“Goodbye, Shifu!”  

“Goodbye, Shifu!”  

“Goodbye, Shifu!”  

The three little ones in the yard waved their small hands at Ling Yun.  

Ling Yun didn’t even have the strength to slam the door.  

He was hungry.…..  

He just wanted to eat.…..  

—  

Su Ergou also returned from the Imperial Academy. 

Su Cheng had been taken by Qin Canglan and the old marquis for intensive training and wouldn’t be back tonight either.  

Su Xiaoxiao strongly suspected these two were competing to act as fathers to Su Cheng.  

Su Xiaoxiao stewed braised pork belly with taro, steamed shrimp balls, fried eggs with chives, and stir-fried two plates of green vegetables.

The taro was soft and tender, and the three little ones loved it.  

Xiaohu held his bowl and chopsticks, lifted his head, and said in a milky voice, “Want to eat again tomorrow!”  

Su Xiaoxiao asked with amusement, “What do you want to eat?”  

Xiaohu said seriously, “Taro! Meit (Meat)!”  

“What about Dahu and Erhu?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.  

Dahu wasn’t picky at all, he would eat anything except bitter things.

“Tanghulu.” Erhu said.  

Xiaohu quickly added, “Xiaofu (Xiaohu) wants tanghulu too! Lots and lots, a hundred tanghulu!”  

Dahu nodded vigorously, he wanted a hundred tanghulu too.

Su Xiaoxiao: I ask about dishes, not snacks… no one is allowed to change the subject!  

After the meal, the three little ones went to play in the yard, while Su Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.  

Su Ergou walked in, looking like he had something to say.  

“Sis.”  

He said gloomily.  

“What’s wrong?” 

Su Xiaoxiao looked up at him and asked, 

“Ah, did you get a new order? How many? I’ll make them tomorrow.”  

“No.…..” Su Ergou said, “Ah, there is an order, but I.…..”  

“What did you want to say?” Su Xiaoxiao asked softly.  

Su Ergou whispered, “Well.….. Today at the Imperial Academy, someone called me ‘Young Master’.”  

What was bound to happen had finally come.  

From the moment she decided to send Su Ergou to school, it was inevitable that his background would be exposed.  

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Do you want to be a young master?”  

Su Ergou asked, “If I become one, will I still be your younger brother? Will I still be Dad’s son? If not, then I don’t want to.”  

Su Xiaoxiao teased him, “What if you have endless pastries to eat and endless silver to spend? Still no?”  

Su Ergou shook his head like a rattle-drum: “If I can be with Dad and Sis, I can go hungry.”  

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. 

“I’ve said it before, I won’t let you go hungry anymore.”

Su Ergou said gloomily, “Sis, I’ll eat less from now on. Please don’t give me away to someone else.”  

This silly boy thought she was going to give him up for adoption to another family?  

Su Xiaoxiao found it both funny and frustrating, finally understanding why he had been so downcast since returning home.  

“Ergou, it’s time to tell you something.”  

“What is it?”  

“About Dad’s background. I didn’t tell you beforehand since I had some concerns. But now I realize I might have been mistaken; this decision should not be mine alone to make. I should not have treated you as a child. You have the right to choose your family.”  

Su Ergou only heard half of what she said and burst into tears from fear. 

“Sis, am I… am I really not our family’s child? Was I adopted?”  

His tears fell in big drops.  

He didn’t want to be some young master from a wealthy family, he only wanted his older sister and his dad……

—

Su Xiaoxiao spent more than half of an hour explaining Su Cheng’s life experience to the simple-minded Su Ergou, as well as the Qin-Su family’s relationship.  

Su Ergou blinked blankly and said, “So I’m Dad’s child, and you’re my real older sister?”  

Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but laugh. “Yes.”  

In an instant, Su Ergou’s spirits lifted, as if dead wood had come back to life. He wiped away his tears and said, “Oh, then it’s all good.”  

He happily ran outside to play.  

Surprisingly, Su Ergou didn’t seem to care at all about whether he had become the young master of the Duke Protector’s household.
