In the capital in the latter half of the night, it was misty.
The cold wind blew against the lanterns under the corridor, and the swaying candlelight illuminated the shadows of the trees.
The warm pavilion was silent.
Su Xiaoxiao pressed her ear to the crack of the door.
Creak—
The door opened from inside.
Su Xiaoxiao staggered and almost fell in. She stabilized herself in time and raised her hand to touch her head handsomely.
“I didn’t eavesdrop!” she said seriously before continuing, “Continue.”
Wei Ting glanced at her. “I’m done.”
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “Oh, Matriarch Wei has also rested. I gave her some calming pills. She probably won’t be hurt again tonight.”
“Let’s go.” Wei Ting grabbed her wrist through his sleeve and left with her.
Before leaving, Su Xiaoxiao looked into the room and saw a disheveled and thin figure with a pale and bloodless face.
Halfway through, Su Xiaoxiao looked at the courtyard. “Should we…”
“No.” Wei Ting refused without thinking. “Okay.”
If he was sad tonight, she would do as he said.
Just this night. She won’t spoil her from tomorrow onwards.
Yuchi Xiu came over with the carriage and waited outside.
Yuchi Xiu had been subdued by Wei Ting five years ago, but he had never admitted that he was a member of the Wei family. He was a killer who had signed a contract with Wei Ting… ranked second on the assassin rankings of the six countries!
For once, he didn’t say a word. He quietly placed the carriage stool.
After Wei Ting and Su Xiaoxiao got into the carriage, he didn’t ask where they were going and directly drove in the direction of the Imperial Astronomy Center.
Su Xiaoxiao sat obediently, grabbing the tassel one moment and pinching the pillow the next. Her feet moved restlessly. Wei Ting said calmly, “Just say what you want to ask.”
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “No, nothing.”
After a pause, she moved over. “What kind of person is your grandfather?”
Wei Ting glanced at him coldly. “You didn’t eavesdrop?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “The voice wanted to enter my ears. What can I do?” Wei Ting was speechless.
Su Xiaoxiao moved closer to him. “I’ve never heard you mention your grandfather before.”
She heard most about Old General Wei and his sixth brother. He did not often talk about the other brothers, but they had all been mentioned.
On the other hand, his maternal family…
Wei Ting said, “I can’t remember much. He lives in Lingnan. I’ve only been there once in my life.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “When?”
Wei Ting replied, “When I was born.”
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Wei Ting said, “My mother gave birth to me in Lingnan. After I returned to the capital at one month old, I never went to Lingnan again.”
“Because your mother won’t go back to her maiden home?”
“She went back, but she never brought me along. Previously, she brought my brothers back. Ever since I was born, her relationship with the family has faded, and she no longer brought my brothers back to Lingnan.”
“Is your grandfather from the capital?”
“Yes, but he later settled in Lingnan. I heard from my brothers that Grandpa is an extremely good person. He’s funny, carefree, kind-looking, and well-read. He’s a famous gentleman in Lingnan.”
“Have your brothers seen your grandfather?”
“My mother’s personality changed drastically after giving birth to me. Before that, she brought my brothers back to Lingnan.”
“Speaking of which, how did you guess it was your grandfather?”
“At first, I didn’t want to guess my maternal grandfather. I planned to guess Uncle, but on second thought, my uncle had passed away many years ago and was killed by a martial arts organization. The reason why my mother could know my father was that my paternal grandfather had exterminated that martial arts organization. My maternal grandfather was grateful that he had avenged his son and wanted to invite him to his house no matter what. My paternal grandfather said that he was just enforcing justice on behalf of the heavens and there was no need to be so polite. However, it was difficult to refuse my maternal grandfather’s kindness. After a while, the two of them became best friends. Later on, my father and my mother became married.”
“I see.”
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t ask further.
She gently held Wei Ting’s hand.
“What are you doing?” Wei Ting asked coldly.
Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. “Can’t you tell? I’m comforting you. Forget it if you don’t want it.”
Su Xiaoxiao was about to retract her hand when Wei Ting’s cold fingers held it.
The two of them arrived at the Imperial Astronomy Center.
Su Xiaoxiao went to see Qin Canglan.
Physician Fu had just removed the needle for Qin Canglan, and his condition had not worsened for the time being.
“He has a strong will to survive,” Physician Fu said.
When he saw Qin Canglan’s injuries, he was really shocked. When he heard that the dagger was poisonous, he became even more worried that Qin Canglan would not survive the night.
However, from Qin Canglan’s blood pressure and pulse, he was trying very hard to stay..
