Chapter 149 What brings you here? (Bonus chapter for voting)

It started raining in the evening, and Qin Wanrou finally couldn't hold on any longer and had to leave.

To be honest, the fact that she could persist for so long was enough to surprise Qin Su.

The tightly closed door opened, and a girl in a plain dress walked out holding an oil-paper umbrella, stopping in front of her.

Qin Wanrou raised her haggard, dehydrated face. Her pale face and black hair, soaked by the rain, made her look even more like a female ghost.

"Is my sister really going to give up already?"

Qin Wanrou stared at Qin Su with her dark, grape-like eyes, her vision almost blurred, yet her eyes still held a deep hatred.

Compared to previous bullying, this poisoning was clearly mild, but the blow it dealt her was devastating.

She doesn't agree!
She'd rather die than kneel before Qin Sangsang!

“Those who poison others shall be beheaded according to the law; those who poison others but do not kill them shall be punished with one hundred strokes of the cane and exiled for three years.”

As Qin Wanrou struggled to get up and leave, the girl's soft and melodious voice reached her ears through the rain.

Qin Wanrou stopped moving: "What do you mean?"

Her voice was particularly hoarse because she hadn't drunk water for a long time, and she even tasted a bit of sweetness when rainwater rolled into her lips.

"My sister left today, so I'll go to the Jingzhao Prefecture to beat the drum and appeal for justice. Putting everything else aside, at least Aunt Qiu will have to go to court. I just don't know if Aunt Qiu, with her frail health and pregnancy, can withstand the pressure of going to the government office."

"You dare! You dare send my aunt to the authorities? Father won't allow it, I'll beat you to death..."

She struggled to hit Qin Su, but Qin Su kicked her away: "Then kneel properly. Kneel for one night, and I will not pursue this matter."

Qin Wanrou was already weak from not eating all day, and even though Qin Su wasn't very strong, she still slept on the bluestone floor.

"Of course, if your sister thinks that your aunt and the little brother and sister in your belly are not worth your kneeling, that's fine too, you don't have to care."

She was always smiling as a young girl, her face illuminated by the crimson oil-paper umbrella, making her look even more charming and adorable.

Qin Wanrou only felt a bone-chilling cold: "You're getting revenge, aren't you? You're getting revenge on me!"

"If you want your aunt to live, then kneel here properly. If you dare to run away, your aunt is dead!"

The childish, malicious tone of her childhood overlapped with the one of now, as if a slap had traveled through time and space and landed hard on her face.

Qin Wanrou finally regretted it and knelt on the ground, bursting into tears.

At the same time, the long-absent Great Physician System issued a treatment progress notification.

Qin Su glanced at the screen: Oh dear, she really was just bullying someone casually, who knew she could complete the mission?
"What's going on? Didn't I tell Rou'er not to kneel? Why hasn't she come back yet?"

In Qingqiu Courtyard, Aunt Qiu waited for a long time, but her daughter never returned.

Left with no other choice, they sent the nanny to urge them again, but this urging led to an unexpected turn of events:

"Auntie, Fourth Miss, Fourth Miss refuses to come back! She says, she says she must get Third Miss's forgiveness tonight, otherwise she..."

"What's wrong with her?" Aunt Qiu pressed, her face suddenly changing color: "My stomach... my stomach hurts so much..."
-
[Aunt Qiu is emotionally stressed and her mood is fluctuating too much, so she's bleeding. The doctor told her to rest well and not to be stimulated further.] The system relayed the situation at Qingqiu Courtyard to Qin Su.

Like I said before, why did you provoke her for no reason?
It's not that she can't do it, it's just that she doesn't want to!

You had to provoke them, now you're happy, you're almost dead.

The next morning, just before sunrise, the northwest gate of the Prime Minister's residence slowly opened, and a blue-canopied carriage slowly drove out, taking the mother and daughter away from the cage that had imprisoned them for many years.

By this time, the street vendors had already set up their stalls, and the carriage wheels chugged along the stone pavement. Even through the carriage curtain, one could hear the bustling sounds of people outside. Qin Su had never seen the streets of the capital city in the morning before, and couldn't help but lift the carriage curtain to look outside.

The dampness after the rain, the steam from the various breakfast foods at the food stalls, and the fragrance of osmanthus blossoms in August—this is the taste of everyday life.

She couldn't help but give a slightly silly smile.

A noble young man rode past the carriage. She casually glanced up and was unexpectedly met with a pair of exquisite, dark eyes behind the mask. She was suddenly stunned.

When they came to their senses and looked again, the person had already disappeared.

"Miss, what's wrong?"

Spring Breeze was like a whirlwind, always coming along no matter what. Qin Su knew she couldn't shake her off, so she resigned herself to it.

Hearing the voice, she looked over and said, "Let's go to the clinic first before going to the house, and ask the doctor to take a look at Mother."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Xu lay back down. "Doctor, thank you! Doctor, you can save my life!"

This visit took up even more time, and by the time they left the clinic, the sun was already high in the sky.

Unsure of where to stay, Qin Su instructed Chunfeng to buy some necessities along the way before setting off again.
-
The house my scumbag father gave me is in Chongxianfang. It's a small courtyard house, not very big, but it has everything you need.

Strictly speaking, it's actually bigger than the side courtyard where the mother and daughter usually live.

The house has always been looked after, so it's relatively clean and can be moved into after a simple tidying up.

First, Chunfeng and I escorted Aunt Xu to her room, while Chunfeng went to unpack the luggage we had brought.

Qin Su rubbed her stiff neck and prepared to go check on her "room".

As she pushed open the door, she thought she smelled a familiar musky scent, though she wasn't sure if it was just her imagination.

Qin Su paused slightly, then laughed at herself for overthinking things. She had just run into him on the street that morning; how could he possibly be here?
And it's her room... "Who's there?"

Her voice was a little high-pitched, tinged with surprise, as she stared at the slender figure that was faintly visible behind the green gauze screen.

The people inside remained silent, sipping their tea with an air of leisure, as if they were in their own courtyard.

She clenched her fingers, tiptoed over, her breathing inexplicably tense, and then…

"You... what are you doing here?"

Chu Junyan looked up at the sound, revealing a flawless, handsome face that seemed almost unreal.

His deep gaze swept over the girl's delicate and gentle features, like a lion king surveying his territory, bringing a powerful sense of oppression.

His expression was casual and indifferent. Seeing the girl hesitate, he frowned slightly and extended his hand to her: "What are you doing standing there? Come here."

His tone was cold and forceful, leaving her no room to refuse.

Qin Su's gaze swept over the man's skin, which was even whiter than the snow on the eaves. She quietly pouted. A man with skin whiter than a woman's, how annoying.

She was a little annoyed and deliberately walked slowly: "Weren't you going back to the palace? Why are you here..."

The man looked up at her, a faint smile flashing across his beautiful eyes: "Of course I came to see you. After all, you moved out for me."

"What? I didn't... Ah!"

The little girl stared with her beautiful eyes, like a surprised kitten, but before she could finish her retort, her owner scooped her into his arms—
