Xiaosheng is not a nerd

Chapter 1795 Returning to Mother’s Home

Xie Fu said with a smile: "Sister Qianqian, please move a little further inside. I'm almost being squeezed off the bed."

Su Qianqian was stunned. It was broad daylight, what did this mean?

Lu Yehua kicked Xie Fu off the bed: "You know you're squeezed but you still refuse to leave."

Seeing Xie Fu fall off the bed in a mess, Su Qianqian couldn't help but chuckle.

Xie Fu stood up and patted the alcohol off his body: "I'll go cook, and I'll ask Xiao Yu'er to prepare hot water for you to take a bath."

When Xie Fu opened the door and walked out, he saw Xiao Yuer waiting outside the door. The door was open last night, but closed this morning. It was obvious that Xiao Yuer had been here and closed the door considerately.

Xiao Yuer asked softly, "Foster father, do I have to call Miss Su San aunt too?"

Xie Fu was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted: "What are you talking about? Sister Qianqian is my sworn sister."

Xiao Yuer said "oh", but she didn't take the words "sworn brotherhood" to heart: "Then I'd better call Miss Su San for convenience."

Xie Fu smiled bitterly and tapped Xiao Yu'er on the head: "What are you thinking about? Sister Qianqian and I are not in the relationship you think."

"Then I saw the three of you sleeping in the same bed this morning."

Xie Fu smiled calmly: "Who said that siblings can't sleep in the same bed? We have a good relationship."

Xiao Yuer smiled strangely: "Not really." She was also from a wealthy family and knew that no matter how good the relationship was, there were still differences between men and women.

Xie Fu naturally understood these principles, but many things seemed strange when he tried to be deliberate.

If you have nothing to hide, everything will be natural. If you have something to hide, you cannot avoid it no matter how hard you try.

Not wanting to dwell on these unimportant matters, he asked, "How is your cooperation with Ma Wuren going?"

Xiao Yuer hummed.

"Um, what? Explain clearly."

"Ma Wuren said that he would keep his father and brother's funeral simple, which was not a glorious thing, and then he started to forge weapons and armor."

Xie Fu nodded: "Xiao Yu'er, it's not easy for you to find a good husband at your age. Although Ma Wuren is a member of the Ma family, I think there is nothing wrong with him."

Xiao Yuer lowered her head and nodded. After all, the Ma family and she had a grudge against each other for killing her father, so how could they possibly become relatives through marriage? She could not get over the hurdle in her heart.

Although Xie Fu saw it clearly, he was powerless. He couldn't even finish his own affairs, so how could he have the time to deal with other people's affairs? "No matter what, you can't mess up the cooperation by being petty."

Xiao Yuer nodded: "Don't worry, foster father, I know clearly what is important and what is not."

"Prepare hot water for your aunt and my sister Qianqian so they can take a bath."

Lu Yehua and Su Qianqian had become much more familiar with each other after last night. After Xie Fu left, the two girls smiled at each other.

Su Qianqian got out of bed to put on her shoes. Seeing that her belt was not tied properly, Lu Yehua helped her tie it. Su Qianqian groaned, as if she was not used to it. She said shyly, "Sister-in-law, thank you for your help."

Lu Yehua smiled faintly: "It's okay, my daughter also..."

Lu Yehua almost let the cat out of the bag, but he stopped himself. Su Qianqian asked in surprise, "Sister-in-law, do you have a child?"

Lu Yehua gave a perfunctory "hmm", and Su Qianqian continued to ask, "Is it your child with Brother Fu?"

Lu Yehua didn't respond, Su Qianqian smiled and said, "Ever since I heard that Brother Fu moved to Lingnan, the mountains are high and the roads are long, I haven't contacted Brother Fu for many years, I don't even know how many sons and daughters he has now."

Lu Yehua was afraid that Su Qianqian would ask more questions, so he shook his head and replied, "No!"

Su Qianqian exclaimed, "Then..." Seeing that Lu Yehua had a strange expression, as if he had something to hide, she stopped asking.

Lu Yehua changed the subject: "Madam Li, how old are your children?"

"I don't have any children yet."

Lu Yehua was puzzled, Su Qianqian blushed: "My husband...my husband...is born with a disease and cannot have children."

Just from this sentence, Lu Yehua felt that this girl was naive and ignorant of worldly affairs. How could she easily tell outsiders about such secret family affairs?

Su Qianqian put on her shoes and looked around. Lu Yehua, who was also a woman, immediately understood and pointed to a curtain nearby.

Su Qianqian just walked in, and quickly lifted a corner of the curtain and showed her head: "Sister-in-law, you can't laugh at me."

Lu Yehua responded: "I am the same, why are you laughing?"

Free and unrestrained, far from the hustle and bustle, the clear stream flows around the door. The sound of water echoes on the rocks, and the shadow of vines reaches the pavilion in the woods. The quiet ground retains the sleeping deer, and the empty courtyard is empty for monkeys to drink. Spring flowers are lining the banks, so why bother asking about the Peach Blossom Spring?

……

After Su Qianqian settled down in the Lin family's old house, she sent two followers to the Su family to ask questions. These two people followed Su Qianqian when she married into the Li family, so they were very familiar with the environment and people of the Su family.

One was named Yang Xie and the other was named E Gao. Just like the oil cake and stuffed lotus root that were given to Tan Tai He Qing's two personal guards, they were given food names. As for their original names, no one knew them anymore.

Yang Xie and E Gao went out early and had not returned at night. Su Qianqian waited all night worriedly. In fact, she knew the tempers of her father and elder brother. She was a married daughter, and her family members had said such harsh words to her. She didn't want to come back and bring bad luck to her.

But her good brother wanted to ask for help, and if she couldn't get in the Su family, she naturally couldn't help her good brother, so she had to be shameless now.

It was not until the next day that Yang Xie and E Gao came back to report. Su Qianqian knew that things had gone wrong when she saw that they were bruised and swollen, so she asked, "How did it go?"

The two of them bowed their heads in silence. After a while, Yang Xie finally said in a low voice: "Master said that he had severed ties with you a long time ago. If you go back, I will break your legs."

Su Qianqian's face turned pale and her eyes red when she heard this. She didn't expect her elder brother to be so heartless. She said softly, "What about my father?"

Goose Cake replied: "We two haven't seen the master, but after asking around, it seems that the master is ill in bed."

Su Qianqian screamed and stood up in shock.

Goose Cake said hurriedly: "Miss, don't be nervous, this matter is secretive, I can't be sure whether it is true or not?"

"how do I say this?"

Goose Cake replied, "Logically speaking, the master is ill in bed. Such a big thing should be known to everyone in the Su family, but strangely, most people don't know. I just learned from someone I know that the master might be ill in bed, but even he can't be sure, it's just a vague guess."

Su Qianqian asked: "E Gao, who did you ask?"

E Gao sighed as if he had something to hide, and Su Qianqian asked, "Your old lover A Lian?"

E Gao immediately knelt down: "Miss, please forgive me!"

"It's already this hour, I don't have time to care who you hook up with."

Su Qianqian pondered over what she said. A'lian was walking around in the inner house, very close to where her father lived, so she could hear some rumors more or less. It was very likely that her father was bedridden.

It's such a big thing, why should we hide it?
She rarely dealt with such things, and as soon as she thought of this, her brain was overwhelmed.

Yang Xie said: "Miss, the atmosphere in the Su family is very strange, as if something big is about to happen?"

Su Qianqian said: "My father being bedridden is not a big deal."

Then he stood up and said, "Come on, you two follow me back. I want to see how my father is doing."

Su Qianqian originally had some patience, but when she heard that her father was bedridden, she became extremely anxious and could not wait any longer.

The two of them looked strange when they heard this and stood there motionless. Su Qianqian asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Yang Xie advised: "Miss, I'll take a long-term view, okay?" "I'll go back to visit the patient, I'll take a long-term view on what you want."

Goose Cake continued: "Miss, just by looking at us like this, you can tell that the Su family's gate is not that easy to enter."

Su Qianqian then asked, "Who caused the injuries on you two?"

"It's Miss Envy."

Su Qianqian was puzzled: "Envy?"

The two nodded.

Su Qianqian asked: "Doesn't Xianren know that you two are mine?"

Seeing the two people hesitating, Su Qianqian said coldly: "Speak!"

"Miss Xianren said that the one being beaten is your servant."

Su Qianqian's face darkened: "Let's go! I don't believe Xianren dares to hit an aunt like me!"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

He got on the carriage and went to the Su family accompanied by two followers.

Although the Su family is located in the center of Jiancheng, its vast area makes it seem like an independent city.

Taking advantage of Jiancheng's special terrain, a magnificent castle was built with the majestic mountain behind it, a deep abyss as steep as a wall on the left, and a surging river on the right.

The only way to enter the Su family is from the east, but there are many gates and watchtowers and bunkers in dangerous places.

It is said that hundreds of years ago, the Su family settled in Jiancheng and spent nearly a hundred years to build such a place to facilitate defense against foreign enemies.

Therefore, the entire Su family is not like a gateway, but more like a city gate. In this city within a country, this city within a city is impregnable.

Soon they arrived at the gate of the Su family. What caught their eyes was a city tower. In front of the tower was a gate that was ten feet wide and nearly two feet high. Cars and horses were coming in and out of the gate like a city gate. Above the gate were the three words "Fufeng Tower".

Wugong and Fufeng are both Su family hall names, one originated from the Warring States Period and the other from the Han Dynasty.

On both sides of the gate are three-meter-high city walls, one end of which extends to the cliffs and the other end to the surging river. It is like the wall of a wealthy family, but much more magnificent.

The carriage that Su Qianqian was riding in stopped at the city gate. Two men at the city gate, wearing Su family's exclusive uniforms, cast their eyes on the carriage like lightning, because they had already seen the lamb ribs and goose cakes.

The two men looked at each other, and one of them immediately understood and left in a hurry.

Yang Xie said, "Miss, we have arrived at Fufeng Tower."

Su Qianqian untied the curtain and looked up at the tall city gate and the city wall. Her eyes were filled with longing. It had been more than four years. When she left, she thought she would never come back, but she finally came back. She still remembered the scene when she was a child, riding a horse and going out hunting with her father. The whole family was very happy. The eldest brother, the second brother...

She also didn't know why family affection faded as she grew up.

He lowered the car curtain and said calmly, "Go in."

Carriages and horses were flowing in and out of the gate. The carriage Su Qianqian was riding in didn't look too special. Just as she was about to pass by, she was stopped by the man guarding the gate: "Wait!"

Yang Xie said coldly: "You don't even recognize me?"

Yang Xie and E Gao were able to become Su Qianqian's guards, so they naturally had a certain status in the Su family. Even though they had left the Su family for many years, some of their status still remained.

The man smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, of course I know you. Didn't you come here yesterday?"

"Since you know me, why are you trying to stop me?"

The man pointed at the carriages and horses passing by and said, "Master Yang, all carriages and horses entering and leaving this gate must put up the Su family's flag to indicate that they are allowed to pass. Master Yang, your carriage does not have a flag, so I stopped you."

Yang Xie said coldly: "I am originally a member of the Su family, why should I do this?"

The man smiled like an experienced person and said, "Master Yang, I don't know whether you are still a member of the Su family, but these rules were set by the master, and I am also following orders and abiding by the rules. Please don't make it difficult for me, Master Yang."

Yang Xie said angrily: "You...what do you want? Believe it or not, I will kill you right now."

The man immediately said humbly, "Master Yang, you can go in, but you must also put up the flag according to the rules."

Yang Xie said unhappily: "I don't have the time to do these things now."

Goose Cake, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke up: "This is not difficult."

As he spoke, he casually took the escort flag from a passing carriage, stuck it on his own carriage, and said coldly: "Now you can finally go in."

This is clearly open cheating. It depends on whether the man guarding the door knows what's best for him.

The man said in a deep voice: "Master Goose, you are going to make things difficult for me!" One hand had already gently moved to the handle of the knife, ready to take action at any time.

"court death!"

The mutton scorpion knife was half drawn out of its sheath, but was held down by E Gao. A small gatekeeper dared to make things difficult for the two of them. He must have been signaled from behind, so he was fearless.

It would only take one knife to kill the gatekeeper. If someone gave him a chance to talk nonsense and they fell out, it would be even more difficult for the young lady to enter this gate.

The man guarding the gate had cold sweat silently oozing from his forehead, knowing that his life or death was just a matter of seconds. He glanced at the curtain, knowing that he could not stop the carriage with his status. All he could do was to delay time as much as possible so that both sides would have an explanation. This was the fate of a servant, to survive in the cracks.

At this time, the curtain of the car was opened, and Su Qianqian asked coldly, "Do you know me?"

The gatekeeper heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the curtain finally opened, pretending to be surprised: "Miss!"

Su Qianqian asked: "Can I enter this door?"

"Of course!"

The gatekeeper immediately stepped aside, bowed and said, "Miss, please come in." Now that the lady showed up, no one could blame him.

Yang Xie snorted coldly: "If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished by drinking!"

He led the carriage into the city gate with a proud look on his face. It was extremely lively, just like entering a market, with wide roads in all four directions.

The Su family specializes in making weapons and armor, but the Su family alone has a limited number of people and cannot produce a huge number of weapons and armor. Therefore, the people in the city, large and small iron shops, cloth businesses, and tailors almost all rely on the Su family for survival.

What these carriages carried were the finished products, finished products and raw materials of weapons and armor. Even if they were finished products from the market, as long as they were delivered to the Su family and marked with the Su family's mark, the price would increase several times.

Most of the carriages and horses are moving in the left and right directions, but it is a place where various items and materials are collected and purchased.

Before the two asked, Su Qianqian in the car said, "Go directly to the inner house."

The inner house was the magnificent castle with its back against the majestic mountain. The two men led their horses straight west and soon arrived at a gate tower with the words "Wugong Tower" written on top of it.

There were fewer carriages and people at this time, but everyone entering and leaving wore the Su family's exclusive clothing, just like the people in the inner court of the imperial palace, who could only enter and leave after wearing special uniforms.

Entering this martial arts building is considered to be truly entering the Su family.

Before the carriage approached, a man guarding the gate moved to block the center of the door. He was also wearing the Su family's exclusive clothing, but the sword embroidered on his chest was dark green, which was very conspicuous.

Yang Xie and Goose Cake looked at each other and whispered, "It's Haiti."

Haidi is the bodyguard of Master Su Xiutong and has always been by Su Xiutong's side. With Haidi's status in the Su family, he naturally doesn't need to come to guard the door. He appears at the door of the martial arts building at this time, obviously having received the news in advance.

As the carriage approached, Yang Xie called out its name: "Haiti."

Haiti greeted them with a smile: "Yang Xie, E Gao, why are you two here again? Didn't you learn your lesson yesterday?" As he said this, he glanced at the car curtain.
