Chapter 836: Fourth Brother Attacks
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
They could finally go out and play. The four little ones were extremely happy, and the three little tiger heads were so excited that they wanted to tear down the house. Wei Xiyue lay on her mother’s lap one moment and on the car window the next. She was also a little excited.
To Li Wan, this was her first time traveling far.
However, as long as she could be with her husband, she did not care even if she was punished by her grandmother when she returned.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Don’t worry, Second Sister-in-law. Let Second Brother take the beating for you!”
In the carriage in front, Wei Qing sneezed violently.
This place was full, so Wei Ting could only freeload on his second brother’s carriage. The coachman was the assassin, and Mei Ji sat beside him.
In order to cause unnecessary commotion, she reluctantly wrapped a large cloak around her proud figure.
Su Xiaoxiao’s coachman was Fu Su.
Where was Yuchi Xiu?
Oh, he was standing on the roof of the car pretentiously. He was dressed in black, had a black bamboo hat, and a killer sword.
Fu Su braked.
Duang!
Yuchi Xiu fell to the ground.
According to the agreement, they were going to meet Xiao Shunyang at the south city gate.
When they approached the city gate, the four little ones were attracted by the shouts of people selling candied hawthorn on the street. Su Xiaoxiao asked Fu Su to stop the carriage while she brought them to buy candied hawthorn.
There were many types of candied hawthorn, orange, and yam eggs and red dates with walnuts.
“Xiaohu wants hawthorn!”
Dahu said, “Then I want oranges ones.”
Xiaohu stretched out his arm and jumped up. ‘Xiaohu wants oranges too!”
Erhu pointed at a string of sparkling candied hawthorn. “I want those that look like yam eggs.”
Xiaohu changed his mind again. “Xiaohu wants yam eggs!”
Su Xiaoxiao said in amusement, “Do you want everything?”
Xiaohu blinked cutely. “If Mom must buy them all for Xiaohu, Xiaohu can take them too.”
“Little greedy thing.” Su Xiaoxiao scratched his head and asked Wei Xiyue,
“What does Xiyue want?”
“All of them.”
Wei Xiyue said. This was definitely someone who doted on Xiao Bai.
There were only two sticks left of each. Su Xiaoxiao bought them all. Coincidentally, there were eight sticks. The four little ones each grabbed two sticks and happily sat back in the carriage.
“Second Sister-in-law, watch them first. I’ll go over for a while.” She had just sensed that someone was following them.
She went to the alley diagonally opposite and said calmly, “Come out.”
No movement.
Su Xiaoxiao shot out three silver needles!
A figure flew over the eaves and the silver needles were nailed to the wall behind his feet.
That was close. He had almost been shot!
He landed in front of Su Xiaoxiao angrily and said bitterly, “What are you doing? Why are you so ruthless?”
Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows calmly. “So it’s you.”
Su Li dusted the wall dust off his sleeve unhappily. “So what if it’s me?”
Su Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes. “Why did you follow me?”
Su Li rolled her eyes. “Do you think I want to? Fourth Brother asked me to come! He has something for you!” Su Xiaoxiao reached out. ‘Give it to me.”
Su Li curled her lips and took out three small brocade bags from her pocket, placing them in her hand in a fit of pique!
Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao was about to open it, he hurriedly said, “Fourth
Brother said that the brocade bag can only be opened when the time is right.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “What do you mean?”
Su Li pointed at her palm and said, “The first brocade bag will be opened after entering the southern border. The second brocade bag will be opened after arriving in the capital. As for the third, Fourth Brother didn’t say. Do as you see fit.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “How do you differentiate between one, two, and three?”
Su Li said, “It’s written below!”
Su Xiaoxiao raised the brocade bags to take a look. As expected, there were two, three words written at the bottom of each brocade bag.
Su Li smiled and said, “I was afraid that you wouldn’t remember, so I specially marked it!”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “I’m afraid you were the one who couldn’t remember.” “I can’t remember, Fourth Brother. Which is the first and which is the second?’
An image flashed across his mind. Su Li suppressed his anger and forcefully shattered the image. If he didn’t say it, it didn’t happen.
He said seriously, “No!”
Su Xiaoxiao weighed the sachet in her hand. “Just give them to me. Why are you following me so sneakily? Are you planning to give it to me when we reach the southern border?”
Su Li straightened his back. “Fourth Brother also gave me another mission, which is to protect you in secret!”
Su Xiaoxiao gave him a sideways glance. “I doubt it.”
Su Li coughed lightly and said seriously, “I don’t care if you suspect me or not. In short, I’ve accepted Fourth Brother’s money, so I have to do things for him. Go ahead, I’ll follow you secretly!”
Su Xiaoxiao hit the nail on the head. “Are you sure you didn’t pay for it yourself?”
Su Li was speechless.
Su Xiaoxiao returned to the carriage with the brocade bags.
Since Su Xuan did not say when the third brocade bag could be opened, it meant that it could open at any time.
“Eh? Where did these brocade bags come from?” Li Wan asked curiously. Su Xiaoxiao said, “Su Li sent them over.”
Su Li’s qinggong was not bad. If she had not gone down to buy candied hawthorn, she would not have discovered him so early.
Inside the brocade bag was a golden jade bracelet with a hollow cloud pattern. The carving was very exquisite. It was made of high-grade suet jade with a faint pink color. Coupled with the dullness of the gold, the bracelet was unique and beautiful.
The four little ones were busy eating candied hawthorn and did not have the time to observe the bracelet. Only Li Wan noticed. ‘What a beautiful bracelet.” Su Xiaoxiao handed it to her.
Li Wan exclaimed, “Which family is this? What a unique style. I’ve never seen it before.”
Su Xiaoxiao said that she had never seen it either.
Why did Su Xuan give her a bracelet? A farewell gift?
Li Wan put it on Su Xiaoxiao’s wrist. The jade bracelet was beautiful, and it looked even more beautiful on her fair wrist. She said sincerely, “It looks good. This bracelet is probably priceless. It suits you very well. Wear it.”
Su Xiaoxiao hummed and almost forgot that the Head of the Secret Service was also a big baller. He was so generous. She would greet him a few more times when she returned!
The group bumped into Xiao Shunyang, who was already waiting outside the southern city gate.
How proactive was he to arrive earlier than them?
Su Xiaoxiao lowered the curtain and said to the four little ones who were licking the candied hawthorn happily, “Have you remembered what I told you?”
The four little ones nodded obediently and continued to lick the candied hawthorn.
Wei Ting and Wei Qing’s carriage was in front. Xiao Shunyang was not as easy to fool as Xiao Duye. He recognized at a glance that the people driving the carriage were Wei Qing’s two subordinates and could not help but ask, “Is this Mr. Zhuge’s carriage?”
Wei Ting lifted the curtain and smiled at him. “Your Highness, you’re early.”
Wei Qing sat beside Wei Ting.
Xiao Shunyang asked, “What do you mean?”
Wei Qing wore a mask and said unhurriedly, “I happen to be going to the southern border to look for an herb. I’ll accompany you on the way. Your Highness, do you mind?”
Wei Ting had mentioned to Emperor Jing Xuan that Zhuge Qing was still missing a medicinal herb. He did not mention the exact place, but there was indeed such a thing.
Xiao Shunyang looked at Wei Qing and Wei Ting deeply. “Mr. Zhuge, please help yourself.”
With that, he rode his horse towards Su Xiaoxiao and Li Wan’s carriage.
“Who’s in the carriage?” he asked..
