Chapter 361: Memory Recovery
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After Su Cheng and Su MO left Qin Yun’s courtyard, they walked towards the east gate.
Su Cheng was anxious to see Su Ergou and walked in front.
Su MO put away his sword and followed behind him silently.
His visit to the residence today reminded him of something. The competition was in three days, but they had yet to tell his uncle about his background. Could it be that he had to compete with Qin Jiang in a muddle-headed manner?
This was not going to work.
Because when that day really came, even if they kept their mouths shut, the people present would not have any scruples.
What if Uncle found out about his background from someone else and triggered his childhood memories? Would he fall into a coma again?
What should he do?
Should he stop everyone from talking, or find a suitable time to tell Uncle before that?
Su Mo’s head hurt. He narrowed his eyes. Su Cheng was gone!
Su MO hurriedly looked around and realized that they had unknowingly arrived at his grandaunt’s courtyard when she was alive.
Su Cheng stood at the door in a daze, looking at the tightly shut courtyard door with a blank expression.
Su MO opened his mouth. “Uncle…”
Su Cheng pushed open the courtyard door.
Su MO paused.
The furnishings in the courtyard had not been changed. It was the same every day for thirty years. Steward Cen would bring people to sweep, trim the flowers, and repair the roof when necessary.
But they would not move anything without permission.
The swing set in the front yard was already stained with rust, and the stone table stools at the side were also showing signs of erosion.
The crabapple flowers bloomed beautifully, but they were not fragrant.
The koi tish in the small pond changed batch after batch but the number and size were the same as thirty years ago.
There was a small waterwheel on the edge of the pond.
Su Cheng walked over and shook the controller.
The waterwheel rattled to life.
His memories seemed to be spinning as strange images flashed through his mind.
A three-year-old child squatted beside the waterwheel and shook it with all his might. “Mother, the waterwheel is so fun! ”
The woman lay on the rattan chair and leisurely nibbled on a snack. “Stop playing. Come and rest for a while. Look at how sweaty you are.”
The little boy said, “But I’m not tired! I still want to play!”
The scene changed. The little boy was four years old. He ran over and said to the woman sitting on the rattan chair eating fruits, “Mother, why isn’t Father back yet?”
The woman glanced at him speechlessly. “Your father just left, okay?” The little boy tilted his head. “But I think he’s been gone for a long time.”
“Son, who’s the most beautiful woman in the world?”
“Mother!”
“Che’er!”
“Dad!”
The little boy was picked up by a burly man in armor.
The man smiled. “Did you listen to your mother at home today?” The little bean nodded vigorously. “Yes, yes! I’m very obedient!”
“Didn’t make your mother angry?
“No, no! My mother is the most beautiful and kindest woman in the world. Why would she be angry with her own son?”
“Rascal! Did you break my bracelet again?! How many bracelets have you broken this month?”
The woman grabbed the feather duster and rushed out. “I’m going to smash your butt today!”
The little bean trembled. “Okay, she’s a little angry.”
The scene changed. The sky was dark and gloomy. It was no longer that warm and lively courtyard.
On the mountain path, they encountered a pursuit. He was pushed into the cold lake by the woman.
The sword pierced through the woman’s body.
“Mother!”
He fell to the bottom of the lake in pain and despair.
Su Cheng had a splitting headache. He covered his head and fell to the ground.
Su Mo’s expression changed. “Uncle… Uncle… Uncle!”
“What did you say? Su Cheng fainted?”
Qin Jiang had just come out of Qin Yun’s room when he heard the servant’s report.
The servant replied, “Yes, I saw it with my own eyes.”
“How did this happen?” Qin Jiang muttered.
When Su Cheng left, he was still full of energy. It couldn’t be Su MO who knocked Su Cheng out.
cun Jiang asKea, “wnat nappeneac wnere you ramtf”
The servant shook his head. “I don’t know. I only saw that person enter Grand
Madam’s courtyard from afar. When he came out, he had already fainted. Young Master carried him out of the residence.”
Su MO would not let anything happen to him. He had also entered Su Huayin’s courtyard before, so there was no danger.
So… why did Su Cheng faint?
Could it be…
Coupled with the way Su Cheng addressed Su MO, Qin Jiang had a bold guess.
Su Cheng did not know his background, not because Qin Canglan and the others did not want to tell Su Cheng, but because Su Cheng could not accept Su Huayin’s death.
Su Cheng couldn’t take the shock.
“Ha, haha!”
“Heaven help me! Heaven help me!”
As long as he used his background to provoke Su Cheng, would he have to worry about Su Cheng not falling?
“Qin Canglan, I don’t care how you and Su Shuo nurture Su Cheng. I’ve found Su
Cheng’s Achilles heel!” “I will definitely win the competition in three days!” “The military power is mine!”
Su MO brought Su Cheng back to the medical center.
Su Xiaoxiao had just finished the last round of suturing. The patient’s injuries were not serious. He could go back and remove the stitches in five days.
Little Weizi sent them to the carriage.
Su MO brought Su Cheng to a room on the second floor.
There were wards for patients on the first and second floors, but the first floor was full.
Su Xiaoxiao went upstairs to take Su Cheng’s pulse.
While waiting for his pulse, Su MO told her about Su Cheng accidentally entering his grandaunt’s courtyard. “He should have recalled the past.”
Su Xiaoxiao stuffed his father’s arm back under the blanket. “It looks fine from his pulse. He’ll be fine after a nap.” Su MO was relieved. “Are you done here?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Almost.”
Su MO asked, “Do you need me to send you back to Pear Blossom Lane?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “No, I’ll rest at the clinic tonight. You’ve been busy all night.
Go back early.”
Su MO nodded.
After leaving the medical center, Su MO looked at the obscure sky and asked,
“Where is Fifth Brother?”
The secret guard who acted as the coachman replied, “Reporting to Eldest
Young Master, he’s arrived in Qing City.”
Su MO said indifferently, “Send a messenger pigeon to our people in Qing City and ask Fifth Brother to arrive in three days.”
The secret guard said, “Eldest Young Master, you want…”
Su Mo’s expression was solemn. “Qin Jiang… must have discovered something tonight. If he uses Uncle’s weakness to deal with Uncle, Uncle can only lose.”
The secret guard scratched his head. “But… are we really going to let Fifth Young Master be adopted by the Duke? Wouldn’t that hurt Fifth Young Master’s heart too much?”
Su MO said indifferently, “No eggs are intact when the nest is overturned. Once my granduncle’s lineage collapses, the Su family will not be far from destruction. This is not only for Uncle, but also for the entire Marquis of Zhenbei’s Estate. Besides, why would he be sad? He’s the one who doesn’t want to be the Marquis’ Estate’s young master the most, right?”
Uh… Fifth Young Master had probably gone too far..
