Su Yu nodded with a smile, “Yes, although my martial arts talent is good when practicing with my elder brother, it’s not as good as my sister’s. She belongs to the type who doesn’t need to deliberately practice; her martial arts skills can improve effortlessly. At the age of thirteen, she secretly dressed as a man, ran to the military camp, and won a victorious battle. The Emperor wanted to appoint her as a female general, but due to too much gossip in the Imperial Censorate, he gave up.”
Wang Jinhe listened in astonishment, “Your sister is truly amazing.”
Almost became the first female general—just thinking about it feels cool.
“Such a pity,” Wang Jinhe lamented, “This extraordinary woman, enduring so much for Feng Zhen, and still being mistreated. If it weren’t for true love, she wouldn’t have endured this.”
“Indeed,” Su Yu agreed, “But now, she has finally turned the corner.”
“You’re right. Fortunately, Feng Zhen didn’t let her down. If he had betrayed her in the end, I would support your sister in giving him a good whipping.” Wang Jinhe clenched her fists, speaking earnestly.
Su Yu cleared her throat, a hint of amusement in her eyes, “You’re absolutely right.”
On the fourth day after receiving the letter, Su Xi arrived first with Uncle Li.
Xiao Bao rushed over when he saw Su Xi, hugging Su Xi’s leg, “Grandfather, you’re here! I missed you so much.”
“Oh? Grandfather missed Xiao Bao too. Have you been obedient at home?” Su Xi asked.
“Yes.” Xiao Bao nodded repeatedly. Xiao Zhi stood on the side, watching Xiao Bao acting cute with Su Xi, his expression somewhat lonely.
His grandfather wasn’t like this.
Seeing Xiao Zhi with his head hanging low and a disappointed look on his face, Su Xi reached out and picked him up, “Little guy, you’re here too.”
Zhang Zhilin was startled by Su Xi’s sudden movement. He reached out and embraced Su Xi’s shoulder, “Grandfather.”
“Good boy. Let’s go see the gifts Grandfather brought for you.” Su Xi took the two children to see the gifts, and his previously troubled mood improved. Indeed, watching his great-grandchildren happy was the best.
“Grandpa, Brother and Sister will be coming in a few days. I asked Sister to bring Ling’er over to relax.” Su Yu, sitting not far from Su Xi, spoke up.
Su Xi’s movements paused, “You know about it already?”
“Yes, my cousin told me. Grandpa, I’ve told Grandpa Yang about these things too.” Su Yu hesitated for a moment before continuing.
Su Xi was surprised and shook his head with a smile, “If you tell Old Man Yang and the others, they’ll be in big trouble.”
“They deserve it. They are our parents, and we can’t do anything, but I don’t want to let it go so easily. Since we can’t take action, let those who can.” Su Yu didn’t believe that Yang Shanshan could beat Grandpa.
“They indeed need a lesson.” Su Xi nodded, fully approving of his grandson’s approach.
“Grandpa, I gave Grandpa a melon and grapes. Do you think he’ll like them? Will he come to see me?” Xiao Bao tilted his head, looking at Su Xi.
Su Xi lovingly looked at Xiao Bao, reaching out to ruffle his soft hair, “Your great-grandpa will definitely like them. He knows that Xiao Bao is here and will come to see you.”
“Hehe, Daddy said Grandpa Yang is as good to him as Grandpa, that is why I also like Grandpa Yang.” Little Bao stirred his small hands happily.
Su Xi looked at Xiao Bao with a mix of amusement and helplessness. Could this little guy already distinguish between love and dislike?
“Grandpa, you probably can’t imagine that Xiao Bao is the first person to receive a reward from the Empress Dowager based on his own abilities.” And he’s the youngest.
“Oh? What happened?” Su Xi suddenly became interested. This was something new.
Su Yu explained the situation to Su Xi. After listening, Su Xi couldn’t help but laugh, ruffling Xiao Bao’s small head, “How does this little guy come up with these ideas?”
“I think Uncle Emperor is good to Dad and Mom, so I like him.” Xiao Bao tilted his head, saying seriously.
Su Xi chuckled but didn’t say anything. There were too many flatterers around the Emperor, but there were few like Xiao Bao. Xiao Bao was still a child, and this was the time when emotions were most evident.
Like is like, dislike is dislike.
“Next time, I’ll give them good things.” Xiao Bao wiggled his little feet in Su Xi’s arms.
“Sure, as long as you’re happy.”
A few days after Su Xi arrived, Su Jiu and his sister, along with Feng Qinling, also arrived.
Su Xuan Xuan looked at this ordinary little mountain village. At the foot of the mountain, there were two houses, and one of them looked newly built.
Feng Qinling had never been to such a place before and curiously asked, “Mommy, is Uncle here?”
“Yes, and Aunt and little brother too.”
Feng Qinling’s eyes lit up, “Mom, am I a big sister now? I have a little brother?”
“Yes, our Ling’er is a big sister now. You have to take good care of your little brother, okay?” Su Xuan Xuan looked at Feng Qinling with joy in her eyes and a hint of a smile.
Since leaving the Feng family, Ling’er had changed a lot, becoming much happier.
“Let’s go, Ling’er. Your little brother’s home has many cute little animals. You can ask your little brother to show you.”
“Okay.” Feng Qinling nodded eagerly.
The three got off the carriage. Su Jiu led the mother and daughter into the house, while Xiao Bao and Zhang Zhilin played in the yard. Hearing the sound, they looked up and saw Su Jiu approaching with others.
“Uncle, you’re here. Who are they?” Xiao Bao tilted his head, looking at the people with Su Jiu.
“This is my little sister, Your Aunt and she is her Daughter.”
Su Xuan Xuan walked up to Xiao Bao, bending down to look at the child who resembled his brother, “Are you Xiao Bao?”
“Yes, I’m Xiao Bao. My full name is Wang Ziqin, and this is my Big brother, Zhang Zhilin.” Xiao Bao spoke in a childish tone. Afterward, he shouted into the house, “Daddy, Uncle, and Aunt are here!”
Inside the house, Su Yu, who was discussing the winery with Wang Jinhe, heard Xiao Bao’s voice and came out with Wang Jinhe.
Seeing Su Xuan Xuan, Su Yu felt relieved, “Sis, you’re here.”
Su Xuan Xuan walked up to Su Yu and playfully knocked on his head, “You found younger sister and the child but didn’t bring them home. You even kept it a secret from all of us.”
“Don’t want certain people to know.” Su Yu muttered.
Su Xuan Xuan smiled slightly, “What you did is right.”
“Uncle, the little brother looks so much like you, and Aunt is so beautiful.” Feng Qinling, playing with Xiao Bao and Xiao Zhilin, ran over when she heard Su Yu’s voice.
Wang Jinhe was captivated by Feng Qinling, “Su Yu, can we kidnap your niece?”
“Xiao He, isn’t it inappropriate to kidnap my niece in front of my sister? Let’s have our own daughter in the future.”
“Want a little brother.” Xiao Bao, unwilling to be left out, said.
Zhang Zhilin also nodded, “Little brother, we’ll play with him.”
Su Yu looked down at the two little ones, “If It’s a Sister, won’t you play with them?”
