Chapter 668: Powerful Allies
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Bai Xihe and the Princess of the Western Jin Dynasty held the fort and successfully angered the fourth matchmaker away.
When Su Cheng returned from court, he was blocked by Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou.
The two of them charged out like bandits, scaring him so much that he almost drew his saber.
“It’s you.” He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw his son and daughter’s faces clearly.
“Shh…” Su Ergou gestured for him to keep quiet. He turned around and looked at the reception hall. He lowered his voice and said, “Dad, keep your voice down.”
Su Cheng looked confused. “Why are you so sneaky?”
“Is the Protector Duke back?”
The two great women asked in unison.
Su Cheng’s hair stood on end and he immediately covered his mouth.
He gave his daughter and son a look.
The two of them understood.
The three of them quietly hid behind the bushes at the side and squatted on the ground, looking very unsightly.
Su Cheng whispered, “Why are they here?”
Su Ergou also whispered, “They’re here to be my stepmother. Dad, which one do you want to marry?”
Su Cheng stuck out half of his head and looked in the direction of the reception hall. Afraid of being discovered, he retracted it in a second. “I can’t marry either of them.”
Su Ergou said bravely, “It’s fine. I’m not afraid of being tricked or beaten up. Dad, as long as you like it. At most, I’ll move to my sister’s house.”
Su Cheng slapped him on the head. “The last sentence must be your main point!”
He missed her sister so much!
Su Ergou touched his head resentfully. “Who asked you to cook so badly?”
Su Cheng exploded and whispered, “I don’t cook anymore! Your grandfather made the meals!”
In order to make up for his many years of regret, Qin Canglan actually washed his hands and cooked for Su Ergou personally. He even burned the kitchen a few times.
Su Xiaoxiao reminded them rationally. Her chubby finger poked their shoulders. “Hey, can you not digress?”
Su Cheng coughed lightly. “I never thought of finding a stepmother for the two of you.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Undergarment…”
“Cough, cough, cough!” Su Cheng choked.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “In the future, when Ergou and I get married, you’ll be alone. It’s quite pitiful. Ergou and I think it’s good to find someone to take care of you.”
Su Ergou nodded.
They would always remember their mother in their hearts, but this did not mean that they wanted to see their father die alone.
It had not been easy for their father to raise him and his sister. Many people had come to propose marriage, but their father had rejected them. They were old now and did not need to be taken care of. It was time for his father to plan for himself.
Su Cheng sighed. “The two of them… are indeed difficult…”
One was the Princess of the Western Jin Dynasty, and the other was the Empress Dowager. He would not be allowed to marry either.
It was impossible for Emperor Jing Xuan to let the military power fall into the hands of other countries. If he were to marry the Princess of the Western Jin, he could only make the entire Qin family give up its military power and go to the Western Jin to be a live-in son-in-law.
The Qin family’s army was Qin Canglan’s life’s work. How could it be wasted like this?
As for Bai Xihe, it was even more difficult.
He let out a long sigh. “Unless we create a rebellion.”
“Son, are you rebelling?” Qin Canglan’s voice suddenly appeared behind him. Su Cheng was shocked. He stood up and said, “Dad? Why are you here? No, I…”
“I understand.” Qin Canglan gestured that there was no need to say anything else. He looked at the sky above his head in pain and turned to enter the night.
Su Cheng wanted to say something but hesitated. He turned to look at his fat daughter. “What… what does your grandfather mean…”
Bai Xihe stomped her feet and said to Su Cheng, who was hiding behind the flowers, “Send me back!” ƒгeewebnovёl.com
