Chapter 63 - Roasted Fish

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Du Wangshi had always been a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Although she didn’t know what had happened previously, from Pei Qian’s actions, she could guess what had happened.

Because she was familiar with her daughter’s personality, Du Wangshi didn’t suspect that there was something else involved in today’s matter!

Her first reaction was to find a scapegoat!

She didn’t have the guts to look for Pei Qian. After all, she was afraid that she would be killed!

Therefore, the next best target was the meek and easy-to-bully couple in front of her.

In addition, her family had originally planned to marry her daughter to Gu Erlang. Now that this opportunity was presented to her, she naturally had to grab it tightly!

After all, it was obvious that Juan’er had ill intentions towards her husband, but Madam Liu still wanted to save her daughter…

Wasn’t it obvious that she was a fool?!

However, Du Wangshi didn’t expect that this pushover, who she looked like she could crush easily, would suddenly change her attitude and shout at her so fiercely.

“Are you curious about why I want to save your daughter?!”

While Du Wangshi was in a daze, Lin Suisui had already put away her needles and stood up. Lin Suisui turned to look at Du Wangshi as she said, “Because I don’t want to be scapegoated and wrongly accused!

Therefore, she has to live and tell you what happened today!”

Lin Suisui paused for a moment before looking at Du Wangshi and continuing, “Your daughter is fine for the time being, but she’s injured after all. She has to recuperate when she goes back. Try not to let her get too tired during this period of time. When we reach the base, it’s best if you hire a doctor to examine her.”

She didn’t want to have any more deep contact with the family in front of her, so she gave instructions at this moment.

Du Wangshi’s mind was already a mess.

“What do you mean?!” Du Wangshi swallowed hard and glared at Lin Suisui. “You’re saying that my daughter, my daughter, she…”

“You should ask your daughter yourself when she wakes up.”

Lin Suisui didn’t intend to say anything else. She didn’t want to get involved with them!

Du Wangshi wanted to continue pestering her, but Lu Ze turned around and glanced at her, making her mind go blank from fear. When she came back to her senses, the back of her shirt was already soaked in cold sweat. When the cold wind blew, she couldn’t help but shiver.

That gaze just now was so terrifying…

Even though Du Wangshi had reminded herself more than once that Gu Erlang was just an ordinary hunter, the killing intent in his eyes still made her apprehensive.

Since she couldn’t find trouble with this couple for the time being, she might as well go back and figure out what had happened to Ling’er!

“Where did you go just now?!”

When they returned to their ox cart, Lin Suisui pulled Lu Ze over and asked him about the situation just now. She remembered that when she went to Aunt Luo’s place to do needlework, Lu Ze was still by the bonfire!

“Wu Liu just came to look for me and said that he had something to ask me for help with, so I went over to take a look. When I came back, I saw that something had happened!” Lu Ze felt that what had happened today was indeed too much of a coincidence.

Compared to him, Pei Qian naturally had the advantage in terms of obtaining information.

Therefore, Pei Qian probably expected everything that had happened today. That was why he took advantage of the situation!

However, there was another question. What did Pei Qian want to achieve by doing this?!

Just to have fun?!

“Today, Su Sanniang deliberately found fault with me. At first, I didn’t think that anything was wrong, but later on, when I realized that she had been stalling for time to prevent me from leaving, I realized that something was wrong.

She had always been very close to the Du sisters. I originally thought that she was buying time for Du Miao’er and the others!

After discovering that it was Du Ling’er who was thrown out by Pei Qian, Su Sanniang was shocked. Therefore…”

Lin Suisui tried her best to tell Lu Ze everything that had just happened in detail. Then, she frowned and said in a low voice, “Why did Du Ling’er become the one who suffered in the end?!”

“No matter why it became Du Ling’er, this has nothing to do with us now.” Lu Ze reached out and rubbed the top of Lin Suisui’s head with a smile to reassure her.

Lin Suisui covered the top of her head and looked at Lu Ze, who had turned around to leave to deal with the food by the bonfire. She felt that he seemed to like to rub the top of her head and pinch her cheek recently!

The sense of distance she felt when they first met seemed to be fading!

Although she didn’t dislike this type of interaction…

“Come over quickly. We’re going to eat grilled fish tonight!” Lu Ze saw that Lin Suisui was still sitting on the shaft and rubbing her head with a confused expression. His heart softened, and his tone became gentler. He was afraid that she would be frightened, so he said in a coaxing tone, “Wu Liu looked for me just now because he realized that there were fish in the stream over there. He told me to try my luck!”

“This fish isn’t small!”

Seeing that there was finally a new ingredient tonight, Lin Suisui couldn’t care less about the previous incident. Her attention was immediately attracted by the big green fish Lu Ze had shown her.

“No, we can’t roast it directly! The fishiness can’t be removed like this, and it won’t be easy to roast it!” Seeing that Lu Ze was about to put the big green fish on the grill, she quickly jumped down from the shaft and stopped him. “Let’s marinate it with salt and ginger for a while! It’s still early. Let’s go nearby to see if there are any wild vegetables that can get rid of the fishiness!”

Getting to eat grilled fish was a rare opportunity. Lin Suisui didn’t want to make do!

Wouldn’t that be a waste?!

Lu Ze didn’t refuse. He began to prepare the fish according to Lin Suisui’s instructions. He first marinated the fish before setting off with Lin Suisui, who was already prepared. They went to the pasture at the side to find the wild vegetables Lin Suisui needed.

Lin Suisui felt that they were quite lucky. Although the temperature near the north had begun to drop, they could still find some wild vegetables with strong vitality in the wilderness.

For example, the perilla that Lin Suisui needed now.

With skillful movements, she plucked the purple perilla leaves that were close to the stream. After she washed them by the stream and prepared to turn around, she keenly smelled blood in the air.
