Chapter 333: Surprise

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Su Cheng stayed at the horse ranch for a few days and accepted the bombardment of the two big shots. Finally, today, he caught three moves from

Su Shuo.

They had made a bet before. If he caught three moves from Su Shuo, they would let him back for the night.

Su Shuo kept his promise.

Su Cheng rode his horse and couldn’t wait to return to Pear Blossom Lane.

These days, he had not been a sandbag for the two of them for nothing. He had a salary of ten taels a day. If he performed well, it would be twenty taels. Otherwise, why would he be willing to stay there?

He had already earned a hundred taels!

He had bought a pair of real jasper flower beads for his daughter. He was going to give her a surprise later!

When he reached the entrance of the alley, he dismounted and led the horse to the door.

He looked inside first. After confirming that no one was in the front yard, he quietly led the horse in.

The horse snorted.

He hurriedly gestured with his index finger. “Shh shh shh—”

The foal was eating feed in the courtyard. When it saw Su Cheng return, it jumped excitedly in front of him.

Su Cheng was frightened, afraid that he would be discovered if he made too much noise. Then, the surprise would be gone.

Su Cheng whispered, “Be good, don’t scream, don’t scream.”

The foal thought to itself that it had never screamed in its life!

Su Cheng comforted the foal, tied up his horse, and tiptoed to the backyard.

Dahu had already come out of the room. The three little fellows were eating sausages in the kitchen.

Su Cheng looked into the kitchen. When he did not see his daughter, he thought that her daughter should be in her room.

Actually, Su Xiaoxiao was in the woodshed picking some easy-to-burn hay.

Su Cheng sneaked to the door and quietly pushed open a small crack to see if his daughter was there.

Bai Xihe sensed a commotion.

She had just experienced a dangerous situation and was abnormally sensitive.

She didn’t know that Su Xiaoxiao’s family had returned. After all, someone who was furtive didn’t seem like a good person. Perhaps… that person had caught up…

Bai Xihe’s heart skipped a beat. She felt for a stick by the bed.

Step by step, she moved behind the door and raised the stick with both hands.

When Su Cheng took out the white jasper flower beads and jumped into the house, Bai Xihe smashed it at him!

Su Cheng’s body stiffened. In the next second, his eyes rolled back and he stuck out his tongue, falling to the ground.

He never expected that he, Su Cheng, would be beaten up one day.

It was really the karma of the heavens!

Dinner was steamed pork ribs, crucian carp tofu soup, lily egg soup, cured meat fried rice, and two stir-fried side dishes.

Su Ergou, Su Qi, and Su Yu had gone out and had yet to return. Physician Fu was picked up by the Old Marquis’s guard.

The family sat at the dining table in the central room and ate.

Su Cheng’s head was wrapped in gauze as he sat on the stool with a bruised face.

“What happened to Grandpa?” Xiaohu asked.

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Su Cheng. “Let Grandpa say it himself.” Su Cheng cleared his throat and said gloomily, “Grandpa fell.”

He couldn’t say that he had been hit by a woman. If word got out, would he still have his reputation as Bully Su?

Erhu couldn’t bear to look at him. “You fell so badly.”

Dahu imparted his experience. “You have to wrap your head.”

Su Cheng was speechless.

Bai Xihe did not come to the table to eat. It was not that she had hit her savior’s father. She was embarrassed… Alright, she was indeed a little embarrassed.

She was not deliberately avoiding the awkwardness.

It was mainly because she was stuffed after eating a big meat bun.

At the dining table, Su Xiaoxiao told Su Cheng about the shop. “…Sorry, I didn’t discuss it with Dad first.”

Su Cheng waved his hand. “You can decide on your own business. I don’t know… How much does the pharmacy cost?”

“6,000 taels.” Duang!

Su Cheng fell!

After dinner, Su Xiaoxiao returned to her room.

She didn’t urge Bai Xihe to leave, nor did she ask what her plans were. She just sat down at the table, took a pen and paper, and began to draw.

Although the shop did not have to be modified, she planned to separate the two rooms into four small rooms. She also had to deal with the threshold.

“Thank you for today,” Bai Xihe said.

“Huh?” Su Xiaoxiao didn’t understand.

“It was the same last time,” Bai Xihe said again.

Including that time in Peach Garden, Su Xiaoxiao had saved Bai Xihe twice.

Su Xiaoxiao looked up. “Oh, you’re welcome.”

She continued to bury her head in the drawing.

Bai Xihe had been in the palace for many years. She had the noblest status, but she lived the life of a sparrow in a cage. She had long given up on everything.

However, this little girl who inadvertently entered her line of sight aroused her curiosity.

What kind of person was she?

Bai Xihe couldn’t help thinking.

But soon, Bai Xihe realized that she shouldn’t be curious about anyone.

After all—

She lowered her eyes and said softly, “Can you… send me to the White Cloud Tea House on Long Stream Street? I haven’t left the palace for a long time and don’t remember the way.”

Long Stream Street was not far from Pear Blossom Lane.

Su Xiaoxiao remembered that when she went to look at the shop today, she had indeed passed by a White Cloud Teahouse.

“Okay, wait a moment.”

Su Xiaoxiao went to Su Cheng to greet him and inform him that she was going to send the patient back.

Father Su was a little worried about his daughter, but the three little fellows were sleepy and Ergou was not at home. He had to watch them.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Don’t worry, Dad. It’s very close. It’s on Long Stream Street.”

The security on Long Stream Street was good. Su Cheng often saw patrolling guards, so he didn’t stop her and asked Su Xiaoxiao to return early.

Bai Xihe put on her hood.

Su Xiaoxiao paused and said, “Use my cloak.”

That person had seen Bai Xihe’s cloak before. If he bumped into her, he would recognize it at a glance.

Bai Xihe changed into Su Xiaoxiao’s cloak.

It was a little wide and smelled of clean soap. It was inexplicably reassuring.

Su Xiaoxiao sent Bai Xihe to the White Cloud Tea House.

Bai Xihe went to the second floor and entered the innermost room.

Princess Lingxi was anxious and finally saw that familiar face. Princess Lingxi felt relieved and went forward to bow with a choked voice. “Madam… Madam, are you alright? I was scared to death when I didn’t see you!”

Bai Xihe’s voice regained a trace of the coldness of the Grand Empress

Dowager. “There was an accident. It’s been resolved.”

Princess Lingxi blamed herself and asked, “What accident? It’s all Lingxi’s fault for not protecting you well!”

Bai Xihe said, “It has nothing to do with you. I got separated myself.”

Princess Lingxi wiped her tears. “The palace door is about to close. Let me send you back to the palace.”

Bai Xihe looked through the window at the dark alley.

In the darkness, Su Xiaoxiao silently turned around and disappeared into the endless night.

Su Qi and Su Yu didn’t send Su Ergou back until midnight. Su Ergou was exhausted and fell asleep.

Su Xiaoxiao said to Su Qi and Su Yu, “I still have to ask you to bring Ergou out for dinner tomorrow night. However, don’t play so late.”

The two of them said in unison, “Are you not free tomorrow night too?”

“Yes.” Su Xiaoxiao nodded.

They could not freeload again.. The two of them were shocked!
