When Xiaoying heard that he was from Tartan, she couldn’t help but look for Yelu Chun’s figure. Her heart beat wildly, but she did not find Yelu Chun in the house. Xiaoying’s mood fell to the bottom, and her bright eyes dimmed!

“Men, take the envoy of the Tartan Kingdom to rest first!”

Su Qing ordered her guards to send him to the relay station. He was going to be invited to dinner later. Xiao Zeyu was not at home, so she, as the mistress of the house, had to bear this responsibility. She could not let the envoy feel that he was being treated disdainfully. After all, he was here on behalf of the Emperor of Tartan!

After sending off the envoy, Su Qing pulled the disappointed Xiaoying to sit down. She smiled at the little girl who couldn’t hide her thoughts and teased, “Are you disappointed?”

Xiaoying’s face turned red when she was seen through. She called out coquettishly,

“Sister-in-law!””

“Ha, guess why the envoy of Tartan is here?”

Su Qing looked at Xiaoying’s bashful expression, and the smile on her face grew wider. She felt like an old mother. A girl would eventually have to marry someone when she grew up. She was lucky to be able to marry the person she liked. In ancient times, there were too many women who had no choice but to marry the person they liked. Otherwise, there would not be such a poignant and beautiful love like Liang Zhu!

As long as Yelu Chun was sincere to Xiaoying and didn’t have any other women, they would be a good couple!

Xiaoying’s heart skipped a beat when she heard her sister-in-law’s words. The intelligent girl had already guessed it. Her face turned even redder, and she was so embarrassed that she could not raise her head. However, the smile on her lips still revealed her happy mood!

“Are you willing to marry into Tartan? There are many rules in the palace. Can you get used to freedom?”

The smile on Su Qing’s face disappeared as she asked Xiaoying solemnly!

” Love in the royal family is not as romantic as romance. The complicated court etiquette will bind Xiaoying, making it even harder for Yelu Chun to guard her daily. As a woman in the royal palace, she will be very lonely. All she can do every day is wait. Such a day is not as happy as a small day where a husband and a wife sing together! Your family is thousands of miles away from you. If you marry there, it’s equivalent to never being able to return to your family for the rest of your life!”

She had yet to accept Tartan’s request, so Su Qing told Xiaoying about the pros and cons!

She and Xiao Zeyu didn’t want Xiaoying to marry into Tartan.

Xiaoying bit her lip and frowned slightly. Her clear eyes had a hint of worry. Sister-in-law’s words made her very conflicted. She liked Yelu Chun but could not bear to part with her brother and sister-in-law!

Not being able to see her brother and sister-in-law for the rest of her life made Xiaoying’s heart ache, and her tears flowed uncontrollably!

However, giving up on Yelu Chun made her heart ache. She had nothing to live for!

Seeing Xiaoying in so much pain, Su Qing couldn’t bear to part with her! She put her arm around Xiaoying’s shoulder and comforted her,

“Go back and think about it. Your big brother and I haven’t promised Tartan yet. Think about it carefully before telling me!”

Xiaoying leaned into Su Qing’s arms. She had no choice. No matter what she chose, she would be sad!

Su Qing patted her shoulder gently.

Seeing Xiaoying cry, she felt terrible, too!

One was happy when he married a wife but felt uncomfortable when he married off his daughter!

Xiaoying was in a daze. She went back with a conflicted look in her eyes. Su Qing went to find Qin Meng. It had been so many days. Why hadn’t the grinding tool been made yet?

After Qin Tie followed Xiao Zeyu, he was highly regarded. She had specially bought him a house and even maids and servants. She had also specially sent troops to protect him. Her standards were higher than anyone else’s!

Qin Tie’s residence was in a bustling area in the center of Mo City. It was in an excellent location!

When Su Qing arrived, Qin Tie was angry at the servant girl.

“Who let you in? Get out, all of you.”

The two maids were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They ran out with trays of untouched food on them.

“What happened?” Su Qing stopped them and asked.

“We brought food to Master, and he’s angry that we disturbed him!”

When the servant girl saw that it was Su Qing, her expression became even more nervous, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito’s.

“Is your master having breakfast or lunch?”

Su Qing saw it was almost noon and asked the two maidservants.

“Master didn’t eat breakfast. This is lunch.”

The two maidservants were trembling, fearing that the Young Master’s wife would blame them for not taking good care of Sikong One. They were afraid that Su Qing would punish them.

Sikong One was easier to serve than the other masters. He didn’t have so many rules. They wouldn’t have a good life if they were sold to a powerful matriarch.

Su Qing understood when she heard that Qin Tie hadn’t eaten breakfast. Qin Tie was making a mold and didn’t want anyone to disturb him. He couldn’t go on like this. She didn’t want to starve him. Su Qing asked the servant girl for a tray.

“Give me the food.”

“Yes.”

The two maidservants felt relieved because Su Qing didn’t take offense. They respectfully agreed and handed the tray to Su Qing with both hands.

“You can leave!”

Su Qing asked them to leave. The mold of the mortar was too important. In the future, she has to arrange for guards to deliver food to Qin Tie to ensure the safety of the mold.

Su Qing knocked on the door twice, and Qin Tie’s irritated voice came from inside the room.

“Won’t eat, won’t eat, don’t disturb me.”

“It’s me.”

When Qin Tie heard Su Qing’s voice, he hurriedly approached to open the door and looked at Su Qing nervously.

It’s over; it’s over. The young madam must have come to ask about the mold, but he hasn’t done it yet. What should he do?

Qin Tie’s eyes were filled with guilt and unease. He asked Su Qing nervously,

“Young Madam, why are you here?”

Su Qing looked at Qin Tie’s unkempt beard, thick dark circles under his eyes, and eye bags that were so big that they were about to fall off. Perhaps because he kept scratching his head, his hair became a giant chicken nest. How could Su Qing have the heart to blame him for being slow?

Su Qing smiled.

“Sir, eat first. You’ll only have the strength to work after you’re full.”

“Thank you, Young Madam.”

When Qin Tie saw Su Qing personally bring him food, he was so touched that his eyes turned red. Since he discovered that Su Qing had helped him kill the Five Ghosts, Qin Tie had been dead set on her. Su Qing’s position in his heart was as high as a god.

“Did you encounter any problems?”

Su Qing saw Qin Tie’s reddened eyes but didn’t see through them. He walked into the room. How long had it been since the room had had ventilation? The smell was terrible. This kind of relief was not conducive to doing delicate work. It was easy for people to get irritated.

“I used many materials to make the mold, but it was not ideal.”

When Qin Tie heard Su Qing’s question, his expression became awkward. This kind of mold was too delicate. If the materials were not suitable, he could not make it.

“What materials do you need? I’ll help you think of a way.”

“Making this kind of cylinder requires refined iron. It can only be dug out at high speed, so…”

Qin Tie pointed at Su Qing’s mortar. This was the problem. The steering wheel was also exact. He was stuck here.

“Alright, do you need refined iron? If you need anything in the future, send a guard to tell me. Don’t scratch your head yourself. It’s useless if your head is scratched.”

Su Qing looked at Qin Tie’s messy table. It was filled with models. He had already made the mortar model he wanted using wood. However, he could not find shells in wood, so they could only be used for decoration and could not be used in war.

“Young Madam, do you think this will do?”
