After Her Divorce, She Escaped With A Strong Man To Farm

Chapter 123. His Body Also Has The Aura of The Mortal World

“Xiaoying, take it to the car.”

Su Qing took off the two food boxes and handed them to Xiaoying. She removed the knife paper from the back of the horse. Xiaoying asked Su Qing curiously,

“Sister, What is this?”

“Paper knife.”

Su Qing explained calmly as she walked towards the carriage with two packets of paper knives in each hand.

“What’s this for?”

Xiaoying asked Su Qing in a low voice. They had never used such a high-level item before, so they didn’t know what it was for.

She knew about rice paper. It was used for writing. What was knife paper?

“In the future, don’t use tree leaves when you go to the toilet. Use this.”

Su Qing didn’t explain how she would use it daily. Many men were around her, so she was trying to hide the topic.

Even this caused a sensation. Were you spending money on toilet paper? How extravagant.

“That’s great; the leaves are cutting my butt.”

Leaves and grass couldn’t wipe clean, and getting hurt was easy. This was better; the soft paper wouldn’t cut one’s butt. Xiaoying was elated when she heard that.

“Did you spend a lot of money? No, I have to feed silkworm baby and help sister earn money quickly.”

Xiaoying’s happiness quickly turned into worry. Her heart ached for the money Su Qing had spent.

While Su Qing was in Jin City, Xiaoying took the children to feed the silkworm babies. Her sister said that the silkworm babies could make a lot of money after making silk, so she wanted to feed them quickly and help her sister make money.

Su Qing couldn’t help but smile when she saw Xiaoying’s heartache. She followed her to her carriage and loaded the two bundles of paper knives. After all, the paper knives were most afraid of rainy days. However, these things took up a lot of space so the children couldn’t sit in this carriage anymore.

However, they didn’t need to walk; they had seats on the ten handcarts.

Ji Shuisheng took his men to set up the carts. Since they couldn’t leave immediately, Su Qing had yet to eat lunch, so she opened the lunchbox and ate a little before leaving.

As soon as the lunchbox was opened, the fragrance of the food rushed into her nose. There were five dishes: braised pork trotters, west lake sweet and sour fish, red braised meat, fragrant, crispy chicken, and roasted lamb with scallion. There were five dishes, a plate of crystal clear desserts, and a bottle of wine.

Ji Xiaoying’s eyes widened. There were so many good dishes. She asked Su Qing in surprise,

“There are so many good dishes. Sister, did you go to a restaurant to buy them?”

“Someone gave it to me.”

Su Qing was delighted with the dishes. Master Qi was a man of his word. He did treat Su Qing as to his wedding.

Hearing Su Qing’s words, Ji Shuisheng couldn’t help but glance at her. These dishes would cost at least a dozen taels of silver to buy at a restaurant. Who would be so generous as to give these to Su Qing? She didn’t even mention that she had any acquaintances in Jin City!

“Let’s eat,”

Su Qing tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Xiaoying. The aroma of the crispy chicken was enough to make one salivate. Ji Xiaoying could not help but gulp. However, seeing that her brother had not eaten, she asked Su Qing softly,

“Sister, can I give this chicken leg to my brother?”

“Yes.”

Su Qing grunted in acknowledgment and did not turn back to look at Ji Shuisheng. She passed the red braised meat and water chestnuts to Ji Xiaoying and the bottle of wine.

“I don’t like fat meat, and I don’t want this wine. Give it to your brother!”

Ji Shuisheng risked his life to help her find Lingzhi, so she should return the favor.

“Thank you, sister.”

Ji Xiaoying didn’t expect sister Su Qing to bring so much good food for her big brother. She thanked Su Qing excitedly, holding a plate of food in each hand and wine under her chopsticks to give to her big brother.

Su Qing glanced at Madam Li in the car and placed a chicken wing in her hand without saying a word. Madam Li quickly declined,

“You can keep it. I’ve already eaten.”

Su Qing pushed her hand back and started eating. The taste of the dish was to her liking. The crispy chicken was tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. It was incredibly delicious.

The lamb with scallion was not bad either. The meat was very tender and didn’t taste too good with chili. Su Qing studied how this dish was made as she ate.

“Take it back and leave it for your sister Su Qing.”

Ji Shuisheng was unwilling to snatch the food from Su Qing’s mouth. He might not even be able to eat such delicious food during the new year. Su Qing could always save it for the next meal if she could not finish it.

“Don’t waste my good intentions.”

Xiaoying angrily stuffed the plate into the big guy’s hands and forgot she was still holding the wine. The moment she raised her arm, the wine bottle fell. Ji Shuisheng saw it and quickly caught it with his feet.

“I only want the hoofs. This meat is soft, and you can take it back to eat.”

Ji Shuisheng saw Su Qing’s cold face and seemed to be angry. His sister was right. Rejecting Su Qing’s good intentions would be embarrassing, so he left the horseshoe crabs and wine.

Ji Shuisheng asked Qiu Yongkang to have dinner with him. When Su Qing saw that he did not refuse, the coldness in her eyes lessened.

Seeing that Xiaoying had brought back the red braised meat, Su Qing asked her to call the children over and give each of them a piece of meat.

Su Qing was in disbelief after she finished her sentence. The number of people she missed had increased, and she was no longer like she used to be. Since when did she become so generous?

However, this made her feel like she was a part of the mortal world. This feeling was quite good, and she no longer felt lonely.

The children’s parents were very grateful to Su Qing for giving their children such good food. Su Qing was a good person.

Qiu Yue had been watching all of this coldly. She was so jealous that her heart ached. Su Qing only knew how to buy people’s hearts. Didn’t she have two pieces of stinky money?

After Su Qing finished her meal, Li Daniu and the rest set up the vehicles, and the team continued to move forward.

After Ji Shuisheng drank some wine, the unhappiness in his heart decreased a lot. His impulsiveness from before also calmed down. When he drove the carriage, he was more unrestrained and at ease. He stepped on the carriage shaft with one leg and did not need to swing the carriage with the whip in his hand. The big black horse could walk steadily without even whipping it. This horse was perfect.

Ji Shuisheng couldn’t hear the conversation in the carriage and couldn’t help but turn back to look. He saw Su Qing leaning against the carriage, her always cold eyes blocked by her long eyelashes. There was a sense of nobility and mystery in her cold demeanor. The green clothes suited her temperament.

While the villagers continued on their way, Jiang Yifan suffered unbearable torture in the prison of Jin City’s courier station.

He deserved to be unlucky. The executioner was cruel and took pleasure in torturing people. He took a thorny whip dipped in salt water and whipped him, and every whip took away a piece of flesh. Jiang Yifan’s body trembled in pain, and he fainted a few times before being woken up by the whip. It was as if he had entered hell, and the torture was endless.

He didn’t understand why the General had captured him as a spy when he had come to contribute to the General’s prescription of stopping the bleeding. What did he want him to say?

When the executioner was tired, he would stop and drink from the flagon. After finishing the flagon, he wiped the wine stains from his mouth and returned to Jiang Yifan with his whip. Using the whip stained with Jiang Yifan’s blood and flesh, he picked up Jiang Yifan’s drooping head. His cold voice was like the king of hell summoning his soul.

“Tell me, who asked you to come?”
