When the fire stopped, Xiao Zeyu returned to the government office. He strolled along the way. The scenes before him replayed the time at the Peach Blossom Cove. He couldn’t go back anymore.
He had already caught First Father, so there was no need to pretend to be seriously injured. It was her and Xiao Zeyu’s plan to catch him red-handed.
Li Shuang’er and Xiaoying’s eyes widened in shock when they saw Su Qing sitting in high spirits and even removing the gauze around her head.
Xiaoying still didn’t know that Sister Su Qing was pretending to be seriously injured. When she found out the truth, she cried.
“Sister Su Qing, do you know how worried I was?”
“I know.”
Su Qing rubbed Xiaoying’s head, her voice apologetic.
She didn’t dare to tell her because she was afraid that Xiaoying would give her away and be suspected by Auntie Qiu.
“Sister Su Qing, why are you pretending to be injured?”
Li Shuang’er couldn’t understand. Why was she pretending? She had been worried and cried for nothing.
“To catch the traitor.”
Xiao Zeyu answered on behalf of Su Qing. He walked into the house covered in snow, his face as pale as snow, and his mood was still very low.
“Who is the traitor?”
Li Shuang’er seemed to understand, but she was unwilling to believe it.
“You can go back and help take care of Auntie Qiu.”
Xiao Zeyu didn’t answer her question; instead, he sent troops to escort her back.
“What happened to Auntie Qiu?”
Xiaoying entreated her brother. Xiao Zeyu pulled her back.
“Don’t go; you’ve been too prominent.”
“What happened?”
Xiaoying felt very uncomfortable and grabbed her brother’s hand.
“Her house was on fire. Old Master Qiu was burned to death, and Aunt Qiu was seriously injured.”
Xiao Zeyu sighed and told his sister what had happened at the Qiu family home. When Li Shuang’er heard that the Qiu family home was on fire, she ran home anxiously.
Their two families were close to each other. If the Qiu family were on fire, her family would also be involved.
“I’m going to go and see her in the middle of the trouble.”
Xiaoying struggled free from her brother’s hand and followed Li Shuang’er into the snowstorm.
Su Qing’s face was cold. She hadn’t even made a move yet, and this family had already suffered retribution.
“Qing’er.”
Xiao Zeyu stretched out his arms and pulled Su Qing into his embrace. He kissed her black hair and quietly hugged her, feeling Su Qing’s heartbeat and seeking comfort in his heart.
He was very sad to see Old Master Qiu die. He had yet to cultivate his bones of steel and his heart of stone.
“How do you plan to deal with them?”
Su Qing could feel Xiao Zeyu’s pain and knew it was difficult for him to decide.
“I can’t bear to kill them, but I can’t let them go.”
Xiao Zeyu sighed after a long time. Su Qing lifted her head from his embrace and looked at him calmly.
“Then let me kill them.”
Su Qing would never let anyone who wanted to harm her go. Since he was her enemy, she had to be ruthless to her enemies. Otherwise, there would be future troubles if she did not decide.

Xiao Zeyu couldn’t answer Su Qing. He knew Su Qing’s personality too well. He wouldn’t be able to stop anyone she wanted to kill.
He closed his eyes and said with difficulty.
“Qing’er, do you have any medicine that can erase their memories? Make them harmless.”
“No, I haven’t.”
Su Qing’s answer was firm and decisive. There was, but she would not let those who wanted to kill her live. Old Master Qiu had to die.
“Tomorrow, you can go to Tartar to deliver the goods. At the same time, you can talk to Yeluchun about the debt he owes us.”
Su Qing saw that Xiao Zeyu couldn’t bear to see Aunt Qiu and Father Qiu die, so she suggested sending him to Tartan to deliver the goods.
Out of sight, out of mind!
“Qing’er.”
Xiao Zeyu hugged Su Qing tightly in his arms. She was thinking for herself and did not want him to bear the blame.
What else can a husband ask for when he has such a wife?
That night, Uncle Qiu was still fantasizing that his father would plead for him and that Shuisheng would still spare his life.
The following day, Ji Shuisheng took Zhong Yong to Tartan to deliver coal. Not long after he left, Su Qing arrived at the dungeon.
When Qiu’s father saw Su Qing standing in front of him unharmed, his eyes widened in shock. He suddenly realized that he had been fooled. He pointed at Su Qing and said,
“You… You… You’re so cunning.”
“How do you want to die?”
Su Qing looked at Father Qiu expressionlessly and turned a deaf ear to his words. His voice was emotionless, so cold that it made Father Qiu afraid.
“Don’t kill me, don’t kill me. Where’s Shuisheng? I want to see Shuisheng.”
Understanding Su Qing’s intentions, Qiu’s father screamed in fear. Only Shuisheng could control this terrifying female devil, and only Shuisheng could save his life.
“… Without me, the people of Peach Blossom Cove would have died eight times. 1 saved you, but you colluded with the imperial court to harm me? If 1 want to kill you, no one can protect you.”
Su Qing’s eyes were like ice as she looked at him. What was the use of keeping something a family didn’t know how to be grateful for?
First Father Qiu trembled as he looked at Su Qing. He knew very well how ruthless this female devil was. He thought about how he was about to die, how he would not be able to see his son succeed, how he would not be able to avenge his daughter, how he would not be able to support his father in his old age, how he would not be able to have a grandson, and how he would not be able to enjoy a good life…
Father Qiu’s eyes were filled with unwillingness. If he wanted to live and keep his name, he had to beg this female devil. After weighing the pros and cons, he knelt before Su Qing and slapped himself.
“I’m old and muddle-headed, an adult who doesn’t remember my mistakes. Forgive me. I’ll do anything as long as you spare my life.”
It could be said that First Father Qiu was flexible. To survive, he did not hesitate to kneel to his enemies.
However, the more such a person was, the more she couldn’t let him go. A man had gold on his knees. He was kneeling now to live. He would bite Su Qing to death without hesitation if there were a chance.
Su Qing would not give him a chance. She looked coldly at Father Qiu, who was slapping himself, and said something that made him despair.
“I will use you as an example to the others.”
Su Qing wanted to execute Father Qiu before everyone in Peach Blossom Cove. Don’t let them think that he has a trump card just because he’s Xiao Zeyu’s fellow countryman. Anyone who betrays her must die.
“You vicious woman, I’ll fight you to the death.”
Hearing that Su Qing would execute him publicly, First Father Qiu no longer had the pitiful look of begging for mercy. He jumped up with a fierce look in his eyes and stretched out his talon-like hand to strangle Su Qing’s neck.
With such a surprise, he should be able to kill this she-devil to avenge his daughter.
In the face of absolute strength, any resistance was futile. Su Qing kicked out, and Qiu’s father flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashing into the wall of the dungeon and landing heavily.
How could his old arms and legs withstand Su Qing’s kick? Several ribs were broken, and he spat a mouthful of blood.
Su Qing didn’t even look at him and went out to prepare for the public execution. She ordered the soldiers to call the villagers of Peach Blossom Cove and all the people of Mo City to the crossroads. She took the drumstick and beat the Soul Severing Drum with a cold expression. The drumming made people panic. No one knew what had happened. Looking at Su Qing’s face, they felt the matter was not small.
Su Qing threw away the drumstick an hour later and ordered the soldiers to bring First Father Qiu over.
Su Qing’s cold voice was filled with a chilling chill, like the north wind whistling into everyone’s ears..
