Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Xiao Zeyu suddenly proposed to move Su Qing to the Qiu family. Auntie Qiu was stunned momentarily and quickly waved her hand, “No, my family’s old, weak, sick, and disabled. You can’t stop the killer. It’s better to stay in the government office; it’s safer with the protection of the soldiers.”

“No, the soldiers can’t stop them. We have to hide Su Qing, or… Just hide until…”

Xiao Zeyu was circling the room, frowning as he pointed at the air with one hand. It seemed like he wasn’t sure where to transfer Su Qing.

Auntie Qiu and Li Shuang’er looked at him. Xiaoying wiped her tears and looked at her brother, waiting for him to find a safe place to move Sister Su Qing over.

Xiao Zeyu suddenly stopped in his tracks as if he had suddenly thought of a perfect place. He lowered his voice and said to the three people in the room.

“How about this? I’ll transfer Su Qing to the Old Tofu Workshop later. No one will go there, and the killer will not expect Su Qing to be there.”

“No, that’s too broken.”

Xiaoying and Li Shuang’er both felt that it was impossible. The old tofu shop had not been lived in for a long time. It was shabby and drafty. Sister Su Qing was seriously injured and needed an excellent environment to recuperate. Old tofu was not suitable.

Seeing his sister and Li Shuang’er’s objections, Xiao Zeyu looked at Auntie Qiu. He saw her head lowered and didn’t know what she was thinking. Xiao Zeyu’s eyes flashed with disappointment. He suppressed his emotions and asked for Auntie Qiu’s opinion.

“Auntie Qiu, do you think the Old Tofu Workshop will work?”

Auntie Qiu was startled by the name. She looked up at Xiao Zeyu in panic, her hands clutching tightly at her clothes as she stammered.

“All… This… 1 don’t know if it can do it.”

“It still won’t work. That place is too old. You’ll die if you don’t light a fire in the winter.”

Xiao Zeyu vetoed this decision. Auntie Qiu stole a glance at him, seemingly relieved.

Xiao Zeyu turned around and clenched his fists tightly, not letting Auntie Qiu see the disappointment and anger in his eyes. Xiaoying saw her brother’s expression and thought he was angry because of Sister Su Qing’s a.s.sa.s.sination. She hesitated for a moment and told her brother her thoughts,

“Big Brother, 1 thought of a good place. Why don’t we hide Sister Su Qing in her G.o.dmother’s house?”

“Xiaoying has said it. This would work.”

Auntie Qiu immediately agreed to Xiaoying’s suggestion. Zhong Yong’s house was far away from her so that she wouldn’t be a threat to her family.

Xiao Zeyu turned around and looked deeply at Auntie Qiu. Auntie Qiu felt unnatural under his gaze and awkwardly tugged at her clothes.

“I… Did 1 say something wrong?”

Xiao Zeyu shook his head and walked to Su Qing’s sickbed with his back facing Auntie Qiu, Xiaoying, and Li Shuang’er. His voice was low and emotionless.

“Alright, since you all think it’s good, it’s decided. I’ll send Su Qing over secretly in a while. Only the four of us know about this, so we must keep it a secret.”

“We promise not to tell.”

Li Shuang’er and Xiaoying knew the matter was serious. For Sister Su Qing’s sake, they could not tell anyone. The two of them agreed readily.

Auntie Qiu promised.

“Shuisheng, don’t worry, 1 won’t tell my family. Your auntie is tight-lipped!”

“Okay, from now on, you will not leave Su Qing’s side.”

Xiao Zeyu turned his head to look at the three of them and ordered with a dark expression.

Auntie Qiu was anxious when she heard that she could not leave.

“What? Am 1 not allowed to go home? That won’t do; the two are waiting for me to serve them at home! If I don’t go back, they won’t even be able to eat.”

“I’ll ask Aunt Li to make an extra meal for them. No one can leave before Su Qing wakes up.”

Xiao Zeyu’s words were firm and decisive. Auntie Qiu had an unwilling look on her face as she muttered.

“Then you have to let me go home and get a change of clothes, right?”

“No need. 1’11 send someone to get it for you.”

Xiao Zeyu’s eyes were dark and unfathomable, and he gave up on Aunt Qiu’s idea of going home.

“Your Grandpa Qiu and Uncle Qiu will be anxious. No matter what, you must let me go back and tell them, right?”

Auntie Qiu was very unhappy and kept muttering to herself. Xiao Zeyu ignored her and turned his back to her, looking at Su Qing, whose eyes were tightly shut. The whole room was filled with a low atmosphere.

For the entire morning, Auntie Qiu was restless. Xiaoying and Li Shuang’er took good care of Su Qing without any complaints. Auntie Qiu did not reach out her hand at all. When she looked at Su Qing, her eyes were filled with hatred that no one could understand.

Xiao Zeyu had been by Su Qing’s side the entire time. He could see the hatred in Auntie Qiu’s eyes. He was despondent. He didn’t want things to end like this, but those who achieved great things had to go through some experience. He couldn’t be soft-hearted.

Xiao Zeyu stood up and said to Xiaoying,

“I still have things to do in the army. The three of you take care of Su Qing first.”

“Alright, go ahead. Shuang’er and I will take good care of Sister Su Qing.”

Xiaoying agreed sensibly. She would never leave Sister Su Qing’s side and would not allow anyone to hurt her. They had to go through her if someone wanted to kill Sister Su Qing!

Xiaoying seemed to have grown up in an instant. She was calm and composed, and her eyes were firm. There was no trace of fear in her eyes. She took out the sleeve arrows Su Qing had made for the girls and handed them to Li Shuang’er.

“Shuang’er, let’s put on the sleeve arrows.”

“Alright.”

Li Shuang’er seemed very nervous. Her hand holding the sleeve arrow trembled, but she did not retreat. Looking at Su Qing, who was seriously injured on the sickbed, she took a deep breath and said firmly,

“In the past, Sister Su Qing protected us. Now, we’re protecting her.”

“Yes.”

Xiaoying nodded vigorously. The two helped each other put on the sleeve arrows and instantly became Su Qing’s bodyguards. One took care of Su Qing, and the other was responsible for guarding.

“I’m going to the toilet.”

Auntie Qiu looked at Xiaoying with a complicated expression, clutching her stomach and complaining that it hurt.

“Go ahead. We’re here!”

Li Shuang’er saw the painful expression on Aunt Qiu’s face and immediately told her to go to the toilet.

“Okay, you two take good care of Su Qing. I need to get some medicine from the doctor. If I have diarrhea in the middle of the night, I’ll die.”

Auntie Qiu said to Xiaoying and Li Shuang’er before leaving with her hands on her stomach.

Xiaoying looked at Aunt Qiu’s back thoughtfully. Li Shuang’er noticed Xiaoying staring at the door in a daze and asked her.

“What are you looking at?”

“Ah, my stomach hurts too. I’m going to the toilet. Take care of Sister Su Qing first.”

Xiaoying stood up abruptly and ran out after saying that.

“Why do you all have stomach aches?”

Li Shuang’er felt that it was bizarre. They had already left, but she did her best to care for Su Qing, not leaving her side.

Xiaoying came out of the house and went straight to the toilet in the backyard. She walked in a hurry and clenched her fists. She was afraid that her guess would be confirmed.

The backyard was quiet. Big Black saw Xiaoying in the stable and greeted her with a snort. However, Xiaoying was not in the mood to care about Big Black now. She quickened her pace and walked to the toilet. When she reached the toilet, Xiaoying shouted inside.

“Auntie Qiu, my stomach hurts.. Can you hurry up?”
