Chapter 87 Su Xiao Falls for His Mother

The Wang family ate that meal.

Si Yao jumped through the window into several rooms to search, but found no letters.

If that's the case, then there's no evidence to suggest that she did anything.

She left satisfied.

Qingbao slowly peeked out from behind her.

Upon reaching the front yard, the little baby saw that all the Wang family members had collapsed and sighed.

*

The belated investiture ceremony was held as scheduled according to the Emperor's oral decree.

Su Xiao was helped out of the room, dressed in armor with black mist swirling around his face.

Even under the sun, I couldn't feel any warmth.

Si Yao also donned red armor and stood beside Su Xiao, looking extremely well-matched.

"Brother Xiao, you must not forget my matter. If His Majesty rescinds the punishment against me, our Su family will have two generals, something that others would beg for."

Therefore, she was dressed very smartly and neatly today, her brand-new armor was spotless, and she had the demeanor of a general.

Su Xiao didn't say much, just nodded, "I'll remember."

After all, it is not easy to make military achievements. If he is dismissed from his post because Si Yao privately mobilized troops to rescue him, then his Yao'er would be truly wronged.

Si Yao smiled, took his arm, and went out.

Her smile vanished instantly upon seeing Si He and her daughter.

"Sihe, today is our ceremony to recognize our military achievements. What are you going there for?"

Si He was dressed elegantly and appropriately, her attire slightly formal, and her face was made up with makeup, making her look as fresh and delicate as a peach blossom.

What a beautiful and dignified general's wife!

Si He glanced at her indifferently, did not answer, and turned to get into the carriage.

Qingbao, wearing a little jacket and still carrying her little cloth bag, hopped onto the carriage.

He even made a mischievous face at Si Yao.

—My mother is a general's wife, does she need to answer you?

Si Yao frowned and stomped her foot, "Brother Xiao, look at them, they don't take us seriously at all."

Su Xiao, standing to the side, remained motionless, his eyes fixed on Si He.

In his memory, Sihe was always dressed in coarse cloth, without makeup, and she was efficient and capable in doing housework and farm work without ever complaining.

Now she was dressed in gorgeous clothes, adorned with pearls and jade, and her face was exquisite and radiant, a look he had never seen before.

Su Xiao's heart was pounding.

"I never expected her to look so beautiful when she dressed up."

“Brother Xiao, there are girls dressed like that all over the capital, and you actually think she looks good.”

Seeing that Su Xiao ignored her, Si Yao became extremely jealous.

She was dressed in full armor, and she was clearly the perfect match for him.

Su Xiao glanced at her, his gaze instantly darkening. "Let's go."

The difference in temperament is too great.

He intended to walk quickly over and share a carriage with Sihe.

But Si He ordered the driver to drive away. When Su Xiao got closer, he only caught a glimpse of the curtain that had been blown open by the wind.

A breathtakingly beautiful profile.

Sihe is so beautiful.

How come he never noticed before?

"What kind of work are you doing? You let her drive away with the best carriage in the whole mansion! Where is the general's carriage? Bring it here right now!"

Si Yao snapped at her servants, "If you don't do a good job, you'll be punished according to military law!"

"No need, I'll ride over on horseback." Su Xiao raised his hand, but his gaze did not leave Si He's carriage.

A servant brought his warhorse, and he leaped onto it, brandishing his whip as he chased after Si He.

Si Yao was stunned, standing there as if consumed by jealousy.

Su Mengmeng stood there, looking helpless. "Mom, Dad went riding a horse, what are we still..."

"Mother will take you horseback riding! You are the daughter of two generals, you can't ride in a carriage like those delicate women, that's really pretentious!"

Si Yao had someone bring her horse, first helped Su Mengmeng onto it, then nimbly mounted herself and chased after Su Xiao.

Su Mengmeng was a little scared and huddled in her mother's arms.

"What are you afraid of? What your father needs is a heroine who can ride alongside him into battle, not a weakling who can only sit in a carriage."

Si Yao noticed that her daughter was scared and immediately scolded her.

Su Mengmeng closed her eyes and said in a trembling voice, "Mengmeng understands, Mengmeng understands."

Su Xiao, who was ahead, did not wait for them.

Instead, they slowed down and rode alongside the carriage.

"Sihe, I'll protect you," Su Xiao reminded her, afraid that Sihe wouldn't know he was right by the car window.

Si He gently lifted the carriage curtain and looked at him with a slight frown.

Su Xiao raised his chin, his face full of arrogance, "You are my wife, it is only right that I treat you this way."

Si He stared at him, lost in thought.

“You don’t need to be touched, this is what I should do,” Su Xiao continued.

Si He:......

After hesitating for a moment, she finally spoke, "Your horse hoof stepped in dog poop, it smells a bit."

Su Xiao: !!!

Where did this dog poop come from?

"Someone come here!"

The men following behind dismounted to inspect Su Xiao's horse's hooves.

"Reporting to the general, there was dog poop, and it was all melted by stepping on it."

Looking back at the road, sure enough, there was a dog poop mark on every hoof.

Su Xiao's face darkened. "Clean it up."

While they were cleaning the dog poop off the horses' hooves.

Sihe's carriage had already sped away.

Qingbao covered her mouth and laughed so hard she almost fell over. The spot where she was sitting was just big enough for her to half-lie down.

"How naughty!" Si He poked Qing Bao's head with her slender fingertips.

Qingbao showed her little baby teeth and smiled adorably.

"Stepping in dog poop is a good omen. Qingbao just gave him a lucky break. He hasn't even thanked Qingbao yet."

"But Mother looks so beautiful in this outfit today, even that scumbag father is staring at her."

Qingbao flattered her mother.

Si He gently touched her cheek and smiled slightly, "I'm not used to it."

"Get used to it, and your scumbag dad will regret it someday." Qingbao nodded her little head vigorously.

The little bird on its head nodded along with it.

There was nothing she could do; her hair hadn't grown out yet, so she could only wear it in two little buns.

"Regret is useless. I will never look back on the decisions I've made." Si He has always been resolute.

For example, he insisted on going his own way and took Qingbao away from the Si and Su families, living a hard and difficult life.

For example, she has been searching for her adoptive parents for many years without giving up, and is still searching to this day.

She never regrets the decisions she makes.

No matter how difficult it is to get a divorce, she is determined to leave.

*

At the palace gate.

Officials' family members' carriages are not allowed to enter.

The Fifth Princess and her entourage were waiting at the palace gate early in the morning when they saw the Su family's carriage arrive.

She waved to Si He and smiled slightly, "Si He, come here quickly."

Sihe got off the carriage and walked over with Qingbao.

Upon seeing her mother bow, Qingbao sweetly greeted her, "Greetings, Princess! I pay my respects."

Xia Changle's heart melted, and she squatted down to rub Qingbao's little face.

"So cute! You and your daughter are both beautiful and adorable. It's a feast for the eyes to see you here. Lots of people are looking at you."

Si He lowered her head slightly, "Princess, please don't tease us."

"This is not a joke, it is clearly sincere. Even my father's concubines rarely have your beauty."

Xia Changle said with a smile, "Qingbao, you asked me to come here to meet you, it's because..."

Qingbao smiled and pointed at the man hiding in the corner.

"Let's go in together."
