Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Old Master Qiu’s status was unique. He was the leader of the Peach Blossom Cove. Strictly speaking, he was Xiao Zeyu and Xiaoying’s benefactor. If he hadn’t said that he would take them in, Bai Jiuxiang would have had to continue fleeing with the siblings and wouldn’t have been able to settle down.

Because of this small amount of kindness, Xiao Zeyu had to catch them red-handed. He had to seize the opportunity to deal with Big Father Qiu and Big Aunt Qiu, leaving Old Master Qiu blameless.

Everything had been planned. He had deliberately leaked Su Qing’s whereabouts and created a tense atmosphere. He had said that no one would leave. He had wanted Auntie Qiu to believe that Su Qing was seriously injured and even allowed her to go home and report.

Xiao Zeyu had already sent a good individual, so he waited for Aunt Qiu and Father Qiu to enter the trap.

However, he didn’t expect Xiaoying to suddenly go to the Qiu family and disrupt Xiao Zeyu’s plans.

Xiaoying ran into the government office and grabbed the guard, asking, “Where’s my big brother?”

“Young Master hasn’t returned yet!”

The sentry saw the young lady’s anxious face and quickly answered.

“What? Do you know where he is?”

When Xiaoying heard that her big brother had not returned, she stomped her feet anxiously and asked about the whereabouts of her big brother.

“Young Master didn’t say.”

The sentry looked helpless. Seeing the young miss so anxious, something must be important, but the young master’s whereabouts would not be explained to a sentry!

“Xiaoying.”

Just as Xiaoying was about to run over to ask Cheng Yu, Xiao Zeyu walked in from outside the door. He called out to his sister and pulled her into the inner courtyard.

When Xiaoying saw that it was Big Brother, she dragged her body and refused to follow him. She even wanted to pull Big Brother out of the door. “Big brother, Qiu Da…”

She had just said a word when Xiao Zeyu pressed her mute acupoint. Xiaoying stared at her big brother with her mouth agape, her big, watery eyes filled with shock.

What was Big Brother doing? Why didn’t he let her talk?

Xiao Zeyu lowered his voice and said to Xiaoying, “Follow me.”

When Xiaoying heard her brother’s words and saw his serious expression, she seemed to understand. She no longer struggled and obediently followed her brother into the inner courtyard.

Xiao Zeyu pulled his sister into the living room before unsealing her mute acupoint. When Xiaoying could make a sound, she immediately asked her brother,” Big brother, why didn’t you let me speak?”

“Are you talking about Auntie Qiu? If that’s the case, there’s no need to say it. 1 know everything. What you need to do is cooperate with us…”

Xiao Zeyu waved his hand to stop his sister from asking more questions. He lowered his voice and told his sister his plan.

Xiaoying didn’t expect her big brother to know about Auntie Qiu’s matter. She almost ruined her big brother’s plan. After hearing her big brother’s plan, she immediately nodded.

“Alright, 1’11 cooperate.”

“Not bad.”

Xiao Zeyu praised Xiaoying. His sister’s reaction today was immensely satisfying. She was intelligent and quick-witted. She knew how to avoid disaster and protect herself and Auntie Li at the critical moment.

Xiaoying’s eyes sparkled as she looked at her big brother. She was very proud to be praised, but when she thought of what Aunt Qiu and Father Qiu had done, Xiaoying felt very sad.

She used to treat Auntie Qiu as her mother and had followed her around since she was young. Auntie Qiu was also very good to her. Xiaoying could not take the blow of suddenly becoming enemies.

Thinking of what she had heard from Father Qiu, Xiaoying couldn’t help but ask her brother/

“Big brother, I heard from Uncle Qiu that sister Su Qing killed sister Qiu Yue. Is that true?”

“Qiu Yue wanted to tell on us. Your Sister Su Qing had already warned her, but she still insisted on doing so. For the safety of the entire village, she had to kill her.”

Xiao Zeyu didn’t hide it from his sister. She knew he would tell the truth, but he explained the whole story.

“Sister Qiu Yue, why are you trying to suppress me?”

Xiaoying couldn’t understand why the gentle Qiu Yue would do something that would harm the entire village.

Suddenly, she raised her head and looked at her brother. Her eyes were fixed as if she had understood everything.

“Big brother, Sister Qiu Yue likes you. It’s because of you.”

“Hmph, that’s not why she harmed the entire village. Love can’t be forced. How could the siblings not understand this?”

Xiao Zeyu’s face was as dark as water. The Qiu siblings were all the same. If they liked someone, they had to like them. If not, they would kill someone. This was a perverted possessiveness, not love.

Xiaoying also lost her godmother. Big Brother Qiu also said that it was for her. Could it be? Xiaoying looked at her brother and implored him.

“Big Brother, did Big Brother Qiu think that Big Brother Zhong and I are getting engaged because I’m staying at the godmother’s house?”

“Maybe that’s the case, but it’s also possible that Qiu Yongkang colluded with the Wan family long ago. Godmother discovered he colluded with the enemy, so he killed her to silence her.”

Hearing his sister’s words, Xiao Zeyu also felt that this was a possibility, but he thought it was more likely that his godmother had discovered that Qiu Yongkang was a traitor.

“Let’s not talk about this. Let’s go to the Qiu Family.”

Xiao Zeyu didn’t let his sister continue asking questions and pulled her out. The siblings rehearsed their lines on the way, how to make the Qiu family believe that they still didn’t know that they were traitors.

Qiu family

Father Qiu followed the soldiers and the military doctor home. Along the way, he seemed to have lost his soul. His mind was blank. He could not escape even if he wanted to.

He brought the military doctor into the house and found that his wife had already sat up. Her face was pale as if sick, but Father Qiu knew she was just as scared as he was.

Wealth and honor came from danger. He wanted to bring glory to his ancestors. His son walked the path of light. He would be a traitor if he were to be with Xiao Zeyu. Sooner or later, his entire family would be destroyed.

He did not regret this, but he regretted not completing the task his son had given him. He did not have the chance to see him become a dignitary, enter the court as an official, and change the status of the Qiu family.

Auntie Qiu saw that her husband had returned on his own. Xiaoying’s disappearance was enough to scare her, and two soldiers were with him. She was so scared that her hands and feet turned cold. She could not speak, and she held her heart, unable to breathe.

There was no need to pretend to be sick. When the military doctor took Aunt Qiu’s pulse, he found her heartbeat too fast. This was a severe illness! He carefully checked her pulse with a solemn expression.

Father Qiu wanted to chase these people away. Seeing that the military doctor was not saying anything even after taking her pulse, he asked anxiously, “Doctor, what’s wrong?”

“Heart palpitations. It’s effortless to die from this illness. You can’t make the patient emotional, afraid, or angry.”

After the military doctor finished taking the pulse, he said to her husband with certainty and instructed him to take note of the things he needed to pay attention to.

“All?”

Father Qiu cursed the quack in his heart. How could this old woman have any heart palpitations? What nonsense.

However, he could not expose the military doctor now—the more serious he spoke, the better.

“I’ll prescribe three doses of medicine for you. If you don’t get better after taking them, it’s useless to look for me. Then only Su Qing can treat you.”

The military doctor said to Father Qiu as he gave the prescription. Father Qiu humphed and agreed, “Alright, thank you. You guys go ahead and do your work. I’ll go get her some medicine.”

“Don’t eat spicy food before breakfast and after dinner.”

First Father Qiu almost pushed The military doctor out of the room. He hadn’t even finished his instructions!

First Father Qiu had just pushed the doctor out of the room when he saw Xiao Zeyu walking in with Xiaoying. His face turned pale as paper, and his legs limped as he knelt on the ground..
