The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.
Chapter 56 Never Break Your Promise
Su Qianqian helped search through several boxes and found dozens of account books in a small camphor wood box.
Gong Yu picked out a few of the most important account books and stuffed them into the bundle containing the sponge cakes, carrying them with him at all times.
Through their combined efforts, they quickly found the exit to the treasure, which was a huge stone gate.
Holding a candle, Su Qianqian searched for the mechanism to open the stone door.
Only then did Gong Yu remember to ask about the candles: "Where did the candles come from?"
The candle was bought in the county town and hidden in the space. Sure enough, Gong Yu, that clever guy, easily noticed the anomaly.
"Oh, I always carry this candle with me. When we were sleeping together, didn't you feel that I was hiding a candle on me? But I felt that you were hiding a candle on you too, and it was even thicker than mine."
Then I successfully saw Gong Yu blush.
Su Qianqian was suddenly covered in mouth by a warm hand. Gong Yu whispered a reminder, "Shh, someone's coming."
Listen carefully, and you can hear unfamiliar footsteps coming from a distance. Judging from the sound, there should be about 8 people.
Su Qianqian quickly blew out the candles and also blew out all the bronze wall lamps that had been lit earlier, then hid behind a stone pillar.
With a loud "boom," the stone door that Su Qianqian and her companion had discovered earlier opened, and blinding sunlight shone in, confirming that the stone door indeed led to the outside world.
Once they stepped out of this stone gate, she and Prince Gong could escape.
Eight masked men dressed in black walked in from outside the stone gate.
The leader ordered, "Anyone who causes trouble will lose their head. Everyone, patrol carefully."
Since Gong Yu didn't make a move, Su Qianqian quietly hid and didn't come out.
After the eight people left and triggered the mechanism, Su Qianqian observed that the way to open the stone door at the exit from the inside was to turn the wall lamp on the left side of the stone door three times to the left to open the stone door.
The cliff is too dangerous; it's much easier to get out through the gate of this treasure vault.
I wonder how her family is doing now? It's been a whole night, and they must be extremely worried about her safety.
Su Qianqian listened carefully to the sounds, and only after the footsteps of those people had faded into the distance did she turn the mechanism, open the stone door, and walk out.
The air outside was fresh, unlike the stuffy air inside the cave.
Su Qianqian took a few deep breaths of fresh air. After walking a few steps, she turned around and found that the entrance to the treasure looked ordinary, hidden in an ordinary forest. Who would have thought that the large blue stone covered with moss in the forest was actually the entrance to the treasure?
Where do those people who usually guard and patrol this place live?
Su Qianqian had lived at the foot of the mountain for several days and had never seen any smoke rising from the mountain, so she was very curious about what the people guarding the treasure ate every day.
Gong Yu left a mark near the large blue stone. He had just recovered from poisoning and had been smashing the stone cave for a long time, so he was walking with a limp.
Su Qianqian walked over and took Gong Yu's arm, her eyes meeting the deep gaze of the young master.
This guy is so enviable! He's even prettier than a woman, with bright red thin lips, a high nose bridge, and narrow eyes. Every feature of his face is in line with her aesthetic.
"Young Master Gong, let me help you."
Su Qianqian knew that Gong Yu's combat strength had not yet recovered, so she couldn't be discovered by the enemy and therefore deliberately chose to go to secluded places.
During the third wrestling match, Gong Yu landed on her and accidentally kissed her lips, which were soft and warm.
Beneath them was a steep grassy slope covered with pale purple wildflowers, the flowers of which were small, less than half the size of a copper coin.
Birds were chirping in the forest, but Su Qianqian's attention was entirely focused on her own heartbeat, which was pounding very hard.
The Crown Prince did not get up immediately; instead, he used his hand to protect her head, afraid that she would bump into the stone next to her.
Mo Xiaobei just happened to come looking for her at this time.
"Young Master—"
Mo Xiaobei discovered that the young master was not in any danger at all. The young master had pressed Miss Su down on the grass, and he was even holding Miss Su's head affectionately. Anyone with eyes could see what he was doing.
On the surface, the young master is cold-hearted and pure, but I never expected him to be so unrestrained behind the scenes, using the sky as his blanket and the earth as his bed.
"Ah, Your Highness, I didn't see anything."
Gong Yu stood up and quickly straightened his clothes.
His lifelong reputation was completely ruined by the little girl beside him.
Mo Xiaobei was accompanied by six other guards.
The guard stepped forward and bowed: "Sir, we sent hundreds of men to search the mountains for you, but thankfully you are unharmed."
Mo Xiaobei thought to herself: Does the young master look unharmed? He can't even walk anymore and relies entirely on Miss Su for support.
Moreover, the young master's lips were all chapped from kissing.
So even in his condition, the young master still managed to pounce on Miss Su. That's quite impressive.
Mo Xiaobei quickly took Su Qianqian's place and helped Gong Yu up.
Su Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, someone had taken over her work. "You guys chat. I'm going down the mountain first, otherwise my family will worry."
Last time she went missing, the whole village went to the foot of the mountain to look for her. Hopefully, last night's incident didn't cause too much of a commotion. Otherwise, if those men in black find out that she is from Lotus Village at the foot of the mountain, it might implicate the entire village.
Mo Xiaobei explained, "Miss Su, please don't worry. I was afraid your family would be concerned, so I sent someone to your home yesterday to inform them that you went to the Meng family residence in the county town as a guest."
Su Qianqian thanked her and then turned to leave.
Gong Yu's voice came from behind, "Miss Su, I never go back on my word."
Mo Xiaobei was very curious. What exactly was this "cannot break a promise"? Was there a secret that even he, as an attendant, could not know?
Su Qianqian waved her hand behind her to indicate that she understood.
She really didn't care about Gong Yu's words that he would take responsibility and marry her.
In the Great Qi Dynasty, most men of Gong Yu's status had three wives and four concubines. Compared to marrying Gong Yu, it was more reliable to focus on making money and building a career.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, Su Qianqian took out a handkerchief to cover her face and untied her hair tie to get a new hairstyle.
Thinking that some of the men in black who were chasing her had seen her face, she was worried that if they sent spies into the village to investigate, seeing her face would give them away. So covering her up was the safest option.
Su Qianqian changed her clothes as soon as she got home.
Seeing her daughter covering her face with a handkerchief, Madam Gu asked worriedly, "Daughter, what happened to your face?"
"Oh, it's nothing, I just got stung on the face by a wasp."
Su Bing was very worried. "Daughter, Uncle De, the old hunter in our village, has a remedy for wasp stings. I'll go and ask him for it."
Su Bing was extremely anxious and ran away before Su Qianqian could stop him.
Although this father wasn't very smart and was bullied by the Su family for so many years, his love for his daughter was genuine.
Su Qianqian quickly took a shower and decided not to wear that crimson dress for a while to avoid being recognized by the group of men in black.
After she finished her work and sat down to drink tea, Su Ping'an came over and handed her a bag of silver. "The five wild boars sold for a total of 15 taels of silver. Sister, you'll be of marriageable age in a few months. Keep this as part of your dowry."
Su Qianqian planned to treat her brother's leg first.
It was a custom in the Great Qi Dynasty for a girl to marry at the age of 15, when she reached the age of coming of age, but she did not want to marry so early.
Why not just focus on your career? I was already in my thirties and still single before I time-traveled.
Madam Gu muttered, "Er Ya hasn't been coming to learn embroidery lately. Could it be that the old lady has locked her up? Why don't we go to the old house to check on her, just in case something happens?"
Before the family split up, Er Ya was a great help to the third branch of the family.
Before Su Qianqian transmigrated, Xiao Bao was able to drink hot water thanks to Er Ya and the Third House. Xiao Bao was also spared too much beating because Er Ya usually helped cover for him.
"Mom, it's damp and cold at the foot of the mountain. Hurry up and sew a few more quilts. I'll go to Sister Erya's place."
She was afraid that Gu Shi would be bullied if she went to the old house because she was soft-hearted, so she stopped her.
Su Qianqian walked to the willow tree at the entrance of the village and found that Sun Shi and Fang Yingxue were both there.
There were many villagers, and as soon as they saw Su Qianqian coming, they surrounded her.
"Qian'er is here. Are you going to clear land again tomorrow? Can my family send another person?"
"Qian, my husband is incredibly strong and a master at clearing land. Could he come to your house and help with the clearing?"
All the chestnuts in the mountains have been picked, and the destructive power of the wild boar king last time has left a shadow in the villagers' minds, so everyone is not as interested in going into the mountains to find food as before.
But everyone needed to earn money to support their families, so they all wanted to help the third branch of the family clear land.
"Sure, you can just go find my dad then."
Fang Yingxue rolled her eyes. No matter how popular that brat is, she's still just a peasant girl. What's so great about her?
Once my brother marries the county magistrate's niece, let's see how arrogant you can still be!
