General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming

189 Negotiation

Su Ergou felt that Changping must be bragging when he said that it was used by the emperor. However, Young Master Xiang’s status was precious. As his sidekick, what Changping gave him must be something good.

Su Ergou’s logic was right.

However, Wei Ting recognized this medicine at a glance. It was indeed for the palace.

“Who gave it to you?” he asked.

“I can’t say.” Su Ergou blinked. “But I can gesture!”

He gestured wildly.

“Do you understand, Brother-in-law?”

Wei Ting was speechless.

In the backyard, Su Xiaoxiao shouted, “Ergou! Come and help!”

“Coming, Sister!” Su Ergou quickly left.

Wei Ting returned to the east room with the medicine.

A certain man in black flashed in like a ghost.

He looked dispirited as if he had been beaten up many times.

Wei Ting frowned. “What’s wrong with you now?”

He touched his butt.

Wei Ting said, “Is your butt… impure again?”

Yuchi Xiu said with a wooden expression, “No, it’s not my butt this time. It’s my chest. Don’t ask. I don’t want to say.”

Wei Ting didn’t want to ask anyway.

Wei Ting said, “Then why are you touching your butt?”

Yuchi Xiu said aggrievedly, “My butt is on fire. It hurts.”

Wei Ting looked at him speechlessly. Did it really hurt because of the heat…

Yuchi Xiu saw the medicine bottle in Wei Ting’s hand. “Sir, what’s that in your hand?”

Wei Ting threw the medicine bottle at him.

He caught it and took a look. “Yo, do you use the white jade ointment from the palace? If not I’ll use it to wipe my butt.”

His butt really hurt!

It was all that woman’s fault!

She was really… really too much!

Yuchi Xiu was so angry that he pulled out the cork!

Just like pulling out that woman’s head!

Wait.

The smell was wrong.

“Sir!” He sniffed the white jade ointment. “Where did you get it?”

Wei Ting said, “Ergou gave it to me.”

Yuchi Xiu gasped. “He actually wanted to poison you! No, he’s just a brat. How can he know how to poison?”

Wei Ting’s eyes were cold. Yuchi Xiu was good at giving people nicknames.

Yuchi Xiu’s expression turned solemn. “I know! It must be that girl! She wants to kill Lord!”

Wei Ting said coldly, “If you don’t use your brain, should I cut it off for you?”

Yuchi Xiu took a step back and held his head. “Sir, it’s not good to be too cruel.”

Wei Ting snorted.

Yuchi Xiu couldn’t figure out how he had angered his lord. His lord’s temper had been getting harder and harder to figure out recently.

Wei Ting looked at the white jade ointment on the table and his expression turned cold.

“Sister, I have something to tell you,” Su Ergou said.

“What is it?” Su Xiaoxiao continued to chop firewood.

As Su Ergou tied up the firewood his sister had prepared, he said, “Well, Changping said that Young Master Xiang coughed a little at night and asked me if I had any cough snacks.”

Su Xiaoxiao broke a piece of wood. “Can’t he just take medicine?”

Su Ergou said, “Changping said that Young Master Xiang has taken medicine for so long that he wants to vomit when he smells the medicine.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “You agreed?”

Su Ergou muttered, “I said I’ll ask on his behalf.”

Su Xiaoxiao put down her machete. “Alright, I’ll stew some loquat snow pear cream.”

Wei Ting and Yuchi Xiu naturally heard the siblings’ conversation clearly.

Yuchi Xiu said belatedly, “It’s that cunning Xiao Zhonghua!”

Wei Ting tapped his fingertips on the table.

When his lord did this, he was scheming.

Yuchi Xiu was so excited that his eyes glowed green. “Sir! Are you going to assassinate Xiao Zhonghua?! Sir! I can do it!”

...

Wei Ting said, “Can’t you think of anything else other than killing?”

Yuchi Xiu spread his hands. “But I’m an assassin.”

After a pause, his eyes lit up again.

“I understand! Poison Xiao Zhonghua! Into that girl’s snow pear cream! Give Xiao Zhonghua a taste of his own medicine!”

…

It was almost evening, and the sun was setting.

Su Yuan came out of Physician Fu’s house and got into the carriage regretfully.

The coachman asked, “Master, does Old Madam Fu not agree?”

Su Yuan pinched his aching eyebrows helplessly. “Forget it, let’s go back.”

The coachman said, “Master, you don’t look too good. I’ll find an inn for you first. Settle down and return to the prefecture city tomorrow morning.”

“No,” Su Yuan said. “Let’s go back overnight.”

...

“Yes.” The coachman waved the horsewhip and slowly drove the carriage out of Spring Willow Lane.

“Zhang Dao, you bastard! You still have the guts to come back! Damn it! I’ve blocked your house for a month! Let’s see where you can run this time!”

Su Yuan had not slept for a few nights. Coupled with the stuffiness in the carriage, he could not breathe. However, just as he pushed the window open, he saw someone fighting in the alley.

“You bastard! I’ll beat you to death!”

Su Yuan was about to step forward to stop him when he heard the person say, “You found someone to bully my daughter! I think you’re tired of living! If you have the guts, come at me! I respected you as a man! Are you still a f*cking man to have such bad ideas about my daughter!”

“Master?” the coachman asked him.

“Forget it, let’s go.” Su Yuan lowered the car window and brushed past Su Cheng, who was beating Zhang Dao up.

Recently, the Su family had not been lucky. First, there was the matter of framing the Su family. Although Su Erlang took the blame, the family’s reputation had been affected.

In addition, Su Dalang had been extorted for another 500 taels and they lost another 100 taels framing Su Xiaoxiao. The Su family had lost all their money.

Su Can said, “Dad, Erlang and I went to the government office to ask. Yuniang has divorced Zheng Yuanbo, and her household registration has returned to our Su family. If she wants to establish her own family, she has to move her household registration out! Without our Su family’s agreement, she can’t move!”

In other words, they could take the opportunity to extort Su Yuniang.

In the past, they did not know that Su Yuniang was so rich. Every time Su Yuniang took ten or twenty taels from her in-laws, they felt that it was not easy.

Now that he thought about it, Su Yuniang was dismissing a beggar with that money!

“Will Sister give it to us?” Su Erlang asked.

Su Can snorted. “She’s from the Su family, and what’s hers belongs to the Su family! She has to give it to me!”

“Give what?”

Su Yuniang slowly walked in.

Su Can was stunned.

He looked at Su Yuniang and then behind her. Fatty Su, who was usually holding a butcher knife beside her, was nowhere to be seen. His confidence rose. “Heh, you still have the cheek to come back!”

Su Yuniang sneered. “Didn’t Dad say that? I’m from the Su family. Of course, I can come back.”

Su Can did not expect Su Yuniang to hear his words just now. This was awkward.

He coughed lightly and asked fiercely, “Aren’t you doing very well in the Su family? Why did you come back?”

Su Yuniang said, “I came back to get the household register. If I want to establish my own household, I need the Su family’s signature to allow me to transfer the household register.”

She had openly placed her weakness on the surface, catching the Su family off guard.

Su Yuniang said, “Let’s not beat around the bush. We’re all family. I don’t want to make things too ugly. If you want money, I can give it to you. Just don’t go overboard. Mother and Third Brother are still at home. Even if it’s for them, I won’t be stingy with those worldly possessions. However, I have a condition!”

Old Master Su said, “Tell me.”

Su Yuniang said seriously, “I want to know where the jade pendant that our family sold 30 years ago came from!”
