Chapter 531: Dahu and Wuhu

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Dahu woke up halfway through his sleep. He avoided Qin Canglans wound and climbed out of bed.

He put on his shoes, took out the big date hidden in his pocket, and tiptoed next door.

The door to the next room was ajar.

He poked a small head in. Uncle? Are you there?

The only response was Xiaohus even snoring.

He held the door frame and crossed the threshold on his short legs, carefully protecting his jujube.

Uncle.

He called out again.

In the middle of the bed was his sleeping brother.

Apart from that, the room was empty.

Dahu grabbed the big date, his small figure confused and lonely.

Why did Uncle always make it difficult for Dahu to find him?

He could not bear to eat the big dates he had especially left for his uncle.

Dahu.

Su Xiaoxiao walked in.

Dahu turned around; his innocent gaze made ones heart ache.

Su Xiaoxiao picked him up. Whats wrong?

Uncle is missing, Dahu said.

Wei Liulang said that Wei Ting was disobedient, but wasnt he the same?

He was still injured.

Is Dahu very sad? Su Xiaoxiao asked softly.

Dahu grabbed the date and lowered his head. A little. Dahu is only a little sad.

Su Xiaoxiao gently pressed the little guys head and let him lean into her arms. Then can I accompany Dahu?

Yes. Dahu nodded and leaned into Su Xiaoxiaos warm arms. Does Uncle not like Dahu?

Su Xiaoxiao said, No, he likes you very much. He just has something he has to do.

Is it an adult thing?

Yes.

Will he come back? Dahu asked.

I guess, Su Xiaoxiao said.

Dahu fell asleep in Su Xiaoxiaos arms.

Su Xiaoxiao called for Su Ergou to help her carry the three sleeping little fellows into the carriage to the Marquis of Zhenbei.

Perhaps because she had been too tired these few days, she hugged Dahu and Erhu and fell asleep in the carriage.

She had a nightmare. She dreamed that Su MO fell off the cliff with serious injuries and hit a sharp rock. His chest was pierced Su Xiaoxiao opened her eyes.

Sister, were here. Su Ergou carried Xiaohu and glanced at her. He asked, Sister, whats wrong?

Su Xiaoxiao instantly calmed down. Im fine. It was just a dream.

Su Ergou asked curiously, A good dream or a nightmare?

Su Xiaoxiao said, Not a good dream.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. It was indeed something Su Cheng would say.

The two of them carried the three little ones to the Old Marquis and Matriarch Sus courtyard.

When she pa.s.sed by the study, she heard Su Yuan discussing Su MO with the Old Marquis.

Su Yuan said, None of the hummingbirds that were released have returned. Moer is probably in danger.

The Old Marquis frowned and said, Is that forest really so strange that even birds cant come out?

Father, Ill go look for Moer.

No, the Divine Bow Camp hasnt been built yet. You have a mission and cant leave your post. Ill go to His Majesty and beg him to allow me to leave the capital.

Officials in the capital, especially generals, were not allowed to leave the capital on their own. They had to have official doc.u.ments or Emperor Jing Xuans permission. Otherwise, once they were caught, they would be punished for treason.

As the two of them were talking, a eunuch from the palace came from outside.

It turned out that Emperor Jing Xuan had issued a decree ordering the Old Marquis, Su Shuo, to go to the peach forest to help Xiao Zhonghua guard the entrance.

The Old Marquis said, The peach forest is dangerous. I heard that the two princes also entered the peach forest

Eunuch Quan smiled. Theres no need for Marquis Zhenbei to worry. General Leng will protect the two princes.

General Leng was Leng Zhiruos father.

Lord Wuan had personally promoted the general. After the Wei familys accident, he took over the Wei familys infantry and Divine Bow Camp.

The Old Marquis did not say anything else. He put on his armor and brought his weapons to the peach forest.

Su Xiaoxiao also came out of the two elders courtyard.

Just as she reached the door, she b.u.mped into Madam Tao, who had offered incense to the ancestral tablets.

Mdm Taos eyes were red.

Auntie, Su Xiaoxiao greeted.

Daya, its you Madam Tao smiled with tears in her eyes. Its so late. Do you still want to go back? Just rest at the residence. The house has been tidied up for you.

She really treated Su Xiaoxiao as a girl in her residence. A room was prepared for Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao rejected politely. Thank you, Auntie. I still have to go back to the

Imperial Astronomy Center. Ill come back another day to disturb you.

Madam Tao said, What are you talking about? Youre treating me like an outsider.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled.

Madam Tao asked with concern, How are Uncles injuries?

Su Xiaoxiao said truthfully, Hes getting better. He should be able to return to the residence after recuperating for a few days.

Madam Tao felt relieved. Thats good, thats good!

The two families were close, and Madam Tao was sincerely filial to Qin Canglan.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her slightly red eyes and asked, Aunt, are you worried about Eldest Cousin?

Madam Tao sighed and said, Its a lie to say that Im not worried, but Ive actually gotten used to it over the years. Its not easy to be the wife of the Generals Manor. The world envies me for my glory, but they dont know that I have to be afraid for my husband and children every day. I worry about them being ignorant and incomDetent. If thev are too outstanding. I worrv about them entering the military camp too early.. Their lives dont belong to me.

They belong to the Great Zhou and the commoners and the Imperial Court. Madam Tao had hidden these words in her heart for a long time.

She looked at Su Xiaoxiao and smiled awkwardly. I spoke too much today. Dont take it to heart.

Su Xiaoxiao said, I think its quite good.

This was the interaction with female elders. There was some nagging, but there was also warmth and family.

Madam Tao pulled Su Xiaoxiaos hand and gently touched her temple. She smiled and said, You child.

Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!

Su Xiaoxiao asked strangely, Whos talking?

Its the Wuhu Madam Tao clenched her fists. What nonsense did Little Five teach again?

The three little ones came to the residence to stay for a while. They brought the foal and the mystic wind parrot.

Since Su Li had nothing to do, he went to teach the parrot how to speak.

But what good things could he teach?

Madam Taos hand itched again. Daya, I have something on. Ill go first. I wont send you off.

She wanted to beat up that itchy young brat!

Su Xiaoxiao was about to leave when she suddenly heard the mystic wind parrot say, Peach forest! Peach forest! Peach forest!

Su Xiaoxiao stopped in her tracks.

Because the parrot had been too noisy recently, it was placed in the greenhouse at night.

Su Xiaoxiao entered the greenhouse and looked at the parrot that was not sleeping in the middle of the night. What did you just say? The black phoenix parrot said, Stupid! Stupid! Stupid.

Su Xiaoxiao took out her dagger!

The mystic wind parrot panicked and plopped in the birdcage. Long live the cult master! Long live the cult master! Long live the cult master!

Su Xiaoxiaos almond-shaped eyes widened. Was this a parrot from the White Lotus Society?!

Su Xiaoxiao took the black cloth and covered the birdcage. The mystic wind parrot said, Its so dark! So dark!

Su Xiaoxiao said, Ill stew you if you make any more noise!

The mystic wind parrot instantly cowered.

Su Xiaoxiao carried the birdcage out of the Duke Mansion, got on the horse, and hung it on the saddle. The parrot whispered, Its so dark

Su Xiaoxiao was speechless..
