Su Xiaoxiao was too tired and slept until the afternoon.
In a daze, she vaguely felt someone was staring at her fiercely.
But when she thought about it, she felt that it would be impossible. Everyone at home spoiled her, so it would be impossible for someone to glare at her.
Well, it must be an illusion.
She rolled over and continued sleeping.
Wei Ting, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed and stared at her all day: “……”
In the evening, the three little ones went out to walk the little foal, and Su Ergou followed closely.
Father Su moved a small stool and sat in the front yard, working on some bamboo strips that Zhong Shan had prepared for him.
The stips had been treated to remove its moisture, so it became dry yet resilient.
When he was young, he could not get enough food just by herding cattle for others, so he also learned some other skills.
Sometimes by secretly studying books, sometimes by doing housework for people, sometimes exchanging labor for a meal.
His daughter's basket was worn out, so he wanted to make a new one for her.
They were also sold in the market, but they were expensive and not as sturdy and durable as the ones he made.
Most importantly, the medicine box was also placed in his daughter’s basket, which made the basket have a different layout from ordinary baskets.
It had been many years since the last time he wove a basket, so he was a bit rusty, and accidentally cut his palm twice.
He didn’t even frown, and continued weaving once the blood dried.
As he continued to weave, he gradually got into rhythm, and his movements became more smoother and quicker.
Su Yuan lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw Su Cheng, who was burying his head in weaving a bamboo basket.
His heart ached, and he turned to look at the frail old man beside him, “Father……”
Old Marquis had woken up an hour ago, and this time he didn’t immediately fall asleep again, as he was quite clear-headed.
His first thing he said was to ask where they were.
After learning their current residence from Su Mo, he disregarded the objections of Su Yuan, Su Mo, and Doctor Fu, and rushed over with his frail body.
Su Mo and Su Yuan tried to support him.
The Old Marquis waved them off, insisting that could walk on his own.
The father and son didn’t dare to go against him, fearing that he would faint again if he got angered.
The Old Marquis had spent his entire life in the military, and his training was not in vain.
His recent comas were largely due to poison. Now that most of the toxins had been almost cleared, he wasn’t instantly lively but could still manage a few steps.
He slowly approached Su Cheng.
Su Cheng was focused on weaving, but he suddenly senses a shadow over his head.
Feeling a little annoyed, he looked up and saw that it was an old man.
He quickly suppressed his irritability and asked, “Who are you?”
The Old Marquis stared at Father Su who looked so much like his younger sister, and his emotions couldn’t be suppressed.
“You…… are you Su Cheng?”
He asked in a trembling voice.
“Yeah, I am.” Su Cheng stretched his long legs. Being tall, sitting on a small stool wasn’t very comfortable.
The old marquis trembled as he extended his hand.
Su Cheng instinctively leaned back, looking at him strangely, “What do you want?”
So similar……
Just like him…… and also like his younger sister……
But there was still one last thing to confirm.
“Can you… show me your butt?”
Su Cheng’s body trembled. He glared angrily, leapt up and smacked the old marquis across the face!
The Old Marquis fell to the ground but still finished his sentence with difficulty, “The birthmark……”
At the end of the sentence, the Old Marquis’s eyes darkened, his head tilted, and he passed out!
Su Cheng: “……”
——
Fifteen minutes later, Su Xiaoxiao, who was forcibly awakened, came out of Su Cheng’s room yawning.
She glanced at Su Yuan, who looked anxious, Su Mo, who appeared serious, and Su Cheng, who looked slightly embarrassed.
“He’s fine, just asleep. He will wake up soon.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
