Chapter 758: Face Slapping

Translator: Atlas Studios      Editor: Atlas Studios

Wei Ting and Su Xiaoxiao had to go to the palace banquet. Wei Ting was an official of the Imperial Court and could not disobey the decree, and Su Xiaoxiao had half an official position in the Imperial Hospital.

Su Xiaoxiao was dressed neatly and was about to call Wei Ting to ask her grandmother if she was going. When she turned around and saw Wei Ting looking like he had been beaten up seventeen to eighteen times, she couldn’t help but ask, “Did you get beaten up by Third Sister-in-law again? Or is my grandfather here?”

Qin Canglan was ruthless enough to beat up the sandbag.

“No,” Wei Ting said with a dark expression.

“Then why did you…” Su Xiaoxiao leaned closer and stared at his face carefully.” You didn’t sleep well? ”

Wei Ting asked coldly, “Do you know that you sleep very irregularly?” “Did I? Did I snatch your blanket?” Su Xiaoxiao expressed her doubts.

“You…” Wei Ting hesitated. If only she had just snatched a blanket.

It took him a lot of effort not to eat her up, but she touched him all night. She touched everything she should and shouldn’t have touched!

How could anyone sleep?

He clenched his fists. “Behave yourself when you sleep in the future! Don’t touch anything below the waist!”

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at his body. Only she knew what kind of top-notch figure was hidden under these heavy clothes.

She raised her eyebrows meaningfully. “Oh.”

The two of them went to Old Madam Wei.

Matriarch Wei had just changed into her traveling clothes and seemed to be preparing to enter the palace.

The triplets went too.

Su Xiaoxiao changed their appearance, so they became like the last time they went to the palace.

Zhuge Qing put on his mask.

Ghostfear and Wei Liulang did not go. They had an even more important mission to ask about the whereabouts of the two herbs.

“Brother.” Before leaving, Su Xiaoxiao handed him a letter. “Please give this letter to Ling Yun.”

This was what Moxie asked her to bring to Ling Yun.

Ghostfear asked, “Why didn’t you give it to me yesterday?”

Su Xiaoxiao said without changing her expression, “The letter is in the box. I only packed it today.”

The truth was that she had placed the letter in the pharmacy. The pharmacy was intermittently activated, and she had only been let in this morning.

Ghostfear frowned. He didn’t want to send a letter to Ling Yun.

Su Xiaoxiao reminded him, “Also, Brother, don’t fight with Ling Yun. If you’re locked up again, you’ll be delayed in finding medicine for Second Brother.”

These words hit the nail on the head.

“Got it. When we find the medicine, I’ll definitely take his life!”

Ghostfear called Wei Liulang along.

Wei Liulang took a step to the side. “I don’t want to. I’m afraid that Big Brother will trap me in prison again.”

Ghostfear was speechless.

Ghostfear went to Pear Blossom Lane alone.

Ling Yun said angrily, “It’s only been a day. Why are you here again?”

He had lived in a cell for 27 days out of 30 days in a month. Ling Yun had never been so speechless in his life.

Ling Yun looked at the faint peony mark in the corner of the envelope and frowned slightly.

Old Matriarch Wei led everyone out of the residence and got into the carriage that entered the palace.

She, Madam Chen, Madam Lan, and Madam Jiang had a carriage. The children had a carriage with Li Wan. Wei Qing, Mei Ji, and the assassin had a carriage.

Ah Yuan was the coachman.

The Old Marquis and Su Yuan also came over, and Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting got into his carriage.

Emperor Jing Xuan mainly invited the Wei family and Zhuge Qing to a banquet, but the Old Marquis and Su Yuan, as the Great Zhou envoys who had interacted with Zhuge Qing along the way, were also present.

Many things had happened while they were not in the capital.

There were two happy events. Firstly, Fourth Cousin Su Xuan had passed the county examination in August. Not only that, but he had also become the Top Scorer with the first place.

The second happy event was Su MO’s promotion.

The flood in the southwest caused a riot. Su MO went south on orders and contributed to quelling the chaos. After returning to the capital, he was conferred the title of fourth-grade Pingnan General.

Along with him was the Eldest Prince, Xiao Duye. Xiao Duye was conferred the title of King Liang.

Su Xiaoxiao curled her lips. “What did he do? It was all because of Eldest Cousin charging in front. H just picked bup the ready-made credit.”

Su Yuan smiled. “That’s how the royal family is. When they want to attribute contributions to a prince, they would just send him to the battlefield, have him sit in the tent and wait for the general to make contributions.”

Su Xiaoxiao thought of the imperial heirs of the Western Jin and suddenly understood the reason why the Western Jin was so powerful. From Yuwen Huai to Yuwen Xi to Yuwen Lin and his younger brothers, they all went to the battlefield with real swords and spears.

The Western Jin Emperor would not allow anyone to pick up credit at all.

“Where’s Cousin?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Su Yuan sighed. “He only returned to the capital for a few days and went north with Uncle. He just left a few days ago.”

He was a general. He was either fighting a war or on the way to war.

Su Xiaoxiao had an epiphany. “I was wondering.”

Su Yuan sensed that there was a hidden meaning in her words. “What’s wrong?”

Su Xiaoxiao told him the news she had heard from Mei Ji, omitting the process of her second sister-in-law being almost bullied by a bastard.

“The night we just returned to the capital, the Li family encountered some trouble. That group of people knew that Second Sister-in-law was the Young Madam of the Wei family, but they didn’t take her seriously. It turns out that everyone is no longer in the capital.”

Wei Ting was not around, the Old Marquis, Su Yuan, and Su MO were not around, and even Qin Canglan had left.

Wasn’t bullying the Wei family a slap to the Qin family’s face? As long as Qin Canglan was still in the capital, no one would dare to touch the Wei family. Su Yuan’s expression darkened. “Was there such a thing?”

The Old Marquis tugged at his sleeve. This action meant that he wanted to beat someone up.

Wei Ting was very silent, but it was not that he was not angry. On the contrary, his calm was more like the calm before the storm.

The carriage arrived at the palace.

Wei Ting got out of the carriage first, then helped them down.

The weather was cold. Su Xiaoxiao asked Ah Fu to sit by the fire in the carriage and not freeze outside.

Just as they were about to enter the palace, another carriage stopped beside them.

“It’s King Liang’s carriage,” Su Yuan said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain of the car was indeed lifted. King Liang, Xiao Duye, looked at them with a smile.

“So it’s Marquis Zhenbei, Prince Su, General Wei, and Madam Wei. It’s been a long time since we last met. How have you been? Did your trip to the Western Jin go smoothly?”

The Old Marquis cupped his hands. “Your Highness, everything is fine.”

Xiao Duye looked into the palace and said amiably, “It’s still a distance from the

Qilin Hall. If you don’t mind, take my carriage.”

He had been conferred the title of king. The carriage could be driven into the palace for a long distance. Although he could not reach the Qilin Hall, it would save him a lot of walking time if he could stop at the grassland a hundred steps away.

“Is he trying to rope in Grandfather?” Su Xiaoxiao asked Wei Ting.

Wei Ting nodded.

Su MO and Xiao Duye suppressed the chaos together. In his heart, he felt that he already had a strong relationship with Su Mo. The Su family was a faction he could fight for.

Unexpectedly, the Old Marquis refused without thinking. “Thank you, Your

Highness. I still prefer to walk.”

Xiao Duye looked at the gray sky. “It’s going to snow soon. This road is not easy to walk.”

THUD!

His carriage was hit. His body swayed and he almost threw himself out of the carriage.

“What’s going on?” He frowned and lifted the curtain of the back window.

“Who’s so blind? How dare you hit my carriage?”

Mei Ji lifted the curtain and looked at him coldly. “A good dog doesn’t block the way! Who’s in front! Hurry up and move aside for my master!”

Xiao Duye wanted to say that she was so rude to him and wanted to drag her out to be killed. However, when he saw the charming Mei Ji, he was stunned and changed his words. “You, who’s your master?”

Mei Ji said seriously, “Mr. Zhuge! Also, if you continue to look around, I’ll dig out your eyes!”

Xiao Duye came back to his senses and retracted his gaze from her clothes.

Mei Ji jumped out of the carriage and said to the Old Marquis and the others with a smile, “Marquis Su, Prince Su, General Wei, and Madam Wei, my Master invites you.. The Emperor of the Great Zhou said that my Master’s carriage can directly enter the Qilin Hall! You don’t have to take a step!”
