Chapter 181 - 181 Apology

181 Apology

In a room, Qin Yun sat on the bed with a swollen face. A servant used an ice bag to apply the swelling.

The servant and the attendant had been beaten 50 times and had long fainted.

At this moment, a few other servants were serving him.

Qin Yun snorted. “Just you wait. Brother-in-law will definitely stand up for me!”

The servant who was applying an ice pack for him said, “Little High Duke, Jing Yi is Third… Young Master’s cousin.”

Qin Yun said without thinking, “So what if he’s his cousin? Is he very close? My sister is about to marry him. He’s my brother-in-law! I’m his brother-in-law! No matter what, he has to help me! Moreover, that wretched slave even whipped me! It’s fine if Jing Yi didn’t stop me, but he even watched him bully me! Cousin won’t side with Jing Yi!”

The servant said awkwardly, “Are you angry with that little servant, or with the Young Marquis?”

“That wretched slave can forget about escaping!” Qin Yun continued. “By the way, what did my uncle say? Did you capture the wretched slave?”

The servant’s smile was uglier than his crying. “No, he’s already gone.”

Qin Yun’s expression changed. “What?!”

Su Xiaoxiao ended today’s business.

She thought that such a big thing had happened and that their business would be ruined two days later tomorrow. Who would have thought that Steward Yu would come over and say that the banquet would only open at noon? They could sleep more tomorrow and come over later.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Do you want to… ask your master again? We beat up your relative.”

Steward Yu smiled. “I’ve investigated clearly. Brother Ergou is not at fault for what happened today. My master can’t leave today and asked me to convey his apology. He will discipline the little High Duke well later.”

On the way back, Su Ergou couldn’t help but say, “Sister, this family doesn’t seem bad.”

“Yes.” Su Xiaoxiao nodded and didn’t deny it.

However, she could not rule out another possibility. The other party had done this out of courtesy to Grandmaster Hui Jue and Jing Yi.

When they arrived at the inn, Manager Sun had yet to return. Like Su Xiaoxiao, he was a workaholic.

Seeing that Xiaowu was driving the carriage again, Su Xiaoxiao stopped him. “Xiaowu, eat something first. We’ll pick up Manager Sun later.”

Xiaowu’s heart warmed. “Yes, Boss.”

Su Xiaoxiao brought Su Ergou into the inn.

A familiar voice came from behind. “Miss Su!”

Su Xiaoxiao turned around. “Changping?”

She said to Su Ergou, “Go up first.”

“Oh.” Su Ergou obediently went upstairs.

Changping jumped out of the carriage and came to Su Xiaoxiao. He handed the bag in his arms to her and curled his lips. “Here.”

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t take it.

Changping panicked. “Take it!”

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “I don’t even know what’s inside. Why should I take it?”

“It’s not you… I…that…” Changping made Su Xiaoxiao speechless. Could he harm her? Didn’t she know whose servant he was?

If not for his young master’s instructions, would he have come over to deliver something to her? Since his young master was taking action, he had to have something good!

“Young Master asked me to give it to you,” Chang Ping explained unwillingly. “There’s Young Master’s compensation and the money your brother earned from Young Master.”

His young master was really biased!

It was as if this country bumpkin was his biological brother-in-law!

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. “In that case, I’ll reluctantly accept it.”

Changping rolled his eyes. Did she want him to accept the money on her behalf?

Su Xiaoxiao said fiercely, “I caught you rolling your eyes again. I’ll tell your young master!”

Changping’s eyes froze. “I, no. I have cramps in my eyes.”

With that, he got into the carriage dejectedly.

Su Xiaoxiao carried her bag upstairs.

Su Ergou was sitting alone in the house, feeling dejected.

It was fine if he was whipped. He was not afraid of pain. Besides, he had already whipped that person back.

His heart ached for his silver. That little bastard owed him 60 taels. He was so angry just now that he forgot to ask him for it.

So sad.

Knock, knock, knock.

There was a knock on the door.

“Ergou, it’s me.”

Su Xiaoxiao.

“Sister, I want to sleep for a while,” Su Ergou whispered.

Su Xiaoxiao pushed the door open.

Su Ergou muttered, “Sister, I said I want to sleep…”

Su Xiaoxiao took out one gold ingot, two gold ingots, three, four, five… She took a total of twelve.

One ingot was worth five taels.

Su Ergou’s eyes widened. “Sister?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “The money you earned was sent over.”

“I, I, I, I…” Su Ergou came to the stool excitedly and sat down. He looked at the table that was full… He didn’t care. It was a big table!

“Were they sent back? Did I earn all of them?”

“Yes, you earned it.”

She naturally knew that it was not given by Qin Yun. It was Young Master Xiang’s own idea. He was cleaning up his brother-in-law’s mess.

However, seeing how happy Ergou was, she saw through it and did not say anything.

Su Ergou was so excited that he rolled on the bed.

This was the money he earned.

He earned it herself.

This was the first time he had earned so much money.

He was really capable!

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Alright, I’ll go over first. Sleep for a while.”

Su Ergou scratched his head. “Ah, Sister, I’m not sleepy anymore.”

Su Xiaoxiao threw him a bottle of ointment. “If you’re not tired, apply the ointment. Go downstairs for dinner later.”

“Alright!”

Actually, he did not need to apply medication. He had already recovered with his tenacious silver superpower!

Su Ergou, who had a swollen face, hugged the silver.

Su Xiaoxiao returned to her room. The three little ones and Wei Ting were also there.

The first and third children had clearly just returned from outside. Wei Ting was wiping their sweat, and the soles of their shoes were still stained with sand.

There was no sand around Half Moon Mountain.

She did not believe that he had brought the children to play with the sand. He was most likely completing some secret mission.

How could ordinary people do anything with so many children?

In other words, the three of them were obedient and never ran around or cried.

Su Xiaoxiao walked over. “Let me do it.”

It was really difficult for him to wipe the sweat with a cloth.

Dahu grabbed the towel in his stinky father’s hand with both hands and snorted. “Mother, come!”

Wei Ting chuckled. “You’re capable!”

“Mother, here.” Dahu handed over the towel and his little head.

Erhu and Xiaohu were not to be outdone. They handed over their little heads.

The corners of Wei Ting’s mouth twitched. They dodged when he wiped them but when it came to their mother, they would offer themselves.

Wait, what did he mean by their mother?

It was fine if he used the term to coax the three brats, but how could he shout like this in his heart?

He must have become used to coaxing the children.

He had to pay more attention in the future and could not call her that anymore.

Xiaohu suddenly covered his butt and jumped in front of Wei Ting. “Dad, poop stinks.”

Wei Ting snorted. “Aren’t you going to look for your mother this time?”
