General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming

In the Imperial Study, Emperor Jingxuan was reviewing the memorials.

Eunuch Quan walked over anxiously. “Your Majesty! Bad news! Something happened to His Highness!”

Emperor Jing Xuan asked calmly, “What can happen to him?”

He had just left the Imperial Study and should not have left the palace yet.

Eunuch Quan said anxiously, “His First Highness was knocked into the water by Lord Wei!”

Emperor Jing Xuan’s eyebrows twitched.

It was Wei Ting again!

Fifteen minutes later, the initiator, Wei Ting, and the victim, Xiao Duye, were brought to Emperor Jing Xuan.

Emperor Jing Xuan looked at the Demon King Wei Ting and then at the trembling Xiao Duye. His teeth hurt.

He gritted his teeth and asked, “What happened this time?!”

“Oh, the situation is like this,” Wei Ting said unhurriedly. “Today, I went to the palace to teach the two princesses and all the daughters how to ride and shoot. Who would have thought that a horse would go crazy? In order not to let the crazy horse hit the students, I could only ride the horse out first.”

Eunuch Fu whispered, “There was indeed a crazy horse.”

Emperor Jing Xuan frowned. “Why do crazy horses always appear? Did Hui An fight with Lingxi again?” Eunuch Fu smiled awkwardly.

Wasn’t that so?

Princess Hui An fought with Princess Jingning in the palace, went to the Palace Academy, and fought with Princess Lingxi. In short, she did not stop.

Emperor Jing Xuan pinched his aching glabella.

Wei Ting continued to sigh and said, “It was purely an accident to bump into His Highness… It’s mainly because I didn’t expect His Highness to not know how to swim. Otherwise, I would have bumped into Court Commisioner Hu instead.”

Hu Jiusheng, who was outside the door, trembled.

Xiao Duye also trembled.

This matter was a little infuriating. After Xiao Duye fell into the water, his personal eunuch and the surrounding palace servants immediately wanted to go into the water.

Wei Ting stopped them and asked one by one, “Do you know how to swim?” “Are you good at swimming?”

“Do you have the kind of skills that can save someone and not drown yourselves?”

Everyone looked at one another.

Wei Ting said leisurely, “Isn’t that so? His Highness is strong. There’s no need for you to save him.”

Then, he let Xiao Duye drink a few catties of dirty water in the pool. He drank so much that his eyes rolled back, and was on his last breath by the time Wei Ting made a move to pull him up.

He raised his bandaged right hand. “If Your Highness had said that you didn’t know how to swim, I would have jumped into the water immediately to scoop him up even if my wound was infected.”

Xiao Duye was furious.

Emperor Jing Xuan looked at his eldest son suspiciously. “Aren’t you a good swimmer?”

Wei Ting had an incredulous expression. “That’s right, Your Highness. Your swimming skills are so bad that you almost drowned. How did you save Miss

Qin that day?”

Emperor Jing Xuan’s stern gaze landed on his eldest son’s face.

Xiao Duye’s eyes flashed. Just as he was about to explain, he spat out a mouthful of water.

Wei Ting patted his shoulder and comforted him. “Your Highness, don’t be afraid. It’s just a crime of deceiving the emperor. You’re His Majesty’s biological son. His Majesty definitely can’t bear to punish you heavily.”

“Miss! Miss!”

Qin Yanran was sitting in front of the dressing table applying ointment when the maidservant stumbled in.

Qin Yanran frowned. “Why are you so flustered? In the future, you’ll be a servant of the Lord’s Estate. How can you be so unruly?”

The maidservant lowered her head aggrievedly. “I… I have something urgent to report.”

Qin Yanran said, “Speak!”

The maidservant said, “His First Highness… has been removed from his position as Commander of the Imperial Guards!”

Qin Yanran’s expression changed. “What!”

The maidservant said in a low voice, “Your Majesty… His Majesty realized that the person who saved you that day was the Eldest Prince’s eunuch and not him… In a fit of anger… His Majesty removed his position in the hall… and… he even punished the Eldest Prince to be grounded for a month…”

Qin Yanran stood up. “Grounded for a month? What about the banquet?”

Secondary consorts were also concubines. Although they could not be like the main consort, they still had to hold a banquet.

The maidservant bit her lip and did not dare to continue.

The Eldest Prince had already been grounded, so how could there be a banquet?

She could only be brought into the residence in a sedan chair…

This was also Emperor Jing Xuan’s punishment for Qin Yanran.

She knew that the person who saved her was not the Eldest Prince himself, but she had deceived him with the Eldest Prince. How could Emperor Jing Xuan not be angry?

Qin Yanran was so angry that her heart hurt and her eyes turned black. “Who did it? How did this matter get exposed?” The maidservant said fearfully, “It… it seems to be Lord Wei.”

Qin Yanran gritted her teeth. “Wei Ting!”

Wei Ting had knocked the Eldest Prince into the water, so it was impossible for Emperor Jing Xuan not to punish him.

The question was how to punish him?

He had never returned to the Imperial Court to work, so he could not be dismissed even if he wanted to.

Emperor Jing Xuan wanted to punish him by removing him from his teaching position in the Palace School, but Wei Ting’s nonchalant expression made Emperor Jing Xuan dispel this thought.

“Your salary will be fined half a year’s salary!”

Wei Ting’s face darkened.

After coming out of the Imperial Study, Wei Ting weighed the money bag in his hand and smiled. “Fortunately, I was prepared.”

Did he pull Xiao Duye out of the water for nothing?

Wouldn’t he have to collect some money for his savage work?

“Wei Ting!”

Xiao Duye walked out angrily. He pushed away the eunuch who was supporting him and came to Wei Ting with a cold expression.

“You did it on purpose, didn’t you?”

Wei Ting put away the money bag and looked at him casually. He smiled.

“Eldest Prince, it’s good that you know some things. Why say it out loud?” “You!” Xiao Duye hurriedly looked around.

Wei Ting tidied his wet clothes. “Stop looking. Only you and your trusted eunuch heard it. No one will believe it if word gets out.” Xiao Duye was furious. “Wei Ting!”

Wei Ting smiled faintly. “Your Highness, I hold grudges.”

With that, he left arrogantly.

Xiao Duye was so angry that he doubted his life.

How could there be such an arrogant person in the world?

Was he really not afraid of death?!

On the other side, Su Xiaoxiao left the palace.

When she lifted the curtain, she actually saw the number one young master of the Imperial City that she had not seen for a few days.

“It’s Cousin.”

Su MO corrected.

She was actually older than him but…

Su Xiaoxiao sat down beside him.

There was a jar of peeled walnuts on the table.

Su Xiaoxiao carried it over and dug inside with her chubby fingers.

Each one was full and in a complete shape.

She grabbed one and threw it into her mouth, narrowing her eyes in satisfaction.

Su MO actually did not understand what was so delicious about walnuts. How could she eat them so happily?

“I haven’t congratulated Uncle for defeating Qin Jiang,” Su MO said.

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “Oh, it’s a small matter. Why were you gone for so long? Did anything happen?”

Su MO said, “The heavy rain caused a landslide and destroyed the bridges and official roads, as well as a few villages. We’re fine, but the local villagers suffered. They just sowed seeds and they were all flooded.”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Were there heavy casualties?”

Su MO shook his head. “There aren’t many casualties. This is probably a blessing in disguise. Grandpa is still delivering disaster relief locally. He asked me to return to the capital to see your situation first.” “Where’s Fifth Brother?” Su Xiaoxiao asked again.

Su MO paused. “He escaped.”

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned. “Huh?”

Su MO sighed helplessly. “Fifth Brother is like this. He never wants to stay at home. It’s useless to hit him.”

He had two brothers at home who made him worry the most. One was the fourth, and the other was the fifth.

They were twins, but their personalities were poles apart.

One was too quiet, and the other was too noisy. They did not behave like normal children.

Su MO continued, “In addition, we were delayed there for a few days. Actually, there’s another reason. We discovered a sect’s nest. Grandpa plans to wait for an opportunity to destroy it.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “White Lotus Society?”

This time, it was Su Mo’s turn to be surprised. “You know?”

Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly said, “I don’t know about your actions. I just heard something about the White Lotus Society a few days ago. The corpses under the attic were believers of the White Lotus Society.”

Su MO frowned. “Is that so?”

Su Xiaoxiao grabbed another walnut. “Xiao Zhonghua found out. It should be right.”

Su MO looked at her with a complicated expression. “You and the Third Prince…”

Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “I have nothing to do with him. Jing Yi told me.”

Su MO was amazed that this girl was already familiar with people from the Marquis of Weiwu’s Mansion…

Su MO looked at the entrance of the palace and asked, “The school hasn’t ended yet. Why did you come out early?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “I’ve been on leave for the past few days. I don’t have to go to class. ”

Su MO asked curiously, “Why did you take leave?

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said, “To treat the Empress Dowager.”

Su MO wondered, “Did I really only leave for a few days?”

After returning to Pear Blossom Lane from the palace, Su Xiaoxiao went to get a few herbs while Su MO went to the opposite side to buy candied hawthorn for the three children.

Hu Biyun happened to be buying candied hawthorn for her brother.

Seeing Su MO, her heart skipped a beat and her eyes panicked. She tucked the hair behind her ear, lowered her eyes, and bowed gently.

“Young Master Su.”

Su MO nodded calmly and did not speak to her.

“Four sticks of candied hawthorn.” “Alright, Young Master. It’s half a tael of silver.”

The price of sugar has risen again.

Su MO was a young master of the Marquis’s Estate, so he naturally did not pay attention to the price. He paid the money, took the candied hawthorn, and turned to leave.

“Wait.”

Hu Biyun stopped him and walked forward with a red face. She held a snow-white handkerchief with both hands and said softly, “Young Master Su, you dropped your handkerchief.”

Su MO did not move.

Seeing this, the coachman quickly ran over and took the handkerchief from Hu Biyun. “Thank you, Miss.”

Hu Biyun mustered her courage and looked at Su MO shyly.

However, Su MO did not give her a look from the beginning to the end. He walked toward Su Xiaoxiao, who had come out of the first hall.

The coachman hurried after him.

He held the handkerchief. “Young Master, this…” Su MO said expressionlessly, “Throw it away..”
