su xiaoxiao looked at su cheng, who had fallen asleep by the bed. “yes, my father is still waiting for him to wake up. we’re all waiting for him to wake up.”

“you’ve been busy all day. go rest. i’ll watch over here.”

“thank you, master.”

physician fu was already very accepting of this title. “ah, right, is lord wei alright?”

su xiaoxiao asked, “is it obvious?”

physician fu pointed behind su xiaoxiao.

su xiaoxiao turned around and little fatty’s body trembled.

wei ting stood at the door in pain. his hand was caught by the door…

su xiaoxiao was speechless.

su xiaoxiao only lay down when it was almost dawn. physician fu didn’t call her, planning to let her sleep in peace.

however, su xiaoxiao only slept for four hours before waking up. her body did not seem to be that tired. it seemed that her physique had improved a lot.

after she washed up, a disciple reported from outside, “physician su, someone is looking for you.”

who?”

“it’s a madam.”

su xiaoxiao never expected it to be madam wei.

madam wei gently placed her veiled hat on the table.

she had not slept the entire night. her eyes were bloodshot, and the bruises under her eyes were very obvious.

su xiaoxiao sat down at the round table with her and poured her a cup of tea.

“are you here to see wei ting?”

“i’m here to look for you. i have something to say to you… it’s about wei ting’s grandfather. ”

su xiaoxiao was all ears.

madam wei picked up the hot tea on the table, as if wanting to draw a trace of warmth from it. ‘you heard the conversation yesterday, right?”

su xiaoxiao coughed lightly. “i don’t have the habit of listening to others…”

madam wei said indifferently, “aren’t you very curious about what’s going on?”

su xiaoxiao said, “i already said that i didn’t eavesdrop… why didn’t he let go of his biological grandsons?”

madam wei shook her head slightly. “no, he didn’t kill wei ting’s brothers. it was northern yan. from the beginning to the end, the only people he wanted to deal with were lord wu an and wei yan.”

su xiaoxiao asked, “wei yan?”

“wei ting’s father,” madam wei said desolately.

su xiaoxiao asked, “is he doing this for power?”

madam wei confessed, “it’s for power and revenge. i wonder if wei ting has mentioned to you how wei yan and i met?”

su xiaoxiao nodded. “he mentioned that your brother was killed by a martial arts organization. old general wei happened to lead troops to exterminate that large martial arts sect. your father was grateful to old general wei for avenging his son’s death and got to know him.”

madam wei said bitterly, “the leader of that martial arts organization is my father.”

su xiaoxiao was surprised.

madam wei said, “my brother died tragically at the hands of lord wu an. my father swore to avenge my brother, but how can the wei family be so easy to deal with?”

su xiaoxiao was deep in thought. “so your father married you over?”

madam wei said in a low voice, “yes. but later on, his ambition swelled, and he was not satisfied with taking down lord wu an. he wanted more power and a higher status… i only stumbled upon his secret that year when i gave birth to

wei ting and knew that i was just a pawn of his.”

su xiaoxiao looked at her. “is this why you distanced yourself from your son? are you afraid that he will harm wei ting and his brothers, or that he will use them to threaten you?”

madam wei shook her head again. “i’m afraid he’ll use me to threaten them.” su xiaoxiao understood.

madam wei deliberately distanced herself from her sons because she wanted to downplay their feelings for her. it was best if they didn’t care about her and even hated her. this way, the man wouldn’t be able to use her to coerce them.

“but i still failed. i didn’t protect them…” madam wei’s voice gradually choked.

“what have i done all these years? if i had known… why would i…”

su xiaoxiao said, “things are unpredictable. it’s not your fault.”

she could not stop working just because her efforts had no results. not everyone was born a schemer who could calculate everything without missing anything.

moreover, not to mention that madam wei did not expect wei ting’s brothers to die, that man probably did not expect it either.

if he had not schemed against lord wu an and wei yan, he would not have harmed his grandchildren.

this was probably the outcome of asking a tiger for its skin. it was unknown if he had ever regretted it.

“wei ting is next door. do you… want to see him?” after su xiaoxiao finished speaking, she added, “he’s asleep.”

madam wei composed herself and went next door.

wei ting lay peacefully on the bed, sleeping soundly.

afraid of waking him up, madam wei tiptoed to the bed. then, she saw a pair of bandaged hands.

her eyebrows jumped. “what happened to him?”

su xiaoxiao said calmly, “oh, his hand was caught by the door.”

the dignified youngest son of the wei family, general wei, who had beheaded king hulie, actually had his hand caught by the door when he entered the room. no one was so unlucky.

madam wei sat down on the stool in front of the bed and looked at him without blinking.

a moment later, madam wei asked doubtfully, “are you sure he’s just asleep? why do i feel that something’s wrong?”

“he must be very sad after experiencing too much last night. in order to let him sleep better, i threw in a small handful of… calming incense.” su xiaoxiao lifted the lid of the small incense stove and looked at the half-filled vat of incense ash. the corners of her mouth twitched. her hand trembled last night. did she put too much?

this dosage could knock out a cow.

su xiaoxiao silently closed the lid of the incense stove and said weakly, “it’s really..

why was that unlucky child wei ting so rebellious last night?

qin canglan’s assassination caused a huge commotion in the capital. everyone was saying that he would not survive.

at the guo family, prime minister guo said coldly, “if he survives, do you imow what will happen to you?”

guo huan smiled. “grandfather, don’t worry. qin canglan will definitely die.” prime minister guo asked, “how did you know?”

guo huan smiled confidently and said, “the grand astronomer has approved qin canglan’s fate. when the general star dims, a general will definitely die. i’m following the heavens!”

seven days later, on a slightly cold evening, qin canglan opened his eyes slightly.

at this moment, the divine general woke up!
