Chapter 667: Joyous Event at Home
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The scene was too beautiful… she didn’t dare to think about it.
Although the two of them were good-looking and had good figures… No, no! Hurry up and think!
“What’s wrong?” Su MO looked at his sister in shock, not forgetting to put a clean handkerchief on her.
Su Xiaoxiao took the handkerchief and wiped her mouth. She said with a fake smile, “I think… it’s better if you don’t learn how to cure the Gu.”
“Why?”
“I’m afraid you two will fight.”
Who was going up and who was going down? After all, the two of them looked very aggressive.
Su MO thought that she meant that he was not talented enough in medicine. “I learn very quickly.”
No, no, no. You can’t learn this. Listen to me. Isn’t it good to find a girl? Good men are already very rare. Don’t digest your ovvn.
Su Xiaoxiao decisively dismissed Su Mo’s thoughts and waved her hand to send him away.
In the next few days, Su Xiaoxiao rested at home. Qin Canglan came over every day to guide Madam Li and the others. Every time he finished giving them pointers, they no longer had the strength to torture Su Xiaoxiao.
Of course, she still had to learn qinggong.
“Yes, climb higher. Remember the incantation just now. Don’t be afraid!”
Qin Canglan stood on the grass and encouraged his granddaughter, who was using qinggong for the first time. Su Xiaoxiao clenched her fists. “I can do it!”
She closed her eyes and leaped.
THUD!
She fell.
Qin Canglan, who had become a sandbag for her, was smashed onto the green grass. “No… it’s fine… Let’s do it again…”
After being smashed 17 to 18 more times, Wei Liulang was brought over by Qin
Canglan.
‘What?” Wei Liulang asked. As soon as he finished speaking.
THUD!
Su Xiaoxiao fell freely and smashed Wei Liulang into the deep pit!
Wei Liulang was speechless.
In the blink of an eye, autumn was approaching.
Su Xiaoxiao realized that this dynasty valued Liqiu, or the beginning of autumn, very much. This was a big day that concerned the country. The government decrees, farming, and daily routines changed.
Emperor Jing Xuan stopped attending court three days before Liqiu and began to bathe and fast.
There were two major ceremonies on the day of the autumn. One was to offer sacrifices to Shao Zhi and Ru Shou. The former was the White Emperor, one of the ancient emperors. Legend had it that he was the son of the Yellow Emperor. The latter was a descendant of the White Emperor and ruled together with him.
The sacrificial ceremony was in the western suburbs. The Emperor personally arrived and led the civil and military officials to worship piously. It was a huge commotion.
Another important itinerary for the Western Jin and Northern Yan envoys was to observe the autumn sacrifice ceremony of the Great Zhou.
After the sacrifice was the military parade.
The Qin family’s iron cavalry led the way. They were awe-inspiring and the world shook. The sound of hooves and armor echoed in the clear sky, making the commoners feel excited.
The Su family’s vanguard, the Leng family’s archery camp, and the war chariot supply camp paraded the streets with a majestic aura.
They would raise the prestige of the Great Zhou Empire and protect the rivers and mountains for thousands of miles. Their sons would die and the rivers and mountains would last forever!
Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou booked a room in a teahouse along the street. The two of them lay on the windowsill on the second floor. The streets were noisy, and the cries of the commoners were deafening.
“It’s Brother-in-law!”
Su Ergou pointed at Wei Ting on the horse and shouted excitedly.
Wei Ting was parading for the third time. The first time was as the top scholar, and the second time was for the wedding banquet. Every time he appeared, he was refreshing.
At this moment, he was wearing armor. His figure was tall and his aura was powerful. Although his eyes were cold, he gave the commoners and the country a sense of security.
“Cousin! Cousin!” Su Ergou saw Su Mo.
Usually, the autumn festival was led by the Old Marquis. This year, it was Su Mo’s turn. It seemed that the Old Marquis was planning to retire and hand the army over to Su Mo.
“Ahhh! It’s Young Master Sul”
The screams of the young ladies came from the room next door.
When Wei Ting came out, they had already screamed once.
Su Ergou said, “Dad! It’s Dad!”
“Ahhh! Protector Duke!”
Su Xiaoxiao wondered, “That’s my father. Why are you shouting? Do you want to be my stepmother?”
Leng Tiannan had become a cripple, and his legitimate son, Leng Rui, was not worthy of being placed in an important position. The person leading the Leng family’s archery battalion was his biological brother.
With the end of the autumn festival, the visit of the Western Jin envoys to the Great Zhou came to an end.
As for Northern Yan, they were here to spy on and destroy the peace talks between the two countries. In the end, they did not succeed. Instead, they promoted friendly relations between the two countries.
Su Xiaoxiao avenged Moxie’s injustice, which was equivalent to helping the Princess of Western Jin preserve her right to seize the throne. Wasn’t this favor much better than an infighting marriage?
What was even more aggrieving was that Helian Ye was injured.
Although Helian Ye did not tell King Nanyang, the person who placed the Gu on
Moxie was the Gu Master beside Zhao Kangning.
Alright, he could no longer pursue the responsibility of the Great Zhou Imperial Court.
Northern Yan went for wool and came home shorn. They did not want to stay in the Great Zhou for a day.
On this day, Su Xiaoxiao returned.
She had been called over by Su Ergou, who said that something had happened at home.
She wondered what could have happened since the Protector Duke’s Estate was so simple. The moment she entered, she was dumbfounded.
On the two armchairs facing the door, on the left was the domineering Demon Beauty, the Princess of Western Jin, and on the right was the cold beauty, Bai Xihe, who could not hide her immortal appearance even with a veil.
In addition, there was a matchmaker standing in the middle of the house.
There was a thick stack of portraits on the table in front of her.
She smiled and said, “This is a relative of the Minister of Revenue. She’s 28 years old and is good at books…’
“No!” the Princess of the Western Jin Dynasty and Bai Xihe said in unison.
Bai Xihe said calmly, “I heard that her family is in the west city. I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for her to marry far away.”
The Princess of the Western Jin also said, “What’s wrong with marrying far away? Love can be established a thousand miles away, and marriage is tied by a thread. However, I heard that she was engaged to someone before. A woman with two husbands. That’s very inappropriate, right?”
Bai Xihe chuckled. “It’s as if there are fewer men in your residence.”
The Princess of the Western Jin sneered and said, “They’re just gigolos. There’s only one husband.”
Su Xiaoxiao retreated with a numb scalp.
Su Ergou whispered, “Sister, did you see that? The two of them have been sitting here since dawn. The matchmaker came to matchmake our father but the two of them rejected each one. Three matchmakers have already left!”
The corners of Su Xiaoxiao’s mouth twitched. “Are their combat strength so powerful… ”
Su Ergou said, “Sister, think of a way.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Isn’t this up to Dad and you to choose? Who do you want to be your stepmother? One of them is the most beautiful woman in the world, and the other is the most ruthless person in the world. Choose.”
Su Ergou scratched his head. “Uh… how do I choose? Sister, which one do you want?”
Su Xiaoxiao patted his shoulder earnestly. “I got married, and my stepmother won’t be able to control me. On the other hand, if you want to get married and have children in the future, you have to be filial to your stepmother with your wife and children.”
Su Ergou thought for a moment. “Which one of them is less fierce?”
“The one in white,” Su Xiaoxiao said. “But she’s scheming and doesn’t tell the truth. She tricked you.”
Su Ergou was shocked. ‘What about… the one in purple?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “She won’t trick you. At most, she’ll beat you up and send a wolf flying with a punch.” Su Ergou was even more shocked..
