Chapter 1078: Gathering of Big Bosses

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After Wei Xu and his sons returned home openly, the Wei family went around majestically.

The Wei family was all handsome and unrestrained. From Wei Xu to Wei Ting, none of them were ugly.

The commoners along the street were feasting their eyes, wishing that the Wei family could come out and blow up the streets every day.

Madam Wei sat in the carriage as sunlight shone in through the half-open

She had not left the house like this for a long time.

The streets were still the same, but her mood was very different.

Wei Xu held her hand.

Wei Ting casually glanced at his parents.

Madam Wei happened to be looking at her son.

Their eyes met. She blushed and was about to pull her hand back. Wei Xu did not let go. He reached out with his other arm and lowered the curtain.

Wei Ting, who had suddenly witnessed his parents public display of affection, was speechless.

There was cla.s.s at the Directorate, so Su Ergou went to cla.s.s while Su Cheng was at home.

He had just washed the three little fellows’ hair.

The three of them ran away happily without waiting to dry their hair.

Su Cheng said, “Your clothes will be wet again later!”

Su Xiaoxiao walked over. “It’s fine, Dad. It’s hot. Just change their clothes later.” That was the only way.

It had only been five months since they last met, but the three little fellows had become even naughtier and their legs were faster. They often disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Su Cheng gestured down. “When they first arrived at home, they were so small and couldn’t run fast. They fell all over one another.”

Su Xiaoxiao recalled the scene of the three little ones falling and couldn’t help but laugh.

Time pa.s.sed so quickly. In the blink of an eye, they were four years old.

Su Xiaoxiao said to Su Cheng, “Dad, Father-in-law and Mother-in -law will come over later. I’ll make some snacks.”

“There’s a chef at the residence. Rest for a while.” Su Cheng could not bear to let his precious daughter carry the pregnant woman to the kitchen on such a hot day.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “It’s good for the body to move.” Su Cheng looked at his daughter suspiciously. “Really?”

“Yeah.”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded.

His daughter was a physcian and should know more than him.

Su Cheng hesitated and said, “Then… Alright, don’t do everything yourself. Let them help you.”

“Got it, Dad.”

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and went to the kitchen.

She really needed to move. Her appet.i.te had been too good recently, and she had gained weight.

Pregnancy weight had to be controlled within a reasonable range. It was good for both herself and the baby.

The kitchen of the Protectorate was big enough. The north and south were clear, and the surrounding trees sheltered the sun. Even the wind was cold.

Su Xiaoxiao hadn’t made Ergou pancakes for a long time. Today, she made three flavors—red bean meat floss, green bean meat floss, and dried plum vegetables.

She also made sour plum soup and rose wine to go with the pancakes.

The sour plum soup was the favorite of the three little packrats, and the rose wine was the favorite of Cheng Sang and Mei Ji.

Then, Su Xiaoxiao went to the pharmacy to get ice. Not long after, bowls of iced sweet soup were out.

When she came out of the kitchen, she saw Ling Yun and the three little ones waiting at the door.

The four of them moved the stools and sat in a row, looking like they were obediently waiting to be fed.

Su Xiaoxiao asked the maidservant to bring out a small table and placed it in front of the four of them.

She placed a plate of each of the three flavors of Ergou pancakes and brought them out.

Although she knew the tastes of the three little fellows, she still asked, “What do you want to drink? There is sour plum soup and rose brew.”

Ling Yun and the three small ones replied, “Sour plum soup!”

Su Xiaoxiao brought out the chilled sour plum soup with some dried fruits and peanuts.

The three little ones lowered their heads and slurped.

Ling Yun was their master. He could not lose to three little evil disciples.

The scene was too beautiful to look at.

Wei Ting brought his parents and brothers to see Su Cheng. His brothers had been here before, and this was the first time Wei Xu and Madam Wei had visited.

Cheng Sang and Zongzheng Wei were also there.

Su Cheng already knew that he was the King of the Southern Wilderness, but this did not affect his filial piety to the Zongzheng Wei.

He purely admired Zongzheng Wei’s character and was definitely not impressed by his money ability!

Madam Wei greeted him. “Your Majesty of the Southern Wilderness.”

Zongzheng Wei hurriedly held the armrest. “Madam Wei, there’s no need to be so polite. I’m just an idle businessman now. Madam, just call me Nalan Yun.” ???ℯ????????.???

He was sincere, but Madam Wei could not really call him by his name and addressed him as Master Nalan instead.

Su Cheng and Wei Xu also greeted each other.

The two of them hit it off at first sight.

Su Cheng had heard a lot about Wei Xu and admired him. He was even more excited to see Wei Xu than his old father.

Unexpectedly, Wei Xu was also very excited to see him.

“It’s all thanks to our in-laws taking in Little Seven, Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu in the countryside. Otherwise, I wonder what would have happened to the children.”

Bully Su coughed lightly. “Ahem, it’s fate!”

Wei Xu said sincerely, “In-law raised the two children very well. It’s all thanks to Xiaoxiao’s credit that the few of us can return to the Wei family safely.”

It was his daughter-in-law who accompanied Little Seven and found them one by one.

His daughter-in-law was the one who exhausted all her strength to treat them.

If they didn’t have his daughter-in-law, they wouldn’t be where they were today.

If it were anyone else who praised him like this, Su Cheng would definitely feel no burden, but this was Wei Xu.

Su Cheng was extremely excited.

In his excitement, he could not help but show off his future father-in-law to

Wei Xu. “His Majesty of the Southern Wilderness!”

Wei Xu couldn’t bear to say to him, “I know. I knew before you did.”

Cheng Sang and Madam Wei both loved gardening. When it came to flowers and plants, the two of them simply regretted not meeting sooner.

Cheng Sang gave Madam Wei many flowers and seeds that she had brought over from the Southern Wilderness.

Madam Wei seemed to have obtained a treasure and gave Cheng Sang the

spices she had concocted.

Cheng Sang sniffed the sachet. “It smells so good. How did you mix it?”

“Do you want to learn?” Madam Wei’s eyes lit up.

“Can I?” Cheng Sang asked.

“Of course!”

Madam Wei finally met someone who was willing to learn perfumery from her. Afraid that Cheng Sang would go back on her word, she quickly pulled her to the room.

Wei Xu turned around.

Where was his wife?

After chatting about private matters, Wei Xu began to tell Su Cheng and Zongzheng Wei about what happened in the morning court.

Zongzheng Wei pondered and said, “The symptoms you mentioned about Emperor Jing Xuan are a little similar to Zongzheng Ming’s.”

Wei Xu was stunned. “Oh?”

Zongzheng Hui said, “Zongzheng Ming would visit me at the abandoned mine every once in a while, but in the last few years, I clearly felt that his personality had become even more extreme. He often found excuses to argue with me. After taking back the throne, I found a kind of medicinal pill he was taking in his bedroom. It’s not a medicinal pill from the Holy Maiden Temple. The medicinal pills from the Holy Maiden Temple is harmless to the body. I don’t know where that medicinal pill came from. There’s no record of it in the Imperial Physician Department.”

Wei Xu asked, “Your Majesty, do you mean that someone used pills to control

Zongzheng Ming?”

Zongzheng Wei said seriously, “I’m not sure if Zongzheng Ming’s increasing extremeness is caused by the pill. If so, Emperor Jing Xuan, whose situation is similar to his, is very likely to be controlled by someone with the pill.” Wei Xu asked, “Does Your Majesty have that pill with you?”

Zongzheng Wei shook his head. “I didn’t bring it, but I remember the appearance and smell of the pill.”

Su Cheng touched his chin.. “I’ll go to the palace tonight and steal a pill!”
