Chapter 130. Why Did You Say Those Eight Words to Him?
In the next second, Ji Shuisheng saw a familiar scene. Ji Shuisheng raised his hand and pulled Li Wu, looking at Su Qing deeply. Su Qing waved the handkerchief before Li Wuâs face, and he became dazed. His eyes closed, and his body fell to the ground.
Su Qing looked at him indifferently and understood his meaning from Ji Shuishengâs eyes. She said in a low voice,
âI promised to treat old Qin, so I must keep my promise.â
...
Since she had accepted a thousand taels of silver from the old master and this thousand-year-old Lingzhi, she had to cure him.
Ji Shuisheng looked at Su Qing with a complicated expression. He pulled Li Wuâs arm and carried him on his back. With his back facing Su Qing, he said,
âIâll help you.â
Old Qin was worth him taking the risk to save him. He had to ask why old Qin had said those words to him. What was in that wooden box?
âNo need. You still have concerns, but I have nothing to worry about.â
Su Qing rejected him immediately. This was her matter, and she didnât need anyone to interfere.
âI want to know more about this wooden box.â
Ji Shuisheng looked at Su Qingâs cold face and found an excuse that she could not refuse.
ââŠâ
Su Qing frowned. What was in that black wooden box?
She was also very curious. Why did old Qin give the wooden box to Ji Shuisheng? Could it be related to Ji Shuishengâs great enmity?
Ji Xiaoyingâs eyes were red the entire time. She did not interrupt when her big brother and big sister were talking. Although she could not bear to part with that kind old man, she did not want her big sister and brother to take the risk. Her heart was in a dilemma.
Ji Shuisheng carried Li Wu back to the team. When Qiu Yue saw Li Wu, she couldnât help but take another look. Who was this person?
Just now, she saw Ji Shuisheng and Su Qing talking to this person for a long time. He seemed to have given brother Shuisheng something, but their bodies were blocking them, and she couldnât see what it was.
After that, the man suddenly fainted, and brother Shuisheng helped him back. It felt extraordinary.
Because of these doubts, Qiu Yue kept staring at them.
Su Qing asked Ji Shuisheng to carry Li Wu into her car. Li Wu had already disguised himself this time. He wore patched clothes and dressed like a commoner escaping from a famine.
However, he was, after all, someone close to old Qin. It was hard to guarantee someone would recognize him, so he had to be hidden.
Madam Li sat in the car and watched in a daze as Ji Shuisheng helped a man up. That man seemed to be unconscious.
Madam Li didnât ask anything and moved to the side to make room.
After seeing Ji Shuisheng settle Li Wu down, Su Qing looked at Madam Li and said to Xiaoying,
âXiaoying, take your godmother to another car.â
Ji Xiaoyingâs heart was heavy, and her eyes were conflicted. She wanted her big brother to save old Qin, but she feared he would do so. When she heard Su Qingâs order, she agreed and went over to help Madam Li.
She knew that her big brother and sister had something to say to each other, and these words had to be said behind their backs.
âXiaoying.â
Su Qing called out to Xiaoying and whispered a few words into her ear. After such a long period of escaping, Xiaoying matured a lot. She knew not to ask questions that she should not ask. She did not ask why Su Qing had told her to say this and just helped MadamLi to the carriage behind.
Qiu Yue saw it and shouted at Xiaoying,
âXiaoying, thereâs a seat here.â
Ji Xiaoying looked at her with a complicated expression. It would not be very comfortable if she did not go over. She was unwilling to go over, but Qiu Yue had called her out in front of the villagers.
The kind Xiaoying did not want to hurt Qiu Yue, so she had to help Madam Li walk over. Qiu Yue sat down at the side and pushed Li Shuangâer.
âYou can take the carriage at the back.â
Li Shuangâer looked at her unwillingly. Qiu Yue sighed.
âYouâve seen that Juan Zi needs someone to care for her. Su Qing bought the carriage. If she doesnât want her to sit in it, thereâs nothing anyone can do.â
In other words, Su Qing had domineeringly chased Madam Li and Xiaoying out of the car because she was the one who had bought it.
Li Shuangâer and Ji Xiaoying did not like what they heard. Ji Xiaoying was the first to explain on Su Qingâs behalf,
âSister Qiu Yue, you canât talk nonsense. That uncle is sick, and sister wants to treat him. Sheâs not chasing us away.â
âThatâs right. Sister Su Qing isnât that kind of person. If it were you, youâd be more like that. Youâre selfish and only think about yourself.â
Li Shuang âer retorted. She disliked Qiu Yue more and more. She didnât want her to talk about sister Su Qing. She wasnât afraid that Qiu Yue would be unhappy.
Qiu Yue was annoyed by Li Shuangâerâs words, but she suppressed her anger and said,
âYou misunderstood me. What I meant was that the car belonged to Su Qing. She can let whoever she wants to sit in it.
âCome on, who doesnât understand what you mean? Arenât you just picking on the relationship between Xiaoying and sister Su Qing? Despicable.â
Li Shuangâer didnât care if there was anyone in front of her. She rolled her eyes at Qiu Yue, who was still pretending to be wronged and unhappily exposed her.
âYou âŠâ
Qiu Yueâs heart ached. She wanted to curse Li Shuangâer for being Su Qingâs lackey but feared that Su Qing would hear her.
Qiu Yue often dreamed of Su Qing killing people. She was afraid that Su Qing would slaughter her like a chicken.
The villagers in the carriage also looked at Qiu Yue with a deeper meaning. After what Qiu Yue had done over the past few days, everyoneâs impression of her worsened.
Li Shuangâer only went to the back of the carriage to squeeze in when she saw that Qiu Yue had stopped talking. Ji Xiaoying helped Madam Li into the carriage. She did not want to sit beside Qiu Yue, who spoke weirdly and wanted to sit in the carriage at the back.
âXiaoying, Iâm injured, and Tang Zi canât see. I canât take care of her.â
Qiu Yue held Xiaoyingâs hand, looking weak.
Ji Xiaoying looked at the dazed and helpless Madam Li. Indeed, she could not leave her here alone. Her godmother would be afraid of being surrounded by strangers. She could only sit next to Qiu Yue in the car.
When they first left, Qiu Yue kept peeking at Xiaoyingâs expression. When she saw that she was unhappy, she did not say anything. It was only when Ji Shuisheng called for them to stop the carriage for a rest that she carefully said to Ji Xiaoying,â
âXiaoying, can I trouble you to help me to the toilet?â
âAlright then!â
Ji Xiaoying had no choice but to agree. Madam Li suddenly pulled on her hand.
âXiaoying, Iâll go too.â
Ji Xiaoying hurriedly helped her godmother out of the car.
âGodmother, be careful.â
Qiu Yue frowned and looked at Madam Li, but she could not say anything about not letting Madam Li go. She could only get off the carriage with the help of the board. Aunt Qiu quickly came over to help her daughter, but Qiu Yue shook her head.
âMother, I donât need you. Xiaoying is with me. She will take care of me.â
Aunt Qiu looked at Xiaoying. She had heard what her daughter had said just now. She was terrified that Qiu Yue would say something else, so she lowered her voice and said,
âDonât talk nonsense,â
âOkay.â
Qiu Yue obediently agreed. Seeing that Ji Xiaoying had no intention of supporting her, she clutched her ribs and gritted her teeth as she followed behind them.
It was not easy to heal a broken bone. It had been so many days, and the pain was still excruciating. Qiu Yue hated Su Qing even more now.
They went into the woods to use the toilet. Li Wu woke up in the carriage and saw Su Qing sitting there, looking at him with a cold expression. Li Wu wanted to jump out of the carriage but found no strength. He leaned against the carriage and asked Su Qing with a bitter smile,
âLady Su, why did you stop me?â
