“Qing’er is back? Come in quickly!”
When Su Hanxuan heard his daughter’s voice, he quickly stood up and looked at the door enthusiastically, waiting for his daughter to enter the house.
Ever since they had reunited, they had been separated from each other. Her daughter always stayed at home for a night before leaving. She would go for a few days or even ten to half a month. It was too difficult to see her.
“Father, uncle.”
Su Qing walked into the room. She was not used to the etiquette of this dynasty, so she did not greet her father and uncle. She only greeted them as a greeting.
Su Hanxuan and Luan Qingshan were already used to Su Qing’s personality, and no one blamed her. No one had taught her these things since she was young, so it was unsurprising that the child did not know how to do it.
Although Yang Xue had wanted to teach Su Qing the manners of a lady, after teaching her a few times, she saw that Su Qing was absent-minded and very impatient. Yang Xue feared she would drive her daughter away and did not dare to teach her again.
“Qing’er, come over and warm yourself. Are you hungry? Can Father get the kitchen to make your favorite golden cake?”
Su Hanxuan took good care of his daughter and coaxed her like she was a child.
“Alright.”
Su Qing nodded and warmed her hands in front of the stove. It was good to have coal. It was snowy outside, but the house was as hot as summer.
Su Hanxuan pushed open the door and ordered the servants outside to have the kitchen prepare the dishes that Miss liked.
Luan Qingshan asked Su Qing about the situation in Mo City.
Su Qing looked at her uncle.
“The Emperor has changed. Wan Shengchang killed the previous Emperor, and now the country is called Great Zhou.”
Luan Qingshan was furious when he heard this. He slapped the coffee table and said,
“Wan Shengchang, you traitor, brought chaos to the world and killed the emperor.”
Su Qing looked at her uncle’s indignant scolding. She did not interrupt and silently warmed herself by the fire. The literati could only babble and use their tongues and pens to punish the rebels. They were all clay Bodhisattva crossing the river and unable to protect themselves.
“I will charge into the capital and tear that old bastard Wan Shengchang into pieces.”
Luan Qingshan was so angry that his face turned red and panted heavily. Su Qing looked at him and said expressionlessly,
“Please calm down. It’s not worth it for the dog emperor.”
Luan Qingshan was speechless. Yes, Yongqi was also the unfilial son of the usurper. Who was more glorious than who?
However, Wan Shengchang was a shameless villain. He committed all kinds of evil deeds. When he became the Emperor, the people of the world suffered.
“Brother-in-law, we’re all ordinary people now. Let’s not talk about state affairs.”
After Su Hanxuan finished giving orders to the servants, he heard Luan Qingshan’s indignant curses. He quickly stopped him. The walls had ears, and their family had fled to Jingshi Dao. There was no other place to hide.
The Wan family was ruthless. It was useless to scold them. They would only suffer crazy revenge.
For the sake of his wife and children, it was better not to discuss state affairs.
Whoever became the Emperor, the world’s people would suffer all the same.
Why bother?
“It’s all because of your thinking that the old thief usurped the throne.”
Luan Qingshan vented his anger on Lian Qiao and scolded him angrily.
“Alright, alright. It’s all my fault. Brother-in-law, don’t be angry. It’s not worth it.”
Su Hanxuan looked helpless after being angered. He begged his brother-in-law to stop making a scene.
“Don’t worry; I will overthrow him.”
Su Qing’s indifferent words scared Su Hanxuan out of his wits. Did Wentian borrow his daughter’s courage? How dare you say anything?
“Su Qing, you…You want to rebel?”
“It’s not called rebellion; it’s called revenge. Wan Shengchang almost ate Xiao Chen. This revenge has to be taken.”
Su Qing’s expression was calm, and her face was not angry. However, Su Hanxuan’s heart skipped a beat. He knew that this daughter of his would keep her word, and he was terrified that she would bring disaster upon herself.
“Yes, we should take revenge on that Wan fellow.”
Luan Qingshan was a scholar who was not afraid of things getting out of hand. He raised his fist and shouted excitedly as if he had already taken care of Wan Shengchang. His eyes were shining.
“The people don’t fight with the officials. Moreover, he is the Emperor who controls all the soldiers and horses in the world. Are you going to overthrow it with big words?”
Su Hanxuan glared at Su Qing and his brother-in-law, who looked agitated. Even if a scholar rebelled, they could only talk.
“Father, I accept the marriage you arranged for me.”
Su Qing didn’t want to discuss how he rebelled with his father. She suddenly changed the topic to the marriage her father had arranged for him.
“… What?”
Su Hanxuan’s thoughts couldn’t keep up with his daughter’s leap. He looked at Su Qing in a daze. What did she mean?
Wasn’t she adamant about it?
Su Qing opened her hands to her father.”
“I said that I agree to the marriage that you have set.”
“Silver bell is with your mother. Qing’er, why did you change your mind? Did you have a conflict with Shuisheng?”
Of course, Su Hanxuan was happy that his daughter could help him fulfill his promise to his benefactor, but he wanted to know what happened between his daughter and Ji Shuisheng. His daughter was so agitated that she tried to rebel.
“There’s no conflict. Since the silver bell is in my mother’s hands, I’ll ask her for it.”
Su Qing still hadn’t told her father why she had changed her mind. After informing her father, she left the study behind a dumbfounded Su Hanxuan and a passionate Luan Qingshan.
Su Qing returned to the back of the house and opened the cotton curtain to enter the inner room. Her mother and aunt were sitting on the brick bed. Her mother was holding an embroidery shed and embroidering while his aunt was eating melon seeds. The two sisters were chatting happily.
“Mother, Aunt.”
Su Qing called out. When the two sisters saw Su Qing return, they put down the things in their hands and excitedly let Su Qing warm up on the brick bed.
“I told you that the magpie standing on our roof in the morning is a happy occasion. Look, our Qing’er is back.”
Yang Rubing’s voice was filled with a smile. Yang Ruxue waved at Su Qing with a kind look in her eyes. “Qing’er, you must be cold. Quickly come and sit beside Mother.”
After half a month, her daughter had become even more slender and graceful. She didn’t have a delicate aura but was as brave as a female general. Yang Ruxue looked at her daughter with pride.
“Mother.”
Su Qing took off her cotton boots and sat beside Yang Ruxue, intending to ask about the silver bell.
In the end, her mother didn’t allow her to speak. She asked her aunt about her situation these days. Yang Ruxue even begged her daughter.
“Qing’er, Mother knows that you are not happy with the marriage that your father has set. Mother has already asked him to find a man to break the engagement. Don’t leave; stay at home and accompany Mother, okay?”
“Don’t make things difficult for Father. I’ve agreed to the marriage.”
Su Qing had to comfort her mother first. Yang Ruxue thought she had heard wrong and looked at her daughter in a daze.
What was going on? Qing’er went out for a round and came back for a change? Or did someone persuade her to understand?
Weren’t you adamant about opposing such a marriage?
“This is a good thing. It just so happens that your father can’t sleep or eat well because you want to break off the engagement.”
Yang Ruxue was only stunned momentarily, but she immediately pulled her daughter with a beaming face. That was great; her daughter had figured it out on her own.
“The problem is, brother-in-law doesn’t know where our benefactor is?”
Yang Rubing poured cold water on her sister. The smile on Yang Ruxue’s face disappeared and was replaced by a worried look. If she couldn’t find a benefactor for the rest of her life, would her daughter still be a widow?
“Mother, where’s the engagement token?”
