183 Resemblance
The little girl was chubby and dressed in simple and clean clothes. Although he did not know her, she gave him a very amiable feeling.
It was strange to say that because the little girl’s expression and actions were completely different from amiability.
She crossed her arms and lazily leaned against the door frame with a cold expression on her face.
The triplets ran towards her.
At this moment, the coldness between her eyebrows dissipated.
She smiled, revealing two cute dimples.
Su Yuan was in a daze.
Immediately after, Su Yuan saw a little nun walk over and bring the little girl to Grandmaster Hui Jue’s meditation room.
Su Yuan could guess who she was.
Grandmaster Hui Jue introduced him to the little girl from Su Ji who made snacks for them.
Su Yuan returned to the manor.
The eldest son, Su Mo, came forward. He sensed that something was wrong with his father’s expression and hurriedly asked, “Father, what’s wrong? Did something happen to Grandmaster Hui Jue?”
Su Yuan shook his head. “No, Grandmaster is fine.”
Su Mo personally served his father a cup of tea. “Then you are…”
Su Yuan sat down and took the teacup. He said thoughtfully, “When I saw a little girl in the nunnery today, I suddenly thought of my aunt.”
Su Mo smiled. “Oh? Does she look like Grandaunt?”
“I can’t say.”
It was hard for Su Yuan to describe her. If he were to say that she looked like her, she didn’t look that similar. But if he were to say that she didn’t look like her, he couldn’t help but think of his aunt’s voice and smile when she smiled.
Su Mo said, “Father misses Grandaunt too much.”
Su Yuan nodded. “Your grandmother passed away early, and your grandfather was away from home all year round. It was my aunt who raised me. When she passed away, I was already twelve years old. I was old enough to remember.”
Su Mo had never seen his grandaunt before and did not have as deep of an understanding as Su Yuan. However, as a son, he understood his father’s respect for his grandaunt.
Otherwise, she would not have loved him so much and treated him even better than her own son.

In the nunnery, Su Xiaoxiao met Grandmaster Hui Jue.
Compared to last time, Grandmaster Hui Jue’s complexion was rosier. It was unknown if it was the effect of Aunt Fu’s Health Pill.
Su Xiaoxiao handed over the bag that Aunt Fu asked her to pass to her.
Grandmaster Hui Jue said kindly, “It’s been hard on you.”
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head. “It’s nothing. Besides, you’ve helped me a lot. You were the one who recommended this business, right?”
Mistress Hui Jue smiled. “I just mentioned it casually. It was up to them whether they needed you or not.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Then I have to thank you too!”
Grandmaster Hui Jue said, “Your brother has been wronged.”
“Oh?” Su Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment before realizing that Grandmaster Hui Jue was referring to the fight between Su Ergou and Qin Yun.
She hummed and said, “It’s alright. He returned the favor.”
“Oh?” This time, it was Master Hui Jue’s turn to be surprised. When Su Yuan came over just now, he only said that Qin Yun had bullied the young man from Suji and did not take good care of the person she introduced. He felt very apologetic.
He didn’t say anything wrong with Su Ergou.
In the next second, Grandmaster Hui Jue burst into laughter.
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.
After Grandmaster Hui Jue had laughed enough, she gloated and said, “I can’t stand that bastard brat. He’s spoiled by the Qin and Su families. Your brother whipped him well.”
Su Xiaoxiao: “Oh.”
Grandmaster Hui Jue said, “Don’t worry. Qin Yun won’t dare to cause trouble for you. He won’t be able to find you either. Su Yuan will keep a close eye on him. They will return to the capital in a few days.”
Su Yuan.
Was it that man’s name?
Grandmaster Hui Jue said, “Your surnames are all Su. Speaking of which, it’s fate.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “We also have a family with the surname Su in our village.”
Grandmaster Hui Jue said gently, “It’s not strange. Su is a big family name in Qingzhou. This is just like Li in Liu Province and Yang in Wu Province. There can be more than ten families in a village. In the past, there was a Su Village in East County. Thirty years ago, there was a disaster. Everyone fled or died. That village was gone.”
Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself if her father could have escaped from the Su Family Village.
Thinking of something, Grandmaster Hui Jue said, “I heard that you know medicine and even cured Ting Lan’s old illness?”
It must have been written in Aunt Fu’s letter.
It was rare for Su Xiaoxiao to be humble. “I know a little.”
Grandmaster Hui Jue smiled and said, “The fact that you can treat Ting Lan’s illness is definitely not because you know a little. It’s an illness that even her husband was helpless against.”
The Fu family had been practicing medicine for generations.
Grandmaster Hui Jue did not ask where Su Xiaoxiao was from. She sighed and said, “I have an old friend who has been plagued by an old illness for many years. Unfortunately, he can’t meet a good physician like you.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Where is your old friend?”
If it was close, she could go and show him.
Grandmaster Hui Jue replied, “In the capital.”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “The capital is too far away.”
The prefectural city and its surroundings were her current limit. If she went further, she would be too busy to attend to her family’s matters.
Grandmaster Hui Jue smiled. “By the way, Miss Su, do you know how to play chess?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Wuzi or checkers?”
Grandmaster Hui Jue was stunned. “Huh?”
Su Xiaoxiao understood. “Go? I don’t know how.”
Grandmaster Hui Jue felt that the little girl was really fun and her words were fresh.
She said, “I’ll teach you.”
… .
That afternoon, while Su Xiaoxiao was playing chess in Mistress Hui Jue’s meditation room, Su Ergou was encouraged by the little nuns to pick fruits again.
The three little ones did not want to pick the fruits.
“That’s what all of you want to do!”
The eleven-year-old nun decisively dragged the three children away.
Although she was small, she was quite strong.
The three little ones were dragged away soullessly…
When Su Ergou and the three little ones returned to the nunnery, they had already become a dirty dog and three dirty tigers.
The group stayed in the nunnery until nighttime. Grandmaster Hui Jue asked them to stay for dinner. Su Xiaoxiao estimated that Wei Ting should be waiting for them at the foot of the mountain at this hour.
She politely declined Grandmaster Hui Jue’s invitation.
The children played crazily for the entire afternoon without taking an afternoon nap. When they went down the mountain, they had only taken a few steps when the three little fellows started yawning.
Su Ergou carried one.
It was Xiaohu.
Xiaohu used his eyelids to express his last bit of stubbornness before falling asleep.
Su Xiaoxiao went to pick up Dahu and Erhu. She had just picked one up when a slender hand reached over.
“I’ll do it.”
Wei Ting said softly.
Su Xiaoxiao retracted her hand and looked at him in shock. “Why did you go up the mountain? There are so many steps. Your leg…”
Halfway through her sentence, she realized that he did not use his walking stick.
“Is your leg healed?” she asked.
Wei Ting was stunned for a moment. His eyes moved and he replied indifferently, “Yes.”
Su Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes suspiciously. “Why did it get better as soon as we arrived at the prefecture? You didn’t pretend when you were home, did you? Then why aren’t you pretending now? Let me guess, did you forget to take your walking stick because you couldn’t wait to pick me up?”
Wei Ting also carried the Dahu in her arms and went down the mountain expressionlessly. “You’re so talkative!”
