Chapter 450: Family Reunion

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Su Xiaoxiao and Su MO went to Pear Blossom Lane to pick up the three little ones. It was almost noon when they arrived at the Marquis of Zhenbei’s Estate.

The entire family gathered in the Old Marquis and Matriarch Su’s courtyard and were busy going through the gifts and specialties they had brought back from Yunzhou.

In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient. It took Matriarch Su more than half a year to return from her parents’ house.

Matriarch Su was a kind-looking old lady. Her face was rosy and she had a smile on her face. She looked very easy to get along with.

Su Yuan’s wife, Madam Tao, was a gentle and virtuous woman. Her ancestral hometown was also in Yunzhou. Later on, her father entered the capital and became an official, so the family moved to the capital. “It’s Daya, right? Come over quickly and let Grandaunt take a look.”

Matriarch Su smiled and waved at Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao walked over and called her grandaunt.

Matriarch Su pulled Su Xiaoxiao’s hand and asked her to sit down beside her.

The old woman’s hand was a little rough and warm.

Su Xiaoxiao was very unfamiliar with this direct intimacy from an elder and was a little at a loss.

Matriarch Su looked at her, and her eyes turned red. “She really looks like Huayin…

When Matriarch Su married into the Su family, Su Huayin had yet to get married. Their relationship was very close, and Su Huayin respected her sister-in-law more than her biological brother.

When she was young, Matriarch Su and Su Shuo bickered a lot. Every time, Su Huayin would stand firmly on her sister-in-law’s side.

After Su Huayin was killed, Matriarch Su took many years to recover from her grief.

Matriarch Su couldn’t help but cry.

“Why are you crying in front of the children?” the Old Marquis said majestically.

A man still had some dignity in front of others. It was hard to say if he would kneel on the washboard when he returned to the house.

Matriarch Su quickly wiped her tears and called her daughter-in-law over. “This is your aunt, the mother of Mo’er and the others.”

Su Xiaoxiao obediently called her aunt.

“Hey!” Madam Tao sat down on Su Xiaoxiao’s other side and pulled her other hand. She said excitedly, “Mo’er mentioned you on the way back to the capital.

Child, you’ve suffered all these years.”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her two chubby hands that had lost their freedom and smiled.

The elders cared too much… She couldn’t take it…

When Madam Tao married into the Su family, Su Huayin had already married into the Qin family. The two of them did not interact much, but a daughter was a rare species in the Su family.

Mdm Tao looked at the cute little fat girl and had the urge to kidnap her home to be her daughter.

The two elders held Su Xiaoxiao’s hand and asked her how she got on in the countryside and whether she was used to it after coming to the capital. Su Xiaoxiao was surrounded by the enthusiasm of the elders and felt dizzy.

Fortunately, at this moment, the three little ones who had been brought to pee by Su MO came to save her.

This was the first time the three little ones had visited their relatives openly after coming to the capital.

Although they had gone to the Wei family a few times in the past, it was always done sneakily in the middle of the night.

The three little ones seemed a little reserved. They did not enter immediately. Instead, they leaned against the door and poked their three round heads in.

Madam Tao looked at the door.

The little heads immediately retracted.

Madam Tao thought that she had seen it wrongly and continued to talk to Su Xiaoxiao.

The little heads popped out again.

Madam Tao looked again.

The little heads disappeared again.

Madam Tao was stunned.

Su MO carried the three little fellows in in amusement.

Looking at the three identical children, Madam Tao and Matriarch Su were stunned.

It was not only the two of them, but the servants who were busy in the house also widened their eyes and stood rooted to the ground in shock.

Heavens!

Triplets!

Su MO held one in each hand and one of them was held by the guard.

The three of them shrunk their feet and did not touch the ground. Their faces were cute and blank, like three little bear cubs who had been caught.

“Aiya!” Madam Tao let go of Su Xiaoxiao’s hand and quickly walked towards the three little fellows.

She pinched the three little fellows’ faces one by one.

So soft!

The three little ones lowered their heads shyly.

Madam Tao was mesmerized by their cuteness.

She had given birth to five sons, but none of them were so cute!

She really wanted to stuff the five of them back into her stomach and recreate them!

Madam Tao’s eyes lit up. “You’re Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu, right?”

The three little ones called out tacitly, “Aunt.”

Madam Tao was stunned at first, but then she covered her face with a handkerchief and smiled. “I’m not an aunt. I’m not that young. I’m your Grandaunt.”

The three little ones said, “Aunt.”

Madam Tao’s face turned red.

The corners of Su Xiaoxiao’s mouth twitched.

Madam Tao took good care of herself, had a harmonious family, and was in a

good mood. Naturally, she looked younger than her peers.

However, Su Cheng was also young. The little brats had already called him

Grandpa. She wondered whom they had learned their ingratiating skills from.

The three brats broke free from Su MO and the guard and transformed into little gentlemen in a second. They went outside to pluck three beautiful flowers and offered them to Madam Tao.

Madam Tao couldn’t stop smiling. She felt light as if she was stepping on a cloud.

At the door, the two snow-robed youths watched this scene with their mouths agape.

One of them said hesitantly, “Should we remind Mother that those are the peonies she bought for 5,000 taels of silver? I accidentally knocked off a leaf last time, and she chased after me along an entire street and beat me up…”

After the children saw Madam Tao, they went to greet Matriarch Su. Their calls of “Great-Grandma” made Matriarch Su dizzy.

When she returned to her maiden home this time, her sister-in-law had already carried a few great-grandchildren. However, Mo’er and his brothers were not in a hurry at all. She wanted a little baby so much that she was going crazy!

At the mention of her grandchildren, she looked at the door. “Hey, where did those two brats go?”

Xiaohu tilted his head and asked, “What are brats?”

Matriarch Su trembled and hurriedly said, “Great-Grandma was wrong. It’s Uncle! Fourth Uncle and Fifth Uncle!”

Xiaohu digested it seriously. “Oh.”

At this moment, Su MO brought his two brothers over and said to the three little ones, “Fourth Uncle and Fifth Uncle are here.”

Xiaohu greeted, “Brats!”

Su Xuan and Su Li were speechless.

Su Xiaoxiao finally saw the fourth and fifth brothers Su MO mentioned. The two of them were a pair of twins and were 17 years old this year.

Fourth Brother, Su Xuan, was a quiet and handsome man. In terms of looks, he took after Madam Tao.

Fifth Brother, Su Li, was the Little Demon King of the Su family. He looked more like Su Yuan, but his personality was worlds apart. He was the kind of person who would expose the roof if he did not hit the roof for three days.

He had just run away a few days ago and was captured by the Old Marquis. The corners of his mouth were still green.

He calmly came in front of Su Xiaoxiao and pretended to shake casually. A small snake fell to Su Xiaoxiao’s feet.

Su Xiaoxiao calmly glanced at the little snake and continued to drink her tea.

Su Li’s mouth fell open.

No kidding?

Was she so bold?

He had frightened the Guo sisters in his hometown this way. They were all crying.

He caught the little snake and put it away in his sleeve. He said indifferently,

“Was it your brother who took my place in the Directorate?”

Su Xiaoxiao paused. “That seems to be the case.”

Su Li decisively reached out to Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled. “What?”

Su Li extorted, “The spot is gone. I have to take the exam myself. If I can’t get in, I would be cut off by Old Master! Don’t tell me you think it’s easy to get into the Directorate? It’s very hurtful! On account of us being relatives, 100 taels!”

“Only… a hundred taels?” Su Xiaoxiao said in a daze. Su Li’s eyes flashed. “Ahem, I was wrong. 500 taels!”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Oh.”

Su Li smiled evilly.

It turned out that his little cousin was so easy to extort.

He would extort her a few more times in the future.

Su Xiaoxiao turned to look at Su MO, who was helping Xiaohu prepare the wooden horse. She said innocently, “Cousin, Fifth Cousin asked me for money.

5,000 taels.”

Su Li was speechless..
