After Her Divorce, She Escaped With A Strong Man To Farm

94 Chapter

“To make riding boots.”

Su Qing lowered her head to work and answered casually. When Ji Shuisheng heard this, he couldn’t help but turn to look at her. Did she know how to make riding boots? Was there anything she couldn’t do?

Today’s meal opened Ji Shuisheng’s eyes. In the past, he often went hunting and returned home. His foster father did not know how to cook, so he joined the Qiu family. The village considered Aunt Qiu’s cooking reasonable, but it was like heaven and earth compared to Su Qing.

The taste was even different. Su Qing’s braised pork melted in his mouth and wasn’t greasy. The tiger skin pig trotter she made was so mushy that the bones were removed. Even after eating it, the fragrance still lingered in his mouth. Also, were those pigs so delicious when they were cooked in water?

In the past, they would throw away these pig intestines and stomachs and not eat them. It was a waste of such heavenly gifts. Ji Shuisheng could not help but take a few more glances at Su Qing. When he saw that she was focused on cutting the horse’s hide, he retracted his gaze and focused on driving the carriage.

Su Qing cut the shoes according to the drawing and started sewing them. She had bought an awl in Jin City. The leather was stiff, so she had to prick it with the awl before sewing it with a thread. The sole of the shoe had to be sewn thicker so as not to wear out. It was the same principle as making shoes.

At the start, Ji Xiaoying could still seriously learn how to make shoes, but as the carriage shook, the little girl’s eyelids could not help but stick together, and her head bobbed up and down before she fell asleep.

Su Qing was worried that she would feel uncomfortable sleeping like this, so she leaned Xiaoying’s head on her shoulder and let her sleep comfortably.

Ji Shuisheng saw Su Qing’s actions again. He was very touched. Su Qing treated Xiaoying better than a biological sister. In the future, when he wants revenge, he can rest assured and leave Xiaoying in her hands.

The team moved forward slowly and left Tiegang mountain before dark. Outside of Tiegang mountain was a plain. Because of the drought, there was no green grassland, only withered grass.

“We’ll rest here tonight. Don’t go too far.”

Ji Shuisheng felt this was an excellent place to set up camp, so he stopped the carriage and turned back to shout.

As the villagers prepared to rest, Wan Yulin rushed to Guo City to see his dead brother, Wan Yufeng.

He saw his younger brother’s heart being dug out, the tendons in his hands and feet cut off, his tongue cut off, and his eyes gouged out. His death was terrifying.

Wan Yulin gripped the handle of his sword tightly, his face as dark as the sky before a storm. The county Office was covered in dark clouds as if it had entered a world of ice and snow. Everyone was as silent as cicadas in winter, and the county magistrate of Guo City, Qiu Churen, was trembling in fear.

However, when the Imperial envoy was killed, it was already difficult for him to escape being removed from his position. He was afraid that not only would he lose his black veil, but he would also lose his little life. What’s more, the one who died was Prime Minister Wan’s most beloved fourth son.

“How did he go to Cuixiang tower?”

Wan Yulin’s dark eyes looked at Qiu Churen. His fourth brother was killed at Cuixiang brothel. If the Imperial envoy went to a brothel and the Emperor found out, he would be beheaded. His brother wouldn’t have died if he didn’t go to the Cuixiang brothel. Wan Yulin looked at Qiu Churen like a cold knife, wanting to punish him by dismembering him.

“It was the Wan Imperial envoy who wanted to be demoted … This lowly official will …”

As Qiu Churen stammered, he secretly observed Wan Yulin’s expression. When he saw Wan Yulin’s sinister eyes looking at him, Qiu Churen did not dare to continue, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

“Ah!”

Just as Qiu Churen lifted his sleeve to wipe his cold sweat, Wan Yulin kicked him away. Wan Yulin had been practicing martial arts all year round and could break a tree trunk as thick as the mouth of a bowl with a kick. How could Qiu Churen, whose body had been hollowed out by wine and women, withstand the force of this kick when he was in a rage? He fell to the ground, and his limbs twitched. He spat out blood and soon died.

“General, please calm your anger.”

Wan Yulin’s military counselor, Lu Yue, hurriedly tried to persuade him. Wan Yulin looked at him with a dark face, and his voice was filled with boundless anger,

“My brother died a tragic death. How do you expect me to calm down? ”

“The fourth master’s tragic death should make the general calm down. To be so unjust to fourth master, the other party must hate the Wan family to the core. Who dared to treat the Wan family like this for the past ten years? Who do you think would hate the Wan family?”

The military advisor Lu Yue’s words were like a bucket of cold water that doused Wan Yulin’s anger. He squinted his eyes and squeezed out four words from between his teeth,

“A remnant of the Xiao family.”

“By the time I’ve counted, that little brat who escaped from the Xiao clan should be nineteen years old.”

Lu Yue stopped there and let the general think about it.

“Come on, bring all the people related to that day to the court. I want to interrogate them personally.”

Wan Yulin’s expression was grave. The escaped brat from the Xiao family had always been a big problem for him.

That night, the screams at the government office of Guo city were endless, and the residents nearby were so scared that they didn’t dare to sleep the whole night.

Wan Yulin was holding a portrait in his hand. This was a portrait he had drawn himself based on his memory. The girls and Procuress of the Cuixiang brothel had been brought to the manor and asked to recognize the man in the portrait.

It was a man with unparalleled beauty, a heroic spirit between his brows, and eyes like stars. He held a sword hilt and stood straight on the painting.

“Have you seen this man before?”

Wan Yulin had asked this question countless times but didn’t seem tired. His eyes were as sharp as an Eagle’s, and the girls below were trembling.

“No, I haven’t!”

“I’ve never seen him before!”

“I’ve never seen him before!”

Wan Yulin slammed the table and stood up, grabbing the portrait and crushing it into a ball. His eagle eyes were so sinister that it looked like he would tear someone apart.

The girls of the Cuixiang brothel were so frightened that they burst into tears. They hugged each other and shivered as they looked at the furious Wan Yulin.

“General.”

Lu Yue persuaded Wan Yulin,

“General, please calm down. The more impatient you are, the easier it is for you to overlook the details.”

Wan Yulin took a deep breath and suppressed the anxiety in his heart, then asked in a deep voice,

“Back then, Chen Jingxiang escaped with the remnants of the Xiao family and fell off the cliff while being pursued. Where does that river lead to? ” contemporary romance

“That river is connected in all directions and passes through Jin City.”

Lu Yue cupped his fists and replied.

“Find someone to draw out all the cities and villages the river flows to.”

Wan Yulin clenched his fists, his eyes as sharp as blades.

‘Little brat of the Xiao family, I’ve let you live for 16 more years, yet you dare to come out and seek revenge instead of finding a place to struggle on while at death’s door. Fine, I’ll send you to meet your dead parents.’

“General, it’s hot, and the road is long. We have to hurry up and send the fourth Lord back to the capital so that he can rest in peace.”

Lu Yue then brought up the essential matter. Although the corpses on myriad universe peaks were frozen in ice, it was hot in summer, and ice was not a long-term solution. Now, they could already smell the stench of corpses, and they would probably rot in a few days.

...

Upon hearing Lu Yue’s words, Wan Yulin took a deep breath. This time, he would bring his brother back to the capital. It seemed that the murderer of his brother would not be found in a day or two. He still had important things to do and could not afford to waste time.

” Lu Yue, you will stay here and continue your investigation. I’ll send Fourth brother back to the capital.”

“Yes, I will do my best to find the murderer of Fourth Lord to comfort his soul in heaven.”

Wan Yulin brought his fourth brother’s coffin back to the capital. When he arrived in Jin City and checked into the courier station, he heard explosive news.
