Chapter 463: Mother and Son

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the evening, it started to rain in the capital.

Wei Ting did not hold an umbrella when he went out. His clothes were drenched by the spring rain. He was carrying a small basket in his arms that was covered tightly by his wide sleeves.

‘Young Master, you’re back?”

The servant guarding the door was about to bow when Wei Ting hurriedly walked over.

The servant was at a loss, but he thought of something and came to a realization.

Wei Ting went to the west courtyard of the mansion in the rain.

The rain gradually became heavier, and the sky turned completely dark. Wei Ting carefully protected the flowers in his arms and knocked on the courtyard door.

It was Ping’er who opened the door.

Ping’er was wearing a raincoat and could barely open her eyes from the heavy rain. “Young Master, why are you here?”

“I picked some flowers and plants for Mother,” Wei Ting said. “Is Mother around?”

Ping’er looked at the flowers and said to Wei Ting, “Madam has rested. Young Master, give it to me.”

“So early…”

Wei Ting muttered.

A hint of disappointment subconsciously flashed across his eyes. Because this time, it was no different from previous years.

‘Young Master?” Ping’er looked at him.

Wei Ting slowly handed over the basket of flowers. “I’ll wait outside for a while. Call me if Mother wakes up.”

Ping’er wanted to say something but hesitated. She accepted the flowers and closed the courtyard door.

The rain began to fall harder, clanging against the eaves and the ground, sending up three feet of water.

Ping’er carried the flowers and plants that were wet from the rain into the room and said guiltily, “When Young Master sent them over, not a drop of rain was on them. I carried them over for a short while… They were all wet…” Madam Wei sat in the house and focused on trimming the branches.

“Madam…” Ping’er gently placed the basket on the table. “Young Master said that he’s waiting outside. If you’re ‘awake% I can call him in.”

Madam Wei did not say anything and cut a leaf.

Ping’er continued, “Madam, the rain is so heavy. Young Master will be drenched. Let Young Master in.”

Madam Wei said calmly, “Don’t worry about him. It’s up to him how long he wants to be drenched.”

Ping’er bit her lip. “Then… I’ll send an umbrella to Young Master…”

Madam Wei slapped the scissors on the table. “I said to ignore him!” The heavy rain drenched Wei Ting’s body.

He stared miserably at the closed courtyard door, like an abandoned child.

He heard her words and they stabbed into his heart like a sharp knife.

Old Madam Wei was planning to rest in her courtyard.

When one was old, one had no choice but to admit defeat. It was fine if they did not sleep for most of the night when they were young. Now that it was dark, they were sleepy.

“Okay, I understand.”

At the door, Nanny Li sent away a servant and turned to Matriarch Wei’s bed.

“Matriarch, Young Master went to Madam.”

Old Madam Wei sighed with a complicated expression.

Nanny Li looked out of the window. “It’s raining so heavily…’

Old Madam Wei said, “Call him back!”

“Yes,” Nanny Li agreed.

Just as she turned around, Old Madam Wei said again, “Forget it, you can’t get him back. Let him stand. He’ll leave after his heart is poured out.”

Nanny Li sighed.

At Pear Blossom Lane, Su Xiaoxiao was baking herbs that were wet from the rain in the woodshed. Fortunately, they were only a little wet. When they dried, it did not affect the medicinal effect.

“Mother!”

“Mother!”

“Mother!”

The three children clattered home in their raincoats.

The three of them looked around before finding Su Xiaoxiao in the woodshed.

“Mother!”

The three of them couldn’t wait to show Su Xiaoxiao their raincoats and bamboo hats.

“Does it look good?” Erhu asked.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the three cute little dumplings and burst out laughing. “They look good. Who bought them?”

“Teacher!” Xiao Hu said.

What happened was that it was raining. Ling Yun asked Deng An to send them back with an umbrella. When they saw Deng An wearing the raincoat, they expressed that they did not want to use an umbrella and wanted to wear the raincoat themselves.

However, how could there be a two-year-old child’s raincoat at home? He could only let Deng An buy them.

Deng An really bought them.

Dahu bounced around like an energetic Tigger.

Xiaohu imitated him and fell. “So heavy!”

Then, Xiaohu could not get up.

Su Xiaoxiao went to cook.

The three of them first ate a few pieces of date cake to fill their stomachs before running out to show off their little raincoats.

When Su Cheng returned home, the three of them had already finished showing off and were stepping on the waterhole in the courtyard.

Seeing the three dirty mud dolls, Su Cheng broke down on the spot.

Su Ergou did not return to Pear Blossom Lane today. He went to the Marquis of Zhenbei’s Estate.

He was there to return Su Li’s things.

“When Fifth Cousin left just now, he left this behind.” Su Ergou handed a small jade pendant to Madam Tao.

Madam Tao pulled Su Ergou to sit down and looked at the jade pendant in her hand. It was indeed Fifth Brother’s.

Madam Tao smiled and said, “So that kid went to look for you. Then I’m relieved. He hasn’t been seen for the entire day. I was afraid that he would go out and cause trouble for me again!”

“How can that be? Fifth Cousin is a good person.”

This was the first time Madam Tao had heard someone praise her son. She could not help but be surprised. “Does Ergou like Fifth Cousin?

“I like him!” Su Ergou nodded. “Fifth Cousin bought me food and even brought me out to play to earn money.”

When she heard the first part, Madam Tao still felt that it was normal. What was with the last part, “Earn money”?

“Earn, earn what money?” Madam Tao asked in a daze.

“Oh, this.” Su Ergou took out a large handful of silver and a stack of crumpled banknotes from his pocket. “It’s much more profitable than selling snacks. If I had known that this was so profitable, I wouldn’t have worked so hard in the countryside.”

Madam Tao vaguely felt that something was wrong and asked Su Ergou how he earned it.

Su Ergou said, “Push nine.”

Madam Tao was speechless!

Su Li was extremely unlucky today. He had suffered at the little girl’s hands and originally wanted to get back at Su Ergou.

His cage was already prepared, and he was just waiting for Su Ergou to crawl in.

UnexDectedlv. Su Ergou cot luckv and touched touched heavenlv cards everv

time he was dealt a hand!

It was not easy for them to obtain a heavenly card, but Su Ergou obtained a supreme treasure!

Su Li and a group of scoundrels lost terribly.

He wanted to kill Su Ergou, but in the end, he was slaughtered by Su Ergou. Now, he had already lost the trust of his buddies. They all said that he had deliberately found his cousin to challenge him. They would cut ties with him in the future.

Su Li felt so wronged!

However, everything was not over.

When he returned to the residence in the heavy rain, he was greeted by a beating from Madam Tao.

Oh, he was so miserable, really…

After dinner was ready, Su Xiaoxiao looked out the door. “Eh? Why isn’t he back?”

Yuchi Xiu walked over and stretched out his claws to grab the meat on the plate. “You mean Lord? He won’t be back tonight.”

Su Xiaoxiao slapped his hand away with her chopsticks. “What’s wrong? Has he returned to the Wei family to stay?”

Yuchi Xiu touched the back of his hand that had been slapped red and glared at someone. “Yes, he went home, but it’s not what you think.”

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned. “Huh?”

Yuchi Xiu said, “He went to see Madam Wei, but Madam Wei probably won’t see him.”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the pouring rain and hesitated for a moment. Suddenly, she reached out and grabbed Yuchi Xiu’s collar.

Yuchi Xiu bared his fangs and brandished his claws. “Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing? You woman who shot my butt! You’re not allowed to touch me again!”

“I’m warning you—” “Once—I’

“Twice—I’

“I’ll shout three. If you pull me again, I won’t be polite to you—”

“Three—ah—”
