80 Chapter 80. The Destruction of The Dream
“Shuisheng, you drive the carriage.”
Su Qing passed the whip to Ji Shuisheng. It seemed that he was being ordered to drive the carriage, but Ji Shuisheng understood that she wanted him to walk less and rest more.
“Thank you,” he said.
Ji Shuisheng took the whip and thanked Su Qing in a low voice.
!!
“…”
Su Qing glanced at him and said indifferently,
“You had no choice but to be drugged.”
In other words, I’m sorry; I shouldn’t have drugged you.
Ji Shuisheng didn’t expect Su Qing to take the initiative to mention this and smiled in relief,
“I understand. Thank you for your efforts. Otherwise, I might have made a big mistake.”
Su Qing nodded. She had never explained anything to anyone before. This was the first time.
Su Qing stopped talking to Ji Shuisheng and pulled open the curtain to sit in the carriage. The weather was too hot, and the curtain made the carriage seem stuffy. Su Qing pulled up the curtain to let the wind in.
“Brother, this snack is delicious. Here you go.”
The little tiger only took a small bite and was reluctant to eat the rest of the cake. When he saw Su Qing sitting in, he offered the cake to Su Qing like he was presenting a treasure. The little tiger was smart, so Su Qing remembered he didn’t want him to call her sister.
“Thank you,” she said.
Su Qing looked at the pure love and adoration in the child’s eyes. He treated her as his closest relative. She lowered her head and took a small bite. She did not despise the pastry that the little tiger had bitten, nor did she avoid the places that the child had bitten. This would have been impossible in the past, but now, she did not hold any grudges.
Qiu Yue dragged her heavy legs and walked mechanically with the team. When she saw that Su Qing had caused Ji Shuisheng’s face to pale from anger, she didn’t dare to look for Su Qing, so she ran to her grandfather.
“Grandpa, look at how shameless Su Qing is. Does she think she’s a young Miss? She made brother Shuisheng her coachman? She’s just an abandoned woman.”
Jealousy made her face ferocious. Old master Qiu looked at his strange granddaughter and scolded her sternly,
“Qui Yte, you don’t have Su Qing’s broad vision. Is she letting Shuisheng be a coachman? She wanted Shuisheng to have a good rest. Is walking and riding the same? Also, if I hear you slander Su Qing again, don’t blame me for kicking you out of the house.”
The old man lowered his voice. In the end, he still wanted to save his granddaughter’s face. If word spread that she was a jealous woman, it would be a problem for her to get married in the future. Women hated jealousy the most.
“Grandpa, why can’t I tell you? Can’t I tell you she has been seducing brother Shuisheng all day? Brother Shuisheng and I are going to …”
When Qiu Yue saw that her grandfather was so angry that he wanted to kick her out of the family because of Su Qing, her words became increasingly unpleasant. Ultimately, she even wanted to say that she would be engaged to Ji Shuisheng and had the right to interfere when Su Qing seduced Ji Shuisheng.
“You’re not worthy of Shuisheng, so give up!”
Old master Qiu looked at his granddaughter with disappointment and gave her a hard blow.
“When Jingshi Dao has settled down, I will find you a husband. A grown daughter can not be kept at home.”
Qiu Yue stepped back sadly, her eyes full of despair. She complained to her grandfather,
“Grandfather, I’m your granddaughter. How could you treat me like this for Su Qing? ”
“If you say one more word, I’ll sell you out right now.”
Old master Qiu knew that indecisiveness would only lead to chaos, so he wanted his granddaughter to give up on him.
“Father, why? Didn’t you want Qiu Yue and Shuisheng to be together before?”
Qiu Yue fell into her mother’s arms and cried. Aunt Qiu’s heart ached, and she asked her father-in-law on her behalf.
“When Bai Jiuxiang was still alive, I suggested once, but Bai Jiuxiang disagreed. He used the excuse that the child was still young at that time, but I knew he was unwilling. He accepted it because he feared it would hurt my reputation.”
Old master Qiu sighed. If he could marry Qiu Yue, it would be a great story. However, he suddenly understood why Bai Jiuxiang disagreed with this marriage. Shuisheng was such a good child, and he loved him very much.
“Father, let’s work hard. What if Shuisheng also likes Qiu Yue? They were childhood sweethearts, so it’s impossible for them not to have feelings for each other. Let’s not try to make Qiu Yue give up.”
Aunt Qiu begged her father-in-law in a low voice, doing her best for her daughter’s happiness.
“Can’t you see Shuisheng’s attitude towards Qiu Yue? Why did she have to humiliate herself? Do we have to force Shuisheng away?”
Old master Qiu looked at his daughter-in-law reproachfully. It would be difficult for him to propose marriage to Shuisheng, but a man like Shuisheng would never listen to orders and marry Qiu Yue just because he was the clan leader of Peach Blossom Cove.
Perhaps Shuisheng would take Su Qing and his sister away from the team at Peach Blossom Cove if he was forced into a corner. The old man was clear that it wasn’t that Shuisheng couldn’t leave Peach Blossom, but rather, it was that Peach Blossom couldn’t leave Shuisheng.
Without the protection of the water-type Peach Blossom, the victims would be like the rest; without food or water, they would be bullied.
Aunt Qiu lowered her head after being reprimanded by her father-in-law. She knew very well that Shuisheng only treated Qiu Yue as his little sister at Peach Blossom Cove. After they escaped, Qiu Yue’s actions caused Shuisheng to distance himself from her. He wasn’t even willing to speak to her alone. He didn’t have any feelings for a woman at all.
However, Qiu Yue had loved Shuisheng since she was young. Qiu Yue would be very sad and desperate if she couldn’t marry him.
She was scared when Qiu Yue saw her mother come back and sigh. Even her mother couldn’t help her?
She was still jubilantly waiting for her grandfather and brother Shuisheng to propose marriage yesterday, and today, she was drenched in cold water.
Su Qing did not know what Qiu Yue was thinking. She did not stay idle in the carriage either. She was immersed in her handiwork. She picked up large pieces of cloth from the pile and sewed them together. She cut and sewed them according to Xiao Qi’s design.
Ji Shuisheng drove the carriage very steadily. He would pull the reins to slow the horse down in places with potholes so that the carriage would not be so bumpy, but it would still sway left and right.
Xiaoying and the children fell asleep in the carriage. Only Su Qing’s body swayed back and forth, her hands still sewing.
When the carriage entered Tiegang mountain, a small piece of clothing was completed in her sewing. At the same time, the system’s cheerful voice rang in Su Qing’s ears.
[ Congratulations, host. Your weaving skill has been upgraded to Level 2. Your spiritual power, physical strength, and warlord abilities have all been upgraded to level 20. ]
Su Qing looked at the clothes in her hands, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. A smile flashed across her eyes.
Didn’t she also have a talent for knitting? Would embroidery progress faster?
Su Qing ordered Xiao Qi to find the little tiger pattern for her. Xiao Qi ran in the system with her short legs, searching for the little tiger’s embroidered pattern on the screen.
Su Qing suddenly thought of a crucial problem. She had not bought any embroidery needles or threads, so her idea of embroidering a little tiger could not be realized.
“The host has worked hard on the task. The reward is a ball of colorful embroidery thread, an embroidery needle, and a round embroidery shed.
...
Just as Su Qing was about to give up, the system’s voice rang again. Su Qing smiled. She realized that the system was becoming more and more understanding. It always knew what she needed and would send it to her quickly.
The system sensed Su Qing’s praise.
“Thank you for your praise, host. I will continue to serve you!
“Not bad.”
Su Qing complimented it again. The god of war system used to be cold, but now it was a little like him.
“We’ve arrived at Tiegang mountain. Everyone, rest here and prepare to start a fire and cook.”
