CH 59

Fortunately, the kiss marks weren’t above her neck and could barely be covered with a crossed collar top and a skirt. Mother Su loved her daughter sincerely. When she heard that Shen Qi woke up, she couldn’t wait outside. She wanted to come in to personally dress up her little daughter.

(T/N: a picture of a crossed collar top and a skirt.)

Shen Qi was excited, mother Su was even more excited. She gently combed Shen Qi’s long hair for her while choking with sobs and emotions: “When you were a child, mother also combed your hair like this...... It’s been so long...... so long mother hasn’t combed my Little Seven’s hair......”

Perhaps mother and child were connected in heart. Perhaps Shen Qi longed for mother’s love for too long. When mother Su cried, Shen Qi also wanted to cry. She resisted and smiled in the mirror, looking at mother Su in the mirror, and said: “As long as Madam S...... as long as mother...... wants to, you can comb Little Seven’s hair every day......”

“Good......” Mother Su was tearful, but the more she smiled the happier she felt.

After combing her hair, mother Su coughed softly a few times. Shen Qi was worried about her health, but she said it wasn’t serious. The daughter was better than any elixir around her. She quickly chose jewelry and clothes for Shen Qi while her mouth kept talking: “Little Seven looks good on this and this one too. Hmm...... there’s not enough jewelry in the makeup box. That’s not good. After breakfast, your mother will take you back to Zhenlong Pavilion to buy more for you!”

Then she turned to look at Shen Qi from left to right again and finally decided: “One didn’t expect mother’s Little Seven to look so beautiful in cherry pink. We will have to make a few more after going out together!”

“Mother...... It’s Little Seven’s fault for oversleeping.” Shen Qi was a little embarrassed. It was an absurd night. She got up late today. She didn’t know when Shen Zhonghua sent her back.

“Oversleeping is good. It shows that Little Seven slept well.” Mother Su didn’t blame her. She took Shen Qi’s little hand and pulled her, walking toward the inner courtyard: “Let’s go eat quickly and try your mother’s craftsmanship. Mother made you the garland chrysanthemum mash that you liked most when you were a child.”

Shen Qi originally thought that it was three poles in the day and it must be mother Su who accompanied her to eat, but she didn’t expect that waiting for her to arrive at the hall was everyone sitting orderly at the round table. When they saw her coming, everyone greeted her with beaming smiles.

Shen Qi was flattered.

Later, Shen Qi heard that the emperor wanted to ask about military affairs a few days ago in the imperial court. Sitting in the hall, he asked the three Su’s generals. The prime minister said that the generals had taken leave to accompany the newly found young miss of the Su family. He also asked about Prince Xuan who had suddenly gained momentum recently but was also told that Shen Zhonghua had also asked for leave. The reason was: physical discomfort.

Of course, these were all things later.

Su Lianxue wasn’t on the table. Shen Qi didn’t ask much but she wasn’t stupid.

After hearing the truth in Shen Zhonghua and mother Qiu’s mouth, Shen Qi thought about it for a few days. Shen Qi probably guessed why Su Lianxue deliberately made things difficult, humiliated and framed her in the previous life and this life.

During the meal, her parents and older brothers were busy picking up dishes for her. For a moment, they forgot the rules in the general’s residence: no words during meals. Everyone expressed goodwill to Shen Qi and talked to her. What Shen Qi most unexpectedly was, the seemingly formidable, majestic and not easy to approach, eldest brother Su Antai picked a dish for her. When she said a line in courtesy: “Thank you, young...... Big brother.”, he unexpectedly reached out to cover his mouth, excited to nearly cry.

Of course, Su Antai didn’t cry. Real men wouldn’t shed tears easily, but the second younger brother beside him was hit by him and hammered fiercely by his excitement. Fortunately, he was used to being beaten since he was a child. If changed to ordinary people, one must vomit blood three to fifty liters!

Shen Qi tried hard to eat the food piled up like a small mountain in her bowl. Sixth brother Su Yanling didn’t find any word and said to her: “Little Seven, can our brother and sister go to the courtyard to compete after we’ve finished eating? At that time, I had someone tie you up, I haven’t crossed hands with you. You......”

Before he finished speaking, father Su’s chopsticks fell with a “clang!” sound. Mother Su looked at Su Yanling with a bitter and hateful look and said incredulously: “Little Six, you...... you said you found someone to tie Little Seven up?!”

Before Shen Qi’s identity wasn’t clear, Su Shengfeng told father Su simply: “Little Six brought someone back.” Now that it was exposed by Su Yanling, he as a fourth had to doubt the IQ of his sixth younger brother.

Therefore, even under Shen Qi’s pleading circumstances, the sixth young master who wanted to pull Shen Qi to compete with martial arts was beaten by a board by his father and went to kneel in the ancestral hall.

And during these days of leave, the Su family’s father and sons also confirmed the truth in that year......
