Chapter 114 Su Ma's Nephew
After spending two pleasant days on the island, it’s time to return to Qiongzhou.
However, an accident happened. The boat that was supposed to pick them up on the third morning did not arrive.
Several people were a little worried, but they were not too panicked. There are often emergencies at sea, and maybe they were just a little late.
If they cannot return to Qiongzhou within two days of the return date, Wu Wei, who was left in Qiongzhou by Xiao Yi, will definitely notice something unusual and bring a boat to the island to find them.
Sure enough, in the evening, the fishing boat that had arrived earlier finally appeared in the sight of several people.
After boarding the ship, the captain told us the reason for being late.
It is said that an important person has come to Qiongzhou. Today, all ships in the port must be inspected before leaving. There are many ships in the port, so it is late.
But the captain didn't know who the big shot was, after all, he was just a boatman.
Su Weixi was immediately very curious. The biggest tasks in Qiongzhou were nothing more than Xiao Yi and the county governor who managed Qiongzhou. He wondered if there was any other big shot who had such a grand ceremony.
But seeing that Su's father and Xiao Yi looked normal, he did not ask any more questions, but went back to his room to sleep.
We returned in the evening. The speed of the ship at night is not as fast as that during the day, so we should reach Qiongzhou at dawn. Therefore, everyone went back to their rooms to rest after dinner.
After a night of sailing, the group finally returned to Qiongzhou safely.
As soon as I got off the boat, Butler Sun came to greet me with his servants.
"Master, Madam, Miss, Young Master, you are finally back."
Seeing Butler Sun's anxious look, several people couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Butler Sun, why are you so flustered?"
"Master, there are visitors at home."
"What guest?"
"I don't know either. They say he is Madam's nephew, but I have never heard Madam mention any relatives from her mother's side."
When Butler Sun said this, several people understood why Butler Sun was like that.
Because I had told the servants before that the Su family no longer had any relatives. The only relatives they had were the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion and the Shen family.
"Did you ask for the visitor's name?"
"I asked him, but he refused to tell me. He came yesterday and only said he was my mistress's nephew. He refused to say more. When he learned that the master and mistress were not at home, he said he wanted to stay at home. I couldn't kick him out, so I had to arrange for him to stay."
Several people were also confused.
According to the original owner's previous memory, Su Ma was injured in the mountains and was picked up by Su Ba's original body while hunting. After waking up, she lost her memory. Su Ba's original body looked for her but couldn't find any young lady missing, so she stayed in the Su family. In the end, the two fell in love and got married and gave birth to Su Weixi.
This nephew suddenly appeared. Could it be that someone from the original family came to visit?
Su Weixi, Su's father and Su's mother looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
With doubts, several people quickly returned home. Xiao Yi was worried that something had happened, so he also followed them back to the Su family.
"Where are the people? Where are they placed?"
As soon as he got home, Su's father asked where the visitor was.
"Master, the young man who claimed to be the madam's nephew was arranged by the housekeeper to live in the front yard. He has gone out and hasn't come back yet." The gatekeeper replied.
"Arrange someone to go out and look for us, and tell them we're back."
"Yes, sir." After receiving the order, the servant immediately went out to look for someone.
"Zizhao, you are tired too, go to the front yard and take a rest first."
Father Su knew that Xiao Yi didn't understand the situation clearly and must be worried about leaving, so he asked someone to take him to the front yard to fix it.
After they had washed and changed their clothes, Butler Sun said that the young master had returned.
"Bring the man to the living room."
A few people were sitting in the living room when they saw a boy about ten years old walk in with a smile on his face.
Su Weixi and the others felt that the person looked familiar, but for a moment they couldn't seem to remember where he was.
"Uncle Su, Aunt Su, Sister Xixi, long time no see." The young man saw them and excitedly stepped forward to call them.
This voice sounds so familiar!
This face seems familiar, especially the eyebrows and eyes.
"Qing'er? Are you Qing'er?" Su Ma stood up and looked at the young man in front of her.
"Hahahaha, yes, auntie, it's me."
It turned out to be Qing'er, the eighth prince.
It has been nearly five years since we last met. The little boy back then has now grown into a handsome young man, almost taller than Su Weixi.
Mainly because it was what Qing'er wore before. Although the fabric was not bad, it was not as expensive as the one now. The satin dress made her look very noble.
Plus, her temperament was completely different, so the few people didn't recognize Qing'er at first.
"I can't believe it, the cute little dumpling is almost as tall as me now." Su Weixi joked.
"Hehe, Sister Xixi, I have been practicing martial arts in the past few years, and according to what you said, I drink milk every day, so I have grown fast in the past two years." Qing'er said, touching his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
Su's father and mother watched the two of them playing around like they used to with a smile on their faces.
"You are the eighth prince, but you came to our house and said you were my mother's nephew. We didn't even know it was you."
"But you are my relatives. It's not wrong for me to say that you are my aunt's nephew."
Su Weixi: How come this child only grows in height but not in brains? You are the fifth prince, who would dare to become your relative easily?
"Also, sister, I am no longer the eighth prince. I am now the King of Lingnan."
"Ah? King Lingnan is you?"
"Sister, do you know?"
"I heard that the emperor appointed a King of Lingnan, but I didn't know it was you."
"Well, my brother the Emperor told me to come to Lingnan to gain some experience, so he named me the King of Lingnan."
"Ahem, Qing'er. Oh, no, Your Majesty, you."
Before Su's father could finish his words, Qing'er interrupted him, "Uncle, you can just call me Qing'er as before."
"No, there is a difference between the ruler and his subjects."
Su's father said this because he was afraid that outsiders would find out and use it as a handle to attack the Su family if something happened in the future.
Finally, after some discussion among the few people, it was decided that when there were no outsiders in the Su family, he would still be called Qing'er, and when there were outsiders, he would be called Prince.
"Mom, who is this brother?" Ningning asked curiously.
Just now, Su Weixi and the other two were so excited to meet Qing'er after a long separation that they forgot to introduce them to An'an and Ningning.
Speaking of which, Qing'er also watched the two little guys being born, but later on, before the two little guys grew up, Qing'er left the valley, so they didn't know Qing'er.
"This is your brother Qing'er. Call me brother. Qing'er, do you still remember An'an and Ningning?"
"Of course I remember. I once held them in my arms."
"Wow, brother, have you ever hugged us before?"
"Yeah, you two were still babies then."
Now that I know that this so-called nephew from my mother's side is Qing'er and Xiao Yi is his cousin, it is natural for them to meet.
Dad Su asked someone to call Xiao Yi over, and they had lunch together.
After lunch, Xiao Yi went back to his own residence. He originally wanted to take Qing'er with him, but he was unwilling to leave and said he wanted to stay at Su's house.
Xiao Yi had no choice but to give up, knowing that Qing'er had a deep relationship with the Su family.
But before leaving, he asked Qing'er to go to his house to see him tomorrow because he had something to talk about.
