Chapter 417: Chapter 417. You’ve Forgotten Him

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Two days later, Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng arrived at Jingshi Dao. Ji Shuisheng and Yan Shikuan went to the military camp, while Su Qing went home.

On the way home, she saw that her restaurant had already opened for business. The customers were more prosperous than she had imagined. Su Qing could not help but get off her horse and go over to take a look. A waiter saw her and quickly came over to help her lead the horse. He was very attentive.

“Sir, please come in.”

Su Qing didn’t reveal her identity and followed the waiter into the restaurant. She saw that the butler was busy acting as the shopkeeper.

“Miss.”

When the butler saw Su Qing enter the restaurant, he quickly put down his abacus and came over. He smiled and asked him to take care of the restaurant’s business.

“Look, it’s already afternoon, and there’s still no shortage of people. It’s been full every day for the past few days. Our Jiannanchun and Drunken Overlord’s supply is in short supply.”

“Not bad.”

Su Qing nodded. It seemed that she had to expand the winery. Otherwise, the orders from Tartan would not be completed, and the restaurant would not have enough.

“Cousin?”

Luan Hong brought some people to deliver wine to the restaurant. When she entered the door, she saw her cousin’s back and ran over anxiously.

“You’re tired and thin.”

Su Qing turned around and almost couldn’t recognize her cousin at first glance. She used to have a small round face, but she had lost so much weight that her face was like an oval-shaped face. Her eyes were even more prominent than before.

Xiaoying had lost weight because of her godmother. Luan Hong must have lost weight from exhaustion. She was only a teenage girl. She should not have placed all the burden on her shoulders.

“I’m not tired.”

Luan Hong’s big eyes flashed with an anxious light as she looked at Su Qing like she was looking at her savior. However, too many guests were in the restaurant and she couldn’t ask questions. She wanted to call her cousin to a place where no one could ask, so she found an excuse.

“Cousin, Second Aunt misses you. We...Hurry up and go home!”

“Alright.”

Su Qing agreed and turned around to bid farewell to the old butler. “I’ll go back first.”

“Miss, take care.”

The butler was very respectful to Su Qing. It was all thanks to Miss that the Su family was able to rebuild their family. Miss also saved his old life at the risk of her life. He swore his loyalty to the Su family and Miss.

Su Qing followed Luan Hong out of the restaurant. The waiter immediately brought Big Black over to Su Qing. Luan Hong waved at the waiter, “You can go to your place!”

Su Qing glanced at her and felt Luan Hong had something to say. She took the initiative to ask her,

“What’s the matter?”

“Cousin, Young Master Chu is missing. Do you know where he went?”

Chu Jingfeng had been secretly captured without alerting anyone, so no one knew his whereabouts.

Chu Jingfeng’s servants even went to the Su residence to look for him. Luan Hong had been unable to sleep or eat well after knowing that Chu Jingfeng had gone missing. She feared that he was in danger and could not find anyone to help her. Knowing her cousin was powerful, she wanted to ask her to help her find Young Master Chu.

“... Didn’t 1 tell you not to interact with him?”

Su Qing did not answer Luan Hong’s question and asked her with a frown. Luan Hong was apprehensive about Chu Jingfeng’s safety and could not be reserved as she spoke to Su Qing,

“... Young Master Chu’s servants came to the residence and said he was missing. Young Master Chu has helped us a lot. Cousin, let’s help look for him!”

“If you can’t find him, you should forget him.”

Su Qing rejected coldly without any leeway. She had warned her cousin not to fall in love with Chu Jingfeng. Why did she not listen?

“Cousin?”

Luan Hong still wanted to beg Su Qing, but she was so frightened by Su Qing’s cold gaze that she swallowed her words. Her heart seemed on fire, and she dreamed that something had happened to Young Master Chu.

“Let’s go home.”

Su Qing did not allow her to continue. Luan Hong felt that her cousin was unreasonable and cold-blooded. She stomped her foot angrily and said willfully,

“No, I’m not going back. I’m going to find him.”

Su Qing did not have the patience to coax this disobedient cousin. She grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the carriage, ordering the coachman to drive the carriage.

“Let’s go.”

The coachman was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his whip and drove the carriage away. Luan Hong angrily lifted the carriage curtain and protested to Su Qing, “Cousin, you’re too overbearing.”

Su Qing coldly glared at her. Luan Hong pouted and snorted. She lowered the curtain, and tears rolled down her face.

Su Qing frowned when she heard Luan Hong crying. This Chu Jingfeng was a bastard. He had made her cousin fall head over heels for him.

How was she going to make Luan Hong see Chu Jingfeng’s true colors?

Su Qing was most annoyed dealing with these things. In the past, she was alone and did not have to think about anything or take care of anyone’s emotions. Now...

How troublesome!

Fortunately, Luan Hong only threw a tantrum for a short while. When she reached home, she wiped her tears as if nothing had happened. After exiting the carriage, her voice was still a little choked. She apologized to Su Qing,

“Cousin, 1 was anxious just now. Don’t be angry.”

Su Qing’s heart softened when she saw Luan Hong acting like a child who had done something wrong. She said to her in a gentle voice, n--o.-v--e)-l-/b-(I-)n

“I’m not angry.”

“Then I’ll go to the winery.”

After coaxing her cousin, Luan Hong said she wanted to go to the winery. Su Qing saw that she did not expose her thoughts and said lightly,

“I’ll go with you later.”

Luan Hong was a little anxious. This was an excuse she had come up with. She wanted to go to the Chu residence to ask if he had returned.

“Let’s go.”

Su Qing didn’t give her a chance to find an excuse and pulled her to the backyard.

Servants were sweeping the snow in the garden. When they saw Luan Hong and Su Qing, they respectfully called her Miss. Su Qing swept her gaze across the servants. Her look was as sharp as a sword. The servants hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to meet her gaze.

Cousin, how come?

Luan Hong noticed that her cousin was looking at the servants coldly. But these people didn’t do anything wrong. What was her cousin doing? To establish her might?

“I’m fine.”

Su Qing retracted her gaze and said indifferently. She had already thought of selling these servants out.

Chu Jingfeng had helped to find these maids and servants. He was the prince of the Haza Kingdom, and he must have hidden himself in Jingshi Dao for some ulterior motive. He also had a reason for getting close to her. It was difficult to guarantee that there were no spies among the servants he had arranged.

Su Qing felt a lingering fear when she thought of her parents and aunt’s family being in danger.

“Master.”

Fatty Xiao Qi had become fatter again and ran towards Su Qing with her short legs. She looked like a little penguin in the South Pole, waddling lovingly.

“You gained weight again?”

Su Qing bent down and picked up Xiao Qi. She had gained at least 10 pounds. The little guy’s food was not bad!

Master, Xiao Qi misses you.”

Xiao Qi pouted and looked at Su Qing pitifully. Her master always threw her aside. She was the most pitiful system baby.

H H

Facing Xiao Qi’s coquettishness, Su Qing’s face was expressionless, but a hint of a smile flashed across her cold eyes. Xiao Qi was smart and caught it. She smiled and said, “Master also misses Xiao Qi; oh yeah!”

Su Qing turned her face away. She really couldn’t help but be nice to Xiao Qi. She was so bright just because she gave her some sunshine.

“Qing’er has returned.”

It was rare for Yang Ruxue to admire the snow in the courtyard with her elder sister. When she saw Su Qing and Luan Hong walk into the backyard, Yang Ruxue immediately smiled happily and walked over.

“Mother, Aunt.”

Su Qing placed Xiao Qi on the ground and greeted his mother and aunt.

“Are you tired? Are you hungry? Mother asked the kitchen to cook something delicious for you?”

Yang Ruxue asked her daughter excitedly, wishing she could pluck the stars from the sky and give them to her.

“Mother, where’s father? I have something to tell you..”
