Chapter 338 - Who Said The Heavens Were

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Su Sanlang, Madam Zhao, and Su Xiaoling giggled and finally stopped putting food into Su Xiaolu’s bowl.

Su Xiaolu was full. She rarely ate until she was full. Today was an exception.

Therefore, after dinner, she made herself some digestive medicine and soaked it in water. She even injected two needles into her food acupoint to help her digestion.

She was really too full.

She began to prepare the medicine. Su Xiaoling went to Su Xiaolu’s side. “Xiaolu, is there anything I can help with?”

Su Xiaolu gave Su Xiaoling a few herbs and said, “Help me grind them all.”

As Su Xiaoling ground the herbs, she asked, “Xiaolu, what are these herbs for? Who are they for?”

Su Xiaoling was a little worried about Madam Zhao’s health. Had she been too worried recently?

Su Xiaolu narrowed her eyes and said, “This is something I prepared for those people. I can’t do anything to them openly, but I can’t do nothing.”

Those people really could not do anything to them.

It was definitely impossible to kill them all. Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao could not do such a thing. It was a small matter to make them suffer unknowingly.

When no one knew what was going on, it was Heavenly Punishment.

This was the unified definition of things that people had never understood since ancient times.

Regardless of what the truth was, the reason was Heavenly Punishment and retribution.

When Su Xiaoling heard this, she became even more diligent. She smiled and said, “What else do you want to do? I’ll help you.”

Su Xiaolu chuckled. The two sisters worked faster together.

After applying the medicine that had been boiled into water to the door during the night, she returned to her room.

Su Xiaoling also cooked some hangover soup for Su Chong, Su Hua, and Zhou Heng to drink when they returned tonight.

After doing all this, the two sisters returned to their rooms to rest.

At Lin Pingsheng’s house.

The teacher and students were still drinking and chatting.

Lin Pingsheng told Su Chong and Su Hua about the Su family’s actions in the past few days.

Lin Pingsheng praised Su Chong and Su Hua’s articles. When Zhou Heng was mentioned, he felt that Zhou Heng’s results should have been better.

Zhou Heng first apologized to Lin Pingsheng and revealed his identity.

After knowing the truth, Lin Pingsheng was relieved. He only needed to think for a moment to know what was going on.

He encouraged Zhou Heng. Zhou Heng had a unique understanding and was magnanimous. If he could become an emperor, he would definitely be a good emperor who thought of kindness and the world. He naturally had to support such a good seedling.

When Su Chong and the others left Lin Pingsheng’s house, it was already past midnight. The three of them helped each other back.

After returning home, they went to the kitchen and looked at the hangover soup in the pot. Su Chong sighed. “Home is still the best.”

Many comforts were hidden in the easily overlooked details.

After drinking the hangover soup, the three of them quietly returned to their rooms to sleep.

The next morning, everyone was woken up by the knocking on the door.

Madam Wang and Old Master Su came again with Su Dalang and Su Erlang.

To them, this was just a trip. Anyway, there was no loss. They might succeed today.

Su Xiaolu got up and went to open the door.

The moment the door opened, a gust of wind blew past Old Master Su and the rest.

“Why are you knocking?”

Su Xiaolu spoke bluntly.

Seeing Su Xiaolu, Old Master Su and the others were shocked.

Madam Wang cried out in fear. She looked at Su Xiaolu in shock. “Y-you’re back???”

Su Dalang and Su Erlang were first shocked, then disappointed. If Su Chong and the others returned, wouldn’t there be no chance?!

Su Xiaolu rolled her eyes. “That’s right. We’re all back. All of us have to come back in one piece. Let me tell you, my second brother scored number one in the entire Furongzhou. He’s undoubtedly the Top Scorer. Hahaha… He’s awesome. He brought glory to our family.”

“I’m really sorry that I didn’t let you have your wish again. It’s all thanks to our family being expelled. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be today. Even if you die here from anger today, there’s nothing you can do. This can’t be changed.”

Su Xiaolu was extremely proud when she mentioned Su Chong and Su Hua.

She was proud and happy, but Old Master Su and Madam Wang were not too happy because all this glory had nothing to do with them.

When the fate of Su Chong, Su Hua, and the others was unknown, they could still come and pester them. Now that they were back, they could not offend them.

Su Xiaolu added, “My second brother is so good. He might even be the top scorer in the Spring Quarter Examinations next year.”

Old Master Su’s eyes almost popped out. Top scholar, top scholar!

Their overbearing aura immediately disappeared.

Su Dalang and Su Erlang looked a little hesitant. They couldn’t help but think how good it would have been if they hadn’t separated Su Sanlang’s family back then. Now, they would have a share of the glory that Su Chong and Su Hua had earned.

Madam Wang was even more worried. When she saw Su Chong and Su Hua come out, she hurriedly said, “Chong, Hua, look at your grandmother. I’m your grandmother.”

Old Master Su looked expectant and desperately hoped that Su Chong and Su Hua could call him ‘grandpa’.

Su Chong and Su Hua had cold expressions. Su Hua said coldly, “Our family has nothing to do with you. If you dare to come to my house again, don’t blame me for being rude to you.”

Since ancient times, people did not fight with officials. Apart from power, it was also because they had different strategies and knowledge. Smart people could always make people die without knowing.

Su Hua’s eyes were cold. He looked at Old Master Su and said coldly, “Old Master Su, regardless of whether Eldest Brother and I are smart or not, we brothers remember clearly what you did to us. On the day our sister was born, our family was forced to leave. In the cold winter, you snatched everything away. The wild animals, money, our family’s battle with the evil tiger, the scene of Su Shun and Su Qing enrolling in school that year, and the needle pricking the doll. I remember everything clearly. What makes you think we will forgive you?”

The indifference of his two grandsons and Su Hua’s recounts made Old Master Su’s face burn with anxiety. Those little things were actually hatred.

Old Master Su was filled with regret. He couldn’t help but wonder if he had been gentler back then and didn’t want to use Su Sanlang’s family, could he have warmed his third son’s heart?

Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in life. Now, it was too late. Su Chong and Su Hua’s excellence had already been decided.

“You, if you don’t acknowledge your ancestors, you’ll be punished by the heavens. Heavens… open your eyes.”

Madam Wang immediately cried. She felt terrible. Su Sanlang’s family had soared just like that. Her heart ached. When she thought about how she could not get anything, she felt extremely pained. She had thought that these two fools were useless, but she did not expect them to become so smart.

Madam Wang thought about how rich this family would be in the future. Her entire body hurt, so she simply rolled around and threw a tantrum. As usual, she was not having a good time. She also wanted to make Su Sanlang’s family uncomfortable.
