Chapter 168
The carriage slowly arrived at the gate of the prefect's mansion. Before the carriage stopped, an earnest call sounded from outside the carriage.

"Qing'er is here? Come on, let Erniang see if she's getting fatter or thinner, and if she's grown taller?"

"What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and carry your luggage."

Frankly speaking, before hearing this voice, Su Qing was still a little timid, but after hearing this call, her suspended heart actually fell.

Although soul wear and inheritance of memory is the most perfect replacement, but I feel somewhat guilty in my heart, especially when facing close relatives.When I heard the hearty female voice, the emotions hidden deep in my heart rushed to my heart.

His father, Su Yuan'an, had four marriages, and his second mother was Su Qing's mother's dowry maid.The rest of the second wife were all married after Su Qing's mother passed away.

According to the family rules of the Su family, apart from the children of the Su family, only the wives of the children of the Su family can live in the old house of the Su family.No matter how many people married outside, there is only one person who can bring into the Su family's old house.

So Su Qing can even be said to be completely unfamiliar with these stepmothers, so naturally she can't talk about any feelings.But Er Niang is an exception.Because Su Qing's understanding of her mother was all from the few time she spent with this second mother.

In the heart of young Su Qing, her mother was a legend.He took over the family business at the age of fourteen, and resolved all the opposing forces in the family in just one year. In the next five years, he became one of the four gods of wealth in the Yu Kingdom, and the youngest of the four gods of wealth.

Bending down to get out of the carriage, bright sunlight fell on her body.

With a swipe, dozens of eyes fell on Su Qing.

"See Eldest Young Master—"

The servants all bowed down to salute.

Su Qing had a sunny smile on her face.

His eyes quickly swept across the crowd, and finally landed on Er Niang.

"Erniang, long time no see, how are you?"

"Good! Good! Qing'er has grown up and looks more and more like a young lady... Miss should be so happy to see that Qing'er is so great now." As she spoke, she picked up a corner of her handkerchief and secretly wiped her tears.

"The day I go home, don't be so sad." He said, looking back at Ximen Chuuxue and the others, "This is my friend. After meeting my father, he will go with me to take office in Lingxi Mansion."

"Okay, okay! Long Bing, set up a bedroom for Qing'er's three friends."

"Yes!"

The prefect's mansion is worthy of being the prefect's mansion, and the difference between it and the Qingle county government can be described as heaven and earth.

In addition to being a government office, the Qingle County Yamen is also the residence of the county magistrate, with an office in the front yard and a private residence in the back yard. Although the prefect's mansion uses the same name, it is located in two places.

The office is elsewhere, and the residence is the residence.

Not to mention that Xiaoya and Qiaodie have never been to Father's Prefect's Mansion, this is also the first time for Su Qing to visit.After settling everyone down, Su Qing was called to the yard by Er Niang.

There are four children standing in the yard from high to low, the oldest is ten years old, and the youngest is only four or five years old.One boy, three girls.

"Qing'er, this is your third brother, Su Yang, who is eleven years old this year."

"Hello, big brother!"

Su Qing smiled and nodded.

"This is your fourth sister, Su Xi, fifth sister, Su Yan, Yao Mei, Su Yin"

Su Qing looked at the four little bean dings in front of her. They were indeed of the blood of the old Su family. Although they were still young, they had already begun to have the potential to be beautiful.Especially Su Xi, who is only seven or eight years old, but with a pair of beautiful eyes, she seems to be able to speak.

The four younger brothers and sisters stared at Su Qing with wide eyes, curious and fearful.

In this era, the concept of elder brother as father is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.Everyone around them was instilling this idea subtly, so that although they saw Su Qing for the first time, they instinctively feared Su Qing.

"Xiaoya, bring that box in."

Xiaoya carried a box, came to Su Qing's side and put it on the ground.

Su Qing gently opened it, and in an instant, colorful lights overflowed from the box.In an instant, let alone the eyes of the four children, even the eyes of San Niang and Si Niang were also straight.

"This is a gift from Big Brother to you, take it yourself, take whatever you like."

"Ow—"

There was a burst of cheers, and the three younger sisters rushed towards the box, but Su Yang, who had the demeanor of an older brother, bowed to Su Qing.

"Brother Xie." Then he smiled and watched the three younger sisters scrambling happily.

"What about you? Why don't you pick?"

"I'll wait until they finish picking."

Su Qing looked back at the three aunts, "Three aunts, the gifts for you have been delivered to your rooms by someone."

"So do we."

"Brother Qing has a heart." The three aunts immediately smiled like flowers.

"Where's Su Xiao?" Su Qing asked suddenly.

The smile on Erniang's face was a little stiff, "He should have gone out to find friends to play with. I told him before going out that you should go home today and let him come back early, but in the end, he forgot the time."

"It doesn't matter. I'm not an important guest. A family, don't be so polite."

While talking, the three younger sisters had already divided up all their favorite toys and gifts, leaving only a few books, a wooden sword, and some not-so-beautiful gadgets.

Su Yang stepped forward, picked up the books and the wooden sword in the box, and bowed to Su Qing again.

"Thank you, brother. Brother, I heard that you are listed in the world's commentary as a first-class romantic?"

"It's a quack talk, it has no credibility, so don't take it to heart."

"Brother, you are too modest. All the commentaries collected by the world are all people who have reached the pinnacle in various fields of my Dayu. Although they have not been recognized by the court, they have convinced the world.

All my good men are proud of being first-class romantic.Even in my Su family, there are only thirteen members of the younger generation who can be commented on by the world. Now that Sanfang has two people on the list, who dares to say that I have no successors? "

Su Qing raised her eyes to look at Su Yang, she is very ambitious at such a young age.

"Third brother, do you have aspirations?"

"Yes! Wen Neng lifts his pen to secure the world, and Wu Neng mounts his horse to determine the universe."

Good guy, dare to say it.After all, he is still a child, and the desire to save the world comes from his mouth.

"It's a good idea, with the style I had back then. Brother, I thought the same way when I was your age."

"Really? What did the elder brother do later? Can you give me some pointers?"

"Well, I was hit too hard later, and my dream died like this. The idea now is to live in this world and live up to my time."

"..."

"Big brother's aptitude is not good, he is not smart enough in writing, and his aptitude in martial arts is too poor. Compared with our cousins, he is far behind.

After several exams and competitions, I was deeply shocked, and finally gave up helplessly.However, I think the third brother has good aptitude, maybe he can compete with the clan brothers. "

"Brother and younger brother, although you have never been to the old house, you can't lie to me. You are ranked first-class romantic because you are both poetic and painterly, and son Wushuang. Isn't this level of literary talent not enough in the family?
Also, I heard from my father that you are already a master of martial arts in the innate realm.The eldest brother was only in the weaker years, and at this age in Luling Mansion, someone with such a state can be called a genius of heaven, just like the second brother. "

"That's because you're in Luling, not the Su family. Maybe that's why Dad doesn't want you to live in the old house, for fear that you won't be able to bear the whipping of introversion."

Su Yang's eyes flashed with confusion.

"Brother, do I look good?" Su Xi changed into the beautiful clothes in Su Qing's gift and excitedly ran to Su Qing to show them off.

"It's beautiful, Xi'er is as beautiful as a fairy."

"Brother, I heard people say that you are very, very powerful now, even better than daddy?"

"Impossible, our father is the most powerful."

"Brother, I heard that you have arrested a lot of bad guys? Daddy's officials are bigger than you and haven't caught so many bad guys."

"That's because Daddy managed the place well, and all the bad guys were caught. Without the bad guys, of course we can't catch anyone. This is why a good fighter has no great military exploits..."

Chatting with my younger siblings, half a day passed before I knew it.

In the afternoon, the sun is approaching dusk.

Suddenly, Erniang walked in in a panic, and her expression changed immediately when she saw Su Qing.

Seeing such doubts flickering in Su Qing's eyes, Su Qing immediately stood up, "Er Niang, what's wrong with you? What happened to make you panic?"

"Qing'er, Er Niang is begging you, you go and save Xiao'er, the master... he's going to cut off Xiao'er's hand..."

As he spoke, he burst into tears.

"Why?" Su Qing asked in surprise.

"I don't know either, it's always Xiao'er who doesn't live up to expectations... But no matter how big a mistake he makes, he shouldn't have his hands cut off."

Su Qing's face darkened, "Don't worry, I'll ask."

Su Qing didn't pat her chest to plead for mercy immediately. Based on Su Qing's understanding of the old man, Su Xiao's crime should not be small.

What did Erniang say that no matter how big a mistake she made, she wouldn't be cut off?That's because the structure has not been opened, and if the dude really wants to make a mistake, it's not just as simple as chopping off his hands, it's possible to chop off his head.

After leaving the backyard, the younger siblings were embraced by the servants and entered their respective rooms.After asking about the location, Su Qing hurried to the firewood room.

Before stepping into the hospital, I heard a heart-piercing scream like killing a pig.

"Father, I was wrong, I was really wrong. Give me a chance...I dare not...don't cut off my hand..."

"Xiao'er, don't blame father for being cruel. There are some mistakes. If you make mistakes, you will make them. There is no chance to correct them."

"Father, if you lose your hand, the child will be useless for the rest of his life... Father, please give the child a chance."

"You clearly know that the Su family has established a training that the children of the Su family are not allowed to gamble. You made such a big mistake and hurt the whole family. With your two hands, you are doing your father an extrajudicial favor."

Su Qing's footsteps stopped.

Damn, this is the fault of my incompatibility with gambling and drugs.

Gambling is one of Su Qing's most disgusting vices.

If it wasn't for Er Niang's face, Su Qing would want to go in and hold the old man's hand right now.

After hesitating for a long time, Su Qing finally took a deep breath and stepped into the woodshed.

"father--"

The picture in front of me was frozen, and I was quite happy.

Seeing his second brother Su Xiao being pressed on the chopping board by his father, Su Yuanan held up the shiny black bone-chopping knife, and it froze in place as if the pause button had been pressed.

"Qing'er, you're here."

Can I not come?I've been listening to it in the corner for a long time, if you really wanted to chop it up, you'd have done it long ago.

"Brother! Help me...Brother, please plead for me..."

Su Xiaoru waved his arms as if he wanted to grab a life-saving straw.But being held down by Su Yuanan with one hand, all resistance was futile.

"Father, what happened? Isn't the second brother always very well-behaved?"

"He is well-behaved? That was before! In the past one or two years, my father was busy with official duties and neglected to discipline him, but I didn't expect him to hang out with those rich yamen and get into the bad habit of eating, drinking, whoring and gambling..."

"Father, I didn't prostitute!"

"You still have the face to say, you might as well go whoring."

Hearing these words, Su Qing repeatedly praised her in her heart!This is what you said!

"Do you know what scuffle he did?"

"Did you gamble? How much did you lose?" Su Qing's heart skipped a beat.

"I lost a whole three hundred thousand taels! Hahaha... I thought my father's salary would take a thousand years, but he lost it all at once."

Su Qing took a deep breath, and her eyes became serious.

"Su Xiao, you are sixteen years old, you should be able to distinguish right from wrong? How did you lose so much money? No, it's not a matter of losing money. If you do this, big brother can't save you."

"Brother, I was murdered, I really didn't mean to..."
