“That’s easy. We can find him by keeping an eye on the tofu shop.”

Su Qing’s eyes were cold and ruthless, and her voice was even colder. No matter who it was, if this person wanted her life, she would take his life first.

“Alright, let’s do this…”

Xiao Zeyu lowered his voice and said to Su Qing. Su Qing heard his plan and agreed, “Alright, we’ll do as you say!”

Xiao Zeyu went to the blacksmith shop to dress Zhong Yong and teach him how to speak.

The night was quiet, the wind blew, and the snow fell. A battle was going on between the tides. Some people could not calm down and could not sleep in fear, while others had everything under control.

The following day, the snow stopped, and the wind was still. The workers went out to work after eating early. However, they saw more troops on the street. After asking carefully, they found out that there was a killer last night who severely injured the mighty Su Qing. None of the killers were caught, and they all escaped.

This was big news, and it spread like wildfire. Everyone knew how powerful Su Qing was. If those assassins could injure her, wouldn’t they be even more powerful?

The worst thing was that those killers had not been caught. For a moment, everyone was in a panic, afraid that they would become the targets of the killers.

Someone wanted to get some information, but he went home quietly when he heard this big news.

Zhong Yong was lying at home. His head was bandaged with white cotton cloth, and blood was seeping out from the white cotton cloth. His arm was dressed, and his face was covered in bruises. He looked very seriously injured.

Jiang Yuyan knew that Zhong Yong was back, so she came over every morning and evening to help him cook. She was very considerate.

Today, just like yesterday, she came over early to help Zhong Yong cook. As usual, she called out to Big Brother Zhong when she entered the house. Zhong Yong whined in the house, “Yes, help me get some water.”

When Jiang Yuyan heard Zhong Yong’s weak voice, she hurriedly ran into the house. Seeing that he was covered in injuries, she couldn’t help but cry, “Big Brother Zhong, what’s wrong?”

“Last night, an assassin injured me and my Master. Master’s injuries are serious, I… I’m useless. 1 didn’t protect her well.”

As Zhong Yong spoke, he broke into tears. It was evident that he blamed himself for not protecting his Master well.

“Sister Su Qing…What happened to her?”

Jiang Yuyan’s heart ached for Zhong Yong and Su Qing, so she implored Zhong Yong when she heard that he had something to say.

“Last night, we were making weapons in the blacksmith shop when a group of assassins came. Master fought with the assassins to protect me. She was seriously injured and lost a lot of blood… Boohoo, Master, I didn’t protect you well.”

Zhong Yong was crying because he missed his mother. Seeing Zhong Yong in tears, Jiang Yuyan believed Su Qing’s injury was severe.

“How did this happen? How did this happen?”

Jiang Yuyan muttered in disbelief. Su Qing was like a god in her heart. How could she be seriously injured?

“I… I’ll go find a doctor for you.”

Jiang Yuyan wanted to see Su Qing but was worried about Zhong Yong, so she rubbed her hands together anxiously.

“Go take care of Master. I don’t need you here.”

Zhong Yong suggested letting Jiang Yuyan take care of his Master, but how could Jiang Yuyan let go of the seriously injured Zhong Yong? She wanted to take care of both sides, so she thought of Li Shuanger and Xiaoying.

“I’ll go to Li Shuang’er and ask her to find Xiaoying to take care of Sister Su Qing.”

“Alright.”

Zhong Yong’s eyes lit up as he nodded without batting an eyelid. Jiang Yuyan immediately ran out to look for her after receiving his promise.

Li Shuang’er’s house was next to the Qiu family’s. Jiang Yuyan panicked into Li Shuang’er’s place and shouted, “Shuang’er, come out quickly.”

Before she entered the courtyard, she started shouting, startling Auntie Qiu, who was next door. She came out and asked her, “Yuyan, what happened?”

“Sister Su Qing was attacked last night and was seriously injured.”

Tears welled up in Jiang Yuyan’s eyes as she spoke. She was afraid that Su Qing wouldn’t be able to make it through this.

“Is that so? Where is he? I’ll go see her.”

When she heard that Su Qing was seriously injured, Auntie Qiu was not in the mood to cook. She immediately removed her apron and asked Jiang Yuyan where Su Qing was.

“At the government office!”

Jiang Yuyan had just finished answering when she saw Li Shuang’er come out. She pulled her out and said, as they walked,

“Shuang’er, call Xiaoying to take care of Sister Su Qing. I still have to take care of Big Brother Zhong.”

“Aiya, I’ll go. You’re young and don’t know how to care for others.”

Auntie Qiu chased after them anxiously.

“Alright, Auntie Qiu will take care of her.”

Seeing that Auntie Qiu had volunteered to take care of Su Qing, Jiang Yuyan also felt that she was more suitable. After all, everyone was passionate about Su Qing and would take good care of her.

“Master, I’m going to the government office. The rice is in the pot. You can eat with Dad!”

Auntie Qiu turned around and shouted into the house.

“Alright, take good care of Su Qing. Don’t worry about us.”

Uncle Qiu also came out of the house and instructed his wife to take good care of Su Qing.

Jiang Yuyan saw that someone was taking care of Sister Su Qing and returned to take care of Zhong Yong. Aunt Qiu and Li Shuang’er rushed to the government office.

When they arrived, they heard Xiaoying crying. “Sister Su Qing, open your eyes and look at me. Sister Su Qing, don’t scare me. If anything happens to you after Godmother died, I…1 don’t want to live anymore.”

Xiaoying cried in the room. She held Su Qing’s hand tightly and didn’t let go.

“Xiaoying, don’t cry.”

Xiao Zeyu advised his sister not to hold Su Qing’s hand,” I’m afraid you don’t have to pull her; I’m worried you’ll tear her wounds.”

Aunt Qiu and Li Shuang’er hurried into the room and saw Su Qing lying unconscious on the bed. Her face was as pale as paper, and her left shoulder was wrapped in white cotton cloth. Blood had long soaked through the white fabric, and the glaring red was shocking.

Her neck was also wrapped in a white cotton cloth, which was bloody, like the white cloth on her shoulders. She lay quietly on the bed, her breathing weak and almost unnoticeable. Other than when she saved her, this was the first time she had seen her so vulnerable.

Li Shuang’er’s tears immediately flowed down. She called out to Sister Su Qing and rushed over but was stopped by Xiao Zeyu, “Don’t hurt her. It was not easy to stop the bleeding.”

He pointed at a pile of blood-stained white cloth on the ground. It was all bright red. How much blood had she lost?

“Aiya, what a pity. Who the hell hurt Su Qing like this? If you catch him, 1’11 cut him into pieces.”

Auntie Qiu looked at Su Qing with heartache and stomped her feet angrily.

“We let them escape. These people are highly skilled in martial arts, and the hidden weapons they use are even more vicious.”

Xiao Zeyu’s face was angry, and his eyes could not hide his frustration and defeat. Auntie Qiu quickly comforted him, “Don’t worry, we can catch him. There are so many soldiers in our city!”

“Aunt Qiu, you don’t know, but our soldiers can’t catch those people. They are mighty and specialize in assassination. No, Su Qing can’t stay here. We have to find a safe place.”

After Xiao Zeyu finished talking about how influential those people were, he hurriedly moved Su Qing away. It was as if he had already been frightened by those assassins.

Auntie Qiu heard Xiao Zeyu’s words and asked, “Where is safe?”

“Auntie Qiu, why don’t we carry Su Qing to your house? If we don’t tell anyone, no one will know that Su Qing is at your house..”
