Chapter 490: Father and Son Reunited

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Because the Dali Temple did not have enough evidence, they could not arrest Wei Ting. Wei Ting openly recuperated in the Number One Hall.

On the other side, Wei Xiyue, who had accompanied her little packrat to class, had also finished her first day of study. After feeding Xiaohu, she also had dinner.

She had never been so obedient in the Wei family.

She was not a child who ate well, unlike Ling Yun who could not eat. She simply did not like to eat and went around fiddling with things. A meal would take two hours to complete.

However, the problem came right on the heels of that.

She insisted on taking Xiaohu away.

“Can we come back tomorrow?” Madam Li coaxed softly.

“No, no, no! Ah—” She stomped her feet angrily.

Xiaohu was dumbfounded.

“Sister Xiyue, why are you shouting? Does your voice hurt?” Wei Xiyue stopped shouting and looked at him curiously.

Xiaohu imitated her. “Ah—” It wasn’t too loud.

Xiaohu cried out again, “Ah

The voice took a few turns, like the sound of morning practice. Xiaohu looked up at her and said seriously, “Sister Xiyue, I don’t think it’s fun.” Wei Xiyue thought for a moment and stopped calling out.

Madam Li repeatedly promised Wei Xiyue to send her over first thing the next morning.

Wei Xiyue finally let go of Xiaohu.

She fed Xiaohu, Erhu, and Dahu three small pine nuts, patted their heads, and got into the carriage to return.

Dahu and Erhu were not jealous that Xiaohu had been carried and fed by Wei Xiyue.

They preferred freedom.

Moreover, Wei Xiyue would also feed them, but she did not always hug them.

Xiaohu was a lazy baby, but the two of them were not.

In the next few days, Wei Ting’s assassination caused an uproar in the capital. It even overshadowed the limelight of Emperor Taizu’s statue.

“Have you heard? Lord Wei was killed!”

“Hey, hey, hey, that scholar at the next table, pay attention to your words. He didn’t die! He’s being treated in the Number One Hall!” “Why did I hear that Young Master Guo did it?”

“Which Young Master Guo?”

“Prime Minister Guo’s eldest grandson! He was possessed and suddenly drew his knife at Lord Wei in the carriage! ”

“Isn’t Lord Wei his cousin? Why is he waving his saber at his cousin?” “Otherwise, why else would they say that he was possessed?”

“You don’t know this, right? He wasn’t possessed. He was drugged! Someone wants to use someone else to provoke the hatred of the Wei and Guo families!”

“Who’s so vicious?”

“Of course, it’s the White Lotus Society!”

At a square table in the corner of the lobby, a young man clenched his fists and was about to stand up to stop him. “Damn it!” “Sit down!”

A man in black wearing a bamboo hat stopped him.

The young man gritted his teeth. “They’re too much! When did we do those things? How ridiculous!”

The man in black said, “Can’t you tell? This is a scheme of the Imperial Court.”

The young man said angrily, “The despicable Imperial Court! The small stronghold in Qing City and Guardian He’s stronghold have been destroyed. Now that the pleasure boat and the Full Moon Pavilion have been targeted by the officials of the Imperial Court, the scope of the White Lotus Society’s activities is further restricted. If this continues, our White Lotus Society’s power in the capital will probably be uprooted!”

The man in black said calmly, “Not to the extent of uprooting it. The White

The young man muttered, “How can we contact him? Ever since he came out of the Dali Temple, he has been seriously ill and is still bedridden…”

The man in black said confidently, “There will be a way.”

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of April.

On a dark night, Su Xiaoxiao welcomed the monthly reward from the pharmacy.

“Don’t let it be anything strange this time. I still don’t understand what the little black egg from last time is for.”

The table in the lounge was filled with a dazzling array of medicine bottles.

Multiple vitamins, collagen peptide… these were for her.

The bone-strengthening pellets were Qin Canglan’s.

The digestive enzymes were Ling Yun’s.

There was also milk powder for the three little ones.

Wait a minute, she could take the milk powder herself since last month. What was going on with placing it on the table as a reward? To make up the numbers?

Finally, there was a bag of bird food.

Su Xiaoxiao questioned, “That’s it? That’s it?”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the quiet pharmacy. “I think you’ve been a little passive this month.”

Fortunately, she still had time to get her medicine freely. She first went to the Chinese medicine pharmacy to get some herbs that were inconvenient or difficult to buy outside. Then, she went to the Western medicine pharmacy and stocked up on first aid kits.

What was worth mentioning was that in the past, she could only stay for two minutes at most before being kicked out of the pharmacy. Tonight, she took a full ten minutes.

It seemed that this was the reward this time was the time it took to collect the medicine.

It had been a while since she weighed herself. After coming out of the pharmacy, she went to the woodshed to weigh herself. She was less than 130 pounds.

Actually, with her height, this weight was not too fat. At most, she was slightly fat.

However, in the capital, where thinness was regarded as beautiful, she was still the little fatty in everyone’s eyes.

After more than half a month of recuperation, the Empress Dowager no longer needed Su Xiaoxiao to take her pulse every day. She only needed to go once every three days.

Coincidentally, she did not have to go today.

Su Xiaoxiao went straight to the Palace Academy.

Ever since Teacher Jiang was slapped in the face by Su Xiaoxiao, he had gone home to reflect. Now, the person teaching them was a teacher with the surname Yang.

Mister Yang was already old. Other than being a little old-fashioned, there was nothing to be picky about.

Mr. Yang entered the classroom with two books. “Class begins.”

Su Xiaoxiao looked to her left.

Strangely, neither of the princesses came today.

Lu Ying, who was sitting behind her, probably saw her confusion. She poked her back and whispered, “His Second Highness is back. The two princesses must have gone to see him. They’ll only come over later.” “Miss Lu,” Mister Yang said sternly. “I’m old, but I’m not deaf or blind.”

Lu Ying apologized honestly. “Teacher, I was wrong.”

It was probably because his Eldest continued to disappoint him that he paid more attention to his second son.

He held the Second Prince’s shoulder and sized him up. He could not hide his smile and said, “You’re tanned and strong! Looks like the sandstorm in the northwest has indeed trained you a lot!”

Xiao Shunyang was also very excited to reunite with his father.

However, he did not immediately show filial piety to Emperor Jing Xuan.

Instead, he took a step back and knelt on one knee. “Father, please punish me!”

Emperor Jing Xuan was stunned. “What did you do to have to apologize to me?”

Xiao Shunyang took out a booklet and handed it over with both hands. “The northwest is far away. I acted first without reporting. Father, please punish me!”

A trace of dragon might flashed between Emperor Jing Xuan’s eyebrows.

Eunuch Fu stepped forward, took the booklet, and presented it to Emperor Jing Xuan, who was inches away from Xiao Shunyang.

Emperor Jing Xuan would not have known if he had not seen it. When he saw it, he was shocked by his son..
