I'm dressed up as the timid eldest daughter, and the whole family has to listen to me!

After slowly finishing her food, Zhili took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth.

"You made this really well, it's even better than what I ate in the palace. Why don't you come back to the capital with me?"

After Zhili finished speaking, he gave Su Banxia a meaningful look.

Upon hearing the words "return to the capital," Su Banxia frowned slightly, then let out a barely perceptible sigh.

"Stop talking nonsense. Why should I go with you? If you're full, hurry up and leave. I need to rest."

Zhi Li stood up and glanced at Su Banxia.

"I might stay here until after the New Year. Remember to visit me on the mountain often and bring me some good food. If you don't come, I'll have to come down the mountain to find you."

After saying that, Zhili jumped out of the window and ran out without waiting for Su Banxia's reply.

Watching his departing figure, Su Banxia thought of Wei Kezhi and wondered how Wei Kezhi was doing now...

Su Banxia shook her head frantically as soon as she thought of this.

"Ha, he's already treating me like a passerby, why should I care whether he's good or bad?"

Thinking this, Su Banxia felt very uncomfortable. She lay down on the bed, closed her eyes, and forced herself to sleep.

the next morning,

Just as Su Banxia and the others finished loading the car, they saw Qin Shi arrive at the small courtyard on Dwarf Mountain carrying large and small packages.

"Oh dear, Banxia, ​​I was thinking I was late. Luckily you haven't left yet. I've been so busy these past few days that I haven't had a chance to visit Su Tao in the city. Today I thought I'd take advantage of the time to ride in your oxcart with you. You won't mind if I don't go, will you?"

Su Banxia glanced at the things Qin Shi was carrying, then met Qin Shi's sincere eyes. Remembering how much Qin Shi had helped her family when her elder brother got married, she sighed and said:

“Aunt, in principle I shouldn’t take you. After all, we have a lot of people and things on our cart. If we had time to take other people, we wouldn’t have had to hire Uncle Niu’s cart to go to the market. If you want to ride in the oxcart again in the future, you can wait for Uncle Niu to come back from the market and take people with you. Since you’re here today, we’ll squeeze in and make room for you. Please don’t make things difficult for me, your niece, like this in the future.”

Qin wanted to roll her eyes at Su Banxia's words, but she held back and just smiled and said:

"Alright, alright, Banxia, ​​I'm not an unreasonable person. Now that you've told me, I'll understand. I promise I won't do it again. I still want to thank you for giving me a ride today."

Su Banxia nodded.

"Alright, it's getting late, let's get in the car quickly."

The group arrived in the city in an oxcart. As soon as Qin got off the oxcart, she went straight to Muxiangzhai. After all, she had never been to Su Tao's house in the city and did not know which Su Tao lived there. She could only go to Muxiangzhai to ask Zhang Guang to take her there.

As soon as Qin Shi arrived at the entrance of Muxiangzhai, she saw Liu Qing'er and Zhang Guang flirting inside the shop, their bodies almost touching. Liu Qing'er reached out to tidy up the stray hairs on Zhang Guang's forehead, her expression and actions very intimate.

Seeing this scene from outside the door, Qin Shi could no longer contain herself. She rushed forward, threw the package she was carrying on the ground, and pointed at Liu Qing'er's nose, cursing:

"You shameless jinx! Of all people to seduce, you had to come and seduce my son-in-law! My daughter is pregnant at home, and you're already flaunting your charms in front of him. You'll never get married, you're just keeping my son-in-law all to yourself. If you like him so much, why didn't you marry him in the first place? Now you regret it and try to seduce him, you're such a shameless slut!"

As she spoke, Qin was about to step forward and tear Liu Qing'er's hair, but Zhang Guang, seeing this, was so frightened that he immediately stepped in front of Liu Qing'er to block her.

"Mother-in-law, don't be angry. It's not what you think. Stop talking and leave now. Why are you causing trouble in our shop? How are we supposed to do business here?!"

Seeing that Zhang Guang was also seething with anger, Qin pointed at him and angrily cursed:

"You're no better than me. If I'd known you were this incorrigible, I shouldn't have let my daughter marry you. Now my daughter is pregnant and bearing children for your Zhang family, and you're out there flirting with other women without any restraint. What kind of person are you? I was really blind to have chosen a family like yours. Do you think I wanted to come to your shabby shop and cause trouble? If you hadn't done those kinds of things, would I have come here to make a scene?"

"No, mother-in-law, stop making a fuss. It's not what you think. There's nothing between Tong Er and me. We really are just fellow disciples. There's nothing more to it. I truly believe I've done nothing to wrong Su Tao!"

As Zhang Guang spoke, he grabbed Qin's arm, trying to lead her out of the shop so as not to delay the business inside. Qin shook off Zhang Guang's hand angrily and said:

"Who do you think you are? Don't try to stop me. I know you don't want me to embarrass you in the shop, but don't do anything shameful. Do you think I'm blind? You two were all lovey-dovey in the shop for a while, and I couldn't stand it anymore, so I rushed in. Do you really think everyone can't see that?"

Seeing that Qin Shi wouldn't listen to his explanation, Zhang Guang increased the pressure on his hands.

“Mother-in-law, please stop making a scene here. Do you really want to make me lose my job? If I lose this job at Muxiangzhai, how will I support Su Tao and her child after they are born? Please don’t harm us. If you really care about Su Tao, then come out with me first. I will explain this to you slowly.”

Upon hearing Zhang Guang's words, Qin immediately tensed up. She gritted her teeth, glared at Liu Qing'er, and then followed Zhang Guang out.

"Zhang Guang, you need to explain this to me. What exactly are you trying to do? Do you want to cheat on my Su Tao with someone else? Let me tell you, Zhang Guang, our family isn't so easy to bully. If you dare to do anything to betray Su Tao, I'll risk my life to get you."

As soon as they stepped outside, Qin grabbed Zhang Guang's arm, glared at him, and said angrily.

Zhang Guang was also a little scared at this moment. If Liu Qing'er had really done something more intimate to him just now, he would be in an even more difficult position to explain. So he quickly smiled and said:

“Mother-in-law, what are you saying? I’ve always treated Qing’er like my own sister. I don’t have any sisters in my family, so I naturally have no reservations about her. Besides, she’s a virgin. If she were to mess around with me, my master would skin me alive before you even had a chance to confront me. Mother-in-law, please rest assured, I will treat Tao well. I will not do anything to betray Su Tao. Su Tao is truly the only one in my heart.”
