Take a Sip of Milk to Calm My Nerves, the Whole Family is Waiting for Me to Save Them – Chapter 17

Ch 17: Kidnapping the Little One

The incident at the City East Horse Track caused a great uproar, and the academy simply gave all the uninjured scholars a holiday.

Su Jingwen and Su Xiucheng were dragged back by Su Junyao a day early, and at this moment, they were holding the homework sent back by the young male servant, heading to the study room with mournful faces.

“Brother, what are we going to do with so much homework? At the academy, we could copy from Xue Zheng and the others, but what can we do now!”

Su Jingwen looked left and right, glared at his younger brother, and said, “Don’t talk nonsense, what do you mean by copying? We were conducting friendly exchanges in academic matters!”

Su Xiucheng was stunned for a moment, then reacted and gave his Third Brother a thumbs up, sincerely praising, “Brother, you are really good at talking!”

“Good at saying what?”

Su Junyao came around the corner, scaring the two brothers, who stiffened their backs in unison, “Dad!”

“Mm. Is this all the homework you need to study at home these days?”

“Yes, there is a bit too much homework, we will go to the study room first.”

“Come back!” Su Junyao stopped the two brothers who were about to run away, “Go to my study room, and I will personally check your homework later.”

Su Junyao still had something to do, gave a few instructions, and then left, not caring about the life or death of his two sons at all.

The two brothers looked at each other, “Dad must have heard our conversation just now.”

In fact, Su Junyao was in a hurry to go out and did not notice what they were muttering, but before going out, he went to see Chou Chou. The little fellow kept muttering that she was the smartest person in the family.

Thinking that his two sons were indeed not as diligent in their studies as their two older brothers, he told them to go to the study room.

Regarding the City East Horse Track incident, Prince Ying knelt in front of the Zhengyang Palace early in the morning to ask His Majesty to make the decision, saying that someone deliberately wanted to harm him.

His Majesty ordered Su Junyao to cooperate with the officials of the Court of Judicial Review to thoroughly investigate the case. He was in a hurry to go to the Court of Judicial Review and also happened to avoid the Zheng Family Mother and Son who had come to complain in a hurry.

The entire Marquis Mansion was accustomed to these poor relatives who liked to come to the Marquis Mansion to freeload. Zheng Xiulan led Qiao Muyang all the way unimpeded, crying to the Bamboo Garden.

Madam Wen was old, although the poisoning was relatively shallow, it also made her lose a lot of weight. In addition, she did not get any benefits from Yun Jinglan and angered herself again.

With the Zheng Family Mother and Son crying, she was even more annoyed.

“What is the matter with all this crying?”

Madam Wen favored her niece Zheng Xiulan more than her own son, and even her grand-nephew Qiao Muyang was more pleasing to her than the proper Marquis Mansion Young Master.

Seeing Zheng Xiulan crying with red eyes, and Qiao Muyang also looking humiliated, she immediately became anxious, “What happened? Did someone bully you? I will have the Boss arrest them all!”

Zheng Xiulan was also born as a daughter of an official family, but it is not known whether it was the loss of her husband and widowhood that greatly changed her mood. Sometimes, when she acted unreasonably, she was worse than a shrew in the street.

She threw herself in front of Madam Wen and knelt on the ground, ignoring whether her aunt was still sick, grabbed her hand, and began to cry, “Aunt, the person who bullied me is Eldest Cousin!”

“It’s unreasonable, they only know how to bully us orphans and widows.” Zheng Xiulan said, while secretly pinching her thigh, crying with snot bubbles coming out, “But what did Xiulan do to offend Eldest Cousin that Eldest Cousin actually came to my door to humiliate me. My Muyang will have the academy examination in the spring, I am a woman, it doesn’t matter, but what will happen to my poor son!”

As soon as Zheng Xiulan’s voice fell, Qiao Muyang flicked his sleeves and knelt in front of Madam Wen. Compared to Zheng Xiulan’s unreasonable behavior, Qiao Muyang seemed much more cultured.

“Maternal Great-Aunt, it is because Muyang is useless and cannot support a world for his mother. Muyang is poor but also has dignity. I have already agreed to help my classmates copy ancient books to earn silver, and I beg Maternal Great-Aunt not to send silver to my home anymore.”

Qiao Muyang wiped away non-existent tears but took the opportunity to rub his eyes red, looking stubborn and unyielding: “So as not to be looked down upon by others!”

After speaking, he pulled Zheng Xiulan, who was still crying loudly, and was about to leave.

These mother and son were like singing a duet. Madam Wen listened for a long time and still did not understand the reason. Seeing that they were about to leave, she was so angry that she spat out a mouthful of blood. ’

Zheng Xiulan was raising her face, wanting her aunt to see her pitiful appearance, and was sprayed with a face full of blood, and was immediately frightened out of her wits.

“Ahhh!”

“Come quickly, Aunt is going to die!”

◈◈◈

Hearing Zheng Xiulan curse herself like this, Madam Wen rolled her eyes and completely fainted.

The serving maids outside heard the movement inside and pushed the door open to take a look, and saw their Old Madam lying on the bed, spitting blood and not knowing whether she was alive or dead, so frightened that her legs were trembling, and she crawled out to ask for help.

“Something happened, quickly call a doctor!”

“Old Madam was angered to the point of spitting blood!”

Su Junyao, who had not been out for long, returned again, but with several officials from the Court of Judicial Review following him.

His two sons witnessed the startled horse incident at the City East Horse Track yesterday, and it was after their reminder that many scholars did not mount their horses. In principle, the people from the Court of Judicial Review had to come to ask about relevant matters.

As soon as the group entered the mansion, before the Su Family Twins showed up, they heard the servants report that something had happened in the Bamboo Garden.

Su Junyao listened carefully to the servants’ report and his face turned livid. It was this Zheng Xiulan again!

Master He of the Court of Judicial Review saw this and cupped his hands: “If Heir has urgent matters, you can deal with them first. We are just asking your sons a few questions, it won’t take much time.”

Su Junyao was helpless and had to leave Chen He in the reception hall, while he rushed to the Bamboo Garden.

Su Jingwen and Su Xiucheng were troubled by their homework, so anxious that they were about to pinch their thighs, when they suddenly heard the servants say that they did not have to study.

But the bad news was that the people from the Court of Judicial Review wanted to see them.

Su Xiucheng was incredulous: “Now, even copying homework will alarm the Court of Judicial Review?”

Su Jingwen knocked his brother’s head hard, looking extremely disgusted: “Stupid! The Court of Judicial Review doesn’t care about little kids’ affairs, it is estimated that we have encountered some major case.”

“Then what should we do? Are they going to take us back for interrogation?”

Su Jingwen thought for a while, “Our luck is bad, let’s find someone with good luck!”

Su Xiucheng’s eyes lit up, and he followed his brother all the way to his mother’s courtyard, sneaking around.

The matter of Madam Wen being angered to the point of spitting blood was quite a big deal. Although Yun Jinglan could not go out because she was in confinement, she also sent someone to inquire. She was frightened yesterday and did not sleep well all night, and now she waved away the servants and was sleeping in the house for a while.

Chou Chou was very well-behaved, not crying or making noise alone. Anyway, they, as Little Fish, could stay in the water without moving for a long time.

Suddenly, she heard a slight sound in her ear, and she put her little fists on both sides of her head, looking like she was facing a formidable enemy.

【What’s wrong, is someone kidnapping the Little One?】

Suddenly, two familiar faces appeared in Chou Chou’s sight, and she painfully closed her eyes.

So scary!

She thought her two brothers were here to play with her, waved her claws, and was about to whistle a greeting in her heart, when suddenly her eyes went dark and she was wrapped tightly in a swaddle.

Before she could pull it off, her soft body was hugged awkwardly by her brother, and then layer after layer of quilts tightly wrapped her.

It was dark in front of her eyes, and Chou Chou could only feel her two brothers moving her forward.

The speed was not slow!

Chou Chou was shocked: 【Oh no, the brothers really came to kidnap the Little One!】

【Mother, don’t sleep, Chou Chou is in danger!】
