Du Shaoyou breathed a sigh of relief.

"I heard from Lord Qin that recent disturbances have been frequent, and the government is about to conduct a thorough investigation. So, young lady, there's no need to worry. I think your father may have come to town to discuss how to escape."

Song Lingshuang looked at Du Shaoyou with gratitude, and was surprised to find that she trusted him so much even though they had only met once.

"Well, that's good... But Dad always keeps his word. He definitely still wants me to marry into the Jia family... I don't want to go, Mrs. Gu, I don't want to go!"

Lin Qing wiped her tears and comforted her, "Okay, sister-in-law promises you that no matter what, you and Daya will not marry into the Jia Mansion! Have you eaten? Eat something first."

Song Lingshuang shook her head and said, "Don't bother me, sister-in-law. I'd better go home quickly, lest my mother comes down the mountain and sees that I'm not here, causing more trouble."

"Okay, then let Er Miao take you back. Don't worry, just come to me if you need anything."

After Gu Ermiao sent Song Lingshuang away, the room fell into a brief silence.

After a long time, Gu Damao sighed, his tone quite worried.

"Mother, in your opinion, could those people who lend money at high interest also be related to Master Jia?"

Lin Qing was worried about exactly these things, but she still smiled and said, "Leave these to me. I'll go to town tomorrow and ask someone to gather some information. You guys will also have some work to do. Damao, take Changqing and Shaoyou to look at the simulation."

Seeing Gou get up to wash the dishes, Lin Qing hurriedly called her.

"Sister-in-law, please wait a moment. I have an extremely important errand for you."

Gou sat down nervously. Looking at Lin Qing's smiling face, she subconsciously wanted to resist. Sure enough, her sister-in-law gave her a heavy blow.

"We need to enrich the content of our comic book. I heard that the daughter of Song Dazhi from the next village also married into the Jia family, but somehow she died. I suspect she was murdered, so I'd like you to go to Songjiazhai and find out what happened. Okay?"

Gou was stunned.

She hasn't figured out what saving Daya has to do with the comic book, so why is she asked to find out the information?

She is just a peasant woman who makes fire and cooks. How could she accomplish such an important thing?

But when meeting Lin Qing's determined gaze, Gou felt extremely guilty.

My sister-in-law is so thoughtful for her niece. She is Daya's biological mother. What is there that she can't give up?

So she immediately clenched her fist and said firmly, "Okay, I'll go! Sister-in-law, tell me what I should do!"

Lin Qing couldn't help laughing as he saw her ready to die bravely.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will definitely not let you go alone. How about letting Sihe follow you?"

Gou's face instantly lit up with joy.

Although Sihe is still a child, he is smart and reliable. Having him as a companion makes me feel more at ease.

Lin Qing patted Gou's forearm and soothed her, "Don't stress yourself out. It doesn't matter if you can't get anything out of me. If you encounter danger, remember to escape."

Gou listened to Lin Qing's earnest instructions, her eyes sore and she choked up, "Everything is really thanks to you, sister-in-law. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would have done."

"Sister-in-law, you're really putting it too seriously. You've taught Changqing very well. He's far better than you think. Even without me, he can still be the pillar of the family."

Gou couldn't help but shed tears.

Changqing is her support for the rest of her life, but she is reluctant to burden her child with everything.

It’s great that he can help now!
