Su Mo couldn’t help but laugh, “If you don’t like it, I won’t have him report to me next time.”

Su Xiaoxiao nibbled on a walnut: “I don’t mind, just do as you please.”

Su Mo chuckled and poured her a cup of tea.

“I’ve found some news and was hesitating whether to tell you.”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Is it about Wei Ting?”

This girl… is terrifyingly clever ah… 

Good thing that she’s my younger sister, not an enemy. 

“Yes.” Su Mo said, “One is a clue about who poisoned my grandfather. The other is about the origins of the three children.”

Su Xiaoxiao paused mid-sip of her tea, her clear eyes wide and fixed intently on him.

Su Mo sought her opinion: “Should I start with my grandfather’s matter?”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded.

Su Mo continued, “After an extensive investigation, all the evidence points to the Wei family. I’ve previously discussed the entanglements between the Qin, Su, and Wei families, but I don’t recall exactly what happened. Back then, General Wei, also known as Lord Wu’An, was surrounded by the Northern Yan army and sent a secret message to the Qin army camp a hundred miles away to request assistance from your grandfather. But your grandfather did not go.”

Su Xiaoxiao asked puzzledly, “Why didn’t he go?”

Su Mo shook his head. 

“I’m not sure. Your grandfather has never been willing to speak about what happened back then… My grandfather might know the details. Now you understand how deep and irreconcilable the enmity between the Wei family and the Qin and Su families is, right?”

Once a day, I would try to persuade her to give up on Wei Ting.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t answer his question. She always had her own views and refused to be swayed by others’ opinions.

She rubbed her chin, deep in thought. 

“Both families were political rivals. Did Qin Canglan intend to use Northern Yan’s hand to assassinate Lord Wu’An? But that doesn’t make sense either. Lord Wu’An died in battle only a few years ago, and the present emperor has held the throne for seventeen years, so his position is solid. They served the same ruler, so why would this happen? Or was this the Emperor’s intention? Did the emperor fear the Wei family and wish for their demise?”

This girl isn’t just clever, she’s also bold, dare to speculate about everything.

Su Mo said, “As for the specifics, I’m afraid only your grandfather knows. It’s useless for me to ask, he won’t say anything. But you could try.”

Su Xiaoxiao thought it over and found it feasible.

“What’s the second piece of news you found out?” She asked.

She never dwelled too long on things without results, always maintaining a terrifying calm.

The more Su Mo spent time with her, the more he realized she had the potential to be an exceptional military officer.

Just that… Too bad… She was a woman.

He collected his thoughts and said to Su Xiaoxiao, “The second piece of news is about the origins of Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu.”

Su Xiaoxiao put down the walnut in her hand.

Su Mo said seriously, “They are not Wei Ting’s sons.”

Su Xiaoxiao paused at his words. “Not Wei Ting’s… then he never had children with another woman.”

Su Mo: ……I suddenly regretted telling you this.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Then, whose sons are Dahu, Erhu and Xiaohu?”

“I suspect…” Su Mo’s lips parted slightly as he spoke the words.

The Wei Residence.  

Wei Ting was confined to the courtyard under orders from both Emperor Jingxuan and Old Madam Wei.  

He lounged lazily on the daybed, a book covering his face, utterly bored.  

Eunuch Yu had been carried to the next room to rest, while the man in white with the bamboo hat stood guard at the door. This time, truly leaving him no chance to escape.  

“You’re done for! You’re done for!”  

Yuchi Xiu rushed into the courtyard.  

The man in white raised his sword to block him.  

Yuchi Xiu glanced at him and said, “Am I not even allowed to enter? Or do you think I could sneak him away right under your nose? Are you admitting you’re incompetent?”  

The man in white lowered his hand.  

Yuchi Xiu strode inside, went straight to the daybed, and stared intently at the book that covered Wei Ting’s face. “My Lord, you’re done for!”
