Everyone looked towards the main road.

“Has Shuisheng and the rest come back?”

Everyone was very disappointed when they saw clearly that it was not a carriage but a few fast horses that were running on the road. It was not Shuisheng and the others. These people seemed in a hurry and rode past them like the wind without even looking at them.

“I wonder if Su Qing managed to get her father?”

Speaking together, old master Qiu and old master Li was worried that it had been two days and they had not returned. They were terrified that they would get lost.

“He should be on his way back, right?”

Old master Li wasn’t sure. After all, there were so many escapees, and it was hard to say if they would find them.

…..

In this lonely year, one may never be able to see another person again.

“It’s Su Qing’s father. Why should brother Shuisheng go with her to pick him up?”

The anger that Qiu Yue had been suppressing for the past two days exploded when she heard her grandfather’s words.

“Based on the fact that Su Qing has saved the people of our Peach Blossom several times, based on the fact that she found food to help everyone, why can’t Shuisheng accompany Su Qing to fetch her father?”

Old master Qiu frowned and glared at his granddaughter. She was getting more and more out of hand.

Qiu Yue was unhappy with her grandfather’s protectiveness of Su Qing, but she did not dare to argue. She lowered her head and pinched her fingers.

Old master Qiu shook his head and made up his mind. He had to get Qiu Yue married as soon as possible.

Aunt Qiu was the head chef, and she had put in a lot of work like Su Qing, but the wolf meat still had a strong fishy smell.

Everyone was almost throwing up as they swallowed the wolf meat. They missed the day when Su Qing was here.

After the meal, Xiaoying took the mulberry leaves to feed the silkworm babies. These white and fat silkworm babies were placed in a big basket. This big basket was also made by sister Su Qing and was mainly used to raise silkworm babies.

The giant dustpan was placed on top of the two stacks of paper knives. Su Qing had left the paper knives in the cart with the team because she had to go and save people. Before she left, she told Xiaoying to let those girls on their periods use paper knives and not plant ashes.

The girls were highly grateful to Su Qing for giving them such expensive paper to use, so they wanted to dig up more valuable herbs for sister Su Qing.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t feel at ease when using them.

Xiaoying placed the fresh and tender mulberry leaves into the dustpan. The silkworm babies couldn’t wait to eat the mulberry leaves when they discovered them. Xiaoying sat at the side and watched them eat happily.

“You guys should eat quickly. She’ll be happy when she returns.”

Qiu Yue was very afraid of these bugs, and because of this, she did not dare to sit with Xiaoying anymore. Xiaoying felt relaxed and did not need to listen to her strange words anymore.

Qiu Yue felt her lower abdomen sinking as heat flowed down. She used plant ash to cover her period belt in the past, but after seeing Jiang Yuyan use a paper knife yesterday, she didn’t want to use plant ash anymore.

While Su Qing was not home, she went to Xiao Ying to ask for paper knives.

“Xiao Ying, give me some paper knives; I… I need to use it.”

“No, this is sister Su Qing’s. I have no right to give it to you.”

Ji Xiaoying shook her head and refused. Before Su Qing left, she told her that anyone but Qiu Yue could use it, but she was not to use it.

However, Xiaoying feared Qiu Yue would lose face, so she spoke more tactfully.

“Xiao Ying, why are you doing this to me now? Weren’t you very close to me at Peach Blossom Cove?”

Seeing that Xiao Ying did not give it to her, Qiu Yue asked her sadly.

“But this isn’t mine.”

Seeing that she was up to no good again, Ji Xiaoying’s face turned bitter. Sister Qiu Yue’s words made it seem like she had let her down.

Qiu Yue looked at Xiao Ying sadly and said,

“I saw you gave it to Jiang Yuyan yesterday.”

“Sister Qiu Yue, I didn’t want to say it, but you forced me to. Before she left, Sister Su Qing told me that anyone could use this paper except you.”

Ji Xiaoying was also angry. How could sister Qiu Yue be like this? Do you have to hear the truth?

Qiu Yue’s face turned red. She gritted her teeth, and hatred welled up in her heart. Su Qing, how could you do this to me?

The villagers in the carriage were all frightened by the hatred in Qiu Yue’s eyes. Her eyes were so terrifying.

“If I had known it was hers, I wouldn’t have asked for it.”

To regain her face, Qiu Yue left obstinately after saying that.

Ji Xiaoying frowned as she looked at her back. Who in Peach Blossom didn’t know that the paper knife was sister Su Qing’s? She wanted to take advantage of sister Su Qing’s absence to use her things secretly, and she didn’t want to appreciate it.

Naturally, Aunt Qiu saw this scene as well. She was so ashamed that she did not dare look at her old sisters’ disdainful faces.

Everyone had a tacit understanding that the paper knife was Su Qing’s. Qiu Yue had provoked Su Qing several times, but she didn’t let her use it and was even angry.

Qiu Yue ran into the forest in a rage. She would have to burn the ashes herself if she didn’t have a knife paper. She only felt the pain in her ribs after she ran into the forest. She held her waist and leaned against the tree for a long time before she recovered.

Aunt Qiu followed her into the forest and saw her daughter’s pale face. She said with heartache,

“Mother will help you!”

“Mother, Su Qing isn’t a member of our Peach Blossom. What right does she have to swagger around our Peach Blossom?”

Qiu Yue was so angry that she dug at the tree bark.

“She is our family’s Savior. Just because of this, we should be her slaves. You are too jealous and will lose your life sooner or later. We must listen to your grandfather and marry you off when we reach Su Zhou.”

Aunt Qiu looked at Qiu Yue’s face, which was twisted with jealousy, and decided to marry Qiu Yue off.

“I won’t marry, I won’t marry anyone other than brother Shuisheng. If I can’t marry Brother Shuisheng, I’d rather die.”

When she heard her mother say she would marry her off in Su Zhou, Qiu Yue was so angry that she cried.

No matter how much aunt Qiu cared for her daughter, she could not let her do as she pleased. She silently burned the ashes and wrapped them in a period belt, and handed it to Qiu Yue,

“Here you go,”

“Mother, please help me beg Grandpa. I won’t marry; I won’t marry anyone. I’ll stay at home and be filial to you all for the rest of my life, okay? Do you have the heart to leave me behind?”

Qiu Yue saw that her mother seemed determined to marry her off, so she went over and shook her mother’s arm, crying and begging.

“You’re already 17 years old this year. If you delay any longer, you’ll become an old lady. Don’t worry; your brother said he would help you find a good in-law family. Well also prepare a dowry for you so that you can be highly regarded by your in-law family when you marry them.”

Aunt Qiu caressed her daughter’s hair and coaxed her gently.

“Must I be married off?”

Qiu Yue’s eyes flashed with hatred. She lowered her head and asked her mother,

“Is there no room for negotiation?”

“Your grandfather has already made up his mind. Qiu Yue, listen to your mother’s advice. In the future, when you get married, you can’t be so willful anymore. Unite and be filial to your in-laws. Only then will men love you.”

Aunt Qiu tried to persuade her daughter, but Qiu Yue didn’t listen. She was like an abandoned puppy, staggering back and crying.

“Why? I’m your biological child, and Su Qing is the mistress of a man. Why do you treat her like a treasure? And you’re doing this to me for her? I hate all of you. I hate all of you.”

Qiu Yue shouted at her mother hysterically. She was about to go crazy.

“Qiu Yue.”

Aunt Qiu did not feel good seeing her like this. She did not know how things had come to this. She and Su Qing had become enemies.

Qiu Yue wiped away her tears and ordered her mother,

“Get out!”
