“Where did Su Qing go?”

Ji Shuisheng implored Luan Hong. Why would Su Qing leave without saying goodbye? Why did she distance herself from him?

“She went to Luo City with Yang Zhi.”

Luan Hong knew where her cousin had gone. Because Su Qing handed her the winery management before she left, Luan Hong was also very serious. She came to the winery early in the morning to make drinks, feeling happy that she could help her cousin.

“Why?”

Ji Shuisheng did not understand. Su Qing’s parents were in Mo City, so why was she going to Luo City?

“Cousin said to check on the situation over there.”

Luan Hong didn’t know why her cousin was going back. Luo City was very dangerous. She had even tried to persuade her cousin, but her cousin said she had to go back and look at the situation. She did not know the exact reason.

Ji Shuisheng left the winery a little dejectedly. He felt that there was an invisible gap between him and Su Qing.

In the past, no matter what Su Qing did, she would always tell him first, but now she left without saying goodbye.

Ji Shuisheng’s head hurt. He rubbed his temples with his hands, and his sweet times with Su Qing appeared in his mind.

Was Su Qing angry at him because he was busy reviving the Xiao Family Army and neglected her?

The more he couldn’t understand, the more his head hurt. Ji Shuisheng frowned and walked back. On the way, he met Qiu Yongkang. He was holding the account book and was here to check with Su Qing.

Seeing Ji Shuisheng’s worried face, Qiu Yongkang asked him with concern,

“Shuisheng, you don’t look too good. Are you feeling unwell?”

“No, where are you going?”

Ji Shuisheng shook his head. He didn’t want to talk about his relationship with Su Qing, so he asked Qiu Yongkang when he saw the account book in his hand.

“I’ll go look for Su Qing to settle the accounts. 1 calculated the accounts last night and asked Su Qing to see if anything was left behind.”

Qiu Yongkang raised the account book, and the image of Su Qing’s cold expression, when she said they would break up appeared again in Ji Shuisheng’s mind. It was as if she did not want to have anything to do with him anymore, and she was utterly business-like.

“Shuisheng?”

Qiu Yongkang saw Ji Shuisheng in a daze and called out to him. Ji Shuisheng came back to his senses and waved his hand.

“Su Qing isn’t here.”

“Then I’ll go look for her at home.”

Qiu Yongkang was walking towards the government office when he heard that but was stopped by Ji Shuisheng,

She went to Luo City.”

“You went to Luo City? This? What is she doing in Luo City? The matter between Zhizhou Luan and Second Master Su was very fierce. Luo City was now a dragon’s pool and a tiger’s den. How could a woman like her dare to barge in?”

Qiu Yongkang said worriedly. Ji Shuisheng’s heart was hanging in his throat.

“No, I have to go and take a look.”

Ji Shuisheng immediately decided to look for Su Qing. He could not let her go to such a dangerous place alone.

“You really can’t go. Qu Da sent a letter asking you to come.”

Qiu Yongkang stopped Ji Shuisheng. Qu Da was at the iron mine, so there must be something important he wanted Ji Shuisheng to do.

“Alright, I’ll go and look on the way.”

Ji Shuisheng nodded. He would go to the iron mine after confirming Su Qing’s safety. The first batch of weapons should be ready by now, and he could bring them back to equip the army.

“Alright, I’ll prepare some rations for you.”

Qiu Yongkang nodded and turned around to ready Ji Shuisheng. Ji Shuisheng went to the stable to pick a horse. In the past, he would ride Su Qing’s big black horse when he went out, but Su Qing had ridden the horse away, so he had to choose another horse.

In the stable were the Tartan horses Su Qing brought back yesterday. All of them were fat and strong, with bright eyes.

When Ji Shuisheng picked the horse, his thoughts drifted to the bits and pieces of his time with Su Qing. They kissed sweetly, and Su Qing leaned into his arms to listen to his heartbeat…

When she looked at him, her eyes were as gentle as water. However, her eyes were even colder yesterday than when she looked at others. When she looked at others, her eyes were cold.

Something that he knew about must have happened.

Ji Shuisheng was upset and confused, and Su Qing was not feeling well. She rode the big black horse and followed behind the flock of sheep. This time, she only brought Zhong Yong with her.

Zhong Yong was obedient and strong, able to fight ten people at once.

Su Qing wanted to open up the market for Jian Nanchun. This time, she had driven over a hundred fat sheep to Luo City to sell. There were also six carts of leather and a barrel of Jian Nanchun wine.

Moreover, although her parents were safe in Mo City, the Su family’s business was still in Luo City. Now, the butler was pretending to be her father and managing the business. She worried the butler would be in danger after saving Luan Zhizhou.

Although the butler was only a servant, he was loyal to his savior. Based on this point, Su Qing would not ignore him when he was in danger.

Xiao Qi knew that her Master was in a bad mood. She silently helped her Master with the work and looked at the disobedient sheep with Zhong Yong.

Yang Zhi was very confident with Su Qing as his escort. With her around, he was not afraid of any danger. She was the chivalrous girl who had single-handedly rescued Luan Zhizhou’s family and children in the heavily guarded Luo City.

Yang Zhi felt proud when he thought such an awe-inspiring chivalrous lady was his niece.

“Master, there’s an army ahead.”

Xiao Qi suddenly ran to Su Qing’s side and whispered to her. Su Qing was alerted. The army that came at this time was either from the Imperial Court or the Wan Clan Army.

She drove the sheep into the forest and pulled the carriage into the woods to reduce trouble. In order not to let the army outside discover them, she hid deep in the forest.

Ji Shuisheng also met the Wan Family Army on a narrow road. When the Wan Family Army saw that Ji Shuisheng was dressed like a Jianghu, they ignored him and continued.

Ji Shuisheng saw that they were heading toward Mo City. He was worried that something would happen there. Su Qing’s parents, brother, and children were all in Mo City. The Wan Family Army would find out if they went there.

Ji Shuisheng weighed the pros and cons. Su Qing could protect herself, but her parents and brother could not defend themselves. In the end, Ji Shuisheng decided to go back and look. After ensuring it was safe, he would chase after Su Qing.

He could run fast alone, and Su Qing and the others couldn’t run too fast with the sheep. He should be able to catch up with them before they reach Luo City.

Xiao Qi saw Ji Shuisheng on the screen and whispered to Su Qing,

“He’s here.”

In the past, Xiao Qi always called him the male owner, but he made Master sad, so Xiao Qi didn’t want to call him the male owner!

Su Qing raised her head and looked out of the dense forest. Her emotions were complicated. On the one hand, she could not bear to part with Ji Shuisheng’s feelings, but she could not work with another woman.

No matter how much she loved Ji Shuisheng, her pride would not allow her to compromise.

It would be better to cut off all ties of love and find a safe and prosperous city to bring her parents, far away from Mo City and Ji Shuisheng.

Su Qing had just made up her mind when he heard Xiao Qi say,

“He went back.”

Xiao Qi’s voice was filled with disappointment. How could the male owner do this? Why couldn’t he chase after her and coax her if her Master was unhappy?

Su Qing let out a long breath. It would be better if he left. He said to Yang Zhi resolutely,

“Let’s go!”

“Alright.”

Yang Zhi also felt that Su Qing was not in a good mood today. She did not want to talk and permanently lowered her head in deep thought.

As Su Qing walked towards Luo City, Ji Shuisheng followed closely behind the Wan Family Army and realized their target was Mo City.

Could it be that the spies in Mo City weren’t eliminated, and the matter of Uncle Su and the children in Mo City was exposed?
