Su Qin watched the Su family's carriage go away before she looked away. She felt uncomfortable. Although Su Jijing and his wife were not her biological parents, they were the only relatives related to her in this world. She felt uncomfortable being separated from her relatives. Moreover, she knew that with this separation, her plan of lying down and being supported by others would be ruined. No matter what happened in the future, she would have to bear it on her own.

After sending the Su family off, she was about to ask the Xu family and Wang Er to follow. At this time, a young man came over. He looked at the few people and then asked Su Qin, "Excuse me, is this Miss Su?"

Su Qin hesitated and nodded: "I am, you are?"

The young man bowed and said, "I'm Wu Qian. Brother Zhao asked us to come look for you."

Su Qin understood. She looked at Wu Qian and asked, "Are you willing to escort my father?"

Wu Qian nodded: "I do."

They are all in the same boat. Now they have no power and influence, while Su Jijing still holds an official position. Only by protecting Su Jijing can they have hope.

Su Qin nodded, pointed at the Xu family and Wang Er, and said, "This is the Xu family, and this is Wang Er. You drive the carriage for the Xu family, and then follow them to find an opportunity to get close to my father."

Wu Qian nodded: "Yes."

Su Qin said to Wang Er again, "He is good at martial arts. You should listen to him more in the future."

When Wang Er heard about their martial arts competition, he immediately looked at Wu Qian with envy: "Brother, please take care of me in the future."

Wu Qian nodded at him: "Look out for each other."

Originally, Su Qin wanted to hire someone to drive the carriage for the Xu family, but now that Wu Qian was here, there was no need to hire anyone. Wu Qian drove the carriage for Mrs. Xu, and Xu Chunshan drove one himself. Several people said goodbye to Su Qin and drove the carriage into the crowd.

After they left, Zeng Lao said to Su Qin, "Go back, girl. You've been busy for two days and one night. It's time to go back and have a good rest."

Su Qin smiled tiredly: "I am very tired, go back and have a good sleep."

Zeng Lao looked at the road back to the city and was suddenly dumbfounded: "How do we get back?"

When they left the city, they had taken a mule cart. Now that the carts were gone, how could they get back? The cart driver could walk back, so did he, with his old arms and legs, have to walk back too?

Seeing Zeng Lao's annoyed look, Su Qin smiled and comforted him, "Grandpa, don't worry, let's wait a little longer."

Mr. Zeng: "What are we waiting for? Can we wait for someone to pick us up?"

Su Qin: "Maybe."

Is Mr. Zeng happy now? "Are you saying Liangchen will come to pick us up?"

Su Qin spread her hands: "I don't know."

Zeng Lao was speechless: "You don't know what you are waiting for, it will be dark soon."

But while he was saying this, he was standing on a high place and looking towards the city. Su Qin didn't look at him. She was tired, so she found a stone to sit down and rest.

They waited until everyone around had left and the sun was setting. Zeng Lao, pouting and with his beard twitching, came over and said to Su Qin, "No one is picking us up! I think that brat has forgotten about us a long time ago. Let's go! We have to leave before it gets dark, otherwise the city gate will be closed soon."

Su Qin stood up, patted the dirt, and followed Zeng Lao back, trying to comfort Zeng Lao. However, they had not walked more than a few dozen meters when a carriage came from a distance. Zou Tai, driving the carriage, saw them from a distance and waved and shouted, "Zeng Lao, Miss Su Qing."

Mr. Zeng looked at Su Qin: "Do you know he is coming to pick us up?"

Su Qin shook her head: "I don't know."

Zeng Lao was surprised: "Then why did you let me wait?"

Su Qin explained, "The fact that Wu Qian was able to come here just now means that Lord Zhao went out of the city to look for him. Since he's out of the city, he shouldn't ignore us. But I didn't expect it was Lord Zou who came."

While they were talking, Zou Tai had already arrived in a carriage. He jumped off the carriage and greeted Mr. Zeng with a smile: "Mr. Zeng, I'm sorry, I have to wait until all the victims have left before I can come here. I guess you must be anxious waiting."

Zeng Lao asked, "Why are you here? Where's Liangchen? Why didn't he come?"

Zou Tai: "Oh, he's on duty in the palace today and can't come. When I handed over my shift to him, he asked me to pick you up."

Zeng Lao nodded and said, "Let's go."

Zou Tai took the footstool from the carriage and helped Zeng Lao into the carriage. Then he turned around and looked at Su Qin. Su Qin saluted him slightly and said, "Master Zou."

Facing Su Qin, who was dressed in women's clothes and so polite, he touched the back of his head uncomfortably and smiled foolishly: "Miss Su Qing, please get in the car."

When Su Qin got on the train, she found that Mr. Zeng was already drinking tea. On the small table in the carriage was a charcoal stove with water boiling on it, and a plate of snacks next to it. Mr. Zeng poured Su Qin a cup of tea and pushed the snacks in front of her: "Eat something to fill your stomach first. When we get back to the city, I'll take you to the best restaurant in Beijing."

Su Qin took the tea and said, "Let's go home and I'll cook."

Zeng Lao waved his hand and refused: "You haven't slept all night, you are almost exhausted, why are you cooking? People should learn to enjoy life and not seek hardship."

Su Qin agreed with this view very much. In the past, she was exhausted after a day's work and never cooked for herself. She always ate out. Wasn't it all for the sake of eating well and wearing warm clothes? If she couldn't bear to give up this and that, what was the point of making money?

So she didn't refuse anymore. She drank a cup of tea and ate a piece of dessert. Then she felt a little sleepy and fell asleep leaning against the wall of the car.

When Zeng Lao saw that she had fallen asleep, he went out and sat on the shaft of the cart with Zou Tai. Zou Tai looked at him strangely: "Mr. Zeng, why did you come out? It's cold outside."

Mr. Zeng didn't answer him but asked, "Did you find Wu Qian?"

Zou Tai was a little confused: "Who?"

Mr. Zeng: "Mr. Wu, didn't you ask him to come to us?"

Zou Tai: "Oh, you mean Wu Bin's family? I don't know. Liangchen gave me a letter and asked me to go out of the city to find the Wu family and give it to them."

Seeing that he didn't know anything, Zeng Lao muttered in a low voice: "What a fool."

Zou Tai looked at Zeng Lao dissatisfiedly: "Grandpa, my ears are very good. I heard it. How could I be so stupid?"

Zeng Lao felt a little guilty, touched his nose and said defensively: "I mean you are wise but appear foolish."

Zou Tai was happy again: "This word sounds like a good word."

Zeng Lao couldn't bear to listen any longer and asked in confusion: "You do things for Liangchen without even asking why."

Zou Tai said indifferently: "Why ask? He said that knowing too much with my personality is not a good thing. I just want to know that he won't harm me."

Zeng Lao was puzzled: "Do you trust him so much?"

Zou Tai replied as a matter of course: "Xin, we are brothers."

Zeng Lao patted Zou Tai's shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Liangchen is lucky to have a brother like you."

Zou Tai said happily: "Yeah, I think so too."

The two chatted casually, and half an hour later they entered the city. Zeng Lao asked Zou Tai to drive the carriage directly to the best restaurant in Shangjing City. After arriving, Zeng Lao knocked on the carriage and said, "The girl is here."

Su Qin was awakened, opened her eyes, calmed down, tidied her hair and clothes before getting out of the carriage.

Zeng Lao said to Zou Tai, "Let's go. I'm treating you today. Please feel free to order whatever you want."

Zou Tai threw the reins to the waiter who came out to greet him, and with a chuckle, he supported Zeng Lao: "I knew I would have a good time following you."

The three of them entered the private room. Elder Zeng asked Su Qin to order. She was exhausted and had no appetite, so she only ordered some light dishes. Zou Tai, on the other hand, was not polite and ordered a lot of meat dishes and a pot of wine. As he ordered, he said, "You don't know, I was so busy today. I didn't eat all day. I was patrolling back and forth, worried that there were victims who didn't leave and were hiding in a corner."

While waiting for the food, he was the only one chattering. As soon as the food was served, he immediately shut up and ate with big mouthfuls.

After dinner, Zou Tai sent Zeng Lao and Su Qin back home. After returning home, Su Qin slept soundly. She was so tired that it took her three days to recover.
