Chapter 365: Recognition
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Su Yuan had been busy supervising the Divine Bow Camp and was not in the capital. He only received the news in the afternoon. He rushed to the medical center without stopping.
“How’s Ergou?”
He walked into the hall and asked the Physician who was prescribing medicine for someone.
The doctor pointed to the backyard and said, “He’s out of danger for the time being. He’s in Daya’s room.”
“Thank you, Physician Fu.”
Su Yuan immediately looked for Su Ergou.
Su Ergou felt like he had nothing to live for after being drooled on by the three little ones. He thanked Su Yuan for saving him from the fire and water, mainly water.
Su Yuan saw that Su Ergou’s head was wrapped in gauze and his body was covered in gauze. His heart ached.
“How did Su Qi and Su Yu take care of you
His two sons were dead meat!
Su Ergou said, “It has nothing to do with them. I was the one who left with Qin
Yun.”
Su Yuan said coldly, “That’s because they didn’t look after you! I’ll teach them a lesson later!”
Su Ergou said, “Uncle, don’t teach Second Cousin and Third Cousin a lesson.” The word ‘Uncle’ broke Su Yuan’s defense.
He was so excited that his body and mind were trembling. “Ergou… what… what did you just call me?”
Su Ergou didn’t think there was anything wrong with how he addressed him, but Su Yuan’s expression made him doubt himself.
Su Ergou thought for a moment. “Cousin… Uncle?”
Su Yuan immediately said, “No, just Uncle!” What cousin?
Aunt’s son was his biological brother!
Su Ergou obediently addressed him as Uncle, which made Su Yuan overjoyed.
Su Yuan looked at the strong-looking Ergou and liked him no matter how he looked at him. He was much more pleasing to the eye than the few brats at home.
“Uncle.” The three little ones followed suit.
Su Yuan shuddered. “You don’t call me uncle! You call me Big Grandpa!”
The three little ones: “Big Grandpa!”
“Aye, good boys.”
Su Yuan smiled and patted their heads. “Did I forget something…”
The three little fellows were Wei Ting’s sons…
No, the three of them had already crossed the path in front of His Majesty. They were Daya’s sons, so they belonged to the Su family.
It had nothing to do with Wei Ting anymore.
Yes, he had grandsons.
How nice!
Su Yuan started to tease the little boys.
After teasing the Dahu, he would tease Erhu; when he was done with Erhu, he would tease Xiaohu, making the three little ones dizzy.
Su Ergou had a look that said, ” Hello? There’s a patient here?”
Su Ergou was in good spirits. Therefore, even though he was seriously injured, his situation was still optimistic.
What worried everyone was Su Cheng.
Even at night, he showed no signs of waking up.
Qin Canglan and the Old Marquis came over with solemn expressions. The two elders sat in front of the bed while Su Yuan stood at the side. He did not say anything.
“What did Mo’er say?” the Old Marquis asked.
Su Yuan said, “Mo’er went out of the city to pick up Fifth Brother. If he’s fast, he can arrive tomorrow night.”
The morning of the day after tomorrow was the day of the official competition.
Qin Jiang was a scheming person. That day, Su Cheng called Su MO Young Master in the courtyard and later fainted in Su Huayin’s courtyard, Qin Jiang had probably already guessed something.
Giving Su Cheng one of the boys from the Marquis of Zhenbei was the only way.
Su MO definitely wouldn’t work. He was the eldest son, and there had never been a reason for him to be adopted.
Second Brother and Third Brother were not suitable either.
The safest way was to choose one from between the fourth and fifth.
Fourth Brother…
The Old Marquis and Su Yuan frowned at the thought of him.
In short, Qin Jiang had been Qin Canglan’s son for twenty years and the Old Marquis’s nephew for twenty years. He knew the situation of the Marquis of Zhenbei like the back of his hand.
He impatiently judged that Old Fifth was the best candidate to replace Su Cheng, so he would definitely think of ways to stop Old Fifth from returning to the capital.
At night, the officials of the Imperial Capital came to the medical center.
“Excuse me, is Miss Su here? We want to take her to the Imperial Capital for questioning.”
“Who are you taking to the Imperial Capital for questioning?” Su Yuan’s deep voice sounded at the top of the stairs.
The officials looked up.
Three big shots walked down from upstairs.
Qin Canglan said, “Repeat what you just said.”
The Old Marquis said, “Speak louder. The Old Protector Duke and I are old, so we can’t hear clearly.”
The officer almost peed his pants!
He was here to bring the witness for questioning, but why did he feel that if he really did, the grass on his grave would be two meters tall by next year?
He trembled and said, “I… I’m here to ask if… is Miss Su around. If she is, we can come and ask about the crime scene last night.’
Qin Canglan brushed his clothes and said indifferently, “Hmph! That’s more like it!”
The officer who felt that he had saved his own skin said to himself, “My life is
too difficult…
Su Xiaoxiao was one of the witnesses last night. When the base collapsed for the second time, she and Su Ergou were the first witnesses in the basement.
Su Ergou was seriously injured and was unconscious. Su Xiaoxiao was awake.
The officer was asking Su Xiaoxiao about the situation as a routine procedure.
“It doesn’t matter if you didn’t see it,” the official said softly.
Their duty was to collect as many clues as possible, but they might not be able to gain anything every time they asked. This was how solving cases was. They were already used to it.
Su Xiaoxiao recalled carefully.
At that time, it was too dark below, and she really did not see anything.
But she smelled it.
She closed her eyes and tried to recall.
The thick, putrid corpse aura was nauseating.
But in between… there was a faint… fragrance.
“Fragrance?” The official felt his hair stand on end. He said with an accent, “They’re all corpses. Why would there be corpse aura in their sacs?”
“Yes.” Su Xiaoxiao said confidently.
This body was abnormally sensitive. It was afraid of pain and heat, and didn’t tolerate hunger. It often made Su Xiaoxiao suffer unspeakably. However, it had an advantage. It was too sensitive, so its five senses were sharper than those ordinary people.
The officer wrote it down.
The testimony of an eyewitness was not something that small fries like them could decide. The higher-ups would determine its authenticity and value.
“What kind of fragrance is it?” he asked.
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head. “I’m not sure. I’ve never smelled that fragrance before. But if I smell it again, I’ll definitely be able to recognize it.”
The official wrote it down truthfully.
“Excuse me, may I ask your brother?”
What if there was a clue?
Su Xiaoxiao nodded.
The official went to the courtyard to see Su Ergou.
Unfortunately, Su Ergou was indeed confused at that time and could not provide any valuable clues.
After the officer left, Wei Ting came over.
He appeared behind Physician Fu like a ghost.
Physician Fu had just finished replenishing the medicine cabinet. When he turned around, he was shocked to see a living person standing in front of him!
“Lord… Lord Wei?”
Doctor Fu had lived in the Marquis of Zhenbei Estate and Pear Blossom Alley for so long, so he naturally knew Wei Ting’s identity. Now, only Manager Sun, Little Weizi, and the others were still in the dark. “Physician Fu.” Wei Ting also greeted him. “I’m here to change the dressing.”
Physician Fu said, “Wait, I’ll go get Daya.”
Wei Ting said, “Change it for me. Don’t trouble her. Let her catch her breath.”
He sounded especially like a considerate husband.
Physician Fu did not suspect anything.
He brought Wei Ting to the room and took out the various herbs that Su Xiaoxiao had brought from the pharmacy. He disinfected Wei Ting’s sutures, applied ointment, and wrapped the gauze again.
“Thank you.” Wei Ting thanked him and stood up to leave.
As soon as he reached the door, he saw a certain fat peacock holding an IV drip and a needle, looking at him playfully.
“Where are you going, Lord Wei?”
Wei Ting’s hair stood on end as he tried not to look at the needle. “I have something urgent to do tonight. I’ll come back later.”
Without another word, Su Xiaoxiao grabbed a certain someone’s collar and dragged the disobedient patient back to the ward with a cold expression..
