Chapter 1405: Grandfather and Granddaughter Reunion
Madam Tao looked at the little black skin that suddenly rushed to her and asked in a daze, “Who… are you?”
Su Li was so excited that his heart broke!
He clenched his fists and said aggrievedly, “Mother! It’s me! Little Five!”
Fortunately, Su Li was not as thick-skinned as Wei Liulang and did not say, “Have you forgotten your favorite Little Five?”
Madam Tao was shocked and looked at Su Li from head to toe in disbelief. She put down the needle and thread in her hand and went forward to hold his face. “Why… why are you so dark?”
Where was her fair and clean youngest son?
Su Li said, “I got tanned at sea.”
He had no feelings about being dark. He was a man and did not care about this.
Madam Tao hurriedly said, “Let Mother see if you’re injured.”
“I’m not injured. I’m fine. Look.”
Su Li spun around in front of his mother.
When he went to eliminate the remnants of Xiahou Yi’s navy, he was actually slightly injured.
He lacked experience on the battlefield. If not for his brother arranging for a deputy general to protect him, he would probably have been carried back.
After this battle, he realized that it had not been easy for his brother and the soldiers.
Fighting a war was not about showing off one’s bravery, nor was it about playing tricks. A mistake in the commander’s decision could cost the lives of countless soldiers.
Behind every victory were thousands of soldiers who had bathed in blood and killed enemies.
His brother was a natural talent. He had the bravest and most fearless soldiers.
He admired his brother and the soldiers to the core.
“Are you really not injured?”
Mdm Tao was still worried.
“Really! Mother, let me tell you, I was amazing! During the war, two people pounced on me. I was so…”
Su Li gestured animatedly.
“Mother.”
Su Mo walked in.
He also had tanned skin. His facial features were strong and cold, and there was a hint of heroic spirit in his eyes.
“Mo’er!”
Madam Tao’s eyes lit up, and the youngest son in front of her instantly did not smell fragrant anymore.
She quickly walked towards Su Mo.
“Pierce! Hit him…”
Su Li spun around and turned around. “Eh? Where is she? Mother! I’m not done yet!”
Su Mo lifted the hem and knelt down solemnly, kowtowing to Madam Tao.
Every time he returned from the battlefield, he would kneel to his parents.
This was the rule of the eldest son of the Su family.
Madam Tao quickly helped him up. “It’s good that you’re back… It’s good that you’re back…”
Su Mo smiled and said, “Fourth Brother is here too.”
Su Mo understood his mother and knew who she was most worried about.
Madam Tao looked at the door nervously.
However, the first to poke in was a nervous little head.
Madam Tao was stunned and hurriedly bowed. “Greetings, Your Highness!”
“No, no, no!”
Princess Hui An spread her arms and quickly crossed the threshold. She held Madam Tao, who was bowing to her, in time and whispered, “You don’t have to bow to me in the future.”
Madam Tao was stunned and smiled awkwardly.
“Su Xuan, come in!”
Princess Hui An said to the door.
Mdm Tao immediately became nervous.
It was not until that familiar handsome figure entered her sight with a smile that she finally felt relieved.
Su Xuan smiled quietly. “Mother.”
Madam Tao’s throat was swollen and painful. She raised her trembling hand and touched his handsome face. She looked at him deeply and choked. “You went to the academy to study… Why did you go for so long… Will you still go in the future?”
Su Xuan said warmly, “I’m not going anymore. I’ll accompany Mother in the capital in the future.”
Madam Tao hugged him and could no longer hold back her hot tears. They fell one after another.
The mother and son were connected.
There were some things that did not have to be said.
However, this time, she really felt that her Xuan’er was completely back.
Princess Hui An wanted to stay in the Su family for a while longer. Unexpectedly, just as she entered, someone came from the palace. It was Changping, who was beside Xiao Zhonghua.
Changping said respectfully, “Princess, His Highness the Crown Prince requests you to return to the palace immediately.”
Princess Hui An replied unwillingly, “Oh.”
Madam Tao said to Su Mo, “Bring your fourth brother to the palace to apologize.”
“Yes, Mother.”
Su Mo agreed.
Su Li panicked. “Eh? What does it have to do with Fourth Brother? She wanted to go out herself! If you really want to blame someone… I was the one who brought her out of the capital. You can’t blame Fourth Brother! I’ll take responsibility for my own actions! I’ll go see the crown prince!”
“Go back!”
It was the Old Marquis’s dignified voice.
Beside him stood Su Yuan, who had just returned from the Ministry of War.
Su Yuan saw his wife’s red and swollen eyes and quickly walked over to comfort her softly. “They are back safely. Why are you crying?”
The Old Marquis looked at his three grandchildren and said to Su Mo and Su Xuan, “The two of you follow me into the palace.”
–
At the Wei family.
When Old Madam Wei heard that Su Mo and the others had returned to the capital, she began to feel uneasy.
She knew that Su Mo had also gone to Thousand Mountains Island. Since Su Mo had returned, would her son, grandsons, and granddaughter-in-law be back soon?
“Matriarch.”
Nanny Li looked at Old Matriarch Wei, who was walking around the house with her walking stick. “Sit down and rest for a while. The young madams went to ask.”
“Mother.”
Madam Wei entered the house.
Ever since Wei Xu returned home, Madam Wei was no longer alone in her side courtyard.
She came to see Old Matriarch Wei every day.
However, she was clearly earlier than usual.
Madam Wei said, “Mother, I heard that Su Mo has returned to the capital.”
Old Matriarch Wei sighed. “That’s right. Su Mo and the others are back. Why isn’t there any news from Little Seven and the others? Could something have happened on the way?”
Nanny Li advised, “Matriarch, Madam, don’t be anxious. No news is good news. If something really happens, the Marquis of Zhenbei will definitely inform us!”
Madam Wei took a deep breath and said, “That’s right, Mother. We were too concerned. Little Seven and the others will definitely return safely.”
Old Matriarch Wei understood the logic. Wasn’t she missing her granddaughter-in-law and her great-grandchildren?
Old Matriarch Wei thought for a moment and said solemnly, “Get someone to prepare the carriage. I’ll wait outside the city gate!”
“Matriarch!”
Nanny Li panicked and looked at Madam Wei. “Madam.”
Madam Wei said, “I’ll go too.”
Nanny Li was speechless.
With the young madams not around, Nanny Li could not stop the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and could only prepare a carriage for them.
Madam Wei went to help Old Matriarch Wei.
Old Matriarch Wei waved the walking stick in her hand. “I can walker faster than you!”
After a pause, she changed the topic and frowned. “For some reason, I feel a little uneasy… Aiyo, my eyelids are starting to twitch… The last time this happened… was when the Wei family’s corpses were transported back to the capital…”
Madam Wei’s face turned pale.
The two of them had just arrived at the door when a horse carrying a man covered in blood quickly ran towards the Wei family.
The Wei family’s servant hurriedly grabbed the horse’s reins.
The man could not hold on anymore and fell off the horse.
When the servant saw the golden arm, his eyes trembled. “Sixth Young Master!”
Old Matriarch Wei staggered as if she had been struck by lightning!
Madam Wei ran over palely. “Little Six!”
Old Matriarch Wei leaned on her walking stick and came to Wei Liulang. She looked at Wei Liulang in Madam Wei’s arms and asked in panic, “What happened?”
Wei Liulang said weakly, “On the way back… we were ambushed by… Xiahou Yi… the ambush…”
Old Matriarch Wei felt as if she had fallen into an icehouse. She asked with a trembling voice, “Where are the others? Where’s your father? Where are your brothers, Xiaoxiao, and the children?”
“They…”
Wei Liulang spat out a mouthful of blood and pointed at the carriage running over behind him.
There was no coachman. It seemed that even the coachman had been killed.
The carriage stopped beside Wei Liulang.
Old Matriarch Wei’s lips trembled, and her throat hurt. Her eyes turned red.
She had once personally welcomed the corpses of her husband, son, and grandsons.
She could take it!
She slowly stood up and walked towards the carriage. She raised her thin and old hand, took a deep breath, and slowly lifted the curtain.
“Great- Grandma!”
A round head stretched out!
“Great- Grandma!”
“Great- Grandma!”
Right on the heels of that, the second and third round heads stretched out one after another.
The three of them were strong and cute, their faces extremely round!
It was obvious that she had eaten and drunk a lot along the way and had not suffered at all.
The three of them jumped down and hugged Old Matriarch Wei’s leg, bouncing around.
Dahu said, “Grandma! Dahu misses you!”
Erhu said, “Erhu misses Great-Grandma too!”
Xiaohu tried his best to push his two brothers away. “No, no, none of you missed her! Xiaohu missed her the most!”
“We missed her!” Erhu said.
Xiaohu squeezed in hard. “Xiaohu missed her the most! Xiaohu missed her the most!”
Old Matriarch Wei was already prepared for a repeat of the tragedy, but three great-grandchildren jumped out.
Her old heart almost exploded!
Madam Wei’s tears stopped.
If the three children were fine, then this kid—
She looked down and touched the blood at the corner of his mouth with her fingertips.
Was it actually syrup?!
Young brat!
He didn’t learn anything good but tricks from his grandmother!
Wei Liulang raised his eyebrows and smiled. He raised his hand and snapped his fingers. “Eldest Brother, Second Brother, Little Seven! I tricked Grandmother! You lost!”
Old Matriarch Wei gritted her teeth. “Wei, Yan!”
Old Matriarch Wei picked up the walking stick in her hand and waved it at Wei Liulang.
Wei Liulang bounced up into Madam Wei’s arms.
“Are you still hiding?”
Old Matriarch Wei was the matriarch after all. Back then, she was peerless with the red tassel spear!
She was about to die of anger from this kid!
She would beat this kid up!
Wei Liulang was beaten up!
“Aiya, aiya, aiya! It hurts! Grandmother! Don’t hit my face! I’m your most beloved Little Six..”
