Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Su Qing stopped and looked at her elegant father in the morning light. She wanted to find out about her fiance’s situation. If it was necessary to cancel the engagement, she should do so and not waste her time.
“Yes, I’ve always wanted to tell you about this, but when I saw you and Ji Shuisheng…Father didn’t know what to say. Your future father-in-law is my savior. I can’t go back on my word, but 1 respect your opinion.”
Su Hanxuan looked at his daughter awkwardly. Had she not slept all night? Her hair was covered in frost. It seemed that this matter had troubled her daughter.
He didn’t want to force Su Qing. It wasn’t easy to get her back. He didn’t want to lose his daughter because of this.
“Since Father respects my opinion, help me break off the engagement!”
Su Qing looked up at her father. Her voice was calm but firm.
“…. Alright, since you’ve already decided, 1 won’t force you.”
When Su Hanxuan heard his daughter reject him without hesitation, he couldn’t help but sigh. In the end, he still felt sorry for his benefactor.
“Yes.”
Su Qing nodded and continued to grind.
Su Hanxuan had always been by his daughter’s side. He had tried to help her a few times but was rejected by Su Qing. He could only watch from the side.
“Father, there’s something I want to discuss with you. Mo City is too unsafe. Let’s move to Jingshi Dao.”
After Su Qing finished grinding all the soybeans, she looked up at her father and told him about moving.
“Let’s go? What about the winery? You don’t know a single person at Jingshi Dao.”
Su Hanxuan was a little reluctant to leave Mo City. He had just settled down, and his daughter’s winery was here. He realized that making wine was profitable, especially doing business with the Tartan Kingdom. It was more beneficial than any business he had done before.
“It’s okay. We’ll get to know each other slowly.”
Su Qing picked up a basin full of soy milk and went to the next step. She lowered her eyes, hiding all her emotions.
Jingshi Dao?
Previously, she had been talking about escaping to that place. She had heard from Ji Shuisheng and Xiaoying that a vast black land existed. She still wanted to farm and grow food on that land.
“Alright, wherever you go, your father and mother will go.”
Her father’s soft voice came from behind her, full of love for her daughter. Su Qing held the basin tightly. Her eyes were red, and her nose was sour. She had to hold on to this kinship.
After losing Ji Shuisheng’s love, her family was the only thing she cared about.
After confirming that he was leaving, Su Qing felt as if the ma.s.sive rock in her heart had been lifted, and her mood suddenly became bright.
Su Qing fried some pancakes and dough sticks for everyone. She made some tofu mixed with scallion from the freshly cooked tofu. She added some soybean milk with sugar, a favorite drink for her parents.
Xiao Chen took a fragrant fried pancake and ate it from the middle. He revealed a mischievous little face and smiled at his sister.
Xiao Qi felt that its master was in a good mood today, and its appet.i.te was also improved. This good fellow ate enough for three people, which made Yang Ruxue worried that Xiao Qi would burst.
During dinner, Su Hanxuan told everyone what his daughter had told him.
Hearing that they would move out, Yang Ruxue and Yang Rubing didn’t want to leave.
They had just familiarized themselves with Mo City and now had to go to an unfamiliar city. They really couldn’t bear to leave.
“Su Qing is right. It’s too dangerous to stay in Mo City.”
Su Hanxuan consoled Yang Ruxue. Thinking about what happened that day made him feel a lingering fear. If Ji Shuisheng hadn’t rushed back in time, if Xing Ruhai hadn’t been smart enough to lure the Wan Family Army away, their family would have been exposed.
“But we don’t have a household register or a travel pa.s.s. How can we go?”
Luan Qingshan said worriedly to his brother-in-law. He knew this much when he was a Zhizhou.
“Uncle, you don’t have to worry. The official seal of Mo City is still there, so you can have any household registration you want. The travel pa.s.s is even easier.”
Su Qing had thought it through very clearly. She had to take Yang Zhi with her. She needed them to escort the goods and protect her parents, so she had even thought of a way out for them.
“Su Qing has thought it through. We’ll do as you say!”
Luan Qingshan’s expression was somewhat sorrowful. What had become of the Great Xia Kingdom? If the official’s seal escaped, he would casually open a fake household register, fake doc.u.ments, and fake approval doc.u.ments. If this continued, the Great Xia Kingdom would be in chaos.
“Uncle, this matter still needs your old man to do it, we have never written the road ticket, nor will we open the approval.”
Su Qing looked at her uncle. Of all the people present, only her uncle was an official, so she could only ask him for help.
“Alright, 1’11 do it.”
Luan Qingshan found a place to use his skills and straightened his body. He was no longer a burden. As for the feelings he had just now, he threw them to the back of his mind.
“Uncle, let’s open another winery.”
Su Qing was afraid that he would not be able to approve the winery at Jingshi Dao. It was better to be prepared. Although this was the approval from Mo City, she could open a branch as long as she had the main store. It was not difficult.
“Alright.”
Luan Qingshan agreed, but he immediately thought of something important. “What about those children?”
“We’ll bring them over after we’ve stabilized.”
Su Qing thought for a moment. Their family was already a big target. If they cared for more than 20 children, they would be suspected. Therefore, they had to establish a foothold first.
She had already done her best to save those children from the land of tigers and wolves. She would not affect the safety of her family for them.
“Sigh, this is the only way.”
Luan Qingshan was still a little reluctant. These days, he had been teaching the children. He liked this kind of teaching and educating work. He felt that it was more meaningful than being a Zhizhou.
In the current Great Xia Kingdom, it wasn’t as if you wanted to stay out of the dirty and stay out of it. If you saw injustice and didn’t care, what was the difference between you and those muddle-headed officials who didn’t make decisions for the people?
“Cousin, are we leaving?”
Luan Hong asked Su Qing in a low voice. She had been enjoying her work in the winery, but she could not see her friends after leaving this place. She would not be able to do her work in the winery either. She, Xiaoying, Jiang Yuyan, and Li Shuang ‘er had been getting along like real sisters.
“Yes, pack up. I’ll go to Jingshi Dao to buy some property before returning to pick you up.”
Su Qing nodded. Although she was hurrying to leave, she couldn’t bring her entire family to Jingshi Dao on a whim.
She was unfamiliar with the place and had no place to settle down. Was she going to let her family suffer with her?
She didn’t tell Xiaoying that She was leaving. She didn’t know what to say to Xiaoying.
Initially, she had been tied to Peach Blossom Cove because of Xiaoying’s kindness. It was also because of her that she had gotten to know Ji Shuisheng…
Su Qing shook her head, unwilling to think about it anymore. She would tell Xiaoying on the day she left!
“Cousin, can you take me along?”
Luan Hong’s eyes lit up as she looked at Su Qing. The days she spent with her cousin were carefree and thrilling.
“No.”
Su Qing refused. She could ride alone and travel between Jingshi Dao and Mo City in two days. Bringing Luan Hong along would delay her.
Su Qing was a person who would leave immediately. After breakfast, she rode the big black horse and headed straight for Jingshi Dao..
