Su Xiaoxiao pushed open the car window. Your Highness Rui, nice to meet you.

Li Wan was wearing a veil, and between her and Su Xiaoxiao sat four children.

The four little kittens licked the candied hawthorn on their faces. They were definitely four little kittens.

However, even if their faces were blurred, it was not difficult to guess their ident.i.ties. After all, triplets were too rare in this world.

As for that young lady and the other woman,

Su Xiaoxiao introduced openly, My second sister-in-law, my niece, and my sons.

Why are they going? Xiao Shunyang asked suspiciously.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, Did His Majesty say that youre not allowed to bring your family?

Of course, Emperor Jing Xuan did not say anything because he did not expect it at all.

Xiao Shunyang said calmly, Its probably inconvenient for Second Madam Wei to travel with the children.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. You dont have to worry about that, Your Highness. Ill take good care of my second sister-in-law and the children.

If Xiao Duye was here, Su Xiaoxiao would definitely say, My sons cant bear to part with me, his mother. They cried and insisted on following me. My heart softened and I agreed, but I cant take care of three children alone. The men cant do anything about such children. I can only ask Second Sister-in-law, who has given birth. Since Second Sister-in-law is here, Xiyue naturally cant fall behind.

However, while Xiao Duye might believe these words, Xiao Shunyang might nnt

In any case, he had to be careful. She might as well not waste her breath. He could think whatever he wanted. What could he do without evidence!

Soon, Xiao Zhonghuas carriage arrived.

Xiao Shunyang looked at King An and Jing Yi, who had alighted from the carriage.

Third Brother, Young Marquis Jing.

He greeted them politely.

Xiao Zhonghua smiled warmly. Im here to send Second Brother off.

Jing Yi didnt cooperate with him at all. He came to Su Xiaoxiaos carriage and said to her, Why didnt you ask me?

Su Xiaoxiao said, Youre still recovering.

JingYi pointed at Wei Tings carriage. Then why can he go? Hes so lousy.

Wei Ting muttered, Kid, what did you say about your father?

Xiao Zhonghua looked at Xiao Shunyang and said, Second Brother, take care.

Xiao Shunyang said, While Im not in the capital, Ill have to trouble Third

Brother to go to Father to be filial.

Xiao Zhonghua smiled. I will. Im just afraid that Father wont be willing to see me, his son.

Xiao Shunyang did not answer.

Ill go say goodbye to my old friend. With that, Xiao Zhonghua went to Su Xiaoxiao. Take care too.

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Xiao Shunyang not far away and smiled. Your

Highness, Ill take him away. Make good use of the opportunity.

Xiao Zhonghua said meaningfully, I will.

Jing Yi came to Xiao Shunyang expressionlessly and looked up at him on the horse. He recommended himself and said, Do you still lack a brother?

Xiao Shunyang was speechless.

And so was Xiao Zhonghua.

Su Xiaoxiao couldnt bring Jing Yi along. Firstly, Jing Yi really needed to recuperate. Secondly, Xiao Shunyang wouldnt be around. This was a good opportunity for Xiao Zhonghua to cause trouble. He needed Jing Yi by his side.

After bidding farewell to Wei Qing and Wei Ting, Xiao Zhonghua brought Jing Yi back. Su Xiaoxiao, Xiao Shunyang, and the others also set off south.

The four little ones woke up early and fell asleep licking their candied hawthorn.

Fortunately, the carriage was s.p.a.cious enough. Su Xiaoxiao and Li Wan arranged the four children and covered them with blankets.

Actually, its not bad to travel out like this Li Wan was a little relaxed. When she realized that her seventh sister-in-law was silent, she turned to look at her and saw Su Xiaoxiao staring at her wrist in a daze.

Seventh Sister-in-law, whats wrong? she asked.

Oh. Su Xiaoxiao came back to her senses. Second Sister-in-law, have you practiced martial arts since you were young?

Yes. Li Wan nodded. I started practicing martial arts when I was three.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, If a persons foundation is damaged and he cant cultivate internal energy anymore, will he still have the chance to practice martial arts?

Li Wan thought for a moment and said, That depends on what this person wants. If its just to strengthen his body and practice some moves, it wont be a problem. However, its basically impossible for him to become an expert. Unless

Unless what? Su Xiaoxiao was curious.

Li Wan said, You have to endure the pain of your bones being sc.r.a.ped and your meridians being broken, but to let a person break your bones inch by inch and tear your meridians one by one So far, no one has been able to do it.

Su Xiaoxiao touched the bracelet and muttered, So its so difficult

She believed that the Head of the Secret Service no longer had any martial arts.

After all, what kind of terrifying obsession did one have to endure such inhumane torture?
