Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Could it be that Su Qing had already made a private engagement with someone else after leaving for a few days? Why were their two daughters so rebellious?

When the soldiers on the city wall heard Su Qing’s words, they leaned on the battlements and looked down. They saw a beautiful woman sitting in front of the carriage. She was brave and different from the others, like a majestic female general.

This temperament was not to be underestimated. The captain of the city guard quickly shouted at her,

“Miss, please wait a moment. We will go and invite the Young Master over.”

Ji Shuisheng took the military symbol to Jingshi Dao to recruit; Yan Shikuan led all the soldiers to submit; the soldiers naturally knew who the young master was.

Although he had never heard that the young master had made a marriage order, since this girl dared to mention his name, she naturally had her reasons. Therefore, the lieutenant was very polite to Su Qing.

However, despite their politeness, they did not immediately open the city gates. Yan Shikuan’s military discipline was strict, and the soldiers would not open the city gates without an order.

Su Qing had no choice but to wait outside the city walls. She had to endure her temper.

After all, the soldiers obeyed orders, so they could only praise them.

Yang Ruxue lifted the curtain and called out to her daughter carefully,

“Qing’er, what did you say just now?”

“Mother, Ji Shuisheng’s real name is Xiao Zeyu. He is the son of the late General Xiao Heng and also the fiance that my father had arranged for me.”

Su Qing briefly introduced Ji Shuisheng’s real name and ident.i.ty. Yang Ruxue couldn’t believe it, as if she had heard a fantasy.

How could there be such a coincidence?

Could it be that her daughter made it up to be with Ji Shuisheng?

“Ji Shuisheng is the son of General Xiao Heng?”

Yang Rubing asked Su Qing in shock. Everyone in the Great Xia Kingdom knew about General Xiao Heng. He was a great hero that everyone admired and a sad general that everyone pitied. His death left the commoners brooding over it.

Her old master greatly admired General Xiao Heng and felt sorry for him for being harmed by a traitor. He had told her several times privately that if General Xiao Heng had not died, which country would dare to invade the Great Xia Kingdom?

Yang Rubing had often heard of this tragic general and had a deep impression of him.

“Yes.”

Su Qing nodded. He was pretty proud to have such a father-in-law.

“What a coincidence, what a coincidence.”

Yang Ruxue still couldn’t believe it and repeated in a low voice.

Yang Rubing seemed to have found her savior. Since Ji Shuisheng was the young master of the Thorn Rock Sect, he would be able to save Luan Hong.

She looked at Su Qing with hope.

“Qing’er, help your aunt beg your fiance to help her find Luan Hong.”

“Aunt, don’t worry. Shuisheng is already searching. He was the one who ordered the city gates to be closed.”

Su Qing gave her aunt a peace of mind pill and told her about Ji Shuisheng and his men looking for Luan Hong.

“Amitabha.”

Yang Rubing put her hands together and chanted Buddha repeatedly. Tears welled up in her eyes. She only hoped to find her daughter as soon as possible, never letting her show her face in public again.

Luan Hong’s two kidnappings had already scared the mentally strong Yang Rubing.

Ji Shuisheng was leading his troops to search for Luan Hong door to door when a soldier came to report,

“Reporting to the young lord, there is a woman outside the south gate who claims to be the young lord’s wife and is driving a carriage into the city.”

“Let her in.”

Ji Shuisheng knew it was Su Qing and immediately let the soldiers pa.s.s her. He arranged for people to continue searching while he went to the south gate to pick Su Qing up.

By the time Ji Shuisheng arrived at the south gate, Su Qing had already entered the city in a carriage. He quickly rode his horse to welcome her and called out to her in a clear voice,

“Qing’er, have you found her?”

“Shuisheng, have you found her?”

The two of them came out almost at the same time. Ji Shuisheng saw that Su Qing had not found Luan Hong, and Su Qing also understood that Ji Shuisheng had not found her.

When Yang Rubing heard their conversation, she hurriedly pulled open the curtain and saw Ji Shuisheng riding valiantly on the horse. She quickly asked, “You didn’t find Luan Hong?”

“Yes, don’t worry, we’re looking for her.”

Seeing that it was Yang Rubing, Ji Shuisheng hurriedly comforted her.

“I’ll leave Aunt to you.”

Yang Rubing suppressed the anxiety in her heart, but her teary eyes still revealed her concern. Ji Shuisheng nodded.

“Don’t worry; I will try to find Miss Luan.”

“Thank you.”

Yang Rubing thanked Ji Shuisheng gratefully. His current status was not simple. He was someone her family could not afford. Only Su Qing and he were engaged. Otherwise, they might not even have the right to talk to him.

Su Qing told Ji Shuisheng,

“I’ll send Mother and Aunt back first. 1’11 look for you later.”

“Okay, I’m at South Street.”

Ji Shuisheng nodded and pointed in the direction of the south street. He, Yan Shikuan, and the two deputies led their teams to look for the person. He was in charge of the south street.

Su Qing nodded to show she understood and returned to see her mother and aunt.

This time, she still had things to do when she went back. She could not leave any of the servants in the Su residence alive. She had to lock them up for interrogation. Even if they were not suspicious, they had to be sold.

Su Qing sent her mother and aunt back to the manor and asked Yang Zhi to bring his bodyguards to arrest all the servants. Su Hanxuan did not know what had happened, but when he saw his daughter’s cold expression, he knew that the matter was serious and did not stop her.

Yang Zhi knew that Su Qing would not do this without a specific reason, so he did not hesitate to take the bodyguards to arrest all the maids and servants.

The Su residence was in a mess. The servants cried and screamed. One after another, they confessed their innocence.

“Uncle Yang, it’s been hard on you and the other escorts. You must protect my parents and aunt.”

Su Qing asked Yang Zhi for help. She still had important things to do and had to ensure their safety.

As soon as she finished speaking before Yang Zhi could agree, the army sent by Ji Shuisheng arrived. With the well-trained Xiao Family Army, Su Qing could leave without worry.

“Father, I’ll go find Luan Hong.”

Su Qing told her father, and Su Hanxuan worriedly said,

“Be careful.”

“I know.”

” Yes.” Su Qing nodded. She saw Xiao Qi looking at her with wide eyes. She waved at Xiao Qi. “Xiao Qi, come with me.”

With the Xiao family’s army, the Su residence was impregnable. There was no need to leave Xiao Qi here.

She would save people; with Xiao Qi around, it would be twice the result with half the effort.

When Xiao Qi saw her master calling her, she was so happy that her eyes lit up. She happily ran to Su Qing’s side and looked at her with sparkling eyes. She started to flatter her.

“Xiao Qi is so happy to be with Master!”

H H

Su Qing knocked on its little head. “Don’t flatter me.”

After Su Qing left with Xiao Qi, Yang Ruxue told her husband about Ji Shuisheng’s true ident.i.ty.

“He’s Qing’er’s fiance?”

Su Hanxuan was shocked by this news. His expression was the same as his wife’s. He couldn’t believe such a coincidence.

Su Qing didn’t know how shocked Su Hanxuan was, but she brought Xiao Qi to meet with Ji Shuisheng.

As soon as they arrived at South Street, they saw a soldier holding an envelope pierced by an arrow and talking to Ji Shuisheng.

Su Qing jumped off the horse’s back and threw the reins onto the horse’s back. He strode over and asked Ji Shuisheng,

“Shuisheng, what did the letter say?”
