It’s time to draw a clear line with the Chen family!

Don’t let this family take advantage of them, by using name of the late Mrs. Chen ever again!

The big stone in Su Ergou’s heart also finally fell, and he excitedly asked Su Xiaoxiao, “Jie*, in the future…… can I finally beat them up?”

*Jie (姐) : older sister.

He thought his voice was very low, but Mrs. Huang could hear every single word.

Mrs. Huang’s body trembled.

Were they done yet?

Or did they still have other tricks under their sleeves?

“Yo… you… you.….. your Su family, just wait for it! My son is a Xiucai*!He doesn’t even have to kneel down when he sees the county magistrate! You guys have beaten my son, we will remember this!”

*Xiucai (秀才) : is a scholar who has passed the imperial examinations in China and obtained the qualification for admission to academic institution in ancient China.

Mrs. Huang bluffed and spoke harshly, then she helped up Chen Xiucai, who had lost his soul, and walked away in despair amidst the laughter of the fellow villagers.

“Alright alright, all disperse, there’s no more to see!” Father Su impatiently waved his hand at the villagers.

Su Ergou pointed to the couplet on the wall and said, “Dad, our family has posted the couplets, they are written by my brother-in-law!”

Father Su proudly said to the villagers, “Ohh, then feel free to look at it! You can look at it for as long as you want!”

For the sake of their family’s good reputation, the merrier the better!

“Are there any extra couplets left?” Father Su asked Su Ergou.

“Yes, Dad.” Su Ergou said, “Brother-in-law has written several copies.”

Su Cheng put his hands behind his back and said generously, “Take them all out! If there’s anything that the villagers like……”

The crowd’s eyes lit up!

Su Cheng: “Then let them look at it longer.”

Everyone: “……”

——

Shen Chuan came to Su Xiaoxiao today for two things. The first thing was to send something, and the second thing…… was still to send something.

Shen Chuan carried down another big package from the carriage and said, “I just came back from my waigong’s* house. My father asked me to bring it to you, the local specialty from my waigong’s region.”

*waigong (外公) : maternal grandfather.

“Dean Shen?” Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled.

Shen Chuan smiled and said, “He didn’t say it himself, but when I suggested sending you some, he didn’t object. Based on my understanding of my father ah, this is a tacit agreement!”

Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao was still puzzled, he explained, “Didn’t I mention this to you before? You saved Young Master Xiang, which is considered to have solved my father’s urgent problem, and also created quite a few opportunities for me to get close to Young Master Xiang, which my father always remembers in his heart!”

Su Xiaoxiao: “Oh.”

Shen Chuan handed her a brocade box and said, “In addition, when I was leaving the academy, I ran into Young Master Jing who wanted to deliver couplets to you. So I brought them for him. It’s Young Master Xiang’s precious calligraphy. Even my father wants it so badly. You have to keep it carefully!”

-Brocade box

“Okay.” Su Xiaoxiao received it.

Rich people were really different, even a pair of couplets was packed in such exquisite brocade box.

Su Xiaoxiao silently thought: ‘It would be nice if you had come earlier, therefore I don’t have to work hard to please that guy Wei Ting……’

Shen Chuan looked at the couplets on the wall and said thoughtfully, “But I see that your family’s couplets are also quite well-written, they are on par with Young Master Xiang’s!”

This evaluation was very rare. After all, Young Master Xiang’s calligraphy was something that even Dean Shen had personally appreciated.

Su Xiaoxiao was not proficient in calligraphy. If the gap was too large, she could still see that. But if they were almost on par, it was difficult to distinguish them.

“Who wrote it?” Shen Chuan asked curiously.

“Oh, someone.” Su Xiaoxiao said lightly.

Jing Yi investigated her, but Shen Chuan did not, nor did she mention it herself. Therefore, Shen Chuan did not know about her unexpected marriage and had always been referred to as Miss Su.

In the small east room, Wei Ting, who was writing the couplet, snorted coldly.

Heh, was this what she meant by not throwing him away after using him?

Woman’s mouth, such a deceitful ghost!

Wei Ting casually glanced at the three little children who were scribbling around the table. With a curl in his lips, he calmly shouted, “My wife, Xiaohu has peed!”

Xiaohu: “? ? ?”

Shen Chuan: “! ! !”

Su Xiaoxiao clenched her chubby fist and gritted her teeth!

Wei… Ting!
