Chapter 151 - 151 Good Baby (2)

151 Good Baby (2)

“That village girl… was Miss Su!”

… .

Early the next morning, after Su Xiaoxiao and the others had a sumptuous breakfast in the prefecture, they boarded the carriage back to Apricot Flower Town.

Although the business with the Wang family was ruined, extorting 500 taels from Prefecture Lord Li was considered an additional windfall.

!!

In addition, she got to know Grandmaster Hui Jue.

The nun had asked her to visit her next time, so they should be considered acquaintances, right?

Looking at Prefecture Lord Li’s attitude towards the nun, Su Xiaoxiao felt that she had to cozy up to this big shot.

On the other side, Jing Yi and the others also returned to Wutong Academy.

The weather had been good for the past few days. Snow had melted everywhere, and the eaves were filled with melted snow.

Young Master Xiang was wearing a fox fur coat and painting in front of the window.

The maidservants secretly looked at him through the curtain of snow and water. They felt that it was difficult to find a man more noble, elegant, and handsome than Young Master Xiang in this world.

“Cousin.” Jing Yi walked in, looking travel-worn.

The maids’ eyes suddenly became busy.

Young Master Xiang was a melancholic and honorable sickly beauty, while Young Master Jing was a handsome young man.

They were both good-looking!

Young Master Xiang glanced at him and stopped painting. “Were you injured?”

Jing Yi was stunned. “How did you know?”

He had clearly covered it with his clothes.

Young Master Xiang put down his brush. “You smell like medicine. How did you get injured?”

Jing Yi said, “I met an assassin.”

“Oh?” Young Master Xiang was slightly surprised. “What assassin can hurt you?”

Jing Yi lowered his eyes. “I don’t know him. I was just careless. It’s just a superficial wound. Cousin, don’t mind it.”

Young Master Xiang said thoughtfully, “Looks like our whereabouts have been exposed. We have to end the mission as soon as possible, or else it will attract more and more trouble. Has the mission been completed?”

Jing Yi answered truthfully, “No, that person didn’t appear.”

Young Master Xiang frowned slightly. “Jing Yi, I have a bad feeling. It’s as if… we’ve been targeted and all our movements are slower than the other party.”

Jing Yi said solemnly, “Cousin, do you mean that the reason that person didn’t appear was because of an accident?”

Young Master Xiang said, “This is just my guess. Did you find anything else in the prefecture?”

“That’s it,” Jing Yi said.

Young Master Xiang reminded, “You’re injured. Hurry up and go back to your room to rest. I’ll get Changping to get a physician for you later.”

Jing Yi said seriously, “I told you it’s just a superficial wound. Don’t call the physician over. I hate physicians.”

Young Master Xiang smiled. “Ah, I almost forgot. You didn’t like to see a physican since you were young. You took care of yourself when you were sick and even when you were injured. Our family has been worried about you a lot. Previously, I was puzzled when I heard you say that Miss Su helped you reattach your arm.”

Jing Yi turned away. “That’s because she moved too quickly.”

Young Master Xiang smiled and said, “She did it without informing you?”

“Yes,” Jing Yi admitted with a serious expression.

Jing Yi returned to his room after a while.

Young Master Xiang opened the brocade box on the table and took out a prescription.

It was the prescription that Su Xiaoxiao had left behind.

Looking at the bold handwriting on the prescription, Young Master Xiang’s expression darkened bit by bit.

Today was the day Su Xiaoxiao promised to return home. The three little ones went to the village entrance early to wait while Meizi watched them.

Wei Ting did not go. He had something on.

The man in black stood in front of him with a wooden expression. He had maintained this posture for two hours.

Wei Ting glanced at him impatiently. “If you haven’t completed the mission, just say it.”

“It’s done,” the man in black said numbly. “I didn’t let Young Marquis Jing see Bai Xiaosheng.”

Bai Xiaosheng, also known as Know-it-all, was someone who was sought after in the martial world. It was rumored that there was no information in the world that he could not find.

Of course, this guy was just bragging. At most, he was just gathering good information.

Unfortunately, he happened to have a secret relating Wei Ting.

And this secret must not fall into the hands of Jing Yi’s party.

The man in black looked sad. “Originally, I had a chance to kill Young Marquis Jing, but… that girl appeared! I can’t kill her too, right?”

As he spoke, he exploded!

“To think there is actually a time when I, Yuchi Xiu, ranked second on the Assassin List, wasn’t able to kill people! What a great humiliation!”

Wei Ting paused. “You stayed there for two hours because of this?”

“No.” The man in black became sad again.

He covered his butt and said with empty eyes, “My butt hurts… I’m not pure anymore…”

...

Wei Ting was speechless.

Wei Ting looked at him strangely, his expression indescribable.

“You… were you the one below?”

The man in black was dumbfounded.

At the village entrance, the three little ones had already become three small statues pining after their mother.

Some of the villagers teased them.

An auntie chuckled and said, “Your mother went to the city and won’t be coming back.”

“She will come back!” Dahu said.

“Mother agreed!” Xiaohu said.

“Pinky swore!” Xiaohu said.

...

The auntie continued, “That’s a lie. She won’t let you follow her. Your mother doesn’t want you anymore. She’s gone to the city to live a good life.”

Xiaohu stomped his feet. “Yes! She wants Xiaohu! Erhu! Dahu!”

They were so angry. These grannies were so annoying!

Mother would not abandon them!

However, they waited and waited. It was almost dark, but their mother still had not returned.

The pinky swear.

Three days.

It was going to end today.

The three of them began to feel anxious and restless. They walked in circles and scratched their heads with their small hands.

At this moment, a carriage arrived at the village entrance.

The curtain was lifted, and a familiar chubby figure alighted.

The gloominess in their heart seemed to have dissipated in an instant.

The eyes of the three little ones lit up. They flapped their little arms and ran over!

“Mother!”

Mother was back. Mother did not abandon them!

They were not motherless children.

They were their mother’s good babies.
