“When I move in, I’ll invite you to my residence for a meal.”
Su Qing felt that it was impolite not to reciprocate. Without Chu Jingfeng’s help, she would not have been able to buy the house she liked so quickly. It was only fitting for her to treat him to a meal.
However, she was in a hurry to return and fetch her parents. She had to leave Mo City before Ji Shuisheng returned, so there was no time to waste.
“Alright, 1’11 wait for you. Don’t worry and go pick up your parents as soon as possible. 1’11 help you find someone to take care of this house.”
Chu Jingfeng did not hide his happiness and even offered to help Su Qing manage the manor.
Su Qing nodded.
“Thank you.”
She didn’t waste time and went to the courier station to settle the bill. She waited for the waiter to bring Big Black out and then hurried on.
While waiting for the waiter to go and fetch her, she saw Chu Jingfeng running over. His pink and tender face was more beautiful than a woman’s. His jade-like cheeks were also dyed red.
“Miss Su, I’ve prepared food and drink for you on the way.”
Chu Jingfeng panted as he handed Su Qing a water bag and a package. The package was filled with all kinds of snacks.
“You’re so thoughtful.”
Su Qing took the package and water bag and thanked Chu Jingfeng. However, Chu Jingfeng smiled happily like a child. “It’s nothing.”
Those sparkling eyes were like gems!
Su Qing looked away. She still had the same thought. Why was a man so beautiful?
The waiter brought Big Black over and carefully handed the reins to Su Qing, afraid that the female fiend would make things difficult for him again if he didn’t serve her well.
Su Qing tied the water bag to the horse’s back and jumped onto the horse with the bag on her back. Chu Jingfeng’s eyes lit up when he saw her bold appearance.
Su Qing bowed to him.
“Farewell.”
Without waiting for Chu Jingfeng to speak, Su Qing whipped Big Black and charged like an arrow. Chu Jingfeng looked at this woman who was like the wind, his eyes shining. She was too special.
Su Qing rushed to Mo City at top speed. By the time she reached the city, it was midnight, and the gates were already closed.
Su Qing looked up at the city wall, her voice exceptionally clear in the silent night.
“I’m Su Qing. I’ll have to trouble the brothers guarding the city to open the door.”
Under the moonlight, Su Qing sat on her horse in green clothes. Her elegant appearance and cold expression were familiar to everyone. Upon hearing that it was Su Qing, the city guards immediately leaned on the battlements and looked down.
Su Qing was like a god in the hearts of the soldiers. Although she was a woman, everyone’s admiration for her was no less than their admiration for General Xiao Heng.
Immediately, someone shouted to the guards at the city gate,
“Open the door.”
Su Qing watched as the city gate opened before her, and the suspension bridge fell. She felt a little reluctant to leave Mo City.
“Thank you, brothers.”
She cupped her fists at the city guards, raised her whip, and ran like a black arrow into the city.
The closer they were to the government office, the heavier Su Qing’s heart became. The familiar streets and roads were the first place she had lived in peace and contentment.
Su Hanxuan and the others had already fallen asleep. Su Qing didn’t want to wake her parents up, so she held Big Black’s hand and looked at the tall courtyard wall. Then, she held Big Black’s hand and went to the winery.
She had a soft chaise lounge in the winery. She wanted to rest there for the night and go home tomorrow morning. Usually, when she was tired from work, she would lie on it and sleep.
The winery was pitch-black, and the door to the courtyard was plugged in from the inside. It seemed that someone was living here.
Su Qing thought of the man who made the wine barrel and his family. Perhaps they worked during the day and slept in the winery at night.
She didn’t knock on the door and patted Black’s neck.
“Wait for me.”
Big Black snorted and nodded at its master like a human. Its big black eyes watched its master leave, and it was incredibly obedient.
Su Qing leaped onto the wall. The walls of the winery were all pierced with sharpened bamboo. Ordinary people would be stuck on the wall if they came up, but Su Qing stood on the tip of the bamboo as if he was standing on flat ground.
After Su Qing entered the courtyard, he opened the door and let Big Black in. She closed the door behind him. The door of the winery was locked. Su Qing had a key and gave the other key to Luan Hong.
Su Qing took the key and opened the door of the winery. She pushed the door open and looked into the room under the moonlight. Luan Hong kept the winery in order in the two days she had been away.
It seemed that handing over the winery management to Luan Hong was not wrong. This cousin was like a tomboy. She felt very modern and was not bound by the feudal concepts of this era.
Su Qing closed the door and walked into the room. She lay down on the soft mattress that she usually rested on. She was exhausted after running around for the past two days. She thought she could fall asleep as soon as she lay down, but her mind was thinking about all sorts of things.
She didn’t know when she fell asleep, but the knocking on the door woke her up.
Luan Hong came to the winery early in the morning. She took out the key to open the door but found that the lock on the door was gone. She pushed the door, but it didn’t open. Big Black snorted at her under the tree. She was instantly overjoyed and shouted into the house as she knocked on the door.
“Cousin, cousin, are you back?”
Su Qing got up and opened the door. Luan Hong jumped into the room like a happy little sparrow, smiling as brightly as a blooming flower.
“The winery is well maintained.”
Su Qing praised her cousin, and Luan Hong was instantly happy.
“I used my heart and ate in the winery. I was afraid that 1 would let cousin down.”
“Not bad.”
Su Qing praised her again, but her cousin pulled her into the wine cellar before she could finish.
“Cousin, look at these five barrels of wine. I mixed them. Try them, right?”
Luan Hong scooped wine from a wine spoon and brought it to her cousin’s mouth. Su Qing was amused. She looked at her eagerly, waiting for praise.
She took the wine spoon and tasted it. Under Luan Hong’s anxious gaze, she nodded.
“It’s good.”
“Right? 1 said it was the same as the wine you mixed, but Brother Qiu insisted it was different. Don’t you think he’s irritating?”
Luan Hong pouted and complained to Su Qing.
“Qiu Yongkang has been here for the past two days?”
Su Qing raised her eyebrows slightly. He rarely came over when she was around.
“Oh!”
Luan Hong nodded vigorously. Su Qing felt that something was wrong.
“Did you let him watch you mix the drinks?”
Su Qing suddenly asked Luan Hong. Luan Hong was stunned momentarily, and her eyes were a little erratic.
“So you’re mixing drinks in front of him?”
Su Qing saw her expression and knew what else she didn’t know. She didn’t know the dangers of the world and didn’t know business secrets. After all, she was a young miss.
“Remember to avoid people when you mix the wine. This is our family’s unique method of mixing wine.”
Su Qing warned her cousin with a severe expression. There were too many people with ulterior motives, and business secrets must be held in their hands.
“Got it.”
Luan Hong hurriedly nodded and lowered her head guiltily. Her two small hands, like white jade, were pinching back and forth uneasily, like a child who had done something wrong.
She had been hiding it from someone else, but she thought that Qiu Yongkang was one of them. He was as considerate as a big brother, so Luan Hong trusted him.
That was why she wasn’t on guard against him. Su Qing saw her cousin’s guilty and uneasy look and felt that she had said something a little too harsh, so she changed her tone and continued to ask,
“What kind of wine did you mix in front of Qiu Yongkang?”
