Chapter 1109: Fraudulent Strength

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The news of the Grand Empress Dowager falling off the cliff spread throughout the capital, and everyone in the palace knew.

The Grand Empress Dowager rarely interacted with Emperor Jing Xuan’s concubines in the harem and did not like to show her face during festive seasons.

However, when something suddenly happened to her, everyone could not help but gossip.

For example, with her aloof personality, why would she go to the Water-Moon Nunnery to pray for the soldiers?

Was she forced away by the Empress Dowager?

It was no wonder that the consorts had such speculations. Although the Empress Dowager had real power, who would feel comfortable with the Grand Empress Dowager suppressing above?

His Majesty was prideful and had always treated her with respect, but didn’t His Majesty have a stroke now?

The Empress Dowager had the final say in the harem.

The social structure of people was different. The concubines judged the Empress Dowager from their own standpoint.

In fact, the Empress Dowager was really not dissatisfied with Bai Xihe.

It was all Su Cheng’s fault.

The Empress Dowager lay on the soft couch in the sleeping hall and sulked.

Did she not care about her face?

She was even judged by the two little ones!

Knock knock knock!

Someone knocked on the door.

This voice was not as loud as usual.

In her anger, the Empress Dowager did not think too much about it for a moment. She frowned and said, “Didn’t I say that I won’t see anyone today?”

Knock, knock, knock.

The small knock on the door sounded again.

The Empress Dowager waved her hand impatiently.

Eunuch Cheng understood and walked over to open the door.

He wanted to see who dared to offend the Empress Dowager at this juncture, but he was stunned. “Ah!”

Hearing his cry, the Empress Dowager looked curiously at the door.

Three round heads poked in. They were very cute.

Dahu asked politely, “Excuse me, is my great-grandmother here?”

The Empress Dowager’s mood, which had been depressed all night, instantly lit up.

She could not care less about her bearing and etiquette.

At this moment, she was just a little old lady who had seen her precious great-grandsons.

She jogged over and hugged the three children tightly.

The three little ones also followed suit and rubbed against her arms.

The Empress Dowager’s heart melted.

“Who sent you here?”

The Empress Dowager asked.

The three little ones said, “Grandpa.”

The Empress Dowager was speechless.

Xiaohu said with a worried expression,”Great-grandmother, Grandpa said that you’re angry with him.”

Su Cheng, who had killed a thousand people, had blamed her!

Why didn’t she say what she had done?

The three little ones looked at her adorably, as if the three brothers would be so sad and worried if she said that she was angry!

The Empress Dowager rolled her eyes at Su Cheng a hundred times in her heart. She took a deep breath and smiled kindly. “Great-grandmother is not angry with your grandfather.”

Erhu shook his head. “That’s great. We can play together again in the future.”

The Empress Dowager still wanted to beat Su Cheng up, but her three precious children were too cute.

Forget it, she won’t beat him up today.

After a night of torment, Su Cheng returned to the Protectorate.

The second and third brothers of the Su family had just come to bring Su Ergou to the Imperial College for class.

Wei Ting and Su Xiaoxiao took a nap and were waiting for Su Cheng in the study.

Su Cheng walked in.

Su Xiaoxiao asked seriously, “Dad, are you alright? Are you seriously injured? Do you need resuscitation after falling off the cliff?”

Su Cheng muttered, “Are you still my biological daughter?”

Wei Ting went forward to help him. “Dad, come and sit.” Su Cheng noted, “My son-in-law dotes on me the most.”

Wei Ting pushed out a wheelchair.

Su Cheng was speechless.

Su Cheng looked at the two little scammers speechlessly and said, “There was a reason for yesterday’s incident. Don’t ask about the exact situation.”

He did not intend to say anything about Xiao Shunyang’s beastly actions.

It wasn’t for Xiao Shunyang’s sake; it would not be an exaggeration to say that he wanted Xiao Shunyang to drown in spittle.

But Bai Xihe was innocent. She shouldn’t have been dragged out.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Got it, Dad.”

Her father would not do something stupid without any preparation. Something very disadvantageous to Bai Xihe must have happened, which was why her father had saved her from the palace in the middle of the night.

Su Cheng paused and said seriously, “In addition, I can’t hide this from your grandmother. I have to explain it to her. Do you have any good opinions?”

The two shook their heads.

Su Cheng said in a daze, “Really?”

Su Xiaoxiao blinked and pulled Wei Ting. “Wei Ting, tell me.”

Wei Ting took a deep breath and sighed. “Play pitiful, Dad. The more miserable, the better.”

Su Cheng exclaimed, “How… miserable is it?”

Fifteen minutes later, Su Cheng stood in the room with dust on his face, a white cloth wrapped around his head, and a thorn stick on his back.

Su Cheng’s expression was indescribable. “It’s not good for others to see me going out like this…”

The Protector Duke also cared about his face!

Su Xiaoxiao wrote a big apology on the white cloth on his forehead. “The

servants are not around at this hour. Only Grandmother can see this. If you’re not miserable, would Grandmother agree?”

Su Cheng hesitated. “Is, is that so?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “If you don’t believe me, ask Wei Ting.”

Su Cheng looked at Wei Ting.

Wei Ting nodded solemnly. Su Cheng scratched his head. “Then, then alright.” He felt that he was too miserable…

The group arrived at Cheng Sang’s courtyard.

Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting accompanied Su Cheng.

Su Xiaoxiao cheered her father on. “Don’t worry, Dad. Wei Ting and I will speak up for you later.”

Wei Ting said, “Dad, just go in boldly. Remember, you have to kneel hard and your attitude has to be sincere!”

Su Xiaoxiao clenched her fists. “Yes!”

Su Cheng said nervously, “Then I’ll shout one, two, three. Shall we enter together?”

The couple nodded in unison! Su Cheng said, “One, two, three!”

He pushed open the door!

The couple suddenly flashed to the sides and ran away!

Su Cheng roared in his heart that they didn’t care about martial virtue!

However, Su Cheng had no way out.

He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, crossed the threshold, and knelt on the ground. “Mother! I have something to confess!”

The house was silent.

Su Cheng suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the house.

He slowly opened one eye and then the second.

When he saw the scene in front of him, his entire body trembled!

Cheng Sang was not the only one in the room.

Matriarch Wei, Matriarch Su, and Madam Tao were also there.

The four of them had gathered around a table and were playing leaf cards. The four of them looked at Su Cheng, who looked like he had been beaten up when he went to scavenge.

Matriarch Su said in a daze, ‘What’s… wrong? Are you short of money to spend?”

Su Cheng blushed!

On the other side, Xiao Shunyang reported the Fourth Master’s name in the

Myriad Immortals Building. The procuress’ expression immediately changed.

She walked out and looked at both sides of the street. Seeing no suspicious people, she retreated and closed the door of the Myriad Immortals Building.

“Young Master, no one followed you, right?”

The procuress asked cautiously.

One could never be too careful. This stronghold could not be exposed. Xiao Shunyang said, “I was very careful along the way. No one followed me.”

The procuress pointed at the stairs. “Young Master, please follow me.” In front of a small stall opposite the Myriad Immortals Building.

“Young Master, your bun.”

The vendor handed it over.

Wei Liulang took it and gave him a few copper coins.

He lowered his bamboo hat and walked forward with the bun. He snorted..
