A transmigrated woman ruined my whole family; I was reborn, seized a spatial ability, and had a full

Su Li ignored the gossip and busied herself with getting her family to unload the cart and settle the mules.

In the evening, Peach Blossom arrived at the Su family's residence. Her gaze shifted between the mule cart and Su Li several times. After a moment's hesitation, she spoke in a low voice:

"Li'er, I'd like to go to the town market tomorrow to buy some things. I wonder if I could hitch a ride with you?"

Su Li turned her head upon hearing the sound, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

In her memory, Peach Blossom always wore those few old clothes, left behind by her deceased mother.

More than a decade has passed, and her clothes have long since faded from washing, with patches upon patches, yet she has never bought new clothes, even when the cold winter wind blows in.

Last time we went to the market together, she only bought a pound of salt.

Now that Peach Blossom has taken the initiative to suggest going to the market to buy things, this is clearly a good change.

After a brief moment of surprise, Su Li smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "Of course, I'm going to the shop tomorrow too, so it'll be convenient to go there together."

The next morning, Peach Blossom arrived early and waited outside the Su family's courtyard.

Su Li nimbly climbed onto the carriage shaft, adjusted the reins, and said, "Get in, it's time to set off."

Peach Blossom nodded slightly, raised her hand to tidy her slightly disheveled hair, then straightened her clothes before getting into the carriage, and said softly:

"Thank you, Li'er."

Su Li gently shook the reins, and the mule cart slowly started moving. The wheels rolled over the ground, making a regular "creaking" sound.

"In a few more days, the shop will be almost fully repaired, and our business will be back to normal soon." Su Li's voice was calm, but it also revealed some fatigue from being busy.

These days, the plan to set up a stall at the three-person wharf has been temporarily put on hold in order to repair the shop.

Peach Blossom gazed into the distance, her eyes slightly vacant, and after a moment responded softly:

"Yes, it'll be great once the shop opens..."

He then fell silent and sat quietly in the car, as if he had something on his mind.

Speechless all the way.

The mule cart swayed and rattled into the market, and a cacophony of noise immediately surged forth.

The street was lined with stalls, bustling with people.

After getting off the mule cart, Peach Blossom hurried to the stall selling bedding. She gently twirled the thick cotton quilt with her fingers, picked out a soft one, paid for it, and asked the stall owner to wrap it up and put it in the mule cart.

Then, I went to the herbal medicine shop and bought some nourishing herbs.

Finally, she stopped at the clothing stall and picked out two men's garments: a dark blue robe and a black cotton robe. The fabric was thick and the workmanship was exquisite. It cost her half an ounce of silver to buy them.

Su Li glanced at it and couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Before she could speak, Peach Blossom seemed to sense something and hurriedly explained:

“This is for my dad. His old clothes are all tattered.”

Su Li frowned slightly, but did not ask any further questions. She just stared intently at Tao Hua's back as she walked towards the next stall with slightly flustered steps.

The size of these clothes is clearly not suitable for Peach Blossom's father's short and stocky build.

Peach Blossom's father works hard all year round, so he has a thick back and a round waist. How could he wear such a fitted style?

Su Li stopped in her tracks, her heart pounding in her chest, her mind racing.

First, there were those two men's clothes that were clearly unsuitable for Peach Blossom's father's figure. Then there were these medicinal herbs. Although Peach Blossom's father wasn't exactly in good health, there was no indication that he had been injured or sick recently...

And such thick quilts! Winter is almost over, why buy quilts now?

These things don't seem like they're for Peach Blossom's own family. Could it be...?

Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, and her expression changed slightly—

No way, could it be that down-on-his-luck scholar?!

Su Li took a deep breath, barely suppressing the turmoil in her heart, and tentatively asked:

"Peach Blossom, are you hiding something from me?"

As she spoke, her eyes, like two sharp knives, locked onto Tao Hua, her gaze filled with scrutiny and worry.

Peach Blossom shuddered, her fingers instinctively tightening around the bundle in her hand.

She stiffly turned her head and looked at Su Li's somewhat gloomy face. Her heart skipped a beat, and panic surged into her heart like a tide. She wanted to explain, but she was speechless for a moment.

"me……"

Seeing this, Su Li took another step forward, her heart growing heavier: "Peach Blossom, is there anything between us that we can't talk about?"

Peach Blossom looked at Su Li, sighed deeply, and murmured as she spoke:

"I didn't mean to hide this from you, I just didn't know how to tell you..."

An hour later.

Carrying the things they had bought at the market, the two traversed the rugged mountain path and arrived at a dilapidated temple on the back of the mountain.

Weeds grew rampant, the temple had been abandoned for a long time, the temple gate was dilapidated, and large pieces of red paint were peeling off.

Su Li raised her hand and carefully brushed away the strands of spider silk, her brows furrowed.

As soon as I stepped into the temple, I heard a slight noise coming from inside, and then a figure slowly peeked out from the inner room.

"Peach Blossom Girl, you've arrived." There was a hint of joy in her voice.

Su Li looked closely and saw that it was a slender scholar who looked no more than eighteen or nineteen years old. His long robe was covered with dust and stains, and its original color was no longer visible.

His hair was disheveled, with a few strands hanging over his forehead. His left leg and back had some dried bloodstains, and he walked with a limp.

Even in such a disheveled state, the handsome features in his eyes still shone brightly.

Su Li narrowed her eyes and put down what she was holding.

Ah, it really is him!

The scholar noticed the unfamiliar woman beside Peach Blossom, and a flash of panic crossed his eyes. He staggered back a small step, his body trembling slightly, and asked warily:

"Who...who is this young lady?"

Peach Blossom's face flushed crimson instantly, her eyes filled with panic and confusion. She frantically tugged at Su Li's sleeve and whispered:

"This, this is Su Li, my good friend, you don't need to be afraid."

Su Li suppressed her anger with all her might, a slight smile playing on her lips, her distant gaze tinged with a hint of disgust:

"Young master, you are too kind. Peach Blossom and I have known each other since childhood, and we are as close as sisters. I heard that she saved someone, so I came here out of curiosity. May I ask your honorable name, where you come from, and how you ended up in such a state, taking shelter in this dilapidated temple?"

Although the tone was still polite, the questions came one after another, clearly indicating an aggressive approach.

The scholar was taken aback at first, then forced himself to straighten his disheveled clothes and bowed respectfully to Su Li, his face filled with gratitude and humility.

"My name is Tang Zhengqing. I am from Tangjia Village in the neighboring county. On my way to take the imperial examination, I was robbed by bandits. All my belongings were stolen, and I was seriously injured and trapped in the forest. Fortunately, Miss Peach Blossom came to my rescue, and I was able to find this place to stay."

"I will never forget your great kindness, young lady!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but cough a few times, his body growing increasingly frail.

Su Li still wore a gentle smile. She remembered every detail the scholar had said and planned to ask someone to inquire in the neighboring county when she got back.

Whether it was a deliberate arrangement by "Heaven" or Pei Xiao simply didn't take her words seriously, now that she was right in front of him, he would never allow her to harm Peach Blossom again as he had in his previous life!

Peach Blossom stood aside, watching Su Li's series of actions, her mouth slightly open, her eyes full of astonishment, clearly not expecting Su Li to be so inquisitive.

She stood there awkwardly, wanting to explain, but not knowing where to begin.

She could only steal glances at the scholar from time to time, her eyes filled with worry and a hint of affection...

In the evening, Su Li, exhausted, dragged her feet into her home.

Before he could even catch his breath, he saw Uncle Su standing in the yard, staring at him intently.

My uncle went back to the rice shop in town to keep busy with business a few days ago. Why is he back now?

"Oh my, our little Li is back!"

As soon as Uncle Su saw Su Li, his face instantly lit up with a smile, and he warmly greeted her.
