Why isn’t he awake?”

“He woke up for a while and fell back asleep,” Su Xiaoxiao said. “His willpower is very tenacious. He won’t admit defeat easily.”

Even if the King of h.e.l.l came, he would not hand over his life obediently.

Wei Ting was just so stubborn.

Old Madam Wei agreed. “He studied in his early years, but it wasn’t all because he loved to study. He was born prematurely and was weaker and more sickly than his brothers. We all thought that he couldn’t learn martial arts, so we didn’t teach him much. Hence, he secretly practiced with his sixth brother. As he practiced, he actually became better than his brothers.”

How strong was this child’s willpower?

As the two of them spoke, Madam Li scolded from the courtyard, “Who asked you to give Xi Yue lotus seeds?”

The maidservants were trembling. “Madam, we didn’t.”

Wei Xiyue choked on a lotus seed when she was two years old. Ever since then, Matriarch Wei ordered that no one was allowed to pluck the lotus seed for her to eat.

Madam Li said coldly, “If you didn’t pluck them, where did the lotus seed pods come from? Could it be that she went to the lotus pond to pluck them herself?”

The maidservants did not dare to make a sound.

They swore that they really didn’t pluck them…

Wei Xiyue sat on the steps with a watery lotus. She was immersed in her own world and did not hear their argument.

Matriarch Wei walked over with her walking stick and leaned over to ask Wei

Xiyue, “Xiyue, tell great-grandmother where the lotus seed pod came from.”

Wei Xiyue reacted to Matriarch Wei’s voice. She looked up at Matriarch Wei and ran away without saying anything.

Matriarch Wei followed her.

She left the back door of the medical center and turned left in the back alley.

She pa.s.sed by the original Benevolence Hall and walked all the way to the west.

“Xiyue, slow down. Where are you going? Be careful not to fall.”

As Old Madam Wei tried her best to follow, she did not forget to remind her great-granddaughter.

Wei Xiyue ran all the way to a lotus pond before stopping.

Old Madam Wei was old and was panting.

She leaned on her walking stick and came to Wei Xiyue’s side. She followed her gaze and looked in the direction of the lotus pond.

In the depths of the lotus pond, Wei Liulang was rowing a small boat through the lotus leaves. He picked the big lotus pods and added them to a basket that was almost full.

Seeing that he was almost done plucking, he planned to row the boat back. However, iust as he looked um he saw Matriarch Wei.

Old Madam Wei stared at him with a burning gaze, her body trembling slightly.

“Grandmother! Grandmother!”

It was Madam Li and Madam Chen.

Madam Li pulled Wei Xiyue in front of her and said angrily, “Are you naughty again? You even let your great-grandmother chase after you? Your great-grandmother is old. How can she outrun you?”

Wei Xiyue shook her head.

Madam Lan looked at Matriarch Wei’s stunned expression and could not help but ask, “Grandmother, what’s wrong?”

The others also noticed Matriarch Wei’s abnormality. Old Madam Wei said agitatedly, “I… I saw Little Six.”

“Huh?” They were all stunned.

It had been four years since Little Six pa.s.sed away. What was Grandmother talking about?

“He was there…” Matriarch Wei waved her hand and pointed, but there was only an empty boat in the lotus pond.

Old Madam Wei said anxiously, “No, I clearly saw him just now! He was on that boat! It’s Little Six! It’s Wei Yan!”

Mdm Jiang said awkwardly, “Grandmother, are you too worried about Little

Seven… It’s good that you didn’t rest?”

“I’m not blind yet!” Matriarch Wei turned to look at Wei Xiyue. “Xiyue saw him too, right? Your Sixth Uncle?”

Wei Xiyue nodded.

Madam Li and the others exchanged glances. Other than Madam Chen, who was stunned, the others did not believe that Matriarch Wei and Wei Xiyue had seen Wei Liulang.

Madam Li said, “Grandmother, Xiyue was only three years old when Little Six got into trouble. What does such a young child remember?”

What Madam Li did not say was that Xiyue was not a normal child. She might not have understood what Matriarch Wei meant at all.

She held Matriarch Wei’s arm. “Grandmother, let’s go back.”

Old Madam Wei was escorted back by a few people.

Wei Xiyue ran to the pond and squatted down.

A head popped out of the water.

“Xiyue, why aren’t you here yet?” Madam Li turned around and urged.

“Shh…” Wei Liulang gestured for Wei Xiyue to keep quiet and sank into the water again.

Wei Xiyue thought for a moment and shouted at the water, “Sixth Uncle!”
