“The first time I saw Young Master Chu, I felt his aura was familiar.”

Luan Hong voiced out her guess,

“Cousin, do you still remember the Blue Mountain Conference? At that time, the Empress brought people to assassinate the Emperor. Someone saved me. I didn’t see his face in the chaos but remembered his smell. It was the same as Young Master Chu’s smell.”

Why would Chu Jingfeng appear at the Blue Mountain Conference in the Tartan Kingdom? Who exactly was he?

“Luan Hong, before confirming this person’s identity, you are not allowed to like him.”

Su Qing’s face darkened as she told her cousin that if Chu Jingfeng did appear at the Azure Mountain Meet, he must have had other motives for approaching her.

Before she knew who her friend or foe was, she would not allow Luan Hong to have feelings for Chu Jingfeng, lest she suffer in the future.

“Why? Young Master Chu is a good person. He is perfect.”

Luan Hong looked at Su Qing in confusion and anxiously defended him. Su Qing’s eyes turned cold.

“You’re now captivated by love and only see the good side he wants you to see. You don’t know the true side.”

“Young Master Chu has helped us a lot. I don’t think there’s anything for him to scheme against us.”

Luan Hong insisted on her point of view. She liked Young Master Chu. Previously, she thought her cousin was a couple with him, so she deliberately suppressed her feelings. Now that she was sure her cousin did not like Chu Jingfeng, Luan Hong bravely pursued her happiness.

“Perhaps he is plotting to make our wine recipe, or perhaps he wants to make you into a spy under him. In short, before we investigate clearly, this person is dangerous.”

Su Qing didn’t know why Chu Jingfeng had intentionally approached her. One possibility was that he was a spy, shuttling between the Great Xia Kingdom and the Tartan Kingdom with ill intentions.

However, there was also a possibility that the reputation of the fat sheep of Tartan was widespread. Chu Jingfeng was in the restaurant business and went to Tartan to buy fat sheep. He was in time for the Blue Mountain Conference to watch the show and saved Luan Hong.

Luan Hong did not think much of it but did not want to argue with her cousin, so she agreed perfunctorily. However, after her cousin’s last instructions, she knew the wine recipe was a trade secret and would not tell Chu Jingfeng.

That night, Su Hanxuan invited Yang Zhi and the others to dinner. Su Qing had cooked too many dishes, and the whole family couldn’t finish them all. He was also thanking Yang Zhi for helping him find his daughter.

Ji Shuisheng took a bite of the roasted mutton and was sure Su Qing roasted it. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the taste was different. He could not help but look up at the inner chamber. Su Hanxuan had deliberately separated him from Su Qing.

He brought Ji Shuisheng, Yang Zhi, and the others to eat in the guest hall. Su Qing, Yang Ruxue, and Luan Hong were eating in the dining hall of the Inner Residence. It was a luxury to even glance at them, let alone meet them.

“Shuisheng, drink.”

Yang Zhi raised his glass and invited Ji Shuisheng to drink. He liked to drink the Drunken Overlord brewed by Su Qing, which warmed his body. Su Hanxuan wanted to drink the Jiannanchun brewed by his daughter, which was soft and not too intense.

Yang Zhi had also poured the Drunken Overlord for Ji Shuisheng. Men had to drink this kind of strong alcohol.

Ji Shuisheng raised his glass and drank with him. Yang Zhi’s bodyguards also came over to toast Ji Shuisheng. Ji Shuisheng had something on his mind, to begin with, so he drank too much and lay on the table. How did he not know he was sent to the guest room to sleep?

When Su Qing heard that Ji Shuisheng had drunk too much, she made some hangover soup for Ji Shuisheng. Su Hanxuan stopped her halfway.

“In the dead of the night, a man and a woman alone will attract criticism.”

“I’m not afraid.”

Su Qing didn’t care about the secular world at all. She wanted to see why Shuisheng drank too much. He could drink a thousand glasses without getting drunk. She had never seen him drink too much in Mo City before.

“Su Qing, go back quickly.”

Su Hanxuan was a little angry, and his tone was a little harsh. Su Qing looked at him and said,

“Father, what did you say to Shuisheng today?”

“I told him that you have a fiance. I asked him to wait a year, and he has already agreed.”

Su Hanxuan said to his daughter frankly without hiding anything.

“I also want to say this to you. One year is the deadline. Don’t be in a hurry to settle down with Shuisheng. As a human being, you must break off the engagement before you can move on to the next step. Don’t make things difficult for Father.”

“Father, I don’t acknowledge the marriage you set. There’s no need to set a one-year deadline.”

Su Qing looked at her father calmly and said firmly. Su Hanxuan clutched his chest and felt a deep sense of powerlessness towards his daughter.

She had too many ideas and too much personality.

Su Qing still did not listen to Su Hanxuan. She carried the hangover soup to the guest room to take care of Ji Shuisheng.

However, just as she poured him a hangover soup, Ji Shuisheng hugged her from behind. He rested his chin on Su Qing’s shoulder and said faintly,

“I thought you had forgotten about me!”

Su Qing’s heart softened when she heard the puppy’s aggrieved tone. She turned her head to look at Ji Shuisheng, who was leaning against her face. His face was red after drinking, and his dark eyes looked at her. There was a flame jumping in his eyes. His body was very hot, and his breath carried a faint smell of alcohol, making Su Qing’s body heat up.

Ji Shuisheng, however, moved quickly when she turned her head. He kissed her sweet red lips as if he could not kiss enough. It was as if he was sucking on honey, and the kiss intoxicated him. His tiger-like eyes were filled with lust as he looked at Su Qing.

His enthusiasm also infected Su Qing. She couldn’t help but moan and close her cold eyes, intoxicated by Ji Shuisheng’s gentleness.

After a long while, Ji Shuisheng finally let go of her lips and whispered in her ear,

“One year is too long.” n-/O.)v-/e-)L()b.-1-.n

The unspeakable grievance in his voice and the hoarseness of his pleas sounded like the most pleasant voice in Su Qing’s ears.

“Time passes quickly when you’re busy. Godmother’s corpse hasn’t even turned cold yet, and your father hasn’t gotten revenge yet.”

Su Qing had promised her father to keep the promise for a year, but she said she would break the engagement even if she found her fiance.

Ji Shuisheng’s hot blood cooled when he heard about his godmother and father. That’s right, now was not the time to discuss his marriage with Qing’er.

When his foster father died, he swore he would not get married until he avenged his father.

Ji Shuisheng woke up the following day and went to the military camp again. He hoped Yan Shikuan would stop worrying about the commander’s seal and bring the Xiao Family’s army to submit to him.

When Ji Shuisheng arrived at the military camp, Yan Shikuan trained his troops. His hands were behind his back as he looked down at the Xiao Family’s Army training below. This was the team that his big brother had given him. He had endured humiliation for so many years to protect them.

“Commander Yan, the young man who came last time, is here again.”

A soldier ran over to report to Yan Shikuan. Yan Shikuan raised his thick eyebrows. He had already guessed it was Ji Shuisheng without the soldier’s detailed report.

“Let him in.”

Yan Shikuan ordered the soldiers to bring Ji Shuisheng into the barracks.

Not everyone could enter the Xiao Family Army’s barracks. This was also Yan Shikuan giving Ji Shuisheng a face.

Yan Shikuan looked at the entrance of the military camp expectantly.. Would he see the Xiao family’s military seal this time?
