Chapter 699: The Three Tigers Are Here
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
On this trip to the Western Jin, they went out of the west city gate. There was a ferry 20 miles south, where they would board the ship.
Su Xiaoxiao had seen the map in advance. The Western Jin Capital was about a
month’s drive from the capital of the Great Zhou. This was even when they had the best carriage. If it were ordinary people, they would travel longer.
“No wonder so many people spent more than half a year traveling. It’s really not an exaggeration…”
Su Xiaoxiao lowered the curtain and fell silent.
Wei Ting glanced at her. She was resting with her eyes closed, but she was clearly not asleep.
Wei Ting asked, “What are you thinking about?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Children.”
Wei Ting’s gaze landed on her soft abdomen. Without changing his expression, he said, “Then I’ll work harder.”
Su Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and looked at him in disbelief. “I’m talking about the children at home — Dahu, Erhu, Xiaohu! What were you thinking?”
Wei Ting was speechless. “…Isn’t that because you didn’t make it clear?” freewēbnoveℓ.com
Su Xiaoxiao was not in the mood to bicker with him today. She hugged a pillow in her arms and leaned against the wall of the car. She said lazily, “I’ve never been separated from them for so long.”
The corners of Wei Ting’s mouth twitched. They had yet to leave the city, but she was already thinking about the children.
“Not long. It’s three months on the road and two to three months for treatment. It’s only half a year!”
Wei Ting said exaggeratedly.
Actually, it would not take so long. Three months was enough, but he liked to see her angry.
Su Xiaoxiao was furious. “Is the journey going to take that long?”
Wei Ting raised his eyebrows. “It’s not like you’ve never traveled out. Didn’t you always go to the prefecture city to do business when we were living the countryside?”
Su Xiaoxiao curled her lips. “How many days was that?”
Wei Ting continued, “It’s far enough to come to the capital, right? Then a month—”
Wei Ting stopped mid-sentence.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “I didn’t bring you along when I came to the capital for a
month.”
At the mention of this, Wei Ting was furious. What did this girl take him for? She took advantage of him in the countryside, but she didn’t bring him to the capital and only took the three brats away.
He had never seen such a heartless woman!
The past was unbearable to look back on. Wei Ting knocked on the table with his slender fingers. “Figure out a fact. I’m the one going on a housecall with you now. The three of them have stayed at home.”
He had finally turned the tables.
How dare a few brats occupy his little fat peacock? Dream on!
He was their father after all.
“Aiya—”
Just as they were about to leave the city gate, Xing’er exclaimed from the carriage behind.
Xing’er was Su Xiaoxiao’s maidservant.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t have the habit of bringing a maidservant. It was Matriarch
Wei who was worried about her grandson and insisted that Su Xiaoxiao bring someone to serve them.
Wei Ting asked Fu Su to stop the carriage, and the carriage behind stopped.
Wei Ting and Su Xiaoxiao alighted from the carriage and came to Xing’er’s carriage.
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “What happened?”
Xing’er lifted the curtain and jumped down as if she had seen a ghost in broad daylight. She pointed at the carriage and said with a pale face, “Table, table, table, table… Are the snacks on the table gone?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Make yourself clear.”
Xing’er said fearfully, “Just… I… I took out a box of snacks and planned to bring them over for Miss and Young Master, but when I turned around, a few of the snacks were missing. I didn’t mind… I thought I had counted wrongly, so I took a few more out of the food box. When I looked again… a few more were missing… Then… that plate seemed to be full… I put a few more…”
Xing’er was still young and was good at being a maidservant. However, when she encountered such a strange thing, she was frightened out of her wits.
Wei Ting lifted the curtain and looked at the empty carriage.
The furnishings in the carriage were simple. There was a wide carriage stool covered with mattresses, and a small table under the window was fixed to the carriage wall and covered with silk cloth.
In addition, there were a few food boxes, bags, and a box.
“Come out,” he said in a low voice.
The carriage was as quiet.
