Chapter 269: The Truth (1)

Qin Canglan also came over today.

He originally wanted to enter the palace to meet the emperor, but after thinking about it, he felt that there were too many misunderstandings. He had to explain it to the little fat granddaughter.

Su Xiaoxiao was acting so fiercely in the Protector Duke’s Estate and thought that Qin Canglan was here to settle the score. Unexpectedly, Qin Canglan did not mention that she had framed Qin Che.

“Did your father go out with Ergou?”

Qin Canglan asked.

As Su Xiaoxiao kneaded the dough, she said, “Oh, my father, Dahu, and the others went to play with the foal. Ergou went to buy flour.”

Qin Canglan sat on the small stool behind the stove and added some firewood from time to time.

He hesitated for a moment and said awkwardly, “I came to tell you that I have nothing to do with Madam Ruan.”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “You mean the night you were drunk?”

“You…” Qin Canglan thought that he was straightforward enough, but he did not expect this girl to be even more straightforward than him.

He frowned. “The old monkey told you?”

“No!” Su Xiaoxiao decided not to sell out the Old Marquis.

However, Qin Canglan was not stupid. Other than Su Shuo, there was no one else in the world who could tell her about these past events.

Qin Canglan gritted his teeth in anger.

He would cut off that Su fellow sooner or later!

“I did drink too much that night and fainted. When I woke up, I was indeed lying on her bed… But I… definitely didn’t touch her.”

He was a man and knew very well if he had touched a woman.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Oh.”

Qin Canglan looked at her nervously. “Do you… believe me or not?”

He didn’t care how others wronged him. But he cared what the children thought.

“I believe you,” Su Xiaoxiao said.

This was the first person to say that she believed him. Qin Canglan was so touched that he almost cried.

In the next second, he heard Su Xiaoxiao say seriously, “A man can’t have s.e.x when he’s drunk. If he can, it means that he’s not ridiculously drunk. He must be conscious and remember what he did. If he doesn’t remember anything when he wakes up the next day, he must have been drunk. In that case, how can he still keep it up?”

“Cough, cough, cough!”

Qin Canglan choked until his face turned red.

In the front courtyard, Wei Ting, who had just entered with a wine jar, paused.

Su Xiaoxiao continued, “Some people have watched too much drama. Do they really think men can do that when they’re drunk? Those men were all pretending! They act with the help of alcohol and say, ‘I drank too much last night. I didn’t expect it to turn out like this. Don’t worry, I’ll be responsible for you’!”

Su Xiaoxiao grabbed the kitchen knife and chopped it on the chopping board!

“If I meet such a man, I’ll chop off his tool!”

Wei Ting threw the wine jar out in a second…

Qin Canglan did not stay in Pear Blossom Lane for long.

No matter whose son Qin Che was, he was not his. He could not allow Qin Che to continue occupying Su Cheng’s ident.i.ty.

Now that the truth was unknown, there were still many things he needed to do.

Su Xiaoxiao placed the kneaded dough into the alms bowl and woke up. “I think you can go see Qin Hai.”

Qin Canglan was puzzled. “How do you know this name?”

Su Xiaoxiao patted the flour on her hand. “I’ve met him twice. Although Qin Che isn’t your son,… he looks so similar to you. Have you never suspected anything?”

Qin Cang trembled. “You mean…’

This year, there was especially a lot of rain in the capital in spring. It had just rained two days ago, and lightning began to flash and thunder at night.

Qin Hai had just come out of the gambling den and had forgotten to bring an umbrella. Looking at the unpredictable weather, he frowned.

He hurriedly ran towards his carriage.

As soon as he lifted the curtain, a hole seemed to have been torn in the sky, and heavy rain fell.

“Fortunately, I ran fast!”

He smiled proudly, dusted his wide sleeves, and sat down on the stool.

Then, with a thud, he fell from the chair!

“Brother?” d.a.m.n it!

Why was his brother in the carriage?

It scared him to death!

Qin Canglan was like a demon, his eyes gathering endless killing intent. “You still know that I’m your brother!”

Qin Hai broke out in cold sweat and swallowed his saliva. He got up in fear and was far away from his brother. He almost sat outside.

He asked nervously, “Brother, what are you doing? Haven’t you been feeling unwell recently… recuperating in the residence? Why… why are you… here for me…

Qin Canglan said coldly, “What have you done? You’d better tell me the truth!”
