General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming - Chapter 272
Chapter 272: Announcement to the World
His half-brother.
In the beginning, Su Xiaoxiao also guessed that Qin Hai was Qin Che’s biological father.
It was not until she received the test results from the pharmacy that she came to a realization.
There was an explanation for many things that she could not figure out in the past.
For example, why did Qin Che look like he was from the Qin family? Because he was.
For example, why was Mother Qin so merciless to Ruan Xianglian and her son back then?
It was not strange that she did not like Ruan Xianglian, but Qin Che was her biological grandson after all. How could she bear to send her biological grandson away?
It would make sense if he was an illegitimate son born of a love rival.
Mrs. Qin would wish she could kill that little bastard, right?
Of course, the person Mother Qin wanted to kill the most was Ruan Xianglian.
In order to stay in the Qin family, Ruan Xianglian used all kinds of methods. When she failed to seduce the young Qin Canglan, she slept with Mr. Qin, who was in his prime. It would be strange if Mrs. Qin could tolerate her.
Ruan Xianglian caused Su Huayin’s death and suffocated Mother Qin and Qin Canglan’s second wife, but in the end, she could not witness the day her son brought her back to the Qin residence.
It was retribution.
Qin Canglan and Qin Hai supported each other and sat in the carriage back.
The son he had raised for so many years was actually his younger brother.
How could it be reasonable?
To Qin Canglan, the greatest blow had already passed.
In his heart, the most important things were his biological son and two precious grandchildren. At his age, half of his body was already in the grave. He did not know how many more years he could dote on them.
He didn’t want them to suffer anymore.
“I’ll go into the palace for a while,” Qin Canglan said to the dejected Qin Hai. “Go make up for the mess you caused yourself. Tell him his background from the beginning!”
“Why do you want me to say it?” Qin Hai had suffered a huge blow. He was not as decisive and arbitrary as Qin Canglan, nor had he ever had any thoughts about Ruan Xianglian.
He had really admired that woman.
He treated her as his sweetheart, but she slept with his father…
Woah…
Qin Hai wanted to burst into tears…
Su Cheng gave the three little ones a shower and returned to the house to wash up and change into clean clothes.
Su Xiaoxiao helped the three of them put on their clothes. Dahu and Erhu were quite cooperative and Xiaohu slipped away.
He ran to the other side of the bed. A cloth towel was tied around his waist, covering his shy butt.
He ran across the bed.
Children were really not afraid of the cold. It was late March, and the rain was pouring and the wind was strong, but the little children were sweating all over the bed.
Su Xiaoxiao grabbed Xiaohu and wiped his sweat.
When Wei Ting arrived home, Dahu and Erhu went to play with Su Ergou. Only the naked Xiaohu was caught by Su Xiaoxiao in her arms.
“Put it on yourself!” Wei Ting said solemnly.
“No!” Xiaohu turned around and threw himself into Su Xiaoxiao’s arms, throwing his stinky father a butt.
Su Xiaoxiao helped the little guy put on his clothes and sniffed. She asked Wei Ting, “Have you been drinking?”
Wei Ting said without changing his expression, “No.”
Su Xiaoxiao frowned. “But you smell of alcohol.”
Wei Ting’s expression was calm. “Oh, someone accidentally spilled it.”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him suspiciously. “Really? Why don’t I believe you?”
Wei Ting asked coldly, “What do you mean?”
Su Xiaoxiao covered Xiaohu’s ears with both hands and said to Wei Ting, “I thought you wanted to use alcohol to commit certain acts. You wanted to sneak into my room in the middle of the night and do something to me!”
Wei Ting chuckled. “How is that possible? If someone wants to do anything bad, it’s you who wants to do something bad to me.”
As he spoke, he seemed to increase the persuasiveness of his words. “Look at how many times you took off my clothes in the countryside.”
Su Xiaoxiao coughed. “I think so.”
Xiaohu raised his head strangely and looked at his mother, then at his father. He did not understand why his mother was covering his little ears.
Su Xiaoxiao let go. “Your ears are so beautiful.”
Xiaohu tugged at his small ears in agreement and shook his head proudly.
“That’s right. Xiaohu’s ears are especially beautiful!”
The corners of Wei Ting’s mouth twitched.
His gaze inadvertently swept across and landed on the open zither case. Inside the zither case was a Luanzheng that emitted an ancient aura.
It looked familiar.
“Did you buy a zither?” he asked.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “A neighbor gave it to Xiaohu. He said that Xiaohu has the talent to play the zither. I think he probably wants to take Xiaohu as his disciple, right?”
When Xiaohu heard his mother talking about him, he quickly jumped up and jumped around the bed to announce his sovereignty.
“My zither! My zither! My zither!”
“Okay, okay, okay. It’s yours.” Su Xiaoxiao pulled him over again and helped him put on his pants.
Xiaohu said in a childish voice, “Mother, help me put away the zither. Mother can touch it. Dahu, Erhu can’t touch it!”
When he said the last sentence, he did not forget to wave his hand seriously.
Su Xiaoxiao said in amusement, “Alright, I’ll put it away for you.”
If Dahu knew that he was so petty, he would peel him off again.
Wei Ting looked away.
He had probably seen wrongly.
After all, no one in this world would casually give away the number one zither in the world, the Nine Phoenix, to a boisterous child as a greeting gift.
There were Xiaohu’s favorite “pig balls” for dinner. He shook his head and ate a few.
“Are they delicious?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Xiaohu raised his head from the small bowl and said with enjoyment, “They’re fragrant!”
After dinner, the rain stopped.
The three little ones took advantage of the situation and rushed into the courtyard to tread water, like three little pugs who had jumped into a mud pit.
Father Su came out to take a look and instantly broke down.
He pressed his head with both hands and the dragon roared, “I just bathed you!”
In the Imperial Palace, late at night, Emperor Jing Xuan was still reviewing memorials in the imperial study.
Eunuch Fu walked over with his horsetail whisk and bowed to ask softly, “Your Majesty, it’s getting late. Do you want to settle down?” “Has the rain stopped?” Emperor Jing Xuan asked.
“It’s stopped,” Eunuch Fu said. “Looking at the weather, it might rain again later.”
Emperor Jing Xuan said, “There’s a lot of rain this year.”
Eunuch Fu hurriedly said, “That’s right. It didn’t rain so much in the past.”
Emperor Jing Xuan had a worried expression. “I wonder if there’s also heavy rain among the commoners.”
Spring rain was a good thing and was beneficial to farming, but it would not do if there was too much. It would flood good fields, and in serious cases, it might even cause floods.
A young eunuch came over with a food box.
Eunuch Fu took the food box and placed the snacks on the emperor’s table.
Emperor Jing Xuan did not indulge in food. He only ate 60 to 70% of his fill three times a day. Sometimes, he would eat supper if he was late.
More snacks.
Emperor Jing Xuan took a bite casually.
This taste… seemed different from what she had eaten in the past.
He ate four pieces in a row, stunning Eunuch Fu.
“Which chef made it?” Emperor Jing Xuan said. “Reward.”
Eunuch Fu said, “It’s not made by the imperial kitchen. It’s from Kunning
Palace. ”
Emperor Jing Xuan paused. “Empress?”
The empress and Emperor Jing Xuan were a couple when they were young. After Emperor Jing Xuan ascended the throne, he conferred her the title of empress. However, she was not favored and had few children. She only had Princess Jingning.
Emperor Jing Xuan sighed. “We’re going to Kunning Palace.”
In Kunning Palace, the empress planned to rest.
She asked the little palace maid beside her, “Have you sent the snacks to
Jingning?”
“I sent it,” the little palace maid said.
Gao Dabao, who had just returned to report, was stunned. “Is… is it for Her Highness?”
Oh my god!
He had sent it to the imperial study!
“His Majesty has arrived…’
“Is His Majesty here?”
In Qixiang Palace, Consort Xian heard the commotion outside the door and hurriedly touched the pearls on her temples.
She was wearing thin ice silk pajamas with light makeup on her cheeks. Her eyebrows were lightly decorated, and her lips were slightly moist.
At first glance, one would think that she was born beautiful.
The young eunuch slowly went forward and reported, “Your Highness, His
Majesty is resting in Kunning Palace tonight.”
Consort Xian’s expression changed. “What?! It’s neither the first nor the fifteenth day of the lunar new year. Why did His Majesty go to Kunning Palace?
Didn’t that woman fall out of favor long ago?!”
The young eunuch did not dare to breathe heavily.
Consort Xian said coldly, “Go to Kunning Palace and say that I’m not feeling well. Report to the empress and allow me to invite an imperial physician.”
“Yes.”
The young eunuch hurriedly went.
When the empress heard that Consort Xian was unwell, she hurriedly urged Emperor Jing Xuan to gp over and take a look.
Unfortunately, the emperor was intercepted halfway.
“Your Majesty, the old Protector Duke requests an audience!”
Emperor Jing Xuan pinched his sore eyebrows. “It’s so late and it’s raining heavily. Why is he here?”
The eunuch said, “I heard that he has something to report.”
Emperor Jing Xuan frowned. “Go to the imperial study. Tell Consort Xian that I’ll visit her tomorrow.”
In the imperial study, Emperor Jing Xuan saw Qin Canglan coming in the rain.
Qin Canglan naturally had to pay attention to his appearance. His hem and shoes were drenched, but his clothes were not messy at all.
The emperor asked amiably, “Minister Qin, why did you enter the palace so late?”
Qin Canglan flipped open his hem and knelt down.. He said, “Your Majesty, my son… has returned!”
