621 Third Detoxification 5

No matter what, he had survived this time.

“That’s good. Thank you, Miss Su. You must be tired too. Miss Su, go back to your room and rest well for the night. We’ll send you back to the capital tomorrow morning.”

Hearing Su Xiaolu’s words, their hearts relaxed.

Their master had finally survived another calamity.

Su Xiaolu looked at Jin Liu and the others. She whispered, “Let me ask you, did the emperor choose a princess consort for Fourth Brother’s engagement?”

Jin Liu, Jin Si, and the others were stumped.

They all had strange expressions.

Su Xiaolu frowned. “Is there or not? Fourth Brother is already at the age of marriage. Third Brother is going to be a father.”

Jin Si, Jin Liu, and the others looked at each other. Jin Liu shook his head. “Miss Su, Master is not getting married yet, and there are no women in Master’s residence—”

“Is Fourth Brother so unfavored?”

Su Xiaolu felt indignant for him.

Jin Si was speechless. What could he say?

Jin Liu gave Jin Si a look and continued, “Miss Su, Master is not in good health. No noble lady in the capital is willing to marry him.”

In any case, it was the right thing to say. He let Su Xiaolu know that Zhou Zhi was unmarried and had no concubines.

Su Xiaolu frowned. It was just as she thought. She was determined to treat Zhou Zhi as soon as possible.

As long as he had a healthy body, who would dare to look down on her Fourth Brother!

Su Xiaolu went back to her room to rest.

Jin Si looked gloomy. “What did Miss Su mean by that expression and action just now? Is she interested in our master or not?”

Jin Liu rolled his eyes at him. “I don’t know. Don’t ask about Master’s matters.”

Even if the entire world knew that Zhou Zhi liked Su Xiaolu, as long as Su Xiaolu did not know, and as long as Zhou Zhi did not say it, no one could say it.

When Su Xiaolu woke up in the morning, she first checked on Zhou Zhi. After confirming that his pulse was stable and the remaining poison was stable, she returned to the capital first and left a message for Zhou Zhi to tell Jin Liu when he woke up.

Zhou Zhi woke up in the afternoon.

He asked what day it was and found out that it was the new year. The detoxification was over, so he gave the order to return.

Almost everything was packed. After he gave the order, they started to return a moment later.

On the way, he looked weak, but he still asked, “When did Xiaolu leave?”

“Miss Su woke up in the morning and returned. She should be in the capital soon. She won’t miss the New Year’s Eve dinner.”

Jin Liu replied.

Zhou Zhi nodded. “After returning to the capital, enter the palace directly.”

On New Year’s Eve, there was a banquet in the palace. After the banquet was over, there was a private banquet in the palace. This time, his father had already told him a long time in advance, and he had promised not to reject it. It was about time to rush back.

Jin Liu nodded. The carriage moved slowly and Zhou Zhi became drowsy.

Jin Liu recalled what Su Xiaolu had asked and repeated it in detail.

As Zhou Zhi listened, he rubbed the corner of his shirt with his fingers and the corners of his lips curled up.

He was in a good mood.

Su Xiaolu returned to the capital in the afternoon and went straight home.

Su Chong and Su Hua had yet to return from the palace banquet. Su Sanlang, Madam Zhao, Chen Hu, and Madam Qian were busy in the kitchen.

Chen Shi and Chen Xing were eating with Little Niu, who was eating happily.

Lin Yao held her waist and brought out a small plate from the kitchen from time to time.

Seeing Su Xiaolu return, Chen Xing called out loudly, “Fourth Sister is back.”

“Fourth sis, do you want to eat fried chicken drumsticks? They’re delicious. There are also lamb strips. They’re delicious. My mother and aunt made a lot of delicious food this year.”

Chen Xing pouted. The fair and tender him was likable no matter how one looked at him.

Su Xiaolu went over and rubbed his face. “Little Xing, feed me a bite first.”

Su Xiaolu pinched Chen Xing’s face with both hands and found him adorable.

Chen Xing was very sensible. He picked up a lamb strip and fed it to Su Xiaolu.

Su Xiaolu was stunned by its taste. “It’s delicious. It’s crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. There are also crispy pickles mixed in the crust.”

Chen Xing nodded. “Yes, yes. It’s super delicious.”

“Unfortunately, Eldest Sister, Second Sister, and Third Sister can’t eat it anymore.”

Chen Xing sighed. Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu were both married and settled outside. It was very difficult to see them again.

Su Xiaoling could not eat it in the palace, so Chen Xing hoped that Su Xiaolu would eat more.

At such a young age, Chen Xing already understood that women had to get married when they grew up. Once they got married, it would be very difficult for them to meet again.

Su Xiaolu sat down and ate some before asking, “Where are my Master and the others?”

Chen Xing shook his head.

Little Niu smiled and said, “Senior Sister, both Uncle-Masters have gone out. They said that they will be back before dinner. Uncle-Master Gui You said that the thing you wanted is in the room.”

Su Xiaolu took a drumstick and took a bite. “Big Cousin’s things must be ready. I’ll go take a look.”

Chen Shi immediately followed. “Fourth Sister, wait for me. I want to see it too.”

Chen Shi looked at Little Niu. “Brother Niu, let’s go over and take a look too. Master Gui You is very powerful. The sword he made for Big Brother is especially good.”

He dreamed of it.

However, he was not worthy yet. Those who had Uncle-Master Gui You’s sword were already very capable. He did not have anything yet, so he only hid his love in his heart.

Little Niu smiled and nodded. “Sure.”

Chen Shi immediately went forward to support Little Niu. “Brother Niu, you can touch it with your hands later and feel it, but you have to be careful.”

During this period of time, everyone liked Little Niu very much. If there was anything good, Chen Shi was happy to share it.

Joy was contagious.

Little Niu couldn’t see, but he could feel it.

Little Niu nodded.

Su Xiaolu entered the room and saw an axe on the table. The dark and shiny handle was more than ten feet long. The axe was huge and wrapped in red silk.

Such a huge axe was shocking.

“Wow, so handsome.”

Chen Xing’s mouth was wide open as he touched the handle of the axe lovingly.

Su Xiaolu smiled. “Be careful. It’s a rare good thing. Let’s go find Cousin.”

She had not seen Qi Xingfeng for almost a year. She wondered how he was doing.

Chen Xing’s eyes were filled with passion. He clenched his fists. “I must work hard in martial arts. I want to become very powerful. In the future, if Uncle-Master Gui You takes a fancy to me, I’ll also have a weapon. Hehe.”

“Haha, then Little Xing has to work hard.”

Su Xiaolu pinched Chen Xing’s cheek. Who wouldn’t like a weapon personally forged by Gui You?

They were all her family. They were very close to Gui You, but whether they could get Gui You to agree to it depended on their ability.

Shortcuts wouldn’t work.

Chen Shi and Little Niu came in. Little Niu touched the axe and praised it. “Uncle-Master Gui You really lives up to his reputation. In the past, I only heard Master talk about it. Now that I have touched it, I’m truly convinced.”

“Junior Brother, Little Shi, Little Xing, let’s send this gift over and see if my eldest cousin will be so excited that he’ll break the rules.” Su Xiaolu grabbed the axe and carried it on her shoulder.

She exclaimed, “How heavy.”

Her sword was still the best, but this should be the most suitable for Qi Xingfeng. He would go crazy with joy.

“Okay, okay. Let’s go together.” Chen Xing clapped and cheered. Walking beside this axe, he felt extremely cool.
