A sharp, agonizing pain pierced Qin Canglan’s chest.

His throat tightened, “All these years… you’ve suffered so much……”

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t say anything more. She picked up her medicine box and was about to leave.

“Oh, right.” Qin Canglan took out a small stone from his robe, “This belongs to Erhu. He left it with me.”

Su Xiaoxiao took the stone and walked out of the room.

Su Ergou had gone to sleep in Father Su’s room, while the three little ones were in her room, with Wei Ting as well.

The three little ones had napped too much during the day so they were now wide awake, doing somersaults on the bed with whooshing sounds!

“Erhu, your stone,” Su Xiaoxiao handed it to him.

Erhu said, “I gave that to the tall Great-Grandpa!”

Su Xiaoxiao replied, “He asked me to return it to you.”

After thinking for a moment, Erhu said, “Okay then~”

He happily accepted the stone!

He decided that he would give the tall Great-Grandpa a bigger one!

The three little ones called him “Great-Grandpa” not because they knew Qin Canglan’s true identity.

But since Su Cheng had become their ‘Grandpa’, whenever they encountered anyone older in the village, they would naturally call them “Great-Grandpa.”

Old Li Tou was called Great-Grandpa Li, and the Lizheng* was Great-Grandpa Guo…

*Lizheng (里正) : An official position in ancient china, mainly in charge of household registrations and tax payment.

And thanks to his particularly tall figure, Qin Canglan ended up with the special nickname, Tall Great-Grandpa.

“It’s time for bed.” Wei Ting said to the three little ones.

But none of them wanted to sleep.

Su Xiaoxiao turned to Wei Ting, “Come outside for a bit, I need to talk to you.”

The two stepped outside, leaving the door slightly opened.

The rain had stopped.

The air carried the fresh scent of rain mixed with earth and vegetation.

Su Xiaoxiao scratched her head with her chubby little hand and said, “Umm… you probably already know who my father truly is.”

Wei Ting replied calmly, “Su Mo told me.”

His tone was completely composed, as if what Su Mo had said didn’t matter at all to him.

Su Xiaoxiao added, “Also, the man lying in Ergou’s room… is Qin Canglan.”

Wei Ting: “……”

A flicker of killing intent flashed in Wei Ting’s eyes.

Su Xiaoxiao stared at him without blinking. That was such a strong hostility, the grudge must be deep.

“Are you angry?” she asked.

“No……” Wei Ting instinctively denied it.

Then after a pause, he added, “Not at you. It’s an old grudge between the elders, it has nothing to do with you.”

This little girl had never eaten a single grain of rice from either the Marquis of Zhenbei’s household or the Duke’s estate. What did their feuds have to do with her?

Su Xiaoxiao made a soft sound in agreement. She didn’t feel all that connected to them either.

She was just a wandering soul from another world. She accepted Father Su and Su Ergou because they were her family who depended on each other.

It would be nice if the Qin and Su families treated them well. If not, she could simply cut ties.

No matter what happened, she would support this family.

Under the night sky, Su Xiaoxiao looked at him quietly, “Can I ask… what exactly happened between the Wei family and the Qin-Su families?”

After some hesitation, Wei Ting then said in a low voice, “Back when the late emperor was still alive, he hadn’t named a crown prince. All the princes fought for the throne. The Wei family supported the eldest prince, Prince of Nanyang. The Su family supported Prince of Ruyang. At first, the Qin family remained neutral, but after marrying into the Su family, they also became supporters of the Prince of Ruyang.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “That sounds like…… each family has chosen their own side.”

The way she spoke was nothing like a village girl, no matter how long Wei Ting spent around her, this would always surprise him.

Though he had taught her some characters, he had never taught her how to speak with such clarity or principles.

“Who ended up becoming the emperor?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

“Prince of Ruyang.” Wei Ting replied.
