This competition seemed to be giving Su Cheng a chance, but it was actually preparing for Qin Jiang’s return.
After Qin Jiang’s background spread, he would definitely be questioned by the world. However, if Qin Jiang could defeat Qin Canglan’s legitimate son and prove with his strength that he was more qualified to inherit real power than Su Cheng, those who doubted him could only shut up obediently.
After all, it was not that the emperor did not give his legitimate son a chance.
It was because the legitimate son was disappointing.
Even if he asked Zhuge Liang to teach him, he would not be able to do anything.
The old marquis was puzzled. “Why is His Majesty suddenly so biased towards Qin Jiang?”
Qin Canglan frowned and said, “The Mighty Marquis entered the palace to see His Majesty last night.”
He was referring to Marquis Jing Shengming, Jing Yi’s grandfather, and Xiao Zhonghua’s grandfather.
Qin Canglan continued, “I guess he persuaded His Majesty to temporarily hand the military power to Qin Jiang.”
“Jing Shengming, that old fox!” The Old Marquis clenched his fists. “What are your plans next? Are you really going to let Cheng’er compete with Qin Jiang in a month? You should know that Cheng’er has no chance of winning.”
The Old Marquis did not ask what the competition was.

Indeed, Qin Jiang’s potential was not considered top-notch, but the efforts of the two estates were spent nurturing him for 20 years. No matter how talented Su Cheng was, it was impossible for him to catch up to him in a month. The Old Marquis asked, “Must it be Cheng’er?”
Qin Canglan thought for a moment. “Ergou is fine too. He’s Cheng’er’s son. If he can defeat Qin Jiang, His Majesty should have nothing to say. But Ergou is only fourteen… How can he be Qin Jiang’s match?”
The Old Marquis’s expression turned solemn. “Old Qin, we can’t hand over our military power. ”
Qin Canglan nodded. “I understand.”
If they handed it over, the Qin family would be the next Wei family.
The Old Marquis closed his eyes. “Try your best to teach Cheng’er this month. If it really comes to that… I’ll pass on Fifth Brother to Cheng’er!” On the way back to the capital, Fifth Brother sneezed fiercely!
This was the second time in a month that he sneezed wildly.
Was his family talking too much about him?
Su Cheng did not know that he was about to be ravaged by two big shots. It was not dawn yet. With dark circles under his eyes, he went to the kitchen to help his daughter.
Yesterday, another business came from Spring Breeze Restaurant. This time, it was not for Su Cheng’s face. The snacks made by Su Xiaoxiao last time were really too popular.
The girls of Spring Breeze Restaurant were still complaining that it was not Su Cheng who delivered the goods and were determined never to do his business again. Unexpectedly, they were slapped in the face a few days later.
Su Xiaoxiao promised to supply 200 every day, starting at the beginning of April.
Coincidentally, Su Ergou went to school on the first of April, so he naturally couldn’t help Su Xiaoxiao.
“Dad, why are you so early?” In the kitchen, Su Xiaoxiao, who was kneading dough, looked up and saw Su Cheng walking in with sleepy eyes. Su Cheng yawned. “I’ll make snacks with you.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “No need. It’s only 200. I can do it. Go sleep.”
Su Cheng shook his head like a rattle drum and patted his face to wake up. “I’ll sleep later.”
He refused to leave no matter what, so Su Xiaoxiao could only agree to stay and help.
Although he usually slacked off, that was because Wei Ting and Su Ergou were around. He could count on his son-in-law and son to do it.
When he was the only helper left beside Su Xiaoxiao, he still worked hard.
His face was dark from the stove ash.
“Eh? Didn’t you only need to make 200?” He had just counted and they had made enough, but his daughter went to knead new dough.
Su Xiaoxiao placed the kneaded dough into the alms bowl to raise it. “Ergou is growing and gets hungry quickly. I’ll make a few boxes of snacks for him.” Su Cheng’s nose suddenly felt sour.
The two children grew up without their mother… his daughter was so sensible that it made one’s heart ache.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t know what Father Su was thinking. She cut a batch of dried plum vegetables. “I made some for Dad too.”
“Huh?” Su Cheng did not react. “Why are you cooking for me? I don’t have to worry about food at home.”
His gaze landed on a few exquisite wooden bowls with lids. “What are these
Su Xiaoxiao said, “They’re for Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu.”
The little fellows liked to choose cutlery when eating, so Su Cheng did not take it to heart.
After breakfast, Su MO and his two brothers came.
Su Qi and Su Yu were also studying in the Directorate. When the two of them learned that Su Ergou was also going to enter the Directorate, they had to follow no matter what..
