Ch 18: Angry Chou Chou
The three Masters of the Court of Judicial Review waited and waited but the two Young Masters of the Wen Yang Marquis Mansion did not arrive.
They were only inquiring as usual, not coming to interrogate a suspect, so they were embarrassed to urge them and could only keep glancing at Chen He.
Chen He smiled awkwardly. He had already sent someone to urge them, but the servant said that the two Young Masters were missing and they had gone to look for them.
Chen He: “Masters, have some tea, have some tea.”
Just as Master He’s patience was running out, two teenagers suddenly barged in.
They were about seven or eight years old. Although they were different in build, their appearance was eight parts similar. They should be the twins of the Wen Yang Marquis Mansion.
Master He stepped forward with a smile, preparing to appease the two children and tell them not to be afraid, when the thinner one put his index finger to his lips and made a shushing gesture towards him.
Su Jingwen lowered his voice: “Shh, keep it down, my Younger Sister is asleep.”
Master He’s eyes were drawn to the bulging lump in front of Su Jingwen’s chest. What was this?
And a Younger Sister? Was it the Little Miss recently born to the Wen Yang Marquis Mansion?
Chen He also noticed the commotion and came to check. This peek almost made him jump up in fright, “Two Young Ancestors, how did you steal the Little Miss out?”
If the Heir, that daughter slave, found out, the two Young Masters’ knees would probably not be spared!
The twins frowned and glared at Chen He at the same time, their movements in unison: “Shh, keep it down, Younger Sister is sleeping!”
Master He lifted a corner of the bedding wrapped around Su Jingwen’s chest, and saw a Little Milk Cow as cute as jade and snow grinning at him, her big, dark eyes sparkling with excitement.
【Happy, finally able to go out for some air!】
【Oh, there are so many people!】
Master He of the Court of Judicial Review believed himself to be an extremely kind person, but because of his rough appearance, he looked unkind, so His Majesty determined that he was very suitable for the position of Minister of the Court of Judicial Review.
Year after year, the criminals he solved one after another.
Now he could easily stop children from crying at night.
Now, a little baby was so excited and not afraid of him, and Master He’s heart was filled with tears. After so many years, someone had finally seen his soft heart through his rough exterior.
With just one glance, he felt that he and the Marquis Mansion’s Little Miss were very compatible.
“Come, let me hold her.”
The two brothers took a step back at the same time and stared at Master He warily with Chen He, as if looking at a kidnapper.
Master He coughed lightly and explained himself: “The Little Miss is young and her bones have not yet grown well, how can you hold her so casually. Brother Chen, do you know how to hold a child?”
Chen He shook his head. He hadn’t even found a wife himself, how would he know how to hold a child.
Master He said with confidence: “So I should do it!”
The two officials following behind him were not as high in position as Master He. They did not understand why their superior had run over to hold someone else’s child. They curiously stretched their heads to take a look and happened to see a small round face.
【Grandpa is good.】
The two Masters: What a cute little baby!
Master He took advantage of his advantage of knowing how to hold a child to win the priority of holding the cub.
Chou Chou didn’t care, as long as no one stole the cub, anyone could hold her.
Moreover, this Grandpa only looked fierce, but in fact, his aura was particularly peaceful. She could feel that this was a great person, and he was surrounded by righteousness, which was the aura that Chou Chou liked!
The two brothers stood there, constantly looking at Master He with their little eyes, always feeling that this person wanted to steal their Younger Sister.
Master He, who had been upright all his life, also had a day when he was suspected of being a bad person!
Master He liked Chou Chou very much and teased her for a while, causing the little baby to giggle. But he did not forget the purpose of his visit.
“Two Young Masters, I have a few questions I would like to ask you about the incident of the frightened horse injuring someone at the City East Horse Track yesterday. I wonder if it is convenient?”
The two brothers looked at each other and nodded: “Master, please ask.”
Master He: “Yesterday, the horse was frightened. It was said that the two Young Masters reminded everyone. I wonder if the two of you stumbled upon it or knew something about the inside story?”
◈◈◈
Su Xiucheng looked at Chou Chou, who had the same expression as Master He, and wanted to say that she was the inside story.
They knew what they could and could not say at their age, and told Master He everything that had been said that day, which was consistent with what Master He had learned beforehand.
He nodded and said nothing.
After Master He finished asking, he did not speak, but just stared at the two brothers.
Not to mention the twins, even Chou Chou was nervous.
【Grandpa, my brother is a good person.】
【Why doesn’t anyone ask Chou Chou, Chou Chou knows everything.】
Su Jingwen glanced at Chou Chou, who was very disappointed, and thought, what could this little brat know.
【The horse ate bad things and wanted to help others harm people. Alas, so pitiful.】
Chou Chou is still the kindest, she doesn’t eat things randomly and doesn’t kick others!
The two brothers who could hear Chou Chou’s inner voice were shocked. Su Jingwen subconsciously asked Master He: “Was yesterday’s incident not an accident?”
Master He looked inquiringly and asked instead: “Why does Third Young Master think it was an accident?”
Su Jingwen’s palms were sweaty. He couldn’t say that he had heard his Younger Sister’s inner voice. He could only stabilize his mind first and explain: “The Dayuan Horse that Xue Zheng brought was a treasure that His Highness Prince Ying had just obtained. Everyone knows that Dayuan Horses are difficult to tame. I thought it was because the Dayuan Horse was of a fierce nature and was disturbed by the crowd yesterday that the horse was frightened.”
“But in my humble opinion, since it can alarm the Masters of the Court of Judicial Review, then this matter must not be simple!”
Master He asked again: “Then Third Young Master, why don’t you tell me more about your views on this matter?”
Su Jingwen pointed at himself and subconsciously looked at Su Xiucheng.
Su Xiucheng turned his body to avoid his brother’s pleading gaze. It was time to show your strength, so he, as the Younger Brother, would not steal your thunder.
Su Jingwen could only carry it himself.
Chou Chou: 【Brother is awesome!】
With his Younger Sister’s encouragement, Su Jingwen immediately perked up, saying that he couldn’t lose face in front of his Younger Sister!
Combining Chou Chou’s inner voice with his own bold guess, Su Jingwen said: “If the Dayuan Horse did not injure people for no reason, the most likely thing is that it took some kind of medicine that could control its emotions. It would be better for the Master to investigate the food, and there should be some gains.”
Chou Chou’s eyes were bright, her brother was amazing!
She thought about the content of the book. Xue Zheng, who was called a villain along with her Third Brother and Fourth Brother, was violent and manic precisely because he was designed by the Male Lead when he was ten years old.
He fell from his horse and his kneecap was crushed by the horse, making him crippled for life.
Therefore, he had been using the power of Prince Ying’s Mansion to fight against the Male Lead. If it weren’t for him, Third Brother and Fourth Brother would have been killed by the Male Lead long ago.
My brother’s benefactor is my friend!
Little Chou Chou was angry!
【Bad people bully Brother Xue Zheng, causing Brother Xue Zheng to break his leg, and can only crawl on the ground!】
【Bad! Bad! Bad!】
The angry Little Milk voice sounded. Master He subconsciously looked around the room. Did he just hear a child screaming?
The voice was vague and unclear, but seeing that the expressions of the others in the room did not change, he thought he was just hallucinating.
Su Jingwen and Su Xiucheng’s expressions didn’t change, but they were completely stunned by the shock.
Someone wanted to murder Xue Zheng?!
