Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was actually Xiao Shunyang.
It seemed that Emperor Jing Xuan was really guarding against them. He was even more worried about letting them go to the southern border alone than picking herbs at the border.
That was true. It was her and King Liang who went to the border. Wei Ting had been issued a military order to kill Helian Ye. At that time, Emperor Jing Xuan did not think that such an arrangement could pose any threat.
Who would have thought that she would recruit troops at the border and that Wei Ting would also go into battle to kill the enemy and make contributions? Even Qin Canglan, who was sent to act as the facade, was reinstated as a marshal under the approval of King Liang.
Emperor Jing Xuan began to feel uneasy.
“Shall we go secretly or openly?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Wei Ting said, “It’s neither sneaky nor ostentatious. It would not be related to the Imperial Court. It’s only going to the southern border in the name of traveling.”
The southern border did not have many restrictions on outsiders. When they reached the border, they would go to the government office to provide a deposit and fill in a few official documents. They could enter by pressing their fingerprints.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “When are we leaving?” Wei Ting said, “Tomorrow morning.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked curiously, “So rushed?”
Wei Ting said calmly, “The person in the throne room is afraid that something will happen if we delay and wants to know my father’s whereabouts as soon as possible. ”
Su Xiaoxiao took another bite of the silver ear soup. “I wonder what he’s up to.”
Wei Ting paused and said, “Sleep first after eating. I’ll go see Dad, Grandaunt, and the others.”
He had met the Old Marquis and Su Yuan today, but had yet to greet Su Cheng, Matriarch Su, and Madam Tao.
Actually, it was understandable if he did not go. Her family would not blame Wei Ting, but Wei Ting insisted on going. In a way, it meant that he valued her family.
“I can’t sleep anymore. I’ll go with you.” Coincidentally, she wanted to look for
Su Xuan.
The two of them went to the Protectorate.
Su Ergou was asleep, but Su Cheng was still practicing martial arts.
In the past, he was in a daze in the countryside. After coming to the capital, Su Cheng felt the burden on his shoulders especially after his daughter got married.
He wanted to carry the Protector Duke’s Estate and not let his father and daughter suffer.
“Dad.”
Wei Ting and Su Xiaoxiao walked over.
Su Cheng put away the red tassel spear and looked at the two of them in surprise. “Why are you here in the middle of the night?”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “We’re here to see Dad.”
Su Cheng said reproachfully, “Come tomorrow morning. It’s so late, why aren’t you sleeping? My son-in-law is still injured!”
Although he said that, he could not hide his joy at seeing his daughter and son-in-law.
Wei Ting said warmlv, “I’m fine. We’re here to bid farewell to Dad
Su Cheng’s expression froze. “You’re leaving again?”
Wei Ting told him about his trip to the southern border.
Su Cheng had heard his colleague mention the morning court assembly during the day. He had guessed that they would go to the southern border, but he did not expect it to be so soon.
“Well…” He had a thousand words in his heart, but he suddenly could not say a word.
“Dad, I’ll get it.” Wei Ting took the heavy red tassel spear for him and placed it on the weapons rack at the side.
The three of them sat around the stone table.
Su Cheng said nothing.
Su Xiaoxiao gently tugged at his sleeve. “Dad.”
Su Cheng said sadly, “It’s all Dad’s fault. In the early years… if Dad had been more diligent… and not neglected my martial arts… Perhaps I could be of some use now…”
Su Xiaoxiao said softly, “Dad, it’s not easy for you to raise Ergou and me. Besides, you didn’t waste your martial arts. I know that you often secretly practice martial arts in the forest behind our house. You would break big stones on your chest and cut bricks with your bare hands.”
Su Cheng choked.
Ah, how embarrassing.
To Su Xiaoxiao, her father was the best father in the world. His hand was crippled, but he did not give up on his martial arts. Without a master, he relied on himself to secretly learn. After coming to the capital, he began to practice martial arts with his father and uncle.
It was already very impressive to have his current achievements.
The two of them chatted with Su Cheng for a while.
Since Su Cheng was so worried about her, Su Xiaoxiao decided to tell him about her pregnancy when she came back. This was to prevent him from becoming more worried.
The two of them went to see the sleeping Su Ergou again. Wei Ting left a letter.
Then, the two of them went to the Marquis of Zhenbei’s residence.
