Looking at the chicken soup that had been taken away from the pot as soon as it was cooked, Lin Suisui sighed and raised her hand to cover her face before saying, “I forgot to say that we should ask Qian He to send the sand pot over later.”
At this moment, they only had this sand jar in their hands. If they wanted to make soup again, they wouldn’t have anything to store it!
Lu Ze was still thinking about how to explain to Lin Suisui what Pei Qian had just said. Lin Suisui’s lament made him laugh. “Alright, I’ll go and get that sand jar for you personally.”
Lu Ze still didn’t intend to hide it from Lin Suisui. However, just as he walked over and sat down beside her, he heard Lin Suisui say, “Actually, I guessed it in the restaurant when you said you were going out.”
There were four people following us at that time. I found an opportunity to sneak a glance. Although three of them were wearing our empire’s clothes, their northern barbarian appearance couldn’t be hidden.
At that time, I thought that it might be related to the Wolf Guard in our camp.
However, she didn’t think too much about it.
You actually left one alive for Pei Qian so that he could continue investigating.
However, Pei Qian didn’t intend to let you keep a low profile and hide your talent, so he exposed it as soon as he arrived!”
After Lin Suisui explained it clearly, she looked up at Lu Ze, who was surprised, and chuckled. “I don’t like to think about this sort of thing, but that doesn’t mean I’m stupid!
I know what’s good for me. I know that being too merciful isn’t good for me or those around me!
I’m just trying my best to stay true to myself!”
Lu Ze’s identity was destined to make it impossible for her to escape this quagmire of scheming. In life-or-death situations, being merciful was a luxury she couldn’t afford.
“Have you heard about what happened to my mother?” Perhaps Lin Suisui’s words had brought up a certain dark memory, but Lu Ze’s expression was a little gloomy. After sitting down beside Lin Suisui for a long time, he slowly said, “She wasn’t born into a noble family. She was the daughter of a concubine who had fallen from grace. Later on, she caught the eye of the King, who was still a Prince at that time.
At that time, the King-then Prince-wasn’t very prominent in the royal court. At that time, this marriage was requested by the King himself. Because of how serious he was about it and because of his family background, it was a topic of conversation for a long time.
Because he had decided to marry her back then, the Empress Dowager, who wasn’t highly esteemed in the palace at that time, was also mocked by the concubines! Therefore, from the day my mother married my father, the Empress Dowager disliked her.
My mother didn’t like gory things. Or rather, she didn’t want to see any killings! In the palace, she always compromised again and again. She was particular about winning people over with virtue and treating them kindly!”
“Your mother was a good person.” Lin Suisui lowered her eyes and said somewhat feebly.
However, Lin Suisui really couldn’t think of anything else to say.
Such a gentle and kind yet weak woman had the love of a king but no powerful family to rely on. In the palace…
Wouldn’t she be seen as a pushover?!
However, she couldn’t say this to Lu Ze.
“Yes, she was the best mother in the world.”
Lu Ze nodded. Lin Suisui’s heart ached when she heard this. If his mother couldn’t even protect him, in order to survive, he probably experienced many unpleasant things in the palace.
“Forget it. It’s in the past. There’s no point in mentioning it now.”
Although Pei Qian has interfered in this matter, Little White is by our side now, so I’ll try my best not to leave you during this period of time. It’s best if you can stick with me at all times.”
Lu Ze suppressed his voice and instructed Lin Suisui quickly, “It’s better to leave our lives in our hands.”
Lin Suisui nodded and continued to listen to Lu Ze’s next instructions.
When Mrs. Luo and the others returned from the market with happy expressions, Lin Suisui and Lu Ze had already discussed what needed to be discussed. At this moment, they agreed to Mrs. Luo’s invitation and went out to see their newly bought ox cart.
“This ox cart is flat and doesn’t have a carriage, so it was half a tael cheaper.” Mrs. Luo introduced the ox cart to Lin Suisui in a low voice.
“Fortunately, the ox is not bad. It’s strong, sturdy, and light. Wu Liulang said that if we can’t fix the flatbed cart at the back, we can make a simple one ourselves.
It doesn’t have to be entirely wood. We bought some linoleum. When the time comes, we’ll paste a few thick layers. For the time being, we’ll be able to cover the journey.”
Lin Suisui nodded. She didn’t know much about these things, but she knew that Wu Liu and the others had accompanied the Luo family on this trip to buy an ox cart. Since Wu Liu and the others thought it was good, it must be good.
There wasn’t much time left. When the men returned, they began to work on the Luo family’s ox cart. Mrs. Luo had a smile on her face as she replied to the people who came after they saw the commotion and prepared dinner with her daughter-in-law.
Lin Suisui wanted to come over and help, but Mrs. Luo said with a smile, “These are just the things we bought in the city today. It won’t take much effort. Sit at the side and busy yourself. I’ll call you when the food is ready!”
Although Mrs. Luo said it politely, Lin Suisui didn’t leave. She carried a sewing basket over and sat by the bonfire to talk to Mrs. Luo while sewing.
Before she could finish speaking, she saw Fang Rui’er walk in with a pale face, as if she had suffered a huge shock. Mrs. Luo’s expression changed.
Her first reaction was that Fang Rui’er had gone out to cause trouble again!
However, just as she raised her voice, Fang Rui’er wailed, “It was so scary. There was blood everywhere…”
“Don’t panic. Don’t panic. Talk about it slowly!” Fang Liu was also shocked by Fang Rui’er’s reaction. She quickly reached out and pulled Fang Rui’er into her arms. As she gently patted her back to help her calm down, she coaxed in a low voice, “Alright, alright. It’s fine. We’re here. What’s wrong? Don’t panic!”
“I just went out to dig for vegetables. There was someone tied to the table and someone was using a knife…” Fang Rui’er stammered. As she spoke, she seemed to recall the scene she had just seen. She couldn’t help but push Fang Liu away before she ran to the side. She held onto the tree trunk as she vomited.
Fang Rui’er’s words were a little incoherent, but Lin Suisui knew what Fang Rui’er was referring to!
