“Your life is worthless; even if you die before me now, it’s useless. If you dare to die here today, I will torture Qiu Yongkang into a thousand pieces.”

Su Qing coldly threw him a cruel sentence and walked away without looking at him. Old Master Qiu fell to the ground like a deflated ball.

Qiu Yongkang’s mother was crying in the snow, and she said to her son in her heart,

“Yongkang, you must run far away. Don’t let that female devil catch you.”

“Grandpa Qiu, Auntie, you can go back!”

Ji Shuisheng did not know how to comfort them. He said stiffly. He could not bear to see Old Master Qiu’s pleading gaze and quickly left. He was afraid that he would be soft-hearted.

“If it weren’t for Mother teaching me not to harm my wife and children, I would have already killed all of you.”

Zhong Yong clenched his huge fists and stood before the family as he gritted his teeth.

Old Master Qiu worried about his grandson when he saw Zhong Yong’s bloodshot eyes. He didn’t believe that his grandson could kill Madam Li. Why would he kill her if they had no grudges?

Old Master Qiu begged Zhong Yong to spare his grandson’s life.

“Zhong Yong, you must have been deceived. Yongkang is so kind that he definitely wouldn’t kill your mother. Promise Grandpa that we must ask him plainly after they capture Yongkang.”

“Why would I ask that bastard why he killed my mother?”

Zhong Yong’s hatred for Old Master Qiu grew. He glared at Qiu Yongkang’s family, who were as bad as he was.

Old Master Qiu stared at Zhong Yong’s angry back with lifeless eyes. The whistling north wind made him feel cold all over.

“Yongkang wouldn’t kill anyone. They must have wronged him.”

Auntie Qiu said hatefully after everyone left. She was filled with hatred, especially towards Ji Shuisheng. He grew up with Yongkang, so how could he not know what kind of person Yongkang was? Why did he turn so ruthless?

“Father, if 1 knew that Shuisheng was so ungrateful, I wouldn’t have taken them in. They repaid kindness with ingratitude and caused Qiu Yue to have difficulty returning home.”

Aunt Qiu blamed her father-in-law for taking Bai Jiusheng and Ji Shuisheng in. She did not think they would have been able to come to Mo City alive without Ji Shuisheng and Su Qing.

On one side, Auntie Qiu resented Ji Shuisheng. On the other side, Ji Shuisheng, Su Qing, and Zhong Yong went to Godmother’s grave. Seeing Godmother’s grave covered by snow, Su Qing felt sadness. Godmother’s warm gaze flashed past her eyes.

Zhong Yong and Ji Shuisheng used their arms and hands to clean up the snow on the grave. Zhong Yong’s cries were like wolves’ howls.

“Mother, please bless your son to capture that bastard Qiu Yongkang and avenge you.”

Su Qing looked at Godmother’s tombstone and said,

“Godmother, please bless us with the blessings of the heavens to capture that bastard Qiu Yongkang.”

What answered them was the whistling of the wind. Su Qing looked up at the sky. The sky was blue today. Was Godmother happy that they found the real murderer?

“Let’s go!”

After a short memorial ceremony, Su Qing called Zhong Yong to leave. Zhong Yong knelt before his mother’s grave and kowtowed three times.

“Mother, wait for Yong’er to avenge you.”

The three of them rode on three horses and rushed to Tartan. They traveled fast and arrived at Tartan in the evening. They went straight to the Third Prince.

They didn’t tell the Third Prince what had happened, only giving him Qiu Yongkang’s portrait, “1’11 have to trouble the Third Prince to help me find this person.”

The Third Prince took the portrait and saw that it was an intellectual scholar. He looked up at Ji Shuisheng and said,

“Alright, 1’11 get someone to investigate. If he’s in Tartan, it should be easy to find him.”

“Thank you.”

Ji Shuisheng cupped his fists and thanked him.

“You’re welcome.”

The Third Prince also cupped his fists at Ji Shuisheng in return. He wanted to ask about Xiaoying’s situation, but he knew it would be useless. Ji Shuisheng did not allow them to be together.

Ever since the last time they parted, he had dreamed of Xiaoying waving at him for a few nights. Her smile was sweet and moving, and her eyes were moist and affectionate.

Every time he woke up, he would miss Xiaoying even more. Even the attraction of power to him had become less important.

The Third Prince returned after arranging for Qiu Yongkang to be found and asked Su Qing,

“Miss Su, when can the Drunk Overlord be shipped over? It has been out of stock for several days.”

“I’ll get someone to send it across when I return.”

Su Qing also knew she had not done her job correctly and delayed her income. She nodded and agreed to send someone to deliver the goods immediately.

There was no need to find anyone else. Uncle Yang and the people from the Bodyguard Agency were all at Jingshi Dao. They could escort the goods over.

When the Third Prince heard that Su Qing had agreed to deliver the goods, he immediately smiled and said,

“That’s great. Father has been missing it since he couldn’t drink the Drunk Overlord.”

“In the next half a month, I will deliver the goods on time.”

Su Qing felt that she had not kept her word in this matter, and it was also because of the sudden move that affected her. She promised the Third Prince.

“Good, good. We can increase the production.”

The Third Prince had already opened trade routes to the Hasar Kingdom and a few other small countries. The Drunken Overlord was very popular, and the supply was short. He hoped that Su Qing could increase production and supply in time.

“No problem.”

Su Qing also wanted to earn more money, so she nodded in agreement.

The Third Prince immediately ordered the soldiers to slaughter the sheep to entertain Ji Shuisheng and Su Qing. He also had a little idea. He wanted to take advantage of the wine and give Ji Shuisheng a good impression. He wanted to show his merits and change his mind so that he would agree to marry Xiaoying to him.

“I’ll cook.”

Su Qing wanted to level up her cooking skills, but it was progressing slowly. She only had a little experience left and couldn’t go up no matter what. She wanted to cook for the future emperor. Her experience should be able to increase faster, so she volunteered.

“How embarrassing would that be? You’re a guest. How can I let you cook?”

The Third Prince disagreed. The Tartan Kingdom valued its guests the most. How could they let their guests cook?

“Try Qing’er’s cooking.”

Ji Shuisheng saw that Su Qing wanted to show off her skills, so he spoke up for her.

“…. This, alright!”

The Third Prince had no choice but to agree. He didn’t think that Su Qing’s cooking would be so delicious. Being good at fighting and killing people didn’t mean cuisine could be delicious.

After seeing the brave and heroic Su Qing killing someone several times, the Third Prince automatically blocked her as a woman. He felt that she could not learn needlework and cooking, which were compulsory courses for women.

Su Qing wanted to make a lamb feast today. Roasted lamb chops, steamed lamb chops, braised lamb, lamb tail soup, spicy lamb head…

She made two new dishes that Ji Shuisheng had never tried; the rest were all his favorites. She made a total of twelve dishes.

“Congratulations, host. Your culinary skills have reached the maximum level. Your spiritual power, physique, and war god ability have all reached level 69. You are rewarded with a fully automatic kitchen.”

Sure enough, cooking for the future emperor gained experience quickly. After Su Qing finished twelve dishes, her culinary skills rose to the maximum level. The system’s good news sounded when the golden light flashed.

Although the fully automated kitchen was not bad, it was not the reward that Su Qing wanted. She wanted to use this upgrade to get the system to help her find Qiu Yongkang..
