Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In the eting hall of the governnt office, Qin Feng sat in the main seat, Cheng Yu sat in the lower left chair, and Ji Shuisheng paced back and forth anxiously in the room.
“I don’t know much about this marriage. That day when the emperor urged your father, he only told a little about the situation. He said that he saved a rchant on the way. This rchant was grateful for his saving grace and wanted to arrange a marriage for their children. Your father gave him the key to open the box as a token of engagent.”
Qin Feng also knew his grandson’s heart was in Su Qing’s. He had initially planned to let this marriage rot in his stomach. Xiao Heng was dead, and it was chaotic. Where could he find that rchant?
Besides, even if he found her, the girl might have married. He had no choice but to tell him about it.
The commander of the Xiao Family Army guarding Jingshi Dao had made it clear that they would only recognize the Tiger Tally and not the people. Without Commander Tally, they would not submit to Ji Shuisheng. Without the Tiger Tally, they would not submit. These days, only a few of the Xiao Family Army’s forr subordinates that Cheng Yu had contacted had submitted to him. The other armies also had the sa request.
Now that he had money and iron, the weapons were being forged. The earlier he gathered the Xiao Family Army, the earlier he could train them. Ji Shuisheng and the Xiao Family Army still needed ti to get used to each other, so removing the commander’s seal was urgent.
“Grandpa, do you know which city my fiancee is in and what her surna is?”
Ji Shuisheng asked his grandfather. He wanted to avenge the blood feud and revive the Xiao family’s army. If he wanted to get the commander’s seal, he needed the engagent token his father gave his fiancee. He had to find her.
Su Qing had just arrived when she heard Ji Shuisheng’s words. She stood outside the room and felt like a stone stuck in her heart. She did not want to listen to him anymore and turned to leave.
“Miss Su, why did you leave?”
Qiu Yongkang ca in to report to Ji Shuisheng. As soon as he entered, he saw Su Qing leaving with a cold expression. He asked a question, but Su Qing walked past him with a dark face as if he did not hear him.
Qiu Yongkang stopped in his tracks and looked at Su Qing’s back. He turned back to look at the eting hall and frowned, his eyes filled with doubt.
When Qiu Yongkang reached the door of the eting hall, he heard Qin Feng’s voice coming from inside,
“I don’t know the exact situation of your fiancee. Your father only said a few words in a hurry and left. 1 know he’s a silk rchant who sells silk to the capital.”
“Then how do we find this clue?”
Ji Shuisheng frowned. He was hurrying to open the box and take out the commander’s seal when a fiancee suddenly appeared. He only knew that such a person existed, but he did not know her surna. Where could he find her?
When Qiu Yongkang heard this, he pushed open the door and walked into the house. Ji Shuisheng heard the door open and looked up. When he saw Qiu Yongkang, he greeted him,
“Yongkang is here.”
“Shuisheng, there’s sothing 1 need to discuss with you. Su Qing brought back hundreds of fat sheep. Head Yang wants to leave tomorrow but didn’t bring his n this ti.”
“Su Qing is back?”
Ji Shuisheng’s eyes lit up when he heard that Su Qing had returned. Qiu Yongkang nodded,
“That’s what 1 think. Why don’t we follow him and check out the situation in Luo City?”
“Alright, I’ll take two people with to escort you tomorrow.”
It was also because the sales in Luo City could not be lost easily that Ji Shuisheng had to make a trip personally.
Besides, the road was not peaceful so Yang couldn’t escort anyone back alone.
“Alright, I’ll go and talk to Head Yang.”
Qiu Yongkang nodded and left.
“Grandpa, I’ll go and see Su Qing first.”
Ji Shuisheng’s heart felt like it had grown grass. He was anxious to see Su Qing. As for his fiancee, who had appeared out of nowhere, he would find her if he could. He would think of another way to open the box if he could not find her.
Parents ‘orders and matchmakers’ words, as long as they found a girl engaged to Shuisheng, Shuisheng should marry her. Qin Feng saw that his grandson was fascinated with Su Qing and sighed. However, Su Qing’s character would not allow him to work with soone else.
This was a difficult thing to do. Now, he hoped that Shuisheng’s fiancee was married so that the annulnt of the engagent would be justified.
Ji Shuisheng went to the backyard of the governnt office to look for Su Qing, but Su Hanxuan did not know that his daughter had returned.
“Then she might be in the winery.”
Ji Shuisheng thought that if Su Qing was not ho, she must be at the winery. She attached great importance to the winery production, so she probably went to look at the wine barrels.
“I’ll go and take a look.”
He wanted to see Su Qing imdiately, not even for a mont. He wanted to see Su Qing even more, especially when he heard that he had a fiancee.
He didn’t want a second woman other than Su Qing in this life. This was also the promise he made to Qing’er. No matter what happened, this promise would never change.
When Ji Shuisheng saw the winery, he saw Su Qing checking the condition of the wine barrels. She had been away for two days, and three wine barrels had been made.
Su Qing scooped so water and poured it into the wine barrel to test if it was leaking. Not a single wine barrel leaked. The craftsman’s craftsmanship was excellent.
The craftsman was quite nervous when he saw Su Qing. He was afraid that he would lose his job if he did not do well.
“That’s right. We’ll follow this standard.”
Su Qing said lightly when she saw the craftsman’s restraint. The craftsman’s expression relaxed, and he quickly nodded in agreent.
“Su Qing.”
Ji Shuisheng relaxed when he saw Su Qing. He walked over with a gentle smile in his eyes. Su Qing turned around and looked at him coldly.
“It just happens that you’re here to tell sothing.”
Ji Shuisheng’s smile froze when he saw Su Qing’s serious expression. Did sothing happen? He nodded.
“Let’s talk inside!”
The temperature dropped drastically in November. Although it hadn’t snowed for the first ti, the north wind briefly whistled and froze Su Qing. Ji Shuisheng saw that Su Qing’s expression wasn’t good and thought she was tired from the journey back. As he walked into the house, he asked Su Qing with concern,
“Are you tired?”
“I’m not tired.”
Su Qing’s reaction was icy. He entered the room with a blank expression. Ji Shuisheng felt that sothing was wrong with Su Qing today and quickly asked,
“Did sothing happen?”
There was wine in the room. She felt the heat on her face when she entered the room. Su Qing frowned in frustration. Her heart was on fire now, and she felt even more uncomfortable when she entered this hot room.
“I have sothing to tell you. This wine and ointnt are my business. I didn’t say anything when we were together in the past. We’ll split it today, and our inco won’t be mixed in the future.”
Su Qing didn’t answer Ji Shuisheng but spoke coldly to him. She looked at Ji Shuisheng with a distant and cold gaze as if she was discussing business with soone.
Ji Shuisheng looked at Su Qing in a daze. Today, Su Qing gave him a strange feeling. It wasn’t that he couldn’t bear to part with her, but Su Qing’s attitude made him feel that she was deliberately cutting ties with him.
“How is that?”
Su Qing saw that Ji Shuisheng was only looking at her and not saying anything, so she frowned and asked. Ji Shuisheng nodded.
“Alright, I’ll get Yongkang to calculate the bill.”
“Yes.”
Su Qing snorted and didn’t even notice Ji Shuisheng’s order to leave.
” You can go first. I’m going to brew so wine.”
Su Qing chased away Ji Shuisheng. After leaving the winery, he stood outside the door for a long ti. He decided to ask his sister what happened to Su Qing..
