“Really?” Su Xiaoxiao looked curious.

Madam Jiang said, “I married into the Wei family late. I heard all of this. Second Sister-in-law and the others also heard it. After all, it was a long time ago. Before Mother gave birth to Xiao Qi, she had a good relationship with Father and was very good to her sons.”

Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled. “Wei Ting said that his mother is indifferent to all his brothers, but he vaguely feels that she’s the most cold to him.”

Madam Jiang sighed with heartache. “Everyone was afraid that Little Seven would be sad, so they deliberately said that. They said that Mother had always been like this and was not close to anyone. They told him not to take it to heart.’

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Did something happen when Madam Wei gave birth to Wei

Ting? Why did her attitude change so much?”

Madam Jiang said truthfully, “I’m not sure about that. Sister-in-law doesn’t

Imow much about that year. She only knows that Mother gave birth to Little

Seven in Lingnan that year.”

“Lingnan?” Su Xiaoxiao was at a loss.

Madam Jiang said, “Mother is from Lingnan. That year, Mother happened to return to the countryside to visit her family. She stayed at her maiden home for more than half a year and only returned to the capital after giving birth to Xiao

Su Xiaoxiao pondered and said, “Her personality changed drastically after that?”

Mdm Jiang nodded. “Yes.”

Postpartum depression? Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin.

This time, Madam Jiang and Madam Chen did not come empty-handed. Madam Chen gave Su Xiaoxiao a big saber and Madam Jiang gave Su Xiaoxiao a long sword.

As expected of a female general, the greeting gift was so mighty and domineering.

After the two of them left with a jar of cured meat, Yuchi Xiu came over. As soon as he entered the house, he quickly closed the door and pulled off the human skin mask on his face.

Su Xiaoxiao had grabbed her shovel and was about to slap it down.

“Oh, it’s you.”

She retracted the shovel. “Why are you sneaking around in the middle of the

“Murder.”

Yuchi Xiu touched his handsome face. “It’s a personal grudge. I can’t expose my identity.”

If anyone recognized him, they would suspect that Wei Ting had instigated him to go.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the human skin mask on the stone table and asked thoughtfully, “Will no one notice if you wear this?”

“Be careful. Of course not.”

Yuchi Xiu sat down on the stone stool. “That’s how Wei Ting deceived everyone at the temple. If no one pretended to be him, guess how he went to Qingzhou?” Su Xiaoxiao asked, “He didn’t expose himself even after pretending for a year?”

Yuchi Xiu said, “When we first went, there were indeed a few times when we almost exposed ourselves. Later on, that guard moved to the most secluded meditation room and reduced his interactions with others. He meditated behind closed doors all day long and didn’t see anyone. He didn’t say much when he saw them and just bluffed his way through.”

Su Xiaoxiao fell into deep thought.

In the afternoon, Madam Jiang and her four sisters-in-law sat in the garden drinking tea.

Suddenly, a servant reported, “Someone claiming to be the Seventh Young Madam is outside.”

Madam Jiang choked.

Madam Lan said in amusement, “What Seventh Young Madam? Little Seven isn’t married yet.”

Madam Li said, “It’s a bethrothal. Soon.”

Madam Chu asked, “What does that person look like? Did she say her surname?”

The servant said, “Young Madam, it’s a fat girl. She said her surname is Su.”

Madam Lan muttered, “Why is she here?”

Madam Chu asked a servant to bring Su Xiaoxiao in.

Madam Lan said angrily, “Our Wei family is not an unruly family. You haven’t married yet! Don’t ruin our Wei family’s reputation!”

Madam Jiang said, “Fourth Sister-in-law, how can you say that? Seventh

Sister-in-law is one of us. She will have to marry Little Seven sooner or later. Our family isn’t like that.”

Generals had rules, but it definitely did not include the fact that women had to stay indoors.

All of their women could enter and leave the Wei family freely. Since they could go out, Seventh Sister-in-law could naturally visit.

Anyway, Madam Jiang thought so.

“Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, Third Sister-in-law, Fourth

Sister-in-law, Fifth Sister-in-law,” Su Xiaoxiao greeted them one by one. Other than Madam Lan’s slightly ugly expression, the others treated her quite kindly.

Madam Chu asked, “Are you here to visit Grandmother?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “To be honest, I’m here to see Madam Wei.”

Madam Lan said calmly, “You’ll see her after we you are married. How can there be someone who wants to see her mother-in-law before the wedding?”

Su Xiaoxiao said in her usual tone, “I heard that Madam Wei caught a cold. I’m a physician, so I specially came over to take a look.”

“Who did you hear that from?” Madam Chu asked.

Madam Jiang silently lowered her head and pulled Madam Chen, asking her to lower her head and reduce her presence.

Su Xiaoxiao said without changing her expression, “I heard from Wei Ting’s subordinate. ”

Madam Chu said, “Ah, Mother has indeed been feeling unwell for the past two days… Come with me.”

Madam Chu had already gotten medicine for Madam Wei, but she did not reject Su Xiaoxiao’s good intentions. Instead, she brought Su Xiaoxiao to Madam Wei’s courtyard.

“Should we go?” Madam Li asked.

Madam Lan peeled a peach. “If you want to go, Second Sister-in-law can go yourself. I’m not going.”

She looked at Madam Jiang and Madam Chen, who could not sit still anymore. “Are Fifth Sister-in-law and Third Sister-in-law going? Are you very familiar with Miss Qin? Or have you met in private?”

Madam Jiang sat back on the stool in a second and wiped the oil from her mouth. “No, no, no. I’ve never seen her in private!”

Madam Chu said, “This is Mother’s courtyard. Mother likes silence. There’s only one maidservant in the courtyard.”

Ping’er?

As Su Xiaoxiao was thinking, she saw the little girl who had been redeemed by Madam Wei from the gambling den last night.

Ping’er didn’t know Su Xiaoxiao. She put down the broom and came over to bow to Madam Chu. “Young Madam.”

“Is Mother around?” Madam Chu asked.

“Yes,” Ping’er said. “In the house.”

Madam Chu brought Su Xiaoxiao up the steps.

Unlike the lively and heroic Madam Jiang and Madam Chen, Madam Chu was dignified and proper. Her actions were elegant and she had the temperament of an aristocratic wife.

“Mother, I’m here to see you,” Madam Chu said from the door.

“Come in.”

Madam Wei’s slightly cold voice came from inside.

“Miss Su is here too,” Chu said.

Madam Wei was sitting in the room arranging flowers. There were many flowers on the table and a lustrous jade vase.

As Madam Wei built the flower branches, she looked up at the two of them.

“Sit.”

Madam Chu sat down. “Miss Su, sit too.”

After Su Xiaoxiao sat down, Madam Chu introduced her to Madam Wei.

“Mother, Miss Su is Little Seven’s fiancée. ”

Click.

Madam Wei cut off a piece of jasmine.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her and said calmly, “I heard that you’re not feeling well, so I came to take a look at you.”

Madam Wei placed the cut flower branch aside. “I’m fine.”

Madam Chu said, “Mother, Miss Su is a physician. We can be at ease if we let her take a look.”

Su Xiaoxiao stood up, opened the medicine box, took out a pulse pillow, and placed it on the table. “Madam Wei, I’ll take your pulse.”

Madam Wei hesitated for a moment and placed her wrist on the pulse pillow.

Su Xiaoxiao took her pulse. “She’s indeed cold and depressed.” She raised her hand and touched Madam Wei’s face.

Madam Wei looked at her warily. “What are you doing?”

Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “Oh, touching the bones and pressing the acupoints is similar to taking your pulse.”

With that, she took the opportunity to touch the back of Madam Wei’s ear to tear it down..
