184 Investigating the Truth (1)
Su Ergou was also sleepy.
Su Xiaoxiao carried Xiaohu over.
The poor Xiaohu only saw his uncle before he fell asleep and did not know that his mother had carried him all the way.
After getting into the carriage, Su Ergou tilted his head and fell asleep.
Wei Ting had to drive, so he couldn’t carry the children, and Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t carry three by herself.
Su Xiaoxiao was thinking of a solution when she saw Wei Ting take out a blanket that had been placed in the car.
He spread the blanket flat on the floor of the compartment. “Put them there.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Let them sleep… on the ground?”
“Yes.” Wei Ting was very calm.
The blanket was thick and soft. It didn’t look like the children would catch a cold.
Su Xiaoxiao thought about it and gently put the three little ones on it. She sat down on the blanket herself in case the carriage jolted and the children rolled around.
“Is this how you used to travel?” She asked.
She had hired the carriage, but she had not prepared the blanket. Looking at Wei Ting’s familiar manner, it was obvious that this was not the first time.
“Sometimes,” Wei Ting said.
He waved the whip, and the wheels began to turn.
Su Xiaoxiao touched the collars of the three little guys. They were not sweating.
“Wei Ting,” she said. “It turns out that there was a Su Family Village in the East City many years ago. After that, there was a disaster and the people in that village fled.”
Wei Ting said, “Are you suspecting that your father is from the Su Family Village?”
Wei Ting had long heard about Su Cheng being reduced to a cowherd in Willow Village.
Su Xiaoxiao said bluntly, “A little.”
Wei Ting did not say anything else.
… .
The next day, Su Xiaoxiao went to visit Shen Chuan.
Shen Chuan’s condition was much better than before. It was obvious that he had worked hard to adapt to life in the prefecture academy. He was a tenacious person.
After lunch, the group went back to Apricot Flower Town by carriage.
When they arrived in town, it was already late at night. Su Xiaoxiao decided to visit Aunt Fu tomorrow.
The two carriages arrived at the village one after another and stopped in front of Little Su’s house.
Su Xiaoxiao woke Su Ergou up and got off the carriage with Wei Ting.
Su Xiaoxiao said to Xiaowu, “Xiaowu, you can go back first. I’ll take the carriage to town tomorrow and return it.”
Xiaowu nodded. “Alright, Boss. I’ll take my leave first.”
“Sister, I’m going in too.” Su Ergou was extremely confused.
“Go to Father’s room.” Su Xiaoxiao reminded him.
“Oh.” Su Ergou seemed to be in a daze as he slowly walked into Father Su’s room.
Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting also carried the children back to the house.
Wei Ting led the horse to the backyard. The carriage was too big and could only be placed at the door.
In ancient times, it was fine to sit in a carriage for a while or two, but a long journey like this was really tiring.
After washing up, Su Xiaoxiao lay on the bed, unable to lift a finger.
She was still a fatty. She had so much fat that she was earthquake-resistant. Wei Ting and the other thin people would probably feel even worse.
“Wei Ting, yes, yes, yes…”
“When we have money in the future, we must build roads first. We don’t want bumpy dirt roads. We want flat cement roads. You don’t know how smooth and satisfying it is to race on that road…”
Wei Ting did not hear a single word clearly. Then, a certain someone’s small nose emitted even breathing.
Wei Ting looked at the three children sleeping soundly on the bed. Perhaps it was because they had been together for a long time, but they even looked the same when they slept.
A complicated look flashed across Wei Ting’s eyes.
His leg injury had healed, and he had obtained the Commander’s Seal and the items from the prefecture capital. It was time… to consider returning to the capital.

Father Su was woken up by the three little fellows.
“Grandpa.”
Dahu lay on the bed and called to him.
“Grandpa!”
“Grandpa!”
Erhu and Xiaohu also came over.
Father Su’s eyes lit up. “Eh? You’re back? Dahu! Erhu! Xiaohu!”
The three of them had dark expressions.
Xiaohu pointed at himself and then at his two brothers beside him. “It’s Xiaohu, Dahu, Erhu! Grandpa, you’re mistaken again!”
...
“Ahem! I forgot to count the hair swirls.” Su Cheng coughed lightly and asked, “Where’s your mother?”
“The kitchen, making pancakes,” said Erhu.
Dahu pushed a small box in front of him. “Mother bought it.”
Did his daughter buy him a gift again?
Father Su picked it up and weighed it in his hand.
Oh, it was quite heavy.
Not tea leaves.
Well, he hadn’t finished the tea leaves that were bought the last time.
Father Su opened the box curiously and realized that there was an exquisite white jade hair crown inside.
Mr. Su was not a cultured man. When he was young, he was a cowherd. When he grew up, he became a bully. Even when he was a bodyguard, he had never worn such a fancy thing.
