Chapter 674: Brother Ting Knows the Truth

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Zhao Kangning looked at Su Xiaoxiao on the flower-picking roof in disbelief. “Impossible… You can’t solve it… You can’t solve it!”

The first two sentences were muttered to herself, and the last sentence was roared. It could be seen how much this matter had dealt her a blow.

She was an all-rounder and was proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She was good at literature and martial arts, but what she was most proud of was her intelligence. There was no woman in the world who was more outstanding than her.

How could a girl from the countryside give an answer to a question that she could not solve so easily?

She did not believe that Qin Su was smarter than her, nor did she believe that Qin Su was smarter than the scholar of Northern Yan.

The young Princess of the Western Jin took the answer from the guard who rang the gong. “It’s Thirteen! Qin Su didn’t answer wrongly! Qin Su, you’re too powerful!”

Princess Hui An was proud. “As expected of my sidekick!”

A trace of relief flashed across Princess Jingning’s eyes. Li Hui and the others were overjoyed.

“I knew Qin Su would win!” Lu Ying said with a smile. Lu Hui rolled her eyes at her sister. “I wonder who was so nervous just now.”

Lu Ying muttered, “What’s wrong with being nervous?”

The two of them were not from the same mother. Their relationship in the past was actually very shallow. It was only after coming to the palace school that they gradually became close.

“You cheated! ” Zhao Kangning said coldly:

Princess Hui An pointed at her nose and said, “Hey! Why are you like Guo Lingxi! If you can’t win, you would just say that she cheated! Are all of you such sore losers?”

Lu Ying said, “That’s right. The last person who questioned Qin Su was slapped until her face was swollen!”

“Ahem!” The eldest sister, Lu Hui, cleared her throat heavily and glared at her sister. “You’re not a princess. Shut up. I don’t want my house to be confiscated.”

Zhao Kangning gritted his teeth and said, “That question… It’s impossible for her to solve it!”

Su Xiaoxiao looked down at her. “You didn’t read my question. How do you know that I can’t solve them? Or… did you read it in advance? Aiya, I think I discovered something incredible!”

Everyone looked at Zhao Kangning.

Zhao Kangning’s face turned green and red. Of course, she couldn’t admit that she had tampered with the question. “What are you doing?”

The Princess of the Western Jin came over.

She had just entered the palace and finalized the plan for the trade between the two countries with Emperor Jing Xuan. When she returned to the posthouse, she heard the commotion.

She looked at the flower picking building that was more than 30 feet tall and Su Xiaoxiao, who was standing on the roof, and knew what was up.

“Mother! Qin Su and Princess Kangning were competing to pluck flowers. Qin Su won! But Princess Kangning wants to go back on her word! She said that Qin Su cheated! Is there anything difficult about this question? Why can Qin Su only solve it through cheating?”

“Show me,” the Princess of the Western Jin said.

The young Princess of the Western Jin handed the note in her hand to the Princess of the Western Jin. The question was on the front, and the answer was on the back.

After reading it, a trace of surprise flashed across the eyes of the Princess of the Western Jin. She looked up at Su Xiaoxiao, who was shining under the hot sun. “Have you done this question before?”

“No,” Su Xiaoxiao said.

The Princess of the Western Jin was much higher. She didn’t ask directly if it was her who did it. Instead, she changed her words. Not only did she obtain the answer that Su Xiaoxiao didn’t cheat, but she also understood Su Xiaoxiao’s talent in arithmetic.

She sighed and muttered, “I suddenly want to be your stepmother…”

“Mother, what did you say?” Her voice was too soft for the young Princess of Western Jin to hear.

The Princess of the Western Jin Kingdom folded the note and returned it to her daughter. “It’s nothing. Since you’ve won, come down quickly.”

This was announcing Su Xiaoxiao’s victory. It was useless for Zhao Kangning to go back on her word.

Su Xiaoxiao followed the vertical rod down.

At this moment, something unexpected happened.

Zhao Kangning had used her internal strength to shake the flower picking building. It was not obvious just now, but when it endured the pressure for the second time, a few vertical poles snapped with a bang and Su Xiaoxiao fell without warning.

Zhao Kangning had fallen halfway. She had fallen from the roof and was in greater danger than Zhao Kangning. Moreover, she did not know qinggong. If she did not die, she would be crippled.

The young Princess of Western Jin called out, “Qin Su!”

The Princess of the Western Jin Kingdom suddenly flew up to pick up Su Xiaoxiao. However, she was too far away. When she flashed past, she only had time to grab a sleeve.

Su Xiaoxiao was cushioned for a moment. Her sleeve tore and she fell again. “Little sidekick…” Princess Hui An exclaimed.

No one expected such a thing to happen, and the guards did not have time to react.

Just as she was about to fall to her death, her survival instinct was suddenly triggered. Su Xiaoxiao flipped in the air, and a light force filled her limbs and bones. By the time she reacted, she had already landed steadily on the ground.

“Little sidekick!”

Princess Hui An ran towards her. “Are you alright?”

“I’m… fine.” Su Xiaoxiao looked down at her feet. Had she… used her qinggong just now?

In front of so many people, especially the Princess of the Western Jin, Zhao Kangning could not go back on her word. She handed over all her assets in humiliation and pain.

With that, Su Xiaoxiao took another small step forward on the path to becoming the richest person in the world.

She cupped her hands at Zhao Kangning piously. “Thank you, Princess Kangning, for contributing to my path as the richest person. The princess is blessed. The princess will live a long life! Remember to write a letter when you go back, keep in touch, and come and interact often!”

“Who wants to interact with you often?”

Zhao Kangning was furious.

After earning a small sum of money and practicing a small movement technique, Su Xiaoxiao was very satisfied with her huge gains today.

The injured Zhao Kangning was helped away by the maidservant.

Looking at her limping back, Princess Hui An sighed. “Little sidekick, I think she’s a little pitiful. She lost so badly that she’s only left with her underpants. She’s so poor. Do you want to compensate her a little?”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “How?”

Princess Hui An’s eyes darted around as she pointed at her fingers and said smartly, “Something unimportant… like Brother Ting?” Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.

Su Xiaoxiao returned to the residence in high spirits.

Wei Ting had long returned from the court and was sitting in the room waiting for her. Su MO was also there.

“Husband! Cousin!” She greeted the two of them happily.

Her satisfied look made Wei Ting take a few more suspicious glances.

One had to know that she was not so satisfied after they did that.

Wei Ting asked, “Where did you go?”

Su Xiaoxiao said without changing her expression, “Nothing much. I just… went out for a while and said goodbye to the young Princess of Western Jin and Zhao

Kangning. ”

Wei Ting was even more puzzled. “When did you become so close to the Princess of Northern Yan?”

Su Xiaoxiao sat down between her and Su MO and picked up her teacup to take a sip. “Isn’t it unfamiliar to call her Princess Northern Yan? She has a name and a title. She’s Kancninc. I announce that from now on. Princess Kancninc is

under my protection. Whoever dares to bully her will cut off my wealth… Ahem, make things difficult for me!”

Wei Ting asked, “Did you make another bet?”

Su MO said, “What did you bet on this time?”

Wei Ting… She couldn’t say this. Su Xiaoxiao smiled and changed the topic. “Cousin, why are you here today?”

Wei Ting said to Su MO, “That’s right. You’ve been coming a little too often recently.”

Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly said, ‘Cousin, that’s not what I meant…”

“I know.” Su MO looked at his sister gently and said solemnly to Wei Ting, “I’m afraid you’ll be poisoned again.”

Wei Ting said calmly, “What business is it of yours?”

Su MO said, “It’s too hard for Sister to remove the Gu for you. I’ll do it next time.”

Wei Ting was speechless.

And so was Su Xiaoxiao.

Wei Ting raised his spear and attacked!

It was a literal spear.

Su MO looked at the red tassel spear that was suddenly charging at him and thought to himself that this person was probably seriously ill!

He got up to avoid it.

“Why did you poke me with a spear?” “Pfft—” Su Xiaoxiao spat again..
