BXBX NOVEL Chapter 460 - 460: Untitled
Princess Lingxi came out in a sedan chair arranged by the Grand Empress Dowager. Halfway through, she bumped into Princess Hui An pulling Su Xiaoxiao to talk.
“I’ve already settled Father’s matter for you! ” Princess Hui An said arrogantly.
“I’m very capable! I’m much more capable than Jingning! So in the future, you have to curry favor with me!”
Thinking of something, Princess Hui An muttered, “However, why didn’t the Grand Empress Dowager punish you? Didn’t Zhaoyang Hall summon you over for questioning?”
As soon as she finished speaking, the little palace maid beside her gently tugged at her sleeve. “Princess, Princess Lingxi is here.”
Princess Hui An sneered and said, “So be it! Why, do you want me to pick her up! I’ve given her face!”
As she spoke, she glanced down another path.
Guo Lingxi came in a sedan chair of Zhaoyang Hall. She knew the young eunuch who accompanied her. His name was Little Yunzi. It was said that he was the trusted aide of the Grand Empress Dowager.
At this moment, Guo Lingxi opened the curtain at the side and looked at Princess Hui An and Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao was still wearing her dirty clothes, as if she didn’t care about her image at all, and her expression was as calm as ever.
On the other hand, Princess Hui An rolled her eyes angrily. “So what if you have the support of the Grand Empress Dowager! Hmph!”
Guo Lingxi looked at Su Xiaoxiao deeply. She lowered the curtain and her eyes
were cold as she touched her swollen arm.
After bidding farewell to Princess Hui An, Su Xiaoxiao left the palace.
Su MO’s carriage had been waiting for a long time. When the coachman saw her come out, he quickly brought a footstool and opened the curtain for her.
When Su Xiaoxiao sat up, she realized that it was not Su MO who came to pick her up.
“Why is it you?” Su Xiaoxiao asked strangely and sat down opposite him.
Su Li said gloomily, “Do you think I want to come? It’s all because my brother insisted on me coming!”
Su Xiaoxiao folded her sleeves. “Did he ask you to… get bullied by me?”
Su Li’s face darkened. “Hey! What are you saying! If you hadn’t tricked me yesterday, would Big Brother have punished me? It’s good that I came to pick you up! Return the banknotes to me! It wasn’t easy for me to save them all, but Big Brother plundered them all for you!”
Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. “No.”
Su Li gritted her teeth in anger.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the big bump on his forehead. “Yo, were you beaten up?”
Su Li gritted her teeth. “How dare you say that!”
Su Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and leaned against the pillow comfortably. “Is it related to me? Su MO beat you up? That’s not right. Didn’t you get injured after he beat you up yesterday?”
Su Li clenched her fists and roared, “It was your sons!”
Su Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded. “My sons beat you up? Can’t you even defeat three children?”
“You schemed against me and even looked down on me!”
Su Li had been causing trouble for others for 17 years. He had caused the entire family to be in a tizzy. This was the first time he had fallen into the hands of a little girl. He was so angry that his lungs hurt.
Su Li exploded and said, “Your sons picked my mother’s peonies! My mother didn’t notice it yesterday in her excitement. When she came here this morning, she saw that all the peonies were gone and insisted that I pick them! When I said that your sons picked them , she scolded me for wronging your sons! She chased me and beat me up across two streets!”
He was so angry!
Su Xiaoxiao collapsed with laughter.
Guo Lingxi and Su Xiaoxiao came out around the same time. Her carriage was beside the Su family’s carriage.
Hearing Su Xiaoxiao’s laughter, Guo Lingxi and the maidservant’s expressions turned ugly.
The maidservant said disdainfully, “I don’t know what she’s laughing at! Those from the countryside don’t know the rules. Who in the capital is as unrestrained as her!”
Su Li roared, “You’re not allowed to laugh! Shut up!”
Su Xiaoxiao laughed all the way.
After Su Li sent her to Pear Blossom Lane, he went decisively to the Directorate.
This sister was not cute. He was going to cause trouble for Su Ergou!
Everyone in the family had gone out, except for Zhong Shan.
Zhong Shan handed Su Xiaoxiao two letters.
Su Xiaoxiao took it and smiled. “These are the replies from Grandmaster Hui Jue and Aunt Fu.”
Grandmother Hui Jue had written to her, and Aunt Fu had written to Physician
In the letter, Grandmaster Hui Jue told her that she and Aunt Fu were fine. The monthly season of the nunnery had opened, and the wild fruits at the back of the mountain were heavy. The little nuns often sneaked out to pick fruits, but unfortunately, they were not as big as Su Ergou’s.
“So she knew everything?”
The little nuns thought that no one had discovered that they got Su Ergou to pick fruits.
Grandmaster Hui Jue asked Su Xiaoxiao about her situation in the capital and asked her not to neglect her chess skills. In the end, she asked her to take good care of Zhong Shan.
Su Xiaoxiao went to her room to reply to Grandmaster Hui Jue, planning to send it out with Physician Fu’s reply to Aunt Fu.
She was about to go to the medical center and bring the letter to Physician Fu when someone came.
“Third Sister-in-law? Fifth Sister-in-law?
It was Madam Chen and Madam Jiang.
Su Xiaoxiao looked behind the two of them. “Are you the only two here?”
Madam Jiang smiled brightly. “Yes, just the two of us! Your third sister-in-law and I came to see you!”
Madam Chen nodded. “Yes, I’m not here to eat meat.”
Madam Jiang was speechless.
And so was Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen to stew a pot of asparagus red braised pork. It was soft, oily, salty, and fragrant. Coupled with the crispy and smooth taste of the asparagus, it was so delicious that one couldn’t stop eating.
Madam Chen finished three bowls of rice in one go.
Madam Jiang was much more reserved and only finished two and a half bowls. Su Xiaoxiao picked up some kimchi she had made to relieve their boredom.
“Is this a radish?” Madam Jiang took a bite.
It was sour and sweet, and a little numbing and spicy, but it was not the spicy taste that she usually ate. It tasted very strange.
“There are also green peppers and beans.” Su Xiaoxiao picked up some for the two of them.
They had just eaten so much meat that they felt very good. After eating, they were indeed a little tired, but a few mouthfuls of pickled vegetables made them feel refreshed.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t entertain the two of them for nothing.
She never did a losing business.
“Third Sister-in-law, Fifth Sister-in-law, can I ask you something?”
“Tell me,” Madam Jiang said.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Among the women of the Wei family, I’ve only not seen Wei
Ting’s mother. What kind of person is she?”
“You want to ask about your mother-in-law?” Madam Jiang held back her craving and put down her chopsticks.
“Is it inconvenient to say?” Su Xiaoxiao sighed. “Forget it, I won’t make things difficult for you. I originally steamed cured meat and wanted you to bring it back…’
Madam Jiang wiped her drool. “There’s nothing I can’t say! Anyway, you’re about to get married. We’ll be a family in the future, right, Third Sister-in-law?”
Madam Chen nodded in a daze. “Yes, a family.”
She told them some of Madam Wei’s habits, such as living alone in the west courtyard and not interacting with the people in the residence. They only visited her during New Year and holidays.
“Has Mother always been like this?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Madam Jiang really did not want to say anything. She could only blame herself for eating too much.
Madam Jiang waved her hand. “Forget it, forget it. There’s no harm in telling you. I heard it from Second Sister-in-law and the others. Mother wasn’t like this in the past. She and Father once raised a case together..”
