Chapter 568: Chapter 568. Sister-in-law Acting
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Seeing that Su Qing was about to pay the bill, the man in black retracted his vigilant gaze and turned around to continue drinking his tea. The guard went over to settle the bill with the waiter. Su Qing stood up with Jiang Yuyan and Xiao Lanxin and said to them in a doting tone,
“You two mischievous b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, have you seen enough this time? You’re not allowed to come out and play anymore.”
“Grandpa.”
Xiao Lanxin reacted quickly and immediately understood that her sister-in-law was trying to distract the people at the table. She went over to hold Su Qing’s arm and acted coquettishly.
Haha, let s go. Grandpa will take you to the restaurant.”
Su Qing seemed to be amused. He smiled and beckoned the two of them to leave. The man in black did not turn around, but he heard their conversation.
This further proved that what he had thought before was right. These two young misses wanted to come out and play. After being locked up at home for a long time, they were unwilling to go back after coming out.
Su Qing brought Jiang Yuyan and Xiao Lanxin downstairs, with two guards following behind. Su Qing and the others were dressed in silk and looked like rich people. It was customary for rich people to bring guards with them.
However, the leader of the men in black kept staring at Su Qing and the others. When they left the teahouse, he suddenly called the waiter over.
“Sir, what instructions do you have?”
The shop a.s.sistant was in a good mood after receiving a silver tael today. When he saw the customer calling him, he came over enthusiastically and hurriedly took off the linen cloth hanging on his shoulder to wipe the water stains on the table. He smiled, thinking he might be rewarded with silver if he served well.
“Have you seen those people before?”
The leader in black pointed at the backs of Su Qing and the others and asked the waiter. The waiter shook his head and said,
No, I haven’t seen him before. We just changed dynasties. The current emperor is benevolent and generous. Rich merchants from all over the world come to the capital to do business.”
“Alright.”
Hearing the waiter’s words, the leader in black nodded and waved his hand to dismiss the waiter. He kept looking at Su Qing and the others thoughtfully. He saw they did not turn back to look upstairs but walked into the restaurant opposite with a smile.
“Sister-in-law, do you suspect them?”
After entering the restaurant, Xiao Ying stopped acting and asked Su Qing in a low voice.
Su Qing nodded.
“Yes, these people are very suspicious. They are looking at when the soldiers change s.h.i.+fts and are coming for the mortars.”
“Sir, please come in.”
The waiter of the restaurant came over. When he saw Su Qing and the others dressed in silk, he knew that they were guests who did not lack money. He smiled brightly and invited them into the restaurant with great enthusiasm.
“I want a window seat on the second floor.”
Su Qing ordered indifferently, and the waiter immediately nodded.
“Alright, please go upstairs.”
Su Qing took Xiao Ying and Jiang Yuyan upstairs and sat by the window. She could see the door of the teahouse from where she sat, but the man in black couldn’t see her.
“Sir, may I know the name of the dish?”
The waiter asked Su Qing, but she waved her hand to stop him from continuing.
“Just order your specialty dishes.”
“Okay, okay. Please wait a moment.”
When the waiter found this easy to handle, he went downstairs happily.
Su Qing kept looking at the door of the teahouse. Two groups of customers had already left, but the men in black had not left.
Two hours later, another group of patrol soldiers walked over. Not long after, the three men in black came out of the teahouse. The leader of the group glanced in the direction of the restaurant.
Xiao Lanxin and Jiang Yuyan couldn’t eat anymore. They were so full that they were rubbing their stomachs. The table was full of food, but Su Qing didn’t eat. She even ordered them not to stop. Their stomachs were about to explode. “Sister-in-law, do you still want to eat?”
Xiao Ying asked Su Qing with a bitter face. Su Qing stood up.
“Let’s go back!”
She had seen everything that she needed to see. She could already confirm that this group was here for the mortars.
On returning to the palace, Su Qing deliberately took a few detours. After her family moved to the capital, Xiao Qi no longer needed to protect them. There were many guards in the palace to protect them. Xiao Qi was finally relieved and strongly requested to return to the system to accompany her master.
So, now that she was in the system, she turned on the big screen without her master’s instructions. She looked behind her master and saw two men in black quietly following her master from afar.
“Master, there are two men in black following you.”
Su Qing had noticed it long ago. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have taken Xiao Ying and the others around.
After confirming that someone was following them, Su Qing took Xiao Ying and Jiang Yuyan to the farm. Su Qing was originally going to inspect the farm’s situation and planned to plant all the corn. By autumn, the warehouse would be full of grain.
The carriage took them to the countryside. The two men in black couldn’t catch up with them after they left the city.
Su Qing sent a guard back to inform Xiao Zeyu of a loophole in their plan. In the future, they could not have a fixed time to change guards. They had to change them randomly every day.
When Xiao Zeyu heard the guard’s report, he took it very seriously. He immediately adjusted the time of the change of guard and sent more men to the Divine Martial Camp. However, all of this was done quietly. They wanted to lure the enemy into their trap.
The two guards who followed the men in black returned to the palace to report that the men in black lived in the Rujia relay station and claimed to be cloth merchants.
Xiao Zeyu ordered them not to arrest anyone for now and to secretly watch
them to see if anyone in the city had contacted them.
Su Qing didn’t return to the palace until night fell. Her boots and clothes were covered in dirt. Xiao Zeyu was approving the memorial when he felt a figure moving in the palace. He raised his head and saw a little old man. His gaze fell on the little old man’s stomach, and a doting smile appeared.
He stopped approving the memorial and stood up to welcome Su Qing. He smiled and held Su Qing’s hand.
Qing er, even your husband wouldn’t be able to recognize you in this outfit.”
“If you can recognize me, others can.”
Su Qing smiled and pulled the beard off her chin. She took off her hat and threw it on the ground. She wrapped her hands around Xiao Zeyu’s neck. Her velvety eyes were bright and pleasant, but her wrinkled face still looked like an old man’s. Her voice was a sweet female voice,
“Shuisheng, I saw our fertile farmland today. It’s very fertile. I plan to plant all of it with corn.”
Hearing her voice, Xiao Zeyu was mesmerized. Looking at her face, he wanted to kiss an old man. In the end, he decided to look into her eyes. No matter how Qing’er disguised herself, he would be able to recognize her because her eyes were unique and different from the rest.
Xiao Zeyu carefully wrapped his arms around Su Qing’s waist and said in a doting voice,
Alright, Qing’er can plant whatever she wants.”
“Those people should be coming for the mortars. They should be j.a.panese
pirates.”
Su Qing especially liked how Xiao Zeyu doted on her, so she took the initiative to kiss him. Just as Xiao Zeyu was about to deepen the kiss, she turned her head away and started talking about serious matters.
“I’ve already sent more people to protect the Divine Martial Camp.”
” I think the safest way is…”
Su Qing whispered her thoughts into Xiao Zeyu’s ear. Xiao Zeyu nodded his head,
“Qing’er’s idea is excellent.”
But it s too late today. We’ll talk about it tomorrow.”
Xiao Zeyu agreed, but he didn’t allow Su Qing to go out in the dark. He pulled
her to the bed and said,
“You rest first; I’ll go approve the memorial.”
Su Qing’s interest was piqued.
“I’ll help you grind the ink.”
“Alright.”
Xiao Zeyu was very happy. With his beloved wife by his side, approving memorials was no longer boring. Su Qing had just picked up the ink stick when the contents of a memorial caught her attention..
