Chapter 496: Smug

The night was hazy, and the water flowed. The shy crescent moon hid in the clouds.
The carriage stopped at Pear Blossom Lane.
The two of them alighted from the carriage one after another with very calm expressions.
The coachman glanced at the couple’s messy hair and wrinkled clothes and silently drove the carriage away.
The two of them entered the courtyard.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at a certain someone’s back as he walked past and stuck back her mustache resentfully.
Look at how he kissed her. Her mustache was coming off.
Who was the person who was afflicted by the Acacia Fragrance?
Su Xiaoxiao followed and glanced at someone. She raised her eyebrows and asked, “Is this your first time?”
“What?” Wei Ting did not react for a moment.
Su Xiaoxiao placed her hands behind her back and said seriously, “The technique needs to be improved!”
With that, under Wei Ting’s suddenly dangerous gaze, she rushed in, closed the door, and inserted the bolt!
Wei Ting’s eyes were sharp.
Su Xiaoxiao leaned against the door and touched her swollen lips. Thinking of his domineering and stubborn attack, her heart raced.
“Is this what it feels like to be with a man…
“Not bad..
She licked the corner of her lips reluctantly and threw herself under the blanket. She hugged the blanket and rolled over.
In the next room, Wei Ting sat down by the window with a cold expression.
His heart was a little hot. He pushed open the window and cold moonlight flowed in.
He poured himself a gla.s.s of cold water and was about to drink it when an indescribable scene flashed across the surface of the gla.s.s. He sneered and quickly put down the gla.s.s.
An hour later, Su Xiaoxiao hugged her pillow and fell asleep in satisfaction.
Wei Ting was in trouble.
He tossed and turned and closed his eyes. Images that he shouldn’t have appeared in his mind uncontrollably.
He ran out to take three cold baths.
Sihu and the mystic wind parrot were woken up by him. They looked at the male owner of the house in confusion.
Did he fall into a feces pit to have taken so many showers in the middle of the night?
In the small courtyard of the Number One Hall, Su Li lay on the hospital bed and counted the stars. “I say… have the two of you forgotten something?”
At dawn, Su Xiaoxiao got out of bed in a good mood.
After washing up, she went to feed Sihu first.
Sihu didn’t drink milk anymore and could just eat gra.s.s, but Su Xiaoxiao felt that it was easier to feed him when it drank milk.
After feeding the Sihu, she went to feed the parrot.
“Strange, didn’t the two of you sleep well? Both of you are listless.”
Sihu almost fell asleep from eating gra.s.s, let alone the mystic wind parrot. It dozed off until it fell off the shelf.
Creak—
Wei Ting’s door opened and he walked out calmly.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and greeted him. “Morning.”
Wei Ting walked over expressionlessly.
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Su Xiaoxiao fed the black parrot a mouthful of bird food and curled her lips. “Why are you pretending to be aloof? You took three cold baths last night. Who didn’t hear you? You clearly took a bath for the entire night…’
Wei Ting staggered—
During breakfast, Wei Ting finally remembered Su Li. He put on his bamboo hat and went to the medical center.
When Su Li saw him, he was furious. “You still know to come back!”
Wei Ting handed him a bag without changing his expression. “I’ll give you the clothes.”
“Hmph ! ”
Su Li glared at Wei Ting angrily and s.n.a.t.c.hed the bag away. After changing

In the Marquis of Zhenbei’s Estate, if he dared not to return all night, from his grandfather to his grandmother, to his parents and brothers, they would have to pull him over and teach him a lesson.
Therefore, he learned to hide for as long as he could if he stayed out late .
However, what was going on with the Guo family?
Surprisingly, no one came to ask him where he had been last night.
“This family is really cold.”
Wei Ting asked Little Weizi to go to the Jing family and gave Jing Yi a bottle of medicine.
Su Xiaoxiao had treated Jing Yi’s injuries before, so no one suspected anything.
Jing Yi opened the medicine bottle. There was a note inside.
In the afternoon, Xiao Zhonghua came to the medical center with the excuse that Dali Temple was investigating a case.
The case of Wei Ting’s a.s.sa.s.sination caused an uproar. The officials of the Dali Temple came to collect evidence once every few days, and the commoners were already used to it.
Jing Yi was guarding the door.
Xiao Zhonghua looked at Wei Ting, who was pretending to be sick at the head of the bed.
“What’s wrong with you?” he asked. “What’s wrong?” Wei Ting asked.
“You…”
Xiao Zhonghua sized Wei Ting up suspiciously. He was still the same person, but he felt that something was different. The smugness between his eyebrows was a little conspicuous.
“Why are you looking for me?”
He asked about serious business.
Wei Ting said calmly, “Seven days later, the White Lotus Society will a.s.sa.s.sinate His Majesty.”
Xiao Zhonghua’s expression changed slightly. “Seven days later is the day Father goes to the Dragon Temple to pray. Is the White Lotus Society planning to attack on the way?
Wei Ting said, “Maybe on the way or near the temple.”
Division Leader Chen did not tell him how it would be done. He only instructed Guo Huan to cooperate with him from the inside. He would naturally know how to do it on that day.
This was not because Division Leader Chen was guarding against Guo Huan. He was purely putting on airs in front of Boss Lin and Guo Huan.
Xiao Zhonghua understood what happened at the gambling den last night and said thoughtfully, “In that case, Division Leader Chen is the main force to a.s.sa.s.sinate my father?”
Wei Ting paused and said, “It’s also possible that Guo Huan has other missions. Division Leader Chen doesn’t know about this and thinks that he’s the only executor.”
From Guo Huan’s status in the White Lotus Society, there was no reason for the Sect Master of the White Lotus Society to trust Division Leader Chen more than Guo Huan.
Xiao Zhonghua asked, “Did you get any information from Guo Huan through the interrogation?”
Wei Ting said, “No.”
Guo Huan was very cunning. After knowing that he had been captured, he actually committed suicide by hitting a pillar when no one was paying attention.
He had been saved, but he had been unconscious.
In the carriage back to the Dali Temple, Jing Yi asked Xiao Zhonghua, “Cousin, what do you plan to do about the a.s.sa.s.sination? Do you want to tell His
Majesty?”
A complicated look flashed across Xiao Zhonghua’s eyes. “Tell Father to cancel the blessing? In that case, the White Lotus Society will definitely suspect that Guo Huan leaked the news. After working hard for so long to infiltrate the
White Lotus Society, Guo Huan can’t be crippled for the time being.”
JingYi said coldly, “He must think so too, so he didn’t tell Father. If anything happens in the future, you’ll be the one to bear the blame! What a cunning guy!’
Xiao Zhonghua smiled. “Jing Yi, you care a lot about him. Is it because I said that he’s very powerful?”
Jing Yi hugged the sword in his arms, his childish face cold. “One day, I will defeat him!”
The blessing this time was huge. Not only was Emperor Jing Xuan going, but the Grand Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress would also go.
In the past, the Empress Dowager would refuse to go with the excuse that she was not feeling well. This time, she did not.
The princes, concubines, princesses, and trusted ministers went with them. As the Empress Dowager’s doctor, Su Xiaoxiao naturally had to accompany her the entire time.
Su Cheng was now the Duke Protector and was also among the group..
