Chapter 384: Siblings
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
On a carriage on the official road, Su Xiaoxiao and Su Qi had just wiped the last bit of mud off their hands with a handkerchief.
Su Cheng picked up the carriage in large strides, lifted the curtain, and entered with a grin. “Daughter!”
He also saw Su Qi. “Oh, you’re here too.” He wasn’t as enthusiastic about Su Qi.
After all, she was not his chubby daughter.
Su Qi greeted politely, “Uncle… Uncle.”
His ncle has regained his memory, right? Could I address him as his uncle now?
Why was he so nervous?
Su Cheng coughed lightly, not knowing if he had agreed.
Su Cheng sized up the two of them and asked, “Daughter, where did you two go? Why are you all wet? Did you fall into the water?” Su Qi secretly glanced at a certain chubby girl.
She did not fall. She dove.
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “Oh, Su Qi fell into the river. I pulled him up.”
Su Qi, who had been thrown into the river was speechless.
“Achoo!”
Su Qi sneezed.
The water in April was very cold. Why was this little girl fine?
Su Cheng handed Su Qi a handkerchief.
Su Qi was so touched that tears streamed down his face. His uncle really doted on him!
Su Cheng warned, “Cover your mouth and nose. Don’t infect my daughter.”
Su Qi was speechless. frёewebnoѵēl.com
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Father, is the result out?”
Su Cheng said, “It’s out!”
“Who… who won?” Su Qi asked nervously.
It was a sure thing, but for some reason, he was worried that Emperor Jin Xuan would play tricks.
His worries were not unreasonable. Emperor Jing Xuan had resorted to trickery, but he had not won.
Su Cheng explained the small episode of the military strategy examination.
Su Qi frowned. “As expected! I knew things wouldn’t go so smoothly…”
He thought of something and looked at Su Cheng in confusion. “But Uncle, you can’t even read. Can you understand that test paper? Did you really do it yourself?”
“Why can’t I understand? I… I can read!”
A certain someone said without confidence.
At this moment, Wei Ting’s carriage passed by.
The officials left one after another. At this moment, there were too many people and eyes, so he did not come over to greet them. Lord Wei, who had hidden his achievements and reputation, sat in his carriage.
“It was Wei Ting, right?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Su Cheng looked up at the sky. “What did you say? I don’t understand.”
He could still survive!
Wei Ting had indeed cheated in the military strategy examination this time. He had personally snuck into the palace and peeked at the examination paper in advance.
However, the final test was not the one that Wei Ting had seen.
However, Father Su was not stupid. He did not know much about the art of war and did not know how to write.
But he was smart.
If he couldn’t write it, couldn’t he draw it?
It was not about beauty. It was fine as long as it could be understood.
In the past, when he was on an escort mission, this was how he communicated with others.
He improvised and mastered it. This was probably the legendary talent.
Qin Jiang was too calculative about gains and losses, while Su Cheng was bold enough to not be limited in his thinking.
Outside the hunting ground, the princes and princesses also boarded the carriages one after another.
“Third Brother,” Princess Hui An called out.
Xiao Zhonghua smiled and said gently, “Wait for me in the carriage. I’ll go talk to Big Brother. ”
Princess Hui An obediently got into the carriage.
Xiao Zhonghua walked to Xiao Duye’s carriage and said, “Big Brother.” Xiao Duye’s expression turned ugly.
As one of the commanders of the imperial guards, he was naturally punished by Emperor Jing Xuan for such a huge mistake.
It was expected that he would be punished when Su Cheng and Qin Jiang both survived, but it was unexpected that they survived.
“I want to congratulate Third Brother for being valued by Father.”
Xiao Zhonghua comforted him, “Big Brother, don’t be dejected. I believe that
Father was just angry for a moment and took his anger out on you. When Father’s anger dissipates, he will naturally let you resume your position.”
It would have been better if he hadn’t said this, but once he did, Xiao Duye’s face turned even darker.
If Su Cheng had not won, Emperor Jing Xuan would not have been so angry, and his punishment would not have been so severe.
Strictly speaking, the commander of the Guards Legion Corps was Lord Fu, and he was just an assistant. If something happened, he would not be the first to be targeted.
However, he was stripped of his official hat along with Commander Fu. It could be seen how upset Emperor Jing Xuan was with Su Cheng.
“What’s the matter, Third Brother?” Xiao Duye asked indifferently.
Xiao Zhonghua said gently, “No, I just saw that Big Brother’s expression was very bad, so I came to comfort you.”
“I’m fine. You don’t have to worry about me.”
“In that case, I’ll go investigate the case.”
What happened in the forest had to be investigated. Emperor Jing Xuan had already handed it over to the Court of Judicial Review and asked Xiao Zhonghua to go to the Court of Judicial Review to help investigate the case.
Xiao Duye felt even more stifled.
