“Well then, I’m leaving too, as I’ve got things to do at home.”

Qin Canglan: “…”

Su Mo bowed and cupped his hands towards Qin Canglan, “This junior takes his leave.”

The two walked out one after another. Qin Canglan let out a helpless chuckle.

“This girl……”

In the small garden, Su Mo said to Su Xiaoxiao, “The main gate is that way.”

“I know.” Su Xiaoxiao kept walking in the opposite direction.

Su Mo frowned.

“Where are you going?”

Su Xiaoxiao carefully wrapped a white hair in a handkerchief and said, “To Qin Che’s courtyard!”

Su Mo looked at the strand in her hand with suspicion. “That’s…”

“Qin Canglan’s hair.” Su Xiao Xiao said.

Well, now she wasn’t calling him Grandfather anymore.

Truly, she just used people and once they were used, she just tossed them aside.

Su Mo shook his head.

“And what do you want Granduncle’s hair for?”

Su Xiaoxiao replied, “You’ll find out soon enough!”

While speaking, the two trailed Qin Che all the way to his courtyard.

Qin Che had just sat down when two shadows appeared silently at his doorway.

His gaze turned cold. “What are you doing here?”

Before his identity was exposed, Qin Che had gotten along well with Su Mo. But who could have expected that the Su family would stab him in the back?

Now, whenever Qin Che looked at Su Mo, he would find everything about him more and more displeasing.

Su Mo was cold by nature.

His dutifulness and respect toward Qin Che were merely out of obligation to their status.

As for how Qin Che looked at him, he couldn’t care less.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly. “Let's take pleasure in other’s misfortune and add insult to injury.”

Qin Che gritted his teeth. “Don’t be too pleased with yourself! You can’t hide the truth forever. One day, your true colors will be exposed!”

Su Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow.

“Oh, do you mean the way I framed you today? Pfft, do you really think the old Duke didn’t see right through my act? And yet, didn’t he still throw you out?”

Qin Che’s gaze trembled with shock.

Su Xiaoxiao spoke arrogantly, “He’s biased toward me. He couldn’t bear to expose me. What can you do about it?”

Qin Che trembled with rage.

Killing a person was a mere matter of lopping off their head, and yet this girl…… she insisted on stabbing at his heart instead!

The more miserable Qin Che became, the happier Su Xiaoxiao felt.

She strolled up to him, raised her chubby little hand, and patted his shoulder lightly.

“Stolen wealth and glory would never last. Just get ready, the day to repay your debts has begun.”

Qin Che lashed out, swinging his hand toward her.

But Su Mo, who had been on guard all along, stepped in swiftly and caught his wrist.

Meanwhile, Su Xiaoxiao quietly slipped a strand of hair into her sleeve. She dusted her sleeve casually, smiled faintly, and said,

“I’ll take my leave. Who knows… the next time I see you, will I still be calling you… Duke Protector?”

Qin Che was absolutely furious!

…

Sitting inside Su Mo’s carriage, Su Xiaoxiao was in excellent spirits.

She opened a jar of walnuts.

Hmmm, fresh ones, big and whole.

She tossed one into her mouth, humming a little tune with her cheeks puffed out, bobbing her head to the rhythm.

The sight reminded Su Mo of the three little ones back at the courtyard.

Indeed, after spending so much time together, even her small gestures and expressions were exactly in sync with theirs.

Someone who didn’t know better might assume they were her biological children.

Thinking of the three kids made Su Mo remember something important.

“Biaomei*.” he began,

“There’s actually a marriage pact between the Duke Protector’s estate and the royal family. It was arranged back when the late emperor was alive. Because Granduncle never had a daughter, it was passed down to the next generation.”

If Biaomei’s identity were restored… wouldn’t that mean she was destined to marry the Third Prince as his consort?

*Biaomei (表妹) : Younger female cousin via female line (mother’s side).

Compared to Wei Xichao (Wei Ting’s name, used here formally), the Third Prince was indeed more acceptable to both families.

But Su Mo had never dared tell the family that this girl’s ‘husband’ that she dragged back with her was none other than the youngest son of the Wei family.
