211 Entering the Marquis’s Estate

“Dad, do you want to eat noodles?”

Su Xiaoxiao’s voice pulled Father Su back to his senses.

He looked at Xiaohu in his arms, then at Erhu, who was being carried by Su Ergou, and Dahu, who was being held by Su Xiaoxiao. “What do you want to eat?”

“Noodles,” Xiaohu said.

Erhu and Dahu had no objections.

Physician Fu and Su Ergou only needed to fill their stomachs. One of them was so tired that he had no taste buds, and the other couldn’t wait to eat.

The group entered the noodle shop and found a big table facing the street in the lobby to sit down at.

The waiter came over and asked them what they wanted to eat.

Su Xiaoxiao asked him to recommend one or two.

The waiter was very enthusiastic. “From your accents, you just came from elsewhere, right? Then you have to try our braised noodles! In addition, we’ve been selling our tofu pudding for decades. You can try them.”

When the salted tofu pudding was served, Su Xiaoxiao finally understood why the waiter only recommended two bowls of tofu pudding.

It was salty and covered in sauce. Ordinary people were not used to it.

The three little ones ate till they looked like various types of emojis.

The only one who was working on the tofu pudding was Father Su.

“Dad, don’t you think this tofu pudding tastes bad?” Su Ergou asked.

“I don’t think so,” Father Su said.

“Then, then I’ll give you this bowl too.” Su Ergou pushed his bowl to his biological father.

Father Su took it without a word and ate it in a few mouthfuls.

Su Ergou was stunned.

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Father Su and did not say anything.

Su Xiaoxiao did not reveal to her family that Su Mo had come looking for her.

After dinner, Su Xiaoxiao went to the counter to settle the bill.

A bowl of braised noodles in the capital was actually sold for 30 copper coins a bowl. A bowl of tofu pudding cost eight copper coins. They ate a total of seven bowls of braised noodles, and two bowls of tofu pudding, which cost more than 200 copper coins.

As expected of the capital. The prices were really high.

On the way back, Xiaohu and Erhu fell asleep in Father Su and Su Ergou’s arms respectively.

Dahu persisted until he reached the door of the house before Su Xiaoxiao carried the little guy. His eyelids darkened, and his head tilted to the side. He fell asleep too.

Everyone was exhausted along the way and returned to their rooms to rest.

Su Xiaoxiao placed the three little ones on the bed. The capital was colder than Qingzhou. Even though it was March, the night was still very cold.

She covered the three of them with the blanket and planned to boil some water in the kitchen.

The moment she entered the backyard, she saw Su Cheng sitting on the small stool, looking up at the moon… in a daze.

“Dad?”

Su Xiaoxiao called him.

Su Cheng came back to his senses. “Are the children asleep?”

“They’re asleep.” Su Xiaoxiao walked over. “What are you looking at?”

Su Cheng said, “Nothing. It’s just… I can’t sleep.”

He scooped up another stool and let Su Xiaoxiao sit.

Su Xiaoxiao sat down and asked, “Are you not used to being in the capital?”

“Well…” Su Cheng frowned and thought for a moment.” Maybe… ”

Ever since he ate the bowl of salted tofu pudding, he had a strange feeling.

Father Su looked at the big fatty who had clearly lost weight again… No, she was now a small fatty.

“It’s getting late. Go to sleep. Don’t you have to wake up early tomorrow to treat someone?”

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t hide the fact that she would be going to make a house call at Su Yuan’s family. After all, Physician Fu was around.

“Dad, go to sleep too,” she said.

Su Cheng wanted to sit for a while longer, but he did not want his daughter to worry, so he returned to his room to lie down.

He rarely dreamed.

This time, for some reason, he dreamed of being chased in an a.s.sa.s.sination all night.

…

Physician Fu woke up early before dawn.

He thought that he was early. The moment he entered the backyard, Su Xiaoxiao was already feeding the foal in the courtyard.

The foal was two months old and had already started to eat some gra.s.s.

“Morning,” Su Xiaoxiao greeted. “I bought steamed buns. They’re hot in the pot.”

She had actually bought breakfast early? When did she wake up? The corners of Physician Fu’s mouth twitched fiercely. What was that saying about people being more talented and hardworking than you? This was it.

After breakfast, the Su family’s carriage arrived.

Su Xiaoxiao called Su Ergou up and got into the carriage with Physician Fu.

...

“I remember that there used to be a medicine shop there.” Physician Fu pointed at a pavilion on the street and said, “The medicinal herbs were cheap and good. My father often brings me to this shop to buy medicine.”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the plaque on the attic: Spring Breeze Pavilion.

The medicine shop had become a brothel.

Things had changed.

“What a big change,” Physician Fu sighed. “I can’t even name some new streets.”

“When did you leave the capital?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

“20 years ago,” Physician Fu said. “I’ve been away for too long. I really don’t know it anymore when I come back.”

He did not recognize it after only 20 years. What about 30 years?

30 years ago, Su Cheng was only a six-year-old child. What did he remember?

The carriage entered the Marquis Estate from the side door.

Su Mo was already waiting in the reception hall.

...

In this wave of teams returning to the capital, Su Mo and Qin Yun were the earliest to arrive. There was no other reason. In order to prevent his two brothers, who did not know what to say, from accidentally revealing Su Cheng’s matter to Qin Yun, he could only bring Qin Yun along.

“Eldest Young Master, They are here.”

The servant reported.

Su Mo raised his hand and the servant invited her in.

Physician Fu did not change much, but when Su Mo’s gaze landed on Su Xiaoxiao, he almost did not recognize her.

What happened on the way?

Why had this girl lost so much weight?

Of course, compared to those rich young ladies in the capital who would rather starve to maintain their figures, she was still a little fatty.

“You…”

Su Mo opened his mouth.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Where’s the patient?”

Su Xiaoxiao was as straightforward as a sharp knife.

Su Mo swallowed his question.

He couldn’t tell if Su Xiaoxiao really didn’t want to have anything to do with the Marquis Mansion or if she was pretending to be n.o.ble.

He said seriously, “Follow me.”

Su Mo personally brought Physician Fu and Su Xiaoxiao to the Old Marquis’s courtyard.

Many physicians had come to treat the Old Marquis. The servants were already used to it.

However, the doctor this time seemed to be different from before.

His clothes were a little plain, and he did not look like a famous physician from an aristocratic family. In addition, there was actually a little fat girl.

Was she an a.s.sistant?

Or was she a maidservant?

However, this girl did not look timid at all. Her eyebrows were cold and arrogant, and she was more imposing and dignified than the middle-aged doctor.

The servants secretly sized up Su Xiaoxiao. Su Mo glanced over and everyone lowered their heads.

The three of them came to the Old Marquis’s room.

The servant guarding the door bowed to Su Mo. “Eldest Young Master.”

Su Mo said, “Is Grandpa awake?”

The servant shook his head.

Su Mo’s expression turned solemn as he said to Physician Fu, “Half a month ago, my grandfather’s condition suddenly worsened… Are you confident?”

Physician Fu glanced at Su Xiaoxiao calmly and cleared his throat. “Well… we have to see the Old Marquis before coming to a conclusion.”

Su Mo looked at the calm Physician Fu and then at the expressionless Su Xiaoxiao. He nodded at the servant.

The servant pushed open the door and invited Physician Fu into the room.

Su Xiaoxiao paused and walked into the room.
