“Shuisheng, you must be hungry from the long journey, right? I’ll tell the kitchen to prepare dinner. Why don’t you come with me and see if you want to eat anything?”
Su Hanxuan smiled at Ji Shuisheng. It was awkward to call him Young Master Ji, but he still called him Shuisheng like before. He wanted to take Ji Shuisheng away to talk to him alone.
“… Fine!”
Ji Shuisheng was smart and immediately understood that Su Hanxuan had something to say to him. He nodded and agreed. “Alright.”
On the way, Su Hanxuan hesitated for a while before saying,
“Shuisheng, there’s something that I think Qing’er didn’t tell you.”
Ji Shuisheng had been waiting for Su Hanxuan to speak. His heart sank when he heard him say this.
“Uncle Su, what are you talking about?”
“It’s like this. When Qing’er was young, I arranged a marriage for her. Right now, she still has a marriage agreement. Hence, even if both of you have already decided on each other, I hope you can restrain yourselves for now and wait for me to find Qing’er’s fiance before making a decision.”
After Su Hanxuan finished speaking, Ji Shuisheng felt as if lightning struck him. Qing’er also has a fiance? Ji Shuisheng was already very worried about Chu Jingfeng coveting Su Qing. Now, Su Qing’s fiance has appeared. This was a powerful opponent who his parents had arranged. Ji Shuisheng was even more uncertain.
“Qing’er and I have already set our hearts on each other. In this life, I will only marry her. Uncle Su, please grant us our wish.”
Ji Shuisheng cupped his fists at Su Hanxuan and sincerely begged him to grant their wish.
“Give me a year. If I still can’t find Qing’er’s fiance within a year, even if they don’t have any fate, I’ll still be able to answer to my benefactor.”
Ji Shuisheng’s sincerity also touched Su Hanxuan. He had promised Ji Shuisheng a year, but there had been no news of him for so many years. He might not even be able to find him in a year.
A year? Ji Shuisheng didn’t want to agree. A year’s change was too big. He would have formally proposed marriage to Su Qing’s parents if his godmother hadn’t been killed.
Now, a fiance had appeared out of nowhere and messed up his plans. However, Su Hanxuan’s words were reasonable. One woman could not be promised a second husband and a one-year contract was also good.
Ji Shuisheng couldn’t object, so he could only nod in agreement.
After Ji Shuisheng left, Yang Ruxue and her husband advised their daughter not to settle down with Ji Shuisheng for the time being and to give them a year.
“There’s no need, right? Whether 1 find him or not, I will never marry him.”
Su Qing didn’t mind and rejected him directly.
“You child.”
Yang Ruxue looked at her daughter helplessly. It was all because she had not received any formal education in the past few years that her daughter had become so rebellious.
“I’ll go and cook for Shuisheng.”
Su Qing didn’t want to continue arguing with her mother, so she got up and left, leaving Yang Ruxue and her sister sighing. “Who does this child look like?” “If it were up to me, you shouldn’t bother about the marriage agreement. After so many years, he hasn’t received any news.”
Yang Rubing tried to persuade her sister. She felt that Su Qing’s fiance’s family was not reliable. Her brother-in-law had met him on the road, so there was no need for her daughter to marry her savior, right?
In any case, such a thing would never happen in her family. The man Luan Hong wanted to marry had to be someone she liked. As parents, they couldn’t just casually match up. The ones who lived their lives were the children, not the adults.
No one had the right to decide on someone else’s marriage, even if that person was their daughter.
This was also why their family allowed Luan Hong to choose her husband. Yang Rubing had to admit that she was very open-minded.
Yang Ruxue felt depressed when she heard her sister’s words. She was angry that Old Master had casually arranged a marriage for her daughter and delayed her marriage.
If she couldn’t find him in her lifetime, would her daughter be unable to get married?
Su Qing ran to the kitchen and personally cooked Ji Shuisheng’s favorite dishes. Her cooking skills had already reached level nine and a half, and she was slightly away from getting the maximum level. She had been running around and delaying her levelling up during this period. Now that she was free, she had to speed up and reach the maximum level as soon as possible.
To entertain Ji Shuisheng, Su Qing killed a tender lamb that grew up in the past. The meat was tender and plump. Half of it was roasted as a lamb, and the rest was cut into a mutton hotpot. There were big carps at home. She patiently scraped off the fish meat and chopped it into fish paste before making fish balls. In winter, the vegetables in Jingshi Dao were only cabbage, carrots, potatoes, and other vegetables that could be stored for a long time. She cut a little of each kind, and the mutton was cut into two pots that were enough for the whole family to eat.
The internal organs were stir-fried with chilli, and the sheep’s hoof tendons were cut off and braised. Because her mother hadn’t finished chanting scriptures for 49 days, she had been vegetarian, so she even made two vegetarian dishes for her mother.
One was sweet and crispy shredded radish and a plate of fried potato chips. It was just two simple dishes. When she had time, he would teach Uncle Yang and the others how to make tofu and raw soybean sprouts. Otherwise, it would be so dull and uncomfortable to eat them all winter.
After Su Qing finished cooking, she remembered that her father had brought Shuisheng to the kitchen. Why didn’t she see anyone?
She was more curious about what her father had said to Shuisheng.
When Su Qing finished cooking, Luan Hong returned from the tavern. She was looking for her cousin in the yard. When she heard that Su Qing was cooking, she came to the kitchen to look for her.
“Get out.”
Luan Hong entered the room and chased out all the servants in the kitchen, leaving only her and Su Qing.
“What’s the matter?”
“Cousin, do you not like Chu Jingfeng?”
Luan Hong mustered up her courage to ask Su Qing. The usually carefree Luan Hong blushed.
Su Qing saw her cousin’s beautiful big eyes looking at her nervously. Her two hands were intertwined uneasily. That kind of worried look was very much like a woman in love.
She told Luan Hong resolutely,
“I don’t like him.”
Luan Hong’s big eyes instantly lit up. Her smile was as bright as the spring breeze as if thousands of peach blossoms were blooming. It was gorgeous and dazzling. Her crystal clear eyes looked at Su Qing shyly. She bit her lip and asked her in embarrassment,
“Then can I like him?”
“Sure.”
Su Qing admired Luan Hong’s courage to pursue love. This girl’s bad habit of liking beautiful young masters could not be changed. She was utterly obsessed with looks and had no rationality.
“However, you’d better understand it clearly before making a decision. I feel that this Chu Jingfeng is not an ordinary person. He has a unique temperament and is not as simple as he looks.”
Su Qing reminded her cousin not to quickly sink her heart into it. She had to understand Chu Jingfeng’s background first.
From when Chu Jingfeng appeared to the time he helped out, it seemed like he had a very deep foundation in Jingshi Dao Sect, but he was not a local.
Usually, many spies from other countries would be in border cities like this. The spies liked to open restaurants the most. The gossip from the customers who came to eat daily was their source of information.
Luan Hong’s eyes widened when she heard her cousin’s words. She asked her nervously,
“Cousin, do you know everything?”
Su Qing felt that there was a hidden meaning in her words, so she raised her eyebrows and asked Luan Hong,
“What do you know?”
