Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Why did you only tell me about such an important matter now?”
Qiu Yongkang broke out in a cold sweat. He thought his sister had learned her lesson after what happened last time, but she had gone crazy. She pretended to be obedient and calm on the surface, but in her heart, she awaited an opportunity to strike.
“Sister Qiu Yue said that she wouldn’t risk everyone’s lives. 1 also warned her that if she went to tell on her, she would harm everyone in Peach Blossom Cove. She said she wouldn’t harm my brother, so I believed her, and sister Shuang’er kept watching her. I didn’t expect her to escape.”
Ji Xiaoying was also highly regretful. She finally understood what her big brother meant when he said that one could only know a person’s face but not their heart. She also understood that she was too naive and trusted too quickly, which allowed Qiu Yue to take advantage of her.
Big brother once said that kindness is a knife that kills you!
She always thought positively about people. Now that she might have harmed sister Su Qing, Xiaoying was anxious.
“No, I have to find her.”
Qiu Yongkang didn’t dare to risk Su Qing and Shuishcng’s lives. He knew that if his sister wanted to tell on him, she would have to enter the city. He had to find and kill her before Qiu Yue could do so.
Qiu Yongkang handed over the task of bringing the wounded to the city to see the doctor to Jiang Yuyan and Li Daniu. Jiang Yuyan might be a girl, but she was bold and careful, and she didn’t panic when things happened, so nothing would go wrong if she went.
Zhong Yong still wanted to follow, but Ji Xiaoying wished to make up for her mistake and said to him,
“Second brother, I will accompany godmother to the city to see a doctor.”
With Ji Xiaoying following them, Zhong Yong reluctantly agreed to stay behind to protect the villagers and property of Peach Blossom Cove.
Qiu Yongkang had no choice but to remind Xiaoying to be careful and not reveal that she was a girl.
Qiu Yongkang blamed himself. He hated himself for being soft-hearted and helping Qiu Yue find in-laws. Shuisheng had entrusted the villagers of Peach Blossom Cove to him for protection, but he had almost caused everyone to be consigned to eternal damnation because of his personal matters.
After instructing Xiaoying, he did not dare to delay any longer and rushed to the city gate of Su Zhou. Qiu Yue was injured and could not walk fast. He could stop her if he reached the city gate before her.
Ji Xiaoying and Jiang Yuyan accompanied Madam Li and the rest to the city to see the doctor. Li Daniu drove the carriage while Ji Xiaoying let her godmother lie on her lap. She looked around the crowd as she searched for Qiu Yue. She wanted to make up for her mistake.
Li Daniu drove the carriage forward and was suddenly blocked by a carriage. The driver was a tall man. He sat there and didn’t move, not giving way.
Li Daniu was in a hurry to save the people in the car and shouted at the other party, “Make way, I’m in a hurry to save someone!”
The other party only saw the injured people in the car after hearing that he would save them. His expression changed immediately, and he jumped out of the vehicle. “What’s going on?”
“Big brother,”
Ji Xiaoying was instantly excited when she heard the voice, but she was dumbfounded when she saw the person. The voice belonged to her big brother, but she did not know the person.
“You …Who are you?”
Li Daniu also didn’t know this tall man in front of him. His voice and build were similar to Ji Shuisheng, but his face was not. His iconic big beard was gone, and his appearance was not suitable!
“You’re Shuisheng; how did you do it?”
Ji Shuisheng touched his own face. No wonder they did not recognize him. He did not even recognize himself. He quickly reported his family background and looked anxiously at the three seriously injured people in the carriage.
“Shuisheng, why did you … Don’t even mention it, a group of thugs came and injured seventh brother Jiang, Wang Youliang, and Aunt Li.”
Li Daniu finally found his backbone. He was only a little surprised by Ji Shuishcng’s appearance before he started to talk about what had happened. He had a guilty look.
“Shuisheng, I was useless and didn’t protect them well.”
“Let’s not talk about this.”
Ji Shuisheng raised his hand to stop Li Daniu from continuing. He went over to check on the injuries of seventh master Jiang and the others.
“Brother, where’s sister Su Qing?”
Ji Xiaoying implored her brother. Most importantly, she had to tell sister Su Qing that Qiu Yue had escaped so that she could hide for a while and not let Qiu Yue harm her. Sister Su Qing was a miracle doctor, so she would be able to save her godmother.
Ji Shuisheng frowned deeply after checking the injuries of Madam Li and Jiang Laoqi. The injuries were too severe, especially Madam Li, who had lost too much blood and had a weak pulse. She was in a hazardous situation.
“She has entered Su Zhou.”
When he heard his sister ask about Su Qing, Ji Shuisheng casually replied.
Although his and Su Qing’s portrait was hung on the city gate, Ji Shuisheng was not worried. Because he and Su Qing had already changed their appearances, no one would be able to recognize them.
Su Qing had agreed to treat a patient. She said he should leave with the people from Peach Blossom, and she would catch up with him. The patient was in Su Zhou, so she exited the carriage outside Su Zhou.
“She entered Su Zhou?”
Hearing that her sister had entered Suzhou, Ji Xiaoying anxiously stomped her feet. “What do we do?”
“What’s going on?”
Ji Shuisheng felt his sister’s anxiety was unusual and hurriedly asked her.
After Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng parted ways, they headed toward Su Zhou City. When he saw his portrait hanging on the city wall, he swaggered to the picture and stood in the crowd to watch the show.
Su Qing’s eyes were disdainful when she saw that the portrait had made her ugly.
“Did you see that? There’s a reward for catching the spies. Each person has five hundred taels of silver. We’ll be rich if we catch them.”
“That’s right. We’ll be rich if we catch one.”
“I’m just afraid I won’t be able to spend my money.”
The crowd looking at the portrait was stunned by the reward money, but there were also some rational people. If the government couldn’t catch them, how could they?
Su Qing’s eyes turned cold as she listened to these people’s discussions. All of them wanted money more than their lives.
She squeezed her way out of the crowd. Let these idiots continue to search for a needle in the sea! She had to see master Chu and had no time to watch the show.
As soon as she squeezed out of the crowd, she saw an anxious Qiu Yongkang. Among the group, his brows were furrowed as he stretched out his neck and looked around. He seemed to be looking for someone.
Su Qing saw that Qiu Yongkang’s expression was not right, so she squeezed her way into him. Qiu Yongkang did not recognize Su Qing and was still looking for his sister.
When Su Qing squeezed to Qiu Yongkang’s side, he saw him squeezing nervously toward the soldiers. Su Qing didn’t alert Qiu Yongkang but followed behind him to see what he was doing.
Su Qing followed Qiu Yongkang’s line of sight and saw Qiu Yue dressed as a man. She was trying her best to squeeze through the soldiers at the door, and as she did so, the soldiers made way for her.
“Excuse me; I have something important to report to the officer.”
However, no matter how much she shouted, no one made way for her. Qiu Yue was afraid that people would discover she was a woman, so she had to cover her chest with both hands and squeeze forward with difficulty.
Su Qing’s eyes turned cold when she heard her words. She thought of the portraits of her, Shuisheng, and old Qin on the city wall. It was not difficult to guess what Qiu Yue was up to.
Qiu Yongkang saw his sister’s face and couldn’t help but shout out her name, “Qiu Yue, come back. Big brother will agree to anything. Come back quickly.”
Qiu Yue turned around when she heard Qiu Yongkang’s voice. She only took one look before she turned around and sped up. The cruelty in her eyes scared Qiu Yongkang.. Was her sister determined to harm Su Qing?
