Chapter 341 - 341. Do You Hate Me?
Su Qing asked Luan Hong. Jian Nanchun faced the Great Xia Kingdom market, while the Drunken Overlord faced the Tartan Kingdom market. Although both markets were equally important, the sales of the Drunken Overlord were still guaranteed. The domestic market had yet to be opened. If Jian Nanchun were copied, it would be a massive loss for him.
“Drunken Overlord.”
Luan Hong told Su Qing with certainty that because she had to rush the order from Tartan, she had to work overtime to make Drunken Overlord. Moreover, she was unfamiliar with the recipe of Jian Nanchun and was afraid it would be a waste if she made the wrong recipe.
Su Qing heaved a sigh of relief. There was no need to worry about this. She was doing business with the Emperor and Prince of Tartan. Other than herself, the wine of others could not be sold in Tartan.
But after this incident, Su Qing felt that Qiu Yongkang was dishonest and wary of him.
Qiu Yongkang had never asked her about Qiu Yue’s death, nor did he show how much he hated her.
However, Su Qing felt that either Qiu Yongkang could put justice above family, or he would bury his hatred in his heart and take revenge when he could.
If it were the latter, Qiu Yongkang would be the most significant hidden danger.
Qiu Yongkang and Ji Shuisheng were like brothers. If Qiu Yongkang wanted to harm Ji Shuisheng, he would not be prepared.
Su Qing closed her eyes. Although she had already decided to leave, she still couldn’t help but worry about him.
“Luan Hong, go back and tell my parents and your parents to pack up. We’ll leave in the afternoon.”
Su Qing asked her cousin to go home and prepare to move. She then went to the yamen’s accounts office.
Now, Xing Ruhai was temporarily pretending to be the Zhizhou of the City of Mo, and Qiu Yongkang was pretending to be the former accountant of the yamen. Su Qing could find him here.
When Su Qing arrived, he saw Qiu Yongkang reading a book. He was so focused that he overlooked Su Qing.
“Yongkang.”
Su Qing shouted. Qiu Yongkang quickly put down his book and stood up to greet her,”
Su Qing, you’re back.”
“Yes, I’m back.”
Su Qing looked at the case and saw Qiu Yongkang reading Spring and Autumn Annals. Su Qing asked,
“Are you going to participate in the Fall Quarter Examinations?”
“I do have this plan.”
Qiu Yongkang smiled and nodded. He had always wanted to rule the world with Shuisheng, and now he was taking the first step toward this goal.
“Ambition is great.”
Su Qing nodded and looked at Qiu Yongkang, who was smiling gently,
“I killed your sister. Do you hate me?”
Qiu Yongkang didn’t expect Su Qing to be so direct, and his expression froze. Su Qing nodded,
“It seems like you still have some resentment. After all, Qiu Yue is your biological sister.”
“No, why would 1 hate Miss Su? The situation was urgent then, and I almost hanged Qiu Yue.”
Qiu Yongkang had already returned to normal. Although his eyes were sad, he said he did not blame Su Qing.
“I’m leaving. If you hate me, you can take revenge on me when you can.”
Su Qing looked into Qiu Yongkang’s eyes. His eyes were not as calm as they appeared. Su Qing caught the hatred in his eyes. She deliberately said that to make Qiu Yongkang direct all his hostility towards her and not hate Ji Shuisheng.
“Miss Su, you’re too kind. I treat you as a friend, so why would 1 seek revenge on you?”
Qiu Yongkang didn’t expect Su Qing to say this and immediately waved his hand to explain.
“I hope you’re telling the truth. If you’re still the Yongkang from before, 1’11 treat you as a friend.”
Su Qing nodded at Qiu Yongkang, hoping that she had misunderstood him. After all, they had gone through so many hardships and dangers, and she did not want Yongkang to become an enemy.
“Where are you going?”
Qiu Yongkang’s eyes flashed when he heard Su Qing’s words. He cupped his fists and bowed deeply before standing up and asking.
“To the place you want to go. I’ll take two coal carts and leave you six sheep as coal payment.”
Su Qing didn’t tell him where she was going? I don’t want to say to him 1 have a better plan.
“Alright, have a safe trip.”
Qiu Yongkang took a deep breath. If they never met again, he might be able to let go of the knot in his heart.
Su Qing went to the backyard when she exited the accountant’s room. The house was in a mess.
Yang Ruxue and Yang Rubing didn’t want to throw anything away. They wanted to bring it with them, afraid they would have to start again if they went to a new place.
Did she only realize that her family needed so many things after being homeless once? When it was time to use it, they would be angry if they could not find it.
When Su Qing returned and saw it, she smiled.
“Aunt, Mother, I’ve already bought a house, and I don’t lack anything. You need to bring your clothes and nothing else.”
“That won’t do. How wasteful would it be not to bring this high-quality leather?”
Yang Rubing was reluctant to put down the white fox’s skin.
“Pick the expensive ones and the things you like. You guys pack up first. I’ll go and load the winery.”
Su Qing could have stayed one more day to send the wine to Tartan before moving, but she was afraid that they wouldn’t be able to leave if Shuisheng came back, so she decided to take the wine to Jingshi Dao first and then go to Ta City from there.
It would take more than ten carriages with the wine and the wine barrels, plus the family. Su Qing had enough carriages since she often traveled the trade route.
She asked Uncle Yang and the bodyguards to help load the wine. Su Qing had specially modified the carriage to transport wine and sheep.
Su Qing asked for two carts of coal that had just been shipped back yesterday. Li Laoqi personally rushed over. When he saw that Su Qing had already packed the wine, he could not help but ask,
“Su Qing, are you going to Tartan to sell wine? Why are you only pulling two carts of coal? We have six carts!”
“I have a use for it.”
Su Qing didn’t tell Li Laoqi where she was going. It just happened that Yang Ruxue, Su Hanxuan, and the others had also finished packing up and were rushing to meet Su Qing.
Old Seventh Li could tell that something was wrong. He pulled Su Qing and asked,
“Su Qing, are you moving out?”
“Yes, it’s unsafe for Father and Mother to stay here. I’ll send them to a safe place.”
Su Qing nodded. Li Laoqi’s eyes were filled with reluctance.
“Where are you going? It’s chaotic outside. Can’t I protect your parents?”
“There’s no banquet in the world that doesn’t end.”
Su Qing felt terrible. She had decided to protect these people, but now she had abandoned them.
“Sister, where are you going?”
When Ji Xiaoying got the letter, she ran to the winery to look for Su Qing. She heard Su Qing and Li Laoqi’s conversation when she entered the door. Tears instantly fell, and she held onto Su Qing, refusing to let go.
“Xiaoying, don’t be too kind in the future. Leave a bit of your edge, and don’t trust others too much. You have to know how to protect yourself.”
Su Qing touched Xiaoying’s face reluctantly. She had always treated Xiaoying as her biological sister. She was about to part with her soon, so she was reluctant to do so.
“Don’t go, Sister Su Qing. Don’t go.”
Xiaoying was crying so hard that she couldn’t stop crying. She hugged Su Qing and refused to let go.
“I will come back to see you, but 1 will send my parents to a safe place first.”
Su Qing helped Xiaoying wipe away her tears. Her eyes were also wet. She told Xiaoying a white lie.
“Can you wait for my big brother to return before leaving?”
