“Shuisheng, Su Qing.”

It was Qiu Yongkang. His face was anxious, and there was anger in his eyes. Seeing his expression, Ji Shuisheng quickly asked,

“What’s wrong?”

“When the wine barrel craftsman heard I agreed to pay him with a sheep, he turned back on his word.”

Qiu Yongkang, who had such a good temper, was so angry that his face turned red. His chest was heaving up and down as he spoke. It was apparent how infuriating the craftsman was.

“Why did he go back on his word?”

Su Qing still wanted to deliver the wine to the Third Prince three days later on the day of the coal delivery. The key was the wine barrels. She didn’t understand why the deal had changed.

“The craftsman said what he understood. He wanted to make a wine barrel in exchange for a sheep.”

Qiu Yongkang was panting heavily as he spoke. This was too much.

A sheep could be sold for five taels of silver, but how could an artisan make a wine barrel for five taels? Wasn’t this taking advantage of a burning house?

“He’s insatiable.”

Su Qing’s pretty face turned cold after hearing that. She hated it when people threatened her. She would think of another way to make a wine barrel and not indulge in this habit.

“I’m not afraid of the wine curing longer. Just wait for Brother Yang to bring the goods over.”

“What do you want me to buy?”

When Su Qing finished speaking, Yang Zhi walked into the courtyard with a smile.

“Brother Yang.”

Ji Shuisheng quickly went over and enthusiastically led Yang Zhi into the room.

“You must be tired from the journey.”

“It’s not hard. I won’t go in first. Hurry up and find someone to unload the car.”

Although Yang Zhi was travel-worn, his face was joyful, and his eyes were bright. There was no trace of fatigue.

“The food has been brought back.”

Qiu Yongkang was very happy. Su Qing used all the food she had to make wine. If they didn’t bring back the food, they could only eat mutton. The price would be too high.

“Haha, Second Master Su bought all these grains for us. Not to mention the purchase documents from the grain store, we had a smooth journey.”

Yang Zhi had a cheerful personality, and his voice carried a smile. Everyone was happy to hear that.

“Brother Yang, have you given the medicine to Madam Su?”

Su Qing walked over and asked Yang Zhi. It was not easy to find the thousand-year-old Lingzhi. She was most worried about her mother’s illness. She hoped that she would recover soon.

“I handed it over to Second Master Su. Before I left, I went to visit my sister-in-law. She’s doing well. The effect of the medicine is perfect.”

Yang Zhi nodded with a smile and briefly explained the situation.

Su Qing felt that her parents did not tell Yang Zhi about their relationship. This was what she was happy to hear. After all, if she were to implicate her parents in the future, it would be a great crime to confiscate and exterminate her family.

Therefore, she had warned her parents in the letter not to tell anyone about their relationship.

“Did you send the child back safely?”

Ji Shuisheng was concerned about whether the child was safely returned to the Su family. After returning, he had been thinking about it. At that time, he was tied down by the warhorse and could not accompany Brother Yang Zhi to send the child back.

“I sent him back. Second Master Su asked me to thank you on his behalf. He said that you are Xiao Chen’s savior.”

Yang Zhi nodded with a smile. The child had been lost and found again. Second Master Su was very grateful to Ji Shuisheng. Who knew what would have happened to the child if it weren’t for him? He was terrified.

“What happened?”

Su Qing felt something was wrong and pulled Ji Shuisheng to ask anxiously.

“Second Master Su’s son was snatched away. I happened to bump into him in Jin City….”

Ji Shuisheng told her how he had plotted to lure the An Family’s army into the city to save the child from the Wan Family’s army when he encountered the Wan Family’s army and captured the child in Jin City. He also told her how he and Yang Zhi had saved the child from the An Family’s army.

“Su Qing, what happened to you?”

After Ji Shuisheng finished speaking, he realized Su Qing’s expression was improper. Her eyes were filled with killing intent, and her pretty face was covered in dark clouds.

“Why did they capture the child?”

Su Qing didn’t answer Ji Shuisheng. She looked at Yang Zhi and asked. She didn’t allow anyone to touch her family.

Su Qing’s eyes were as sharp as a sword and filled with killing intent. Xiao Chen was so young and so cute. She would tear anyone who dared to lay a hand on him into pieces.

“I heard something in the An family’s military camp. It said that Prime Minister Wan pursued immortality. Perhaps he wanted to use these children to refine immortality pills?”

Ji Shuisheng told Su Qing what he had heard in the An family’s military camp. Yang Zhi also said, “I went back and told Second Master Su about this matter. He also suspected the same thing. This time, the girls who were snatched away were born in the Yin years, Yin months, Yin times, and the boys born in the Yang years, Yang months, Yang times.”

” Imperial Concubine Wan sent eunuchs to Luo City to order the Zhizhou to investigate the birth times of all children under three. The Zhizhou of Luo City was Xiao Chen’s uncle. He felt that the situation was not right, so he changed the birth times of all the children at special times before reporting them. However, he did not expect the advisor in his government office to betray him…”

It turned out that when Luan Zhizhou went to Second Master Su to discuss the investigation of the child’s birth characters, Su Hanxuan thought it was not a good thing and suggested to Luan Zhizhou to change the time of the child’s birth.

Luan Zhizhou had done it very secretly, but he had an ambitious advisor by his side. He secretly recorded the children born at a particular time. When the people sent by Imperial Concubine Wan came over and asked them to pick out the girls born in the Yin year and the boys born in the Yang year, the advisor betrayed Luan Zhizhou.

He took out the names and addresses he had secretly recorded and reported them to the people of Imperial Concubine Wan. This led to the matter of snatching the child.

Su Qing listened expressionlessly, but her heart was burning with anger.

‘Grand Master, Noble Consort Wan? I don’t care who you are. If you touch my brother, you’ll die.’

“Since Prime Minister Wan is the one who wants the child, then the child will still be in danger. This won’t do. Brother Yang, quickly inform Second Master Su to take the child and leave Luo City.”

“That’s what 1 advised Second Master Su to do, but he has too many businesses in Luo City and can’t leave for a while. He can only hide the child first and leave after dealing with all the businesses in Luo City.”

Yang Zhi’s eyes were filled with worry. He had even persuaded Second Master Su to come to Mo City this time. Although the border was unsafe, with Shuisheng and Su Qing around, it was still safe.

“At a time like this, is business more important, or is Chen more important?”

Su Qing was very angry. Xiao Chen had been captured once, but her father was still concerned about business?

“Second Master Su is a benevolent person. If he doesn’t arrange things properly and leaves, those workers who have been with him for many years will have to live in trouble. He can’t bear it and wants to settle them all down.”

Yang Zhi admired Second Master Su on this point. Because of his benevolence, Yang Zhi was willing to sacrifice himself for Second Master Su.

“Shuisheng, Big Brother Yang and 1 will return to Luo City together this time.”

Su Qing couldn’t wait another day. She had to return to Luo City and bring her brother to Mo City.

When she thought of Xiao Chen being thrown into the pill furnace to refine pills, her heart would boil like oil.

Perhaps there was a better way. It could be done once and for all. His parents and younger brother would not be displaced and could still be safe and happy. “You’re going to Luo City? You’re still wanted!”

Ji Shuisheng didn’t know why Su Qing wanted to return to Luo City. He was worried.

“I have some personal matters to deal with.”

Su Qing had made up her mind. She returned to her room to pack her things, preparing to leave after the deal with Tartan the next day.

When Su Qing and Yang Zhi rushed back to Luo City, they realized something big had happened!
