Chapter 239 - 239 Arrival of the Fat Lass

239 Arrival of the Fat Lass

In the blink of an eye, she exchanged more than ten moves with Wei Ting.

Wei Ting said, “Third Sister-in-law, let me go and I’ll buy meat for you. Braised pork from River Gazing Restaurant!”

Madam Chen paused.

Madam Jiang whipped Wei Ting. “Third Sister-in-law, don’t listen to him! He’s fooling you again! The last time, he said he would buy you pancakes, did he buy them for you in the end?”

!!

“No.” Madam Chen frowned.

“Why not?” Wei Ting gritted his teeth. He had bought it, but his grandmother’s people intercepted him midway.

Madam Chen raised her red tassel spear again and called out to Wei Ting.

This time, for some reason, Wei Ting did not dodge and his back was hit firmly.

Madam Chen’s goal was to stop Wei Ting from escaping, not to kill him. Therefore, she did not stab him with the spearhead. Instead, she tapped him.

Even so, Wei Ting still grunted and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Wei Ting fell to the ground.

Their expressions changed drastically.

Mdm Jiang threw away her whip and walked over. She squatted down and looked at Wei Ting in panic. “Little Seven, what’s wrong?”

Wei Ting lay on the ground on his side, one hand covering his heart and the other reaching for his injured back. He said with a pained expression, “Fifth Sister-in-law, I think I’m injured…”

Mdm Jiang said in a daze, “You, aren’t scamming us again, right?”

Wei Ting smiled weakly and was about to speak when he spat out another mouthful of blood.

Madam Jiang was frightened. She turned to look at Madam Chen and said, “Third Sister-in-law, how could you beat Little Seven up like this?”

“I-I didn’t use much strength. I just… tapped him.”

“Don’t you know how strong you are? You slapped a bear to death!”

These words were not nonsense. Back then, when the sons of the Wei family were still alive, they had once followed the emperor to hunt. Halfway through, the emperor encountered a bear. The inner court experts could not save him in time, so Madam Chen swung her rod and killed the bear on the spot.

Madam Chen also realized that she was indeed a little strong. She scratched her head. “What should we do?”

Madam Jiang knelt on the ground and looked at Wei Ting, who was vomiting blood. She cried. “Little Seven!”

“I, I, I’ll get a physician!”

Madam Chen threw the red tassel spear away and turned to leave.

After taking two steps, she turned back and retrieved the red tassel spear.

Madam Jiang cried.

Suddenly, Wei Ting’s slender finger moved and tapped her acupoints.

Mdm Jiang was stunned!

Wei Ting smiled. “Sorry, Fifth Sister-in-law.”

Madam Jiang was so angry that her eyes shot darts!

“Brat, how dare you tease me!”

It was windy outside. Madam Chen and Madam Jiang came out to catch him. In order to be agile, they did not wear much.

Wei Ting took off his cloak and covered Madam Jiang.

“Sorry, Fifth Sister-in-law. Third Sister-in-law will be here in 15 minutes at most. Please wait here for a moment.”

With that, he did not forget to arrange Madam Jiang into a more comfortable sitting position.

Madam Jiang’s eyes chased after him fiercely.

“Brat, don’t let me catch you, or I’ll chop off your war flag!”

Night fell.

Su Mo sent Su Xiaoxiao back to the residence.

Physician Fu stayed in the estate, but he did not need to stay by the bed. Su Mo arranged for a few trusted physicians to take turns on night duty. If anything happened, they would wake Physician Fu up in time.

In the carriage, Su Xiaoxiao asked about the Protectorate.

Su Mo answered them one by one.

When they were about to reach Pear Blossom Lane, they met an acquaintance.

“Eh? Who’s inside?”

The man asked.

Su Mo lifted the curtain. “Second Grandpa, it’s me.”

He introduced him to Su Xiaoxiao. “He’s my grandaunt’s brother-in-law.”

The younger brother of the old Guardian Duke, Qin Canlan, Qin Hai.

Su Mo could not expose Su Xiaoxiao’s identity to anyone related to the Protectorate for the time being. He got out of the carriage and bowed to the other party.

Qin Hai must have noticed that there was someone in the carriage, but he could not ask further. After greeting them, he rode away.

“The old Protector Duke has a younger brother?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Su Mo lowered the carriage curtain. “He’s a concubine’s son. Speaking of which, back then, when Uncle disappeared, we couldn’t find him for many years. Everyone has almost concluded that Uncle has died. The Duke’s Estate had to have a successor. Granduncle planned to pass the position of Duke to Qin Hai. Qin Hai was so frightened that he hurriedly split from the family.”

Not everyone was ambitious and greedy for power.

...

All these years, Qin Hai had been eating, drinking, and playing. He was much more carefree than Qin Canglan, who had his head tied to his belt at all times.

Su Mo left after sending Su Xiaoxiao back to Pear Blossom Lane.

Su Cheng was not around. He and the three little fellows had gone out to buy lamp oil.

Su Ergou was boxing in his courtyard.

It was a new set of fist techniques taught by the kind old man.

When he heard the commotion in the courtyard, he quickly retracted his fist and ran to the central room. “Sister, you’re back?”

“Yes, have you eaten?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

“I’ve eaten,” Su Ergou said. “Dad bought the buns.”

The three little ones who were poisoned by the roasted sweet potatoes were determined not to let Father Su enter the kitchen again. Father Su had no choice but to go to the market to buy a few big meat buns.

Su Ergou said, “I left two for you. They’re in the hot pot.”

Su Xiaoxiao only took one and handed the other to Su Ergou.

...

“I’m not hungry,” Su Ergou refused.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “You’ll be hungry later.”

This child was growing and had been especially hungry recently.

Su Ergou hesitated for a moment before taking the bun.

Su Xiaoxiao took a bite of the bun. “Did you buy what I asked you to buy?”

“I bought it!” Su Ergou said. “Don’t worry, I bought it secretly and didn’t let Dad see it. But Sister, why did you buy those clothes?”

Su Xiaoxiao sat on the stool and stretched her chubby legs. She said calmly, “It’s nothing. It’s to meet a person.”

After eating the buns, Su Xiaoxiao returned to the house and changed into the night clothes that Su Ergou had bought. “If Dad asks, say that I went to the Marquis Mansion.”

Su Ergou said, “Oh, Sister, be careful.”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded.

The moon was dark and windy.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the map she had obtained from Su Mo and successfully found the location of the Protectorate.

In front of him was a high wall with sharp broken tiles. If she flipped over it with her bare hands, she would be cut into a bloody mess.

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of the pair of insulation gloves rewarded by the pharmacy.

No way…

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows strangely and took out the gloves from the small first aid bag tied to her waist.

She first tried the dagger that Wei Ting had given her

It actually didn’t cut.

At first, Su Xiaoxiao despised it too much and didn’t study its texture carefully. Now that she touched it, she realized that its texture was very strange as if it was formed by countless thin and small cold steel wires.

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly smiled.

Who said it was useless?

Wasn’t that useful?

Su Xiaoxiao put on her gloves and took more than ten steps back.

She ran, kicked the wall, and jumped up!

Supporting herself on the wall covered in sharp debris, she jumped and fell behind the wall!

Phew!

The little fatty could also be very agile!
