Chapter 304: His Background

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When they came out of the palace, it was already dusk.

...

The evening breeze carried a hint of coldness.

Su MO stood quietly beside the carriage at the entrance of the palace in a silver cloak.

The daughters walked out one after another and could not help but size him up.

The eldest son of the Su family was well-versed in both civil and military matters. He was elegant like jade and came from a noble background. He was deeply valued by the emperor. Which girl in the world did not want to marry such a husband?

The daughters blushed.

Su Xiaoxiao slowly walked behind everyone.

Suddenly, a young lady fell a few steps behind and took the initiative to strike up a conversation with her. “Miss Qin, how did you do today?”

“My surname is Su,” Su Xiaoxiao said.

“Ah.” The young lady was stunned.

Su Xiaoxiao had no intention of building a relationship with others and walked over calmly.

Not long after, another daughter came over. “Miss Su, this is your first time in the palace, right? You played well today. I heard that you almost won.”

“You seem to have been watching Qin Yanran’s chess game the entire time, right?”

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at her and noticed her red cheeks and flickering eyes.

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Su MO again and understood.

Could it be that they were trying to use her?

Seven or eight daughters came over and chatted enthusiastically with Su Xiaoxiao. Those who didn’t know better would think that Su Xiaoxiao was some new favorite.

Su Xiaoxiao came to Su Mo.

The daughters greeted Su MO shyly. “Young Master Su.”

Su MO returned the greeting politely. He was not cold, but he was not too enthusiastic. He retained the self-restraint that a descendant of an aristocratic family should have.

“Get in,” Su MO said to Su Xiaoxiao.

He turned around, lifted the curtain, and reached out to help Su Xiaoxiao into the carriage.

Not far away, Qin Yanran saw that Su MO had no qualms about being close to Su Xiaoxiao. She could not help but clench the handkerchief in her hand.

When she was Su MO’s cousin, Su MO never crossed the line.

Strictly speaking, this was not overstepping. The two families were relatives, to begin with. Su MO took care of Su Xiaoxiao as a sibling would and did not mix anything else.

However, the more this was the case, the more Qin Yanran felt a huge difference.

So Su MO could treat someone like this. He could ignore the rules, and his status, and be fearless of gossip. “Miss, get in the car.”

Xu Qing’s voice came from behind.

Qin Yanran looked at the Su family’s carriage and muttered, “Has Young Master Su been waiting outside the palace and never left?” “Yes,” Xu Qing said. Qin Yanran felt a little aggrieved. “Is she that good?” Xu Qing did not answer.

In the carriage, Su MO handed Su Xiaoxiao a water bag.

Su Xiaoxiao was indeed thirsty.

“Thanks.” She took it and gulped it down.

Su MO looked at her eating and drinking whenever she wanted and was never worried about destroying her image. He couldn’t help but laugh. “Is there no water in the palace?”

Su Xiaoxiao sighed. “Yes, but is that for people to drink? It’s for show, right?”

She was only brought a small cup at a time. The other daughters only took a small sip to moisten their throats before putting it back. She drank them all, but it was not enough to quench her thirst.

Su MO smiled. “Drink slowly. There’s more.”

Su Xiaoxiao agreed. “Yes.”

Su MO asked, “What did you have to do in the selection?”

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment. “Qin, chess, calligraphy… chess.”

Su MO opened a jar of walnuts. “How did you do?”

Su Xiaoxiao grabbed a walnut. “Not bad.”

Su MO remarked, “You’re not telling the truth.”

After Su MO sent Su Xiaoxiao back to Pear Blossom Lane, he went to deal with the official matters that had been delayed during the day.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t say anything, but she understood.

It was not that Su MO really had nothing to do. He was worried that something would happen to her the first time he entered the palace. This way, he could rush over immediately.

Su Xiaoxiao picked up the three little ones.

The three little ones had a very happy day. In the morning, they learned the zither, in other words, torturing their master and in the afternoon, they went to the orchard, in other words, torturing their master.

In order to express their liking for their master, they went to their house to bring the foal over after returning from the orchard. Together with the foal, they continued to torture their master.

“Goodbye, Master!”

“Goodbye, Master!”

“Goodbye, Master!”

The three little ones in the courtyard waved at Ling Yun. Ling Yun didn’t even have the strength to slam the door.

He was hungry…

He only wanted to eat..

Su Ergou had also returned from the Imperial College. Su Cheng had been captured by Qin Canglan and the Old Marquis to be locked up and trained. He still did not return tonight.

Su Xiaoxiao seriously suspected that the two of them were fighting to be Su Cheng’s father.

Su Xiaoxiao stewed taro braised pork, steamed shrimp balls, fried chives and eggs, and stir-fried two plates of vegetables.

The taro was smooth and tender. The three little ones liked it very much.

Xiaohu held the bowl and chopsticks and raised his head. He said childishly, “I still want to eat tomorrow!”

Su Xiaoxiao asked in amusement, “What do you want to eat?”

Xiaohu said seriously, “Potato! Meat!”

“What about Dahu and Erhu?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Dahu was basically not picky about food. Other than the bitter ones, he ate everything.

“Candied hawthorn,” Erhu said.

Xiaohu hurriedly said, “Xiaohu also wants candied hawthorn! Many, many, a hundred candied hawthorns!”

Dahu nodded. He wanted a hundred too.

Su Xiaoxiao said sternly, “I want to ask about proper meals… Don’t go astray!”

After dinner, the three little ones went to the courtyard to play while Su Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Su Ergou walked in, looking like he had something to say.

“Sister.”

He said gloomily.

“What’s wrong?” Su Xiaoxiao looked up at him and asked, “Ah, did you receive a new order? How many? I’ll do it tomorrow.” “No…” Su Ergou said, “Ah, there’s an order. I’m…”

“What do you want to say?” Su Xiaoxiao asked softly.

Su Ergou whispered, “Just… at the Directorate today, someone called me Little High Duke.”

What was inevitable would eventually come.

From the moment she decided to send Su Ergou to school, his background was destined to be exposed.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Do you want to be a Little High Duke?”

Su Ergou asked, “Am I still your brother after I become one? Am I still Dad’s son? If not, I won’t want to be a Little High Duke.”

Su Xiaoxiao teased him, “Aren’t you going to make endless snacks and money?” Su Ergou shook his head like a rattle drum. “If I’m with Dad and Sister, I can go hungry.”

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “I said I wouldn’t let you go hungry again.”

Su Ergou said gloomily, “Sister, I’ll eat less in the future. Don’t give me to others. ”

Did this little silly boy think that she was going to send him into someone else’s house to be a son?

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She finally understood why he had a dejected expression from the moment he entered.

“Ergou, it’s time to tell you something.”

“What?”

“I didn’t tell you about Dad’s background before because I still had some considerations. However, I realized that I might have been wrong. This decision shouldn’t be made by me alone. I shouldn’t have treated you as a child. You have the right to choose your family.”

Su Ergou listened obediently and cried in fear. “Sister, I… I’m really not our child, right? I was picked up from the streets?”

Tears streamed down his face.

He did not want to be the young master of a rich family.. He only wanted be with his sister and his father…
